Ili River Valley, Wusun Daying.

Hunting arrogantly grimaced, silent.

The envoy of the Right Virtuous King stood opposite him, with his hands behind his back, his neck tilted, and he looked at the hunt with his nostrils, and the corners of his mouth reached the base of his ears.

Some of the generals in the tent bowed their heads, and some watched from the sidelines, daring to be angry but not daring to speak. An army of 50,000 led by King Youxian and King Rizhu is approaching, and Wusun is not an opponent at all. Not to mention anything else, just providing 50,000 troops of cattle, sheep, grain and grass is enough to empty Wusun's family.

Usun has been fighting for the past two years, but has not achieved any decent victories. Without the replenishment of the booty, their wealth was shrinking sharply, and it was already unsustainable for themselves, where were there still so many cattle, sheep, grain and grass for the Huns.

However, if you don't give it, you can't do it, and you should lose yourself in the hunt. The failure of this western expedition, King Youxian could not explain to Shan Yu, and the Wusun people who retreated without permission became the most suitable scapegoats. Even if the hunting arrogant complaint is filed in front of Shan Yu, the right virtuous king has something to say. What's more, the strength of the Hun Evil King, which has the best relationship with Wusun, has been greatly reduced, and it is simply not enough to compete with the Right Virtuous King by hunting arrogance.

Stretching out the head is a knife, and shrinking the head is also a knife. The Wusun people are in a dilemma.

The pressure to hunt for arrogance is even greater. If he can't solve this crisis, he will be the one to be solved. There was more than one person staring at Kunmi's position, and several of his uncles and cousins were not peaceful people.

What to do? Hunter frowned, and was about to speak, when the tent door was pushed open. Hunt Jiaomi glanced at it, and his heart was inexplicably happy. This is the attendant next to the Yan family, seeing that his face is tired, and there are snowflakes on his head and shoulders. I think I came from Akaya Castle. Fortunately, his eyes were calm. It's not like bad news.

The attendant glanced at the tent. I was stunned for a moment. Hunting Jiaomi gave him a look in time, stood up, and smiled at the envoy of the Right Virtuous King: "The envoy has worked hard from afar, please go to the big tent next to him to rest for a while." I'll think about it and reply as soon as possible. ”

The messenger snorted and walked away, not giving the hunt the slightest face. The corners of Hunter's eyes jumped, but he didn't attack. The eagle-like gaze swept over the generals present, taking in their expressions. Feeling the anger of the hunt, those who had different thoughts couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly hid their careful thoughts, loudly condemning the arrogance and rudeness of the Huns.

Hunter waved his hand arrogantly, turned around and entered the back tent. The attendant of the Yan clan followed, knelt down on one leg in front of Hunter Jiaomi, and made a big salute. Hunter Jiaomi's heart moved, and he couldn't help but straighten his waist. Arekan has always been domineering, and the attendants around her are also more arrogant. It's the first time I've been so respectful.

"What's the matter?"

"Kunmi. Yan said that the Huns marched westward and gained nothing, so they would inevitably anger Kunmi. Please be prepared. ”

Hunter Jiaomi snorted: "The Yan clan is really far-sighted, what else?" ”

He also said that if the Huns withdrew their troops, they were likely to pass through Wusun, first, to extort money nearby, and second, to show off their military might. Please don't be rash and conflict. The Right Virtuous King is the leader of the right department, and he needs to save some face for Shan Yu. ”

Hunting Jiao's eyes flashed, he muttered for a moment, and his face softened a little.

"The Yan clan is worried that the Huns will ask for grain, grass, cattle and sheep, she has already started to buy, please Kunmi must promise the right Xian King, don't lose a big ...... because of a small loss"

"Where do we still have so many cattle and sheep?" Hunter frowned again.

"The Yan family took out all the compensation and bought it from Qiuzi, Gumo, and Wensu, and also asked people to go as far as Shule and Shache, and did everything they could to make Kunmi not embarrassed. However, the Yan family also asked Kunmi to tell King Youxian that before this, the Han people had bought a lot of cattle and sheep, and it was really difficult to say whether they could meet King Youxian's requirements in the end. ”

Hunter laughed silently. He understood what Arekan meant, and guessed the reason for Arekan's sudden change of temperament. There must be Dongfang Shuo in this. Putting the blame on the Han people at this time can divert the anger of King Youxian and relieve the pressure on Wusun. And Dongfang Shuo dared to say this, Liang Xiao was probably ready to fight, just waiting to hit the Right Xian King.

If King Youxian suffered in front of Liang Xiao, could he still be so arrogant?

"Is Dongfang Shuo still in Akiti City?"

"It's still there, but it's going to be gone soon. King Qiuzi sent an envoy and invited him to Qiuzi as a guest. ”

"Turtles?" Hunting arrogance comprehends. He had roughly guessed Liang Xiao and Dongfang Shuo's plan, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief and rejoiced.

It was the right choice to accept Dongfang Shuo's suggestion and turn enemies into friends with Liang Xiao.

――

Akaya Castle, a high platform facing a snow-capped mountain, Dongfang Shuo was wrapped in a bearskin and sat cross-legged on a wide high-backed chair.

Originally nomadic, Wusun was accustomed to sitting on the ground - only instead of kneeling like the Han Chinese, but sitting cross-legged. After arriving at Akaya Castle, they began to use high tables and chairs, influenced by the west of the Green Ridge.

Oriental Shuo follows the local customs. However, his body was tall and heavy, and the ordinary chair could not bear his weight, and the legs of the chair were too short, which was extremely uncomfortable to sit on. Seeing that he was uncomfortable, Arikan ordered the craftsman to tailor a set of tables and chairs for him.

At this moment, Arekan was curled up and leaning on the chair opposite Dongfang Shuo. For her, this chair is wide, she looks very petite, not like sitting on a chair, but like reclining on a small couch, showing a little lazy, between her eyebrows and eyes there is a little less arrogance, a little more amorous.

"I'm leaving soon." Dongfang Shuo held the big coat, and his broad palm stroked the oily and slippery bear skin. This piece was also given to him by Arekhan, and it is said to be the fur of a giant bear from the far north, which has an excellent warmth effect, even in this ice and snow, Dongfang Shuo does not need to be so bloated, and is still graceful.

"When are you coming again?" Arekan said softly, "I want to ask you to teach Kunmi to read. When he was in the court of the Xiongnu, he admired the Han culture, but he didn't have the opportunity to learn. If I can learn some ways to govern the country from you, I will not be bullied in the future. ”

"I'm definitely coming back." Dongfang Shuo smiled. "What I taught you, you can pass it on to him first."

"I understand your good intentions, but I'm afraid that if I can't tell me, I will let him despise you." Arikan glanced at Dongfang Shuo and pursed his lips and smiled. "Why don't you stay a few more days and help me dredge up and review?"

Dongfang Shuo raised his eyebrows. "I'm afraid it will be difficult to stay for a few more days, but it is possible to hurry up." He beckoned and smiled charmingly. "Sit closer, I'll teach you a little bit of a mastery."

Arekan blushed and looked around. When the maids saw this, they withdrew and closed the door.

"What are you going to teach me?"

"Before leaving, of course, we have to teach some real masters. I once told you that I am from Fairy Island, and you don't believe it. Today, I will teach you some immortal techniques that are not written and passed on by word of mouth, so as to prove that what you say is true. These immortal techniques are passed down from an immortal named Rong Chengzi, and they are ancient secret techniques that cannot be changed. ”

Arekan's face turned even redder, and he glared at Dongfang Shuo, as shy as a girl who had just fallen in love. She hesitated for a moment, stood up, twisted her waist, and slowly walked in front of Dongfang Shuo. Dongfang Shuo lifted the bearskin and hugged her into his arms.

――

Hunting arrogantly worked tirelessly, and personally rushed to the camp of the right virtuous king. As soon as they met, he fell to the ground and pleaded guilty again and again.

King Youxian was surprised. He does have the heart to swallow Wusun, and if he dares to say a word, he will not hesitate to attack. But when Hunter Jiao appeared in front of him, he was a little caught off guard. He had no choice but to help him up and ask about the situation.

It didn't take him any time to speak, so he explained it like a bamboo tube pouring beans. Aliusu invaded Akaya, and Akatani Castle was in danger, and he had to rush back to help. Even so, he failed to kill Aleusu, only to inflict heavy damage on Alusu. Now that Yueshi and Wusun are both defeated, cattle, sheep, grain and grass are exhausted, and this winter is very difficult.

"However, I will never shirk the cattle and sheep that the king needs, and I will do my best to meet the king's requirements. I just ask the king to give me a few days to go and buy from other countries. Even if I sell Akiti Castle, I can't let the king lack food. ”

"Purchasing?" King Youxian snorted coldly, a little disappreciative, a little arrogant. "Take my order, which country dares not to give?"

"The king doesn't know." Hunt Jiaomi reminded: "Now the Han people are in the limelight, and they have bought out a large number of cattle and sheep by relying on their strong financial resources. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have struggled so much. Now if you want to buy enough cattle and sheep for the king, you may have to go as far as Shule and Shache. ”

"Han Chinese?" King Youxian was shocked, stroked his thick beard, and muttered silently.

Wusun is not terrible, but the Han people are a little troublesome. Since Liang Xiao appeared on the grassland, the Huns have never lived in peace. The Evil King was messed up and embarrassed by him. He led an army of 100,000 to the west, originally thinking that he could easily set foot on Dawan and force the king of Dawan to sacrifice Liang Xiao, but he never expected Liang Xiao to run long distances to the rear of the Huns, making him disgraced.

If Liang Xiao went to Dawan, he was only a threat to the right of the Xiongnu, then Liang Xiao's entry into the south of the Tianshan Mountains was to directly cut off a piece of meat from the Huns, and it was a piece of fat. The oasis countries south of the Tianshan Mountains are the granaries of the Xiongnu and the money bags of the Xiongnu, which cannot be lost. If he can't take it back, Shan Yu will definitely not spare him.

The more you think about it, the more uneasy it becomes. "Han Chinese...... So arrogant? ”

Hunter shook his head helplessly. "Liang Xiao is not only good at fighting, but also good at buying people's hearts, and all the countries in the oasis have been bought by him. He also sent an envoy to Akatani Castle and bribed the minister of Wusun with a lot of money, and even tried to kill the envoy but was stopped. It is said that this attack on Daban was due to the help of various countries, and the Guizi people alone dispatched a thousand elites. ”

King Youxian was furious, stood up Teng, and slammed the silver bowl in his hand to the ground. "Is King Qiuzi trying to betray my Great Huns? Kunmi, you and I joined forces to slaughter Qiuzi and divide the country equally. ”

Hunting arrogant hurriedly dissuaded. "The king is angry. Although the city is small, it is not easy to attack. ”

King Youxian felt that Hunting Jiao's words were particularly harsh, as if alluding to his failure to attack Suye City, and he was even more angry. "Do you think I can't even take a little turtle? If you are afraid, flash aside, and I will bear it alone. ”

Hunting arrogance is in the middle of the heart, but his face does not show anything, and he repeatedly persuades him. The more he persuaded, the more annoyed King Youxian became, and without saying a word, he ordered Hunter Jiaomi to raise grain and grass as soon as possible, and personally led the army to the Cheshi, and swore to break through Daban, kill Liang Xiao, and slaughter Guizi.
