Section 1559 Xiongnu Migration to the West (2)
The return of Juli Lake dropped a bombshell on the entire Western Regions. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
When countless kings of the Western Regions heard the news, they immediately took the nobles of the country to Khotan to worship.
Among them, especially the kingdoms of Shache, Qiuzi, Shule and other kingdoms are the most attentive.
King Shule even brought all his wives and concubines and children, and carefully selected dozens of noble beauties from the country and took them to Khotanchi, intending to sacrifice them to Juli Lake to show his loyalty.
Although other countries such as Jimo and Weisu were not as courteous as Shule and other countries, they were also quite active in bringing a large number of wealthy women to lose their sincerity.
Only Loulan, Pu and other national foxes were hesitant and delayed for several days before making a decision.
The king of Loulan was even more worried and uneasy.
"Last year, Juli Lake went west, Shule, Qiuzi, Shache and other countries followed ......each other with nobles and armies," King Loulan said worriedly to his minister: "Now, Juli Lake has returned victorious, and Shule and other countries will surely rise and rise, and their status will be prosperous......
The countries of the Western Regions have always been weak.
In the past, when the Wusun Kingdom existed, the Wusun people were rampant and domineering in the Western Regions, often embezzling the territory and wealth of small countries.
But at that time, the Huns would still restrain and discipline the Wusun people.
I won't let the Wusun people do too much.
But now......
With the Xiongnu in Western Bactria and Kangju, I am afraid that the Western Regions may no longer be regarded as a forbidden country.
What is even more terrifying is that the Huns may encourage the countries of the Western Regions to attack and annex each other.
The reason is simple, the Huns are now in desperate need of thugs and meat shields.
In this way, the peaceful time in the Western Regions will come to an end.
And a small country like Loulan, which is completely dependent on Pu Changhai for nourishment, immediately fell into the crisis of annihilation.
For this, the Loulan nobles have a completely clear understanding.
Although Loulan is small, its population is only tens of thousands.
However, as a kingdom that straddles the Silk Road, the people of Loulan do not have a lot of insight and wisdom.
In particular, the wise men in his kingdom had already understood that the great controversy in the Western Regions had arrived when Wusun was destroyed a few years ago.
It's very simple - the Huns even said that their ally Wusun, who had been supported and cultivated by themselves, would be destroyed, which shows that in the hearts of the Huns, the countries in the Western Regions are all chess pieces and objects that can be sacrificed at any time!
"What the king said is extremely ......" Prime Minister Loulan nodded, he is a typical Loulan person. White-skinned, brown-eyed, hooked nose, wearing a traditional felt hat, he looks very energetic.
The Loulan people are an extremely ancient race with a long history.
Their ancestors, from one of the cradles of human civilization - the valley of the two rivers, belonged to the Guti people, a branch of the Semitic ethnic group, who once dominated the Babylonian Empire for a hundred years.
More than 1,000 years ago, the Sumers overthrew the ancient Babylonian Empire, and a group of Guti people wandered to the east, migrated here, and settled down, which is the ancestor of the Loulan people.
Today's Loulan Kingdom, although it has long forgotten its origin and the story of its ancestors.
But their ancestors still left them with a rich legacy.
The most important of these is the text!
The Loulan people have a complete alphabet system.
Therefore, in terms of culture and civilization alone, the Loulan Kingdom is considered to be top-notch among the countries of the Western Regions.
Unfortunately, due to the thin population and weak force, the Loulan people actually had no say in the Western Regions.
The Huns looked down on the Loulan people, but they simply liked the women and wealth of Loulan.
In the face of such a situation and situation, even the most famous wise man in the Loulan Kingdom, the Prime Minister of Loulan could not come up with any good countermeasures.
He sighed and said to his king: "However, my Loulan is only a small country, and I have no ability and strength to compete with a strong country like the Xiongnu...... Even, even if the strength of the entire Western Regions is gathered, it is not the opponent of the Huns......"
Four or five years ago, the war between the Xiongnu and Wusun shook the entire Western Regions.
Wusun - a once powerful kingdom, tens of thousands of iron horsemen, a majestic power.
But in front of the Hun cavalry, just like a child, it was easily suppressed.
The heads of the defeated Wusun nobles were twisted off by the Hun cavalry and inserted into the royal capitals of the Western Regions.
The godless heads shocked every kingdom in the Western Regions and told them the truth of this world.
But there is hope for the king of Loulan......
His hope lies in the east, on the other side of the distant mountains and deserts, south of the mountains and rivers, that glorious and mighty empire.
King Loulan will not forget that back then, there was a Han Dynasty mission that passed through his kingdom.
The envoy of the Han Dynasty once told him that the great and holy Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty was merciful and generous, and once the powerful Han army arrived in the Western Regions, it would liberate all the countries in the Western Regions and spread the gospel from the Han Dynasty throughout the world.
But now, the army of the Han Dynasty is still thousands of miles away.
King Loulan sent envoys to the East many times in an attempt to contact the Han Dynasty, but there was no response.
The envoys all disappeared between the vast desert and the Gobi.
Thinking of this, King Loulan couldn't help but sigh, a little melancholy.
He didn't know how long he would have to wait until the Han envoy said that the 'great king' came to settle himself and his kingdom.
……………………………………………………
Khotanese pool.
The fox deer walked through this huge barracks with impotence.
Hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war and slaves taken back from the Western Regions have been living in the dome one by one, trembling and trembling, and they have already accepted their fate.
A large number of beauties are gathered together and guarded by special people.
In the future, they will become an important resource for the Xiongnu to encircle and unite the country.
Heaps of gold and wealth were piled up like garbage in the camp.
"Da Dan's westward expedition has taken an important step in the revival of my Great Huns......" Hulu Shi said to Yang Zhi: "Now, my Great Huns have established a city in the Kangju country in the West, called 'Shan Yu City', and Shan Yu ordered the left general Lan Shi to be stationed in the local area, and from then on, my Hun army can be completely safe in the westward expedition......
Yang Yan listened, and in his heart he remembered the location of Shan Yucheng and the city.
This is vital intelligence!
There was a smile on his face, and he said, "Congratulations to Tu Lu, ......."
Fox Lu Shibu also smiled very happily. According to the information he obtained, this impotent family had been executed by the emperor of the Han Dynasty on the charge of 'collaborating with the enemy'.
In other words, this precious high-level intellectual, who had received the system and complete education of the Han Dynasty, could only follow him with all his heart from then on.
Of course, he still has to find an opportunity to 'pretend' to be careless and let Yang Yan know this fact.
But there's no hurry, you can wait a little longer.
Hulu Shi needed a loyal minister who was completely useful to him, just like the allusions he had seen in the history books of the Han Dynasty where the wise and virtuous ministers met.
Only such a minister can plan wholeheartedly for him and his empire.
"The kings of the Western Regions will also come to this Khotanese pool in the near future......" Hulu Shek suddenly diverted the topic, asked Yang Gang, and said: "Sir, last time, I discussed with this king the solution of the countries of the Western Regions, I heard Mr.'s strategy, very exquisite, I have conveyed Mr.'s suggestion to Shan Yu, Shan Yu heard the great joy, I want to ask Mr. face-to-face, and please Mr. look at the face of this king, for my Great Hun to elaborate and plan the solution of the countries of the Western Regions......"
The thirty-six countries of the Western Regions are the most valuable wealth left by Lao Shangdan Yu to the Huns.
In the past few decades, relying on the wealth and food of the countries in the Western Regions, the Xiongnu people have such a strong power.
Even, the Xiongnu Empire was able to retain its heritage and strength after successive defeats, and all of it was due to the world that Lao Shangshan had laid down.
There is a weak kingdom here, and there is a wealth of goods.
The Huns didn't even need to interfere and squeeze too much, they could easily harvest a large amount of wealth.
And this time the Western Expedition is also thanks to the support of the countries of the Western Regions.
In particular, more than a dozen countries, such as Qiuzi, Shache and Shule, also sent troops to accompany them.
Although the armies of these kingdoms were useless, even the Western Bactria armies could not defeat them.
But they helped escort prisoners of war and transport supplies along the way, and they made a lot of efforts.
Juli Lake and Hulu Shebu are very satisfied.
And the original suggestion that the Xiongnu should mobilize the armies of various countries in the Western Regions to accompany them was precisely the dedication of Yang Gang.
The reason given by Yang Yan at the beginning was also very simple - although the armies of the countries in the Western Regions were weak, they were very suitable to use as cannon fodder.
Sure enough, the more than 10,000 men and horses from the countries of the Western Regions did not help much during the war.
However, they diligently helped the Huns to escort and manage various prisoners of war and transport supplies, so that the journey of the Hun army was smooth and smooth.
And the impotence that offered advice was naturally looked up to by Fox Deer and Juli Lake.
I think this person is indeed a talent!
As soon as he came back this time, Yang Yan offered another strategy.
This policy made the Huns even more happy.
After listening to Hulushe's relay, Juli Lake even slapped his thigh happily, and couldn't wait to order Hululu to bring Yang Yan immediately, and Julihu even said to the left and right: "This must be the son of the Huns!" ”
The prestige of Zhang Zifang of the Han Dynasty has been widely known now with the deepening of the sinicization of the upper echelons of the Xiongnu aristocracy.
The image of waiting for no last resort is even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
It is almost comparable to the image of Zhuge Liang in the hearts of Mongolia and Jiannu when "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was popular all over the world.
To be able to get such high praise and evaluation from the Huns, the strategy offered by Yang Yan is relatively clever.
At least in the eyes of the Huns.
It can even be called the Xiongnu's 'plan to end the Western Regions problem'.
Yang Yan looked at the fox deer, although his face was full of smiles, but his heart was overturned, and he was a little emotional.
He originally offered a plan to let the Huns recruit soldiers and horses from various countries in the Western Regions to accompany him, but in fact, he harbored evil intentions.
Because he knew that the countries of the Western Regions and the Xiongnu were actually at odds with each other, and the brutal rule of the Xiongnu had already ruined their reputation among the countries of the Western Regions.
Therefore, once the Xiongnu's war in the West is frustrated, then these soldiers and horses in the Western Regions who have their own ghosts and hatred for the Huns may be able to give the Huns a knife in the back.
But Yang Yan didn't calculate it at all - even the Hun army, which suffered heavy losses in the battle of Yan Ji and had suffered a serious decline in strength, went to the west, but it was like a god and demon descending to the earth, looking down on it.
Almost invincible.
If you fight Great Xia, you will surrender to Great Xia, and if you attack Kangju, you will bow down to Kangju.
Even the people of the Yue clan could only flee hundreds of miles west.
Along the way, the Hun army, from one victory to another.
And these soldiers and horses in the Western Regions who followed the actions of the Xiongnu soldiers also took full advantage of this, and even worshiped the Huns.
The script he originally designed was thus unrecognizable.
Under the influence of this, the prestige and cohesion of the Xiongnu among the countries of the Western Regions increased greatly.
If this continues, the countries of the Western Regions may become a community of interests with the Xiongnu.
This is something that Yang Yan is unwilling to face.
There is no way, he can't do it, he can only have another plan.
After careful consideration, Yang Gang made a plan to Hulu in the name of uniting the forces of the countries in the Western Regions, so that the Xiongnu could strengthen their control over the countries in the Western Regions.
As soon as this strategy came out, the Huns were really like a heavenly sound!
In the eyes of the Xiongnu, the 36 countries of the Western Regions have always been just a blood bag.
The docile and weak people of the Western Regions could hardly arouse the murderous intent of the Huns.
After all, how could a normal person be willing to kill a hen that lays golden eggs?
However, in line with the intention of separating the Western Regions from the Xiongnu, Yang Xuan took advantage of the greed and ambition of the Xiongnu to lobby Hulushe.
made Hulu Shi agree with the theory of impotence, and then lobbied for Juli Lake.
Now it seems that Lian Ju Lihu also agrees with his plan.
It's just that......
In Yang Gang's heart, he faintly felt that something was wrong.
Because, although the strategy he offered harbored evil intentions, it was to make the Huns and the countries of the Western Regions separate from Germany and let the Western Regions be in turmoil.
But, just in case, the Huns made this plan happen.
Then, the power of the Huns will skyrocket, and they can even completely control the entire 36 countries of the Western Regions.
After the last failure, Yang Yan was a little less confident.
However, now, he has no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Since Tu Lu is trusted, he will do his best to plan for Tu Luxury......"
"Good!" Hulu Shi laughed very happily, in his eyes, Yang Lu, a high-ranking civil official of the Han Dynasty, had been gradually recovered by him.
This feeling made Fox Lu more happy than he had won the battle.
"I heard that some nobles offered advice to Da Shan Yu and proposed that the Xiongnu move westward?" Yang Yan suddenly asked, "I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”
This is the thing that Yang Yan has paid the most attention to these days.
If this is true, then this means that what the Son of Heaven feared most at the beginning may have happened - the Huns were preparing to abandon the northern part of the Makubei and migrate westward to avoid the Han army.
Once this comes true, it can be said to be a disaster for the Han family!
After moving thousands of miles west, the Huns would have more time to recuperate.
The Han Empire, on the other hand, may be entangled in the Makubei and Hexi and Western Regions, and this time may be measured in ten years.
Once this happens, it is very likely that the Huns will take the lead and occupy the rich and vast body.
And then......
Even if the last poisonous person dies, the Great Huns will never give in!
