Chapter 400 Li Xin Returns
Modu did not disappoint the Xiongnu. In the days that followed, he reorganized the army and reformed the system, and the Xiongnu's strength gradually recovered.
Lu Jia, Liu Qi, and Tian Xiaodao, who were closely observing all of this, couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion. They were amazed by Maodun's prowess; at such a young age, he had repeatedly managed to escape danger, which was truly admirable.
What's even more shocking is that Maodun was such a ruthless person. He not only killed his stepmother with his own hands, but also mercilessly murdered his unborn brother, and even his own father was not spared. Such a ruthless person truly instilled fear in them.
Seeing that the current situation was extremely unfavorable to them, Lu Jia said with a solemn expression, "Things have come to this point, and the only thing we can do now is to establish our own power as soon as possible."
Liu Qi and Tian Xiaodao exchanged a glance, instantly understanding Lu Jia's intention. The original three-way balance of power on the grasslands was actually the most advantageous situation for them. This was because all three forces were relatively weak at that time, and none could pose a significant threat to the Central Plains.
However, the Donghu have lost their former glory and are far less powerful than before. Therefore, the remaining Yuezhi and Xiongnu will inevitably face a life-or-death struggle. Regardless of which side emerges victorious, the steppe will be unified. And once the steppe is unified, both the Yuezhi and the Xiongnu will pose a tremendous threat to the Central Plains.
The most direct and effective way to defeat Modu was undoubtedly to confront him head-on on the battlefield. Therefore, possessing a powerful force entirely of Qin origin was crucial. Tian Xiaodao deeply agreed, nodding thoughtfully and saying, "Before coming to the grasslands, the princess clearly stated that we should find a way to establish our own power. Now, after a period of effort, we have successfully subdued two smaller tribes. As long as we continue to develop step by step, given time, we will surely be able to compete with Modu on the battlefield."
Lu Jia nodded in agreement, adding, "While the speed of development is important, ensuring the loyalty of these tribes is even more crucial. After all, only by truly winning their hearts can this power be stabilized and strengthened. Furthermore, I am quite concerned about the leader they have chosen; I wonder who it is?"
Tian Xiaodao quickly replied, "The leader is Du Che. He is not only the princess's personal bodyguard, but also the instructor responsible for teaching us martial arts. He looks quite similar to a Xiongnu person, and his martial arts skills are superb. His strength should not be underestimated."
After listening, Lu Jia nodded again and praised, "The princess is indeed far-sighted, having even considered this step. It is truly admirable!"
At this moment, Liu Qi suddenly interjected, "Now, the two of us are probably no longer able to return to the Xiongnu. In that case, why don't we go to the Yuezhi together and seek other opportunities for development?"
Lu Jia agreed with Liu Qi's suggestion, and said with a smile, "That's exactly what I was thinking too."
After careful consideration, the three began to discuss the tasks each of them would be responsible for. They carefully analyzed the current situation and, based on their respective expertise and abilities, developed a detailed plan.
First, Liu Qi was assigned to gather intelligence. He needed to investigate relevant information in depth to understand the enemy's movements and plans. This was a difficult but important task that required him to have keen observation and analytical skills.
Tian Xiaodao is responsible for organizing and coordinating all parties to ensure the team's operations proceed smoothly. He needs to maintain close contact with other members, transmit information in a timely manner, and coordinate resources from all sides to deal with any possible situations.
Finally, Lu Jia was given the responsibility of carrying out specific tasks. He needed to formulate concrete action plans based on intelligence and intelligence, and act decisively at critical moments to achieve the mission objectives.
After clarifying their respective tasks, the three exchanged opinions and made final adjustments and improvements to the plan. Then, without hesitation, they split up and went to their respective posts to carry out their tasks.
On the grasslands, various tribes were undergoing unprecedented and immense changes. However, far away in Xianyang, Ying Wuyou received exciting news—Li Xin had returned!
Time flies, and Li Xin has been away from Xianyang to Baga Island for over a year. Only he himself truly knows how much hardship and danger he endured during that time. And now, his safe return is undoubtedly wonderful news.
For King Qin and Ying Wuyou, Li Xin's return was undoubtedly a momentous event. He was not only a brave and skilled general, but also a symbol—a symbol representing the boundless expanse of the land beneath their feet.
Li Xin's return made them realize that other people were living in faraway places. This greatly broadened their understanding of the world and made them realize that the world was much larger than they had imagined.
The existence of Baga Island provided them with conclusive evidence that the ocean is not invincible. This not only ignited their desire to explore the ocean but also convinced them that with enough courage and wisdom, they could conquer this vast blue expanse.
Furthermore, this also proves an important point—traveling by ship allows one to go to farther places and see a wider world. This is undoubtedly a huge temptation for many adventure enthusiasts. They begin to dream about future adventures, imagining themselves crossing oceans to reach those unknown shores.
Most importantly, Li Xin's return signifies the fruitful results of their exploration. They returned laden with valuable experience and knowledge, which will provide strong support for their future development.
Moreover, Li Xin's safe return was also a momentous event for the people of Qin. His name was already a household name, and his heroic deeds were widely celebrated. The people were filled with anticipation for his return, believing that he would bring even more glory and prosperity to Qin.
Ying Wuyou went to greet him with great joy, and when he saw Li Xin returning with the carriages behind him carrying boxes of goods, his eyes were filled with surprise.
The King of Qin was overjoyed and immediately summoned Li Xin, asking him to recount in detail what he had seen and heard on Baga Island, as well as the various rare treasures on the island.
Although Li Xin was not good with words, this was something he had personally experienced, so he was able to tell the story vividly and expressively, presenting the thrilling scenes and interesting stories one by one.
When King Qin and Ying Wuyou heard Li Xin describe their fierce battle with the pirates, both were greatly shocked. For Ying Wuyou, pirates were merely fictional figures from cartoons; she had never imagined that such a ruthless group of people actually existed in real life.
