After settling the Han envoys, Gu Yi immediately flew out of the city and went to a dense poplar forest ten miles northeast of Qiuzi City.

There was a large felt tent in this forest, hundreds of horses tied to poplar trees, bowing their heads and chewing blades of grass, and all those standing or sitting were Huns! They are sharpening their iron blades, or adjusting their bowstrings, in preparation for the coming great battle.

When Gu Yi arrived at the largest tent, Daigo Ada had been waiting there for a long time, and he was carefully wiping his dagger with an ornament made of human hand bones tied to the tip of his braided hair.

"Servant Captain."

Gu Yi bowed down in front of Daigo Ada, touched the ground with his forehead and said: "The Han envoy has entered the city!" ”

"Good."

Daigo Ada put away the dagger and stood up with a flick of his braid, an additional scar on his face, the mark left by the swear of the knife. It's all because of the great shame suffered at the Iron Gate last winter!

The servant Du Wei, who enslaved the countries of the Western Regions, was beaten to the door of his house by a thousand Han troops, and watched them build a gate outside the gate?

For the Xiongnu, the passage of the iron gate was too important, and it was the throat of the king who entered the north and south of the Western Regions, and now the throat was broken, so he could only watch the Han army garrison in Tuntian, North Province.

If it lasts like this for a few years, the Xiongnu will lose most of the Western Regions, and the annual tax and iron will be lost!

Therefore, to commit such a big Daigo Ada, the sin deserves death!

Fortunately, the king of Rizhu still gave him the opportunity to redeem his merits, and after the beginning of spring, Daigo Ada took four hundred of the bravest Hun warriors from the summer and autumn pastures of the Rizhu Wang's department and the Bayinbrook grassland in later generations to the south!

Between Bayinbrook Grassland and Qiuzi, separated by the majestic Tianshan Mountains, it is difficult for birds to cross. However, between the mountain ravines, there is still an unknown sheep intestine trail, which is the famous "Duku Highway" in later generations.

The scenery of the Duku Highway is the best in Xinjiang, with snow-capped mountains, canyons, stone peaks, and winding mountain roads, but in ancient times, it gave people the impression that there were only difficulties and obstacles.

The ice and snow on the high mountains have not melted for a long time, and in the biting cold wind, Daigo Ada led the warriors and led the hardy horses to move forward with difficulty. They climbed over the formidable Tielimaitidaban and through the Grand Canyon of the Tianshan Mountains, formed by the massive red mountains, and walked for twenty days, wearing out a few pairs of felt boots, before arriving at the Dragon Pond in the north of Qiuzi.

Dozens of people paid with their lives just by crossing mountains and mountains, and the number of people was reduced by one-tenth.

After arriving at Longchi, he entered the territory of the Qiuci people, Qiuci has been inseparable from the Xiongnu, and the year before last he sat back and watched Fu Jiezi attack and kill the Xiongnu envoys.

But with the blessing of heaven, things have changed recently, and Qiuzi, who has always claimed to be the city of Guo Dabang in the Western Regions, has been despised by the Han Dynasty.

Lai Dan, who was once a hostage of Qiuci and had a status like a servant of King Qiuci, is now a Han official. He not only demanded the Luntai and Wulei in the east of Qiuci, but also made disrespectful remarks, which made King Qiuci very angry.

And Zuo Lifujun, who lost his territory, began to lobby for the king of Qiuzi for the Xiongnu:

"Lai Dan belongs to my country, and now Pei Han has come with a ribbon, forcing my country to land, and often hating Qiuzi, and he will be harmed. Seize the two cities of Qiuci today, and tomorrow will dismember and divide Qiuci as they did with Loulan. ”

"The big state of Qiuzi North Province is also, and the Xiongnu can be a Kundi, why bother to be a Han slave? There were more than 10,000 victorious soldiers in the great kingdom, plus the help of the Huns, dealing with the 300 Han soldiers under Lai Dan, and recapturing Luntai and Wulei was as simple as turning the palm of your hand over. ”

"After that, I will go east to attack the canal plow, and fight with the tens of thousands of horses and horses of the king of Rizhu, Yanqi, Yuli, Weisu and Wuchan Shogunate, and King Yili, why worry about the iron gate not opening?"

In this way, the Han army reoccupied Luntai Wulei and prepared to unite with Wusun, and the cooperation between the Xiongnu and Qiuzi was also negotiated in Longchi.

When the last master of the Zongheng family in the Central Plains, his father, had long since turned into dry bones, but the envoys of the Han and Huns were still in the Western Regions.

The war has begun, and there is no possibility of stopping until one side is completely defeated.

Guyi encouraged Daigo Ada to say: "King Qiuci said that a year ago, the Han envoy Fu Jiezi attacked and killed the envoy of the king of the sun without Qiuzi knowing. ”

"And today, it's a good opportunity for revenge! Guizi is willing to open the door for the servant Du Wei and attack and kill the Han envoy. ”

"Nope."

Daigo Ada didn't make knives for others, he smiled: "We are only supervising the battle on the sidelines, killing the Han envoys, and we have to do it ourselves!" ”

Guyi is determined to stand on the side of the Huns, but King Qiuzi is not necessarily. This old decay is used to swaying, maybe after achieving the goal, he will regret it again, and say that the attack on the Han envoy and the attack on Luntai were all done by the Xiongnu.

They had to be forced to get more blood from the beginning.

Daigo Ada asked again: "And that Wusun princess Yaoguang, what does Guizi want to do?" ”

Gu Yi has already calculated: "Prince Qiuzi Jiangbin likes Princess Wusun, and now the princess has come to Qiuzi, but the passage to Dahan is in flames, for the safety of the princess, why not leave her for more time?" ”

"After a few months, after she fell in love with Prince Qiuzi, she sent an envoy to Wusun to ask for marriage, what did the servant Du Wei think?"

"Wusun will agree?"

Daigo Ada is well aware that Wusun and the Xiongnu have often clashed in recent years over the fertile grasslands north of the Tianshan Mountains. In addition, Kunmi Weng Guimi loves to relieve worries but does not love the Xiongnu princess, and obeys the words of the Xiongnu, which will turn his back on the Xiongnu and attach himself to the Han.

Gu Yi said with a smile: "Princess Han will definitely not obey to solve her worries, but Wusun Guo, she is not the only one who has the final say." ”

The domestic situation in Wusun was very complicated, and the grasslands and the people were divided into different nobles.

Today, Usun is effectively split in two, with the exception of Kunmi Ongu's control of Akaya Castle and the summer capital of Shosu Ranch. The crown prince of Kunmi in the previous generation, Nimi, was in the Seven Rivers Valley and maintained a neutral attitude between Han and Hungary. Kunmi's Zuo wife, the Xiongnu princess and her son Wu Tu, also have a certain amount of power, and their hearts are towards the Xiongnu.

When the situation in the Western Regions is favorable to the Han Dynasty, Princess Xie Wei may still be able to make some noise.

And when the situation is completely biased towards the Huns, even if the princess misses her homeland, she will be alone.

This Guyi and Qiuzi really had a good idea, using the hands of the Xiongnu to expel the Han army, and marrying the neighboring Wusun, so as to maintain their status as a great state in the northern province.

The servant Duwei had the intention of asking Princess Yaoguang and Prince Wannian to bring them back to the Richai royal court as hostages, but Gui Zi would not let go easily, so he had to give up.

He suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, what is the name of the Han envoy?" ”

"The name is Ren Hong, and others call him Ren Hong."

"Ren Hong, Ren Hong?"

Daigo Ada touched his braids, listening to the pronunciation of this Chinese name, and the "Ren Shilang" who built an iron gate and humiliated the Huns is the same surname, how can it be so coincidental!

"Could it be that Ren Hong and Ren Shilang are ...... Brothers? ”

Forget it, grab it and ask first.

So Daigo Ada asked, "What is the Han envoy doing now?" ”

Gu Yi said with a smile: "The translator told me that as soon as the Han envoy arrived in Qiuci, he asked if there were any prostitutes in the city, and asked the soldiers to take a whole street of prostitutes and bring them into the hall for fun. ”

"I really didn't know that death was coming!"

Daigo Ada laughed: "Excellent, although the number of Han people is small, but the armor is excellent, I am afraid that the attack will kill and injure many people." Just let them indulge in women's sex, defenseless. ”

"After dusk, you and the others lured Ren Hong, the envoy of the Han Dynasty, out of the palace under the pretext of being invited by the king of Qiuzi to a banquet, and handed it over to me, so that he would lose his leader. Attack the building again, leave no Han people behind, and kill them all! ”

Daigo Ada touched the scar on his face:

"The heads of these more than thirty Han envoys are the sacrifices of the blood alliance between Qiuzi and the King of the Sun!"

……

Different from the conspiracy in the poplar forest in the north of the city, in the residence of the Han envoy, there is a different scene.

Almost all the prostitutes on the street were recruited.

Among them, there were poor women who had no livelihood and became prostitutes who cut their hair and wore shawls. There are also dancing girls, mainly run by Sogdians, who specialize in receiving merchants and merchants, and are dressed up in fancy clothes.

On weekdays, the prostitutes shuttle through the wine shops, pouring wine for customers, singing and dancing, and when there are few customers, they have to solicit customers at the door of their homes.

Of course, there are times when we do come to the door.

Right now, more than a dozen women were standing in the courtyard of the pavilion, all holding their heads up, waiting for the young envoy in front of them to choose.

Unlike the Sogdian merchants who were reluctant to spend money, in the eyes of the prostitutes, the envoys from the Han Dynasty were generous, after all, it was a country rich in silk, and silk was the currency of Qiuzi.

Not to mention, if you can be favored by the noble Han envoy and serve him comfortably, you will definitely get more silk as a reward.

Therefore, every prostitute is trying her best to show herself, highlighting her strengths, or plump parts, or slender waists, or stroking slender necks, smiling and seducing the Han envoys. Some people even danced the Hu Xuan dance on the spot, and for a while, a hundred flowers bloomed, competing for beauty.

And a few of the Qiuzi waiters were making a low bet to guess which one the Han envoy would choose.

"I guess he'll pick the car, I've tried, she's really good."

"I guess it's the Yue's girl, the asking price is the highest, and few people can afford it."

Ren Hong's gaze moved among the women, their ages ranged from thirteen or fourteen to thirty or forty, their pupil color ranged from black and brown to green, blue and blue, tall, short, fat and thin, and the overall quality was not bad, it was really difficult to choose.

Luckily, he already knew who he wanted.

Ren Hong's eyes were finally fixed on a chubby prostitute, is this person right?

But I saw that this prostitute was wearing a good dress, with a long skirt and a tie, and a wide-sleeved acacia shirt, all of which were fabrics of good texture.

But her figure had long been out of shape, and even if she tried her best to suck, her full belly still bulged out. The face is covered with thick powder and rouge, as if it is intended to cover up his aging appearance, but in this way, the already ugly facial features are even more terrifying, and the hair color is also strange, it should be a wig.

Grow like this and still come out to be a prostitute? The young and beautiful orchids were very disdainful.

But what I never expected was that in the eyes of ordinary people, this ugly and fat prostitute who didn't want it for nothing was picked by the Han envoy!

"That's you!"

The envoy seemed to be drunk, staggered forward, dragged the prostitute out, grabbed her thick waist, laughed and pulled into the house, and then kicked the door shut!

Seeing the lively Qiuzi waiter dumbfounded, the prostitutes in the courtyard also looked at each other, this Han envoy, could it be that he has a different hobby from ordinary people?

I thought that I could still entertain the rest of the officials, but I didn't expect that Lu Jiuyu, who found them, clapped his hands and only made one request.

"Don't be stunned, jump up! Singing and dancing in the courtyard! ”

Reluctantly, the women danced a messy dance and sang staccato songs in different languages, which drowned out the sound of the Han envoys in their respective houses.

And inside the closed door, Ren Hong was also looking at the fat prostitute who was dragged in.

You'll find out when she takes off her wig and wipes the thick powder off her face.

This is not an ordinary tank, but a Sogdian tank!

A Sogdian, wearing a wig, hastily shaved off his beard and dressed up as a prostitute, bowed down to Ren Hong.

"Meet Renjun!"

Ren Hong didn't agree, touched the dagger behind his back, and looked at it carefully after getting closer. Obediently, he found that people of different races really have face blindness when they look at each other, and after this person has a thick beard, he really can't recognize it!

There is no way, there is only one thing to prove his identity.

"Open the sesame door." Ren Hong said in a low voice.

"Open Sesame!"

The Sogdians immediately responded.

"Szabao!"

"Renjun!"

The code was matched, and both of them were very excited, like the underground party of the joint, holding each other's hands tightly.

"Szabao! It's really you. ”

Before Ren Hong came to Qiuzi to wait for the Wusun mission, because he was uneasy, he asked the Sogdians who were passing by Luntai to bring greetings to Shi Bodao in Yancheng on his behalf. It's just a piece of chess, and I don't want to use it today.

Whether there are ghosts in Qiuzi City, the Sogdian merchants who have taken refuge in the Han Dynasty should be able to give themselves an answer.

He looked at Sparrow's bare chin: "Your beard ......"

Shi Bodao laughed and said, "It's okay, it's all sacrificed to the fire." ”

Having said that, Ren Hong knew that the Sogdians attached great importance to beards, and Shi Bodao really paid a bloody investment in doing so.

Shi Bodao was also too anxious, so he went out in person, he didn't care about the details, and hurriedly said to Ren Hong:

"After receiving Ren Jun's summons, I noticed that there are ghosts in Qiuzi City!"

"In recent days, the second city is no longer allowed to enter or leave, and according to my bribe guards, it is full of soldiers, waiting for the arrival of the Han envoys. In my caravan, yesterday there were also people who saw Xiongnu envoys entering and exiting from the northern city gate. ”

"A catastrophe is coming, Ren Jun, you must not enter the palace for a banquet tonight, otherwise as soon as you enter the middle city, you will be harmed by the Qiuzi people. Now it's too late to rush out of Qiuzi City with the officials! ”

"No, I'm afraid it's too late."

Ren Hong touched the knife on his waist, because he heard the singing and dancing of the prostitutes outside.

Suddenly stopped!

A translator shouted loudly outside the building:

"King Qiuzi invites the Han angels to the inner city for a banquet!"
