Chapter 905 Contradiction
In the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, Sushun was a large tribe. But in the Central Plains, its size was not as large as some county towns. The tribe had a small city, also called Sushun City. There were more than 10,000 people working and living in the city all year round.
The rest of the Sushun tribe were scattered around the city.
This morning.
Sushun Houhauge came to the north city gate with his guards. He came back to his senses and looked at the situation in the city, his eyes gradually darkened.
He is thirty-five years old this year, has a majestic face, is extremely strong, wears fur clothes, and has pigtails on his head. He looks not much different from the Mongolian people.
After so many years of development, the Sushun tribe has gradually become Mongolian. The nobles in the tribe all speak Mongolian.
"Jin Tie. Our life is getting worse and worse." Hauge withdrew his gaze and said angrily to his confidants: "The Mongols and Yuan people fought on two fronts, especially in the battle with the King of Han in Liaodong, and suffered heavy casualties.
They took away many of our strong men and weakened us."
"The Han people captured Goguryeo and blocked our land and sea. The ginseng, furs and other items we produced were all gathering dust in warehouses."
"And the taxes of the Mongolian people are getting heavier and heavier."
"They even interfered with who I appointed as my successor."
"Jin Tie. I really want to kill the Meng Yuan capital and kill the Meng Yuan emperor."
The tall and mighty Jin Tie's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he quickly said to the guards around him: "You must pretend that you didn't hear these words. If anyone dares to leak even a few words, I will kill you."
"yes."
The guards showed awe-inspiring expressions, responded, dispersed around, and hid far away.
"Master Hou, although the guards are all your confidants, they may also be Meng Yuan's spies. You must never say these words again."
Jin Tie advised.
"It doesn't matter. So what if the Meng Yuan people find out? At most, they will kill me." Hauge sneered and said with his head held high.
Jin Tie was silent, he understood his master's mood very well.
After thinking for a while, Jin Tie advised: "Master Hou, in fact, the second young master is also a good heir."
"How can you not establish an eldest son but a second son? And I don't like that boy." Hauge said coldly.
"Hey." Jin Tie sighed and said no more.
Although Hauge has the blood of the Meng Yuan royal family and Sushun is actually not that big, as the leader of the tribe, who doesn't want to stretch his body and grasp absolute power?
But now the Mongolian people do not regard the Sushun people as human beings, and they knock their bones and suck out their marrow. They are restricting Hauge in many things.
Hauge's wife was the daughter of the Meng Yuan clan, but they had no children. Hauge had many sons born from concubines. According to the rules, the eldest son inherited.
But the Mongolian people must support Hauge's second son to ascend to power.
All these things made Hauge, who was originally impulsive, develop a huge rebellious mentality, and his anger towards the Meng Yuan people reached a terrifying level.
But Sushun did not have the strength to resist Meng Yuan. This fire of anger was very likely to burn Hauge himself to death.
At this moment, one of Haug's confidants walked up the city wall with a solemn expression, came to Haug's side, and whispered a few words.
Hauge's expression changed drastically and he immediately called Jin Tie aside.
"Jin Tie. Wu Nian sent someone to see me." Hauge's expression was very strange and complicated. It was mixed with fear, excitement, and reverence.
It is human nature to be strong.
Wu Nian started his career with 300 elite soldiers. In more than ten years, he swept through four prefectures in Liaodong and destroyed an entire country. His powerful martial name has spread throughout Fusang, Mongolian, Yuan and Chu states.
Hauge respected Wu Nian very much, but he was also extremely afraid. How terrifying was this man to the Mongolian people and the methods of foreigners?
Although the Sushun people were not Meng Yuan people, they were still subjects under the rule of the Meng Yuan empire. An unknown number of Sushun warriors died in Liaodong, under the butcher knife of Wu Nian.
Although Hauge's character is unstable, he is not stupid. Knowing that Wu Nian is looking for him, he must have bad intentions.
And he didn't have any good intentions towards Meng Yuan.
Isn’t it true that if you want to doze off, you just need a pillow?
But working with the Liaodong Tigers?!
"Liaodong Tigers?" Jin Tie's voice trembled, and his mood was almost exactly the same as Hauge's.
"What should I do?" Hauge's eyes flickered, and his tone couldn't stop being excited.
Jin Tie calmed down a bit, and after thinking for a while, he shook his head and said: "Master Hou, we Sushun are too weak. No matter how hard we try, we are just chess pieces on this chessboard. We cannot become chess players. Meng Yuan, Han Kingdom,
Chu State, we can only surrender to one of these three parties. Now Meng Yuan is not good to us. But with Wu Nian's character and foreign attitude, cooperating with him is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger."
"Chu is too far away to take care of itself."
Having said this, Jin Tie smiled bitterly and said, "Master Marquis, you make your own decision."
Hauge glared at Jin Tie, "You said what you said but didn't say it. What should I do?"
After being in a dilemma for a long time, Hauge shook his head and said, "Don't worry about anything else for now. Let's talk about it after meeting Wu Nian's people."
After that, Hauge strode away from the city wall and returned to the Hou Mansion with Jin Tie. In the hall, he met Wu Nian's people.
In addition, he asked a group of his most trusted guards to surround the main hall tightly and guard it heavily.
Hauge sat on the main seat and looked at Wu Nian's people with burning eyes.
Jin Tie stood on Hauge's right, also examining Wu Nian's people.
The more they looked at each other, the more something was wrong. How could this guy look like a Mongolian?
The people of Wu Nian have pigtails on their heads, dark and shiny skin, big beards, stout and short bodies, and wear the clothes of the Mongolian Yuan people.
"You claim to be the envoy of the King of Han, do you have a token?" Hauge asked, his tone full of suspicion.
The man from Wu Nian is called Ma Yuan. He is a spy from the Imperial City Division. He is an authentic Han Chinese. He has only been active in the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasty all year round and spent a lot of hard work to become what he is now.
"Reply to Marquis Sushun. The villain has no tokens. Besides, if you are a thief, how can you put a token on your body?" Ma Yuan communicated with Hauge in Mongolian.
Immediately, Ma Yuan said calmly: "Please rest assured, Marquis Sushun. Although the Marquis has many conflicts with the Mongolian and Yuan court, it is impossible for the Mongolian and Yuan court to send people over, pretending to be envoys of the King of Han, to test the Marquis.
Be loyal. Isn’t this just looking for trouble?”
"If it really comes to this point, according to the Mongolian people's behavior, only a large army will come."
When Hauge and Jin Tie heard this, they were immediately relieved.
That's right too.
"Master Marquis, please forgive me for overstepping my bounds." Jin Tie clasped his fist at Hauge, and then asked Ma Yuandao directly: "This strong man, Sushun is quite far away from the Han Kingdom. How can you come here without anyone noticing?"
Sushun must have put in a lot of energy."
"The King of Han will not do useless work."
