After thinking about it carefully, Qiu Ye waved his hand, and said a little weakly: "Let it go, let the Hun mission come in." ”

The current situation of the Otsuki clan is that they can't afford to offend anywhere, so they can only let it in.

The steppe border between Tatar and the Western Regions.

When Ye Hu, the general of the Great Moon Clan, received the news from Wang Cheng, he immediately spread the news to the opposite side.

Let Ban Chao and others receive the news.

The next day, more than 100 people from the Ban Dynasty walked from the Tatar steppe, and under the watchful eyes of hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides, they walked out of the Tatar steppe and stepped on the boundary of the Western Regions.

Ye Hu's side immediately arranged five hundred guards for them to prevent them from having an accident and led them to the royal city.

And the same was true on the side of the Huns.

On the way, Ban Chao smiled and asked Abulizi, "How is it?" Have you ever thought that you would go to the royal city of the Otsuki clan like this? ”

Abulizi shook his head: "I didn't think about it, I once thought that I would never be able to return to the Western Regions in this life." ”

Ban Chao smiled, looked ahead and said, "I will come back, in this life, what won't happen?" ”

"Maybe."

Ablizi sighed and said nothing.

And at this moment, a carrier pigeon fluttered its wings and flew from the sky, and it magically landed on Ban Chao's shoulder.

Ban Chao was also stunned when he saw this carrier pigeon, but then he reacted, there should be some emergency, and there was news from Yunzhou County.

Grabbed the carrier pigeon in his hand, took out a small bamboo tube from his ankle, opened it, took out the note inside, and looked at it, Ban Chao's face suddenly changed.

Ablizi, who was on the side, saw it and asked suspiciously, "What happened?" ”

Ban Chao said with a solemn face: "The Xiongnu side has also sent an envoy, and they are heading towards the royal city of the Dayue clan like us. ”

"What's wrong with that?"

Ablizi didn't understand, but Ban Chao understood what such a move of the Xiongnu meant at such a critical moment.

Ban Chao muttered:

"This border incident really has something to do with the Xiongnu, otherwise how could they send an embassy almost at the same time as us, I think they just want to deliberately provoke a war between us and the Great Moon Clan!

Drag our Yunzhou County into the quagmire of war, but they can stay out of the matter and wait for the opportunity to sneak attack from behind! ”

Through the actions of the Xiongnu, Ban Chao understood the sinister intentions of the Xiongnu, and he also believed that the Yunzhou County that received the news also understood what happened.

Because in addition to informing himself of the Xiongnu sending an embassy on the note, there is also a sentence that Yunzhou County should have told him.

"Adapt to the situation, Yunzhou County will always be behind you!"

Ban Chao knew what to do.

When he commanded the people, "Brothers, hurry up! ”

The team's footsteps were a little faster, but at this time, Ban Chao secretly said something to Abuliz.

Ablizi looked at him in amazement.

Ban Chao shrugged his shoulders and said, "Be prepared, make more preparations."

How? Could it be that you don't have the means to contact them? ”

"Yes!"

Ablizi immediately said without hesitation:

"We have secretly established an intelligence channel between the countries of the Western Regions after the arrival of the Great Moon Clan, and when we reach the city on the road, I can spread the news.

It's just that I'm not sure if they can trust you or not. ”

Ban Chao smiled, patted Ablizi's shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will give them a reassuring pill, and they will believe me when the time comes." ”

"Reassurance?"

Abulizi was puzzled, but apparently Ban Chao didn't have the idea of explaining to him, so he shook his head and could only give up, and at the same time began to prepare.

On the way to the royal city of the Great Moon Clan, you will pass through three cities in the Western Regions along the way, namely Tulin, Juge, and Sufang.

The three cities are hundreds of miles apart, and the troops have to stay in them to rest and replenish fresh water and various supplies before they can continue to move forward.

From Túrin, the Ban Dynasty deliberately went out to buy things during the stay of the envoys in various cities, as if they were going to buy souvenirs.

At first, the guards who had been sent to protect them, but who were also on their mission to monitor them, were nervous, afraid that they were doing something, but soon realized that they had just bought something and gradually let their guard down.

It wasn't until the party came to the city of Sufang, the closest to the royal city, that the guards didn't know that Ablizi took the opportunity to buy the bag to spread the news.

And soon this news spread to the ears of the high-level leaders of the entire Western Regions.

Finally, after six or seven days of traveling, the group finally came to the royal city of the Otsuki clan, which is now the royal city of the Kushan Empire.

Originally, on the day of entering the city, Ban Chao wanted to go to see Qiu Yeqi, but he was refused, and placed them in a certain block in the city, saying that they should wait patiently for His Majesty the Emperor to summon him.

On the other side, just before and after them, the envoys of the Huns also came to Ankang City, and they were also placed in a street and did not meet.

In order to prevent the two sides from meeting and causing trouble, the Dayue clan deliberately placed the Xiongnu envoys and the envoys of Yunzhou County two blocks apart to prevent them from meeting in private.

In the palace at this moment, Qiu Ye was walking back and forth with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed tightly, thinking about something.

When the minister on the side saw him turn around for a long time, he couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, what are you worried about?" ”

Qiu Ye stopped going back and forth, and sighed: "Cigu, now that the envoys of Yunzhou County and the Xiongnu have come to Ankang together, I am worried about this, and I don't know what to do and which one to meet first." ”

Ci Gu, the former prime minister of the Great Xia State and now the chief administrative minister of the Kushan Empire, immediately understood the emperor's concerns after hearing this.

Whether it is Yunzhou County or the Xiongnu, now they are the objects that the Dayue clan does not want to provoke, and it is often a huge war with hundreds of thousands of troops.

Now the Otsuki clan doesn't want to fight, so His Majesty the Emperor doesn't know what to do to avoid such a war.

Cigu thought for a moment and then said:

"Your Majesty, we all know the purpose of the envoy from Yunzhou County, it should be the extermination of the four tribes on the Tatar border not long ago.

They should have come to find out the truth and see if we did it, if not, we would be able to resolve the misunderstanding and not have a war again, and we know very well that we didn't do it in the first place, but there is no way to confirm it.

As soon as the Xiongnu envoys came, we could be sure that they did it, and their purpose was obvious, that is, to provoke a war between us and Yunzhou County, not long ago they had just failed a battle with Yunzhou County, which was deliberately looking for trouble for Yunzhou County.

The purpose of sending an envoy this time is to avoid a truce between our two sides, so the Xiongnu envoys will definitely make trouble, and the misunderstanding between us and Yunzhou County may not be able to explain clearly.

Therefore, the minister's suggestion is that the two powers harm each other, and the lesser of them is also! ”

"The lesser of these?"

Qiu Ye was stunned.

Cigu nodded and continued: "Let's meet the envoys of Yunzhou County first, and then meet the Xiongnu envoys."

Look at what Yunzhou County said, and then see what the Huns said, if you must fight, then choose one of them that can win, and use the other side to win the other side! ”

Qiu Ye thought for a while, then nodded heavily and agreed.
