Chapter 200 Yuezhi Royal Court

Chapter 200 Yuezhi Royal Court
"Hasn't Chen Yu come yet?" Zhang Er asked standing on a hill in the frontier of the Dayue Clan.

Several scouts went to inquire, but there was still no news. The two hundred light cavalry led by Chen Yu seemed to have evaporated.

Chen Yu and Zhang Er have agreed to meet at Boluo Kenu Mountain, the northern branch of the Tianshan Mountains, on ten days.

It's just that Chen Yu didn't arrive for a long time. Zhang Er felt that with Chen Yu's wisdom, he would not be arrested by King Youxian of the Huns.

Zhang Er ordered to wait for another three days, but the information that came was that Chen Yu was arrested by the Xiongnu and brought to the royal court. Zhang Er was shocked.

Chen Yu reckoned that there was more danger than good, and that if he entered the wolf's den, it would not be so easy to escape from the wolf's den if he did not kill the wolves.

The army has been delayed for three days and can't wait any longer. I just hope that Chen Yu can walk away from the court of the Huns and save his life!

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Er swung his halberd and shouted hysterically: "Advance into the Yili River, go to the Yuezhi royal court, and lobby the Yuezhi king."

Two hundred light cavalry crossed Porokonu Mountain and entered the Yili River Basin.

After being repulsed by the Huns, the Da Yue clan came to live in the Ili River Basin, which is roughly equivalent to the section between the northern branch of the Tianshan Mountains, the Boluo Kenu Mountain, and the southern branch of the Harke Mountains, which is the mountain section with the richest water resources in China. Provide a steady stream of natural water for Da Yuezhi.

The Yuezhi abandoned the Hexi Corridor and came from the Ili River because of helplessness. The once magnificent city was forcibly occupied by the Huns.

It was late winter, and it was freezing cold, making the hands of King Yuezhi in the royal court stiff and difficult to stretch.

King Yuezhi also reminded himself every morning, and said in a cold tone: "King Yuezhi, your people were bullied by the Huns, you have to bear the humiliation, remember the humiliation of the year, and one day the Yueshi will become stronger, and then drive the Huns out." Homeland, restore the glory of Yueshi!"

King Yuezhi suddenly clenched his fists, his teeth were clenched and his eyes were cold.

Mao Dun, please remember that you need to pay the price of life for invading other people's homes!

Yuezhi has been looking for a sharp edge against the Huns, but the country that used to be an enemy of the Huns has been conquered by Modu, where can they find companions to fight against the Huns?
The Yuezhi king who had just got up was taking a sip of warm water to warm his body, when suddenly a scout came to report, and a troop suddenly appeared outside the king's court.

King Yuezhi was dumbfounded, so frightened that he vomited out all the water he drank, and was about to issue an edict to mobilize the royal army to fight.

But Yuezhi Wang's subordinates said: "Your Majesty, the information shows that this army only has 200 people, and 200 people are not enough to invade the royal court!"

Only then did King Yueshi heave a sigh of relief, and said lightly: "It seems to be a foreign envoy, come and check it out!"

The fierce cold wind whizzed in, making the banners flutter, and the cold wind hit Zhang Er's black armor fiercely, but Zhang Er's heart was on fire, and he didn't feel any pain at all.

Zhang Er's light armor was covered with frost, but an uncontrollable joy rippled on Zhang Er's face.

Just as excited as he was, there were two hundred Qin cavalry, and a large banner with white letters on a black background, with the word "Qin" fluttering in the wind.

When he learned that the Qin envoy was here, King Yuezhi did not dare to neglect him. Da Qin was a powerful country and could not be bullied. Even the Xiongnu had to be courteous and even lowered their profile and signed an alliance with Da Qin.

King Yuezhi summoned the ministers in the royal court and [-] Yuezhi soldiers, and went out of the royal court ten li to meet him.

The Yuezhi Kingdom was not as powerful as imagined. Although it was a kingdom, its strength was not as strong as that of a county in Qin. Therefore, the Yuezhi King used superior etiquette when meeting Qin.

Hundreds of officials and soldiers followed closely to salute. Zhang Er, who had never seen this scene before, bowed deeply to King Yuezhi, and then ordered the translator to reply: "Emissary of Great Qin, pay homage to King Yueshi."

King Yuezhi said slowly: "A small country with few people can't bear the envoys of the kingdom of heaven to worship!"

Immediately, King Yuezhi returned to the royal court with Zhang Er and two hundred cavalry, and the common people and soldiers outside the royal court danced to express their welcome to the envoys of the State of Qin.

After stepping into the royal court, Zhang Er looked serious, and solemnly took out the bronze token and a royal edict.

King Yuezhi picked up the imperial edict from Zhang Er's hand and touched the imperial edict made of silk, King Yueshi was completely stunned.

This kind of silk has never been seen before. In the past, silk was only worn by nobles.

Only Qin Wangzheng is worthy of possessing the finest golden dragon silk silk.

King Yuezhi felt an inexplicable strong pressure on his back, and under the extremely strong sense of expectation, he slowly unfolded the solemn and sacred edict.

After quickly looking at the content of the edict, King Yueshi showed a happy smile, his stiff face was no longer tense, and he slapped the wooden table immediately, and said loudly: "It's exactly what I want!"

Zhang Er also bowed his body, and said slowly: "For more than a hundred years, the Xiongnu often went south and harassed the Central Plains, causing the common people to live in poverty, and the frontiers were full of corpses."

"A few years ago, General Meng Tian led an army of 30 people to attack the Huns from the north and drove them back [-] miles. However, the Huns were determined to avenge themselves!"

"The new Shanyu Maodun is very ambitious. I wonder if he can unite with the Great Qin to defeat the Xiongnu?"

After the translation, many officials in the royal court showed smiles on their faces. In their hearts, Daqin has always been the kingdom of abundance. Cooperating with the kingdom of heaven and fighting against the Xiongnu is enough to avenge their hatred.

Therefore, many generals persuaded King Yuezhi and agreed to Da Qin's request. In the end, King Yuezhi made a decision: "The Yueshi and the Xiongnu have a feud. Many years ago, the Hun Youxian King invaded the Yuezhi and drove us out of the Hexi Corridor."

"The tribesmen were isolated and helpless, so they had no choice but to migrate to the Ili River Basin to settle."

"If there is the help of the Great Qin Heavenly Kingdom, our clan will be ashamed!"

The Yuezhi agreed decisively, and there were also many voices of opposition in the court. They just wanted to settle down in the Yili River, and they were easily persuaded by Zhang Er.

A quarter of an hour later, there were no more objections in the court, and they all shouted in unison: "Attack the Xiongnu from both sides and avenge our previous humiliation!"

A faint smile appeared on Zhang Er's face, and his task was basically completed.

With the support of Da Yuezhi as reinforcements, the chances of repelling the Huns will be significantly improved.

But Zhang Er did not take it lightly, Mao Dun Shanyu should not be underestimated, he must be a tough nut to crack.

The Yuezhi Kingdom was repelled several times by the Xiongnu and was forced to relocate. The national power had been greatly depleted and it was difficult to dispatch troops. It was only used as an alliance to deter the Xiongnu.

The Xiongnu feared the Yuezhi Kingdom, so they would not dare to take risks easily.

If there is a crisis in the Central Plains, King Yuezhi can also be notified for reinforcements.

Of course, the main force against the Huns is still the Great Qin Tigers and Wolves!

As for the specific strategic plan, the news of the Yuezhi's aid to the Qin Dynasty needs to be informed to the King of Qin before it can be formulated.

After staying in the Yuezhi Kingdom for three days, the two hundred cavalry were reorganized and the food and grass were prepared. The Yuezhi King proposed to send two thousand cavalry to escort Zhang Er, but Zhang Er politely refused.

The two thousand cavalry seemed to be escorting, but in fact it added a burden to Zhang Er, and may also attract Mao Dun's eyes. The Yuezhi Xiongnu might start a war in advance, which would be detrimental to the Qin Dynasty.

So, Zhang Er led two hundred cavalry back on the same road, but when he was about to reach the Hetao grassland, a group of crossbowmen suddenly appeared in the hazy valley, and their arrows were pointing at Zhang Er's army.
