Chapter 65: King Wusun hunts for arrogance
The merchant of the Great Moon Clan changed color suddenly, the population of the Wusun Kingdom exceeded 600,000 and the army exceeded 180,000, which was far more than the 400,000 population and 100,000 troops of the Great Yue Clan, and the Wusun Kingdom now had a powerful and wise Kun Mi Lie arrogant, far from being comparable to the mediocre king of the Great Moon Clan today, not to mention that the Wusun Kingdom now has a close relationship with the Xiongnu; With the support of such a behemoth as the Xiongnu behind him, the merchants of the Otsutsuki clan could hardly see any hope of their country winning in this war.
"Oh, can you elaborate?" Li You became interested in the upcoming war between Wusun and the Otsuki clan! He vaguely felt that this seemed to be an opportunity for the big man.
"Wusun and the Dayue clan have old grudges, and it is difficult for the arrogant father of Wusun Kunmi to hunt and be in Qilian and Yanhuang with the Dayue clan, and then migrated to the Western Regions!" The merchant of Shule said slowly, thinking that the migration of these two countries is inseparable from the expansion of the Xiongnu, in other words, they are likely to be driven here by the Xiongnu from the Hexi Corridor.
"After the Dayue clan attacked Wusun and broke it, Kun Mi was killed, and the infant hunter was abandoned in the wilderness." Speaking of this, the merchant of Shule Kingdom showed a look of awe, "If a mortal is either starved to death or eaten by wolves in such a situation, but the hunting arrogance is protected by the gods, the crow finds meat for him to eat, and the she-wolf runs to nurse him!" The Xiongnu Da Dan Yu was deeply surprised when he saw it, and thought that Hunting Jiaomi was a child of God, so he raised him as an adult! When he grew up, he helped him re-establish the Wusun Kingdom, and now Hunter Jiaomi has inherited the throne of his father Kunmi, and is ready to take revenge on the Otsuki clan. (According to the information, there are two times when Wusun defeated the Otsutsuki clan and forced them to move west to the Amu Darya River, one around 161 BC and the other around 139 BC, and these two were used here to increase the conflict; Kunmi thinks that Shan Yu and Khan are the same as the name of Wusun Kingdom for their own kings, and there are also those who write Kunmo! )
Hearing this, Tangyi's father and Chen Qingzhi looked surprised, and seemed to be in awe of the arrogant deeds, Chen Qingzhi seemed to whisper, "Could it be that this person is really destined for heaven?" ”
Li You didn't care much about it, there were many miracles in the history books of later generations! When the Han Dynasty opened the country, there was also the legend of Liu Bang beheading the white snake, in his opinion, most of these mysterious legends were exaggerated in order to fool the people, or simply made up! And even if it's really destiny, what can we do, we also have this attribute! He's Bi is not taken for nothing!
"Wusun and the Xiongnu are the same customs, living in water and grass, there are many horses in the department, and all the people are good at riding and shooting, and their combat power is far above the Dayue clan; Before the villain left, the Wusun Kingdom was gathering warriors, maybe now they have started a war, right? The merchant of Shule finally finished telling what he knew.
"It's not good for the big moon clan to be in such a bad situation!" Li You nodded, no wonder they would be driven from the banks of the Ili River to the Amu Darya River Valley, thousands of miles away, for a nomadic tribe, a wise tribal leader would allow them to quickly burst into powerful combat power; And hunting arrogance is to Wusun, just like Mao Dunshan is to the Xiongnu, Genghis Khan is to Mongolia, and such a person is an opponent, the hope of victory for the Dayue clan is indeed not great.
After asking them about the situation of the countries on the way to the west, Li You gave them the silk he brought in exchange for the supply mounts needed to go to the Dayue Clan, and then sent them away to discuss with Chen Qingzhi and the others about their plans after arriving at the Dayue Clan.
"Envoy, now that the Dayue clan itself is difficult to protect, I'm afraid that they won't have the energy to fight the Huns with the Han!" Tangyi's father said worriedly that he had left the Xiongnu for more than ten years, and the current situation was out of his expectations.
"Hmm." Li You knocked on the table unwillingly, sighed and said, "If you want the Dayue Clan to attack the Xiongnu, you have to solve the Wusun Kingdom first!" But now their strength is only half of Wusun's, and their combat power is greatly inferior, so I'm afraid it's not easy to do! ”
"Judging from Qingzhi, although Wusun is now a vassal of the Xiongnu, but that hunting arrogance is definitely not a person who has lived under the people for a long time, if we can't form an alliance with the Dayue clan, we might as well go and meet this Wusun Kunmi!" Chen Qingzhi changed his mind, his era was the period of war between the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and it was not uncommon for the original deployment to rebel and self-reliance, in his opinion, Hunting Jiaomi would not stop his ambition of expansion after defeating the Dayue clan, and the Xiongnu would not tolerate him to keep getting bigger, and the two sides would have a war in the future.
What happened in later generations also confirmed Chen Qingzhi's view, and in the future, Hunt Jiaomi sent dozens of envoys to the territory of the Han Dynasty with Zhang Qian, and the envoys saw the strength of the Han State, prompting the Wusun State to consider an alliance with the Han, which caused the dissatisfaction of the Xiongnu; Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty married Princess Xijun, the daughter of Liu Jianzhi of the clan, and Hunt Jiaomi began to break away from the control of the Xiongnu and swayed left and right between the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty.
If it is not impossible to adjust the goal of the alliance to Wusun Hunting Arrogance according to what Chen Qingzhi said, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty will not care whether the country allied with the Han Dynasty is called the Dayue Clan or the Wusun Kingdom, he is more concerned with how many soldiers and horses the other party has and how much of a threat it can pose to the Xiongnu! If he succeeds, he must also be overjoyed that the Xiongnu have a strong opponent with 180,000 troops, right?
If it was Zhang Qian who led the team this time, I am afraid that he would happily accept Chen Qingzhi's suggestion and change his itinerary to go to Wusun Kingdom, but Li You would not be able to, but he clearly remembered that the task assigned to him by Hufu was to form an alliance with the Dayue Clan, so it would not care about Wusun and the Dayue Clan, which was a greater threat to the Xiongnu.
This task is really a headache! Li You couldn't help but scratch his head, and finally slowly shook his head and said, "Now we can only hear the words of the merchant, and we don't know what the situation of the Dayue clan is now!" Let's go to them and decide! ”
"Well, that's all there is to it now!" Chen Qingzhi and Tangyi's father agreed at the same time, and now that the road to the west is still far away, they are not in a hurry to make a decision first.
After the discussion, just as he was about to go out to see the appearance of Loulan City, a soldier hurried over, "Envoy Qiqi, I have found traces of the Huns outside, and I am afraid that they are going to the palace of the King of Loulan!" ”
Could it be that we are being arrested through the King of Loulan? Li You and Chen Qingzhi exchanged glances, now that they are in the city instead of the grassland, it is much more difficult to escape!
"How many of them are there? How to dress? Where did you see that? Li You asked a series of questions, but before he could answer clearly, there were guests outside the door, and the ministers of the king of Loulan invited them to the palace for a banquet.
