In order to make the Huns feel at ease, they went to the west to rob and make money.

The Han government’s strategic deception measures against the Xiongnu didn’t stop there!

For example, Liu Che sent an envoy with great fanfare and brought rich gifts to marry the Xiongnu clan who should be married to China according to the provisions of the Han-Hungarian peace treaty.

The pomp was huge, with as many as a hundred members of the delegation alone.

In addition, there are countless supplies.

Although, they are all luxuries.

For example, whale oil, whale skin, whale baleen, longan incense and other marine specialties.

Another example is Rhubarb, an upstart trade company.

The noble Xiongnu Chan Yuting, who was poor and had only money left, was of course very happy to accept this generous gift.

Since the emperor of the Han Dynasty was so sincere, of course, in order to maintain peace between Han and Huns, the Huns must not be too stingy.

After much deliberation, the Huns finally decided to ennoble the Yan clan who was about to marry into the Han Dynasty as the "Wuwan Yan clan" and give all the land and pastures south of Wuwan Mountain as a dowry.

Although this was part of the peace treaty agreed by Han and Hungary long ago.

But the Huns can publicly announce it, which is interesting enough in itself.

In addition, the dowry members of the 'Karasuma Kan clan' are also similar to the size of her sister Beihai Kan clan.

Three thousand slaves and 20,000 livestock will be married to the Han Dynasty along with the Karasuma family.

As for slaves, the Huns were very cunning, and they all used Han people from various tribes.

But the livestock is real.

In short, now, on the surface, Han and Hungary are really more friendly than brothers and more united than allies.

At the Yunzhong Border Fortress, the Han and Hungarians even conducted a symbolic joint patrol. In fact, each side sent out fifty cavalry, and then formed a patrol cavalry to patrol the border together.

In addition to these measures, Liu Che also approved multiple arms export requests to the Huns.

He even exported the crossbow, which had a range of 500 steps and could penetrate most city walls, to the Xiongnu.

As for desperately selling grain, turning a blind eye to the smuggling practices of those merchants at the border fortress are just minor problems.

In such a friendly atmosphere between Han and Hungary, especially with the glorious victory in the Battle of Mayi as a background, the trade between Han and Hungary has entered into abnormal development since last year.

A large number of Xiongnu tribes and nobles came to the border market with their wealth and livestock.

Then, through bartering, they obtained the specialties of the Han Dynasty that they liked, such as silk, salt, rhubarb, pepper, grain, bronze and other metal products.

There were even Hun nobles who paid for goods directly with gold in the market.

Countless businessmen knelt down in front of the Huns' money.

Iron tools and even weapons that were expressly prohibited from being exported were quietly transported out of the border fortress.

But, as everyone knows, this is exactly what Liu Che wants.

This move is called luring the snake out of its hole.

How happy those merchants are making from Han-Hungarian trade today, how miserable they will cry tomorrow.

Once the all-out war between Han and Hungary breaks out.

These scumbags who have collaborated with the Xiongnu and betrayed the national interests will definitely lose their heads. At least they will have to work as free laborers for the rest of their lives and use their labor to atone for their sins.

And their wealth and land will all be confiscated!

It cannot be said that Liu Che was shameless in this matter.

If those merchants didn't smuggle contraband, nothing would happen.

Since they have smuggled contraband, they are bound to be severely punished by the law.

You must know that these merchants are very aware of the relevant provisions of Han Code and the relevant laws of the country.

Knowing the law and breaking the law will result in an additional penalty!

As for these guys selling the advanced weapons of the Han Dynasty to the Huns, what if they are used by the Huns to attack the Han Dynasty?

Liu Che is not worried about this issue.

Because the scale of these smuggling trades is not big.

It is also impossible for smugglers to have access to the new equipment of the current main force of the Han army.

Even long-established star equipment like the Dahuang Crossbow cannot be exposed to the production, rationing, loss and destruction of the Dahuang Crossbow. All are managed by dedicated personnel, and even if there are fewer parts, they will be held accountable.

What they can sell are those bronze crossbows that have long been on the streets and various obsolete old weapons.

This is doomed that their behavior can only cause a little trouble at best, which is within the range that Liu Che can completely accept.

Compared with this matter, Liu Che was more concerned about another plan he was carrying out secretly.

However, this matter cannot be shared with others.

"The seeds I planted unintentionally could not bear to bear such fruitful fruits..." Liu Che sighed in his heart, feeling sad for the Huns.

………………………………

He lived in Yanze, where the Xiongnu Chanyu Dahu was located.

A group of cavalry passed in front of Shanyu Dazhan.

Adjacent to King Shanyu's tent is the Qionglu where the second force of the Xiongnu Empire lived.

A high-ranking shaman sat on the ground.

The one in the middle had several magical instruments made of human skulls placed in front of him.

The owners of these skulls are all famous past grassland heroes.

There are those from the King of Donghu, as well as from the Yuezhi nobles, and of course, there are also those rebellious ones who once tried to challenge Shan Yu's status.

The Huns killed them, skinned and cramped them, and made them into wine vessels and magical vessels.

The purpose is to suppress and humiliate the souls of these people forever, so that they will never be reincarnated and can only watch the Huns dominate.

Ling, you, their women, whipped their descendants and enslaved their descendants.

At this moment, the entire tent was filled with smoke.

In the rising smoke, a shaman showed an extremely intoxicated expression.

"I saw my ancestors, whispering in my ears..." A shaman suddenly stood up, his eyes bright, and he felt full of power, as if he had returned to his youth.

"The ancestors said that they need the hearts of four babies and the scalps of five women to sacrifice them!" The shaman grabbed the bone chain hanging around his neck and ordered loudly: "Go and do it immediately!"

In the Xiongnu, shamans, especially royal shamans, were basically appointed by old men of the Luotang family.

Their orders are, of course, divine decrees.

Immediately, the cavalry took the order and left.

Just a few slaves!

Then another shaman threw away his crutches and stood up without anyone's support, and started an inexplicable dance in the tent.

While dancing, he also murmured a language that outsiders could not understand or know.

"The Wolf God has appeared!" The priest spread out his hair, then took the knife he carried and cut his cheek open, letting the blood flow, but he said without blinking: "

The Wolf God told me that the Qiang people will rebel!"

One after another, the shamans stood up in the smoke-filled tent, showing the results of their communication with their ancestors or gods.

The words of these people were immediately regarded as divine decrees and implemented.

For the Xiongnu, unless they want to overthrow the rule of Shanyu, no matter what the shamans say, they will be executed.

Because it's May now.

According to Xiongnu tradition, in May, a Tellurin Conference of all tribes will be held.

At the Tellurin Conference, leaders of various tribes from areas controlled by the Xiongnu will appear.

The Chanyu will count the population and livestock of each tribe, reallocate pastures, reward or punish internal tribes, and decide on external wars.

At the same time, this is a time for Shanyu to show his muscles and strength to the tribes.

And shamans are also part of the muscles and strength.

Shanyuting needs shamans to give its rule a sacred cloak from the divine and religious aspects.

Although, the military minister himself played a trick of being ordered by heaven.

But, in the end, the Xiongnu tradition is deeply rooted.

Royal power and divine power are relatively scattered even now.

Chanyu still needed the blessing of divine power to rule his empire.

Only in a corner of Shan Yu's Courtyard, at this moment, the almost forgotten Qi Qu Qi Diao Nan was smiling viciously.

Of course, he was also puffing away the clouds.
