Chapter 497: Weitou Country
Outside Chiya City, a group of ministers of the Wusun Kingdom, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to do. hercules
"Xiangguo, what now?" Finally, Dairoku Yoshihiko looked at Wusun Xiang. At this time, someone must stand up and preside, he doesn't want it to be himself, then it can only be Wusun Xiang.
Everyone also looked at Wusun Xiang, in terms of position, the other party is Wusun Guoxiang, and in terms of relationship, the other party is the uncle of King Wusun, and no one is more suitable to come forward than him.
"The king is in the hands of the other party, you ask me how I know what to do?" Wusun said angrily.
This group of people seemed to compliment him, but they actually wanted him to stand up and take the blame. There is such a humiliating thing in Wusun Kingdom, it is not okay for no one to stand up and take the blame, and the candidate is either King Wusun or him, and everyone else is not qualified.
At a certain moment, Wusun Xiang thought about abolishing the king of Wusun and leaving the new king, or simply replacing him, but he quickly vetoed it.
King Wusun is not a puppet, and even if he is a puppet, he is not abolish if he wants to, once he initiates a mutiny, Wusun is likely to fall apart.
"The old man said before that you can't give up your reputation or even offend a powerful country because of a little short-term profit. Now it's okay, the benefits have not been obtained, the monarch has been plundered, the reputation has also been stinky, and the Zhao State has also been offended. Yoshihiko sighed deeply, although he did not approve of plundering the caravan, he never thought that things would turn out like this in the end.
"Kunjian!" Wusun Xiang suddenly thought that this matter was done by Kun Jian from the beginning.
"Seriously injured and unconscious, I was rescued, I don't know when I woke up." A minister said.
"Take a good look at it, wait for the king to come back and dispose of him." Wusun Xiang said in a deep voice. With Kunjian's status, even if he can't carry the entire pot, he can still carry most of it.
When the time comes, he will carry the remaining half of the pot, and with his status and power, the impact will not be very great.
"What about the king?" Someone asked.
"What else can I do? We followed behind, waiting for the Zhao people to release the king back. Wusun Xiang said angrily.
I have already scolded King Wusun countless times in my heart, I usually don't see you Corporal Lixian, but finally Corporal Lixian once and sent himself out.
"That'...... Do it after that? ”
"Can you promise to keep everyone behind?" Wusun Xiang looked coldly at the person who had just spoken, and the other party shrank his head and stopped talking.
…… After leaving Akiti Castle, the caravan slowly moved southwest in the direction of the mountain range, the mountain road was rugged, and there were wounded in the ranks, so the speed of the march was very slow.
"Rest here for the night and change the dressing for the wounded." The sun was just forty-five degrees to the west, so Mao stopped and looked around, the field of vision was quite wide, and it was difficult for the enemy to ambush.
Moreover, there is only one big country nearby, Wusun, unless Wusun doesn't want their monarch anymore, it is impossible to do it.
"No." Lian An and the military doctor said.
"Huai, you take someone to cut down some trees, burn the bodies of the brothers who died in battle, and put the ashes in a box, with their names and household registration addresses written on them. The fox died in Shouqiu, we can't bring them back to Zhao alive, and we must also bring their ashes back to Zhao after death. Mao Sui said again.
The mountains on both sides are full of trees, some of them know each other, some of them don't, but none of these are important, they can be burned.
Since walking out of the desert, there are still many mountains and rivers and trees along the way. hercules
"My subordinates will go." Huai nodded solemnly.
"Thorn, you lead people to kill all the seriously injured horses and camels, stew the meat a little bit, and let everyone have a full meal." Mao Sui continued.
"No."
"Hey, you and the guide go and explore the surrounding terrain."
"No."
"Sir, the Wusun people from the rear are here." Lian An suddenly pointed in the direction he came from and said. I saw a group of Wusun people slowly approaching in this direction on the winding road a few miles away, and it was Wusun Xiang and Dalu and other officials who walked in the front.

"Take the king of Wusun to the high ground behind, and as long as the Wusun people dare to come, they will be slaughtered immediately." Mao Sui said sharply.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me, they won't come." King Wusun was suddenly in a hurry and shouted loudly, reminding the Wusun people in the distance not to approach.
Not far away, Wusun Xiang looked at the tied Wusun King, and couldn't wait to rush over and get rid of it, saving such a shame.
In the end, he had to suppress the anger in his heart and ordered everyone to stop.
"We will also set up camp, and we will leave when the Zhao people leave." Wusun Xiang ordered. …… At dawn the next day, the caravan started cooking, and after eating, continued its departure.
Later, when the Wusun officials learned that the caravan was open, they didn't care about eating, so they hurriedly followed, and they didn't dare to get too close.
As soon as they got too close, the hateful general of Zhao stood at the end with King Wusun in his hand and pressed his sword against King Wusun's neck.
In this way, it was not until noon on the fourth day that the caravan completely left Wusun.
"Now you can let me go." King Wusun said sadly that in just a few days, he had lost two laps.
In all fairness, Mao Sui didn't abuse him, and cooked a bowl of broth for him, but where could King Wusun eat it.
"When you enter the city, the king will leave." Mao Sui pointed to a small city in front of him that was not so much a city as a valley.
This small city is located between two large mountains, and it does not belong to Wusun, but to a country called Weitou, with three or four hundred households and a population of more than two thousand, which is a small country.
In fact, small countries like Weitou are a common phenomenon in the Western Regions, and large countries like Wusun are only a very small exception.
"Thank you, sir." King Wusun breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't kill him. After seeing the Zhao army, the captain did not dare to stop the caravan from entering the city, especially when the guard general learned that the king of Wusun was also in the team, and after reporting, the king of the state of Weitou went out of the city to greet him in person.
"Dare to ask...... Who is the king of Wusun? The Captain asked cautiously.
"Isn't that what it is?" Lian An pointed to King Wusun who was tied to the horse and said.
"Don't be joking, general, how can he be the king of Wusun." The Captain Monarch smiled.
At this time, a soldier came running from outside the city, walked up to the monarch of the captain, and whispered a few words. Weitou Guojun's face suddenly changed greatly, and he hurriedly leaned over and saluted,
"I didn't know that the envoy of the kingdom came to visit, and I missed the welcome, and I asked the envoy to atone for my sins."
"If you come uninvited, why do you need to come from afar? Besides, the old man is just doing business this time. Mao Sui waved his hand.

"I don't know why King Wusun offended the envoy?" The monarch of the state of Yutou forcibly held back a smile, walked up to the king of Wusun, and asked with a pretended sad face,
"King Wusun is good, do you need Xiao Wang to prepare some water and food?" Just now, the lieutenant told him that there was a big battle in Wusun a few days ago, and 5,000 Wusun cavalry were defeated by 500 people, and even the king of Wusun was taken captive.
Then he said that not far from the city, there were the figures of Wusun and other ministers.
