5. Internal and external troubles (I)
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
This is a red gold square seal, about three centimeters square and one centimeter thick, engraved with the words "King Wusun of Han". Although the gold seal is not large, it has a lot of weight to start, and it should obviously be pure gold with considerable fineness, which means that this thing is definitely genuine.
In this way, Le Mi, who bears this seal, should indeed be a member of the royal family of the Wusun Kingdom.
However, why did Wusun let his prince carry such a heavy treasure to Dahan? Could it be that he is not afraid of being lost on the road or being used by someone with a heart to do something that makes Wusun's situation more complicated?
"Hehe, although this golden seal is the treasure of my Wusun Kingdom, it is generally enshrined in the temple, and the king also has a seal in his hand that is used to give orders on weekdays, so this seal seems to be of no other use except for its own extraordinary value and can prove my identity, after all, the iron ingot may also be able to be melted into molten iron to cast a sharp weapon to help us fight against foreign enemies."
As if to see the doubts of history, Le Mo explained, but his last words made people feel very uncomfortable.
Perhaps this is what he wants to convey and temptation.
As he said, this seal was given to the king of Wusun by the Han Dynasty and is a symbol of Wusun's attachment to the Han Dynasty. Now Wusun is in danger of annihilating the country, if the Han Dynasty, the former suzerainty of Wusun, is willing to come to the rescue, then this seal naturally has a value consistent with its luxurious material, if the Han is not willing to fight, this is just a piece of gold.
Of course, with this golden seal, he can be recognized by the Han government and then receive enough courtesy in the Han as a dead king, and from this point of view, the fourth prince of Wusun Kingdom named Le Mi has a good relationship with his brother who is the king.
Although, it cannot be ruled out that the king has nothing else to do.
"I don't know what the situation is in Wusun Country now?"
"Xianbei's army of more than 100,000 people is overwhelmed, and although the Wusun people know that they are invincible, they will not give up lightly."
"Oh, it looks like it's none of our business. Anyway, our goal this time is only to open up the connection between Yiwu and Dunhuang, and by the way, let's see if there are any friendly countries willing to talk to us about the exhibition of the Western Regions. ”
"After the Xianbei people obtain Wusun, they can use it as a base to annex the entire Western Regions, and then I am afraid that the Han will have trouble sleeping."
"Since we can make Xianbei Shan Yu and Lian with the power of just one county, and let the leaders and Qianman lose with the power of one state, and now that the Xianbei army is gathered in the Western Regions, it is the time for us to wait for the Han army to pull out the royal court of Danhan Mountain!"
I don't know if it's the general understanding of the Wusun people or the personal opinion of the Wusun envoy in front of me, it seems that the Han must rescue Wusun for the threat of Xianbei, not that Wusun has the trouble of destroying the country and seeking the Han, whether it is from the words or the demeanor is full of uncomfortable feelings, if it is allowed to continue, maybe even if Li Shushi really saves the Wusun people in the fire and water, they will definitely not have a little gratitude, at most they just express their gratitude for the sake of the army, and wait until Li Shushi takes the army away, Perhaps they will trumpet how wise and powerful their leaders are, leading the great people and the humble Han army to win a great patriotic war, which can prove that all reactionaries are paper tigers.
Well, perhaps many years later, the Han army in the literature of the Wusun people was timid and afraid to do all kinds of evil, and if it weren't for the great leader's strong charisma, maybe they would not have had any stories worth remembering in their lives.
I just don't know if there will be legends such as "the great king of Wusun sat in front of the enemy and drank, but the enemy could not hurt him at all", whether you believe it or not, there are always many people who believe it anyway.
Although before arriving in the Western Regions, I had heard more than one person talk about the unruly and uncontrollable words of the Wusun people, but without personal experience, it was always not very clear, and now it seems that it is not only a matter of rebellion, but also a little bit of arrogance.
In other words, the sense of existence of the Han in the Western Regions is always not very strong, which makes these countries in the Western Regions somewhat despise the Tianwei of the Han Dynasty.
For them, the Han is more like a means they use to balance the grassland peoples to maintain the best of the best, so even if the Great Han has intermittently existed in this land for more than a hundred years, the ** nature of the Western Regions country is still very strong.
And this is not only a trouble for Li Shushi's trip to Wusun, but also a major obstacle to Ban Fu's future unification and the Western Regions.
Thinking of this, Li Shushi couldn't help but cast his eyes on Ban Fu, and sure enough, the old man's brows were slightly furrowed at this time, but what made Li Shushi relieved was that although he showed a thoughtful look, the expression on Ban Fu's face at this time was more excited, perhaps the more difficult it was for him, the more his personal ability could be reflected, just like his ancestor Dingyuan Houban.
Only in that way can we truly leave a strong mark in history.
As for now, the first meeting between the two sides naturally ended in an unhappy end.
However, compared to the uncomfortable Wusun people, the king in front of the chariot division was unusually enthusiastic, not only inviting a group of people to his palace as guests, but also preparing a banquet for everyone, music and dancing...... and Mei Ji.
Of course, because of Su Xiaololi's staring gaze beside him, Li Shushi could only politely refuse the king's kindness, and there were two others who also refused - Sima Yi was powerless even if he had the heart, and Zhao Yun ...... Well, the title of a good man of the times should probably be taken down from Lu Bu's head and put on Zhao Yun, after all, Zhao Yun, who was obviously welcomed by Mei Ji, was able to make up his mind to refuse them one by one, and this determination and the sense of security it brought were really admirable.
And because he couldn't grasp the attitude of the Wusun people, Li Shushi also decided to stay in Jiaohe City for a few days at the invitation of the former king of the Cheshi.
This is not to say that Li Shushi decided to give up this trip to the Western Regions, but if it is proved that Lemi's attitude is a relatively common perception in the whole of Wusun, then Li Shushi is only afraid to make some changes to Wusun's attitude and methods.
It may not be necessary, but it's not a bad thing to be prepared.
Of course, it would be better if the envoy of Wusun chose to return to Wusun or leave Li Shushi and his party to Chang'an because he had hit a nail in Li Shushi's place, because the golden seal given by the Han to King Wusun was very useful in Li Shushi's eyes.
As for Wang Nongslip, the front of the Cheshi who is extremely attentive to Li Shushi and his entourage, Li Shushi doesn't think that the other party will really have such a high opinion of his own side when he meets for the first time, it is very likely that in the face of the rear of the Cheshi who has already seized the lead and won the support of the Xianbei people and has a huge territory in terms of strength and territory, the front of the Cheshi wants not to be destroyed, so it is obviously a good note to win over the Han - anyway, compared to the rear of the Cheshi, the front seems to be relatively deferential to the Dahan in the past.
And this is just the relationship between several countries needs to spend a lot of thought, Li Shushi can't help but once again rise a strong admiration for Ban, this one of the pioneers of the Western Regions is not only brave and strategic, but more importantly, his actions are almost just right, often a simple action can have a very good effect.
The most important thing is that at that time, Ban didn't know much or detailed about the situation in the Western Regions, and many decisions were made on the fly, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty of accurate decisions, but he still survived.
Once or twice can be described as lucky, then the experience of more than ten years is obviously not just the word luck can explain.
It's just that Li Shushi just decided to rest in front of the driver for two days, but he didn't expect things to take a turn for the better the next day.
"Please be sure to send troops to support our Wusun Kingdom, the fate of our country is completely dependent on the adults, if the adults can save my Wusun from fire and water, they will be the reborn parents of my Wusun Kingdom, and our children and grandchildren will not forget the kindness of Lord Jì......"
Looking at the attitude in front of him, which was completely different from before, Li Shushi didn't know what kind of expression he should show at all.
Wen He ...... You say that's what it's all about. Because he was too surprised, Li Shushi asked Jia Xu in front of the envoy of Wusun. I really can't imagine what kind of magic can make the other party, who was still too arrogant yesterday, make an 18o° turn overnight, at least it should be a master-level demagoguery.
"Lord Mingjian, our arrival at the front of the division this time has been greatly unexpected trip, if we go to Wusun again, it will really be too far away, and it is not easy to explain after we go back. Besides, our little number of men and horses doesn't seem to play a role in the hundreds of thousands of Xianbei army, I think Lord Lemi's affection is sincere, it is better for me to leave for Chang'an immediately, and ask His Majesty to mobilize the soldiers of Hexi County and the subject country Hu Qi, so that we can fight with the Xianbei people. ”
It seemed that seeing that Li Shushi's state was a little unstable, Jia Xu answered Li Shushi's question loudly, and there was a strong smell of rejection in his words, which seemed to remind Li Shucheng what he should do.
So although he was helpless, the current situation seemed to be that the host and guest were displaced, and he could only leave helplessly.
"Wen He, this sluggish behavior is too strange, isn't it possible that he has received some very unfavorable news?"
The lord guessed correctly, he did receive pretty bad news. As Xu guessed, the reason why the other party has the confidence to have such an attitude towards us is that their biggest reliance is the Kangju people, and as for the reinforcements of the Han Dynasty, they didn't have much expectations in the first place - it's naturally good, and if they don't have it, it won't have much impact. ”
"So ......" "So I used the slippery squire to leave the main army of Xianbei to the north, and now there are only 3,000 troops left here, and the news was revealed to Le Mi. There is no need to guess what kind of plans the Xianbei people who are heading north, and it is not easy for Kangju to guarantee that the country will not be destroyed in the face of Xianbei's army, let alone support Wusun. And ......"
"And?"
"And I'm also mixed in the rumors with the news of the alliance between the Xianbei people and the Kushan people, which is enough to make that Le Mi panic."
"So, they can only see us as their last hope now."
"But if it really doesn't work, they can surrender to the Xianbei people."
"The problem is that unlike the Great Han, the Xianbei people are afraid that they will not just want a vassal state, since Helian ascended the throne, Xianbei has been adopting the ambition of sponsoring other surrounding ethnic groups to achieve a multi-ethnic alliance, but although this practice has been welcomed by those tribes who have been funded, it has been fiercely opposed by Xianbei internally, and this matter should also be mentioned by the Japanese law. Since Kuitou and Qianman want to stabilize their position, they must let those Xianbei nobles see enough benefits, and the land of the Wusun people is obviously a good choice, and the surrounding mountains are at least much richer than Mobei. ”
"So that Le Mi is finally feeling the pressure?"
"I think the lord should think well."
"Although the situation seems to be in our favor, there is still a backup plan to be made, and it is only the situation that forces Le Mi to bow to us, and no one can say what will become of the situation when it eases up in the future. And from the attitude before and after, we can imagine what those people in Wusun will think, and we have to guard against it. ”
"The Lord's decision is very agreeable."
ps: Today is the day when Kang Youwei, Liang Qi and others "read on the bus". The failure of the Hundred Days Restoration proves that both top-down and bottom-up changes require violence as a guarantee, otherwise they will only be ruined by the counterattack of conservative forces.
PS2: Today is the day of the death of the great master Leonardo da Vinci. After carefully searching our memories, the first time I was interested in this name was because of a group of turtles......
PS3: Today is the day of the death of Joseph McCarthy and Edgar Hoover. Although there is a considerable difference in the level of these two men, it is undeniable that at one point in time, both men controlled the lives of Americans, and their horror was no less than that of our radical era.
