In the spring of the first year of Jingning in 67 BC, the Xiongnu mission had already left Wuyuansai under the escort of the Han army.After crossing the Great Wall of Wuyuan, the prosperous markets and towns that I saw along the way for more than a month disappeared, and the flat grassland stretched infinitely.But this does not mean that they left the Han realm, along the way still from time to time to see scattered farmland and beacon small yi, this is known as the "five original countries" of the area, used to settle the Xiongnu surrenderers, the Xiongnu internal struggle is extremely fierce, every year there are frustrated nobles or herdsmen who can't survive due to disasters to vote, such as last autumn, the Xiongnu Xihu land has thousands of people to drive livestock to the south to descend to the Han.In the words of Huhan's evil brother Zhizhi Hutu Wusi: "They have changed from free yellow sheep to captive domestic sheep." ”No matter what kind of sheep, where there is fat grass to migrate, the Xiongnu nobles and people voted with their feet, willing to be domestic animals.The five original subject countries are indeed very much like a sheepfold, its northern boundary is the Great Wall outside the five plains, but the control of the Han people far beyond this line, straight to Yinshan, there are still strongholds such as "surrendered city" outside the Saiwai, build a fortress, set up a pavilion tunnel, build an outer city, set up a garrison to defend it, and prevent the Huns from crossing the Yinshan to the south.More than 1,000 miles from the east and west of Yinshan Mountain, lush vegetation, many birds and beasts, here is the birthplace of the Xiongnu, the head of the city is located nearby, Mao Dunshan Yu has been more dependent on it, the rule is the bow and arrow, laid the foundation of this hundred barbarian powers, is the garden of the Xiongnu.Decades ago, forced by the prosperity of the Han army, the Xiongnu moved Shan Yuting north to Mobei, and did not dare to go south to herd horses, so the Xiongnu delegation to the Han Dynasty when they could come to the hometown to have a look, according to the rules, they did not cry.However, the good news is that in order to show the sincerity of "Jing Ning", when they arrived, they happened to meet the 3,000 Han soldiers who were guarding the surrendered city and withdrew to the Senei, and the Han envoy who escorted them to the north said: "This is the Son of Heaven who wants to quit the outer city to rest the people." ”"The Emperor of the Han Dynasty is really sincere about asking for peace talks."
Hu Hanyi became more and more determined in this thought, and all the way he thought about how to convince him after meeting his father, it was very difficult for the proud Da Shan Yu to bow his head to the emperor of the Han Dynasty.But the situation was indeed very unfavorable to the Xiongnu, although Zhizhi quelled Ding Ling's rebellion, and Da Shan Yu personally repelled the invasion of Wuhuan, but the right side has lost most of it, and the Xiaoyue clan occupied the Pu Sea, and cooperated with the Beiting Han army to contain the Right Xian Wang.After the two disasters of black and white, the Xiongnu fought for many years, the national strength was greatly reduced, there were many livestock deaths, and famine was the norm.Last year, the Han generals Zhao Chongguo and Fu Jiezi stranded troops in Shuofang, so that the Xiongnu had to transfer two tuns and 10,000 cavalry each, stationed north of Yinshan to prepare for the Han.The commanders of these 20,000 horsemen were Zuo Da and Qu and Hulu Zi Wang, who killed cattle and slaughtered sheep to entertain Weiyang and Hu Han evil, and inquired about what they had seen and heard in Han.King Huluzi was very interested in the Han Dynasty and did not want to fight, while Zuo Da and Qu were hostile, and when he heard that the Han army had withdrawn from the surrendered city, he even clamored to demolish the city.Full of wine and meat, using fish bones to pick teeth out of the felt tent, Hu Han evil horse galloping near the camp, although in the Han land is rich in material, but there are also disadvantages, that is, you can't indulge in galloping.When he galloped to the vicinity of the low house where the slaves lived, Hu Hanye noticed that more than 100 slaves who were only worthy of gnawing on the stinky cheese and drinking wild vegetable soup were gathering in the first phase, kneeling on the ground and worshipping something.Hu Han Xie was curious, and asked his subordinates to push away the gathered slaves in the past, but he saw that what they worshipped was a small stone figure placed on the grass, looking like a Hu man from the Western Regions, in a sitting posture, "What is this?"
”Hu Han Xie looked at the stone statue of the size of the human head, the Huns worshiped many gods, headed by Qilian God, followed by the ancestors, the earth and mountains, ghosts and gods, in the past in the Hexi Xiu Tu Department also sacrificed to the sky with gold people, but this statue was never seen by Hu Han Evil.The slaves trembled and said it was a "Buddha".When he returned to the felt tent, Zuo Da and Qu said that he knew about the gods."
It is from the right land, and it is the god worshipped in the Western Regions."
The Xiongnu were vast, and many of them had migrated from the Western Regions, such as the Wuchan Shogunate, the wife of Hu Han Evil, or the people of the Evil Country, who had become ethnic slaves, and after they joined the Xiongnu Great Tribal Alliance, they also brought their own beliefs and worship, which is not surprising."
There was a great Xia man who called himself the Milanta Shamen, and he was walking all over the place, and everywhere he went, he disciplined the slaves for the elders, saying that he was promoting the Dharma and leaving a Buddha statue when he left.Strange to say, after those slaves worshiped the Buddha statue, they became much more honest. ”The teachings of Buddhism were unattractive to the upper strata of the Xiongnu, and for the slaves at the bottom and the herdsmen struggling on the line of famine, it was chicken soup for the soul that was doomed to hopelessness in this life, and only sought the next life.In addition, the little Saman Miranda himself had been a slave, so the Dharma was neutral in the slave group, and their simple food was much in line with the five precepts of Buddhism.Hu Han Xie did not care too much about this "Dharma", and did not know where Namiranda went to preach on foot in the Xiongnu, so he only continued to hurry north, and arrived at the Xiongnu's sacred land of worship, Yucheng, where Xulu Quanqu Shan had moved to prepare for the conference in May.Although the name is called the city, in fact, it is just a circle around the big tent of the sacrifice of heaven and earth, the place of sacrifice is located on the top of the mountain, at the foot of the mountain pile stones to build an altar, and often set up willow branches on it, although it is still early in May, but there are already some tribes who have arrived here, worship the sacrifice of horses, cattle and sheep, circle around it, sacrifice to the gods and the earth, pray for the happiness of the people, the prosperity of livestock, the sickness is far away, etc., and then usually carry out horse races, horns and so on to entertain the gods.The original location of the city was southern, and it was burned down by Wei Qing, which made him famous, and now moved to Mobei, in the war of the Yuan Ting year, the three Han armies did not arrive.The Huns regarded it as the blessing of the Qilian gods and ancestors, and the sacrifices were more diligent, and even human animals were used.When Hu Han Xie entered the Golden Horde, he found that his half-brother, who was named "King of Zuo Gu Li" by his father, and Hu Tu Wu Si Zhi Zhizhi, who had reconquered Ding Ling, was also inside, drinking and laughing, but after Xing Weiyang and Hu Han Xie came in, the laughter stopped.Zhi Zhi looked at Hu Han Evil, his eyes were not good, in the past, the two brothers were quite harmonious after competition, but with the establishment of the Xulu Quanqu, Zhi Zhi, who had outstanding military achievements, did not get the position of King Zuoxian, and he was slightly dissatisfied in his heart.Xulu Quanqu Shan was in his forties, wearing a turquoise-inlaid Shan Yu eagle crown, he not only inherited the position of his half-brother's Da Shan Yu, but also accepted many of his Yan clans.Shan Yu admired his wise son Hu Han Xie very much, and this time Hu Han Xie took the initiative to ask to follow Xing Weiyang to the Han Dynasty to find out the truth, which required courage, after all, it was common for the two sides to detain envoys from each other.Da Shan Yu clapped his hands and let them sit down: "I knew that King Hao Su and King Zuo Xian would definitely be able to bring back good news!"
”Xulu Quanqu Shan Yu just learned that the Han Dynasty had withdrawn the troops from the surrendered city outside the fortress, thinking that this was the credit of the two.Hao Su Wang Xingweiyang was a little apprehensive, but he called Han evil wit, and first boasted about the results they had achieved in entering the Han Dynasty, such as the Han Dynasty took the initiative to withdraw the soldiers from the outer city, and changed the name of the year to "Jingning", which means border tranquility and should be sincere soldiers.In the end, Xing Weiyang stammered that the Han Dynasty refused to make peace and wanted peace, and there was only one condition: Da Shan would enter the dynasty next year and be called a vassal domain.The face of the Void Quan Qu Shan Yu collapsed all of a sudden.After the battle of Mobei, the Han Dynasty thought that it had defeated the Xiongnu, and repeatedly tried to make Shan Yu submit, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had personally patrolled the border in Shuofang, and extorted 180,000 soldiers, and the envoy informed Shan Yu that he would be a minister to the Han in the south early, and the son of the Xiongnu wanted to continue to be brothers with the Han, but the Han Dynasty wanted to be the father of the Xiongnu!
This obviously can't be discussed, but at that time, the Han Dynasty had destroyed the Liangyue, annexed Korea, and passed through the Yueshi and Daxia to the west, and used the wife of Weng Wang, King Wusun, to share the aid of the Xiongnu from the west.Uwei Shan knew that he was invincible, so he could only humbly ask for peace, pretending to say that he would send King Zuo Xian into the Han Dynasty, and after two years, he said that he did not need King Zuo Xian to go, and he himself entered Han to see the Son of Heaven and became brothers.However, after a few years of delay, the Xiongnu relieved themselves, and they entered the fortress again, and the peace talks collapsed.Like Uwei Shan Yu, Xulu Quan Qu Shan Yu just wants to be with Han Xuan and the snake, recuperate from the horses, practice shooting, and it is worth sending a princess to the Han Dynasty for this purpose, but if he wants to be a real minister?
No way!
Before Da Dan Yu was furious, Zuogu Liwang Zhizhi changed color, opened the case, and scolded angrily: "Hu Zhixian, who has the strength to serve, and fights immediately for the country, so he has a reputation for the hundred barbarians."
Although the Han is strong, it still can't annex the Xiongnu, King Hao Su, why do you want to mess with the ancient system, and want Hu Chen to do things in the Han, humiliate the first and be laughed at by all countries!
In this way, even if he seeks temporary stability, how can Hu order the barbarians in the future?
”Xing Weiyang was speechless, in the relationship with the Han, there was a split within the Xiongnu, he and the right Xian Wang, the left Xian Wang Hu Han evil are all advocating compromise and peace with the Han, Zhizhi and Zuo Da and Qu have a tough attitude, regardless of the Han strong and the Xiongnu are weak, blindly want to fight to the end, translated into Chinese is: "The Great Xiongnu do not make peace with their relatives, do not pay compensation, do not cede land, do not pay tribute, do not call ministers, the virtuous king guards the country, and he is only in the city of death!"
”Xulu Quanqu Shan Yu has been persuaded by Xing Weiyang and others, hoping for peace talks, but now seeing that he can't get along with the Han Dynasty, his attitude is biased towards Zhizhi, although the Xiongnu took the initiative to attack and the competition in the Western Regions lost, but if he can lure the Han army deeper, he may have a chance to turn over the battle.Hu Han Xie bowed down and said: "Da Danyu, strong and weak sometimes, now the Han Dynasty is prosperous, and all the countries of Wusun City and Guo are concubines."
Since the first single Yu, the Huns have been cutting day by day, twenty years!
In the past 20 years, he has not been able to win a single battle, has been defeated repeatedly, and has lost the Western Regions again, and the subordinate states have rebelled.When he went south into the Han Dynasty, he saw that the Han people were strong in soldiers and horses, the city was rich, and the Xiongnu had no strength to fight, but the Han people did!
Once the war is fought again, although it is stubborn for a while, it will be difficult to compete with the Han. ”Zhi Zhi immediately scolded: "What does King Zuo Xian mean is to agree to the request of the Han people and let Da Dan Yu go south to pay tribute to the young Han Emperor?"
”As long as Hu Han Xie dares to nod, this weak son of Shan Yu will be spurned by the kings of the Huns and lose his support."
No!"
Hu Han said: "The peace talks between the two countries are the same as the trading of Hu merchants in the Western Regions, they are all bargaining, and it takes several times to complete the transaction. ”Peace talks or struggle, the two routes determine the future national fortunes of the Xiongnu, but also determine the fate of him and Zhizhi, Hu Han evil does not have the courage and good fighting of his half-brother, in order to sit firmly on the throne of Zuo Xianwang, can only be on the other road, gamble!"
Zuoxian Wang Ji Hou Shan, next year I am willing to take Da Dan Yu into Han as a hostage!
In exchange for ten years of respite and stability in Mobei!
”In the spring and February of the first year of Jingning, just after finishing the spring ploughing work, he hurriedly ran to the Jingzhao Iron Official Workshop to inspect the work of the Dasi Nong Ren Hong, who was ready to show off his pitiful knowledge of steel smelting, but when he saw the scene in front of him, he did not say anything for a long time.Because the thirteen oval iron-making furnaces that were smoking in front of him were the "blast furnaces" he wanted the iron officials to promote.This is embarrassing, it turns out that Guanzhong is more advanced than Hexi Biansai, that is, in the past two years, some iron official workshops have actually used small blast furnaces to make iron, who invented it!
Ren Hong could only put away the draft prepared before, redraft the draft in his stomach, search his intestines and scrape his belly, and see what else could his leader "come to guide" the iron officials, which was the water row drum that only appeared in the Eastern Han Dynasty?
Or is it coke ironmaking that would only exist in the Song Dynasty?
You have to say something, otherwise it's too shameless.A large group of officials and craftsmen held the moon in this way, silently accompanying the great Sima to stand, accompanied by the iron officials and slaves to send charcoal into the blast furnace little by little, and drove the donkeys to pull the wind with animal power, and the surrounding heat began to increase.Even Da Sima's forehead couldn't help but sweat, and he didn't know whether it was excitement or a pain in his head, although they stood far away, they could still feel the majestic power surging in the thirteen iron furnaces.This power is iron.This power is steel!
