There were only 3,000 Huns in Yanqi City, and they were notoriously not good at defending the city.Today, trapped in Yanqi, the hope of the Huns is all in the practice of Hu Wu.However, the Han people do not follow the rules!
Say yes to the witchcraft competition!
The old Hu Wu who was tired of defeating the Han army was nailed to death by the big yellow crossbow at the head of the city, and the illusion of defeating the "bull-headed ghost soldiers" with witchcraft was also shattered, and the morale of the Huns suddenly plummeted.The Huns were trapped on the city wall by the Han army and the Yanqi people, and they were either killed or captured for an hour, although the Yanqi people died a lot, but the Han army almost did not pay casualties.Han dared to break one of the horns on the chest.When the Yanqi King Longyang and the Cheshi Prince Junsu came to visit, Ren Hong smiled and helped them up: "From now on, the two are the Han Yan Qi King and the Han Cheshi King, and when the war is over, Chang'an will send an envoy to give the seal ribbon!"
”As soon as the military residence changed from a hostage of the Huns and a fallen prince to the king of the Cheshi, he was naturally overjoyed, and Ren Hong sent someone to escort him back to the Cheshi immediately, and stabilized the situation of the Cheshi together with Su You, who was appointed as the Minister of the Cheshi.As for Yanqi King Longyang, Ren Hong had heard that he had some small "hobbies", although it was disgusting, but now the Han army needs Yanqi, since Yanqi King took the initiative anyway, he didn't have time to care about him.Yanqi soil and fertile fields, the grain has rice and wheat, the livestock has camels and horses, go to Bosten Lake more than ten miles in the south, there are fish, salt and pu reeds, it is the base of the Han army to advance the royal court.And the fire-worshipping monk who served the king of Yanqi also came to visit, and the Chinese language was very slippery: "The villain's name is Shoot Bepantuo, but he is a native of Suxucheng in Sogdia, and he greets the Marquis of Xi'an for Shi Sabi." ”When it comes to Shi Bodao, what comes to Ren Hong's mind is actually the old Shi's women's clothes in Qiuzi City, warning him, and he actually has goosebumps on his arms.Ren Hong heard that Fu Jiezi, the capital of the Western Regions, had cooperated well with the Sogdians in recent years, and that the mutual market outside the Yumen Pass was getting bigger and bigger year by year, and that the capital could also ensure the safety of the Sogdian caravans in the north and south provinces, and even reduce the city tax and tariffs for those "friends of the Han Dynasty".In order to reduce taxes, the Sogdians had to act as eyeliner for the Duhufu, infiltrating the Yanqi, Cheshi, and even the Xiongnu region north of Baishan to seek information in the name of business.It's just that the Xiongnu are not stupid, and the Right Xian King and the Xianxian Shan sensed that something was wrong, expelled the Sogdians in the territory, and even sent people to loot the Sogdian caravans, which confirmed the name of the Xiongnu as "accomplices of the evil gods".Only the city was greedy for the goods brought by the Sogdians, and secretly received them.In the Sogdian language, shooting is the name of a god, and Pantuo means servant, and this Sogdian with a high nose and a thick beard is not a merchant, but a missionary, and how can he also come to Yanqi to be a spy?
Shoot Bepantuo said: "It is the king of Yanqi who is interested in the fire god, and invited me from Qiuzi to give a lecture, as for persuading the matter of anyway, the villain does not dare to take credit, in the words of Shi Sabi, for the good to eliminate the evil, only the light!"
”Ren Hong understood now, the rumors are really not nonsense, King Yanqi is indeed a little evil, if it is not passed down from generation to generation, how can normal human beings have brain cramps and convert to Zoroastrianism.Although the customs of these Zoroastrians are shocking, of course Ren Hong will not shout and kill them, after all, the Sogdians and the fire-worshipping monks are endorsing the Han army, and those Han people are bright and dark Huns, which Ren Hong instilled in Shi Bodao at the beginning, Shi Bodao naturally did not believe it, but helping the Han Dynasty was indeed beneficial to the Sogdian merchants, so why not?
Today, seeing that the seeds planted at the beginning have been harvested, Ren Hong's heart moved, and he thought of a more distant future.After saying goodbye, Ren Hong secretly shook his head: "Shi Bodao is already a hero among the Sogdians, and he is very visionary, and he cooperated with me early, but even he will be blinded by the silk interests in front of him." ”Today, the Sogdians and the fire-worshipping monks are desperately preaching in the Western Regions that the Han is the army of light chosen by the fire god for the sake of the incense bait of the silk market.Ten or twenty years later, when the red and yellow banner of the Han army crossed the green ridge and appeared in Uzbekistan, the Sogdian homeland, in the Transoxian-Chinese region, standing in front of the "golden peach of Samarkand"?
I'm afraid that the Sogdians will rejoice and welcome this "Knights of Light" from Chang'an, the city of light, and liberate them from the enslavement and vassalage of the Kangju and Yueshi people!
Anyway, as a secular dynasty, the Han Dynasty worshiped the gods of Taiyi and other gods, and the people worshipped whoever the gods were, and it was almost impossible to persecute the heretics like the Greek conquerors in the past, and the taxes were definitely lower than those of Kangju and Yueshi, so he must be the ideal ruler of the Sogdians.Thinking about it further, after all, Zoroastrianism has a long history, and it was once the state religion of the Persian Empire, and its influence in places such as Khorasan is still very great."
I heard that Alexander, who banished the Zoroastrian monks to the river, was the only human to share the title of Cursed with the dark gods."
Ren Hong couldn't help but think: "For the sake of good and evil, only for the sake of light."
When the Han Dynasty designates whoever is the accomplice of the evil gods who have been started in a holy war by all the fire worshippers and Zoroastrians, then it will be good. ”He smiled and looked at the west: "For example, rest in peace, or Great Qin?"
”The rest of the peace and the Great Qin are too far away, and the goal of the Han now is to dig up the Xiongnu mountain first.When the Han army camped in Yanqi for supplies, Ren Hong asked the captured Hun thousand cavalry commanders to escort them, without saying a word, they sat down on the case, and got on their traditional torture equipment tiger chair, which was a simple but not simple punishment, so painful that the thousand cavalry commander screamed, began to beg for mercy, and asked his mother Gui Geng was willing to say.Ren Hong asked Zhao Han'er to be the translator and carefully interrogated about the location of the Xiongnu kings and the progress of the Wusun War."
The people of the Ancestors Shan have really gathered in the court of the Sun Chase King!"
After confirming this, Ren Hong slapped his hands and laughed, he really guessed it, it seems that his plan is feasible.But as for the situation on the Wusun side, the Huns who were in Cheshi Tuntian on the order of King Youxian were not very clear, and they only knew that the Xiongnu were about to seize Yileshui.Xin Qingji was young, and when he heard Zhao Han'er start to interrogate the details of the Xiongnu Tuntian, he was surprised: "I thought that the Xiongnu would only raise livestock and not farm." ”"The Xiongnu are no longer the Xiongnu of a hundred years ago."
Yang Yun on the side said: "In the fourth year of Yuanzhen, General Wei attacked the Xiongnu in the north, and went to Zhaoxincheng in Yanshan, where the Xiongnu accumulated corn and ate the army.If the army stays for a day and returns, all the remaining millet in the city is burned, if it is not farming, Zhao Xincheng is very far away from the Western Regions and the Han Land, where does the corn come from?
”Probably since then, the Huns have begun to learn to farm, at first they used the "Qin people" taken from the Central Plains as serfs, and gradually some fertile land was used to reclaim the fields, and even the Huns also learned to pick a few hoes.By the time Li Guangli, the general of the Second Division, surrendered to the Xiongnu, agriculture had accounted for a large proportion of the Xiongnu economy, and the rain and snow for several months had caused the grain to be unripe, which had made Shan Yu very troubled.Yang Yun also discovered this, shook his head and said: "Don't say it, the Huns learned the Han Dynasty so quickly, Chang'an sent 4,000 tuntian soldiers to the Western Regions to guard the Western Regions, and the Xiongnu also made 4,000 cavalry fields in the chariot division to prepare war food for the right part."
The servant captain is also the messenger captain who imitates the filial piety, which is earlier than the Western Regions Protector.He is a person who loves to use his brain, and he fell into thought: "There is a saying in the Book of Rites, the north is called Di, the clothes and feathers live in caves, and there are people who do not eat grains."
In the West, it is said that Rong, who is clothed by the skin, and there are people who do not eat grains.And now Xiqiang farms and eats grain, and so does the Xiongnu, and it is probably unreliable to distinguish Rong Di by whether it is grain food or not. ”Ren Hong said with a smile: "The Book of Rites is the vision of five hundred years ago, how can it be used to see the world today?"
Wouldn't that be the same as the Chu people carving a boat and asking for a sword. ”Every nation and country is constantly learning and changing, and what does not change will long be extinct.The Xiongnu is worthy of being a great country of a hundred barbarians, and can compete with the Han Dynasty for more than 100 years, the cohesion is beyond imagination, and the learning ability is indeed good.It is no wonder that the Southern Xiongnu arrived in the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms rapidly sinicized and became the first group of Wuhu to establish political power in the Central Plains.Thinking of this, Ren Hong couldn't help but be afraid, if the Han Dynasty did not produce a Han Wu Emperor, he attacked the Xiongnu in one go, and took Henan and Hexi, which are suitable for farming, to build the Great Wall.Rather, what will happen if it continues the policy of Jingshi and has been appeased until now?
Maybe the Xiongnu relied on the farming techniques they learned, relying on the land of Henan and Hexi, and they had become a strengthened version of the Great Liao, and the strong Han instead became the iron-blooded strong Song who humiliated Nagong for a hundred years, "Fortunately, there is Emperor Xiaowu." ”Ren Hong is glad that although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has many problems, which are criticized to future generations, the longer he stays in this era, the more he can feel that he has changed the Han Dynasty!
Such an emperor has not yet been on the temple number, which really makes Ren Hong feel a little unfair for Han Wuming.At this time, Zhao Han'er interrogated new information from the mouth of the thousand cavalry commanders."
He said that not only the Che Master, but also the Huns also have a lot of tuntian in the right land, which is the strategy of Mr.
Wu next to the Right Xian King!"
Han Dangdang was stunned when he heard this: "Junhou, the Mr.
Wu in this bureaucracy's mouth is not the deputy envoy of Loulan who accompanied the Marquis of Yiyang with us, Wu Zongnian?"
”Lao Han's voice was too loud, and he couldn't keep it a secret, Ren Hong didn't answer, but Zhao Han'er was angry with Ren Hong in advance, and couldn't help but show doubts, after the interrogation, he walked to Ren Hong's side and whispered: "Junhou, why did Wu Zongnian want to give King Youxian a plan to offer Tuntian, could it be that he is no longer a fake surrender, but a real surrender?"
