Two days later, Wang Chao and his entourage finally saw the crowd. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

But not a village, not a nomadic tribe, but a caravan laden with goods.

The clothing, appearance, and even skin color of these merchants were completely different from those of China, Xiongnu, and even the peoples of the Western Regions that the dynasty had seen.

They were blonde, white-haired, with some raised cheekbones, and as for their clothing, most of them wore only a piece of animal skin.

They drove about dozens of pack horses, and they were quite kind.

The owner of the caravan, who calls himself 'Annabi'.

Of course, this is a transliteration, and it is a second-hand transliteration that was translated from the Western Regions Guide to the dynasty.

Annabi claimed to be a member of the 'akatzir) division, a phrase that would have been pronounced 'Amaki' if pronounced in the Han language.

This is west of Kangju and is said to be close to a more distant western power.

The Amcai people, as a bridge between the East and the West, have been traveling between the East and the West for hundreds of years, transporting silk and spices from the East to the far West, and when Annaby learned that the dynasty and his party were members of the great Han Dynasty mission, he was immediately very enthusiastic about the dynasty, and he even invited the dynasty to visit his tribe, and his king was very willing to contact the great eastern countries (mainly to sell silk).

Wang declined the invitation, but said that in the future, he would definitely send people to more western countries to spread the blessings and virtues of the Han Emperor.

The linguistic and cultural differences here make for an interesting situation.

In Annabi's view, the blessings and virtues in the mouths of these Orientals are roughly equivalent to Zoroastrianism, Ospirin Gods Buddhism, or other religious scenes.

Central Asia during this period was very religiously diverse.

Zoroastrianism, Buddhism, belief in the gods of Ospirin, and even some primitive sects can be found everywhere.

So, Annabi agreed.

This made the dynasty very satisfied.

Well, now, when I return to the court in the future, I can report to the Son of Heaven: The people of Xiancai expressed their willingness to submit to His Majesty......

If there is an opportunity, maybe in the future, there will be future generations, in the land of the country of Xiangcai, set up a stone monument of 'Han Dynasty Cai Kingdom'.

In such a situation, the natural guests and hosts were happy.

The two sides got along very harmoniously for more than ten days, and in the end, the two sides said goodbye at the border between Kangju and Daxia.

As for why not go to Kangju?

This question is easy to answer.

First, it is winter, and the people and tribes of the Kangju people in the south have moved back to their warm north.

This is also the most peculiar place in the country.

The Kangju people are a semi-agrarian and semi-nomadic country.

The vast grasslands to the south are a paradise for nomadic herders, while the warm plains and rivers in the north are fertile for farming.

Every summer, the Kangju people go north to the steppes of the south to herd, and then return to their settlements in the north in the winter to escape the bitter cold.

Therefore, at this time, the Kangju people have basically gone north.

This is also the reason why Wang Chao and others are not inhabited on the territory of the Kangju people.

If Wang Chao and the others wanted to go north, they would have to travel at least thousands of miles.

And the second, and most important reason, the Kangju people are pro-Xiongnu.

It's really puzzling.

After all, as the dynasty knew in the Western Regions, the Xiongnu had made many expeditions to the west in the past few years and had waged several wars with the Kangju people.

The Huns even widely publicized and boasted of their great victory in the Western Regions among the countries of the Western Regions.

In these propaganda, the Huns repeatedly mentioned the achievements of "breaking the big tent of Kangju Wang, obtaining his women and livestock", "Dekangju Zuo's head, and beheading more than 10,000 of his troops".

It stands to reason that even if the Kangju people do not hate the Xiongnu, they should hate the Xiongnu to the core.

But...... That's just the way it is. According to Naanabi, as long as they set foot in the gathering place of the Kangju people, then those Kangju nobles who were eager to establish relations with the Xiongnu and go to worship the Xiongnu Shan Yu would definitely kill them and present their heads to the Xiongnu as gifts.

What Annabi said, though not necessarily true.

But the dynasty could not afford to take the risk.

He went through a lot of hardships, trekking through mountains and rivers all the way, crossing the Gobi and desert, crossing mountains, and crossing rivers.

Moreover, his mission is only to go to the Yueshi, Great Xia, and Shen Poison, contact the countries of the Western Regions, and investigate the local geography, politics and culture by the way.

As for Nakangju, it is purely an incidental goal and is dispensable.

However, the Oktila in the mission has been in a low mood these days.

For, he learned from the mouth of Annabi that his mother country, the holy Greek city-state, which he shared with all the Greco-Macedonians, had once again been bloodied by the Romans.

The vigorous uprising of the Greek city-states failed.

Sparta and Athens, rivers of blood flowed, and thousands of people died.

Carthage, which was once able to compete with Rome, has also fallen into the prelude to destruction.

However, he quickly picked himself up.

Because, the kingdom of Great Xia, that is, the kingdom of Bactria, is already at hand!

…………………………………………

Thousands of miles away, Chang'an City.

Liu Che sat on the main hall of the Xuanshu Hall and accepted the greetings from the envoys of the Northern Xiongnu.

"On the orders of my lord Lihu Shan Yu, the envoy Han Xu worships the emperor of China and respectfully asks the emperor Sheng'an......" is the same as the wording of the Xiongnu envoys in the past.

However, the Xiongnu envoy kneeling in front of Liu Che's eyes was undoubtedly a Chinese with black hair, black eyes and yellow skin.

Judging by his kneeling posture and the way he dressed, he was still an educated scholar.

"Huh...... There are still traitors alive......" Liu Che sneered a few times in his heart.

Over the years, with the strength of the Han dynasty, it has won many battles against the Xiongnu.

Countless officials and aristocrats who had actively or passively defected to the Xiongnu have 'known the times as handsome'.

Either sneaked back quietly, or dragged the family with him, crying father and calling his mother knelt outside the Great Wall gate, begging for forgiveness.

There is no way, the offensive and defensive momentum of Han and Hun today has completely changed.

If you stay in the Xiongnu, you will not only be looked down upon and discriminated against, but you may also be cut off by the Han army who rushed over at any time.

You must know that Liu Che's price to the traitors is very high.

A traitor's head can top the heads of three Hun soldiers!

If you encounter a big traitor, the kind that is recorded, the head of this kind of person is comparable to that of the Hun nobles.

Even his children, wives and daughters are worth a lot!

In short, the traitors who fell into the hands of the Han army, each of them died in a very unique way.

The corpses of the traitors captured in the Battle of Gaoque are still hanging on the tower of Gaoque City!

Those headless corpses frightened almost the entire group of traitors.

Yes, today, there is still a traitor, and this traitor actually dares to come to Chang'an!?

This was really a bit unexpected for Liu Che.

"Kill it!" Liu Che stood up and commanded left and right.

Immediately, a samurai on duty in the temple stepped forward, and the heavy armor trembled, and the sword with cold light was drawn from its scabbard.

"Your Majesty, the two countries will not fight each other, and they will not kill the ......" Then Han Xu seemed to have some psychological quality, and he did not panic, and immediately shouted: "Your Majesty claims to be a holy king, does he not even abide by the basic etiquette?" ”

"Two countries?" Liu Che laughed, he played with the letter of the Hun in his hand, and then suddenly smashed it to the ground: "Where did the two countries come from?" ”

He stood up straight, opened his arms, and hung down in front of his eyes, the sunlight outside the hall refracted on him, making his shadow cast into the solemn Xuanshu Palace, which seemed incomparably deep and tall: "I am commanded by heaven, and I am the lord of the world, and among the four seas, within the Liuhe, and among the eight wildernesses, all are my land!" ”

"The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister!" Dahonglu Gongsun Kunxie also stood up at the right time, with a straight face: "Yunai is not a concubine of Hanchen!" The Xiongnu returned to the righteous Shan Yu and worshiped it, and respected our emperor as 'Tianshan Yu'! ”

The generals also stood up, and one by one tall figures surrounded them, with a fierce and murderous atmosphere.

Those silent warriors were even more merciless in setting up Han Xu.

For them, the will of the Son of Heaven is the Mandate of Heaven!

In Han Xu's heart, he suddenly became a husky!

However, he is full of poetry and books, and he is no stranger to this scene.

During the Warring States Period, the monarchs and ministers of Qiang Qin were so domineering and so rampant.

It's just that the current monarchs and ministers of the Han Dynasty are more explicit and sharp.

Yes, Han Xu was not flustered, he shouted: "Your Majesty wants to behead the foreign minister, why don't you listen to the foreign minister's words, and then it's not too late?" ”

"Put him down!" In the middle of the throne, Liu Che waved his hand and commanded.

With a snap, Han Xu fell on the hard and cold stone slab in the hall, knocking out one of his teeth, and the salty and fishy smell in his mouth all gathered together.

But he didn't dare to scream, and even swallowed the tooth with blood.

Even he, he didn't even dare to show his blood.

There is no way, since ancient times, weak countries have no diplomacy!

He could only choose to lie on the ground, crawl back to his position under the annotation of the generals and ministers of the Han Dynasty and countless warriors, and then waved his long sleeves and bowed: "Your Majesty, the foreign minister is here to negotiate ......peace with Your Majesty under the entrustment of my lord."

And in his heart, Han Xu couldn't wait that he was Jing Ke and Yu Rang.

I can't wait to have a fish intestine sword in my hand at this moment.

It's a pity that he is neither Jing Ke nor Yu Rang, nor does he have a fish intestine sword.

He was just a Confucian and a Ruru.

"Tyrant!" Han Xu raised his head and looked at the man whose appearance was hidden by the Son of Heaven, although everyone in the world called this man the Holy King, and regarded him as a figure like the Three Kings and Five Emperors.

But in Han Xu's eyes, this is indeed a tyrant.

He was originally a child of Qilu's official family, and he lived a rich and happy life since he was a child, with parents and brothers who loved him.

However, a few years ago, a storm swept through Qilu, the four kings came to an end, and Lu Ru's power was shattered.

His father was accused of bribery, greed, dereliction of duty, and preying on the common people...... There were dozens of crimes, and he was beheaded by the court lieutenant in Linzi City, and his body was thrown into a mass grave.

He and his family were kicked out of their once palatial mansion and forcibly relocated to Youbeiping, where the whole family was sentenced to prison.

His elder brother used to be a famous romantic figure in Qilu and an elegant man praised by countless people.

But a sin was tattooed on his forehead, and his hair was shaved.

Insulted by this, the arrogant eldest brother committed suicide by hanging himself from a beam not long after.

When her husband died, and her son died, the mother was heartbroken, and wept all day long, and soon she was gone.

As for him?

After losing all his honor, wealth, status and relatives, he received a letter of divorce from the Jinan Wang family, who had been friendly with his family for generations and were mutual in-laws.

At that time, Han Xu felt that everything was really shattered, and everything was hopeless.

He even thought about suicide at one point.

But he didn't.

Because he wants revenge!

So, on a cold night, he escaped the eyes of the overseers and officials, crossed the mountains, and fled into the Xiongnu.

After several tosses, he endured the white eyes and contempt of countless people in the Huns, and the driving force that supported him to persist until now was revenge.

Revenge on the tyrant and the cool officials, revenge on the court captain, revenge on the king who abandoned him!

Even if he was dressed on the left side, was made a beard, and betrayed the teachings of his ancestors and saints, he would not give up.

In his eyes, this world, this Han family has decayed.

Wufu is the country, and Sven sweeps the floor.

The villain is full of wilderness, inside and outside the court, all of them are well-dressed beasts.

Such a country might as well be completely destroyed!

What's more, Han Xu thought that he had met Lord Ming now.

That Xiongnu is only in Juli Lake, not only advocating and advocating Chinese culture and systems, but also broad-minded, able to employ and win people!

And in his body, there is still Liu's blood flowing, and he is half Chinese.

Han Xu has sworn that he will definitely assist Shan Yu, strengthen the Xiongnu, and in the future, ask this tyrant and his country to repay the blood debt!

But now...... It's not time yet.

Holding back the resentment and anger in his heart, Han Xu bowed and said, "Your Majesty! If Your Majesty is willing to make peace with my lord, then my lord promises that there will be no horse going south, and the two countries will be bounded by the desert and will rest forever! ”

"That's all?" Liu Che raised his eyebrows.

This Hun has a sick brain?

They could go south, but the question was - would they dare?

A lost dog, dare to bare his teeth? Not afraid of being beaten to 13?

Han Xu naturally knew that just like this, it was impossible to reach any agreement, so he bowed again: "In addition, my lord is willing to trade with Your Majesty, exchange gold, slaves, and livestock for Your Majesty's cloth, silk, metal and silk, and exchange what you have!" ”

"Yo!" When Liu Che heard this, he was also a little interested.

It's good to do business!

Liu Che does not refuse to trade with anyone.

Moreover, this proposal of the Huns is quite in line with Liu Che's wishes.

Think about it, the Huns burned, killed, plundered and plundered in front, and did all kinds of evil, and the Han family only needed to sit in the back and cheer and cheer, and they could put most of the Huns' war gains into their own pockets.

Just like the Ming Dynasty, Spain and Portugal worked hard to rob and kill people in the Americas, and in the end, more than seventy percent of the silver in the Americas flowed into China.

It's quite touching to think about.

But here's the thing........................
