The dim lights flickered on and off.
In the big tent, the wick in the grease was burning, making crackling sounds from time to time.
It's still dark.
Yi Zhixie was woken up by his servants, saying that it was King Temujin who wanted to see him.
The early morning in the grassland was not exactly cool. The wind from the north blew and the temperature dropped sharply.
Wearing a big cloak.
Yi Zhixie came to the big tent with a displeased look on his face. Looking at Hu Shui who was sitting on the table next to him to relax, he stepped back and asked with a frown.
"What's up?"
After walking to the front desk and sitting down, Yi Zhi looked at Hu Shui with cold eyes.
Hu Shui smiled.
"I came to the Great Chanyu for help."
"Recently, there are not enough cattle, sheep, water and grass in the pasture, so I want to ask the great Chanyu for a place for grazing."
"where?"
Yi Zhi leaned back to make herself more comfortable.
Just a little pasture, nothing more.
"Ju Yanze."
"where?"
Yi Zhixie's eyes widened and she looked at Hu Shui in disbelief.
Hu Shui chuckled.
"Ju Yanze."
"Ridiculous! That's important land there. Do you think I will give it to you?"
Yi Zhi patted the table sideways.
Hu Shui still had a smiling face.
"Da Shanyu, why don't you think about it seriously."
Hu Shui's ease made Yi Zhixie hesitate for a moment, and then he really started to think about it.
Thoughts surged in his mind, and after a long time, he asked with some suspicion.
"What is the next target of the Han army?"
From the first contact with Hu Shui, Yi Zhixie knew that there was an even bigger force hiding behind him.
The target of that force has always been the Han Dynasty, so when Hu Shui came this time, it should be that the Han Dynasty had made new moves.
In an instant, Yi Zhixie was a little moved.
Knowing the movements of the Han army in advance, could he take this opportunity to increase his prestige?
if it is like this.
"King Ju Yanze will personally guard it, so King Temujin won't have to worry about it."
Yi Zhi smiled sideways.
Hu Shui's expression did not change, he still smiled and asked: "Would the Great Chanyu think about it?"
"Didn't Chanyu see any difference in these several conflicts with the Han army?"
Suddenly, the corner of Hu Shui's mouth grinned even wider: "The Han army is no longer the Han army before. They are familiar with the tricks of the grassland, and they even started to use the tricks of the grassland themselves.
And they also have something that Shanyu doesn't have, a sufficient amount of iron, a longer range, and more powerful offensive crossbow. "
"If Da Shanyu is defeated, then this grassland will change hands."
Hu Shui's eyes were full of aggression: "If the Great Chanyu has already thought of giving up his position, how about giving it to me?"
"you!"
Yi Zhixie stood up suddenly and pointed angrily at Hu Shui.
"Hey, hey, don't get excited, the Great Chanyu. You see, in the Han Dynasty, if it hadn't been for me last time, the Great Chanyu would have been defeated. Now, if the Great Chanyu harms a certain master, , Da Shanyu believes it or not, under the siege of the two forces, the grassland people will die and their family will be wiped out."
"You are threatening me!"
Yi Zhixie stared at Hu Shui fiercely.
Hu Shui also stood up, straightened his leather armor, and waved his hand: "This is not a threat to the Great Chanyu, I am just stating a fact."
"The main force of XX is 20,000, plus the warriors from various departments attached to my command. The great Chanyu, XX has an army of tens of thousands.
But what about you, Da Shan Yu? If a certain person rises up, how many grassland kings will risk offending a certain person to respond to the call of the Great Chanyu? "
"Hehe, hahahaha, the Great Chanyu may have forgotten that I am the one who pacified many tribes in the grassland."
Hu Shui's tone was leisurely.
"You should have thought of this a long time ago. You should have thought of this step when you agreed to the master's plan."
"In this grassland now, it's up to a certain person to decide!"
"I'm keeping you just because Chanyu's name is useful."
"Yizhixie, if you still want to keep your Luosa clan enjoying the wealth and honor, then stay in the royal court and enjoy the offerings given to you by the grassland ministries, otherwise"
Hu Shui looked at Yi Zhixie with murderous intent.
"The owner of a certain family doesn't mind using more troublesome methods to unify the grassland!"
Yi Zhixie sat on the couch in a daze.
It's not like he never thought of refuting Hu Shui.
But he found that every word Hu Shui said seemed to be true.
To a certain extent, all the powerful people in the world are the same, and they use the same methods to rule their own territories.
Demonstrate your own prestige and make everyone obey you driven by interests and prestige.
And Hu Shui.
His prestige in the grassland is already very high.
The grassland people he saved during the last attack on the Han Dynasty had already spread the news about his deeds.
The latest battle on the grassland fully demonstrated the combat power of his men.
As for interests
Yi Zhixie thought that Hu Shui had never been stingy since he entered the grassland.
Grain, grass, gold and silver, and rare treasures, the tribes under his command were more or less rewarded, so that more tribes on the grassland knew about Temujin's tribe, but not about him. incline.
".What do you want?"
Subdued.
Yi Zhi surrendered softly.
If the original trend of history is followed, perhaps Yi Zhixie still has the determination to fight Hu Shuiyu to the death.
But it's not.
From the beginning.
Yi Zhi sat sideways on the prairie Chanyu's seat, which was planned step by step by Zhang Qi.
From killing military officials to Shan Yu.
Yi Zhi was leaning on the grassland on the way to the top, and Zhang Qi's shadow was everywhere.
Even if the grassland tribes were later pacified.
It is also Hu Shui's Youyi army that appears most often, not Shan Yu's army.
The smile appeared on Hu Shui's face again.
His tone was relaxed, comforting Yi Zhixie, who was in the first place.
"The Great Chanyu is still the Great Chanyu, sitting and enjoying the fertile pastures around Longting, and all the offerings from the grassland tribes are attributed to Longting. What the Great Chanyu has to pay is just to continue to enjoy himself.
This is not difficult for the Great Chanyu. If the Great Chanyu feels that the Yan family in Longting is not beautiful enough, then his subordinates can also help the Great Chanyu to snare beautiful women from all over the world for the Great Chanyu to enjoy. How about that? ? "
"You don't want grassland?"
Yi Zhixie asked in confusion, maybe asking about his final destination.
"hehe."
Hu Shui walked to the door of the big tent and replied with a smile on his face.
"What's the use of the barren land of the grassland? Our goal has always been the Han Dynasty. As for the use of the grassland."
"Raising horses?"
"Hahaha, I don't know that the best war horses in the world are in a certain Temujin tribe!"
"yes."
Yi Zhixie seemed to be convinced, and sat blankly on the table without saying a word.
Hu Shui glanced at him and walked out of the tent with a smile.
Naturally, he would not really tell Yi Zhixie.
The order given to him by his lord is
"Unify the grasslands and destroy the Huns!"
