Viewing Han as Father
After Zhang Yue finished handling the affairs of Dayuan Kingdom, he formally received Mrs. Feng and his entourage sent by Princess Jianyou for help.
"My servant pays homage to Marquis Yunyang!"
Although Mrs. Feng is a close confidant of Princess Jieyou and enjoys a noble status in the Wusun Kingdom, she is still a slave in the Han Dynasty.
However, Zhang Yue would not underestimate her because of this. Mrs. Feng was also a legendary woman in history.
Her contribution to maintaining the relationship between Han Dynasty and Wusun is no less than that of Princess Jieyou.
"Madam, please get up!"
"Everyone, please take a seat!"
"Thank you, Lord!"
After everyone sat down, Zhang Yue said, "I wonder what important business Madam has here?"
Mrs. Feng smiled slightly and said, "Now Wusun is in danger, and I have been entrusted by the princess and Kunmo to ask for help..."
Zhang Yue said, "Wusun is a big country with hundreds of thousands of people who can control strings. How could it..."
At this time, Wusun Jihou Aleyu, who came with Mrs. Feng, said, "You don't know something, but that Nimi kid has betrayed me, Wusun..."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yue pretended to be surprised and asked Yang You, "Yang You, why didn't your Qianniu Guards report such an important matter?"
Yang You said cooperatively, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, Wusun is an ally of the Han Dynasty... Qianniu Guard did not take action in Wusun..."
Regardless of whether the Wusun people believed it or not, Yang You and Zhang Yue said they believed it.
Mrs. Feng stood aside but smiled and said nothing.
Zhang Yue sighed and said, "I never thought that Wusun would suffer such a change..."
Alyure stood up and bowed, "I hope the big man will send troops quickly..."
Zhang Yue smiled and said, "Messenger, there is no need to worry. The Han Dynasty is Wusun's staunchest ally. After the Han army has rested and reorganized, it will send troops to support Wusun..."
Ale Yura looked doubtful, "I wonder when the Han army will be able to rest and regroup?"
Zhang Yue turned around and asked Yang You, "How long will it take for Yang You's army to regain its fighting strength?"
Yang You understood and said, "Your Majesty, our army has just fought hard with the Kangju people for half a year. It will take at least three months to regain its fighting strength!"
"What three months..." Ale Yura jumped up when he heard this.
"In three months, Wusun may have been completely driven out of the Land of Seven Rivers by the Xiongnu!"
Zhang Yue said in surprise, "Even if Ni Mi surrenders, Wusundang still has no less than 60,000 riders... How can they be easily expelled by the Huns?"
Aleyu'er blushed and said, "Although we, Wusun, have a large number of people, we have not been in battle for a long time... we are not the enemy of the Huns..."
Zhang Yue sighed and said, "Young friend Yang, maybe you can send troops in advance?"
Yang You said, "I'm afraid that sending troops early will make the soldiers complain..."
Ale Yura heard this and said, "Kun Mo has something to say. As long as the Han is willing to send troops in advance, Wusun can share the land of Seven Rivers with the Han..."
What Zhang Yue was waiting for was the Wusun people's words.
Hearing this, he stopped pretending and asked directly, "Can this be taken seriously?"
Aleyure gritted his teeth and said, "As long as the Han army can help Wusun repel the Xiongnu, Wusun is willing to share the land of Seven Rivers with the Han..."
After some discussions, the two sides finally decided on the time for the Han army to send troops.
Then Zhang Yue Zhang Yue summoned the generals from all countries to the camp to discuss matters.
At the military meeting, Zhang Yue asked all countries and the Han to jointly send troops to assist Wusun.
"Do the countries have any objections?" Zhang Yue asked the generals of the countries after making the proposal.
Yuchijia and Yuchicheng of Khotan were the first to stand up and said, "In Khotan, only the great Han people obey!"
Yuan Zheng, the right general of Kucha, also stood up and said, "The soldiers of Kucha are the soldiers of the Han..."
After the two countries expressed their stance, other countries also expressed their support for the Han Dynasty.
Although the two kings of Yancai and Yanguo felt unwilling to do so, they did not dare to object under the watchful eye of the commander-in-chief, so they had to agree with a forced smile.
"In this case, gentlemen, please organize your troops and horses... Send troops to attack Hu in fifteen days..."
…
After Weng Guimi received the news that the Han army was preparing to send troops, he was not happy at all.
"What's wrong with Kunmo?" Aleyure asked.
Weng Guimi sighed and shook his head, "After this battle, Wusun may become a vassal of the Han..."
Ale Yura was silent after hearing this, and after a while he said, "Does Kunmo think Wusun can really maintain independence between the Han and the Huns?"
At this time, Ale Yura was completely different from what he was in front of Zhang Yue. He looked like a wise man.
Weng Guimi looked at Aleyure in surprise. He thought for a moment and said, "What do Aleyure think?"
Ale Yura said, "If Wusun wants to be independent from the Xiongnu and the Han, it must have the power to compete with the two... However, since my Wusun was divided into small and large Kunmo..."
After hearing this, Weng Guimi said thoughtfully, "If Wusun moves westward, can he avoid the Han and the Xiongnu?"
Ale Yura said, "Kunmo knows the agreement between Han, Kangju and Dawan?"
Weng Guimi nodded and said, "You mean, the Han Dynasty is already preparing for the Western Expedition?"
Al Yura said, "Kunmo Yingming!"
Weng Guimi smiled bitterly, "If I were really wise, how could I be deceived by Ni Mi... Putting my Wusun into a desperate situation..."
Al Yura said, "It's not too late for the Han people to make up for the situation. From what I can see, Wu Sun regards Han as his father, which is actually the best choice today..."
Weng Guimi didn't say anything when he heard this, but he acquiesced in his statement in his heart.
…
On the second day of May in the first year of the First Yuan Dynasty, the King of Dayuan embarked on the road back home with about 13,000 soldiers released by the Han army.
In order to ensure the true implementation of the "Han-Wan Agreement", Zhang Yue not only returned the weapons and equipment of the Dawan soldiers, but also provided the King of Dawan with enough food, grass and cold-warming clothing.
This time Pan Hong, Ma Han and others also led two thousand Han troops to cross the Pamir Plateau with the King of Dayuan to the Kingdom of Dayuan.
The two tasks of Pan Hong and Ma Han were to take over Ershi City and to accept the compensation from Dawan and Kangju.
In fact, before the two set off, Zhang Yue had been hesitant about who would be in charge of Ershi City.
This was not because he doubted the abilities of the two men, but because as the scope of control of the Western Region Protectorate continued to expand, Zhang Yue had clearly felt the shortage of talents, especially senior talents who could take charge of one side.
As the financial manager of the Western Regions Protectorate, Pan Hong was very important to Luntai and the Western Regions.
If he leaves for Ershi City, Luntai will be short of someone in charge of finance.
The same is true for Ma Han. Although Ma Han is not as good as Guo Kai, Han Jiang is also a rare general in the Western Region who can stand alone.
After he went to Ershi City, Zhang Yue also had difficulty finding a suitable person to take his place.
After much consideration, Zhang Yue finally decided to hand over the management of Ershi City to the two men for the future development of the Western Regions.
As for the lack of talents in the Western Regions, Zhang Yue decided to return to Chang'an after finishing this battle.
Most of the former officials of the Second Division were idle at home after Li Guangli's death.
Most of the officials of the Second Division Department came from the expedition to Dawan, so they are more or less familiar with the Western Regions. Perhaps some talents can be discovered among them.
"Pan Gong, the city of Magong's Second Division is entrusted to you two!"
Outside Shule City, Zhang Yue, Zhao Guanghan, Liu Yi, Zhang Zhan and others were bidding farewell to Pan Hong, Ma Han and his party.
"Do you have anything to tell me?" Pan Hong asked.
