"Chanyu, the Han army bullied me, why did they attack Guishang?"

Di Lian leaned back slightly and said calmly: "Who said it was the Han army that harassed me? It was clearly the Kushan cavalry."

Without waiting for others to say anything, Dilian continued as if talking to himself: "We know the Han army well, and the Han army also knows us well. They should know in their hearts that no matter how secretly they do it, we can guess it."

The truth. They are so secretive, not to hide it from us, but to hide it from others except us. Because except us and them, no one will understand each other so well."

Once in the East, the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty were the only two great empires that stood at the top. The rest were not qualified to be alongside them, or even to be regarded as their enemies.

Even now, people like Guishang Anxi only know that the Northern Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty are very strong, but they don't know how strong they are.

"Guishang and Anxi don't know how powerful we are on the grassland, so they won't think like us. They will only doubt each other, because normally, if the Han people want to attack us, there is no need to hide.

There is no motive even at such a long distance."

"In this case, if you want to protect yourself, you must show your strength to deter them. Otherwise, with our current situation of being a strong foreign country and a strong domestic power, once we lose our deterrence, it will be difficult to survive under the siege of the two countries."

"An An'an is about to be pushed to the edge now. It is not good to press hard at this time. As for Guishuang, the south is at war with Shendu. The northern nobles are watching the fire from the other side, which has already caused many people's dissatisfaction. It is a great opportunity to attack. Stay

Fifty thousand fine cavalry are sent down to protect the tribe, and the rest will go south together to attack Guishang." Dilian said directly.

"yes!"

Although they were puzzled, due to their absolute trust in Shan Yu, all the generals present had no doubts and all responded with excitement in their hearts.

Then everyone retreated in order, leaving only Maoling alone.

"You still have doubts in your mind, don't you?"

Looking at Mao Ling, Di Lian said slowly.

"Hmm. Shanyu, no matter whether we win or lose in our attack on Kushan, it is meaningless. This is the time to recuperate and it is not appropriate to use troops." Mao Ling said.

"I know, but we have no choice. I'm afraid that the one from Dachu has already targeted us." Only Mao Ling was left, and Di Lian also took off his disguise slightly and said a little feebly.

"We can continue to move! Go further west to the border between Parthia and Rome, and join forces with Parthia to borrow an area to recuperate and help them fight against Rome." A trace of ferocity flashed across his face, but Mao Ling still gritted his teeth.

"Escape again? Then we Northern Huns may really have no courage anymore." Dilian sighed softly.

"Besides, the risk of moving westward is also very high now. Rome is a powerful enemy. If you rush there to break their confrontation, the result may be unpredictable. Moving westward is a last resort at this time. It is not a good idea unless it is a last resort.

.”

"But will the Han people let us go?" Mao Ling asked.

Dilian was silent when he heard this. As the Chanyu of the Northern Huns in this era, the pressure on him was really incomparable. The former Chanyu was a representative of glory and the incarnation of the Immortal Heaven, leading his people across the grassland wantonly.

Be the enemy of the world. However, nowadays, the name Shanyu is no longer so dazzling, but more represents responsibility and hope.

Dilian knew that every decision he made must be made with caution. The Northern Huns were at their most vulnerable now, like walking on a tightrope. If they were not careful, they might fall off a cliff.

"I don't know." Di Lian sighed softly: "The emperor of Dachu is not an easy character to deal with. I hope this time is just a test of his free time, otherwise, I am afraid that our Northern Huns will be in trouble forever.

There is no day of peace.”

"Then where is the way out for the Northern Huns?" Mao Ling's heart felt cold, and his eyes seemed to have lost their luster.

"The West." Dilian said firmly.

"If you can't go now, it doesn't mean you can't go in the future. Changshengtian will not abandon us. There are Han people in the east and there is no place for us, but there is in the west."

"Although the two empires of Rome and Parthia are powerful, they also have many hidden dangers. What we have to do now is to continue to lie dormant, conserve our strength to survive, and wait for the opportunity to come. This is our only chance of survival for the Northern Huns."

The Han people of this era were not corrupted by Confucianism and aristocratic families that gradually deteriorated later. They were still full of blood. There is no so-called repaying evil with kindness, but serious revenge for ten generations.

It would be fine if the Northern Xiongnu did not appear in the Western Regions. Once they appear, they will be greeted by the Han people's crazy revenge, not the small temptation in front of them.

Dilian knew this very well, so he understood that they would never get ahead in the east. The Han people could not tolerate them. Once they began to expand and showed signs of rising, the Han people would kill them regardless of life and death and kill the hope of the rise of the Northern Huns again.

Yu Mingya. Only by fleeing to the west can the Northern Huns have the possibility of rising again.

"When we go to the West, will we still be us?" Mao Ling said with a bitter smile.

Although he has always been a representative of the anti-war faction and is regarded as a coward by many tribesmen, in fact, he is as bloody as anyone else.

"We have resisted for long enough. We have resisted all the way from the royal court and been hunted down for hundreds of years to get here. It's really enough."

He clenched his hands tightly and let the sharp nails pierce his palms. Dilian's heart was filled with blood and tears.

"As a Chanyu, I must lead my people to survive. I can no longer watch them die for that impossible result!" Dilian growled in pain.

The law of the jungle is an eternal truth. The Northern Huns, who grew up on the grasslands since childhood, understood this truth very thoroughly.

The Han people are too strong, so strong that there is no hope at all. No matter how much they are oppressed, the Han people will never perish. On the contrary, they will become stronger.

Although he was far to the west of Kangju, Dilian was still paying attention to the situation of the Han people. Shanyue, Nanman, Xiqiang, and Northern Sanhu all fell to the hands of the Han one by one, and they were unable to fight back. Gongsun Zan beat him

The Northern Three Hus were almost extinct. You must know that the combined power of the Northern Three Hus at that time was no worse than that of the Huns at their peak, and their combat strength was at least 60-70%. But even in this way, they were no match for the control of a mere state.

Gongsun Zan. How can this not make people feel despair?

Survival or destruction, avoidance or resistance, Dilian had to choose the former.

"I understand." Mao Ling sighed softly. His originally upright figure became slightly stooped, as if his spine had been ripped off in an instant.

"When a person dies, there is nothing. I want to lead my people to live, to live..." Sitting on Shanyu's throne in despair, Dilian's eyes were empty and he kept mumbling.

Seeing Di Lian's appearance, Mao Ling couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart. Perhaps the most painful thing among the clan members was the clan leader in front of him. He was burdened with too much.

He turned around and left slowly. When he opened the tent door, Mao Ling paused slightly and said, "Chanyu, your choice is not wrong. Also, if possible, after you lead the clansmen away, please allow me and some clansmen to leave."

Self-exile, we want to return to the royal court for a visit."
