In the eyes of ordinary people, the Huns' plan was good, but there were some problems with the timing.
The strategy of releasing the epidemic was indeed devised by Bank of China, and the reason why they chose to release it in winter was also considered. The purpose of Bank of China was to scare Su Ren away, and then let their own merchant Nie Yi or Ji Shaogong take over Mayi
, this will cut off Yu Shan's path, and make Yizhixie more advantageous in the future competition between Yi Zhixie and Yu Dan for Shan Yu's position.
To put it bluntly, Yi Zhixie is still a little worried about Su Ren. Su Ren's reputation in the Han Dynasty is too good. Since he clearly supports Yu Dan, if Yu Dan really gets stronger, Yi Zhixie will be a threat to him. For the sake of future rights, Yi Zhixie
Zhixie will never allow such a thing to happen.
Chanyu was deceived by them. Although he also knew about the epidemic, there were a hundred thousand mouths waiting for food. Besides, he agreed to the matter in a fit of anger. Who can blame him? Su Ren has not sent food for three months.
came, but the 100,000 kilograms of grain promised by Nie Yi and Ji Shaogong were nowhere to be seen. Since Su Ren did not send grain, it means that Su Ren already knew about the matter, and Shan Yu would be embarrassed if he asked for it again. At this point,
At that time, Shanyu felt a little regretful.
The Tuntou King closed his eyes and meditated, turning a blind eye to the Chanyu's gaze. As the elder of the Huns, although he was neither a Chanyu nor the largest king, the Tuntou King was a symbol of wisdom among the Huns. At first, the Tuntou King had stopped
The Chanyu did this before, but it was a pity that the Chanyu didn't listen. Now that things have developed to this extent, the Tuntou King ignores the Chanyu, and the Chanyu has no way to do anything.
In the fall, because there was no food, the newly born calves were eaten by the victims as rations. The originally huge plan was shelved. Now that the cold winter is coming, rations for 100,000 mouths are not available, and more will be needed next year.
of food.
"Everyone, tell me!" Faced with the deserted situation in the big tent, Shan Yu finally couldn't help it: "Everyone, tell me, is there any other way to solve the livelihood of one hundred thousand herdsmen? They are all the descendants of the Immortal Heaven, and they must not watch.
They freeze to death and starve to death!"
No one answered Shan Yu's question. They all lowered their heads and fiddled with the dazzling array of jewelry in their hands intentionally or unintentionally. Yu Shan wanted to get angry, but he couldn't find anyone to talk to. Everyone here was a tribal leader. If his tone was more serious,
If they don't keep it together, at night they will kneel at the feet of another person and declare their allegiance. This has nothing to do with the center. The Huns are not like the Han people. They admire strength and strength.
"King Tuntou, you are the wise man of our Huns, do you have a way to solve the current crisis?" Shanyu still hoped that King Tuntou would open his mouth.
The Tuntou King slowly stood up and shook his robe. The marks on his thin cheeks proved that he had lived long enough. Everyone looked at the Tuntou King, wanting to hear what he had to say? What if he was right?
Disadvantage, no one will care if the Chanyu will be angry with him. In the face of the interests of the tribe, the Chanyu's face is nothing.
The Tuntou King coughed and saluted Shanyu: "Chanyu, for the present plan, I thought that I should send an envoy to Mayi to discuss the matter of sending grain with Su Ren again, but this time I'm afraid it will take more trouble, so I said
The price will probably increase a lot, so Shanyu please sit back and be prepared."
Shanyu frowned: "Is there no other way besides this?"
"Yes!" Tuntou King paused: "Sent troops to Yinshan. As far as I know, King Zuoguli has hoarded a large amount of grain and grass in Yinshan. As long as we capture the court of King Zuoguli in Yinshan, there is no need to go to Su Ren anymore!"
There was chaos in the tent immediately, and everyone was whispering to each other. It was not unheard of for the Huns to attack each other. At least during the period when Shanyu took office, wars were fought almost every day on the grassland. However, at that time, the tribes were attacking each other. Although it was also
Although they are related by relatives, there is no such close relationship between Chanyu and King Zuoguli. King Zuoguli, Yi Zhixie, is Shanyu's younger brother. It would be more shameless for an elder brother to attack his younger brother and speak out than to plead with Su Ren.
The Bank of China said that he had been sitting in the shadow behind Shan Yu and had no interest in what was going on in the hall. Everyone was talking, but he was the only one who sat quietly in his seat, eating mutton and drinking kumiss. He understood Tuen Tou
What Wang said was correct, but he also knew that the Chanyu would not agree to these two things. As a Xiongnu, the Chanyu had long passed the age when he would do anything for a bite to eat. Now the Chanyu's bond is stronger than in the past.
Much more.
Sure enough, the Chanyu didn't say anything and sat silently in his seat. The Tuntou King didn't force him either. Seeing that the Chanyu ignored him, he returned to his seat and waited for further instructions from the Chanyu.
The discussion became louder and louder, turning from a buzz at the beginning into a passionate speech. Several kings who were close to Yi Zhixie loudly complained for Yi Zhixie, and of course there were also some Shanyu supporters who joined them.
The tit-for-tat confrontation between the two sides evolved from blowing noses and glaring at each other to a quarrel, and they were about to pull out a knife.
"Bank of China said, what suggestions do you have?" Chanyu turned to look at Bank of China who was eating and drinking and said.
Zhongxing said that he hurriedly put down the knife and wine glass in his hand. The big tent became quiet for a moment, and everyone looked at Zhongxing again. Zhongxing said that although this eunuch was looked down upon by others, he played a vital role in assisting the Huns.
The three Chanyus can also be considered as having made great contributions to the Huns. Their words can influence the Chanyus' decisions to a great extent.
Zhongxing said and wiped his hands clean on his clothes: "Chanyu, this matter is easy to handle! Since we can't attack King Zuogu Li, we can lead our troops to attack the Han Dynasty! The Han Dynasty and I, the Xiongnu, have a border of thousands of miles, and we can attack anywhere.
, there is Yanmen Pass behind Mayi, but there is no such majestic pass behind other places. As long as the wealthy Han Dynasty occupies a few counties, not only can the rations of 100,000 people be solved, but the Shanyu will also add tens of thousands of slaves!"
"Yes, attack the big man!" Someone immediately agreed.
Over the years, the Huns have harassed the Han like this. Yanmen, Daijun, Youbei and other places are the places where the Huns come most often. Although the Han often sends troops to rescue, it is a pity that after the Han's army arrives, the Huns
The people have already returned with their full load. In the eyes of the Huns, the Han Dynasty is always their best supply station. Many times, if they don't receive the goods, they will raise troops to invade. This is not a secret thing.
Shan Yu's brows still didn't relax: "In your opinion, who should be sent to fight?"
The Xiongnu kings rushed to request orders one by one. At this time, no one could care whether they were from Shanyu or Yizhixie. In their opinion, if such a fat job fell into their pocket, it was theirs.
King Han was the most impatient and was the first to rush out and ask Shanyu for orders: "Chanyu, I am willing to lead my troops there!"
"I am also willing!"
"I am willing!"
Shan Yu looked at Zhong Xing again and said, Zhong Xing said: "To attack the Han Dynasty, the main thing is to attack the Han Dynasty quickly. If we send troops from the royal court, they will be discovered by the Han army before they reach the border. In this way, the slaves think that to attack the Han Dynasty, they only need to send troops from the Han Dynasty."
The person closest to the earth, whether King Zuo Guli or King You Guli, is a good candidate."
When the Tuntou King heard this, he glanced at Zhong Xing and said. He heard the conspiracy in Zhong Xing's words. Yizhixie, the king of Left Valley Li, and Yu Shan, the king of Right Valley Li, were indeed closest to the Han Dynasty. But based on Shan Yu's current attitude towards Yin Zhixie,
Such a good thing will not happen to Yi Zhixie. So Yu Dan becomes the only candidate, but don’t forget that Su Ren is a Han. If Yu Shan really attacks the Han, Su Ren will still be so helpful.
he?
Even if Yu Shan really snatched things back from the Han Dynasty, it would only be a drop in the bucket for the 100,000 victims. At that time, as long as Yin Zhi offers some benefits to Shan Yu, he can completely suppress Yu Shan's limelight, and even
He bit back and said that Yu Dan didn't use any force.
"Chanyu, I think that King Zuo Guli is qualified for the job!" King Tuntou immediately stood up and asked for Yizhixie's order.
The Bank of China said that he also glanced at the Tuntou King, and the two looked at each other, with a feeling that you understand me best.
Shan Yu's brows furrowed even deeper. If King Tun Tou hadn't said those words, he would probably have ordered Yu Dan, King of Youguli, to send troops to attack the Han Dynasty. After hearing what King Tuen Tou said, he hesitated again.
Knowing that the Tuntou King and Yu Shan were one and the same, at this time the Tuntou King asked for Yizhixie's life, and Shan Yu had to think more.
Shanyu was worried about his 100,000 victims, and Su Ren was also worried about the future of Mayi. Although a small epidemic failed to break Mayi's muscles and bones, no one can guarantee that the weather will be hot next year.
Will we come again? If the epidemic breaks out at that time, it is really impossible to live in Mayi. Standing at the top of the city, looking at the dilapidated Mayi City, the grass on the north grassland has withered, and the cold wind is blowing.
It blew south for a while, and I couldn't wait to cross the Great Wall and enter the Han Dynasty.
"Sir, what are you looking at?" Han Qing stood next to Su Ren and followed Su Ren's gaze. A large dark cloud was gathering in the northern sky. It is estimated that it will rain tomorrow night, and it may even snow.
.
Su Ren shook his head: "It's nothing. Have you prepared everything for the winter? It's very windy here. Let's send people to search again. Any dangerous places must be eliminated immediately. Those who cannot be eliminated temporarily must be watched by someone to avoid accidents.
."
"City Lord Sang is already doing it and has mobilized many merchants to work together. Nothing will happen. This Mayi must belong to the merchants and theirs!"
"What was the result of the investigation?"
"A total of 69 people can be confirmed, 14 need to be further confirmed, and I don't know how many more have not been discovered."
"Sixty-nine, fourteen, it seems like a lot!"
"I have arranged for a special person to monitor Mo Yu. If anything happens, I will report it."
Su Ren nodded: "Be careful, Mo Yu's martial arts and vigilance are very high."
"Sir, don't worry. The person I'm arranging for is Gu Shang Sao. Although this person's martial arts skills are average, he is very good at lightness. He is the best at concealing his whereabouts and has obtained the True Inheritance of Timely Rain."
Su Ren smiled slightly: "I haven't heard from Shiyu for a long time, and I don't know what the situation is in the Xiongnu royal court now. If they don't send people to make peace, they might take risks. Tell Shiyu to monitor closely and report any changes immediately.
, we must not let the Huns easily climb the Great Wall!" (To be continued)
