What is the most ferocious and cruel thing on the grassland? Of course, it is the wolves. Even the brave tigers or the powerful bears will retreat when they encounter the wolves. However, the wolves are not the only cooperative animals on the grassland.
There is another animal in the world that is even more shameless and cunning than wolves, and that is the hyena.
Due to their size and physical strength, hyenas are not as strong as tigers or bears, nor as strong as wolves, nor as cunning as foxes. However, hyenas have a stomach that cannot be matched by any animal. The stomach of hyenas is the most powerful of all animals.
Not only can they digest everything including bones and hair, but they also have strong immunity. Even if a stone passes through the hyena's stomach, what comes out is stone water.
In addition, hyenas never hunt, they always follow the wolves. If the wolves are strong, they will watch from a distance. After the wolves have eaten and drunk enough, they will go up to eat some leftovers. If the wolves are
When the pack is gone, the hyenas will swarm up, snatch the food from the wolves' mouths, and then attack the wolves. This is a hyena, an animal without any morality or loyalty.
The Huns claim to be the descendants of the Sirius God, and they are the well-deserved wolves on the grassland. The Huns are brave and good at fighting. In the past, they plundered a large amount of resources and people from the border counties of Han Dynasty every year to fill their deficit. After the Huns passed away, Wu
Huan, Xianbei, Fuyu, Goguryeo and other vassal states of the Huns followed in the footsteps of the Huns and plundered the Han Dynasty again. However, they were not as brave as the Huns and did not dare to attack the Han Dynasty where the Huns had not set foot. They could only pick up some
The leftovers left behind by the Huns. They were already very happy with this. Every year they would send people to pay tribute to the Xiongnu Chanyu, claiming to be Huns.
But now, the situation has changed. Just when Su Ren was preparing to encircle and annihilate the Xiongnu army, envoys from Wuhuan and Xianbei arrived at Yanmen Pass. They did not notify them in advance, let alone send anyone to contact them, and they were less than five days away from Yanmen Pass.
While inside, he suddenly waved his own flag, shouted that he was the envoy of Wuhuan and Xianbei, and asked to see the hussar general of the Han Dynasty.
Looking at the so-called Credentials, Su Ren smiled and threw the thin sheepskin Credentials on the table: "What the hell is this written on? Han is not Han, Hun is not Hun, those crooked words inside are just like that."
Just like an insect crawling over it, is this also called a certificate of credence? Can their tiny place be called a country?"
Han Qingdao: "When the Xiongnu military official Chanyu defeated Donghu, some Donghu people moved to the foot of Wuhuan Mountain, so they named themselves after Wuhuan Mountain, and Wuhuan came into being; and Xianbei also originated from Donghu, and belonged to the part that retreated north after being defeated by the Xiongnu
, speaking of which Wuhuan and Xianbei people are both descendants of Donghu, and Fuyu and Yilou all belong to Donghu. After Donghu was destroyed, they all started to stand on their own. Only then did more than ten tribes in the north of the Xiongnu appear. After so many years of fighting against each other, the Xiongnu
People use the method of supporting the weak and weakening the strong to control them, but now that the Huns themselves have too much to take care of themselves, it is natural that they cannot control these guys. They should come with sincerity this time."
"Sincerity? How did you see that?" Su Ren knew how the tragedy of the Five Hus in later generations came about. If it weren't for the Han people's connivance towards the Hu people, then there would have been situations where the Han people were manipulated by the Hu people in several dynasties in the future? So?
, as a Han Chinese, Su Ren strongly rejects all Hu people.
"At least he won't be our enemy, right?"
"It's not true now, but it won't be easy to say in the future!" Su Ren picked up the credentials again and sighed: "Hey! In the current situation, we are tied up by the Huns, and we can't get away for a while to deal with this gang.
You idiot, let’s see what they want! Go and let those two so-called messengers in.”
Soon, two envoys who looked more like beggars walked into Su Ren's military mansion respectfully. In appearance, the Wuhuan envoy and the Xianbei envoy looked very similar, with yellow eyes, curly hair, and tall height.
The nose and the beard on the face are more like those guys in later generations who have thick white cloth wrapped around their heads. They are completely devoid of the elegance and handsomeness of the Han people.
After the two of them finished their salute, Su Ren looked at the two of them up and down for a long time: "Which one of you is the Wuhuan envoy? Who is the Xianbei envoy?"
The taller guy on the left put his hand on his chest and said, "General, Kubuli is the commander of King Wuhuan, and he is also the envoy sent by our king to your country this time."
The other one also quickly saluted and said: "General, I am Ruoluo, the commander-in-chief of King Xianbei, and the envoy sent by King Xianbei to your country."
"King Wuhuan? King Xianbei? Who named him?"
The two guys asked by Su Ren didn't know how to answer. If they said it was granted by the Huns, then the Han Dynasty would naturally not admit it. Moreover, the Xiongnu had been forced into a desperate situation by the Han Dynasty. In the future, the Huns would definitely become more and more
The worse it is, otherwise they wouldn't come here. If it is self-proclaimed, it would be really shameless. How could the Han people not know what virtues they had in the past?
"Your Excellency General, this time we come with absolute sincerity and hope to be recognized by His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. We, King Wuhuan, promise to form a permanent alliance with the Han Dynasty to support each other. In addition, we have sent troops to attack the Xiongnu. Of course, I
Wuhuan is weak and has very limited strength. We also hope that the Emperor of the Han Dynasty can provide some food and grass for the sake of our fight against the brutal Xiongnu. It doesn't need to be too much, just five hundred dan!" Kubri said very humbly, describing himself as
His waist was bent very deeply.
Ruoluo said quickly: "We Xianbei mean the same thing. As long as the Emperor of the Han Dynasty also provides us with five hundred stones of food and grass, we, the Xianbei warriors, will be the first to set foot on the Xiongnu land. We will not stop until we kill all the cruel Huns."
"Haha." Su Ren chuckled: "Five hundred stones, well, it's not much!"
When Kubri and Ruoluo heard this, they looked at each other with joy on their faces.
Su Ren then asked: "How many troops are you, Wuhuan and Xianbei, planning to send?"
Kubri said: "My king has decided to send three thousand troops!"
Ruoluo also followed suit: "We will also send three thousand troops."
"Hahaha..." Su Ren laughed: "Three thousand, three thousand is really a lot. It is as much as the county soldiers of our Han Dynasty. We will provide five hundred stones of food and grass, and you will provide three thousand soldiers and horses. This deal is very
It’s appropriate, but I don’t know when you will send troops?”
"As soon as the food and fodder for the Han Dynasty arrives, my king will immediately send troops!"
"Very good! In fact, I can promise you this. Isn't it just one thousand stones of food and grass? For us big men, it is just a drop in the bucket." Su Ren pondered for a while: "Otherwise, we will give each of you five thousand stones.
Shi Liangcao, how about each of you sending 30,000 troops?"
Kubri thought for a moment: "I will report this to my king, there should be no problem."
"Very good, very good! It seems that you two are very sincere! I, the general, will tell the truth. The Huns are already like grasshoppers in the autumn and can only crawl around for a few days. Don't talk about three thousand or five thousand."
, tell the truth, how many troops can be used to besiege the Huns with us? As long as the price is right, food and grass matters are not a problem at all. What I, Su Ren, did before, you two must also know very well, even if our Majesty does not agree, as a Han general
In order to completely destroy the Xiongnu country, I am willing to bear all the responsibility for the crime, as long as you can sincerely work with me to fight against the Xiongnu."
"This..." Kubri glanced at Ruoluo.
Ruoluo said: "General, are you really willing to pay so much food and grass?"
Su Ren nodded.
"How about one hundred thousand troops?"
"That's right! This is how we look like we are cooperating! Think about when you followed the Huns to harass our Han people, when did you have less than 50,000 soldiers and horses? Wuhuan has a total of 173 tribes, with a total of nine soldiers and horses
Ten thousand; what about Xianbei? A little more, there are 120,000 troops and horses. Three thousand troops and horses are too insincere. I think they are all included, a total of 210,000 troops and horses, leaving you with 200,000 troops for defense.
Is it a very good figure?" Su Renyue said, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he looked more cynical: "I will also offer you a flat price of 500,000 stones of food and grass, and I will deliver 10% of it within three days. You should go back immediately and report to your king to send troops."
"this……"
"That's it! But let's talk about it earlier. If I gave you food and grass but you didn't send troops, then don't blame me for going to get back what we big men deserve."
"What does the general want?" Kubri asked warily.
Su Ren smiled: "It doesn't matter. You must have robbed a lot of things from our big men over the years. It is only natural to pay back debts!"
"you!"
"Haha, what I said is just what if, you two don't have to be afraid! As long as we follow our agreement, I believe we will still be friends, right?" Su Ren smiled and winked mischievously: "You two
I have come all the way from afar. As a landowner, I have prepared a banquet. Please help yourself. The war to encircle and annihilate the Xiongnu has begun. I, the general, are busy with military affairs and cannot accompany you. I am really sorry. Come, please come down.
Rest!”
Before the two of them could speak again, Huang Shisan and Man Niu, one holding a big ax and the other holding a big sword, stared at Kubri and Ruoluo with fierce faces, and hummed the word "please" with a heavy nasal voice. Kubuli
Seeing this scene, He Ruoluo didn't dare to say anything more, and Shili followed Huang Shisan and Man Niu out of the lobby.
As soon as the two people left, Han Qing couldn't help but ask: "Sir, aren't you afraid of angering these two people and making Wuhuan and Xianbei completely fall to the Xiongnu?"
Su Ren sneered: "Are you going to fall early? When the Huns harassed us, they also harassed us. Speaking of which, the enemies of our Han Dynasty are not only the Huns. Since they can come, it means that they do not think highly of the Huns, so
They will not follow the Huns."
"The general is really going to give them five hundred thousand stones of food and grass?"
"Here! As long as they can really send 100,000 troops to attack the Xiongnu, what's the harm with 500,000 stones of food and grass? Sooner or later they will spit it out!"
Han Cheng smiled bitterly: "General, this is how you use the means of making friends from far away and attacking at close range to the extreme!"
"As long as it works well! Just wait and see, as soon as Wuhuan and Xianbei send out troops, the end of the Xiongnu will come."
"What if they don't send troops?"
"It's better this way. As long as they remain neutral, when we destroy the Huns, they will be the ones to turn against us. Who told them not to keep their promise?" (To be continued)
