Looking at Li Ling's eyes, Xianxian slowly stood up, then stretched out two fingers and said, "If King Jiankun really wants this king to rescue the Mobei tribes, then King Jiankun must agree to two conditions for this king!" ”

Li Ling pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Dare to ask Tu Hao, which are these two conditions?" ”

If he wants him to betray Fox Lugu, then he will never agree!

He had already rebelled against the Han dynasty and had taken on the reputation of a traitor.

If he betrays Fox Lugu again, then he will never be able to wash away the stigma on himself.

Xianxian looked at Li Ling with a smile and said, "King Jiankun rest assured, this king will not be strong!" ”

He walked in front of Li Ling and looked at this former general of the Han Dynasty and now the real power figure of the Huns, his eyes were full of appreciation!

No Xiongnu royal family would refuse to have a figure like Li Ling under their command!

He was familiar with the military, politics, and economy of the Han Dynasty, and had close ties with the upper echelons of the Han Dynasty!

Even now, Xian Xian knew that as long as Li Ling needed it, he could get in touch with some big people in Chang'an at any time, and even gain their trust.

In addition, Li Ling's ability to lead troops and command ability belong to the absolute Great Demon King in the entire Xiongnu!

No one can compare with this proud son of the Han Dynasty's Longyoujiang family!

Its ability to train cavalry is even more bug-level.

The Jiankun people were only an insignificant branch of the Xiongnu in the past.

I can't even have a name, and every year at the tellurium forest conference, I have to sit in the corner and become the target of bullying by others.

But after Li Ling became the queen, in just a few years, Jiankun's strength grew rapidly!

In the war between this spring and this summer, the Jiankun cavalry showed extraordinary combat ability.

Let the sages be jealous and covetous.

Therefore, the sincerity of the sages is quite sufficient.

He whispered, "The first condition ......"

"King Jiankun must promise this king, when the time is ripe, he will work with this king to eradicate the power of the slaughtering shaman!"

For the sage, in fact, the position alone is almost like a ripe melon and fruit, he only needs to wait patiently, and sooner or later he can sit on it.

Fox Lugu's body will not last long, and even if he can hold on, people inside and outside the royal court will not allow him to hold on.

The only question now is who will take the throne.

Once the opinions inside and outside the court are agreed, it will be the time for Fox Lugu to die!

And in this game, the sages occupy the vast majority of the advantages.

It's not just because he is King Zuoxian, the only designated heir.

What's more, because his strength is the strongest in the current Huns!

Other competitors need to join forces to be able to beat him.

And it is impossible for them to unite.

Therefore, Xianxian knew that he only needed to wait patiently for the leaders of the Mobei tribes, especially the four major clans, to compromise.

And the slaughter shaman is different!

That's a cancer!

It is a cancer parasitic on the body of the currently sick Xiongnu Empire, and this tumor has been growing savagely.

Now, that Tu Lu shaman only has a group of die-hard believers, and they are mainly concentrated among the lower-class herdsmen and slaves, and the upper-class clan leaders and nobles, he can't influence and infiltrate them.

However, the trend has already begun.

It is conceivable that once it gains a firm foothold, after a few years or more than ten years, its influence will permeate all aspects, and at that time, the Xiongnu may only know that there is a slaughter shaman but do not know that there is a single Yu.

This is something that the sages could not accept under any circumstances.

Therefore, the so-called slaughtering shaman and its forces must be eradicated!

Moreover, the influence of the latter must be erased from the roots.

For this, the sages are willing to pay any price!

Li Ling listened, but his eyes lit up, and he nodded: "Don't worry, even if Tu Hao doesn't say it, Xiao Wang will do it!" ”

"The power of ghosts and gods is respectable, and it must not be trusted, let alone used!"

The so-called slaughter shaman, Li Ling has a deep resistance and defensive psychology towards it.

It's not just because of the education and three views he has received that he keeps away from all the sayings of ghosts and gods.

All the more because he saw with his own eyes the destructiveness and destructiveness of the latter.

If the belief of the slaughtering shaman spread all over the Xiongnu, Li Ling knew that there was no doubt that the Xiongnu would be reduced to a third-rate force from now on.

Moreover, you will never be able to turn over!

He couldn't imagine that if the Huns all went to worship the so-called gods and offered all the cheese and fur to the gods, what future would the Huns have?

They will not graze their cattle with their hearts, but will only ask the gods for their blessings.

They will no longer hone their horsemanship and archery, but will only trust in the protection of the gods.

They were no longer even willing to take care of children and women, because the shamans told them that if they were faithful to the gods and their messengers, the gods would take care of and protect their families.

It's just that Hulugu refuses to listen to Li Ling's advice, and has been protecting the so-called slaughtering shaman and his forces.

Even, Hulugu also plans to invite the Tu Lu shaman to preside over the sacrifice to the heavens and ancestors at the tellurium forest conference next year.

In Li Ling's view, Hulugu is like a drowning person, desperately grasping on to a straw, trying to struggle to survive.

Even if that straw is actually a sharp sword that may pierce people's hearts at any time!

It's insane!

When the sages heard Li Ling's promise, the whole person immediately became extremely kind.

He stretched out his second finger, looked at Li Ling, and said, "This second condition ......"

"King Jiankun must take the Luntai City of the Han Dynasty for this king!"

As soon as these words came out, the stone was shattered!

Li Ling's eyes widened, he looked at the ancestors, and said in a deep voice: "Tu Hao should know, I swore an oath: In this life, I will never raise troops to meet Han soldiers!" ”

"Really?" The sage laughed: "Why should King Jiankun deceive himself? ”

"You swore not to meet the Han soldiers......"

"This king knows and respects ...... very much"

"However, King Jiankun should know that your oath is not valid at all!"

Li Ling's eyes widened and he looked at the sages.

I listened to the sages and said: "The Jiankun royal family is very knowledgeable, so you should know the meaning of eating the king's Lu and being loyal to the king!" ”

"This king heard that hundreds of years ago, Wu Zixu, a native of Chu State, was like King Jiankun, who was wronged by the faint king, his family was killed, and fled to Wu State, which was used by King Wu, and finally broke the Chu capital, and took revenge!"

"And Wu Zixu is still a big husband, praised by the world, even if it is this king, he admires it very much!"

"Now, even if King Jiankun keeps his oath, the emperor of the Han Dynasty will probably not forgive you!"

"Not to mention ......"

"Today, the Xiongnu state is declining, and the Han Dynasty is thriving......"

"Don't hide it from King Jiankun, this king just heard a rumor from Juyan of the Han Dynasty: Han Shizhong, Jianwenjun, formerly the Han Taisun Zuochen, when he owned Xinfeng County, he built water conservancy in it and taught the people to farm, so this year's Xinfeng Su wheat yields seven stones! The whole country of the Han Dynasty was shaken, thinking that prosperity could be expected, and even literati shouted 'To the well-off, welcome the new king, open the peace, the world is the same'! ”

Speaking of this, the sages stared at Li Ling fiercely, and said with an aggressive attitude: "If it goes on like this, it won't take a few years, as long as the Han people plant the wheat that yields seven stones per mu in the four counties of Hexi, then our Huns can be expected to perish!" ”

This is a certain and certain thing!

Once, the people of the Han Dynasty could obtain a yield of seven stones per mu in Hexi, or even only need to reach an average of three or four stones per mu.

Then, the local grain output in Hexi was enough to support the Han Dynasty army to fight in the large corps on the outer line of the Hexi wall.

At that time, the people of the Han Dynasty will definitely use Juyan and Luntai as bases, and come to the Western Regions every once in a while to find trouble with the Huns.

The Huns, on the other hand, could not withstand such attrition.

The Battle of Tianshan emptied the savings of the entire Xiongnu for several years, and also took up the treasury of most of the Western Regions Kingdom.

After that battle, Hou Danyu returned to Mobei at that time, and saw the smooth treasury and hungry herdsmen, and tears flowed urgently.

As a result, two years later, the army of the Han Dynasty left Juyan and went straight to Junji Mountain.

At that time, the Xiongnu did not dare to respond to the battle at all, so they could only abandon the Junji Mountain, the private canal Bihai, and the Hun River, and retreat all the way to the middle reaches of the Yuwu River Basin, so as to dare to engage the Han army head-on.

And if the four counties of Hexi can supply the food of the Han army.

Then, the frequency of sorties of the Han Dynasty corps may be increased to once a year, or even n times a year.

This war did not need to be fought, and the Xiongnu had already lost.

Li Ling naturally knew it, because when he was training in Jiuquan and Wuwei, he often sighed: "As long as the grain of the four counties of Hexi can be enough for me to eat for half a year, then I will go to the court of the Xiongnu and arrest the blame in Beique!" ”

Now, I suddenly heard that the Han Dynasty actually had a record of seven stones per mu! Naturally, he was stunned.

"Seven stones per mu? Serving in the middle of the Jianwenjun? Li Ling frowned and asked, "Isn't that the person who broke my Dragon City two months ago and took away my Wolf Juxu Mountain?" ”

"This person's martial arts, this king is also quite admired, why is Wenzhi also like this?"

"King Jiankun, don't believe it!" The sage said: "According to the king's Ou Tuo knight and careful investigation, this matter is indeed true!" ”

"Among the Han people, there are rumors that this person is the Han Dynasty hero Liuwen Cheng Marquis Zhang Liang, his life has a vision, there is a god in the forehead, according to the cloud and its anger is opened, can be according to the mystery of yin and yang in the world, can observe things that people can't see, so he was born to know, both civil and military ......"

"There are also rumors that this person is a soldier master, with the power that ordinary people can't have, the power to tear tigers and leopards, the courage of ten thousand people, the ability to write books and legacy, and the ability of the sons of the sages, so his alias Zhang Chiyou, Chang'an City is said to be able to stop children crying at night, so that the powerful and powerful are frightened!"

"It is indeed a big problem for my Huns, the number one threat!"

"These things have been confirmed again and again by this king!" Xianxian looked directly at Li Ling and said: "With King Jiankun's understanding of the Han Dynasty's monarchs and ministers, King Jiankun thinks that the Emperor of Han ordered him to come to Hexi to lead Hexi up and down to control the soldiers and horses of the four counties, how much time is left?" ”

Li Ling listened, pondered for a long time, and said: "Two or three years at the latest, and six or seven ......months at the shortest."

Such a character has such a record and literary merit and prestige.

Li Ling knew that the Son of Heaven in Chang'an would never let him pick his feet in Chang'an.

Similarly, the government and the opposition in Chang'an did not dare, let alone let him stay in Chang'an for a long time, if what the sages said was true, Li Ling knew that there would not be any ministers and nobles who would like such a person, and wouldn't it be unpleasant for everyone to stay in Chang'an for a long time?

Therefore, inside and outside the Chang'an government, they must find ways to let them go out.

And when he goes out, the only place that can be worthy of his status is only one of the four counties west of the Han River.

Xianxian looked at Li Ling and said, "Since King Jiankun understands, he should know how serious the situation is!" ”

"If this king can't take down Luntai before he goes to Hexi, destroy the power of the Han people in Loulan and the Western Regions...... At that time, who will be able to approach these places after he is gone? ”

"With its talent and past achievements, the Huns are up and down, who dares to compete with them?"

"In that case, whether it is this king, or the king of Jiankun, or even the entire Xiongnu, I'm afraid they can only sit and wait to die!"

The sage looked at Li Ling leisurely, and said sincerely: "Don't hide it from King Jiankun, even now, some tribes under the command of this king are already worshipping the statue of Zhang Chiyou......

He clapped his hands, and immediately someone sent several clay statues to Li Ling.

Li Ling looked at the past and found that these were some shoddy clay statues, and it could even be said that they had no artistic beauty.

But these clay statues all have one thing in common: they all have two faces.

One is a normal male image, and the other is a god with a monstrous and terrifying demon god image.

Looking at these clay statues, Li Ling couldn't help but feel a little distracted.

Because his grandfather was also fortunate to be worshiped by the Huns, and became a god worshiped and sacrificed by some Hun herdsmen.

This was indeed the tradition of the Xiongnu, who worshipped and sacrificed to them and prayed to them whenever they encountered people or things that they feared or thought they could not match.

A typical nomadic thinking can't be beaten, so it is enshrined and worshipped.

Most of the gods in the primitive shamanism of the Xiongnu appeared in this way.

However, in this Western Regions, there are Xiongnu herdsmen worshipping, worshipping and sacrificing that person, which has fully explained how terrible the latter's prestige is!

It is no exaggeration to say that once he arrives, as long as he wins a few battles, I am afraid that there will be a scene of everyone worshipping and worshipping the latter in the entire Western Regions.

And by that time, the Huns will be defeated without a fight!

Thinking of this, Li Ling took a deep breath and looked at the sages.

He already knew what the sages were going to say next.

He also understands that it is impossible for him to refuse the other party's request!

Because, if he still refuses, I am afraid that he will not be able to move an inch in the Huns, and more importantly, he knows that this is indeed the last chance for the Huns.

If you can't force the Han Dynasty army back to the west wall of Hexi before that person goes to Hexi.

Then, with the military talent it showed and its legend to govern Xinfeng, the level of seven stones per mu.

Within three to five years, the entire Hexi region can be turned into a Saiwai Jiangnan.

The rest of the things only need to be sent from Luntai and Loulan and pushed over.
