The first thousand three hundred and twenty-two chapters Wusun negotiated
Chapter 1322 Wusun Internal Discussion
Zhang Mo returned within a day, compiled the collected information into paper intelligence, and sent it to Zhao Yun for review.
Although Bai Zhen is the king of Qiuci, he only has three wives and concubines, and has two sons and one daughter. However, the eldest son is only thirteen years old. In addition, he also has an uncle, two brothers, and a sister.
Together with the direct line and side branches, there were a total of nineteen children. Zhao Yun took a look and directly chose Bai Qing, a cousin of Uncle Bai Zhen's lineage, who was the most unlucky and mediocre among them.
Bai Qing was only thirty years old, but his civil and military skills were mediocre. He relied on the Qiuchi royal family and worked as a secretary in the government office. Although he was mediocre, he had a kind heart and could understand the sufferings of the people.
This also caused him to live in poverty. If it were not for the money distributed by the royal family every month, he might have gone hungry.
"It's him."
After many choices, Zhao Yun had no choice, so he immediately made up his mind and prepared to support Bai Qing to ascend to the throne and become the new King of Kucha.
I believe that with him as king, Kucha will not get worse after he leaves, and it can be considered that the country can be stabilized.
"Zhang Mo, please bring King Qiuci over immediately. I want to talk to him."
Now that the candidate has been selected, Zhao Yun has nothing to say and directly asks Zhang Mo to bring King Baizhen of Kuci over to discuss matters.
"promise."
Zhang Mo cupped his fists and went down directly to bring Bai Zhen in front of Zhao Yun.
"Khotan's young king Bai Zhen pays homage to the Chinese general."
Bai Zhen saluted Zhao Yun directly.
"Bai Zhen, you also know the situation in Kucha. It is obviously no longer suitable for you to be here now. I am going to suggest to Your Majesty that you be moved to the mainland. At least you can keep your wealth. What do you think?"
Zhao Yun had nothing to say and directly confided his thoughts to Bai Zhen.
"General, Bai Zhen asked himself that I have never done anything detrimental to China, and I have always guarded the land of Kucha and have no nationality. Why do you treat me like this?"
Bai Zhen's eyes were full of anger when he heard Zhao Yun's words. To be honest, although he defected to Wusun in the meantime, he had never done anything to harm the big man, that is, Huaxia. Now that Zhao Yun is going to dethrone him as the King of Qiuci, it really makes him sad.
He was a little at a loss.
"This is the general trend. If you don't agree, you will have no choice but to wear the title of King of Kucha as a thing of the past."
Hearing what Bai Zhen said, Zhao Yun had nothing to say. If you don't agree to become a rich man, then you can only die with the title of King of Qiuci.
"Hey, how can I know who the new King of Kucha is?
But he is still my son?"
Zhao Yun said it so clearly, and Bai Zhen also knew that everything was useless. If he disobeyed the military order and abdicated the throne, what awaited him might be a merciless butcher's knife, and even his wife, children, and children might not be spared.
.
"The new King of Kucha is still a member of your Bai family, but he is not your heir. The person I chose is Bai Qing."
Looking at Bai Zhen, Zhao Yun knew that he had accepted his fate, so he directly named the new King of Qiuci he had chosen.
"Bai Qing, Bai Qing, I didn't expect it to be him. No matter what, Bai Qing may not be a virtuous person, but he has a heart to love the people, and he will never hurt the people of Qiuci."
Hearing that Zhao Yun chose Bai Qing, his cousin, Bai Zhen had nothing to say. He also had an impression of this man. He was charitable and loved the people like a son. If he became the new King of Qiuci, he would be regarded as Qiuci.
A blessing.
"Okay, you go back and declare your Zen position tomorrow. Then you can get ready and head to the mainland of China."
Zhao Yun nodded. It would be best if Bai Zhen could understand the current affairs and save himself from killing more people.
"Okay, I will announce my abdication of the throne to Bai Qing tomorrow. I also hope that the general can treat my people of Kucha kindly and not start a big war."
Bai Zhen saluted Zhao Yun again, and then left with a dejected look.
"General, will he leave willingly?"
Zhang Mo glanced at Bai Zhen's leaving figure, his eyes full of worry. After all, for him to change from a king to a rich man, he still had to leave his hometown and travel thousands of miles to China. If it were him, he would never be willing to do so.
"In the face of absolute strength, any unwillingness will be choked. After all, compared to the royal power and wealth, your own life is still more precious. Don't be afraid, just protect Bai Qing."
Zhao Yun shook his head. No matter how much Bai Zhen shouldn't and how he didn't want to, he still had to hold it in, otherwise, the title of King of Qiuci would really become a passing thing.
"I see."
Zhang Mo nodded, yes, there is indeed nothing comparable to life.
The next day, Bai Zhen, witnessed by Zhao Yun and Qiuci Wenwu, officially announced that he was no longer suitable to serve as King of Qiuci due to physical reasons, so he gave up the title of King of Qiuci to his cousin Bai Qing.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yun also formally canonized Bai Qing as the King of Kucha on behalf of the Huaxia Empire, and Bai Qing also accepted the canonization of Huaxia and declared that Kucha was a vassal state of the Huaxia Empire and would never betray him forever.
After everything was settled, King Baizhen of Qiuci took all members of his direct lineage and all his direct lineage ministers civil and military to the mainland of China.
After Bai Qing became King of Kucha, he also promoted those officials and generals he thought were suitable and expanded them into those vacant positions, which also ensured the normal operation of Kucha Kingdom.
After capturing Qiuci without any bloodshed, Zhao Yun's army temporarily rested here, waiting for news from Wusun.
Kun Jiuli went all the way north, not daring to stop and run towards the Wusun Grassland. He had no idea that Zhao Feng was following behind him, and that Zhao Feng was also followed by nearly 100,000 cavalry, nearly a hundred miles apart, and they were also slowly heading north.
"Your Majesty, Kun Jiuli is back."
Kun Jiuli finally returned to the royal court.
"came back?
Let him come to see me immediately."
When Kunchi heard that Kunjiuli was back, he was also excited and immediately asked Kunjiuli to come see him.
"Your Majesty."
Kun Jiuli came to Kunchi and saluted him directly.
"Stop talking nonsense, what do the Chinese say?"
Kunchi glanced at Kun Jiuli. He was not polite but he wanted to know what the attitude of the Chinese people was.
"What the Chinese people mean is that if Wusun wants to submit to China again and become a vassal state of China, there is a condition that it must send 30,000 troops to accompany China in its western expedition."
Kun Jiuli squinted at Kunchi and directly told the news he had received.
"How many troops do they have?"
Hearing that the Chinese wanted to send troops by themselves, Kunchi was also stunned. What was going on?
"They have at least 200,000 soldiers and horses, including about 100,000 cavalry alone."
Kun Jiuli directly told the number of Huaxia's soldiers and horses. It was at least more than 200,000, including about 100,000 cavalry alone, which was definitely not something Wusun could resist.
"Then why does he still want Wusun to send troops?
If these soldiers and horses conquer the Western Region, then it will be a success."
I heard that the opponent has more than 200,000 people and more than 100,000 cavalry, so why the hell do you want to send troops yourself? What kind of weird thinking.
"China's goal is not just the Western Regions, their real goal is the Great Yueshi. They want to defeat the Great Yueshi."
Kun Jiuli revealed China's real goal. Their goal was not just a small Western Region, but the Kushan Empire to the west of the Western Region.
"What did you say?
Are they going to fight Da Yueshi?"
Kunchi stood up directly, his eyes full of surprise. Da Yuezhi was a great empire alongside Huaxia's predecessor, the Eastern Han Dynasty. He didn't expect that Huaxia had just replaced the Eastern Han Dynasty and would go to war against Da Yuezhi. This was too much.
It's scary.
"It's true, that's what the Chinese generals said, but I feel that 80% of the Chinese think so, otherwise they wouldn't be able to send so many troops to the Western Regions, and the other party only gave me fifteen days, and they won't accept it after that.
We have decided, so I hope you will make a quick decision."
Kun Jiuli nodded directly to Kunchi. He didn't think Zhao Yun would lie to him, and with so many troops coming, they definitely weren't coming to the Western Regions.
"Call everyone here immediately to discuss the matter."
Now that Kun Jiuli said so, Kunchi has nothing to say. Now is the time to decide Wusun's fate.
The Wusun tribe is not far apart, like a radiation circle, spreading outward from the royal court. All the people who should come in one day gather in his royal court.
"Okay, everything that should come has arrived. Now China has accepted the idea of us becoming its slave country, but the premise is that we must send at least 30,000 troops to assist in the conquest of Da Yuezhi. If they do not agree to send troops, they will send troops north
Attack us."
Kunchi glanced at the people in front of him and directly told the situation that Kun Jiuli had brought.
"China is going to go to war with the Yuezhi, isn't it?"
Kunchi's general, Ta Mu Zheng, was stunned when he heard the news. It was so exciting that these two empires were going to collide.
"I hope not, but this is the situation now, but I can't help but not believe it. After all, the opponent has an army of more than 200,000, and the cavalry alone has hundreds of thousands, so I am calling you here now to see what you are doing.
Opinion,"
Kunchi couldn't help but shook his head. He also hoped that this was false news, but as Kun Jiuli said, if the other party was not serious, they would definitely not send so many troops into the Western Regions.
"Your Majesty, our Wusun country has a small population. Once we are involved in a war between the two empires, it will be okay if China wins. If they lose, we who send troops to help the other side will definitely become a thorn in the eyes of the Yuezhi.
Sun may really be doomed, so I suggest you wait and see what happens, or at worst, lead the tribe to move north."
Buerche glanced at Kunchi and directly expressed his worries. Although Wusun was very powerful in the Western Region, if they were to compare with Da Yuezhi and Huaxia, they would really be nothing. If both sides were involved,
In a battle, one careless move will result in your body being shattered into pieces.
"Your Majesty, although what Buerche said is reasonable, how should we face China?
The migration speed of the tribe is definitely not as fast as that of the other side. Once caught up by the other side, Wusun will never be able to resist it.
Moreover, when two empires are at war, the surrounding countries will be affected whether they like it or not. Even if we retreat to the north, we may not be able to avoid it.
Rather than being like this, it is better to identify one party now, go to it, and then go all out to help the other party. In this way, once you win, the benefits will be beyond imagination."
