CHAPTER XXII
Chen Yun finally met the Xiongnu envoy hidden in a small wooden house, a man in his twenties who had turned into a refugee, but he was indeed a Han Chinese, and spoke fluent Chinese.
"Villain Murong Ming, meet Yanhou."
"Are you Han?" Chen Yun captured his handsome face.
"The villain is of the Xianbei tribe, but the mother is indeed Han, so she also speaks Chinese well!"
"Good! What do you have to say? ”
"Just to say that the land promised by Yan Hou is far more barren than Zhao Hou's."
Chen Yun sneered: "Shan Yu doesn't know the momentum of the enemy and me?" Zhao Hou is far away from the battlefield, but I am at the forefront of the battlefield. ”
"Shan Yu also knew that Yan Hou was in the grain robbery team of the Xiao Cavalry Camp, and he admired Yan Hou very much."
"No wonder...... I'll send you here to wait for me. ”
"Shan Yu said that he fought several times, but he couldn't meet face-to-face, so I deeply regret that you don't dare to fight directly every time, but now there are still hundreds of pairs of divine armor hanging outside Shan Yu's account, so Shan Yu said that if we go south, I'm afraid Yanzhou will be ruined!"
"Field warfare is different from siege, you try?"
Shan Yu also expected Yan Hou to say this, but Shan Yu has heard the good name of Yan Hou for a long time, if Yan Hou can do what Empress Lu promised, Rou Ran Yuan and Yan generations will be friendly...... Even...... Help Yanhou chase the Central Plains! ”
"Bold!" Yanhou Chen Yun's eyes widened and he shouted loudly.
Back then, Han Gaozu had besieged the Xiongnu in Baideng, and Empress Lu sent a letter to Yu, almost promising to make a personal promise, and now the content of what Murong Ming said is almost **, and in the end it is even more rebellious, and Yan Hou and Xiang Yun and others can't help but change color.
Murong Ming's eyes were like knives: "The two armies in the southwest originally had a sense of competition, Shan Yu was the leader of the alliance, if he was ridiculed by the Western Army, our Huns took the strong man as the king, and the most respected was the hero, so how could Shan Yu have the face to face Helian on the Western Road?" How to convince the public? Could you please show Yan Hou? ”
It turns out that ** is false, and the force is true.
"What a Murong Ming, not only did he dare to come to my village alone, but he also spoke sharply, like your problem has become my problem! All right! I can open an extra area and send some gold and silver, but I have one condition. ”
"Please show Yan Hou, the villain must do his best to win it for Yan Hou."
"That's what I want! My condition is - give you to me as a slave! ”
Murong Ming's eyes were full of doubts, but there was also a kind of fanaticism for danger, and Chen Yun was greatly satisfied: "Don't worry, as long as you can use me, I will let you enjoy the glory and wealth that you never dared to imagine." ”
******
Sima Dan, Xiao Min, Long Er, Deng Bing, Gao Chun, and Niu Tian rode extremely fast, and after about 20 days, they passed through the grasslands of the southern Gobi and far crossed the Xiongnu Western Route Army, which was still "rectified" on the Zhaozhou Road.
Sima Dan has never left Xiao Min's side, but Xiao Min is only lukewarm to him, Sima Dan is just kind words to persuade him, but it is useless.
On this day, the group arrived at an ancient well, and the wooden fence around the ancient well had been burned down, but there was a wooden house in which an old man lived.
It is close to the edge of a small country in the Western Regions, and it is natural for people to live, but Lao Suo is not like an ordinary small citizen of the Western Regions, he is actually a Han person, who is responsible for serving the small country and the moon here as the eyes and ears of the border.
It turned out that this area was uninhabited, and Da Yue knew that there was a threat to the Xiongnu from the east, so he sent people to stay here.
Two months ago, Lao Suo knew that the Xiongnu were going south, but he didn't know whether the target was the Western Regions or the Central Plains, so he sent a fast horse to Dayue City, and the wooden shed here burned down early, as long as he saw the Xiongnu westward from a distance, he would abandon the house and flee.
When everyone was inquiring with Lao Suo, Xiao Min went to the well alone to fetch water, looking at the lonely shadow of the well water in the barrel, Xiao Min couldn't help but cry.
When Sima Dan saw it, he couldn't help but feel like a knife, and walked to her side: "Xiaomin, if you ignore me like this, it's better to kill me, seeing you like this, I can't explain it, it's really worse than death!" ”
Xiao Min finally couldn't help crying: "You know that I won't kill you, do you?" Fuck me off, I'll ignore you! "The grievances of so many days finally couldn't bear it today and broke out.
Sima Dan: "It's okay if you don't kill me and beat me, you don't know that I really can't stand your sadness, it's okay if you ignore me but don't be sad!" As he spoke, his eyes were red, and tears welled up.
"Don't say any more!" Xiao Min turned around and left in a fit of rage, not even drinking water.
Sima Dan looked at her back dejectedly, at a loss.
Long Er and the others then persuaded the two of them to get on their horses, and the destination was Dayue City, which was not far away.
Long Er immediately reported: "The King of the Great Moon has always been very wary of the Huns, but if the Huns really come, he will definitely ask for surrender, after all, with such a small city, they can't fight against the Rouran Alliance, and they also know that the Huns are going south, and now the whole country is watching, so if we go from here, we will soon meet their sentinels." ”
Deng Bing: "If we get there, it will be easy to be given to the Xiongnu as tribute." ”
Sima Dan has not been able to concentrate, only looking at Xiao Min's back in his eyes, and Long Er and the others can only sigh when they see it in their eyes.
Long Er was born in the Xiongnu and is naturally familiar with this area: "Since Emperor Guang expelled the Hu people from the Central Plains, these people have become a nest of porridge in the Western Regions, and some people have obeyed the Xiongnu and become their tribes, such as Xianbei, who have moved from the western grasslands to the north and become a large tribe under the rule of Rouran, and the small countries that were once established here in the Han Dynasty have also been fragmented and become small cities, such as Dayue, Qiuzi, Yanqi, Shanshan, Jingjue, etc., some simply become nomadic and collude with the Xiongnu without settlement, Become the protector of this area, such as Kangju, Cheshi, etc., and some have become horse thieves, in short, it is much more chaotic here than the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, many countries prospered overnight, died overnight, I left for a few years, maybe some countries have been destroyed. ”
Gao Chun asked, "How big is Big Moon City?" ”
Long Er: "It's a lot, there is the Silk Road, one of the important passes, rich and leaking, so there are a lot of mercenaries, they are also very generous to the Huns, so it has been peaceful for more than ten years, about 20 years ago this city was slaughtered, and the people who entered the city became a country of their own, which is one of the Yue clans, now called the Great Moon King, and it is said that the Great Moon King is a queen. ”
Ushida was puzzled: "Queen? ……”
Long Er replied: "There are also many small tribes within the Yue Clan, like Xianbei, in fact, they are also divided, and many of those who were expelled from the Western Regions back then went to the west to become the Great Xia Kingdom, and many of the tribes that entered the Great Moon can have special folk customs." ”
Sima Dan shouted: "Xiaomin! What should we do? He really wanted Xiao Min to say a word to himself.
Xiao Min was lazy: "Let's sneak into the big moon and wait for the opportunity to move." ”
Long Er also nodded: "Since the prince wants to move the trouble of Eastern Wu this time, I think it is necessary to enter Dayue City, otherwise we will not make a difference." ”
Sima Dan nodded: "If the Xiongnu don't go west, the people of Yan and Zhao will pay a greater price, we can only attract the Xiongnu here, if we can, we will unite the countries of the Western Regions and give the Xiongnu a head-on blow!" ”
Gao Chun excitedly shouted: "Long live the prince!" Every time the Xiongnu come south, Yanzhou will sacrifice some areas to loot, the men in the north are not angry, Yanzhou soldiers are not bad, I really don't understand why Yanhou wants to be like this? In short, if I follow the prince now, I am willing to die a thousand times! ”
Sima Dan's face turned red and smiled.
Long Er nodded: "They can not only preserve their strength by doing this, but also create a border trouble that will be destroyed without a day, and the enemy will be self-respecting, and the three towns will become stronger and stronger, which will lead to a catastrophe sooner or later!" ”
Xiao Min finally stopped the horse and said to Long Er: "Your words have been the most far-sighted in so long, I hope you can do the same in the future!" ”
The dragon's ears turned red.
Xiao Min had always been unimpressed by Long Er's wit, but she had nothing to say about his loyalty, she looked at Sima Dan again, snorted coldly, and pulled her horse forward.
Everyone Guo met the sentinels of Dayue soon after, but everyone only said that they were traveling in business, and they had to give up their goods to avoid the Huns.
A few days later, everyone finally entered the Great Moon City. After several military disasters, Dayue City did not see any signs of ruin, the city gate was quite magnificent, and the population was more than 100,000, which could be said to be a metropolis in the Western Regions.
"Let's go inside! The adventure of the Western Regions is about to begin! Sima Dan perked up, tried his best to drive away the shadow in his heart, and waved his arms.
