The first thousand two hundred and forty-fourth chapter, the violent military minister
When the meeting was adjourned, the military officials walked silently into the king's tent.Ω
Everyone knows that he is very unhappy!
Everyone served him cautiously and cautiously, for fear of offending him.
Only Qiequ Qiediao could not express himself easily.
After passing the "Xiaoyao San", he gradually controlled the Xiongnu shaman group and extended his hands to many nobles of the Makunan tribe. In recent months, he has been very proud of himself.
After the defeat of Gaoque, a large number of tribes that had been nomadic between the Hejian Land and the Hexi Corridor for a long time lost everything overnight.
Including pastures, livestock and a large number of young adults.
Everyone is panicked.
At times like this, religion has become a way of sustenance and escape for countless people.
Moreover, the shamans who are difficult to control have penetrated deeply into these people, providing them with comfort and solace, and at the same time taking away their hearts.
Dozens of small and medium-sized tribes are now completely controlled by him.
There are more than a dozen tribes, all of which are basically controlled by his people.
He controlled at least half of the thousand-mile grassland from Yin Mountain to Junji Mountain and Juyanze.
The funny thing is that no one in Shan Yuting knew about this.
The only person who had ever been wary of and interfered with him, Landosin, was now a corpse!
Is there anything more wonderful than this?
He is now like a poisonous snake staring at its prey and injecting venom into its body.
But the prey was so huge that it couldn't detect his movements!
Of course, Qi Qu Qie Diao is also very clear that most of his current status and power are obtained through Xiaoyao San.
Once Xiaoyaosan is gone, not to mention the shamans, even his cronies may tear him apart in madness.
Even he himself can't live without Xiaoyaosan...
As for Xiaoyaosan, there is only one source from the south, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty.
Only he can provide Xiaoyao San!
But the problem is that as Qiequ Qiediao becomes more and more powerful, more and more Xiaoyaosan are needed.
However, the emperor of the Han Dynasty was only willing to provide ten to less than twenty kilograms each time.
In the past, this amount was enough and could hardly be used for half a year.
but now……
Can't even last half a month!
In other words, he had to get Xiaoyaosan from the Han Dynasty every half month.
Otherwise, only destruction awaits him.
This cast a shadow over his great ideals and ambitions.
It even made him resentful and resentful towards the Emperor of Han Dynasty!
That's how people are. Back then, when he was just a dog of a military minister, what he thought about day and night was to get the military minister's favor. Even a kind and encouraging look was enough for him to die for the military minister.
But then, he discovered that betrayal can actually gain more power and wealth than loyalty.
So he betrayed the military officials and the Huns without hesitation, and chose to sit on the wall between the Han and the Huns.
And as his power grew, he was no longer satisfied with his status as a dog shared by the Xiongnu Chanyu and the Han emperor.
He wants to be a human being, and a person who can decide his own destiny and that of others.
This is troublesome.
This meant that he would betray both the Xiongnu Chanyu and the Han emperor.
The consequences of betraying the Xiongnu Chanyu are very clear.
Once caught, he would be put on the execution stake alive and skinned and cramped bit by bit.
But he has already embarked on this path.
No matter what, he has no way out.
As for betraying the Han emperor?
It is difficult to see the price for the time being.
He even believed that as long as his acting skills were good enough, he should be able to deceive the Emperor of the Han Dynasty.
It was with this idea, encouraged by ambition and stimulated by Xiaoyaosan, that he never provided any valuable information to the Han Dynasty from the Battle of Gaoque to the present.
And the result seemed to be just as he expected.
The people of the Han Dynasty had no idea what was going on. They continued to supply him with Xiaoyaosan, and also conducted several large transactions with him through the market at the border.
This makes Qi Qu Qi Diao Nan feel proud.
After all, he is a humble person.
But now he is playing with the two most powerful empires in the world. Is there anything that can stimulate him more than this?
When I think of this, Qi Qu Qi Diao Nan becomes even more proud.
He bowed slightly and said with a smile to the military officials: "Da Shan Yu Shengming, all the tribal leaders have sincerely surrendered to your command..."
As he spoke, he took out a piece of sheepskin full of handprints and presented it to the military officials. He knelt down and kowtowed and said, "These are the chiefs and leaders of the thirty-two tribes in Munan, entrusted to their slaves and handed over to the Great Chanyu."
Allegiance proves that these tribes swear to be loyal to the great Chanyu forever!"
Naturally, these tribes are actually very difficult to control.
If another Chinese hero or even a local official were here, the situation would immediately change.
But do the Huns have such a keen sense of smell?
The military minister did not quite understand the meaning of this. When he heard this, he immediately became happy. He took the sheepskin and looked at the handprints pressed with blood on the sheepskin. He was extremely satisfied!
He was very happy to help Qiequ Qiediao Nan and said: "Okay! Good! Good!"
He really desperately needs the support of the Makunan clan.
Because in terms of population ratio, the population of the tribes in the Munan area is much higher than that in the Mubei area.
Even today, after the Battle of Gaoque and the Makunan clan suffered heavy losses, their population still occupies a huge advantage over Makubei.
After all, in the past few decades, most Huns would choose to come to Munan to graze and spend the winter.
"Who are these tribes?" the military minister asked, pulling him back.
"Reporting to the great Chanyu, these are the Helan tribe, Chunyu tribe..." Qiqu Qediaonan said the names of several tribes in succession.
As the military officials listened, their expressions gradually fell.
Because there are no names of the large tribes and sub-tribes in Munan.
In particular, the Outuo tribe and the Xiutu tribe are not among them.
Since the Hunxie tribe surrendered to the Han Dynasty, these two tribes have become the largest tribes of the Xiongnu in the Munan region besides the main tribe.
Among them, the Outuo tribe was even split from the Xiongnu proper and belonged to another tribe.
However, neither tribe left their loyalty on this sheepskin!
As for the headquarters of King Yougu Li of Yishi and his supporters, none of them can be seen!
"King Outuo, King Xiutu and King Youguli, have you gone to find them?" the military minister asked, barely holding back the anger in his heart.
Qi Qu Qie Diao Nan was smiling in his heart, but he still had a hesitant look on his face. It took him a long time to say: "I didn't dare to hide it from the great chanyu. I went to find it... but... but...
…”
He raised his head and looked at the appearance of the military minister, and found that the other minister was so angry that his eyebrows were raised, and then he said: "Both King Outuo and King Xiutu said... they need to think about it... As for King Youguli... slave
I haven’t even seen him face to face…”
As soon as this sentence came out, the military officials immediately became furious! (To be continued.) 8
