Chapter 426: The Rebellion of the Loulan Kingdom
"So? But the defenders of Yumen Pass are probably not vegetarians, right? Can we Loulan people really conquer Yumen Pass? The prime minister was worried.
"Your Excellency, we can sneak into Yumen Pass and even Chang'an City in disguise as merchants. At present, what Chang'an City needs most is food, as long as a large amount of grain is transported, Wang Mang will inevitably agree! Guo Yi pointed to the map and said with a smile.
"Seconds! Indeed it can be! The prime minister smiled.
At this time, the Yumen Pass and Yangguan on the map were outlined with a brush.
"However, the new dynasty still has defenders in Yangguan! Do we still use this method? The prime minister was worried.
"Yangguan, we can conquer it. As long as we capture Yumen Pass, we will immediately lead a partial division to attack Yangguan. That's it! Guo Yi said with a smile.
"Lord Guo deserves to be the richest businessman in the world! Sure enough, there are means! The prime minister smiled.
Guo Yi thought to himself: However, I have no confidence in the combat effectiveness of the army of Loulan State! If the new army fights back, we may be defeated!
The minister of state thought to himself: Anyway, we are bluffing now, as long as we can piece together a few thousand people casually. The death row prisoners in the prison can also be used to make up the number!
Let's talk about the progress of the Huns' side on the matter of peace.
After reading the letter from Wang Zhengjun, the empress dowager of the new dynasty, Xiongnu Dadan Yu smiled and said: "Unexpectedly: Wang Zhengjun actually helped Wang Mang?" What a miracle in the world! Wang Mang is a sinner who usurped the Han family! Wang Zhengjun, as the ancestor of the Han family, actually helped such a nephew. What the hell did she think? ”
"Da Dan Yu, the question now is not what Wang Zhengjun thinks. Is it for us to agree to Wang Mang's harmony! Wang Zhaojun of the Ninghu clan asked.
Actually, Ben Shan didn't want to agree. However, now our Xiongnu army is not strong enough. King Zuo Xian's elite troops are probably not Wang Mang's opponents. Therefore, we can consider making peace with the new dynasty for the time being and buying time! Da Shan Yu said with a smile.
In fact, the advice of the mourning family is not to make peace with Wang Mang, because Wang Mang has now fallen into a difficult situation at home and abroad because of monetary policy. Send troops now, we can get twice the result with half the effort! Wang Zhaojun said with a depressed face.
"Really? King Gu felt that Wang Mang had now lost some of the people's hearts. However, the increase in microcredit for the people that he advocated is actually something that is conducive to the people's livelihood. The people still support him, so it seems that now that we send troops, we can't defeat Wang Mang. It will even make the Central Plains people unite to deal with us Huns! Xiongnu Zhishan Yu's brows couldn't help frowning.
Wang Zhaojun thought to himself: Actually, he was right. However, if we let Wang Mang continue to recuperate. In case the new dynasty recovers. Then, we are not Wang Mang's opponents at all!
Actually, Shan Yu is also right. However, the mourning family still felt that there was no need to make peace with Wang Mang. Our Xiongnu were originally the in-laws of the Han family. Now that he wants to make peace with Wang Mang, doesn't he recognize Wang Mang's regime? ”
"Why is Ning Hai's clan so opinionated? Is it because Wang Mang wants to let his princess Jianning marry your son? Zhishan Yu said with a smile.
"Yes! The mourning family hates the Wang family. Therefore, everything in the Wang family, the mourning family doesn't like it. Ning Hu Yan roared.
Xiongnu Zhishan Yu thought to himself: I'm afraid that when Ning Hu Yan was in the Han Dynasty, Wang Zhengjun treated her very badly! Otherwise, how could she hate the Wang family so much?
"Ning Hu Yan, you don't have to be like this! Our Great Huns also need to thank Wang Zhengjun. Without her approval and affinity, we would not have had so many years of peace with the Han Dynasty! Zhishan Yu said with a smile.
"So, King of the Right Valley. Wang Mang wants to marry his third daughter, Princess Jianning Wang Huaxu, to you, what do you think? Wang Zhaojun asked.
The right valley king in the audience smiled: "Erchen thinks that we should indeed value peace. We Huns just need peace. There can be no war with the new dynasty. The new dynasty is the kingdom of heaven. It's not something we can beat! ”
Zhishan Yu thought to himself: King Liwang of the Right Valley is really a native of the Central Plains, and he is stupid to read books! A pedantic scholar alive! He doesn't look like us Huns! Is he a native of the Central Plains or a Huns?
Wang Zhaojun of the Ning Hu clan thought to himself: What a son is not like a father! The right valley Li Wang and his father Hu Han Shan Yu are completely different! After such a son, how can he be the big single of our Huns? How could the princes of those tribes obediently obey his orders?
Wang Zhaojun couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"Enough...... King Liwang of the right valley is familiar with the Confucian classics! It is indeed a doctor among our Huns! This Shan Yu thinks you should go to Wang Mang as a son-in-law! You all have a common language! This single Yu promised to make peace with the new dynasty, you go to Chang'an City, and discuss the Confucian classics with Wang Mang! ”
The king of the right valley heard Zhishan Yu's mockery. He thought to himself: Da Danyu still looks down on me! I'm really like a native of the Central Plains, I can't ride a horse and shoot arrows, I like to read!
"Really? All right! The right valley Li Wang said helplessly.
The princes of the tribe smiled and said, "Congratulations to the king of the right valley......
Wang Zhaojun thought to himself: Zhishan is old, if the ministry plans earlier. After Zhidan's death, our Huns will fall into a bloody storm again!
King Zuo Xian thought to himself: It can be seen that Ning Hu Yan wants his son to be a single Yu. But if her son becomes Shan Yu and passes on the throne to the descendants of Wang Mang's daughter in the future, wouldn't that mess up the bloodline of our Huns?
No, I must get rid of the Ning Hu clan!
So, what kind of situation will the Xiongnu fall into? We'll get to that later.
At the same time, the Loulan soldiers had already disguised themselves as merchants and arrived at Yumen Pass.
At this time, Wang Mang was receiving the envoys of the Xiongnu.
The Xiongnu envoy said to Wang Mang: "Your Majesty the Great Emperor of the New Dynasty, we know that Shan Yu has agreed to make peace with your New Dynasty. ”
"Really? Great! Ning Hu Yan is also an old friend of mine. When I was a child, I played in the palace, and I used to know Ning Hu Yan. I hope that our new dynasty can be like the former Han Dynasty and be friendly with the Xiongnu for generations! Wang Mang said with a smile.
"It must be possible...... "The Hun envoy laughed.
At this time, the eunuch Luo Shan had already brought grilled sea bass.
It's already poisonous.
Wang Mang had a Persian cat at this time, which was recently paid tribute by the Sabbath Empire.
The Persian cat has dark blue eyes and a pleasing call.
Wang Mang said to the messenger, "Let's eat first!" ”
I saw Wang Mang take a piece of fish meat and give it to the Persian cat.
After the Persian cat ate it, it foamed at the mouth in a blink of an eye and whimpered.
"Who did this?" Wang Mang roared.
"Wang Mang, let's die......" The eunuch Luo Shan pulled out a dagger and stabbed Wang Mang.
Wang Mang drew his sword and cut Luo Shan to the ground.
Luo Shan fell to the ground and scolded: "The rebels and thieves ......"
