Six hundred and thirty one tone
After seeing off Zhang Anshi, Zhang Yue sat alone in the study and fell into deep thought.
Wusun is an important part of the Han family’s strategy!
At the beginning, Zhang Qian was ordered to go on a mission to the Western Regions, with the goal of finding the Yuezhi who moved west, establishing an alliance with him, and attacking the Huns from both sides.
After countless setbacks and hardships, and thirteen years, we finally completed our mission.
But unfortunately, the Yuezhi people at that time had found their ideal paradise: Macedonia - the Great Xia Kingdom established by descendants of Greek colonists.
There is no place that is easier to bully than this weak kingdom and the South Asian subcontinent, which is even weaker than it.
The Yuezhi people have long been overjoyed.
Moreover, this monster house in East Asia is really terrible.
The Yuezhi people are not stupid, how could they turn back and face the Huns?
Therefore, Zhang Qian's mission ended in failure in terms of results.
but……
The so-called "will be a blessing if you lose your horse"?
After losing the Yuezhi people, Zhang Qian was invited by the Wusun people on the way back.
At that time, Kunmo, the adopted son of the Huns Maodun Shanyu, the righteous brother of the old Shang Shanyu, and the biggest ally of the Huns in the Western Regions. Lie Jiaomi, who was considered a loyal thug by the Shanyuting, quietly told Zhang Qian: "I want to send someone to Chang'an with the envoy to see it? I don't know if the envoy is convenient?"
How could it be inconvenient?
Zhang Qian was overjoyed at that time.
And this is undoubtedly a meeting that changed world history.
Since then, the relationship between Han and Wusun has become increasingly close.
At the beginning, the Wusun people simply wanted to develop trade with the Han Dynasty and get more silk from the Han Dynasty.
However, when the Wusun mission first arrived at the Chang'an City of Han, he witnessed the glory and magnificence of the Han capital and the powerful combat effectiveness of the Han army...
So all other options disappeared.
All that remains is to form an alliance with Han!
After returning to China, all members of the mission lobbyed Wusun day and night.
Finally, it led to the marriage between Han and Wusun.
Princess Xijun arrived in Wusun with the first batch of Han officials and books.
This opened the prelude to the Han Dynasty's management of the Western Regions, and also opened a new generation of the Han and Wusun.
After Princess Xijun, Princess Jieyou married Wusun.
It is different from Princess Xijun, who always misses her hometown and becomes sick with depression.
Princess Jieyou is lively by nature, smart and bold in style.
Since the second year of Taichu, after arriving in Wusun, this Han royal princess has continuously deepened the relationship between Han and Wusun with her superb skills and witty thinking.
Until now, Princess Jieyou and her husband Wusun Kunmoweng are complementary and the husband and wife follow each other.
The two joined forces to cultivate a large number of pro-Han nobles, and even allowed the Han people to have their poetry, books, rituals and music to grow in a foreign country thousands of miles away.
Thinking of these known facts, Zhang Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
There is no doubt that Ni Mi's visit will likely rewrite history.
only……
This little Kunmo is not a good person!
Others don’t know, but Zhang Yue, who has traced back countless historical materials, still doesn’t know?
This person was called "Mad King". During his reign, he acted in a rebellious manner and went against the Xiongnu, almost breaking up the alliance between the Han and Wusun.
Such a person suddenly came to Chang'an?
Zhang Yue rubbed his temples, and he knew that he might be in trouble.
but……
Zhang Yue did not want to reject this challenge, nor did he want to entrust the matter to others.
Because, Zhang Yue knew that in order to let this little Kunmo visit Chang'an secretly.
Behind it, Princess Jieyou and Weng Guimi probably did countless things, paid countless hard work, and even paid a great price.
We must never let Princess Jieyou and Weng Guimi's efforts be wasted!
Wusun Xiao Kunmo's trip to Chang'an must have some results!
But this diplomacy is not like Zhang Yue’s past and Gu Liang, the scholars and officials of the ancient literature school.
This diplomacy is justified and well-founded.
Especially Wusun is also the most important ally of the Han Dynasty!
Moreover, in Zhang Yue's conception, Wusun's future role will be similar to the British Empire within NATO.
As the most important ally of the Han Dynasty in the Western Regions and Central Asia, Wusun also had the ability and strength to assume this role.
so……
Zhang Yue immediately understood how he should greet and receive the little Kunmo.
"We must show our power!" Zhang Yue said softly and made a decision.
It is necessary to let the little Kunmo see the strength and greatness of the Han Empire during his trip to Chang'an!
In his heart, the seeds of "being enemies with Han" were planted.
The best result was of course to make him devotedly to becoming the Han Dynasty's host.
But this is unlikely.
Because, this little Kun is not alone.
He is the leader of a huge force, and he has the final say in this force now.
In fact, the one who made the decision on his behalf should be Mrs. Zuo of Wusun, the Huns' residence.
But people always have to have dreams.
What if the dream comes true?
Therefore, working in this direction should be the main tone for me to welcome and receive the little Kunmo this time.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yue got up and walked up in the study.
While walking, thinking about the strategy.
"Since you want to demonstrate, you have to come up with something that is intimidating..." Zhang Yue thought in his heart: "And it must be something that has a very visual impact and can be daunting!"
And now what is the Han Dynasty that is the most shocking thing that makes outsiders think it is a heavenly soldier and general?
If it were Huo Qubing and Wei Qing's era, the huge cavalry cluster of Han's family could have fully met this point.
At that time, in Guanzhong alone, the Han family raised 150,000 horses, and the Northern Army always prepared 30,000 elite cavalry.
But now, the once powerful Han cavalry cluster has long declined.
Because of Gongsun He and his son, the current Han servants could not even stabilize the demand for war horses from Li Guangli's regiment.
Therefore, we must find out something else and find a new way of deterrence.
"Is Tiefutu?" Zhang Yue thought to himself.
No one has clicked the technology tree of heavy cavalry yet.
Whether in the Han, the Xiongnu or the Wusun, all cavalry were light cavalry.
The main way of fighting for cavalry is to hedge hand-to-hand.
The main reason why the Han army was able to defeat the Huns was that the Han army had more systematic training and better equipment, especially the large number of cavalry-equipped crossbows, which allowed the Han soldiers to have reliable weapons of close-range lethality.
As for the current situation, no one can afford to play with the crooked and evil ways of heavy armored cavalry.
It is not only because of technical limitations, but also because horseshoes have not been invented.
Therefore, there are almost no war horses that can carry heavy armored cavalry.
However, this was not difficult for Zhang Yue.
What's even better is that on the current earth, only the Han Dynasty can afford heavy armored cavalry.
so……
"This seems to be a good way to kill two birds with one stone!"
The idiot cavalry like Tiefutu has limited use in war.
But, the heavy armored cavalry looks good!
Full of visual impact!
Just like the caress of later generations, it is the treasure of the world and the most advanced equipment.
As long as you see, there is nothing you don’t want to have.
so……
Chapter completed!
