The great man will live forever

Chapter 58 Shanyu is furious

Mobei Royal Court,

"what?"

When the Xiongnu Chanyu Yi Zhixie heard that Huo Qubing and Liu Han defeated King Hunxie and Queen Xiutu again, he stood up from the throne angrily.

His health has been much better recently, and the feathered crown on his head is trembling, indicating that he is very, very angry.

"Aren't they stupid pigs? They were defeated by a Han Dynasty general who was less than 20 years old in the same place and in the same way. He was beaten to the ground twice. Twice. Don't they feel ashamed? They still deserve to do it. Am I the king of the great Huns? Am I worthy to be a subject of the Kunlun God?"

The Xiongnu Chanyu Yi Zhixie was so excited as he spoke that he was pointing at the sky and the earth with his fingers.

The loss of the Hexi Corridor meant that the Xiongnu lost an important strategic location and resources, and its political and military impact would be huge.

The Hexi Corridor is an important passage connecting the Central Plains and the Western Regions. Controlling this area means that the Xiongnu can effectively carry out trade, personnel movement and military activities.

If I lose Qilian Mountain, my animals will not live; if I lose Yanzhi Mountain, my married woman will have no color.

This sentence is not about a rap song, but the actual reality they face.

"What's the use of such a stupid pig? Ah, tell me, what's the use?"

Xin Zhao, who was standing in front of him, spoke, "I think if the Hexi battlefield continues to develop like this, it will only be a matter of time before the entire Hexi Corridor is lost."

"I also want to learn from the emperor of the Han Dynasty, who has clear rewards and punishments."

Xin Zhao knew Han Wu very well, "The emperor of the Han Dynasty never spared the generals who lost the battle."

"Boom!"

The Xiongnu Chan Yu Yi Zhixie finally made up his mind. He put his golden staff on the ground and shouted: "Send an envoy to the Hexi Corridor to summon King Hunxie and King Xiutu back to the royal court to report their duties. Go quickly. "

"Yes!"

But he didn’t know that this order would completely ruin the Hexi Corridor.

Therefore, as soon as Huo Qubing and Liu Han's summer offensive ended, Yi Zhixie sent people to the Hexi Corridor to invite King Hunxie and King Xiutu to a banquet in the royal court.

The Xiongnu usually held a small gathering at the court of Shan Yu in the first month, and mainly invited the leader of the Zuo tribe, that is, the tribe of King Zuo Xian.In May, the Dragon City General Assembly mainly invites the leaders of the Xiongnu headquarters.

These tribes in the Hexi Corridor usually only participated in the conferences of King Youxian. In the past few years, Wei Qing defeated King Youxian, which caused a great loss in his strength. Therefore, King Hunxie and King Xiutu gradually lost control of him.

Seeing that various tribes in the Hexi Corridor have gradually broken away from the control of King Youxian in recent years, Yi Zhixie Shanyu prepared to take advantage of the opportunity and leave, with the purpose of unifying the three tribes of the Xiongnu.

King Hunxie knew that this was the Hongmen Banquet, he suffered a defeat, and even lost the Chanyu's younger brother Rixi, so the Xiongnu Chanyu Yizhixie would probably not get around him.

One person's life is a small matter, and the entire tribe may die from then on.

King Xiutu didn't want to go to the royal court. After all, the golden man offering sacrifices to the sky was taken away by the Han army in his hands. He also suffered a defeat. The two of them were evenly matched.

Of course, there is another important reason. They did suffer heavy losses and had no way to resist the Xiongnu Chanyu.

Huo Qubing and Liu Han attacked the Hexi Corridor twice, causing the Huns to lose more than [-] cavalry in the Hexi Corridor. They were all elites. They also surrendered many tribes. They lost almost half of their troops. This was definitely a crippling injury.

Specifically, within King Hunxie's sphere of influence, the Zhelan tribe, the Luhou tribe, and the Jiqie tribe perished, and the chief Tu tribe, the Shanhuan tribe, and the Hu Yuqi tribe were also severely weakened.

The situation for King Xiutu, a chicken thief, was better, but not optimistic either. The Chu Pu tribe perished, and the golden man given to King Xiutu by Shanyu to offer sacrifices to heaven was taken away by Huo Qubing.

These Xiongnu tribes in the Hexi Corridor must provide cattle, sheep and horses for King Youxian every year, and they must send troops to follow them when they go on an expedition, but they cannot get an inch of the territory they conquered.

In recent years, Hunxie and Xiutu led the tribes in the Hexi Corridor and tried their best to reduce the control of the Xiongnu's right wing. Their ultimate goal was to imitate Wusun and rule the territory as king, without being controlled by King Youxian.

This goal was almost achieved, but unfortunately, the Han army's two battles in Hexi made all their efforts in vain.

Now they have almost no way to go. If they return to the royal court, they will most likely be killed and the tribe will be annexed. It may be better for King Xiutu to return. On the one hand, he has a close relationship with Yi Zhixie Shanyu, and his losses this time are not clear. The evil king is big.

After thinking about it, King Hunxie gritted his teeth and called his confidants to praise him, "Come here, like this..."

"Yes!"

"Be careful and don't let anyone find out."

"Yes."

So, King Hunxie's envoy Baosiga took a dozen of his confidants to the border of the Han Dynasty. He was extremely cautious. When he saw a Han carriage passing by the border, he immediately sent people to catch them. "Run quickly, the Huns are coming."

The people on the carriage immediately got off and fled in all directions.
"stop."

"stop!"

The Huns soldiers did not shoot arrows, but just rode horses. Within a short time, they surrounded a Han man wearing a green gown. He was shocked.

"Shan Yu, please spare me!"

"Chanyu, spare your life!"

He was dragged by the Huns soldiers, his legs were weak and he was shouting.

"Spare your life, spare your life, don't kill me, wuwu, don't kill me..."

He was just about to wet his pants, so King Hunxie's envoy Bao Ciga stepped forward, pulled him by the collar, and tried his best to force out a seemingly amiable smile.

"Don't be afraid. I am the envoy of the Huns. I want to see the emperor of the Han Dynasty. Can you take me to meet the officials of the Han Dynasty?"

Of course Bao Ciga, the envoy of King Hunxie, did not dare to go directly to the Han Dynasty officials. He was afraid of being chopped down, so he could only use this method.

"Well, this is for you."

King Hunxie's envoy Bao Ci said as he took out a tael of gold from his arms and put it into the man's hand. At this time, the man was in shock and took the gold tremblingly.

"it is good!"

So, he brought Bao Ciga, the envoy of King Hunxie, to the checkpoint of the Han Dynasty.

"Stop, what are you doing?"

The soldiers stopped them, and the man shouted, "We want to see the general."

Daxingling was called Dianke in the early pre-Qin Dynasty and controlled all the ethnic minorities who surrendered.In the sixth year of Emperor Jing's reign, it was renamed Daxingling; in the first year of Emperor Wu's reign, it was renamed Dahonglu, and its official name was changed to Daxingling.

Simply put, he is equivalent to the Minister of Foreign Affairs in later generations.

Not long after, they were received by the general order.

"whats the matter?"

Bao Cika, the envoy of King Hunxie, shouted, "I am Bao Cika, the envoy of King Hunxie. I have something big to do and I want to see your emperor."

"What? Meeting the emperor? King Hunxie?"

The big man did not dare to neglect the big orders, so he immediately sent people to take him to Chang'an.

In the Weiyang Palace, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was sitting on the throne, a little confused.
"King Hunxie? What did he want to do by sending the envoy?"

"Your Majesty, the Western Xiongnu in the Hexi Corridor have collapsed. He sent envoys to surrender to our Han Dynasty."

"Surrender?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's expression remained unchanged, neither sad nor happy.

"Your Majesty, the troops of King Hunxie and King Xiutu were attacked one after another by our hussar generals and suffered heavy losses. The Xiongnu Chanyu was very angry and sent envoys to summon King Hunxie and King Xiutu to return to the royal court to report their duties.

It was said that it was a report of duty, but it was probably to ask for guilt, kill the two of them, and annex their tribe. The two of them felt bad, and they could not defeat the Xiongnu Chanyu, so they had no choice but to ask for the protection of our big men.Your Majesty, do you want to see the envoy in person?Listen to what he has to say. "

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty waved his hand and refused, "I'm not busy."

He didn't quite believe that King Hunxie would surrender just like that.

After thinking for a few seconds, he asked: "How many people are there in total between King Hunxie and King Xiutu?"

"Men, women, and children, said to be hundreds of thousands."

"In this case, call the hussar generals to see me immediately, as well as the general Wei Qing."

"promise!"

Seemingly thinking of something, he continued: "By the way, Liu Han should also be summoned."
