Chapter 182 Want to join forces with Wusun

Some thoughtful people also began to silently calculate in their hearts how to gain benefits from it.

For example, the strong man was thinking in his mind to reunite with his old friends and go to the north for a trip.

In fact, similar scenes are constantly being staged not only in Yuanqu City, but also in other places.

With the issuance of Luntai's new decree, the Huns south of the Tianshan Mountains were completely ruined.

In just half a month, thousands of people were attacked and killed, and all the Huns' pastures south of the Tianshan Mountains were plundered.

By the time King Sun Chaser and King Ott reacted, it was too late.

In order to obtain enough stallions, Zhang Yue would do anything he could.

But even so, the number of required stallions was still missing by half.

"I intend to go to Wusun and my party. What do you think?"

At a new military meeting, Zhang Yue proposed to go to Wusun.

"No!"

When Yang You heard this, he was the first to stand up and object.

"The prince is the general and leader of the Western Regions, and he must not take any personal risks!"

Pan Hong also expressed opposition.

"A prince must never put himself in danger..."

No one here supports Zhang Yue's journey to Wusun.

It is natural for everyone to react this way. Zhang Yue is now the representative of the Han Dynasty in the Western Regions.

He is the commander-in-chief of the Han army in the Western Regions. Once something happens to him, it is likely to shake the rule of the Han Dynasty in the entire Western Regions.

Looking at the entire Western Regions, Zhang Yue is the only one who can integrate the Han armies in the Western Regions.

Zhang Yue did not expect that the idea of ​​going to Wusun would be unanimously opposed by the entire army just after he proposed it.

After thinking for a moment, he already understood the crux of the matter.

My decision was indeed too hasty.

This is not two thousand years from now. In this era, for any force, the safety of the leader is a top priority.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yue followed Shan Ruliu's advice, "In this case, are there any of you who would like to join Wusun?"

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other. At this time, Cai Ting stood up on his own initiative and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to go to Wusun..."

Zhang Yue nodded with satisfaction. It was indeed a good choice for Cai Ting to represent himself and Wusun as the Han Dynasty envoy.

Cai Ting was born as a merchant and is good at dancing. He is suitable for this kind of job of dealing with people.

"Your Majesty, I wonder what the first priority is for this mission to Wusun?"

Seeing Zhang Yue's expression, Cai Ting knew that he would be the envoy to Wusun this time.

Zhang Yue said, "There are three things that are the top priority on this mission to Wusun."

Zhang Yue looked solemn and continued, "The first is to prevent Wusun from falling to the Huns!"

"Second, get a stallion..."

"Third, pay a visit to Lord Chu... support Lord Chu's actions in Wusun."

The Lord of Chu mentioned by Zhang Yue is the famous Princess Jieyou in history.

Princess Jieyou's grandfather, Liu Wu, was once the dominant king of Chu.

In the spring of the third year of Emperor Jing's reign, Liu Wu raised an army to participate in the "Seven Kingdoms Rebellion" between the kings of the same surname. He was defeated and died, and his family became a sinner.

From then on, Princess Jieyou and her family suffered from long-term suspicion and rejection, and fell into irreversible suffering.

In the fourth year of Jianyuan (139 BC), Zhang Qian sent an envoy to the Dayue clan in the Western Regions, intending to form an alliance with the Dayue clan to attack the Xiongnu, but returned without success.

The emperor then launched a war against the Xiongnu and launched the Battle of Mayi in the second year of Yuanguang (133 BC).

After occupying Hetao, they launched the Battle of Hexi. The Han army won successively. In the fourth year of Yuanshou (119 BC), "Jincheng (Lanzhou)", Hexi west and Nanshan to Yanze (today's Lop Nur) were empty of Xiongnu.

”.

In the same year, Zhang Qian believed that uniting with the Wusun Kingdom could help him succeed the Xiongnu, so he suggested to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to win over the Wusun Kingdom.

Three years later, Zhang Qian was ordered by the emperor to suggest to Wusun that he should return to his hometown in Dunhuang and Qilian County so that he could fight with the Han Dynasty against the Xiongnu.

At that time, the country of Wusun was divided. Prince Qian had passed away, and Kunmo Liejiaomi of Wusun agreed to his request to make his son Cen Zuo (titled, named Junxumi) the prince, which aroused dissatisfaction with the prince's younger brother Dalu.

Dalu had military power and planned to raise troops to kill Jun Xumi.

In order to protect Xu Mi, Liejiaomi gave him more than ten thousand cavalry to support himself elsewhere. Liejiaomi himself commanded more than ten thousand cavalry to protect himself, and was unable to directly control all the troops in the country.

He met with Zhang Qian, but did not agree to Zhang Qian's request for an alliance with the Han.

Liejiaomi believed that "the old country is divided and cannot be autocratic", and because the ministers did not understand the power of the Han Dynasty and were afraid of the Huns, Wusun could not move back to his hometown.

Liejiaomi sent dozens of envoys to follow Zhang Qian. The envoys saw the strength of the Han Dynasty, which prompted Wusun to consider forming an alliance with the Han.

The Xiongnu Chanyu learned that Wusun had established contact with the Han Dynasty and attempted to attack Wusun.

Liejiaomi understood that the Western Han Dynasty was actively establishing diplomatic relations with various countries in the Western Regions, so he requested a marriage alliance with the Han Dynasty to seek support.

So in the third year of Yuanfeng (108 BC), the emperor married Princess Xijun, the daughter of Liu Jian of the clan, to Lie Jiaomi.

But Princess Xijun died of illness in the 6th year of Yuanfeng (105 BC).

At this time, the emperor intended to choose another daughter from the clan as the princess to continue the marriage with Wusun.

But none of the clans wanted to marry their daughters to Wusun, who was thousands of miles away.

At this time, Lord Chu, who was still being detained as a criminal, stood up.

The emperor was overjoyed and not only pardoned the Chu king and his family for their crimes, but also named her Princess Jieyou.

It was under this circumstance that Princess Jieyou took the place of Princess Xijun to consolidate the relationship between the two parties and married Wusun away from home.

Jun Xumi died, and his younger brother Weng Guimi (Fat King) became Kunmo and married Princess Jieyou.

At this time, Princess Jieyou and Wusun Kunmi had already given birth to a son, Yuan Guimi.

If history does not change, Yuan Guimi will be the next Wusun Kunmo.

However, according to the information from Qian Niuwei, Princess Jieyou's current situation is not very good.

When Weng Guimi succeeded to the throne as Kunmo, in addition to getting to know the princess, he also took a Hun princess as his wife.

The status of the Xiongnu princess in Wusun is still higher than that of Princess Jieyou.

The Xiongnu princess also had two sons, named Nimi and Wujiitu, who were born to Junxumi and Wengguimi respectively.

In Wusun country, both of them are far more loved than Yuan Guimi.

Wusun's country is divided into small and large Kunmo, and Nimi is Wusun's small Kunmo.

Zhang Yue described Wusun's situation to everyone in detail.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Before that, no one thought that the situation in Wusun would be so complicated.

Cai Ting also understood that his trip might not be that easy.

Therefore, I began to think carefully about how to complete the three tasks given by Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yue looked at Cai Ting's performance and felt quite satisfied.

At this time, he continued, "There is no need to worry, Mr. Cai. When Mr. Cai goes to Wusun, someone will personally lead three thousand elite cavalry to support you..."

When Pan Hong heard Zhang Yue's words, he praised from the sidelines, "Suppress him with force and convince him with words. The king is good at planning!"

Zhang Yue just smiled slightly when he heard this.

At this time, Han Jiang also stood up, "Your Majesty, why don't you let me go to Pulei to play with King Outet..."

"Pupae?"

After Zhang Yue thought and weighed it up, he shook his head and said, "The European and Brexit Department will leave it alone for now, but there is still another place we can go to?"

"Where!" Guo Kai and Han Jiang asked almost simultaneously.

Zhang Yue laughed and pointed to a place.

"Would you like to take a trip to this place?"

Everyone laughed when they saw it, "It turns out this is here..."
