Chapter 179: Envy and Might
Meiji.
The Marquis of Subu Gudu was defeated in a battle, and was stoned to death by the golden wolf head, which symbolized the wolf god, which greatly shook the Huns. The Huns revere the Mandate of Heaven, and are more pious than the Han people, and in the face of the Mandate of Heaven, they have no resistance, unlike the Han people who talk about the Mandate of Heaven, and in fact do not believe much.
Confucius said on the one hand, "If you don't know your fate, you can't be a gentleman", and on the other hand, he said, "Respect ghosts and gods and stay away". That is to say, to acknowledge the existence of the Mandate of Heaven, but not to explore it, because the Mandate of Heaven is far away and has no impact on personnel. In the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhongshu talked about the unity of heaven and man, but he just used the mandate of heaven to scare people and used disasters to warn the Son of Heaven. At the beginning, as soon as there was a disaster, the Son of Heaven would condemn himself, and later, he simply replaced it with the dismissal of the Three Princes, which was full of formalism.
The Huns, on the other hand, were much more devout about the Mandate of Heaven. At that time, Su Wu did not die, because he was lying in the snow and swallowing felt, and the Huns thought that he would let him not die one day, and later treated him well. Li Guangli cursed the Huns before he died, and the Huns had a catastrophe, so he had to set up a shrine for him.
Now, killing Qiangqu in vain, resisting the edict of the Han Dynasty, the Marquis of Xubu Gudu, died in a battle with superior forces, and the great wizard summoned the eagle god to help, but suffered from it, the Huns panicked, and no one dared to confront Liu Wei again. After the Battle of Nanshui, the Xiongnu nobles who stayed in Shan Yuting rushed to Xiangshui, kowtowed to Liu Wei and pleaded guilty, and respectfully invited him to Meiji.
Liu Wei was a little tired. Every time his soul went out of his body and wandered outside the body, he would feel extremely tired. In the battle of Long Yuan, he even woke up from a coma for a few days, which scared the courtiers a lot. This time, he didn't faint though. But I also felt indescribably tired. He didn't want to do anything, he just wanted to get a good night's sleep.
Unfortunately, Meiji's form shì did not allow him to do this, and he had to force his teachings, on the one hand, to appease these Xiongnu nobles, on the other hand, to arrange rewards and boost morale, and not to let the soldiers behave indiscriminately and provoke the Huns to resist.
"Meiji is the land of my Han Dynasty. It was the first emperor of Liedai and so on. Let you and others live here for the time being. It is your duty to send troops to help me in my war. Liu Wei's majestic gaze swept over those Xiongnu nobles, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly. These Huns are no longer those who live on water and grass and are hardy of cold. The steppe people who can fight for a long time. Look at them in fine clothes. What is the difference between being slow and the nobles of Luoyang? The 190 million coins given by the Han every year were probably used by them to buy luxury goods in the Han land. Not much money will fall on ordinary people. Letting them live in Han land is not entirely a good thing for the once powerful nation of the Xiongnu.
"If you don't want to send troops to help, or even want to be an enemy of my big man, it doesn't matter, you have the freedom to choose." Liu Wei moved, allowing himself to sit more comfortably: "However, I also have the freedom to choose to drive you out of the Great Wall, or to kill them all. ”
"Your Majesty!" The Huns were drenched in cold sweat, fell to the ground, and begged bitterly. Now back beyond the Great Wall, they will only be swallowed up by the Xianbei people, which is not much different to the ordinary people, but it is just a change of leader and continue to live, for them nobles, it means that all the glory and wealth will disappear.
From thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift, it is true for anyone.
"Qiangqu is Shan Yu recognized by the imperial court, Yu Fuluo is his son, and he is also a justifiable Shan Yu, you kill Qiangqu and drive away Yu Fuluo, which is to confront the imperial court and rebel." Liu Wei's voice was not loud, but it exuded an eerie murderous aura. "Now that the first evil has been punished, those who follow you can be exempted from the death penalty, but they cannot be spared like this, otherwise, how will I rule over all nations in the future?"
"What His Majesty said is very true, the ministers will receive the crime, and the ministers will receive the crime." The Xiongnu nobles were relieved, "The ministers respectfully lead His Majesty to surrender." ”
Liu Wei waved his hand and slowed down: "I also know that you also have your difficulties. As the Son of Heaven, I should be sympathetic to the feelings, not overdone. So let's give half of your possessions, and after three months of thinking about it, I will spare you this time. ”
Without waiting for the Huns to speak, Liu Wei sat up straight and stared at the diehard loyalists of the few Marquis of the Mustu Bones: "Some people have to be killed." You, you, you ......" He nodded a few people in a row and waved his hand: "Dragged out and cut down, all the family property was confiscated, and the subordinates, wives and daughters were not official slaves and maids." ”
The Huns were frightened, and were about to jump up to resist, when several guards came over, kicked down, dragged them out, raised their knives and fell, cut off their heads, and offered them in front of Liu Wei.
Liu Wei glanced at it and waved his hand indifferently: "Make it into a wine vessel to set an example." ”
The Xiongnu nobles were shocked, and those who wanted to bargain with Liu were also frightened back, and honestly agreed to give half of their family property to preserve their status. As long as the status is there, the family property can be slowly accumulated in the future. If their lives are gone, or if their status is gone, they will be reduced to lambs to be slaughtered. Although they have not read a book, they still have this common sense.
Under the combination of grace and power, Liu Wei quickly solved the civil strife of the Huns, and ordered the property paid by these people to be divided into three, one by one to reward the soldiers, one to the ordinary Hun people, and one to keep for backup. He ordered the annexation of the prefecture and informed Yu Fuluo to return to Meiji to take the position of Shan Yu, and before that, he chose an old adult among the nobles to temporarily take the position of Shan Yu.
As soon as the arrangements were made, Liu Wei repelled the Huns, returned to the inner tent, sat on the soft brocade couch, and let out a long breath. However, he can't rest yet, and Xu Huang and the others are still waiting to arrange the task.
"Let them in."
"Yui." Du Shi answered, out of the tent to greet, not for a long time, Xun You, Xu Huang and others entered in turn, bowed to Liu Wei and saluted: "The ministers and others meet Your Majesty." ”
"Put away all the horses and camels, and march in a hurry in the future, and these livestock are indispensable." Liu Wei looked at Huangfu Li, Xu Huang, and Zhang Xiu, "Actually, there are some Huns who choose some slaves who are honest and can endure hardships to bring them, treat them well, and they need to be responsible for grazing with the army in the future." ”
"Yui!" The three of them responded loudly.
"In addition, pick some more sturdy Hun women to bring, they are no worse than ordinary men, they are also careful, and they can also solve the homesickness of the soldiers." Liu Wei said again: "However, you can't treat them as slaves, brutality can only work for a while, if we want to conquer the world, we must also learn to win people's hearts." Of course, we cannot be treated as two-legged sheep by the Huns, nor can we treat the Huns as two-legged sheep. Do not do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Only by equalizing them can we get their sincere approval. ”
"What His Majesty said is very true." Xun You said: "If you want to run rampant in the desert and fight against the Xianbei people, the Huns are a good helper. ”
The three of Huangfu Li bowed down to receive the order, and turned around to leave the account.
"Gongda, bring in that great wizard named Jin Guo." As Liu Wei spoke, he asked Bian to wring a hot hand towel for him and wiped his face, so that his somewhat tired face looked more energetic. After a while, the Great Wizard Jin Guo was brought in, glanced at Liu Wei, hunched his waist, and stood silently in the tent.
The great wizard Jin Guo was knocked into the river by a school of fish, drifted with the current, and floated in front of Liu Wei before being fished ashore by the guards. When he came ashore, he had already drunk a stomach of water, fell unconscious, his face was wrinkled into an old orange, his original gray hair was all white, and he was bitten off a lot by fish, his scalp was like a bald man, bloodstained, and his spirit was sluggish.
"Didn't the Huns believe in the dragon god, why did you summon the eagle god?"
Jin Guohua's white brows furrowed, and he hesitated for a long time before saying: "We believe in the dragon god, but the dragon god cannot be summoned, and the most clever wizard can only summon the wolf god and the eagle god." ”
"In that case, why are you standing by the Yellow River?"
"Although we can't summon the dragon god, we need to use the power of the dragon god to summon the eagle god." Jin Guo bowed: "Without the dragon god, we have no mana, just as without water, there is no life." ”
Liu Wei pondered: "So, the spell you recited is the spell that summons the Eagle God?" ”
Jin Guo was silent. He remembered the strange situation when he was attacked, and the corners of his eyes twitched. He had not been in contact with Liu Wei before, although both of them were by the Yellow River, but he was five hundred steps upstream, how could Liu Wei hear him chanting a mantra?
Liu Wei smiled and opened his mouth to recite a string of notes, he didn't know what these notes meant, but he knew that this was the incantation that Jin Guo had recited at that time. As soon as he read two sentences, Jin Guo raised his head in astonishment and looked at Liu Wei in disbelief.
"You...... How do you know this spell? ”
"If you sue you, those fish are following my orders to attack you, do you believe it?"
Jin Guo was dumbfounded, his body trembled, he slowly knelt on the ground, crawled forward, kneeled in front of Liu Bian, hugged Liu Bian's feet, and kissed his combat boots: "Supreme Dragon God, Jin Guo is willing to be your servant." ”
Liu Wei smiled: "Since you are willing to be my servant, then tell me the spells of your Huns first." ”
"Master, I do, I do." Jin Guo's old tears are vertical and horizontal, and his hair is flying.
Liu Wei looked at Xun You: "Gongda, you can also listen to it, and let Cai Yan make a record." ”
Xun Yu was overjoyed and hurriedly agreed.
……
Chang'an, Zhang Liao walked into the official house, took off his armor, looked around, and walked into the backyard with his sword.
The two halberd-wielding guards bowed to him, opened the door, let him in, and then closed it again.
Zhang Liao walked slowly to a hut and knocked on the wooden door.
"Wen Yuan, come in." A lazy voice came from inside. Immediately afterwards, the teeth creaked, Jia Xu yawned, and said with a smile: "I hope you have made important progress, otherwise, it will disturb my dream, and I can't spare you." ”
Zhang Liao smiled: "Mr. Wenhe, I arranged to see a secret letter in the eyeliner of Changliuting in the west of the city, which was given to Han Sui. ”
Jia Xu raised his eyebrows and smiled faintly: "Sure enough." ”。 (To be continued......)
