The royal city of the Great Moon Clan, a city in the Western Regions built by huge stones - Xia Tuo City.

Originally, this city was owned by a kingdom called Daxia in the Western Regions, but the Huns, who moved all the way north after the Dayue clan was driven from the grassland to the Western Regions by the Tatars, happened to enter the land of the Daxia people.

The blow of a near-peak nomad to a small country of less than 200,000 people is devastating.

However, in a year, the Great Xia Kingdom, which was once known as Yiba and Yelang in the Western Regions, completely fell under the iron hooves of the Great Yue Clan, and all the Great Xia territories were occupied by the Great Yue Clan, and the remaining Great Xia people became slaves.

The migrated Otsuki clan had a foothold in the Western Regions, and the Kushan Empire was led by the Kushan Clan, the most powerful clan in the Otsuki clan at that time.

The former Guishan Hou took the position of Shan Yu from the hands of Lao Shan Yu, and was called the Guishan Emperor, that is, the Emperor of the Great Yue Clan.

From then on, the people of the Western Regions called the Da Yue clan the Kushan, while the Tatars and Xiongnu on the steppe still called them the Da Yue clan.

After losing the last battle with the Tatars, in order to recover its strength as soon as possible, the Otsuki clan set its sights on the countries of the Western Regions and launched a special attack.

In the face of the attack of the Otsuki clan, the countries of the Western Regions were beaten by the Otsuki clan like a chicken and a dog, and in the end, they could only rely on the alliance to barely block the attack of the Otsuki clan, but they were also forced to be asked by the Otsuki clan to pay tribute and become a vassal state.

Otherwise, the Great Moon Clan will continue to attack, and the countries of the Western Regions that have been frightened by the Great Moon Clan will have no choice but to agree to become the subject countries of the Great Moon Clan, and pay tribute every year from then on.

And Yelang, as the first target selected by the Otsutsuki clan as soon as the war began, was directly destroyed by the Otsuki clan, and their land became the territory of the Kushan Empire.

Xia Tuo City, the royal palace.

Emperor Guishan Qiu Ye was frowning as he looked at the front-line military newspaper in his hand, and even the clothes hanging on his right shoulder slipped down, and he didn't care about the whole person being naked.

And below him, there were civil and military officials of the Kushan Empire standing on the left and right, originally there were only military generals in the Otsuki Clan, and the nomads have always been like this.

After annexing Great Xia, they gathered a group of officials from the Xia State and asked them to govern the government affairs and people's livelihood within the country.

The original generals of the Dayue clan still held the military power of the Kushan Empire and became the martial nobles in the Kushan Empire.

"Shan Yu, isn't it just that the Tatars are going to fight again? If they want to fight, we will fight with them! Can our Otsutsuki Clan be afraid of them?! ”

"That's it, Shan Yu, if there is anything to hesitate, you can gather troops and fight with those wild dogs again! We, the Otsuki clan, are not afraid of them! ”

After the information from the front was delivered, it was said that everyone knew that the Tatars had gathered hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses on the border of the steppe.

Compared with Qiu, the generals of the Otsuki clan, who are the nobles of the martial arts, have asked for war, saying that they want to fight with the Tatars, so that the Tatars know that their Otsuki clan is not easy to bully.

However, the former Great Xia officials, who held the opposite opinion among the nobles, immediately dissuaded: "Your Majesty the Emperor, we advise you to think carefully, although the war between our Kushan and the countries of the Western Regions has stopped, the losses caused by our original war with the Tatars have not been completely healed.

Once we fight with the Tatars again at this time, it is difficult to guarantee that those countries in the Western Regions that have been forced to surrender by force will not attack us with backhand, and then we will be in the predicament of fighting on two fronts, which is a very dangerous behavior for the Empire!

Please think carefully and don't make a decision lightly! ”

As administrators, they are well aware that the Kushan Empire now looks like a flower, but in fact it is like cooking oil on a fire, and it can explode at any moment.

Although the continuous conquest made up for some of the trauma caused by the previous war with the Tatars, it also brought the essence of the Kushan to the extreme.

Not only did the soldiers in Kushan begin to become war-weary, but the logistics in Kushan had also reached its limit.

Otherwise, with the nomadic character of the Dayue clan, how could they not directly annex the countries of the Western Regions, but accept them as vassals?

That's really because the logistics can't be beaten, and the country is counting on a few years of recuperation, saving up logistics, and then doing it to those countries in the Western Regions.

That's right, Qiu Ye's purpose from the beginning was to include the entire Western Regions in the territory of Guishan.

Because in the last war with the Tatars, he had already discovered that only by unifying the entire Western Regions could he regain the steppe from the Tatars.

Otherwise, in terms of population, troops, and materials, the existing reserves of the Otsuki clan are completely insufficient to compare with the entire Tatar.

However, now that the Tatars are starting to gather troops on the border, this is a very dangerous sign, because as the Emperor of Kushan, no bhikshu knows better about the strength of Kushan today.

Those meritorious generals knew how to fight, and how did they know that if they continued to fight, they would not even have to give them food, and if they could not get enough food from the enemy, they would starve to death just by starving, let alone fighting.

This is also the reason why Qiu Ye was silent for so long after receiving the news.

Listening to the civil and military officials below, Qiu Ye took a deep breath and couldn't make up his mind.

Just when the battle was about to break out in the palace, the meritorious nobles of the Otsutsuki clan had already begun to tie the clothes draped over their left shoulders around their waists, and were about to use their fists to "persuade" those civil officials by force, when suddenly another messenger rushed in!

"Report! Urgent military situation report ahead! King Yun of the Song Dynasty, who now ruled the Tatar steppe, sent a mission to our dynasty, and the commander of the front, General Ye Hu, sent a letter to Wangcheng asking if he wanted to put the mission into the border? ”

The military intelligence messenger in red quickly told the information transmitted from the front line in the main hall.

As soon as these words came out, the original noisy voice in the hall suddenly fell silent, and then Qi Qi looked at Qiu Yeqi on the throne.

They didn't know that when they heard the news, Qiu Ye's heart was greatly relieved.

With their Guishan's strength, they naturally knew about the Xiongnu's invasion of Tatar some time ago, and they also knew that now Tatar had all surrendered to the Song State, which was sealed under the Yun King of Yunzhou County, and was called Tian Khan.

Now that the Cloud King has sent an envoy, it means that this battle does not have to be fought, and there is still room for turnaround, otherwise why would he send an envoy to come and let the Tatars fight directly.

Immediately, he ordered: "Order Ye Hu to let him let the envoy enter, but the number of the mission cannot exceed five hundred, let him send troops to protect along the way, don't let the mission have an accident!" ”

Qiu Ye is not stupid, he has also investigated the reason for the sudden forced army of the Tatars, and knows that the border tribes of the Tatars were wiped out some time ago, and it is said that their Dayue clan did it.

Of course, he knew that it was not the Da Yue clan that did it, so of course he suspected the Huns.

Now the Yunzhou mission is coming, it is an opportunity for him to resolve the misunderstanding with the Tatars, if the previous thing is really done by the Huns, then the Huns will definitely wait for the opportunity to intercept and kill this mission, so that the two sides have no room to turn around.

Immediately after Qiu Ye gave the order, a civil official prepared a document, signed it by him, handed it to the messenger, and sent it to the border.

Just when Qiu Ye wanted to say something, suddenly another messenger came to report!

"Report! News came from the southwest border that the Xiongnu Da Danyu sent an embassy to come! General Heka asked Wangcheng if the Xiongnu mission was allowed to enter the country? ”

Wow!

The Xiongnu actually sent an envoy to come, why did they come, and everyone in the court was in an uproar!

Qiu Ye also frowned, feeling that things had become tricky......
