Chapter 207: Trade-offs

With the order of Lan Yu, the Xiongnu army suddenly stopped on the bank of the Yaozhishui River.

The people of Dawan did not know why, so they thought that their prayers had an effect, and they rejoiced, especially the nobles of Ershi City, and even held a celebration against Ares, the god of war, and Athena, the goddess of wisdom.

And the Wusun people are also in confusion.

However, their confusion only existed for a short time, and they immediately seized the opportunity of the Xiongnu to stop their march, accelerated their assault in the direction of Guishan City, and captured fifteen Wu forts in Dawan within three days, pushing the battle line to the border between Dawan and Kangju, and blocking the communication channel between Dawan and Kangju.

It was only at this time that Wusun finally learned the reason why the Huns stopped marching.

"The courage of the Huns has been frightened by the Han people and has become like rats!" After hearing about the general situation, the Wusun Sai people immediately shouted: "It seems that in the future, we don't have to look at the Huns how terrible they are!" ”

"What wolf? It's clearly a wild dog that was scared by its owner! ”

The other Wusun nobles laughed wildly and echoed Fei Zhanmi: "What Xi Hou said is exactly that the Huns are really inferior to one generation after another, and maybe in the future, we can also give orders to the Huns like the Han people!" ”

For this generation of Wusun nobles, the world they have experienced is completely different from that of their parents.

Especially in the past year, the changes in the international situation have also brought about earth-shaking changes in their mentality.

The Xiongnu, who were once worshipped and worshipped, were suddenly divided, and the pattern of five singles standing side by side was quickly formed.

The Huns, instead of being the most formidable opponent and the most powerful enemy in their eyes, have become an object that can be ridiculed and even humiliated.

"Fei Ye!" Sitting on the throne, Kun Mo Weng Gui Mi suddenly spoke up, interrupting the unbridled discussion and ridicule of his subordinates, and said, "Don't say that again! ”

"No matter how weak the wolf is, it will be easy to bite a fox who tries to provoke it!" Weng Guimi has a clear enough cognition, perhaps because he is so fat, so he can only lie down and rest every day, which allows him to see things that others can't see.

"Besides...... Do you think that it was only the Xiongnu who were dominated by the Han Dynasty? With the support of several slaves, Weng Guimi stood up from the wide throne and looked at his courtiers: "We Wusun are the same! ”

"Pass my order, from now on, all nobles must strictly order their subordinates to reduce killings, especially unnecessary, venting killings!"

"For women, children, and the elderly, pay special attention to ......"

"Don't use the knife at will like the same as before!"

Wusun, in the same vein as the Xiongnu, is two branches that grow from a vine.

Naturally, the problems that the Huns have, the Wusun people do not lack.

Bloodthirsty and tyrannical also occupy an important place in the genes of the Wusun people.

After the Wusun cavalry broke into the territory of Dawan this time, military discipline basically did not exist

Although they invaded the vast and sparsely populated grasslands and hilly areas of Dawan, the damage they caused was not much worse than that of the Huns.

So far, it is conservatively estimated that more than a dozen Dawan Wu forts and more than a dozen Cypriot tribes belonging to Dawan have been slaughtered by the Wusun Iron Cavalry.

The severed heads alone amounted to thousands.

Among them, there are a large number of old and weak!

Especially men and women over the age of 30, as long as they fall into the hands of the Wusun people, it is almost impossible to survive.

Because, in the eyes of the Wusun people, these people are worthless, and even a burden that will drag them back.

They are too old, and even if they are used as slaves, they lose money.

Even if it is used as a human sacrifice, it may be disrespectful to the gods!

Therefore, these Dawan people, unless they have a skill or are particularly lucky, as long as they fall into the hands of the Wusun people, they will definitely die!

Weng Guimi has been turning a blind eye to this.

But not anymore!

He was already feeling a chill in his bones!

I am even more aware of the terrible crisis!

However, his ministers and nobles did not have this awareness.

"Kunmo, why is that?" Fei Shemi immediately asked dissatisfiedly: "The son of the white wolf, how can he be the same as the Huns?" Besides, the people of the Han Dynasty may not notice us! ”

"The people of the Han Dynasty may not care about us...... Weng Guimi said calmly: "But the Huns will!" ”

"Fei Ye, think about it, the Huns are now suffering such a loss at the hands of the Han Dynasty, who will they look for to back?" Weng Guimi's eyes widened, staring at his cousin and his nobles: "You have to remember, Wusun, it's still just a small country...... An ant in front of the Han and the Huns! ”

"Even now, the Xiongnu are weakened, but if they have the opportunity, they will definitely attack my Wusun!"

"In particular, after the Dawan war...... "Weng Guimi was worried and meaningfully warned everyone: "Think about it, when Dawan is destroyed, where is the direction in which the Huns can expand?" ”

"There is a green ridge in the west of Dawan, the green ridge is high and precipitous, it is extremely inconvenient to go back and forth, its north is Kangju, and Kangju is a big country, and the road is far away, with the current ability of the Huns, the strength is not caught......"

"And its east is the Han Dynasty, the Han is strong and terrifying, and the Huns are afraid of it like a tiger......"

Fei Xuemi listened, slightly pouted, and then came to his senses: "Kunmo, what do you mean?" ”

"Humph!" Weng Guimi said in a deep voice: "It must be my Wusun!" ”

"The battle of Dawan, no matter what the result is, there will be a battle between the Xiongnu and me, and it will be a national war!"

"Gambling on the fortune of the country here, finishing its work in one battle, is a battle of life and death!"

Weng Guimi knew very well that the current Xiongnu was a hungry and bleeding beast.

Dawan is just its first prey.

However, a Dawan can't feed the hungry intestines of the Huns, let alone fill their empty stomachs, so they can only be regarded as slightly full.

However, it will not be long before the hungry and bleeding bodies will drive the Huns to embark on the road of conquest and destruction again.

Especially, there is a creditor next to them, armed with a sword, a gun, a sword, and a halberd, ready to come to the door to collect debts.

Therefore, Weng Guimi judged that the Xiongnu would inevitably attack Wusun.

Moreover, it will be a war of destruction.

The Xiongnu are now the gluttony of the myths and legends of the Han Dynasty, they are in eternal hunger, driven by external pressure and instinct, they can only continue to expand, conquer, and destroy.

The other nobles all looked at each other, and after a long time, Fei Shot asked stubbornly: "Even if this is the case, Kun Mo, you don't have to wronged our warriors!" ”

"Can the Han Dynasty still punish us through the Huns?"

Weng Guimi listened, shook his head, and sighed: "Fei Ye...... If only everything was as simple as you thought......"

"The Han Dynasty can't punish us through the Huns...... Weng Guimi said: "But, the Huns can use the power of the Han Dynasty to fight us!" ”

"Now, because of the intervention of the Han Dynasty, the Huns are probably full of anger and have nowhere to vent...... At this time, if our country gives the Huns an excuse, so that the Huns find an opportunity to make a fuss and pull our country into the water......" Weng Guimi looked at his cousin and said: "When the time comes, the envoy of the Han Dynasty will come to ask for the guilt, and the Huns will take the opportunity to make trouble again, and our country's interests in Dawan will definitely be severely hit, and may even gain nothing!" ”

For the Huns, this was almost a means they would have to take.

This is also human common sense.

Han, for the Huns, is really an object that cannot be provoked, which is clearly seen from a letter from the Han Dynasty that made the Huns' 100,000 troops pause.

Facing an opponent who is so strong and does not dare to offend, let alone exonerate.

How would a normal person choose?

Of course, it's to find someone else to fight!

It's better to find someone who can obviously fight and fight.

One is to save respect, and the other is to divert focus and contradictions.

Not to mention......

"I'm afraid the people of the Han Dynasty are also waiting for the Huns to go to war with our country......" Weng Guimi sighed in his heart.

But he didn't dare to say it, so he could only bury this matter in his heart and hide it in his heart.

Because...... At present, Wusun has no ability and qualifications to face Han at all.

Even if he knows something, for Wusun, the wisest choice can only be to be confused.

Only in this way can there be a glimmer of life.

Otherwise......

A chess piece does not have the consciousness of being a chess piece, but wants to dominate the crowd?

That's self-defeating!
