Atami and Xinlimi fought many fierce battles at the junction of the two forces.

Before the arrival of the main forces of both sides, the two sides constantly sent forward strikers to engage each other in an attempt to occupy some favorable terrain.

The forward team of hundreds of people and nearly 1,000 people fought fiercely, wrestling, and constantly dividing the winners and losers.

Before the main forces of the two sides arrived on the battlefield, there had been seven striker duels between Attami and New Force.

Attami won five times, while Synami won only twice.

This situation made Attami think that he had a good chance of winning, and the morale of the team was even stronger.

On the other hand, the troops of the new force were relatively weak, and in the face of the elite of the fierce Atami, the army of the new force was not strong, and it was defeated several times, which brought a great blow to the morale of the army.

Xin Limi was very anxious and called the elders to ask for countermeasures.

And at this moment, the elders' countermeasures are also very simple.

They had no other way but to expect that the envoy they sent to the Qiancheng of Qiuzi Kingdom would call Cao Xiu as soon as possible and give Xinli Mi some help as the protector of the Western Regions, otherwise once the war starts, the situation will not be good, and it will be difficult for Xinli Mi to win.

Xinli is full of worry and panic.

Will Cao Xiu be able to arrive in time?

Will he really make a move?

Did his shot work?

Can it deter the dominant Atami?

He really didn't know, and he wasn't sure, but the matter had come to this point, and there was no other way but to fight hard.

Of course, Xin Limi would never have imagined it, and he would never have imagined that Cao Xiu already knew about this matter, and even participated in this matter to some extent.

When Cao Xiu met the emissary sent by Xinlimi's side in Qiancheng, it was before Xinlimi and Atami went to war in an all-out war, when the elders of the clan were fighting for time and Atami.

"Da Kunmi is in danger?"

Cao Xiu pretended to look at the messenger for help with a surprised expression: "How can this be?" What happened? Why didn't I hear any wind? ”

The messenger for help was so anxious that he didn't even drink saliva, and told Cao Xiu the ins and outs of the matter in a hoarse voice.

By the way, Zhao Yan and Ma Yuan, who were beside Cao Xiu, listened to it and learned how the Wusun people viewed this matter, so as to make arrangements and preparations for the next step.

It turned out to make them want to laugh so much.

The emotional Wusun people are really following the plan set by Ma Yuan.

What two sides sent each other to ask for relatives to rush to Luoyang, dragging each other back, Atami in order to stop the new force of the team also sent people to intercept and kill, but there was not enough manpower, was killed by the new force.

If there were fewer people from the Xinli faction, it was estimated that it would not be Cao Xiu and Ma Yuan to lead the team to intercept and kill the envoys of the new force, and they would be able to deal with each other by themselves.

But none of that matters.

Because the two sides did not suspect that there were external forces involved in this inexplicable crisis, or rather, no one had the leisure to find out the ins and outs of this matter and find the truth through the cocoon.

It's too late, the long-standing grudges between the two sides have already made them fight.

Now the two sides are preparing for a decisive battle, and the military strength of the new force is obviously weaker than that of Attami, once the fight really starts, it is very likely that the new force will be completely annexed by Atami.

The people of the Great Kunmi regime have a deep understanding and cognition of this, and they know how many catties and taels they have, so they decisively ask for help.

"Is the kingdom willing to watch the Great Kunmi be swallowed up by thieves like Atami like this? The big Kunmi is dedicated to Wei, and the little Kunmi Atami is extremely ambitious and has bad intentions! ”

The envoy for help burst into tears, and knelt in front of Cao Xiu with tears streaming down his face to ask for Cao Xiu's assistance: "If the kingdom sends troops to help and save the great Kunmi from fire and water, the great Kunmi will be remembered from the bottom of his heart, and everything will be determined to follow the will of the kingdom in the future, which will never contradict it!" ”

They asked Cao Xiu to use the power of the protectorate of the Western Regions to order Attami to stop the fighting, stop his ambitions, and save the new power from precariousness.

If Attami defeats Xinli Mi and unifies Wusun, Atami will inevitably become bigger, and it will become the biggest obstacle for the Wei Empire in the Western Regions, and everything will be against the Wei Empire, is that what the Wei Empire wants to see?

Cao Xiu was immediately moved, and immediately bent down to help the messenger for help.

"You're right, I'll send someone back with you immediately, order Attami to stop the battle, and help both of you settle the matter, since you are all my vassal states, it is impossible for me Wei to turn a blind eye to you, I must take care of this matter!"

Cao Xiu's face was full of righteous words: "Captain Ma." ”

"The last general!"

Ma Yuan's current official identity is an officer in the Western Regions Protectorate, belonging to Cao Xiu's subordinates.

"Let you lead a team to Wusun with the envoy to mediate this matter, and you will never be allowed to fight in the same room and kill each other, and maintain peace in the Western Regions, this is the mission of the Western Regions Protectorate!"

"The last general commands!"

Ma Yuan took the order with certainty, and he was upright.

Then, under Cao Xiu's arrangement, Ma Yuan took a cavalry to Wusun with the envoy for help to mediate the matter, and by the way, he also brought a business team from Wei that was resting in its Qiancheng.

Cao Xiu assigned this business team to go to Wusun to do business, and by the way, they brought some food and water to Ma Yuan and others, and they had to bring their own food.

In exchange, let Ma Yuan lead the team to protect the caravan.

This caravan came from Jizhou, and its roots can be traced back to a certain powerful official in a certain department within the Shangshutai of the Central Imperial Court.

This kind of thing is really normal in the Western Regions.

It's just that the caravan was not very lucky.

Because the official with real power behind it once went up to discuss Guo someone's policy, he was hated by Guo and classified as a political enemy, ready to strike at any time.

On the way out, Ma Yuan also specially asked the leader of this caravan.

"There is a war going on in Wusun, are you going now, aren't you afraid of being implicated?"

"I, Wei Shengwei, spread far and wide to the countries of the Western Regions, as long as we are Wei people, how dare the Wusun people do anything to us? And even though it is a war, there is also a crisis.

If you are timid, don't think about business, now take advantage of the opportunity they need, make a lot of money, this is the way of business. ”

The leader boasted of his decision to Ma Yuan with a smile on his face.

"Really?"

Ma Yuan smiled.

He really appreciates the courage of these people to make money.

Five days later, at the time when the mediation between Wusun and Kunmi had completely failed and the two sides were fighting with each other, Cao Xiu learned a news that made him very "shocked".

"What?! Our people were killed?! ”

Cao Xiu watched the very "embarrassed" Ma Yuan run back with a few more "embarrassed" soldiers, and was immediately "annoyed".

Soon, Cao Xiu clarified the "ins and outs" of this matter and announced it to the public.

He said that Wusun Xiaokun Mi Atami was tyrannical and unreasonable, not only refused the mediation of the Wei Empire, but also killed 37 merchants of the Wei Empire, and also surrounded and suppressed Ma Yuan, who fought desperately to get out.

Not only did he not accept mediation, but he actually killed people?!

Such a sea of blood and hatred, if you don't swear, you won't be a person!

From now on, the little Kunmi Atami of Wusun State has been the enemy of the Wei Empire, he is a rebel, and he will be killed!

Cao Xiu's anger represented the wrath of the Wei Empire, and Cao Xiu immediately used the power given to him by the Emperor of Wei to demand that the remaining four garrisons of the Wei Empire garrison in the Western Regions provide troops to gather troops in its Qiancheng.

Then, as the protector of the Western Regions, he ordered the seven kingdoms of Shanbei, including Qiuzi, Yanqi, Gumo, Wensu, Weisu, Jimi, and Cheshi, and ordered the seven kingdoms of Shanbei to send troops and horses together to attack the small Kunmi Atami of Wusun and capture him.

He wants to formally form the Western Regions United Army, level the territory of Xiao Kunmi, and make him pay the price for his "evil deeds".
