Before the dust of Fazheng was washed, he took the deputy general Yu Shi (originally Zhang Bao ordered Xu Chu to accompany him, but because Xu Chu had other important tasks, he was reassigned to Yu Shi to help. As well as a few pro-soldiers, lightly armed, came to the country of Wusun. Wusun is a large country among the 36 countries in the Western Regions, with more than 600,000 mouths, and is the first power among the countries in the Western Regions.
Wusun has a deep relationship with the Han Empire.
As early as the pre-Qin period, Wusun was nomadic in Dunhuang, Qilian area, after the rise of the Xiongnu, the Wusun people, the Wusun people panicked away from the Western Regions, after the rise of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu attacked the Xiongnu in the north, and at the same time sent Zhang Qian to the Western Regions, united the countries of the Western Regions to fight the Xiongnu, Wusun also participated in it, the Huns were attacked on all sides, most of the population and livestock were lost, and the national situation plummeted. In the following decades, Princess Xie Wu married Wusun for the second time, and the Han Empire and Wusun always maintained close contact.
But at the same time, Wusun also maintained a close relationship with the Xiongnu.
After the end of the two Han Dynasty, Wusun has always wavered between the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty, until the Xiongnu split, the Southern Xiongnu went south to attach the Han, and the Northern Xiongnu went to the west, Wusun completely fell to the Han, but at this time, the Han Dynasty has also reached the twilight of the year, and the country is no longer at its peak.
Dong Zhuo and Zhang Bao twice requisitioned the cavalry of the Western Regions to the east to participate in the melee in the Central Plains, which made the countries of the Western Regions see the weakness of the once powerful empire.
But even so, the call to get rid of the rule of the Han Dynasty and stand on its own feet was still in the Western Regions, and Wusun was divided into two factions, pro-Han and anti-Han, and quarreled endlessly.
Fa Zheng's choice of the first stop of the envoy in Wusun was deliberate.
First of all, the Wusun Kingdom had a close relationship with the Han Dynasty, and there was even a special post of translator in the country, who was responsible for translating Han literature, and most of the royal families in the country were descendants of Princess Xie Wu, who spoke fluent Chinese, so there was no difficulty in communication, and there would be no misunderstanding due to misinterpretation of words.
Secondly, Wusun is a big country among the 36 countries in the Western Regions, and many small countries such as Shule, Shache, Weitou, Wensu, and Gumo are all the only ones who are interested in Wusun, as long as they win the support of Wusun, it is equivalent to winning the support of half of the countries in the Western Regions! Even if the Yanqi Kingdom and the Khotanese Capital Kingdom make trouble, they will not be able to turn the sky upside down.
Of course, there is more important than these two points! Thinking of this, a trace of yin and yin coldness suddenly flashed in Fa Zheng's eyes, and his originally elegant and handsome face also became a little hideous, whether he could pacify the Western Regions in a short period of time and relieve his worries for Guan, Liang, and Beidi, it depends on this trip to Wusun!
。。。。。。
In the middle of the night, the torches in the tent of King Wusun were bright.
Wusun King Yuan Guimi is convening Xiang Dalu, Zuo General, Right General, Qianxi Marquis, Zhongxi Marquis, Hou Xi Marquis, Left Commander and Right Commander, as well as Zuo Eunuch, Right Eunuch, Chief, Shezhong Official, Riding Jun and other large and small officials to deliberate, Fa Zheng and Yu She, as the Yellow Turban envoys, are high and left and right of Yuan Guimi.
"Ladies and gentlemen." Yuan Guimi pointed to Fa Zheng and said to everyone, "This one is the noble envoy sent by Zhang Bao, the general of the Yellow Turban Digong. ”
Hearing this, Fa Zheng got up, learned the etiquette of the Wusun people, spread his hands out, and leaned over slightly.
When Fa Zheng returned to the table, Yuan Guimi asked: "I don't know why your envoy is here to come to the Western Regions?" ”
Yuan Guimi's voice fell, and the big and small Wusun officials in the tent suddenly pricked up their ears.
This issue is really too sensitive, now many countries in the Western Regions are making trouble to stand on their own, wanting to get rid of the control of the Han Dynasty, and the Great Han Western Regions Changshi Mansion is under the rule of Liangzhou Thorn History, and Liangzhou is under the rule of the Digong General Zhang Bao, Zhang Bao is known as a murderer, and Zhao Yun is even more ferocious like a wolf in the Western Liang Thorn History, will the tiger and wolf monarchs and ministers let it go?
Fa Zheng smiled slightly, and said: "At present, the Han Dynasty has frequent internal strife and disputes, and my lord and general Digong need to concentrate his forces to deal with the attacks of various thieves in the Central Plains, and he has no time to look westward. ”
Fa Zheng's voice fell, and all the Wusun ministers in the tent were in an uproar.
"Oh?" Yuan Guimi's expression also moved, and he said in a condensed voice, "Your envoy is here for this matter?" ”
"Exactly." Fa Zheng smiled, "If it's convenient, please also ask the king to summon the kings of all countries to come to the royal capital as soon as possible, there is still a mission in the next place, it is really not appropriate to stay for a long time." ”
"Understood." Yuan Guimi said happily, "Xiao Wang will send envoys to various countries to summon the kings of all countries to gather in the royal capital as soon as possible, and discuss the withdrawal of the Han army with the envoys." ”
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
It's night, Zhang Bao's big tent.
The lights are dim, the atmosphere in the big tent seems a little dignified, Zhang Bao's armor has not retreated, he is kneeling on the tiger skin cushion and closing his eyes to recuperate, Jia Xu, Guo Tu, Zhang Lie, and Xi Zhicai are holding their breath and concentrating in the tent, and the atmosphere in the tent is overwhelming.
"Flutter~"
The twist of the mutton fat lamp suddenly made a soft sound, Zhang Bao's slightly closed eyes had opened for some time, and a palpitating cold light swept through his cold eyes, and he said in a condensed voice: "Everyone, you must have heard the words of the daytime ceremony, this is more than ten children who dare to kidnap Ru'er in broad daylight, and this general definitely does not believe that there is no one behind him!" ”
Guo Tu said ashamedly: "The subordinate official is also a public security intelligence but he inspects it like this, and he also asks the lord to punish him." ”
"Okay, it's no wonder you~" Zhang Bao waved his hand, categorically interrupted Guo Tu, and said in a deep voice, "Jixian County is the foundation of our army, and no one expected anyone to be so bold." Fortunately, there is a pawn of this kid, so he didn't let people succeed~"
Zhang Bao said this, his black eyes flashed a fierce color, and he said sharply: "This matter must be thoroughly investigated, if you dare to touch the general's family, then the general will make his life worse than death!" ”
"The lord is angry~" Jia Xu frowned, "Does the lord still remember that the lord forcibly relocated the people of Jizhou on a large scale eight years ago, and the wealthy families of the noble family came to settle in Youzhou?" ”
"That migration is a miracle, it is precisely because of that large-scale migration that the bitter cold land of Youzhou has become the backing of our army's granary, how can General Ben forget?" Zhang Bao's eyes were full of solemnity, and he said in a condensed voice, "Wen He suspects that it is related to the last migration?" ”
Jia Xu said: "After that large-scale migration, most of the people were distributed in Shanggu, Dai County, and Yuyang counties, and at that time, Xu went to Shanggu to assist General Guo Da to preside over civil affairs on the order of the lord, and there were thousands of people besieging Taishou Mansion, fortunately, General Guo Da handled it properly so that it did not cause a big disaster, and then he privately found out that someone was secretly stirring up trouble, so he was ready to interrogate people, but he didn't want to make trouble, some of them fled, and some of them were violent in the wilderness~ Later, the war started, and Xu was also tracking, and now I think about it~"
Xi Zhicai said in a condensed voice: "What Wen He said happened in Daijun at the beginning, if it weren't for the coincidence, I'm afraid there would be an undercurrent under the rule of our army!" ”
Zhang Bao's heart moved, I am afraid that someone secretly deployed chess pieces a few years ago, but who is the subordinate? Moreover, when the opportunity was wrong, he was able to hide it quickly, and this dormancy was eight years, and this forbearance was absolutely beyond the reach of many people. Eight years ago, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shu were just fledglings, not to mention Sun Jian, I didn't know where they were at that time, and as for Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were dead, it was impossible to jump out now~
"Good at forbearance, good at forbearance~" Zhang Bao's heart moved, and the cold breath gradually filled those cold eyes, "The person in the world who is good at dormancy and conspiratorial is none other than Liu Bei." The public rule, immediately send an order to report all the bits and pieces of Liu Bei in the past eight years! ”
Guo Tu said in a condensed voice: "Tu, obey!" ”
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
The Western Regions, the capital of the king of Wusun.
In less than half a month, the 36 countries sent envoys to the capital of Wusun, and the Yanqi country and the capital of Khotan even sent ministers and generals to come, which shows the importance attached to this gathering.
Han Embassy Post House.
Fa Zheng gently brushed down the curtain of the tent, turned back to Yu She, and said, "General Yu She, are you ready?" ”
Yu Shi said in a low voice: "Please rest assured, sir, the last generals are ready!" A full hundred elites, dressed as several caravans, have already mixed into the royal capital, these people are all veterans of a hundred battles who crawled out of the pile of dead, and they are all loyal, and cleaning up the more than two hundred barbarians is a meal! ”
"Good!"
"As long as Mr. gives an order, hum, the prime minister of Yanqi State, the general of Khotanese Capital State, and the more than 100 guards accompanying him, none of them will be able to go back alive."
"Hmm." Fa Zheng nodded, and said in a condensed voice, "Tell them to go down, let them pay attention to the hidden traces, don't cause trouble, and wait until it gets dark before they do it." ”
"Yes."
Yu Shi clenched his fists and took the order.
Fa Zheng was dressed properly, and Shi Shiran went to the Wusun Royal Court out of the post house.
。。。。。。
It was night, the moon was dark and the wind was high.
The king of Wusun, Yuan Guimi, was drinking and feasting with Yu Fa in the royal court, and when they were talking, they suddenly saw General Zuo rushing in with a panicked expression, kneeling on the ground and hurriedly saying: "King, no...... Oh no! ”
Yuan Guimi frowned and said, "What's wrong, panicking?" ”
General Zuo gasped and said: "The post house ~ The post house was suddenly attacked by unknown people and horses, and the prime minister of Yanqi, General Zuo of Khotan and more than 100 guards who came with him were all killed!" ”
"What did you say!?" Yuan Guimi was startled, Huo Ran got up and said, "What about the royal court guards sent to guard the post house, didn't this king tell you again and again that you must protect the kings and ministers of various countries?" Why did this happen at the end of the day, huh? ”
General Zuo said miserably: "It's all to blame for the last general's carelessness, and the thief's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, when the last general realizes that the situation is not good and returns to the post house, everything is too late, the minister of Yanqi State, the left general of Khotanese and the accompanying guards are all dead!" Great King, in less than half an hour, more than 200 people, all of them died! ”
"Do you know who did it?" Yuan Guimi said angrily, "Have you caught the murderer?" ”
General Zuo shook his head bitterly: "No, when the last general led people back, the murderer had already run out." ”
"Then why don't you send troops to find it!?" Yuan Guimi roared angrily, "What are you doing here? ”
"King, don't look for it, it was done by the envoy's entourage."
Yuan Guimi's voice fell, and a gloomy voice suddenly sounded behind him, Yuan Guimi looked back, only to see Fa Zheng standing behind him, the look on his face was extremely gloomy, and the left general on the side shouted, and took out the scimitar and put it on Fa Zheng's neck.
Fa Zheng glanced at the scimitar on his neck lightly, and said to the left general: "The sword has no eyes, the general has to hold it tightly." ”
General Zuo was stunned when he heard this, so he had to put away his knife and retreat.
Yuan Guimi took a deep breath, tried his best to calm the anger in his chest, and said in a deep voice: "Honorable envoy, Xiao Wang thinks that he has never been slow to treat you, nor has he offended the general of the earth, but why did you make such a decision to assassinate the minister of Yanqi and the general Zuo of Khotan in the royal capital?" Isn't this a desperate situation for my Wusun to be in a desperate situation? Isn't it to force my Wusun to be enemies with the Yanqi Kingdom, the Khotanese Capital Kingdom, and even the entire Western Regions? Don't you want me to destroy the country and the species? ”
"No!" Fa Zheng said indifferently, "This is not to do this to destroy the country and extinct the species, but to prosper and inherit the prosperity of the Wusun country from generation to generation!" ”
"Huh?" Yuan Gui said awe-inspiringly, "Xiao Wang doesn't understand the words of the envoy. ”
"That's good." Fa Zheng nodded and said to Yuan Gui, "Dare to ask the king, have the Yanqi Kingdom and the Khotanese Capital Kingdom been making trouble recently, and want to get rid of the Han Empire and stand on their own?" ”
Yuan Gui was silent.
Fa Zhengdao: "General Digong is very angry about this, and he wants to send General Zhao Yun of Xiliang to lead the army to crusade against the Western Regions several times, if it weren't for the repeated obstruction of the military division, I am afraid that the two countries would have been lying in wait for thousands of miles and bleeding!" If Wusun cannot draw a clear line with the two countries at this time, I am afraid that it will destroy the country! ”
Yuan Gui's color changed: "Honorable envoy, are you threatening the Wusun Kingdom?" It must be known that our country has a population of no less than 600,000, and there are at least 100,000 capable warriors! General Digong wants to set foot on Wusun, I'm afraid it's not so easy, right? ”
"A hundred thousand? Sounds like a lot! Fa Zheng said coldly, "But has the king forgotten that in a few years, my lord conquered Goguryeo with 10,000 iron horses, and Goguryeo raised the strength of the whole country to meet it with an army of 150,000, but in the end it was defeated, and in the end even the royal court was lost, and Goguryeo was almost wiped out!" ”
Yuan Guimi and General Zuo were awe-inspiring when they heard this, Zhang Bao is an eternal nightmare in the hearts of the people of the Western Regions and even all the barbarians.
"The guards of Yanqi and Khotanese are elite enough, right? More than 100 elites from the two countries who came to the royal capital this time, but the more than 20 relatives of the envoy slaughtered them in less than half an hour! Fa Zheng said this, took a step closer to Yuan Guimi, and asked in a loud voice, "Dare to ask the king, if my lord leads 100,000 yellow turban iron horsemen to attack, how should Wusun Kingdom resist?" ”
Yuan Gui was silent.
"King!" Fa Zheng pressed one step further and said sharply, "If you go against General Digong and the Han Dynasty, you will never end well!" For the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people in Wusun Kingdom, the king should draw a clear line with the two treasonous countries of Yanqi and Khotan, and then ascend to the top and shout, leading Shule, Shache, Weitou, Wensu, Gumo and other small countries to fight against the treason! ”
Yuan Guimi hesitated and said, "But ......"
"King!" Fa Zheng took a step further towards Yuan Guimi, and shouted loudly, "The prime minister of Yanqi and the general Zuo of Khotan have died in your king's capital!" The Yanqi Kingdom and the Khotanese Kingdom will not listen to your explanation, they will only think that the people were ordered to be killed by the king. The enmity between the Wusun Kingdom and the two countries has been settled, if the king is unwilling to form a friendship with the Digong general, then prepare to face the two countries alone! ”
"The King." Fa Zheng's voice fell, and General Zuo took a step closer and whispered to Yuan Gui, "If the Yueyan Qi Kingdom and the Khotanese Capital Kingdom are attacked from the east and west, my country is afraid that it will be difficult to resist." ”
"The King." Fa Zheng said again, "As long as you say a word, the Yellow Turban Thousand Heavy Armor Iron Rider will be driven by it!" After the conquest of Yanqi and Khotan, this envoy will also explain everything to our lord and the general of the land, and implore my lord to show the king as the Khan of the Western Regions, and from now on, the countries of the Western Regions should respect Wusun. ”
"Oh?"
Yuan Guimi's expression couldn't help but move slightly when he heard this, but Fa Zheng's words really moved Yuan Guimi. However, Yuan Guimi didn't know that Zhang Bao was actually the biggest thief for the Son of Heaven, and he wouldn't pay attention to Zhang Bao at all~
