Liu Che has always believed that in this world, regardless of age, the essence of interactions between countries is to dig holes for each other.
The quality of this digging technology can even directly determine the rise or fall of a country.
For example, the later Emperor Mi Di dug a big hole for Mao Zi, and then Mao Zi passed away.
Later, Da Mao, who inherited Mao Zi's family business, spent many years in the pit before finally turning around thanks to oil prices.
Of course, if you are not good at studying, you will be tricked instead of digging a hole. There are many such things.
For example, at the end of the Warring States Period, the Koreans tried their best to dig a hole for Qin.
The name of this pit is Zheng Guoqu.
Then, Qin jumped in without hesitation, and then the six countries were swept away...
And all pitfalls, regardless of success or failure, almost have one thing in common.
That is, at least the other party must be willing to jump into the hole you dug.
After that, it is time to test whether he is the one who jumps into the pit or the one who digs it.
There is no doubt that the Huns are eager to try the hole Liu Che has dug for the Huns. If there are no exceptions, they will definitely jump in without hesitation.
Then……
Liu Che lowered his head and smiled, looking at Xu Bu Diao Nan who looked as excited as him.
At this moment, Liu Che seemed to see wars raging across the entire Western Region. Countless small [Changfeng Kingdoms] were destroyed under the hooves of the Huns. Countless nations were heading for destruction, but more people took up arms to fight and resist the Huns.
.
"Wherever there is oppression, there is resistance!" Liu Che muttered to himself.
In the stereotyped impression of ordinary people, the countries in the Western Regions seem to be small, insignificant countries with few soldiers and weak countries, which are vulnerable to attack.
However, history told Liu Che.
Even an ant pile may contain man-eating ants!
What’s more, the vast country in the Western Regions?
Apart from other things, Dawan, which was founded by the descendants of Alexander's Eastern Expedition, brought disgrace to the once powerful Han army!
As for Wusun, he is the overlord of the Western Regions. Although he is not as powerful as the Xiongnu, rabbits can bite people when they are anxious. What's more, Wusun is also a bad wolf?
In other more distant countries, there is the Parthian Empire that can compete with Rome, the overlord of Europe!
The Huns are strong, but they are not Long Aotian either. Once their bastard spirit is shaken, they can make all the countries in the Western Regions willingly act like bulls and horses.
Thinking like this, Liu Che couldn't help but look forward to it.
In history, the Spanish and Portuguese colonists committed murders and arson in the Americas. All the silver they worked so hard to rob ended up flowing into China.
What Liu Che wants to create now is almost a similar situation.
Use silk, rhubarb, etc. as bait to allow the Huns to explore the Western Regions.
In order to make the Huns exploit the countries in the Western Regions even more fiercely, thoroughly and without a bottom line.
Liu Che can even give the Huns some sweet spots in the future.
For example, a large amount of raisins, sesames, pomegranates and even peppers from India are imported from the Western Regions.
Then, do you think the Huns, who have an absolutely powerful position, will trade fairly with the countries in the Western Regions like ants?
Liu Che could guess with his buttocks that the Huns would definitely use excuses such as tribute, protection fees, and other similar excuses to demand from the countries in the Western Regions.
Just like they did to the Han Dynasty.
As for the reward?
The protection of the Great Huns is free of charge?
Maybe in the beginning, the trade scale is not large, and the countries in the Western Regions may not feel much about it.
But Liu Che believed that in a few years, as the scale of trade expands, the countries and nations in the Western Regions will usher in a period of extremely dark and terrifying years.
Such darkness and terror will continue until the Han Dynasty army, the army of justice, arrives...
Then, the script of the story is naturally that the countries in the Western Regions eat pots of jelly to welcome the king's master!
As for how many people will die and how many national civilizations will perish during this, it has nothing to do with Liu Che.
For Liu Che, this was a hidden move. If it worked well, it could completely disrupt the Huns' control of the Western Regions, and at the same time, it could also use the Huns' hands to erase some thorns.
For example, what is Dawan?
Maybe by then the Han Dynasty will enter the Western Regions and even more distant countries as liberators.
Thinking of Dawan, Liu Che secretly said it was a pity.
Dawan’s bloody horse is the best horse among horses.
However, the sweaty BMW is too delicate!
It is not suitable to be used as the standard equipment of cavalry. On the contrary, the Wusun horse bred by the Wusun people later became the main horse breed of the Han army's cavalry.
…………
When Liu Che was in YY, he was in trouble, but he was also very happy.
Originally, this mission was just a routine visit, and I came to the Han Dynasty for a vacation and a delicious meal.
At the same time, I would like to remind the Han Dynasty that the gift in return should not be too thin!
But Xu Bu Diao Nan never imagined that such a good thing as pie in the sky would happen!
To be honest, most of the tributes that the countries in the Western Regions paid to Shan Yuting every year, such as black sesame, sweet apples, pomegranates, etc., were piled in tents to get moldy.
The Huns prefer to eat delicacies from the Han Dynasty and appreciate the silk of the Han Dynasty.
For the countries in the Western Regions, Shan Yuting's policy has always been a fetter.
As long as those small countries could be obedient to Shan Yuting and provide women with money and silk on time, the Huns would not pay much attention to them.
But Xu Bu Diao could not have imagined that the prince of the Han Dynasty was very interested in those things that the Huns did not like, and was willing to exchange them for silk. Not only that, but also with pepper and rhubarb.
Sichuan peppercorns and the like are just condiments and have little impact.
But that rhubarb…
Xu Bu Diao Nan can only be described as a divine object!
Xu Bu Diao Nan was already looking forward to the scene after he returned home with Dahuang.
Shanyu Longyan’s great joy is inevitable!
It is almost certain that his status will be further improved in front of Shan Yu!
He even used this to surpass his brother and become the next clan leader!
Thinking this way, the more Xu Bu Diao Nan looked at Liu Che, the happier he became, and his attitude suddenly became extremely intimate.
As for the Wusun people and the things the Wusun people were forced to hand over, Liu Che and Xu Bu Diao Nan had forgotten it intentionally or unintentionally.
…………………………
Unable to say goodbye to Xu Bu Diao, Liu Che walked out of the side hall.
It was still very early, and the court ceremony outside Xuanshi Hall had not yet started.
Liu Che decided to explain it to the emperor's father first.
So he led the people towards the palace where his father was.
On the way, Liu Che waved to an attendant who had been working as an interpreter and asked, "May I ask your name?"
The attendant knelt down with great joy and replied: "My little minister Yang Yi pays homage to my master!"
Liu Che smiled slightly, nodded, and said to him: "Yang Aiqing, I just have Lao Aiqing!"
"It is my duty to serve my family!" Yang Yi said happily.
There are countless petty officials like him in the palace, and he is not the only one who understands Xiongnu dialect.
Probably because the Xiongnu were a big country, the Han Dynasty had a tradition of cultivating some low-level officials who understood the Xiongnu language over the years.
Therefore, Yang Yi knew very well that now was his chance!
An opportunity to embrace the golden thigh, embark on the smooth road of life, marry a noble lady, and become a big shot!
Of course he knew that he should hold on tightly!
Liu Che chuckled and said: "Very good, Yang Aiqing, can I trust you?"
Yang Yi immediately kowtowed and said categorically: "Although I am vulgar, I still know that I am loyal to you. If there is an order from my family, I will not hesitate to die!"
"Good!" Liu Che laughed: "Then I will give Aiqing a task to keep an eye on those Huns. If the blue-eyed Huns are alone or appear alone in a certain place, you can quietly go over and invite him to meet Gu.
one sight!"
Liu Che looked at him and asked, "Do you understand?"
"No!" Yang Yi kowtowed.
Wusun, now Liu Che will definitely not be able to break up his close alliance with the Xiongnu.
However, it would be good to set a nail in advance and get in touch with the Wusun people!
God knows when, this connection will play a vital role! (To be continued...)
