Chapter 208: The Gift

Previous Chapter

In the middle of May, at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, the country of Anxuer, the king of Qiuzi, the years are quiet, and there is a quiet atmosphere of pastoral songs.

The only thing that is a little unusual is that the merchants and officials of the Han Dynasty, who used to be the most talkative, have recently quieted down.

It is rare to see Han people arrogantly in the cities and markets, boasting about the wealth and power of the Han Dynasty.

There is no way, half a month ago, they told others categorically - the Huns are finished this time, and the king will definitely punish them! You just wait to see the righteous master of the Han Dynasty, and there is no way!

As a result, I waited for several days, just waiting for a paper negotiation from the Lingju side.

As for the boasting of the king?

The Han army rode well, and even the shadow never appeared in Qiuzi.

The kings of the mouths were hit hard and their morale was low, so they all hung their heads and were inactive for many days.

And the Qiuzi people are strong by nature, and when they see this scene, they also have many remarks that slander and even ridicule the Han family in private.

After all, the merchants and officials of the Han family in the past were all convincing and confident, asserting that the Xiongnu would definitely be unlucky!

As a result, nothing even happened that was lifted high and gently put down.

The Han only sent some envoys to warn them.

Although the wording is harsh, in the eyes of the Qiuzi people, it is a fierce and inward-looking, but it is just a respect.

If the Huns could be frightened by a letter, a few words of warning.

Is that still the Huns?

In fact, not only the Qiuzi people, but also the people of Weili and even Loulan also think so.

"There is no need to believe too much in the words of this Han Dynasty......"

"It's all just a scare......"

"After all, the Huns still have some ...... heritage"

The nobles of various countries began to think about it.

There are even people who dare to openly discuss this matter, saying that 'the general of the Che Cavalry, in the end, is incompetent, and it is normal to have concerns in the face of a powerful country like the Xiongnu'.

For a time, the political situation of the countries, which was almost controlled by the pro-Han faction, had a different flavor.

After all, the countries of the Western Regions are born with a strong wall.

It has always been who is forced to be a dog to whom.

Now, the situation between Han and Hungary seems to be about to make waves again.

Naturally, it is inevitable that some people will have crooked thoughts and want to leave a way back for themselves and install a spare tire, so that they can change camps in the future.

Just like now, in the palace of King Anxuer of Qiuci, Weizhang, the general of Qiuzizuo, was in front of Anxuer, King of Qiuci, and persuaded hard: "King, Han and Hungary are both strong countries, and Qiuci is a small country, and a small country is between the two major powers, and only the two subordinate parties are the way to protect themselves, and the local defenders killed Lai Dan, the captain of Juyan, the year before last, and the relationship with Han also cracked............

"Now the king is bent on Han, in case the Huns gain power in the future, I am afraid of turtles ......"

Listening to this, Anxuer, the king of Guizi, his eyes flickered, obviously a little moved.

Because, what the other party said is indeed very reasonable!

Qiuzi is among the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, which can barely be regarded as a big country.

But compared with Han and Hungary, it is undoubtedly an ant.

However, Qiuci is also in the strategic point under the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, and now the Han family is strong, although it can protect Qiuci.

But in the future in case of the game

It's changing......

Isn't it a turtle......

Anxuer, the king of Qiuzi, pondered for a long time, and was about to speak, when suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps outside the palace.

King Qiuzi Anxuer frowned, looked sideways, and saw several nobles hurriedly walking in, and bowed to him: "King, the Huns have stopped marching......"

King An Xuer of Qiuzi was dumbfounded, and the left general Wei Zhang in front of him was even more incredulous.

They couldn't understand why, a letter from the Han Dynasty's chariot general, a few words of warning, could make the Xiongnu's 100,000 army bow down.

This is more absurd than a myth!

I'm afraid it's something you won't even dream of!

After being silent for a long time, An Xuer, the king of Qiuzi, stood up and looked at the left general Wei Zhang: "You dare to bewitch the people in front of me, trying to trick me into turning my back on His Majesty the Great Son of Heaven, the crime is unforgivable!" ”

"Someone, tie up this criminal minister, and immediately send it to the Wang Shi military camp outside the city, and ask the Wang Shi to deal with it!"

"Spread the king's order again: From now on, anyone who dares to slander the king's master, criticize the nobles of the kingdom, and even despise the emperor of the kingdom will be arrested on the spot and sent to the official office of the state!"

After saying these words, the king of turtles, Anxuer, let out a deep breath, only to feel that his back and neck were cold.

At this moment, he was extremely glad that his loyalty to the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty was unswerving, otherwise......

The left general, Wei Zhang, was stunned on the spot, and he didn't react until a dozen or so Qiuzi warriors rushed forward and pressed him to the ground.

2k

I was about to beg for mercy, but it was too late.

Because someone shoved a rag directly into his mouth.

Then he stripped him of his clothes, tied him up with a rope, and carried him out of the palace.

At this time, the entire city of Yancheng was already crazy!

The reply of the Xiongnu had already spread throughout the city at this time - the Huns unconditionally accepted all the conditions of the Han Dynasty general! He even sent an envoy to Qiuzi to negotiate with Han!

At first, even the merchants and officials of the Han Dynasty couldn't believe it was true!

It wasn't until the news of the entry of the Xiongnu mission came that they reacted.

Then, all the people who had questioned it before only felt that their faces were hot, and then boundless fear hit their hearts.

Especially those aristocrats who have made certain statements publicly, such as sitting on pins and needles.

Fortunately, they don't need to worry about it for too long.

Because soon, the army sent by Anxuer, the king of Qiuzi, broke into their homes directly, arrested them, tied them up and sent them to the Han army camp outside the city.

This incident has left a heavy page in the history of Qiuzi.

Even, it has become a watershed in the history of Qiuzi.

Since then, there has been no one or force in Qiuzi who dares to question or doubt the Han family.

As a result, the whole country united and made every effort to sinicize, but in a few years, the state of Yidi at the foot of the Tianshan Mountain has become a place of dress and etiquette.

Therefore, they even pay more attention to etiquette, order, respect and humility than the Han people, and emphasize the ethics of steel mills!

So much so that some literati from Neijun thought that they had come to the land of Qilu after arriving in Qiuzi.

Of course, this is a later story, so I won't show it for the time being.

The matter of the Huns bowing their heads and surrendering quickly spread from Qiuzi to the entire Western Regions under the rule of the Protectorate, and then spread

Into the side walls.

And Zhang Anshi has been waiting for many days.

"The Huns are still acquainted!" After hearing this, Zhang Anshi pursed his lips and smiled: "Since this is the case, there is no need to be too harsh on them!" ”

"Zhang Yue!" Zhang Anshi waved his hand and called his retainers and instructed him: "You take someone to go to Loulan for me, let Zheng Du escort him to the Xiongnu army, and send personnel to serve as the supervisor ......"

"The lord ......" Zhang Yue couldn't believe it with a stunned face: "The lord and the minister will go immediately, but will the Huns agree?" ”

"Naturally!" Zhang Anshi laughed and said to him: "It's not a big deal anyway...... he took out a booklet that had been written long ago from his arms, handed it to Zhang Yue, and advised: "Go to Loulan and hand this letter to Zheng Ji, let him send personnel, follow the instructions on this book, and act when the opportunity comes!" ”

A few days later, the Xiongnu delegation entered the fortress from Yumen.

Accompanying them into the fortress were the 'officials of the Han Dynasty' sent by Qiuzi, Weili, and Loulan, almost thirty or fifty people.

However, the most eye-catching thing is the carriage brought by the Xiongnu mission.

There were more than 20 carriages, loaded with gold, silver ornaments, and precious jewels.

Its weight weighed down the ruts and sank deep into the road, and the wheels creaked and creaked.

Every time you go uphill, you need a dozen slaves to pull it to move.

At the Jade Gate, the Huns opened the canvas covering these carriages, revealing the contents contained in themβ€”golden coins, exotic jade, crystal-clear treasures, and all kinds of fine silver ornaments.

For a while, the entire jade gate was full of jewels, and the eyes of the dazzling people were spent.

The merchants on the top of the city tower were all stunned when they saw this situation: "How did this Hun become so generous?" ”

And when Zhang Anshi saw this scene, he also sighed with emotion: "When it comes to the ability to loot, the Huns are unbeatable in the world!" ”

Don't think about it, these gold coins, silver ornaments, treasures, pearls and jades must be the trophies found by the Huns in Dawan. There is no doubt that these treasures must be stained with the blood and tears of countless Dawan people.

I am afraid that the Huns have dug up the savings of the Dawan people for more than ten years and their profits in the silk trade.

But......

What does this have to do with the Han family?!

Zhang Anshi smiled with a smile on his face, and took his subordinates out of the city to greet him in person.

"Xiongnu envoy Zheang, worship the Han chariot cavalry general Zhang Gong again!" The envoy is a member of the Xiongnu royal family and a cousin of the sage Chan, Zheang: "On the orders of my lord Shan Yu, the little envoy has come to ask the general for his guilt!" ”

Then, he presented a gift slip and a letter from the Huns.

Zhang Anshi took it with a chuckle, looked at the contents, smiled happily, stepped forward to help Zheang, and said, "Your envoy has come from afar, please come in to rest!" ”

This Huns really gave him enough face with the Han Empire.

In the national letter, not only did he bow his head and admit his mistakes, but also sent gold and silver treasures to apologize, apologize and compassionate to the people of Yu Chengcheng.

There are 10,000 gold coins, 1,000 silver ornaments, and more than 1,000 pieces of precious jade and agate, which are of immeasurable value.

As for why these things were not compensated to the people of Yu Chengcheng, but sent to Yumen Pass?

The Huns don't say it, and the Han family doesn't account for it.

After all, the kingdom still has to be measured!
