C114 Prince Xian of the Left of the Huns

How do I trade?

Hearing this question, He San did not immediately answer. He seemed to understand the meaning behind Xiao Wen's words, and asked subtly: "Mister Xiao, how do you want to trade? If it is an ordinary transaction, then it is fine as long as it is a horse walking market. "

The meaning behind his words was that if this wasn't an ordinary transaction, then they could only be conducted in secret.

From his observation, Xiao Wen could see that He San seemed to be thinking about something like smuggling iron grade equipment. He quickly said, "I have also heard about the horse market. Those places are actually under the control of the Huns. They will resell the goods collected from the herdsmen to the Chinese merchants and, in turn, to the difference. "

"However, what I want to buy, to the people of the prairie, is not worth much. However, due to the large number of people, if those brainless nobles were to slightly raise the unit price, based on the amount of money we have bought, we would probably suffer a great loss. "So, I'm not the same. We have too many middlemen in our trade with the prairie."

When he heard this, He San was silent for a moment before he asked, "Sir, what do you mean by this ordinary object on the prairie?"

"Wool." Xiao Wen said.

"Wool?" He didn't understand why Xiao Wen would be interested in wool.

However, since Xiao Wen was his own boss, He San did not pursue the matter.

He said, "If that is all, I can introduce you to Prince Xian of the Left of the Huns. If you can negotiate with him and give him an estimated sum of money, you will be able to obtain the right of the Hun to buy wool from many of the eastern pastures. "

Prince Xian of the Left?

Hearing this, Xiao Wen sucked in a breath of cold air.

He hadn't thought that this ordinary merchant would actually know the Huns' Prince Xian of the Left.

What is Prince Xian of the Left?

Prince Xian of the Left was a noble of the Huns, and was also used by the Sui and Northern Dynasties. Among the dukes of the Huns, the crown prince held the highest position.

In other words, Prince Xian of the Left was basically sure to be the next leader of the Huns.

Huzhu was left alone at the time, because Prince Xian of the Left died in succession, and thought it was an ominous sign, which had been changed to "Protect".

King Xian of the Left, together with King Li of the Left Valley, King Xian of the Right Valley, King Li of the Right Valley, known as the "Four Corners", higher than the other nobles of the Hun.

"I wonder who Prince Xian of the Left is now?" Xiao Wen asked.

"He is the Tong family, whose name is Ji Wu. He is now the son of the Hun family, and the head of a man is the grandson."

Xiao Wen nodded.

Through the super library, Xiao Wen learned that this Zou family was actually just an old man in history. They were indeed the most famous people in the Huns.

Although there is no historical record of when the old man was born alone, in 174 B.C., when he died of illness alone, he ascended to the throne of the single Hun.

During his reign, he had attacked the Yue clan, completely defeating his old enemy, and had killed the Yue king. He had also used the Yue King's skull as a wine cup, occupying the entire Hexi region and shaking the Western Regions.

Then, the old man, with his geographical advantage of being on the outside, decided that the Han army could not pursue the Huns from a distance, so he adopted a guerrilla policy of "the enemy attacks, the enemy invades, and the enemy escapes" towards the Han Dynasty, and initiated some very sudden harassment, invasion, and plundering, which caused the Han Dynasty to run for their lives. Every time the army was reorganized to fight the Huns, the Huns fled back to the outside with the looted goods they had acquired, so the Han army could not ask for a war.

The largest time was in the winter of the fourteenth year (166 BC) of the Han Dynasty, when the old soldier, who had fought at the head of the army of 140,000, went straight to Pengyang, and his vanguard, the great man, went back to the Middle Palace, and the outpost, the Iron Cavalry, approached Changan.

Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty was furious and immediately deployed a counterattack.

With the lieutenant Zhou She and the officer Zhang Wu as his generals, he set out on a thousand horses and a hundred thousand mounts. The commander of the garrison was at his side to prepare for the fight against the Huns.

Meanwhile, Marquis Lu Qing was a General of the Upper County, Marquis Ning Wei was a Northern General, and Marquis Zhou Ji was a General of Longxi, while Marquis Zhang of Dongyang was a Great General, and Marquis Dong Chi was a former General. Nessus Lumbu was also a general.

He knew clearly that although the Huns could harass the Han soldiers to the point of collapse when they were shooting on a guerrilla strike, once the Han army was ready, these soldiers who formed into a formation was definitely a hard bone that the Huns would not be able to bite.

Therefore, the old man who feared the Han army and did not dare to fight was alone. He did not dare to engage the Han army in a frontal battle.

The Han army also chose to withdraw after they chased out of the city – after all, just like the Song Dynasty, the Han army before Emperor Wu lacked cavalry. After defeating the cavalry in front of them, they were unable to pursue them effectively due to the lack of manoeuvrability.

However, in the years that followed, the Huns invaded again, raiding and looting the Yunzhong and Liaodong counties. Every year, they would have more than ten thousand people killed.

The Han Dynasty had no choice but to placate the Huns with the friendly tribute, since the gap between the two armies and their tactics was so great that it had extended to become a strategic problem.

Lao Shang and Shan Yu also accepted the peace talks of the Han Dynasty. The two countries, bordering on the Great Wall, do not invade each other.

Four years after the emperor of the Han Dynasty (1600), she died of porridge alone, and her son, a military minister, ascended the throne alone.

During the fourteen years of his reign, the Huns had been more powerful in military matters than they had ever been. They had taken the Yue family away from the west and pacified the Western Regions.

The South repeatedly broke through the Han dynasty, rendering it helpless.

Politically, too, there was no internal conflict and the victory had to be attributed to the efforts of the old and the traitorous Chinese.

There wasn't much material on the historical records about old soldiers alone, but looking at the large and small collisions between the Huns during the past decade or so, Xiao Wen believed that old soldiers were better able to distinguish the movements of their enemies clearly and take appropriate measures.

His main military target was the Yuejie in the Western Regions and other places, so he did not conduct much military action against the Han Dynasty, mainly using harassment tactics.

His "drag down one, kill one" tactic was also quite brilliant.

Moreover, he had great experience in guerrilla warfare, which fully embodied the essence of guerrilla warfare: "The enemy invades, the enemy invades, the enemy struggles, the enemy recedes, the enemy pursues". This made the Han army in the border area exhausted, miserable, disregarding positions, and considering only military theories, Xiao Wen felt that this old man was still of a rather high standard in military affairs.

He was a king who had great military attainments, a deep understanding of the ways of using troops, and outstanding management skills. These were all the conditions necessary for him to become a king with high prestige.

From the perspective of a Chinese, Xiao Wen didn't want this future military genius of the Huns to have a chance to shine and become hot.

"If that's the case, then I'd like to ask Mr. He to contact Prince Xian of the Left and have him discuss the purchase of wool with me." Xiao Wen said to He San.

However, in his mind, he was planning to use this business exchange to gain access to the Huns. With this, he would destroy the elder and only this genius.
