Chapter 728: Decision
"Now the Northern Huns are almost left with their last breath, and they will not do it easily. After all, they still wanted to regain the glory of the Xiongnu royal court back then, so they had not moved for so long, and even did not hesitate to temporarily condescend to Kangju to recuperate. Yang Xiu said.
And what Kang Juguo asked for was the deterrent power of the Northern Xiongnu to accept it. They also achieved their goal, with the help of the power of the Northern Xiongnu to break away from the control of the Kushan, and the two sides can be said to take what they need. ”
It seems surprising that Kang Juguo and Dawan broke away from Guishuang, but the reason behind it is reasonable.
The Northern Xiongnu have been chased and hammered by the Han for so many years, and now they have weakened to the extreme, and they want to find a place to settle. Naturally, they didn't think about it around the Han Dynasty, so they could only go all the way west and stop at the border between the Western Regions and Guishan.
The current strength of the Northern Xiongnu cannot guarantee that Guishuang, the little brother who had been ravaged by himself at will, can only temporarily live in Kangju to survive.
And the king of Kangju also wanted to get rid of Guishan's control, and the two sides naturally hit it off.
In this regard, although Guishuang hated itchy. But as a result, Guishan is now in internal turmoil and there are constant confrontations between various forces, and it is impossible to reach a consensus to send troops. Second, Kangju and Dawan are relatively remote, so it is not worth going to war with the Northern Xiongnu.
Don't look at the Northern Xiongnu There are only 300,000 people left, but with the help of the power of Kangju and the geographical advantage, Guishan doesn't want to take it easily. If they are really in a hurry, they will directly attack Guishan and the jade will be burned, and it is estimated that most of Guishan will have to be defeated.
Never doubt the combat power of the Northern Huns, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the fall of Rome in history is a lesson in blood.
For various reasons, Kangju and Dawan finally became independent boldly, but no war broke out. Guishuang didn't seem to see it, but just sent someone to condemn it to protect face, and the two sides were fine.
The king of Kangju is also a shrewd person, he accepts it when he sees it, and he does not make a big noise and provoke Guishan, on the contrary, he is still trying to repair relations with Guishan.
"The king of Kangju is not a fuel-efficient lamp." Fa Zheng said in a deep voice: "As soon as he became independent from Guishan, he had already begun to calculate the Northern Xiongnu. According to the information we have received, they have begun to secretly contact Guishan again to prepare to drive away the Northern Xiongnu, this method is not ordinary! ”
Xu Shu saw Yang Xiu with a clear look and Fa Zheng with a solemn face, and suddenly felt so hurt. FeelingsOnly I don't know anything, and these two people in front of me have a clear understanding of the situation in the Western Regions!
Yuan Shu didn't have long to start Liangzhou, and Yiying's intelligence organization had not yet been perfected, and he didn't know much about the situation in the Western Regions. But whether it is the Fa family, where Fa Zheng is located, or the Yang family, where Yang Xiu is located, they are all land snakes!
Liangzhou is their base camp at all, and the Western Regions is like their backyard. After all, the Silk Road in the Western Regions is their main financial route, otherwise, relying on the barren land of Liangzhou alone, how can they support their great business?
In the past, they just didn't focus on the Western Regions, but now that Yuan Shu's strategy was determined, they naturally used their respective advantages to expand and extend their intelligence channels.
Playing conspiracy and playing means, who can be proficient in Han Chinese? Harem battles, power struggles, royal strife, and partisan divisions, the history of the Han people is full of power and scheming, and it is simply derived from language arts and infighting to the extreme. And the family is the best among them, and it is not easy to deal with this group of "simple" little white rabbits in the Western Regions? It was easy to use the commercial network to extend a dense intelligence network of various countries in the Western Regions.
Such a large and eye-catching target of the Northern Xiongnu was naturally easily detected by them, and even Kangju and Dawan were closely monitored.
"Kang Juguo is in a strange state of peace now, once we intervene, the balance between the three parties will inevitably be broken, which is what I am most worried about." Fa Zheng said in a deep voice: "If it is not handled well, causing the three parties to rise up and attack it, our situation will be difficult. ”
"Among these three parties, the Xiongnu are mortal enemies with us, and we can only make a fuss from the two kingdoms of Guishan and Kangju."
Yang Xiu frowned slightly and said: "If we really do something to the Huns, Guishuang will most likely sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but in the end, it is likely to have the idea of sitting and reaping the benefits." And Kangjuguo, most of them will not be happy, and the current Xiongnu are their most relied on thugs. They could not afford to lose such a powerful ally after they had just split from Kushan. ”
"What's there to be afraid of? It's just a small country with a few bullets, and it can be wiped out with a snap of a finger. Xu Shu said disdainfully.
He also knew very well what the countries of the Western Regions were like. Back then, the Marquis of Dingyuan relied on a few hundred people to suppress the countries of the Western Regions, and the combat power of these countries was not even as good as that of a small prince, so there was no need to worry at all.
"Having said that, after all, we are fighting from a long distance, and if Ankang does not provide convenience for our army, it will be even more difficult to fight the Huns. The Xiongnu were tigers in Pingyang, but with the help of Ankang, the head snake, it was difficult to deal with. "Fa Zhengdao.
"Why do we have to touch the Huns? Isn't it good to gain a foothold in the Western Regions under the pretext of chasing Xianbei first? Xu Shu said.
"We're going to prepare for the worst. The Northern Xiongnu have only escaped the pursuit of our Han people in the past few decades, and I don't know what the situation is now. Our move on the Western Regions will inevitably elicit a reaction from them. If they are lucky, they will not move for the time being or continue to flee westward, but it will not affect us. But if it really arouses the anger of the Northern Huns, and makes the other party mistakenly think that we are ready to continue to pursue them, I am afraid that they will jump over the wall and fight us to the death. Fa Zheng sighed lightly.
"With the blood feud between the Xiongnu and us in the north, it is impossible to react. Either continue to flee west or desperately resist, one of the two. After all, no one will believe or believe that we will fight for the sake of mere humility. ”
The tradition of the Han Dynasty hits you to serve. But as long as you don't keep jumping, you won't chase and kill to the end like you do with the Huns, as long as you run far away, the big man can't see it and don't worry about it.
For the Western Regions, Dahan has always had a laissez-faire attitude and has never been too lazy to take care of it. Except for the time of confrontation with the Xiongnu, he basically ignored this poor and remote land. Now suddenly do it, if it is not for the Huns or Guishan, who will believe it?
"So what are we going to do?" Xu Shu asked.
Fa Zheng's eyes flashed: "Pack your identity and send a small elite force to it." Try not to arouse the vigilance of the Northern Xiongnu and Guishan, first find a foothold, and then slowly figure it out. ”
