Chapter 659: The First Traitor
Throwing hundreds of explorers into the north is like throwing a large pile of quicklime into the water, or throwing a pile of dead manure into the second dimension, or throwing durian into a nest of flies, and gradually moving towards chaos is the inevitable and only outcome.
However, there is a gradual process in everything. At least from the immediate point of view, although the frequency of friction between tribes and tribes is a little higher, it is nothing in the context of the entire vast northern barbarian land. After all, no matter how strong the ability of the explorers is, it is difficult for the individual mode of small fights to set off any big waves. Only when some of them accumulate merits and occupy different positions in different clans will the situation of the Great Scuffle be formally formed. At this time, under the snowball, their status is getting higher and higher, and the escalation of the war will implicate and spread, and everyone will participate in the war actively or passively.
As for the present, it is just a small dessert before the main meal.
In this case, Zhao Gao left Lao Ba and Mai Linglong to guard the old clan, and it was not very noticeable that he drove straight to the Xiongnu royal court.
The distance on the grassland is very long, but for the pioneers with extremely high values, the day and night journey is only more than half a month. The so-called nomadic tribes live in the grass, but in fact, there is no clear boundary line between the tribes on the grassland and the tribes themselves, and these tribes will gather together during the season when the fertile pasture grows to drive away the weak tribes.
However, this did not apply to the Xiongnu, because no tribe dared to put cattle and sheep around the Xiongnu tribe. Even if the straight-line distance between the two was dozens of miles, no one dared to take a step beyond Lei Chi.
The momentum of the steppe hegemon can be seen.
In the face of such a behemoth, Zhao Gao was naturally given a cold reception.
In terms of prestige, his legend and the title of "loyal man" endorsed by many historical figures are enough to make ordinary epic historical figures also hear his name; In terms of status, he is the head of the old clan with three cities; In terms of gifts, he took out almost half of the wealth accumulated by the Di clan over the years this time as the capital to open up the joints. However, even so, he still failed to get the summons he wanted after accepting a heavy bribe.
There is no other reason, in this grassland, whoever the Huns want to die will die, and which tribe will be destroyed will be destroyed, since they have already lived a life of relying on people's noses, then there is no grievance or grievance.
Zhao Gao is not discouraged, he can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, he doesn't have to worry about the things in the territory with Mai Linglong and Lao Ba, and whether he can handle the things here will determine the direction of the old guy's team's next move.
With shamelessness as the code of conduct, and having enough property as the foundation, ten days later, Zhao Gao finally got his wish to see the goal of this trip - a middle-aged man who was hunched over, with a sallow face, and always couldn't help coughing and seemed to die at any time.
The tent in which the man lived was not luxurious, and the utensils in the tent were extremely simple, and a few simple pieces of furniture were so dirty that they could not be seen from their original appearance. He had a foul-smelling leather scarf wrapped around his neck, which was black and shiny in some places; A leather robe connected with a sheepskin jacket looked a little ridiculous, and the cloth robe on the hem was probably because it had been too long to see what color it was, but it barely wrapped the lower body; With a pair of old sheepskin clogs on his feet, he dragged on the road, showing a very inconvenient appearance.
It was a waste that could not be drunk, or even grazed, but it occupied the closest position to the king's tent. If it weren't for the early prediction, no one would have expected that this was the most influential figure in the Xiongnu Dadan Yu Yizhixi.
The Bank of China, who was called the first traitor by later generations, said!
There is no controversy about the evaluation of this character in later generations, but for himself, what he has done in his life can be regarded as what he wants. Even in the face of the extremely powerful Han Dynasty, he still spent his life fulfilling his promises.
"I will do what I want, and it will be the trouble of Han!"
Emperor Wen of Han, who originally sent the princess and his relatives, would never have thought that the little eunuch who expressed his reluctance to go before leaving the fortress and finally forced him to die would become the biggest hidden danger of the Han Dynasty in the next few decades. He not only helped the ignorant Xiongnu establish their own cultural system and carried out a series of reforms to make the Xiongnu stronger, but also exterminated the Yueshi to pacify the Western Regions, allowing the Xiongnu to dominate while constantly insulting and coercing the Han Dynasty and repeatedly succeeding, and even almost came to the city of Chang'an!
In the case that the princess of Heqin has long been annihilated, the Bank of China said that he first assisted Lao Shangshan Yu, and then assisted his son Junchen Shan Yu, until Yi Zhi Xian Shan Yu killed the son of the military minister Shan Yu ascended to the throne, and still regarded him as the mastermind of the Xiongnu, determining the direction of the Xiongnu military and political diplomacy.
This person's ability is so strong, I am afraid that he will emerge in any troubled world, but unfortunately he was born at the wrong time and had a bad fate, and finally had to embark on an unspeakable dead road.
In the face of such a character, Zhao Gao's little tricks probably belong to the existence of nothing to hide at a glance.
"What is this?" Bank of China said that he pointed to a document specially presented by Zhao Gao, and asked seemingly unintentionally. At this time, he was actually having a very difficult time, his spirit and spirit were weakened to the extreme, and the hand pointing to the clerk was even trembling constantly - in fact, no matter who it was, it was impossible not to face the oppression of the peak strong man.
"Policing." Zhao Gao didn't dare to be careless, his move was a risky move, and it was a big move to judge the character of the Bank of China based on historical examples.
"Well, the famous Xuanshu Xian Minister Jia Yi's famous article." Bank of China nodded, took the paperwork in his hand and flipped through it, while Zhao Gao stood quietly to the side, patiently waiting for the result.
Jia Yi and BOC said that they can be regarded as contemporaries. As the Aichen of Emperor Wen of Han, the target of the Bank of China's deep hatred, the Bank of China said that it was impossible not to have heard of Jia Yi, and it was even impossible not to get his world-famous strategy, and this attitude at this time was obviously to put enough pressure on Zhao Gao.
"You're so daring!"
Sure enough, after reading the first few paragraphs, BOC's face suddenly changed, and he threw the document in front of Zhao Gao, and said angrily.
Zhao Gao did not panic, picked up the document, and read out the most important passage of the text generously, and his tone was quite audible: "It must be tied to the neck of the single Yu and control its life, and the line of Fu Zhongxing will be flogged on its back, and the Huns will only be ordered." ”
This is a slap in the face. Judging from Jia Yi's article, the devastated Han people have a deep hatred for the Bank of China in their hearts, and even his name is specifically mentioned in such an article on governing the country.
After reading these two sentences, Zhao Gao also casually put this strategy aside and sighed: "Seeking benevolence, I think Mr. should be very gratified." ”
"Hahaha......" After a pause, the tone of the Bank of China changed, and he suddenly showed a sad smile, which made the wrinkles on his entire face tangled like a knife, and Sen Ran said, "It's just that each is its own master, and there is nothing to be proud of." ”
This is a character who has been distorted and perverted, and the foundation of his enlightenment is probably that hatred occupies a large part of the factor, and now he has not been promoted to an epic historical figure, and I am afraid that it is inseparable from the final defeat of the Xiongnu.
Thinking about it, I also know that such an amazing person even did not hesitate to become a eunuch in order to rise and realize his ambitions. However, fate played a big joke on him, and the ability he deliberately displayed actually made him choose to be the attendant of the princess, and he fought and tried, and finally transformed all the injustice of fate into the power of hatred, so that he could satisfy the last bit of pleasure of life in revenge.
He succeeded, if that could be considered a success.
"Hey, you're also a Confucian disciple!"
Up to now, the Bank of China finally looked at Zhao Gao for the first time, and after being a little surprised, he said in a disdainful tone.
PS: If you make this kind of bet, you have to cry even more.
