61. Any idea is a good idea when it first comes up
"Ketuo, how are the tribes gathering? Are they ready? Our shaman has already observed the situation. In three days, there will be a period of pretty good weather, which is very suitable for sending troops to fight. We can't delay it."
In the Jie people's royal court camp, the leader of the Jie people, Shi Kele, gave serious instructions to his number one general, Ke Tuo, who stood respectfully in front of him. However, there is a shaman who can calculate weather changes and seems to be very accurate.
, even if this level of ability does not reach the level of daily law deduction, it can still be regarded as a monster on the grassland. The Jie people can also be called hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
"Yes, Chief. But the general doesn't understand why the king is so anxious to compete with the Han people this time. Although we lost more than a thousand people against them, it was indeed a big defeat for us.
, but that’s why we shouldn’t be so hasty. Moreover, our losses this winter are not small. If the losses are too large due to this battle, those damn Huns may ride on our heads again. We
But it took a lot of effort to get to where we are now.”
Ketu looked at the great chief in front of him, and his heart was full of doubts. Of course, he was not questioning his great chief's decision, because in his opinion, the great chief in front of him took over the chief's decision from his grandfather.
From that day on, he has been carefully managing the Jie tribe. At the same time, he has used the complex relationship between the Han, Xianbei and the Huns to liberate the Jie tribes step by step from the enslavement of the Huns. As a result, the Jie people have
Today's prosperity.
Of course, as mentioned before, for the grassland peoples, the significance of tribe is far greater than that of nation. Just like the powerful people in the Han Dynasty, they first care about family interests and then consider the rise and fall of the country. Therefore, Shi Kele became a
In the process of being the leader of each tribe of the Jie tribe and leading the Jie tribe's rebellion, once he encounters the need to sacrifice part of his interests in exchange for richer interests, his priority in sacrificing will definitely not be himself and the tribes with affiliated and in-law relationships.
Over time, tribes that had a lot of benefits or hoped to gain would naturally unite around him, and some Jie tribes who were also dissatisfied with this came to oppose him. However, as Shi Kele won step by step, he and those who were attached to him
The tribe is getting stronger and stronger, so the voices of opposition naturally become less and less confident.
As Ketuo, who has fought beside the great chief Shi Kele for many years, is naturally very aware of Shi Kele's behavior and habits. At the same time, as he grows older and has the opportunity to participate in the internal affairs of the Jie clan, he is also very aware of the internal and external environment of the Jie clan, so he
I wonder why the chief Shi Kele, who has always acted cautiously, suddenly reacted so violently and uncharacteristically.
You must know that even though the old man's temper has become much more stubborn than in his early years due to his many years of high position and successful career, his mind is still very clear, and there were no mistakes in his past decisions. Why did he do this this time...
"Haha, Ketuo, you are still so outspoken. But that's okay. At least with my current status, I am really lucky to have a guy like you by my side. But don't worry, I am not an old fool. This
This time there was a last resort."
After all, Ketuo was the confidant general he had trained, and he was also the minister of Tuogu whom he planned to leave to his heir, so Shi Kele did not show the slightest displeasure with Ketuo's forthrightness.
"What kind of emergency situation forced us to take such a big move? Chief, you have to bow to the Huns for this. After all, we are going to attack the city where the Han officials are, and that clan member will be a big man.
It’s troublesome.”
"Haha, I'm so happy. Our 'wild horse' Ketuo can now use his brain. It seems that the future of our Jie clan will be better. Ketuo, you have to keep working hard and give me more surprises.
ah."
Hearing Ketuo's guess, Shi Kele did not admit or refute, but laughed and praised Ketuo. This made Ketuo, who had always been brave, feel a little embarrassed at this moment. After all, he was praised by someone he admired.
It's a compliment.
"You're right, I did promise generous rewards to the Huns, but it doesn't hurt to shed a little blood this time, because this time I have reliable news that the old guy Shi Le plans to unite with the newly appointed Han
The official overthrew me, the great chief."
"Ah, that bastard dared to do this. Who did he think he was? He is such an ungrateful fellow. Chief, please allow me to lead our soldiers and lay the heads of the world at your feet."
Hearing the news, Ketuo seemed very excited. After all, in his opinion, Shi Kele was the god given to the Jie people by God and a gift from God to revive the Jie people. The chief who opposed him was going against God, so naturally these ungrateful guys
We must attack them. Yes, we must attack them and let them know how powerful the Jie clan's royal court is.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, don't be so impulsive. Don't use our precious soldiers in meaningless places."
"But, that is a rebellion. I want them to know that those who dare to violate the chief will only have one fate, and that is death!"
Seeing that Ketuo still looked angry, Shi Kele shook his head slightly. Although the guy in front of him was commendable for his loyalty and had indeed begun to use his brain to think about problems, he was still too easily carried away by anger.
Then Shi Kele had to lament that compared to the Han people, the people on the grasslands still have too few people who know how to think due to their living environment. It seems that he can gradually lead the Jie people to glory even if he uses his brain a little bit.
It is far from the glory of their ancestors, the Yuezhi people, but it should be comparable to the Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty.
It's a pity that none of his sons has such a mind, and there is no one with such talents around him to rely on. It is easy to give birth to a shaman with outstanding abilities, but he is limited to analyzing the weather, and doing internal and external tasks.
In terms of handling, he is not even as good as the experienced Ketuo. But even so, he has been targeted by those greedy Huns. I don't know how long he can hide it, and whether he can persist until the day he fully matures.
Woolen cloth?
"I told you not to be so anxious. Let me ask you, did Shi Le's tribe rebel? Did he no longer obey my orders? Did he lead troops to attack us? He refused to surrender to the tombs of our Jie people's ancestors.
Have you presented the sacrificial animals?”
Although his thoughts drifted to far away places for a while, Shi Kele still did not forget to continue to mention his beloved general. After all, compared to those illusory things, he is the support for the continuation of the Jie people.
Because of the hardship of survival, the grassland people are more accustomed to the benefits that can be seen before them, so they are greedy because their sense of crisis is too strong. Because of this, instead of expecting a genius to be born among the Jie people tribe who can lead the people
, it is better to cultivate a talent who can make the tribe transition smoothly. Although it seems short-sighted, it is realistic enough.
"No." Ketu thought for a moment and replied with a blush. He already knew a little bit about what the great chief meant.
"Yes, not at all, so once I show my butcher knife to him, our Jie clan will face division. I can't start this precedent no matter what. For this reason, I would rather hand it over to the Huns. Of course, the premise is
They were able to survive the battle with the Han people. If he dares to be lazy and do nothing, I would like to know if my clan's law enforcement sword is still sharp enough."
"The great chief's wisdom is indeed beyond our imagination."
"Haha, I want to see what the old guy's expression would be like when facing the Han people who colluded with him."
The laughter from King Jie’s tent echoed in the Jie tribe for a long time...
But compared to Jieren and Lishi, who were scheming against each other, a very inconspicuous team was performing another side of the bloody grassland.
"Teacher, why do we have to return to the tribe? Is it because our performance is not good enough, or is it because the teacher hates us? Please tell me, teacher, and we will work hard to correct it. Okay~ We must listen to the teacher.
"
This is a team that doesn’t attract much attention, but it is also a very special team.
It is said to be inconspicuous because there is no huge convoy in this team, only two large carriages and some escorting cavalry galloping back and forth around it, as if a small tribe is migrating. No, even judging from the amount of supplies
It's even worse, after all, those tribes that can survive on the grasslands must have a lot of livestock.
It is said that he is very special, because whenever the guarding cavalry cast their eyes on the two protected carts, there are only two emotions, one is the look of hope for the future, and the other is the look of hope.
The reverent gaze of the ancestors of their own tribe. But when they withdrew their gaze, they would inevitably patrol more seriously.
"It's not that the teacher doesn't like you, but because there is going to be a war in Lishi City. You are all children, and you are not natives of Lishi. You should not be affected by the war, so I will send you back to the tribe and wait until the war subsides.
You can still come back to study. When the war subsides, the teacher will be waiting for you in school. If any of you dare not come, the teacher will be angry."
It turns out that these people are the children sent by Xihe Karasuma to Lishi City to study Han culture and their principal, Yan Zhong.
The reason why these children were sent back was because of Li Shushi's suggestion. According to his words: If Yan Zhong wrote a personal letter and sent people to the Karasuma tribe, I don't know if those barbarians would understand Yan Zhong's imitation.
It’s Zhang Zhi’s cursive script, but even if you can understand it (but the possibility is almost 0 - by Li Shushi), you will inevitably encounter difficulties from some people in the Karasuma tribe.
As for Yan Zhong going there in person, it feels like the price has dropped somewhat, and the old man can't wipe away his old face. So, a qualified excuse or step comes into being. Maybe a great scholar like Yan Zhong can get some unexpected gains in Karasuma
Maybe, after all, Yan Zhong was born in the Xiliang area where Hu and Han were mixed.
The fact is that Li Shushi's guess was indeed correct. If nothing else, the morale of the Karasuma soldiers doubled when they learned that Yan Zhong personally escorted the Karasuma boys away, and each of them looked high-spirited as if to express "I want to..."
If you want to hurt Teacher Yan and our children, you have to step over us first.”
Therefore, it is a truth that has been established since ancient times.
p.s. My condition is still bad today, hey... maybe I have entered a low point... I have always had a blurry feeling when looking at the screen in the past two days. Keep at it, although I don't know how long I can stick to it...
