The autumn wind swept away the leaves, and the king and the two guards ate the contents of the table without saying a word, and walked around without finishing the meal, and there were only a few plates left on the table that had been licked clean. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this time, the king of Che Cibei knew that he was a little embarrassed, not only embarrassed but also damaging the dignity of the country, embarrassed to fish out of his arms, leaking out half of the leg of mutton and said shyly: "I'm sorry, do you want to eat some?" ”

Li Dang hurriedly waved his hand: "No need, no need, His Majesty the King just eats it." "Good fellow, hold it tightly, if you really want to eat, you have to rush up and grab the king, put your mouth over and gnaw it, think about it, you are drunk.

Fortunately, there was still half a pot of wine left, so Li Kang poured two glasses. The king of Checibei took the cup and asked, "Your guests are very capable, you can still get a leg of mutton to eat in the city at this time, did your army bring it in?" ”

Li Dang smiled and said: "The contemptible people came here this time, naturally they were lightly dressed, where can they bring in how much food they can bring." ”

The king asked curiously, "Where did this leg of mutton come from?" ”

Li Dang said lightly: "Although most of the families in the city can't afford to eat, but that's just the people of your country, the Huns still eat quite well, the contemptible people just find a Huns, kill them, and take away the roast leg of lamb that is just right for roasting, anyway, the Huns took it from your country." Now that it has been eaten by His Majesty the King, it can be regarded as the return of the goods to its original owner. ”

The king said indignantly: "Damn the Huns, there is nothing good. ”

Li Dang raised his glass and said: "After talking for a long time, I forgot to introduce myself, the contemptible person is Hou Kang, the partial general of the Han army, who was entrusted by my Han general Wei Gong to negotiate with His Majesty on relevant matters." ”

The king also raised his glass and said: "Long admiration, it stands to reason that this king should be the general of the East today, but you also know that our country has been plagued by the Huns. ”

The two of them share a drink. It stands to reason that at this time, Li Dang should have stretched out his hand to invite the king to eat, saying that he would talk while eating, but unfortunately there was not a drop of oil and water on the table, so he was polite. Li Dang said: "The Huns are like wolves and tigers, and they have lost their conscience. The people of the Western Regions have been harmed by it for a long time, the former, my Royal Highness held a joint meeting in Loulan, calling on the lords of the thirty-six countries to discuss the matter of jointly fighting against the Xiongnu, it is far-sighted, to avoid the countries of the Western Regions being poisoned by the Xiongnu, at that time, His Royal Highness did not agree with the views of our army because of his own considerations, I don't know how this point of view has changed a little today. ”

The king put down the cup, wiped the greasy on the side of his mouth, and said: "The Ming people don't say secret words, the Huns have become the enemies of our northern country, there is no doubt about this, the key is, how do you ensure that after the Han army enters the city, it will be different from the Huns?" ”

Li Dang smiled lightly: "My Han army has always been a mighty army and a teacher of etiquette who has not committed any crimes in autumn. After fighting in the Western Regions and passing through almost all countries, has your majesty ever heard that the Han army has violated the interests of any country? ”

The king nodded: "I still believe this, at present, for the Han army, it is more important to exterminate the Huns, and use the head of Da Shan Yu to ask the Han Emperor for merit and reward, this king knows your Han military merit system." If you kill a few Huns, you can have a large piece of land in Han land, which is far more practical than plundering our country for a few days. The point is, what will the situation in the Western Regions become after the war? ”

Li Dang felt a moment in his heart, feeling that although this king had lived like a flower, he had not let go of the shrewd calculation in his heart at all.

The lord of the Western Regions has dealt with a lot of people, and he can have this difficulty, except for the queen of the Dayue clan, Li Tuo Bici, there is only Queen Loulan, but Queen Loulan is difficult in another form.

Li Dare stretched out his right hand: "Your Majesty has any concerns, but it doesn't hurt to say it, even if the contemptible people can't be the master, the general is outside the city, and I can tell the Chinese army and the general at any time." ”

King Che Cibei said: "Then I'll say it directly, because all along, our country has been on the side of the Huns, and this time because of the Huns, the national strength has been greatly damaged, so after the war, in order to retaliate against us, other countries join forces to attack me on the grounds that our country once stood with the Huns, what should we do?" When the time comes, who will avenge our grievances, who will help us, and who will prove to us that we will fight back and set things right at a critical time? ”

Li Dang pondered for a while and said: "This point, contemptible people can guarantee that as long as your country puts things right in the next battle, our Han army can guarantee that your country will not be retaliated against by the surrounding countries after the war." ”

The king smiled faintly: "How can you guarantee it?" It's not just empty words. Do you have a corresponding measure? ”

Li Dare said: "The Han army can station an army in your country, the number is small, and it is symbolically responsible for the security of your country, and all military actions that attack your country can be regarded as an attack on our Han army, so as to carry out armed intervention and ensure the security of your country." Of course, for the rest of your country, there will not be many troops in the garrison. There were only about two or three thousand people. As for military spending, is half of a family good? ”

The king smiled: "The second thing I want to ask is what the Han army and the Han court think about the pattern of the Western Regions after the war, but I didn't expect you to say it directly." Is that good? The garrison is in our country, so how is the political and military independence of our country reflected, is it that my train north has become a vassal state of your country? Isn't that more than worth the loss? ”

Li Dang was a little angry in his heart, and his tone was a little cold: "Then what do you say, don't garrison the army, how to ensure the safety of your country, you yourself are on the wrong side, you have to bear the consequences, forget it, you still have opinions on this way and method." So what do you say? ”

The king smiled: "I can see it, from the time when your Han sent an envoy to the Western Regions, it can be seen that uniting all ethnic groups to fight against the Xiongnu is only the first step." In the second step, you must strengthen your influence in the Western Regions, ensure that the channels for foreign trade and tribute are unimpeded, and maybe one day, you will all have the 36 countries of the Western Regions pay tribute to you. ”

Li Dang sneered: "For example, the anointed person is still thinking about the harvest of next year's crops, is he thinking a little farther." I advise Your Majesty to focus on the current predicament of the northern kingdom of the train, instead of thinking about the future situation in the Western Regions, to be honest, without the support of the Xiongnu, the future pattern of the Western Regions, even if there is no Han court to intervene, there is no room for you to speak. ”

The king clapped his hands and said, "Well, you have finally said the crux of the matter." Originally, the northern kingdom of my car was not considered a strong country in the Western Regions, and it was able to stand for many years, largely because of the background of the Huns. What about after the fall of the Huns? (To be continued.) )
