Chapter 202 Next step plan
While Huo Hai was discussing the strategic direction with Jia Xu and others, Tuntulu and Heluman were not idle either. Although they were in a cave, they could feel the deep chill coming from outside.
"The Han monks have the best methods. I am afraid that they can't change the weather on such a scale." Tuntuluya forced his thinking out of the scenes of the different world that he saw in Huo Hai's dream.
During this attack, they did not cause any substantial damage to Huo Hai, but instead gave Huo Hai some benefits. But this was not the point. What made them most depressed was that the things in Huo Hai's mind affected their three views.
In Huo Hai's cognition, the Huns and Han people were originally one country, but their ethnic groups were different, and they could support each other and grow together.
In Huo Hai's cognition, it is a relatively low-level ignorant act of human beings using war means to attack and seize survival resources. The world is so big and there are so many resources. Not to mention the current population size of human beings, even if it is ten times more population, relying on these natural resources, it can easily feed all mankind.
The main reason for killing people is that everyone does not know how to develop resources. In Huo Hai's perception, East Asia, which has a population of only tens of millions, should be a rich man.
He wanted to make everyone become rich, including the Huns, but he and his two are now stopping him.
But he didn't know that Huo Hai's persuasion to surrender to them had already begun as early as the battle in his dream.
These dream scenes were all what Huo Hai wanted them to see, and when they learned that the person who led the troops to Lishicheng was Yu Fuluo, their inner will to resist became even weaker.
"We have to leave here." Hruman sighed and opened his eyes.
"Where do you go?" Tuntuluya asked him.
"Leave the Stone City." Hrumman replied.
"There may not be safe over there now." Tuntuluye frowned.
"It's not safe here now. If we don't leave the ground, we will starve to death in three or five days. Moreover, after the population is gathered into the city by them, it will become easy for them to find us. The Central Plains monk riding a crane should have been monitoring the ground in the sky. We might as well enter Lishi City with the crowds. What the people arranged for us by Dong Zhuo can greatly enhance our abilities. Unless we can use these things to defeat the Han monks, we will have no chance of winning in this battle." Hruman explained.
"I am actually confused. So what if I win? So what if I lose?" Tuntuluye asked Hrumman and asked himself again.
"If you win, you naturally don't need to be under the jurisdiction of the Han people. If you lose, your best result is to move to the Western Regions and integrate into us."
"Hexi is the birthplace of our Huns. If we abandon them, will the Huns still be Huns?" Tuntuluye glared at Hrumendao.
"The ancestors have argued for a hundred years but have not yet come to a single result. It is difficult for you and I to discuss a single result. Perhaps, you are the last pride of the Huns, but if you stay, you may have to accept the long-term rule of the Han people and no longer be the proud Huns."
"As early as many years ago, we had already accepted the rule of the Han people. Even our Shanyu was conferred by the Han emperor, right?
Moreover, if we lose to the Han army this time, it is not the Han emperor who ruled us, but the man from heaven, this is different."
"Do you have already expected this man from heaven to rule me, the Huns?"
"why not?"
"Then, did we surrender to Lishicheng?"
"No, it is a battle. We will fight to the best of our ability, so that the Han monks can see the strongest strength of our Xiongnu Tianwu. In this way, they can give us the greatest respect to us."
"They may not necessarily have the creed that the strong are respected."
"I don't think so. He will not let anyone who is valuable to him go. We can't search for the wise man named Jia who was sent by Dong Zhuo, and maybe he has already joined his command."
"The biggest advantage of the Han people over me, the Huns is that most of them are smart, but smart people are very cautious of their lives. I don't like this person with the surname Jia."
"You just don't like being betrayed, but since the beginning, people have no kindness and can't be betrayal. Let's eat all the food in the cave and go to Lishicheng! If Fu Luo brought our portrait to Lishicheng, we might not even have the chance to enter through the city gate to launch the formation."
After the two of them finished speaking, they began to chew on the small amount of jerky left in the hole. A quarter of an hour later, Zuo Ci, who was napping in the sky, saw two small black dots on the ground.
"I didn't expect that among the Huns, there were people with such a short figure, and this appearance was too unbearable."
Almost at first glance, Zuo Ci confirmed that these two were Xiongnu Tianwu, because when he looked at the two on the ground, they also looked up at him.
Obviously, the two of them were not afraid of exposing their whereabouts to Zuo Ci.
Zuo Ci naturally wouldn't do the same thing without being sure of it, so he could only continue to monitor the two in the sky and watch them enter Lishi City.
Soon, Zuo Ci posted a message to the surroundings to close the net. The storm cavalry led by Chu Yan moved closer to Lishi City at full speed. In just two hours, it appeared outside the city of Lishi City, sealing the four gates tightly.
"Master Zuo, the city gate has been blocked. Are we going to take action?"
"No, I have to wait for Fulu first."
"Let him persuade him to surrender?"
"Of course not. With the arrogant nature of the Heavenly Witch, how could they surrender? We have to be equal to the magnet sent by Vluo. When Zhang Wenyuan blocks the escape route. Moreover, you Qifeng Cavalry is only responsible for blocking the surrounding Lishi City, because Vluo leads troops into the city to arrest people."
"But they are strong cultivators, and most of the subordinates of Yu Fuluo are ordinary soldiers who have not cultivated their internal strength."
"The Huns may kill each other, but the Hun Tianwu will not. Letting Yu Fuluo bring the Hun soldiers into the city can prevent the Tianwu from using devastating forbidden techniques."
The biggest difference between the Heavenly Witches and Great Wizards is that they have mastered something higher than ordinary witchcraft, such as an incurable epidemic that can instantly erupt within a ten-mile radius, so that all people and animals may die.
Although these powerful forbidden techniques will cost the life of the Heavenly Witch, any situation may happen during the war, and Zuo Ci must not be guarded against.
Half a day later, Huo Hai, who received Zuo Ci's message, also ordered the three armies to set out and advance towards Lishicheng.
Jia Xu and Tian Feng were both on his sled car, but the thing we were talking about was not the battle in Li Shicheng.
"When our army arrives in Lishicheng, it should be the time when we decide the victory and defeat of the Huns. However, it is easy to defeat the Huns, but it is difficult to rule the Huns. We need to determine a complete set of policies against Hu and maintain our interests, so that the Huns can get better and better. This is a big problem. Can you teach me?"
Jia Xu glanced at Tian Feng and saw that he had no intention of speaking first, so he smiled and said, "Since Wen Hao doesn't want to say it first, let me say a few words first.
The general, his subordinates, believed that to govern the Huns in Hexi, the first thing to do is to say is trust, which is not only honesty, but also prestige.
Why are the Xianbei people in northern Bingzhou very obedient now?
Because the general was afraid of killing them, they believed that the general was the most powerful person in the world, so they dared not be disrespectful.
With such awe, the general can promote education with gentle breeze and drizzle, so that he can truly submit.
The Huns did not see the power of the general. It would be impossible to let them return home by defeating their heavenly witches. Many things are not seen with their own eyes, and people often don’t believe them, especially these already stupid Huns.”
"So, if we want to break the tribal system of the Huns and avoid their rebellion in the future, do we still need to kill all their patriarchs in front of them?" Huo Hai understood Jia Xu's meaning and said.
"If you ask your subordinates to give you the best advice, it is to let Yu Fuluo kill these people and be bad people. Then, the general killed Yu Fuluo, be a good person, and bribed the Huns who lost the leader of the clan.
However, Yu Fuluo had already defected to the general's general, and the general would definitely not be able to do the things he killed his subordinates, so he could only settle for the second best and use real soldiers to let the Huns see the power of the general."
"The matter of establishing authority is very simple. Any battalion of soldiers under my command can torture Vrool. But how can I make the Huns believe in my integrity?" Huo Hai asked again.
"Strict military orders are required to not allow soldiers to rob the cattle, sheep and livestock of the Huns. A tax policy that can be constant for many years will not be adopted.
In addition, the general can be released to the Xiongnu Tianwu Heluman in the Western Regions. This will not only let the Huns know the general's kindness, but also make them feel that they have a way out. If they are not living here, they can move westward. In this way, it will not take long for the Xiongnu people under the general to be disobedient to discipline will flee westward, and those who stay will obey the general's rule."
"Releasing the Huns is not just about making the Huns believe that our integrity is as simple as that!" Huo Hai smiled.
"The general is extremely intelligent, so he can naturally understand the profound meaning. After releasing Herumman, the Western Regions trade routes will be opened for the general. It is impossible for Dong Zhuo to rob the general." Jia Xu said with a smile.
"Is it possible for us to use the Huns to exploit the countries in the Western Regions?" Huo Hai had not read much foreign history and did not know much about the West of this era, so he asked Jia Xu.
"If you can exploit some small countries, you may not. If you want to exploit them, you may not. There is a powerful empire called the Roman Empire in the direction west of the Great Yuezhi. My subordinates have talked to merchants who came from the Roman Empire. Most of them think that the Roman Empire is much more powerful than our great Han Dynasty.
And to the south of the Xiongnu in the Western Regions, there was a very powerful Kushan Empire. Their population and territory were not smaller than those of the Great Han Dynasty, and they were in their heyday. The Huns did not dare to invade their land."
"Rome, Kushan, and the Han Dynasty should be the three most powerful empires in Eurasia in this era! Since the Huns could not move Rome and Kushan, let them help us trade with these two empires.
In fact, I have always believed that the Huns who have been thrusting on horseback for a long time are the most suitable merchants in this era. As long as they are willing, I don’t mind letting them gain some benefits in the middle." Huo Hai, who had been doing business for three generations of ancestors, touched his clean chin and said.
