King Xiutu was very unhappy after being taken advantage of by Su Ren. The purpose of Su Ren's desire to keep the Qiang people was to guard the Yumen and stop his idea of seizing the Yumen. But he is not falling out with Su Ren yet.
At that time, no matter what, we had to wait until Yumen improved. With his ability to kill King Xiu, he thought that there was no way for Yumen to become a node for trade between the Western Regions and the Han Dynasty.
When Su Ren came in, King Xiutu became even more angry. He glared at Su Ren and turned away and ignored him. Su Ren smiled and sat opposite King Xiutu: "What's going on, Your Majesty? Who makes Your Majesty angry?"
Already? Tell me, I will send someone to avenge the king!"
"snort!"
Su Ren opened the wine jar in his hand, and the aroma of wine filled the room. King Xiutu had never smelled such strong wine, let alone drank it. The Huns were a nation on horseback, and it was bitterly cold in the north.
Huns who don’t know how to drink are not considered Huns. The most popular wine among the Huns is mare’s milk, and being able to drink the wine of the Han people is already considered a status. And the wine in Su Ren’s hand, King Xiutu could smell it, and it was definitely not an ordinary product.
.
He poured a glass for King Xiutu and said: "This wine has a very rustic name, it's called Menduo Donkey. Even a donkey can get drunk with one sip of it, so the king should be careful and don't get drunk all at once. I have something to talk to the king about when I come down."
Discuss, let’s do it!”
King Xiutu glanced at Su Ren, raised his head and drank the wine. There seemed to be a ball of fire sliding down his throat into his stomach, then churning in his stomach, spreading to every joint in his body, and extending to his little toes.
After that, the fire still did not disappear, and turned upward several times, and all of it got into his head. King Xiutu's face turned red, and big drops of sweat came out on his forehead. His whole body tensed up, and he tried hard with his mouth closed.
endure it.
Of course Su Ren knew what he meant by drinking something with an alcohol content of about 50 degrees. The Huns were good at drinking wine, but they usually drank the same koumiss as the drink, and suddenly a glass of vodka would make them feel better.
Weird. Su Rennei spoke, took a sip and sat opposite King Xiutu, watching quietly.
After holding it in for a long time, he finally let the breath slowly come over. He opened his mouth and let out a long breath. King Xiutu punched the table: "Good wine! It's so strong!"
Su Ren filled up King Xiu Tu with a smile. He really admired King Xiu Tu. He drank a large cup and still didn't get drunk. You must know that this was the only thing that invited Li Danghu, Wei Qing and others back then.
, everyone who could drink two cups, those few had drank Erguotou at 20 or 30 degrees Celsius at Su Ren’s house.
"Your Majesty, you really have a good capacity for drinking! I admire you, I have never drank this wine so much."
King Xiutu sneered: "Since I'm not drunk, tell me, what's the matter?"
Su Ren smiled: "There are tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses. I wonder if the king is interested?"
King Xiutu chuckled and said: "You want to take advantage of the Qiang people? But I remember that you promised those Qiang people that as long as they are unwilling to stay in Yumen, you will never embarrass them. Why do you regret it?"
Su Rendao: "Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. Although I am a merchant, I am also a man of his word. Since I have said it, it must be true. I promised the Qiang people that I would not embarrass them and I would never embarrass them. That's why I came here."
After discussing with the king, wouldn’t the king have any idea when he sees the large herd of cattle, sheep and horses outside the city?”
King Xiutu stared at Su Ren for a long time: "Of course you have ideas, but don't forget that although there are tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses outside the city, there are also tens of thousands of Qiang people, including thousands of cavalry. If you want to win
It’s not easy for them.”
"Does your Majesty want me to make a price?"
King Xiutu shook his head: "No, I am King Xiutu of the Xiongnu. Whatever I do will be based on the interests of my great Xiongnu. I will never do anything for outsiders. Attacking these Qiang people will only get some cattle, sheep and horses. At the same time
They will also add tens of thousands of enemies to us, and I will never do such a stupid thing!"
“What if we only want horses and livestock but not people?”
"Hiss!" King Xiutu took a breath and looked at Su Ren again. He did not expect to be able to say such words from Su Ren. He knew that Su Ren was a general of the Han Dynasty, and he also knew that Su Ren was responsible for the Battle of Mayi.
He planned it, but he didn't expect that the frail young man in front of him would be so cruel: "Those are tens of thousands of women and children, not tens of thousands of sheep!"
Su Ren picked up the wine glass and took a sip: "Your Majesty, you misunderstood. What I meant was that Your Majesty took the livestock away, and the rest can be given to me, or they can stay where they are and I will send people to take them back. The ones that are missing in the new construction of Yumen are
People, a city without people is a dead city, and a dead city will never have the chance to develop and grow!"
King Xiutu finally understood what Su Ren meant. He wanted people, but he couldn't break his original promise. He looked at tens of thousands of homeless Qiang people walking by, and then looked back at the empty city behind him.
No one will just watch this group of people leave. How to keep the Qiang people is a technical job. If the people from the Western Regions grind them little by little, then this group of Qiang people will be useless. The only way is to find an extremely powerful person to cut them off quickly.
The only hope left by the Qiang people is the best way to keep them.
In addition, King Xiutu knew that Su Ren had another purpose. When he took away the last hope of the Qiang people, after Su Ren took over these Qiang people, the surviving Qiang people would record all their hatred on the Huns.
It is very likely that Yumen will eventually become a place dominated by the Qiang people. In the future, if the Huns try to take Yumen, they will encounter unprecedented resistance.
After looking at Su Ren, King Xiutu said: "Mr. Su probably doesn't want to see those Qiang leaders again, right?"
Su Ren smiled and nodded: "It would be best if it can be solved at once. If you can't wait slowly, I can afford to wait."
This sentence made King Xiutu stunned for a long time. Yes, Su Ren is still young, not yet thirty years old, but what about himself? With gray hair and sluggish spirit, how many days can he live? The next generation of the Xiongnu will
Either they are busy killing each other, or they have been tamed by Su Ren. Could it be that the end of the Xiongnu is just around the corner, but why? How many years has it been since the Xiongnu were unified?
King Xiutu slowly closed his eyes. The high alcohol content made him a little dizzy. He could only lean on the pillar behind him to relieve the dizziness in front of him: "I have done such a great favor for Mr. Su. How can Mr. Su give me so much help?"
What are you talking about? Since it’s cooperation, I won’t pay attention to the tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and livestock.”
Su Ren smiled and gave King Xiutu a thumbs up: "Your Majesty is indeed a great king, and he thinks carefully. Although I can't guarantee anything to you now, I will definitely see benefits in the future. The population of the Xiutu tribe is not the largest among the Xiongnu.
, the territory is not the best either. This time the king did not follow Yi Zhixie's order to send troops. I think as long as Yi Zhixie is driven away by Shan, it will be the king who has to deal with it. I can guarantee that when the time comes, I will not sit back and wait for death.
"
King Xiutu also laughed, and he smiled disdainfully: "Mr. Su, do you think you are optimistic about Yi Zhixie?"
"Don't you think the king is optimistic?"
King Xiutu shook his head: "Since Yi Zhixie is the final winner, I will send troops now, why wait until the future?"
"no the same!"
"What's the difference?"
"It is true that Yi Zhixie can become a Chanyu of the Huns, but how long can he be a Chanyu, can't the king see it? If the king becomes Yi Zhixie's confidant, then there will be no room for maneuver.
I admire King Hunxie at all. Your Majesty, you can see that King Hunxie is always quiet. This is the best way to deal with this Xiongnu crisis."
King Xiutu narrowed his eyes: "Are you saying that I made a mistake in allowing you to build a city here?"
Su Ren shook his head again and said: "Yes, it is right for the king and me, but it is wrong in the eyes of your future new chanyu. The king and I, a Han, are so close, I am afraid your new chanyu will not
Easily forgotten."
"You!" King Xiutu suddenly sat up, feeling dizzy immediately. He held on to the pillar for a long time without regaining consciousness: "You have known this all along, and you are telling me now just to blackmail me?"
Su Ren took a sip of wine and said, "Threats are out of the question. When we built the city, you and I discussed it. I neither forced nor threatened the king. Who can say for sure what will happen in the future? Maybe Yu Shan will win in the end.
, seeing that he and I are friends, I won’t embarrass the king, what do you think?”
No longer paying attention to King Xiutu, Su Ren slowly stood up and left the house. King Xiutu's men did not stop him. This is Yumen. The few people brought by King Xiutu cannot make a big splash. If something happens to Su Ren here,
, none of them wanted to leave alive, including their king. For their own safety and the safety of the king, the guards did not act rashly, and their king did not order them to stop anyone.
Su Ren left, and King Xiutu fell head over heels. The power of high-alcohol wine was very powerful. When King Xiutu woke up, it was already noon the next day. Today, Yumen was particularly nervous. After calling his guards in for questioning, King Xiutu found out.
Those Qiang people who were unwilling to stay were crossing the border today. They stumbled up the city wall. There were already many people on the city wall, including Han people, people from the Western Regions, Huns, and the remaining Qiang people. No matter where they were, there was now one
Everyone was very vigilant. No matter what they were holding, they all held it tightly and looked at the city with vigilance.
Su Ren, fluttering in white clothes, stood at the highest point of the city wall, looking at the group of people below the city with a smile. King Xiutu did not go there, and he no longer wanted to pay attention to the seemingly harmless devil.
The Qiang people left reluctantly, especially the women and children who walked at the end. Many of these people wanted to stay, but their leaders and leaders were unwilling to stay, so they had to move on. The Qiang people's team
It was still very large, and each carriage moved very slowly. Hundreds of herdsmen holding long poles galloped on their horses, gathering the rolling livestock to follow the team.
A southeasterly wind blew up, blowing the smoke kicked up by the livestock, and the people on the city wall became disgraced. Erma happened to see this scene, and a smile finally appeared on his frosty face. (To be continued)
