When the brocade guards escorted Vasuge into the main hall, it was just when the wine was hot. Seeing a group of people entering the hall, everyone put down the wine bottle in their hands and looked at Vasuge who was dressed in Hanfu but full of braids with great interest

The reckless Li Danghu was already a little drunk, and Weng Sheng, who squinted his eyes and asked suspiciously, "Xu Fan, where did you find this strange person?" How can you not salute when you see Your Highness?! ”

The leader of the Praetorian Guard hurriedly raised his foot and kicked in the crook of Vasuge's leg, kicked him to his knees, and bowed to Liu Che on the chairman: "Your Highness, the Qiang chief Vasuge has been brought. ”

Liu Che looked at the man under the steps and asked lightly, "Are you Vasuge?" ”

Vasuge endured the pain in his knees, slowly raised his head, and stared at the prince of the Han Kingdom, his eyes full of hatred and anger.

Lying! Xu Fan, the leader of the Praetorian Guard, raised his foot and stepped on Vasuge's calf fiercely, and scolded: "Presumptuous! Dare to be rude to His Highness! ”

The sharp pain came, and Vasu couldn't help but cry out in pain, leaned down, and bit his lip tightly. After the pain subsided slightly, Fang said in a low voice: "It is this king......"

A cold light flashed in Xu Fan's eyes, he bent down and grabbed his braid, pulled it back violently, and said coldly: "A barbarian who doesn't know how to count etiquette, at the feet of my Han prince, he still dares to be the king!" ”

Vasuge felt that his scalp was almost peeled off with the braids, and he couldn't bear it anymore, and he exhaled in pain. Just waited for the opportunity to raise his head, and hurriedly followed the etiquette taught by the palace people before, and said hoarsely: "The grass people have seen His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Liu Che smiled with satisfaction, waved his hand to signal Xu Fan to let go of his braids, and chuckled: "Those who know the times are Junjie, and since they have become prisoners of the ranks, they should be more interesting and suffer less." ”

At this time, Vasuge was no longer the high-spirited prairie eagle at this time, but a hairless grass chicken, and hurriedly attached himself and kowtowed: "Thank you for your teachings, the grass people must remember it." ”

Liu Che shrugged his shoulders and quipped: "You can bear it, I am afraid that what you remember in your heart is not only the teachings of the lonely king, but also hatred, right?" But this is also human nature, the lone king is not afraid, not to mention that your biggest enemy is not the lone king. ”

Without waiting for Vasu to answer, Liu Chefu said quietly: "It has been more than half a year since you were defeated and captured, and the current Beihe tribe may no longer exist, right?" ”

Vasu trembled, unable to hold back any longer, and suddenly raised his head and stared at the young prince on the chairman, his distorted face full of grief and resentment. In the past six months, every time he thinks of the Beihe tribe who have lost their strength, his heart is like a knife. In the prairie where the weak eat the strong, without the protection of warriors, the old and weak women and children, cattle and sheep in the tribe are the fat sheep in the eyes of other tribes, and I am afraid that they have already been carved up. Today's Beihe tribe must have been removed from Xiqiang.

Liu Che raised his hand to stop Xu Fan, who was about to clean up Wa Suge, and said disapprerovitically: "When you led the crowd to invade my Han territory, you should think twice. Even if the Beihe tribe has been wiped out, it can't be blamed on my big man, can it? ”

Vasu gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "The matter has come to this, it is useless to say more!" If you want to kill or chop, listen to it! ”

Liu Che didn't laugh angrily, shook his head and said: "Don't worry, if the Lone King wants to kill you, it is easier than stepping on an ant to death, and you can't waste so much effort." The lonely king is just curious, when the Xiongnu Right Xian King sent the Xiqiang tribes to ask for help, the thieves and chieftains avoided it, why did you only respond to the Wasu clan and make enemies of my Han? ”

Vasu, who had already been released, couldn't help but be angry, straightened up, and yelled with tears in his eyes: "You Han people kidnapped my beloved daughter, insulted her innocence, and caused her to commit suicide by throwing herself into the river. ”

Father's love is like a mountain, even if he is down-and-out Vasughe, in the face of the Han guards who are like wolves and tigers, he still struggles to get up at the cost of his life, and goes forward to eat the flesh and blood of the enemy.

The brocade-clothed guard naturally wouldn't let him splash, and pressed him to the ground, and several pairs of big feet stepped on his body fiercely, making a muffled sound.

Liu Che didn't stop it at all, he knew that Xu Fan had his own measure and would avoid the vital points. To train the beast, you must first grind away the wild surname, leaving him a psychological shadow, so as not to rebel against its master.

After a long time, seeing that Vasu was no longer able to struggle, and curled up in a ball and whispered in pain, the guards stopped, tidied up their clothes and armor a little, and stood silently again, as if nothing had happened.

Gongsun He watched the show for a long time, raised the wine bottle and took a sip, and sighed: "No wonder all the Xiqiang tribes have not been able to form a climate, and they have been bullied and oppressed by the Xiongnu for more than 100 years. Even though Yue's Hu moved westward several times, he was like a dog of a loser, and even his ancestral grave was dug up, but he still disdained to be with him. ”

When everyone in the hall heard this, they all smiled, obviously agreeing. In the eyes of the Han and Xiongnu, the Qiang people are really worthless existences.

Yue's Hu ancestor lives in the Hexi Corridor and Qilian Mountain, also known as "Yuezhi" and "Yuzhi".

Yueshi was originally in the west of the Xiongnu and had many conflicts with the Xiongnu. Qin Shi Huang once sent Meng Tian to attack the Xiongnu in the north, when the Yueshi was stronger than the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu head Mandan Yu sent the prince Maodun to the Yueshi as a proton. In order to induce the Yue clan to kill Mao Dun so that he could set up his youngest son as the crown prince, Touman once suddenly attacked the Yue clan.

After Mao Dun killed his father and established himself as Shan Yu, he broke Donghu and then attacked the Yue clan to the west. At that time, most of the Yueshi people moved westward in a hurry. In the fourth year of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, Mao Dunshan wrote to Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, telling him that he had sent the Right Xian King to the west to find the Yue clan and defeat it; So Loulan, Wusun, Hujie and the 26 countries next to them all belonged to the Xiongnu.

After the Huns succeeded to the throne, they attacked the Yueshi in the west, killed the king of the Yueshi, and used his head as a drinking vessel. The Yue clan had to continue to move westward and stay near the Yili River and Chu River valleys in later generations.

The Yueshi and the Western Qiang tribes have been neighbors for more than 100 years, and are deeply influenced by the Qiang people, but they still call themselves Hu and do not call themselves Qiang. Obviously, even the down-and-out Yueshi Hu looked down on the Qiang people and disdained to be with them, which shows that the Qiang people in the early Han Dynasty were too scum.

Li Danghu shook his head a little dizzy, spewed wine, and said disdainfully: "It's just that you don't have any combat power, but you don't know the current affairs, and you're stupider than me, so it's better to hit your head and die." ”

Gongsun Yu is not so mean, after all, he is not like a few people, he is a confidant of His Royal Highness the Prince. He sipped the wine to himself, and looked with amusement at Vasug, who was huddled on the ground and roared like a wild beast, wondering with wicked interest whether he would be able to take the last trace of blood, and suddenly burst out.

The truth made Gongsun Wei very disappointed, and in the face of everyone's humiliation, Vasuge didn't hear it, and didn't stop moaning at all.

"Now that you have calmed your anger, the Lone King will also talk to you." Seeing this, Liu Che smiled contemptuously and commanded: "Li Fu, bring people out." ”

Li Fu, the waiter who was standing beside him, hurriedly bowed down and promised. A moment later, he slowly entered the main hall from the back of the hall with a worried face of a girl in palace clothes.

Seeing the people in the hall, the palace girl was like a frightened deer, but she didn't dare to run around, so she could only lower her little head and follow Li Fu to the center of the main hall.

Liu Che looked at the girl with interest, pointed at Vasuge, and asked with a smile, "Do you recognize this person?" ”

When the girl heard this, she mustered up her courage and looked up at Liu Che with fear, and then turned her head to look at the man curled up on the ground behind her with his fingers.

Seeing that the man's face was bruised and swollen, and his mouth and nose were overflowing with blood, she felt a little unbearable, and just wanted to close her eyes, but suddenly opened her eyes wide in an instant, as if she had forgotten her fear, and suddenly took a few steps forward, knelt on the ground, and tried to help Vasugo up, crying in her mouth: "Abba, Abba......"

The stunned Vasuge turned his head suddenly, looked at the tearful girl in surprise for a long time, and then grabbed her shoulders with great effort, and roared in disbelief: "Baba Zi?!" ”

He nodded with all his strength, and then let out a whoop, holding the crook of Vasuge's arm, and weeping with his head buried in mourning.

The cry exploded in Vasu's head, and his mind instantly became blank, but he instinctively sat up straight, as if forgetting the pain, and took the baby daughter who had collapsed to the ground into his arms, and let her majestic tears wet his blood-stained clothes.

"Take their father and daughter down and talk about it well, don't disturb people." Liu Che saw that things were going smoothly according to the preset script, and he was very proud. The bloody Korean dramas of later generations are not useless.

When the palace people took the father and daughter down, everyone who watched a good show drank happily again. Liu Che took advantage of the wine surname to select the part that could be announced from the interrogation of Lieutenant Zhang Tang from the mouth of the Qiang captive Zang Suer, and roughly described it.

After everyone heard this, the reason for the matter was already clear, and they were all embarrassed. This Wasu took revenge for his daughter, and finally ended up in the annihilation of the clan, but at this time, he saw his living daughter, and he really didn't know how to feel.

"General Gongsun, do you think Vasu can use this person?" Liu Che asked casually.

Gongsun was stunned for a moment, and said with a puzzled face: "Forgive the end of the general is dull, I don't know what His Highness means?" ”

Liu Che put down the wine bottle in his hand and said slowly: "The general is the minister of his father's humerus and the pillar of the country, and there is no need to hide it from you, my father intends to let Wasu go back to the northwest grassland......"

Seeing the prince's cautious face, everyone stopped talking, even Li Danghu, who was a little drunk, sat honestly and didn't dare to say anything.

A flash of realization flashed in Gongsun Xun's mind, and he said tentatively: "What does Your Highness mean by using razing to defeat raze?" ”

Liu Che agreed with his jaw: "Not bad! The northwest and the south of the Qilian Mountains are quite high and the climate is changeable. Most of our Han soldiers came from the plains, and not only could not endure the bitter cold, but also did not adapt to fighting on the plateau. If it can be razed and razed, it can save a lot of casualties. ”

Liu Che racked his brains in order to enter the western frontier. Not only will the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau cause altitude sickness among the soldiers of the Han army, but also the huge temperature difference between morning and evening in the future generation of Xinjiang Province, which will also become a rampant disease in the army. No matter how strong the Tang Dynasty was in later generations, there was still no way to take Tubo, so he still had to be friendly, and sent a large number of craftsmen and resources to fatten these white-eyed wolves, which really gave Liu Che a headache.

Even if you don't hesitate to use your troops and spend blood to conquer the northwest grassland, it is extremely troublesome to send troops to garrison. This is not something that can be completely solved by building a few cities, and the nomads who run away if they can't win will consume too much energy of the Han. If you want to do it once and for all, you need to take it slowly. (To be continued.) )
