The sky is clear, the fields are vast, and the grass is blown by the wind, and cattle and sheep can be seen low.
Yi Zhixie, King of Zuo Guli of the Xiongnu, sat on the grass covered with excrement, looking at the cattle and sheep of his tribe in trance.
His eyes were full of confusion, the kind that couldn't see the way forward.
"Why is this happening?"
Yi Zhixie couldn't understand why Shanyu, the military minister, was greatly damaged in strength, but he couldn't defeat him.
When Yu Shan died in battle, almost the entire army of King Zuo Xian was annihilated within the territory of the Han family.
The royal court directly under the military minister Chanyu also suffered heavy losses.
Yi Zhixie saw hope, the hope of regaining his position as the Great Chanyu.
Before the old Shangdan Yu died, he had intended for Yi Zhixie to take over as the Great Danyu.
It's just that Yi Zhixie was too young at the time, and the military ministers were too strong, so he had to lose his position as the Great Chanyu in pain.
Now that he finally had the opportunity, Yi Zhixie contacted a group of people and immediately raised the flag of rebellion.
I originally thought that I could easily defeat the greatly weakened military officials, but I didn't expect that the military officials quickly transferred reinforcements from Mobei and the Western Regions, and at the same time persuaded King Youxian and other powerful tribes to continue to support him.
After that, it was Yi Zhixie's turn to be beaten violently.
In desperation, Yi Zhixie had no choice but to send someone to Dahan for help.
Because he once heard those Han people who fled said that their lips were dying and their teeth were cold.
I thought that the Emperor of Han Dynasty would help me, but unexpectedly, instead of finding help, I was severely humiliated by the Emperor of Han Dynasty.
The so-called aid that could fit into a large truck was a slap in the face.
After vowing to take revenge, Yi Zhixie became filled with despair.
Not to mention seeking revenge against the Emperor of the Han family, he can't even defeat the military officials now.
"Your Majesty~~~"
Yi Zhixie, who was sitting on the grass in a daze, saw his slave and ran over in a hurry, "A Han caravan is coming, saying they want to see the king."
Yi Zhi stroked his prickly beard sideways, stood up and walked towards his royal tent.
The proper dignity was still indispensable. After the scene was set, Yi Zhixie called the people from the Han family's caravan to come over.
"Huh? Female?"
When Yi Zhixie saw that the leader was actually a woman, she couldn't help but burst out in surprise.
On the prairie, women's status was very low. They were basically accessories, more valuable than cattle and sheep.
It was natural, with a look of disdain on his face.
Yi Zhixie, who was dissatisfied, waved his hand and was about to drive the person out.
Unexpectedly, the woman directly said, "Your Majesty, I am here to help you become a great chanyu."
These words made Yi Zhixie laugh. "I have countless warriors under my command, but no one dares to say such words. You, a Han girl, are quite courageous, and you dare to talk nonsense in front of me."
"Whether you are talking nonsense or not, just listen to it." The woman said with a smile on her face. "If the king is still dissatisfied after listening to it, just kill him directly."
"Um."
Yi Zhixie narrowed her eyes noncommittally, "Tell me, how do you want to put me on the throne of the Great Chanyu."
"May I ask your Majesty." The woman stepped forward, saluted and said, "Does the military minister Shan Yu have an outstanding son?"
"His sons are all useless." Yi Zhixie said with disdain on his face, "Even Yu Shan is just a mediocre person. Now that Yu Shan is dead, how can there be any outstanding sons."
"That's the case." The woman's smile became even brighter. "Why does your Majesty use assassins? As long as you can get rid of the military minister Shanyu, if there is no qualified heir, it will naturally fall apart, and your Majesty will be able to clean up the country."
"That's easy to say."
Yi Zhi snorted and said, "There are many guards around the military officials. Even if a certain warrior sends a warrior, there is no chance to get close. How can there be an opportunity to assassinate."
"I heard that the king is proficient in Chinese studies, but when I saw him today, I was very disappointed."
The woman said proudly, "Assassinations do not rely solely on warriors."
At this time, Yi Zhixie finally became somewhat interested. He leaned forward and asked curiously, "Is there any way you can kill the military officials?"
Yi Zhixie had naturally thought about assassinating military officials and thus leaving the royal court without a leader.
But the problem is, how can it be so easy to assassinate Da Shanyu?
"There is a doctor's holy hand under his command." The woman reached out and took out a small porcelain bottle from her sleeve. "This is the poison refined by the doctor's holy hand. It is colorless and tasteless. Just add a few drops to the wine and drink it, and the medicine will not save you." .”
"Poison."
Yi Zhi rubbed his chin sideways, "Poisoning is not an easy thing to do."
"It's easy." The woman said very simply, "I am the master of the Han family. I can sacrifice myself in the name of serving the great chanyu. On the bed, in the midst of love, is the best time to poison."
"Master Han?"
Yi Zhixie stood up in surprise, "Who are you?"
"The daughter of King Huainan, Liu Ling."
After deceiving Liu Ci, Liu Ling quickly left Hengshan Kingdom with his retainers and the belongings obtained from Liu Ci.
She was very lucky. After leaving Hengshan Kingdom, Gongsun Ao's army came over.
Taking the letters found from the palace of Huainan King Liu An, he asked Liu Ci what he wanted.
Liu Ci was frightened, seeing that he had no chance to fight even if he wanted to fight, and finally committed suicide by taking poison in his palace.
Liu Ci, the king of Hengshan, was naturally convicted of being an accomplice to the king of Huainan and was eventually expelled from the country.
Liu Ling, on the other hand, went all the way north, and finally got rid of Ju Meng's Xiuyi Guards who were chasing him, and successfully escaped outside the Great Wall.
She originally planned to seek refuge with the military minister Chanyu. After all, he was the great Chanyu, the most powerful person outside the Great Wall.
But her disciples tried to persuade her, saying, "The military ministers are old and hard to control." The owner has nothing but a few possessions. Even if he takes refuge in the past, he may not be taken seriously. If you don't have the right to speak, revenge will be far away.
. On the contrary, King Zuo Guli, Yizhixie, was young and energetic but at a low ebb. At this time, taking the initiative to provide help in times of need will naturally have miraculous effects. '
If you want to find a backer, you must naturally find one worth investing in.
The demand for Liu Ling among the military officials was not high. On the contrary, Yizhixie was very hungry for talents.
After careful consideration, Liu Ling decided to accept this suggestion, and this was how he met.
Yi Zhixie was not stupid. After the initial surprise, he immediately asked, "What do you want?"
A Han family master took the initiative to work for himself. He is still the kind who risks his life. He doesn't believe that there are such good people in the world who don't ask for anything in return. They must be asking for themselves.
Sure enough, Liu Ling smiled sadly and told the story of King Huainan.
Finally, he said, "I just want revenge. As long as the king is willing to avenge me, then I can increase the king's strength, contact the Han family's informants, and assassinate Shan Yu."
Yi Zhixie looked at Liu Ling carefully. After being silent for a while, he asked, "What other informants do you have in Dahan?"
"The Emperor of the Han Dynasty wanted to cut down the vassal, and he ruthlessly killed my father and uncle Wang one after another. Such cruel methods naturally made the kings secretly frightened and wary. Since I am the lord of the Han Dynasty, I naturally have a way to communicate with the kings. Get in touch. Wait until the king raises an army.
, which can be approximated as a boost. "
There is no invincible fortress in the world, and even a strong fortress can be breached from within.
When the Seven Kings Rebellion broke out in the Han Dynasty, the Huns were plundering the Western Regions. When they got the news and hurriedly prepared to take advantage of the situation, all the anti-kings of the Han Dynasty were quickly defeated.
This matter has always been regretted by the Xiongnu nobles.
What a great opportunity to be missed like this.
Now that such an opportunity appeared in front of him, Yi Zhixie's expression became even more solemn.
He nodded and continued to ask, "Anything to increase my strength."
"Your Majesty." Liu Lingjiao smiled, "What do you lack?"
"What's missing? Naturally, it's a lack of iron tools, a lack of food, a lack of cloth and silk. I'm short of all the good stuff."
Speaking of this, Yi Zhixie couldn't help but feel jealous of the powerful emperor.
The Han people were so rich that they had everything they wanted, unlike the Huns, who had nothing but cattle and sheep.
"I can also contribute at this time."
Liu Ling's smile became even brighter: "Everything that the king lacks is available at the big man's place. The best way is to grab it."
Hearing this, Yi Zhixiao sneered.
Needless to say, if you can rob it, who wouldn’t want to rob it?
But Han'er was treacherous. Once the Huns entered the country, they immediately gathered all the people and property into the city. The towering and strong city wall cannot be broken, so naturally nothing can be grabbed.
"If you can't get it, you can still buy it."
"The Emperor of the Han Dynasty has issued a strict order, and I am not allowed to sell anything I want."
Yi Zhixie felt that this woman was not as capable as he thought, and all she said was useless nonsense.
"Your Majesty, you don't know, merchants pursue profit. As long as the price is right, those merchants will naturally be willing to risk beheading to do smuggling business." Liu Ling said softly, "Even if it is iron, you can get as much as you want. It depends. Is the king willing to pay the price?
. "
"Huh?" Yi Zhi raised an eyebrow, "Do you have any connections?"
"It's natural." Liu Ling responded with a smile, "My retainer has acquaintances in Youbeiping. As long as there is enough treasure and gold, there will naturally be people there who will find a way to deliver what the king needs to the grassland."
Yi Zhixie finally smiled. He held Liu Ling's hand and asked, "How do you plan to assassinate the military officials?"
"Of course I'm going to serve in the name of fleeing." Liu Ling raised Yi Zhixie's rough hand and gently rubbed it on his delicate face. "If you recommend yourself to the pillow mat then, you will naturally have the opportunity to make a move. By the way, the king is here. Is there anyone in Shanyu's court? Don't let it go
After I succeeded, I couldn't run away. "
"It's natural."
Yi Zhixie simply stepped forward and took Liu Ling into his arms, "You are so capable, so naturally I will not give up easily. Don't worry, when things are done, you will be my Yan family! When all the ministries are sorted out, Reorganize your troops and send them south to avenge you.
! "
He didn't lie. If Liu Ling didn't have the ability to contact the kings and arrange for the smuggling merchants, he would have been sacrificed naturally.
But since Liu Ling still has great use, of course she must be kept and given corresponding status and power.
This is the way to use people when working with them.
Liu Ling, whose face was flushed, fell into Yi Zhixie's arms, and his breathing gradually became faster. "Your Majesty, come and love your Yan family!"
