Chapter 456: Wusun's Purpose

What are the so-called gifts of Wusun and Qiuzi?

Lu Jia saw it soon!

For this gift, Lu Jia likes it very much.

The entire Han Dynasty envoys also liked it, and in addition, the envoys of the Western Regions City who had been walking with the mission also liked it.

Wusun and Qiuzi each sent 5,000 troops, one in the south and one in the north, and directly attacked Dawan's 3,000 cavalry.

Under the planning of Wusun and Qiuzi, these 3,000 Dawan cavalry had nowhere to escape.

After a large number of people were killed in the battle, they quickly raised their hands and surrendered.

It's not that they don't want to escape, it's that the two countries have set up obstacles, and they can't escape at all.

After dealing with these 3,000 people, Wusun and Qiuzi gave Lu Jia the war horses ridden by the Dawan cavalry as a second gift.

Why did King Dawan kill the Han envoys?

The reason is that they have also heard about it, and it is nothing more than that the Han envoy has moved his mind about the Dawan war horse, which makes them feel the danger.

In addition, Wusun and Qiuzi also prepared a lot of war horses to be presented to the Han Dynasty.

The war, initiated by King Dawan, ended in a way that no one expected.

It's also a bit hilarious to say.

Although the ending is perfect, for Lu Jia, there are also deep doubts.

The eldest prince of Wusun is very young, he looks like he is nodding at the age of twenty, and he is okay in appearance, not to mention his eyebrows and eyes, but at least he is better looking than other people in the Western Regions.

His name is Quint.

After entering the territory of Qiuzi, everything was very calm, there were no problems, and Qiuzi even prepared a lot of supplies for the mission.

And when leaving the territory of Qiuzi, the mission can be described as a fat flow, and in order to prepare for crossing the Bailongdui, Wusun and Qiuzi even got a camel.

Of course, it didn't take long for the environment to change more and more.

Seeing that they were about to enter the desert area, many people also faintly felt a little uneasy.

This desert was also an environment that blocked the communication between the Central Plains Dynasty and the Western Regions.

And on this day, Kuntu, the eldest prince of Wusun, found Lu Jia, hoping that Lu Jia could provide him with some help.

"What ???" Lu Jia looked at Kuntu with wide eyes, and he felt a little incredulous about what Kuntu said just now: "You said that there is a princess Wusun in your mission?" ”

"Yes! Father wants to be able to intermarry with the Great Han......" Quintu nodded.

wants to correct Lu Jia's statement, in fact, in Wusun, she is not called a princess.

But it's not necessary to think about it, my own sister, my father's daughter, put it in Dahan, isn't that a princess?

"Oh, it turned out to be an intermarriage, there shouldn't be any problem with this......" Lu Jia thought about it, he felt that the emperor would accept it.

Even if the emperor is unwilling, those ministers will make the emperor willing.

Wusun's influence in the Western Regions is not small, if he can intermarry with Wusun, what does it mean?

It means that when the Han enters the Western Regions in the future, he will have a very good ally.

Although this ally may divide some of the interests of the Great Han, it is okay both for the present and in the long run.

"That...... The Han envoy ...... "Kuntu looked at Lu Jia a little embarrassed.

"Huh?"

"What my father means is that he hopes that Wusun will intermarry with the Han ......," Quintu said again.

"Yes, you all took the princess with you, don't worry, Your Majesty will not refuse...... Forehead......" Lu Jia said as he spoke, suddenly realizing the problem.

Intermarriage, in layman's terms, is the marriage of two families, which is called intermarriage.

But on another level, what is the connection?

Communicate with each other and make it easy!

Everyone Wusun took the princess with him, don't you marry a princess?

In this way, there are their own princesses on the other side, which can be relatively more reassuring.

Lu Jia suddenly felt that this thing might not be possible......

It seemed that he could see that Lu Jia's expression was refusing, and Kuntu was also a little depressed.

However, he patiently explained: "Han envoy, in fact, we Wusun also know some rules, a hundred years ago, we were neighbors with the Qin State, but later we lost the war with the Yue Clan, so we were forced to migrate to the Western Regions." ”

Lu Jia suddenly realized that he was still an old neighbor when he co-authored.

Perhaps Wusun had contact with the Qin State hundreds of years ago, so he also knew some of the relations between the Central Plains Dynasty.

And that time happened to be the Warring States period, and countries often engaged in marriages or something.

Wusun may have learned this trick as well.

However, did Wusun really be a neighbor of Qin?

This Lu Jia really hasn't understood.

And the fact is that they really did neighbors, and Wusun's habitat back then was the Hexi Corridor, and as Kuntu said, they were defeated by the Yue Clan, so they were forced to migrate.

If it is according to the course of history, Wusun will be defeated by the Yueshi next, and then continue to migrate westward, but in the current habitat, there are also a group of people who remain, and these Wusun remnants live in Lop Nur, that is, the generation of Yadan landform in later generations, the purpose is of course to avoid the attack of other powerful tribes.

"Prince, Your Majesty may agree to intermarriage, but if Wusun wants to marry Princess Dahan, there is no chance!" Lu Jia shook his head helplessly.

"Why?" Kuntu was stunned, he hadn't seen the emperor yet, and the Han envoy directly said that it was impossible?

How so?

Could it be that the rules of the Central Plains have changed now?

"Your Majesty is only a few years older than the prince, and the eldest prince of the empire is only less than three years old, could it be that the prince still wants His Majesty to marry an infant princess to Wusun?" Lu Jia said with a smile.

"......" Quintu looked confused, can you still play like this?

So he asked tentatively, "What about the emperor's sister?" ”

"Your Majesty has only one sister, and she has already married......"

"What about the kindred?" Quintu continued to ask.

"Okay, don't embarrass yourself about this matter again, after arriving in Luoyang, you can negotiate with Your Majesty, but even if Your Majesty agrees, there is a high probability that it will be ...... Forget it, the envoy can't say for sure......" Lu Jia originally wanted to say a few more words, but after thinking about it, don't speculate.

Your Majesty, what is urine, don't you know yourself?

That's a Pixiu, it's easy for a woman outside to come in, Your Majesty is called a broad-minded, and he simply doesn't refuse to come.

But if you want the woman of the big man to go out, sorry, Your Majesty is really unlikely to agree.

Besides, as a founding emperor, and after such a long period of war, his peers are not prosperous at all, and they are not of the same race, basically a bachelor.

I don't know how many princes and princesses Your Majesty has created in recent years......

"By the way, you are on such a large scale this mission, tell the envoy about your intentions, anyway, you are idle on the road, just so that the envoy can help you refer to it, so as not to dislike Your Majesty when you get it!" Lu Jia began to talk again.

He always felt as if things weren't that simple.

What do you say?

It is understandable that Wusun sent such a large scale for the sake of intermarriage.

But Guizi didn't plan to intermarry, so why did he send such a large mission?

Moreover, the two countries did not know each other's situation before, and they did not discuss it, and it was only after they met together that they discovered that this world was really coincidental.

"We want to invite the Han army into the Western Regions......" Kuntu said directly, this is indeed the top priority of this mission, although he knows that Lu Jia will definitely tell the emperor in advance, but it is good to tell in advance, just to give the emperor more time to think about this matter.

"Huh? Inviting the Han army into the Western Regions? Lu Jia looked at Kuntu a little confused, what kind of operation is this special mother?

Feelings can still be played like this?

Dawan is afraid that the Han army will enter the Western Regions, but you Wusun will rely on intermarriage to curry favor with the emperor, and then invite the Han army to come over?

What the?

Aren't you afraid that the big man will take the opportunity to annex you?

"Yes, many tribes in the Western Regions have been attacked further north recently, and they are frantically plundering the tribal population, especially women and livestock, and taking as many as they want. Our Wusun also fought with them in the north, and the strength of the other party is still quite strong, if it weren't for our some advantages in personnel, we might not really be able to beat them this time. ”

"And according to the confession of the captives we caught, they are the Xiongnu from the east, and they fought a few battles with the Han last year, and they suffered heavy losses, and they wanted to find the Han Dynasty for revenge, but they couldn't find a chance, in order to make up for the losses of the tribe, they could only temporarily fight to the west, and after accumulating strength, they would go to fight to the death with the Han Dynasty."

"According to their confession, now they are only a small army in the early stage, and they are not in harmony now, and after they finish dealing with internal affairs, they will go west with all their might, and we can't judge how long this time is, it may be a year, or two years......

"Not only us, but Guizi has also fought with them, and has suffered a lot of losses, and has also captured some prisoners and learned some information." Quintu told the truth.

The thing is very simple, the Xiongnu can't do the Han Dynasty, and they don't have women and losses.

You can't just stare at it, can you?

In addition, there was also internal chaos, and the Xiongnu, who had not been integrated, could only integrate while advancing westward, making up for their losses by plundering other tribes, and at the same time hoping to let those who make trouble see these benefits, and then agree to follow them to continue westward, and then find an opportunity to kill back.

Because Dawan was too far west, the Xiongnu's forces had not yet reached there, but Wusun and Qiuzi had fought with the Xiongnu.

In this matter, the Xiongnu were indeed careless, the previous small tribe was called a smooth sail, and suddenly encountered a big country like Qiuzi and Wusun, or used the previous means, and it was naturally very difficult to succeed.

And it was through this battle that Wusun and Qiuzi judged that they could not defeat the Huns, and the fierceness of the Huns also made them even more fearful.

It happened that at this time, Lu Jia was leading the Han Dynasty delegation to make waves in the Western Regions, although it was very turbulent, but it still retained some bottom lines.

In contrast, Wusun and Qiuzi were also more willing to accept civilized countries like the Han Dynasty than barbaric and unreasonable countries like the Xiongnu.

So, there is this scene now.
