The war between Wusun and the Xiongnu resumed, and the situation of the Han Dynasty was no longer clear, and the entire Western Regions was affected, except for the Qiuzi Kingdom, which had always remained neutral, and the obscure small countries, which could barely maintain the status quo in this fluctuation.

Prince Jiangbin was polite to Princess Shi, although he still didn't dare to take her back to the palace, he also respected her wishes. He promised his younger brother that before his brother agreed to marry him, he would not make an argument and ask for marriage again, forcing her to do something that he was unwilling to do.

Brother Shi is not hard-hearted, and Jiang Bin's forced hijacking of her is indeed disgusting, and his later efforts to please him will not help. But as the two of them became more and more familiar, she found that Jiangbin was not useless, and even had many advantages.

For example, Jiang Bin's knowledge is not high, but he knows how to be humble, and treats his subordinates like most royal families, who will first find out the ins and outs of right and wrong, and then punish him, so as not to be wronged. Jiangbin is not as polite as the Han people, but he has an upright personality, and he is by no means a fiery temper of the people of the Western Regions, but he is straightforward and never beats around the bush.

Jiang Bin knew that his younger brother liked erudite and talented men, and he worked hard to learn various skills in order to impress his younger brother, but he didn't expect that he was extremely talented, and he could already master several musical instruments in just a few months, and he would also make more rhythmic poems.

These younger brothers are all in their eyes, and the resentment against him in her heart has gradually dissipated, she is not very old and her experience is not rich, but she can see that this man really cares about her. I remember that the queen mother and the little aunt said that for the women of the royal family, it is the luckiest thing to find a husband who treats each other sincerely. Brother Shi began to waver, the man in front of him should be sincere to her, and he also respects her, if he marries him, the future may not be easy. Besides, he is the future king of Qiuzi, and he has the ability to help himself.

In the evening, Jiangbin brought a few dancers to relieve his brother's boredom and accompany his brother Shi to talk about some interesting things that happened around him. Di Shi listened carefully with a smile on his face, and Jiang Bin's heart suddenly bloomed, as if he had seen their bright future.

"Prince Jiangbin, I want to play a song for you, why don't you ask them to leave first!" Brother Shi said euphemistically.

Jiang Bin was overjoyed, it turned out that Di Shi wanted to be alone with him, so he quickly dispersed the dancers, and watched Di Shi stroke the piano for him happily. It's just that the sound of the piano is extremely poignant and unbearable, and Jiang Bin's brows are furrowed deeper and deeper, and he finally couldn't help but interrupt her.

"Princess Dishi, do you have something on your mind, why is the song played so sad. Or, I snubbed you and made you feel wronged, if it's my fault, you must tell me. ”

Hearing this, Brother Shi said leisurely: "Prince Jiangbin, you treat each other politely, put me first everywhere, what else do I have to be wronged by, this is a homesick song, which was taught to me by my mother, and it is also a song often played by my heavenly queen mother." In the past, I couldn't understand the meaning of the song, and I always felt that it was too sad, so I played it when I had nothing to do, but in recent days, I seem to have suddenly understood the meaning, and whenever I play this song, I can see the familiar grassland in front of me, as well as my father and mother, and my brother Wannian. ”

Jiang Bin lowered his eyes, he hesitated whether to tell her the news of Weng Guimi's death, his mother would not allow him to do so, because if his brother Shi knew about it, he would definitely go back to Wusun noisily. And Wusun was in war at this time, and his style was ruthless after he took the position, Liu Ye was helpless, and his younger brother Shi was afraid that he would be more auspicious when he went back at this time.

"Princess Dishi, I know that I was wrong, I held you hostage against your wishes, and my approach was too selfish and shameless. I've regretted it, and I've thought about sending you back, but, I, I'm so sorry for you, and now, I can't send you away......" said Jiangbin in embarrassment.

"No, Prince Jiangbin, I don't plan to go back." Brother Shi raised his eyes to look at him, and his clear eyes did not contain a trace of complaint, "I am a daughter's family, and sooner or later I will have to leave my parents and leave that grassland, but I still have something to worry about, if I can get rid of this matter, I can find a lifelong dependence with peace of mind." ”

Jiang Bin pondered the meaning of her words, and his heart suddenly brightened, and he hurriedly said: "If Princess Di Shi has something on her mind, if I can do it, I will definitely do it." ”

Brother Shi got up and walked to Jiangbin and saluted him respectfully: "Brother Shi asks Prince Jiangbin to help my brother Wannian to get rid of the Shache rebel thief and return to Wusun to assist the queen mother." ”

"This ......" Jiang Bin was shocked, "How do you know about the matter of the Ten Thousand Years General?" Princess Shishi, what else do you know? ”

"The prince of Shache was dissatisfied with the new king's accession to the throne, and rebelled everywhere, and the Xiongnu took the opportunity to endanger Wusun, so that my father died suddenly after a recurrence of his old illness......," Brother Shi's eyes were full of tears, and he choked up, "The queen mother was coerced by mud, and she was bullied when she became his queen, and the national disaster was at the head, and her family was humiliated, so how could I be indifferent?" Wusun has such a big thing, almost everyone knows it, only I am kept in the dark, I hate myself for being a woman, a woman who is powerless, I can't defend my family and country, kill the enemy, I can only hide and cry alone......"

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you......" Jiang Bin guessed that it must have been heard by Brother Shi when the guards were chatting, but it doesn't matter who spread it, this kind of thing can't be hidden for long, and Brother Shi will know sooner or later.

"Princess Dishi, Wusun suffered this catastrophe, and I am also very sad in my heart, your father and mother are good people, and your royal brother is also an outstanding general. They don't deserve to be treated like this, but I can't let you go back to Wusun, you're not a muddy opponent, and I'm not a ......," Jiang Bin said dejectedly, "I begged my father and mother to support Wusun, but some things are not as simple as I imagined, the war in Yache seems to be that the princes are dissatisfied with the new king's accession to the throne, but in fact, there are Huns who provoke it. And it didn't take long for the Xiongnu to launch an invasion of Wusun, and Nimi immediately took advantage of the chaos to succeed to the throne, and it is not difficult to figure out these things in series......"

Brother Shi's eyes rippled with tears, and he sobbed: "Are you saying that the Huns are behind the ghosts?" Incite the princes of Shache to deal with my brother and then break Wusun? ”

Jiang Bin nodded: "The death of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty prompted these actions of the Xiongnu, and without the support of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu would have the courage to deal with Wusun." Our Qiuzi has never been good at fighting, no matter how much my father and mother ask me, they don't want to take risks, they don't dare to offend the Huns, in fact, I don't dare. ”

"I'm useless, I've tried hard to change myself, but I'm still useless, I deserve to be hated by you, I shouldn't expect to get your heart......" Jiangbin said in pain with his head in his hands.

Brother Shi's tears flowed loudly, and when she heard the news of Weng Guimi's death, she cried for a few nights, thinking that her tears were dry, but she didn't expect to hear about Wusun's situation with her own ears and her heart was still like a knife.

"Prince Jiangbin, don't say that, I don't hate you for a long time, what does this catastrophe in Wusun have to do with you! Qiuzi didn't dare to confront the Huns, this is also human nature, you are just a prince now, you can't disobey the will of your father and mother, I can understand. Brother Shi clung to the life-saving straw of Jiangbin, and begged bitterly, "I don't need you to come out to fight against the Huns for Wusun, but there is one thing, you can do it, you will definitely be able to do it......"

"I, what else can I do?" Jiang Bin was very disappointed in himself, "The Huns are too hateful, but I dare not oppose them......"

"Don't, don't want you to deal with the Huns. Prince Jiangbin, can you rescue my brother Wang, Brother Wannian is in Shache Country, trapped by those chaotic ministers and thieves and can't get out, if he is there, my queen mother will have a chance to turn over. Brother Wannian is brave and good at fighting, he also knows Nimi very well, whether it is the Huns or Nimi, let my brother Wang deal with them......" Brother Shi was anxious, knelt down for Jiangbin, "Please, rescue my brother Wannian, he knows how to deal with the Huns, he will definitely be able to help my queen mother regain her freedom......"

Jiang Bin hurriedly helped his brother Shi up: "You get up, you get up quickly, you have something to say......

"Prince Jiangbin, I beg you, you rescue my brother Wannian, you can do whatever you want me to do......" Brother Shi was afraid that he would refuse, so he took the initiative to hug him, "I will give everything to you, my life, my future, all for you, I am willing to follow you without a name, and I am willing to be your concubine, please, please save my brother Wang......"

Jiang Bin gritted his teeth, he didn't know if he had the ability to save Wan Nian, but he knew that he couldn't disappoint his beloved woman no matter what. He didn't dare to go against the Huns, and his younger brother Shi was not difficult for a strong man, if he even refused this request from his younger brother, would he still be a man?

Di Shi thought that he was going to refuse, and threw himself into his arms with the last glimmer of hope: "Prince Jiangbin, I will serve you well, from now on, you will be my heaven, and you will be my master......"

"Princess Brother Shi......" Jiang Bin held her shoulders and distanced them, "You don't need to be like this, I promise you, I will save your brother Wang." ”

"Really?" Brother Shi was overjoyed and cried excitedly, "Prince Jiangbin, are you really willing to save him for me?" ”

"Yes, I do." Jiang Bin nodded heavily, "I promise you that I will definitely rescue the Ten Thousand Year General, and if I fail, I won't come back." ”

"I ......" Hearing Jiangbin's assurance, Di Shi was moved and speechless, but kept shaking her head, she couldn't let Jiangbin die for herself, even if she hated to exchange her life for ten thousand years. But there was no need for Jiangbin to do this, they weren't even friends, how could they let him spare his life.

Jiang Bin knew that she was worried about herself, and smiled: "Don't worry, I will save him, and I will cherish my life extraordinarily, this time, I will never let you down." ”

"Well, well......" Brother Shi nodded frequently, blushing and shaking Jiang Bin's hand, "Take care, you must come back." ”

It is by no means an easy task to go to Shache Country to rescue Wannian, and in order to avoid causing disputes between the two countries, Jiangbin cannot save people in the name of Qiuzi. Concealing the King and Queen of Qiuzi, he led an elite army to infiltrate the border of Yache. According to the information inquired by the spies, find the location of 10,000 years as quickly as possible.

Although the princes of the Shache Kingdom did not have the ability to put Wannian to death, they had the ability to make him uneasy, and they made trouble everywhere for three days, and waited until Wannian rushed to suppress it, and then hurriedly retreated. Then they hid for a few days and repeated their old tricks, and if the slightest flaw was revealed in 10,000 years, they would bite tightly.

After many days of hard fighting, the soldiers under Wan Nian were exhausted, and they were not following Wan Nian with all their hearts, so it was easier to be distracted. Wan Nian is a Han man after all, and he is a general from the Wusun court, what does his life and death have to do with their Shache people? Are they fighting for him? For the sake of a Han Chinese, the Shache people killed each other, and the soldiers were tired of this kind of royal struggle.

As a result, Wannian was defeated and forced into a desperate situation, and he also knew that the army was not strong, but he could not find a good solution to it. It's just that the old king of Shache is full of confidence in him, if he admits defeat, won't he live up to the old king's expectations, besides, he has no way back, after defeat, he will return to Wusun, what kind of face does he have? If he can't get through this, he'd rather die than turn back.

Another dark and vicious battle, Wan Nian's soldiers were twice as many as the other party, but they were only barely supported, and the two sides faced off for a long time and failed to distinguish the winner. Wan Nian understood that they did not want to fight with their own people, but because of the king's orders, they had to fight hard. Such soldiers will never win the battle, they just wait for the right moment, wait for the other side to capture their king, and then declare the end of the war.

"Report, Your Majesty, our army could not withstand the enemy's steamer attack, and was forced to retreat two miles......

"Report, there is a shortage of food and grass in the army, and the wounded have died one after another......"

"Report, the people of the surrounding villages set fire to our army's horse ......"

Wan Nian's face was like ashes, and he waved all the pieces on the bookcase to the ground, and shouted at the guards: "Stand down, you all step down for me......

At present, not only the morale of the army is sluggish, but even the unreasonable people resented him and resented the war brought by him, an outsider.

"Your Majesty......" A trembling voice sounded behind him.

"Get out...... Wan Nian turned around and roared angrily, "This king tells you to stand down, all of you stand down......"

"The Great General of Ten Thousand Years has such a big temper!"

Wan Nian looked at the guards who were held hostage by several strangers, and was wondering, but saw a man with a beautiful face lift the curtain and walk in.

"Who are you?" Wannian frowned.

The man smiled slightly: "Jiangbin of the Turtle Country, come to see the General of Ten Thousand Years." ”

"Jiangbin? Prince Jangbin? Wan Nian raised his eyebrows, and casually pulled out his long sword and pointed it at Jiang Bin's throat, "Damn, you took your brother Shi hostage to Qiuzi, and you still have the face to see me." ”

The strangers in nightwear immediately threw away the guards and drew their swords and pointed at Wan Nian, forming a confrontation situation. Jiang Bin waved his hand, signaled his entourage to put down his weapons, stepped forward, hugged his fists and said: "Jiang Bin has no intention of offending, please don't be angry, this time I came here, I have something important to tell you." ”

Wan Nian didn't believe him at all: "I think you are taking advantage of the fire to rob and want to get rid of me as a scourge, otherwise, when I calm down the civil strife, I will definitely not let you go." ”

"Jiang Bin was entrusted by Princess Shi to come to the rescue of the general." Jiang Bin was not annoyed when he was misunderstood, he took away the smile on his face, and said, "Wusun has undergone a great change, is it unheard of by the general?" ”

Wan Nian was stunned: "What did you say?" Wusun upheaval? What's going on? ”

Jiangbin sighed lightly: "You really don't know that the Shache Kingdom has just started civil strife, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty died, the Huns took advantage of the situation to besiege Wusun, King Weng Guimi accidentally fell off the horse and died of serious injuries, and the queen remarried Nimi." ”

Wan Nian stared at Jiangbin in a daze, and only after a long time did he roar angrily: "Nonsense, nonsense!" It's impossible, my father is a strong player right away, how could he accidentally fall off the horse! The queen mother, the queen mother, she has the support of her subjects, how can she be committed! You talk nonsense, you lied to me......"

Jiangbin had long expected that Wan Nian would not easily believe him, and hurriedly took out his brother's handwritten letter: "This letter was written by Princess Dishi, I believe you can distinguish her handwriting." ”

Wan Nian snatched the letter and read it word by word, this was indeed the handwriting of his younger brother, but every sentence she wrote did not seem to be true, and he couldn't accept this fact. His father died, and his mother remarried, even if he died, he couldn't accept it.

"Impossible, I don't believe it, this is a conspiracy, you must have also been bought by the Huns, don't you just want to watch me die? Okay, I'll let you get your wish, but before I die, I won't let you sow discord! Wan Nian waved the sword in his hand and shouted like crazy.

"General, what my brother and I said is true, don't escape from reality anymore." Jiangbin hurriedly said, "It's not easy for me to bring people to find here, I promised my brother Shi to rescue you, your mother is still waiting for your help, none of us can die here." ”

"Brother History...... The queen mother ...... "Wannian's eyes were red," how could this be, how could it be...... Father, father......"

"Now that Wusun is in power from the mud, the situation on the Han side is unclear, the queen's situation is really worrying, I can't be the master to send troops to support, I can only do my best to save you, I hope you can protect the queen for my brother Shi." Jiang Bin eagerly grabbed Wan Nian's wrist, "Come with me, I don't have many people with me, and if I am discovered, I can't leave." ”

"But, how can I go, I have to at least give an explanation to the old king!" Wannian was flustered, and he had to save his life and return to Wusun.

"I met the old king before I came to you, please forgive me for being arrogant, General Wannian, I intend to create the illusion of your death and temporarily relieve the crisis of Shache Kingdom. Returning the power of the Shache Kingdom to the old king again would leave the princes without an excuse to rebel and maintain the stability of the Shache Kingdom. If it weren't for the Xiongnu sending troops on a large scale this time, and the princes would have fallen into the ground, you would not have been cornered. When Wusun gets the support of the Han Dynasty to repel the Xiongnu and restore his former position, then no one will dare to go against you. ”

Wan Nian thought for a while and said, "That's okay, I failed to win the hearts of the army, and I deserve to die." From then on, I was the shadow of my father, protecting my mother and Wusun. ”
