Chapter 167: Talks
"Haha......" Xianxian Chan let out a loud laugh, touched his chest with his hand, and invited Weng Guimi and his party, and said, "Brother, please enter the account first!" ”
"Follow your will!" Weng Guimi bowed his head deeply.
The accompanying Wusun nobles touched their heads to the ground one after another to express their submission.
This made the Xiongnu nobles behind Xianxian Zen a little more comfortable.
Xianxian Chan then stepped forward, took Weng Guimi's hand, and walked towards the king's tent side by side.
It seems that in the past, when Lao Shangshan Yu was in power, Weng Guimi came to the Xiongnu royal court.
And when they entered the king's tent, the guests of honor were seated separately.
"Brother, I invite you to come this time to inform you of one thing: the Great Huns have decided to conquer the Han and seize the bathing ......" As soon as he sat down, the sages Chan couldn't wait to say to Weng Guimi: "According to the report of King Kunjian, the Han family has been defeated, and there are more than 100,000 people in the Western Regions, and at least 200,000 slaves, these are all wealth, and the Great Huns are willing to share these wealth with Wusun!" ”
Accompanied by the words of the sages and Zen, the Wusun nobles also whispered one after another.
Probably because of history, tradition, and customs, the political system of Wusun is very loose.
Its political structure is even more decentralized than that of the Xiongnu.
In the Xiongnu, just issuing orders, even if they are vassals of Wuheng and Xianbei, they must obey 100%, otherwise, they will only perish.
The two generations of Mao Dun and Lao Shang Shan Yu used iron and blood to establish the absolute authority of Shan Yu.
But in Wusun, this is not the case.
Because of tradition and history, Wusun practiced a primitive clan system.
This is a primitive system that is even more backward and inefficient than the tribal system.
Inside Wusun, it is divided into three urns.
Each urn is the leader of a clan and controls their respective tribes and armies.
Because of history, in fact, these three urns are not even of the same nation.
Zuohou Kundun is a native of Wusun, and the name Kundun, in Wusun language, is the meaning of Wang's shield. Because. In the Wusun language, Kun is connected with Mi and Mi, and Mi means the son of the gods, so. All the kings of Wusun, after ascending the throne, will add a character to their name.
Columns such as Weng Guimi, Weng Guimi, military mustache and so on.
And this Zuohou Kundun is Weng Guimi's eldest son. In fact, the status is the same as that of the Xiongnu's Zuoxian King.
If everything goes well, then in the future, after he ascends the throne as Kunmo, he will add a character to his name, called Nimi.
It's just that this mud shield is not in good health.
But the young mud shield was favored by many in his infancy - although he was still in his infancy, there was already a prophecy of the Wusun shaman that he would lead Wusun to strength.
Now. Mud Shield stood behind Weng Guimi, faithfully performing his duties as the King's Shield.
Next to Kun Dun was his cousin, Yuan Gui Nimo, the son of Wusun Dalu.
Dalu, the official name of Wusun, is probably similar to the prime minister of China, responsible for assisting the king and ruling the whole country.
It's just that this Dalu has a cold look in his eyes and looks at the eyes of the Huns. Quite bad.
Everyone knows that this Dalu is an ambitious guy, and more importantly. Recently, his strength has expanded rapidly, and with his huge financial resources, he has attracted the two urns in Wusun to make them tend to Dalu.
On the left and right sides of Weng Guimi, there were two urns who had already leaned towards Dalu.
Right Candidate Shassi and Middle Candidate Sas.
Sha Xiu is a dark-haired, brown-eyed man with slightly darker skin.
Shaxiu's ancestor was the leader of a powerful clan in the former Yue clan. Thirty years ago, Wusun and the Xiongnu formed an alliance to launch the final battle against the Yueshi, and it was the ancestor of Shaxiu who turned against him and caused the complete defeat of the Yueshi.
Even, the Yue Clan's royal court was set on fire by Shaxiu's father himself.
Therefore, in essence, Shaxiu is actually a Yueshi person.
This is something that he never hides.
Wusun and the Huns are also clear.
This time, the Xiongnu called for westward marching to cut down the roots of the Yueshi people, and Sha Xiu was the most active supporter in Wusun, for a very simple reason: not to destroy those Yue people, in case they came back for revenge, Sha Xiu and his tribe were definitely the first to lie down.
For traitors, Sha Xiu knows very well that the people of the Yue clan will never be spared.
Therefore, after listening to the words of the sages, he was already a little ready to move.
But Sass on the other side looked indifferent.
Sass had a lot of gold ornaments hanging on his body, wore a strange-looking pointed felt hat, and his face was the same as that of the Hun nobles, with a few scars cut by a knife.
As the leader of the Cypriots in Wusun, Sass didn't bother to care what the Huns wanted to do.
If it weren't for the gold bribe he had......
He didn't even bother to care about the tear between Kunmo's two sons.
Weng Guimi used his cloudy eyes to sweep over his son and ministers, Wusun's current situation, Weng Guimi was very clear.
Except for the right wait
Sha Xiu, everyone else is not very in favor of following the Xiongnu to the west to fight the Yue clan.
But as the ruler and supreme ruler of the country, Weng Guimi's experience told him that if he refused the request of the sages in person, then Wusun would be regarded as an enemy by the Xiongnu.
In dealing with the enemy, the Huns were never soft.
Therefore, after thinking for a while, Weng Guimi stood up and asked the sage Zen respectfully: "Venerable Da Dan Yu, how many slaves can Wusun get when you lay down Dawan?" ”
In the prairie, slaves are the most pillar of wealth of a country and a nation.
The strength of the Xiongnu was built on the bones of slaves.
Without the support of slaves, with the population base of the Xiongnu of only one million, how could it be claimed to be hundreds of thousands?
Without slaves, it would be even more impossible for Wusun to raise tens of thousands of cavalry with a total population of no more than 300,000!
Since the beginning of human beings, the main theme of this prairie has been to enslave others and be enslaved by others.
Therefore, Weng Guimi's question goes straight to the key core.
The breath of the sages also began to thicken.
For Wusun, the Xiongnu were vigilant.
At least after the sage Zen ascended the throne, he was very vigilant about the country of his righteous uncle.
The current Wusun is not the little brother who needed the wings and protection of the Huns thirty years ago.
The population is close to 300,000, and the number of people is at least 40,000.
Such a force was in the west of the Xiongnu, adjacent to those small countries in the Western Regions.
The sages are really a little worried, just in case. What if the Wusun people continue to grow stronger in the future, but the Xiongnu fall into weakness?
In this steppe, the most worthless thing. It's the so-called feelings, morality and loyalty.
Therefore, the sages and Zen had to do whatever it took to tie Wusun to the chariot of the Xiongnu, and with the help of the war against the West, under the banner of eliminating the Han family. Drain Usun's power.
YY
Since it is with such an abacus, of course the sages will not leave Wusun with the opportunity to strengthen himself.
Therefore, the sages turned their faces and asked, "Kun Mo can't trust me?" ”
Even the title of brother was thrown aside.
The Xiongnu nobles in the tent looked at each other angrily, and if they disagreed, they took Weng Guimi's posture of opening the knife.
And the Huns, absolutely did such a thing.
In history, they can even kill their own father, let alone an 'uncle' who is already a little restless?
Weng Guimi looked around at the angry Hun nobles, and met the provocative eyes of these people without fear.
As a Wusun who grew up in the Xiongnu. Weng Guimi knew the personality of the Huns too well.
Weakness was a crime in the Huns.
In the face of the threat and intimidation of the Huns, the only correct thing to do is to respond forcefully.
"It's not that I can't trust the sage...... Weng Guimi looked at the sage and said calmly: "It's that the matter is big, I need to give me a promise, a promise to the sun, the moon, the world, sacrifice with a white horse, and swear with blood!" ”
Sacrificing to the sky with a white horse, this is the most solemn ritual of the Wusun people, swearing with blood. It is the most serious promise of the Huns.
Those who disobey will be abandoned by the gods.
Although, even so, even if such an agreement is made. In the future, the possibility of non-compliance will also remain.
But at least, if a certain bottom line is not touched, such an oath is unlikely to be broken.
Xianxian Chan looked at Weng Guimi and laughed.
He waved his hand. The ministers who made themselves excited sat down, stretched out their hands, and said to Weng Guimi: "Since my brother must do it, then Ben Shan Yu will give my brother such a promise!" ”
"Dadanghu, go and ask the high priest to prepare the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens, tomorrow, this Da Dan Yu will swear to the sun, moon, heaven and earth and the gods of heaven with Wusun Kunmo, facing the white mountain!"
"As you wish, noble plough solitary!" A Hun nobleman stood up and touched the ground with his head.
When Weng Guimi heard this, he also stretched out his hand, high-fived with the sage Zen, and said: "Thanks to the great single in love, Wusun will always be the Wusun of the big single, and the place where the sound is loud, that is, the enemy of Wusun!" ”
At this moment, Weng Guimi seems to have returned to his prime.
The eyes are resolute, the hands are strong, and the chest is high.
When the nobles of Wusun saw this, they all stood up and said, "Da Dan is in the place where the Ming Di is called, that is, the enemy of Wusun!" ”
…………………………………………
Out of the king's tent, Kun Dun and Ni Mo helped their father to their resting place.
It was a camp protected by the Wusun cavalry.
This is also the tradition handed down during the special period of the relationship between Wusun and the Xiongnu in the past, and it is also the promise that Lao Shangshan Yu gave to Weng Guimi: Wusun and the Xiongnu, brothers from generation to generation, as long as Wusun Kunmo is still the descendant of Weng Guimi, then the Xiongnu will allow Wusun Kunmo to have his tent and army in the Xiongnu royal court.
Along the way, many elderly Xiongnu nobles came one after another to salute Weng Guimi.
These people are all the courtiers of Lao Shang and Mao Dun Da Danyu.
As a descendant of the righteous son of Mao Dun Da Shan Yu, the elder Da Dan Yu raised his own brother
, hunting in the Huns, also has a wide range of supporters and defenders.
On the steppe, both the youngest son and the younger brother traditionally have the right to inherit a portion of the property from the father and elder brother.
This includes, but is not limited to, tribes, slaves, armies, women, and pastures.
The attitude of these Mao Dun and the old man towards Weng Guimi can naturally be imagined.
There are even some people who treat Weng Guimi as a monarch, and when they meet, they touch the bottom with their heads and shout: A certain little king, meet Kunxie!
This moved Weng Guimi very much.
In the distant past, Kunmo was not the title of King of Usun.
Kun evil is!
Wusun's hometown is in Kunxie.
It is a place with beautiful lakes, babbling rivers, abundant grasslands, and fat cattle and sheep.
Weng Guimi will never forget it.
It's a pity that you can never go back!
Weng Guimi sighed in his heart.
The former homeland is now the pasture of the Huns.
The current Kun Xie is a courtier of the Huns.
Moreover, the current Wusun citizens and nobles are also accustomed to life at the foot of the White Mountain.
Even his two sons. They have also forgotten that Wusun used to be Kunxie, and Kuncai is the correct name for Wusun people.
I returned to my tent and looked at the people around me. There was not a single Hunn, all of them were Wusun cavalry loyal to themselves.
Weng Guimi let out a long breath, looked at the palm of his hand, and was stunned to find that it was already soaked.
"Kunmo. Are we really going to attack the Han with the Huns? As soon as he entered the door, he couldn't wait to ask.
Fighting the Han people, Sha Xiu is the most active.
Not to mention, there are slaves to share.
"No!" Weng Guimi shook his head and said, "Wusun will not send troops, we will leave tonight, overnight, notify the troops, and prepare to run at night!" ”
"Why?" Shade asked suspiciously.
Kun Dun also said: "Father, didn't Da Dan Yu promise to share slaves with us?" ”
"Do you believe it?" Weng Guimi looked at his son and minister. "I don't believe it anyway!" he asked. ”
"The sage Chan didn't even mention how many slaves Wusun had to share, it can be seen that he just wanted to use and coerce us!" Weng Guimi sat down and said, "What's more, even if the sages promised me enough slaves to share the profits, I won't agree!" ”
"Dawan, it's not a small country like Shache!" Weng Gui said leisurely.
When everyone heard this, they also came to their senses.
In the Han family, everyone has a certain understanding and has had certain interactions.
That's not a soft persimmon. A large country with a population of hundreds of thousands in the Western Regions is enough to arm an army of tens of thousands, and relying on a strong city, it takes at least 100,000 troops to bite.
And how many people are there in the whole Wusun?
What makes Weng Guimi even more vigilant is: What if the Huns use the Wusun people as cannon fodder?
Weng Guimi doesn't want Wusun's warriors. and they were all filled under the walls of Juyan.
And without an army, no matter how beautiful the promise is, it is as fragile as a bubble - even if the Huns keep the covenant and give the promised slaves to Wusun afterwards, can Wusun protect it?
The answer is no!
This is as ridiculous as a child holding money in the downtown area!
When the time comes, the Huns will casually make an excuse. You can take it away.
Even turn the Usun into their slaves!
With the discipline of the Huns, such a thing, they will definitely do it!
The crowd fell silent.
Finally, Da Lu Yuan Guimi looked at Weng Guimi and asked, "Father, what should we do then?" ”
"After returning to China, get out of the way, we moved south to the south of Baishan, avoided the war between the Xiongnu and the Han family, and held the checkpoint!" Weng Guimi stood up and faced everyone.
After thinking about it, Weng Guimi added: "If the Xiongnu provoke, then we will resolutely fight back!" Then send someone to sue for peace with the Han family, saying that someone pretended to be a Wusun person and attacked the Che cavalry army!! Ask for forgiveness!! Quick"
Rabbits bite when they're in a hurry!
………………………………
At the same time, in the royal tent of the Xiongnu, the sage Chan was celebrating with his ministers.
The fat leg of mutton was sent to everyone, and everyone tore the fat mutton on the leg of mutton, and ate it one by one with their mouths full of oil.
In the eyes of Xianxian Chan and others, this Wusun person has been tied to his chariot.
In this way, the expulsion of the Han family's power in the Western Regions is already fully assured.
By the way, it can also consume the power of the Wusun people.
It's a double win!
As for the Wusun people breaking the covenant or escaping from the battle, such a thing, in the eyes of the Xiongnu monarchs, this is impossible!
The Wusun people shouldn't have that guts!
