The Evil King of Huns, who was leading his cavalry to the east, had not fully realized what an important battle he had lost.

The victory or defeat of the Hexi Battle determined the final fate of the Han and Hungarian countries, and also directly affected the trend of history. More importantly, it will change the pattern of geopolitical governance and provide the prerequisites for the unlimited expansion of the influence of a great eastern power.

In the long process of historical circulation, there are four cultural systems with the longest history, the most extensive area, and self-contained, and the most far-reaching influence in the world. There are only four, and there is absolutely no fifth.

They are Chinese culture, Indian culture, Greek culture and Islamic culture.

And if you look at it from the geographical pattern of the world, the place where these four ancient civilizations have gathered together is only a piece of land under the sky. That was the place that was later called the "Hexi Corridor". That is, the territory where the countries of the Western Regions are now united by the sphere of influence of the two kings of the Xiongnu.

With the majestic Qilian Mountains as the background, it stretches from Yangguan, Yumen Pass and Jiayuguan of the Han Empire in the east, reaches the desert in the north, and reaches the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in the south. In the near future, this important area will play an incomparably huge role as a crossroads between Eastern and Western cultures.

The wasteland becomes an oasis, and the desert flows gold everywhere. Seeking common ground while reserving differences, silk wine rejoices together.

In all the history books of the East and the West in later generations, the formation of the "Golden Belt of the Hexi Corridor" planned by Yuan Zhao himself was given a very high evaluation. Some admirers have even likened this to one of the most significant events in world history.

Of course, it's too early to say all this. Except for those wise eyes and the huge hands that secretly hold the world, no one has realized the great significance of this.

As for the evil king who was full of grief and indignation, he did not have such a prophetic prescience. He and his cavalry officers and soldiers, now the only wish is to hurry to the garrison of Shan Yu Khan's army, where the troops are united, to fight a family, gather all the most elite forces of the Xiongnu, and ruthlessly destroy the Han army.

The evil king of Hun had already thought about it along the way, since the army alone could not conquer the three cities of the Han Dynasty, it was better to persuade him to turn around and concentrate his superior forces and slaughter the Han army that entered the western grassland. By the way, those countries in the Western Regions who saw the wind and made the rudder were also destroyed by the way!

According to Shan Yuyi's childish personality, after weighing the pros and cons, he will definitely agree. While it is possible that because of his greed he will put forward conditions on himself that he has long anticipated, but that is nothing. Even if he spit out King Hutu's territory and hand it over to Shan Yu, it would be better than the current situation.

The Evil King looked back at the team of terrified dogs, the cavalry warriors were languid on their horses, and the tribesmen dragged their families with their mouths, no different from the fleeing procession. He couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, the comparison between the past and the present is heartbreaking!

His three sons followed behind the horse, and several princes had seen their sharp swords and armor when the Han cavalry raided the camp, and the hundreds of Hun cavalry who stayed behind to guard the camp had no power to fight back, and were wiped out by the other party. At this time, when I think of that scene, I still have lingering palpitations in my heart.

It turns out that the Han army is so terrible when it is brutal! With the war situation so unfavorable, what will the future of the steppe be......?

Such a shadow existed in the hearts of the princes and many tribesmen. During the march, some emotions inevitably crept up in the bottom of my heart. Although no one has dared to say anything openly yet, secret discussions have already begun to appear.

The grass is withered, and the snow is light. Such a feeling of pride exists in the memories of the princes. I think that at that time, they were the masters of the grassland, galloping on the land on horseback, bending bows and hunting, and coming and going, how comfortable they were.

But now, they have lost the grassland they once dominated, and the direction they are going to go is to live under the fence and survive under the hands of Shan Yu Yi. The law of wolves pursued on the grassland has long been deeply recognized by everyone. The law of the jungle is the most normal thing. So, what is the fate that awaits us? The anxiety in my heart, after brewing, made many people's steps become a little heavy.

The princes had already whispered several times in private. During the time they were captured by the Han army, they had heard the opposing general reveal a certain meaning, intentionally or unintentionally. It is said that the Han Dynasty has always adhered to the principle of treating its belligerent opponents that if they can rein in the precipice, turn back to the shore, and take the initiative to surrender, then they will receive special preferential treatment. And if you can play an exemplary role or make a significant contribution, then you are more likely to be courteous by the imperial court.

The princes and clan elders who heard these words still had some kind of illusion in their hearts at that time, thinking that the Hun Evil King would have a way to defeat the Han army. Therefore, it is not impressed.

However, at this point, they have to think about it again and again. It was a matter of everyone's worth and the future of the entire tribe, even if they were afraid of the majesty of the Evil King, but after much consideration, they decided to unite and solemnly raise their concerns to the prince who led them to an unknown fate.

So, when this huge procession was less than a hundred miles away from the garrison of the Khan's army, they halted for a moment. A small discussion begins in front of the Evil King's horse.

With a gloomy face, the Evil King listened to the common meaning of his sons and several tribal elders. He dismounted from his horse and sat down on the rock, somewhat tired. Looking at his subordinates looking towards this side from afar, he deeply understood that the men and horses he led were disheartened, and it was difficult to fight in a short period of time.

"You said this...... What exactly is it trying to express? ”

Compared with the rest of the tribal kings on the grassland, the Evil King can be regarded as a more benevolent father and master. Of course, this is relative. He is by no means inferior to the ruthlessness of outsiders.

The princes looked at each other, a little timid. They looked at the elders of the tribe, and the eldest finally spoke.

"Lord! We're worried...... Once we go to Da Danyu, if he has anything else in mind, then it will be too late for us to regret it. ”

The rest of the people also hurriedly chimed in. This is the main meaning they want to express, and it is also the most worrying place in their hearts.

The Evil King was slightly stunned, since he killed King Hutu with his own hands under the persecution of Yuan Zhao, along the way, his heart was heavy and remorseful, and he only thought about revenge, and he had no time to think about other things. At this time, he suddenly heard the elder's words, and he raised his head and asked in a confused tone.

"What else can Da Dan Yu think? Is there anywhere else we can go now? ”

When the elders saw him like this, they became a little anxious, and now they don't have to worry about the majesty of the Khan alone. He accentuated his tone.

"My lord! Don't you really know what kind of person Shan Yu Khan is? His means...... It is rumored that the old khan was shot to death by him with his own hands! The prince lost the western steppe, that is, he lost the western barrier of the entire Xiongnu steppe. If you just want to take this opportunity to use the prince's head to establish your authority, or use it as a threat to take the opportunity to swallow up our cavalry team...... At that time, has the prince ever thought about what to do?! ”

The Evil King was taken aback, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back. This may seem alarmist, but it's not impossible. There were more than 60,000 cavalry under his command, and the total number of tribesmen was less than 100,000. He has such a little family foundation in his hands, if Shan Yu Yizhi really wants to take the opportunity to annex it, then he and all the royal families will die first and have no place to bury!

"In your opinion, what is the safest thing to do about this?"

All the henchmen were all around, waiting for the decision of the Evil King. After a long time, he took off his helmet in distress and threw it on the ground. For the sake of life, he had to prepare for the worst.

The prince and the elders, as well as the confidant generals, were visibly relieved. They sent down the orders of the evil king, and they encamped in this place for a while. The road ahead needs to be carefully discussed and chosen.

At the same time, the Hun camp in Longcheng, a hundred miles away, received a report from the rangers, and the Hun Evil King led 100,000 people across half of the grassland and was about to come.

National Teacher Zhang Zhongxing looked at Shan Yuyi's childish expression, and he sighed secretly. I knew in my heart that he didn't listen to his hard persuasion. Perhaps, the last chance to give it a go is gone.

Sure enough, it was not unexpected by Zhang Zhongxing. Shan Yu Yi Zhiyi laughed coldly, and in the face of all the tribal kings and descendants generals in the big tent, he only asked one sentence.

"What is the ...... of the crime of causing the situation on the grassland to be in great difficulty?"

After a moment of silence, someone finally began to respond.

"He deserves to be punished!"

"Kill the ...... Kill! ”

"The general of the defeated army is a heinous crime! Punish his clan! ”

"Kill, kill, kill......!"

What a fat, big scapegoat! Everyone quickly unanimously decided to kill this "scapegoat" before retreating and sticking to the northern grasslands, so as to calm the anger and frustration in their hearts.

And just when the grassland brothers here were about to meet each other, the western grassland, which had just changed owners, was jubilant and lively.

The majestic Qilian Mountains, with their peaks covered with snow all year round, converge into several flowing rivers in spring and summer when the sun begins to melt the glaciers. They descend from a high place and flow to the grasslands, forming several places of abundance of water and grass.

The three largest rivers are located from the Western Regions to the western part of the grassland. They are the Shiyang River, the Heihe River and the Shule River.

On this grassland in early summer, a significant meeting will be held on the bank of the Shule River. The majestic wind hunts, the flag is displayed, and it is inserted in all directions. The will from the Han Empire is about to be recognized and passed down here.
