Mythical big man, champion soldier saint

Chapter 276 The barrel of a gun is the last word【Tickets】

In history, it was decades later than the present that the Han Dynasty set up a "Guardian" in the Western Regions.

The Duhu is the highest officer of the Han Dynasty in the Western Regions, equivalent to the "County Captain" in the Han Dynasty.

"Captain" is the deputy of the prefect of a county, in charge of the military.

Its main responsibilities are to guard the border and stabilize the land, coordinate conflicts and disputes among countries in the Western Regions, stop foreign forces, and ensure the smooth flow of the Silk Road.

The "Guardians" sent by the Han Dynasty to the Western Regions governed more than 30 countries east of Dawan and south of Wusun.

From the translator to the top, all levels of supervisors, officials, hundred chiefs, thousand chiefs, Qiqu, householders, generals, ministers, and princes in all countries must wear Han seals and ribbons to confirm that they are officials of the Han Dynasty.

However, in history, countries in the Western Regions maintained self-control and did not reduce their national titles, so there were many rebellions later.

Among them, Yanqi, Qiuci and other countries even sent troops to attack the Duhu Mansion, killed the Han Duhu, and regained their independence.

But the current situation in Chang'an is gathering, and the situation is very different from the history.

In the Battle of Hexi, the Han Dynasty defeated the Xiongnu and deterred the countries in the Western Regions. The process was less expensive than in history and achieved greater results.After the complete surrender of the Western Huns, the emperors, including Huo Qubing, wanted to do more thoroughly and swallow the Western Regions.

Cut down their country names, and do not allow dependent countries to call themselves countries.

From then on, there was only one strong Han, and the Western Regions were all Han people.

And it is necessary to disrupt their regional gathering methods, so that the countries in the Western Regions will lose the basis for independence and self-control.

Of course, things have to be done step by step.

In the evening of Chang'an, the summer breeze is gentle.

Champion Hou's Mansion became the busiest place in Chang'an, full of cars and horses, and numerous guests.

Inside the mansion, Dong Zhongshu, Taichang Zhou Ping, Li Cai and several others came ahead of time and gathered in a side hall of the Hou Mansion.

The Hou Mansion hosted a banquet, and all parties knew the reason.

Those who participated in it are destined to be famous in history with the return of the Western Regions.

Dong Zhongshu and others showed unprecedented enthusiasm.

You must know that the return of the Western Regions to the Han is equivalent to the founding of the country in a sense.

There are so many countries in the Western Regions, and the impact of the population, business and other benefits involved is indeed no less than that of opening up Xinjiang and building another country.

Being able to participate in the process of the return of the Western Regions and gain a share of luck is also of great benefit to practice.

Dong Zhongshu even regretted that he didn't push forward to participate earlier and with all his strength.

Expanding the country for thousands of miles, there is no one in ancient and modern times, except for the emperor, Huo Qubing has the most luck.

What will Huo Qubing get when the Western Regions officially return to Han?
Whenever Dong Zhongshu thinks about it, he feels warm in his heart.

"The countries in the Western Regions can be roughly divided into five regional groups because of their geographical relationship.

Among them, Qiuci, Gumo, Wensu and other countries are located in the center of the Western Regions. Huohou's actions have already made these countries agree to return to Han.The remaining countries can be divided according to the four directions of east, west, north and south.

Right now, the four kingdoms of Yanqi, Wutanzi, Cheshiqian, and Cheshihou, which are located in the north, are relatively important. "

Dong Zhongshu sat in the side hall and expressed his opinion:

"Yanqi, Wu Tanzi, Che Shi connected the front and rear countries, forming a barrier for Wusun. The acquisition of these four countries can strategically contain Wusun. It has no choice but to surrender.

And Wusun is the most powerful country in the Western Regions. If Wusun returns to Han, the rest of the countries will follow, and they will no longer have the qualifications to wait and see. "

Dong Zhongshu glanced at Huo Qubing who was in the main seat: "Huo Hou thinks what I said is right?"

Huo Qubing was dressed in military uniform, and said: "The master is right."

"However, it could be more straightforward.

Without taking practical actions, it will be difficult for the countries in the Western Regions to completely return to the Han. Even if the situation forces them to return to the Han for a while, it will be difficult to find stability after returning to the Han.

Today's banquet is actually a game. The battlefield is in the Western Regions, but the decisive victory is in Chang'an!
With Wusun's national strength, he will not voluntarily surrender.That being the case, you can directly send troops to break it. "

Zhou Ping laughed and said: "Huo Hou's thinking is too simple, not everything must be resolved by force, after all, we will rule the Western Regions in the later stage, and reckless use of weapons now is not conducive to your majesty's rule.

I am a newcomer to the Western Regions, so I still have to explain some truths. "

"Reasonable?"

Huo Qubing said: "It's too often because the Western Regions were once bullied by the Huns. They thought they were weak and thought too well of them. In fact, the countries in the Western Regions used to conquer each other in the past, and there were constant swords. None of them was a kind person."

Zhou Pingdao: "But Your Majesty also hopes to try to persuade these people from the Western Regions?"

Huo Qubing: "Your Majesty said that we should try our best not to use weapons, but at the same time, we should also suppress some of them, using both kindness and force, instead of blindly persuading them to surrender and negotiating with them.

If the Western Regions can be taken back through negotiations alone, why should we keep [-] troops in Yumen and not take them back?
Power comes out of the barrel of a gun, that is the last word, and the rest are false. "

Zhou Ping opened his mouth.

He didn't agree with Huo Qubing's proposal of directly "using violence".

But now the champion Hou is so powerful, and he has single-handedly defeated the Western Regions.Zhou Ping did not dare to refute in public, and turned his eyes to Dong Zhongshu for help.

Dong Zhongshu tasted something, and murmured twice in a low voice that power comes from the barrel of a gun is the last word:

"That's right, our negotiations with the countries of the Western Regions are indeed based on the premise of strong force.

If Huohou hadn't defeated the Xiongnu before, there would never be any lord of the Western Regions who came to Chang'an on his own initiative.

So, Huo Hou has other arrangements? "

Huo Qubing nodded: "It's almost time, people from all over the Western Regions are gathered, let's go out too."

……

Muheche was the envoy of Yanqi Kingdom to Chang'an, one of the 36 countries in the Western Regions.

He was riding in a chariot and had just arrived at the gate of the Champion Hou's Mansion.

Next to him, coming in the same car was Asher, the envoy of Wu Tanzi.

There are also the rulers of Cheshi Qianguo and Houguo.

This time the countries from the Western Regions came to Chang'an as envoys, not all the heads of the country came personally.

Some are dignitaries second only to the sovereign in their respective countries, who can represent the opinion of the sovereign to a certain extent.

Muheche and Asher are two of them.

Yanqi Kingdom, Wutanzi Kingdom, Cheshiqian Kingdom and Cheshihou Kingdom, the four countries are adjacent to each other in the Western Regions.

In the Western Regions, Yanqi's national strength is second only to Wusun and Qiuci, and roughly equal to Gumo, ranking among the top five.

And Yanqi is located in the north of Qiuci, and Pulei, which was defeated by the Han, is just east of Yanqi Kingdom.

Cheshi Qianguo and Cheshihouguo are located between Pulei and Yanqi.

Further north of Yanqi is Wutanzi.

That is to say, Yanqi and Wutanzi are connected in a cross section, located in the east of Wusun, which has a huge border.

If the Han Dynasty wanted to attack Wusun, they would send troops from east to west, or choose to go to Kucha and Gumo first, and then advance north.Either you have to pass through Yanqi and Wutanzi, otherwise you will not be able to threaten Wusun.

Geographically close, let Yanqi envoy Mu Heche, together with Wu Tanzi's envoy Asher, the lord of the front and rear kingdoms of Cheshi.The four of them went together and advanced and retreated together in the matter of descending the Han from the Western Regions.

Mu Heche is nearly fifty years old, short and stocky, with dark skin and deep nasolabial folds on his face, showing his extraordinary determination.

The four of them drove to Champion Hou's Mansion. Before getting out of the car, Mu Heche said to the other three:
"The emperor of Han wanted me to belong to the countries of the Western Regions, but he didn't want to give benefits.

You need to keep in mind that we stand together to make the situation favorable to us, and we must not compromise easily. "

The other three nodded. This is something that was discussed on the way to Han.

"Let's go in first and see the situation."

The four got out of the car and were led into the Hou's mansion by the servants.

The spaciousness of this Hou's mansion is almost comparable to a small town in the Western Regions, and the degree of splendor is unprecedented in the Western Regions, which opened the eyes of several people.

The location of the banquet in the mansion is located in the front hall of the Hou Mansion and the viewing lake area connected to it.

Huo Qubing, as the host, came to the front hall where the banquet was held, and the guests had already arrived [-]% to [-]%.

The palace built with magnificent and thick giant wood as beams has a square shape, the top wall is three feet high from the ground, and the atmosphere is compelling.

At this time, the front hall and the two side halls on the left and right are full of people.

Dong Zhongshu, Zhou Ping, Li Cai and others stepped forward first, and they had already chatted happily with Gumo, Qiuci and other lords who were inclined to vote for Han.

The envoys of various countries, the rulers of the country, and the civil and military officials of the great Han Dynasty also lived in low seats and talked nearby.

"Master Hou."

When Huo Qubing came out, regardless of his origin, hundreds of people in the hall stood up to perform the ceremony at the same time.

After Huo Qubing took the main seat, the others followed suit.

Roshna was wearing a red and yellow skirt, sitting on the lower left of Huo Qubing with bright eyes.

Next to him are the rulers of Qiuci, Gumo, Wensu and other countries in order, roughly in the order of coming to Chang'an.

Roshna can be said to have contributed a lot to the visit of these lords.

She is in the Western Regions, with Kucha as the core, radiating to the surrounding areas, and has the greatest influence on the above-mentioned countries.

Huo Qubing started a conversation with Roshna first:

"Han and the countries of the Western Regions are united. Roshna, you are the original promoter. Your Majesty asked me to convey his gratitude to you."

Roshna smiled and said: "It is our Western Regions that should thank Your Majesty and Huo Hou for driving away the Huns and saving our Western Regions from their suffering."

She was taken aback after she finished speaking, because Huo Qubing actually spoke the language of the Western Regions.

The language of the Western Regions in the Han Dynasty belongs to the Serbian language of the Indo-European language family.

With Huo Qubing's powerful divine sense, he almost has a photographic memory, so it is not difficult to learn a language.

"I don't know when Huo Hou learned the language I use in the Western Regions." Roshna laughed.

We've met a long time ago, it's okay to eavesdrop on your private chat... Huo Qubing smiled:
"Learned for a while."

After that, I turned to the main topic: "You should be very clear about what your majesty means. Since joining the big man is inevitable, the sooner the better. If someone wants to join peacefully in the future, there may not be a chance."

The conversation between Huo Qubing and Roshna attracted everyone's attention.

The envoys from various countries in the Western Regions looked at each other face to face.

"Han Champ Hou's words sound like he's threatening us. If he joins late, will Han use force?"

The one who spoke was sitting opposite Roshna, Huo Qubing's envoy Mu Heche.

After he spoke, Asher, the black envoy on the other side, continued:

"If we don't want to enter the Han, the Han will use force, so what is the difference between the Han and the Huns? How dare we give the lives of the people in our country to the Han?
Think about the Xiongnu, the champion of the big man, you will know that we people in the Western Regions are not a tribe that dare not resist like sheep. "

Asher's words were soft but hard.

Comparing the big Han with the Huns means that the Huns wanted to oppress us, so we cooperated with you Han people and drove the Huns away.

Referring to the Xiongnu, we know that the Western Regions will not allow the Han people to bully them.

The underlying meaning of these words revealed the intentions of Asher, Mu Heche and others, which was to put the Han on the same opposite side as the Xiongnu.

After Asher finished speaking, she looked around, feeling a little complacent.

The Che Shi who was sitting next to him was Qianguo and Houguo, the two kings.

At this time, Xu Mao, the former lord of Che Shi's country, who was tall and thin, also said along with him: "Although our countries in the Western Regions are not as vast as Han in terms of land and resources, they are of one mind and will never be bullied."

Huo Qubing said indifferently: "You let me refer to the Xiongnu, that's a good point.

As far as I know, when the Xiongnu ruled the Western Regions, every year from Cheshi Kingdom, Wu Tanzi demanded your abundant horses, wheat, jujube, grapes, pears, naiziguo, and dried fish (Wu Tanzi, Yanqi They are all adjacent to the river and are rich in fish, one of the main foods eaten by the people is fish).

How many countries are you waiting for? More than half of all kinds of products are taken away by the Xiongnu every year.

And your own citizens starve to death due to lack of food, no less than thousands of people every year. "

Huo Qubing's eyes were like sharp knives, and he stared at Asher and Che Shi Guozhu from the other seat:

"The Xiongnu set up a small team of thirty soldiers in your Cheshiqian country. If any pretty women in your country are seen by these Xiongnu soldiers, they may be raped.

But afterwards you didn't dare to resist. Thirty Xiongnu soldiers crushed your Cheshi country to shame. "

"Let's talk about Ugandazi. In addition to abundant products, your country is rich in BMWs, and the folk customs are martial arts. There are many skilled players. When the Xiongnu ruled the Western Regions, there were often strong Ugandazi counterattacks.

But later the Xiongnu sent troops to wash Ugandazi with blood, and even your Ugandazi king was publicly humiliated by the Huns, and told you Ugandazi, that if the Huns lose one person in your country in the future, you will have to use a hundred people to pay for their lives.

From then on, Wu Tanzi surrendered to the Huns and dared not rebel.

You guys let me compare it to the Xiongnu, because you think that I, a big man, is too gentle with you, Che Shi, Wu Tanzi, right? "

The envoy Asher and the Lord Che Shi were both stunned, who would have expected that Huo Qubing knew their affairs so well.

But they don't know that the Hunxie tribe and the Chieftain tribe surrendered to Huo Qubing.

They have controlled the Western Regions for many years, and they have a clear understanding of the situation in various countries, and they have told Huo Qubing frankly.

After Asher finished speaking, Ben felt somewhat complacent.

At this time, he was with the Lord Che Shi, blushing and ashamed.

The two were dizzy and fidgety after being hit by Huo Qubing's few words.

Huo Qubing glanced at the crowd and said: "Your Majesty asked Mr. Dong and Taichang to negotiate peace with you. I, a big man, have always been very polite. This is the difference between us and the Xiongnu.

If you mistake the gentleness and generosity of my big man as a bully, I will show you the bloody means my Han army used to defeat the Xiongnu. "

Several people are trembling slightly.

Because not long ago, it was Huo Qubing who led the army, defeated the Huns, killed all the Hughus, and broke the prisoners of the Orchid tribes.

Hundreds of people from various countries in the hall were captured by his aura, and suddenly fell silent.

After a while, Yanqi's envoy Mu Heche narrowed his eyes and said, "What Huohou said reminds me of the Huns back then, they also said the same.

I don't know if Huohou has thought about it, I, Yanqi, where is Wu Tanzi connected behind? "

Huo Qubing said softly: "So what if your two countries are connected with Wusun, you want to tell me that you are in a hurry, you want to cooperate with Wusun, dare to fight against my big man?
Say it again with your own mouth and I will listen! "

Ps: ask for votes——
