Chapter 690: Real Trouble
Zhao Gao and Mai Linglong were silent when they came, and they were still deserted when they returned. It seems that the bloody turmoil in Chang'an City in the past few days is like a bubble phantom, and there is even a little unbelievable reality. In this legendary historical giant city, the actions of the two are just like dragonflies in the water, and they choose to leave in a hurry without meeting with any decisive big people.
It doesn't make sense.
Above the court, the situation is changing rapidly under the influence of various forces, and no one is sure which direction the situation will develop until a formal decision comes out. Especially at this time, all the elites of the entire Han Wu era are concentrated here, and no one is sure which direction the final decision will go in or what kind of way it will be implemented.
Dongfang Shuo's ability to completely release himself is indeed strong, but at the moment he is just a middle-to-senior official of about a thousand stones, even if he has the identity of the Son of Heaven's close attendant, if he wants to affect the established national policy in a short period of time, it is impossible for him to pass the level of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Gongsun Hong, who can firmly occupy the position of prime minister under the command of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and even the controller is willing to be a subordinate official, how can he be an easy person?
Zhao Gao chose to leave decisively at this time, and the meaning is worth pondering - but Mai Linglong is thinking about another question.
A problem that she suddenly realized, and then she could never get rid of.
"Do you think it's strange that the three main directions of our mission this time happen to be the three plot worlds that are deeply related to us: we met in the Eastern Han Dynasty, when you got the command of the first guard under Ren Guang, which can be said to be the starting point of your career model; In the Battle of Hexi of Qin and Wei, you killed Naizong and received the first enhancement of your talent; As for the plot of the Great Han, although you have not directly experienced it, it is the world that the shepherd you killed is mainly run by, which is equivalent to having an inexplicable connection with you - if you look at the first link of our mission in the Eastern Jin Dynasty together, it is too much of a coincidence - it seems that it is all arranged for you in the dark. β
Mai Linglong did not have any doubts about Zhao Gao's decision, but her natural acumen quickly fused all kinds of information at this time, and used the simplest reverse deduction method to reach a conclusion close to the truth.
Zhao Gao smiled bitterly and did not respond.
The information he knew was far above Mai Linglong, and the conclusions he could draw were naturally much earlier than Mai Linglong. However, this did not determine anything, and he still had to follow the pace of fate, reluctantly trying to survive.
Just like in front of you, if you can't convince Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, then at the same time as the Huns are destroyed, it will be the moment when everything that the old guy's team has worked so hard to manage will be wiped out.
But what if you know? He didn't choose, because fate never gave him a chance to choose, even if it was all deliberately arranged, then he could only try his best to move forward.
"Actually, we don't have to care about what those ministers think, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is arbitrary, and those so-called famous ministers are just tools for him to implement his will, how can they affect his decision?" Zhao Gao did not answer Mai Linglong's words, but answered Mai Linglong's first question from another aspect, "It is impossible for Dongfang Shuo to affect the decision of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the only thing that can affect him must be the current situation." β
In history, the Xiongnu as the feud of the Han Dynasty and the only strong enemy, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in order to eliminate it can be said to spare no effort, Zhang Qian's external alliance with the Western Regions and the power of Liu Xijun and Princess Xie Wu to marry Wusun can be regarded as one of the strategies - to be able to endure for six years under the condition that the Empress Dowager Dou is in power and smoothly receive all the power, Liu Che in addition to the ability to do what people can not do in history, but also can endure the unbearable, this is the true bearing of the Han family can bend and stretch.
At present, with the integration of the plot world, the general trend of the world is far from being as simple as the original Han-Hungarian contradiction. The Xiongnu are still feuding, but there are two powerful countries on the left and right sides at the same time, so everything needs to be reconsidered.
"What Liu Che wants is to surrender, then the Huns will surrender." Zhao Gao said as he bent his fingers and made a kneeling motion, indicating that this time the Huns would give up all their dignity in order to live.
"Will the Huns be willing?" Mak Linglong's doubts are not unreasonable. As the overlord of the steppe, the blood of pride of the Xiongnu flowed into almost everyone's body. The warriors of the grassland have never been afraid of death, just like the eagle in the sky, how can they take the initiative to be domesticated?
Zhao Gao didn't care about this, Mai Linglong was right, but it didn't affect the conclusion of his inference. He had already touched on this point when he discussed it with the Bank of China, and in the face of the majesty of this son of the Han family, surrender was the only choice to survive.
Because personal pride and national survival are still different after all.
The Huns can be proud and can give up their lives for honor, which is the capital of the Xiongnu to rise again; But the Xiongnu people can't be proud, they can't give up the hope of living for the sake of so-called dignity, this is the overall situation that the Xiongnu leader Yi Zhishan must take into account, the equality of power and duty, and sometimes it is so fair.
Maybe in the future, this humiliated Shan Yu will inevitably bear the title of coward, after all, the bottom line given by the Bank of China has pierced the last face of all the Huns.
ββIn order to show his surrender, the Xiongnu Hutu crown prince Jin Riyan entered Chang'an and raised horses for Emperor Wu!
In history, Jin Riyan was a prisoner of Huo Quai, was arranged in the stable of Shanglin Yuan, and was later appreciated and promoted by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty by chance, and grew step by step into one of the four ministers of the last Tuogu, he was enough to show the sincerity of the Huns in the level of historical plots.
What's more, in the secret covenant, the Huns were even willing to give away more than 100,000 horses from the entire Hutu Wang tribe - this tribe originally had the intention of being pro-Han, and this Xiongnu's westward advance was originally a life of nine deaths, and it was not so important that there were many people. Some of the branches and leaves that were not the headquarters were harvested, which was within the tolerance of the Huns.
Of course, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would not choose to let the Xiongnu go just by virtue of Jin Riyan's personal feelings, this is just a step, after all, from the perspective of practical interests, in the case of strong enemies on the left and right, it is not a good choice to fight to the death with the Xiongnu. Jin Ilyan, who is deeply involved in his own rules, can bring hundreds of thousands of people, which is undoubtedly one of the important reference factors.
This result, in fact, has the only definite answer from the beginning, and there may be twists and turns in the process, but that should be something that Dongfang Shuo and Zhao Gao deterred the big names among the pioneers to consider, and he no longer needs to plan it himself.
The real value of using violent means to conquer the controller and others lies in this.
Mai Linglong nodded thoughtfully, although these were not the answers to her questions, but they also relieved her many doubts, just wanted to say something more, suddenly heard a crisp and pleasant sound that seemed to come from a distance, and unconsciously stopped.
"Our real trouble, after all, is still coming." Zhao Gao obviously also heard the sound of the qin, let out a long sigh, and then walked in the direction of the sound of the qin.
PS: Who's coming? It's not hard to guess, guess the middle plus a chapter.
