Chapter 322: The Quartet Alliance
When the wheel of time turned to May of the first year of Yuanguang, on the endless grassland, the sun was already extraordinarily gorgeous, the wind blew the grass and showed cattle and sheep, the green pasture grass on the pasture had the momentum of occupying the rivers and mountains, and the tents of the grassland people seemed to glow with infinite vitality, and many half-grown children went back and forth between the tents of the tribe, running and laughing and playing.
By this time, the Wuhuan, Xianbei, and Amid tribes, who had occupied Chaha in late autumn last year with the assistance of the Han army, had already begun to graze cattle and sheep on a large scale, and this pasture, which was still very fresh for them, made them extremely satisfied.
"This year, the weather is good, and the pastures in all the pastures are growing luxuriantly, especially in the Chahar land, which is really fat!" The Wuhuan general Yihai Mosa, who was accompanying the Wuhuan King Cha Mu Co to inspect the grassland on a grassland, pointed to the large number of cattle and sheep in front of him and said to Cha Mu Cuo.
With a satisfied smile on his face, and after listening to Yihai's words, Cha Mucuo said: "Chaha has long had the name of fertile pasture, and the name is well deserved, I Wuhuan has such a large piece of grassland, and the number of cattle and sheep has increased exponentially, and this king is very relieved!" ”
Yihai smiled and said: "It is not only cattle and sheep that have multiplied, but also slaves!" Correspondingly, in less than ten years, the national strength of Wuhuan is bound to increase greatly, and it will definitely be the overlord of the grassland at that time! ”
"Haha!" Cha Mu Co smiled proudly, "Get this grassland, Wuhuan blessing!" ”
While the two were talking, a cavalry galloped over and reported to Cha Mucuo: "Report to the king, the Hun envoy asks to see!" ”
"Hun envoys?" Both Cha Mu Co and Yi Hai were surprised when they heard this.
"What did the Huns send envoys to do? Could it be that they want to retake Chahardi? Yihai's eyes flashed with an anxious look, "My king is not annoyed, wait for me to behead him!" ”
"Yihai inlay!" Cha Mu cuoly called Yihai and said in a deep voice: "The matter is not clear, how can you act rashly?" ”
After that, he asked the cavalryman: "Who are the Huns coming?" How many followers? ”
The cavalry reported: "The person who came called herself the princess of the Huns, and the entourage was no more than one or twenty people, but there were several carts of goods!" ”
"Xiongnu princess, Yixue?" When Cha Mu heard the words "Hun Princess", his face changed, probably thinking of the fact that he and Yi Xue'er jointly sent troops to the Han Shanggu a few years ago, and after a moment of silence, Cha Mu Cuo said: "Go, go and meet this Hun princess and see why she is here." ”
In the king's tent, Yi Xue'er, who was dressed in a white robe, stepped forward with her head held high under the unkind eyes of the ministers on both sides, and saluted Cha Mucuo, who was sitting on the king's chair: "My envoy has seen King Wuhuan. ”
Since Yi Xue'er walked into the king's tent, Cha Mu Cuo has been staring at him, I haven't seen him for a few years, today Yi Xue'er is a little more mature than that day, the pride on her face has faded a lot, but the heroic momentum of the woman is more vigorous, which can not be ignored. What especially puzzled King Wuhuan was that after staying in the grassland for so many years, Yi Xue'er's complexion was still so fair and smooth, and she didn't look like an ordinary grassland woman with rough skin who had been blown by the strong wind for a long time. This made Cha Mucuo wonder: Could it be that this princess, who is said to have been to the Central Plains, has stayed in the tent since returning to the grassland and has never gone out?
"The princess doesn't have to be polite." Cha Mu Co slowly spoke, his tone was lukewarm, and he said bluntly: "I don't know what the princess is here for?" ”
"Princess Ben is here as an envoy of the alliance this time." Yi Xue'er stood in the middle of the king's tent in a sassy manner, ignoring the unkindness and hostility in the eyes of everyone, and behaved calmly.
"Alliance emissary?" Cha Mucuo couldn't help laughing, "I don't know who the princess wants to ally with, and my Wuhuan?" Ha ha! ”
As if hearing something extremely funny, Cha Mu Co laughed wantonly. Cha Mucuo's laughter caused all the Wuhuan ministers in the king's tent to laugh too.
No matter how you think about it, they have enough reason to laugh.
Everyone laughed, Yi Xue'er didn't care, or simply turned a blind eye, and saluted to Cha Mucuo: "What King Wuhuan said is right, I am here for the alliance between the Great Huns and Wuhuan!" His voice forcibly suppressed everyone's laughter, and then Ixher clapped her hands, and a dozen of her attendants carried several large boxes into the king's tent. In the puzzled eyes of everyone in the king's tent, Yi Xue'er asked these big boxes to be opened, revealing the best leather, animal horns, gold and other things inside, full of several large boxes, which instantly dazzled the eyes of everyone in the king's tent.
Not to mention anything else, just these things, absolutely weighty, tempting, and sincere!
"A little courtesy, not a respect, I hope the Wuhuan King will smile!" When everyone was salivating, Yi Xue'er's loud voice sounded in the king's tent again, "The heart of the alliance between the Great Hun and Wuhuan can swear in the name of the Kunlun God, absolutely sincere, and hope that the Wuhuan King will not let the Great Hun down." ”
There was a faint smile on the corner of Yi Xue'er's mouth, looking at King Wuhuan who was slightly distracted.
"This ...... The gifts of the Huns are too valuable, right? Cha Mu Tso looked away from the large boxes and looked at Ixher.
"The Great Huns have always been honest and generous with their friends, and they only seek peaceful coexistence and mutual help." Icher said with a smile, her tone was particularly sincere and cordial against the backdrop of these gifts.
Cha Mu Coo leaned back, and did not immediately accept the gift brought by Yi Xue'er, but leaned back on the king's chair and said: "The Xiongnu intend to form an alliance with the Wuhuan, does Yi Zhi Xianshan not hold a grudge against the Wuhuan people for robbing the Xiongnu's pasture?" Or is it that Yi Zhi Xian Shan plans to exchange these boxes of goods for the Chaha land occupied by Wu Huan, so that Wu Huan will withdraw from the pasture that has been stationed for less than a year? ”
In the end, Cha Mucuo's voice was a little colder.
When Cha Mu said this, the ministers who were still salivating over Yi Xue'er's gifts immediately closed their eyes, and their attitudes became cold and hardened again, and Yihai Ji even sneered with cold eyes: "In exchange for a few boxes of goods for the huge grassland of Chahadi, the princess is really calculating!" ”
Now in the eyes of everyone, it is true that Icher has come to form an alliance leave, and she wants to return to Chahardi. After all, with such a large pasture and such a fertile pasture, it was normal for the Huns to come and ask for it. But this made Wuhuan withdraw from Chahar, and there was no doubt that he was taking food from the tiger's mouth, and everyone was indignant.
"If that's the case, princess, please go back!"
"This is the attitude of the Huns towards their allies? Hmph, that's ridiculous! ”
"I think the princess is here to declare war, right?"
“......”
In the face of everyone's sudden criticism, Yi Xue'er never defended, and when everyone stopped a little, she smiled at Cha Mu Cuo, and said in her usual calm tone since she entered the king's tent: "King Wuhuan has misunderstood, these gifts are just a meeting gift for King Wuhuan, not an exchange of materials for Chahadi." This princess is here only to represent the friendship between the Xiongnu and Wuhuan, not for anything else. ”
As soon as Yi Xue'er said this, the atmosphere in the king's tent changed again, and Cha Mucuo was surprised: "Is this true? The Xiongnu don't ask Wuhuan for Chahadi, what are these things just a greeting gift? ”
It's not that Cha Mu is wrong and indifferent, it's that he really can't be indifferent. These people took advantage of the defeat of the Huns and the Han army, and took the opportunity to seize the Chaha land, and the Huns should hate their own people to the core, and now, the Huns not only do not hold grudges and do not ask for Chahadi, but also give each other heavy gifts and make friends with their own people?
How can there be such a truth in this world?
After listening to Cha Mucuo's question, Yi Xue'er smiled faintly: "King Wuhuan heard it right, the Huns don't ask Wuhuan for Chahadi. ”
Cha Mucuo's mood gradually calmed down, his eyes became a little sharper, stared at Yi Xue'er, and asked word by word: "The Xiongnu don't ask for Chahadi, but also give each other a heavy gift, there must be something to ask for, I don't know what the Xiongnu wanted?" ”
"Alliance." Yi Xueer said, "The Xiongnu are willing to form an alliance with Wuhuan and get along amicably from now on." ”
The king's tent suddenly became noisy, and the ministers exchanged their heads and ears, and Cha Mu Co pondered for a while, and suddenly burst into laughter.
"Why is King Wuhuan laughing?" Yi Xue'er's face was as usual, and she was not stunned by the repeated changes of the Wuhuan minister and Cha Mucuo in the big tent, as if her white robe had a mysterious charm, and she was isolated from external objects.
"The Xiongnu and Wuhuan are allied with each other, they want to make Wuhuan the target of the public, and they will be despised by the Xianbei and Amid tribes, and they will not be able to gain a foothold in Chakha from now on, and the Xiongnu can collect the profits of the fishermen, right?" Cha Mu Co said coldly, Wuhuan and the Xiongnu were already on the same footing, so Cha Mu Co said this unceremoniously, without taking Yi Xue'er's face into account.
"Sinister intentions!"
"The Huns are really despicable!"
"King, blast this person out!"
The ministers in the room suddenly made a fuss again, and it seemed that they had decided that what Cha Mu said was the truth.
Although Yihai inlay was not noisy, he also looked at Yi Xueer coldly, his hand was already pressed on the handle of the knife, as long as Yi Xueer made a move, Yihai inlay would take her down.
"Huh!" Yi Xue'er chuckled, didn't talk nonsense with others, and said to Cha Mu: "King Wuhuan's words are wrong. The Xiongnu treat their friends with sincerity, how can they be as treacherous as the Han people, and make such a plan? To tell the truth to the king of Wuhuan, the Xiongnu not only have to ally with Wuhuan, but also with the Xianbei and Ami clans. If King Wuhuan doesn't believe it, he can send someone to the clan stations of Xianbei and Ami to inquire about whether the Xiongnu envoy is also like this princess and brought the letter of alliance. The Xiongnu valued Wuhuan, so the princess specially came to visit the Wuhuan king in person, where would she have other thoughts? ”
Yi Xue'er's words were plain, but to the ears of King Wuhuan and others, they were extremely shocked.
