To be honest, when the Xiongnu heard that the Han Dynasty intended to negotiate a peace, they were actually a little surprised.

The Huns had dealt with the Central Plains quite a few times. Before the Huns, the Yiqu people were actually closer to the Central Plains. The Yiqu people were once a great threat to the Qin people. As a result, the Qin Dynasty also followed Yiqu at that time. During the negotiation, the Empress Dowager Xuan had two children with King Yiqu directly. Of course, after the final quarrel, the Empress Dowager Xuan didn't care about the former friendship at all, and directly killed this lover.

As a result, Yiqu died, most of them merged into the Qin people, and a small part fled to the grassland, and then still lived a nomadic life. Today, there are still descendants of Yiqu people on the grassland.

But in the headquarters of the Xiongnu, they really did not receive much kindness from the countries in the Central Plains. In fact, the countries that relied on the grasslands, whether it was Zhao, Yan, or Qin, had always adopted a relatively tough policy towards the Xiongnu. policy.

The Huns are not the kind of barbarians who only know how to fight. They also have alliances and betrayals in their lives, like Maodun. He was a proton with the Yuezhi people back then. Of course, he escaped by himself. Otherwise, based on the relationship between the Yuezhi people and the Huns at that time, Maodun would have been killed by the Yuezhi people.

Now that the Han people want to negotiate a peace, the Huns immediately started talking about it.

In the previous battle with the Han people, even the royal family and even a few large tribes did not suffer much damage, but the loss is not only about the apparent battle damage, but also includes other things, for example, Tens of thousands of Huns went out to fight, and the daily consumption of supplies was a very exaggerated figure.Usually, many herdsmen have to suffer from hunger, but when preparing for war, everyone has to let go of their stomachs and eat cheese. For those warriors and nobles, they have to eat meat.

Even though many cities of the Han Dynasty were captured and a lot of food and property were plundered, this was not enough for the Huns. After all, the Han Dynasty had just recovered from the war. It can be said that in order to maintain the activities of the army, The folks just kept enough food to survive, and almost all the others were expropriated as military rations.

Afterwards, various palaces have been being built in Chang'an. Among other things, Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace were just a shelf. Many palaces have not been completed yet, and the construction of these palaces also requires a lot of manpower. In terms of material resources, naturally, the imperial court also requisitioned a lot of food from the north.

If it weren't for the time when the Huns attacked, the autumn harvest had just ended in the north, and they wouldn't even expect to grab much.But before they had time to be happy, the grains began to be consumed in large quantities. When the Huns withdrew their troops, the Huns nobles did some calculations, and finally found out that this expedition did not really bring much benefit. The advantage is that Han Wangxin surrendered to the Huns with his confidants and subordinates, but most of these wealth are still in Han Wangxin's hands, and the others have not benefited much.

For this reason, many people were actually somewhat critical. Some tribes that had lost many soldiers in the Northland even strongly asked Han Wangxin to make up for their losses in the royal court.

As for Han Wangxin, he was also very tough. He knew that if he really agreed, he would be wiped out immediately!In fact, the reason why Han Wangxin surrendered to the Huns that day was nothing more than the promise of the Huns that he could keep his wealth and subordinates. Of course, some things could be shared with the Huns.

They also have a certain understanding of the Xiongnu. In the Xiongnu, pastures, livestock and other wealth are everything. If you lose these, you will be penniless.Han Wangxin was even weaker at the slightest bit, and was devoured immediately like a lamb thrown into a pack of wolves.

As for Mao Dun, he had some ideas, so although many tribes under him were clamoring there, he still calmed down the voices of opposition, and then comforted Han Wangxin, saying that he would never join the party because of this. Sin Han Wangxin.In Mao Dun's view, even if he wanted to annex Han Wangxin's population and wealth, he had to wait until Han Wangxin's use value was squeezed out first.If Han Wangxin is dealt with now, how can anyone be willing to surrender to the Huns when they turn back to the Han Dynasty?

As a result, after the Han Chinese envoys came, Mao Dun was a little moved.

My family knows their own affairs. The environment on the grassland is very harsh. Most of the time, the Huns are fighting against the harsh environment.In fact, when the Xiongnu were in the most embarrassing time, they suffered snowstorms year after year, and a large number of livestock were frozen to death. Coupled with the oppression of the Donghu people, in those years, the Huns did not even dare to have children. After having children, they had to throw them away. In the wild, they cannot survive because their mothers do not have enough milk to feed them.

The Huns have a great demand for warming materials. They don’t have the ability to weave. Even in winter, they still need to maintain a certain amount of outdoor activities. Nowadays, many of these are handed over to slaves, but slaves are also the wealth of the tribe. They were all frozen to death, so the herdsmen had to do all these things by themselves!

In the past, the cloth the Huns snatched from the Han was linen and silk. The silk was naturally enjoyed by the nobles, and part of the linen could also be distributed to the herdsmen at the bottom.But the gap is still very large.And whether it is linen or silk, they are not warm, that is, they are more comfortable to wear next to the body.

The fabrics produced by the Han people today range from the thickest felt blankets to thinner woolen cloth, and woolen clothes. These are better than other materials in terms of warmth, but the problem is, even if The Han people clearly stated that these are made of wool, and the Huns did not know how to make them.

The envoys of the Han people directly stated that they would set up a market outside the Great Wall, and these woolen products would be the mainstream products.When Mao Dun felt a little tempted by this, the Han envoy said that this is conditional, and the Huns must hand over Han Wangxin and his subordinates.

Just as Mao Dun was about to categorically refuse, the envoy brought out other commodities that would be traded in the market. In addition to tea and rhubarb, they even included bronze vessels. After the Xiongnu nobles tried tea and rhubarb , All of a sudden they couldn't sit still.

According to the meaning of the Han people, things like tea and rhubarb only grow in the south of the Central Plains. Even in the Central Plains, the yield is not high, and they can only be used as medicinal materials. That means, if we don’t trade them, you don’t even think about it. People in the Central Plains don’t have much demand for tea rhubarb, because everyone’s staple food is grain, vegetables, not meat and dairy products, and there is no problem in digestion.

The Huns naturally knew this. After all, the number of times they dealt with the south was not one or two days, nor was it a year or two. As for herbs, the Huns also knew some medicine, and the shamans of the Huns also knew some medicine. They would use some herbs on the grassland to heal livestock, but only for some minor ailments.However, when healing humans, it is full of metaphysics. Shamans treat humans, most of the time they worship gods. If they are cured well, they are favored by the gods. .

Nomads have suffered from digestive system disorders since ancient times. After all, their eating habits are really unscientific.As an omnivorous creature, human beings actually have very high nutritional requirements. Insufficient intake of any nutrient elements will cause corresponding problems.Under normal circumstances, the herdsmen at the bottom are starving most of the time, but the nobles at the top, unless it is a disaster year, otherwise, they will not have any shortage of food, which also leads to The aristocrats are almost the group that suffers most from gastrointestinal problems. I don’t know how many nobles died because of gastrointestinal problems, and it was a very painful death.

For them, tea and rhubarb that can help digestion, supplement vitamins and cellulose, and promote intestinal peristalsis are simply gods.

In order to improve their quality of life, let alone handing over Han Wangxin and his subordinates at this moment, they can only agree to other requests.

Mao Dun still wants to continue to take Joe, and wants to get more things, but the Han envoys are also very stubborn. You have fought with our Han army before, and the ones who fought with you before were in the Han Dynasty. It’s not even considered elite over there. After all, we need to keep the elite guarding Guanzhong. In addition, because of the previous years of war in the Central Plains, everyone has already become war-weary, so they are willing to negotiate peace with you. Otherwise, if we really fight Get up, how many people are there in the Huns, and how many people are there in the Central Plains? Let's see who bows first!

For the elites of the Central Plains, Mo Dun really couldn't say anything to refute. Mao Dun also experienced the period of the First Emperor. He wanted to dethrone him wholeheartedly, and appointed his beloved young son as King Zuo Xian, inheriting Shan Yu's position.

And at that time, Hetao was ruled by the Qin people. Mao Dun still remembers that at that time, under the black dragon flag of the Qin Dynasty, the Qin people's army and battle formations killed those tribes and drove them to the ground. escape scene.If the Qin people hadn't voluntarily evacuated Hetao and returned to the Central Plains to quell the rebellion, the Huns could only linger on the grassland now!

Even if he knew from Han Wangxin that the Qin people's Great Wall army had been completely lost in the previous war, Mao Dun didn't believe it, and their equipment and training methods were also lost.

The most important thing is that the Huns are nomads in the final analysis. After the winter, they need to chase the rain and set foot on their nomadic road again. Otherwise, they will starve to death, so they cannot spend too much money. The extra time is spent fighting with the Han people on the Great Wall.Among other things, their livestock alone can turn Munan into a barren land, and the Huns really can't afford it.

The Xiongnu was not a centralized regime, and Shanyu could not be settled with one word. Modu was able to kill Touman Chanyu, and naturally he also won the support of other nobles.At that time, they were not satisfied with Touman Chanyu, because Touman Chanyu lost a lot of land, even Yinshan, and only Modu could lead them to victory. Naturally, they would all support Modu.

And now, similarly, if Mouton refuses to agree with the proposal of the Han people, this will naturally violate the rights and interests of these nobles, and if the rights of these nobles are damaged, they will naturally vote with their feet and change their masters.This is not to mention the possible chain reaction that those nobles may trade with the Han people in private.After weighing it for a while, he finally agreed.

As for Han Wangxin, I'm sorry, who made you unable to pay the price!It hasn't been long since Han Wangxin surrendered, and he didn't show the corresponding value at all. It would be fine if he really helped the Huns to bring down his original kingdom. However, the Huns were almost repeatedly frustrated. The army drove all the way out of the Great Wall, and even lost Mayi. Apart from looting some things, they didn't get any other benefits.

As for Han Wangxin, he was worried that he would be demolished by crossing the river, so he didn't come up with any good things for a while. Under such circumstances, since the price offered by the Han people is relatively high, then if Han Wangxin sells it, he will sell it!As a surrender, you are worthless even to the Huns. The Huns also understand that what is called a non-my race must have a different heart. What they really trust are the few royal families in this department, and other tribes are just The targets of their exploitation, instead of really trusting them and reusing them, they will only find ways to consume them, let alone the Central Plains nobles who surrendered like Han Wangxin?

Therefore, in the end, Han Wangxin and the others didn't know that they were directly betrayed by the Huns until they found out that they were surrounded and controlled by the Huns. They were sold by the Huns to the Han Dynasty for a good price.

Even if Han Wangxin regrets it now, it will be too late!He wanted to actively save himself, but unfortunately, the Huns were no longer interested in the price he offered.
