A bloody head was placed in front of Ratun. "I packed this in a box and sent it to the emperor of the Han Dynasty."

I have to say that this Zhang Chun came at the right time. He thought to himself.

Since the news of his uncle Qiu Liju's death came back to Wuhuan in Liaoxi, all the Wuhuan tribes have become ready to move. The chieftains began to become strong and arrogant, and the orders of the Wuhuan court began to be perfunctory.

Of course, they are not the most hateful, the most hateful are the old people in the royal court, that is, the old people of their grandparents. Since my uncle came to power, these elders have been deprived of their rights and raised them, but as soon as my uncle died, they stood up and made waves again.

Say that the khan is dead, and the new khan should be elected as soon as possible to lead Wuhuan, and Lou Ban is the son of the khan, so he is the most suitable candidate. Lou Ban is only six years old, and it's very clear what these old immortals are thinking. The Khan was young, and those who had lost power could take advantage of the opportunity to take power.

The people of the Han Dynasty didn't learn those good things, but they learned these crooked ways. It's unbelievable that they have won a large number of supporters with such a clamour.

What kind of place is the grassland, the place where the weak eat the strong and the fittest survive, and the tribe led by a child and a group of old people is not pedantic and conservative and cowardly. It won't be long before they will be swallowed up by other tribes, and those who are eyeing them will not sympathize with the old man and children.

Of course, the young and healthy Tamton would not approve of these people's actions, so he became the new khan with the support of the Liucheng people. And the old people who took the lead in controlling Louban, with the support of the remaining clansmen, established Louban as Khan, and those old people jointly ruled the government.

The royal court was divided into two tribes, and the other tribes either watched from the sidelines or fought against each other, and the Wuhuan family, which was originally the dominant family, became chaotic again because of the current parity. Now the top priority is no longer to take revenge on Zhang Hao in Pingzhou, but to eliminate these traitors who kidnapped Lou Ban and betrayed their uncle as soon as possible.

Because of this, Tatun felt that Zhang Chun had come at the right time, as long as he gave his head to the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and then bowed down and said a few good words, then the previous invasion of Pingzhou could be written off.

In the end, he offered his treasure and asked the emperor of the Han Dynasty to canonize himself as Wuhuan Khan, as long as the emperor agreed, then he was the rightful lord of Wuhuan. In the name of the emperor's canonization, it would be twice the result with half the effort to eliminate the traitors and conquer other tribes by himself.

The last battle with Zhang Hao made Tatun understand that it was not enough to take revenge alone, and he had to gather the strength of all the Wuhuan tribes.

"The people of the Han Dynasty have a saying called the hatred of Xianggong Fu IX, the Spring and Autumn Period. Although I don't know who Xianggong is, I understand what it means. Zhang Hao, you wait for me, uncle's hatred, I will let you repay it no matter the ninth, tenth, or hundredth generations! ”

……

The rebellion of Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju was quelled. This not only means that the passage between Pyongju and Youju has been reopened, but also that the herd of cattle worth 10,000 gold can be driven to Gyeonggi by land.

At the instigation of the courtiers, Emperor Ling ordered to summon the meritorious soldiers of this rebellion into the court, and specially asked Zhang Hao to drive all the livestock to the south.

This time, it was no longer the eunuchs who were sent to announce the edict, and the courtiers were afraid that Zhang Hao, a villain, would collude with the eunuchs and play some tricks, so that they would not hand over the livestock.

So this time he came to a councilor, with a polite appearance, and the first image will make people think that he is full of poetry and books.

The courtiers' fears were still prescient. When Zhang Hao received the edict, he thought of the thoughts of these sanctimonious guys, and he was very reluctant to hand over this large amount of wealth.

Zhang Hao thought: Fortunately, he only said about going north to fight back against Wuhuan, and did not say anything about the capture and relocation of herdsmen, otherwise these people would be dizzy, and they don't know what they would want to do. Hmph, what the soldiers exchanged for their lives, these guys don't want to leave with a few words.

"Angel, I'm ready to go."

When the envoy of the edict saw Zhang Hao coming with a team of guards, he was very strange in his heart and asked, "Why did the general only bring these people?" ”

Zhang Hao asked knowingly: "These guards are the maximum number of people I can enjoy at the moment, and if there are more, it will be suspected of trespassing." ”

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant." The envoy shook his head, "What the envoy means is that the generals can't drive such a large herd of livestock, right?" ”

"Alas~ I can't hide it, I'm afraid those livestock can't be taken away." Zhang Hao said helplessly.

Why is that? Could it be that the general wants to resist the decree? ”

"It's not that I disobeyed, but there was a reason."

How to say that Zhang Hao's side is a big man, and the words he said are still very weighty. The messenger decided to hear what he had to say, "Please tell the general what the reason is." ”

"It's the plague."

"What!" Zhang Hao's words startled the envoy, and he took a few steps back, wanting to stay away from Zhang Hao. "Don't be joking, general, what, what kind of plague?"

It's a terrible word. Famine, plague, and rebellion were the three most common major events in the Han Dynasty during these years. Not to mention before, a great plague broke out in the Central Plains last year, killing tens of thousands of people, and it was only calmed down in winter.

But I didn't expect that there was also a plague here in Liaodong, which made the envoy very resentful of Zhang Hao in his heart now, if there was really a plague, he should have reported it in time before, so who would still worry about Liaodong's things, and he wouldn't have to come here.

"Don't panic, messenger, this is just a disease contracted among livestock, and there is no sign of transmission to people." Zhang Hao explained, "It's just that although the people are fine, the seized livestock and the livestock that were originally raised are all dead." ”

"Really? That's just great. The messenger was a little relieved, "But how can there be a plague in such a cold weather?" ”

Zhang Hao showed a very remorseful look: "It's all my fault, it's because I trust those Yidi captives too much." I thought that Yidi was good at taking care of livestock, so I gave them a way to live, and handed over all the work of my pastures in Liaodong to Yidi, and only sent someone to take care of it.

I never thought that these people were ungrateful, and in order to take revenge on the imperial court, they secretly hid the sick and dead livestock, and when the carcasses of the livestock were decomposed, they mixed the carrion with hay and fed the livestock to eat. As a result, all the livestock in Liaodong were infected, and then they died of illness. ”

The envoy listened to Zhang Hao's words, and he already believed half of them in his heart, but the other half still needed to be verified. "It's not that I don't believe the general's words, can the general take me to the ranch to have a look?"

"What the angel said is true, then I myself will lead the way and lead the messenger there."

"There's General Law."

Zhang Hao took the messenger to the ranch.

Along the way, the envoy saw smoke rising in the distance and smelled the smell of roasted meat wafting in the air. Walking to the ranch, he realized why this was happening. A large herd of slightly dwarfed men, who could be seen at a glance as Yidi, carried dead animals and threw them into a large fire pit. The smoke and the smell of meat wafted out of the pit.

The messenger asked, "General, what is this?" ”

Zhang Hao explained with a wry smile: "This is just in case. Although there are no examples of the plague being transmitted to humans, it is impossible to know for sure. Therefore, all these sick and dead livestock were burned to completely cut off this possibility. After all, people are more important than livestock. ”

Hearing these words, the envoy was very moved, and reminded him of a sentence in the "Analects of the Township Party": "The stable is burned, the son retreats from the dynasty, and says, 'Hurt people?' 'Don't ask the horse'.

In the past, I had always heard from my colleagues that Zhang Hao was a shameless villain who could only be a flattering minister. But when I saw it today, I was wrong. If it was such a heinous villain, how could he say such a thing?

Of course, Zhang Hao didn't know that the messenger in front of him had changed his opinion of himself, and continued: "The fire here has been burning for three days and three nights, and what the envoy has seen now is the last carcass of livestock. What used to be a full pasture is now empty. Now that spring ploughing is about to begin, even the livestock that were originally raised have died, and it seems that there is no hope that the livestock will be used to help the people plow. ”

"Don't disturb the general, as you said, as long as the person is okay, all this can be done again!" The messenger encouraged the 'depressed' Zhang Hao.

"Thank you for the envoy's auspicious words, do you want to go in with me again?" Zhang Hao said with a smile.

"No, I believe that the general's personality will not do that kind of deceitful thing. The general can rest assured that when I return to the DPRK, I will testify for the general in court, so that the general will not be convicted for this. ”

Zhang Hao's face was full of smiles, but he was very puzzled in his heart, after such a short time of getting along, he knew that I was a person? And listening to what he meant, it seems that his previous image in his heart was a deceitful villain, is his current image in the hearts of scholars so bad?

Since this messenger has said so, he must be able to pass the level smoothly. The dead animals still have some value, although their meat is wasted.

However, this alone is not enough, after all, this is a "loss" of tens of thousands of livestock, which is equivalent to losing tens of thousands of gold at once. This is already a crime for the Spirit Emperor, who regards money as his life, and he deserves to die, and the emperor will not care if he wants to kill you.

So in order to shoot Emperor Ling's sycophants, Zhang Hao specially prepared something, which should be more pleasing to Emperor Lingdi than money. As long as he is happy, then no matter what sins he has, he can be forgiven.

This thing is what I dug up in Lelang County - ginseng.
