Chapter 73: A Gambling Contract with the King of the Yue Clan
"When I set off from Chang'an, I brought more than 100 subordinates! As soon as I arrived at the foot of Qilian Mountain, I encountered the resistance of more than 1,000 elite Huns royal court! Our Han mission broke through the encirclement with one hundred to one thousand and killed more than 300 Huns! After crossing the Yellow River and climbing over the snowy mountains! Defeat the Qiang people, the king of Hutu and the people of the king of Kun in succession! Kill thousands of Huns along the road and burn more than a dozen Hun tribes! Only then can you enter the Western Regions! Li You replied in a sonorous tone, the fierce battles in the past few months kept flashing in his mind, and he really tried his best to endure such an ordeal, and the remaining fifty or so soldiers in the mission had such momentum.
"After entering the Western Regions, I killed countless thieves before I arrived in the territory of the Great Moon Clan!" Li You waved his hand, and immediately sent them full of captures in the past two days, "General, look, this is the banner of the Wusun Country Rangers!" ”
"This is the most elite ranger under the command of General Wusun!" Hu Weishka excitedly grabbed the banner and looked at it carefully for a long time before saying, "These people have killed and injured countless soldiers of my Dayue clan before!" Huvishka thanked the Han envoy on behalf of the dead soldiers of the Dayue clan today! ”
Wusun's left and right generals are equivalent to the left and right Gu Liwang below the Xiongnu left and right Xian Wang, and the left and right generals are all held by members of the royal family, holding a certain number of troops, and are the real power figures in Wusun second only to Da Kunmi. Among them, the status of the left general is slightly higher than that of the right general.
"Yesterday at noon, when we were on the march, we encountered three hundred Wusun rangers trying to rob, and our Han mission could launch a counterattack, and after a fight, hundreds were killed, and the rest scattered and fled!" Li You pretended to be an understatement, and then sighed, "It's a pity that three soldiers in the mission also died!" ”
Fifty breaks three hundred, killing hundreds of enemy soldiers and only three soldiers on your own side are killed! This is still facing the most elite rangers under the command of General Wusun! Huvyshka didn't know what to say for a while! If it were to be placed in their Dayue Clan, I am afraid that at least a thousand cavalry would have to be sent to achieve the same achievements as the Great Han Mission. How did these great Han soldiers train? It's so brave!
I'm afraid that the most elite guards of my Otsutsuki Clan are no match for them, right? Hu Weishika thought about it, people are powerful beings who can defeat even the elite of the Xiongnu royal court, what are the soldiers of the Dayue clan and Wusun?
"The Great Han Soldier is really powerful!" It took Huvishka half a day to hold back such a sentence, and the second prince of Loulan on the side, Humi, was already surprised! Along the way, he has seen the strong combat effectiveness of the Han Mission! His mentality also changed with the battles one after another.
From the very beginning, I tried every means to escape, but now I have become desperate to follow the Han Mission! If the soldiers of the Han Dynasty were as powerful as this mission, then it would be a matter of time before the Han defeated the Xiongnu and entered the Western Regions, and at that time, wouldn't it be easy for him to inherit the throne of Loulan with the support of the Han Dynasty?
Li You also ordered someone to bring a number of flags and scimitars, these are the results of the Han envoy's battle with the Wusun country rangers along the way from Gumo to Dayueshi, "Chang'an has a long way to go here, plus a continuous battle on the road, the gifts brought by the envoy from Chang'an are lost, and now there are only these and some silk to the king of your country as gifts!" I hope you don't dislike it! ”
"Your envoy is so polite! Seeing the flags and weapons of these Wusun people, the king will be very happy! Only then did Hu Weishka remember that Li You was going to visit the king of the Dayue clan, so he quickly got up and said, "I will lead your envoy to the palace, and the king will be very happy to see this!" ”
At this time, the king of the Otsuki clan was also supervising the battle in this city, and the Otsuki clan had almost all the troops of the whole country concentrated here, preparing for the decisive battle with the arrogant hunting of Wusun Dakun, if he was not here, he would definitely not be at ease! It's just that I don't know if he will think of the previous king who was killed by Lao Shangdan Yu at this time?
After arranging the defense of the east gate, Huviska took his personal guards to escort the Han delegation to the palace of the king of the Great Moon clan in the city.
This city is much smaller than Chang'an, and after a while, it will be outside the palace gate, Huvishka turned over and dismounted, "Please wait for your envoy for a while, I will enter the palace to report!" After speaking, he took a few guards to enter the palace with the silk, flags and weapons handed over to him by Li You, leaving Li You and the others to wait outside.
"I invite the Han envoys to the palace for an audience!" After leaning a little, a minister of the Yue Clan came out and said loudly.
"Wait until you stay here, I'll come when I go!" Li You took Chen Qingzhi and his cousin's father to follow him into the palace of the Yue Clan, and when he arrived at the hall, he saw a middle-aged man sitting on the throne, looking over with the banner of the Wusun people with great interest, Li You held the Han Festival and saluted, "The Han envoy Zhang Qian pays a visit to the King of the Yue Clan!" May His Majesty the King be in good health and the Tsukishi Kingdom prosper. ”
"Thank you, envoy of the Great Han! I also wish His Majesty the King of Dahan good health! King Yue hurriedly put down the banner in his hand, and Zhengse said, "The messenger is still invited to take a seat!" ”
Li You did not correct the difference between the king and the emperor, and took Chen Qingzhi and his cousin's father to the seat that had already been prepared to sit down, and immediately a waiter brought the food and wine of the Yue Clan.
"I heard from General Huvishka that on the way to your second visit, you have defeated the army of the Usun people many times with fewer victories! I wonder if I can tell this king a thing or two? "The king of the Yue clan is most concerned about the war in Wusun now, in the case of the successive defeats of his own army, a Han mission that has won many battles against Wusun suddenly appeared, and he pinned his hopes on Li You like a drowning man grasping a straw.
General Li You recounted the experience of fighting with the Wusun people in detail, and the king of the Yue clan and the ministers couldn't stop nodding, and they deeply admired the combat effectiveness of the Han Mission.
"There are two reasons why my Han mission was able to defeat the army of the Wusun people, one is that my Han soldiers are brave and good at fighting, and the other is that the generals of my Han are better at commanding battles than the Wusun people, so they can win more with less!" After Li You finished speaking, he saw that the king of the Yue clan was deep in thought, so he continued to lure, "Although the Wusun people are superior to your country in personal strength, they are not invincible, as long as your country's army adopts a suitable strategy, they will definitely be able to win this battle!" ”
"Oh? Would you like to please tell me more about it? King Yue hurriedly said.
"Your Majesty! Let's make a bet! Li You and Chen Qingzhi exchanged glances, and now it's finally time to throw out the plan, whether it can be achieved depends on this experience!
