Chapter 93 The Southern Huns committed crimes ([-]) Pigeons, as Liu Han's secret weapon for transmitting intelligence, have not yet been deployed on a large scale. First, there are not enough people to train them, and second, there are not enough pigeons, so the intelligence is only transmitted among senior officers.
When Liu Han left Luoyang, he not only took away the Hu merchant, but also specifically ordered Zhang He to take away the Hu merchant from Chang'an, and placed the two of them in Bingzhou, and gave each of them a small official.
The Hu merchant in Luoyang was called Dorbis Bemba, and the Hu merchant in Chang'an was called Purius Fayed. Most people really can't remember these two names. Liu Han gave them the Chinese name "Qian Duoduo" (Dor Bisi Bemba) and "not much money" (Pulius Fayed), and appointed them as Taipu Cheng and pigeon training envoys at the same time.
This made the two Hu merchants overjoyed. The Han Dynasty was originally a country that emphasized agriculture and suppressed business. The status of merchants in the Han Dynasty was low. Therefore, as Hu merchants, they would not have traveled across mountains and rivers to come here if it were not for the priceless treasures of the Han Dynasty.
Unexpectedly, because of raising pigeons, he would be favored by the Han Emperor's younger brother, King Hejian, and his life would change from an ordinary Hu merchant to a Han official.
Although the official position is not high, he is still an official!
What's more, he is an official of the Han Dynasty!
Only those who have traveled to so many countries know that these countries are like ants in front of the Han Dynasty. Even if he is given the throne of his own country in exchange for the official position of the Han Dynasty, he will not exchange it! Isn’t it just raising pigeons and training pigeons? keep!Training! Not only do we need to raise and train pigeons, but we also need to train more people who can raise pigeons! Now that they have official status, in order not to burden them in the early stage, Liu Han gave each of them 50 people. Whoever can train these 50 people into pigeon training masters first will also be rewarded.
This made the two people who were originally unwilling to deal with it even more anxious.
As a Hu Shang, once he experienced the changes in power and status, his sense of collective integration was faster than that of a prisoner of is the best elixir for men, and barbarians are no exception.
The prince's reward is definitely not that simple.
"Promotion!"
This is the first thought in their minds. If they can make great achievements in the future, they might even be able to obtain a title. This is the most gorgeous transformation. Even if they were born as foreigners, who would dare to look down on themselves again! Suddenly, Qian Duoduo and Qian Buduo both felt tight in the back, feeling inexplicably stimulated and excited, their faces flushed. It felt like they were going to a romantic place in Han to indulge in tenderness and indulge in it. Inextricable roll! Roll hard! Fuck you to death! The two of them are not dealing with each other. If you train 50 people in two months, then I will only sleep for two hours a day and train 50 people in one and a half months. "When I get promoted, I will crush you to death. I will crush you to death." It makes you shameless to occupy the latrine and not take a shit."
The nature of the businessman is clearly revealed at this moment. As long as there is an unimaginably generous reward, the businessman can do anything.
In order to ensure that the information would not be leaked, Liu Han proposed the method of "secret book", which is to arrange and combine some words on silk and bind them into a book. Then, for easy query, Liu Han created his own abbreviations for the numbers "0", " 1","2"."9"
One page has nine rows and nine columns, with 81 words.
For example: 0111 It means the first row and first column of the first page.
Therefore, there is a special group in the army responsible for writing translations, which is directly subordinate to the commander-in-chief.
The silk in Liu Han's hand was a coded message from Duan Jiong, the prefect of Xihe County, which had been translated: The Huns of the South raped and massacred the Han people and massacred the villages.
"Haha, interesting, another one looking for trouble."
Liu Han handed the information to everyone.
In the past, this matter would not have been a big deal, because there was a threat from Xianbei in the north of the Han Dynasty. In order to prevent the southern Xiongnu from colluding with the Xianbei, the imperial court had always adopted a appeasement strategy towards the southern Xiongnu. This also made the southern Xiongnu people in Xihe County was lawless, and rape and robbery were common among the Han people. The successive generals who protected the Huns, the governor of Xihe, and even the governor of Bingzhou would turn a blind eye. As long as the Southern Huns did not cause too much trouble, they would give some verbal warnings.
However, with last year's battle to the north, Liu Han led his army to successfully cripple Xianbei, and the threat from the north weakened. In addition, Liu Han was promoted to the governor of Bingzhou this year and gradually regained control of Bingzhou, so he would not be so polite to the southern Xiongnu.
Don’t the Southern Huns know this?The Southern Huns are barbaric, but not stupid.
The current Chanyu of the Southern Xiongnu was named Qiang Qu. In the autumn of July of the second year of Guanghe's reign (179), the Xiongnu Zhonglang general Zhang Xiu captured and beheaded the original Shanyu Huwei (Huyan) without authorization, and established Qiang Qu as the Chanyu.
In the territory of the Han Dynasty, especially under the new governor of Bingzhou, King Hejian, why would he do such unthinkable things? "My lord, as far as I know, the Southern Xiongnu Chanyu is not that kind of stupid person."
Jushou got the information sent by Duan Jiong and read it several times before finally saying this.
"Try?"
Dong Zhao spoke.
There are currently four great counselors under Liu Han, each with their own outstanding points. Xi Zhicai focuses on military affairs (battles), Ju Shou focuses on strategy, Tian Feng focuses on official administration, and Dong Zhao focuses on politics.
"What do Gongren (Dong Zhao) think?"
"My lord, everyone," Dong Zhao stood up and saluted, "I think this is a test of my lord by the Shanyu Qiangqu of the Southern Xiongnu."
"Oh? Talk about it."
"Everyone knows that the Southern Xiongnu have always been entrenched in Xihe County. Last year they were at peace with our army. Now my Lord has been promoted to Bingzhou Governor, and the governor of Xihe County has been replaced by General Duan. It is clear that he does not have much goodwill towards the Southern Xiongnu.
Therefore, their move is a bit like a test of the Lord's too much.
If the lord is still the same as the previous governors, downplaying the matter as a trivial matter and verbally reprimanding him, then the Southern Xiongnu must know that the lord is still afraid of his alliance with Xianbei and will act in the future. If the lord raises an army to investigate, they only need to hand over the murderers, and at most they can give some apology and get over it. After all, this involves diplomatic relations. "
Dong Zhao didn't say the rest, but everyone already understood.
"Huh, a test? I don't think it's a test, it's more like a demonstration. He not only killed the Han people, but also slapped me in the face. If I make this matter a trivial matter, what will the people under Bingzhou think? What do the Han people think? In our territory of the Han Dynasty, there are actually foreigners who are blatantly massacring the people of the Han Dynasty. How brave! "
Liu Han vented his anger and then calmed down, "Oh, since you want to play, then I will play with you."
When everyone in the audience saw Liu Han's expression, they all knew that the Southern Huns would shed their skins even if they didn't die, because the last time they saw them, they went south in Xianbei, and then Xianbei was crippled.
"Approximately how many warriors are there in the Southern Huns?"
"There is no specific number. If we include ordinary warriors who can fight, there will be at least [-]. If we include those old and young who can fight, it will be estimated to be [-]."
"One hundred thousand."
Liu Han thought to himself: "This is not a small amount, you have to think about it carefully."
