The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 163 The divine bird only favors the bravest warriors!
"What did you say?!"

Sure enough, after hearing the words of the Huns envoy, Yi Zhixie Shanyu was even more shocked, and looked at the divine bird with even more anticipation.

In fact, his hands couldn't help but tremble, and his inner excitement couldn't be suppressed, which directly caused a violent reaction in his body.

"hiss……"

He took a deep breath, trying his best to calm down his excitement, and then looked at the divine bird above the floating palace, trying to keep a calm expression.

“I haven’t seen His Majesty the Divine Bird yet!!”

At this moment, the Han envoy on the side reminded Yi Zhixie of Chanyu.

"Ok?"

Yi Zhixie looked confused, not knowing what the Han envoy meant.

Therefore, the envoy of the Han Dynasty explained again: "The divine bird has existed since ancient times. It was named the national bird of the Qin Dynasty during the Qin Dynasty. It is respected by the whole world. Doesn't Shanyu think that the divine bird is noble?"

"If the Chanyu doesn't think so, I'm afraid the sacred bird will not stop in the Xiongnu!"

"Don't you want to stay with the Xiongnu? As long as I think about it, the sacred bird will be my belongings to the Xiongnu!"

However, Yi Zhixie did not take it seriously and did not take the Han envoy's words to heart.

However, the next moment, the divine bird that was still in the floating palace suddenly disappeared. Immediately afterwards, the divine light all over the palace instantly dispersed and returned to its original appearance.

"Where is the divine bird?! Where has the divine bird gone?!"

Yi Zhixie Chanyu and a group of Huns immediately panicked and looked around hurriedly.

"The divine bird is wise. Chanyu's disrespectful words just now made the divine bird unhappy!"

The Han envoy explained in due course.

"The divine bird is wise..."

At this time, Yi Zhixie Shanyu finally reacted and thought of the meaning contained in this sentence, which made him regret it too late.

However, just at this moment, a soldier came in from outside and reported: "Tell Chanyu, a divine bird was found outside the palace!"

"Outside the palace?!"

Hearing this, Yi Zhixie Shanyu quickly walked out of the palace, and sure enough, he saw a divine bird floating in the sky above the palace, which could be seen by the soldiers and civilians in Dragon City.

"Divine bird?"

"That's the big man's divine bird!"

"Today the great Han divine bird came to the Xiongnu!"

"The divine bird actually looks like this..."

"..."

A large number of Huns looked up and watched with surprise on their faces.

"what is that?!"

Of course, some people didn't recognize it as the Great Han Divine Bird, so they asked their companions with doubts.

After hearing his companion's explanation, he immediately looked at the divine bird in the sky with a shocked expression, dumbfounded.

For a moment, almost everyone in the entire Dragon City could see the divine bird in the sky. They thought of their Shanyu asking the big man for the divine bird, and suddenly understood that the divine bird had come to the Xiongnu!
With excitement on their faces, they slowly gathered outside the palace where Shanyu was, looking at the divine bird in the sky, and seemed to be looking at Yi Zhixie Shanyu who had already walked out of the palace. Pay homage and worship.

Seeing that his subjects were so respectful to him, Yi Zhixie looked happy on his face.

He had previously obtained the Shan Yu position from his elder brother, but many people opposed him.

After he convinced people with reason, no one opposed him at this moment.

"Hahaha……"

Thinking of this, he smiled cheerfully.

Then he sent someone to maintain order and make everyone quiet down, and then he said loudly: "Everyone saw it right, the thing in the sky is the Han's sacred bird, and at this moment, he belongs to me, the Huns!"

As Yi Zhixie Chanyu's words reached everyone's ears, the Huns below suddenly let out excited cheers. The sound was deafening, and the horses in the distance couldn't help but neigh.

"And now, the envoy of the Han Dynasty is here, so let the envoy of the Han Dynasty introduce this magical bird to everyone!"

Yi Zhixie's heart moved, intending to embarrass the Han envoy, and even more so to belittle the Han envoy, and then gave up his position to the Han envoy beside him.

The envoys of the Han Dynasty were very satisfied when they saw this. They were worried about how to split the Xiongnu, but they did not expect that Yi Zhixie Shanyu took the initiative to give them a chance.

So, he didn't hesitate when he saw a civil servant, and then strode to the place where Yizhi Xie Shanyu was standing just now.

Then he said loudly in Chinese: "Yes, this is the sacred bird of the Han Dynasty. The sacred bird is magical and symbolizes destiny!"

On the side, there were also surrendered Han people who translated for the Huns.

Yi Zhixie Chanyu on the side heard this and showed a more satisfied look on his face. Only in this way can he show his wisdom and bravery as the Great Chanyu of the Huns.

However, something was wrong when I heard the Han envoy’s next words:

"The divine bird represents destiny. Only the bravest warriors on the grassland can be favored by the divine bird, and the person favored by the divine bird is the Great Chanyu of the Huns!"

Hearing this, the smile on Yi Zhixie's face froze, and then he looked sharply at the Han envoy who was speaking, and then signaled to a Hun general on the side. The Hun general immediately stepped forward and pulled the Han envoy who was speaking. Go down.

However, the Huns below had heard what the Han envoy said, and there was an uproar.

What does it mean?
"What did the Han envoy say just now?"

"He said that only the bravest warriors on the grassland can win the favor of the divine bird!"

"Then Shanyu..."

Today's Chanyu is not necessarily the bravest warrior on the grassland!
A true warrior is more than just physical bravery.You must also have great wisdom!

Otherwise, how could we lead the Xiongnu to be strong forever? !
For a moment, the Huns below became a little silent. They were still thinking carefully about the words of the Han envoy just now. At the same time, they looked up at the sacred bird that was still circling in the sky.

The magical bird is so magical, how can it not be loved? !
How can you not want to get it?

The eagle on the grassland is nothing more than that!

Immediately, what happened in Dragon City spread out instantly, spread to various tribes of the Huns, and became known.

On the other side, the Han envoys who were pulled down by the Huns were driven into the palace. Seeing this, Zhang Qian, wearing armor and holding a sword in his hand, stood directly in front of the envoys. Then he looked at the Huns and said, "You still Please be respectful!”

"The two armies are fighting, don't kill the envoy!"

"When the two armies are fighting, you don't kill the envoys. That's the principle of you Han people. Moreover, I, the Huns, will not kill you Han people easily..."

A Huns smiled disdainfully, and then pushed a Han envoy.

"and many more!"

At this moment, Yi Zhixie Chanyu suddenly called out to the Huns soldiers, and then walked towards Zhang Qian, who was wearing armor, and kept scanning Zhang Qian with his sharp eyes.

"Are you...that Han?!"

"Zhang Qian!"

At this moment, Yi Zhixie Chanyu finally recognized Zhang Qian in armor. For a moment, an inexplicable look appeared on his face, and then, a deep anger appeared on his face!
Because, he thought of his previous defeat by Zhang Qian.

at the same time.It corresponds to the words of the Han envoy just now, "Only the bravest warriors can win the favor of the divine bird"!
He, a great Chanyu of the Huns, could not even defeat a general of the Han Dynasty!
At the same time, he thought of Erti, who was already the king of Xiongnu, and an unknown fire surged in his heart! "Yes, it's me!"

Zhang Qian looked directly at Yizhi Xie Shanyu without timidity, neither humble nor arrogant.

Zhang Qian's appearance made Yi Zhixie Shanyu even more angry. He came to Zhang Qian and said: "I let you run away last time, but this time, I will never let you run away again!"

"Chanyu, don't forget, I am here this time as an envoy of the Han Dynasty!"

"As the saying goes, when two armies are fighting, don't kill the envoy! This is not only my Han rule, but also your rule!"

Zhang Qian knew how vicious Yi Zhixie was, so he couldn't help but remind him.

"Rules? Rules are meant to be broken!"

Yi Zhixie Shanyu ignored all that and directly ordered his soldiers to take the Han delegation into custody without even giving them enough courtesy.

Since Zhang Qian and Yi Zhixie Chanyu just spoke in Xiongnu dialect, the people in the Han envoy did not understand for a while, but the behavior of the Huns made them resist.

"What are you doing? My big man has already sent the divine bird over. You should abide by the agreement and sign the covenant as soon as possible!"

A Han envoy shouted loudly.

"Sign a covenant? Of course I understand, but I am not in the mood now!"

Then, Yi Zhixie waved his hand, and the Huns soldiers took the Han envoys away.

A group of people were placed in a simple tent, and then quickly gathered together to discuss the situation just now.

"Obviously, there is no peace within the Huns, and there is also a struggle for power!"

Zhang Qian analyzed: "Although Yizhixie Chanyu has obtained the Shanyu position at this time, people from other tribes must not recognize him as a Chanyu!"

"Besides, the position was not right in the first place! The appearance of the divine bird at this time just gave the others an excuse!"

Zhang Qian looked at the people on the side and said: "I'm afraid that the current Yizhixie Chanyu will not easily sign the alliance with the Han Dynasty. He wants to keep us dry for a while, and just in time, we can also use this period of time to spread the word in the Xiongnu royal court. The power of the divine bird..."

……

……

The vast grassland stretches as far as the eye can see, with cattle and sheep everywhere, spreading to the horizon.

Erti, the king of Youguli, was sitting on horseback, dressed in sheepskin and with a simple bun, looking like a Huns.

In just a few years, Erti had almost truly integrated into the Huns.

But behind him, there were hundreds of cavalry, which were his confidants.

He couldn't help but sigh when he thought about his experiences in the past few years.

Since he killed the military minister Shanyu, and Yi Zhixie launched a mutiny and directly took away his nephew's Shanyu position, of course, with his own strength, Yi Zhike would not seize power so easily. Therefore, Yi Zhixie originally Xiecai invited him to join the team.

As for the price, after success, Erti was granted the title of King Youguli and commanded the vast grasslands in the east of the Xiongnu!

As for the location, it was in the north of Yunzhong County of the Han Dynasty. Of course, there was King Youxian of the Xiongnu between them and the Han Dynasty.

Yi Zhixie is not a fool. It is impossible for Erti's fiefdom to be adjacent to the Han Dynasty. King Youxian is separated in the middle, which is considered to be wary of himself, King Youguli.

However, just in the past few days, he heard a piece of news coming from the royal court:

The Han divine bird has arrived at the royal court. The Han envoy said: Only the bravest warriors on the grassland can win the favor of the divine bird. Those who win the favor of the divine bird should have destiny!
During the Qin Dynasty, the Qin State was favored by the divine bird, so it unified the six kingdoms and achieved hegemony!

Such rumors immediately made Erti's eyes narrow.

"The intention of sowing discord is very obvious!"

Erti pondered for a while. Erti had naturally heard of the legend of the divine bird, and he subconsciously thought of his brother.

After all, his brother had been favored by the divine bird in the beginning.

"So, all this must be related to my brother!"

Thinking of this, Erti breathed a sigh of relief again.

But he didn't know the reason for this, and he couldn't act rashly.

Being on the grassland all day long was boring. Every day he could only herd cattle, train soldiers, hunt, or play with women, which made Erti feel particularly irritated.

At this moment, a Hun soldier came from afar and reported: "Go back to your Majesty, an envoy from the Han Dynasty has arrived!"

"Messenger of the Han Dynasty?"

When Erti heard this, he was immediately happy, but still said: "Why did the Han envoy come to my place?!"

"Go, go back and have a look!"

……

In a rather luxurious tent, Erti sat at the head of the tent, with Hun soldiers holding scimitars standing on both sides, looking with bright eyes at the Han envoy sitting below.

"I wonder what the purpose of the Han envoy coming this time is? Does he want to bring wine and women to me, the Xiongnu?!"

There were more than twenty Han envoys in total, three of whom were wearing Han official uniforms, and the rest were soldiers.

The leader was a man in his thirties. After hearing Erti's words, he was not angry. Instead, he said: "The foreign minister came here this time to bring wine and other things to the king. He just expected the king to Don’t intrude on my Han border!”

"Wine?"

Hearing the word "wine", Erti's eyes immediately lit up, and then he immediately arranged for the people behind him to say, "Go and check if the wine has been delivered, and taste it for me to see if it is delicious!"

"Yes!"

A Hun soldier immediately took the order and left.

At the same time, Erti saw several other Huns soldiers showing envy, and immediately waved his hands, "You guys can go too!"

"Thank you king!"

The last few Huns soldiers also showed smiles, thanked Erti seriously, and then walked out together.

Immediately, Erti and three Han envoys were the only ones in the camp.

After making sure there was no one else, Erti lowered his voice and said, "What news did you bring this time?"

"Good job, General Erti!"

The leader of the Han Dynasty envoy bowed his hand to Er Ti, and then said seriously: "The divine bird has entered the Xiongnu... to divide the Xiongnu!"

The Han envoy immediately told Er Ti the Han strategy, and Er Ti immediately showed excitement on his face and sighed:

"I've been waiting for this day for too long. It's so frustrating to be on this grassland!"

"The general's hard work has made great achievements. Your Majesty will remember the general in your heart!"

The envoy of the Han Dynasty comforted him, and then continued: "Next, the general only needs to contact King Youxian of the Xiongnu from time to time, and mention the matter of the sacred bird. It is best to make King Youxian of the Xiongnu feel disobedient to the Xiongnu Chanyu!"

"I understand!"

After Erti heard what the messenger said, he knew what the next plan would be.

"As long as King Youxian intends to compete for Shan Yu's position, the general can take advantage of it and take over King Youxian's fiefdom as his own. This will strengthen his body and make it easier to communicate with the big Han!"
