Chapter 673 King Wusun

Outside Yumen Pass, Wusun Camp.

"Kunmi, we can't go on like this."

In King Wusun's tent, all Wusun's ministers were very dissatisfied.

The prerequisite for the alliance between the four major Xihous of the Yuezhi and King Wusun was that the Yuezhi gave up three wealthy countries and large tracts of fine pasture in the Western Region as Wusun's sphere of influence.

Then, the four major Xihous invited Wusun's army to return east together, saying that the royal city was prosperous and they were willing to give half of the wealth to Wusun as bait.

Wusun and the Yueshi originated from the Hexi Corridor together. There is an old grudge between the two parties. Being able to return to their original land has great temptation and political significance for Wusun.

What's more, King Wusun also knew how wealthy Yuezhi's royal city was.

From dozens of countries in the far western regions to Daqin in the east, there are thousands of large and small caravans every year, and this is only one-way.

On this commercial road, there are two extremely wealthy cities, one is the Yuezhi King's City, and the other is the Qin people's Jincheng.

But as the war progressed, things became complicated.

Within the Yuezhi, there have been divisions over the years. A large number of nobles settled in Yuezhi Royal City, a prosperous land. They followed the example of Chinese people, cultivating fields and saving food and grass. Even with the help of the Qin people, canals and agricultural facilities were built. Coupled with the bonus from trade routes, they lived a very comfortable life.

But another faction, such as the four major Xihous and their tribes, conquered the Western Regions and maintained the Yuezhi's influence in the Western Regions.

Naturally, it is impossible for this group of people to transport food and grass from the Yuezhi Royal City for their military operations. The Western Region is vast, and such a logistical supply method is unrealistic.

Unlike the semi-nomadic people of the Yuezhi, the Wusun, like the Xiongnu, lived by water and grass. Such long-distance military operations will be followed by a large number of tribesmen.

The men are fighting outside, while the women, old people and children are tending the cattle and sheep in the back.

The four major princes of the Yuezhi also have the same logistics supply method.

But in this case, a contradiction arises. The army came west, followed by a large number of tribesmen, but there were countless good pastures.

Both Yuezhi and Wusun need pasture and safe havens to house their people, but as the army advances, resources become limited. Coupled with the old feud between Yuezhi and Wusun, after the joy of winning the Three Kingdoms of the Western Regions faded away, the naked reality appeared in front of them.

"This month, our tribe has had dozens of fights with the Yueshi, and many people have been injured."

"You shouldn't have listened to those Yuezhi people in the first place."

"Kunmi, it has been half a year since we left the royal court. If the Dawan people hear the news, they may take the opportunity to occupy our place."

…

Amidst all the objections, King Wusun waved his hand to stop the discussion.

Because the guest he had been waiting for had already arrived.

The tent curtain moved slightly, and a man in black robe walked in under the leadership of the guards.

After taking off the black robe, the visitor will be dressed in a different style, which will make him look completely different from the other Wusun people present.

"Zhao Shuang, Lord Chehou of Great Qin and Lord Hanyang, has met King Wusun!"

The visitor spoke fluent Wusun language, which surprised King Wusun. In order to prepare for this meeting, he also specially prepared a translator, but now it seems that there is no need for it.

"Han Yangjun actually speaks Wusun language?"

"Learn for a while with the people from the Wusun caravan who came to Jincheng, and you will naturally understand."

"It seems that your Majesty has been prepared for this."

King Wusun looked at the man in front of him. He had a temperament that was different from that of Wusun and even the royal nobles of various countries in the Western Region. There are countless legends about this man in the Western Regions. Following the defeat of the Yueshi rebels, they fled west one after another and spread throughout the countries in the Western Regions.

Of course, there isn't much good to say about it.

King Wusun had also heard the legend that this man defeated hundreds of thousands of Yuezhi's cavalry with ten thousand infantry.

He didn't dare to underestimate the man in front of him, but he wasn't willing to bow his head just yet.

"We have heard that the Qin army is invincible in the world, even in the Western Regions. I wonder if we can learn from it this time?"

"Soldiers are an ominous weapon, and saints use them as a last resort."

King Wusun frowned when he heard Zhao Shuang's words. Quite simply, because he didn't understand at all.

General Wusun on the side even cursed.

"Stop talking nonsense, we don't understand the big principles of you Qin people. I just want to know if you dare to fight."

Facing the aggressive crowd, Zhao Shuang was not annoyed.

"Kunmi should know that Qiubiju, the great prince of the Yuezhi, has 30,000 horses and is stationed behind the Yumen. There is a large grassland and dozens of fortresses behind him. Wusun's army must be defeated if it reaches the royal city. These 30,000 cavalry and the thousands of elite soldiers in the dozens of fortresses. There are also nearly 10,000 defenders in Yuezhi King City. I want to ask, Wusun finally got his wish, does he still have the strength to fight the Qin army? "

King Wusun had a deep understanding of his enemies. With the development of the Yuezhi Royal City and the armaments supply from the Qin people, many armored infantry troops appeared in the Yuezhi army.

These infantry are better equipped than the tribe's rangers, and their mission is also to protect the city.

Wusun did not have a strong ability to attack difficulties. What he only had was the ability of the four major Xihous of the Yuezhi to persuade them to surrender as important members of the Yuezhi.

But things were not as smooth as King Wusun imagined.

"What's more, if the Wusun Army consumes too much military power in this battle, will the four major Xihous give Kunmi and you the corresponding rewards as promised?"

"What do you want to say?"

"Wusun and Dawan are both powerful countries. Wusun has not been in the country for a long time, and it will be disadvantageous to fight for a long time. If something happens in the rear, there will be nothing to return to. Kunmi must pay attention to it."

Zhao Shuang's words sent chills into the hearts of everyone present. Wusun was expelled by the Yuezhi and migrated to the Western Regions.

Compared with other small countries in the Western Region, Wusun, which can dispatch tens of thousands of rangers at every turn, is undoubtedly a first-rate military power. With the help of his tribe, he became king and hegemon in the Western Region, but it didn't take long and he made many enemies.

The mobilization of the army would take a year. If they continue to struggle here, if something happens behind them, they will lose their way back.

"The Western Region is vast enough for Wusun to live in. Rather than forming an alliance with these four great princes, Wusun would be better off forming an alliance with our Great Qin. In this way, Wusun can gain a firm foothold in the Western Regions, and our Great Qin has also gained enough support in the Western Regions. support."

Zhao Shuang's words moved King Wusun a little.

King Wusun knew even more clearly that if he wanted to ally with Zhao Shuang, he would be making enemies of these four major Xihous.

Betrayal has huge benefits.

Unknowingly, the corners of King Wusun's mouth raised slightly.

At night, raging flames ignited in the Yuezhi rebel camp.

The leader of the Yin Yang family came here with his descendants from thousands of miles away and witnessed this scene, but he did not care about this war that could affect the pattern of the Western Region.

"The fantasy land of the Western Region is about to open."

As the years passed, Gao Yue became taller and taller. At this time, her beautiful eyes were looking at the battlefield in the distance, and she didn't care about it.

"Your Excellency Donghuang, do you really want to do this?"

"If I can't obtain the dragon soul and heal my injuries, then everything will be meaningless to me."

The leader of the Yin Yang Family spoke with a hint of loneliness, but he was also extremely determined.

Under Gao Yue's eyes, one person walked away alone.
