Chapter 1147: Hunter and Prey (1)(1/2)

Late autumn has arrived. In the morning of the Dayuan grassland, frost is like snow and thick fog is like clouds. I can’t see my fingers. The temperature drops to below zero, and I can almost breathe into ice.

"These sweaters from the Han people are really good!" Wusun Kunmo Wengguimi put on the cashmere underwear and wool robe that he had just sent from China, and said with some emotion: "It would be great if I, Wusun, could also learn how to weave this sweater..."

"Yes..." Yuan Anmi could not help but think of it beside him: "If this is the case, I am afraid that the people of Wusun can eat and wear warmth by relying solely on this sweater trade!"

As the weather became colder, Han people's sweaters began to pour into the Western Regions in large quantities.

It quickly became the most beloved clothing and fabric for the nobles and royal families of the Western Regions.

A piece of wool material has a value that is comparable to the best silk in the past in the Western Regions.

And if it is wool made of cashmere, it is even more valuable!

Wusun also imported a lot of wool and sweaters through trade with the Han Dynasty. Then these textiles woven by the Han people quickly became popular in Wusun, and were sent to the front line through its domestic supply lines for wear by princes and nobles.

Now, some of the Wusun army have even captured good cavalry and have worn this expensive sweater.

The key point is that this brand new wool material is different from the silk of the past.

Silk is the unique skill of the Han people.

The Wusun people still don’t know what kind of silk is woven?

I just heard Princess Jieyou and Princess Xijun accidentally say that it seems to be a bug in the south of the Han Dynasty?

Just how do you weave a bug?

And, what does this bug eat?

The people of Wusun knew nothing and could not ask the Han officials and palace maids who came to Wusun for their dowry.

I had to put this matter aside.

But this fabric is different!

Weng Guimi knew, Yuan Anmi knew, and even most of the Wusun nobles knew that they were woven.

The only thing I don’t understand is how the Han people removed the impurities and fishy smell of wool, and how did they weave the wool into such a fine texture?

So, I could only watch the wool and cashmere produced in my country sold to the Han Dynasty and turned into wool materials, and then bought it back at a high price.

I could only watch the Han Dynasty people making money every day, using this wool material to easily harvest wealth from various countries.

Gold, silver, pearls and jade, slaves, livestock... The wealth of the Western Regions countries flowed into the pockets of the Han Dynasty like flowing water.

However, the Han Dynasty almost only entered and did not leave.

Although the Wusun people do not understand the economy, they also understand that this will not be a long-term solution.

But they could not crack the wool and how cashmere was processed, so they could only watch the situation continue.

"Don't the Han Dynasty want to marry a princess in our country?" Yuan Anmi turned his eyes and suddenly said, "Kunmo, why don't you ask the Han Dynasty people to use this wool processing and weaving technology as one of the betrothal gifts to give it to our country?"

"Will the Han Dynasty agree?" Weng Guimi was moved, but she did not dare to expect too much.

"Agree or not, try and say it..." Yuan Anmi advised: "Anyway, even if we don't agree, our country will not lose anything!"

"Well..." Weng Guimi nodded: "Then Gerry will do this matter!"

"Your will!" Yuan Anmi bowed with a smile.

"By the way..." Weng Guimi suddenly remembered something and asked: "Kangju Cavalry, where are you now?"

More than a month ago, Weng Guimi's envoy met with the envoy of King Kangju on the Dayuan border.

Then, the two envoys from both sides made close contacts, and finally, ten days later, Weng Guimi met with the King Kangju.

During the meeting, Weng Guimi and Nakangju King "Yao Nu" (transliteration), swearing to fight against the Xiongnu.

Therefore, King Kangju promised to send 10,000 of his most elite cavalry to join Wusun.

The purpose of both countries is very clear--the Huns must not be allowed to capture Guishan City.

Because once Guishan City is owned by the Huns, the Huns can take root at the foot of the Pamir Mountains by the medicine killing water.

It is almost impossible to expel it again.

For Kangju people, this is a nightmare.

For the Wusun people, this was almost a terrible matter like a death-tempering curse - all fools knew that if the Huns had the richest area in Dayuan, then they would definitely plot against the grassland occupied by the Wusun people next.

Then, they would inevitably go further and plot against Wusun’s pasture in Yin Lieshui.

After all, the Huns could not defeat the Han Dynasty.

"Report to Kunmo, a Kangju envoy came to report yesterday. The Kangju cavalry, under the command of his general Tu Zhi, had already set out five days ago. They should be able to arrive and meet with our army when our army arrived in the western part of Guishan City!" Yuan Anmi immediately replied seriously: "In addition, by your order from Kunmo, I have also contacted King Jingjue, and with the help of King Jingjue's cover, I sent someone to send your message to Guishan City..."

"Very good!" Weng Guimi smiled: "Let's give the Huns a big surprise!"

Now he has the most elite cavalry of Wusun under his command. In this way, with the cavalry of the Kangju people, there are 30,000 elite cavalry.

Although the main force of the Huns was known as more than 100,000, its backbone was only the four 10,000 cavalry and the troops of Shule and other countries.

In terms of combat forces, there may not be more than him.

In addition, if you have intentional ambitions and no intentions, the Huns will definitely be in chaos under the sudden attack.

Even if you cannot defeat it, at least you can break the siege of Guishan City and drag the war until next year.

When spring begins, the Han Dynasty soldiers will inevitably intervene!

This is the guarantee of the Han Dynasty's General Yang - if Wusun can last the Huns for several months, the royal army will definitely fight it next year!

If the Han Dynasty soldiers joined the battlefield, the commander was the general of General Yang, Chi You!

Then the defeat of the Huns is destined!

At that time, Wusun could take the opportunity to take over the entire Dayuan Kingdom by pretending to be the emperor of the Han Dynasty and annex the country that made them salivate.

Thus, we realize our ambition since hunting for arrogance - dominate the Pamirs and the Western Regions!

So, with satisfaction, Wusun Kunmo sat on a chair with the help of the slaves and asked someone to carry it forward.

At this moment, in the thick fog, dense Wusun cavalry were marching.

They gradually moved south along the veins of the grassland, approaching the medicine and killing water.

Now, they are only three hundred miles away from Guishan City.

In Weng Guimi's view, the Huns would never have expected that Wusun would dare to risk destroying the country and tear down the alliance between the two countries and turn against each other first!

And the so-called left general Wang Yuan, the commander of the Xiongnu, was just an old Han lieutenant, just a mediocre person, and it was not a problem at all!

This can be seen from his stupid rejection of the Dayuan people in Guishan City’s request, threatening to destroy Dayuan and seize the wealth of the entire Dayuan!

The commander of the Huns was full of water in his mind!

pity……

Weng Guimi would never have imagined that at this time, the person who was in charge of the central army and arranged commands at Guishan City was no longer Wang Yuan.

Push the time forward for two months.

In the middle of the autumn of the third year of Yanhe, after the massacre of Yu Chengcheng, General Yang of Han Ying sent an envoy to sue the Huns, demanding that the Huns restrain themselves and forbidden massacres similar to Yu Chengcheng. Under heavy pressure, the Huns were forced to fully accept the conditions of the Han family and exchange gold and slaves for the forgiveness of the Han people in a humiliating manner.

Of course, this decision was not something that Wang Yuan could do.

In fact, it was a decision made by Li Ling, who was in the private channel at that time.

Only he can have the courage and qualification to make such a decision.

Afterwards, Li Ling immediately led his troops to secretly chase the evil and pass the train master from the private canal to Yanshe.

In early August, Li Ling led his troops to Wang Yuan's camp.

But his confidentiality is very good.

It was so good that except Wang Yuan, almost all the Hun nobles and the kings of the Western Regions did not know that their master, the Hun Regent, had arrived.

Since then, the actions and military strategies of the Huns have been arranged by Li Ling through Wang Yuan.

Including, it rejected the surrender of the nobles in Guishancheng.

It also includes the time when the enemy was lured and encircled and annihilated outside Guishan City.

Not Li Ling, who could command such excellent and meticulous combat?

If it weren't for Li Ling, how could such a perfect performance be achieved based on the coordination between the Huns and the countries in the Western Regions?

However, he did it very secretly, and he had been in Wang Yuanshuo's tent, hidden behind the scenes, and never showed up.

It not only confuses all his opponents.

He also kept the Huns in the dark - including his civil war opponents and the Shanyus, who still thought that Li Ling was still in the private channel and was planning an attack after the beginning of next spring and a gathering with Wei Lu's troops.

"Any way of using troops is to be ordered by the king, and the army gathers together. There is no place to be left in the ruins, no place to join the streets, no place to stay, no plan to encircle the land, and no place to fight when the land is dead, there is no way to help the road, there is no way to attack the army, there is no attack in the city, there is no place to fight in the land, there is no way to fight in the king's orders..." Li Ling held a bamboo slip and recited the reader carefully under the oil lamp, pondered it, and sighed for a long time: "Ah, Zhang Zizhong, a real famous general, what a hero! This "Thirty-six Chapters of Grandson" really opened my eyes!"

"Especially, this saying, "There is something that cannot be controlled, the army does not attack, the city does not attack, the land does not fight, and the king's orders do not accept it." In fact, even the famous saying, if a general commands the army, if he can know this, how can he be invincible?!"

As he said that, he handed the book in his hand to Wang Yuan beside him and said, "Brother, you should read more of this book!"

"No!" Wang Yuan solemnly took the book and said, "Lord, your words seem to mean something?"

"Haha..." Li Ling laughed: "A military service is a major event in the country and a place of life and death. In order to survive, you must use any means!"
To be continued...
