In ancient feudal dynasties, each ruler appointed a prince mainly based on the principle of "establishing a long, a successor, and a virtuous".

Lichang, the chosen heir, is old enough to prevent the emperor from relying too much on his relatives because he is too young, leading to the dictatorship of his relatives.

Liyan, the so-called "mother is more expensive than the son, and the son is more expensive than the mother", the status of the mother's family is high enough, of course, it is more powerful!

Lixian, relatives can't be provoked, ministers can't be provoked, the emperor always has to leave a way back for himself, if he likes any son too much, just say, this kid is more virtuous, and he can be justified as the prince.

These three principles are bound to be followed, and of course, there are also those who will not die if they do not die, such as Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Yang of Sui. Of course, Emperor Yang of Sui had no chance to appear, and Qin Shi Huang was a living and stark example of the great issue of the canonization of princes in this world.

At present, Dahua and the Xiongnu actually have the same problem, that is, the prince covets the position of prince. This is a very dangerous signal, and the slightest carelessness can lead to a series of human tragedies. The consequences are unimaginable.

Dahua's battle for the prince is actually more destructive than others, and that's because the two princes have about the same amount of power, so the struggle must be more difficult. But the Huns were different, although Toth also wanted to get to that position, but he knew very well that if there was no Touman behind him, it was estimated that Mao Dun would be able to strangle him with his little thumb in every minute.

"His Royal Highness the prince laughed, we Han people have a saying, it is called the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister!" Li Mingyuan smiled.

Toth said with interest. "Ask Dr. Li, what does this mean?"

The meaning is very simple, that is, the whole world belongs to the emperor. At present, you Huns have thousands of miles of grasslands and millions of people. But it's all one person! All the generals and princes who helped him manage the population of these places were Shan Yu's courtiers, so Shan Yu could do whatever he wanted! Li Mingyuan said demagoguously.

"Then according to what Doctor Li said, isn't it true that whoever Father Khan wants to be the king of Zuo Xian can let whoever he wants?" Toth swallowed.

"That's natural, otherwise can he still call Shan Yu?" Li Mingyuan said firmly.

A glimmer of light flashed in the eyes of both Toth and Hu Yanhao at the same time, indeed. This Han man is right. The head wolf sent by the Kunlun God to the Xiongnu alone, his words are the will of God in the Xiongnu. If you could really let Shan Yu directly announce in front of all the tribal princes that Thoth would become the king of Zuoxian, wouldn't it save a lot of trouble?

Just when the two Huns were spewed by Li Mingyuan's blood. Atilu was also in another tent trying to make a report. "Are you saying that the Han man stopped and slashed as soon as he came up?" Touman said in disbelief.

"Yes. And let me coerce and lure. Just gritted his teeth and refused to let go! Atilu said helplessly.

Touman has been fighting for most of his life, and he has never heard of such a person, and he can't figure it out for a while.

"You're a military advisor. Tell me what to do! Touman kicked the ball to Attilu again.

After pondering for a while, Atilu finally suggested, "I think it's just that Xiahou Yong of the Tiger Ben Army really can't survive much oil and water!" ”

Touman: "How so?" ”

"Just think about you, what an important matter this negotiation is, Xiahou Yong has been fighting with us for so many years, and he is also a very cunning guy, and he has Sun Xianyong, the old fox, to advise him, how could they send an inexperienced hairy boy to talk to us?" Atilu analyzed.

"You have a point!" Touman nodded in agreement.

"I guess this Dr. Li was sent out for a spin, and it is very likely that Xiahou Yong also knew that the price he offered was too low, and we would not agree, but he was unwilling to give up this glimmer of hope, so he took an insignificant young man to deal with us! But he wouldn't have thought that we were just here to blackmail them! Ati Lu laughed.

"Ha Luha, good, well, we just want to blackmail, we want to suck up the blood of the Han people!" Touman looked up to the sky and smiled.

Atilu also smiled in agreement, and then Touman said in high spirits, "Since this is the case, then we will follow what the Han people say, five achievements and fifty percent, it is better than nothing!" ”

Atilu nodded solemnly, but soon said worriedly, "Shan Yu, we have received money and food, do we really want to turn our faces and deny people on the spot?" I'm afraid that the spread of the city is not very good, and the current siege is not the right time! ”

"I've also thought about what you said, to be honest, I originally planned to use this battle to make the left and right Xianwang departments have some blood, at least not to directly threaten the Dao King Department like now. But at the moment when the army besieged the city, I relented again, no matter how I said it, it was a descendant of an ancestor, and I couldn't let innocent people die in vain for my own selfish interests! When Touman said this, he was already a little sad. Indeed, the male lord who once swept the grassland is now really old.

"Shan Yu, in fact, for the Huns at the moment, maintaining the status quo may be the best choice!" After hesitating for a while, Atilu slowly spoke.

Shan Yu glanced at this henchman who had followed him since he was a child, took a heavy breath, and stopped speaking.

The air is filled with tense oxygen, which makes people feel depressed and dull. Atilu somewhat regretted that he had spoken too much. After all, his sentence of maintaining the status quo is obviously not advocating the abolition of Zuo Xianwang Maodun, and learning this will make Touman dissatisfied with himself.

"I'll think about what you said, okay, you go get busy!" I don't know how long it took, Touman finally spoke slowly.

Hearing this, Atilu relented, and after saluting, hurried out of the tent. After the cold and fresh air of the respiratory tract, Atilu was much more sober, and after looking at the camp behind him, the wise man of the Huns clearly felt that the master he had served for most of his life was really old, but despite this, the tiger still existed.

"It seems that I have to find a time to talk to King Zuo Xian!" Attilu made up his mind in his heart.

At this time, in the king's tent, Li Mingyuan turned Toth's flickering fart upside down, making this guy feel that as long as his father Khan said a word. He will be able to successfully do the position that he thinks about day and night. This made Toth's impression of Li Mingyuan much better.

"Doctor Li is really a rare talent, why don't you go back to the Han people, you can be a military advisor for me here, and when I become a Hun Shan Yu, you must be indispensable!" Tosmemi.

Regarding this guy's suggestion, Li Mingyuan just smiled, and then fooled him with a sentence that I would consider it. Just kidding, he's not stupid, how could he put a good life aside and run here to live a savage life. And he only takes a shower twice a year. Kill him and he won't come!

Hu Yanhao is slightly more sane than Toth. But even if he was sensible, he was a little excited at the moment. As Thoth's uncle, of course, he hopes that his nephew will be able to become the Shan Yu of the Xiongnu in the future, so that his benefits will definitely not be less. But Zuo Xianwang has been a single candidate for so long. Won the support of the princes and nobles. There is also a huge Zuoxian Wang to rely on. It's not so easy to knock down, but after listening to Li Mingyuan's words, he feels that although this thing is difficult to do. But it's not impossible!

"What's so wonderful about Dr. Li?" Hu Yanhao took the initiative to lower the shelf.

"Of course there is a clever plan!" Li Mingyuan smiled.

"Please also ask Dr. Li to teach!" Torth said excitedly.

Facing the fiery eyes of the two, Li Mingyuan was also a little embarrassed, he originally wanted to take the opportunity to knock on the bamboo bar, but the attitude of the people was so sincere, and Li Mingyuan had always been very thick-skinned, and it was difficult to open this mouth.

"In fact, it is very simple for His Royal Highness Toth to ascend to the throne, you just need to keep showing yourself in front of Shan Yu, highlighting your points, such as filial piety, such as gentleness, which is in stark contrast to your irascible brother. At the same time, you must also take advantage of various opportunities to arrange all kinds of people to speak ill of your brother in front of Shan Yu and deepen the conflict between their father and son! If this goes on for a long time, the position of Shan Yu is none other than His Royal Highness! Li Mingyuan sketched a big pie.

Hearing this suggestion, Toth was even more overjoyed, and felt that he was one step closer to his great cause, but he quickly calmed down again, "How can this matter be as simple as you say, Dr. Li, even if I do it well?" Brother Wang has a heavy army, in case he doesn't listen to his father Khan's orders and resists to the end, what can I do! ”

Being in heaven, naturally not stupid. Although Toth has little brain, but his heart is like a mirror, he knows that he has no military power in his hands, and no one knows how to bird himself.

"Your Highness's words are wrong, what if your brother Wang has soldiers and horses? Those soldiers and horses were also Huns, and they were also the people of Shan Yu. Do you say they listened to Shan Yu or Zuo Xianwang? Besides, doesn't King Zuo Xian have an opponent? Could it be that all the princes and nobles like King Zuoxian? I don't think so! As the saying goes, the enemy of your enemy is your friend. Your Highness will understand this. As long as you don't deal with King Zuoxian, we'll win him all over! Li Mingyuan suggested bitterly.

After listening to Li Mingyuan's great truth, Toth had a sense of relief to see the blue sky through the clouds. Li Mingyuan's advice to him is very useful. Even Hu Yanhao put away his contempt. At this moment, he has to admit that when it comes to brains, the Han people are not a little bit stronger!

"Mr. Li's words made Xiao Wang have a lot of epiphany!" Toth looked at Li Mingyuan, tears of excitement were about to flow, after so many years, someone finally stood up to encourage him, saying that he had the hope of inheriting the treasure, although he was a Han, but no matter what, this could not change Toth's good impression of him.

"The prince is smart, and Li is just a little bit of a dial!" Looking at Thoth, who felt that he couldn't do it, Li Mingyuan couldn't help laughing, he wished that the Huns would make trouble for the sake of Shan Yu, and the more fierce the trouble, the better, so that he could have a chance to fish in troubled waters.

"Dr. Li, what do you think I should do now?" Thoth knew that this envoy was a very intelligent man, and his advice was generally excellent.

In the tent, the dark tide is surging, and the hearts of the people are stirring. Gao Zhiming looked at Li Mingyuan with admiration or admiration, perhaps, he couldn't think of any words to describe the eldest brother he followed.

Facing Toth's shameless attitude of asking, Li Mingyuan nodded with satisfaction, right, this is the attitude towards the master, since you are so sincere, then I will give you a little bit.

"Since the prince asked so, then I'll talk about it briefly!" Li Mingyuan said leisurely.

"Please also ask Mr. Li for advice!" Toth's face flushed with excitement.

"Beware of the ears on the wall!" Li Mingyuan was afraid that someone would hide in the dark and eavesdrop.

"That's easy, uncle. I'm tired of you going out and looking at the point! Toth commanded.

Hu Yanhao looked at Li Mingyuan and Gao Zhiming with some embarrassment, and felt that these two guys were here, and they left by themselves, and it was difficult to guarantee the safety of His Royal Highness the Prince.

"Zhiming, you and General Huyan go out to let the wind out!" Li Mingyuan waved his hand.

Gao Zhiming: "Huh? I? ”

Li Mingyuan: "Yes, yes, it's you, it's you, hurry up, time is running out!" ”

After seeing Gao Zhiming also leave. Hu Yanhao was relieved. He felt that these two Han envoys were one literary and one martial, and the martial ones went with him, and the literary ones would definitely not be able to make much waves.

"Please sir teach me!" Toth said piously.

"Lord Wang, there are three paths in front of you right now. They are the top, middle and bottom strategies. Would you like to hear it? Li Mingyuan said unfathomably.

"I want to hear it. Of course I want to hear it, Mr. Li, please speak! "Toth was in a hurry.

Li Mingyuan: "Then I'll talk about the next strategy first, this strategy is that you will attack now!" This will do you more harm than good, Your Highness! ”

Hearing Li Mingyuan's words. Thoth, who was a thief, couldn't help but look elsewhere.

"This Han man is not simple, I'm afraid that he also guessed that even if we received the money, he wouldn't give up, so he deliberately spoke to provoke me, right? Anyway, let's see what tricks he has to play for the time being! Toth thought to himself.

was really guessed correctly by this guy Toth, Li Mingyuan is also a good person. Originally, his so-called negotiation was to delay time and play with the Huns. Even if the money is really given, the Huns will definitely fight before leaving, otherwise it will be a big blow to morale. What's more, he is here to play with other people's feelings, you can imagine how angry the Huns will be once they know that they have been tricked.

"I know that His Royal Highness the Prince of the Dao must not be impressed by my words in his heart, it doesn't matter, you listen to me and follow you slowly!" Li Mingyuan analyzed as he spoke; "Assuming that this battle is won, the most glorious must be His Royal Highness Shan Yu and King Zuoxian, even if the clansmen praise them, they will also praise them, no one will say how much Your Highness has contributed to this victory! In this way, King Zuoxian, who is already in the middle of the day, is the icing on the cake, for you, the prince, this is very bad! ”

As soon as he heard this, Toth pondered in his heart, yes, I can't let my brother go on like this anymore, he was weak in alcohol, and under the advantages of one and the other, the gap will only get bigger and bigger!

"What if we lose the battle!" Toth asked rhetorically.

"If you lose the battle, it doesn't matter if King Zuo Xian is concerned, he can be said to be disadvantageous to command alone! No matter how it goes. In the end, he won! Li Mingyuan was angry.

Toston was silent.

Li Mingyuan smiled slightly and continued, "Then I'll tell the prince about the middle strategy!" This strategy is actually very simple, to put it bluntly, it is to find a way to retreat to the grassland, and not give King Zuo Xian this opportunity to be in the limelight, so as to narrow the gap between your brothers to the greatest extent! ”

Regarding Li Mingyuan's middle strategy, Toth still didn't express any opinions, but he was a little moved.

"What about the best policy, Mr. Li, what is the best policy?" After listening to the middle and bottom strategies, Toth was full of expectations for the best strategy.

"This is the best strategy, the most able to shorten the distance between you and the Great Treasure, but it also requires the most courage and strategy! Would His Royal Highness the Prince want to hear about it? Li Mingyuan tempted.

"Of course I want to, Mr. Li, say it quickly, I guess that Atilu guy will be back soon!" Toth can't wait.

Li Mingyuan: "Well, this best strategy requires Your Highness to take the initiative!" ”

Toth: "Please sir, please make it clear!" ”

"First of all, Your Highness, you need to find a way to weaken King Zuoxian's influence in the tribe, and at the same time keep it as far away from the political center as possible. For example, like a way to transfer it to the border to fight, what Wusun, Yueshi, let it go wherever there is something! Taking advantage of his absence, Your Highness, you must continue to strive for the power of Shan Yu and send your right-hand man to divide and disintegrate the Zuo Xian Wang's department! Whether it is coercion or inducement, it is necessary to make the enemy unable to unite internally and externally, and in this way, His Highness's great cause will be accomplished! Li Mingyuan said that he was the most embarrassed and excitedly punched.

These words went straight to Toth's heart, and he felt that what he said was so reasonable, and it was completely built for himself!

"Mr. Li said so well, now I am much more sober!" Toth was thrilled.

At this moment, Hu Yanhao shouted outside the tent: "Strategist, you are back, come in, the prince and the Han envoy are waiting for you!" ”

When the two of them heard this, they immediately put away their smiles and pretended to look at each other with a very hateful look, no one could have imagined that a few breaths ago, the two of them were still a pair of masters and apprentices.

Atilu saw that Hu Yanhao and the entourage of the Han envoy were not waiting inside, but ran outside to stand guard, and couldn't help but be a little suspicious in his heart, thinking that Thoth must be doing something with the Han envoy inside, but he was not good at questioning on the spot, so regardless of Hu Yanhao's intentional or unintentional obstruction, he rushed in quickly. However, the two people in the tent did not behave strangely, and everything seemed to be normal.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, why don't you let General Huyan serve you inside?" Attilu said with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Well, who said no, my uncle has always been there, but just now he said that it was too stuffy in the tent, so he went out to change the air!" Toth didn't startle.

Of course, Atilu would not believe this excuse. The Huns stayed in the tent for a few days in winter without ventilation, why couldn't they stand it for half a day today? There must be a ghost in this! (To be continued......)
