After a meal, Ma Yuan left Yumen Pass in the afternoon.

He went out of Yumen Pass to the Western Regions, and soon met with the Linzi camp spies who had arrived in advance in Liuzhong City and started his own operation.

At this time, it was the beginning of June of the fourth year of Yandeok.

Around the end of June, a news of unknown origin suddenly circulated in the territory of Wusun Dakunmi.

Xiao Kunmi Atami is planning to send someone to Luoyang with gifts, ask Guo Peng, the son of Wei, to marry the princess, and be willing to be China's son-in-law, to guard the border of the Western Regions for China, and to be a vassal forever.

The news spread quickly, although I don't know where the source is, but soon, it reached the ears of Dakun Mixin.

Xinli Mi inherited the position of Da Kunmi for only two years, and he was only in his twenties, and he was still a young Da Kunmi.

Compared to Attami, who has been on the throne for more than a decade in his forties, his ruling roots are not so strong.

Therefore, at the beginning of his inheritance of his father's position, there were 1,000 families in the Great Kunmi Territory who were deceived by Attami and moved to the Attami Lesser Kunmi Territory, which made Xin Limi very annoyed, and once led his troops to ask for guilt, and the two armies could not confront each other.

Later, elders from each of the big and small Kunmi came forward to mediate for the two, saying that they were both Wusun people, and there was a distinction between the big and the small Kunmi, but there should be no distinction between the enemy and the enemy.

Xiao Kunmi is a bit unauthentic in doing things, he should apologize, and Da Kunmi should not use troops at every turn, both sides are at fault.

In the end, Xiao Kunmi gave 3,000 cattle and sheep to Da Kunmi as a gift, and the 1,000 households lost by Da Kunmi belonged to Xiao Kunmi.

Obviously, this is a loss for Xinlimi.

It's not that Xin Limi doesn't want to take revenge, it's really that Atami's military strength is stronger than him, and he is also more prestigious.

Not long after he ascended the throne, he was still very young and lacked prestige, and if he really wanted to fight, it was estimated that Da Kunmi's subordinates might not be able to fight for Xinli wholeheartedly.

After feeling the internal doubts and weakness, the old qualified person of Xinlimi's father came forward to find the old man on Atami's side to do crisis public relations and launch a diplomatic offensive.

finally reluctantly saved a little face for Xinlimi, otherwise if it really started, Xinlimi was very likely to be defeated.

However, after this incident, some of Da Kunmi's subordinates directly thought that Xin Li was weak and not a male master to rely on, and they had feelings of distrust towards him.

This can't be blamed on the new force, the big and small Kunmi have had a bit of a problem from the beginning of their birth.

Da Kunmi was established entirely with the support of the Han Empire, which was equivalent to a servant regime and a puppet regime of the Han Empire.

The Han Empire originally intended to want the first Great Kunmi to be the lord of Wusun, but the Wusun people did not admit it, strongly resisted, and had no choice but to toss out the big and small Kunmi.

But because the emergence of Da Kunmi relied on the prestige and coercion of the Han Empire, Xiao Kunmi was the real lord of Wusun in the hearts of the Wusun people, so although Da Kunmi was powerful, Xiao Kunmi had the hearts of the people.

For hundreds of years, there have been constant contradictions and disputes between the big and small Kunmi, but the moral disadvantage of the big Kunmi runs throughout, and the small Kunmi has a traditional moral advantage.

After so many years, the power of the big Kunmi is actually weakening, but the small Kunmi is increasing, and the population of the big and small Kunmi is already about the same, and the little Kunmi still has a faint upper hand.

Because of this, when the Wei Empire returned to the Western Regions, Da Kun Mi was more active and active than Xiao Kun Mi.

Xin Limi is plotting how to use the prestige of the Wei Empire to his advantage.

For this reason, he also took out the bloodline of Princess Xie Wu, who didn't know if there was any, just to make a little benefit here in the Wei Empire.

As a result, I suddenly heard that Xiao Kunmi Atami was going to send someone to Luoyang to marry the princess of Wei, please become a country of Weng's son-in-law with Wei, and guard the border for Wei forever.

As soon as the news reached Xinlimi's side, Xinlimi was immediately shocked.

He immediately called the elders of the clan and discussed the matter with the elders of the clan.

The incident happened suddenly, and the elders of the clan were also very surprised, and after careful inquiry, they found that the news could not find a specific source, so it spread inexplicably, and they were suspicious of it.

"I only know that Wei Tianzi has established a prince, and I have never heard that Wei Tianzi has a princess, who did Atami ask for? Is this news true? Isn't it a rumor? ”

One of the respected elders offered his opinion.

This view is shared by everyone, and the source should be further investigated to determine whether it is true.

Xin Limi seemed a little impatient.

"I'll send someone to check immediately, but whether this news is confirmed or not, we have to make two preparations, if Atami really has that plan, no matter what, we can't let him go to Luoyang!"

Xin Limi's eyes flashed with coldness, and his words were full of murderous intent.

Some people are worried about this, but they don't know how to refute Xinlimi.

The situation of the people in the territory of Da Kunmi is not good for a day or two, the foundation was unstable when the business was established, and if you can't hug the big thick legs of the Wei Empire now, the future is worrying.

And if Atami hugs the thigh of the Wei Empire in turn, the situation will be even more dangerous, and the transposition of Kunmi is small, and life and death are big.

Although it is said to the outside that Kunmi is a family, it really wants to become a family......

Who wants to give up their current position and power?

There has always been a unified voice within the body, but this voice cannot resist the leadership of both sides.

Neither leadership wants to lose its vested interests and become victims of a unified framework.

Therefore, unless the war is decided or lost, there is no unity.

Everyone should know this, so no one will dispute it, and they don't know how.

Xinlimi fell, and they had no good fruit to eat.

So Xinlimi began to make two-handed preparations, while investigating the source and authenticity, and secretly preparing a team.

If necessary, set off for Luoyang first, and wait for the opportunity to trap or even intercept Atami's courtship, if that is the case.

And in the heart of the new force, a bold idea has appeared.

Whether this is true or not, he has already decided to start planning.

Almost exactly the same thing happened in Xiao Kunmi's territory, I don't know when it started, I don't know where it started, and the news that Da Kunmi was going to send someone to Luoyang to ask Wei Tianzi for marriage spread.

Atami immediately convened a meeting to discuss the matter, and made almost the same decision as Xinlimi.

The difference is that Da Kunmi's innate advantage in this matter makes Atami feel tricky.

In order to curry favor with Wei, Xin Limi, this guy will do whatever it takes, and he actually claims to be the descendant of Princess Xie Wu, with the blood of the Han family, and he was a family hundreds of years ago, so as to win the favor of the Wei State Business Traveler.

At that time, Attami really wanted to kill him.

The stakes are too great to be reckless, nor can we start a war at will.

Although Atami has an advantage at the military level, Xinli Mi is not without the power to fight back, and the strength of the two sides is not much different.

So the original plan of Atami was to use his own advantages and constantly bleed Xinli Mi through long-term small-scale friction and disputes, so that he would continue to become weak and powerless.

When the time comes, we will destroy the forces of Xinli in one fell swoop and complete the unification of Wusun.

But who knew that a fierce Wei Empire would be killed halfway.

The Wei Empire's strategy of returning to the Western Regions became the biggest uncontrollable variable in Atami's plan, he could control his subordinates, and even influence some surrounding countries, but he could not influence the Wei Empire in any way.

So the situation became unfavorable for him.

And Xin Limi was ecstatic in the face of the return of the Wei Empire to the Western Regions, and almost immediately sent people to worship the Emperor of Wei, striving to become a vassal state and return to the arms of the father of the Central Empire.

Under the anger of Atami, he also had to follow the flow and become a vassal state of Wei Tianzi, otherwise once he was isolated, it would be difficult to do things.

I don't know if the time comes, Xinli Mi will join forces with other countries to target Atami, and that's the end of it.

Although he had to become a vassal of Wei Tianzi, Attami was not as [spineless] as Xinlimi, and he still never gave up his plan to kill Xinlimi and unify Wusun.

Now I suddenly heard the news that Xin Limi was trying to ask Wei Tianzi for marriage, and I suddenly felt bad.

If he wants to make this happen, it will be impossible for him to unify Wusun at all.

If he succeeds, the Wei Empire will inevitably stand here to consolidate the relationship with the Great Kunmi, support the Great Kunmi, and suppress himself, and once the war is set off, it will inevitably be interfered by the Wei Empire.

He really didn't have the confidence to fight against the Wei Empire.

Therefore, Atami hated Xinli very much, but he had to be very jealous of him.

Now that he heard the news, his decision was more resolute and faster than that of Xinlimi, and he reached a reunification within him sooner.

Xinlimi must not be allowed to achieve this goal, if there is a real one, so it is necessary to send someone to find out the news immediately.

Second, even if there is no such thing, Attami feels that it is necessary to strike first, and no matter what, he can't let Xinli Mi do it.

Therefore, it was suggested that Attami should immediately send elite cavalry to be divided into pieces, monitor the necessary road from the Great Kunmi Territory to Luoyang, and immediately detain and hinder the courting team of the Great Kunmi Territory once it is discovered.

It has to be preemptive!

But that doesn't seem to be enough.

Atami suddenly had a bold idea.

"If he can do it, can't I?"

Prepare with both hands, definitely with both hands!

The strange collision of information produced fluctuations within Kunmi and Kunmi that they themselves had not anticipated.

Soon, such fluctuations were detected by spies on both sides.

Not to mention the level of secrecy, it is really important and terrible to say that Guo's technical protection for iron smelting, roasted tea, paper making and printing.

Compared with the secrecy of Guo's protection technology, their secrecy is like a child's house.

Soon, the various abnormal behaviors of the two sides were detected by the other party, and were transmitted back to the base camps of both sides, and the two sides discussed the detected news in the base camp.

They didn't know what the other's supreme power core said, but what they did afterwards was clear.

The Great Kunmi New Force has obtained information from the Lesser Kunmi Territory.

He had heard that Atami was mobilizing cavalry to patrol their way to Luoyang in the name of protecting the caravanserais, and then they had sent additional sentinels to the borders of the two powers, as if they were nervously gathering information before the battle.

Others, there are many large carts converging on the ruling core of Attami, loaded with all kinds of supplies.

The same message reached Attami's side.

Atami learned that New Force was sending people to the boundary between the two forces, and many material personnel were gathering from all over the country to the ruling core of New Power Mi, I don't know what the intention is, it doesn't look right anyway.

This situation suddenly tensed the nerves on both sides.
