The Amagari Division, which has just been screened out, may be about to undergo another major purge, and it is not impossible for all members to be replaced.
Qian Shi looked at the spacious office next to him and let out a long sigh.
What's more, Lord Tongzhi is still in prison, and I can't follow in his footsteps.
No, Master Tongzhi should have come out, but he has not received the message yet. He is probably still recovering from his injuries.
In Yuntong County, in a mansion in Zhuangzi, a middle-aged man was lying naked on the bed.
His whole body was covered with scars, his head was drooping, and there were several maids waiting on him.
"Sir, don't worry, we won't let you die."
"Yes, sir, come and have some."
"Sir, if you are not satisfied with us, you can apply to go to the special ward in the prison where professional doctors will treat your injuries."
The middle-aged man was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and his whole body exploded.
"No, no, I won't go. Even if you beat me to death, I won't go to jail. I will definitely work hard in the future!"
Several maids looked at each other, their eyes turning into crescent moons.
Tian Zong and General Gao had also received updated information. After the information showed that the Huns were suspected to have more than two million people, they were also shocked.
Tibetans have heard about it. After all, this is a common phenomenon. There are not many Tibetans hiding in Yuntong County for the time being. In other places, Tibetans have become a common practice.
Who wouldn’t want to hide someone as a sharecropper and not have to pay taxes? This is what landlords do.
It seems that Xia Kingdom only has a population of tens of millions, but what is the actual situation? It will definitely scare people to death if all the people they hide are revealed.
But how could the Huns be so good at hiding people? It's the first time I've seen someone who can hide twice as much.
Yanzhi Mountain, Xiongnu territory, Wangting.
In a huge and luxurious tent, a rich Huns, wearing jeweled gestures, sat at the head.
Different from the Shanyu of the Eastern Xiongnu.
Although the Chanyu of the Western Huns was rich in appearance, his face was fair and he liked to use things from the Central Plains people.
Although there is a faint smell of mutton on the body, it is more of a soap smell.
There are no horn products on the table, but the bronze wine bottles that the nobles of the Central Plains like to use.
After picking up the thin pieces of mutton with chopsticks, he put it into his mouth with a satisfied expression. Next to it was a large pot of tea to soothe his tiredness.
You know, as long as they are nomads on the grassland, they are quite rude when eating and drinking. This is almost the case for slaves and nobles.
An ordinary tribal leader would pick out the meat with a meat knife and stuff it into his mouth.
The chiefs of some small tribes are not particular about it, and they just pick up big pieces of meat and start chewing them.
After eating, they would also smear meat oil on their beards, which is why the prairie people smelled so strongly of mutton.
But this slightly wealthy Chanyu of the Western Huns, from his eating habits to his eating habits, was almost the same as those from the Central Plains.
He was a master of chopsticks. The maids helped him slice various meats and put them on the plate in front of him. He used the chopsticks like a master, no matter how thin the slices were, he could hold them in one go.
At this time, a messenger ran in hurriedly.
"Report, report to Shan Yu~~~~"
Shanyu frowned, and his whole face suddenly darkened.
"Didn't you see me dining? You don't care about etiquette at all, get out!"
The messenger wanted to say something more, but was frightened by Shan Yu's eyes, and walked helplessly outside.
About an hour later, Shanyu finished his meal, snacks, drank half a pot of tea in one go, and then called Shanshan in.
"bump!"
With one palm, the orderly soldier staggered. Chanyu, who had a rich face just now, was now as terrifying as an evil ghost crawling out of hell.
My face was originally asymmetrical, and I grew fat and fat. As soon as my face changed, I changed from Aaron to Brother Long.
He grabbed the messenger tightly with both hands, his eyes full of murderous intent, and the appearance of a soldier just now was like a layer of skin being peeled off, revealing the ugly true appearance underneath.
"Ten thousand cavalry, tell me, they have lost their traces in just a few days and cannot be found on the grassland. It is impossible, absolutely impossible."
"Keep looking for me. If you want to see people alive, you will see corpses if you die. Ten thousand people put on the grassland is nothing, but the eagle flying in the sky will leave traces at the end."
"I don't believe that anyone can kill ten thousand cavalry without making a sound. The leader is my favorite general and the leader of the younger generation."
"Pass my order and send thousands of scouts to search for me carefully. If you can't find it, don't come back."
"roll!"
With a flick of his hand, the messenger was knocked upside down.
The messenger immediately ran out, half crawling and half rolling, for fear of being torn alive by the furious Shanyu.
"Are the Righteous Kings still in the tribe?"
Shan Yu asked his men.
The men dare not neglect.
"The wise kings are still in their own fiefs. The number of cattle and sheep collected today is less than in previous years. I'm afraid it's not enough."
"Hmph, two losers."
"Let him come to me!"
"Yes, Shanyu!"
Not long after, the tent was cleared, and a plain-looking man with a bald head and hair hanging down from his temples walked in.
Shanyu sat upright.
"Any information?"
The man said respectfully.
"Our leader Tuoba wants to form an alliance with the Xia Kingdom, and the Yeli clan leader wants to surrender to the Xia Kingdom and integrate into it."
Shan Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and his chubby face completely lost the rich look just now, replaced by a look full of wisdom and a trace of violence.
"Hahahaha, the Dangxiang clan wants to integrate into the Xia Kingdom? It's just a fantasy."
The informer said calmly.
"It is rumored that a few years ago, a branch of the Yeli clan took refuge in the Xia Kingdom and worked under the Marquis of Wu'an. It is said that their life was pretty good."
The Chanyu glanced at him noncommittally and didn't take it to heart at all.
"How many people are there in the branch of the Yeli clan? How many people are there in the Eighth Branch of the Party? Thousands of people are letting you in, but can hundreds of thousands of people be let in?"
"If a crowd gathers to cause chaos, Marquis Wu An may not even be able to protect himself."
"In addition to the calculations of some thoughtful people, if there is a little bit of news, it will be said that he is colluding with foreign races. I am afraid that if King Xia doesn't want to kill him, someone will force King Xia to kill him!"
"Chan Yuyingming!"
Shanyu nodded with satisfaction, and then revealed his plan.
"You immediately return to the Dangxiang station and do everything I just told you to do. If there is any other latest news, please report it immediately."
"Dear Shanyu, I obey!"
After watching the informer go out, Shan Yu's face instantly turned cold. Even he was a little embarrassed by the disappearance of 10,000 cavalry.
Ten thousand people died in battle, which was no big deal to the Huns.
But the key point is that one of his generals died. Although this person was not very good, he was loyal. Who wouldn't like such a subordinate.
It really doesn't matter if ten thousand cavalrymen died, but there must be an explanation. If there is no words, the people below will be resentful.
"Come here, please inform the wise kings on the left and right to pay close attention to the situation of the eight departments of the party. If there is any change, report it immediately."
Another messenger came in. He didn't say anything. He just handed a sheepskin to Shan Yu and went out immediately.
Opening the parchment, the words on it made Shan Yu's face gradually look ugly.
Because after hearing the news, when the cavalry was dispatched, they had already sent people to find out how many tribes had been wiped out.
Each of the above indicates the death of a large number of people, which are the Xiongnu's own people.
What was the population of the Huns? Shan Yumen is clear.
But the sudden loss of nearly 80,000 people also made Shanyu feel heartbreaking pain.
This is almost a loss of about one level of the entire Xiongnu population. Fortunately, he hid the population and had a trump card. Even so, he was extremely uncomfortable.
His eyes were slightly red and bloodshot, like a gambler who lost a bet. Fortunately, he still had chips.
After three generations of hard work, the Western Huns were obviously smarter than the Eastern Huns.
The countries in the Western Region don't look very strong, but once they unite together, it's no joke.
On the grassland, they can dominate.
But in the desert, it is far behind compared to the grassland.
Especially the Wusun Kingdom. The Huns have always been afraid of them. They have hundreds of thousands of archers. That's no joke.
Once fired, there are hundreds of thousands of arrow feathers. The number of people is small, and they are all dead before they can rush forward.
There are too many people, and they just find a place to defend the city or don't want to play with you. What can you do? The Wusun people have a city, but they don't have many hearts.
Because the Wusun people are also nomadic people, indeed, the number of soldiers is incomparable to that of the Huns.
But if they really want a wave of hard steel, it is impossible for the Huns to defeat the Wusun without paying a price.
Once a war starts with the Wusun people, it will be equivalent to a war with most of the Western Kingdoms. By then, if the Dangxiang people also get involved.
If the tribes conquered by him intervene again, the Western Huns may really be destroyed.
Then if there is a problem, solve the problem, or solve the person who caused the problem for you.
Therefore, the Huns tried their best to conquer the Dangxiang people.
Unfortunately, it seems that the wrong person was selected.
Dangxiang people have relatively hard bones and a very high sense of identity with their own nation.
There was no response for a long time, and even the noble women who had married in the past were ignored by the heads of various tribes.
This time, the Xiongnu planned to trick the Dangxiang people severely, but they did not expect that whether they were forcing them too hard, the Dangxiang people actually wanted to join Daxia.
This is something that Shan Yu absolutely cannot tolerate. For the Xia Kingdom with more than 300,000 people, it doesn't matter. Who cares about this small population.
But for the Huns, this is more than 300,000 people. After eating them all, their strength will definitely increase dramatically.
In fact, Chanyu had long felt that the party members were already in his possession.
What made Shanyu most unhappy was.
In the past, Liao State had no interest in the Western Regions at all, and even less interest in the Hexi Corridor.
But who knows, such a sterile place was actually taken over by Xia Guo.
When Xia Kingdom settled in, the situation changed.
After three generations and decades of planning, it only took a few years to open up trade in the Xia Kingdom, and all the efforts of three generations of Chanyu were wasted.
As the Chanyu of the Western Huns, his mind is obviously much better than that of the Chanyu of the Eastern Huns.
