The night was already deep.

The mud from Wusun is tossing and turning on the collapse, and it is difficult to sleep.

It's been almost fifty days since I came to Han.

For fifty days and nights, what I saw and heard lingered in my mind.

"Han, I'm an adult!" I still remember that this was the words of a Loulan nobleman he had just walked out of the Pu Sea and met.

At that time, Nimi was disdainful, and only felt that the Loulan nobleman's brain was broken.

Chinese?

What is it?

What are the Huns?

At that time, although I felt that the Xiongnu and the Han were not the current Wusun powers.

However, when the two powers compete, Wusun can make a profit.

This kind of thought became even stronger when he entered the Hexi territory of the Han Dynasty from Yumen Pass!

In the land west of the river, the green grass is long, and the green mountains are lush.

The clear glacial water flows down from the mountains into the Heishui River.

The majestic Qilian Mountain faintly appears in the sky.

Fertile pastures everywhere!

It is more fertile and abundant than the pastures of the Wusun people!

Even though it was late autumn at that time, the scenery of the grassland was still beautiful and magnificent.

The cattle and sheep, which are extremely fat, are driven by the herdsmen to migrate along the rivers and mountains.

The Huiqu people, the Kun evil people, the Hun evil people, and the Qiang people are mixed together.

According to the rules of the Han Dynasty, they lived peacefully and orderly with each other in their respective pastures.

Just like the cattle, sheep and horses they graze, they are docile and industrious.

At that time, Nimi only felt that his heart was surging, and it was difficult to restrain himself.

These people, these former people who drew the bow, have now put away their rugged and heroic personalities in the past, and turned their original sharp teeth and claws into smiles on their faces.

Even the Qiang people, who were unruly in the past, have now become obedient people.

Under the protection of the cavalry and fortresses of the Han Dynasty, they had forgotten their former bravery, put down their swords and bows in the past, and instead lived a life with cattle and sheep as their companions and mountains and rivers as their neighbors.

The mud even suspects that they have forgotten how to hold the bow? Forgot how to fight!

Such a weak person, one Wusun Wanqi, is enough to suppress 100,000 or 200,000!

Let them be made into slaves, and let them obediently sacrifice their tribal livestock, women, and furs, and prostrate themselves respectfully at the feet of the heirs of the great god of wolves and ravens.

Nimi remembers that he had visited several tribes, accompanied by greeting officials from the Han Dynasty.

In my memory, those tribes no longer have the appearance of the people who draw the bow.

From tribal chiefs, to tribal herders.

They had forgotten the glory of their ancestors' braided hair, but instead tied cloth and put on the regular clothes of the Han Dynasty.

If it weren't for the tribes, there would still be herds of cattle and sheep, and the people would still live on water and grass.

Nimi had to suspect that what he saw was a group of Han Dynasty farmers.

Nimi also once asked a tribal leader of the Huiqu people: "The people who draw the bow have fed on milk and all things as their spirits since ancient times, and the gods reward the warriors and punish the cowardly!" Huiqu used to be a warrior clan of the grassland, and even the Xiongnu Shan Yu had to be respected! Why did Your Excellency succumb to the Han Dynasty and dare to be mediocre? was even shocked by the officials of the first and second Han dynasties, cautious? ”

The subtext is actually - why don't you rebel?

As a result, the leader of Huiqu looked at him like a fool.

As if to say, "Are you kidding? ”

Nimi remembered that at that time, it took a long time for the leader to say something meaningful to him: "I'd rather be a Han dog than a king of Yi!" The envoy did not know the greatness of the Han Dynasty, so he talked nonsense, and when the envoy returned from Chang'an, he would know that in this world, what a glorious thing it is to be a pawn and an eagle dog of the Han Emperor? ”

"What's more......" The proud voice of the leader of Huiqu seemed to penetrate time and roared in the ears of Nimi again: "The glorious Huiqu is a brave tribe that made an alliance with the Han Hussar General and the Champion Hou, and the great Champion Hou once personally promised that the Huiqu people who are loyal to the Han Dynasty can raise horses for the Han Emperor!" ”

"What a great reward that is!"

"My father once received such an honor and raised horses for the son of Han for more than ten years!"

"I hate that I didn't have a good opportunity, if I can follow a powerful Han general and make meritorious deeds, I can go to Chang'an to pay homage to the great Son of Heaven and raise horses for the Son of Heaven...... Maybe I can marry a noble daughter of the Han Dynasty, give birth to a few real Han Dynasty figures, and lead my tribe to integrate into the Han Dynasty and become a Han person! ”

It's not just Huiqu people.

Kun evil people, Hun evil people, and even Qiang people......

They all seem to have that in mind.

Rather be a Han dog than a king of Yi!

Huiqu, Kun Evil, and Muddy Evil are also forgotten!

Those Qiang people!

Those thorns that have given the Huns a headache for decades, even Wusun has been famous for a long time.

Hexi Qiang, Qu Qiang, and Gu Qiang, the Qiang people who used to love rebellion and destroy everything when they had the opportunity.

It was also tamed by the Han Dynasty and turned into a controlled tribe.

Sanqiang, who had been 'aaaaaal' in the land of Hexi for thousands of years, laid down their weapons and gods of faith.

Some Qiang people even began to establish villages, reclaim land, and sow crops under the control of Han officials.

Nimi went to a Qiang people's place of residence called Lefeng.

I saw with my own eyes that the Qiang people in this place, every household enshrined the statue of the Han Dynasty's soldier lord Chiyou.

When he arrived, it happened to be Christmas in what the local Qiang people considered to be the 'lord of soldiers', and in order to celebrate the birthday of this god, the whole village and town were filled with a festive atmosphere.

The Qiang women, dressed in colorful costumes, gathered around the campfire and sang the songs they had composed for the god.

The men, led by the chief, slaughtered a cow and sacrificed it to the 'war master'.

And the local Qiang chieftain, when he heard that Nimi and his party were going to the great Chang'an City to make a pilgrimage to the Han Emperor, he was very excited to take his hand and ask him to bring a handful of soil from Chang'an Weiyang Palace to them on the return trip.

Because, the leader of the Qiang people plans to celebrate the Christmas of the soldier lord next year, and use this 'sacred soil' as the most sacred sacrifice to be enshrined in front of the statue of the god of the soldier.

He felt that in this case, the great lord of the war would surely bless the peace of the whole clan, and perhaps even move the great son of heaven to send down an edict allowing them to establish a township in the area.

In this way, they can break free from the shackles of the 'Qiang people' and become a respected Han Chinese.

At that time, the feeling of mud was inexplicable, and I also felt that these Qiang people seemed to have a problem with their IQ.

Han?

What is there to do with the Han people!

But now......

Nimi remembered what he saw and heard along the way after crossing thousands of miles of grassland, from the towering and undulating Great Wall, to the hinterland of the Han Dynasty.

The smoke-filled villages and towns, the men with narrow bows and swords on the roads.

It's just a small caravan, and it's heavily armed.

And those Han Dynasty cities are bigger than the other, and each is more prosperous than the other.

He remembered again what he had seen and heard in this level.

The terrible ironclad cavalry......

The horrible iron-smelting workshop......

The suffocating workshop made ......

Also, the sharpshooter that I just witnessed during the day......

"Yes......" Nimi sighed softly: "If I were a Huiqu, Kunxi, Hun and Qiang people, I am afraid that I would also grovel in front of such a great country, rush to kiss the toes of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and sacrifice loyalty to him desperately......"

The country is too strong!

It's so strong that it's beyond the limits of what all the people of the bow can think of about the world.

Whether it is population, wealth, national strength or combat power, it is not comparable to the people who draw the bow.

Such a powerful country, as it should be, will conquer the people who draw the bow.

Because, the people who draw the bow, follow and worship the strong.

It's strange not to worship!

Just like the Huns, they are mortal enemies with Donghu, right?

However, after the Xiongnu defeated Donghu, except for the Donghu royal family and some of the dead leftovers who ran away, the other Donghu people obediently knelt in front of the Xiongnu's horse's hooves and became slaves of the Xiongnu.

Unfortunately, and fortunately, Wusun was far away from the Han Dynasty.

In the middle, there are more than a dozen large and small kingdoms of the Xiongnu and the Western Regions.

This made Wusun unable to feel the power of the Han Dynasty, and naturally he could not talk about worship and yearning.

This is Wusun's luck and misfortune!

Because......

If you don't feel the power of this superpower, it's easy to miscalculate.

Mistakenly thought that the Han Dynasty was only comparable to the Xiongnu.

mistakenly thought that the Han Dynasty was not so powerful.

And such a miscalculation is likely to cause disaster!

Thinking that they are strong, the ants rashly provoke humans, and what they get is definitely a basin of boiling water!

"Uncle Wang......" Nimi remembered the man he had been hostile to.

The man with a chubby round face who always seemed to be smiling all the time, his cousin, Wusun Kun Mo Weng.

In the past, he always felt that Weng Guimi had a bad brain.

The Xiongnu, who were close at hand, did not make friends, but made friends with the Han Dynasty, bringing disasters to Wusun.

Now, Nimi knows that Weng Guimi's approach is the right one.

He also understood Weng Guimi.

If you don't learn the Han Dynasty and don't get close to the Han Dynasty, Wusun has only one way to die.

"Uncle Wang, what would you do if you were here?" Nimi whispered and couldn't help but sit up.

The two courtiers who had been kneeling in front of his couch immediately stepped forward and handed him a fox fur: "Great master, what do you command?" ”

"Let me ask you, is that Zhang Shizhong of the Han Dynasty sleeping now?" Nimi asked softly.

He couldn't bear the pain anymore.

By now, he's pretty much understood.

The people of the Han Dynasty have been showing his muscles and showing his strength, with the intention of telling him that the rise and fall of Wusun is actually not in the hands of the Wusun people.

So, Nimi wanted to ask for herself.

Han Dynasty, how do you want Wusun?

For Wusun, what was the plan of the Han Dynasty?

Nimi knew that the people of the Han Dynasty must have a plan for Wusun.

also definitely has a positioning for the role of Wusun.

And the person who holds all these answers must be the young nobleman of the Han Dynasty, the terrible man - the terrifying existence in the name of Zhang Shizhong, the person who is named Chiyou.

When the two courtiers heard this, they immediately replied: "Back to the master, the servant just heard that Zhang Shizhong seems to have been reading the official documents in the bedroom......"

"Very good...... "Nimi sighed softly, "I have something to ask!" ”
