"What is the situation of the King of Zhelan and the King of Aries?" Liu Che put aside the topic of the Anbei Protectorate and asked about the leaders of the two Xiongnu tribes who had been captured.

Although it is said that the general situation of the King of Zhelan and the King of Aries, many Han generals, including Yizong, have already reported the specific situation to Liu Che through a letter of letters.

However, the text, especially the Han sonata, is not very careful in many cases.

Therefore, Liu Che only knew that these captured Hun nobles were currently in a stable mood and could recognize the reality of their captives.

When Yi Zong heard this, he thought about it in his heart, and then replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the King of Zhelan and the King of Aries, now, like a dog of the ministers......"

"Huh?" Liu Che asked, "To what extent?" ”

"For example, the minister of Goujian, the king of Yue, Wu Wangfu sent ......," Yi Zong replied.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Liu Che's mouth.

Goujian, the king of Yue, was defeated by his husband that year.

In addition to lying on the salary and tasting the guts, the most thing to do is to kneel and lick the husband without a lower limit.

Sending money to girls, these are common things.

According to historical records, in order to paralyze his husband, Gou Jian even licked Xiang and drank urine......

It's really endured to the limit of what humans can bear.

Yizong's meaning is obviously very straightforward to tell Liu Che: These people are not credible.

"Xiongnu Shan Yu, a month ago, sent an envoy to discuss with me to redeem the matter of Zhelan and Baiyang......" Liu Che did not ask Yizong why he thought that the captured Zhelan King and the Aries King were 'Gou Jian', he instead began to mention the Xiongnu Shan Yuting's actions: "I have already agreed, the general of the army." Or if there is restlessness, go to appease. Don't make the general dissatisfied......"

For Liu Che.

Since he can defeat the Huns once, he will definitely be able to defeat them twice.

Since ancient times. Whenever a Chinese dynasty rises and begins to fight the steppe peoples, as long as the dynasty does not infighting and does not decline.

The nomads of the steppe, no matter how much they struggle in the face of this dynasty, will be defeated.

Although the Xiongnu were a little special, in history, they had fiercely resisted and resisted such a fate, which also caused a lot of trouble to the two Han Dynasty.

But as a result. But it was predestined.

The king went north and beat everything.

Even on the occasion of Yuan Cheng, there was Chen Tang, an expedition of thousands of miles, a handsome division to conquer the country, and take the first order to shock the world.

What's more, today's Han family is on the right path of rising and becoming strong.

The gap between the Han and the Xiongnu in all aspects. It's getting bigger every day.

Not to mention, as long as the Han family can digest the dividends of this war.

The next time, the Han army will go out of the fortress, and it will inevitably be a direct attack on Huanglong. Stepping through the lack of Helan Mountain, it is a matter of asking for blame.

In such a situation, only a few prisoners. It's irrelevant.

Not to mention, these captives can be exchanged for decades in the past. Those compatriots who were taken captive by the Huns.

But Liu Che is still a little worried that the extreme hawks in the army are making trouble. So, let Yi Zong appease.

Liu Che has always attached the greatest importance to the ideological and political work of the army, especially the ideological work of officers above the rank of the corps.

Because the Han army is actually composed of individual teams.

Controlling the idea of team rate and encircling the team rate, Liu Che can firmly grasp the gun in his hands, and he is not afraid of anyone in the air.

The so-called martial arts system and the imperial historian judge system are all based on this idea and extended.

"As for the King of Zhelan and the King of Aries, whether it is Gou Jian or a loyal dog, it has nothing to ......do with me," Liu Che sneered and said, "If you want to be troubled, the military ministers will be troubled......

The King of Aries and the King of Zhelan, along with the other captive Xiongnu nobles, were released.

For Liu Che, it is not only to be able to exchange for those people who have been taken captive.

At the same time, it is also a good thing to add blockage to the Huns.

Whether they wanted to try their courage and fight again after returning to the Xiongnu, or they were discouraged and used wine to kill their sorrows, it was excellent for Liu Che's Han family.

The former will make them jump up and down within the Xiongnu, disrupt the situation, and affect judgment.

It may even cause civil unrest.

Think about it, a group of nobles who were 'ashamed of the defeat of Ma Yi' all day long and vowed to wash their shame with blood, forced Shan Yuting to turn back.

As for Shan Yuting, the westward expansion policy has almost been determined.

It is likely that when these people returned to the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu army had already marched westward.

By that time......

Shan Yuting's good show, I'm afraid it will be staged non-stop.

Historically, a regime that cannot be unified in its internal opinions will fall into infinite internal friction.

In the history of mankind, there has never been a country or nation that can make a difference in the midst of internal strife when a strong enemy is on its side.

If it's the latter, so much the better.

Send a batch of rice worms to the Huns, consume their national strength, and by the way, borrow their mouths to promote the might and strength of the Han royal division, so that in the future, they may be able to surrender without a fight and break up many of the possible resistance.

After all, the nomads have the characteristics of being a mother when they have milk, and when they encounter a strong enemy, their knees will be soft, which has existed since ancient times -- for most of the tribes on the grassland, they have no national and national cognition and consciousness at all, and for them, anyway, there is no difference between being slaves and eagle dogs for the Donghu people and being slaves and eagle dogs for the Huns. Similarly, there is no difference between a concubine and an eagle dog in the Han Dynasty.

They are the quintessential wall-weeds.

"The captured Hun soldiers, but have they all been settled?" Liu Che skipped the topic of King Zhelan and King Aries, and instead asked about the situation of the captured soldiers and lower-class nobles: "What are their attitudes and thoughts?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, this generation is very honest" Yi Zong thought of his disciple, the Hun nobleman beside Tian Jian, and couldn't help but smile at the corner ......of his mouth.

Before the Battle of Mayi, to be honest, Yizong always thought that the Huns, like the Han people, were probably people who were full of blood and strength, loyal and unyielding, and swore not to surrender.

Even, maybe the Huns were stronger than the Han in this aspect.

Barbarian, well-developed limbs and simple mind. Admit death!

But what Yizong didn't expect was that they did admit death.

But they recognize the death of the king and the defeat of the king even more naked than China.

The victor deserves all the right to dispose of the loser.

After the Huns were captured and surrendered, even the Zhelan, who in the past considered to be brutal and tyrannical. It also immediately became more obedient than a kitten.

They did everything they could, they did everything they could. made the most naked and thorough gesture of submission to the Han army.

For example, the livestock and horses captured by the Xiliu battalion are now mostly these captives helping to graze and take care of them.

They are very serious and meticulous in their work.

Let the Yizong and the Han army be dumbfounded, and they can't even believe that these people are the Zhelan and Aries cavalry who once shocked the whole world with blood and terror.

Fortunately, King Lou Fu and other righteous nobles. Solved the confusion of Yizong.

According to the statement of King Lou Fu, the grassland has been impermanence since ancient times, and the people who lead the bow are Donghu today, Yueshi tomorrow, and the Huns the day after tomorrow, and Xi is the norm, so the people who lead the bow are defeated and captured, and they are all scrambling. for the slaves of the new master, lest they be killed and destroyed.

And the people who draw the bow, those who are afraid, have no master. The ownerless, like the grass mustard in autumn, cannot survive the winter!

To put it simply. The captured Xiongnu subordinates and nobles worked hard for the Han army. Actively dedicated, just to make a statement to the new master. At the same time, they are looking for a new owner.

For nomads, not having a master is the most terrifying thing in the world.

Even the Qiang people, Xiaoyue clans, and Ding Ling people on the grassland, who have low status and do not form a group, will do everything possible to find a master for themselves.

Because without a master, it means death and extinction.

But the Han military system was completely different from the Xiongnu system.

In the Xiongnu, the victors' soldiers would immediately divide up the captured and plundered population.

The Han army, for the captured Xiongnu tribesmen, was generally disarmed, centrally guarded and managed, and waited for Chang'an's disposal orders.

This made the captured Huns panic.

Without a master to claim them, they cannot be sure of their fate and live in fear all the time.

So, they immediately came to a consensus - we must find ourselves a master!

In the steppe, defeated captives, the way to find the master is simple.

That is to desperately express himself to his new master.

Just like animals in heat, the males will use all means and methods to show their corolla, muscles, and size in front of the females.

And the Huns did not know how to farm, they could only herd.

So, they desperately helped the Han army to take care of and manage the livestock, and tried every means to pass on the message that they were useful, master, to the Han people.

In the hope that there will be a nobleman of the Han Dynasty, he will come up to them and say: Good slave, it's you, come home with me!

But unfortunately, the system of the Han family decided that all power would belong to the Son of Heaven.

Rewards and punishments, rituals and pleasures, all come from the Son of Heaven.

Without the order of the Son of Heaven, these captives will always be captives.

Yizong told Liu Che the words of King Lou, as well as his own understanding and opinions, what he saw and heard, in popular words as much as possible, and then asked: "Your Majesty, what should be done with these captives?" ”

After listening to this, Liu Che nodded.

In fact, he also understood the knowledge of the Huns or the nomads on the steppe.

Three years ago, Xia Rouge brought thousands of slaves and maids to the Han family to marry, and the performance of these slaves and maids had already told Liu Che what kind of group the nomads were.

They live in the vast prairies and live by grazing.

Their daily staple food is various dairy products such as cheese.

This diet allowed the nomads to evolve a stubby body and strong limbs.

It also makes their culture and beliefs full of primitive barbarism.

But at the same time, although dairy products are rich in protein, they lack enough vitamins and various trace elements.

This directly leads to the fact that nomadic individuals generally do not live long and are prone to various diseases.

That's why tea from China is so popular on the grasslands.

Because tea leaves are boiled with milk, salt and oil, and a handful of fried rice can replenish their lack of vitamins and other trace elements and balance their electrolytes.

This kind of living conditions, which are different from those of the agrarian peoples, have led to the gradual development of the characteristics of the nomadic people for millions of years: the submission of the strong and the need for masters.

Surrendering to the strong is for the survival and continuation of one's own tribe and oneself.

The master is needed because, on the steppe, the individual is fragile and dangerous, and simply cannot survive.

Without the protection of the group, a single individual human cannot even survive on the steppe for a year!

Disease, beasts and other human attacks can kill people at any time.

For thousands of years, these two concepts have been deeply imprinted into the bone marrow of every nomadic and passed down from generation to generation.

In their beliefs, the absence of a master is as terrible and terrifying as the absence of ancestors in China.

In China, a person who has no ancestors means that he has no past, which is very sad.

And in the steppe, without an owner, it means that he has no future, which is even more sad.

Why was the slave who was married by Rouge so well-behaved and obedient?

Because Liu Che once appeared in front of them with Xia Rouge, and admitted and recognized his identity as their master.

As a result, they were instantly given great satisfaction and comfort......

It may be an overstatement.

But in fact, it is.

Especially now, those defeated Zhelan and White Aries and the cavalry captives of the Xiongnu headquarters.

The panic and uneasiness in their hearts may be like that of a Chinese scholar who was told that his ancestral tomb and ancestral hall had been demolished.

They are in a state of tension and fear.

To be reasonable, in fact, the Han family did not have the experience of placing and disposing of so many Xiongnu prisoners, and for a while, the government and the opposition could not come up with any specific measures.

After all, that's close to 20,000 prisoners of war!

Although someone once suggested that they should simply kill them all.

However, before this person finished speaking, he was sprayed back by the ministers.

Liu Che would not agree to such a stupid thing as killing prisoners!

The Zhuxia nation, from ancient times to the present day, has long been free from ignorance and barbarism and embraced civilization.

On the battlefield, the two armies are at war, killing is inevitable, and even, the more enemies our army kills, the better.

But since the enemy has surrendered, it is of no use to kill the prisoners except to appear inferior and incompetent.

Moreover, Bai Qikeng killed Changping prisoners of war, and Xiang Yu burned Guanzhong, and they had already told the Han people with a bloody lesson that they would not surrender if they killed prisoners, and they were convicted in heaven.

Fortunately, Liu Che is an open-minded traverser.

The greatest role of the traverser is not that he is smarter and thinks more than others, but that he knows many things that others do not know.

For example, the disposal of prisoners of war and the arrangements for the surrendered Huns.

Emperor Wu's more than forty years of experience is enough for Liu Che to understand what he should do.

You must know that the Xiongnu prisoners of war, converts and vassals that Emperor Wu once disposed of and resettled were not one or two, 12,000, 12,000.

In the entire Wudi Dynasty, the total number of nomadic tribes used and conquered was almost more than one million!

These experiences and lessons are in Liu Che's mind at the moment, so that he knows how to deal with the current problems. (To be continued.) )
