(Next Chapter)

In mid-April, the weather in Juyan begins to change dramatically.

One second it may be a sunny day, and the next moment it will be thunder and lightning and a howling wind.

There is no way, the tall and steep Junji Mountain, like an iron gate, intercepts the evaporated rainwater from Hexi and the Western Regions, making the rainfall in this area the first in Hexi.

Especially when summer is approaching every year, the rainfall in the Juyan area is even comparable to the rainfall in the Qichu area of Neijun.

This is also the reason why Juyan is called 'Juyanze' and has become the lung of Hexi.

With abundant rainfall, Juyan hardly has to worry about drought.

In the summer, the military and civilians of Juyan only need to worry about one thing - flooding!

Just like now, the continuous heavy rain for many days has caused the water level of all the rivers in Juyan to soar.

Fortunately, before this, Zhang Anshi had already commanded the military and civilians in Juyan to carry out large-scale construction of water conservancy facilities.

Among them, the reinforcement of flood control levees is included.

In addition, according to the information of the old year, a low-lying area was selected as an emergency flood discharge area in the basins of major rivers.

The people of these areas were relocated ahead of schedule, and the local swamp ecology was restored.

So, when the rainstorm came.

With Zhang Anshi's order, the flood gate in the flood discharge area was opened.

A large amount of flood water is discharged into the dedicated flood discharge area, turning these low-lying areas directly into Zeguo, and through them, it is injected into the lakes and wetlands of Juyan.

So, in the storm, Juyan, who had often burst the embankment in previous years, was unscathed this time.

When the rain cleared and the people went out again, they found that the millet seedlings they had planted in the spring were still thriving.

So they rejoiced and cheered, and sang and danced.

When the rainstorm stopped, a delegation from afar quietly arrived at the Black City.

And Zhang Anshi personally led the civil and military officials of Juyan out of the city to greet them.

This mission was strictly protected and escorted into the Juyan official office with cavalry.

Until he entered the official office, among the strictly protected carriages, a person walked out, he looked at Zhang Anshi with a smile, and said with a Han salute: "Wusun Xiao Kunmo, I have seen the general of the Han chariot!" "The person who came is the Wusun Xiaokun Mo Nimi, who had secretly arrived in Chang'an!

"Kun Mo is serious!" Zhang Anshi stepped forward with a smile, took his hand, and walked side by side into the quiet room in the official office.

It has already been prepared here, with spicy and mellow liquor, the freshest river fresh in the season, just the right amount of roasted beef, and the lamb of the year with no fishy smell and a sweet aftertaste in the mouth.

"Little Kunmo, please take a seat," Zhang Anshi smiled, wanting to push the future monarch ......of the Wusun Kingdom to the throne.

"It's still the general...... "Ni Mi excused.

The two excused each other again and again, and in the end, Zhang Anshi had no choice but to sit as chairman, and Nimi accompanied him.

"Xiao Kunmo is here, please taste my newly brewed wine...... Zhang Anshi waved his hand, and asked people to pour wine for Nimi and his entourage ministers and nobles, and then he raised the blue porcelain cup in his hand and issued an invitation.

Seeing this, Nimi hurriedly raised his glass and picked up the wine glass, only then did he notice that something was wrong.

First of all, the wine glass in this hand is as green as green, and the tentacles are smooth and cold, like a treasure.

Then there is the wine in this cup, which is clear and transparent, without the turbidity of the mare's milk wine and rice wine that I drank in the past.

After tasting it slightly, the hot taste entered his throat, which immediately made his body warm, and he couldn't help but moan and praised: "Good wine!" Wine! ”

This liquor is mellow and spicy, and since its launch, even if it is liked by military generals and warriors in Juyan, it is really difficult for ordinary businessmen and people to accept this spicy liquor.

In particular, it is easy to get started, and in the past, it was known that thousands of glasses could not be poured, and the heroes of the wine field who were tested by alcohol may not be able to survive a few rounds in front of this liquor.

However, the nobles of the subordinate countries and the nobles of the countries of the Western Regions admired him.

Purchase in large quantities at any cost.

Even, there were Huns who took the captured slaves and the gold and jewels they stole to the ditch and plow them for wine and drink.

Zhang Anshi intends to make this liquor a new fist product for export and foreign exchange, so he will naturally not miss any opportunity to sell it.

Every envoy and guest is entertained with liquor.

Over time, Juyan liquor has also created some fame.

Today, nearly 100 stone of liquor is exported every month!

It may seem like a small number, but it's worth a lot!

One stone of liquor is sold for gold and one gold, or commodities of equivalent value.

Now, with the visit of Nimi, Zhang Anshi will not give up this opportunity to promote and sell.

"If Kun Mo likes it, it's good to ......" Zhang Anshi introduced with a smile: "So that Kun Mo knows that this is the best wine produced by my Juyan, the most mellow and long, only the eldest husband can taste the true meaning!" ”

Hearing this, Nimi couldn't help but taste it again, and then nodded: "What the general said is very true!" Only heroes and heroes can know the true meaning of this kind of wine! ”

As soon as Zhang Anshi heard it, he knew that the deal was stable.

From now on, there will be another liquor VIP customer.

Well, you read that right, Zhang Anshi is now operating the liquor trade as a luxury product.

It was only sold to nobles, so the price was extremely high.

Relying on such means to sell liquor, Zhang Anshi turned all of it into liquor and stored it for disinfection and treatment on the battlefield in the future.

Nimi put down the wine glass in his hand and said to Zhang Anshi: "Your Excellency General, the foreign minister is here to inquire about important matters, I wonder if Your Excellency the General can answer truthfully?" ”

Zhang Anshi smiled lightly and asked, "Kun Moke is here for the matter of Dawan?" ”

Nimi nodded and said, "I can't hide it from the general!" ”

"Didn't I reply to your envoy a few days ago?" Zhang Anshi said with a smile.

"Why did the general lie to me?" Ni Mi smiled: "With the strength of the Han Dynasty and the number of heroes in your country, how can you sit back and watch the Xiongnu annex Dawan?" He stood up, looked at Zhang Anshi, and said solemnly: "The affairs between the Han and the Xiongnu, the foreign ministers do not want to interfere, and they do not want to interfere ......."

"It's just that the small country of Wusun is widowed, and it really can't bear the impact of the competition between the two powers......"

"I hope that the general will see it!" As he spoke, he knelt heavily in front of Zhang Anshi, bowed his head, and bowed down again.

"The widows of the small country of Wusun?" Zhang Anshi laughed in his heart, feeling as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

If Wusun is a small country and a widow, what are the turtles, the charioteers, the chariots, and the end?

Pocket Kingdom?

In fact, as a traverser, Liu Xun, who is far away in Chang'an, knows and is very familiar with the current international situation and situation.

Because he has a map that goes back to the afterlife!

Although the ancient and modern changes have been enormous, the current Gobi may be an oasis in later generations, and the oasis grassland today may have turned into a desert in later generations.

Two millennia of weathering, river diversion, and flooding have completely reshaped the geography of many regions.

But basic

The geographical and geopolitical situation will not be easily changed.

Comparing the maps of later generations with today's maps, Zhang Anshi can easily find that in the continuous wars of the Han and Hungarian hegemony.

The Wusun people quietly developed in the Ili River valley area west of the coast.

Now, the Usun people have completely occupied the entire Ili River valley region.

This included the famous Tex Valley Ranch even in later generations, which was used as a springboard to seize the vital Issyk-Kul Valley basin at the northern foot of the Green Ridge, which is now known as the Lake of Fire by the Wusun people.

Zhang Anshi and Nimi didn't know that it was this lake valley ** pasture on the high mountain that gave the Wusun people the foundation of the empire!

The reason is simple - open the map, find Issyk-Kul and you will know: where is it? Kyrgyzstan in the future!

In other words, the Usun people have already set one foot in Central Asia!

More importantly, the Lake of Fire basin is an area that can be seamlessly connected to the Turks River Valley and the Ili River Valley.

Even the Manchu officials of later generations were extremely deaf, and they all knew that they would swear to defend this place in their negotiations with Tsarist Russia, and even at the expense of paying more economic benefits, they would also keep this place, but it was a pity that their arms could not reach their thighs after all, and this area was not kept in the end.

Of course, these are all digressions, so let's not talk about them for now.

For the current Wusun, as long as they occupy this place, then all areas of the Tianshan Mountains extending westward to Central Asia will be controlled by Wusun.

What's more, in this era, the Chu River was connected to Lake Issyk-Kul or would be connected during the rainy season.

This also means that the Wusun people may follow the Chu River down the Chu River and enter the fertile Chu River valley during the rainy season.

Moreover, although Issyk-Kul is a plateau saltwater lake, because of this, it allows it to regulate the plateau climate, so that this plateau lake valley basin is not as cold and water-starved as other plateaus.

On the contrary, it is a great place for livestock to spend the winter.

Even after 2,000 years, Kyrgyzstan's herders often come here to spend the winter.

Therefore, in fact, the current Wusun Kingdom only needs to seize a good opportunity and a good opportunity to expand its imperial territory and population.

Then, in the future, it is completely conceivable that a majestic ruler will dominate the east of the Green Mountains, dominate the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, and then move from the Ili River Valley to Jixishui (Tarim River) and control the Western Regions.

Zhang Anshi, who kept these things in his heart, knew that the Wusun people in front of him were nothing more than trying to fool him, wanting to lead the water to the east, and borrow his hand to contain the Xiongnu, so that Wusun could encroach, encroach and even take all the land of Dawan, so as to dominate the entire Green Ridge?

But......

Zhang Anshi's heart moved slightly, and he immediately laughed, and said, "What Kun Mo said is indeed not unreasonable!" ”

"It's just that I don't hide it from Kunmo, since the war last year, my country's treasury has been empty, and I can't afford to fight again, and the edict I will get is just to protect the territory and the people......

"As for the Huns...... a sneer overflowed at the corner of his mouth: "Today, the Huns only have four Dan standing side by side in Mobei, fighting with each other endlessly......

"Today, the Xiongnu in the Western Regions want to take Dawan in the west, but they just want to feed the war with war......"

"They don't endanger our security......"

"And that Dawan monarch and minister, but stubborn, just let the Huns teach a lesson, which is also a reasonable thing......"

When he said these words, Zhang Anshi deliberately showed a proud look.

But this is not to deceive the mud, but only to mislead his train of thought.

Sure enough, when I saw the mud, I couldn't help but think about it in my heart.

The Han-Hungarian agreement, he knew about it.

The Xiongnu paid compensation to the Han Dynasty, paid the principal and interest on a monthly basis, and exchanged the gold treasures and slaves for the armor and equipment of the Han Dynasty.

Han merchants, Han people, and Han officials in the Western Regions were not subject to the laws of the Xiongnu and the local kingdoms, and even if they committed crimes, they were not allowed to try on their own, and they needed to be handed over to Han officials for trial and judgment.

These clues on the above bright side are strung together, plus some gossip that he knows and hears.

Nimi had to think of a possibility - the Han Dynasty's chariot general reached some unsightly agreement with the Xiongnu Western Regions.

Even, it is very likely that the Huns attacked Dawan is the meaning of this!

It seems absurd and exaggerated, but it is likely to be reality - who doesn't know that the regent of the Xiongnu in the Western Regions today was a general of the Han Dynasty and was born into a noble and prominent family?

In the eyes of the people of the Han Dynasty, perhaps it is much better to support such a Xiongnu minister than to face the Twin Clan!

Moreover, profit is likely to be the driving force.

It's just that Nimi didn't dare to think about it, and he didn't dare to think about it carefully.

Because, just thinking about this, Nimi was already in a cold sweat, and his back was cold.

Obviously, it is easy to see the fact that if the Han and the Huns make peace, Wusun will bear the brunt of the first target!

The Xiongnu will not let go of Wusun.

The Han Dynasty may also be happy to see Wusun go to war with the Xiongnu.

After all, in the eyes of most people in the Han Dynasty, whether it was Wusun or Xiongnu, they were all beasts walking on two legs.

Birds and beasts bite each other, which belongs to a dog-biting dog's mouthful of hair.

It's best to lose both!

Thinking of this, Ni Mi hurriedly asked: "The general is not afraid that after the Huns get Dawan, their potential energy will be controlled?" ”

Zhang Anshi listened, grinned, disappreciated, and said with great confidence: "What is the way of the Huns? My army can be broken! ”

If others say this, they will be ridiculed and thought to be saying big things.

Dudu Zhang Anshi will not!

Because, he did once break the Huns with a division.

On the expedition of thousands of miles, the Huns who fought lost their armor, and the royal court and the holy mountain were all trampled under his feet!

For him, the Huns? It's just a defeat!

Where can you go if you jump again?

Nimi couldn't help but be a little short of breath, so he had to sacrifice his emotional card and said: "General Shenwu, he is not afraid of the Huns, but the small country of Wusun is inevitably bullied...... I hope the general will see it! ”

Zhang Anshi listened, grinned, and said to Nimi: "Kun Mo can rest assured, no matter how you say it, your country Kun Mo is also the family of our country's Son of Heaven, if there is an emergency, your lord can ask for help from our country's Son of Heaven, and then only need to give an edict, and he will be the master of your country!" ”

Nimi listened and complained in her heart.

Asking for help from Han Tianzi?

If it really comes to that time, it will take more than half a year for the envoy to go back and forth, and I am afraid that when the envoy brings back the edict of the Emperor of Han, the daylily will be cold.

Moreover, the purpose of his trip was not really to find the Han Dynasty as a **** umbrella.

In fact, he came to stumble the Huns.

The purpose is to provoke the Han and the Huns, so that when Wusun attacks Dawan, someone can drag the Xiongnu.

But now, his actions were like a punch in the mud, uncomfortably tight, but he couldn't attack again, so he had to smile wryly.

For several days in a row, the mud was in the Black City Fortress.

Every day, Zhang Anshi would invite him out for safaris, boating, and night banquets.

is to never mention the matter of Dawan, the anxious Wusun Xiao Kunmo, like an ant on a hot pot, wanted to take the initiative to mention it several times, but was used by Zhang Anshi to diverge in various ways.

Seeing that time is passing little by little, it is getting closer and closer to the period of march agreed between Wusun and the Xiongnu.

The anxious mud had no choice, so he had to take advantage of the opportunity to drink at a dinner party, and took the initiative to talk to Zhang Anshi again: "Does the general know that the Huns have set a date for marching into Dawan?" ”

Zhang Anshi blurred his eyes, and asked casually in a bit of confusion: "When?" ”

"It is set at noon tomorrow, Yu Shule swears to the army, the Xiongnu left general Jiankun Wancai, the commander of the Xiongnu General Wang Yuan, the commander of the Jiankun Wancai and the commander of the Jiankun Wancai, and the Weixu Wancai, and more than 20 allied troops in the Western Regions, a total of 80,000 troops, to attack Dawan!" Ni Mi told this secret that he had hidden in his heart for a long time, he looked nervously at the Han Dynasty general in front of him, and asked, "Your country really sits back and watches the Xiongnu attack Dawan?" ”

Zhang Anshi tilted his head and said with a smile: "What about an army of 80,000, even 800,000?" ”

"Thirty thousand people can fight?"

I think that the Han Dynasty attacked Dawan back then, claiming to have an army of 300,000, but in fact, the real combat strength under Li Guangli was more than 40,000.

The rest, not moisture.

It's just logistical baggage and auxiliaries!

This is common sense in the era of cold weapons, and the backbone of the real fight has always been a minority.

Most of them are soy sauce parties, and they are very powerful at waving flags or fighting tailwind.

Once they really encounter the enemy, they will be crushed at the first touch, and it is these people who immediately turn into the wind.

For example, in the battle of Tianhan Liding, the embattled name of the later generations, Emperor Gao's army was claimed to be 800,000, and Xiang Yu was also claimed to be one million.

As a result, on the banks of the water river, the combined troops on both sides did not exceed 200,000, and their elites were very few, and as a result, Xiang Yu was defeated, and the remaining tens of thousands of people immediately scattered and fled.

Based on the current situation of the Huns, Zhang Anshi estimated that the Western Regions could draw at most 10,000 capable cavalry.

The countries of the Western Regions, it would be great if they could put together another 20,000 usable troops if they died.

The rest are all crooked melons and cracked dates, and they don't need to be ignored.

On the real battlefield, it is estimated that the only role they can play is to use their surrender speed to delay the attack speed of the Han cavalry.

However, 30,000 elite soldiers, in the Western Regions and even in the entire known world except for the Han Dynasty, do belong to a terrifying force that can destroy the country and the clan.

Can the Dawan people hold on?

Doubtful.

If you count Wusun again, the fate of the Dawan people is almost doomed.

Even if it survives this year, it will perish next year.

Nimi was frightened by Zhang Anshi, he took a deep breath, and tried to persuade him: "For your country, the Xiongnu may not be worth mentioning, but for the countries of the Western Regions, especially the contempt country, the Xiongnu are like the Tianshan Mountains...... If it wins Dawan again...... I am afraid that the Western Regions will only hear the name of the Xiongnu from now on, but do not know the prestige of your country! ”

Zhang Anshi listened, indifferent.

Seeing this, Ni Mi had no choice but to stomp his feet, endure the pain in his flesh, and continued: "The general knows that at the beginning, the envoy of your country, Bowang Hou Zhanggong, went west to visit the Yue clan because of his great Wan, and he was even treated with the courtesy of the army sent by the king of Wan to escort him at that time......"

Zhang Anshi nodded and said, "I know this, but later, after the Marquis of Bowang returned to the court, the Son of Heaven of my country sent someone to reward King Dawan with gold and silk, thinking that he was a thank you!" ”

Beep Pavilion

He straightened up, looked at the mud, and said solemnly: "My Han family, since ancient times, grievances and grievances have been clear, revenge must be avenged, and kindness must be repaid, this is the custom of our country!" ”

Nimi listened and fell silent.

Now, no matter how stupid he is, he can see it.

This general of the Han Dynasty made it clear that he wanted him to make a price.

Only when the price is right, he is willing to sell.

Otherwise, he would rather watch from the wall and watch Wusun and the Huns fight for Dawan!

Maybe this Han Dynasty general will do everything possible to provoke a big fight with Wusun and the Xiongnu in Dawan.

After a long time, Nimi resolutely raised his head, looked at Zhang Anshi, and asked, "Then according to the general's opinion, what does Wusun need to go before your country is willing to agree to help?" ”

Zhang Anshi listened and laughed, and praised 'the children can be taught' in his eyes.

But his mouth was still magnificent, and he refused to stay at all, just said: "Isn't Kun Mo outside?" ”

"Your two countries, although there is no formal covenant, but my Majesty the Son of Heaven will marry Princess Xijun and Princess Xie Wei successively, which already shows that Wusun and our country have a special relationship!"

"It's just ......" Zhang Anshi said softly: "The state of etiquette in our country has always paid attention to etiquette and exchanges......"

"Your Majesty, my lord, has married the princess and your country Kunmo, and the princess of the two generations of princesses and princesses, and even has to deign to be the right lady in your country...... These things done by your country are not very authentic! ”

"The general doesn't know, now my country's Kunmo has abolished Mrs. Zuo of the Huns, Her Royal Highness Princess Jin Jiewu is Mrs. Zuo, and the eldest son of Mrs. Zuo is the son of the world!" Nimi hurriedly explained: "This has fully demonstrated the goodwill of our country......

"In addition, if the Son of Heaven of your country agrees, my lord Kunmo is willing to marry the princess into the Han Dynasty and be the concubine ......of the Han Dynasty."

"The foreign minister is even willing to move the whole country and take the land of Dawan as the princess's do......wry," Nimi finally bit his lip and said.

When Zhang Anshi heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, and he asked, "Really?" ”

"Really!" The road of mud is chiseled.

"Good!" Zhang Anshi applauded, raised the wine glass in his hand, and said, "A word over there is a decision!" ”

Of course, he knew in his heart as well as in the mirror that the words of this Wusun Xiao Kunmo were probably true for marrying the princess.

As for using the land of Dawan as a dowry?

I'm afraid it's just talk, just a name.

After all, even now, the Han Dynasty and Qiuzi and Weili occupy the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, however, they are still three or five thousand miles away from Dawan.

So even if the Wusun people finally fulfill their promise, it will only be an enclave, and it can only be handed over to the Wusun to manage.

In other words, the Wusun people can develop in Dawan and grow up slowly.

Fortunately, Zhang Anshi didn't really want to watch Dawan perish at the beginning.

He just wanted to reap some benefits without dirtying his hands.

At the same time, let the entire Western Regions, and even the kingdoms, nobles, and tribes of the entire known world, all remember one fact - Han, it is a power that you cannot afford to offend! Those who commit strong men will be punished even if they are far away!

Therefore, he agreed, not to mention how happy it was!

Nimi is still a little younger in the end, and when he saw Zhang Anshi's promise, he was immediately overjoyed, and toasted Zhang Anshi again and again, sycophants and greeting words, and sent it without money.

Zhang Anshi was false and wronged, and drank with him for a night.
