Section 908 Prisoner Exchange (1)

After arranging the affairs of the brothers, Liu Che set his sights on the north.

Calculating the time, the first prisoner exchange in the history of Han and Hungary should have been held under the city in the clouds at this moment.

As a prelude to the latest treaty between the two countries.

This time, the Han and Hungarian sides will exchange 300 prisoners of war.

Of course, they are all inconsequential pawns.

On the Han side, those sent out were all captives with broken hands and feet, at least over thirty years old. (The life expectancy of humans on the grassland is very low, forty years old is considered a high life, and at the age of thirty, the average herdsman will enter the aging period)

And the Huns naturally don't have any good intentions.

Probably, it should be to take some of the old, weak, sick and disabled like the prisoners handed over by the Han family.

However, this matter still has huge political significance!

This will tell the whole world that the Emperor of the Han family and the Emperor Liu will not give up any of his subjects.

As long as it does this.

It can inspire the morale of the people of the world, and it can also take the opportunity to brush up a wave of prestige and leave an endless legacy for future generations.

"In the Xiongnu country, there are at least 200,000 exiles and their descendants......" Liu Che tapped his fingers lightly: "It is probably not realistic to redeem them all, but only half of them are enough!" ”

Half the population, that's 100,000 people!

Even if only one-tenth of them are strong men, they are 10,000 avengers who are good at riding and archery, and are full of hatred for the Huns.

More critically, they are familiar with the geography and landforms of the grasslands.

It will become the key to the future Han army's exit!

In history, in the Wudi Dynasty, among these captive Xiongnu people, there were many, many generals.

The most famous, of course, are the two fierce generals under Huo Quaiwei Qing, Zhao Ponu and Zhao Xin.

Needless to say, Zhao Ponu said.

If you don't break Loulan, you won't return it!

Raid thousands of miles with 800 horsemen, destroy the country and return!

In the entire history of ancient warfare, it can be compared with Ban Dingyuan's management of the Western Regions, and Wang Xuance conquered half of India on a single horse.

As for the other one......

Although this person eventually became a traitor, and a notorious traitor.

He taught the invincible Han military techniques, tactics and combat methods to the Huns, and formulated a strategy for the Huns to speed up the desert and exchange space for time.

But in terms of ability and record, objectively evaluated, this person is indeed very powerful!

If he wasn't powerful, Emperor Wu wouldn't have heard the news of Zhao Xin's death in history, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.

Today's Han family, what is most lacking is generals like Zhao Ponu and Zhao Xin.

Among the existing generals, even if they are righteous columns, they have never had the experience of leading an army to expedition thousands or even tens of thousands of miles to conquer the country and capture the king.

"Today, even if there is Zhao Xin, I can use it!" Liu Che said confidently.

Zhao Xin rebelled against the Han, of course, the impact was extremely bad.

However, if Zhao Xin appeared in the current Han family, it would be impossible for him to betray the Han.

The reason is simple.

Liu Che was much more generous than Emperor Wu.

Why was Liu Bang able to defeat Xiang Yu back then?

The answer is that Liu Bang is more generous than Xiang Yu.

With your eyes closed, you can make a bunch of promises.

Can Xiang Yu?

No, so the heroes and heroes of the world have all surrendered to the Han and rebelled.

Yingbu, Peng Yue, and Han Xin joined the battlefield at a critical moment and dealt a fatal blow to Xiang Yu, which directly led to the rapid demise of Western Chu.

It's the same now.

In Liu Che's eyes, in addition to China's inherent sacred territory (the territory of the **** in later generations), there is nothing that cannot be divided.

Anyway, the cub sells his heart and doesn't feel distressed.

It is also better for the meat to rot in the pot than to be eaten outside.

What Central Asia, West Asia, and India, Liu Che can give them away without hesitation and give them to the heroes.

As for the promise of not wanting money and the honor of the title, Liu Che is even more generous.

……………………………………

At this moment, outside Yunzhong City, as Liu Che expected, the first ceremony of exchanging prisoners between Han and Hungary was underway.

The cavalry of the Han and Hungarian countries lined up in a wasteland eighty miles outside the city of Yunzhong.

According to the requirements that have been agreed on a long time.

Both the Han and the Hungarians sent only 500 horsemen to come here.

And they all tacitly shrank their respective armies back forty miles, creating a demilitarized zone with a radius of forty miles on the border between the two countries.

The Huns were very sincere.

They didn't even bring weapons, but they rode and brought their captives.

This is the credit of difficult lobbying.

He told the military ministers: If you want to win the trust of the Han Dynasty, you must first show sincerity.

To put it simply, it is to make the Han Dynasty 100% sure that the Xiongnu are indeed willing to fully abide by the treaty between the two countries.

Is there anything more peaceful and sincere than going to the covenant unarmed?

Without!

Of course, this move was also criticized within the Xiongnu.

But under the strategy of the Western Expedition, these criticisms were all ignored.

Of course, the sincerity of the Huns ended there.

This time, the prisoners of war they brought were all Han Dynasty soldiers and civilians who were captured and taken captive 20 years ago.

The youngest of these people is also in his thirties this year.

This is in the grassland, and it will die at any time.

For the Huns, it was useless to keep them.

Generally speaking, when the slaves and even the herdsmen were old and decrepit, and there was no need for labor, the various tribes in the Xiongnu would choose to abandon them and let them fend for themselves on the steppe.

It's like a captive who was exchanged back this time.

The Huns did not even think about rehousing them.

The military minister even ordered: When crossing the west of the river, put it in the south of Yinshan.

To put it simply, it is to let them go to the mountains, whether they are left to fend for themselves, or to herd sheep with the Qiang people to make a living.

Just don't come to increase the burden of the Huns!

And these captives also know their fate.

One by one, their heads drooped, looking like they were waiting for death with their eyes closed.

Even, some people begged bitterly, splashed and rolled, and refused to go back.

But......

Wei Shang rode on his horse, looked at the captives, and snorted in his nose: "Why did you go earlier......

These prisoners of war were lazy scoundrels and saboteurs selected from the prisoner of war camps and various pastures.

In Wei Shang's opinion, the Son of Heaven is benevolent, giving rain and dew to give you a chance to join the glorious and great Zhuxia nation, but you don't take advantage of the opportunity!?

It's a sin that deserves death!

The Han family doesn't raise rice worms, let alone Yidi rice worms!

Wei Shang raised his eyes and looked at his comrades behind the Hun cavalry fifty paces away.

Even though he was used to seeing strong winds and waves, he still couldn't help but tremble a little with his hands.

Because, these captives, are specially requested and designated captives.

All of them were people who were taken captive from the clouds when the old Shangshan invaded.

The warriors who fought alongside him, or the people who moved grain and grass for him behind him!

It's a pity that he could only watch these comrades, these Sangzi people, being taken away by the Huns.

Today......

"Wei Shang has come to pick up all the old brothers and go home!"

Thinking like this, Wei Shangce immediately stepped forward and met the Hun nobleman opposite.

According to the agreement, Wei Shang had already known the identity of the other party in advance - Lan Tuoxin, the left master of the Xiongnu.

For Lan's, Wei Shang is not a model at all.

This is an old friend!

Back then, when he was young, he became famous all over the world by cutting off the head of a Hun nobleman surnamed Lan!

"I don't know, who is this person?" Wei Shang thought in his heart.

The relationship between the Huns was very complicated.

On the one hand, they attach great importance to the purity of their bloodlines.

But on the other hand, the Huns didn't care at all whether the children born to their wives were their own or their brothers', anyway, as long as they were the blood of their own clan, they regarded them as their own.

Therefore, the relationship within the major clans is actually extremely complicated.

In many cases, outsiders simply cannot tell whether someone and his uncle are uncles or fathers.

……………………

On the other side, Lan Tuoxin looked at the Han general who was slowly coming towards him with a complicated expression.

He clenched his hands, his teeth clenching.

But not hatred.

It's fear.

Han Yunzhong County guards Wei Shang!

The whole grassland is like thunder.

If there was no Battle of Mayi, he would be the most terrible enemy of the Xiongnu!

In the Shan Yu court, there are even herdsmen who set up worship for it, like a god.

In the past, on such an occasion, Lan Tuoxin would definitely do anything to kill this old general of the Han Dynasty.

But now......

Lan Tuoxin took a deep breath and looked at the Han Qi behind the veteran with a complicated expression.

With just one glance, Lan Tuoxin lowered his head!

After the Battle of Mayi, even if the Huns were unwilling to admit it, they also knew that the world, experts in playing cavalry, had changed from the Xiongnu to the Han Dynasty.

Take a look at the equipment of those Han riders!

Everyone is well armed and armed.

A lot of equipment made Lan Tuoxin a little frightened when he saw it.

"Is it that the Han army equipped with such equipment annihilated Yin Zhixie's army?" Landosin thought to himself, and then he looked back at the captives.

Among these captives, he installed a dozen reliable minions that he had selected with the Bank of China.

They had been completely brainwashed and became dead soldiers fighting for the Huns.

"I hope they can bring back the secret ...... of equipment and weapons for the Great Xiongnu of the Han Dynasty"

……………………

"On the order of the birthday month of heaven and earth, the Huns left the big man Lan Tuoxin, worship the Han general!" Lan Tuoxin is very fluent in Chinese, even fluent as a Chinese scholar.

This made Wei Shang slightly stunned.

After the stunned, it was shocked.

"Listen to the accent, this is the accent of Zhao Guo......"

"Could it be that the Bank of China said that the thief has resurrected?"

"I must report this to the Son of Heaven!"

As a veteran general, Wei Shang said that he had dealt with the Bank of China for most of his life.

The two have never met, though.

But from a distance of 10,000 miles, Wei Shang's nose could smell the stench on the body of the eunuch who was said by the Bank of China.

In Wei Shang's eyes, there was no enemy more vigilant than the Bank of China.

This mad and shameless eunuch once loomed behind the large-scale invasions of the Huns.

Even, in many cases, the Huns' march route and strategy were all handled by the Bank of China. (To be continued.) )
