"Haha..." The military minister laughed loudly, put his hand on his chest, invited Liejiaomi and his party, and said, "Brother, please check in first!"

"Follow your will!" Liejiaomi bowed his head deeply.

The accompanying Wusun nobles touched their heads to the ground to express their submission.

This made the Hun nobles behind the military officials feel a little more comfortable.

The military officials then stepped forward, took Lie Jiaomi's hand, and walked side by side towards the king's tent.

It's like what happened in the past when Laoshang Shanyu was in power and Lie Jiaomi came to the court of the Huns.

After entering the king's tent, the guests and guests were seated separately.

"Brother, I invite you here this time to inform you of something: the Huns have decided to destroy Dayuan..." As soon as they sat down, the military officials eagerly said to Lie Jiaomi: "According to King Zuo Xian

According to the report, Dawan has a population of more than 300,000 and at least 200,000 slaves. These are all wealth. The Huns are willing to share this wealth with Wusun!"

Following the words of the military officials, the Wusun nobles also started whispering.

Perhaps because of history, tradition and customs, Wusun's political system is very loose.

Its political structure is more decentralized than that of the Xiongnu.

In the Xiongnu, when the Chanyu issued an order, even the vassals Wuheng and Xianbei must obey 100%, otherwise, they would only perish.

Maodun and the two previous generations of Chanyus used iron and blood to establish the absolute authority of the Chanyus.

But in Wusun, this is not the case.

Because of tradition and history, Wusun implements a primitive clan system.

This is a primitive system that is even more backward and inefficient than the tribal system.

The interior of Wusun is divided into three urns.

Each Wenghou is the leader of a clan, controlling their respective tribes and armies.

Because of historical reasons, in fact, these three Wenghou are not even from the same nation.

Zuohou Kundun is a member of the Wusun tribe. The name Kundun means King's Shield in the Wusun language. Because in the Wusun language, Kun and Mi are connected, and Mi means son of the god, so everything

The kings of Wusun, after taking the throne, would add the word "mi" to the end of their names.

Examples include hunting arrogant, wengguimi, military beard and so on.

And this Zuohou Kundun was the eldest son of Liejiaomi. In fact, his status was the same as that of King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu.

If everything goes well, then in the future, after he ascends the throne as Kunmo, he will add the word "mi" to the end of his name, called Kundunmi.

It's just that Kundun is not in good health.

But Kundun's son Junxu is favored by many people. Although he is still in his infancy, Wusun shaman has already predicted that he will lead Wusun to prosperity.

At this moment, Kundun was standing behind Liejiaomi, faithfully performing his duties as King of Shields.

Next to Kundun is his younger brother, Wusun Dalu Nimo.

Dalu is the official name of Wusun, which is probably similar to the prime minister in China. He is responsible for assisting the king and governing the country.

However, this big man's eyes were cold and he looked at the Huns in a rather unkind way.

Everyone knows that this Dalu is an ambitious guy. What's more important is that his strength has expanded rapidly recently. With his huge financial resources, he has won over two princes in Wusun and made them inclined.

Dalu.

On the left and right sides of Liejiaomi, there were two Wenghou whose positions were leaning toward Dalu.

The right hou Zhexiu and the middle hou Sasi.

Zhexiu is a man with dark hair and brown eyes.

Zhexiu's ancestor was the leader of a powerful tribe in the Yuezhi country in the past. Thirty years ago, Wusun and the Xiongnu formed an alliance to launch the final battle against the Yuezhi. It was Zhexiu's ancestor who turned against the Yuezhi and caused the Yuezhi to be completely

rout.

Even the Yuezhi Royal Court was set on fire by Zhexiu's father himself.

Therefore, in essence, Zhexiu is actually a Yuezhi person.

Qixiu himself has never concealed this point.

Wusun and the Xiongnu also knew it clearly.

This time, the Xiongnu called for marching westward to eradicate the Yuezhi people. Zhexiu was the most active supporter in Wusun. The reason was simple: if the Yuezhi people were not destroyed, Zhexiu and his tribe would be destroyed if they came back for revenge.

, definitely the first to lie down.

Zhexiu knew very well that the Yuezhi people would never treat traitors lightly.

So after hearing what the military officials said, Zhexiu was already a little ready to make a move.

But Sasi on the other side looked indifferent.

There were many gold ornaments hanging on Sa Si's body, and he wore a weird pointed felt hat on his head. His face was like a Hun noble, with several scars cut by knives. It seemed that this Wusun's middle prince

, somewhat ferocious.

As the leader of the Cypriots in Wusun, Sasi was too lazy to care about what the Huns wanted to do.

If Dalu hadn't given him a gold bribe...

He didn't even bother to care about the quarrel between Kunmo's two sons.

Liejiaomi glanced at his son and ministers with his cloudy eyes. Liejiaomi was very clear about Wusun's current situation.

Except for Youhou Zhexiu, everyone else did not agree with following the Xiongnu to the west to fight against the Yuezhi.

However, as the master and supreme ruler of the country, Liejiaomi's experience told him that if he refused the request of the military officials face to face, Wusun would be regarded as an enemy by the Xiongnu.

The Huns never showed mercy to their enemies.

Therefore, after thinking for a moment, Liejiaomi stood up and respectfully asked the military officials: "Honorable Great Chanyu, how many slaves can Wusun get by conquering Dawan?"

On the prairie, slaves are the most important asset of a country and nation.

The strength of the Xiongnu was built on the bones of slaves.

Without the support of slaves, how could the Huns claim to control hundreds of thousands of people with a population base of less than one million?

Without slaves, it would be even more impossible for Wusun to be able to maintain tens of thousands of cavalry with a total population of less than 300,000!

Since the beginning of mankind, the main theme on this prairie has been to enslave others and be enslaved by others.

Therefore, the issue of hunting arrogance goes straight to the core.

The military officer's breathing also began to become heavier.

The Huns were wary of Wusun.

At least after the military officials came to the throne, they were extremely wary of the country of their adopted uncle.

The Wusun of today is not the little brother who needed the wings and protection of the Huns thirty years ago.

The population is close to 300,000, and the population is at least 40,000 to 50,000.

Such a force is to the west of the Xiongnu, adjacent to the small countries in the Western Regions.

The military ministers were really worried. What if the Wusun people continued to be strong in the future, but the Xiongnu fell into weakness?

On this grassland, the most worthless things are the so-called feelings, morality and loyalty.

Therefore, the military ministers had to spare no effort to tie Wusun into the Huns' chariot, and use the war against the west to consume Wusun's strength under the banner of annihilating the Yueshi.

Since they had such a calculation, the military officials would certainly not leave Wusun an opportunity to strengthen himself.

Therefore, the military minister straightened his face and asked, "Kunmo can't trust me?"

Even the title of brother was thrown aside.

The Hun nobles in the tent looked at each other angrily, and if they had any disagreement, they would attack Xie Jiaomi.

The Huns could definitely do such a thing.

In history, they could even kill their own father, let alone an ‘uncle’ who was already a little restless?

Liejiaomi looked around at the angry-looking Hun nobles and met their provocative eyes without fear.

As a Wusun who grew up among the Huns, Liejiaomi knows the personality of the Huns very well.

Weakness was a crime among the Huns.

Facing the threats and intimidation of the Huns, the only correct approach is to retaliate forcefully.

"It's not that I can't trust the Great Chanyu..." Lie Jiaomi looked at the military minister calmly and said: "It's because the matter is serious and I need the Chanyu to give me a promise. One person will sacrifice himself on a white horse facing the sun, moon, heaven and earth.

A promise sworn in blood!"

Sacrificing a white horse to the sky is the most solemn ceremony of the Wusun people, and swearing an oath in blood is the most solemn promise of the Xiongnu.

Those who violate it will be abandoned by the gods.

Although, even so, even if such an agreement is made, the possibility of violation still exists in the future.

But at least, if a certain bottom line is not touched, such a vow is unlikely to be broken.

The military officials looked at Xie Jiaomi and burst into laughter.

He waved his hand and asked the excited ministers to sit down, stretched out his hand, and said to Liejiaomi: "Since my brother insists on it, then I will make such a promise to my brother!"

"Dadanghu, go ask the high priest to prepare a ceremony to sacrifice to the sky. Tomorrow, I, the Great Chanyu, and Wusun Kunmo will face the White Mountain and swear an oath to the sun, moon, heaven, earth and the gods!"

"As you wish, noble plow Gutu!" A Hun noble stood up and touched his head to the ground.
