Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 787 The Huns and Daijun

With such a judgment, it is not that Chen Zhi is sentimental, but he has to think more about it, because in the past few months, the Xiongnu Kingdom has been generally honest, but this is the general trend, and it is considered stable by the court, but this Despite the overall situation, there are still sporadic incidents.

Daijun is located on the edge of the Xiongnu Kingdom, so it is inevitable. Many of them were planned by Liu Yao, who wanted to use subversive methods to deal with Chen Zhi, but had little effect. He sent troops several times. Disguised as a bandit and a Xianbei, he wanted to enter Koudai County, but was thwarted by the seventh-grade Xianbei recruited by Chen Zhi.

Now, he suddenly took action personally and led a troop of troops northward, which would inevitably make Chen Zhi think more and suspect what purpose was hidden behind this.

After thinking about it, Chen Zhi simply summoned Su Liao and asked him to interrogate the many Huns who were still imprisoned.

As early as half a year ago, there was an assassin hidden in the envoy sent by the Xiongnu. After he was caught, this person was really tough. No matter how he was treated, interrogated, or tortured to extract confessions, he just gritted his teeth and said nothing. Don't tell.

But in addition to this person, Jin Zhun, the head of the envoy at that time, and Jin Ming, Jin Zhun's brother, were also arrested, because Jin Zhun's status in the Xiongnu country was not low, and the Xiongnu The leader of the country, Liu Cong, was about to marry Jin Zhun's daughter, but his father-in-law was detained outside. It was not the same thing. After all, the Xiongnu had been sinicized for many years, and many of their wedding customs were similar to those of the Han family. When getting married, you should ask them Parents, otherwise it would be ugly, not to mention that Liu Cong claims to be the king of a country, so he cannot afford to disgrace this person.

So they sent people to Daijun one after another, and the core idea was one thing -

let go!

At the beginning, he used an attitude of scolding and questioning, and threatened Dai Jun to release people because of military affairs, which really worried Dai Jun.

But Chen Zhi and others could see that the Xiongnu actually did not have the conditions or sufficient reasons to mobilize troops at the moment. In addition, Chen Zhi was assassinated, so the Xiongnu would not give an explanation. How dare they The evildoer complains first, forcing the sufferer to bow his head. If he really bows his head, others will not say anything about it, but the impact on his prestige will be fatal.

So no matter how the other party threatened him, Chen Zhi withstood the pressure from the county and refused to let go.

Later, the tone of the person sent by the Xiongnu gradually softened, and he actually talked about diplomatic relations, hoping that Chen Zhi would consider the overall situation and contribute to peace between the two countries.

But these words were empty words in Chen Zhi's opinion. If he really valued peace between the two sides, would he still commit an assassination?Furthermore, the other party did not make it clear whether this matter was directed by the high-level Xiongnu officials or at the instigation of a certain faction, and there was not much sincerity no matter how you looked at it.

But now that the other party's tone had changed, Chen Zhi took advantage of the situation and made a few demands. It was a back and forth. After all, Jin Zhun's identity and his original role in history were neither emotional nor rational. He would really kill him, not to mention that after investigation, questioning and evidence collection, Chen Zhi could basically confirm that this assassination was Liu Lin's personal act. In advance, not only Jin Zhun and Jin Ming, but also Liu Yue from Liu Yao's camp , were unaware of it.

However, judging from some words and clues, Liu Yue came with the group and had negotiations with Liu Lin. He did have the idea of ​​​​finding an opportunity to assassinate him, but this opportunity, no matter how he thought about it, should not be in public. Next, in one's own presence.In this case, there is no need to take the risk of disrupting the pace of development and forcibly killing him. Moreover, if Liu Lin belongs to the system of Liu Yi and Liu Yao, then the leader of the Huns, Liu Cong, is equivalent to taking the blame for this matter.

Chen Zhi's bargaining made Liu Cong quite angry, and what made Liu Cong even more angry was that it was the actions of Liu Yi's faction. After all, Liu Cong had no intention of assassinating Chen Zhi during this trip. Even if he succeeded, he would probably attract Daijun's strong counterattack was not a good thing for the Xiongnu Kingdom, which had just calmed down its internal conflicts and bridged several tribal conflicts.

But on the other hand, within the Xiongnu Kingdom, there were still many people who attributed the death of the former leader Liu Yuan to Chen Zhi. As a human son, Liu Cong could not deal directly with Chen Zhi.

In this way, under the low-key treatment of both parties intentionally or unintentionally, traders from the Huns came to Daijun at some time, and many business operations were carried out silently under the guidance of Daijun.

Not long after that, Jin Zhun and Jin Ming were let back one after another.

In Chen Zhi's view, keeping these two people was a hot potato. They would make the Huns worry about them, weaken Liu Cong's faction, and benefit Liu Yi, Liu Yao and others. It was really not cost-effective, let alone in the original history. , this Jin Zhun was also the culprit that caused the collapse and split of the Huns and Han Kingdom. It would be too wasteful not to take advantage of such a scourge.

In fact, as early as when Liu Cong sent someone to negotiate for the second time, Chen Zhi knew the other party's bottom line. Later, although the Jin Zhun brothers were placed under house arrest, the environment changed, and they treated each other with courtesy, and even deliberately put the Jin Zhun brothers under house arrest. The news was revealed to the Huns general Liu Yue.

This kind of treatment made Brother Jin Zhun feel relieved, and his relationship with Chen Zhi actually improved, and he even started to deliberately get closer.

This is not because the two of them are masochists, but because in this incident, members of the envoy took the initiative to assassinate Chen Zhi. If Chen Zhi had not responded in time, he would have died on the spot. To be fair, they felt that it would have been them , and will not let it go easily. Now he is willing to treat each other with courtesy. Although there are still restrictions, he has also maintained restraint and released goodwill.

As for the negotiation with Liu Cong, Chen Zhi also vaguely revealed it, which made the Jin Zhun brothers feel more at ease. So much so that when they left Daijun three months ago, they expressed their feelings very much. Emotion, in the surprised eyes of others, thanked Dai Jun for his hospitality, and then set off on the road again.

As soon as Jin Zhun and others returned here, the news of Liu Cong's wedding came over there. Those in this generation of counties who knew the inside story couldn't help but sweat. The leader of the Huns had been waiting to enter the bridal chamber for a long time. , As a result, the father-in-law was trapped, which was no small matter. If he was really held captive, there was no telling what would happen in a desperate situation.

However, on the other hand, although Jin Zhun and others left, Liu Yue was still in Chen Zhi's hands. Moreover, because Liu Yue protested against being treated differently, Chen Zhi used this as an excuse to change places and secretly The arrangement allowed him to connect with the Huns' spies from the outside world and constantly receive news.

"This Liu Yao must not be underestimated. In the original history, this person was a figure who faced off against Shi Le. He led the troops northward with an unknown purpose. We must find a way to find out clearly. If he really wants Daijun, when the time comes, I am trapped in the quagmire of dealing with Wang Jun, and I may be attacked from both sides, which is not advisable. In this case, it is time to release the prepared chess pieces."
