Chapter 374: The Ambition of King Zhaojun of the Ninghu Clan
"Mourning, Yan You. I can understand what you think. Worried that the Huns have always bullied the weak and feared the hard. If only we would make peace now. I'm afraid that the Huns will think that our Han is weak and can be bullied. When the time comes, it will be inched. Only by not giving an inch can the Huns be afraid of our military strength. Wang Mang said with a smile.
Yan You looked at Wang Mang, shook his clothes, and thought: His Majesty the Emperor doesn't think so. He will not give up until he destroys the Huns. If this continues, something will happen sooner or later. His Majesty the Emperor wants to change the day, but the current situation of our Han Dynasty cannot withstand the toss at all. If you continue like this, you will have no place to die!
Yan You looked at Wang Mang's domineering and complacent appearance, and thought: Your Majesty is still too confident. We're in danger right now. If you take the liberty of fighting the Huns now. We're going to lose. How can you convince Your Majesty?
"Your Majesty, though you have a point. But the Huns were now strong, with a standing army of 500,000. They can completely inflict huge casualties on our big man. If we fight, even if we win, it will be a miserable victory. β
Yan You was a little frustrated. He thought to himself: His Majesty the Emperor is too angry. He now wishes that tomorrow would turn into a peaceful and prosperous world. How is that possible? Your Majesty's steps are too fast. If it goes on like this, it's really going to be messy!
"Yan You, you have disappointed me too much. Do you just think that it is wisest to surrender humiliatingly to the Huns? Do you know that the Huns are harboring evil intentions? They had already figured out how to enter the Central Plains. If we take the initiative to make peace now, we are showing weakness! β
Wang Mang suddenly became furious.
Wang Mang thought to himself: Actually, I know Yan You's thoughts. In fact, it is not easy for us to be a big man. But if we show weakness now, it will expose the external strength of our Han Empire. That's the worst thing! At that time, the Huns were bound to go south. What do we use to reach the tiger and wolf army of the Huns?
Let's look at the situation on the side of the Xiongnu royal court.
Xiongnu Zhidan was conspiring with King Zuo Xian in the big tent at this time.
"King Zuoxian, King Gu has found that the Han family has become empty recently. Everywhere is auspicious. Sooner or later, Wang Mang will usurp the Great Han. We need to reconsider our relationship with Wang Mang. If he really usurped the Han Dynasty, should we continue to coexist peacefully with the Central Plains people? Zhidan Yu worried.
His face turned iron-blue, iron-blue.
King Zuo Xian smiled: "Da Dan Yu Your Highness, we should be happy." If Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, the foundation would be unstable. He is bound to win over us Huns. Wouldn't that be better? β
Zhidan Yu smiled bitterly: "Hahaha...... You're just dreaming, aren't you? If Wang Mang really usurped the Han Empire, he would only get worse. He can't wait to destroy our Huns and achieve his eternal hegemony. Do you really think he will go against us Huns? Wang Mang is a person with serious ethnic prejudices. β
Zhishan Yu thought to himself: Is King Zuo Xian stupid? I actually think that Wang Mang will make peace with us. Looks like he needs a lot of exercise! It's so naΓ―ve to look at the problem.
King Zuo Xian held the sword and said proudly: "We Huns are eagles in the sky. We are the pride of the sky. How could he be afraid of Wang Mang, a Confucian student? Wang Mang is just a cloth cloth. He only relied on the nepotism of the Empress Dowager Wang Zhengjun to get to where he is today. How can such a person be the opponent of our Huns? β
"You still underestimate Wang Mang. Wang Mang has the talent to pass through the heavens and the earth, and the magic of the gods. He's no slouch. If we go head-to-head with him, I'm afraid we'll ask for our own hardships. Wang Mang should think about it! Zhishan Yu said worriedly.
"Big brother, why do you bother to grow up and destroy your own prestige? That Wang Mang does have some skills, but he is not omnipotent! We still have a chance to beat him. It's just a matter of strategy. β
Zuo Xianwang said confidently.
"Little brother, you are too young after all. In fact, our Huns are not as strong as you think. Today, to the east are Wuhuan, Xianbei, and Goguryeo. To the west are the countries of the Western Regions. It can be said that there are strong enemies around. In such an environment, even if we Huns send troops to the Central Plains, we will be attacked on our backs! Zhidan Yu couldn't help but shake his head.
Zhidan Yu picked up a glass of mare's milk wine and drank it alone: "What's the matter?" Little brother, you have been the king of Zuo Xian for a few years, why haven't you grown? You really failed my expectations of you, big brother! β
"Da Dan Yu Your Highness. In fact, I also hope that we Huns can actively expand their territory and seize living space! Nothing else! King Zuo Xian continued to quibble.
His eyes were full of anticipation for his achievements.
At this time, the cold wind outside the tent blew the tent to sway.
Zhishan Yu sighed and said: Don't be young and vigorous. If it really starts. It's really hard to say whether our Huns are Wang Mang's opponents.
At this time, Wang Zhaojun also conspired with his son Yougu Liwang in another camp.
"Son. Do you really not want to be a big single Yu of the Huns? β
Wang Zhaojun stared at the right valley Li King.
"Queen Mother, our Xiongnu Dadan Yu has always been elected by the tribe. How dare my son have him? The right valley Liwang looked dull and said helplessly.
"Son! You can't be so ambitious! What we need is a strong man. Not a coward like you! "Wang Zhaojun hates that iron does not make steel.
King Liwang of the right valley thought to himself: Is the queen mother expecting too much from me? I'm a piece of shit! Our Huns rode horses, archery, and wrestled. I'm loose in everything. Not at all like an authentic Hun!
"Queen Mother, my son is a coward! I can't do it in the first place! Why does the queen mother always have high hopes for me? With tears in his eyes, the king of the right valley cried.
Wang Zhaojun thought to himself: Son! Why are you so uncompetitive? You're the son of the mighty Megatron! How can you be so cowardly?
Wang Zhaojun picked up the cane and tapped the shoulders and back of the right Gu Liwang.
"Son, can't you be stronger? Why can't you just do big things? Are you really worse than everyone else? What's worse than the others? Wang Zhaojun tapped the ground with his cane. Tears flowed down her eyes.
She thought to herself: Son, can't you fight a little harder? If that's the case, you're really going to be in a different place! Son, this is not a joke with you. The tragedy of the Xiao Wall is not only for the big Han!
Our Huns have also had it!
King Liwang of the right valley cried: "Mother, the child really doesn't want to do anything big. The child just wants to live a dull life! β
The king of the right valley thought to himself: Mother! Why didn't I inherit my father's resolute and courageous character? I'm not the material to make a big single Yu after all!
So, what else will Wang Zhaojun do? What will be the fate of the right valley liking who is unwilling to be a big single Yu? How will the contradictions in the Xiongnu court affect the Han family?
