Chapter 200: In the Dragon Court of the Western Regions
Weng Guimi followed Lan Yu into a dome on the side of the king's tent.
The Wusun warriors he brought automatically followed, and the Hun warriors of the Lan Domain were each responsible for the vigilance of the vault on one side.
Lan Yu looked at it with a smile and was silent, acquiescing to the Wusun people's trespassing.
This was unthinkable in the past - no matter who the Huns were talking to, they would not involve the opposing side's armed forces in security.
Not to mention the kingdom of a younger brother like Wusun.
However, now the situation is stronger than people!
The weakened Xiongnu could no longer afford the consequences of fighting with Wusun.
Moreover, Lanyu has already been entrusted by Li Ling - if you want to take Dawan, you must hand it over to Wusun.
The main elite of the Xiongnu in the Western Regions are all repairing and preparing for war in the private canal, and the strength of the Western Regions has no power to destroy the country.
They must unite with the Usun to form an alliance to have a chance of victory.
This is also the reason for this meeting - Lanyu took the initiative to invite Wusun Kunmo to come to the meeting in the name of Shan Yu Xian Zen.
And the Wusun people came as soon as they were invited, without even any hesitation or delay.
Self is also an expression of attitude.
"Venerable Kun Mo ......" Lan Yu invited Weng Guimi to the throne, personally helped him sit down, and bowed with the etiquette of a courtier: "I think you should also know the meaning of my Lord Regent's invitation to come here......
"Hmm......" Weng Guimi nodded and said, "It should be for Dawan, right?" ”
"Kun Mo Gao saw ......" Lan Yu quietly praised Weng Guimi, and said: "Dawan is rich, with a population of hundreds of thousands, and countless castles, castles, and manors......
"The Ronin Who Started from Douluo"
"Such a big country, if it is captured, whether it is my lord or your country, it will be enough to fill the stomach for several years!"
Weng Guimi nodded, this is a fact!
A kingdom with a population of Dawan's size, even in terms of the entire world, is a powerful country.
The population of Dawan is almost more than 400,000, and if you count slaves, I am afraid that there will be 500,000 or 600,000. This kind of population size, although it can't be compared with the same Han as the bug, is about the same size as Wusun.
Not to mention, the Dawan people founded the country on agriculture and commerce.
It has a large number of artisan groups coveted by the Xiongnu and Wusun.
They also have their own systems of writing, systems, laws, etc.
As long as you can eat it and digest these things, it will be an evolution for both Wusun and Xiongnu.
"Kun Mo ......" Lan Yu continued: "You are the Male Lord Mingjun, in front of you, I won't go around in circles......"
"You know, I know, the regent also knows, the depth of the Wan people ......" Lan Yu looked at Weng Guimi's expression, and said slowly: "Da Wan people are not so easy to deal with......"
Weng Guimi smiled and nodded.
If the Dawan people were easy to deal with, how could they jump to this day?
Its ability to survive independently to this day has its own reason and reasonableness.
Don't look at it more than ten years ago, the people of the Han Dynasty pressed Dawan to the ground and rubbed it wantonly, stepping on the national character and dignity of his country into the mud.
But, what kind of existence was the Han Dynasty? What was the existence of the Han army back then?
The Huns knew it, and the Wusun people also understood it.
The Han Dynasty has fought all over the known world, and there is no terrifying existence of opponents!
Even back then, the Han army had to reduce its combat effectiveness because of the expedition of thousands of miles.
However, the Wusun and the Xiongnu were all onlookers who watched the expedition.
The Wusun people, in particular, once observed and examined the battlefield at close range, and assessed the combat strength of the Dawan army.
Therefore, Weng Guimi and Lan Yu have a number in their hearts.
This Dawan, on his own, can't be eaten, and he can't take it!
Even if you reluctantly take it, you may have to lose a lot, and the gains outweigh the losses.
"What is the General going to do?" Weng Guimi suddenly asked his question.
Lan Yu smiled and stretched out his hand, took a piece of wood from the hand of a nobleman beside him, and then revealed it in front of Weng Guimi, and said, "Kun Mo, please see, this is the Dawan Kanyu map drawn by our country for many years......
Weng Guimi looked intently, but saw that the wooden slab was quite old, so that some of the lines on it had been blurred.
He immediately smiled at Lan Yu in understanding.
At the same time, in his heart, Weng Guimi had already scolded: "Huns, it's really insidious!" ”
Judging from the fineness and color of this wooden slab, it was probably painted at least five years ago, or even ten years ago!
And the Huns at that time were single, but they were still the marquis alone!
In other words, as early as the time of the Marquis of Shan Yu, the Huns had already begun to hit the Dawan people with their ideas, and carried out intelligence and information collection for this purpose.
This indicates an important message - the Huns are probably preparing for defeat.
The high-level nobles and rulers of the Xiongnu may have been prepared to move west like the Yueshi people once they were defeated and lost, in order to avoid the attack of the Han Dynasty and migrate to the west.
And if this conjecture is true, Weng Guimi knows that the Huns must have other similar plans.
For example, the plan for Wusun.
Judging from the infiltration and influence of the Xiongnu on Wusun, I am afraid that the geography and situation of Wusun have been clearly understood by them.
Lan Yu took the wooden stump, and didn't seem to notice Weng Guimi's expression at all, and continued with a smile: "Kun Mo, look, is the geography of this Great Wan Kingdom a little familiar? ”
"Is it the same as the dangerous beard, the luxury, the Shache and other countries?"
"Is it the topography of a basin surrounded by mountains?"
Weng Guimi looked at Mu Mu and nodded, compared to the Huns, the Wusun people have a more detailed and clear understanding and investigation of Dawan.
Especially after the Han Dynasty invaded Dawan, Wusun, as an ally of the Han Dynasty, sent many missions to Dawan to investigate and understand in the name of Princess Jiewu.
Therefore, Weng Guimi doesn't need to look at the wooden stump, his heart is already as bright as a mirror.
The entire Dawan mountains and rivers, geography, cultural customs, and major cities are already in his heart.
Weng Guimi is well aware of the Xituo Green Mountains of the Dawan Kingdom, whose geography slopes from east to west, and is a typical basin country.
Among the country, there are mountains, plains, grasslands and other landforms.
The main city is surrounded by farmland and manors.
Rich in grapes, alfalfa, wheat, rice, the main cash crop is wheat, Dawan people are addicted to alcohol, not only nobles, ordinary commoners and merchant families, will build their own cellars at home, store the wine produced every year.
In addition to being addicted to alcohol, the characteristic of the Dawan people that Weng Guimi has heard of the most is that they are stingy.
Its people, from the princes and nobles, to the common people, merchants and craftsmen, are all the kind of people who are calculating and not pulling out a dime.
Many businessmen are deeply touched by this.
And at the other end of the stinginess, it is the arrogance and coldness in the bones of the Dawan people.
They seem to disdain to deal with anyone.
Even the Han Dynasty, which once pressed them to the ground and rubbed them.
They believed that they were of noble blood, and often ridiculed and made fun of the merchants of the Western Regions, and looked down on any envoys who came to Dawan.
It was precisely because of this that they attracted the attack of the Han Dynasty army that year.
That's why they're there
Today, once again recklessly offend their protector Han Dynasty!
To tell the truth, Weng Guimi actually doesn't understand this kind of brain circuit of Dawan people very well.
A country with a population of only a few hundred thousand would be able to sprout on the edge of the world at the foot of the green mountains, so why put on such a face to attract hatred?
Thinking about these things in his heart, Weng Guimi asked, "Where does the general plan to start attacking Dawan?" ”
Lan Yu smiled mysteriously, and did not answer this question, but asked rhetorically: "In Kunmo's opinion, where should I attack?" ”
Weng Guimi listened, also smiled without saying a word, and did not answer.
Although it is said that in the last Han war against Dawan, the Han army has personally demonstrated how to smash the Dawan people's Wu fort and city fortress defense.
However, the Xiongnu and Wusun were both nomadic peoples.
Inherently lacking the ability to siege cities like the Han Dynasty army, especially the ability to work in civil engineering.
This point, as a former Han lieutenant, Lan Yu's heart is as clear as a mirror.
Therefore, it was impossible for them to adopt the same marching strategy and route as the Han army.
In fact, in fact, the best offensive route is to take Wusun, from north to south, following the direction of the Green Ridge Mountains, and attacking the territory of Dawan.
It's just that......
Weng Guimi would not agree to this approach.
He had heard the story of the false Dao and the enemy, and it was impossible to give the Huns the slightest chance to practice.
Similarly, it was impossible for the Lanyu to allow the Wusun cavalry to enter the Western Regions controlled by the Xiongnu today.
Because, he was even more afraid that the Wusun army would not leave when they came in.
It's easy to please God, but it's hard to send God!
Especially now, when the sages seem to have ideas.
He didn't dare take the risk.
For a while, the atmosphere was a bit deadlocked.
In the end, it was Lan Yu who broke the embarrassment, and he apologized to Weng Guimi with a smile: "The foreign minister is reckless, please forgive Kun Mo!" ”
Weng Guimi smiled: "The general's words are serious......
He said softly: "It's too early to talk about how to advance and coordinate......
"Why don't you tell me first, what can I get from Wusun?" As he spoke, he involuntarily leaned against the soft collapse and closed his eyes to recuperate.
Obviously, this Wusun Kunmo was waiting for Lan Yu to make an offer.
Moreover, judging from his demeanor and tone, there is a posture of 'if you don't give me a price that satisfies me, I won't do this deal'.
This made Lan Yu a little embarrassed.
Because, the dominance has been taken away by this Kunmo.
This made Lan Yu's forehead start to sweat a little, and his mood was a little flustered.
He now regretted that he had promised Li Ling to come back to take over the matter.
Because he found that his opponent, that Wusun Kunmo, had a wrist and mind far beyond him.
Since we met, everything and my thoughts seem to have been calculated.
"It's really worthy of being a character trained by Her Royal Highness Princess Xie Wei......" Lan Yu sighed in his heart.
However, the current situation is ready to be launched.
Lan Yu knew that he had to reach a compromise with this Kunmo in exchange for Wusun's assistance and alliance.
Because, relying only on himself and the army currently assembled in the Western Regions, Lan Yu knew very well that there was absolutely no possibility of a quick death of Dawan!
Only when the Wusun people join in can they quickly destroy Dawan before the Han Dynasty regrets it, and cook the raw rice into mature rice.
Fortunately, for him, he already knew that the Wusun people, like him, were afraid and worried about the Han Dynasty's remorse!
