Section 652 Inducement (2)
Looking at the young emperor of the Han Dynasty, Yi Zhi's heart was like a million grass and mud horses galloping by.
He finally knew how the new emperor of the Han Dynasty held power!
If such a shameless and shameless person can't succeed, who can?
Taking a deep breath, Yi Zhi said directly: "The foreign minister wants to implore the emperor to help the foreign minister 'control' some people in the mission......"
Yi Zhixian has survived until now, naturally not just by luck.
He knew very well that the emperor of the Han Dynasty in front of him saw that he had to cut his flesh to save his life, so he would do so.
Therefore, he must come up with enough bargaining chips to buy his life.
So what chips does he have in his hand now that can impress the other party?
Yi Zhixian thought about it carefully, and then, he realized that he didn't have any chips in his hand that could impress the other party to help him.
But, it doesn't matter!
There is a saying: The cub sells Ye Tian's heart is not painful!
The Xiongnu Empire had a lot of things that the Han Dynasty needed!
Therefore, Yi Zhi directly threw out a big pie: "If Your Majesty can help the foreign ministers to help the foreign ministers through this difficulty, the next day, if the foreign ministers are fortunate enough to be favored by the plough and be enthroned as the Xiongnu Shan Yu, the foreign ministers will restrain the Xiongnu tribes, stay away from the Great Wall, and prevent the Xiongnu from crossing the border wall!" ”
"In addition......" Yi Zhi took a step forward and spit out a condition that made everyone in the palace look sideways: "The foreign minister will also return the land of Hetao to Your Majesty, so that Han and Hungary will enjoy peace forever!" ”
This condition is really exciting.
Sima Tan, who was sitting behind the screen of Liu Che's throne, was even fighting, and the ink splashed a piece of paper full of paper.
And Prime Minister Zhou Yafu, who was secretly hiding on the side to observe, almost couldn't help but want to run out, hold Yi Zhi's oblique hand, and shout: 'Deal!' ’。
Since the fall of the Qin Dynasty and the rise of the Han Dynasty, China has been in the past sixty years. I was really fed up with the pain of the Hetao being controlled by the Huns.
Although in the Battle of Henan nearly twenty years ago, the Han army recaptured part of it. But most of it was still in the hands of the Xiongnu.
The Xiongnu were condescending in the Hetao and threatened the safety of the entire northern part of the Han dynasty at all times.
The Loop at this time. It is the testicles of China, but they are in the hands of their enemies.
If the Hetao can be recovered, the defense of the Han dynasty will immediately have to be stabilized by several levels, at least, Guanzhong will no longer be threatened by the Xiongnu.
It's just that if you want to recover the Hetao, it's not easy to say!
Immediately after the Henan campaign, the Huns hoarded heavy troops in the Hetao area.
Almost the essence and elite of the Xiongnu in the south of the country were hoarded in the Hetao and its nearby Qilian Mountain, Rouge Mountain, and Gaonan Mountain.
At this moment, Yi Zhixian actually threw the Hetao as a reward. If three or four years ago, the Huns proposed to return the Hetao, I am afraid that the whole Han family would be smiling from ear to ear, and no matter what kind of harsh conditions and requirements, they would all be satisfied.
As for now, Zhou Yafu's performance is not much better.
Hetao, that's Hetao!
This is like two thousand years later, the Secretary of State of the Mi Empire visited China and privately said to the boss of the Celestial Empire: Ah. We want to sell it, the local tyrant will make a price, the price is right, and we won't care about it when we turn around.
Guess what price the Celestial Empire will offer?
Zhou Yafu only felt that his blood was burning now.
As for Sima Tan. I was even more excited to forget the record.
But......
Liu Che remained indifferent.
Empty promises are worse than waste paper!
If you believe that if you believe it, then you are absolutely not suitable for playing politics.
Not to mention. The conditions put forward by Yi Zhixian are actually the same as if they were not proposed.
People have a prerequisite - when I become Shan Yu.
Back then, Lao Maozi was still in front of the whole world. Promise to China to give up all interests in China and return all the Chinese territories stolen by Tsarist Russia!
The result?
Liu Che can guess with his ass. If you believe in Yi Zhixian's words, you will have to jump into a big pit.
Since Yi Zhixian said that he would not be able to return the Hetao until he became Shan Yu, would the Han family have to sell blood and kidneys to help Yi Zhixian fight for power, expand his strength, and provide logistical resources?
Under such circumstances, Liu Che bet that the Han family would be filled with tears by Yizhi's slanted pit!
Even if they take 10,000 steps back, they really fulfill their promise and return the Hetao in the future, can the Han army hold it?
The final outcome of the Song-Jin alliance in the late Northern Song Dynasty has already explained too many problems.
Liu Che never expected to retract the loop by means of threats and blackmail and coercion.
From beginning to end, he had only one plan - to use his fists and swords to recapture the lost Hetao from the Huns.
"The words of the King of Yougu Li are heavy......" Liu Che stood up and said calmly to Yi Zhi: "Emperor Taizong Xiaowen of Emperor Taizong swore an oath with the old man of your country, within the Great Wall, the room of the crown belt, the rule of the Son of Heaven in China, beyond the Great Wall, the people of the bow, Shan Yu ruled, I have no intention or willingness to interfere in your internal affairs, I and my country, in the past, now, and in the future, will not interfere in your internal affairs in any form, if the King of Yougu Li is single in the future, send an envoy to visit, I will treat you with courtesy!" As for now, the right valley Liwang is a single envoy, or think about it, how to complete the single mission, live up to the trust! ”
Yi Zhi was shocked when he heard this, he thought that the conditions he threw out, even if the Han monarchs and ministers did not take the bait, at least they would be moved, right? At least he will be classified as pro-Han and taken care of, right?
Unexpectedly, the emperor of the Han Dynasty did not take the bait at all.
It was as if he was completely unconcerned about the reconquest of the Loop.
But Yi Zhixian understood that from the tone and tone of the other party, he could hear that after he threw out the conditions for returning the Hetao, the other party's eyelids moved obviously, his lips trembled, and his breathing seemed to be heavier.
This shows that people really want the loop.
But he has made up his mind to rely on force to reclaim the loop.
In other words, in the mind of this Han Dynasty emperor, the Hetao was already in his pocket. He does not need any form of charity and gifts.
He just wanted to rely on his own hands and sword to get the loop back.
"It's horrible!" Yi Zhi took a deep breath.
Now. He no longer had the slightest contempt and contempt for the young Han Dynasty emperor in front of him.
A militaristic emperor is not terrible at all.
However, one when faced with the temptation to get something for nothing. The emperor who can still stick to his heart is too terrible.
Yi Zhixian had seen wolves on the grassland.
He found that wolves were rarely able to resist the temptation of dead and injured animals, and for this reason, all of them fell into the traps of herders.
Herders would set up ambushes near dead bodies and even poison them directly to encircle wolves that poached livestock.
This tactic, tried and tested in the grasslands, became one of the most used strategies by tribes to eliminate and clear the wolves that roamed their territories.
And this young emperor of the Han Dynasty. At this moment, in Yi Zhi's slanted eyes, he was like a majestic tiger.
He eats only the prey he catches with his own hands, and reveres all carrion from the dead.
What's more, this Han Dynasty emperor is too young!
It can even be said that being young is a bit excessive!
Yi Zhi slanted back to himself, at this age, it seems that he only drinks and eats meat and plays with women all day long, and he sways his ignorance and naivety to the fullest.
And behind the screen. Zhou Yafu and Sima were even more shocked.
Your Majesty actually rejected the proposal of the King of the Huns Right Valley without hesitation, or even without consulting with us?
It's simply ......
But when you think about it, it seems that His Majesty's decision is very wise.
Because. According to the order and deployment, the military of the Han Dynasty and the Shaofu, Danong, and Zhonglang generals Yamen were already planning to deduce all the matters of the battle to recover the Hetao in three years.
In other words. If nothing else, three years later. The Han army will rely on its own strength to take back the Hetao.
Case. Then Yi Zhixian's promise is actually equivalent to a fart.
It doesn't matter if he says it sincerely or correctly.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yafu frowned on his sleeves, looked at each other and smiled with Sima Tan.
Sima Tan silently removed the white paper that had been stained with ink, put it aside, and continued to record the text on the new paper.
In the palace, Liu Che continued: "As for what the King of Yougu Li requested, considering the friendship between Han and Hungary, I am willing to help......"
Yi Zhixiao's mood is really like riding a roller coaster.
A second ago, he thought he was finished.
After all, even such a tempting bait as Hetao, the emperor of the Han Dynasty chose to ignore it, and it was impossible for him to put forward a more tempting condition - even if there were, he couldn't mention it, because in that case, he would be treating others as idiots.
Any person with a normal IQ would doubt the credibility of such promises.
But just a second later, the emperor of the Han Dynasty suddenly offered to help.
Of course, Yi Zhixian knows that this busyness is not without a price!
Moreover, the price must be very high!
Especially after the other party rejected his use of the Hetao as a trading chip, he could guess with his ass that the other party's request was very likely to touch a deeper price.
However, this price, Yi Zhixian had to pay.
Because, he has no way out.
In today's situation, he can only go hard.
It's like a gambler who loses red-eyed, and if he wants to get back his capital after betting on the house, he can only bet on his wife and daughter.
So, Yi Zhixian barely squeezed out some smiles, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty is noble, and the ministers are grateful!" ”
"Don't be grateful, I'm not without requests......" Liu Che said with a smile, at this moment, he was grateful to himself like a smiling butcher, looking at a piece of meat on the cutting board.
It seems that you can cut it as you want.
It's so sour, it's so comfortable!
"Your Majesty, please say, but whatever the foreign minister can do, he will definitely do it!" Yi Zhi said with a sad face.
There is no way, people are swordsmen, and I am fish and meat.
"Fortunately, I can still repay the debt...... Yi Zhi thought to himself, "If the conditions are too much, when I return to China, there should be no such thing......"
Liu Che smiled slightly and said: "I have always believed that the exchanges between the two countries should be based on mutual benefit and reciprocity, and if only one party benefits, the bilateral relationship will be unstable and reliable, so King Yougu Liwang should not worry too much......
"My request is simple......" Liu Che held out a finger. Said: "First: I hope that from next year, the king of Yougu Liwang will be able to trade on the border. No less than five hundred fine stallions are provided annually, but. There is a problem, please pay attention to the king of the right valley: the white horse in the west, don't use it to deceive people, I will only ask for the black horse and the black horse, of course, in terms of price, I will not make the king of the right valley suffer, all the stallions, I will pay ten times the price of ordinary horses! I can also assure the King of the Right Valley that I will be in the mutual market. Provide all the materials including Shu brocade, bronze utensils, iron pots and even armaments to the Right Valley Liwang, and the Right Valley Liwang can choose the required reward at will! ”
Yi Zhi obliquely heard this, and his pupils began to dilate.
This condition was really unexpected by him.
Five hundred stallions a year?
This is indeed taboo.
Just as the Han dynasty banned the export of all iron and high-tech bronze instruments to the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu also strictly controlled any horses that flowed to the Han dynasty.
In particular, the stallions, the Huns, forbade all stallions that had not been castrated to flow within the Great Wall, the bazaars on the border between the two countries, down for a year. There are also few intact stallions in sight.
Even if there are stallions, they are white horses from the West.
This kind of horse, in the country of the Xiongnu, was known for its inferior quality.
In addition to its good looks. It hardly has any advantages as a war horse.
Moreover, it is extremely intolerant and difficult to survive in the harsh winter of the north.
However. As the king of the right valley, Yi Zhixian only needs to return to China. You will be able to gain the allegiance of most of the Makunan clans.
With this condition, hundreds of stallions are secretly reported to die or missing every year. Then get it to the border to trade in the mutual market, it's not a problem at all!
What's more, the emperor of the Han Dynasty put forward a condition that Yi Zhixian couldn't refuse!
The Huns lacked nothing but livestock!
They lack cloth, salt, medicine, and even more metal.
Especially ironware!
In the past year, the price of the iron pot, a specialty of the Han Dynasty that appeared in the border market, has been rising, and in the tribes of the north of the Maku, an iron pot can even be exchanged for three adult male slaves plus ten sheep!
Not to mention, the emperor of the Han Dynasty also agreed for the first time to add weapons to the trade.
Not to mention China's iron weapons, that is, bronze weapons and old-fashioned armor, in the Xiongnu country, they can also be used as heirlooms of small nobles.
The profits, as long as you are not an idiot, know how huge it is!
Yi Zhi thought about it for a while, and had to say convincingly: "Your Majesty is generous, and the ministers are grateful!" ”
Liu Che shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
Although, the export of weapons, it is possible that in the future the combat effectiveness of the Huns will be enhanced.
But it doesn't matter, because what can be provided to Yi Zhixian to choose from must be those old-fashioned equipment that are destined to be eliminated and abandoned, and old antiques that have completely failed to keep up with the development of the times.
For example, those bronze weapons that were produced in the pre-Qin period, such as spears and so on.
These weapons, at present in China, have basically been reduced to the equipment of the militia reserves.
and the equipment of the Han army in active service, at least opened a gap of an era.
Besides, how much could the Huns buy back?
Liu Che even hoped that they would buy more!
Because, the more the Huns bought, the more horses and other livestock the Han family received.
It is equivalent to the Han family opening a stable base for providing high-quality war horses in the Xiongnu, which is simply not too cool!
And most importantly: can those who sell jeans compete with those who sell airplanes?
Of course, Liu Che's ambition does not lie in this.
No matter how much you trade with the Xiongnu, it is better to provoke a civil war with the Xiongnu, which will help Liu Che more.
Wanted to make the Huns infighting.
Liu Che had to let Yi Zhixian and the military ministers have no room for compromise and dealing.
Therefore, Liu Che stretched out his second finger and said to Yi Zhi: "As for the second...... I have heard that there is a remnant of Wusun, and now its whereabouts are unknown, I hope that the king of Yougu Li can help and send this remnant to the Great Wall......"
This is Liu Che's real purpose!
As long as Yi Zhi obliquely did it, even if it was only symbolic.
Then the contradiction between him and the military ministers will inevitably be irreconcilable.
At that time, whether Liu Che took advantage of the opportunity of the envoy to send this matter or simply deliberately let the military ministers know about it, just like last year's revelation of the Yueshi people, he could immediately detonate the Hun civil war.
Of course, Izumi knows this.
He also believed that judging by the personality of the Han Dynasty emperor that he knew so far, he would definitely do such a thing.
It's just that Yi Zhixian can only agree now.
Even, he had to do this wholeheartedly in the future to buy time for himself as much as possible.
By now, Yi Zhixian was very clear.
He's got to a starting line.
As soon as the emperor of the Han Dynasty gave the order, he had to run with all his might.
He had to defeat his military ministers and take the throne before the Han Dynasty's military preparations were completed, and then he had the hope of turning back and meeting the aggressive challenge of the Han Dynasty.
In this death match, he must make sure that he is running anytime, anywhere, all the time.
Otherwise, the only thing that awaits him is death.
The Clans will also fall from their thrones, then trampled into the mud and thrown into Hell!
Just like the Donghu and Yueshi before it.
Inexplicably, Yi Zhixian actually gave birth to a strong fighting spirit and an incomparably heavy sense of responsibility in his heart.
"This king must fight for the Great Huns, for the future of the Sulu clan!" Yi Zhi said to himself in his heart: "Mao Dun Da Dan Yu, Lao Shang Da Dan Yu decades of hard work, should not be destroyed in the hands of military ministers, this king will inherit the glory of Mao Dun and Lao Shang two generations of Da Dan Yu, under the protection of the plough sky, fight against the threat of the Han Dynasty!" ”
It's just that there is still a question in his heart: When did the strategic offensive and defensive between Han and Hungary have changed?
You must know that five years ago, the Hun cavalry also broke through the defense line of the Great Wall, drove straight in, and the soldiers reached Xiaoguan, and the beacon fire lit up the entire Great Wall.
And today, five years later, the Han Dynasty has the ability to overthrow the Xiongnu from the throne.
This made Yi Zhixian puzzled.
But there is one thing that he knows very well in his heart, that is: the Xiongnu is already in the most critical moment after Toumandanyu, if the response is not correct, waiting for the Han Dynasty when the tiger opens its fangs, the Xiongnu Empire will fall into eternal darkness.
