Six hundred and forty-sixth chapter Huns messenger - Yi Zhixie (2)
Sitting on the throne in Xuanshi Hall, Liu Che half-closed his eyes and waited.
Under the imperial steps, all the princes and princes were sitting.
Even many elders who had retired to work at home appeared in the palace dragging their broken bodies.
Everyone is full of energy and has high morale.
What is going to happen today is really so depressing!
The Huns actually sent King Yougu Li as an envoy to Chang'an, which was unprecedented.
Many people rummaged through piles of old papers, but only found the story of King Youqu entering Xianyang during the reign of King Huiwen of Qin.
Thirty years after King Youqu entered Xianyang, the Youqu tribe was defeated by Qin, and all its territory belonged to Qin.
Now, the Xiongnu has sent King Yougu Li, so is the destruction of the Xiongnu still far away?
The spirit of the ministers was greatly inspired by this.
But Liu Che would not think so.
Instead, he felt troubled.
It can be said that the Huns are not coming if they are not kind.
In the past exchanges between Han and Huns, although there has never been a record of the Xiongnu royal family going to China as an envoy.
But in future history, it will not happen once or twice.
Putting aside the fact that Hu Hanxie and Chan Yu dynasty to Chang'an foreshadowed the Xiongnu's recognition of defeat and China's absolute dominance.
In the middle and late period of Xiaozhu's rule, Ming history records that the Xiongnu royal family came to Chang'an more than once.
The most influential thing was that during the reign of the Xiongnu Uwei Shanyu, the Han envoy Yang Xin went on three missions and used all kinds of coercion, inducement and intimidation to persuade Uwei to send one of his sons, who was probably the heir, to the Han Dynasty.
To Chang'an as a proton.(Note)
This incident could have changed history and even ended the endless war between Han and Hungary in advance.
But, it's a pity.
This great Xiongnu nobleman with a mission of peace quickly died of illness less than half a year after arriving in Chang'an.
The cause of his death is unknown in history.
But what is certain is that it is definitely not a normal death.
Based on the situation at that time, whether it was the Huns or the Han Dynasty, there were a large number of people who did not want to see peace come.
Now time has passed. Decades before Uwe, at the time when the Xiongnu were at their peak, the Xiongnu sent King Yougu Li, one of the four nobles in the country and the chanyu to inherit power, to Chang'an.
Liu Che could guess what the military officials were planning without even recalling the memories of his previous life.
Not to mention, this King Youguli is the son of the newly enthroned King Youxian.
"Killing someone with a borrowed knife..." Liu Che thought in his heart.
When Yi Zhixie comes to Chang'an, Liu Che guarantees that those who want his life will at least have a reinforced camp!
At that time, Yi Zhixie's father invaded China three times, killing and plundering tens of thousands of Han soldiers and civilians. There were countless people who had blood feuds with him, from princes to common people.
As long as their identity is revealed, given the prevailing "great revenge" doctrine in the north today, there will be many desperadoes who are willing to risk their lives to carry out a powerful attack.
Those generals and officials, both inside and outside the government, may even turn a blind eye to these guys' acts of revenge out of sympathy, approval, support, etc., or even blatantly inform them, or even participate in it themselves.
Go in.
This is not unfounded worry, but something that will definitely happen.
To today's Chinese scholar-officials and nobles, blood for blood, tooth for tooth. This is the truth in the world, and it is also an unchangeable rule.
Among the people, blood revenge is very popular.
Not to mention those folk knights and heroes.
Even Liu Che, when he heard the envoy's name was Yi Zhixie, thought about whether to leave him in China.
Because if Yi Zhixie died in China, then in the future, the commander-in-chief of the Xiongnu would definitely be Yu Shan.
Liu Che had met and dealt with Yu Shan in his previous life.
To put it simply, he is a young man who has no independent opinion and is extremely timid.
Otherwise, he would not have been holding a straight flush in his hand, only to be overturned by Yizhi Xie, so he could only flee the Han Dynasty in embarrassment, live under the shelter of others, and become the so-called Shenan Hou.
But Yi Zhixie was different. This person's perseverance was rare in the history of the Xiongnu.
Historically, during his reign, the Huns were so slapped in the face by Wei Qing and Huo Qubing that their faces were almost swollen, and they were almost in dire straits. He had no intention of weakness or giving up.
He reigned for a total of thirteen years, just thirteen years with the Han army.
Although it has always been defeated in major battles.
But you have to know, who is the opponent he faces?
At its peak, under the command of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, the Han army was nearly invincible.
Later generations often say that if you are not afraid of opponents who are like gods, you should be afraid of teammates who are like pigs.
Obviously, Yi Zhixie did not become a pig teammate of the Huns when facing a divine opponent.
On the contrary, this person can be said to be a figure similar to Gou Jian, the Yue King of the Xiongnu.
After the decisive battle in Mobei, he resolutely abandoned half of the Huns' territory, traded space for time, and retreated to Mobei. Such a decision was extremely rare among nomadic peoples throughout Chinese history.
Moreover, after the disastrous defeat, Yi Zhixie was able to control the situation and unite the entire country under his banner, which is even more impressive.
You know, how many nomadic empires that flourished for a while in history immediately fell into internal strife and collapsed after losing a war.
But the Huns did not.
Even in history, when the Huns moved westward and Attila, the whip of God, defeated Rome in the east and west, they also enjoyed the remnants of Yizhixie.
Without Yi Zhixie to stabilize and unite the nobles of the Huns, Attila would probably have died in his sperm state, let alone defeating Eastern and Western Rome.
Compared with his personality, what alarmed Liu Che more was Yi Zhixie's employment and governance.
It was during his reign that the Huns began to learn from the advanced culture and technology of the Han Dynasty.
Yi Zhixie even offered extremely generous benefits to Han craftsmen and military officers.
After the Bank of China said that, the second big traitor, Zhao Xin, even enjoyed treatment second only to Shan Yu.
In order to win over Zhao Xin and facilitate his enjoyment, Yi Zhixie even ordered to build a city specifically for Zhao Xin in the Xiongnu country, named Zhao Xin City. This city was a high imitation of Chang'an City, with all the extravagance and extravagance.
There are all kinds of filthy places.
Yi Zhixie even sent his sister, daughter and cousin to Zhao Xin's pillow mat.
This set the precedent for the Xiongnu to use Han people or people who had served as officials in the Han Dynasty to govern the country.
Starting from Zhao Xin, to Weilu and Li Ling, the Huns almost sacrificed their heart and soul, blood and body in order to get the elites of the Han Dynasty to work for them.
In the later stage, even if you only ask the other party to contribute to you, any other harsh conditions can be negotiated (such as Li Ling).
Therefore, the Xiongnu became the only tribe in Chinese history that could be beaten by the unified Chinese dynasty in its heyday, and could survive for two to three hundred years. During the Five Husties period, they were able to come out to increase their presence, wasn't it?
There is no reason.
However, all these changes came from Yi Zhixie.
As long as Yi Zhixie is killed, Liu Che is convinced that all this will never happen again.
Under the leadership of the two pig teammates, Junchen and Yu Dan, the Xiongnu would become a short-lived nomadic tribe that quickly collapsed like the Quanrong, Donghu, and later Rouran and Turks in history.
