Chapter 487: The scourge of the Huns is eradicated

Chapter 487 The scourge of the Huns is eradicated

Hu Chuquan did not expect that the scene he expected to return to the Xiongnu would never happen, because at this time, the Xiongnu were undergoing an unprecedented and strict purge, and all the tribes who were dissatisfied with Liu Quanzhong and Liu Cunxiao were punished, as long as the men who exceeded the height of the axle were slaughtered, and the women were reduced to slaves. ,

The reason why the two brothers can have enough strength and courage to do such bloody and violent things, in addition to the inherent violent genes of the Huns flowing in their bodies, the most important thing is that they were guided by their military advisor Deng Ai, this fourteen-year-old boy who came to the bitter cold land of the Huns with the two brothers After nearly three years of training, he has grown into a seventeen-year-old young hero, his eyes are full of wisdom, he is also a general who is a hundred Hun warriors, whether it is the art of riding archery or the art of foot combat, Even the most traditional wrestling skills of the Huns, he did impeccable, and he used these means to secretly conquer and encircle many young heroes of the Huns who were famous for their bravery.

And these young heroes are all descendants of the nobles of the Xiongnu tribes, behind them stand a large and ancient family, they are Deng Ai and Liu Quanzhong, Liu Cunxiao brothers two brothers, all gathered together, and later through Deng Ai Luo Shi sub-scheme, their chain of interests and Liu Quanzhong brothers and the family tightly tied together.

At the same time, Liu Quanzhong, the two brothers, according to Deng Ai's strategy, would find a way to give the cattle and sheep and other things they owned to the poor and weak in the tribe every time Hu Chuquan went out to fight, and every time the Han Dynasty merchants came to the Xiongnu trade, he would personally come forward and negotiate with the merchants as the stepson of the Han Emperor, so that the price would drop by one to two percent, and a lot of materials were exchanged for the Xiongnu departments.

And that's not all. Whenever Hu Chuquan came back from a victory and divided the spoils among the two brothers, they always rewarded the spoils to the tribesmen, and later Hu Chuquan became alarmed by this, so he opened a market among the tribes and sold them to the tribesmen at a low price.

Besides. They also gained the support of several medium tribes of the Xiongnu through marriage, and he secretly formed alliances with these tribes, and his power continued to grow.

Of course, the reason why they were able to develop to a certain strength in three years also had a lot to do with the fact that they received a steady stream of materials from the Han Dynasty, because without these materials, it would be difficult for them to even provide the supplies of the soldiers under their command, let alone buy people's hearts with small favors?

In fact, when they first heard that Hu Chuquan was left in Luoyang and could not return, Liu Quanzhong and the two brothers did not realize that their opportunity had come. Fortunately, thanks to Deng Ai's reminder and persuasion, they finally understood that the task assigned to them by their stepfather, Emperor Liu Qi of the Han Dynasty, finally had a chance to be realized, so they decided to do it.

At this time, the two Liu Quanzhong brothers finally paid off for their behavior of buying people's hearts for many years, and the families behind the teenagers they wooed either wisely chose to follow Liu Quanzhong's brothers, or reluctantly chose neutrality, and only a small number still supported Hu Chuquan without hesitation. It was proposed to command the Xiongnu army to attack and annex the state, and then wave the army to Chang'an. Let Liu Qi see how powerful they are, and force Liu Qi to put back Huchuquan.

For that part of the diehards, the two brothers first explained that Hu Chuquan was actually named a prince and voluntarily stayed in Luoyang to enjoy a good life, and they were ordered by the Son of Heaven to protect the Huns. Seeing that those people did not comply, he suddenly changed his face, claiming that those people had taken refuge in Cao Wei, nominally to call for Chuquan, but in fact they wanted to encourage the clansmen to rebel against the Son of Heaven. Bring ruin to the tribe, and persuade those people to abandon these terrible thoughts, and then join hands for the development of the clan and pledge allegiance to the Han family.

Those people were slandered, naturally showed righteous indignation, and then resolutely refused, and Liu Quanzhong and the two brothers were waiting for that moment, he saw that these people were stubborn, first expressed some sympathy, and tried to persuade hard, and seeing that it had no effect, he decisively raised the butcher's knife and launched a massacre of these diehards.

Thanks to the two brothers' success in wooing and bribing their clansmen, the clansmen were all heartfelt in their support for every decision they made, even indifferent to the clansmen's butcher's knives.

The massacre lasted for a day and a half, and as time passed, the soldiers who carried out the massacre were numb, and they were all mechanically slaughtering those "rebels", and the sympathy and pity at the beginning of the massacre were all gone at this moment, and their hearts only thought about scolding their mothers: "When the hell is this?" Those hateful rebels haven't been killed yet, is Cao Wei so good? These ignorant fools, killing them is cheap, and according to me, their entire family, men, women, and children should be slaughtered. ”

Less than two hours later, they found that their mechanical killing action had suddenly stopped, and when they looked around, they found that there was no one to kill, and thousands of opponents of the various departments had all been slaughtered, and the bones were piled up into a small mountain, although it was in the cold winter, but it also emitted a rancid smell, which made people feel sick.

In fact, what is this more than them? Even Liu Quanzhong and Liu Cunxiao, who issued the massacre order, felt sick to their stomachs at this scene, nauseated and vomited many times, and even vomited bile in the end, but they were surprised to find that Deng Ai, the companion who came with them, was still calm, and his slightly cold eyes slowly scanned around, and everyone felt a chill coming from the soles of their feet.

They were afraid that this person's eyes would stay on them, because once they did, they would face the cold and bloody butcher's knife, which had become the most terrifying action in the past two days, and it also made them have a heartfelt fear of this person, which was far more gentlemanly than the two Hun commanders who gave the slaughter order!

Fortunately, this person's eyes slowly swept around, and then said lightly: "Now it seems that all rebellions have been cleared, so that the Huns will be as safe as a rock, and there will be no more enemy troops to make trouble here, of course, I know that there are still a few people who have been bought by Cao Wei, but the two commanders are generous and large, and they are no longer ready to pursue it, I hope that these people will change their minds and reform themselves, otherwise." Hugh blames the country's laws and regulations for being ruthless. ”

Although Deng Ai's words were said very indifferently, everyone couldn't help but be shocked in unison, but what followed was a huge ecstasy, because they knew that the massacre had finally stopped, and even Liu Quanzhong and Liu Cunxiao couldn't help but feel relieved at this news.

Because all the dissidents were cleared out. So after Liu Quanzhong and Liu Cunxiao announced the decision of the imperial court to divide the Xiongnu into two, no one objected, and the matter was decided.

According to the requirements of the two brothers and the formulation of the imperial court, the left and right parts of the Xiongnu were bounded by the Xiongnu royal court and divided into east and west, the east belonged to Liu Quanzhong's subordinates, and the west belonged to Liu Cunxiao's subordinates.

In addition, the imperial court issued a shocking decision: in order to avoid the dispute between the two kings of the Xiongnu, the Son of Heaven stipulated the establishment of the Xiongnu Governor's Office in the Xiongnu royal court. Liu Quanzhong, the left marshal of the Xiongnu, was the first governor of the Xiongnu Governor's Office, and the Xiongnu Governor's Office was responsible for coordinating the relationship between the Xiongnu and the Xiongnu, and handling the daily administrative affairs of the Xiongnu ministries, and if in wartime, he had the right to mobilize and command the armies of the Xiongnu and the east and west. He also took the right marshal Liu Cunxiao as the deputy governor, and the Pingbei general Deng Ai as the military division of the Xiongnu Governor's Mansion and joined the army. The governor of the Xiongnu Prefecture and the deputy governor have the responsibility of persuasion and supervision.

Although the appointment of the imperial court was a bit excessive, whether it was Liu Quanzhong, Liu Cunxiao's brothers or Deng Ai, they all firmly supported it. In particular, Deng Ai has now become the most terrifying existence among the entire Xiongnu tribes, so no one dares to express half of their dissatisfaction, as the three high-ranking officials of the Governor's Mansion show their loyalty to the imperial court.

In the following time, the famous Xiongnu Governor's Military Division, Deng Ai, who joined the army, was specifically responsible for the training of Xiongnu soldiers, and this General Deng really deserved to be a generation of famous generals, although he was only seventeen years old. However, the familiarity with the battle array and the seriousness of military discipline moved everyone, and what made people smile wryly was that even all the generals below the two Xiongnu commanders participated in the training, and even Liu Quanzhong and Liu Cunxiao couldn't help but gloat over these Xiongnu generals. At the same time, they were also secretly glad that their military rank was higher than Deng Ai's, otherwise they would have to join the ranks of being trained.

However, with the passage of time, Liu Quanzhong and Liu Cunxiao brothers felt more and more admiration for this young man who was almost the same age as himself, because after these months of training, the discipline of the Hun cavalry was significantly enhanced, and even compared with before, it was completely like two people, and it had almost reached the level of Mao Dunshan Yu Mingdi in history, and this alone greatly enhanced the combat effectiveness of the Hun cavalry.

And what is even more significant is that because Deng Ai combined the training methods of the Hun cavalry with the formation of the Han people, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers under his command has been greatly improved again, and now Liu Quanzhong and Liu Cunxiao believe that as long as they rely on these 30,000 Hun cavalry, even if they defeat 50,000 Xianbei elite soldiers, it will definitely not be a problem.

The changes in the Hun cavalry before and after completely shocked all the Huns, and they now understand that the Han Dynasty is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, capable of producing many people, even a seventeen-year-old boy can make such a big difference in the army after just a few months of training, not to mention those honorary generals under the command of Emperor Liu Qi of the Han Dynasty? Therefore, the previous practice of agitating the tribal people to fight against the Han is tantamount to self-defeating.

Thinking of this, all the hesitant people who were bewitched by those traitors couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat in their hearts, if they were really hot-headed at that time and followed these traitors, then they believed that they would definitely be added to the list of people who were in different places now.

It is precisely for this reason that the Huns have since become obedient to the three high-ranking officials of the Xiongnu Governor's Office, and no one dares to resist easily.

And Liu Quanzhong and Liu Cunxiao brothers' biological mother is a talented woman of the Han Dynasty, their father Zuoxian Wang Liu Bao is very busy on weekdays, plus there are many wives and concubines, there is not much time to take care of them, so they have followed their mother since childhood, and received a good education from their mother, so they are also full of strong interest in Han culture, and later they returned to the Han Dynasty with their mothers, and lived in Chang'an, Xiangyang and Luoyang, and were influenced by good culture, and have long been full of admiration for the prosperity and wealth of the Han Dynasty, and the literary style is full of admiration, so, Although they have half of the blood of the Huns in their veins, they have always regarded themselves as Han Chinese.

In the past few years, they were forced to leave the Han Dynasty for the emperor's order, returned to the Xiongnu, and once again regarded themselves as the descendants of Mao Dunshan Yu, but when they saw the Huns' shallow knowledge and vulgar life style, they still couldn't help but be bored.

When they told their troubles to the military advisor Deng Ai, after some thought, Deng Ai suggested that they set up schools in the Xiongnu to educate the Xiongnu children in human ethics and etiquette, just like the Han Dynasty did to Shanyue and Nanban, to promote the sinicization of the Xiongnu ethnic groups.

The two brothers couldn't help but light up after hearing this, but then they hesitated, and then they heard Liu Quanzhong hesitate and say, "But is the emperor willing to agree to do this?" This is an important measure to free the Huns from backwardness, will he be wary of me? ”

I heard Deng Ai laugh and said: "The Governor of Dadu and my Emperor of the Han Dynasty are both monarchs and ministers, as well as father and son, and Lingtang is favored by the king in the court, how can he have a second heart?" Even the last general understands this, what kind of person is His Majesty the Emperor? The breadth of his mind is beyond the reach of the general, how can he choose not to believe? Please rest assured that His Majesty the Emperor will definitely do his best to help the two of them, and there is no reason to be suspicious. ”

Liu Quanzhong's brothers' feelings for Liu Qi were just the feelings of ordinary stepsons to their stepfathers, although they were close but not too close, but they knew that their mother was immortal, and this strange man's thoughtfulness and care for her made them feel ashamed to see it, and at the same time, their feelings for Liu Qi were also deepening little by little, and they were educated by Confucianism since childhood, and their mothers were filial piety, how could they rebel against the Emperor of the Han Dynasty and put their mother in an embarrassing situation? Coupled with the strong strength that this man possesses, they can't afford to resist at all.

Therefore, no matter what aspect it is, it is absolutely impossible for them to have the slightest intention of rebellion against the Han, and they will not even be disobedient.

As the supreme rulers of the Xiongnu, these two brothers completely controlled the entire Xiongnu tribes, and they would not rebel or even rebel against the Han Dynasty, which meant that the entire Xiongnu would become obedient citizens of the Han Dynasty.

After more than ten years of sinicization process, the Huns in addition to horseback hunting, nomadic life traditions have not changed, in conversation, thought, clothing and other aspects have not been much different from the Han people, even the surname has been sinicized, they and the Han people continue to intermarry, in the blood is difficult to find pure Huns, in this way, more than 400 years to the Central Plains for more than 400 years, even in the next hundred years still for the Central Plains of the Xiongnu finally completely lifted the disaster.
