The intense and orderly construction has not stopped, so Lin Bin basically has no personal time, he repeats a rhythm every day, getting up, eating, working, inspecting...... This cycle is extremely boring, but what can be done? Authority brings power, and at the same time it also has corresponding duties, the ruler is not good, unless he wants to die in the present era, otherwise there is basically no time to relax, which is one of the reasons why the Qinzheng Emperor died early. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info And it is even more difficult to be a ruler in wartime, if one is not careful, he is a slave of the country, who dares to relax?

Lin Bin naturally didn't dare to relax, so it was hard for a person......

Wusun envoy Wei Lixu has been waiting for the opportunity to meet Lin Bin since he came to Xilin, and now a month has passed, he has been waiting and waiting, and he has to wait, but the application to see Lin Bin is like a dead sea without any news.

A month is enough for too many things to happen, with the advent of the deep cold season, both in the north and northwest have begun to snowfall on a large scale, in such a season traffic is naturally greatly affected, but for some states in the Western Regions, they are attracted by huge interests under the seasonal climate is not an obstacle at all.

The news of Wusun's request for marriage with the Han Department leaked out, and the countries of the Western Regions understood the huge interests behind the marriage, and they made a statement whether they were capable or not, and the countries that were not strong stated that they wanted to get a piece of the pie, and the powerful countries certainly tried their best to compete.

How did Wusun leak out such a secret news? In fact, there is no doubt about this, at this time, only the Huns want to be chaotic in the Western Regions. Therefore, it was the Xiongnu who lurked in Wusun's detailed investigation or inadvertently knew that the secret was spread to the outside world.

At present, the Western Regions is not the monopoly of Wusun alone, and the Cheshi Kingdom and the Qiuzi Kingdom are also powerful countries in the Western Regions, and the last thing they want to see is that Wusun's strength is instantly enhanced. Once Wusun is strong to a certain extent, then the Xiongnu are not the only enemy for them, and the powerful Wusun has also become a potential enemy of the states in the Western Regions.

The situation in the Western Regions has become extremely unstable under the secret bribery and many conspiracies of the Xiongnu, and the news that Wusun wants to marry the Han Department will become more complicated as soon as the news spreads, and the king of Wusun, Kun Mo Hunting, wants to rely on marriage to increase Wusun's strength while suppressing the instability of the Western Regions, but it seems to have the opposite effect, at least the states in the Western Regions are not very friendly to Wusun after learning the news of the marriage. The situation in the alliance is precarious.

There is also a tradition of marriage in the Western Regions, and the political marriage is a strong alliance, and everyone has a chance before the matter becomes a foregone conclusion.

On the one hand, the Cheshi King frequently entertained the Han envoys who stayed in the Western Regions. On the one hand, he was impatient to send his own marriage proposal.

At present, the Cheshi Kingdom does not have the intention of competing with the Wusun State, and the Wusun State wants to rely on the marriage with the Han Department to enhance its strength and obtain protection at the same time, and the idea of the Cheshi State at the forefront of the Xiongnu invasion is actually stronger, so the Cheshi State has made preparations with both hands. The envoy sent to the Han Department is definitely a marriage proposal envoy, yes. However, the Cheshi envoy had two choices, one was to ask the King of Han to marry the princess to Cheshiguo; The second is to ask the king of Han to marry the sister of the king of Cheshi.

It is common for a country to have a royal family age apart, for example, the eldest prince is already forty years old, and the youngest member of the royal family is less than ten years old. In particular, King Cheshi is not old, he is in the prime of life, and the age difference between his eldest daughter and his youngest sister is only two years.

Qiuci was not on the front line of the Xiongnu invasion, and the prerequisite for the Xiongnu to attack the border of Qiuci was to destroy the eleven states of the Western Regions such as the Cheshi State. If the Xiongnu did not go south but attacked Wusun in the northwest after solving the eleven states such as Cheshi, then Qiuzi would naturally be able to breathe. In this way, Qiuzi does not have the eagerness and desire of Wusun and Cheshi for marriage.

On the premise of not affecting the preparation of the northern front, King Qiuci only symbolically sent an envoy to Xilin, the political center of the Han Dynasty, and King Qiuci and King Dawan united to put forward their own demands on the above two Western Regions powers, which seemed more like a kind of coercion and statement?

As for the actions of the small countries in the Western Regions, not to mention, everything is possible under the influence of interests, a small turmoil was disturbed by the Huns, and the originally unstable Western Regions was even in danger of the collapse of the alliance under the conspiracy of the Huns......

Wei Li, the envoy of Wusun in Xilin, felt his scalp tingle after thinking about it for a while, if he didn't meet with the ruler of the Han Department quickly, and wait for two more months to wait for the spring to come, as soon as the Huns moved, then the Western Regions would really be in danger!

In fact, Lin Bin has already noticed the situation in the Western Regions, but he only paid attention to it and did not plan to come forward, the weak Western Regions are not in the interests of the Han Department, and at the same time, the powerful Western Regions are not in the interests of the Han Department, after all, he has already had the idea of becoming the master of the Western Regions, and in the conception that the Western Regions is the base for the Chinese nation to move westward, and the Western Regions are neither weak nor strong is really in line with the interests of the Han Dynasty!

A Western Regions that is not weak and not strong can resist the invasion of the Huns, but most of the territory of the Western Regions will fall, and the Xiongnu will purge the occupied territories of the Western Regions first, and the war will greatly weaken the people of the Western Regions. It can be said that waiting for the Xiongnu and the Western Regions War to be exhausted was the time when the Han Ministry entered the Western Regions, and at that time, Lin Bin didn't need much effort to get a Western Regions that could be controlled in a short period of time.

Lin Bin hated his relatives very much, he never felt that the hope of a nation should be based on selling his own women! Even if one's own nation stands in the position of the strong, it is a mistake to bestow on the weak. Is peace or union built on a woman's bosom reliable? History has been told countless times! The men of the nation have not yet died, relying on women to beg for mercy is a ruling regime insulting its own nation with practical actions, and every time it is the person in power who raises his hand to fan the mouth of the army under the rule.

The Western Han regime has made peace four times, and each time the Liu dynasty selects a woman who is not of Liu blood, gives the title of princess, and then marries the Xiongnu. What does this remind me of? It's as if the Eight-Nation Coalition has invaded the city of Beijing, and some people are still snickering at the small gate instead of the middle gate.

Lin Bin knew that the relationship between his adopted daughter Lingzi and the little prince of Wusun, Cen Jun, was very good, and he originally had no opinion on the private relationship between the two little guys, but now he couldn't help but think: "Was that old guy in Wusun premeditated?" That's why Cen Junxu was left in Xilin! ”

Obviously, once he got involved with politics, Lin Bin instinctively showed disgust, and he rejected and incomparably rejected marrying the princess of his own clan by acting in the country. He is no longer as open-minded in his dealings with the two little ones as he used to be, and is consciously reducing the contact between the two little ones, and must draw a line before the childhood friendship turns into admiration, and whether the two little ones will have an opinion is not considered.

It must be solemnly stated that Lin Bin has never had the idea of coexisting with Wusun, he has always used Wusun and even the entire Western Regions, sooner or later it will be annexed, and it is necessary to make some efforts, but whether it is for the present or the future, it is impossible to make peace with each other!

Of course, Lin Bin didn't tell anyone about that idea, and the ancients wouldn't understand what he was carrying and what he thought, as if he had never understood what the ancients were thinking.

However, some dramas still have to be performed, and when the envoys from other Western Regions countries came to Xilin without fear of hardships, Lin Bin was not very willing to come forward.

Lin Bin was surprised to find a situation, almost all the states in the Western Regions brought their first heirs to Xilin, and it seemed that the wealth and entourage brought by the states in the Western Regions were extremely large, he was very angry at first, thinking that it was an irrational provocation, but later he reacted under Han Anguo's awakening.

War was about to break out again, and the states of the Western Regions were looking for a reason to send their first heir to safety, and they also brought the necessary funds of rich countries, which was a precaution and on the other hand, an expression of their lack of confidence in winning the war with the Xiongnu.

With too many people stirring up the situation and Lin Bin's avoidance, the envoys of Wusun, Cheshi, and Qiuzi basically had no chance to ask, and time passed quietly in a strange atmosphere......

Winter passed and spring came, the grassland re-sprouted, and after a winter of preparation, the Xiongnu court began its own action in the first season after the snow melted.

The military minister Shan Yu really sent envoys as expected by several high-level officials of the Han Ministry, and almost as soon as the winter passed, the envoy group of the Huns set off from the Wolf Juxu Mountain, their destination was of course Xilin, and there was only one mission to come to the Han Ministry: "to ask Lin Bin for land and water." To put it bluntly, it is to ask Lin Bin whether to surrender or go to war, there is no third choice.

The envoys sent by the Xiongnu to Xilin were not the only ones, and the military ministers also sent envoys to the farther Dayue, Kangju, Wei's Korea, Nanwo, Beiwo, and of course, including the Han Dynasty's Son of Heaven and Huainan Dynasty, and other forces that had borders or connections with the Xiongnu.

This spring is a time to prepare for war, and when autumn comes, war is inevitable, and Lin Bin has never been a person who is willing to stand in a passive position, he is shouting for war, and he has already sent his own legions!
