After having a meal, Ma Yuan left Yumen Pass in the afternoon.

After leaving Yumen Pass and heading to the Western Regions, we soon met with the Linzi camp spies who arrived in Liuzhongcheng and started their own operations.

This was early June of the fourth year of Yande.

Around late June, news of unknown origin suddenly spread in the territory of Wusun Dakunmi.

Little Kunmi Atami is planning to send someone to Luoyang with gifts, ask for marriage to Emperor Wei, Guo Peng, and marry the princess. He is willing to be the son-in-law of China, guard the borders of the Western Regions for China, and always be a vassal.

The news spread very quickly. Although I don’t know where the source was, it soon reached the ears of Da Kunmi Xinlimi.

Xinlimi inherited the status of Da Kunmi for only two years, and was only in his twenties. He was still a young Da Kunmi.

Compared to Atami, who had ascended the throne for more than ten years in his forties, his ruling foundation is not so solid.

Therefore, when he first inherited his father's status, a thousand families in the Great Kunmi territory were lured by Atami and moved to Atami's Xiao Kunmi territory, which made Xinlimi very angry. He once led his troops to question the crime, but the two armies could not stand up.

Later, there were elders from both sides of Kunmi, both sides of the world and mediated for the two, saying that they were both from Wusun, and there were differences between big and small Kunmi, but there should not be differences between us.

Xiao Kunmi is a bit unreasonable in his work and should apologize. Da Kunmi should not be in full swing, both sides are wrong.

In the end, Xiao Kunmi gave Da Kunmi 3,000 cattle and sheep each as a plea, while the 1,000 households lost by Da Kunmi belonged to Xiao Kunmi.

It is obvious that Xinlimi suffered a loss.

Xinlimi is not unwilling to take revenge. In fact, Atami's military strength is stronger than him and has more prestige.

He was not long after he ascended the throne, and was still young and had insufficient prestige. If he really wanted to fight, it was estimated that Da Kunmi's subordinates might not be willing to fight for Xinliu.

After feeling internal doubts and weakness, the veterans of Xinlimi's father came forward to find the elderly people on Atami to do crisis public relations and launch a diplomatic offensive.

Finally, he forced himself to save some face for Xinlimi, otherwise if the fight really started, Xinlimi would be defeated.

However, after this incident, some of Da Kunmi's subordinates directly believed that Xinlimi was weak and not a hero who could rely on, and developed distrust of him.

This cannot be blamed on Xinlimi, as the big and small Kunmi has had some problems since its birth.

The Great Kunmi was established completely with the support of the Han Empire, which was equivalent to the servant regime and the puppet regime of the Han Empire.

The Han Empire originally intended to be the first Da Kunmi to be the leader of Wusun, but the Wusun people refused to admit it and resisted it strongly, so they had no choice but torture Kunmi.

However, because the appearance of Da Kunmi relies on the prestige and coercive power of the Han Empire, Xiao Kunmi is the real Wusun Lord in the hearts of the Wusun people. Therefore, although Da Kunmi is powerful, Xiao Kunmi has someone to think of.

For hundreds of years, conflicts between Kunmi and Kunmi have been constantly occurring, and disputes have occurred frequently. However, the moral disadvantages of Kunmi have been throughout the world, while the moral advantages of the young Kunmi have traditional moral advantages.

Over the years, the power of Da Kunmi has actually been weakening, but Xiao Kunmi is increasing. The population of Da Kunmi is almost the same, and Xiao Kunmi has vaguely gained the upper hand.

Because of this, when the Wei Empire returned to the Western Regions, Da Kunmi was more active and proactive than Xiao Kunmi.

Xinlimi is planning how to use the prestige of the Wei Empire to gain benefits for itself.

For this reason, I also gave Princess Jieyou's bloodline, which I had no idea whether there was any, just to make some benefits from the Wei Empire.

As a result, I suddenly heard that Xiao Kunmi Atami was actually going to send someone to Luoyang to marry the princess of Wei, and to become a country of father-in-law and son-in-law with Wei, and to guard the border forever for Wei.

As soon as the news reached Xinlimi, Xinlimi was shocked.

He immediately found the elders in the clan and discussed the matter with the elders in the clan.

The incident happened suddenly, and the elders in the clan were also very surprised. After careful inquiring, they found that the news could not be found in the specific source, so they inexplicably spread, and they expressed doubts about it.

"I only know that Emperor Wei has appointed the prince. I have never heard of Emperor Wei as a princess. Who is Atami asking for marriage? Is this news true? Isn't it a rumor?"

A respected elder put forward his own opinion.

This view is agreed by everyone. I think the news is not reliable and we should further investigate the source of the news so that we can determine whether it is true.

Xinlimi seems a little impatient.

"I will send someone to check it out immediately, but whether this news is confirmed or not, we must make preparations. If Atami really has that plan, no matter what, he cannot let him go to Luoyang!"

Xinlimi's eyes were shining with cold light, and her words were full of murderous intent.

Some people expressed concern about this, but they didn't know how to refute Xinlimi.

It has been a day or two for the people in the Dakunmi territory to be in poor condition. The foundation was unstable when they first started their careers. If they could not hold on to the thick legs of the Wei Empire, their future prospects would be worrying.

If Atami is hugged by the Wei Empire, the situation will be even more dangerous. The big and small Kunmi's transfer is small, and life and death are big.

Although it is said to the outside world that Kunmi is a family, it really needs to become a family...

Who is willing to give up his current status and power?

There has always been a unified voice within, but this voice cannot resist the leadership of both sides.

Neither leadership of both sides is willing to lose vested interests and become victims under the unified framework.

Therefore, unless the war determines the outcome, unification does not exist.

Everyone should know this, so no one will object to this, nor do they know how to object.

Xinlimi fell, and they had no good results.

So Xinlimi began to prepare for both ways, while investigating the source and authenticity of the news, while secretly preparing a team.

If necessary, set out to Luoyang first and wait for an opportunity to harm and even intercept Atami's proposing team - if that's true.

And in Xinlimi's heart, a bold idea has appeared.

Regardless of whether this matter is true or false, he has decided to start planning.

Almost exactly the same thing happened in Xiao Kunmi's territory. It began at some point or where it began. News that Da Kunmi was about to send someone to Luoyang to propose marriage to Emperor Wei.

Atami immediately convened a meeting to discuss the matter and made a decision that was almost exactly the same as Xinlimi.

The difference is that Da Kunmi's innate advantage in this matter made Atami difficult.

In order to please the Wei Kingdom, Xinlimi claimed that he was a descendant of Princess Jieyou, and had the blood of the Han family. He was a family hundreds of years ago, so as to win the favor of the Wei Kingdom's business travelers.

Attami really wanted to kill him at that time.

This matter is very important, and you cannot act recklessly, nor can you start a war at will.

Although Atami has an advantage in the military level, Xinlimi is not without the power to fight back, and the strength of the two sides is not much different.

So Atami's plan was to take advantage of his own advantages and continue to bleed Xinlimi through long-term small-scale frictions and disputes, making him constantly weak and weak.

When the time comes, we will eliminate the newly powerful forces in one fell swoop and complete the unification of Wusun.

But who knew that a fierce Wei Empire would emerge halfway.

The Wei Empire's strategy of returning to the Western Regions became the biggest uncontrollable variable of Atami's plan. He could control his subordinates and even influence some surrounding countries, but he could not affect the Wei Empire anyway.

So the situation became unfavorable to him.

Xinlimi was ecstatic when the Wei Empire returned to the Western Regions and sent people to worship the Emperor Wei almost the first time, striving to become a vassal state and return to the embrace of the father of the Central Empire.

In anger, Atami had to follow the crowd and become a vassal state of Emperor Wei, otherwise he would be unable to do anything once he was isolated.

Maybe then, Xinlimi will join forces with other countries to target Atami, and that's all.

Although he had to become a vassal of Emperor Wei, Atami was not as "backboneless" as Xinlimi. He still never gave up on his plan to kill Xinlimi and unify Wusun.

Now suddenly I heard that Xinlimi was trying to propose marriage to Emperor Wei, and suddenly I felt something was wrong.

If he succeeds, it will be impossible for him to unify Wusun.

If he succeeds, the Wei Empire will definitely stand here with Da Kunmi to consolidate its relationship with Da Kunmi, support Da Kunmi, and suppress itself. Once a war starts, it will inevitably be interfered by the Wei Empire.

He really has no confidence to fight against the Wei Empire.

So Atami hated Xinlimi very much, but had to be very afraid of him.

Now that he suddenly heard about this news, his decision was more determined than Xinlimi, faster, and faster to reach unification within.

Never let Xinlimi achieve this goal. If it really happens, so you must send someone to investigate the news immediately.

Second, even if this is not the case, Atami feels that it is necessary to start first, and no matter what, Xinlimi cannot do this.

Therefore, some people suggested that Atami immediately send elite cavalry to pieces and monitor the necessary route from Dakunmi territory to Luoyang. Once the marriage proposal team in Dakunmi territory is discovered, they will be detained and hindered immediately.

We must take the initiative!

But this doesn't seem to be enough.

Atami suddenly had a bold idea.

"He can do it, can't I?"

To prepare both hands, you must prepare both hands!

The wonderful message collision caused fluctuations that they themselves did not expect.

Soon, such fluctuations were detected by spies from both sides.

Not to mention the level of confidentiality, it is really important and terrifying to say that Mr. Guo targets technical protection in iron smelting, tea frying, papermaking and printing.

Compared with Mr. Guo’s confidentiality method of protecting technology, their confidentiality is to play house for children.

Soon, various abnormal actions of both sides were discovered by the other party and were transmitted back to the base camp of both sides. Both sides discussed the found news within the base camp.

They didn't know what the other's highest core of power said, but they knew clearly what they did afterwards.

Da Kunmi Xinlimi received information from the Xiao Kunmi territory.

He heard that Atami was mobilizing cavalry to parade frequently on their necessary route to Luoyang, called the protection of business travelers, and then they also sent more sentinels to the border areas of the two major regimes, as if they were nervously collecting intelligence before the war.

The others are that many big trucks are gathering towards the core of Atami's rule, with all kinds of supplies on them.

The same news was passed to Atami.

Atami learned that Xinlimi was sending people to the division between the two forces, and many material personnel were gathering from all over the place to Xinlimi's ruling core. I don't know what the purpose was, but it seemed something was wrong anyway.
