Text Chapter 250 The long knife is murderous
The change in Dawan Wang Qinghuan's attitude towards the Han envoy had nothing to do with the missing Han military captain. In his eyes, such a trivial matter is not worth mentioning. Within the borders of the countries of the Western Regions, there are either grasslands or deserts, all kinds of fierce beasts and wolves are infested at any time, and their own people are often eaten by wild beasts.
As for the Han Dynasty mission, Qinghuan didn't want to see them from the bottom of his heart. Between the two countries, thousands of miles apart, they have never dealt with each other at all, so rashly, to reach an agreement to deal with the Huns together? And listening to the meaning of their Han envoy's tone, they even want to exchange for Dawan's BMW?
Rubbing a piece of beautiful jade given by the Han envoy in the palm of his hand, King Qinghuan of Dawan couldn't help but sneer secretly, the wishful thinking of the emperor of the Han Dynasty was good!
The reason why he hesitated and did not immediately refuse the request of the Han envoy was because of the admonition of the prince and because he really liked these delicate items from the Central Plains. Although these Han people have stupid ideas, what they make is really good!
Let's just talk about this flawless jade in the hand, the whole body is thorough, the color is crystal clear, held in the hand, the touch of the skin is warm, it is simply a supreme treasure. And the rest of the silk, ceramic utensils, etc. are even more lovely, and King Dawan can't put down every piece of it.
As the saying goes, buying and selling does not lead to benevolence and righteousness, and this kind of truth, even in the Western Regions, is well known. Since you accept these things from others and don't give some back, it seems too petty. However, those Han envoys were euphemistically reluctant to return gifts such as gold jewelry shells sent by Brother Wang on behalf of Dawan.
Although the Han envoy did not say it explicitly, the meaning was already very clear. Yunshan Wushu said a lot of official words, and what he wanted to express was nothing more than two points: to reach an agreement to jointly deal with the Xiongnu. Exchange Central Plains items for a few sweaty BMWs.
Wang's younger brother Yunhuan brought these two conditions of the Han envoy to King Dawan last night. The Han people finally said, if His Majesty cannot agree to the first clause, then please agree to the second clause, so that they may be worthy of the trip! Although the words were said politely, the resolute meaning was very clear, which made Qinghuan, who was the respect of a country, very unhappy.
All morning, he thought about how to deal with it. When he straddled the carved saddle and watched the athletes under his command bending their horses and bows, galloping and hunting, flying sand and soil, and their momentum was majestic, he couldn't help but touch the treasure knife on his waist, he hadn't killed anyone for a long time! Do you want to let these warriors in the country see blood this time?
Since Qing Huan can sit firmly on the throne of King Dawan, he is naturally a resolute and decisive figure. Since he has murderous intent in his heart, he will not delay. At that moment, he ordered someone to secretly summon Wang Brother Yunhuan, together with several cronies, nobles, and generals into the king's tent, and told them one of his ideas.
Yun Huan remained silent, but he was taken aback in his heart. Brother Wang, what are you trying to do? It's going to be a disaster! He knew far more about the strength of the Han Dynasty than anyone else in the country. However, he looked at King Dawan's gloomy and vicious face, and heard the enthusiastic and excited approval of his henchmen, Yun Huan didn't say a word.
The Han Dynasty mission was only a mere 200 people, and in this far-reaching region, they would be killed quietly and unknowingly, and the news would never be revealed. Moreover, when it reaches the Han Dynasty and says that they disappeared in the territory of Dawan, I don't know what year and month it will be waiting for!
If you take another 10,000 steps back, what can the people of the Han Dynasty do if they know that it was Dawan who killed their envoys? Far away from thousands of mountains and rivers, across the desert, and separated by more than a dozen countries, can they still send troops to retaliate? That's impossible!
King Dawan was very proud of his bold plan. Listening to a few henchmen excitedly added, those Han people actually brought dozens of carts full of property, all of which were valuable gold and silver ornaments, roughly estimated, almost equivalent to the income of Dawan's treasury for more than half a year, and this news made them even more tempted.
The monarch and the ministers immediately reached a consensus, and immediately arranged it, striving to do it neatly. For Dawan, this is a godsend. The more they think about it, the more excited they become, it's a good deal to kill two birds with one stone! After killing the Han envoys, you can not only get their property, but also send the heads of these people to the Xiongnu royal court, and sell a good favor there in Dadanyu, presumably there will be a large reward. Why not do such a good thing?
Good things are coming, and you can't stop them! As if heaven was going to fulfill them, while they were talking about joy, a distant vigilant ranger came to report that the Hun Hugh Tu King had sent his eldest prince with a troop of about 300 iron horsemen.
When Dawan Junchen heard this, he was overjoyed. So coincidentally? Here is a discussion of how to deal with the Han Chinese, and their great enemies, the Huns, are coming! The monarchs and ministers glanced at each other and laughed. Now, there is no need for the Dawan people to do it themselves, since the Hun iron cavalry has arrived, the destruction of the Han people is only in the snap of a finger! When the time comes, just wait for those possessions to be in your pocket.
People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and King Dawan personally led the palace guards to greet them more than ten miles away, and received the prince who left the city from the Xiongnu steppe and his three hundred warriors.
At this time, the Xiongnu had a vast territory, from east to west, traversing the entire grassland, and its sphere of influence reached the foot of the Tianshan Mountains. These large and small states at the northern and southern foothills of the Tianshan Mountains, whether willing or unwilling, almost all acted according to the will of the Xiongnu.
In the western part of the vast prairie, it was the territory of the Hun Hutu King and the Hun Evil King. These two princes, with equal power, jointly govern the people in this area.
And King Dawan has always been closer to King Hutu. Therefore, every year of the Dawan Tianma Festival, King Hutu will definitely send people to participate, which can be regarded as an invisible support for Dawan.
This year, the Tianma Festival has begun for more than ten days, and there has been no movement of the Huns. Qinghuan was a little disappointed, thinking that they would not come. Unexpectedly, at this juncture, they arrived by chance.
The Xiongnu had five kings under Yu Yi Zhixie, they were the Zuoxian King, the Right Xian King, the Yelu King, the Hutu King, and the Hun Evil King. These five princes had the largest sphere of influence among the Xiongnu kings, had the most warriors under their command, and were also the most relied on by the Xiongnu.
The eldest prince of King Hutu left the city, and now he is more than Chinese New Year's Eve years old, but he is a man like an iron tower. The blades in his hands are two large hammers, weighing hundreds of catties. Riding on a black horse, majestic, at first glance, he is an invincible general.
In fact, in this western grassland, there are few opponents outside the city. As long as he has played against him, there will basically be no second chance. This guy is too ferocious, he hammers and sinks violently, and his tricks are amazing, once the opponent is defeated, he will end up with broken bones and tendons, and he will die a miserable death.
If you have great ability, you will have a big temper, which is a common problem of ordinary people. The prince of Licheng is even more qualified for this, he is not only an invincible general, but also the future master of this vast territory, the future king of Hugh Tu.
The three hundred warriors he brought with him were his personal guards. Once, with him on his crusades, everyone's hands were stained with the blood of the enemy. Killing, sometimes in their eyes, is no different from killing a prey.
The wind and grass are low, the cold is cold, and this team has a fierce iron and blood breath, and it came to the territory of Dawan in this way. The Dawan monarch who accompanied the smiling face to greet him, saw such a momentum, and he was secretly frightened in his heart.
The reason why the Hun cavalry is called the iron cavalry is that only those who have seen it with their own eyes know that the name is worthy of it. Although there are only three hundred horses, that kind of fierce spirit is coming, but it is like a thousand troops and horses, such a team, once it charges, it is like Mount Tai pressing the top, no one dares to stop it!
Previously, the king of Dawan was proud of the thousands of athletes under his command, but compared with the Hun cavalry, it is simply incomparable, if the two really go to the battlefield to fight to the death, I am afraid that the thousands of people in Dawan will not be able to stop the three hundred Hun cavalry from rushing away!
Fortunately, Dawan and the Xiongnu are friends rather than enemies, not only will not have a war with them, but will use their powerful strength to achieve their own maximum interests. Thinking of this, Qing Huan and his henchmen exchanged a look with each other, secretly rejoicing in their cleverness.
When he came to the camp, he took the city into the king's tent, and respectfully made him the first place. Then he instructed people to hurry up and serve the food and drink to catch the wind and wash the dust. The three hundred Hun cavalry, naturally led by the deputy general centurion, went to the tent on the side to entertain them under the courteous reception of the Dawan nobles.
After a few glasses of wine, King Dawan pretended to inadvertently reveal that there were Han people from the far east who were visiting Dawan. As he expected, when the prince of Licheng heard the news, his face changed color.
Since the last time, in the battle with the Han army outside Yanmen Pass, the Hun cavalry was defeated for the first time, Dadan Yu Yi Zhixie has attached great importance to the combat strength of the Han Dynasty army.
In a single battle, nearly 20,000 steppe warriors were lost, which has never happened in the past hundred years. The last time such a fiasco was traced back to the time when the Qin Dynasty general Meng Tian chased the Huns to the north and drove the Huns far away to Mobei.
Da Shan Yu's attention also affected the princes on the grassland, who had carefully studied the combat strength and determination of the Han army, and believed that they should observe the movements of the Han Dynasty carefully. And now, there are Han people who have appeared in the distant rear of the Xiongnu, which is a matter that must not be ignored.
"Thousands of miles away, what are the Han people doing here?" Leaving the city, he stopped the golden wine bottle in his hand.
"I want to form an alliance and fight together against Dadan Yu Khan Tianwei!" King Dawan told him bluntly and did not hide it.
The Xiongnu prince smiled coldly, with a cruel look on his face: "King, what do you think?"
"Dawan and the Huns have been friendly for generations, and they should advance and retreat together!"
"So good! Tomorrow, the king will watch from the wall, watch the Hun warriors slash the Han envoys, and pass the head of the grassland! ”
The cold bullied, the white grass was rushing, and when another twilight fell, snowflakes began to fall. The long wind is thousands of miles, and the sad song ...... suddenly!
