The western frontier in late spring is shrouded in a deep blue sky. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoShortly after the sun rises, through the gaps in the peaks, a ray of sunlight spreads across the brown-yellow valley.

The golden sunlight shone on the armor, helmets, and weapons of the coalition cavalry in the hidden valley, reflecting countless cold and solemn lights.

This cold light was like the gaze of the coalition cavalry in the direction of Kütz City, full of coldness, hatred, and even cruelty.

There was silence all around the canyon, except for flags of various sizes fluttering. Lying at their sides were the remnants of the Tianshan Mountains that stretched for hundreds of miles, and the folds that continued to stretch and rise.

The narrow, undulating terrain makes the valley a hinterland that is ideal for hiding soldiers.

Less than two miles in front of all the cavalry was an open meadow slope from the bottom up, on which the kings of Wusun and the kings of the Woopan were standing on horseback, looking south.

Suddenly, a horse was galloping in the distance, and King Wusun looked at it and saw that it was a coalition scout. I saw that the scout bypassed the phalanx of cavalry that had bypassed the array, and rushed towards the location of the king of Wusun and the king of the city, until he stopped his horse under the banner of the black-faced king.

The scout grabbed the reins, and without waiting for the horse to fully stand firm, he handed over his hand and reported: "Report to the two kings, under the city of Quci, the Yan army is hunting with banners, and the number of men and horses is about 70,000. ”

"Have you ever seen the banner of King Yan's army?" Dressed in armor, wearing a bronze helmet and a red battle robe, straddling a black horse, King Wusun with a short beard asked with a serious expression.

"The dust in front of the battle covered the sun, and the subordinates couldn't tell it."

"Well, the order goes down: the army must be noisy, and you must not go out without an order! The scouts continue to inquire for information and report back as soon as there is definite news. ”

"Obey!" With a wave of his hand, the scout immediately turned around and rode away.

At this time, wearing a black robe, the king of about fifty years old came over and said, "King Wusun, this king has nothing to say, I don't know if I can talk about it?" ”

"The king is polite, Brother Wang has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, and the widow listens to it."

The king took the reins of the horse, paused slightly, and said: "Although a certain is not a famous general, he has also heard that the use of troops should be adapted to local conditions, and it is best to be flexible and good. Today, our coalition army set up an ambush to wait for the Yan army, like guarding the withered branches and waiting for the cunning rabbit, if the Yan King failed to enter, but what can be done? ”

King Wusun laughed: "Today's breaking Yan, whether it is successful or not depends on luring the enemy." I think that King Yan boasts of being a famous general, since the conquest, he will win the battle, attack must win, and he has not tasted defeat! How can you take us and the rest of the Western Regions alliance to heart? A certain king of Yan must think that we are all local chickens and dogs, and will definitely chase after them and take risks to go deep into the hinterland in person. ”

"But I didn't know that we had already laid out a killing game, just waiting for it to come in. As long as King Qiuzi can contain the Yan army head-on, the morale of the Yan army will inevitably drop if it cannot be attacked for a long time, and when I will kill 70,000 cavalry together, I am afraid that I will not be able to hit the Yan army hard? ”

"What about after the blow?" The King of Pleasure suddenly spoke.

"What...... Afterwards? King Wusun was immersed in the beautiful fantasy of capturing King Yan alive, and he didn't hear what the other party said for a while.

"This king's question is what to do when the coalition army successfully defeats the Yan army?"

"After defeating the Yan army, it is natural to go back to their own homes and find their own ......"

King Wusun stopped in the middle of speaking, and he suddenly understood the true intention of the king. Originally, King Wusun didn't take the old King of Pleasure in his eyes, but he had to put away his contempt just after a conversation. While he was still busy calculating how to defeat the current Yan army, people had already begun to think about post-war issues.

"The Yan army came to the west to completely break the original balance of all parties in the Western Regions, and once the Yan army failed and retreated, the countries would inevitably not be able to continue to maintain the alliance, but a new round of annexation wars might break out."

"The former brother of Wusun and Wusun should form an alliance in the future, with a view to striving for the greatest interests of the two countries in the next great changes."

When King Wusun heard King Yu say that the two countries were brothers, he couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart. If you really want to talk about it, the two countries are not only not brothers, but have a deep blood feud.

The Xiongnu Beidan was broken by Geng Kui, the commander of the Han Zuo, and fled to Wusun, and some of the Northern Xiongnu who were unwilling to move west stayed in the northwest of Wusun and often harassed the Wusun country.

After decades of tug-of-war between the two countries, part of the Wusun forces were gradually annexed by the Northern Xiongnu, and then the Northern Xiongnu and the Wusun people merged to form a new tribal alliance state, the Yuban State.

Back then, King Wusun didn't think about finding a person to take revenge, but people were also not easy to provoke, so that the two countries fought and cooperated, and now they united again to deal with the Yan army.

Putting aside the grievances between the two countries, King Wusun had to say that King Yue's proposal was very attractive. Before the Yan army's westward expedition, there had been many annexation wars in the Western Regions, and countless small countries were annexed by powerful countries such as Qiuci, Khotan, and Shule, and later even moderately powerful countries such as Shule were indirectly controlled by Qiuci.

"Doesn't King Wusun have the ambition to dominate the Western Regions?" The king's eyes flashed, and he continued to bewitch.

"How easy is it to unify the Western Regions?" King Wusun said dejectedly, of course he wanted to unify the Western Regions, but he also knew that Wusun alone was not capable of subduing all countries.

"If King Wusun has this ambition, this king is willing to help, and you and I are still afraid that we will not be able to fight other countries? After the end of the war, the strength of each country will inevitably be weakened a lot, and at that time, the king will take the opportunity to sweep the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains and complete the hegemony of unifying the Western Regions. ”

King Wusun was so enthusiastic by what the king said that he almost couldn't help but agree, but fortunately, at the critical moment, reason overcame the desire to overcome. As the lord of a country, King Wusun is not a stupid person, and King Wusun must have a plan to be so courteous, otherwise why would he support Wusun to unify the Western Regions?

"Hehehe, thank you Brother Wang for your kindness, it's just that this king has something unclear about, and I want to ask for a question or two!"

"Please King Wusun speak bluntly, and you should know everything and say everything."

"This king can't understand, why does he support Wusun to unify the Western Regions? Doesn't that seem to be good for the country? ”

King Yue Pan seemed to have expected King Wusun to have this question, and he said unhurriedly: "Indeed, it is said that the more chaotic the Western Regions, the better it will be for Yue Ban. However, there are exceptions to everything, and the reason why this king fully supports the king's unification of the Western Regions is that he hopes that the king will cede the north of the Tianshan Mountains to me after the matter is completed. ”

"From now on, we will become a country of brothers with Wusun as the boundary of the Tianshan Mountains, and we will never offend each other!"

Looking at the righteous and awe-inspiring King Pan, King Wusun's face was full of horror, he didn't expect the other party to fight this idea. However, even if the two countries are bounded by the Tianshan Mountains, it is still the Wusun State that takes advantage. Because almost all the essence of the Western Regions is at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, although there is also a northern silk road at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, its value is far less than that of the southern and central roads.

King Wusun's eyes flashed, obviously moved by the king of the king, and he asked: "After this battle, our army will inevitably suffer countless losses, how can we have the strength to unify the Western Regions?" ”

Seeing that King Wusun took the bait, King Wu immediately shook his spirit and said: "This king is not talented, there is a plan to minimize the losses of our army." ”

"Oh? Will the plan be settled? King Wusun immediately came and asked with interest.

"Now that the Yan army is about to enter the city of Quci, it will have a bloody battle with the allied infantry, and when our cavalry will attack will determine the size of the allied infantry's losses. If the army had been dispatched earlier, perhaps the infantry of the coalition forces would not have moved, and the implementation of the reunification plan would naturally be hindered in the future. ”

"On the contrary, if there are one or two hours at night, the Yan army and the coalition infantry will definitely be defeated, and then you and I will be able to clean up the remnants of the Yan army without much effort, and then the strength of Qiuci, Khotan and other countries will be greatly damaged, how can we stop the king from unifying the Western Regions?"

"Yes...... But what if Yan Jun accidentally got Qu Ci? ”

"How is this possible? The entire battlefield is under scouts' watch, and if any danger arises, it only takes half a day for the army to rush to the city, so what is there to worry about? ”

Indeed, it seems that there is nothing to worry about, but for some reason, King Wusun always feels that this plan is dangerous, and he does not dare to make a rash decision for a while.

Looking at the indecisive King Wusun, King Yu Pan couldn't wait to go up and slash the other party, but thinking that he had to rely on him to solve the strong enemy Yan Army in front of him, King Yue had no choice but to stand aside and sulk. (To be continued.) )
