Looking at Li Ling's eyes, the sage slowly stood up, then stretched out two fingers and said, "If King Jiankun really hopes that I will rescue the tribes in the northern Mo River, then King Jiankun must agree to the two conditions of this king!"

Li Ling thought for a moment, then asked: "Dare you ask Tu She, which are the two conditions?"

If he wants to make him betray Hu Lu Gu, he will never agree!

He had already rebeled from the Han Dynasty and had a reputation as a traitor.

If he betrays Hu Lu Gu again, he will never be able to clear his stigma.

The wise man looked at Li Ling with a fearful smile and said, "Don't worry, King Jiankun, I will not force others to do anything!"

He walked to Li Ling and looked at this former Han Dynasty general and the powerful figure of the Huns, his eyes full of appreciation!

No Xiongnu royal family would refuse a person like Li Ling under his command!

He is familiar with the military, politics, and economy of the Han Dynasty, and is closely related to the upper class of the Han Dynasty!

Even now, the wise men knew that as long as Li Ling needed, he could contact some of the big figures in Chang'an at any time and even gain their trust.

In addition, Li Ling's ability to lead troops and command abilities are the absolute great devil in the entire Huns!

No one can compete with this pride of the genius of the Longyou general family of the Han Dynasty!

His training ability for cavalry is even more bug-level.

The Jiankun people were just an insignificant branch of the Huns in the past.

You can't even have a name. Every year, you have to sit on the edge of the Tellurium Conference and become the target of bullying by everyone.

But when Li Ling was the queen, Jiankun's strength grew rapidly in just a few years!

In the war this spring and this summer, the Jiankun cavalry showed extraordinary combat capabilities.

The wise men are afraid of it, but they are also covetous.

Therefore, the sincerity of the wise men was quite sufficient.

He whispered: "The first condition..."

"King Jiankun must agree to this king, and when the time is right, we will work with me to eradicate the power of Tushe Shaman!"

For the wise men, the position of the Shanyu was almost like ripe fruits and vegetables. He just needed to wait patiently and he could sit on it sooner or later.

Hu Lu Gu's body was definitely not going to last long, even if he could, people inside and outside the royal court would not allow him to hold on.

The only question now is who will ascend the Chanyu.

Once the Shanyu’s opinions inside and outside the court reach an agreement, it will be the time when the Hu Lu Gu dies!

In this game, the wise men have taken over most of the advantages.

Not just because he is Zuo Xianwang, the only designated heir.

Moreover, because his strength is the strongest among the Huns now!

Other competitors need to unite to beat him.

And they cannot unite.

Therefore, the wise men knew that he only needed to wait patiently for the compromise between the leaders of the Mobei tribes, especially the four major clans.

And that Tushe Shaman is different!

That's a cancer!

A tumor parasitized on the body of the currently morbid Hun Empire, and this tumor has been growing wildly.

Now, the Tushe Shaman only has a group of loyal believers, and is mainly concentrated among the lower herders and slaves, and the upper clan leaders and nobles, who are unable to influence and infiltrate them.

But the trend has begun.

It can be imagined that once it gains a foothold, its influence will penetrate into all aspects after several years or more than ten years. By that time, the Huns would probably only know that there were Tushe Shamans but not the Shanyu.

This is something that the wise men are unacceptable to no matter what.

Therefore, the so-called Tushe Shaman and his forces must be eradicated!

Moreover, the influence of the latter must be erased from the root.

For this reason, the wise men are willing to pay all the price!

Li Ling listened, but his eyes lit up and nodded, "Don't worry, even if Tu She doesn't say it, Xiao Wang will do it!"

"The power of ghosts and gods can be respected, but it must not be trusted, let alone used!"

Li Ling had a deep resistance and guard against the so-called Tushe Shaman.

It is not only because of the education and values ​​he received that he keeps away from all the sayings of ghosts and gods.

And because he saw with his own eyes the destructive and devastating nature of the latter.

If the belief of Tushe Shaman spread to the Huns, Li Ling knew that there was no doubt that the Huns would become third-rate forces from then on.

Moreover, you will never turn over!

He could not imagine that if the Huns all worshipped the so-called gods and devoted all their cheese and fur to the gods, what future would the Huns have?

They will not grazle with care, but will only pray for the blessing of the gods.

They will no longer practice riding and archery, but will only believe in the blessing of the gods.

They are no longer willing to take care of their children and women with heart, because the shamans told them that as long as they believe in God and the messengers of God, the gods will take care of and protect their families.

However, Hu Lu Gu refused to listen to Li Ling's advice and kept protecting the so-called Tushe Shaman and his power.

Even Hulugu planned to invite the Tushe Shaman to preside over the sacrifice of heaven and ancestors at the Tellurium Conference next year.

In Li Ling's opinion, Hu Lu Gu was like a drowning person, trying hard to grasp a straw and trying to survive.

Even the straw is actually a sharp sword that can pierce into people's hearts at any time!

This is simply crazy!

When the ancestors heard Li Ling's agreement, they immediately became extremely warm.

He stretched out his second finger, looked at Li Ling, and said, "This second condition..."

"King Jiankun must take down the Luntai City of the Han Dynasty for this king!"

As soon as these words came out, they were shocked!

Li Ling widened his eyes, looked at the wise men, and said in a deep voice: "Tu She should know that I have made a vow: In this life, I will never raise troops to meet Han soldiers!"

"Is that true?" Xianxian smiled fearfully: "Why should King Jiankun deceive himself?"

"You swear not to meet the Han army..."

"I know it and respect it very much..."

"However, King Jiankun should know that your oath is actually not true!"

Li Ling widened his eyes and looked at the wise men.

He listened to the wise men and said fearfully: "The Jiankun Wang family is well-educated, so he should know the meaning of eating the king's fortune and being loyal to the king!"

"I heard that hundreds of years ago, Wu Zixu, a native of Chu, was like King Jiankun, who was wronged by the foolish king, and his family was killed and fled to Wu. He was used by the King of Wu. He finally destroyed the capital of Chu and avenged his shame!"

"Wu Zixu is still a real man to this day, and he praises the world, even if I am the king, he admires it very much!"

"Now, even if King Jiankun keeps his oath, the Emperor of Han Dynasty will probably not forgive you!"

"not to mention……"

"Now, the power of the Huns is declining, while the Han Dynasty is booming..."

"To be honest, I have just heard a rumor from Juyan of the Han Dynasty: Han Shizhong, Jianwenjun, was the grandson of the Han Dynasty. When he was in charge of Xinfeng County, he promoted water conservancy and taught the people to farm. So this year, Xinfeng stayed in Xinfeng and produced seven stones per mu of wheat! The whole Han Dynasty was shocked and thought prosperity was expected. Some literati even shouted, "To achieve a well-off society, welcome the new king, and open peace, and the whole world is the same."

Speaking of this, the wise men stared at Li Ling with fear and said in an aggressive manner: "If this continues, it will take less than a few years. Only the Han people planted the wheat with a yield of seven stones acres in the four counties of Hexi, and our Huns will be expected to perish!"

This is inevitable and certain things!

Once, the Han Dynasty could obtain seven stones per mu in Hexi, or even only need to have an average yield of three or four stones per mu.

Then, the local grain output in Hexi was enough to support the Han Dynasty army in combating the large corps outside the Hexi wall.

At that time, the Han people would definitely use Juyan and Luntai as their bases and come to the Western Regions to find trouble for the Huns every now and then.

The Huns could not withstand such consumption.

The Battle of Tianshan emptied the savings of the entire Huns for several years and also spent half of the treasury of the Western Regions Kingdom.

After that battle, when Qiehou Shanyu returned to Mobei, he saw the naked treasury and hungry herdsmen, and was so anxious that he burst into tears.

As a result, two years later, the Han Dynasty army left Juyan and rushed straight to Junji Mountain.

At that time, the Huns did not dare to fight at all, so they could only give up Junji Mountain, Bihai, and the Hungary River. They retreated all the way to the middle reaches of the Yuwushui River before they dared to fight head-on with the Han army.

And if the four counties in Hexi could supply food from the Han army.

Then, the frequency of attacks by the Han Dynasty corps may increase to once a year, or even n times a year.

There is no need to fight this war, and the Huns will lose.

Li Ling naturally knew that because when he was training troops in Jiuquan and Wuwei, he often sighed: "Only the food of the four counties in Hexi can be enough for my half-year-old food. Then I will go to the Xiongnu royal court and capture Shanyu and punish the Northern Que!"
