Chapter 262, the Prime Minister of the Huns

At this time, the court of the Xiongnu, in the royal tent of the Xiongnu, Touman sat on the throne of Da Danyu, a bonfire burned in the tent, driving away the cold outside the king's tent, and the tribe leaders of the Xiongnu were sitting below, these leaders were wearing cloaks made of various beasts, and there were meat and wine jugs on the table in front of them.

The tribal leaders gathered below by Touman had a serious face. The Xiongnu did not have a system of court meetings, generally as long as the task of foreign conquest was issued in Dadanyu, the leaders of all the tribes would gather to discuss the matter of sending troops, but this gathering was not for sending troops, but for these tribes to seek the support of Touman.

King Zuoxian, who was at the forefront of the tribal leader, looked at Touman and said

"Da Dan Yu, the heavy snow in early winter has seriously affected various tribes, killing and injuring countless cattle and sheep, even my Zuo Xian Wang Department has suffered serious losses, and my subordinates beg Da Dan Yu to give Zuo Xian Wang and the severely affected tribes cattle and sheep food, so that we can survive this cold winter in peace."

With the beginning of King Zuoxian, the other tribal leaders began to cry about how many cattle and sheep they had killed and injured in the cold winter, and I was afraid that this cold winter would not be able to survive. Looking at the noisy tribal leaders below, Touman's heart sneered, other tribes have suffered countless deaths and injuries due to the snow disaster, but his tribe has not? And some of the people below may really be unable to survive this cold winter because of the countless deaths and injuries of the big snow cow and sheep, but more people are just taking the opportunity to get more benefits.

Touman only felt irritated when he looked at the cry of the tribal leader below, and looked impatiently at King Zuo Xian, who caused this chaos, his good brother, King Zuo Xian, sat in his seat, cut the mutton in an orderly manner, and put it in his mouth, without the slightest appearance of asking for help.

The strength of the Zuoxian Wangbu is second only to the Hun Wangbu, and this year's snowstorm is indeed serious, but it will not make the Zuoxian Wangbu unable to survive the winter. Of course, Touman knew what his brother's purpose was, and he just wanted to use this snow disaster to damage his prestige again.

Seeing that Touman was silent for a long time, the tribal leaders below gradually stopped crying and quietly looked at Touman, who had a calm face above.

"That's all said and done, isn't it?" Touman looked at the silent tribal leader below and continued: "I know that this year's snow disaster is serious, and our entire Great Huns have been seriously affected, with countless dead and injured cattle and sheep, but when did my Hun sons choose to beg others for mercy because of natural disasters? Have you forgotten where our money, our women, and our food came from? ”

The tribal leader below was still silent, King Zuo Xian looked at Touman, who was as pale as usual, and secretly screamed in his heart, just as he wanted to interrupt Touman, he thought of the words of the military advisor he had captured from the Central Plains, he was responsible for leading this head, and the others didn't need to say anything.

"I hope you don't forget that our food, treasure, and women all come by looting, and when we encounter natural disasters, we are afraid of nothing more than going to the Central Plains to loot and make up for the losses." Touman said as he looked at the tribal leader below.

"Da Shan Yu is right, when will our Hun Erlang worry about the cold winter, and then go to the Central Plains to plunder." Touman's diehards echoed Touman's words.

The tribal leaders who were crying just now looked at these high-spirited people, and they didn't know what to do for a while, and on the way here, King Zuo Xian agreed with them that no matter what King Zuo Xian did, they would agree, and King Zuo Xian was responsible for helping them get enough cattle and sheep from the royal court. The tribal leaders, who didn't know what to do, looked at King Zuoxian.

"Da Shan Yu means that he is going south again, right?" King Zuo Xian put down the knife in his hand and said.

"That's right, this year we have been severely affected, and all the tribes are short of supplies for the winter, and after the autumn harvest in the Central Plains, they have stored enough food and money, enough for us to survive the cold winter." Touman said.

Hearing Touman's words, these tribal leaders also understood what Touman meant, and Touman wanted to go south to plunder before the real winter came. Raiding the south was the easiest and most common way for them to have money and food, and when they thought of the grain and money stored in the Central Plains after the autumn, these tribal leaders were tempted for a while.

"Then I don't know where Da Danyu is going to go south? Is it the Beidi County of the Qin State, or the Yanmen Pass of the Zhao State, or the detour from Donghu to the south from the Yan State? Da Shan then forgot about the army of the Qin State, or the Battle of Yanmen Pass, or did he think that the Donghu people, who lived in a more severe cold area, would make way for us and let us go south from the Yan State? King Zuo Xian said disdainfully.

Hearing King Zuo Xian talk about the battle of Yanmen Pass again, Tou Man's eyes showed anger, thinking of his prime minister's entrustment, Tou Man held the throne with both hands, and held back the anger in his heart, now he can't be angry, he needs a war to stabilize his position, and by the way, press Zuo Xian Wang's department.

Hearing King Zuo Xian talk about the Qin State and Yanmen Pass, these tribal leaders who had just had an idea instantly dissipated their thoughts, whether it was the Qin State or Yanmen Pass, this was not something they could provoke now. They have given up on the grasslands around Beidi County, they have been scared by the Qin army, the defenders of Beidi County see them, they are even more crazy than they see the women of the Central Plains, they will not be afraid of them at all, they are not willing to fight with the Qin army like a madman.

As for Yanmen Pass, thinking of the huge Jingguan under Yanmen Pass, and the tribes that were wiped out by Li Mu, they were even more reluctant to provoke Li Mu, who was known as the wolf hunter. If they go to Beidi County, they may still be able to live, and if they go to Yanmen Pass, they will definitely become a part of Jingguan, which is the consensus of the Xiongnu and Hu people who have been dominated by Li Mu over the years.

"This single is not going to attack Beidi County this time, nor is it going to go south from Yanmen Pass, but from the border of Qin and Zhao, Shangdang County is going south to attack." Touman said.

"Is it because you drank too much wine? Attacking from the Qin-Zhao border and attacking Shangdang County, Da Dan Yu can no longer tolerate us, and is worried that we will complain because we will not be able to survive this cold winter, so he wants to destroy us? Zuo Xianwang patted the table and said.

"Arut, what are you talking about!? Ben Dan Yu is acting above board, you are slandering Ben Dan Yu! Touman patted the table and stood up, glaring at Zuo Xianwang and said.

"Heh, what does Da Shan Yu think, only you know that going south from the Qin-Zhao border, Shangdang County is a place where Qin's heavy troops are gathered, wouldn't it be self-defeating to go south from here?" Zuo Xianwang said.

"Ben Danyu is too lazy to talk to a brainless person like you, Prime Minister, you can tell this stupid guy about it." Touman sat down and patted the table and said.

After Touman finished speaking, the curtain of the king's tent was lifted, and an old man walked in from outside, the old man was dressed differently from these tribal leaders, but the dress of the Central Plains, wearing a Confucian crown and a Confucian robe, and a thick cashmere cloak wrapped around his body.

Seeing the old man walk in, these tribal leaders looked over, their eyes were full of curiosity, since the battle of Touman Yanmen Pass was killed by Li Mu, and only a few dozen people fled back in embarrassment in the army of more than 100,000 people, the Xiongnu royal court had one more prime minister, or a Central Plains person, when Touman let a Central Plains person serve as the prime minister of the Xiongnu, the position was second only to Da Shan Yu, which made many tribal leaders dissatisfied, but because of the majesty of Touman and the strength of the Xiongnu royal court, he finally held back his dissatisfaction.

After that, the matter of this prime minister gradually spread in the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu royal court became better and better under the governance of this prime minister, and the strength became stronger, which made various tribes more curious about who this prime minister was. And the reason why King Zuo Xian is looking for a military advisor is also because of this prime minister.

"Big Order!" The old man saluted to Touman.

"Prime Minister Ram, please take a seat." Touman stepped down from his throne and personally supported the ram order and carried it to his seat.

For the ram order, Touman is extra respectful. The ram order was captured when he fled from Yanmen Pass, and the ram order was a knowledgeable person in the mixed area of the Xiongnu and the Central Plains, and was called the great sage by those who had the common blood of the Xiongnu and the Central Plains.

Originally, Touman just regarded the ram order as a prisoner, but after returning to the Xiongnu court, because of the defeat, Touman's generals had the intention of rebelling and wanted to become a big Dan Yu. But considering the majesty of Touman, these generals began to constantly erect and disperse Touman's people, at this time, the Ram Order put forward a suggestion, not only to help Touman maintain his position, stabilize the Xiongnu court that was almost divided because of the defeat, but also kill these generals to kill each other, so that Touman easily reintegrated the Xiongnu court, and then implemented a series of policies to strengthen Touman's control over the entire Xiongnu court, so that there was no one within the Xiongnu court who could resist Touman.

After all kinds of means, Touman saw the ability of the Ram Order, and respected this old man more and more, and handed over the governance power of the Xiongnu royal court to the Ram Order, and according to the system of the Central Plains, he became the prime minister of the Xiongnu.

After King Zuo Xian saw the ram order, he also calmed down and didn't say anything more, as a person who was always eyeing the position of the Huns, he naturally knew everything about the affairs of the Hun royal court, and he was behind the rebellion of the head man general, just when he thought that the head man would definitely die, the ram order made his plan fall in one fell swoop, and also strengthened the head man's grasp of the entire Hun royal court.

"King Zuo Xian has any objections to my plan to send troops to Shangdang County, right?" Ram Ling looked at King Zuo Xian and said with a smile.

Looking at Ram Ling's smile, King Zuo Xian and these tribal leaders felt a chill, obviously Ram Ling was talking to them with a smile, but they felt like they were being targeted by a poisonous snake.

"That's right, Shangdang County is a place where the Qin State hoards heavy troops, going south from here is nothing more than looking for death, the Qin army of Shangdang County can resist the Zhao army led by Li Mu, does Prime Minister Ram think that we can defeat the Qin army that is stronger than Li Mu?" King Zuo Xian suppressed the chill in his heart and said.

Ram Ling suddenly laughed, which made King Zuo Xian startled, and put his hand on the scimitar at his waist.
