Chapter 118 Dominoes
The Huns moved westward, so why didn’t the Fat King know?
As Ren Hong's words came to an end, silence fell into the tent. The fat king had a gloomy face, and all the hidden worries in his heart were exposed by Ren Hong.
Long before he first inherited the position of Kunmi, the Right King moved the royal court to the grasslands northeast of Tianshan Mountain. For this purpose, the Han Dynasty sent General Li Guangli, the Second Shi, to go on an expedition.
In the Battle of Tianshan in the second year of Tianhan, although the Han army killed more than 10,000 people, the Youxian King's army was particularly powerful and severely damaged Li Guangli on his return. If Zhao Chongguo had not bravely cut off the rear, Li Guangli would have almost wiped out all his troops.
In recent years, the right kings of the Huns have begun to enter the vast basin between Jinshan (Altai Mountain) and Tianshan Mountains more and more, and Wusun feels increasingly stressed.
The Yili King, Huyan King, and Wuchanmu tribes all settled there one after another. With the breeding of tribe population, the tribes continued to expand westward with the encouragement of the Right King. The conflicts between the herdsmen on both sides increased day by day in order to compete for the pastures.
If it weren't for this, the fat king would not agree to relieve his worries and send his children to the Han Dynasty to show his sincerity.
But the fat king hoped that the alliance would go slowly to avoid irritating the Huns, so he naturally could not admit Ren Hong's words and just sneered: "Strange words!"
Ren Hong's words were not alarmist, but threats that were near. Xinjiang in later generations is now divided into three parts. The southern border is the city-state, and the Junggar Basin in the northern border is the right part of the Huns. Only the Yili River Valley belongs to Wusun. The Huns were naturally very envious of the fertile land occupied by Wusun.
Jieyou saw the fat king's worries and immediately assisted Ren Hong: "Kunmi, what Ren Jewish said is a fact. I have been here in Wusun for more than 20 years, so I will talk about my shallow insights."
She said slowly: "Where is the country in this world that can occupy a land forever? Just say that the land of the Seven Rivers was originally a land of Sedi. Later, the Great Yuezhi was forced by the Huns to break the west and the King of Sedi. The King of Sedi crossed the south to the west, and the Great Yuezhi lived in the land."
"After just over a decade, the Liejiaomi Kunmi followed the orders of the Xiongnu Shanyu and took Wusun to defeat the Dayuezhi. The Dayuezhi moved west again and went to Daxia, while the Wusun lived in Qihe and did not return."
"Sairen, Dayuezhi, Wusun, for decades, the Qihe three times changed its masters, just like waves, the next waves come, and the previous waves go. Since this is the case, why can't the Xiongnu, which is known as the control of the strings, drive away or annex the Wusun and occupy this land by themselves?"
Ren Hong was a little surprised. Princess Jieyou is worthy of being a hero among girls. She is really a good idea. She said what Ren Hong wants to say.
Yes, this is the domino effect of the nomadic peoples.
The vast grassland area extends from Hungary in Europe to the Mongolian Plateau, which is tens of thousands of miles away. However, nomads on the grassland generally rely on the East to become powerful. When the first card that relies on the East is pushed down, it will trigger a chain effect.
In the past hundred years, the successive migration of Sairen, Dayuezhi and Wusun has changed the pattern of Central Asia.
The Greeks' Daxia Kingdom was defeated by the Yuezhi and the Sei people, and only some small city-states remained in northern India.
Dayuezhi, who escaped from the East Asian monster house, suddenly found that he was chased by the Hun Wusun to Central Asia. He looked around in a daze and could not find an opponent he could fight. He was immediately overjoyed and was at ease to be a master in the local area. In the future, they would continue to go south, capture Gandhara, enslave North India, ride on elephants to show off their power, and believe in a Buddha when they have time. It is really a leisurely way.
In the future, the Northern Huns moved westward under the pressure of the Han Dynasty, which would completely disrupt the pattern of the entire world island. Alan, East and West Goths, Vandals, Germanics, and peoples were beaten by the whip of God and were involved in the great migration, which eventually led to the demise of Western Rome.
Seeing that the fat king was moved, Ren Hong continued to work hard: "I heard that the evil troops of Wusun, Cheyan and other places had been invaded by the Huns, and this was just the beginning. As the Huns continued to move westward, it was the Yilishui turn, the turn of Rehai and Akagu city."
"Soon, Wusun will lose the grasslands and pastures on which it was built, either become a vassal of the Huns, or escape in a panic like a hundred years ago, like a deer driven out of the forest!"
Ren Hong talked about his experiences when he passed by the Devil City. Those savages of Wusun who survived by robbery and eating human flesh were the remains of the people who plunged into the desert more than a hundred years ago when Wusun was defeated by Yuezhi.
"Does Kunmi hope Wusun will repeat the tragedy of that year? I hope that his young children and grandchildren will be saved by wolves and crows when Wusun's country is destroyed?"
The fat king sighed, learned to relieve his worries, and bowed to Ren Hong.
"I really don't want to do this. I dare to ask Ren's Evangelist, what should Wusun do?"
"There is only one way to make up your mind to form an alliance with the great man!"
Ren Hongdao: "I know what Kunmi is worried about. Yes, Emperor Xiaowu's later years, because he was too rushing, he failed to expeditions to the Huns several times, which made the Huns more proud for twenty years. But in recent years, the Han Dynasty has recovered its national strength, but the Huns have become increasingly weak."
"I told Kunmi that the result of several Han-Hungary Wars. In the first year of Yuanfeng, the Xiongnu sent 20,000 cavalry from left and right troops to four teams, and entered the border to be a bandit. The Han soldiers chased him and beheaded and captured 9,000 people. They were born to the King of Outu, but the Han army was completely lost. This led to the Shanyuting moving west again and did not dare to chase water plants in the south."
"In the third year of Yuanfeng, when the Shanyu saw that the left army was defeated by the Han Dynasty, he asked the Right Xian King and Li Khan to spy on Dunhuang, Jiuquan and Zhangye, hoping to capture Hexi. As a result, Li Khan and more than 4,000 cavalry were all destroyed, and hundreds of people were escaped."
"After these two battles, the Huns did not dare to invade the Han border again, and could only focus on enslaving the Western countries to the west, hoping to seize the land of Wusun."
"The Huns are tired. As long as the Han and Wusun are in alliance, they will be defeated. They will eliminate the threat from the Huns to Wusun in one fell swoop. Please make plans early!"
Jieyou also advised in Fat King's ear: "Kunmi sent Yaoguang and Wannian to Chang'an to continue his favor. This time, the Han Dynasty was in trouble, and it was the time when Wusun showed sincerity. Wusun did not have to fight directly with the Xiongnu, but it could also quickly destroy Kucha and rescue the trap of Luntai."
Ren Hong, a guy with a fake scepter, has already started to pat his chest and make a promise for the big men in the court.
"Yes, such a great Han protected Luntai and dismembered Kucha. At that time, the Han army's beacon towers and farmed in Wusun will connect with Wusun. Once the right part of the Huns dares to invade Wusun, the Han army can immediately support it. The north and south of the Tianshan Mountains are mutually supportive, so that Wusun can be safe!"
After another silence, the fat king stood up with a huge and heavy body, looked at Ren Hong gloomyly, pulled out the sword from his waist, scared Ren Hong and subconsciously covered his neck.
Fortunately, the fat king immediately turned around and picked up the head drinker of the gilded Yuezhi Prince, let Jieyou fill the wine and scratch the wine with the golden knife he wore.
"Tomorrow, I will lead 4,000 cavalry to fight east with my eldest son Yuan Guimi, retaliate against Kucha, force the Huns to help the Han army to rescue the siege!"
Then, the skull used as a bowl of wine vessel was sent to Ren Hong with both hands. Under his red beard, there was a seemingly sincere smile.
"Although there are many people in the country who are afraid of Hu and cannot climb the East Mountain, and the White Horse and Han envoys openly form a bloody alliance, please drink this wine and form a speech alliance first!"
...
"Why am a messenger who holds the Fake Festival, why did I form an alliance with the King of Wusun?"
Ren Hong found that he seemed to be having a big time, but fortunately, his goal was achieved and his troops were borrowed. The fat king was willing to speed up his approach to the Han Dynasty. He was just going to make a formal alliance in the future. As long as the result was good, the process would be ignored.
But the wine filled with the human skull was really disgusting. After Ren Hong returned to his residence, he sniffed his throat and vomited out.
The next day, the fat king did what he said, and announced in public that Yuan Guimi would be the general and the right general would be the deputy assistant, sent four thousand cavalry to detour Akagu City and attack Kucha eastward.
Ren Hong and Yaoguang want to go to Chang'an by the way, so of course they also have to go with each other. He also hopes to exert his own influence on this raid and lay some future foreshadowings in the North Western Regions.
Before leaving, Princess Jieyou asked someone to call Ren Hong. After sending the others away, Jieyou put his hands on his forehead and bowed to Ren Hongchang.
"Thank you, Ren Jen for persuading Kunmi."
It was really a short life, Ren Hong hurriedly replied, "Why do you have to do this princess? Hong can't afford to be it."
Jie You smiled and said, "I often hear people talk about the style of lobbying counselors during the Chu and Han dynasties. Yesterday, I saw it again in Ren's Messenger."
Ren Hong said humbly: "If Chu hadn't expected Wu Jutu and others' plans, he would have taught me a solution in advance, and paved the way to Kunmi to make Kunmi feel close to him, even if the boy was so clever, it would be useless."
Jieyou shook his head, looked at the brothers and sisters Yuan Guimi who were packing their bows and horses outside, summoning the troops to set off, with a little reluctant expression, and suddenly sighed:
"It's not to be hiding Ren's eunuch. The reason why I asked Wusun to send troops this time was that Yuan Guimi was the general. In addition to hoping that as the grandson of the Han family, he could help the Han soldiers more, it also mixed with my selfishness!"
