One thousand four hundred and ninety-two deep sea 2
In the evening, Yang Zheng returned to his small nest at the foot of Tianshan Mountain.
This is a typical small Seoul city built to imitate the towns of the Han Dynasty.
It has a typical Han architectural style, and even the roads and shops are almost copied from the Han style.
This is a small town specially built by the Huns in order to win over Han people like Yangtang.
Here, they can live like they live in China, and even drink tea, taste wine and even read like Chinese nobles.
The Huns worked hard to build study rooms in these houses and put many books there.
Of course, they are all very common books.
For example, The Analects of Confucius, Shangshu, The Book of Songs, and Spring and Autumn Period.
If you want any other books, they are gone.
This year, the Huns sent people to Dragon City, and spent countless efforts and efforts to obtain several sets of Legalist works and a incomplete version of "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu.
Shanyu Gulihu got it, regarded it as a treasure, and placed it on his bedside. It is said that no one except Gulihu can touch these books.
Yang Ye walked into his study, waved away the few maids from the Western Regions who were arranged to serve him by the Huns, but were actually spying on him. Then, he picked up an Analects of Confucius on the bookshelf and lay on the bed to read it.
After watching for a while, Yang Ye stood up, squinted his eyes, glanced at the sneaky Western woman at the door, and sneered at the corner of his mouth.
He had to admit that the Huns now had become very skilled at how to win over and win over the Han people.
Beauty, gold, status, whatever you want will be given to you!
Just like the women given to him, every one of them was carefully selected and trained from the countries in the Western Regions. No matter their figure, appearance or personality, they were completely in line with the aesthetics and hobbies of Chinese scholar-bureaucrats.
Yang Ye even heard that there was a down-and-out scholar who fled to the Huns after the Battle of Mayi in the fourth year of Yuande in Juli Lake.
It is said that this person was born in the Lu Confucian sect, but he has always been unsuccessful and could not even pass the examination.
After wasting several years in Chang'an and gaining nothing, he decided to flee to the Huns.
This man had been among the Xiongnu for several years, but could not make his mark. It was not until the Battle of Yanji that the Xiongnu suffered a disastrous defeat, and a large number of Han people who were originally among the Xiongnu fled back to China.
And even such a scumbag scholar who couldn't even pass the examination in China was very prosperous in the Xiongnu.
And because he has the good qualities of Longyang, in order to win over him, Gouli Lake actually asked King Loulan to offer three beautiful men for him to play with.
As for high-level intellectuals like him who were among the elites in the Han Dynasty, it can only be said that they have arrived in heaven, but if they ask for anything, they can get almost everything.
If he wants a woman, he can choose beauties from the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions, and even Daxia and Kangju.
Even if he fell in love with Shan Yu's concubine, King Zuo Xian's woman, she was still willing to part with him!
Hu Lushe, King Zuo Xian, once told him personally - My woman, sir, no matter who he likes, can take it away!
If you want money and power, that's even better.
Hu Lushe once promised him that as long as he helps him wholeheartedly, he will be crowned king!
Such generous and cost-effective wooing made many scholar-bureaucrats and literati who fled to the Huns burst into tears with gratitude and swore allegiance to the Huns.
Many people even worked hard for the strength and review of the Huns.
pity……
"How can I, who is dressed in Zhu Xia's clothes, abandon my ancestral temple for a mere woman and money?" Yang Ye said in his heart.
What's more, the emperor treats him well, and by entrusting him with such an important task, he will naturally not let down the emperor's trust and trust.
Yang Ye deliberately held the Analects in his hands, walked to the door, and opened it.
The woman, like a frightened deer, hid immediately.
Yang Ming was too lazy to pay attention to him. He held the book, walked to his yard, sat on a swing and continued reading. While reading, he recited loudly: "The Master said: Learning without thinking is a waste of time. If you think about it, you will lose sight of it."
If you don’t learn, you will be in danger..."
He read this passage seven times in a row.
It seems that he is very proud of and likes these remarks of Confucius.
But in a corner that no one noticed or noticed, a short slave wearing a fur suit and an ugly face was dragging a broom while forcibly writing down these sentences and the number of times Yang Gang had recited them in his mind.
An hour later, this information fell into the hands of a Hun noble.
This person casually handed these contents to one of his cronies.
Three days later, a piece of information written on sheepskin was sent to a tribe deep in Junji Mountain.
An agent of the Xiuyi Guard who was lurking here obtained this information.
He immediately opened the Analects and a small book he carried with him, first found the source of these words in the Analects, and then translated them against the words in the book. After a while, a piece of information about the trends and strategies of the Xiongnu high-level officials appeared.
In front of his eyes - the Xiongnu had made all preparations for the western expedition. The Chanyu sent thirteen tribes and 70,000 horses to march westward!
When the secret agent saw these words, he immediately paid attention to them and said to his left and right: "Immediately send the letter with flying pigeons and inform Yulinsai!"
…………………………………………
The Huns had indeed made all preparations for the Western Expedition.
At the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, around the sacred mountain of the Wusun people in the past, the Xiongnu assembled all the mobile forces it could now muster and mobilize.
The total is 10,000 cavalry from thirteen tribes, 70,000 cavalry!
This number was naturally not worth mentioning during the Xiongnu's heyday.
But now, it is the last bits of the wife book and the coffin book that the Huns pieced together with all their efforts.
The disastrous defeat at the Battle of Yanji and the subsequent betrayal caused the Xiongnu Empire to lose half of its land, one-third of its population, and two-thirds of its livestock.
Especially the young men in our headquarters were almost all lost in the war.
This is because Julihu and Hulushe escaped quickly and stopped their losses in time.
Otherwise, the Huns might not even be able to assemble such a small number of troops.
Even so, in order to piece together such a large army, the Huns tried almost every method.
In order to form an army of this size, the Huns even allowed for the first time non-headquarters cavalry to exceed the number of headquartered cavalry.
As a result, they made an exception and gave the status of Huns to more than 10,000 prisoners of war in Kangju, Daxia and Dawan.
They were allowed to be "naturalized" to serve the Xiongnu loyally and fight.
This trick was learned by the Xiongnu from the Han Dynasty.
very useful!
Those prisoners of war in Dawan, Kangju, Daxia and the slaves in the Western Regions learned that they could actually have the opportunity to become a noble Huns and fight for the Great Chanyu. They all burst into tears of gratitude and vowed to die for the Huns.
Of course, the Huns did not admit that this was copied from the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, they gave the naturalization system a new name and called it "enhancement".
In addition, in order to prepare enough weapons and food supplies for this army.
In the past five months, the Huns had been selling iron and steel, trying every means to produce and manufacture weapons. At the same time, they did not hesitate to use a large number of slaves to purchase large quantities of ordnance from Han merchants in Longcheng in Munan.
In just two months, the Huns sold more than 80,000 male and female slaves to merchants in Longcheng, in exchange for the tens of thousands of weapons and weapons they lost in the battles of Mayi, Gaoque and Yanji.
One hundred thousand arrows.
Through these methods, the Huns finally made preparations for the western expedition before winter.
This western expedition was personally led and directed by the Shanyu of Gulihu, while the royal court in the northern part of the country, as well as the remaining armies and tribes, were all entrusted to the jurisdiction and command of Zuoxian King Hu Lushe.
From this point of view, the top leaders of the Xiongnu, at least for now, are still united and close.
Chanyu Gulihu has stated publicly and privately many times that he will never pass on the throne of Chanyu to his son, but will definitely pass it on to King Zuoxian Hu Lushe. Even if Hulushe dies, the throne of Chanyu will remain.
He also belongs to the descendants of Hu Lushe.
His mission was to revitalize and unite the various Xiongnu tribes.
Lead the Great Huns to revive and restore their homeland!
I have to admit that these actions and behaviors in Juli Lake greatly united the various tribes of the Huns.
The Huns were never even more united than they are today.
The relationship between Chan Yu and King Zuo Xian was even more intimate.
Hu Lushe can even veto the decisions and orders of Gouli Lake!
In Juli Lake, even major events such as the preparations for the Western Expedition were fully entrusted to Hu Lushe, who was under unified command and planning.
Hu Lushe did his duty conscientiously without any shirk or complaint.
Such high-level Xiongnu officials were obviously not in line with the interests of the Han Dynasty.
Walking in the noisy Xiongnu tribe, countless thoughts came to Yang Ming's heart.
"If a fly doesn't bite a seamless egg, I won't believe that the Huns can be truly selfless..." Duke Zhou was still afraid of rumors, so the Huns must not always be so united.
"I'll just wait for the end of the Western Expedition and the point where the conflict between the Huns breaks out..." With this thought in mind, Yang Ye devoted himself to his work.
On the surface, he is almost a perfect decision-maker for the Huns.
He put forward various suggestions and ideas, and then implemented them among various Xiongnu ministries, improving and perfecting the Xiongnu organization.
But quietly, he has quietly planted time bombs in these tribes.
For example, he initiated the system of ‘exaltation’.
It seems that it has solved the problem of insufficient troops and combat effectiveness for the Xiongnu, greatly relieving the pressure.
But in fact, it opened the door to hell.
The Xiongnu headquarters suffered heavy losses and their population declined in the previous wars with the Han Dynasty.
Once these slaves from the Western Regions, Kangju people, and Daxia people began to occupy positions among the Xiongnu tribe, it would be a moment of turmoil.
Yang Ye didn't believe it. These foreigners who were not the Huns would be of the same mind as the Huns?
Even if someone wants to do this, he will do everything possible to provoke him.
When he was in Chang'an, he had already received relevant targeted training.
