218: Yue's

Yue's exists since ancient times, has been grazing in the Hexi Corridor, called "Yu's" in Zhou, 20 years ago, Yue's power was great, and Donghu coerced the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu had sent proton to Yue's original proton, that is, today's Xiongnu Maodun Shan Yu Luan Ti Kupule

"Later, he fled back from the Yueshi and killed his father to stand on his own" Zhang Yan led the horse while introducing the history of the Xiongnu Mao Dun Shan Yu to Meng Guan "After that, the soldiers were strong, defeated the Donghu in the east, attacked the Yueshi in the west, and became the overlord of the grassland, and the Yueshi was defeated by the Xiongnu, so he gave up the original large area of the rich grassland and migrated westward"

"In this sense, Luan Tiküppler is indeed a man of great talent."

"What's so great about Maudun," the young man in the felt hat retorted unconvinced, "the Great Han Heavenly Family is lenient and benevolent, much stronger than his barbarian"

Hearing this, Zhang Yan seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and she was extremely happy

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing" Zhang Yan bent her eyebrows, "I just want to thank you for your attention"

Ranger is the most lawless group of people in the history of the Han Dynasty, they ignore the law and discipline, and believe in the power of the sword in their hands, and even such people praise Liu Ying, which can also show that Liu Ying has been very successful in these years

Since the second year of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu Mao Dunshan defeated the Yueshi, and the Yueshi's power in the Hexi Corridor has been greatly reduced

The Han-Hungarian border is in strict formation, according to the danger and defended, in contrast, the same nomadic Xiongnu and Yueshi between the border defense of the loose more than a vein of grassland, can not even be said to have a real sense of the border more than ten years ago, after the defeat of the Yueshi and the Xiongnu, the control of the hometown of Hexi is not as good as before, many Huns into the territory of the Yueshi

"No matter what," Meng Guan said with joy in his heart, "we have finally escaped from the hellish Huns" full of emotion

"Yes," Zhang Yan's tense heart also relaxed

In the middle of October, Zhang Yan and the others arrived at Yueshi, took off the costume of the Huns, re-disguised themselves as Wusun merchants, and led their horses through the market

"Maybe in ten days, we can go back to Dahan" She couldn't help but get excited, turned around, walked backwards, stood on tiptoe, and wanted to jump up and beat Meng Guan, but suddenly Meng Guan's expression became tense

"Don't move" his voice was soft, but with a solemn meaning, "hide behind my back"

Her face changed slightly, and she listened to the sound of her boots stepping on the ground, and a group of more than 100 Yue Clan warriors surrounded the place where they were, with bows and arrows in the distance, ready to attack

"Who?" Meng Guan looked solemn and shouted, "Isn't it too shameless for the rats to dare not show their faces since they have already put on this siege posture?" ”

No one answered

The Tsuki's samurai who were surrounding tilted their heads, as if they hadn't heard

Zhang Yan tugged at the hem of his clothes, shook his head and signaled him not to move for the time being, and repeated Meng Guan's words in Xiongnu language

The voice fell, and after a while, a voice smiled and said, "Sure enough, it's a beauty, no wonder the Huns' Zuogu Liwang will never forget."

The Tsukishi warrior in the front row made way to the sides, and a man dressed in white stepped out

"In the next month, the five princes of the clan are with it, and it is polite"

In a wide tent on the north side of the Yue Clan's royal court, Zhang Yan looked at the rather bright Yue Clan's clothes presented by the maid, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and asked, "Give me a change of clothes that can cover my whole body."

"Where's your master?"

"Let your master come to me"

She repeated it several times in Chinese and Xiongnu dialects, and the two maids in front of her were still smiling, but they looked dazed, not knowing whether they didn't understand, or pretending not to hear if they understood

……

Zhang Yan had to admit defeat and stay alone in this tent for three days, and finally heard the maid calling outside, "Meng Niangzi, our king invites you to come over"

The current Yueshi Wang Gan Ze is an old man in his fifties, his body is obese, and he has reached the point where he will pant if he moves slightly, and at this time he is enjoying the song and dance in the hall with the eldest prince Mo Yiou and the fifth prince Anzhi, and he heard the shrill voice of the temple people shouting, "Meng Niangzi enters the palace to see", so he raised his head on the first seat and couldn't help but breathe

The light dress of the moon prepared by the maid was ingenious by the girl who strolled in: a goose-yellow dress was cut into a square of cloth and placed on the bare shoulders; Another pink skirt was staggered into the lining of the white skirt, and the gauze eyes were hazy and mismatched, like smoke, and the skin inside could not be seen, and at the same time the length of the original white skirt was extended, so that the beautiful face of the woman who dragged to the ground was a little more fairy, and as soon as Fang appeared, the dancing girls in the palace were overshadowed

"Sure enough, it's a very good-looking female doll, no wonder it's ......" Gan Ze was drunk, and couldn't help but praise, a pair of cloudy eyes with some ** looked at Zhang Yan presumptuously

"If my father likes it," said the eldest prince, Moyiou, who was pleased with the wine, "why don't you ...... it tonight."

The Yueshi people unscrupulously teased their own words, Zhang Yan frowned, but she did not look without the slightest panic and fear, stepped into the next guest seat, poured a glass of wine, shook the wine, and said softly, "Thanks to the favor of the Yueshi King, the people's daughter is honored, the Yueshi King and the eldest prince can think about it, I am the person that the Hun Zuogu Liwang wants, if something happens in the Yueshi, you can deal with the anger of the Zuoguli King?" ”

The king of the Yue clan and Mo Yiou are both the masters of the Yue clan, how can they have been bumped into like this on weekdays? couldn't help but be angry, but looking at Zhang Yanyun's light and breezy expression, she chuckled in her heart, but gave birth to a little worry: this woman has an extremely good appearance, and she is really Qu Yuan's pet, if she really offends her, she will blow some pillow wind next to Qu Yu in the future...... The Yue's national strength is still declining, so why should he offend such a strong enemy as Xiaqu Plover?

Mo Yiou laughed, raised his glass and said, "It's not our father and son, Meng Niangzi, please don't mind."

When Zhang Yan went back, the fifth prince was able to pace to the end, and said softly beside her, "Meng Niangzi looks proud?" ”

"No," Zhang Yan shook her head, "In the hands of the enemy, how can I be proud?" Fifth prince, to tell you the truth, it was not the king of Zuogu Li who passed on the letter to the Yue clan to capture me, but the Da Yan clan of the Huns? ”

An Zhi's eyes flashed with a swift light, "So what?" ”

"Not how? Yueshi, do you really plan to return me to the Huns? ”

"How?" An Zhi smiled casually, "The Da Yan clan promised to give the Yue clan 10,000 taels of gold and 1,000 cattle and sheep; If you want Yue's backwater, Meng Niangzi, can you have a bigger reward than the Huns give me? ”

"That's not necessarily," Zhang Yanyanran said

"This is not the place to speak, if the fifth prince is ambitious, he might as well find another time"

Zhang Yan washed, changed into the clothes she had when she first came to Yueshi, pulled the green silk on her head into a bun, and looked at the night leak in the tent, it was already three o'clock

A male voice suddenly appeared and said softly, "Go outside and keep watch, don't let people in"

The round-faced Yue's maid saluted, retreated silently, and carefully lowered the curtain to cover it

"How?" Zhang Yan smiled, "What does the fifth prince think about the people's daughter?" ”

An Zhi smiled slightly, and his lips pursed into a ruthless arc, "I'm looking at what is so great about the woman who can make the Timirona clan willing to exchange ten thousand taels of gold and a thousand cattle and sheep for it?"

"What did you do to my eldest brother?"

"Don't worry," An Zhi said lightly, "He is a warrior, and we Yue people also respect warriors."

Zhang Yan breathed a sigh of relief

“…… When the Yueshi was strong, the Xiongnu were just a small tribe, and they had been the proton of the Yueshi, but now the Yueshi has fallen to the point of obeying the orders of a woman of the Xiongnu, the fifth prince, are you really willing? The candle flame is like a lamp, Zhang Yan persuaded Kankan

"Unwilling, so what?" Anzhi's voice was flat, with a hint of irrepressible unwillingness and resentment

Fortunately, the bet was right, Zhang Yan's heart fell

Over the years, she spent more energy on the Xiongnu in the Weiyang Palace, for the Yueshi, only the knowledge learned in the history class of the previous life and a little understanding of the present life Yueshi was forced by the Xiongnu strong, the national strength declined little by little, and a little bit to the west of the Han Dynasty Emperor Wudi, the young Wudi Liu Che wanted to fight against the Xiongnu, heard that the Yueshi and the Xiongnu had a blood feud, sent Zhang Qian to the Western Regions, and persuaded the Yueshi and the Han to attack the Xiongnu Zhang Qian stayed in the Xiongnu for many years, and finally came to the Yueshi, but the time has been a long time, At that time, the king of the Yue clan had long lost his urgent hatred for the Xiongnu and the ambition to fight against the Xiongnu to regain his homeland, so Zhang Qian could only return with regret

So, what about fifty years before Zhang Qian's visit to Yue's? Zhang Qian's first trip out of the Western Regions was 138 BC, and the seventh year of Emperor Hui was BC, which happened to be 50 years

At this time, the Yue clan was repeatedly frustrated at the hands of the Xiongnu, but it had not yet formed a mortal enemy

But at this time, the Yue's people still have blood in their bodies, and they still have nostalgia for the glory of the past

In any country, there are both the main battle faction and the main peace faction at the banquet that day, she borrowed the name of the Xiongnu Zuogu Liwang Qu Plover to suppress the Yue Clan's King Yue's King Gan Ze and the eldest prince Mo Yiou all chose to soften and retreat after a short hesitation, but she noticed that the young fifth prince An Zhi's eyes flashed a trace of recklessness and disapproval

The fifth prince, Anzhi, is the most courageous main battle faction of the younger generation of the Yue clan

However, in just ten years, the Yueshi has fallen from the overlord of the grassland to the hands of the Xiongnu, and the whole people have really willingly accepted this overturn?

Willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, agar greasy nose, the woman sits elegantly on the couch, and the grace that comes out of her bones is only cultivated by a young nobleman

Under the candlelight, Zhang Yan was still beautiful and dusty, but An Zhi hid the initial amazement, looked at her with a slightly measured gaze, and said casually, "Just with a beautiful face and a few fluttering words, you are still not enough to ask me to give up the Huns and support you"

"Of course it's not enough to rely on me," Zhang Yan laughed lightly and spat out, "So, what about adding a big man?" ”

Anzhi's eyes suddenly lit up

The Great Han Dynasty is a huge country in the south of the Yue Clan, with a completely different nation and way of life from the Yue Clan, which was once consumed by internal strife between Qin and Chu, but gradually integrated in the past ten years, regaining the light of a generation of great powers

"Oh?" An Zhi's voice was low, but he was silent, "What does it have to do with the Han Dynasty?" ”

"Judging from the geographical location of the three kingdoms of Han, Xiongnu and Yueshi on the map," Zhang Yan held her chest reservedly and smiled lightly, "Compared with the Xiongnu, the topography of the Han and the Yueshi form horns with each other, I believe that the prince also knows that over the years, the Han and the Xiongnu have fought repeatedly, if the Yueshi and the Han cooperate, can they defeat the Xiongnu?" ”

She threw out enough bait to make people's hearts move, then stopped abruptly, got up and said with a smile, "I heard that now the Yue Clan's King Ganze is getting worse and worse, and the eldest prince Mo Yiou is about to take over the throne?" ”

She curtsied her knees and said apologetically and innocently, "I'm sorry, I'm only willing to say the next words to the people sitting in the Yue Clan's royal court."

If you can't ascend to the throne of the Yue clan, even if I say it, what's the use?

Anzhi was stunned and suddenly laughed, "Okay, you just wait"

When leaving the tent, An Zhi instructed the round-faced maid, "Serve this Meng lady well, don't be lazy"

In the next ten days, the Yue Clan's royal court seemed to be immersed in a sea of blood, and the sound of swords and soldiers could be heard everywhere Zhang Yan hid in the tent, staying at home, and when she slept on the couch with her eyes closed, it seemed that she could still hear the screams coming from nowhere

"What are you going to do?" Outside the tent, the round-faced maid screamed

After a while, the sharp-jawed maid broke in with a sword, her blue clothes were stained with blood, and she hurriedly saluted, "Meng Niangzi, I'm sorry, you want to go with me."

"Don't think" The round-faced maid chased in, "I am ordered by my master to protect the safety of Meng Niangzi, you want to take her away, unless you step on my corpse first"

"It's useless" Zhang Yan sat up and said softly

"I know that the masters behind the two of you want to get together through me and form a good relationship with the forces behind me, if you threaten them with me before, it may still play a little role, but now," she lifted the corner of the curtain and let the sound of fighting in the distance come in, "No matter how important the external force is, only if you have the power yourself, can it be used by me Therefore, now, even if I die in front of them, they will only not look at it, turn around and continue to fight, they also know this truth, so they have not sent anyone to my place"

The sharp-jawed maid was stunned, her right hand hung down weakly, and the sword slipped down with a clatter

"Since it's no longer possible," Zhang Yan said lightly, "We might as well just sit here and wait for the results to come out."

"Don't worry," she comforted, "After this incident, although there will be a purge of power in the royal court, it will not affect too widely, at least, the lives of your two maids should be fine."

……

The round-faced maid and the sharp-jawed maid stood opposite each other, standing three feet away from Zhang Yan, facing each other silently and nervously

I don't know how long it took, but a burst of cheers erupted in the royal court

The herald rode his horse in the street, shouting something back and forth in the Yueshi language, and the round-faced maid's eyes showed ecstasy, and the sharp-jawed maid's face suddenly turned pale, and with a wow, she fell to her knees and covered her face and wept bitterly

The morning sun rises from the east and shines in, revealing a snowy sky

Zhang Yan sighed in such an early morning, and said to herself in her heart, it seems that after all, it is the fifth prince An Zhi who won

On another five days, the curtain of the tent was lifted from the outside, and behind the two maids, the former fifth prince Anzhi walked in with his hand

Zhang Yan pursed her lips and smiled, got up and saluted, "The folk girl has seen the king of the Yue family"

The sun behind him shone on his crown, with a resplendent glow

Concentrate:

Yueshi: Yueshi was originally distributed in the early Warring States period of the nomadic people between Dunhuang and Qilian Mountains in the Hexi Corridor of present-day Gansu, and had a close relationship with the Xiongnu

In the 2nd century BC, the Yue's power was strong, and Donghu coerced the Xiongnu head Mandan Yu from two sides to send his son Mao Dun to the Yue's for the quality of Mao Dun to ascend the throne Shan Yu, about 205 BC before 202 years raised troops to attack the Yue clan, the Yue clan was defeated around 174 BC (the early years of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty), sent the right Xian King to lead the army to the west, defeated the Yue clan again, killed the Yue king, and made a drinking vessel with its skull After the defeat of the Yue clan, a large-scale migration to the west

At this time, the Yueshi experienced the first defeat, but not the second real humiliating defeat, the war territory shrank to the west, and there is no exact description of the Yue's territory at this time in the history books, therefore, I set it to be a little west of Dunhuang and not bordering the Han land at this time, if you want to reach the Han Dynasty, you must make a detour to the Xiongnu, or the territory of the Qiang people that will be mentioned later
