The first thousand four hundred and twenty-sixth section of the Karasuma family
Han Xu's death didn't even cause a stir. He wasn't even qualified to have his name recorded in the annals of history.
After decades of diplomacy between the Han and Huns, only three Huns envoys were qualified to leave their names in the annals of history.
The first one is Xie Yuqian. This person can be named because when he was on an envoy, the Han and Hungarian monarchs recognized each other.
The second one is Yin Zhixie.
Needless to say, the first Xiongnu royal family to send envoys to Chang'an is of great significance.
Thirdly, it is difficult to solve the problem. The reason why he can keep his name is because he has done great things and stabbed the Huns in the back.
As for Han Xu?
In a few years, all traces of his existence in this world will be blown away by the wind.
However, his death also had some effects at this time.
At least, it frightened the Western Huns' mission.
Therefore, when the envoy from the ‘Western Huns’ came to Xuanshi Hall the next day, almost everyone was trembling with fear.
"My lord, Yu Shanyu, greets the Emperor of the Han Dynasty..." The envoy of the Western Xiongnu spoke in broken Chinese, kneeling on the ground, not even daring to raise his head.
At the same time, the credential of the Western Huns was also placed in front of Liu Che.
Unlike the Huns in the past, and even yesterday's Northern Huns credential, the Western Huns, or Qiqu Qediaonan, probably wanted to emphasize their differences from the Northern Huns.
Therefore, this national book did not use wooden tablets, but learned from the Han Dynasty and used silk script as the material.
The thin silk book feels quite light in your hand.
After opening the certificate of credence and looking at it twice, Liu Che laughed and asked, "What do you want, your lord?"
This letter of credence is full of disgusting words.
For example, the drafter (probably Qie Qu Qie Di Di), on behalf of Yu Shan, first respectfully greeted Liu Che, the 'brother emperor', and then said coquettishly, 'My sister [Xia Yanzhi] lived in Chang'an.
How is it? My brother misses his sister and niece very much. He also talked about the current situation of the princess who promised to be sent to Chang'an when the military officials were still alive.
At this point, he changed the topic and said that he was willing to use Gaolan Mountain as a dowry to send the Yan family to the Han Dynasty, and asked Liu Che for permission.
In fact, this is just a roundabout way to cede land to girls and pay compensation at the same time.
I just don't dare to be so straightforward because of my face.
For Liu Che, he had almost forgotten that before the Battle of Gaoque, the peace treaty between Han and Huns had long been torn up.
At this moment, when the Huns mentioned it again, he remembered that he seemed to have a girl living outside.
Moreover, it is said that this girl is even more beautiful and graceful than Xia Yanzhi.
But the problem is that even a three-year-old child knows that being courteous for nothing is either adultery or theft.
The Western Huns, or Qi Qu Qi Diao Di Nan, could it be that they were shocked by Liu Che's bastard spirit and immediately cried out to give away their girls and land?
It's time to have a plan.
"My lord only asks that your majesty, for the sake of the friendly past between our two countries, allow our country to continue trade with your country at the border..." The envoy replied respectfully: "In addition, my lord also wants to plead.
Your Majesty sends officers and craftsmen to guide our country..."
"My lord is willing to pay the employment expenses of your Majesty's officers and craftsmen with gold, slaves, and livestock..."
When Liu Che heard this, he immediately understood what the difficult idea was.
This is to cling to his thigh, even to the point of signing a treaty such as the "Twenty-one Articles" of BC. In layman's terms, this is called borrowing teachers to assist in suppression.
You think, as long as Liu Che agrees to his conditions.
Then wouldn't he and his small Western Huns regime be able to sit back and relax?
How dare those scumbags from the Northern Xiongnu who were scared out of their wits by the Han army have the guts to attack the Western Xiongnu who have the backing of the Han Dynasty?
Of course, when the officers and craftsmen of the Han Dynasty arrived in Hexi, they would naturally let the tentacles of the Han Dynasty extend in and influence and penetrate the various departments of the Western Xiongnu.
But the problem is that in this pre-Century era, one, two, or dozens of officers counted as nothing?
How many people can you influence and win over?
If a country can be controlled by dispatching officer corps and craftsmen, then Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty married Princess Wencheng to Songtsen Gampo and brought countless craftsmen, books and officials. As a result, Tubo became stronger and became the Tang Empire's most powerful force among the Turks.
The biggest enemy after that.
Nowadays, it is normal.
Without garrisons and bases, don't dream of controlling and manipulating other countries or nations.
As the saying goes, the truth is only within the range of the crossbow.
Therefore, Liu Che thought for a while and then said without hesitation: "I can agree to develop two border markets, but... dispatching officers and craftsmen is non-negotiable, unless your lord is willing to send me 10,000 infantry and cavalry.
, stationed in the Qilian Mountains!"
If 10,000 troops are stationed in the Qilian Mountains, it means that the Han Dynasty has completely grasped the weakness of the Western Huns.
Even, maybe, if there is a chance to play the Western Xiongnu version of the "Belt Edict", Liu Che is also Yu Shan's brother-in-law.
My brother-in-law was kidnapped, and my brother-in-law sent troops to rescue him. It was only natural!
only……
Jiqu Jidiao is difficult, probably because he doesn’t have the courage.
If he wants to agree to this condition, he might as well go to Chang'an and kneel before Liu Che, profess his vassal status and pay tribute, no matter what, he is also the Wusun Marquis of the Han Dynasty, a top nobleman with 10,000 households in the city.
Xiantu Hexi, relying on this merit, it is not too much for Liu Che to give him the title of Shanyu.
It's a pity that people are always greedy.
Especially since Qiqu Qediaonan has now tasted the taste of power, how can he be a puppet and a wealthy aristocrat with peace of mind?
If he hadn't been pinched by Liu Che, maybe he might have counterattacked?
Didn’t you see that after the Battle of Yanji ended last year, envoys from Qiqu Qiediao were traveling between the Western Regions and Hexi.
However, he did not reach an agreement with Julihu, so he had no choice but to come to Liu Che.
It's not difficult to guess his mentality.
It's nothing more than a plan to practice ninja magic, maintain independence on the one hand, and develop strength on the other.
However, without the mushroom suppression, today's international situation would be very strange.
How can it be difficult to imagine being a tortoise?
It is impossible for Liu Che to agree!
Therefore, he did not give the Western Huns a chance to think about it, and said directly: "Before April in the summer, I want to see the princess and Gaolan Mountain, otherwise, I will take it from myself!"
Seeing Liu Che's attitude, the Western Huns envoy recalled what they heard about the tragic end of the Northern Huns envoy's envoy yesterday. They were so frightened that they could only bow their heads.
The situation of the Western Huns, who had no choice but to face difficulties, was very bad.
They lacked food, metal, cloth, tea, and salt.
What's even more troublesome is that we are faced with enemies on both sides, especially the Han garrison in Yulinsai, who are sharpening their swords and becoming aggressive.
The garrison stationed in the local area is thinking about making big news and provoking a war all day long so that they can get promoted and make a fortune.
If Liu Che hadn't banned them from going more than a hundred miles out of Yinshan Mountain, these guys would have even dared to go directly to Gaolan Mountain to catch the autumn wind.
What's even more troublesome is that the various tribes of the Northern Huns also shouted to fight and kill them.
As long as there is an opportunity, the Northern Huns will never give up the opportunity to regain their rule in the Hexi region.
Moreover, within the Hexi region, there are still people who are inclined to or loyal to Shan Yuting.
In this case, the Western Huns simply could not afford to offend or anger the Han Dynasty!
…………………………………………
The Qilian Mountains in winter are covered with snow and the scenery is breathtakingly beautiful.
A beautiful woman led a horse and walked down the hillside.
The nearby herdsmen and Hun cavalry knelt down one after another, touched their foreheads to the ground, and respectfully said: "Good luck to the Karasuma family!"
Among these people kneeling on the ground, there were even shamans and high-ranking nobles.
There is no way, this woman is now an unsolvable bug in the entire Western Huns.
Even if General Zuo saw her, he would not dare to offend her.
Who told her that her future husband was the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, the legendary God-Emperor?
The Xiongnu believed in shamanism and respected blood.
From this, the Jingtang clan naturally had the authority to rule the grassland.
Even if it is difficult to split the Xiongnu Empire, in the current Western Huns, he has to continue to push Yu Shan in the front. It is just an excuse that he is "young" and he has to bear "responsibility".
The authority to command all ministries.
Moreover, the current political structures of the Western Huns and the Northern Huns are exactly the same.
They are all tribal alliances, and they are all political powers under the leadership of the Jingtang clan, with the Lan clan, Huyan clan, and Xubu clan as auxiliaries.
No matter how hard Qiqu Qediao tries his best to expand and establish the authority of his own Qiequ clan.
Nowadays, the actual power of the Western Xiongnu is still governed by the four major clans, including the Jingtang clan, and other tribes.
Qie Qu Qie Diao Nan only borrowed Yu Shan's authority and authority and had the power with the support of several powerful factions such as the Zhelan tribe.
Therefore, to put it bluntly, in fact, what Qi Qu Qi Diao can really control and master is the territory near Qilian Mountain and Rouge Mountain.
Outside of these core groups under his control, the tribes in other places, as well as the Yueshi and Qiang people in the mountains of Hexi, would not listen to him at all.
On the contrary, this young girl who was named the "Karasumalan clan" by the military officials and was once prepared to marry into the Han Dynasty had a high reputation and great authority among the tribes in Hexi.
Even among the Northern Huns, there are countless people who respect and fear her.
The reason is very simple. Everyone knows that the Karasuma clan is destined to be the wife of the God Emperor of the Han Dynasty.
Who dares not to respect? Who dares not to fear?
Aren't you afraid that when the Han army comes over, the beloved concubine of the God Emperor will blow some pillow wind and make the whole family feel happy?
The lower-class herdsmen and slaves of various tribes regard her as the projection of the will of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty on the grassland.
Who dares to blaspheme? Who dares to disrespect?
Aren't you afraid that the God-Emperor will be angry and cause glaciers to burst, plagues to run rampant, and diseases to plague you?
The Karasuma clan is not used to such treatment.
After all, she was only a sixteen-year-old girl. Three years ago, before she reached the age of fourteen, she was selected by the military officials as the Yan family to be sent to the Han Dynasty for marriage.
The reason for choosing her is simple because the emperor of the Han Dynasty specified that he wanted a Yan family with blood from the Western Regions.
And her mother happens to be from the Loulan Kingdom in the Western Regions.
Moreover, her appearance is the most beautiful among the many girls of the Xiongnu royal family.
This decision changed her destiny from then on.
In order to prevent the Yan family who was sent to the Han Dynasty from doing something that might make the Han Dynasty emperor furious before she got married, the military officials ordered four strong women to follow her at every step. No one was allowed within ten steps of her.
Any man appears.
When Qiequ Qiediao launched a rebellion and took possession of Hexi, her treatment not only did not decline.
On the contrary, a rising tide lifts all boats because even in difficult situations, they regard her as a possible escape route and a treasure for survival.
Not only did he maintain all her treatment, but he also ordered to send one of the few Chinese scholars among the Western Huns to teach her reading, calligraphy and various Han Dynasty etiquette.
So that in the future, after this Yan family gets married, he can help him talk to the emperor of the Han Dynasty and say good things.
He even hoped that this girl would become his Xi Tzu.
It would be best to be able to charm the Emperor of the Han Dynasty as well as that King Wu Fu Chai.
It's just a pity...
Moreover, it is difficult for Qu Qiediao to forget that this Wu Wanlan clan is actually a twin clan, and she and Yu Shan are siblings.
Now, with the help of her transcendent status (the sister of Yu Shanyu and the concubine of the emperor of the Han Dynasty), the Wuwanlan family whose Chinese name is Xia Lan has gathered a large number of supporters throughout the Western Huns. Although, Xia
Lan himself may not have meant this.
But, other people will automatically think this way.
So far, the number of supporters and tribes gathered around Xia Lan has exceeded 10,000! Among them are nobles from large tribes such as Zhelan, Xiutu, and Ruotian!
The number of potential supporters and advocates among each tribe is even more difficult to count.
Some tribal shamans even sang praises for her. The main idea was: the great Yan family was beautiful and noble. She walked among the Qilian Mountains with the blessings of the gods. When the goshawk saw it, it stopped on her shoulder, and the white wolf
I met her and knelt down in front of her. She was so noble and kind. The God-Emperor of the Han Dynasty also traveled thousands of miles to ask to marry her...
Once this song came out, it became instantly popular.
Until now, even the guards who are in trouble can sing it.
Therefore, in fact, in the eyes of Qie Qu Qie Diao Nan, she has gone from a rare commodity to a hot potato.
You can't kill, you can't kill, you can't imprison, you can't.
You can't even scold.
Even if it was difficult, there was nothing she could do.
We had no choice but to send this scourge to Chang'an and deliver it to the Emperor of the Han Dynasty.
For Qiequ Qediaonan, the only good news is probably that his image in front of the Karasuma Yan family is pretty good.
The Karasuma clan has always been quite respectful to him.
Standing on a mountain, looking at the Wu Wanlan family in white fur, Qi Qu Qi Diao Nan was worried: "I wonder how the mission is doing in Chang'an?"
Since launching the rebellion, Qi Qu Qing Diao has understood how threatening his situation is.
With enemies on all sides, he could only hug one thigh first.
That bastard in Juli Lake refused to recognize his status, so he had no choice but to go to the Han Dynasty to embrace his status.
But the problem is that he doesn't have many bargaining chips with the Han Dynasty. On the contrary, his life is in the hands of the Han Dynasty emperor.
Without Xiaoyaosan, his empire and power would collapse immediately.
This Karasuma Yanshi Xialan is the biggest card in his hand in front of the Han Dynasty!
"The Yan family is so beautiful. If the emperor of the Han Dynasty got it, he would be overjoyed..." He took a deep look at that graceful figure, burying his inner desires and impulses deeply, and he could not stop thinking.
