"As for this third task...... the military minister lowered his head, hesitated for a while, and finally said: "This single Yu hopes that the emperor of the Han Dynasty can give me the Great Huns to continue to export iron and bronze metals and weapons!" ”

"The conditions are negotiable!" The military minister said: "Whether the people of the Han Dynasty want gold, livestock, slaves or furs, this single Yu can agree!" ”

Gold, in any region of the planet, is a hard currency.

Whether it is a nomadic or an agricultural civilization, they are very precious to this rare metal of yellow, orange and orange.

The Xiongnu themselves also produced gold.

In the vast grassland of tens of thousands of miles, you can always find a lot of dog's head gold every year.

In addition, some gold can be obtained from some open-pit gold mines and rivers containing golden sand.

However, the main source of gold for the Xiongnu still relied on exploitation and plunder.

Not to mention, the kingdom of the Western Regions needs to pay tribute to the Xiongnu's Shan Yuting every year.

Gold is an important part of the tribute.

In addition, during the Han-Hun peace period in the past few decades, the Han Dynasty would also provide a large amount of gold as a bribe to satisfy the greed of the Xiongnu.

In the Xiongnu, there was no currency, mainly barter.

Gold is not well utilized.

Basically, they were used as ornaments, crowns, and funerary items for the nobility.

But there are exceptions.

For example, gold was a necessity when the Xiongnu wanted to buy smuggled metals and weapons from Han merchants.

Today, Shan Yuting has at least tens of thousands of gold reserves in the court.

For the military ministers, the role of these gold is actually not great, and it can be used to trade with the Han Dynasty.

Moreover, for the Huns, gold and jade. It doesn't matter at all.

Here is lost, it can be grabbed from other directions.

The Dawan country in the west has a lot of gold.

Even the people of that country used gold coins carved with human figures as currency.

If Dawan can be destroyed, just the captured gold, the military minister thinks. It can be used as a military purchase payment to the Han Dynasty.

Even......

In the future, the Hun cavalry could not rely on sophisticated equipment to defeat the Han Dynasty again.

As for the livestock, the slaves, and the furs, though, they are precious.

But again, it can be grabbed from the Western Regions and the West.

In the hearts of the military ministers, after stabilizing the Han Dynasty, westward expansion is still a road he must take!

The Han Dynasty in the south is already strong enough to annihilate tens of thousands of cavalry on the outskirts of the wilderness, and defeat Zhelan head-on!

This means: All places south of the Great Wall have become forbidden areas for the Hun cavalry.

And the Huns could no longer rob the population and wealth they needed from the southern invasion.

What's even more troublesome is that because of the destruction of the headquarters of the Right Xian King and the three tribes of Zhelan, Lou Fu, and Baiyang, Shan Yuting's power has been greatly weakened!

Even King Hujie dared to ask for status on the premise of five people and six people.

The other nobles in the court alone will definitely not settle down.

King Hujie can be the right king and occupy the south pool.

The nobles of the other clans and the four major clans will definitely want benefits.

Other large tribes. Nor will it settle down.

The military minister knew very well that he wanted to continue to maintain Shan Yuting's supremacy and dominance.

He had to give the various factions within the Xiongnu a tangible advantage.

In the past, Mao Dun big single Yu and the old big single Yu. The reason why it can dominate these tens of thousands of miles of grasslands and the countries of the Western Regions.

Relying on continuous victories and continuous plundering of others, the population, livestock, and pastures were distributed to dogs and servants, so that the Xiongnu, from a small tribe in the south, became the overlord who dominates the grassland today.

At the same time, through constant victories and external looting. Consolidate your position and power.

On the grassland, it doesn't matter what kind of person you are.

The important thing is whether you can take everyone to loot and make a fortune together.

Today's military ministers have a deep understanding of this truth.

So, now, wage a war of conquest against the West. Plundering the population and wealth had in fact become the only way out for the Xiongnu Empire.

But westward expansion is not such a simple thing.

The Dawan country that stood in front of the military ministers, the military ministers had already touched its bottom almost carefully.

The size of Dawan is definitely a big country.

It has a population of hundreds of thousands and the same number of slaves.

There are also countless castle cities as defenses.

The country's standing army also has 20,000 or 30,000 people.

This is already a hegemon-level power in the Western Regions!

Although, back then, the remnants of the Yue's people were defeated, and they broke through Dawan's defense line and went far west.

However, transit and national destruction are two different concepts.

If you want to conquer such a big country, you can't win quickly without using seventy or eighty thousand cavalry.

Moreover, the city of the Dawan people is also very strong.

If you want to take it, the Huns will have to pay losses.

Moreover, the Han Dynasty in the south would not give the Xiongnu much time to move westward.

Therefore, in this matter, the military ministers felt that they still had to rely on importing those siege weapons and equipment from the Han Dynasty.

It's just that the military ministers don't know, will the Han Dynasty agree?

Although, reason told him, the odds were slim.

As long as the people of the Han Dynasty were not stupid, they would definitely not provide weapons and metals to the Xiongnu.

But, if you don't try this kind of thing, the military ministers are really unwilling!

Moreover......

The military minister felt that since it was difficult to negotiate once, it should be possible to negotiate twice!

It's nothing more than a little more blood and a little more cost!

But it was ugly, but it was ecstatic.

He immediately patted his chest and said, "Da Danyu, the slave must live up to his mission!" ”

Something else, and it's hard to promise.

But this arms sale?

And it is difficult to carve, but you can pack a ticket!

Because, this matter was originally mentioned by the Han Dynasty first!

The emperor of the Han Dynasty himself had this meaning, and he took the initiative to bring it up.

Although it is difficult to carve, I don't understand why.

However, since it is the intention of the Han Dynasty, as long as the Xiongnu side bleeds more, things will definitely be done!

But......

And Qu and Diao raised his head, looked at the military minister, and said, "The plow is lonely." The slave has a thing, and he wants to report it to the plow! ”

"Say!" The military ministers looked at it and carved it difficult, but the more they looked at it, the more they liked it.

This minion is very loyal!

For such a difficult task, he is willing to rise to the challenge, instead of prevaricating like others!

What's even more rare is that his determination and attitude are very good!

That's what makes a good minion!

"I don't know what ......to do with the plough and I don't know it," and after sorting out the manuscript in his heart, he said: "The last time the slave was ordered to send an envoy to the Han Dynasty, he talked to the emperor of the Han Dynasty about Han-Hungarian relations. The emperor of the Han Dynasty told the minions: If the Xiongnu do not break the contract, the Han Dynasty will not break the contract! The minions don't know who is sowing discord in front of the plough and Gutu, but in the eyes of the minions, if there is no matter of Ma Yi, now, the weapons and metals of the Han Dynasty may have been transported! ”

It's good that he didn't say that, as soon as he heard these words, the anger in the heart of the military minister was aroused.

If King Xianbei stands in front of the military ministers now. The military ministers could tear him alive.

and some of the nobles who had instigated and advocated war in the first place, and their image in his heart had become infinitely worse.

The military ministers even felt: It's all the fault of these traitors!

Even Lan Tuoxin's impression in his heart had become very bad.

The military ministers will not forget that it was Lan Tuoxin who advocated the war in the first place.

The result?

The king of Zhelan was directly thrown in the Han Dynasty!

Yin Zhixian is annoying with Lou, and Aries doesn't know whether he is alive or dead!

If it weren't for this guy's instigation, the military minister would have thought that he wouldn't have these problems now!

And the canal and carving are difficult, but he continued to strike while the iron was hot, and said: "The plough is lonely, when the slave was in the Han Dynasty." Seeing the cavalry of the Han Dynasty, they were indeed very elite. There are indeed a lot, and the minions are worried and frightened, so they go to question the emperor of the Han Dynasty and say: Your Majesty is recuperating, but you want to be the enemy of my Great Huns? ”

The military officer heard this. Immediately interjected and asked, "What did the emperor of the Han Dynasty say?" ”

"The emperor of the Han Dynasty said: The envoy is too worried, and I prepare this army for defense!" He looked at the military minister, sneered in his heart, and lied.

Anyway. These things, no one can debunk him.

"Defense? Hundreds of thousands of cavalry are needed for defense? The military minister sneered and shook his head.

Now, countless evidences and facts tell the military ministers and all the Xiongnu nobles that the Han Dynasty in the south has been preparing for war.

It was on this basis that Lan Tuoxin and others advocated that they must go south, pour out of the nest, and destroy the pastures and cavalry bases of the Han Dynasty, so that it is impossible to threaten the Xiongnu, even if they can't, the battlefield in someone else's house is better than in their own home!

To be reasonable, if the military ministers are not riding a tiger now, it is impossible to adjust their strategy.

He was probably persuaded by Randosin.

Of course, it is difficult to know that these days, the remarks of those main battle factions.

If you are reasonable, it is difficult to feel that their statement is not wrong.

The Han Dynasty was indeed the unprecedented enemy of the Xiongnu Empire.

It may even destroy the Hun Empire!

But, what does that have to do with him!

He was just a low-level nobleman, a dog raised in the court, and finally had a chance to turn over.

Do you want him to continue to be a dog for Shan Yu and the nobles?

He's not that stupid!

It is clear that his glory, wealth and status depend on the role he plays in Han-Hungarian relations.

To be precise, it is based on the peace treaty he negotiated and the great victory of the Han army in the Battle of Mayi.

He and his small team didn't bother to care about what the Han Dynasty people really wanted to do and what they wanted to do!

Now, the priority for him and his team is to consolidate their position and achieve a higher status.

In addition, what happened to the Xiongnu and what happened to the Han Dynasty has nothing to do with them!

Even, and the difficulty of carving has been figured out.

In the future, even if the Xiongnu were destroyed, the Han Dynasty ruled the world.

For him, there was no loss either.

He can even become a minister and nobleman of the Han Dynasty in the future by virtue of helping the Han Dynasty fool and deceive Shan Yu.

Now, in order to maintain his status and wealth, it is difficult to tell a lie, that is, to tell nonsense with his eyes open, even if the truth is in front of him, he will pretend not to see it!

So, he bowed down and said: "Support the plough lonely Tu Mingjian, the slave also asked the same rhetorically, but the emperor of the Han Dynasty said: Han, since ancient times, farming, the people plough and get food and clothing, and the Xiongnu have no farming, live by grazing, the Han people will not graze, it is impossible to occupy the grassland, and will not occupy the grassland, and the Han Dynasty has a long defense line, although it seems that there are 150,000 horsemen, but in fact, on the Great Wall defense line, there is not a cavalry in an average mile, specific to the whole country, but also a township only two or three horsemen, the Han Dynasty maintains such a cavalry scale, only for defense, Protect your homeland and don't want to attack ......"

This statement was actually made after discussing with a few Han people in his small team.

It is indeed reasonable, and many issues and details are also considered.

At least, at first glance, it scares most people.

As for what the future holds?

To be honest, I don't know if it's hard to carve.

When the military minister heard this, he was also frightened by him.

If you think about it, that's really the case!

The people of the Han Dynasty have been farming since ancient times, even when the Qin army occupied the Hetao, they also cultivated farmland and planted crops in the Hetao.

They came to the steppe, and there was not much land to cultivate in the steppe!

If they take it, it means that they have no use for it, but they have to carry a heavy burden.

Seeing this situation, he immediately struck while the iron was hot and said: "The plough is lonely, and the slaves thought at first that the Han Dynasty people were deceiving people, but when the slaves were ordered to propose to the Han Dynasty emperor: After exchanging the river loop for weapons, the Han Dynasty emperor refused without thinking about it, and told the minions: The Han Dynasty has no interest in the grassland, they only want the land that can be cultivated, crops and cities can be built!" ”

This kind of blind talk, and difficult to say, is really effortless.

Even he himself was amazed.

Because before this year, he didn't dare to lie to any of the Hun nobles, let alone deceive Shan Yu.

It can only be said that once a person's discipline begins to fall, he himself will be afraid!

But the military minister was fooled.

He remembered that indeed, at the beginning, he had just made it difficult for him to go to the Han Dynasty to test it.

In the face of the temptation and confusion of the Hetao, his son-in-law can categorically refuse, it seems that he should really have no interest in the grassland!

Thinking of this, the military minister felt that his lungs were about to explode!

The Han Dynasty had no interest in the steppes and only wanted to defend.

But I was stupid and listened to the instigation of others, and went south to provoke!

Now, the Great Huns have suffered heavy losses, and their position has begun to waver!

"Landosin!" The military minister completely forgot how he felt when he summoned Lan Tuoxin a few days ago, and at this moment, he really wanted to kill this nobleman who instigated him to jump into the pit!

Reluctantly, holding back the anger in his heart, the military minister said to him: "Why didn't you tell Ben Danyu earlier!" If this were the case, many things might not have happened! ”

"Returning to the plough is lonely, and the slave also wants to report it, but the slave is soft-spoken, and no one wants to pass it on! And when the minions came back, the battle of Ma Yi had already begun...... and Qu and Diao couldn't lower his head, looking distressed: "Besides, at that time, the minions felt that it was good for the Right Xian King to go south to loot, teach a lesson, and beat the Han Dynasty!" ”

When the military minister heard the words, he really felt like he had found a soulmate.

That's what he thought at the time!

Suddenly, the military minister felt that this slave was the wisdom given to him by the gods and ancestors!

So he said: "You go early and return early, and when you come back, this single will definitely canonize you as the king, go to rule a tribe, and communicate with the Han Dynasty!" ”

He knelt down and said: "It is the honor of a slave to serve the plough alone, how dare you ask for any reward?" ”

This made the military ministers even more fond of him. (To be continued.) )
