Nine hundred and ninetieth chapters after I die, who cares about the flood
In May, the Xiongnu's Chanyu Ting came to Longcheng.
The grand sacrifice also began.
In order to pray to the ancestors and gods, they will continue to bless the Xiongnu Empire with invincibility.
One by one, slaves were placed on the altar.
The Huns firmly believed that human sacrifice was the best sacrifice to their ancestors and gods.
In particular, sacrificing enemy leaders and nobles to ancestors and gods can make ancestors and gods happier.
Therefore, for this sacrifice, dozens of Dawan nobles were carried and tied to the stone pillars.
Their wails and screams echoed in Dragon City for several days.
The blood almost dyed the grass under the stone pillar black.
Countless flies were flying.
However, this year is different from previous years.
The shamans insist that their witchcraft and magical powers have been further strengthened.
Therefore, this year there is an additional link about cursing the Han Dynasty.
Shamans came on stage one after another, using various means to curse the enemy Han Dynasty.
Someone cursed and caused all the horses in the Han Dynasty to die of illness.
Some people also cursed, causing plague to occur in the Han Dynasty and causing the people to be displaced.
Some people even directly cursed that the emperor of the Han Dynasty died suddenly and the country was in civil strife.
With the performances of these shamans, the emotions within the Xiongnu were vented.
Many Xiongnu tribal leaders even raised their arms and shouted, asking the gods to punish the Han Dynasty.
The military officials and other senior Xiongnu officials were also very proud.
After the Battle of Mayi, the decline of the Xiongnu Empire seemed to have been brought to an end by this grand sacrifice.
The wealth, slaves and materials obtained from Dawan convinced many nobles that the Huns were still the most powerful country in the world.
Only in a certain dome in Dragon City, the aging Bank of China said, lying on a bed made of hay, listening to the noise outside Dragon City.
The old eunuch suddenly burst into tears and was heartbroken.
Landasin, who had always been by Zhongxing's side and carefully cared for the old master Shanyu like a disciple, saw this and lowered his head and asked: "Why are you sad?"
"When Old Shang Shanyu was in power, why did the Huns need to look at the face of the Han Dynasty?" Bank of China said, looking up, with the skin on his shriveled cheeks so rough that it could hold tears. He said sadly: "Old Shang Shanyu
When Yu was in power, although we, the great Xiongnu, could not claim to give or take anything from the Han Dynasty, we still had the upper hand! At that time, the Chan Yu had something to ask for, but the Han Dynasty did not dare not grant it! The Chan Yu wrote to the Han Emperor:
The tablet is two inches long, and the words are: The birth month of the heaven and the earth is the place where the Xiongnu Great Chanyu respectfully asks the Emperor of the Han Dynasty!"
"It's nothing like today. Not only are the certificates of ceremonial documents measured to an inch, but their words are as cowardly as a mouse!"
Landasin was also ashamed when he heard this.
Since the Battle of Mayi, the Huns have automatically changed the credential of the Han Dynasty to the same size as the credential given to the Xiongnu Chanyu by the Han Dynasty.
In his words of praise, he even automatically and consciously deleted those words that might anger the Han Dynasty.
The current Han-Xiong credential, with the Xiongnu Fang raising his head, has become simple: the Xiongnu Chanyu respectfully asked the Han emperor.
Not only were the birth date and moon positions of heaven and earth deleted, but also the big characters of Great Xiongnu were omitted.
Not only that, the Emperor of Han became the Emperor of Han.
If we talk about the previous peace talks between Han and Hungary, the Xiongnu were the eldest brother and the Han Dynasty was the younger brother.
So now, the Huns automatically placed themselves under the Han Dynasty, which was almost equivalent to recognizing the hegemony of the Han Dynasty.
It is said that these changes were all the work of the traitor.
It was he who persuaded the nobles of Shan Yuting and the Chanyu, saying, "We, the great Xiongnu, have never paid much attention to red tape, and the so-called etiquette of the Han Dynasty is of no use to our Xiongnu." Then he persuaded the nobles of Shan Yuting to "focus on the overall situation."
'.
Who wants to oppose or boycott this matter?
Qi Qu Qie Diao would immediately jump up, point his finger at the other party's nose, and scold the other party as a "person with ulterior motives" who was trying to "sabotage the Great Chanyu's Western Expedition", provoking a war between Han and Hungary, and destroying peace.
The nobles of Shanyu and Shanyuting were all dazzled by the benefits brought by the Western Expedition.
It is difficult to control the exchanges between Han and Huns if they are left alone.
Under the auspices of Qiequ Qiediaonan, Talantaosin could only watch helplessly as the Huns' vassals in Munan became unstable in large areas.
Many small tribes lost confidence in Shan Yuting.
However, Landasin must also admit it.
It makes sense to say that it is difficult to channel and carve.
Now, the Han Dynasty is strong and the Huns are weak.
The result of the Battle of Mayi clearly proved this point.
The Xiongnu could not find a way to defeat the Han cavalry that could defeat the Han cavalry that surrounded and annihilated Zhelan, King Youxian's headquarters, Loufan, and Aries coalition forces at the foot of Mayi City.
The Xiongnu could only give in before the Han Dynasty.
in exchange for time.
This is a clear and unmistakable fact, no matter how dissatisfied Landosin and others are, they can only accept it.
Bank of China, who was lying on the hay, continued excitedly: "If today's Chanyu just tolerates or endures the humiliation, there may still be hope for the Huns, but..."
The Bank of China said it was hearing noisy noises outside.
The curses of the shamans and the cheers of the Huns nobles.
He lowered his head and said: "His behavior today clearly and unmistakably proves that he is a cowardly king!"
"Today's so-called curse is nothing more than the howl of a defeated dog!"
"I deeply regret that I didn't persuade King You Xian to take a preemptive strike, which led to today!"
"I'm afraid that the foundation created by my old master Shanyu will be lost in less than ten years!"
Landasin could only lower his head in silence as he listened to the rebellious words coming out of BOC's mouth.
Because he knew that what the old eunuch said was right.
Today's Xiongnu Chanyu and today's Xiongnu nobles are already frightened in front of the Han Dynasty.
The Battle of Mayi, a tragic defeat, was widely publicized by the Hun nobles who had returned through prisoner exchanges in the past two years.
The invulnerable Han army's cuirassiers, which were single-handedly smashed into pieces by Zhelan's army, made every Huns lose the confidence to win against them.
Especially in the hearts of the lower class herdsmen and cavalry, the cavalry of the Han army has been deified.
Originally, things might not have been this bad.
After all, the lower class herdsmen and cavalry are ignorant, and they believe whatever the nobles and masters say.
But the problem was that the entire Shan Yuting was frightened by the scenes described by the nobles who had been exchanged for prisoners.
They looked at the Han Dynasty with trepidation.
And this emotion was transmitted to the lower levels.
As a result, today's Xiongnu can only rely on shamans in Dragon City to curse the Han Dynasty.
But they did not dare to send people to kill, even if it was to insult and humiliate the Han envoys who were hunting down the captured Han people among the various tribes of the Xiongnu.
The tribes on the border between the two countries have either withdrawn voluntarily or are already flirting with the Han Dynasty.
Today's Xiongnu carnival, as the Bank of China said, is nothing more than the howl of a defeated dog, a gathering of cowards and cowards.
They are only willing to go to the west to conquer and plunder the weak Sai people, Yuezhi people, and Kangju people. They never want to go back to the Great Wall in the south.
Some tribes even exaggeratedly said that they did not even return to the south for the winter.
They moved their tribe's winter home to the basin in the west.
Since the founding of the Xiongnu country, such a situation has never occurred and has never faced such a situation.
Landasin sighed.
He looked up at Zhongxing, who was lying on the haystack and had reached the end of his life, and asked: "Mr. Zhongxing, you are the wise man of the great Shanyu, and also the wisdom of the great Xiongnu. In your opinion, if the great Xiongnu
What should we do if we want to continue and dominate?”
Bank of China said he was lying on the haystack, looking at Landosin, and shook his head at first.
Then, he remembered the episode in his memory that he would never forget.
That was the summer of twenty-seven years ago.
The old Shan Yu was established at the beginning, and a new peace treaty was reached between Han and Hungary.
He, a dispensable eunuch in the court, became the tack on the marriage treaty and was tied up and sent to the grassland.
He didn't want to come to the Huns no matter what.
However, those noble people held the power and did not give him a chance to decide his own destiny.
So, before leaving, he swore to the palace wall of Chang'an: I must do it and become a Han patient.
The officials responsible for escorting him laughed out loud after hearing his oath: "How can a slave who has been castrated have some backbone?"
From then on, revenge against the Han Dynasty, the Liu family, and the world became his long-cherished wish.
Now, he is going to die.
The Bank of China made it clear that he would not survive for a few days.
You may even die in the next moment.
But his oath, his long-cherished wish, and his obsession have not even seen the light of day.
On the contrary, the Han Dynasty and the Liu family became more prosperous and powerful.
The new little emperor who ascended the throne was said to be the heir who was assassinated by Liu Heng, Emperor Taizong of the Han Dynasty.
Taking the east and conquering the west, conquering the south and fighting in the north.
In just a few years, the country has expanded thousands of miles of territory.
The South annexed East Vietnam, causing the ministers of South Vietnam King Zhao Tuo and the Minyue people to tremble on the ground, prostrate themselves on the ground, calling themselves the Holy Emperor, as well-behaved as lambs.
In the east, he wielded the Emperor's Sword, not only drawing the entire Korean Kingdom and the entire peninsula after Korea into the bowl of the Han Dynasty.
Further north and west, the land was expanded thousands of miles.
Even, through the Battle of Mayi, the Huns were forced to cede all the land east of Wuwan Mountain.
Xianbei and Wu Heng became slaves of the Han Dynasty.
The huge territory of the Han Empire, from here to now, extends to the South China Sea in the south, the Great Wall in the north, the snowy plains in the east, and Bashu in the west. It covers an area of tens of thousands of miles, with millions of mountains and rivers, and heroes and heroes emerge in endlessly.
On the other hand, the Xiongnu's national power has been deteriorating since the internal strife eight years ago.
As for today, I can only rely on the Western Expedition to comfort myself.
The offensive and defensive posture of the Han and Hungarians changed from then on.
As a former Han Chinese, Bank of China said very clearly that the next step of the Han Dynasty's strategy must be to go north.
Hetao Plain, the hometown of the Qin people, no Han monarch would forget or abandon.
Either this year or next year, the Han army, which has completed its repair and reorganization, will inevitably cross the Great Wall and launch the Battle of Hetao.
After Hetao, naturally comes Hexi.
If you go to the Hexi Corridor, the whole world will be exposed to the eyes of the Han Dynasty people.
Everything in the world is not the king's land, and the shores of the land are not the king's ministers.
The Han Dynasty will definitely continue to advance westward and compete with the Huns for the Western Regions.
And if the Huns were defeated in Hetao and Hexi, how could they defend the Western Regions?
Once the Western Region was lost, the Xiongnu were trapped and died in the desert and wasteland of Mubei, never to be able to stand up again!
If this is true, then what is the meaning of his life?
What is the meaning of all the hard work and efforts he has spent in this life?
Isn't it true that the oath he made back then was just like what the Han Dynasty official mocked: that eunuch slaves also have backbone?
no!
This can't be the case!
BOC said that his eyes suddenly opened wide!
However, he knew very well that today's balance of national power and national power between the Han and Huns was no longer enough to support the Xiongnu to continue attacking the Han.
In fact, as long as the Han Dynasty did not make mistakes and fought steadily, it would gradually erode the power of the Xiongnu.
For example, if they take Hetao this year and go to Hexi next year, they will camp step by step. The Huns will have no way to do it!
How to do how to do?
BOC said that he asked himself repeatedly in his mind.
"I must let the Emperor of the Han Dynasty and the people of the Han Dynasty know that I was wrong, and they should not have treated me like that!" Bank of China said and swore in his heart.
Then, he thought of a place.
Yes, if the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty were to fight head-on now, judging from the military strength of the Han Dynasty and the combat effectiveness of the nearly invincible cuirassiers, the Xiongnu would have no chance of winning.
However, the Han Dynasty also had a fatal weakness and was unable to support large-scale expeditions.
At least not yet!
The cost of sending 10,000 troops out of the fortress in one year is enough to bankrupt a large county with a population of one million!
In other words, the Han army could not fight on the grassland for a long time.
Its system, its mobilization mechanism, and its citizens cannot withstand the pressure of a long war and the large number of casualties.
Thinking of this, Bank of China raised his head and said in a hoarse voice to Lan Tuoxin: "If, after my death, a full-scale war breaks out between Han and Hungary, please tell Shan Yu and the nobles of Shan Yu Ting that although Han is strong, its other
The strength is limited! If the Han Dynasty attacks Hetao, please send the Hexi and Hetao tribes to defend Gaoque. As long as Gaoque is defended, Hetao will not be lost!"
"If you really can't defend it, then don't defend it!" Zhongxing said strugglingly: "When things can't be done, abandon the Hetao and retreat to Yinshan Mountain. If Yinshan Mountain can no longer be defended, abandon Yinshan Mountain and retreat to Qilian!
"
He stared into the distance, and the landscape of the Qilian Mountains was clearly reflected in his mind. Every canyon, every mountain and every forest there could delay the actions of the Han army, making the entire war cruel and long.
Of course, this is not the point.
The point is
Zhongxing looked at Lan Tuoxin and said: "If the Han Dynasty pushes to Qilian and the Shanyu cannot defeat it, please tell General Zuo and ask him to tell Shanyu: Gaolan Mountain is located in the middle of Hexi, and is connected to Rouge.
, can be used as a battlefield to make a tribe fake defeat and induce a Han army to rush here. Then, I, the great Huns, will gather all the main forces and annihilate them!"
"It is better to cut off ten of his fingers than to injure one of them!" Zhongxing said to Landosin: "As long as one main force of the Han army can be surrounded and annihilated, the rest of the Han army will inevitably be unable to advance or retreat..."
"By that time..." Bank of China said with a cruel smile and laughed: "The entire Hexi will become the land of the dead souls of the Han Dynasty. Every canyon, every oasis, every lake, and every mountain will become
The place of bloodshed and the mountain of sorrow for the Han people!"
Landasin's hands trembled upon hearing this.
The scene described by the Bank of China made him tremble with fear.
Of course, he was not frightened by the battlefield described by BOC.
Instead, I was frightened by the prospects described by the Bank of China.
When did the Xiongnu Empire become unable to protect even the Hetao and Yinshan Mountains, and even had to retreat to protect the Qilian Mountains? It even took the strength of the entire country to have a chance to defeat a partial army of the Han people?
Was the Han Dynasty really that powerful?
Thinking about it carefully, Landosin had to admit that it was indeed the case!
Today's Han Dynasty, in terms of equipment, tactics, spirit and combat effectiveness, has completely surpassed the Huns and the cavalry on which the Huns were proud.
The Battle of Mayi told everyone: When it comes to riding and shooting, the Han are the experts! The Huns are just kids with slingshots at best!
But……
Landasin raised his head, looked at the way Bank of China was speaking, and said, "Sir, I'm worried that no one will listen to me!"
"Yes!" Bank of China murmured with a sneer: "They will listen. When the Han people attack Gaoque violently, and Gaoque cannot keep time, you stand up and propose to withdraw from Yinshan, and Shanyu will definitely agree..."
Today's military minister Shanyu's falsehood has been completely seen through by Bank of China.
He is just a mediocre leader, completely lacking the courage and strategic determination of the great Chanyu.
When encountering a problem, his first thought must be to reduce losses.
Since Gaoque cannot be defended, it is natural to abandon Gaoque and retreat to Yinshan Mountain.
And when Yinshan cannot be defended, it is also foreseeable that Qilian will be retreated.
After retreating again and again, we retreated to the Qilian Mountains.
Neither the Xiongnu nobles nor the Luotang nobles would let their military officials retreat again.
At that time, the military officials could only rush into battle and fight against the Han army.
At the time of the war, Huyan Dangtu, a close confidant of the military officials, proposed to encircle and annihilate a partial army of the Han Dynasty.
With the character of a military minister, I will definitely agree and fully support it.
However, this is not the most vicious strategy of Bank of China.
Bank of China said, looking at Landosin, holding his hand, and said sincerely: "Besides, there is a plan, only you know it, I know it, God knows it, and the earth knows it!"
He lowered his voice and said: "Once the Han Dynasty begins to attack Yinshan, its main force will gather in Hetao. Please lead the main force of the Lan family and King Hujie's elite to bypass the Great Wall of the Han Dynasty and enter the Han Dynasty from Wuwan Mountain.
Within the Anton Protectorate!"
"You can even divide your troops and use a partial division to invade the Great Wall of Han Dynasty from outside Youbeiping. If possible, march to Jicheng and kill and loot as many villages as possible in the Han Dynasty!"
"In this case, the emperor of the Han Dynasty will inevitably have to mobilize the county troops of Yanzhao and even Qilu..." Zhongxing said that his hand increased his strength at this time and grabbed Lan Tuoxin tightly: "Once the reinforcements of the Han Dynasty arrive,
Don't be entangled and withdraw your troops immediately, even if you throw away all the looted wealth and slaves!"
"This move is called 'surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao' in the military books of the Han Dynasty!" Zhongxing said in a low voice.
When he finished explaining his entire plan and all strategic concepts.
He finally felt satisfied.
As long as Landosing and the Huns act according to his plans and strategic ideas.
So, even if the Han Dynasty could win, it would be extremely embarrassing and painful.
They will have to pay at least hundreds of thousands or even millions of casualties, and the entire war will last for more than ten years or even decades.
Someone named Liu may even have a fire in his backyard due to the drag of the war.
As for the losses suffered by the Xiongnu after using his strategy, and will the Xiongnu perish as a result?
He is going to die soon.
Why do you care so much?
"After I die, I won't care about the flood!" (To be continued.)
