The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 164 The battle is on the verge of breaking out!
"At that time, if you advance, you can get a fief, adjacent to the Han Dynasty, and with the help of the power of the Han Dynasty, we can leverage each other's power. If you retreat, you can help the Shan Yu, remove the right king, and weaken the Xiongnu!"

"good!"

……

……

Erti already knew the news about the Han Dynasty's divine bird entering Dragon City, not to mention King Youxian, King Youxian, and King Zuoguli.

Therefore, not long after the Han envoy left, Erti, who was King Youguli, met his neighbor King Youxian on the pretext of visiting.

King Youxian of the Xiongnu is a middle-aged man, who is also young and strong. As King Youxian, the throne is inherited by his family and he has been the king for more than ten years.

When he was young and strong, he had ambitions in his heart.

Although King Youxian was wary of Erti, the Han King Youguli, he also deliberately made friends with him.

After all, he is a Han and can be named King Youguli. It is obvious that he has truly surrendered to the Huns and will never return to the Han Dynasty.

Moreover, Wang Erti, the king of right bone Li, was highly skilled in martial arts and very brave... In just a few years, he had nearly ten sons!
King Youxian and Erti were sitting by a bonfire, where a fragrant roasted whole lamb was being roasted. Erti took out a bamboo jar from his arms and said with great treasure:
"A few days ago, an envoy from the Han Dynasty came to my place and brought me a lot of fine wine, just to pray that I would not invade the Han Dynasty!"

"Among them, there is this thing..."

As he spoke, Erti took out some black powder and sprinkled it on the roasted whole lamb.

King Youxian immediately came to his senses from Erti's dozen sons, and then asked curiously: "What is this?"

"Sea fish powder!"

"Using this product to make soup and barbecue will be more delicious!"

"Sea fish powder?"

King Youxian expressed his incomprehension, and his eyes were wary.

Erti naturally saw this, and immediately stretched out his hand to tear off a large piece of meat from the roasted whole lamb, which had the black powder just sprinkled on it.

The golden and crispy roasted lamb is still dripping with juice, and the alluring aroma wafts into the nose, making people salivate.

Under the gaze of King Youxian, Erti ate directly.

"Yeah~, fresh!"

“It’s really delicious!”

Seeing Er Ti's intoxicated expression, King Youxian couldn't help it, and he also tore off a piece of meat, which also had black powder on it.

After swallowing it in a big mouth, King Youxian’s pupils suddenly dilated!

The roasted lamb in his hands was more delicious than any roasted lamb he had ever tasted, it was unbelievable to him!
It felt like everything I had ever eaten was just a pile of cow dung and I couldn’t eat it!

But now, it is simply delicious!
Suddenly, the vigilance in King Youxian's eyes finally disappeared when he looked at Erti.

A few days ago, an envoy from the Han Dynasty went to Erti. How could he not know about it?
After all, if the envoy of the Han Dynasty went to Er Ti's fiefdom, he had to pass through his territory, so he knew every move of Er Ti and the Han Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, this time, the other party actually took the initiative to tell this matter. Obviously, there was no conspiracy between King Right Bone Li and the big man.

Moreover, he actually took out such a delicious thing and shared it with himself, which instantly made his affection for Erti skyrocket!

"What's this name? Why does sprinkling it on meat make the meat more delicious?!"

King Youxian looked searching, but his eyes were fixed on the bamboo pot in Erti's hand.

Seeing this, Erti smiled in his heart, but pretended to be mysterious on his face: "You also know that I was once a Han, and I once tasted so many delicacies in Chang'an, the capital of the Han Dynasty!"

"really?!"

Hearing Er Ti's words, King Youxian looked envious, and at the same time, he was full of yearning.

Erti continued: "This thing is a kind of sea vegetable taken from the sea. After it is dried, other seafood is added, and after careful preparation, it becomes this kind of thing!"

“The spices from the Western Region are so useful!”

"Such a good thing, we are neighbors, how could you not give me a jar?!"

King Youxian asked for it.

"Everything is easy to say!"

Erti's face immediately showed a look of pain, he took out a new can from his arms and said: "The Han people only brought me two cans this time, so I will give you one..."

"Thank you!"

Next, the relationship between the two became closer, eating meat and drinking heavily. As time passed, King Youxian gradually became drunk.

Seeing that the time had come, Erti asked, "I wonder if King Youxian has heard the news from the royal court?"

"You mean... the divine bird?!"

As soon as he heard Erti's words, King Youxian immediately thought of the rumors about the divine bird.

"That's right!"

Erti nodded, and then said with a strange expression: "I didn't expect this magical bird to actually exist. I only saw it in history books..."

Later, Erti told King Youxian about the magical features of the divine bird, and King Youxian was dumbfounded.

"The divine bird...is it really so magical?"

"nature!"

Erti nodded, and then said with regret: "The divine bird only favors the bravest warriors, but today's big orders use conspiracy and tricks to get Shan Yu's position. I'm afraid... they are not the bravest people!"

Hearing this, King Youxian's drunkenness dissipated a little, and then he showed a thoughtful look, "You are right, this sacred bird is obtained by the bravest, how can it be obtained by Yizhixie?"

"Speaking of which, I'm still Yi Zhixie's uncle! After he became a Chanyu, he hasn't sent me any cattle, sheep or property!"

King Youxian was worried about it. After Erti's suggestion, he suddenly remembered all the old and new accounts.

However, King Youxian is the King Youxian of the Huns after all. To be able to become the king among so many Huns, he must not be a simple-minded person.

Therefore, I did not impulsively say too many unpleasant words to Yi Zhixie.

Erti knew that it was enough to say this, so he changed the subject and said: "But I am very satisfied with my current life. I live leisurely on the grassland every day without having to worry about anything big!"

"Being a great single is too tiring. Although there are thousands of warriors around you, more than ten thousand people, you have also lost your freedom!"

Erti said while finishing the glass of wine.

Although they were words of self-satisfaction, they were particularly dazzling in the ears of King Youxian.

Is the Xiongnu Great Chanyu too tired?
Above ten thousand people?

Surrounded by thousands of warriors?

Is this painful?
Do not!
This is glory!

Who doesn’t want to get it! ?

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention. This makes King Youxian even more restless.

He looked at Er Ti who was self-satisfied. He did not doubt Er Ti, but his own eyes became gloomy.

Time passed, and although the scenery on the grassland was still as beautiful as usual, there was an undercurrent surging.

The news that the divine bird had entered the Xiongnu had spread throughout the Xiongnu, and it was also known that the divine bird only favored the bravest warriors.

In fact, as time went by, the rumors became more diverse.

Among them, it is even said that today's Great Chanyu is not the bravest person, and is not worthy of becoming a Great Chanyu.

Yi Zhixie's Shanyu came to seize power!

There will be warriors to take their place in the future!
Later, you will be favored by the divine bird!

The Huns were nomadic and deeply envied the splendid civilization of the Han Dynasty in the south. They had heard a lot about the affairs of the southern China. Among them, the legend of the divine bird was known to almost all children with the arrival of the divine bird.The divine bird is destiny!

……

Dragon City.

In the palace, Yi Zhixie looked gloomy. He had naturally heard many rumors in the city, so he was so angry.

"Go, investigate carefully for me, where do these rumors come from!"

"Who spread it!"

"Don't let me find you, otherwise I will cut you into pieces!"

Yi Zhixie's face was filled with anger, but his eyes were looking at the divine bird sitting on the beams of the palace, his eyes full of impatience.

Since the divine bird came to the royal court, it has been staying on the palace beams and never came down.

And every day, he flew out of the palace and circled in a circle, visible to everyone in Dragon City.

It seems to be telling everyone in Dragon City: The Divine Bird is still in Dragon City, don’t forget it!
In the past few days, he took the initiative to approach the divine bird and gave orders to the divine bird, but the divine bird ignored him!

This made Yi Zhixie Shanyu extremely angry.

What the Divine Bird did was completely damaging his prestige as a great chanyu!
It seems that because of this, there are more and more rumors in the city, which are becoming more and more unfavorable to him.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhixie looked at the Hun soldiers aside and asked, "How is the Han envoy?"

"Reporting to Shanyu, the envoys of the Han Dynasty were locked in the camp. They were given meals every day and were not allowed to step out of the camp!"

Hearing this, Yi Zhixie's expression paused, and then he ruled out the possibility of the Han envoy spreading rumors.

Then, he said: "Go and bring the Han envoys here. It seems that we need to let them leave as soon as possible!"

As long as the Han envoy leaves, the deal between him and the Han will be concluded. In a sense, the sacred bird truly belongs to him, the Huns!

Do not!
It belongs to him Yi Zhixie!
After a moment, the Han envoy was brought into the palace again, with Zhang Qian wearing armor walking at the front.

When Yi Zhixie saw Zhang Qian, he did not show any anger. He just had a business-like attitude and said to them: "This Shanyu has already considered signing an alliance with you big man. After that, this sacred bird will truly belong to I’m a Hun!”

"nature!"

Zhang Qian nodded and said: "As long as the divine bird is with you Xiongnu, it will naturally belong to you Xiongnu!"

"it is good!"

Hearing this, Yi Zhi nodded obliquely, and then said: "Then sign the covenant!"

"I, the big man, have already drafted the signing of this covenant, and I would like to ask Shanyu to take a look at it!"

Immediately afterwards, from the Han envoy's side, a middle-aged man in civilian uniform came out and handed a letter of alliance to Yi Zhixie.

Yi Zhi took the alliance letter diagonally and began to read it carefully.

"After I, the Xiongnu, obtain the sacred bird, I shall not intrude on the borders of the Han Dynasty again, or harm the people of the Han Dynasty..."

When Yi Zhixie saw the regulations in the alliance letter, he immediately expressed no objection, then took the pen and ink on the side, signed his name immediately, and at the same time stamped the seal of the Xiongnu Chanyu.

Seeing this, Zhang Qian immediately showed a satisfied smile.

As for the alliance documents, they were all restraints on the Huns, which simply did not allow the Huns to attack the Han again.

As for the Han Dynasty, he only wrote about sending the sacred bird to the Xiongnu!

But it didn’t say that the Han Dynasty was not allowed to attack the Xiongnu...

Obviously, Yi Zhixie Chanyu did not think that the Han dared to attack the Xiongnu, so he signed the alliance with such confidence.

Zhang Qian could feel that Yi Zhixie seemed to be very eager to let them leave the Han Dynasty as soon as possible. In this way, Zhang Qian also understood that his plan had been completed.

I'm afraid that the affairs within the Huns have already given Yi Zhixian a headache, and he no longer has the energy to fight against the big Han.

Seeing this, Zhang Qian collected the alliance letter and then said to Yizhi Xie Shanyu above: "In this case, we will return to Dahan today!"

"Can!"

Yi Zhixie nodded without saying much, not even a harsh word.

In this way, Zhang Qian and other Han envoys successfully left the Xiongnu court and started their return journey with the original envoys.

"I dare to ask Bowang Hou, I wonder if the Xiongnu will really go as planned..."

On the way, an official looked at Zhang Qian who was riding a horse and asked.

They have been imprisoned in Dragon City until now and have no idea about the situation outside.

"The Huns... are already in chaos..."

Zhang Qian looked back at the Xiongnu Royal Court with a smile on his face.

……

……

Big man.

Chang'an City.

Zhang Qian has been back from the Xiongnu for nearly ten days. During these ten days, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che has mobilized the country's elite to march troops to the border.

At the same time, many scouts were sent deep into the grasslands to observe the situation of the Xiongnu.

As long as the Huns fall into chaos, the Han can take advantage of the situation and attack the Huns!
"In this battle, I will definitely drive the Xiongnu into the wilderness of Mobei!"

"Let the Huns not dare to take another step south!"

In the Weiyang Palace, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che looked at the ministers with a solemn expression.

"Your Majesty, General Wei Qing and General Li Guang should have arrived at the border by now. As long as there is an incident with the Huns, they can send troops!"

Dou Ying suddenly stepped out of the queue.

"good!"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che nodded. He was sitting on the throne, wearing an emperor's crown, with a majestic face and domineering look.

"Send someone to tell them that if the matter is urgent, you can do it easily and there is no need to send someone to Chang'an to ask for help!"

Speaking of this, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che hesitated for a moment, turned his eyes, and looked at Zhang Qian aside, saying: "Where is Bowang Hou?"

"Chen is here!"

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che called him, Bowang Hou Zhang Qian immediately came out.

"You have been to the Western Regions and the Huns. You are most familiar with the roads of the Huns, and you are skilled in martial arts. Therefore, you set off immediately to the border and serve as a deputy general in Li Guang's army!"

"only!"

Zhang Qian took the order.

Zhang Qian also agreed very much with the arrangements made by Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Not to mention that I have confirmed the route of the Xiongnu, if the army penetrates deeply into the Xiongnu, it will save a lot of trouble.

Secondly, I also want to go to the scene and make contributions. Maybe I can also see my brother Erti among the Xiongnu.

Calculating carefully, he had not seen his brother Erti for five or six years.

I wonder how he lived in the Huns.

As orders were arranged one after another, the imperial machine of the Han Dynasty started running wildly. A large number of soldiers were arranged at the border. At the same time, a large amount of grain and grass were quickly transported to the north.

The war is about to start!
