Chapter 199: Sudden Change in the Storm

Within a few days, Dawan changed the situation, affecting the nerves of the Western Regions.

After the Han chariot cavalry general ordered the advertising of the Western Regions countries, the first people who reacted were the merchants.

A large number of Hu merchants to the west began to change to the Wusun route.

Even the Kangju, Yueshi, and Shenshu merchants who came from the Weishui Valley began to reduce the number of people entering the country.

The once thriving Silk Road became depressed overnight.

No way, businessmen are a group that knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Under the clouds of war, no fool is willing to risk the possibility of being drawn into the war and continue to cross the border from Dawan.

The decrease in business travel was immediately noticed by the Dawan people.

After all, spring and summer are the most prosperous seasons of the Silk Road.

Even in the past, when the Silk Road was clamped down by the Huns, there were three to five caravans every day, coming from the west of the Green Ridge and entering the territory of Dawan.

They brought gold, treasures, curiosities, and news from afar.

And Wanren only needs to do one thing - prepare the silk, and they can pocket these wealth.

After all, few people were willing to continue to venture deep into the Far East to face the terrible dangers of the Huns.

But now, the number of caravans from the west has dropped to two per day.

As for the number of business trips to the west, it has fallen to almost zero.

The Dawan people immediately panicked.

Because, during the last Dawan War, it was also like this.

The prosperous Silk Road was cut off overnight.

Then, the Han cavalry appeared on the border, and a long war that lasted four years ensued.

The blood and tears of the Dawan people were all drained.

Wealth was burned, cities were burned, temples were pushed, people were taken captive, and eventually even the king was killed and taken away.

In a panic, Wan Wang Yincai ordered to gather the armies of Wubao and cities in various places, and expand the corps.

The legions of the Dawan people, compared to their ancestors, are basically not much different.

They followed Alexander's army composition.

The main force was heavy infantry with spears up to five meters long and equipped with simple shields that could be crushed on the arm.

These heavy infantry fought in phalanxes, which were generally a sixteen by sixteen battle array, which the Greeks called 'squadrons'.

During the battle, the soldiers in the first five rows of the squadron held their spears flat, and the soldiers in the rear of the phalanx moved forward in turn, so they formed an almost invincible hedgehog array in the front, which would make the enemy quite uncomfortable whether it was attacking or defending.

But such a combat phalanx will be very uncomfortable in the face of flank and rear threats.

So, during the time of Alexander, the Macedonians reformed it.

Around the phalanx of heavy infantry, add spear and shield soldiers and slingers accompanying cavalry and cover.

Generally speaking, the Dawan people are more accustomed to having a squadron of cavalry and corresponding spears, shields, and slingers for every five squadrons.

After the end of the Dawan War, the Dawan people eliminated the original accompanying spear and shield soldiers and slingers, and replaced them with a squadron of archers and light infantry to cover the phalanx, providing medium and close range of fire to cover and contain.

Therefore, Dawan is one

The combat strength of each legion is about 1,600 people.

The spear heavy infantry was the main force, and the light cavalry, archers and light infantry were the auxiliary forces.

With Yin Cai's order, in Guishan City alone, the Dawan Kingdom concentrated six legions and a light cavalry corps composed of Cypriot cavalry in a few days.

As these armies gathered, Yin Cai and his nobles finally felt a sense of security.

At this time, the intelligence from the Western Regions was long overdue.

"It turns out that it's just like this......" Yin Cai let out a long breath after reading the information, and the whole person relaxed: "Then it doesn't matter!" ”

Expelled Dawan as a 'minister of the Han Dynasty' and declared Dawan an enemy?

What kind of punishment is this?

It's just a mouth cannon, and I'm afraid the lethality is not as good as the slingshot that children play with when they play at home!

Yin Cai pursed her lips and laughed.

Immediately, he remembered something, and immediately called his retainers and ordered him: "Send someone to recall the mission that has already departed at once, and let them come back at once!" ”

The mission to the Han Dynasty brought a full 50,000 gold coins and a hundred bloody horses!

The stingy, stingy, and contentious character of Wanren is vividly displayed at this moment.

In Yin Cai's view, since the Han Dynasty had already declared that he and his country were 'non-Han Chen', they regarded them as enemies.

Then, those gold coins and BMWs don't need to be sent over again.

Just take advantage of this opportunity to show your iron-blooded style and unyielding manhood in front of your own people, especially the nobles and citizens, to win favor and consolidate the foundation of your rule!

But Yin Cai would not know that at this time, in the northeast direction of the Dawan Kingdom.

The border between the Xiongnu and the Wusun Kingdom in the Western Regions, this basin grassland surrounded by the Tianshan Mountains, later called the Balikun grassland, is now called 'Shule'.

Wusun Kun Mo Weng has returned and arrived here with his personal guard cavalry.

In the distance, the dragon flag, which symbolizes the Xiongnu Shan Yu, hunts and dances in the wind.

The cavalry sent by the Huns to meet him lined up in a long line to meet him on the steppe.

"This Laoshi Zi Du Longqi Shan Yu, it's really a big shelf......" On Weng Guimi's side, Yuan An Mi babbled in his mouth: "To be reasonable, Kun Mo you are the grandson of Xian Kunmo, and Xian Kunmo is the righteous son of the Xiongnu Mao Dun Shan Yu, the righteous brother of the old Shangshan Yu, in terms of seniority, this Du Longqi Shan Yu has to call your uncle and grandfather!" ”

"If your grandson wants to see your uncle and grandfather, it's just that you don't take the initiative to go and visit him, Kun Mo, you are here, and you are all in the king's tent......"

"Say less! Gridang! Weng Guimi sat on a special hanging chair, full of fat and swaying in the bumps, as Kun Mo, Weng Guimi knew the importance of this trip, and he would not call Yuan An Mikou a bad thing: "No matter how you say it, Du Longqi is also single!" ”

"Shan Yu!?" Yuan An Mi seemed to have heard a joke: "When did the Xiongnu have five Shan Yu?" ”

By now, the whole world almost knows that the five Xiongnu are standing side by side.

So, not to mention the Huns themselves, the countries of the Western Regions are also messy in the wind.

So that people of insight have already understood - no matter who can win the battle between the Xiongnu and the Huns in Mobei now.

I'm afraid that the biggest beneficiary will be the Han Dynasty!

The reason is very simple, now, the five Xiongnu are standing side by side.

The five parties each said their own words, each did their own thing, accusing each other of being a hypocrisy, and they were the real plows set up by heaven and earth.

It is even highly likely that you will have to pinch your nose to accept the presence of the latter.

Yuan An Mi understands this matter, and Weng Guimi knows it even better!

But......

"How many times have I told you!" Weng Guimi said in a deep voice: "Gridang, as a fox and jackal, if you want to eat meat, you must learn to cooperate with dragons, tigers, and wolves!" ”

The power of Wusun alone can't pry through the strong city defense of the Dawan people, let alone smash the army of the black-haired and brown-eyed Wanren with spears and shields!

"But ......" Yuan An Mi was very unconvinced: "Why should we cooperate with the Huns? ”

"If you have to cooperate, why don't you find someone from the Han Dynasty?"

"It's a big deal, we sold the gold, silk, treasures, and beauties we found from Dawan to the Han Dynasty people in exchange for the armor and weapons of the Han Dynasty......"

Weng Guimi shook his head and asked, "Gridang, have you ever seen a tiger eat?" ”

Yuan Anmi was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Of course I have seen it, I have also hunted several tigers!" Kunmo, the cushions in my vault are made of tiger skins, don't you know? ”

Weng Guimi looked at his stupid brother, sighed, and said, "Since you have seen the tiger eat, then, Gridang, let me ask you, when have you ever seen the tiger have left meat?" ”

"The nature of the tiger is cruel and greedy, and the appetite is very big, and it can eat most of the horses in one meal......"

"Even if it's leftovers, it won't be thrown to the jackal fox, but will be dragged back, fed to his own children, or hidden as food for the next day!"

"Moreover, tigers have a strong desire for monopoly and control, and they will not let any jackals and foxes that come into their sight have the possibility of stealing food......

"What about the tigers, what about the dragons?"

Weng Guimi raised his head, looked at the blue sky, and said, "A strange beast like a dragon, if it catches prey, would you like to leave a little bit for others?" ”

"I'm afraid that even the belt bones will be swallowed cleanly!"

"Han, it's such a behemoth!"

"Is that an exaggeration?" Yuan An Mi muttered in disbelief, he always felt that others had deified and exaggerated the Han Dynasty.

In his opinion, no matter how big Han is, it is just the level of all the kingdoms in the Western Regions combined.

It's stronger than the Huns, but it may not be able to get there!

Do you know what the messenger replied to last time? ”

"What did Grian say?" Yuan Anmi asked.

"The people of Wusun enter the Han capital, like a stream entering a river......"

"And Chang'an, the capital of the Han Dynasty, is not the largest city in the Han Dynasty, I heard that there is a Han city called Linzi, millions of people, people in the market, sweating into rain, raising a curtain into a curtain, and even a curtain into a curtain!"

"Just the four counties west of the Han River, there are millions of people, and there are more than 100,000 sharp soldiers with armor!"

"There are no less than 50,000 people who control the strings!"

"With a corner of the land, it is enough to destroy the country and the extinction of the clan!"
