[Red Mansion] Let's listen to a general's order

"37 years ago, the four tribes of the Xiongnu gathered 15 troops and raided our Great Zhou Dynasty. Anxi Duhufu and Beiting Duhufu were destroyed one after another. The casualties of our Dazhou people reached 3 people, and the loss of gold, silver and property One hundred thousand. Fortunately, General Yipin, British Duke Li Chengen personally led [-] elites to defeat the Allied Forces of the Four Races in one fell swoop, maimed the Allied Forces of Xianbei and Turks, beheaded the previous Xiongnu Shan Yu Uwei, and captured the former King of Rouran Brahman, the son of that man." Feng Zizhi's voice changed, and he suddenly started talking about history.

Although Li Chengen did not stay as an official, Emperor Wen of Zhou still named him a first-rank general and British Duke in recognition of his achievements.

Niu Jizong, Ran Feng, Li Mingzhu, and Lin Han all looked at Li Lian after hearing the words. They naturally knew that besides the former scholar Wang Yi, their leader also had an extremely mysterious master named Li Chengen who had never met before. They never expected to be so fierce!

"It's been almost 40 years since these things happened. Will General Li Chengen show up to lead us to fight?" Ran Feng asked impatiently.

"Don't worry." Feng Zizhi said in a calm and unhurried manner, "After the Brahmin, the son of the former King of Rouran, Anaguan, was captured, my teacher Wang Yi suggested to the Supreme Emperor, and he didn't release the Brahmin immediately after Rouran retreated. Instead, he was brought to the capital for three years. The Supreme Emperor sent Wen Huaiyuan, the minister of rites, to teach him how to study and learn etiquette, and he also found a few gentle women for the Brahmans to take care of him very considerately."

On the one hand, there is the subtle and silent brainwashing education of Confucianism, and on the other hand, the nephrite jade and gentle fragrance of beauty.

In just three years, the Brahmins have been transformed from the inside out into authentic people from the Zhou Dynasty who couldn't be more authentic!

The eyes of Li Lian and the other five gradually brightened.

"Actually, when Rouran was attacked by Hu Hanxie, the Brahmins sent people to ask for help from the Great Zhou Dynasty. However, due to the long distance, you were pacifying Xiyi at that time. Therefore, I suggested to the emperor to order the Brahmins to lie Surrender to Hu Hanxie, and turn against him at the critical moment."

One couldn't help it, and Niu Jizong's devilish laughter sounded again, "Wow ha ha ha! That is, there is a second-five boy ambushing among the enemies, telling us from time to time, and stabbing them in the back! Yannian is really cunning! This kind of conspiracy You are the only one who can think of it, otherwise I would only know how to pick up a big axe and chop him!"

Twenty chapters of "Eastern Zhou Dynasty Chronicles": "Xian Gong has two lucky doctors: Liang Wu and Dongguan Yan Wu, and he and Xian Gong listened to foreign affairs, coercing favors and gaining power. Jin people call it "Two Five"" To put it simply, during the Spring and Autumn Period of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, there were two great officials in the state of Jin named Liang Wu and Dongguan Yanwu, and the Chinese called them "Two Five", and these two men murdered Prince Shensheng for Li Ji, so Er Wu became a traitor, a sycophant, Short for traitor.

The corners of Feng Zizhi's eyes twitched, as calm as he was.

The words are good words, translated in a polite language, it is nothing more than "Yannian is really resourceful and resourceful, this plan is great! I really admire it." and so on.However, when Niu Jizong said these words, Feng Zizhi really wanted to smash Niu Jizong's face with the wine glass in his hand, give him a icy palm, and walk away...

If the Brahmin Khan in Rouran heard that Niu Jizong had slandered him like this, he might not immediately turn his back on him, turn his gun around, and help the Xiongnu deal with the Great Zhou Dynasty. It would be considered as the "Wen Huaiyuan" of the Minister of Rites during the three years he stayed in the capital. "Brainwashing" is awesome!

Niu Jizong laughed wildly and said: "According to me, what kind of strategy do you want!? Send troops directly, crush all the tribes in the grassland, and expand the territory first. Don't you see that Lao Tzu, Lao Ran and Lao Lin are already hungry and thirsty. I'm drinking the blood of barbarians!!!"

Everyone selectively ignored Niu Jizong's words.

Lin Han asked: "Then why can't we directly unite with Rouran to attack the Xiongnu?" Even though Feng Zizhi pointed out that Rouran was an internal response, he still didn't say the reason why he couldn't provoke the war first.

"Firstly, it will take time to assemble the army and prepare food, grass and weapons; secondly, although the Brahmins are willing to send troops, Rouran's geographical location does not allow it."

Li Lian muttered: "The Turks occupy Bieshabali (now Jimsar, Xinjiang), Xianbei lives in the Raole River (now Xilamulun River) valley, and the Huns are the most powerful, across the Altai Mountains in the west and around Lake Baikal in the north. Rouran lived in Erdenet, with the Turks in front, the Huns in the back, and the Xianbei next to it.”

Niu Jizong and the others frowned. In such a geographical location, it is already thankful that Rouran was not destroyed. God opened his eyes.

"There was a marriage between the Huns and the Turks, and the two tribes have long been on the same page. Xianbei and Rouran are on good terms, but the king of Xianbei, Tuoba Yihuai, is a villain. If Rouran can't bring him benefits, he He will definitely be the first to attack Rouran." Feng Zizhi commented.

Li Lian analyzed: "Right now, Hu Hanxie has attracted 70 troops to station at the border. If we march into the grassland first, Hu Hanxie will summon the Turkic, Xianbei, and Rouran tribes to send troops. Hu Hanxie directly sent troops to destroy us. On the grassland, Hu Hanxie took the initiative. And if Hu Hanxie took the lead in attacking Yanmen, the soldiers and horses of the four tribes would naturally gather outside Yanmen Pass, each guarding one side. At that time, Rouran With the cooperation of a clan, the enemy is open and we are secretly, and night raids and sneak attacks on the Huns' rear area are not a problem." In the final analysis, it is a matter of initiative.

Li Lian said it so clearly, Niu Jizong and others naturally nodded repeatedly.

Li Mingzhu asked thoughtfully: "Then... how to ruthlessly reject Hu Hanxie's marriage proposal?" She was annoyed that Hu Hanxie used her as a note, so she had to think of the most decisive method.

As soon as this remark came out, Niu Jizong and Ran Feng immediately laughed strangely.

"Let's first ask the emperor to do this..." Niu Jizong said enthusiastically.

Ran Feng also added: "In addition, you can also send someone..."

Hearing that, Li Mingzhu's eyes sparkled.

Niu Jizong and Ran Feng, these two bastards, are honest and straightforward on the surface, but they are such wild and unrestrained people with a human face and a beast heart... No... Both of them have a beast face, and they will be called a beast duo in the future!

Li Lian, Feng Zizhi, and Lin Han became more frightened as they listened. The three of them looked at each other, feeling shuddering and their hairs standing on end. They couldn't help feeling sorry for Hu Hanxie for a second.

post house

"Your Majesty, the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty has already been moved by the discussion of marriage this morning." A middle-aged man who was clearly of authentic Han nationality said respectfully.

"Yan Heng, you've done a good job." Hu Hanxie lowered his head slightly, and ordered: "Fox Luyi, let those Zhou officials we bribed step up to persuade the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, and also send someone to send a message to Zhou Guiren, calling She blows the pillow breeze."

A relatively thin Hun hurriedly responded, "Yes."

Hu Hanxie's bribery of Zhou officials was very simple and rude, but very effective.

For those who are rich, he spares no expense in gold, silver and jewelry; for those who are lustful, all kinds of exotic beauties are offered.Both of the above are not good, so I desperately dug out their black materials, forced them to do a few small things for the Huns, and controlled their families by the way, and then added carrots with big sticks, and gave them gold, silver, jewelry, and foreign beauties. .A two-pronged approach forced them to submit.

As for Mrs. Zhou, she was originally the daughter of a horse merchant, she was born in a beautiful country, and her father took care of her and sent her to the palace.Since entering the palace, she has been favored and rewarded continuously.The emperor Ai Wuji Wuxia, and named his father as the Shaoqing of the fourth-rank Taipu Temple. It is true that one person attains the Tao, and the dog ascends to heaven.In view of this, she is also a thorn in the eyes of many concubines in the palace.However, Zhou Guiren's father and daughter are actually Hu Hanxie.

Zhou's father was not an idle businessman, otherwise he would not have had the opportunity to contact the Xiongnu Da Shanyu.

To be able to contact the Xiongnu Da Shanyu as a Zhou merchant must be a merchant who has already traded many times and gained trust.

Think about it from another angle, what kind of businessman can trade with Hu Hanxie, the king of the grassland who has unified the entire grassland?

"Zuo Zhuan Chenggong 13th Year" says: "The major events of the country are sacrifices and military affairs."

Sacrifice is sacrifice, and Rong is war.

Then, it’s not hard to imagine what the deal between Zhou’s father and Hu Hanxie was—not the ritual utensils needed to worship the gods and ancestors, such as food utensils, jade utensils, musical instruments, etc., it must be items related to war, such as Pig iron, leather, and even bows and weapons.

According to the "Law of the Great Zhou": No matter from land or sea, anyone who smuggled horses, cattle, military supplies, and iron goods out of foreign countries for sale and into the sea, regardless of the amount of smuggling, will be executed!The three clans ransacked their homes and exiled them according to the theory of not reporting crimes after knowing the facts.

Engaging in this smuggling of ironware is a serious crime of beheading, which will harm the three clans.

Although the risks are too high, there will never be fewer people who are blinded by profit, and Father Zhou is one of them.

Hu Hanxie had Zhou's father in his hand, so it was easy for him to manipulate Zhou's father and daughter to do things for him.

The middle-aged man from the Zhou Dynasty named Yan Heng flattered him: "Your Majesty is wise."

He flattered him and said, "My lord, the Supreme Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty loves Princess Mingzhu very much, and the servant is worried that even if the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty agrees to the marriage, there will be a change of fate on the side of the Supreme Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty!"

"In this case, how can you solve it?" Hu Hanxie frowned greatly, he didn't have many people who could talk to the Taishang Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty.

"According to my slave's humble opinion, the person who tied the bell has to be untied. In the end, I'm afraid it still depends on the wishes of Princess Mingzhu!" Yan Heng nodded and bowed.

"Well, what you said makes sense." Hu Hanxie patted him with satisfaction.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the beating!" Yan Heng flattered obediently.

"Haha! Reward!" Hu Hanxie laughed, but a look of contempt flashed in his eyes.

Hu Luyi next to him was full of disdain.

This Yan Heng is an authentic Han. Although he was not born in the imperial examination, but relying on his flattering skills, good popularity, and a little bit of luck, he was actually appointed as the lowest-ranking chief of the Great Zhou Military Department. Taste.

He can be regarded as the most loyal and loyal official of the Zhou Dynasty "recruited" by Hu Hanxie. He is simply a natural traitor.

"My lord, the eunuch from the Zhou Dynasty came outside, and he brought a group of eunuchs with him!" Wu Ligun came in to report.

Hu Hanxie raised his eyebrows: "Oh? But the one named Feng?"

"It's him!" Uri Gun said in a stern voice.

Wu Ligun, who has been following Hu Hanxie, is well aware of how miserable Feng Zizhi has caused the Xiongnu these years.

The Huns respected the strong, so although Wu Ligun didn't do anything, he was merciful and didn't call Feng Zizhi an eunuch, but a eunuch.

"Then... the king, the slave will leave first." Yan Heng said with a panic in his eyes.

"En." Hu Hanxie agreed, after all, Yan Heng is a dark child who cannot see the light.

Yan Heng hurriedly sat in a wooden barrel on a wooden cart responsible for carrying vegetables outside the room, and the servants who had already been bribed covered the wooden lid, and slowly pushed it to the side door.

Seeing that Yan Heng hid and left, Hu Hanxie walked out with his hands behind his hands, and he was going to see what kind of tricks that Factory Master Feng wanted to play!

In the outer courtyard, there were more than a dozen burly Huns with serious and tense expressions, as if they were facing a big enemy, watching a beautiful back with vigilant eyes.

This Mr. Feng is really a model of beauty and poison, he is simply a proper beauty snake!

Although they only saw him once at the palace banquet last night, in the past ten years, the dark men sent by his subordinates have been making troubles on the grassland—using time, infiltrating, buying, instigating, sabotaging, assassinating, secretly forming alliances, doing everything. If you don't use extremes, you will cause troubles in the grassland, causing people's hearts to panic, people's restlessness, and everyone's life.If it weren't for the king (Hu Hanxie) who was the son of destiny, with all hearts attached to him, and his clever tactics to resolve or suppress, I am afraid that the grassland would have already fallen into chaos and cannibalism.

Feng Zizhi faced the Huns with his back behind his back and his hands behind his back. He was dressed in a sky-blue palace robe with a jade belt around his waist, making him look extremely glamorous.

Hu Hanxie noticed this scene and signaled his subordinates to ignore him.

He looked at the back of this figure that he hated deeply, and stepped forward silently.

The right palm slowly extended towards Feng Zizhi's neck from behind.

I "missed" and killed an eunuch, but for the sake of the 70 troops on the border, the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty would not touch him easily, at most he just refused the marriage.Compared with Feng Zizhi, Princess Mingzhu, Tiance's martial arts, and Tiance's formation are all worthless.

Asking to marry Princess Mingzhu and wanting to obtain the martial arts and formations of Tiance Mansion is nothing more than hoping to reduce the casualties of the clansmen.Hu Hanxie is confident that if he fights hard, his 70 troops will definitely not be in vain, and will definitely be able to unify the Central Plains and achieve an unprecedented hegemony!However, Feng Zizhi's strength lies in his insight into people's hearts, his deep scheming, and his ability to provoke civil strife in the grassland without a single soldier, which is hard to guard against.

If such a person can't be used by him, then he should die!

Over the years, he had also sent people to assassinate Feng Zizhi many times, but looking at Feng Zizhi's unscathed appearance, he knew that all of them failed.There is information sent back to the Xiongnu that Feng Zizhi, although weak in appearance, has deep internal strength in his body, and he is a practicing family.Some gossip even pointed out that Feng Zizhi had killed more than a dozen martial arts masters to protect the Supreme Emperor and Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty when the Zhou Dynasty palace was changed.

Seeing his hand getting closer to Feng Zizhi's neck, a gleam of light flashed in Hu Hanxie's eyes, and he restrained his killing intent more and more.

However, at the next moment, a cold hand of Bai Zhe backhanded the pulse gate of Hu Hanxie's right hand halfway.

Hu Hanxie only felt a sliver of cold internal force soaking into his wrist, freezing his meridians, as if dozens of small knives were stabbing randomly.

"I heard magpies chirping early this morning. It turned out that Mr. Feng Chang came to this post station, which really made the courtyard flourish!" After talking to Da Zhou for so long, Hu Hanxie learned a few words of grandeur if.

He tried his best to speak these few words smoothly, without showing any pain.

"It turned out to be Da Shanyu, how come Da Shanyu didn't make a sound when he walked! It really scared our family!" Feng Zizhi smiled half-smile, and didn't let go of Hu Hanxie's hand, intending to let him go again It hurts for a while.

Hu Hanxie forced a smile: "It's not that seeing the factory owner, he was happy alone, walked briskly, and wanted to pat the factory owner on the shoulder."

"I don't think the factory owner is so vigilant." He tilted his head and motioned Feng Zizhi to clasp his hand.

okay!You've got the lottery, it's time to let go.

Feng Zizhi let go of his hand lightly, took out a clean white silk handkerchief, and slowly wiped his hand that had touched Hu Hanxie.

"Our family must always be on guard. Someone who doesn't have good eyesight may try to kill our family at any time." His tone was soft, with a rising end, which seemed to have deep meaning.

Hu Hanxie's face froze for a moment, then he said with a nonchalant smile: "The factory owner is worrying too much."

Feng Zizhi smiled without saying a word.

Hu Hanxie continued to talk with him on the surface, and secretly used the Qiulong Jue, so that the yang energy dissolved the cold air in the meridian of the right hand.

Feng Zizhi asked seriously: "By the way, just now I heard from Da Shanyu that there was a magpie chirping this morning, but I don't know when the magpie chirped?"

Hu Hanxie's smile froze, and even the internal force that was running in his body stopped.Are you making trouble?This is clearly learned from the polite words of you Zhou Dynasty people, I don't believe you don't know!And when was it called?Did it on purpose? ?

He casually said an hour, "It's about Si hour ([-]:[-]-[-]:[-])!"

"Hehe! At this time, the magpie is chirping, the Lord has a happy event, and the door is overjoyed. As expected!"

"I don't know if Mr. Feng Chang is here, what's the matter?" Hu Hanxie found that he still didn't understand the tricks of Zhou Dynasty people, so he asked directly.

Feng Zizhi said unhurriedly: "The emperor is afraid that Da Shanyu will come from a long way away, and there are not many caring people around to take care of him, so he specially sent four maids and eight errand servants to wait for Da Shanyu. In addition, there are some gifts for the Great Chanyu.”

"Papa!" He raised his hand and patted it a few times.

Not far away came four beauties who were either pure or quiet or bright or charming, and there were eight clever servants behind them.

Hu Hanxie just glanced at it, and thought: "Could it be that the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty wants to use beauty tricks? This is too much to look down on me, Hu Hanxie!"

"These four maids and eight young servants also served in the palace of Yizhong County in the past, and they are very familiar with the etiquette in the palace and the places in Beijing. You can also take them back to the grassland." Feng Zizhi said lightly.

King Yizhong?

Upon hearing the name, Hu Hanxie immediately searched for who it was in his mind.

The current emperor of the Zhou Dynasty felt that his niece Princess Mingzhu had served the country and made a lot of contributions. He also felt sorry for the helplessness of his elder sister-in-law and nephews, and couldn't bear that they would be imprisoned in the eldest prince's mansion for the rest of their lives.After consulting the Supreme Emperor, the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty decreed that Li Tianhuang, a commoner, be conferred the posthumous title of Prince Yizhong, downgraded to be a noble, and released the confinement of Prince Yizhong, concubine, prince and others.Today, the new lineage of Yizhong County King is cautious, and even gatherings between clans rarely occur, and most of the time they are in a quiet corner.

As far as Hu Hanxie was concerned, the reason why he would remember this county king was because this Yizhong county king was the younger brother of Princess Mingzhu whom he asked to marry.

Combined with the information Yan Heng brought just now, Hu Hanxie guessed that the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty bestowed the people of Yizhong County's palace to him because he intended to betroth the owner of Mingzhu County to him.

Those maidservants were either those who served Princess Mingzhu in the past, or they belonged to Princess Mingzhu's dowry.

It may also have another meaning, Princess Mingzhu sent them here to "investigate" her future husband-in-law.

In just one breath, Hu Hanxie's heart turned twice.

"Since it is the kindness of the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, Gu will be disrespectful." He waved his hand, signaling Hu Luyi to arrange the people and gifts.

Seeing this, Feng Zizhi's smile deepened.

"Our family has other errands, so we will resign first."

"Factory, please."
