Chapter 925: Temptation
Under the push and shouting of the two menacing Northern Hun warriors, the Kushan envoy, who pretended to be calm, walked into the big tent with unhurried steps.
Inside the big tent, Di Lian and Mao Ling and other Northern Xiongnu commanders were feasting and celebrating, ignoring the meaning of the Kushan envoy.
Taking a deep breath and with a calm face, the Guishan envoy walked to the middle of the big tent, and saluted aloud in the eyes of everyone who either ignored or ridiculed and disdain: "Guishan envoy, on the order of my king, meet the Northern Xiongnu Shan Yu. ”
Dilian, who was nibbling on a leg of mutton, heard the sound as if he hadn't heard it, and continued to deal with the delicious food in his hand.
The Kushan envoy also held his breath, and just stood quietly in place, without the slightest embarrassment on the surface.
After swallowing the last bite of mutton, Di Lian rubbed his oil-stained hand on the armrest covered with tiger skin, and said lightly: "Say, what's the matter." ”
"It is specially for the purpose of dispelling the misunderstanding between the two countries and relieving the scourge of war between the two countries."
"Oh? Want me to quit? ”
"That's true."
Di Lian smiled lightly: "This matter is simple. Just take this place as the boundary, and the land north of this place will belong to my Northern Huns, and I will immediately withdraw my troops. ”
"It's just a joke." The Kushan envoy said in a slightly tough tone: "The land I said alone occupies nearly one-third of the territory in the northern part of my Kushan, and with such a large area, it is impossible for my Guishan to concede it. Besides, in such a big place, can the current situation of the Xiongnu in the north be eaten? ”
"Bold!" When the surrounding people heard this, they all got up angrily and shouted. Many people directly pulled out the blades on their waists, with great intentions.
"What? Am I not right? Although the Guishan envoy was a little panicked in his heart, he still held on.
Di Lian waved his hand casually, asked everyone to retreat, and looked at the Guishan envoy with admiration: "You are very good. ”
"Thank you for the compliment." The Guishan envoy was sure in his heart, thinking that he had already passed the difficulty, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"What I respect most in the Northern Huns is the warriors who are not afraid of life and death. Come on, serve wine. Dillian laughed.
With that, the guard beside him poured two bowls of wine, one bowl was offered to both hands, and the other bowl was handed to the Kushan messenger.
"Please." Di Lianyao toasted a glass, then tilted his head and drained the wine.
And the Guishan envoy naturally didn't dare to refuse, holding the bowl in both hands, and also raised his head to dry.
"Okay." Di Lian laughed loudly and put the bowl down.
"Someone." The smile on his face stopped abruptly and turned into indifference: "Send this warrior on the road." ”
"Yes." When the two guards heard this, they entered the tent from outside the tent and held the Kushan messenger from both sides.
"Shan Yu, what do you mean by that?" The Kushan envoy was stunned.
"You're a man, it's a pity ......" Dilian had a slight pity and pity in his eyes.
"Give him a good time, and bury his whole body. The rest of the people cut off their heads and sent them to the Kushan king. ”
Hearing this, the two guards directly dragged the Guishan envoy away without the slightest hesitation.
"Shan Yu, how dare you? Do you really want the Northern Xiongnu to be destroyed and burned with my Guishan jade? The Kushan messenger, who was dragged upside down, shouted in unison.
When Di Lian heard this, he didn't react at all, poured himself a bowl of wine again, and drank to himself with a calm face.
The leaders of the more than a dozen Northern Huns on both sides laughed constantly, and their words were full of arrogance.
"I really don't know whether to live or die."
"Dare to go against my Northern Huns, where did you get the guts?"
"Shan Yu, let me continue to go south and kill directly to the capital of Guishan and destroy Guishan."
After drinking the last bowl of wine, Dilian suddenly put the bowl on the table. Everyone present was silent and sat upright.
"Tomorrow, continue to send troops south to plunder the Kushan. It doesn't matter how you fight me, but it's still the same sentence, try not to fight hard, and use the least price to achieve the greatest results and plunder the most property. This time, I must let Guishan understand the fate of angering my Northern Huns! ”
"Yes." Everyone roared in unison. The Northern Xiongnu were never afraid of death, and the battlefield was their most desirable paradise.
After everyone left, Mao Ling still stayed.
"Shan Yu, Guishuang is really a thief! In this case, such a tentative act can be made. Mao Ling said in a deep voice.
"Vesudeva I was not an easy man to deal with, far more terrifying than he seemed. This person is like a poisonous snake hidden in the shadows, usually silent, and once you seize the opportunity, you will die. Dilian said with a solemn gaze.
"After all, our Northern Xiongnu foundation is too shallow, not as big as the Guishan family, and they can't withstand the toss at all. It's not been a day or two since Vesudeva I was thinking about us. Once he finds out that we are weak, he will definitely bite us and hold on to us, and then we will be in trouble. ”
"So you directly killed this Kushan envoy this time?"
"This is a good opportunity. The southern Kushan army was pinned, and the current situation did not allow them to choose at all. If you don't take the opportunity to knock it, how can you be worthy of such a good opportunity? ”
"It's just a pity, this envoy does have some courage, but after all, he is not friend or foe." Mao Ling sighed lightly.
"Kushan sent him, apparently with the intention of burying him here. I don't know what faction this person is, and he is treated like this. Such a loyal and upright person was pushed out to death because of the party struggle, and Guishan was indeed completely decayed, and the day of the country's demise was not far away. Dilian's eyes were full of mockery.
Too many smart people are also not a good thing. Most of the Northern Xiongnu were reckless, but because of this, they were not afraid of death, united, and fought each other with less than one-twelfth of the opponent's national strength. They are extremely disdainful of the practice of these so-called "smart people" to exclude dissidents and destroy the walls of the city.
"Shan Yu, when did you say that the next group of envoys from Guishan would be sent?"
"Soon, because this time we will completely hurt them and beat them to the point of terrification." Dilian said in a deep voice.
Guishuang still dared to make a tentative move in this situation, which completely angered Dilian's bottom line. I really don't treat them as human beings. Although there is a huge gap in national strength, the innate superiority of the nomads in war can be counted. If this insult of Guishan cannot be repaid with blood, how will the Northern Xiongnu gain a foothold in the world in the future?
"This time, let the Sky Wolf Rider also dispatch. But don't be as hard as before, just go with the big army. Kill the enemy with low battle damage, after all, we can't afford to lose. ”
"I understand. But Shan Yu, Anxi's garrison on the border has also been strengthened, should you take precautions? ”
"No, I don't. Rest is now difficult to protect itself, where dare to send troops? Their elite are concentrated in the west to guard against Rome, and the border is full of old, weak, sick and disabled, so there is no need to care. It's the Han people, so we must pay more attention to it recently. Send more people to Hantu to inquire about the news, I always have a sense of foreboding. I'm afraid that His Majesty the Great Chu Emperor will not let us go so easily. Dilian said with a little worry.
