Section 981: The Huns who saved the country by curve
In order to make the Huns feel at ease, they went to the west to rob and make money.
The Han government’s strategic deception measures against the Xiongnu didn’t stop there!
For example, Liu Che sent an envoy with great fanfare and brought rich gifts to marry the Xiongnu clan who should be married to China according to the provisions of the Han-Hungarian peace treaty.
The pomp was huge, with as many as a hundred members of the delegation alone.
In addition, there are countless supplies.
Although, they are all luxuries.
For example, whale oil, whale skin, whale baleen, longan incense and other marine specialties.
Another example is Rhubarb, an upstart trade company.
The noble Xiongnu Chan Yuting, who was poor and had only money left, was of course very happy to accept this generous gift.
Since the emperor of the Han Dynasty was so sincere, of course, in order to maintain peace between Han and Huns, the Huns must not be too stingy.
After much deliberation, the Huns finally decided to ennoble the Yan clan who was about to marry into the Han Dynasty as the "Wuwan Yan clan" and give all the land and pastures south of Wuwan Mountain as a dowry.
Although this was part of the peace treaty agreed by Han and Hungary long ago.
But the Huns can publicly announce it, which is interesting enough in itself.
In addition, the dowry members of the 'Karasuma Kan clan' are also similar to the size of her sister Beihai Kan clan.
Three thousand slaves and 20,000 livestock will be married to the Han Dynasty along with the Karasuma family.
As for slaves, the Huns were very cunning, and they all used Han people from various tribes.
But the livestock is real.
In short, now, on the surface, Han and Hungary are really more friendly than brothers and more united than allies.
At the Yunzhong Border Fortress, the Han and Hungarians even conducted a symbolic joint patrol. In fact, each side sent out fifty cavalry, and then formed a patrol cavalry to patrol the border together.
In addition to these measures, Liu Che also approved multiple arms export requests to the Huns.
He even exported the crossbow, which had a range of 500 steps and could penetrate most city walls, to the Xiongnu.
As for desperately selling grain, turning a blind eye to the smuggling practices of those merchants at the border fortress are just minor problems.
In such a friendly atmosphere between Han and Hungary, especially with the glorious victory in the Battle of Mayi as a background, the trade between Han and Hungary has entered into abnormal development since last year.
A large number of Xiongnu tribes and nobles came to the border market with their wealth and livestock.
Then, through bartering, they obtained the specialties of the Han Dynasty that they liked, such as silk, salt, rhubarb, pepper, grain, bronze and other metal products.
There were even Hun nobles who paid for goods directly with gold in the market.
Countless businessmen knelt down in front of the Huns' money.
Iron tools and even weapons that were expressly prohibited from being exported were quietly transported out of the border fortress.
But, as everyone knows, this is exactly what Liu Che wants.
This move is called luring the snake out of its hole.
How happy those merchants are making from Han-Hungarian trade today, how miserable they will cry tomorrow.
Once the all-out war between Han and Hungary breaks out.
These scumbags who have collaborated with the Xiongnu and betrayed the national interests will definitely lose their heads. At least they will have to work as free laborers for the rest of their lives and use their labor to atone for their sins.
And their wealth and land will all be confiscated!
It cannot be said that Liu Che was shameless in this matter.
If those merchants didn't smuggle contraband, nothing would happen.
Since they have smuggled contraband, they are bound to be severely punished by the law.
You must know that these merchants are very aware of the relevant provisions of Han Code and the relevant laws of the country.
Knowing the law and breaking the law will result in an additional penalty!
As for these guys selling the advanced weapons of the Han Dynasty to the Huns, what if they are used by the Huns to attack the Han Dynasty?
Liu Che is not worried about this issue.
Because the scale of these smuggling trades is not big.
It is also impossible for smugglers to have access to the new equipment of the current main force of the Han army.
Even long-established star equipment like the Dahuang Crossbow cannot be exposed to the production, rationing, loss and destruction of the Dahuang Crossbow. All are managed by dedicated personnel, and even if there are fewer parts, they will be held accountable.
What they can sell are those bronze crossbows that have long been on the streets and various obsolete old weapons.
This is doomed that their behavior can only cause a little trouble at best, which is within the range that Liu Che can completely accept.
Compared with this matter, Liu Che was more concerned about another plan he was carrying out secretly.
However, this matter cannot be shared with others.
"The seeds I planted unintentionally could not bear to bear such fruitful fruits..." Liu Che sighed in his heart, feeling sad for the Huns.
………………………………
He lived in Yanze, where the Xiongnu Chanyu Dahu was located.
A group of cavalry passed in front of Shanyu Dazhan.
Adjacent to King Shanyu's tent is the Qionglu where the second force of the Xiongnu Empire lived.
A high-ranking shaman sat on the ground.
The one in the middle had several magical instruments made of human skulls placed in front of him.
The owners of these skulls are all famous past grassland heroes.
There are those from the King of Donghu, as well as from the Yuezhi nobles, and of course, there are also those rebellious ones who once tried to challenge Shan Yu's status.
The Huns killed them, skinned and cramped them, and made them into wine vessels and magical vessels.
The purpose is to suppress and humiliate the souls of these people forever, so that they will never be reincarnated and can only watch the Huns dominate.
Ling, you, their women, whipped their descendants and enslaved their descendants.
At this moment, the entire tent was filled with smoke.
In the rising smoke, a shaman showed an extremely intoxicated expression.
"I saw my ancestors, whispering in my ears..." A shaman suddenly stood up, his eyes bright, and he felt full of power, as if he had returned to his youth.
"The ancestors said that they need the hearts of four babies and the scalps of five women to sacrifice them!" The shaman grabbed the bone chain hanging around his neck and ordered loudly: "Go and do it immediately!"
In the Xiongnu, shamans, especially royal shamans, were basically appointed by old men of the Luotang family.
Their orders are, of course, divine decrees.
Immediately, the cavalry took the order and left.
Just a few slaves!
Then another shaman threw away his crutches and stood up without anyone's support, and started an inexplicable dance in the tent.
While dancing, he also murmured a language that outsiders could not understand or know.
"The Wolf God has appeared!" The priest spread out his hair, then took the knife he carried and cut his cheek open, letting the blood flow, but he said without blinking: "
The Wolf God told me that the Qiang people will rebel!"
One after another, the shamans stood up in the smoke-filled tent, showing the results of their communication with their ancestors or gods.
The words of these people were immediately regarded as divine decrees and implemented.
For the Xiongnu, unless they want to overthrow the rule of Shanyu, no matter what the shamans say, they will be executed.
Because it's May now.
According to Xiongnu tradition, in May, a Tellurin Conference of all tribes will be held.
At the Tellurin Conference, leaders of various tribes from areas controlled by the Xiongnu will appear.
The Chanyu will count the population and livestock of each tribe, reallocate pastures, reward or punish internal tribes, and decide on external wars.
At the same time, this is a time for Shanyu to show his muscles and strength to the tribes.
And shamans are also part of the muscles and strength.
Shanyuting needs shamans to give its rule a sacred cloak from the divine and religious aspects.
Although, the military minister himself played a trick of being ordered by heaven.
But, in the end, the Xiongnu tradition is deeply rooted.
Royal power and divine power are relatively scattered even now.
Chanyu still needed the blessing of divine power to rule his empire.
Only in a corner of Shan Yu's Courtyard, at this moment, the almost forgotten Qi Qu Qi Diao Nan was smiling viciously.
Of course, he was also puffing away the clouds.
While swallowing the clouds and mist, I was thinking wildly about my future in my heart.
"Xiaoyaosan..." He held a box and said with a smile, "What a good thing!"
He now has almost no doubt that he can rely on this Xiaoyaosan from the Han Dynasty to expand his power over the Xiongnu.
Because he knows that Xiaoyaosan is a good thing.
It can indeed make people forget all worries and get rid of any pain.
But, like all good things, it can be addictive.
Once you are addicted, it is impossible to get rid of it!
Relying on this Xiaoyaosan, he has now basically controlled the shamans of Shan Yuting.
Just think of those shamans who are aloof in front of outsiders, just for a little freedom, they are as docile as dogs, and even let him eat and drink urine.
I can't help but be excited when I find it difficult!
The only regret is...
"There is too little Xiaoyao Powder..." Qiqu Qediaonan said in his heart: "I still need more Xiaoyao Powder!"
His ambition is not just to turn a few shamans into his puppets.
He also wanted to use Xiaoyaosan to control and manipulate Shan Yuting.
Let Chanyu also lie down at his feet, wagging his tail and begging for mercy.
but……
For him, the only problem is: only the emperor of the Han Dynasty has this Xiaoyaosan in the world!
In other words, in fact, he was just a marionette of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty.
Once the Emperor of the Han Dynasty cuts off the supply of Xiaoyaosan, he will probably be torn into pieces by those guys who become crazy due to addiction symptoms!
But it doesn’t matter!
"I can't go back to the life I had before!" Qiqu Qediaonan said to himself in his heart: "I want to become the most powerful man in the world, sleep with the most beautiful women, ride the best horses, drink
The best wine and the most mutton!”
In order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to act as a marionette for the emperor of the Han Dynasty!
Now, using Xiaoyaosan to control the shamans of the royal court is just the beginning.
Next, Qi Qu Qie Diao Nan set his sights on the big shots in the Royal Court headquarters.
He did not dare to get involved with the generals on the left and the right, as well as the few Huns nobles who were famous for their fierceness and bravery.
Especially the general of the left, Huyan Dangtu.
This is a warrior recognized by all the Huns!
And he is worried that the symptoms of addiction may not be able to control him.
After all, Huyan Dangtu was known as a lunatic.
Similarly, he could not reach out to those nobles who were protected by the generals on the left and right for the time being.
But it doesn't matter.
He can completely control the clan leaders of Shan Yuting's headquarters one by one.
As long as these clans are controlled, doesn't Shan Yuting have the final say?
Thinking of this, Qi Qu Qi Diao Nan smiled even more happily.
"Chanyu, why does it have to be a Chanyu family?" He puffed out the smoke and thought endlessly in his heart: "And why can't the Qu family have a Chanyu family?"
Moreover, although the Qu family was in the Xiongnu headquarters, their status was low.
But, there are a lot of them.
The total of the four major clans and the Luotang clan only amounted to 300,000 yip.
But the Qu clan alone has more than 50,000 towns settled.
Not inferior to the Luantang clan and the other four major clans.
If we add the support of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty and the Han-Hungarian War, we also include the clans that were wiped out by the Han Dynasty.
Qiequ Qiediao had every reason to believe that he and his Qiequ clan were capable of ruling the Xiongnu Empire.
For Shan Yu's position.
There is nothing wrong with recognizing the emperor of the Han Dynasty as your father!
Moreover, at this moment, there was another thought active in Qi Qu Qie Diao Nan's mind: the result of the Battle of Mayi showed that the Han Dynasty could defeat and kill all the Huns without any pressure.
In order to prevent the Xiongnu from being exterminated.
His cooperation with the Han Dynasty was appropriate and correct.
"I am doing this to preserve the Xiongnu, and also to save the Xiongnu..." Qiqu Qediao couldn't put down the burning Xiaoyaosan in his hand and said in his heart.
In fact, his idea makes a lot of sense.
For the nomads themselves, nothing is more important than survival.
There is nothing more important than the continuation of the tribe.
In the history of the Xiongnu, there were more than one occasion when a desperate tribal leader resolutely stepped onto the altar to sacrifice himself to his ancestors and God because of drought or snow disaster, praying to the gods for forgiveness and to spare his tribe.
At this moment, in Qiqu Qediaonan's heart, he was just that kind of tribal leader.
For the continuation of the empire and peace for future generations.
Kneel down and be the son of the Han emperor.
Nothing wrong!
"I should immediately send these pieces of information to warn the people of the Han Dynasty..." He stood up and, without hesitation, quietly took a piece of information that had been written long ago, put it into a bamboo tube, and sealed it.
For him, he is now even more ardent than the Han Dynasty monarchs and ministers, hoping to see the Xiongnu suffer losses in the Han-Hungarian War again, or even be defeated.
Because only when the Huns are defeated can his status be improved.
As his status improves, he can do some things secretly.
And only if those things go smoothly, will he be able to kick Luoting out of the royal family.
Vice versa, the logic is the same.
If the Huns are not defeated, the position of the Luotang clan will be stable. If the position of the Luotang clan is stable, he will have no chance to try for the throne of the Great Chanyu!
