The first thousand three hundred and thirty-two sections must be settled first
The requirements for Qi Qu Qi Diao Di Difficulty can be summed up in three points.
The first point is to ask Liu Che to recognize Yu Shan's status.
The second point is to ask for assistance from the Han Dynasty, especially weapons, food, salt, etc.
The third point is to ask Liu Che to give more Xiaoyaosan.
Except for the third point, which can be discussed, other conditions are simply impossible in Liu Che's eyes.
Especially the first point.
You are a traitor and traitor, but you still want to be recognized? Just dream!
Thinking about the French Revolution, how did the great powers encircle and suppress it? How were several anti-French alliances established?
Later, how did Prussia help the French to destroy the Paris Commune?
Regarding the rebels, Liu Che would rather be injured than he would definitely exterminate them.
In fact, in the future, we might not be able to borrow troops to help suppress the Xiongnu in the name of supporting them!
Of course, we still have to maintain it now.
"Notify Yunzhong County... to triple the supply of Xiaoyaosan to Qiequ Qiediao..." Liu Che ordered.
Since Qi Qu Qi Diao Nan had made the request, Liu Che naturally couldn't refuse them all and just kept a line in his work so that we could meet each other in the future...
After all, this so-called 'General Zuo' is still Liu Che's minister.
And he is also Wusun Hou, who has an urban area of 10,000 households...
Of course, Liu Che has never fulfilled this promise. I believe that the other party also knows about this, so he wants to make big news to protect himself.
But after all, you still have to paralyze the opponent.
As for whether Qiqu Qiediao will rise in the future?
A bunch of drug addicts, what a shame!
Let them be cool for a while.
Therefore, Liu Che was also generous for once.
"As for other questions..." Liu Che said with a smile: "It is very difficult to ask Yunzhong to reply: food, salt, and weapons can all be given, but money must be given!"
"Gold, gems, silver, copper ingots, furs, livestock, all hard currencies can be converted into five baht coins or five gold coins..."
Even if it was difficult, Liu Che felt that he would definitely not be able to do it.
Even if he could block the Huns' counterattack, he could not block the Han army's attack.
In this case, it is natural not to give money in vain to do good deeds.
Moreover, imperialism has always been like this.
Thinking about the twenty-one items and the large loan for the aftermath, Liu Che felt that he had been very kind.
"No!" Ji An immediately accepted the order and left.
Unknowingly, even a gentleman like Ji An gradually evolves into a qualified imperialist bureaucrat.
What is an imperialist bureaucracy?
Of course, other people’s children will never die...
…………………………
At this time, on the Qilian Mountains, the canal was difficult to carve. I stretched my neck and looked to the east.
Before the coup, it was difficult for Qi Qu to do anything. As long as he controlled Yudan and the Qilian Mountains, and with the help of the Zhelan people, the Hexi area was easily accessible. The army could even attack the Junji Mountains and cut off the Huns' interference channels.
But now, he realized that he was too naive.
He also began to understand why the Zhelan, Baiyang, Xiutu and other tribes helped him.
The answer is simple. The Hexi region has fallen into famine.
Last winter, a battle at Gaoque not only caused the Xiongnu to lose the land between the rivers, but also caused the Hexi tribe to lose an important grazing land.
All tribes suffered heavy losses.
A large number of livestock and people were lost in the war.
As a result, before they could recover, the military officials launched a large-scale invasion southward, which made the Hexi tribe even worse economically.
Although the military officials only transferred more than 100,000 livestock and more than 10,000 slaves from Hexi.
But it was this move that caused the entire tribe in Hexi to fall into famine.
In the Hexi Corridor, with the Qilian Mountains and Gaolan Mountains as the base points, Juyanze and large and small oases as the core, there are two million people living.
But now the number of livestock that can sustain their food supply is less than one million.
At least a third of them are male.
Stallions, bulls, rams, etc. are useless on the grassland.
Except for some strong individuals who will be raised as stallions, the rest will end up being slaughtered for meat after being raised.
Only mares, cows and ewes are the foundation of nomads.
In other words, now, the two million people in the entire Hexi region can only rely on the cheese of no more than 600,000 to 700,000 livestock to sustain their lives.
On average, each person can only get a small piece of cheese per day.
The hungry tribal herdsmen have even begun to dig up grass roots and search for jam in the forest to satisfy their hunger.
Some people even began to wade into the water to catch fish to fill their stomachs.
Precisely because it is midsummer now, the scale of the famine can still be controlled.
At most, a few slaves would starve to death.
However, summer has gradually come to an end and autumn is approaching.
Autumn on the grasslands, especially in Hexi, is very short.
Usually, the first snowfall will come in early August.
By that time, everything will be dead and the world will be filled with ice and snow.
Without food, the herdsmen and tribal cavalry will definitely rebel!
Originally, when the Xiongnu Empire was strong and powerful, they would definitely go south to rob the Han Dynasty if they encountered such a situation.
but now……
If the Han Dynasty did not come to rob the Xiongnu, it would have been Amitabha.
He had no choice but to focus on his enemies outside and within Hexi.
Fight to support war, rely on plunder to get rich.
However, if you want to fight, you must not be without food, let alone weapons!
His only hope now is the Han Dynasty.
If the people of the Han Dynasty could not agree to give him food and weapons, then no matter how good Xiaoyaosan was, and Qu Qidiaonan knew that those nobles would chop off his head and then kneel in front of Yudan and beg for forgiveness.
"The great General Zuo, who has been slaughtering every day, Xuli has returned..." A shaman came to Qequ Qediaonan and knelt down to worship.
Despite the difficulties, the successful attack on the Qilian Mountains relied on the strength of the shamans.
It was these shamans who were controlled by Xiaoyao San who worked hard to contact and deceive the nobles for him. It was impossible for him to do this.
Naturally, after he came to power, he reciprocated the kindness of the shamans.
Now, in addition to being a general of the left, he also claims to pursue luxury.
Ri Zhu means son of the sun god, and Tu She means wise.
Together they form the wise Sun King.
Externally, Qiequ Qiediaonan claimed that he was the son of the Sun God, the reincarnation of the three-legged Golden Crow, and the angel who came to save the Huns.
In order to strengthen the control over various tribes, Qi Qediaonan also canonized a large number of shaman priests.
For example, the old priest of the Zhelan tribe and the highly respected priest Xiuli was canonized as Kejili by him.
Kejili is a totem god in the shamanistic belief. According to legend, he is the guardian of the bird body.
The other shamans have also been canonized.
Either in the name of the totem god, or in the name of the retinue of the god.
And he, the son of the sun god, ruled and governed them as the god-king.
Generally speaking, compared with the chaotic belief system of the Xiongnu in the past, Qiequqiediao has made a completely new arrangement and sorting out, making it more systematic and convincing, especially for the slaves and herdsmen below.
This is what Diao Nan does, so I believe it more and follow it blindly.
Even among the Qiang people in the mountainous areas, many people now begin to believe in this trick that is hard to come by.
Some tribesmen even came out to seek blessings from Qiqu Qiudiao.
"Kejili is back..." Qiqu Qediaonan said quickly: "Please come quickly!"
Now, Zhelan Cavalry is his biggest trump card.
Although the Zhelan people were defeated miserably in Mayi three years ago, after three years of recuperation, their vitality has now recovered a lot.
Although it has not yet returned to its heyday where he could control tens of thousands of men, he still has 6,000 cavalry to drive and escort him.
Without the defection of the Zhelan people, it would have been impossible for him to conquer the Qilian Mountains, let alone control Yudan.
"The great Zhuri Tushe..." An old shaman held a stick decorated with bird feathers, walked up to Qiqu Qiediao Nan, and worshiped: "Xiuli sends my regards to you..."
"What's going on over there at Gaolan Mountain?" Qiqu Qediaonan asked impatiently.
Gaolan Mountain, on the edge of the Hexi Corridor, is the only way to the Hejian Land. It is also a barrier for Juyanze, and it is also an important channel that can connect with the Han Dynasty.
"In return for the great Zhuri Tushe, the certificate of credence, I have given it to the Han Dynasty..." The old shaman named Xiuli said: "However, I can't guarantee whether the people of the Han Dynasty will agree...
…”
But in his heart, the old shaman had other ideas.
Is it difficult to channel and carve?
If he doesn't control Xiaoyaosan, who cares about him?
But now, the old shaman knows where the magic medicine Xiaoyao Powder, also known as Wangyou Powder, comes from.
Han Dynasty!
In other words, if you can get in touch with the people of the Han Dynasty, then you can get out of trouble!
However, for the time being, this guy still needs to stand in front, attract firepower, and wait and see the situation.
"They will agree..." Qiqu Qediao could not close his eyes and said, "Because there is what the Han Dynasty needs most..."
Having dealt with the Han Dynasty for so long, and even communicated with the emperor of the Han Dynasty face to face, Qi Qu Qediaonan certainly knew, what do the people of the Han Dynasty need now?
slave!
Whether it was a male slave, a female slave, or a small slave, the people of the Han Dynasty needed them all!
Moreover, no matter how much there was, the Han Dynasty people could swallow it all!
Especially those merchants on the border have a surprisingly big appetite!
Qi Qediao could not be confident that as long as he provided more than 100,000 slaves, the Han Dynasty people would definitely agree to his request.
At least, they would agree to exchange slaves for food!
With food, we can at least get through the current crisis without having to be kicked around in the head.
As for other things, let’s consider them later!
Because, and it is hard to know, I am afraid that it will not be long before the military officials know what they have done.
Once the military official finds out, he will definitely go crazy!
He will definitely come to settle accounts with himself at all costs.
If he wanted to withstand the revenge of the military officials or other twins, he had to beg for mercy from the Han Dynasty people.
Now, Qi Qu is in dire straits and can only pray that the Han Dynasty people are willing to help him.
…………………………
What is difficult to do is naturally a big news on the grassland.
The spread of drastic changes like this anywhere is astonishing.
Within seven or eight days, the news reached the military logistics base outside Yanshan through word of mouth and urgent reports from messengers.
This place is located deep in the Xilingol Grassland, at least five hundred miles away from the Han Dynasty frontier fortress.
The two twin nobles who were responsible for guarding these livestock for the military ministers immediately became panicked after learning about this incident.
"How dare you, this slave, dare to do such a thing!"
"asshole!"
Qilian Mountain is the sacred mountain of the Xiongnu.
Yu Shan, the Xian king of Zuo, is the only son of Shan Yu today.
But now, Qiqu Qiediao is unable to break through the Qilian Mountains and holds Yu Shan hostage. In the eyes of every Jingtang clan, it is blasphemy and insult to the entire Xiongnu!
"I have to pull out this slave's skin, stick his head on a wooden stake, and pour mercury into it!" A middle-aged nobleman yelled, and he couldn't help but want to immediately mobilize all his troops to annihilate him.
He has a difficult impulse.
The Qilian Mountains and Yudan were more important than anything else to the Huns.
Especially Qilian Mountain!
You know, the Xiongnu Chanyu claimed to support the plowing of Gutu.
The term plow is connected with the Qilian Mountains.
Just like China's traditional jade seal, Qilian Mountain is the Heshi Bi of the Huns!
Even more important than Heshibi!
At that time, the Xiongnu and the Yuezhi people fought for twenty or thirty years to compete for Hexi. It took two generations to capture Hexi and completely control the Qilian Mountains.
Now, all these efforts have been destroyed by difficulties.
As a result, in the eyes of the Xiongnu nobles who learned of this incident, the status of the Han Dynasty actually declined.
Qiqu Qediaonan and the guys who followed him to do such treacherous things became the number one enemies of the Huns.
Not only here, but also in the Western Region and Mubei, a large number of tribes are gathering troops.
But most of these people have ulterior motives.
After all, everyone with a discerning eye now knows that the decline of the Xiongnu is inevitable.
All kinds of rumors began to appear on the grassland.
Many powerful factions that were once suppressed and intimidated by the Xiongnu are now ready to take action and wait and see the situation.
Therefore, these people are all using the name of crusade against the enemy, but in fact they are trying to support themselves with troops, or even separatist forces to establish themselves on their own.
The Huns were naturally very aware of this situation.
Back then, when Maodun Danyu defeated the Donghu, the ones who caused the biggest trouble to the Huns were not the Donghu people, but the various independent grass-head kings who established themselves after the collapse of the Donghu order.
It took Maodun the Great Chanyu three years to subdue these guys and make them obey.
The rise of the Yuezhi people is also related to this.
Therefore, after learning about this, the two twins calmed down and made a decision immediately.
"We must notify the Great Chanyu and King Zuogu Li immediately!"
"The Great Huns can't continue like this!"
Before fighting against foreigners, you must first settle down at home! Although the Huns may not have this awareness, as the overlords of the grasslands, they know very well what choices are truly beneficial.
Compared to the war with the Han Dynasty.
Insiders are even more terrifying! (To be continued.) 8
