After more than ten days of long trekking and non-stop galloping day and night.

Li Ling finally arrived at the camp of King Rizhu at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains in late July.

For the current Huns, the status and importance of Tianshan Mountain is not inferior to the holy mountain Wolf Juxu Mountain!

Its status is still on the Junji Mountain, which controls the Xiongnu's entry and exit from Mobei, and the Yanran Mountain, which shelters the herdsmen in Mobei.

This is not only because the Xiongnu successfully forced back and thwarted the strategic attempts of the Han people in the main battle north of the Tianshan Mountains.

What's more, this mountain controls the lifeblood of the Western Regions of the Xiongnu.

The majestic Tianshan Mountains, like a giant dragon falling from the sky, divide the agricultural and nomadic areas of the Western Regions.

To the west, there are numerous oases and basins watered and nourished by the South and North Rivers, two ancient tributaries of the Tarim River.

To the east, there is an arid region of deserts, deserts, the Gobi, and a few oases (at this time, the Hami oasis had not yet been formed).

Therefore, Tianshan became the Tianwang Mountain of the Han-Hungarian battlefield.

Whoever controls the Tianshan Mountains will win the strategic initiative!

This is not only because of its geographical advantages, but also because whether the Xiongnu want to support the Cheshi and the Pu countries from the two foothills of the Tianshan Mountains, or the Han army wants to advance westward from Juyan, they have to face the test of the cruel Taklamakan Desert!

As a result, the Han and Hungarian wars fought frequently over the past two decades around the Tianshan Mountains, culminating in a bloody and brutal Battle of the Tianshan Mountains.

After the Battle of the Tianshan Mountains, the Xiongnu ensured control over the countries of the Western Regions.

The Han army retreated to Juyan and temporarily abandoned the strategic plan of a decisive battle with the main Xiongnu force in the Western Regions in a short period of time.

Instead, he began a long strategic layout, focusing his attention and focus on the Bailongdui area, which controlled the northern and southern foothills of the Tianshan Mountains and the Silk Road pass.

intends to confront and consume the Xiongnu here for a long time.

Little by little, it cannibalizes the power of the Xiongnu and consumes its national strength.

The Xiongnu also changed their strategy, setting up the king of Rizhu in the Western Regions for the first time, imitating the Shaofu institution of the Han Dynasty, and establishing servant Duwei in the Yanxu, Weisu, Jimo, Yuli and other countries at the western foot of Tianshan Mountain, and began the policy of riding the field.

Since then, the Xiongnu have shifted from a simple nomadic empire to a semi-nomadic and semi-agricultural empire.

Li Ling took more than 100 guards and went straight to the location of the king of Rizhu at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains.

And at the gate of the camp, the sages of the king of the day were personally commanded by his civil and military ministers and the kings or kings' representatives of the Western Regions, and went out of his camp to greet him.

"King Jiankun, I have heard of the name for a long time, but I have always been destined to save one, see you today, this king is even lucky!" In order to show goodwill, the sages even put on a wide robe and crown from the Han Dynasty, and they were dressed very elegantly.

This is because he knew that to become single, and to sit firmly on the throne, to gain power.

Li Ling's support is indispensable, and it can even be said that it is extremely crucial.

Because, the facts have proved that the tribal cavalry under the command of King Jiankun is such an elite and powerful force! In the war between this spring and this summer, in just one month, they drove the main force of the ancestors out of the two foothills of the Tianshan Mountains and controlled Qiuzi.

The mistake is not that Mobei is in a hurry, and at this moment, the sages estimate that their head has become the collection of Fox Lugu.

Li Ling smiled slightly, stepped forward and bowed: "How can Xiao Wang dare to work and slaughter luxury?" ”

His eyes couldn't help but look at the clothes on the sage's body.

There is no doubt that the sage's clothes made Li Ling have a great impression of him!

After losing his master and surrendering to the enemy and experiencing catastrophic changes in his family, Li Ling had already abandoned the southern return to the Han family, and then became the heart of Han Chen.

But his education since childhood never allowed him to serve Yidi.

The three views that he has heard and seen since he was a child and cultivated do not allow him to really be left behind and be in the company of Hu people.

Therefore, Li Ling's behavior and style in the Xiongnu are easy to understand.

If Weilu pushes for reform, it is actually for the sake of power in the end.

However, Li Ling's promotion of reform and sinicization was to finally turn razing into summer.

Just like Tai Bo entered Wu, although he was originally tattooed and was the same as the Wu people, his descendants eventually turned Wu into a prosperous country of Zhuxia Rites and Music.

It is also like the Taigong entering Qi, and Dongyi is summer.

In Li Ling's vision, as long as everything goes well, after a hundred or even hundreds of years, the Xiongnu and the Han will be the same.

Naturally, he can wash away the stigma on himself and his father's ancestor.

This way of thinking was difficult for later generations to understand, but it was very common in classical times.

The sages brought Li Ling and his entourage into the king's tent, immediately ordered people to serve wine and meat, and then asked: "King Jiankun came from Mobei in such a hurry, but what is the big deal?" ”

Li Ling didn't hide it, and replied directly: "Back to Tu Lu, Xiao Wang is here to ask Tu Lu to save all the departments in Mobei!" ”

"The cold winter is coming, and the livestock of all parts of Mobei have not grown fat, this year's cold winter season, I am afraid that the loss of people and animals is too ......."

"Therefore, please Tu Hao put the overall situation first, and transport the grain obtained from riding the fields in the Western Regions to Mobei to help the ...... of the same clan."

The sage listened with a slight smile on his face.

And his subordinates all jumped to their feet and sarcastically said: "The livestock of the Mobei tribes have not raised fat, is it our responsibility?" ”

"Who mobilized men and horses to besiege and persecute our lord to slaughter luxury since last year?"

Someone even directly threatened: "If you want us to agree, it's very simple, let Hulugu immediately abdicate and make way for Xian, and give Shan Yu's position to the great Tu Hao, the true patron of heaven and earth and the sun and the moon - King Zuoxian of the Huns!" ”

Li Ling turned a deaf ear to the words of these people.

He just looked at the sages, stepped forward, and begged: "Please also ask Tu Hao to focus on the overall situation and save hundreds of thousands of herdsmen in Mobei from fire and water!" ”

"In this way, in the future, when Tu Hao ascends the throne, he will be able to convince people and make all the ministries surrender!"

"Otherwise, the people and clans of all tribes will probably have to ......"

Xianxian stood up with a smile, looked at Li Ling, stared at him, and suddenly said, "Ben Tu Xuan naturally won't turn a blind eye to the situation of the Mobei Tribes!" ”

He is naturally clear about the affairs of Mobei.

Even, he may know better than Li Ling how bad the situation has become.

He also understands that in fact, he will be saved, and he will be saved!

Otherwise, do you want to watch the Mobei tribes freeze to death and starve to death in the cold wind?

Without the population, even if he sits in the position of Shan Yu, what is the point?

Reign over the air?

He knows better that he can still be the king and hegemon in the Western Regions, and the main deterrent power still comes from his identity as the king of the Huns.

If the Xiongnu weakened, the deterrent power of his daily king in the Western Regions would be greatly reduced.

Therefore, Li Ling's arrival and request for help were even a good thing for him.

I wish you all a happy new year and all the best~
