Showing Prestige in Foreign Lands

Su Wu sighed: "I wish I could meet Marquis Yunyang..."

Hearing this, Chang Hui said, "There is one more thing, so that Duke Su can know that someone is able to know about Duke Su this time... It is actually the contribution of Marquis Yunyang!"

Then Chang Hui sent Zhang Yue to Zhang Kun and asked him to take back Su Wu in detail.

After Su Wu heard this, he straightened his clothes and bowed in the direction of Luntai City in the Western Region, but did not speak.

Chang Hui stopped talking about the matter and asked Su Wu about the Huns.

Although Su Wu was exiled to Beihai in recent years, the news was far from being blocked.

Li Ling would visit him every once in a while.

I also have some understanding of the general situation of the Xiongnu.

Since Chang Hui asked, he told Chang Hui everything he knew.

"So the right wing of the Xiongnu has moved westward!"

Only then did Chang Hui learn about the Xiongnu's westward migration from Su Wu.

Su Wudao said, "This is what Li Ling said, there must be no truth!"

Chang Hui nodded, having a new judgment about the Huns in his heart.

"Thank you, Mr. Su, for your advice... Mr. Su, please rest early. You will be of great use to Mr. Su when you return to Chang'an..."

…

Early the next morning, Hu Yantai Shanyu sent someone to invite Chang Hui to the king's tent.

"Now that I, Qiang Hu, have returned Su Wu as promised, when can the envoy swear an alliance with me, Qiang Hu?"

Chang Hui and others had just entered the king's tent and had not sat down yet when Hu Yantuan Shanyu got straight to the point.

Chang Hui did not answer immediately after hearing this, but instead used a knife to eat the mutton in front of him.

"Does the messenger want to regret it?" Xiongnu Zuo Da Dang guarded him, playing with his sword in his hand and showing a ferocious look on his face.

After Chang Hui finished eating the mutton in his hand, he said slowly, "When has a big man ever broken his promise?"

When King Zuo Xian heard this, he thought of the Mayi conspiracy decades ago.

But in an instant, he suppressed his desire to refute.

King Zuo Xian raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a playful look on his face, "In that case, why didn't the envoy say a word?"

Chang Hui smiled and said, "Food is the most important thing for people. If you are hungry, you naturally need to fill your stomach first!"

King Youxian looked thoughtful when he heard this.

King Zuo Xian did not think too much and continued to ask, "Is the envoy full now?"

Chang Hui cut off another small piece of meat and said, "It's far from satisfactory!"

King Zuo Xian wanted to continue speaking, but was interrupted by Wei Lu.

"In this case, please keep the envoy as promised!"

Chang Hui stared at Wei Lu and said after a while, "This is natural!"

After some deliberations between the two sides, three days later, representatives of the Han and Hungarian sides formally swore to reach a peace agreement in Madame Fan City.

After the peace agreement was reached, Chang Hui quickly returned to the Han Dynasty with Su Wu and others.

The Huns began to secretly mobilize their troops to the east in order to attack the Xianbei Mountains.

…

Guishang City was decorated with lights and colors everywhere, and thirty thousand Kushan troops had gathered outside the east of the city, waiting for the review of their king, Qiu Jique.

At this time, a huge viewing platform has been built on the east gate wall of Kushan City.

The envoys from various countries who were invited to attend the ceremony have also taken their seats in the viewing area.

It is said that Qiu Jie invited a total of twenty-seven countries to participate in this grand review.

He even sent invitations to Anxi and Kangju.

In addition to the Han Dynasty, there were twenty-three countries that actually participated. Only the envoys of Kangju, Jibin, and Daxia (Southern) did not participate.

The fact that these three countries did not participate was actually expected by the Kushan people.

The Kangju people did not participate, firstly because of the distance, and secondly because they were not clear about the attitude of the Han Dynasty towards the newly established Kushan Kingdom.

As for Jibin and Daxia, they have feuds with the Kushans. At the beginning of the year, the two countries even had a war with the Kushans.

Especially this land of Guishang was originally the land of Daxia. After Guishan established the country, Daxia is now uneasy.

As for the Jibin Kingdom, they just fought a war with the Kushans a few months ago, and are now contacting Daxia to prepare for a joint fight against the Kushans.

"Mr. Yang, please!"

Solange came with a smile on his face and invited Yang You and his entourage to the viewing platform.

As the envoy of the Han Dynasty, the most powerful country in the world, Yang You naturally received the highest treatment.

Yang You was not polite and was the first to climb onto the high platform built in advance.

Wu Zhengze followed closely behind and was the second to ascend the high platform.

Instead, Solange followed the two of them like a little follower.

The envoys from various countries did not take it seriously when they saw this, and even Qiu Jüque and Solangelai themselves thought this was a matter of course.

…

As Yang You and others boarded the viewing platform, the shouts of Kushan soldiers could be heard outside the city.

"What do you think of the Kushan army, Lord Wu?"

Wu Zheng said with a serious expression, "You can afford to be trained!"

Yang You nodded when he heard this, "If you lead the army, how many soldiers will it take to defeat it?"

Wu Zheng shook his head when he heard this and said, "We need to observe it more carefully!"

Yang You didn't say anything after hearing this, but also turned his attention to the Kushan army below the city.

This Kushan army was much stronger than he originally expected.

The Kushan Ministry had not organized a decent military parade originally.

Therefore, Solange, who was responsible for organizing the military parade this time, simply copied the military parade procedures of the Luntai Han Army.

According to the plan, this military parade will first have Qiu Jiuche test the troops, then conduct a separate performance, and finally there will be a competition between Wu Zheng and Namakaruso.

As a burst of exotic music played.

Qiu Jiu first rode on horseback to inspect the Kushan phalanxes under the city.

These troops are the elite of the Kushan army and are the foundation for the Kushan country to be established.

These soldiers also have noble status and can be called an army of nobles.

Everywhere Qiu Jiuque went, the soldiers shouted Qiu Jiuque's name.

It can be seen that Qiu Jiumue himself still has quite a military spirit.

Qiu Juque was quite proud of himself at this time. After he inherited the position of Guishang Xihou, within a few years, he surpassed the previous Xihous and established the Guishang Kingdom.

The surrounding countries and tribes were all defeated by him one by one. In his own opinion, he also deserves to be called a hero.

Looking at the high-spirited Qiu Jiuke, two of the envoys showed bitterness on their faces.

One of these two people is an envoy from Xiu Xunguo, and the other is naturally the Marquis of Xiu Mi.

As soon as the two arrived in Guishang City, they were told about the bet between Qiu Jiuque and the Han envoy.

I'm afraid no one would be happy being treated as a bet.

Although the two of them were angry when they learned about this, they were helpless. This is the tragedy of being a small country.

The two looked at each other with bitterness on their faces.

At this time, Yang You also noticed Xiu Mihou and Xiu Xunguo's envoy.

He turned to Solange and asked, "Are these two people who keep secrets?"

Solange smiled and said, "The one wearing leather armor is none other than Marquis Xiumi, and the person next to him is the envoy of Xiuxun, but why I forgot his name..."

Yang You nodded when he heard this, and then said to a follower beside him, "Go and call those two people!"

"promise"

The attendant agreed and immediately walked towards the viewing platform for the envoys from various countries.

Solange originally wanted to stop it, but gave up after hesitating for a moment.
