Section 1572 The Third Road of the Xiongnu (2)

Wearing a silk brocade robe imported from the Han Dynasty, Hulu Shi was dressed in fluttering clothes, like the Han family doctors and nobles, lying on a soft bed, holding a roll of bamboo slips in their hands. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

This is a set of treasures that Fox Lu Shi recently pulled out of the Xiongnu's collection.

The great sage work from the Chinese Legalist - "The Book of Shang Jun".

This may be the dowry of the princess of the Han Dynasty who was close to the Han Dynasty during the Mao Dun Shan Yu or Lao Shang Shan Yu period.

It has been abandoned by the Huns in a cave in Guyan Mountain, rotting and moldy.

Until he was turned over by the fox deer, he immediately found a treasure.

Unfortunately, this set of scriptures has been corroded a lot in that cave, and only two or three volumes are still recognizable, and the rest are already blurred.

"It's really a quote of truth......" Putting down the bamboo slip in his hand, the fox deer was full of emotion.

Every word on this bamboo slip touched his heart.

In his eyes, Shang Junshu is no longer just a book, a theory, and an idea.

It is also a complete and rigorous social system, which is tightly integrated from top to bottom.

Or a rumbling war machine pointing to a strong future.

"If I, the Huns, got this book ten years earlier, changed it according to the words of the Shang Jun, and used the system of the Shang Jun to motivate the upper and lower levels, how could I get the shame of Ma Yi, the defeat of Gao Que, and the humiliation of Yan Ji?" He sighed and shook his head.

The past is no longer traceable.

Today, the Xiongnu are trapped in the cold and bitter land of the northern part of the country, and they are maintained by the resources of the Western Regions and the victorious results of the Western Expedition.

The country is struggling and weak.

Even many nobles are already reluctant to turn south.

They just want to stay away from the Han Dynasty, away from the Great Wall, away from that nightmare.

Hulushi has no doubts at all, as long as the Han army crosses the Hanhai Sea or opens up the Hexi Corridor.

Then, the Xiongnu nobles in the Western Regions and the northern part of the Makubei will immediately take the army and the people and run wildly to flee to Kangju and Great Xia in the west.

Because, if you are just against the people of the Han Dynasty, you will definitely die!

And when you go to the West, you can be at ease and happy like a fairy.

Fools know how to choose!

I didn't see that the Xu Bu clan had already put his Daxu in the 'Shan Yu City' in the territory of Kangju.

The Huyan clan did not do badly, and their main force and tribe of ten thousand horsemen all migrated westward to the land of Wusun.

Other departments, large and small, are basically making similar plans.

Once the Han army launched a large-scale northern expedition or a westward expedition, the wind was tight.

Throw the Western Regions and the land of the northern part of the country to the Han Dynasty, hoping that these lands can fill the stomachs of the Han Dynasty people, so that the Han Dynasty people will not come to chase and kill them.

On the contrary, it was the 'Jebe cavalry' recruited in the Western Regions and Western Great Xia and Kangju who were willing to live and die with their masters.

"Great Tu Lu, King Jebel asks to see ......" At this time, the voice of his cronies and nobles came from the door.

"Passing on the ......" Hulushi hurriedly tidied up his clothes, sat upright, and sat upright.

In front of Yang Gang, Fox Lu Shi has always been a little ashamed of himself, especially when he reads more and more books.

"The minister greets Tu Lu, ......" Yang Yan saw the fox and deer wake, and bowed slightly.

"King Jebel, please sit down quickly......" Fox Lushi immediately greeted with a smile: "Someone! Tea set for King Jebel......"

Not long after, there was a Daxia maid, holding a set of fragrant tea sets.

Although the Han and Hungarians were currently at war, the war could not block the trade routes, nor could it stop the pace of merchants chasing profits.

In Junji Mountain, in Shunde, and in Punushui, there are Han and Hungarian merchants who are quietly trading every day.

The Huns took the wealth, women, and slaves they had plundered from the West, and constantly imported what they wanted from the Han Dynasty.

These include books, weapons, spices, silks, ceramics and even tea and tea sets.

Driven by profits, the merchants even dared to sell the standard armor (leather armor and chain mail) of the Han army to the Huns.

In the past month, the smuggling trade between Han and Hungary has been extremely prosperous.

Tea alone, thousands of stones flowed into the Northern Xiongnu.

And at the price, the Huns lost a third of their gold for their conquest in the west, half of their precious stones, and all of their silver.

In addition, tens of thousands of slaves were sent to Han Dynasty merchants.

Yang Yan did not know how much weapons, equipment and metals the Huns bought from which smuggling merchants, but he knew very well that the Huns bought a large amount of silk, tea, and ceramics.

Nowadays, the nobles in the Xiongnu Kingdom basically have several sets of silk clothes.

In the dome, there are ceramic utensils, and in the kitchen, there are iron pots and kitchen knives.

Especially those heroes of the Western Expedition who suddenly became rich, they spent money without blinking their eyes.

As far as they are concerned, even if they spend it all, it would be good to go to the west and grab it again.

In any case, the people of the West are extremely weak, and the armies are incapable of fighting.

And this set of tea sets in front of Yang Yan is extremely exquisite, the whole body is cyan, smooth and delicate, and the appearance is carved with bird and beast patterns, which is beautiful.

Such a set of tea sets, Yang Lun inquired, and it would take the same weight of gold or hundreds of slaves to buy from the smugglers.

Gently picked up the teacup, took a sip of the tea in the cup, and tasted the fragrance between the lips and teeth.

"Tu Lu ......" Yang Yan put down the teacup, made a draft in his heart, and then said: "I heard that recently, there are poisonous slaves who are said to be worthy of horses, and they offer advice to Tu Luxury, and want to use the so-called 'varna' system to poison the Huns?" ”

"Is there such a thing...... "What does King Jebel think?" ”

The folded horse was a trophy brought back from Great Bactria by Juli Lake.

It has nothing to do with him, but the system proposed by this slave is quite recognized by many Hun nobles.

Juli Lake has been shaken.

After all, the current Xiongnu Empire is facing the most powerful empire and the strongest war system that mankind has ever created.

It is a terrible army based on the Shang monarch's cultivation and warfare system, packaged with faith and ideas, inspired by honor and status, and sharpened with iron and blood.

There is also a contemporary unsolvable bug army - cuirassiers, as the backbone of the Chinese army.

Except God, the Huns couldn't think of anyone else who could defeat the Han army?

Even if it was Juli Lake and Hulu She, they did not dare to imagine that they would be able to defeat the Han army in their lifetime.

At most, they dreamed about it, and after reform, the regrouped Hun cavalry, with the help of the desert natural hazards, waited for work at ease, and thwarted the Han Dynasty's attempt to advance north or west.

Buy time for the revival and development of the Xiongnu Empire.

That's all.

As for the Makunan, Gaoque and the Great Wall?

All the Huns knew that they would never go back.

This is not only because the combat power of the Han Dynasty army makes them desperate, but also because of the unequal strength of the Han and Hungarian states.

The total population of the Xiongnu headquarters is also less than one of the Han counties.

Even if you count the slaves and the population of the countries in the Western Regions, it is only the eleventh of the Han Dynasty that survives.

With such a huge disparity in strength, what did the Huns do to fight with the Han Dynasty?

Cavalry?

Joke!

Now, the models and standards of the world's cavalry are all from the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, under this despair and lack of confidence in future victory, the nobles of the Xiongnu State are actually already following the trend.

At this time, the folding horse came out and threw out the 'varna' system that was poisoned by itself.

It immediately hit the souls of countless people.

Many people believe that instead of going to great lengths to learn from the Han Dynasty and engage in some kind of summer affairs movement, not to mention subverting the ancestral system, it also gives slaves and aliens the opportunity to ascend to the throne.

It doesn't always have any effect.

It's better to be this Val.

Nobles will always be nobles, and slaves will always be slaves.

People are divided into grades, and blood is divided into dirty.

What a wonderful design, what a perfect construction!

Could there be a better thing to do than this?

"Tu Lu ......" Yang Yan looked at Hulu She, he knew that he had to convince the Hun nobleman in front of him. He took a deep breath and bowed to the fox deer: "Dare to ask Tu Hao: Tu Hao thinks that Navarna's system is beneficial to the Huns?" ”

"Naturally, there is......" Hulu said with a straight face: "At least, the implementation of this system can ensure the eternal wealth and wealth of the nobles of the various tribes, and even buy the noble royal families of the Western Regions, so that they can do their best to serve my Huns!" ”

This is precisely the terrible thing about this so-called Varna system.

It is a perfect system designed for the conqueror, for the superior, for the meat-eater.

The absolute interests of the conquerors, the superiors and the meat eaters were ensured institutionally, religiously, theoretically, and faithfully.

ensured that the nobles of the upper class, even if it was a pig, could be as stable as Mount Tai.

For the Xiongnu, there is an irresistible temptation for the royal families and nobles of the Western Regions.

Especially the Huns!

Since the battle of Yan Ji, the Xiongnu headquarters suffered heavy losses, and almost a third of the young and strong men died. The fall of Hexi caused the Xiongnu to lose more than 100,000 people in their headquarters.

The population size of the Xiongnu Empire had fallen to an all-time low.

This forced Juli Lake to transfer a large number of other tribes and slaves to the Xiongnu headquarters, and strengthened the Jebel system in the era of military ministers, so that the Xiongnu Empire would not collapse.

But woe has already been sought.

As the backbone and main body, the population of the Xiongnu headquarters, that is, the Twin Clan, the Subu Clan, the Huyan Clan, the Lan Clan, and the clans of other tribes, fell to the second or even the third group in the population composition of the empire.

The foundations of the Xiongnu Empire's rule were already crumbling.

Approaching a big country with a small number of people, and ruling the people with a few people.

The Huns themselves were hairy in their hearts.

Who can guarantee that the alien slaves and Jebe cavalry, who make up the majority of the population, will always be loyal?

Who can make sure that the countries of the Western Regions will not unite against the water?

The population of the Xiongnu headquarters has been reduced to less than 300,000.

Do you think that in such a situation, the Huns would be able to sleep?

The varna system of the horse is equivalent to a poor traveler who sees a campfire in the wilderness, and even if he knows that it is dangerous, he may have to try it closely.

Because, this system can at least solve the scourge of the Huns to rule the people with a small number of people and a large country with a small number of people.

This system was more in line with the interests of many Xiongnu nobles, especially those whose interests were damaged during the Xia Movement.

They have little reason to reject the system.

The shamans jumped up and down, drumming for noise.

Flags and shouts for the folded horses, applause and cheers.

The ambiguity of Juli Lake's attitude is even more infinitely inflated, and finally enough noise has accumulated before this tellurium forest conference.
