1491st section deep sea 1(1/2)
When autumn came, the Huns in Muhakusei entered their final moment of madness.
King Zuoxian, Hu Lushe, visited the entire pasture near Tianshan Mountain within half a month.
A large amount of fodder and supplies have been prepared.
However, Hu Lushe still had deep fears in his heart.
"Are there any reports on the envoys sent to the Western Regions?" Hu Lushe asked a Han man next to him, dressed in fine clothes. This is a talent he got this year!
It is said that he was once a servant of the emperor of the Han Dynasty. He served the emperor of the Han Dynasty for several years. Because of a small mistake, he was punished by the emperor and was sent to Yulinsai as a border citizen.
Even so, this person is still loyal.
Hu Lushe sent nobles to Hetao and Munan to bribe and win over the literati and officials of the Han Dynasty. They tried several times to persuade and use coercion and inducement, but they could not succeed.
He was still loyal to the emperor.
Until the end, this man offended the Yulin captain at Yulin fortress and had to flee to the grasslands and come to the Huns.
Even so, one of the conditions he promised to serve him was that he would never participate in any planning or policy against the Han Dynasty.
This would have been ten years ago, when the Huns were at their peak and suppressing the world.
Such pretentious Han people have long been shackled by the nobles below and used as breeding machines.
But today, the Huns are weak and even divided.
Every bit of strength is precious!
What's more, after this Han man came to Hu Lushe, he immediately showed miraculous effects.
Not only in management and organization, he is a genius that Hu Lushe has seen in his life.
Near the Tianshan Mountains, the Xiongnu Hedgehogs gathered together twenty or thirty tribes with more than 100,000 people.
In the past, the Huns could not coordinate so many people living in such a small area, but under this person's organization and planning, the Huns could calmly arrange and coordinate the conflicts of interests and contradictions between various tribes.
What's even more exaggerated is that this person is also good at analyzing situations.
He had only been in the Xiongnu for three months, but he was already able to analyze the situation and problems in the Xiongnu in a clear and logical manner, leaving Hu Lushe dumbfounded.
"Such a talent has never been heard of by the Xiongnu..." Hu Lushe sighed in his heart: "Only in the Han Dynasty could such a person appear!"
After experiencing disastrous defeats at the Battle of Mayi, the Battle of Gaoque and the Battle of Yanji, the energy and spirit of the Xiongnu were almost wiped out by the Han army.
Once upon a time, the Xiongnu cavalry showed off their power and power at the foot of the Great Wall. They did not take the Han Dynasty and the Han army seriously, thinking that they were the best in the world.
But now, the situation has completely reversed.
The Xiongnu nobles, who were driven into despair and fear, were completely overwhelmed by the Han Dynasty and its culture, institutions and institutions.
From the Chan Yu down to the herdsmen, they all kept saying, "It must be Sinicized. If not, the Xiongnu will perish!"
One by one, the descendants of the Jintang family began to learn the food and dining habits of the Han Dynasty people.
If the nomads had not lived and died on horseback, they would probably even wear long robes with wide sleeves - in fact, several high-ranking nobles have already passed down China's dark clothes and ordinary clothes.
Shanyu Guli Lake is even more exaggerated. Last month, he ordered craftsmen to build himself a crown modeled on Guan Liu, the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
In order to demonstrate his authority and status, or in order to anesthetize himself, Juli Lake ordered the craftsmen to make the crown with thirteen rows of beads - this is because the emperor of the Han Dynasty had twelve rows of beads...
But Hu Lushe hated this situation deeply and was extremely disgusted.
Because he discovered that at some point, the nobles in the royal court began to move closer to the Han Dynasty.
The writing must be from the Han Dynasty, the combat methods and training methods must be learned from the Han Dynasty, and even the food and daily life must be the same as that of the Han Dynasty nobles in Chang'an City.
The first two are understandable, and Hu Lushe even supports them.
The Xiongnu had no writing, no laws, no organization, and no systematic training and combat methods.
Fighting depends entirely on experience and talent. Elite tribes, such as Xuhu Cavalry and Zhelan Cavalry, exist with outstanding talents and tacit cooperation. Even in their heyday when they were rampant in the world, they did not talk about tactics and organization.
Everything depends on the freedom of expression on the spot.
The miscellaneous tribes were in chaos.
They can fight with the wind and wave the flag and shout.
If you really want to fight the main force of the Han army, you can beat these scum with a single charge and make them cry for their father and mother, only wishing that their parents didn't have four legs.
And those so-called aces and elites who were once praised to the sky are just like paper, failing one after another.
Starting from the Battle of Mayi, the Han Dynasty began to adopt new tactics and new combat modes.
There is close cooperation between the various arms, with crossbowmen, infantry, and cavalry alternately covering each other.
Their battles are like art, dizzying and shocking.
In comparison, the so-called elite tactics of the Huns are as ridiculous as the kid riding a sheep on the grassland trying to shoot a vulture with a wooden bow.
Therefore, after experiencing the hardships of the Han army's fighting methods in the Battle of Yanji, Hu Lushe dreamed of training and cultivating a similar army.
But even the diet, daily life and even living habits must be fully studied from the Han Dynasty, which is a bit too much.
Hu Lushe even doubted that if he really played like this, would the Huns still be Huns in a few decades?
Isn’t it a branch of the Han Dynasty wearing a Xiongnu vest?
If this were the case, why would the Huns still struggle? They might as well surrender.
The emperor of the Han Dynasty probably would not be too harsh and reproachful.
Maybe, you guys can still live a comfortable life in Chang'an City!
Thinking of this, Hu Lushe had to shake his head inwardly.
"King Zuo Xian, the envoy from the Western Regions has not returned yet..." The Han man rode a horse and said to Hu Lushe: "However, I think it should only be a day or two..."
This person's voice brought Hu Lushe back to reality.
He held on to his saddle - the saddle made by the Huns was obviously much inferior to the saddle of the Han Dynasty, especially in terms of comfort.
The saddles of the Han Dynasty had no convexity and would not hurt the thighs.
However, the saddles made by the Huns had various awkwardnesses and often bruised the sides of the thighs.
In order to prevent this kind of injury, the saddle needs to be adjusted from time to time.
It's not that Hu Lushe doesn't have those exquisite Han-made saddles - in fact, he even has a set of saddles used by Han Dynasty captains.
But he was unwilling to use those creations of the Han Dynasty.
He preferred to use a saddle made by the Huns - albeit a crude one.
Because he is King Zuoxian, he needs to tell every Xiongnu noble and cavalry who sees him that there is still hope for the great Xiongnu. As long as he lives, the Xiongnu will not bow to the Han Dynasty!
"Tell me immediately when the envoy from the Western Regions comes back..." Hu Lushe turned around and smiled, pretending to be casual, and suddenly asked: "By the way, Mr. Yang, I heard that there was a collection of books in the Martial Garden of the Han Dynasty.
It’s called the Book of Lihe, and it was written by Zhou Yafu, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, Li Ji, the Marquis of Zhou Dynasty, and Yi Zong, the General of Chariots and Cavalry?”
After hearing this, 'Mr. Yang' nodded with a smile and said: "There is indeed such a book..."
Hearing this, Hu Lushe's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
He has coveted this Han Dynasty military book for a long, long time.
Before the Battle of Yanji, he had heard of the name of this book. Almost all evidence showed that it was a masterpiece that the strongest generals of the Han Dynasty put together their lifelong efforts and military experience.
It is said that even in the Han Dynasty, those who had access to this book had to be at least a cavalry general above the rank of captain of the field regiment!
Moreover, it also required personal recommendation and permission from a highly respected figure in the Han Dynasty before being allowed to contact him.
It is said that every famous general of the Han Dynasty must have a book on his bedside and bookcase. They would read and study every day to absorb nutrients from the book.
Hu Lushe is going crazy because he wants this book!
Especially after the Battle of Yanji allowed him to witness the tactics of the Han Dynasty's cavalry, his emphasis on this book increased to the point where he would do whatever it takes!
Unfortunately, as of today, he doesn't even know what the book looks like, how many words it has, or how many articles it contains.
Even though he once offered a reward of three thousand gold, he could not buy even a single word of that book.
But the Han Dynasty man next to him once served as the servant of the Han Dynasty emperor, serving the emperor in his daily life.
Hu Lushe had reason to believe that this person had read it and at least knew the contents of this book.
But he did not dare to force him to question him, let alone coerce him into confessing the contents of the book.
Because he knew that if he dared to do that, then with the personality that this person has always displayed, he would definitely rather die than obey, or even die together.
Hu Lushe both loved and respected this stubborn, intelligent and courageous Han Dynasty man.
Because there has never been such a person on the grassland.
Furthermore, Hu Lushe could not do without this person's assistance.
Without his help, Hu Lushe even doubted that he might not be able to control so many tribes and the contradictions and conflicts among their respective tribes.
Therefore, he could only make insinuations and subtlety, hoping to influence the Han Dynasty man and make him his loyal minister.
If he could get him to return to his heart, Hu Lushe was convinced that with the help of this person in the future, he would be able to revive the Huns.
Even if they cannot regain their homeland, they can still coexist with the Han Dynasty.
To be continued...
