Chapter 32 The Huns are coming

Yunjia Zhuangzi.

Compared with the tedious preparations for the car, the Queen Mother's lunch meal is the simplest.

The Queen Mother's diet has always been simple and does not like luxury, and the elderly prefer to write light tastes.

The chef of the Yun family was extremely dissatisfied with the standard of four dishes and one soup set by Hou Ye, thinking that it was just four dishes that he had already used his skills. I created a zào character to drum out such a thing as a saucer, and four dishes of extremely delicate pickles. The queen mother who ate smiled, and the cook immediately smiled when he heard the wind in the front yard, and the queen mother's praise was a milestone, and his career reached a new height.

Yun Xiao is far from the consciousness of a cook, and there are many evil customers. That Gillian rushed into the greenhouse like a wild boar, rampage, and stuffed anything into her mouth, and the cucumber was so big that she couldn't eat it when she grew up. Just wanted to get it to the side of the pepper, and the Liu Xiaozhu who was eating inside and outside got out.

"Sister Gillian, that is poison and can't be eaten."

In one sentence, Yunxiao's wishful thinking was wiped out. It is difficult to prevent thieves day and night, and Yun Xiao decided to prohibit Liu Xiaozhu from entering the greenhouse in the future.

Now it's even worse, people have to stand on the side to watch when they eat their own daughters, and the two wives have to serve the old and immortal queen mother, constantly serving soup and vegetables. I still have to laugh on my face, and this face is stiff with laughter. Yun Xiao thinks that he should learn from the etiquette lady of the later generations, and he has nothing to do with chopsticks. A smile shows eight teeth.

"Grandma, this meatball soup is the best. Lintong Hou said that only this one can grow tall. Grandma eats more and can grow taller. ”

Liu Xiaozhu introduced in a whisper beside him.

"Hahaha. Grandma didn't dare to grow any longer. Grandma will become an old goblin if she grows up, or we little boys don't eat some long and strong ones. ”

The queen mother was very relieved, and she kept praising her grandson while eating balls in her mouth.

Liu Duan and Liu Sheng could only pretend to be quails on one side, and the two of them were thirteen and fourteen. If it had been according to the previous standards, he would have gone to a vassal country a long time ago. It's just that now Liu Qi is seriously ill, and no one is talking about it, so it is delayed.

Now the two boys are studying harder, and they like the environment of Tsinghua University very much. I also like the coursework at Tsinghua University, where they can learn knowledge that they have never heard of before. This aroused their intense curiosity, coupled with the fact that they had a clever and perverted younger brother. I always get the first place in the school exams.

This made the two princes under great pressure. Whoever is an elder brother doesn't want to go to a fief with a name that is not as good as his younger brother. Of course, if Wei Ya of the Yun family can follow him to the fiefdom. The brothers were willing to give up their studies immediately and go far away to the fiefdom.

Now the two brothers watched Liu Xiaozhu behaving cutely in front of their grandmother, and they had to watch. There is no way that people have an age advantage. This is a hard indicator. If you two and a half are so cute. will be spanked by the Queen Mother.

"Grandma. You eat this pig ear. Chewing in the mouth, it's delicious. ”

Gillian pouted her oily little mouth on the side, and recommended the plate of pig ears to the Queen Mother as if offering treasures.

"Look at how many teeth your grandmother has. Can you eat that? Silly boy, eat it yourself. ”

Princess Guantao doted on Gillian with a cloth towel and wiped her mouth.

"Yun family, these side dishes are very appetizing. After a while, bring some to your majesty xià to taste, you go and prepare, this pig's ears are crispy, bring more. Your Yun family also really has the ability, and you can make flowers out of things that others don't eat. ”

"Mother, I want the eggs in the black water too."

Gillian staggered and began to order, this little guy has a soft spot for tea eggs. I've already eaten three, and I'm not afraid to hold on.

"It's good if the queen mother and the princess like it."

Yan Xian, the housewife, laughed with her.

It's too much, not only to eat but also to take. Hey, there's no way, just think it's a devil to enter the village.

The Queen Mother and Princess Guantao ate this meal to their heart's content, and robbed the Yun family of a lot of vegetables, so they let the Yun family go. With a large number of minions, the smoke and dust billowed towards Lishan.

Wei Juan trembled and sent the Queen Mother to Lishan before turning back. When he returned to the Yun family's lamp, he shouted loudly as soon as he entered the door.

"Brother, the Huns are coming."

"I'm back, I'm back, the Queen Mother is gone, and she won't let her family come back. You still plan to let the family spend the night in the mountains, although this is spring. The night in the mountains is also cold, it's all your own family, you don't have to be so ruthless. ”

Yun Xiao lay on the rattan recliner and poured his breath, this day can be regarded as exhausting him. The muscles on his face stiffened with laughter, and it took a lot of hot towels to ease up.

"Oops, it's not the Huns on your Zhuangzi. It was the Huns of the steppe. ”

Wei Juan pulled up the hot towel covering Yun Xiao's face and said nervously.

"The Huns in the steppe? Did the Huns call? It's impossible, they are generally busy grazing in this season, how can they attack the big Han? What's going on, you say. ”

Yun Xiao sat up suddenly, if the Huns attacked, it would not be good news. If you don't get the Yun family Zhuangzi right, it will be affected.

"It's not the Huns who called, it's the Huns who sent envoys to our Han. I have arrived in Mayi, and the imperial court has sent someone to pick it up. In a few days, we will arrive in Chang'an. ”

Wei Juan saw that he had successfully summoned Yun Xiao, but he was not in a hurry, and took a sip of the tea brought by the maid and said slowly.

"King Zuo Xian has just raided Yunzhong and Daijun, what are the envoys of the Xiongnu here to do at this time. Is it possible that what is not caught on the battlefield must be fished over in negotiations? ”

Yun Xiao was a little suspicious, he knew too well what negotiation was. The so-called negotiation means that the two sides eat together, brag, and fool each other, and there are not many real things.

The final factor that determines the political trend is interests, and the balance of interests! These are absolutely not changed by the flickering of a few envoys, and generally speaking, there are only two forms of war. Offense and defense, both sides attack that will form a big battle. When both sides are on the defensive, it's called a standoff.

Between the Han and the Xiongnu, it should be said that it should still be regarded as a confrontation. One side is in a hurry to go home to farm, and the other side is in a hurry to go home to herd sheep. Both sides are very busy, there are wives and children at home, and it is very important to fight, but if you delay farming and herding sheep, what will your wife and children eat for a year?

It was under these circumstances that peace on the border was born, and the soldiers of both sides cherished each other. After harvesting the wheat and fattening the sheep, this is the contradiction between the Hun robbers and the Han security.

In fact, the Huns are not born to rob, but the level of productivity is too low. In many places, you can't even make a pot, and from time to time you rob the big men and don't dare to do business with you. There is only robbery, but robbery also has a cost, although the Huns are good at fighting, but it is not that they can't be killed. For the sake of a pot, it is really a bit impossible to risk your life.

And there is also a problem of robbery with a variety. Generally speaking, when robbing, you grab what you want, from grain cloth to iron pot linen. On the issue of breed, the Huns have always been not picky. But the problem is, you need a few pieces of linen at home. But you just grabbed two bags of wheat, and your family needs an iron pot, but you just grabbed a horse of silk.

Yun Xiao believes that the only solution to this problem is border trade, and it is precisely this border trade that cannot be opened. The reason is simple, if the border trade is opened. The Xiongnu will become stronger and stronger, and a strong Xiongnu is not in the interests of the Han Dynasty.

The best way is to form a cavalry force capable of fighting, able to go deep into the desert Gobi to fight a war of attrition against the Huns. After three years and five years, the 100,000 Huns were almost exhausted.

Seeing that Yun Xiao was wandering out of the world again, Wei Juan didn't speak. Just sipping tea and looking out the window at the dark night. He knew that as long as Yun Xiao figured it out, there would definitely be an astonishing argument.

"Could it be that the Huns are here to talk about the issue of mutual markets?"

Yun Xiao said after thinking for a long time.

"Mutual market? If there is a shortage of soldiers, what a mutual market law. As soon as you got your things to the border, the Huns came. Running fast on a horse, you can only stare dryly when you grab a handful and run. ”

Wei Juan was very disdainful of Yun Xiao's statement, who went crazy to exchange markets with the Huns in these years.

"That's not the case, mutual markets are good for both sides. If I guessed correctly, the Hun envoys must have come for the purpose of mutual market. ”
