Following the fox deer all the way, after about a quarter of an hour's hike, Yang Yan came to a dome. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Meet Zuo Tu ......" A Hun nobleman who was guarding in front of the dome came forward with dozens of warriors, knelt on one knee, and saluted the fox deer.

"Today is Captain Zuo on duty?" Fox Lushi glanced at the nobleman in surprise and asked suspiciously.

After the disastrous defeat of the Huns in the sixth year of Yuande, the Xiongnu nobles who retreated north held a meeting in Guyan Mountain, and it was at that meeting that Hulushe and Juli Lake reached a consensus.

The dual leadership system of Juli Lake as Shan Yu and Hulu as Zuo Xian Wang was established.

At the same time, it also established the distribution of the most important left and right generals, left and right commanders, and left and right big households in the Xiongnu system.

Among them, those on the left are basically people from Juli Lake, while those on the right are all people from Huluwa.

And the security of Shan Yu and King Zuo Xian is guarded by these six people in turn.

In this way, it is impossible for either Juli Lake or Fox Deer to attack each other.

For if either of them tries to attack the other, he will be attacked by the other's cronies.

It is this balance of terror that makes both Juli Lake and Fox Deer Wade feel at ease with each other.

At the very least, don't doubt and speculate about the other party, will it be bad for you?

It is precisely because of this that in the crisis at that time, the Xiongnu Empire was not divided, let alone a civil war.

However, this system is not invulnerable.

And the human heart is always fickle and suspicious.

Yang Yan smiled quietly in his heart, he already knew what he should do in the future?

"Returning to the great Zuo Tu Xuan, today is the right big boss Hu Yan and Sacral on duty, however, because the king of Qiuzi and the king of Shule suddenly arrived, so the great Da Dan Yu sent the right big boss to meet him, and the right general Lan She, who was supposed to be a substitute, has been sent to Zhaosu by you three days ago......" Zuo Dadu Lieutenant smiled and said: "If the great Tu Yu is not at ease, the slave can go and call the right Dadu Lieutenant to come here......"

Fox Lushi's face stiffened, and after a while, he said with a smile: "Ben Tu Yu just said it casually, Captain Zuo is a little allergic......"

As he spoke, he took Yang Yan and walked straight to the entrance of the vault under the protection of his trusted warriors.

And at this moment, Yang Yan obviously noticed the seriousness and uneasiness on Fox Lushi's face.

Although this look was only fleeting, it was enough to explain the problem.

"Yes...... Even in China, there is still Zheng Gongkeduan, and the matter of the sand dunes ......" Yang Yan thought in his heart: "What's more, it's the Huns of Yidi?" ”

However, Yang Yan is also very clear that now, between Juli Lake and Hulu She, even if there are wrongs, suspicions and filthiness, the position and determination of the two are the same.

Therefore, at this time, not only should we not separate these two people, but we should also do a good job of appeasing and persuading.

Just thinking about it, Hulu Shi had already lifted the curtain of the dome and walked into the camp of the Hun Shan Yu.

Yang Yan hurriedly followed.

As soon as he entered the vault, the fox deer shone down on one knee and bowed: "The fox deer has seen the big single in the ......."

And the impotence is only slightly bowed to show respect.

This is the privilege of the high-ranking intellectuals of the Han family in the Xiongnu! It was also one of the policies of the Xiongnu who were eager to win over and encircle the literati from the Han dynasty.

In today's Xiongnu, especially among the Northern Xiongnu, although Han was considered a mortal enemy by all the Xiongnu nobles, everyone swore to take revenge for the humiliation since the Battle of Mayi.

However, the status of the Han people within the Xiongnu is soaring!

Nowadays, there is a Han dynasty bloodline that can even be looked up to. Even slaves can get some better treatment.

And the status of the literati and military officers who defected to the Huns is even more unimaginable.

has all kinds of privileges, is a master, and a high-level intellectual like Yang Yan is regarded as a noble existence equal to the royal family.

Let women have women, and slaves have slaves.

Many Han officials and generals who were captured or came to vote were attracted by him.

Fortunately, so far, the Huns have not received an active officer above Sima of the Han family.

The highest-ranking Han officer the Huns received was nothing more than a team leader.

Moreover, this team still refused to surrender, eating the Huns, drinking the Huns, and playing with the Huns all day long, but scolded them every day.

And the Huns are like a small sufferer, he beats by him, he scolds by him.

It seems that he wants to use water to grind and corrupt and influence this person.

It's a pity that Yang Yan never saw that man, let alone knew where he was held by the Huns.

I just know that this person was captured by the Huns from Youbeiping County during the Battle of Yan Ji.

Otherwise, Yang Yan would have already taken action and contacted this person.

"The Xiongnu group seems to be brave and unscrupulous, ignorant and backward, but it is frustrated but not broken, defeated but not discouraged, knowing that mistakes can be changed, and only when they see can they be used...... It is indeed the great enemy of China! Yang Yan thought in his heart, and heard the voice of Juli Lake: "King Zuo Xian is here...... Get up quickly......"

He took the hand of the fox deer, walked to a map drawn in sheepskin, and said triumphantly: "Zuo Tuyu, please see, this is the map of the West that the craftsmen have just drawn...... It's really exquisite, with this map, the land of thousands of miles in the west is all under the iron hooves of my Huns......"

Since the time of the military ministers, the exploration and detection of the Western world by the Huns have never stopped.

Even when the Xiongnu went south and launched the Battle of Yan Ji, the Xiongnu nobles in the Western Regions never stopped their reconnaissance activities in the West.

And this time, the expedition to the west of Juli Lake mobilized all forces, trying to understand the geography and reality of the Western world.

Now it seems that he has done it!

Since then, the world west of the Green Ridge has opened its doors to the Hun cavalry!

And this made Yang Yan even more worried in his heart, he was afraid that the Huns were really determined to move west!

Hulu Shi looked at the sheepskin map, although it was rough, far less delicate and delicate than the military map of the Han Dynasty that the Huns had obtained, but the general outline of the Western world was also depicted.

On this map, there are not only the main cities and activity areas of Kangju, Great Xia, and Yueshi, but also the location of the poison, and even the more western world.

The unknown land tens of thousands of miles away.

"Good!" The fox deer stroked his palms and praised: "With this picture, I don't have to worry about the Huns!" ”

For today's Xiongnu, the most feared thing is actually that Hexi's canal and carving difficulties suddenly surrendered to the Han Dynasty, and then the Han Dynasty's soldiers crossed Hexi like lightning and directly attacked the weakness of the Xiongnu Empire - the Western Regions.

At that time, the Huns will really be at the end of their rope.

It is even likely to be strangled by the Han army in the Green Ridge.

And with this map, the Huns could prepare various strategies step by step, and even arrange a back road.

Once the Han Dynasty captured Hexi, or suddenly went crazy and surrendered, the Xiongnu could also move westward calmly.

Can't beat it, can't I run away?

Of course, the Xiongnu will not move west unless it is absolutely necessary!

Because, whether it is the fox deer wading or the sentence plough lake, they all understand.

The Xiongnu who moved west will no longer be the Xiongnu.

Just like the Yueshi, today's Yueshi, where is there anything like the biggest enemy of the Xiongnu Empire in the past?

Their army, like a toy, shattered at the slightest touch in front of the Hun cavalry.

Tens of thousands of horsemen could not be attacked by thousands of horsemen of the Huns, so they could only flee in the wilderness, and even the royal court was discarded!

Is this still the Yueshi who once competed with Mao Dun Da Shan Yu and Lao Shang Da Dan Yu?

When did the Yueshi people become so weak?

The Huns were puzzled.

In the end, Juli Lake figured out when he withdrew his troops, it was not the Yueshi people who became weaker, but the Huns who became stronger! And it's so strong that the people of the Yue clan look up to it!

Why did the Huns get stronger?

The answer is the Han Dynasty!

If there was no pressure from the Han Dynasty and the deterrence brought by the Han army, what stirrups and saddles would there be for the Xiongnu today? And how can there be so many subtle and powerful tactics?

And how can they play and play with Western countries with impunity?

To be reasonable, at the beginning, the military ministers attacked Dawan, fought for a year, killed and injured tens of thousands, and finally relied on besieging and slaughtering the city to destroy Dawan.

But now, the Xiongnu Empire can sweep through the countries like a curtain, and in the west it is like a no-man's land.

Kangju, Daxia, and Yueshi, such a large country that can mobilize tens of thousands of cavalry, are vulnerable in front of the Huns!

And once the Xiongnu gave up the northern part of the country and the Western Regions and chose to move westward, without the pressure of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu would go to the same path as the Yue clan in prosperity and comfort.

"The land of Shenzhou, the center of all nations, is also the place where all gods are loved, and it is also ......" Ju Lihu thought in his heart: "Once you are expelled from this place, it means leaving the center of the world and losing the favor of the gods......"

This is the change in his thinking caused by the invasion of culture from the Han Dynasty, and it is also the emotion caused by what he saw and heard during this expedition to the west.

The countries of the West, even the most civilized country of Great Xia, were nothing more than babies who had just learned the language compared to the Han Dynasty in the south.

It simply can't be compared!

Though these kingdoms are rich, their people are many.

But most of them are weak and ignorant, and only a few nobles are considered wise.

And the land of China, the gods are bells, heaven and earth are blessed, outstanding people, and heroes and heroes emerge in endlessly.

It's like......

Ju Lihu raised his head and looked at the well-dressed doctor in front of him, with his sleeves together.

Such talents, in the countries of the West, are almost impossible!

Not just his intellect and vision, but more importantly - temperament!

This kind of temperament is indescribable, like the clouds on the holy mountain, unpredictable, but it makes people yearn for and get close.

"Yang Gongzi ......" said to Yang Yan in pure elegant language, and said: "I heard that Yang Gongzi recently discussed a decision with Zuo Tu Hao about the problems of various countries in the Western Regions? I don't know if the son is willing to draw a word or two on this list? ”

Since the battle of Yan Ji, Juli Lake and Hulu She, who were determined to sinicize and carry out the reform of the Han system at the same time, took the lead in learning and using Han characters and etiquette, and even sometimes they would pass on Hanfu and meet with visiting guests with Han aristocratic etiquette.

If it weren't for the Huns' stubby stature and the scarring marks on their faces, they would have been so obvious that they would have thought they had met a Chinese nobleman.

And these reforms, although touched the interests of many Xiongnu nobles, even caused a lot of dissatisfaction.

But when Ju Lihu returned victoriously, the huge benefits instantly resolved all dissatisfaction and resentment.

Today's Xiongnu domestic departments are vying to learn and use Han script and etiquette.

The younger generation has even abandoned the traditional coming-of-age rites of the Xiongnu nobility of the past – no longer stabbing their faces and noses.

Yang Yan is not very clear, what will the future world become of the Huns if they do this?

But he knows what his mission is.

He bowed slightly, and said to Juli Lake: "Don't dare to ask ...... as a big order."

He looked at Hulu Shea with a smile and said, "Recently, I have been discussing the affairs of the countries of the Western Regions......

"In the humble opinion of the below...... The countries of the Western Regions are all vassals of the Xiongnu, but they do their own thing, each with its own script and system...... For example, the country of Loulan even has writing, etiquette, system, and clothing independent of other countries...... Another example is the country of Shule, although it is close to Shan Yu, but in the country, it secretly accumulates armor and secretly prepares armor......"

"This is the disadvantage of the Huns, in the fear that he will be trapped by the day alone, so he discussed with Zuo Tuluxe, and suggested that the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period should be ......"

"Huh?" When Juli Lake heard this, his face turned straight.

Although he is a descendant of the twin clans, he is the son of the old Shangshan Yu.

However, there is one fact that he will never forget - he has half Chinese blood in his body!

Therefore, the current internal propaganda tone of the Xiongnu Empire directly recognizes that the Xiongnu Twin Clan is the descendant of the Xiahou clan in China - this is not only because Juli Lake itself was born, but also because the Xiongnu Empire had to take measures.

Because, the emperor of the Han Dynasty was not only considered by the Han Dynasty to be a god king, but even the Huns mostly believed in such a thing.

Even in the Northern Xiongnu, even in the most remote Jinshan Mountains, among the local Xiongnu tribes, there were herdsmen who believed in and worshiped this god king.

If the ruling class of the Xiongnu could not find a way to counter it, then the Xiongnu would not have been able to defeat the Han Dynasty at all, and it was even possible that once the war began, the ignorant believers would defect......

Who dares to oppose their own gods?

There is no way, the Twins must and can only approve the same God King Skin to balance the situation.

But the problem is that after experiencing the military ministers, no one will believe in the great gods. ，

As a last resort, the Twin Clan could only admit that he was indeed the Xia Hou Clan, and use this Han Dynasty's own propaganda caliber to justify himself.

In this way, as the Xia Hou clan, the Xiongnu Shan Yu after the Chinese Holy King and the Divine Emperor, had the capital to confront the Chinese Son of Heaven in theory.

At the very least, the Chinese Son of Heaven himself recognized and respected Emperor Yu.

Of course, this also brings a problem - once the Han army advances westward or the northern expedition, as long as the Xiongnu are defeated, their tribes and herders will be easily absorbed and assimilated by the Han people.

But there is no way!

If they don't, the Huns will die, and after doing so, the Huns will at least have a chance.

Even, maybe in the future, after surviving the current emperor, the Huns will still have the opportunity to enter China with dignity and inherit that great empire?
