Eight hundred and eighty-fourth chapter and relative determination (1)(1/2)
Qi Qie Diao couldn't walk into Shan Yu's tent. He almost immediately abandoned his previous mentality, knelt on the ground, and worshiped in the most humble manner: "Great Plough Gutu, your slave is back.
Already..."
The other Hun nobles immediately focused their attention on him.
In fact, he shouldered the mission of making peace with the Han Dynasty.
If they failed, it would mean that the Western Expedition was no longer possible for the Xiongnu.
It was simply impossible for the Xiongnu Empire to risk losing the entire Mu'nan and invest heavily in the Western Expedition.
At least 100,000 horsemen will have to stay in Munan to guard against Han Dynasty raids.
When the military officials saw Qi Qu Qi Diao Nan, they immediately smiled and said, "My slave, tell me, how did the Emperor of the Han Dynasty reply to this Chanyu?"
Qi Qu Qie Diao Nan bowed his head three times and said: "The great supporter Gu Tu, my servant saw the Emperor of the Han Dynasty in Chang'an. The servant said to the Emperor of the Han Dynasty: Youxian Wang Yin Zhixie did not invite you, and gave him a false leaflet to kill the two masters.
We made an agreement to leave the relationship between brothers. Now that King Youxian has been punished for his crime, he is willing to renew the peace, put aside the past, renew the old agreement, cease the war and raise horses, so that peace can be restored between the Han and Hungarian countries. Between the border fortresses, chickens
Dogs hear each other, and people live in peace, so that young people can grow up and old people can live in peace. May your Majesty learn from this!"
The military minister who said these words was very happy.
Why?
After the Han-Hungarian War in Henan, this was how Shanyu sent envoys to reconcile with Taizong of the Han Dynasty.
In the Battle of Mayi, the Xiongnu suffered an unprecedented defeat and suffered heavy losses. Shan Yuting almost lost his face.
But now, in the Han Dynasty, Qi Qu Qie Diao Nan used language and the art of diplomacy to help the Xiongnu win back the victory.
At least it saved the day in terms of face.
It's not just about telling the Han Dynasty about the victory or defeat, but it's actually nothing.
At that time, eight years after the Battle of Henan, the old superior Shanyu personally commanded 140,000 cavalry and went south. They came to Xiaoguan, burned their way back to the central palace, captured Chaonese, and destroyed the entire northern Han Dynasty.
It created the greatest victory and glory for the Xiongnu in the history of the Han-Hungarian war, and established the basis of the relationship between the two countries: the Xiongnu is the elder brother, and the Han Dynasty is the younger brother.
By the same token, the Battle of Mayi was actually just the same thing compared to the defeat of Henan.
In the Battle of Henan, the Huns lost all their power within the Great Wall.
The Han army pushed back hundreds of miles to establish Yunzhong County and penetrated deep into the Hetao grassland, so that Chang'an was no longer exposed to the direct threat of the Huns' cavalry.
At the same time, it also gave the military officials an excuse.
This Shanyu will take revenge on Mayi after eight years.
No matter whether I can get revenge after eight years.
At the very least, shout out the slogan first and then say it.
As for what to do then?
Of course you can pretend not to remember!
However, the military officials actually knew this kind of talk and could only be happy for a while.
What really determined the future of Han and Hungary was the Han emperor's reply.
The military minister then asked eagerly: "How will the emperor of the Han Dynasty reply?"
"Return to support the plow alone..." Qiqu Qediaonan already had a complete draft of his questions and answers to the military ministers, and even his own words.
These drafts not only contained parts that he had thought up, but also included parts that the Emperor of the Han Dynasty ordered his attendants to help supplement.
The whole process was seamless and flawless!
At this moment, Qi Qu Qie Diao Nan started talking according to the script he had planned.
It was nothing more than the arrogance of the Han emperors and ministers who showed him the captured Xiongnu weapons and battle flags.
And how did he show off his tricks? In front of the Han Dynasty emperors and ministers, he described the power of the Huns cavalry, which is nothing more than, "Your Majesty, you defeated only a small part of the Huns cavalry. The Huns still have ten times the strength."
Out of friendship between the two countries, Shanyu restrained his subordinates and did not retaliate.'
Through language arts and intimidation like this, he also "quietly contacted Beihai's family, and Beihai's family stated their strong relationship with the Han Dynasty emperor, and finally made the Han Dynasty emperor change his mind."
In order to enhance his persuasiveness, he even plagiarized the story of Maodun Shanyu and Chen Ping that was circulated in the Han Dynasty.
He vividly described to the military officials and other Xiongnu nobles how the Beihai Yan family persuaded the Han emperor according to his words.
"The Xiongnu is also a country protected by the gods of heaven and earth. The Xiongnu Chanyu also has divine help. Your Majesty will look into it..."
It's a confusing description to listen to.
The military minister immediately became elated. These words, every word, spoke to his heart and scratched his itch.
It is said that "the Xiongnu chanyu also has divine help" and the emperor of the Han Dynasty recognized this statement, so he agreed to the marriage.
Doesn't this indirectly acknowledge his status?
The eyes of the military ministers looking at Qie Qu Qie Di became pitiful.
What a slave!
He has completed such a difficult task and such an arduous mission!
Well, Beihai Yanshi is not bad either!
It’s not in vain that he, the father, gave birth to and raised her for fifteen years!
You know, what the military ministers need most now is such recognition from the Emperor of the Han Dynasty.
Whether formal or informal, he desperately needs this kind of affirmation.
Otherwise, without the endorsement of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, he would not be able to invite ancestors and gods to come down to earth. What if someone wants him to prove himself at the Tellurium Conference in May next year?
What is even more frightening is that what the military officials are really worried about is once the fact that he, a Chanyu, has not been blessed by his ancestors and gods becomes known to everyone.
A terrible disaster will occur.
Think about it.
Just like in later generations, if only **** has mushrooms in his hand, but Midi does not.
So what should Midi do?
Today, the same is true for the story of the magic stick between the Han and Hungarians.
After the emperor of the Han Dynasty proved that he indeed had divine help, as another overlord, the Xiongnu Chanyu also had to prove that he had divine help no matter what method or means he used.
Otherwise, one side has it and the other side doesn't.
In this world before the Christian era, is this game still necessary?
Just those lower-class herdsmen and slaves within the Xiongnu who were superstitious about gods and worshiped gods.
I'm afraid that as soon as the Han army arrived, they would immediately kneel down to greet the 'sacred soldiers of the divine king'.
Even if the Han army is not dispatched, there will be tribes who will cross the Great Wall to pay homage to the 'God King', lie at the feet of the 'God King' and shout, "Great Majesty, please accept my humble offering."
…”
This is not a worry, it is a reality.
Since ancient times, all nomadic empires have been empires based on bloody cruelty and religious superstition.
They plundered and conquered foreign countries to feed and win over the nobles in the tribe, and then used religious superstition to strengthen their control over the lower-class slaves and herdsmen to make them obedient.
This is also the inherent flaw of the nomadic empire.
They cannot and cannot establish a ruling system like the Chinese dynasty.
Religious superstition can only be used to anesthetize and deceive lower-class slaves and herdsmen.
Because of this, the Yellow Sect of later generations would have such a status among the Mongolian people.
Living Buddhas live such a free and comfortable life.
Originally, this system did not have many loopholes.
However, the Huns never expected that the opposite Han Dynasty would have a cheating emperor, claiming that he had received divine revelations and oracles.
He also proved his divine revelation and oracle.
This is tantamount to publicly proving the existence of God in front of the whole world.
The Xiongnu believed in shamanism. For shamanism, even if the emperor of the Han Dynasty became a god, even if a stone became a god, they would kneel down and lick it.
If the military officials cannot cope with it, they cannot prove themselves.
Then, it is very likely that the herdsmen, slaves and even nobles below would all run over and kneel at his feet as soon as the Han emperor greeted him.
no way!
How can man possibly fight against God?
What if the gods get angry and punish everyone by sending down ice disasters, locust plagues, plagues, or even volcanic eruptions?
Didn’t you see that in the past year or so, many tribes close to the Han Dynasty’s frontier fortresses have deserted Shan Yuting, and some even quietly went to the Great Wall to express their loyalty to the Han Dynasty, or even became a leader?
Even big tribes like Kunxie and Xiutu have wavered in their stance.
To be continued...
