Chapter 217: The Entanglement Between the Huns and the Great Han

This is the first time tonight that I have been shocked.

At first they thought you were just one of Xue Ruffian's personal soldiers, but suddenly you were told that he was King Youxian of the Huns.

If you tell me this, no one will believe it!

You must know that among the people who attacked Yanmen Pass, there were Huns, and they were led by the King of the Huns.

As a result, as soon as you defeated those Huns, the number three figure of the Huns appeared on your side.

This makes Zhang Yan and the others somewhat embarrassed.

Fortunately, he saw everyone's expressions. As a human spirit, he immediately guessed what he wanted them to do.

"My lords, I have long drawn a clear line with Huchuquan, King of the Huns."

"Hu Chuquan overestimates his capabilities and tries to collude with Bu Dugen to attack the Han Dynasty. I will never collude with them!"

"Today, our king is here to assure you all that in this Northern Expedition, I, the Righteous King of the Huns, will be the vanguard!" Gobi said with great enthusiasm and a righteous look on his face.

It was as if there was some deep hatred between him and Bu Dugen and Huchuquan.

Seeing that everyone's expressions were still a little unnatural, Xue Pianzi spoke at this moment and said: "My lords, the emperor already knows about the matter of going to serve."

"In addition, the emperor has moved all the troops of King Youxian who went to Bi to Yongzhou to enrich the population of Yongzhou." Xue Pizi said.

When Zhang Yan and others heard what Xue Pianzi said, they suddenly realized.

After hearing Zhang Yan's words, they finally understood the emperor's intentions and what Xue Pizi meant by these words.

In fact, the matter of the Xiongnu moving inland was mentioned as early as the time of Emperor Guangwu.

But at that time, the situation was a little special.

It was during the Western Han Dynasty that the Xiongnu first requested annexation. At that time, the Xiongnu were first violently beaten by Emperor Wu.

It was at that time that the Xiongnu began to express their surrender, and then experienced suppression by Emperor Xuan, Emperor Yuan, and Emperor Cheng, which caused the Xiongnu to collapse.

As the saying goes, poverty leads to change. The Huns, who had been suppressed by the Han for a long time, thought of a change. Since they couldn't defeat the Han, they might as well leave.

Go to a place that is out of reach of a big man and recuperate.

But some of them felt that instead of going far away, they would surrender on the spot and live a life of obedience, completely embracing the Han.

Neither party could convince the other, so the Huns completely split into two tribes.

The Northern Xiongnu traveled far away to Central Asia and started their new life again.

The Southern Huns began to write letters to the Han, requesting to enter Chang'an to pay homage to the Emperor of Han. This was equivalent to the Huns treating the Emperor of Han as their own monarch.

In current terms, the Southern Huns surrendered and did not want to fight.

As a result, the Huns began a half-century-long journey of seeking peace.

In the fourth year of Jianping, which was the reign of Emperor Ai, the Southern Xiongnu sent people to Chang'an to seek peace and express their surrender, but Emperor Ai refused.

The reason is that now that the big man is poor, if you want to come to see him, I have no gift to give you in return, so I don’t want to come to see you. Let’s keep the old ways.

What do you mean by the old way? Every year, the Han army returns a group of Han troops and goes into the grassland to visit the Huns.

It’s still the kind of visit without gifts.

The Huns, who were already scared of being beaten by the Han Dynasty, repeatedly stated that they were not meeting the Han Emperor for gifts.

Emperor Ai replied, "That's not possible. The Han Dynasty is a kingdom in heaven, and the ministers must give something when they come to see him, otherwise it will be unreasonable."

Therefore, what the big man means is to let the Huns hold on for a few more years. When the big man has collected enough gifts in return, you can come to see him again.

Later, due to Wang Mang's usurpation of the Han Dynasty, the Central Plains was in chaos, so they had no time to deal with the Huns. The Huns also took the opportunity to regain some strength.

Feeling that the big man was gone now, he felt that he could do it again, so he stopped mentioning the matter of the audience.

When Emperor Guangwu revived the Han Dynasty, he saw his old enemy to the north and started dancing again.

For a son of the plane like Emperor Guangwu, how could he allow himself to have a neighbor like the Xiongnu to the north?

It's just that at that time, the Han Dynasty was riddled with holes and was in need of improvement. Emperor Guangwu wanted to conquer the Xiongnu in the north, but he also had some strong intentions but insufficient strength.

After Emperor Guangwu stood up again and had a few small fights with the Huns, the Huns understood that the uncle is always your uncle.

Although the big Han has not yet returned to its heyday, beating a small Southern Huns is as easy as beating a younger brother.

So the Huns once again put the matter of meeting the Emperor of Han on their agenda.

At this time, Emperor Guangwu also felt that the Huns were poor and evil, and there was no benefit in beating them.

It happened that at this time the Huns requested an audience with Nei Fu, so Emperor Guangwu just went with the flow.

But at this time, fifty years had passed since the Huns first came to the Han Dynasty to request annexation.

The Huns' road to peace was not short of a long one.

Later, Emperor Guangwu discussed with his ministers how to settle the Huns.

There were two main opinions at that time. One was to move the Huns' royal tent to the Hetao area because it was very close to the Han Dynasty.

If the Huns are disobedient one day, the Han can directly send troops to beat the Huns, without having to go deep into the grassland like before.

The other option, which is more extreme, is to require the Huns to annex collectively, just like the common people of the Han Dynasty, set up counties and counties, send people to teach, and directly assimilate.

This suggestion is rather harsh, it is equivalent to directly erasing the Xiongnu from the forest of this world. From now on, the word Xiongnu will only exist in history books.

Therefore, this suggestion was collectively opposed by those Confucian scholars.

At this point, I have to complain about these Confucian scholars.

They are worried about the Huns, but they are anxious for the Huns. I really don’t know who they are serving as their leader.

However, since the Han Dynasty abolished hundreds of schools of thought and only respected Confucianism, the influence of Confucian scholars has been extremely huge.

As a result, the tough Emperor Guangwu had no choice but to compromise in the end, follow the advice of Confucian scholars, and settle the Huns in the Hetao area.

Later, due to the protection of the Han Dynasty, the Huns began to slowly recover their strength, and there were also the Huns during the Five Husties period of chaos in China.

But now, Gongsun Zan and others suddenly heard that the emperor Liu Xie directly asked King Youxian to take King Youxian's troops to Yongzhou.

You must know that Yongzhou has a special stimulation location. After all, Chang'an is located in Jingzhao of Yongzhou, so it is impossible to allocate a piece of land to the Huns in Yongzhou to allow them to develop on their own.

After the Huns entered Yongzhou, they would definitely be broken up and split up by the Han Dynasty, and then counties would be established and directly under the direct leadership of the Han court.

In this way, as long as one hundred and eighty years pass, the word Xiongnu will really become a noun.

Therefore, when military generals like Gongsun Zan heard that Liu Xie planned to arrange this, they all raised their hands in agreement.

It needs to be explained here that the people who proposed moving the Huns inland and establishing counties were mainly military generals.

The civil servants, that is, the Confucian forces, suggested that the Han Dynasty allow the Huns to move inward to the Hetao.

Now Liu Xie ordered the Xiongnu to move to Yongzhou, which means that the Xiongnu movement that lasted for hundreds of years ended with the victory of their generals.
