Chapter nine hundred and twenty fifth temptation
Under the push and shouts of the two aggressive Northern Huns warriors, the Kushan envoy who pretended to be calm walked into the tent with unhurried steps.
Inside the tent, Di Lian, Mao Ling and other Northern Huns commanders were having a banquet and celebrating, paying no attention to the Kushan envoy's intentions.
Taking a deep breath, with a calm look on his face, the Kushan envoy walked to the middle of the tent, saluted loudly in the eyes of everyone who either ignored or ridiculed him: "Kishuan envoy, on the order of my king, pays homage to the Shanyu of the Northern Huns.
grown ups."
Dilian, who was gnawing on the leg of lamb, heard the sound and continued to deal with the delicious food in his hands as if he hadn't heard it.
The Kushan envoy was able to keep his composure and just stood there quietly, showing no signs of embarrassment on the surface.
After a while, after swallowing the last bite of mutton, Dilian rubbed his oily hands on the tiger skin-covered armrest and said calmly: "Tell me, what's the matter."
"I came here specifically to eliminate the misunderstanding between the two countries and relieve the scourge of war between the two countries."
"Oh? You want me to stop fighting?"
"That's true."
Dilian smiled softly: "This matter is simple. Just use this place as the boundary. All the land north of this place belongs to the Northern Huns. I will stop the army immediately."
"The Chanyu is joking." The Kushan envoy said with a slightly tough tone: "The land that the Chanyu mentioned occupies nearly one-third of the territory of the northern part of my Kushan. It is impossible for my Kushan to give up such a large area.
Besides, in such a big place, with the current situation of the Huns in the north, can they eat it?"
"Bold!" Upon hearing this, everyone around them stood up angrily and shouted. Many people directly pulled out the weapons at their waists, with strong intentions of taking action.
"What? Is what I said wrong?" Although the Kushan envoy was slightly panicked, he still managed to say.
Dilian waved his hand casually, asking everyone to step back, and looked at the Kushan envoy with admiration: "You are very good."
"Thank you Shanyu for your praise." The Kushan envoy thought that he had overcome the difficulty and breathed a sigh of relief.
"What I, the Northern Huns, respect the most are warriors who are not afraid of life and death. Come, let's serve the wine." Di Lian laughed loudly.
After saying this, the guards beside him poured two bowls of wine, one bowl was presented to Shanyu with both hands, and the other bowl was handed to the Kushan envoy.
"Please." Dilian offered a toast, then raised his head and drained the wine.
Naturally, the Kushan envoy did not dare to refuse. He held the bowl in both hands and raised his head to finish the meal.
"Okay." Dilian laughed loudly and put down the wine bowl.
"Come here." The smile on his face suddenly stopped and turned into indifference: "Send this warrior on his way."
"Yes." After hearing this, the two guards entered the tent from outside the tent and held the Kushan envoy from both sides.
"Chanyu, what do you mean?" the Kushan envoy asked in astonishment.
"You are a man, but it's a pity..." Dilian had a hint of regret and pity in his eyes.
"Give him a happy life and bury the whole body. The remaining people will cut off their heads and send them to the King of Kushan."
Upon hearing this, the two guards dragged the Kushan envoy away without hesitation.
"Chanyu, how dare you do this? Do you really want the Northern Xiongnu to be destroyed in one day and burn with my Kushan jade?" The Kushan envoy who was being dragged backwards shouted repeatedly.
Dilian didn't react at all when he heard the sound. He poured himself a bowl of wine again and started drinking by himself with a calm expression.
The dozen or so Northern Huns leaders on both sides were laughing non-stop, their words full of arrogance and contentment.
"I really don't know how to live or die."
"Where do you get the courage to go against our Northern Huns?"
"Chanyu, let us continue to go south and directly attack the capital of Kuishang, and destroy Kushan."
After Dilian finished the last bowl of wine, he suddenly put the wine bowl heavily on the table. Everyone present fell silent and sat upright.
"Tomorrow, we will continue to send troops south to plunder Kushan. It doesn't matter how you attack me, but as I said, try not to confront anyone head-on. Use the smallest cost to achieve the greatest results and plunder the most property. This time, we must let Kuishang know how to provoke me.
Angry at the fate of the Northern Huns!"
"Yes." Everyone roared in unison. The Northern Huns never feared death, and the battlefield was the paradise they longed for most.
After everyone left, Mao Ling still stayed.
"Chanyu, Guishang is really evil! Under such circumstances, you still do such a probing thing." Mao Ling said in a deep voice.
"Vesudeva I is not an easy person to deal with. He is far more terrifying than he appears on the surface. This person is like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark. He is usually silent. Once he seizes the opportunity, he will kill you."
Dilian said with serious eyes.
"After all, our Northern Huns have too little foundation. We are not as big as the Kushan family and cannot withstand the hardships. Vesutiva I has been interested in us for more than a day or two. Once he discovers our weakness, he will definitely bite us.
If we don’t let go, we will be in trouble.”
"So Shanyu, you directly killed the Kushan envoy this time?"
"This is a good opportunity. The Kushan Southern Army is contained, and the current situation does not allow them to choose at all. If we don't take the opportunity to strike, how can we deserve such a good opportunity?"
"It's just a pity. This envoy does have some courage, but after all, he is an enemy rather than a friend." Mao Ling sighed lightly.
"Kuishan sent him here with the obvious intention of letting him die here. I don't know which faction this person is from, but he was treated like this. Such a loyal and upright person was pushed out to die because of party disputes. Guishan has indeed been completely corrupted.
The day of national subjugation is not far away." Dilian's eyes were full of ridicule.
Too many smart people is not a good thing. Most of the Northern Huns were rough people, but because of this, they were not afraid of death and united as one. They were unable to fight back with less than one-tenth of the opponent's national strength.
They are extremely disdainful of these so-called "smart people" who exclude dissidents and destroy their own city walls.
"Chanyu, when do you think the next batch of envoys from Kushan will be sent?"
"Very soon, because this time we will beat them thoroughly and hurt them until they are frightened." Dilian said in a deep voice.
Guishang still dared to test under such circumstances, which completely offended Dilian. He really didn't regard the Northern Huns as human beings. Although there is a huge gap in national power, the innate advantages of the nomads in war are real.
Yes. If Kuishang's insult cannot be repaid with blood, how will the Northern Huns gain a foothold in the world in the future?
"Let the Sirius Cavalry also dispatch this time. But don't force yourself like before, just cooperate with the large forces. Kill the enemy while ensuring low battle losses. After all, we cannot afford to lose."
"I understand. But Chanyu, Qian'an has also strengthened his troops at the border. Do you want to take precautions?"
"No need. Now that Anxi can't protect itself, how can they dare to send troops? Their elites are concentrated in the west to defend Rome. The people on the border are all old, weak, sick and disabled, so there is no need to worry about it. The Han people, on the other hand, must pay more attention to it recently and send more manpower.
