Chapter 500 What is Zonghengjia?
When the mighty group of messengers of Qin came to the Yuezhi King's tent, it caused quite a stir. This was the first time that most Yuezhi people had come into contact with Qin. Qin was completely different from Yuezhi. When the tribes here first saw these Central Plains people wearing armor and flags and carriages, they were very surprised, including the Yuezhi King. Yuezhi King had seen those messengers very early, and the appearance of the Central Plains people was not without Yuezhi.
However, he had never seen such a support. Whether it was their neat steps or the colorful flags, the Yuezhi King was very curious. Ganluo respectfully paid homage to the Yuezhi King. In order to avoid conflict, Ganluo presented the gifts he prepared for the Yuezhi King as soon as he came up, including gold and jade, rare wood, brocade clothes, and even paper.
King Yuezhi is a cruel person, but his cruelty is more for fun, and this cruelty is more for the lower class. Otherwise, he would not have taken in the Shanyu of the Xiongnu. The Shanyu defected. He thought it was very interesting to let his past opponents bow down, so he left him behind. At this moment, Gan Luo presented so many fun gifts. Looking at these treasures, King Yuezhi could not remove his eyes at all. He rudely asked his ministers to accompany Gan Luo, so he went back with the gifts.
He wants to appreciate his treasures alone, but Ganluo is not important.
Gan Luo couldn't guess what the other party was thinking. Kings like this were just unable to guess and could not see through it. At this point, Zhang Xiang of South Korea had a deep understanding of the Yuezhi ministers. At this moment, they were also a little embarrassed, but they still arranged a banquet to entertain the envoy from Qin. Of course, Gan Luo also gave them gifts. At this time, Gan Luo began to show his outstanding diplomatic ability.
He had a very happy chat with these ministers. Gan Luo was smart and had very high communication skills. He had investigated these ministers in advance and understood them. Therefore, after only a moment, he began to call brothers and brothers with these ministers, and had a great conversation, and even received the respect of many ministers. The other envoys were naturally not idle. Gan Luo let them play at the banquet with peace of mind, and they began to integrate into these Yuezhi people.
Gan Luo stayed in the Yuezhi country like this. When the Huns Toutan Shanyu learned the news, he was also particularly shocked. He didn't know how the arrogant and stupid Yuezhi king would allow a group of Qin people to stay by his side. Touman immediately had many ideas. If the Yuezhi went to war with Qin State... would this be an opportunity for the Huns? Just as the Huns began to deploy according to his own ideas, Gan Luo was also implementing his strategy.
Since Gan Luo came here, he had other thoughts in his mind. Instead of letting the Yuezhi King nod and opening the road to the Western Regions, it would be better to let the Yuezhi King die and directly recover this important Hexi Corridor. No, the Yuezhi King cannot die. Such a person must stay and let him continue to lead the Yuezhi people to "glory". Gan Luo was originally a little afraid of the Yuezhi, but when he truly understood this country, he became much more at ease.
The Yuezhi people had less than one million people, of course, this was normal. For example, the original Huns had a population of less than one million during their heyday. However, because of their particularity, they could summon a lot of soldiers. Most of their people would ride horses, and they didn't have to prepare too many war supplies. The Yuezhi people with less than one million people could summon more than two hundred thousand troops.
However, thanks to the current Yuezhi King, the Yuezhi Kingdom has different tribes. Although the differences between them are not too great and the language is common, it is not a whole after all. In order to control various territory, the Yuezhi King distributed his confidants and descendants to various places to command the local people, which was similar to the feudal system. The difference is that the leaders of these feudal systems were not hereditary, and they were directly drafted by the Yuezhi King.
Today, the King of Yuezhi is a cruel and unkind guy. During his reign, he repeatedly removed local leaders and even abused local leaders. Because the speed of changing leaders was fast, the local government was in chaos and government affairs were chaotic. This was like in the Zhou Dynasty, the Emperor of Zhou changed kings from all over the country every day, and even cruelly killed these kings. This was really stupid. But the King of Yuezhi did this.
He dared to do this because his father left him a powerful army. One-third of the people of the Yuezhi Kingdom were directly managed by the Yuezhi King, and his army was the largest. Although he was not very good to his soldiers, he could eat meat and birds of a feather flocked to him. Most of him were cruel and greedy guys around him. Relying on these troops, he ignored local opposition.
Ganluo was a little excited. The conflicts within the Yuezhi were very good for him. Another point was the ministers around the Yuezhi King. These ministers were very dissatisfied with the Yuezhi King, and even in the Yuezhi King's army, dissatisfaction also existed. Ganluo felt that it was a waste not to use these things. Ganluo chose to brainlessly please the Yuezhi King, who was stupid, arrogant and slow.
Ganluo held a gift in one hand and praised the other, which made the Yuezhi King happy every day. He kept Ganluo by his side and even wanted to give him a title. Ganluo's flattery made him very useful. When he approached Queen Yuezhi, Ganluo won over the ministers around the Yuezhi King through his several confidants. By this time, Ganluo did not express any purpose or ideas, but was just constantly flattering.
Because of the death of Wu Chenghou, the emperor was not so concerned about Gan Luo's trip to Yuezhi. In other words, during this period, the ministers were not at the heart of this, which was considered to be Gan Luo's luck. If he treated King Yuezhi like this at other times and had not completed his mission for a long time, he was afraid that the emperor would not be able to sit still, and he might have doubted whether he was going to rebel, or simply ordered him to return because of his incompetence.
After staying in Yuezhi for more than a month, Ganluo finally decided to take action.
When King Yuezhi heard the news of the rebellion of the leaders of several tribes in the north, he was furious. Yuezhi had never happened before. He dared to rebel? He dared to raise an army to deal with him. King Yuezhi was shocked and angry, and hurriedly asked the ministers why the local rebelled... Some ministers told the reason, because the king wanted to build a pavilion to store his treasures, and asked the leaders from all over the country to put down what they were doing and bring the people to build, which caused such a thing.
Well, this pavilion was the suggestion of a minister. He believed that King Yuezhi should build a palace to store his treasures and could appreciate them all day long. The reason why this minister mentioned it was Gan Luo's suggestion. During these days, Gan Luo kept getting close to King Yuezhi and constantly advocating him, which made him even more inflated, and unconsciously taught him some things, such as the fact that there was a very outstanding king in China.
This outstanding king built a wine pond and meat forest, burning disobedient people to death... There was also a king who teased the local lords for his beloved woman, and a wise king killed his brothers and sisters for the pacification of the country... After Ganluo unconsciously revealed the deeds of some Chinese wise people, the Yuezhi King began to follow suit, aggravated the exploitation of the local area and the entire Yuezhi.
At the same time, Ganluo sent people to secretly collude with local leaders... The Yuezhi King insisted on asking the leaders from all over the country to help him build a palace when they were preparing to migrate for the winter, which became the final fuse. The war was about to break out, and some tribal leaders who were sponsored by Ganluo were the first to start the resistance, while the Yuezhi King decided to quell the war as quickly as possible and burn the thieves to death!!
Gan Luo couldn't help but sneer.
The civil war broke out in the Yuezhi, but the Xiongnu Khan stood on the side of the Yuezhi King and wanted to quell the rebellion for them. The power gap between the two sides was very large. The rebellion leaders had a combined force of less than 40,000 troops, while the Yuezhi King sent out 100,000 people to suppress them at one time. However, the war was not as the Yuezhi King thought. For some reason, the leaders involved in the rebellion knew the situation of the Yuezhi King's army and even knew their attack route.
He also used ambush, raid and other tactics that did not match them, and quickly dismantled the Yuezhi King's several pounces, which made the Yuezhi King even more angry. He executed several generals to vent his anger and then attacked again. There was also a problem with the Yuezhi King's own tribe. The minister who was deeply trusted by the Yuezhi King actually poisoned the wine. Although he did not admit this until his death, the angry Yuezhi King cruelly tortured him to death and rewarded Gan Luo who found the problem.
Immediately, the Yuezhi King, who could not believe, asked Gan Luo to find the minister's accomplice... For a moment, many ministers around the Yuezhi King were arrested and killed in the name of murdering the king. Then, rebellion broke out in the Yuezhi King's tent. Some herders killed his horse, gathered to break into the palace, and were stopped by the warriors... For a moment, the Yuezhi King was frustrated.
The war continued, and the local army struggled to persevere. Seeing that several leaders could last for so long, those local leaders who suspected the strength of the Yuezhi King refused to work hard. There were even a few people who directly joined the other party. The Yuezhi King could not do anything except furious... At this time, another minister offered his own strategy for the Yuezhi King. It would be better to withdraw his main army and let the local leaders serve as the main force, so that they could kill each other.
The Yuezhi King believed it deeply and began to do what he said. However, in the end, this approach only forced the local leaders on his side to the other side and became his own enemy. Seeing the rebellion unable to suppress it, everywhere was fighting, and his position was shaking. The Yuezhi King finally calmed down and he was a little scared. At this time, Ganluo finally came out.
"King, I have an idea to completely resolve local rebellions... General Wang Jian of Qin was not far from the Yuezhi. Although his strength was not strong, only 30,000 to 40,000 people, General Wang Jian had a lot of food and food. If they were asked to help, they might be able to quell these rebellions... But..." Gan Luo said hesitantly: "However, after quelling the rebellion, he must make a request."
When the King of Yuezhi summoned the ministers to discuss whether to invite the Qin army to help him quell the rebellion, the ministers expressed great support. Those who were unwilling to support had long been cleansed due to the poisoning incident. Now the ministers have either been bribed by Ganluo or some wine bags, and there is no threat at all... The King of Yuezhi immediately asked Ganluo to send people back and ask Qin for help.
The war within the Yuezhi was becoming more and more tragic at this moment. The local leaders seemed to see the dawn of victory. In addition, the people of Yuezhi were all standing on their side, and even defected from the king's tent to their side, which caused the Yuezhi King to move from the offensive to the defensive, and the rebels began to attack... The Yuezhi King obviously didn't know that there was something called Minxin, and he didn't know how unpopular he was.
The people voluntarily donated cattle and sheep as rebel supplies, and the elderly and children also took up weapons to participate in the rebellion... Over the years, the Yuezhi King has done too much. The Yuezhi people wished to eat his meat and drink his blood... At this time, the people sent by Ganluo finally contacted Wang Jian's deputy general. Wang Jian was still in Xianyang and did not come back. Now he is the deputy general guarding here.
The deputy general was Huan Qiong, not a mediocre person. He learned a lot of news from Ganluo's envoy.
"I don't have the final say in sending troops, it requires your Majesty's consent."
"Your Majesty will agree. We have sent people to Xianyang... But you have to remember that this time you go to Yuezhi, you are going to be attacked and defeated by the Huns, and you cannot win..." Ganluo's envoy said seriously, which made Huan Qi full of confusion. "It's not impossible to let us be defeated, but it requires the cooperation of the Huns. How could the Huns attack us? Can Ganluo still order the Huns?"
"And, why do we do this? What's the point?"
Ganluo's messenger smiled and did not answer the question.
In the Hun camp in the distance, Shun Zheng told Touman his opinion. Shun said seriously: "Shanyu, you wanted to cause conflicts between King Yuezhi and Ganluo before, and even arranged people to poison and frame Ganluo. However, in the end, he was used by him and instead got rid of his opponent... Now, he wants to lead the Qin army into the Yuezhi, which is to plot against Yuezhi. They must have wanted to attack the front and back, destroy the King Yuezhi... and then occupy the place."
"We must find a way... we must never let the Qin people find this big advantage..."
