On the third day of June, Tianyuguan was very lively.
Outside the pass are a large number of cattle and hundreds of cavalry accompanying them. These are the Huns' grain transport team.
Standing on the city wall, Yu Shan was in a pretty good mood. The 20,000 shi of food shipped out today will ease the difficulties of the frontline cavalry.
Let's talk about the south side of Tianyu Pass. At this time, the Jin army also gathered in large numbers. The total number of soldiers in the three gates was more than 2,000.
There are many large shields and spears in Wengcheng, and archers on the wall are ready to attack. At this moment, Tianyuguan is impregnable.
Yushan had clearly sensed that the Jin army was powerful, but he had seen it so much these days that it didn't feel novel to him.
"Governor Luo, I often hear comments from the soldiers stationed there, saying that the Imperial Guards can be called heavenly soldiers. Are they really that powerful?"
"I have been in the customs for some time, but why have I never seen these forbidden troops?"
Yu Shan was completely curious about the Imperial Army that he had never seen with his own eyes.
Luo Lun couldn't help but laugh and said: "The Forbidden Army defense area is not here, so I can't see it!"
Laurent did not explain more about the situation, as he did not want to dwell on this topic.
Meng Hai happened to come over and report: "Sir, are you ready? Do you want to turn on the switch?"
"Switch!" Lauren said solemnly.
"yes!"
Immediately afterwards, Luo Lun went to deliver the order, and soon the sound of the city gate was heard.
Outside the city gate, the Xiongnu team was waiting, and they were not allowed to enter the pass.
Therefore, the food in Tianyu Pass has to be transported out by the Forbidden Army soldiers, which takes a lot of time.
Seeing the cart loaded with grain drive out, Yu Shan felt even happier.
"Governor Luo, the Western Barbarians are not trying their best now. We can still resist with difficulty, but we are afraid that they will gain a firm foothold and use their hands..."
"Please urge me on the weapons you want to deliver. We need these things very much!"
After driving away the Huns, the Western Barbarians occupied a large area of land in the Western Regions. In order to survive sustainably, these people also farmed and opened up wasteland in the Western Regions.
Nowadays, those who are fighting fiercely with the Xiongnu are only the peripheral forces of the Western Barbarians, that is, the people they encircled on their way eastward.
"I know that, you don't have to worry!"
The two were having a good chat, but Yu Lixi, who was supervising below, came behind Yu Shan with a strange look on his face.
"Your Majesty, Princess Tia is here!"
"Little sister? What is she doing here? My father has indulged her too much. She should stay in the royal court at this time!"
Although Yushan's tone was annoyed, his eyes were full of doting. He actually doted on his only unmarried sister more than his father.
Yu Lixi had no choice but to explain: "Your Majesty, it was the Great Chanyu who sent the princess here!"
"Father... sent her here?" Yu Shan looked solemn, tasting the flavor of this sentence.
Staring at Yu Lixi, Yu Shan said with a cold face: "If you don't tell me straight away, I will chop you with a knife!"
Although Yushan was very polite when talking to Luo Lun, as the heir of Shanyu, he was famous on the grassland for his tyranny and cruelty.
Little King Ding Ling was naturally frightened out of his mind at this moment.
Yu Lixi said quickly: "The Great Chanyu sent Princess Tiya to marry the Emperor of Jin Ting and make the two countries a marriage country!"
In fact, it didn't take him to tell Yushan that he had guessed it.
The two countries have now made peace, but this covenant is too thin, so some decorations must be added to it.
The idea of a marriage between the Xiongnu Chanyu and Xiongnu is not new at all. In the long history of Jin and Tingbai, the two countries had married each other seven or eight times.
Seeing Yushan's silence, Yu Lixi said again: "Your Majesty, Princess Tiya is not willing to do it. She is making trouble with others right now. How do you think we should deal with it?"
"King?"
With a cold snort, Yu Shan walked away directly and walked under the city wall.
Seeing Yushan leave, Luo Lun seemed a little surprised, because he left so suddenly, he should at least say something before leaving.
Yu Lixi quickly stepped forward to explain: "Governor Luo, our king has something to handle personally. He will be back soon!"
Grain Basket
Do you have something to deal with personally? Is there anything more important than receiving food?
Yushan got off the city tower, followed the grain truck out of the city gate, and soon came to the team receiving grain.
Seeing King Zuo Xian, all the Huns soldiers saluted, but a young girl in the crowd turned around and ignored Yu Shan who was approaching.
"Tiya..."
Helpless, Yushan walked around to face his sister. Unexpectedly, the girl turned around again.
"Don't you even recognize your eldest brother?"
Unexpectedly, the girl said: "Father doesn't want me anymore, so of course you don't want me either!"
"No nonsense!"
"I don't want to marry a southerner, but my father forces me to marry. Brother, will you help me?"
With tears on her beautiful face, Tiya said: "If my eldest brother still recognizes me as my sister, please give me a horse and a scimitar. I can survive on the grassland by myself!"
At this moment, Yushan felt very sad. Of course he didn't want his sister to be used for marriage.
But the Xiongnu situation is critical now, and the relationship with the Jin court is very important, so he understands his father's choice.
Although he is Tiya's brother, he is indeed the heir of the Huns. He can clearly distinguish between emotion and reason.
"Sister, you don't want to marry. Without the support of the Jin court, your father, mother, your third brother, fourth brother and sixth brother, as well as your nieces and nephews, and your eldest brother and I... will all die!"
"Don't you know how cruel those Western barbarians are? Your second and fifth brothers all died at the hands of those enemies!"
"Brother can let you go, as long as you are willing for our whole family to die and for there to be no more Huns on the grassland!"
By the end of the conversation, Yushan's expression had returned to calm.
After hearing these words, Tiya finally understood that even the eldest brother who loves her the most has the same thoughts as her father at this moment.
"Brother...I understand!" Tiya burst into tears.
Yu Shan sighed with sadness in his tone: "Little sister, for the sake of the Great Huns, I have no choice but to wrong you!"
The Huns, who roamed thousands of miles of grasslands, now had to make a living by giving away women. It was natural to feel sad when thinking of Yushan.
Tiya didn't say much. Yushan was his last glimmer of hope, and now her hope was shattered.
Seeing that his sister was silent, Yu Shan explained: "Tiya, the Emperor of Jin Ting is a first-class hero. You will not be humiliated if you marry him!"
"Brother, you don't need to say more, I understand everything!"
At this moment, the brother and sister were a little strange.
But at the moment, Yushan still had important things to do, so after comforting Tiya, he walked towards the city gate.
A few minutes later, Yushan appeared in front of Luo Lun and told him the latest situation.
"You mean... Shanyu wants to marry his daughter to the emperor?" Luo Lun was deeply surprised, so he confirmed again and again.
"That's right!" Yushan replied with a smile.
"In this way, you and I are not only a country of brothers, but also a country of in-laws, and our relationship will be even closer!"
Lauren nodded, naturally happy.
Chan Yudu was forced to give away his daughter, which was a great thing for the court. This was the first time since the founding of the Jin Dynasty.
"This matter... I have to report it to the emperor!"
After saying that, Laurent immediately asked: "Where is the princess?"
"Outside the city!" Yushan replied.
Luo Lun then said: "The princess is noble, how can we neglect her? Why don't we invite you into the pass now? Luo will be settled properly. What do you think, Your Highness?"
This attitude is too good. It seems that getting married is indeed the right thing... Yushan said secretly.
Forcing the Xiongnu Chanyu to marry his daughter was Luo Lun's political achievement. Of course he would be very enthusiastic.
"Yu Lixi, go and send Tiya in!"
"As you command!"
Standing on the city tower, looking at the approaching carriage in the distance, the smile on Lauren's face became even wider.
