The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 141 The wisdom of the big man

Such a bloody and barbaric scene made both Zhang Qian and Er Ti feel disgusted with the Huns, but Tang Yifu's expression remained normal.

Because he was a Huns and had seen such a scene in his life.

But Erti was filled with righteous indignation. The hand he placed on the rock suddenly clenched into a fist, his fingertips turned white, and he gritted his teeth.

Although the Huns were treating the people of the Western Regions at this time, you can imagine how the Huns once treated the Han people!

The three of them looked at the scene in front of them, feeling angry but helpless.

We can only wait quietly for the Huns to leave.

Time passed, and the Huns took the captured woman and prepared to leave. However, the direction in which the Huns left was exactly where Zhang Qian and the others were hiding!
"not good!"

Seeing the Huns gradually approaching, Zhang Qian and Er Ti's expressions changed.

How to do? !

They thought quickly in their minds about how to escape.

However, time waits for no one, and the Huns are getting closer and closer, and finally they are discovered.

"Don't move!"

Zhang Qian suddenly reminded Er Ti in a low voice and asked Er Ti not to resist.

The Huns suddenly discovered Zhang Qian and the three men hiding behind the boulder. They looked shocked, but then calmed down. A group of Huns immediately surrounded them, but they did not kill them immediately.

I saw that the leader of the Huns saw the Han clothes on the three people, and one of the Han people was actually holding a strange thing in his hand.

Several Huns discussed in low voices, and then looked at Zhang Qian and the others together, waved their hands to surround Zhang Qian, confiscated their weapons, took away their belongings, and captured the three of them, preparing to escort them away. Go somewhere else.

"They said they were going to sacrifice us to their king, the military minister Shanyu. Their king was very interested in the Han people!"

On the side, Tang Yi's father explained to the two of them in a low voice.

Bai Zhi, who was in Zhang Qian's body at this moment, did not take action. After all, Zhang Qian had made an agreement with him before. However, Bai Zhi was always paying attention to prevent Zhang Qian's life from being in danger.

"I'm afraid I can't escape this time..."

Zhang Qian sighed softly, and then whispered to the two people beside him.

Erti obeyed Zhang Qian's words and did not take action. Under the threat of the Huns' cavalry, he put his long sword on the ground and was captured.

As a result, Zhang Qian and the others were escorted by the Huns to an unknown place.

On the way, Zhang Qian looked at the women behind him who were also being escorted by the Huns. Their faces were obviously from the Western Regions, which were obviously different from those of the Han people.

Quite exotic.

"Brother, why do we have to surrender?"

Erti didn't understand.

Zhang Qian glanced at his brother and couldn't help but whispered: "There are only three of us, how can we kill nearly a hundred Huns cavalry?"

"Besides, our journey must pass through the countries in the Western Region, and all the countries in the Western Region are controlled by the Huns."

"We are traveling through the Western Regions in fear. We still need to avoid the Huns. We might as well be caught by the Huns directly and use the Huns to help us through this journey!"

After hearing Zhang Qian's explanation, Er Ti had new doubts in his mind, and asked: "How did brother know that the Huns will not kill us?"

"When we left the Han border town, the Huns we met at that time said that the Xiongnu Chanyu was very interested in us Han people..."

"..."

After listening to Zhang Qian's explanation, Er Ti looked suddenly enlightened, and Zhang Qian said: "For a general, bravery is the lowest, and strategy is the highest!"

"Brother, learn from me!"

……

As the Huns slowly moved north, the desolate Gobi Desert gradually receded and turned into an endless prairie stretching to the horizon.

The green grass, the blue sky, and even the gentle breeze blowing by, the grass on the grass seems to have been combed by fine weeds, and cattle and sheep can be seen on the wind-blown grass!
The Huns walked very slowly, as if they were deliberately taking care of Zhang Qian and the other three, and they also seemed to be taking care of the woman they captured.

The sun rose and the moon set, and three days had passed since they were captured by the Huns' cavalry. During these three days, they slowly moved northwestward under the leadership of the Huns.

The night was shrouded in silence on the grassland, and the rustling chirping of small insects could be heard in the green grass.

The stars are dotted in the sky, just like the stars falling, making people feel like they are among the stars, and they can pick up the moon with their hands.

On the grass, more than a dozen bonfires were lit. The Huns were sitting around the bonfires, while Zhang Qian and the other three were alone by a bonfire.

Among the three of them, Tang Yi's father walked towards the Huns, talking to the Huns with a flattering smile on his face.

Zhang Qian and Er Ti seemed not to notice, adding horse dung to the bonfire.

"Brothers, are you planning to go to the royal court?"

Tangyi's father was originally a Huns, and he directly talked with the Huns in their own language.When several Huns saw Tang Yi's father coming, they couldn't help but feel vigilant. After all, Tang Yi's father had been with the two Han people before.

"Go away, you traitor!"

I saw a Hun with a look of disgust on his face, scolding Tang Yi's father.

The Huns next to him heard the sound and quickly looked over, with a look of excitement on their faces.

Hearing the Huns' scolding, Tang Yi's father not only didn't feel any displeasure, but the flattering smile on his face became even brighter, but the next moment, he slowly showed a sad look.

"Do you think I am willing to be a traitor?!"

The Huns were stunned by Tang Yi's father's sudden questioning look. Before they could get angry, they heard Tang Yi's father say again: "I was also a great warrior of the king, and I once rode on the back of a mighty horse. , galloping wantonly on the grassland!"

"However, one day the Han people came. They killed my people and captured my father, mother, wife and son!"

"The despicable Han people threatened me with my family and asked me to escort those two Han people to the Western Regions!"

"In order to protect my family, I can only succumb to the power of the Han people, but I know that I am a Huns and cannot be enslaved by the Han people..."

"..."

Tang Yi's father had stayed in Chang'an for nearly ten years. He even learned Han writing and read Han books in Chang'an. He picked up all kinds of allusions and idioms at his fingertips, which made the Huns who had just glared at him suddenly look sad and angry. There is also deep compassion!

After Tang Yi's father finished speaking, his voice became trembling, a heavy sound came from his breath, and his eyes were wet, which was particularly obvious in the campfire.

Seeing this, the Huns who had just scolded Tang Yi's father were at a loss. After a moment, he spoke again, looked at Tang Yi's father, and said sincerely: "Brother, I'm sorry. I thought you were a traitor just now. I didn't expect you." , Brother, you are so pitiful... May the eternal God care for your family!" "May the eternal God care for your family!"

Immediately, the surrounding Huns also said the same thing, and their eyes looking at Tang Yi's father no longer had the previous hostility, but instead showed pity.

"Brother, can you tell us about your life in Dahan? Our king plans to attack Dahan soon, invade their royal court, and capture their king alive!"

One of the Huns had an angry look on his face, as if he was still immersed in Tang Yifu's tragic fate.

"Ugh……"

Tang Yi's father sighed softly and said: "We are children of the grassland. We should be like eagles and the fiercest horses, running wildly on the vast grassland. Sometimes, I really envy you!" "

Immediately, Tang Yi's father's words completely defeated the last vigilance of the Huns. Their faces showed shame, as if they were ashamed of their attitude towards Tang Yi's father just now.

"Brother, I have wine here that I got from people in the Western Regions. Come, let's enjoy it together..."

"Yes, enjoy together!"

"I have oil tea here made by my wife..."

"..."

……

"Father Tangyi, this is..."

When Erti heard the enthusiastic voice coming from beside him and saw his father-in-law drinking wine, he suddenly showed a look of wonder.

Zhang Qian also turned to look, and then whispered to Erti: "Father Tangyi, he is a Huns. As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you survive a hundred battles!"

"Relying on his identity as a Huns, I asked him to inquire about information. I also hope that he can get useful information from the Huns!"

At this time, Erti also understood his brother's purpose of letting him not resist and be caught by the Huns.I'm afraid it's just to get deep into the Huns' royal court and get information about the Huns.

At the same time, inside Zhang Qian's body, Bai Zhi naturally paid attention to the conversation between the two. After hearing Zhang Qian's words, he understood why Zhang Qian didn't let him do anything again.

At the same time, I also thought of the Han Dynasty during this period.

"During the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, had just experienced the Wenjing rule and the country was strong, so it also gave Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty the confidence to attack the Huns from the north!"

"However, before that, the Han Dynasty implemented Huang-Lao's rule and only focused on developing people's livelihood. The external wars were basically finished by Liu Bang's time!"

"As for the subsequent war between the Huns and the Han, it can only be said to be daily friction. Moreover, the Han showed weakness and sought peace by making peace."

"So, the Han Dynasty not only knows nothing about the countries in the Western Regions, but also knows very little about the Huns!"

Bai Zhi sighed softly and thought about the historical evaluation of Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions.

Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions was like playing a game, with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty as the player. However, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had no idea where there were monsters or where the economy could be developed, because the entire map was black.

The appearance of Zhang Qian was equivalent to opening up the entire map to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che, allowing Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che to instantly observe the entire game map.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, sent Zhang Qian as an envoy to the Western Regions not only to contact the Yuezhi who had enmity with the Huns, but also to observe the countries in the Western Regions and obtain maps and information for future wars.

"Sure enough, we cannot ignore the wisdom of the ancients..."

This overly charming and lovely ancestor...

After a while, the Huns finally gradually stopped.

Tang Yifu, surrounded by many Huns, then slightly raised his hands and said to the Huns: "I am already an eagle with broken wings. Without the fierce horses of the vast grassland, I can't run carelessly like you all. I still In order to protect my wife, children and family, I will continue to be enslaved by the Han people..."

Tang Yi's father sounded sad and angry. When he said this, he seemed to be gnashing his teeth. The Huns around him were filled with indignation. They all looked angrily at Zhang Qian and Er Ti next to them, wishing they could kill Zhang Qian and them immediately with their swords.
But I heard my cousin Yifu quickly advise: "Brothers, please don't be impulsive. My family is still in the Han Dynasty. As long as these two Han people cannot go back, my family will..."

Tang Yi's father didn't say it clearly, but they understood it instantly.

So, under the watchful eyes of many Huns, Tang Yifu returned to the bonfire where Zhang Qian was.

Seeing Tang Yi's father return, Erti quickly asked in a low voice what had just happened.

Tang Yi's father also recounted everything that had just happened.

"The Huns are really stupid and easy to deceive!"

After listening to Tangyi's father's words, Erti couldn't help laughing, laughing at the stupidity of the Huns.

Hearing this, Zhang Qian was still a little worried and said to Tang Yi's father: "I'm afraid that the Huns are not all stupid people. Although they are very sympathetic to you on the surface, I'm afraid they are still wary in their hearts. Some people know that you are afraid. You’re trying to gain their sympathy!”

"Then...how about this?"

After hearing Zhang Qian's analysis, Tang Yi's father was a little panicked.After all, he is a Huns, not a pure Han, and is not proficient in the wisdom of the Han.

"There is no need to be anxious, continue to show weakness, win sympathy, and completely dispel their vigilance!"

Zhang Qian waved his hand, telling Tang Yi's father not to worry.Both Erti and Tang Yifu looked at Zhang Qian, waiting for Zhang Qian's next words.

"We are still some distance away from the Huns' royal court. During this period, you continue to use your old tricks to win the trust of the Huns. As for the information about the Huns' royal court and the army, you are not allowed to ask for a word!"

Seeing Er Ti on the side, he immediately became anxious when he heard these words, but Zhang Qian signaled Er Ti not to be anxious, and then continued: "Didn't you tell the Huns just now that your family members were all in Chang'an and were being mistreated by us? "

"Since our identities have been exchanged at this time, you must act proud and even insult Erti and me!"

"This……"

Hearing this, Tang Yi's father hesitated. After all, what he said to the Huns just now was all lies. It was true that he was a Huns, but he had sincerely wanted to join the Han.

Thinking back to the life in Chang'an of the Han Dynasty, and then thinking back to the life on the grassland, there is a world of difference!
As for the eagle and the fierce horse?It’s just a beast’s shortsightedness!
At this time, he heard that Zhang Qian said that he would humiliate Zhang Qian in the future, which was a bit difficult for him to accept.

"Don't worry, no matter what you do, my two brothers don't take it to heart. In fact, they will fully cooperate with you!"

"This... obeys orders!"

Tang Yi's father nodded.

At this time, Erti on the side had time to ask, and asked anxiously: "Brother, isn't our purpose just to get information about the Huns, why don't you let your cousin ask?"

"Before you get the enemy's new recruits, anything that makes the enemy wary will arouse their disgust!"

"Only when you truly gain their trust will they not be wary! Even..."

"...I will take the initiative to tell you this!"
