Just when Yi Shi was pretending to be angry on the surface, but actually he was extremely happy inside.
Yishi's mortal enemy, King Hu Lushe of Zuo Guli, suddenly stood up, walked to the field, bowed to the military minister Shanyu, caressing his chest, and said: "Dad Shanyu, I got news that that traitor betrayed the great
The Xiongnu knelt down to the Han people and even wrote to the Han emperor, calling him 'Tian Chanyu'!"
As soon as Hu Lushe finished speaking, the whole tent immediately exploded.
No matter how much the nobles in the tent looked down upon him, they looked down upon Qie Zhi and his Hujie tribe.
However, no matter what, he is the Youxian King who was professed by the Chan Yu and was recognized by all tribes at the Tellurin Conference, one of the Four Pillars of the Huns, and the leader of the Tokugawa tribe!
His surrender dealt a fatal blow to the hegemony of the Hun Empire!
Especially under the current circumstances, the whole of Munan may be unstable because of this!
You know, on the grasslands, the Huns accounted for less than 40% of the population.
More than 60% of the rest are from non-Xiongnu tribes.
It's not that the Xiongnu didn't want the population of their own tribe to occupy the main population of the grassland.
In fact, in the past years, as long as the Xiongnu was willing, he could have all the tribes in the grassland join the Xiongnu, thus completing the nominal unification of the nomads.
At that time, the old Shanyu had a brilliant and bold plan to make such a reform.
But no matter what, except for the old master Shanyu himself, almost everyone else disagreed.
After all, if the people who lead the bow are really one family and are all Xiongnu, then who will the Xiongnu enslave and exploit?
Therefore, even at that time, the old Shanyu used both soft and hard tactics, and used all possible means of coercion and inducement.
However, the opponents are still like crucian carp crossing the river.
Even other tribes of the Huns continued to protest.
Countless people threatened that if the old Shanyu did that, they would definitely make big news.
For the sake of the stability of the empire, Shanyu had to give up that plan.
Even though he knew very well that only in that way could the Huns truly have a future.
After the death of the old Shangyu, naturally no one mentioned this matter again.
All Xiongnu clans lay down on the bodies of other nomads to suck the blood with peace of mind. Even the herdsmen of their own tribe had to break the bones and suck the marrow!
Now, Qi Zhi's defection will immediately cause an uproar among the entire Mu Nan tribe.
Those tribes full of hatred and dissatisfaction with the Huns will immediately gather under Qie Zhi's banner.
However, the consequences of surrendering to the Han Dynasty were more than that.
Even the Huns themselves will be seriously affected.
Especially the lower class herdsmen and slaves may be unstable.
The military official clenched his fists angrily and gritted his teeth. Even though he had already known the news, he was still furious when he heard it again.
Even in the eyes of the military officials, the gains and losses in the Hejian Land and the loss of troops in Huyan Dangtu are no longer important.
The important thing is to kill him first and completely eliminate him and his tribe.
Otherwise, there will be big trouble!
The Xiongnu will be divided, and the grassland tribes will fall into a long and cruel attack.
But now, that bastard is being protected by the Han Dynasty people.
In fact, before defeating the Han army, the Huns could not harm Qie Zhi, and the Han army was too powerful and even invincible for the current Huns cavalry.
Therefore, this leads to a paradox: the Xiongnu's top priority is to kill and eliminate Qiezhi and his tribe, but to eliminate Qiezhi and his tribe, they need to defeat the Han army first, but the Xiongnu cannot defeat the Han army.
This made the military officials extremely angry, but they had to find a way to solve it first.
The other nobles, on the other hand, jumped up with great anger and cursed.
For them, the loss of Gaoque and the loss of the Riverlands were not as good as Qi Zhi's surrender, which would be more harmful to the Xiongnu.
Throwing away Gaoque and the Riverlands is just throwing away a piece of fertile land.
In fact, the damage to the Xiongnu was relatively limited, and it only affected the security of Munan and the Hexi Corridor.
However, the Hexi Corridor has high mountains, dense canyons, dangerous terrain, and rugged roads.
Unless the Han Dynasty people could fly, the Hexi Corridor would be enough to slow down the Han Dynasty army.
As for the Makunan clan?
To be honest, if you can't beat him, just run away. No one will laugh at you on the grassland.
This is not something to be embarrassed about.
For nomads, moving from Munan to Mubei is a common thing.
In the past thousands of years of history, countless generations of their ancestors have traveled this migration path millions of times.
Many people are already used to it.
The worst case scenario is that Munan will be temporarily abandoned to the Han Dynasty.
This is not something that has never happened before.
Back then, when the Qin Dynasty was strong, all tribes, including the Xiongnu, Donghu and Yuezhi, abandoned Munan and moved to Mubei.
At that time, the Huns were weak and poor, with few livestock, so their life was naturally very difficult, but they survived.
Now, the Huns have all the Western Regions, and they can also replenish their blood and resources through the Western Expeditions.
To be fair, it is not impossible to give up Munan.
Anyway, the Han Dynasty was a farming nation. It was impossible and incapable for them to farm on the vast grasslands!
However, after the defection, the entire strategic situation completely changed.
The people of the Han Dynasty had a puppet, a thug, and a spokesperson.
This allowed the Han Dynasty to control and rule the grasslands.
In this way, once the Xiongnu abandoned Munan, Qiezhi, his tribe, and those slaves who might seek refuge with Qiezhi, would immediately fill the vacuum left by the Xiongnu's withdrawal, and quickly become stronger.
On the grasslands, this has always been the case.
The pasture you don't want will soon be occupied by others. They will fill the gap left by you at a speed you can't imagine, and then develop and grow. By the time you find out, the other party will be too big to lose.
What's even more frightening is that these people, unlike the people of the Han Dynasty, are intimidated by the vast sea and dare not move forward.
On the contrary, they were no different from the Huns. They knew how to cross the vast sea, how to find food and water sources, and how to identify the direction.
If this happens, the trouble will be big.
Originally, abandoning Munan was just to consume and waste the strength of the Han Dynasty people, so that the Xiongnu could gain safety and time to recuperate and develop.
However, now that the Han Dynasty had Qie Zhi as a puppet, it was completely possible to establish an order controlled by Qie Zhi in Munan.
When it stabilizes, he will definitely lead the Han army across the vast sea to the north of the curtain.
Abandon Hejian this year, abandon Munan next year, and what should we abandon the year after that?
Makuhoku?
If Mubei is lost again, the Xiongnu will have no choice but to move westward to survive in such small areas as the countries in the Western Regions.
Moreover, it was impossible for the Han Dynasty not to pursue him.
In the end, will the Xiongnu, like the Yuezhi people, flee thousands of miles away, leaving their hometown and grassland to go to a distant world?
This is an unacceptable result for any current Xiongnu noble!
But on the other hand, many nobles were shaken in their hearts.
This is also the chain reaction that Qi Zhi's betrayal will inevitably bring.
After all, King Youxian surrendered, so there seems to be nothing wrong with us surrendering too?!
Of course, no one would say it.
However, many people were moved by it in their hearts, especially the Mu Nan nobles.
"I don't know how long Shan Yuting can last..." Many people are thinking in their hearts: "We have to consider the survival of the clan..."
For nomads, the survival of the clan or tribe is the ultimate and most urgent issue.
In order to survive, they will do anything!
Seeing this scene, even Yishi, who had just had ulterior motives and wanted to make big news, panicked.
Qi Zhi's betrayal finally let him know that the Hun Empire was on the cliff and might be shattered to pieces at any time.
What he wanted was the position of Chanyu in the Xiongnu Empire, not a Chanyu who was torn into pieces and driven as a slave.
So, he quietly put away the thoughts in his heart.
At least, until the Xiongnu has overcome the crisis, he will not cause trouble again.
"Da Shanyu..." The general on the right, Xubu Hunan of the Xubu clan, came out to caress his chest and said: "Why don't we send an envoy to the Han Dynasty to talk to the Han Dynasty people? If the Han Dynasty is willing to hand over the
, how about we, the great Xiongnu, recognize the Han Dynasty’s occupation of the Hejian Land?”
Naturally, this suggestion can only be made by the ministers, not by Shan Yu himself or the royal family of the Luotang clan.
Otherwise, the Chanyu will be considered weak.
And Xubu Hunan's status was enough to propose such a thing without worrying about being criticized.
The powerful cavalry of the Xubu clan is enough to shut up those who dare to chirp.
After Xu Bu complained, Hu Shelu also said: "Great Chanyu, I think what the right general said is very good..."
This is indeed the best choice for the Huns at present.
Take a river land that no longer belongs to you in exchange for Qi Zhi's life that threatens your own life and death.
This deal is a great deal!
If the people of the Han Dynasty agree, then they can cut off the hand of the Han Dynasty reaching out to the grassland, and let all the tribes know that this is the fate of surrendering to the Han Dynasty!
Let others, from now on, consider when surrendering: The Han Dynasty has a record of betraying those who surrender!
In the future Han-Hungarian war, it will give the Huns a certain advantage.
Even if the Han Dynasty did not agree, the Xiongnu would not lose anything, right?
Moreover, through peace talks and envoy exchanges, the Xiongnu could adjust their deployment and strategy, expand their armies, prepare for war, and train their troops, thus gaining precious time.
The military minister listened and pretended to be hesitant and said: "However, the Han Dynasty betrayed its trust, tore up the peace treaty, and blatantly took away our Hejian land. This Shanyu did not seek revenge from the Han Dynasty, but he still had to compromise with the Han Dynasty.
, This is really hard for me to accept!"
"Please consider the overall situation!"
"Please consider the overall situation!" Many nobles responded in agreement. Most of these people were leaders of the Tokugawa clan. But there were also leaders of the Tokugawa clan.
After all, as a nation and country, the Xiongnu were ignorant and backward as a whole.
But the nobles at the top level all have certain vision and knowledge.
They all know what is the top priority for the Xiongnu now?
"But the Han Dynasty, in all likelihood, will not agree..." The military officials continued to hesitate.
As a Chanyu, he must maintain a tough attitude towards foreign affairs and must not be weak. Especially when it comes to important Huns lands like the Hejian Land, he must not leave anything to say to others.
Otherwise, maybe one day the Xiongnu would suffer another loss in front of the Han Dynasty, and the angry Xiongnu soldiers might launch a coup themselves and chop off his head.
"Da Chanyu, we don't need the Han Dynasty people to really agree..." Xubu Hunan said: "We just want to confuse and delay the Han Dynasty people, so as to get rid of them and buy time!"
Xu Buhu said: "My slave, I have already made a plan. Once the Han Dynasty refuses to hand over Qi Zhi, my slave will immediately launch a plan to assassinate Qi Zhi from within the Han Dynasty!"
Hearing what Xubu Hunan said, the military officials followed the donkey down the slope and said: "In that case, I will leave this matter to the right general!"
Anyway, no matter what, this matter has nothing to do with him being a single.
However, seeing this moment, several Xiongnu nobles who came from the era of Lao Shanyu felt a little disheartened, and even felt desolate.
When the old Shanyu was in power, he was talented and strategic. He never used conspiracy and tricks, and he never looked forward and backward like this.
He always issued orders decisively and clearly, requiring the tribes to obey.
On the other hand, today's Chanyu wants to avoid suspicion even if this is a strategy for the Xiongnu himself, and shirks the responsibility and consequences to his ministers. He is afraid that he will get into trouble and become the target of others.
Old Shangyun Yu Ruoquan is probably rolling in his grave if he knows this!
In fact, he couldn't even compare to the dead Yin Zhixie.
At least Yin Zhixie would not be like the military officials. At this time, he was still worrying about his reputation and status.
If the Xiongnu were not facing a crisis now, these nobles would even have the idea of replacing them with a Chanyu.
But the military minister was unaware of this. He even felt that he had done a very good job, perfectly maintaining his reputation and prestige, and even getting a solution to the problem.
Therefore, he said triumphantly: "Everyone, let's discuss again, how should Landasin be dealt with?"
Landasin was deceived by him into Shan Yu's court, and he should have been killed immediately.
However, due to the intercession of Xubu Hunan and Hu Shelu and others, Landasin got a chance to have a public trial and defend himself.
"Bring the sinner Landosin to me, the Chanyu!" the military minister ordered to the left and right.
Immediately, there were warriors dragging Lan Tuosin, who was tied up with five flowers, to the big tent.
The leaders and nobles of the tribes all focused their attention on Landosin.
For the Huns, in their history, fathers killed their sons, and sons killed their fathers.
As for other things like brothers fighting each other, uncles and nephews fighting each other, etc., they are even more difficult to count.
Rebellions and coups by ministers and nobles occurred almost once or twice every year.
However, it was unprecedented for a nobleman to lead troops into Dragon City, force the Mulan clan to death, and kill a respected elder of the clan.
Countless people are paying attention to the outcome of this matter.
