Let's not talk about what the Jiaoxi King discussed here, and how the relationship between him and his teacher was handled or intensified.
Let us look back at Liu Guang again, oh no, to be precise and specific, it should be towards the capital again.
At this moment, the Xiongnu clan on the periphery of the capital has changed from besieging the capital from all sides to just attacking the capital from a single direction in the south.
The Khan of the Xiongnu clan is still calm, as if everything is under control, but in fact, although the Xiongnu at this moment is not facing absolute death, the current situation is extremely difficult.
Behind him were Sun Sheng's troops who continued to carry out various sneak attacks and harassment against the Huns.
From the southwest, there were reinforcements sent from various palaces with different surnames.
Although these people are not determined to launch any crazy attack on the Huns or protect the capital to the death, they are like mosquitoes, buzzing around you all the time, and it is impossible not to make you feel bored.
This is how the wise kings of the Xiongnu clan feel at this moment.
"Khan, how long are we going to wait here?"
King Zuo Xian led his troops to once again repel the troops that came to aid the capital and then quickly returned, questioning the Khan in a questioning tone.
At this moment, in the eyes of King Zuo Xian, isn't what the Huns are doing now a suicidal charge?
The enemy already has high walls that can be defended, and there is a circle of enemies on the outside that are constantly attacking them. The longer this goes on, the more disadvantageous it will be to them.
In addition, for this trip, they did not prepare any food and grass, but only put the dried beef and mutton in their pockets.
As long as all the stored grain is eaten and they want to attack the city again, they may be afraid that their ruthlessness will be insufficient. Once the ruthlessness is insufficient, it will be difficult to maintain the momentum of the entire army.
If the momentum of the entire army is not guaranteed, timidity and fear will definitely appear. As long as one soldier turns around and runs away, a butterfly effect will occur.
After so many years of fighting, no matter whether it is the Central Plains people or the Huns, in the final analysis, people cannot escape, because people themselves are timid and cowardly in nature.
The Khan remained calm and turned a deaf ear to King Zuo Xian's questions. He just quietly looked at the troops of kings or princes with different surnames who were still gathering behind him and came to aid the capital.
After King Zuo Xian finished asking, he stood respectfully aside. Of course, his expression was still a little anxious and incomprehensible.
I don’t know how long it took before Khan’s voice slowly came over:
"Do you still remember what General Sun promised us during our trip?"
King Zuo Xian was slightly stunned. He actually couldn't remember this promise clearly, but he knew that his Khan decided to send troops to attack the Central Plains.
When the Khan saw that King Zuo Xian had not answered, he knew that he probably did not take this matter to heart at that time. He just felt that the people from the Central Plains should be killed, so he came on horseback with a knife in hand.
"Why do we often go south to the Central Plains and massacre these southerners?"
Khan slowly turned around as he spoke, still maintaining his calm expression and his eyes that could not be seen to the bottom at a glance, like a deep pool.
The moment King Zuo Xian saw these eyes, he felt that all the worries in his heart were dispelled.
"My subordinate has forgotten."
Although he couldn't remember exactly what Sun Sheng promised them back then, he thought for a while and felt that no matter what kind of promise he made, it was still not as important as the lives of his brothers.
So he continued to muster up the courage to speak: "But your Majesty, you must know that no matter what decision we make, as long as it harms the lives of our brothers, no matter how correct the decision is, we must abandon him!"
But she looked at him and smiled, with deep eyes, looking into the distance, and her voice slowly reached his ears like the sound of nature.
"The Central Plains have been fighting with us for thousands of years. When they first built the Great Wall, it was to resist our attacks. If you are a middle-aged man, do you have to do the same?"
King Zuo Xian did not expect that his Khan would actually let him assume that he was a Central Plains person!
Although he deeply looked down on the Central Plains people, a group of bastards in his eyes, after all, it was his own Khan who asked about it, and he had to give a clear answer even if he didn't want to answer.
"No matter how great the sacrifice is, my subordinates will definitely build the Great Wall. After all, these untouchables cannot stop our iron hoof."
But after hearing this, he smiled and patted King Zuo Xian on the shoulder.
"That's why the emperor of that year issued an order that he would complete the construction of the Great Wall even if many people died of exhaustion, because hundreds of thousands of people on the border could exchange for longer-lasting peace. This deal meant that Not worth it?"
Especially the last four words about "not a good deal" were bitten by Khan with great force.
As long as you have a little bit of intelligence and can understand people's words, then the Hun Khan's words have already expressed all the thoughts in his heart.
What is sacrifice?
It is a death that does not help future generations. That is called indiscriminate killing of innocent people and abuse of power.
As long as it is for the sake of future generations of people, who can avoid war and be less bullied by foreigners, then forcing this generation to pay or even sacrifice their lives is a noble thing.
Don't think that an individual's life is supreme. Even pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep have their responsibilities from the day they are born into this world, let alone humans!
The Xiongnu Khan quite knew that since he became this Khan, his mission was to seek greater benefits for the Xiongnu clan, so that the people of their clan could live more happily and with more peace of mind!
The emperors of the Central Plains actually did a lot for the people of the Central Plains.
Especially the emperor who built the Great Wall back then took a devastating blow to them and almost made them move away from Mobei.
Although times have changed and so many years have passed in the blink of an eye, in the heart of the Xiongnu Khan, he still admires the emperor of the Central Plains.
If every generation of emperors from the Central Plains could be like their ancestor, then they, the Xiongnu clan, would probably have become Central Plains people, the Yan Kingdom, and the people of China!
It's a pity that the leaders of the later group of people were as stupid as pigs and dogs, and the people were so stupid that they didn't know how to resist. That's why the Chu Kingdom in the south has repeatedly harassed them, and the north can't resist the attacks of the Xiongnu and Rouran. Awkward situation.
"Our sacrifices are nothing, and our forgetfulness of ourselves is nothing, because there are always people who have to sacrifice before they can enjoy the benefits. Those who only want to enjoy and live by themselves are doomed to be eliminated by the trend of history!"
