Naturally, this behavior of the Huns made Liu Che very happy. He immediately seized the opportunity and issued an edict to inform the world: The Han and Huns are from the same clan, and the Xiongnu was preceded by Chunwei, the son of Jie. I am now ordered by heaven to be the king of the world.
, as the parents of the people, who can not save them?
On the one hand, it turned the Han-Hungarian War from a war between the two countries into a civil war; on the other hand, it also gave the expansion of the Han army a bright and shiny coat.
Nowadays, even the most anti-war people can no longer speak out anti-war words.
Because now the Han army is not only doing justice for heaven, uprooting the unjust and expelling the barbarians.
It is also a righteous act to save those brothers and sisters who are cruelly ruled by tyranny and tyranny and live in dire straits.
Therefore, the Han army's Northern Expedition was an upright and upright army of kings and an army of justice.
He is the savior of the world and the liberator who brings hope, life and freedom to all tribes in the vast grassland.
He also brought these poor people back into the merciful embrace of the Emperor of China, so that they could also enjoy the righteous deeds of the Emperor's grace.
Regardless of whether others believe it or not, Liu Che, his ministers, and generals all said: I am convinced.
However, this behavior of Liu Che and the Han Dynasty surprisingly did not arouse opposition from other parties involved, including the Northern Huns.
Both the Northern and Western Xiongnu acquiesced in the views of Liu Che and the Han Dynasty.
As for Xia Yi, he would introduce it to everyone he met: "I am a descendant of Xia Qi. After Chunwei, I am the son of Yu the Great. The emperor has granted the title of Chanyu of the Xiongnu to Yiyi..."
The only thing I missed was that I had not carved these six words on my forehead: My ancestor is Dayu!
As for why?
Xia Yi's behavior is easy to explain. There is nothing strange about spiritual Chinese people.
There are many such examples in the world before the Christian era and in the long two thousand years of history thereafter, not to mention that Xia Yi now completely relies on the support and support of the Han Dynasty.
The behavior of the Western Huns and Northern Huns is very interesting.
Liu Che naturally knew why they were like this?
The answer is simple, just leave a way out!
Liu Che killed the snake and followed it with a stick, and took advantage of the Huns' recognition that he was a descendant of Yu the Great to turn the Han-Hungarian war into a civil war.
For the Huns, especially the high-ranking Huns royal family.
This is actually an opportunity!
Think about it, if the war between Han and Hungary was a civil war.
So, in the end, if the Xiongnu were defeated, the Han army would be completely victorious.
As the victors, the Han Dynasty was unlikely to liquidate them.
Maybe even treat them with courtesy, confer titles on them, and give them land and wealth.
If he surrendered in time before defeat, he might still be able to gain the status of King Guiyi or Marquis of Anle.
And if there is a national war between Han and Hungarians...
As the victor, the Han army will most likely choose to eradicate the enemy.
The entire Xiongnu royal family and its nobles will all be uprooted.
If you were a Huns, how would you choose?
In particular, today's top leaders of the Northern Huns and Western Huns are basically from the Han Dynasty.
That's hard to say, but he is still Liu Che's Wusunhou!
As a result, the current painting style in Northeast Asia suddenly changed drastically six years after Yuande.
Originally, the two countries of Han and Hungary vowed to uproot the Xiongnu and eradicate them by shouting "Xianggong restores the vengeance of the ninth generation, and the spring and Autumn period will be great".
Even Yin Zhi's slanted head was hung up on the tower of Chang'an North Tower to enjoy the breeze.
The other one shouted, "Grab money, grain, women," and stared at them with eager eyes, dreaming of invading the Great Wall.
But when the battle of Yanji came to an end.
The Huns were convinced that even if they cheated, they would not be able to defeat the Han army.
So he chose to go far to the north of Mu. At the same time, the Western Xiongnu was established, the Guiyi Chanyu was canonized, and the Xiongnu was officially divided into three parts.
At this time, Han and Hun looked at each other, then quietly put down their weapons and shouted to each other: We were all a family five hundred years ago.
Such a funny painting style can only appear in Northeast Asia on the entire planet.
The resulting impact has undoubtedly changed the geopolitical and military structure of Northeast Asia.
When the national war turned into a civil war, the non-Hongnu tribes on the grassland all looked like they were dying.
Therefore, some tribes that were originally unwilling to recognize Xia Yi's status had to consider recognizing Guiyi Chanyu and recognizing that Guiyi Chanyu's master was Tian Chanyu.
Others had other thoughts.
These people feel paralyzed. You Huns and Han people have been fighting life and death for decades, and in the end, they are relatives!
Your uncle!
Labor and management will no longer play with you, labor and management must be independent!
Even in the Xiongnu headquarters, there was great chaos among the various clans.
Just to appease the clan, the northern Huns in Guli Lake even announced that they would take over China in the future and regain the throne of the emperor that belonged to the Huns.
Liu Che doesn't want to care about what the Northern Huns think, and he can't care about it now.
But in this southern region, he had to take care of it, and he had to take charge of it.
He took Xia Yi's hand and said to him: "After you return to the country, please hold a sacrificial ceremony for the late king of the Huns on my behalf!"
Liu Che clapped his hands, and a minister who had been standing on the left and right immediately stood in front of Xia Yi holding a silk book, opened it, and read out: "The emperor's edict, Chanyu Xia Yi accepts the edict!"
Xia Yi immediately knelt down, kowtowed three times and bowed nine times, and then paused and said: "I, Guiyi Shanyu, Xia Yi respectfully obeys the Holy Order!"
"I heard it, and the poem goes: Yi Di is a traitor, Jingshu is a punishment. The Xiongnu are the first, and the Xia Hou family is also.
The forerunner of the Xiongnu! Now that Jingshu has become the territory of China, why don’t you, the Huns, become your subjects? The ancestor of the Xiongnu, Mao Dun, was an old man who did not know the destiny, stubbornly resisted the king’s master, and disrespected the emperor of China. He was really guilty of a serious crime! However, I
Since I am the king of the world and the father and mother of the people, I pity him for living among the barbarians for a long time and do not know the etiquette, music and education. I will pardon the sins of Mao Dun and the old man!
Confess Maodun as the Chanyu of the Han Dynasty, the Wuyi Chanyu, and confer the elder Shang as the Chanyu of the Han Dynasty, the Chanyu of the Han Dynasty, and appoint him as the Chanyu of the Han Dynasty.
After the edict was read out, Xia Yi immediately bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty has given you a great favor. I would like to treat all the Huns and thank you for your kindness!"
Of course it's Ron!
And it is a great grace!
You think, Dragon City is now under the control of the Han Dynasty.
The tombs of several Xiongnu Chanyus such as Laoshang, Maodun and even Touman, as well as the tombs of their concubines, were already under the control of the Han Dynasty.
Under this circumstance, it is completely reasonable for the Han army to dig up graves, whip corpses, crush bones and scatter ashes.
Now, Liu Che pardoned the sins of these Xiongnu kings, and asked Xia Yi to offer sacrifices and tell the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth: These people are descendants of Yu. Please forgive them for the sake of King Yu and me.
With Liu Che's current status, this is almost like putting a protective talisman on the tombs and bones of these people.
It can also benefit Xia Yi endlessly, allowing him to borrow power from Mao Dun and Laoshang to stabilize and consolidate his position.
Xia Yi naturally knew this very well.
As for those insulting titles in the edict.
What is a meaningless Chanyu, an unjust Chanyu, etc., although it doesn’t sound good.
But it's better than having the bones pulled out, crushed and thrown into ashes.
And with this title, these two chanyus can also receive corresponding sacrifices and blood meals.
Speaking of which, Liu Che once imagined that after occupying Longcheng, he would instruct others to dig out the coffins of Maodun, Laoshang and others, crush the bones and scatter the ashes.
However, today's Han Dynasty no longer needs such low-key methods to promote their power and scare others.
Moreover, doing so today is not worth the gain.
Digging the graves of Moton and Laoshang was just a breath of relief.
But the price will be to anger the entire Xiongnu.
No matter what the reputation of Maodun and Laoshang is in China, on the grassland, the status of these two people is like that of Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty and Taizong of the Han Dynasty.
There are countless tribes who have received their favors and benefits.
Of course, if you just blindly please and win over the Huns, for example, give Laoshang and Maodun a more pleasing and pleasant title, and also provide courtesy, favor, and even treat them like Chinese emperors.
That’s nonsense!
Liu Che knew very well that nowadays, although Han and Huns both claim to each other: We are relatives!
But in fact, Han and Hungarians are two ethnic groups.
No matter culture, belief, system, diet, appearance or even genes, they are all different.
It is undoubtedly a dream to expect that gentle means can make them surrender!
Yi and Di have always been afraid of power and not virtuous.
To put it figuratively, you have to fight and pull before others will be convinced and truly recognize and respect you.
Just like now, on the one hand, I respected the status of Maodun and Laoshang and gave them certain preferential treatment. On the other hand, I slapped them in the face to let the Huns know that although I think we are relatives, so do you.
Bad relatives will not show mercy until they learn their lesson!
Just like now, wouldn't Xia Yi burst into tears of gratitude?
As for, what did the Northern Huns and Western Huns think after knowing this?
What does that have to do with Liu Che?
They didn't kneel down!
Perhaps, in two or three hundred years, when the Huns are completely integrated into China, future generations may redefine Moton and Laoshang's historical position.
But not now.
Now, the Xiongnu are the enemies of the Han Dynasty, and Maodun and Laoshang are also the Han Dynasty's great enemies!
The enemy must be ruthless, humiliated and attacked!
Xia Yi happily took Liu Che's edict and went home to prepare for his return to the country.
Looking at the guy's back, Liu Che smiled softly, and then asked: "Where is the Yan family that the Western Huns came to marry now?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is said that we have passed Gaoque and are on the way to Yunzhong..." The eunuch on the side reported quickly.
Liu Che nodded.
The Yan family sent by the Western Xiongnu this time is said to be as beautiful as a flower, with the posture of a sinking fish and a falling wild goose.
But it doesn't matter. What Liu Che is really concerned about is that when this Yan family married, she also brought Gaolan Mountain with her!
Yes, according to the agreement between Liu Che and the Western Huns, the Gaolan Mountain area should be handed over to the Han Dynasty at the same time as the Yan family was married!
Where is Gaolan Mountain?
Open the map and you can see it.
This is a strategic location guarding the choke point in and out of Hexi!
Historically, Huo Qubing once fought a bloody battle with the Xiongnu here. It is said that the battle was very fierce. At the end of the fight, the soldiers of the Han and Huns fought hand-to-hand, and the blood gathered into a river of blood, filling the entire canyon!
But now, in this strategically important place, China didn’t waste a single soldier, and the Huns even hooked up with a girl.
Is this deal worth it?
It's worth it for the Han Dynasty.
It’s also worth it for the Western Huns.
Only the Northern Xiongnu cursed loudly, saying that Qi Qu Qi Diao Nan had "abandoned the land of his ancestors, turned his face into a servile servant's knees, and sincerely is a slave of thieves!"
But Qi Qu Qi Diao Nan is very satisfied.
Because this area is only more than a hundred miles away, and it is not considered an economic lifeline or a place of life and death for the Western Huns. Now if the Han army wants to attack the Western Huns, even if Gaolan Mountain is a hundred times more dangerous, it will be in vain. Even Gaoque is
It was captured by the Han army. How could Gaolan Mountain, which had no strong city to rely on, withstand the Han army's offensive?
After this place was given to the Han Dynasty as a marriage gift, Liu Che promised to increase the supply of "Xiaoyaosan" and allowed the Western Xiongnu to trade with the Han Dynasty on the border.
This is undoubtedly a life-saving promise!
With this promise, the small regime of the Western Huns could finally breathe a sigh of relief, and they no longer had to worry about being beheaded in the middle of the night.
It should be pointed out that the Gaolan Mountain today is not the Gaolan Mountain of later generations.
Later Gaolan Mountain was located outside Lanzhou City in Ningxia.
Today's Gaolan Mountain is in Gansu Province, later known as Heli Mountain. It is about 1,300 meters above sea level. It is the choke point for China to enter and exit Hexi. In history, Zhang Qian was the first to cross the fortress.
This is the mountain where he was captured by the Huns.
After the Han Dynasty gained control of Gaolan Mountain, it extended its territory to the west of the river for two to three hundred miles, until it reached the vicinity of the historical Zhangye County.
A few hundred miles further, you can see the vast Juyanze.
This decision of the Western Xiongnu is of the same nature as the Wei State ceding the Hexi region to the Qin State during the Warring States Period.
In other words, in fact, the Han army has now obtained the ticket to control and slaughter the Hexi Corridor.
Liu Che had already made plans to build a city in the area, immigrate to the area, and at the same time seal off two clans and several princes to prepare for the future of Hexi.
As for Qiqu Qediaonan and his small regime of the Western Huns, let's just let him live freely for a few more years.
Anyway, Liu Che was not in a hurry to rescue his brother-in-law Yu Shan.
After thinking about it, Liu Che told his surroundings: "Pass on my order and send Zongzheng to Taiyuan to welcome the princess who is about to marry and grant her the title of Mrs. Anyi!"
"Send Da Honglu and Taichang Yousi to Gaolan Mountain to offer sacrifices to the mountain gods of Gaolan Mountain on my behalf..." Liu Che added.
Since Gaolan Mountain is already the territory of the Han Dynasty, it is natural to worship the local mountain gods according to tradition.
This is an ancient ritual and habit. Starting from the Three Kings and Five Emperors, worshiping the world's famous river Daze is the way for rulers to mark their territory.
"I don't know when I can worship Kunlun..." Liu Che let out a long sigh.
For an emperor, there is no doubt that the highest honor is to personally enshrine Mount Tai and worship Kunlun.
The purpose of worshiping Mount Tai is to show merit to heaven and earth, while worshiping Kunlun is to compete with the three kings and five emperors.
Legend has it that three kings and five emperors all once set foot in Kunlun.
Among myths, Kunlun Mountain also has the legend of the Queen Mother of the West.
If worshiping Mount Tai is a waste of money and people, then worshiping Kunlun is undoubtedly a symbol of Liu Che's declaration to the world that he has restored the authority of the Three Kings and Five Emperors!
It is also a symbol of the Han Dynasty becoming the world hegemon and dominating the earth!
