Chapter 19: The Two Armies Fight
Wusun Kunmo Jun Su Mi was terminally ill and died not long ago, and Xu Qige, who was born in the Xiongnu royal family, refused to listen to the persuasion, and secretly reported to the Xiongnu royal family, asking the royal brothers to help Nimi succeed to the throne smoothly. In Xu Qige's eyes, the biggest enemy is Liu Ye, she has paid her youth for Wusun, and she must not let others enjoy her success when success is coming.
Liu Ye is a princess sent by the Han Dynasty, she has the blood of the Han people in her bones, and she and Jun Sumi have no husband and wife relationship, and they will definitely not cherish every grass and tree in Wusun. If Wusun is handed over to her, she can only become a subordinate of the Han Dynasty in the end. There is also Jun Sumi's bad idea, and Su Qige can't approve of it, saying that he wants to find Zuoxian Wang Weng, and he will temporarily keep the throne, and return it when Nimi grows up.
Xu Qige firmly believes that Jun Su Mi is sick and confused, who can give up the throne that he has won so hard to someone else, even if Ni Mi is Weng Guimi's nephew, he will not be so generous. Anyway, Jun Sumi will be gone for a long time by then, even if Weng Guimi repents, who can do anything to him. Especially the ambitious Liu Ye, they have been hooking up with the dog man and woman for a long time, if the throne is in the hands of Weng Guimi, he will definitely use it to curry favor with that foxy woman. Over time, the Han Dynasty did not spend a single soldier, and Wusun became the bag of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
If Liu Ye's plan succeeds, all those who oppose her will not end well. Xu Qige didn't dare to imagine the fate of their mother and son, they didn't like each other, and whoever had the upper hand, the other would die miserably. Su Qige is full of these things, no matter how Jun Su Mi persuades her, she can't listen to it, as a mother, even if she doesn't think about herself, she must plan for her son Nimi.
Nimi is the rightful heir to Wusun Kunmo, and his throne is threatened, just because the military beard is short-lived. If Jun Sumi can wait until Nimi grows up, no one will dare to covet Nimi's throne, and no one will want to shake her Suqige's status.
The more Xu Qige thought about it, the more she felt justified, she would rather believe in the Hun brother who had not been in contact for many years, rather than trust Weng Guimi and Liu Ye, after all, blood is thicker than water, and she is confident that she will keep the throne with her own strength. What about collusion with the Huns? It's only to blame Jun Sumi for not being able to protect her son, and those elders who can only eat and wait for death are not qualified to criticize her!
Receiving that the thousand-strong army of the Huns was about to enter the customs, Xu Qige couldn't help herself with excitement, she couldn't let others see her strangeness, she had to wait until Nimi succeeded to the throne, and appreciate their envious and jealous eyes.
"Mother, what are you thinking?" Nimi, who had just recovered from his injuries, turned around and hugged Xu Qige, whose eyes were full of golden light.
Xu Qige hugged his son and gently stroked the broken hair on his forehead: "Mi'er, you will soon become Wusun's Kunmo, you have to be ready!" ”
"Kunmo?" Nimi blinked her black jade-like eyes, with a puzzled expression, "Didn't my father say that he wanted Uncle Wang to be Kunmo, and when I grew up, let me do it!" ”
Xu Qige smiled awkwardly, she still told him these words, but he didn't expect him to write them down word for word. Her Mi'er is so smart at a young age, how can she not make people feel distressed.
"Mi'er, that's just your father's wishful thinking, the throne is originally yours, how can you give it to someone else? Even if that person is your uncle, no! ”
"Why not? I'm still young, even if I inherit the throne, those elders and ministers are not convinced, if there is no one to assist, how can I sit firmly on the throne, it is better for Uncle Wang to take over temporarily. Nimi sat up and said impatiently.
Xu Qige laughed dryly twice, and reached out to take his son's hand: "Let's just say that you are a child, your thoughts are too simple, how can you guarantee that your uncle Wang will return the throne to you in the future?" If he refuses, what can you do? ”
"No, he won't do that, I'm sure he'll give me back the throne in the future." Nimi shook his head stubbornly and pulled out his hand, "Mother, your thoughts are simple, without Uncle Wang's assistance, you and I can't control the overall situation." If the dragons are leaderless, they will fall into a vicious circle of struggle for power, and eventually the Wusun royal family will become a mess of sand. ”
Xu Qige didn't expect Nimi to say this, and was stunned for a while before he said, "What vicious circle? What is a mess of sand? What do you know as a child, don't talk nonsense. Knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, you see Uncle Wang very well now, and when he tastes the sweetness of being Kunmo, he will know that he will regret it. And expect him to return the throne to you? Hey, it's good not to hold a knife around your neck! ”
Ni Mi was silent, and Xu Qige continued: "Mi'er, whether your mother is good to you or not, you know in your heart that no matter when, your mother is on your side. When you grow up, you will know that no one can trust you except your mother. Although you are still young, as long as we work together, we will definitely control the situation. Take 10,000 steps back, even if the elder minister is not convinced, for the sake of the backer behind his mother, he will not dare to make a mistake! Don't forget, the royal brothers of the mother are all well-known figures, each one is more ruthless than the other, do those old guys dare to offend them? Haha, I don't have the guts to eat the ambitious leopard! So, you just listen to your mother and wait to be your Kunmo! ”
"Mother, what do you mean by that?" Nimi tilted his head, pursed his red lips, and a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes, "Are you planning to ask the Huns for help and let them build momentum for my succession?" ”
Xu Qige didn't want to tell him the truth so early, but since Nimi guessed it, she didn't hide it, sat up and held her son's pink little face, and sipped vigorously: "Well, my son is worthy of being the heir of Kunmo, why is his mind so good!" Your most powerful helpers are almost in the grassland, and when they arrive, you will be king! Hehe, baby son, whatever my mother thinks in my heart, I can't hide it from your eyes......"
"Stupid!" Nimi slapped her hand away and roared angrily, "Foolish woman, you are tantamount to luring a wolf into the house!" ”
Xu Qige was stunned, she didn't believe that her son dared to yell at her, and it took a long time to come back to her senses: "Mi'er, what are you talking about, what's wrong with you, everything my mother did was for you!" You kid, you are so decent, you are suddenly crazy, my mother is about to be scared to death by you......"
Nimi put on her coat, jumped out of bed, bent over and put on her boots, too lazy to talk nonsense with her anymore, and muttered: "Women are useless, I'll go to my father......"
Xu Qige hugged his waist from behind and said hurriedly: "What are you looking for your father?" Is there anything you can't say to your mother? ”
"It's too late, it's too late, while it's still too late, let my father get ready as soon as possible......" Nimi put on his boots and pushed Xu Qige away, "Please use your brain before you do things, the Huns have long wanted to swallow the fat of Wusun, and they are worried that they can't find a chance, but you took the initiative to send it to the door." If they are killed, not to mention that the grassland is trampled, we will not want to live. I believe Uncle Wang, at least we can live a stable life, being bewitched by the enemy, and we don't know how to die. ”
"No, no......" Xu Qige hurriedly shook his head, tugging on the muddy belt to prevent him from leaving, "Son, listen to me, listen to me, they are mother's relatives, how can they harm our mother and son?" Just give them some benefits, you were misled by your father, the Huns are not as vicious as you think, my mother and I are also Huns, my mother is wholeheartedly for your good, why don't you understand? ”
"You don't understand or I don't understand, do you have to see the Huns stepping on the grassland to understand?" Nimi's patience reached the limit, and he broke free of her hand with all his might, and yelled at her fiercely, "I'm really fed up with you, I've been self-righteous all day, it's time for me, wake up quickly!" is still thinking about dealing with Mrs. Right, with your brain, how can you be her opponent! ”
Xu Qige looked at his back, his empty eyes were full of tears, his hands were pulling the futon, and his heart felt as if someone had hollowed out a piece. After a long time, she lay on the bed and cried bitterly: "Oh my God, what evil have I done......"
The largest yurt on the steppe is the residence of Jun Sumi, who has been in poor health for the last few days and no longer accepts visits from anyone. It's just that today is a little different, before dawn, the military beard is full of people around the bed.
The military beard raised his eyelids with great difficulty, glanced at Liu Ye, who was wearing light makeup and plain clothes, waved his hand, and motioned for the guards who followed to retreat. The guards of Jun Xu Mi were all brainwashed by Su Qige, and they were full of vigilance against Liu Ye, seeing that she came early in the morning to ask to see Kun Mo, they all thought that she had bad intentions, and followed up with the yurt to surround her.
After the guards left, Jun Su closed his eyes again and asked lightly, "Is there any news of King Zuoxian?" ”
"Nope." Liu Ye told the truth and sat down on the stool next to his bed.
"Then you ......" Jun Xu Mi was a little surprised, Liu Ye wouldn't be okay to find trouble.
"I'm here, there is another important matter, I don't know if the king has heard that there is a change on the border of Wusun, Xie Wei received accurate information, more than 1,000 Hun cavalry is about to enter the pass, straight to the grassland."
"What?" The beard slapped the bed board violently, and the movement was too hasty, and he coughed violently. Liu Ye hurriedly stepped forward to help him sit up, met his eager inquiring gaze, and nodded heavily.
"King, the situation is urgent, please issue an order to repel the Hun cavalry."
Jun Xu Mi stared at Liu Ye for a long time, and slowly looked away: "Let me think about it......"
"Now that the king has nothing to think about? If it drags on, it will really be too late, and when the Hun cavalry reaches the grassland, they will suffer heavy losses, and maybe they will also suffer a heavy defeat to the Wusun royal family. Speaking of this, Liu Ye suddenly remembered something, paused, and said, "Regardless of whether Nimi succeeds to the throne or not, Xie Wei will not joke with the lives of the people of Wusun. The king doesn't need to worry about going against Mrs. Zuo, as long as it is the king's will, he will obey it. ”
Jun Xu looked at Liu Ye suspiciously, what a smart woman, but unfortunately she was Han, and he would never believe her.
"Since what you said is the truth, this king will receive news from the border, and the matter of transferring troops is not decided casually, and this king has to discuss it with the elders."
Liu Ye was silent for a moment and said, "King, Xie Wei is just a woman, and she has no ability to fight on the battlefield. Even if the king trusts me and allows me to dispatch Wusun's generals, I will not be able to compete for the throne, let alone pose a threat to Mrs. Zuo's mother and son. The reason for the relief of worries is to inform the king, as for whether the king believes it or not, it depends on the creation of Wusun. ”
It was useless to say more, Liu Ye got up and said goodbye: "Please forgive me for disturbing the king's rest......"
"Wait a minute...... Jun Su Mi hesitated, and said the question in his heart, "This king is seriously ill, and there may not be a few people in the royal family who know about it, how can the Xiongnu send thousands of cavalry to capture the grassland?" ”
"They are menacing and bound to win, and they must have received reliable information. The king is trying to block the news, but someone still reveals it, people in the royal family, who has an affair with the Huns, how could the king not think of it? ”
Jun Xu was stunned, and said with a wry smile: "What the princess means is that the person who leaked the secret is none other than Mrs. Zuo, whom the king trusts. ”
Liu Ye replied in silence, and Jun Sumi continued: "However, she knows that this king has a deep affection for their mother and son, why did she collude with the Huns? Isn't she afraid of even the trouble? ”
"The king has a deep affection for Mrs. Zuo, but what if the king is gone!" Seeing his stiff expression, Liu Ye slowed down his tone, "I think that Mrs. Zuo would rather rely on the Huns than let King Zuo Xian temporarily keep the throne." Therefore, she was not satisfied with the king's arrangement, so she acted on her own. Perhaps, the existence of Xie Jie is also a threat to her, and she will break the boat. ”
Jun Su shook his head painfully: "Why? Why didn't she believe in this king, how could she, a stupid woman, dare to risk the encroachment of Wusun and maintain her so-called dignity, how could this king misunderstand her and believe her......"
Liu Ye comforted softly: "King, now is not the time to investigate who is right and wrong, Xie worries suggests that the king transfer troops to garrison the border as soon as possible, and never let the Hun cavalry enter the grassland." ”
"But, who else can I count on now, King Zuo Xian is not here, even King Lao Xian is nowhere to be seen, who can I find to lead the troops in a hurry?"
"If the king believes in relieving worries, there is a suitable person for relieving worries. General Chang Hui has been on the battlefield for many years, killed countless enemies, and has experience in resisting the Huns, and he led the troops to repel the Hun cavalry. ”
"Chang Hui ......" Jun Xu Mi was in a dilemma, he couldn't trust the Han people the most in his life, but he didn't expect that in the end, he wanted the Han people to keep his country.
"Father, please give the order!" Ni Mi panted and broke in, staring at Liu Ye with bright eyes, "What Mrs. Right said is the truth, please give your father's order!" ”
