I have lived forever since the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 430 Military Minister Shanyu: The advantage is mine

"When our army entered the Han Dynasty, it was like crossing an uninhabited country." Shanyu, a military minister, sat on his horse and raised his whip excitedly. "It turns out that this big man looks like a bad wolf. He has scared us all these years. Now it seems, It’s just a sheep in wolf’s clothing, nothing more than appearance.”

He had been in charge of the Xiongnu for more than twenty years. Not long after he took the throne, the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion broke out within the Han Dynasty.

According to the idea of ​​Shanyu, the military minister, they should take the opportunity to lead the army south and attack the city.

It's just that at that time, his prestige within the Xiongnu was not enough, and many senior officials were as afraid of big men as they were of tigers and leopards.

In addition, Dai Guo's "Xinjiang Guard Army" did not participate in the turmoil and still played a deterrent role.

As a result, they argued endlessly and lost the best opportunity to attack. Later, they tried to wait and see the further development of the situation, hoping that there would be an internal split in the Han Dynasty.

However, as Chen Luo led his troops to fight the rebellion, it only took half a year in total.

After being comforted internally, the military minister Shanyu understood that even if he gathered an army, he would not achieve any results. Instead, he forced the army to go south at this time. If it failed, his prestige would be damaged.

Not worth the candle.

But the situation now is different.

After more than twenty years of rule, he has integrated various tribes in Daxia. Although he is not as good as his grandfather Modun Chanyu, he can still be regarded as the most respected lord on the grassland.

Last winter, there was a heavy snowfall, and the wood used for making fires was frozen dry. Countless cattle and sheep were killed in the snowstorm. Now it is spring, but there are still many areas on the grassland that have not thawed. The tribe is in urgent need of blood, so the best way is to go south to plunder and rely on Han people's food to tide over the difficulties.

At this time, a merchant from the Han Dynasty contacted him through King Xiutu's tribe, saying that he could lead the way when the Xiongnu entered the customs and find the centralized grazing point of the Han people in Yanmen County.

Thinking of this, the corners of Shan Yu's lips raised slightly.

With the right time, right location, and right people, it was extremely easy to penetrate more than a hundred miles into Han Dynasty without encountering any decent obstacles.

This was simply a disenchanting battle, breaking the fear caused by the big man pressing down on them.

King Zuo Xian agreed: "I, the archer of Great Xia, have gone through no fewer than fifty battles, and this Yanmen County is the gateway of the Han Dynasty. Seventy years ago, Shanyu went south from here. Although he failed to achieve full success, But we have gained a lot. Now more than seventy years have passed. The general Han Xin who led the troops to block our army passed away last year, and the talents of the Han Dynasty are withering. On the contrary, our tribes in Daxia are full of vitality, and everything is in competition. No matter how It can be said that I have the advantage in this battle.”

The military minister Chanyu laughed loudly: "I laugh at the fact that the Han emperor is so smart and the Han generals are so clueless. After this battle, Yanmen County in the Han Kingdom will surely become the pasture of our Xiongnu."

The Huns around him also grinned.

For a time, the Xiongnu army was filled with a happy atmosphere.

"Chanyu, Mr. Nie wants to see you." The soldiers of the military minister Shanyu came to report.

Shanyu, the military minister, stopped laughing, waved his hand and said solemnly: "Invite Mr. Nie in quickly. I wonder if he has any advice."

The other party was a merchant giant in the border trade, and he volunteered to inform Han of the loopholes in border defense through King Xiutu's line.

The reason why their attack was so smooth was precisely because of the existence of Mr. Nie.

Under such circumstances, the military minister Shanyu even planned to make the other party king and in charge of a tribe after this robbery to show his intention to win over. Nie Yi was wide and fat, wearing a dark robe. He did not ride a horse, but traveled with the army in a car.

When he met the military minister Chanyu, he looked a bit like a businessman in his eyes and saluted with a smile: "I have seen the supreme Chanyu surrounded by the sun and the moon. The great and invincible team you led is now marching to The place is called Wuzhou. It was originally a place where border troops were stationed. However, due to the deployment of border defense a few years ago, troops were no longer stationed here.

And we continued to go southwest and arrived at Mayi County. Just by listening to the name, you can tell that this is the land where Han Dynasty herds horses and sheep. There are countless cattle and sheep. This is the purpose of our trip. land.

When I get there, I wonder if the great Chanyu can reward me with five hundred taels of gold and a thousand cattle and sheep as promised to me by King Xiutu? "

King Zuo Xian, the military minister Shan Yu, could not help but frown, "If you really get such a harvest, I will definitely not treat you badly. Why are you anxious?"

"Hey." Shan Yu, the military minister, raised his right hand, indicating that he could speak. He showed a smile that he thought was kind and looked at Nie Yi, "Mr. Nie, if you are willing to serve Da Xia, then how can I treat Da Xia badly?" Where are the people?

When you return to the grassland, I will fulfill all the promises that King Xiutu made to you, and I will also give you the power to open up a separate area and own a separate pasture. "

As soon as these words came out, King Zuo Xian couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Isn't this equivalent to becoming a king?

Although the number of kings of the Xiongnu has increased compared with a few decades ago, and there are more than just left and right kings and kings of Guli, this does not mean that the gold content of the kings will be lowered.

After all, owning a piece of pasture alone can attract at least a few thousand people and control thousands of cattle and sheep, which is equivalent to controlling a cavalry team of a thousand people.

No matter where it is placed, this is a force that cannot be underestimated.

A light flashed in Nie Yi's narrow eyes, the corners of his mouth turned up, and the fat on his cheeks trembled, "Thank you, Shanyu, thank you, Shanyu."

"This Shanyu has clear distinctions between rewards and punishments. What Mr. Nie has done is worthy of such a reward." Seeing the other party's reaction, the military minister Shanyu smiled with satisfaction.

When Nie Yi left, King Zuo Xian couldn't help but said, "Chanyu, why did you promise such a high position to the despicable Han people? There is no precedent for this on the grassland, and this person has neither skills nor bravery." , just relying on... uh, how can I deserve your attention? "

Traitors are despised everywhere.

In King Zuo Xian's view, Nie Yi was just a villain who betrayed the Han Kingdom and betrayed loopholes in border defense, but he could gain a status no less than noble.

I am ashamed to be associated with this generation.

The military minister Shan Yu said with a deep expression: "King Zuo Xian, have you ever heard of the story of a Han monarch who bought a horse bone for a thousand gold? I am willing to pay such a price to reward Nie Yi, not because of his personal ability, but because I want to We need to let more Han people know about the benefits that we can get by joining our forces.

From then on, when we go south to knock the pass, won't we be able to walk unhindered just like we are on the grassland? No matter where we go, there will be Han people who welcome us? "

King Zuo Xian was stunned for a moment, then praised: "Chan Yu Yingming, your wisdom is beyond the reach of our dull people."

The military minister Shan Yu nodded with satisfaction, "Give me the order and continue setting off. According to what Nie Yi said, go to Mayi in the Han Kingdom and let our army plunder as much as you like!"
