Chapter 12: The Secret War Begins
As soon as he rode away on a flying horse, he immediately sat Jinsan's henchman slave.
As a high-ranking official of the Xiongnu, he naturally knew the gap between the Xiongnu and the Yun family. The Yun family said that it has a complete business system, and Dawang City has become the foundation of the Yun family. With such a place, the Yun family can become a force to be reckoned with after recuperation.
On the other hand, the Huns, who have lived in the grasslands for generations, are bitter and hard. The year is good, and it's okay. The year is not good, and the cattle and sheep fat are insufficient. If there is a white-haired wind in winter, it will be a disaster for the entire Xiongnu steppe.
At this time of year, there are groups of cattle, sheep and Huns starving to death. The Xiongnu population has never been able to develop, which has a great relationship with this. Therefore, the Huns wanted to loot, and they wanted to go to the Han land to loot wildly. They are really poor, and everything is good. From linen to iron pots. The Xiongnu steppe is lacking, and the people who rely on looting will not last long.
Jin San knew that the success of the last loot had something to do with the infighting of the Han Chinese. But the Han people will not always fight among themselves, nor will they always be pressed and beaten by the Huns. He has been to the Han realm and knows the vast prosperity and wealth of the Han realm. In front of the Huns, the Han was like an elephant growing up slowly. If one day the Han is strong enough to easily trample the Huns, the steppe wolf, to death.
To guard the Huns who are perishing after all, it is better to find a big tree to lean onto. The Yun family is this suitable tree, and it has already accepted Yun Xiao's edict in Dawang City. Now, this time, it's a vote. He didn't care how many Huns would die in battle, he just cared about how much the Yun family would accept him. How much benefit will it give itself, and benefits are the eternal topic of this world.
I believe that it won't be long before the Yun family will receive the news. I have to find a chance to stay in the grassland, otherwise it will be too dangerous to go out with the army. The Yun family's black-armored guards were too violent, so violent that they could tear apart any enemy in this world. Anything can happen in a chaotic army, especially if there is no shortage of accidents. Jin San didn't want to die in the chaos of the army. He just wants to live a happy and prosperous life.
"Da Dan Yu, Jin San has something to say......"
Jin San is trying to find a way to stay in the grassland, but Zhongxingyue is making every effort. The Yun family's power in Donghu is very large, and Yin Yin is a very skillful woman. Over the years, the silver and knives have won the allegiance of most of the Donghu nobles. There's no way, follow people to have meat to eat. No one can't live with wealth. This is a common problem for everyone.
Zhongxingyue actually played a trick, Donghu is not useless as he said. It's just that last year's Youbeiping was looted. The defense of the Han army was too tight, and the entire northern defense line could not even fly a fly. The elite northern army is ready to fight, and if it leads the Hun army forward, it will inevitably hit its head and break its blood.
I had no choice but to know that Zhongxingyue had to run out of the bone of Donghu and let the Huns gnaw it. The only Donghu people who can be used are the people who originally belonged to the former Empress Dowager Balgan, as well as the first prince Zalandin's lineage. They are in Donghu. Belong to the group of people who were hit.
Cotton and the profits brought by Donghu's special melons and fruits, as well as the crazy commercial tax have nothing to do with them. These people were already unable to mingle in Donghu, so they had no choice but to migrate to the border between Donghu and the Xiongnu. If it weren't for the protection of the Huns, I'm afraid it would have been destroyed by the sons of Lao Batu a long time ago.
"Lord Zhongxingyue, why are you here in person? Let Dexue Chan pay you the most reverent manner, and I will entertain you with the best lamb. "The leader of the tribes, Dexue Chan of the Hongji Tribe, greeted the arrival of the first favorite minister of Da Shan Yu with his hand on his chest.
He knew the status of the white-skinned Han man in front of him beside Da Dan Yu, precisely because of his words in front of Da Dan Yu. Only then can they graze on the pastures of the Huns. Even if they were driven away by the Donghu people, there were also Xiongnu soldiers who came to help.
For this bigwig-level figure. Dexue Chan is a mess of deference.
The Huns had no carriages, and there were no gallops on the steppe. Zhongxing Yue rode a horse to Dexue Chan, and Dexue Chan saw the salute. Then a servant ran to his knees and let Zhongxingyue step on his back and dismount.
"Leader Dexue Chan, why are you old like this. When I saw you last year, your hair wasn't so white. Zhongxingyue looked at the white-haired Dexue Chan and said. Time flies. It has been almost 20 years since he came to the Xiongnu. In the past 20 years, his hair has also turned a lot grayer. Seeing Dexue Chan, Zhongxingyue felt as if he had seen himself.
"Let the Lord of the Bank of China miss it, the tribe is rich in water and grass this year. The livestock were fat and strong, but we were constantly attacked by Batu's old dog. The son of old Batu the other day. Ba Zhen and Bayan came with 5,000 cavalry to plunder our livestock.
Thankfully, the Great Huns helped us repel these fierce creatures like the wolf of fortune, otherwise you might not have seen Dexue Chan. Dexue Chan didn't know which nerve it touched, and actually cried "woo".
Bank of China is happy, and five thousand cavalry can beat these guys to the ground. Had to rely on the help of the nearby Huns to survive, and it has to be said that these guys are too weak.
"Don't cry, don't cry. This time, I came to see you at the behest of Da Shan Yu. Lord Dexue Chan, the Great Hun Shan Yu has already decided. This winter, attack Donghu. After a month or two, the cattle and sheep are migrated to the winter nest. Beat enough hay, and the Hun cavalry will get you justice. ”
"Really? Thanks to the almighty Kunlun God, and thanks to the great steppe Huns who are the most respected Da Danyu. Dexue Chan fell to his knees. Sincerely pray to the heavens, the Donghu people did not believe in shamanism. However, I had to live on the Huns, after a long period of contact with the Huns. Dexue Chan also began to believe in shamanism, which was used to show deference to the Great Huns.
"The leader of Dexue Chan said seriously, the Great Hun is the most just and selfless person in the world. He saw that your homeland was occupied and your people were enslaved. I really don't want to go, so I sent the bravest Hun warriors to help you. ”
"Thank you for the most merciful Da Dan Yu, and please send the most respectful greetings to the great Da Dan Yu on behalf of De Xue Chan."
"I heard that some of your clansmen are in Zhangye City, and I don't know what official positions they hold in Zhangye. How many soldiers and horses and subordinates are under his command? ”
Zhongxingyue didn't have the time to grind with this old guy, so it was important to hurry up and get down to business. The Huns migrated quickly, and the winter nests were all good places. You can find it by following the deer stones left over thousands of years.
Although it will take some time to threh hay, it will definitely not take more than two months to do it yourself. Two months later, Yi Zhixian would lead the Xiongnu army and penetrate directly into Zhangye City from here. Zhangye is the core of the Hexi Corridor, as long as Zhangye is captured, Jiuquan and Wuwei can surrender without a fight. Since then, the trade routes between the Central Plains and the Western Regions have been cut off.
Stuck on this point, there will be a steady stream of gains. To the east, you can attack the Great Han, and to the west, you can attack the countries of the Western Regions. The Huns lost the Hetao, and the Yanzhi Mountains lost their color. But if you take back the Hexi Corridor, you can get stuck in the neck of the big man.
Zhong Xingyue's mind was racing, and Dexue Chan had already finished a lot of nonsense. “…… I have a nephew who is the son of my dead second brother. Now he is a chess and card lieutenant in Zhangye City, and I heard that he is in charge of a farm outside Zhangye City. You know, I defected to the Huns, and my family left in Zhangye was also implicated and not trusted. Therefore, they are all petty officials who do not enter the stream. ”
Zhong Xingyue was a little disappointed, but thought of what he had said in front of Yi Zhixian. also had to bite the bullet and say: "Let your eldest son take my servants to Zhangye." Suoerhan Chira, you take fifty people to Zhangye. Be sure to find a way to convince Zhangye's defenders to buy off a guard at the city gate. Open the city gate for my Great Huns and make a way forward. After the deed is completed, the old man will guarantee you a position as a thousand-commander. ”
Suerhan Chira hurriedly agreed, this is a shrewd and capable man. He knew that under the great reward there would be hardship. Zhongxingyue gave such a task to himself, although there was a rich reward. But the task is extremely difficult, wanting to buy a city gate guard in the rich Zhangye City. This is an even more difficult thing to do, and it is impossible for a person to carry these fifty people by himself. He will be strangled by the Donghu people and become the first batch of Huns to be killed.
Zhongxingyue was also very helpless, and the Huns did not have many ways to attack the city. Especially against a city like Zhangye City, which has a tight defense system and a strong city defense. It's even more helpless, the last time it was under Zhangye City. The Hun cavalry hit their heads and bled out.
"Thordhan Chira, your mission must be successful. If it fails, you know how many people we will die. You have followed me for many years, and I can only rest assured that such a heavy responsibility is entrusted to you. Bring more gold and silver treasures, Zhangye City is very rich and prosperous. If you want to get benefits, how can you do it without spending money. "Zhongxingyue is not a stingy person, he knows what is called input-output ratio. In order to succeed in this attack, I had to spend a lot of money.
"Your Excellency, please rest assured that the Zoerhan Chira will complete its mission. Live up to the expectations of big orders and adults. The soldiers were very fast, and Suoerhan Chira rushed to Zhangye overnight with Dexue Chan's eldest son and fifty capable Hun cavalry.
In a few years, Zhangye City became more prosperous and prosperous. The 36 countries of the Western Regions are not monolithic, and they often fight back and forth with each other. But Zhangye is an exception, and it seems to be a paradise. There is no strife, no war. Although there were some small cases of soliciting bribes, the profits of trafficking goods from the Western Regions to the Central Plains were huge. No one cares about that little bit of money.
Another caravan passed the tall gates, and the soldiers lazily checked the outsiders. A blue-eyed, bearded guy stuffed a bag of silver to the inspecting lieutenant, and the caravan was quickly released. (To be continued......)
