After more than ten days of long journey and galloping day and night.

Li Ling finally arrived at the Rizhu King Camp on the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains in late July.

For the current Huns, the status and importance of Tianshan Mountain are no less than that of the Holy Mountain Langjuxu Mountain!

Its status is still on the Junji Mountain, which strangled the Huns into and out of the northern Moon and Yanran Mountain, which protected the herders in the northern Moon.

This is not only because the Huns successfully retreated and defeated the strategic attempts of the Han people in the main battle north of the Tianshan Mountains.

Moreover, this mountain controls the lifeline of the Xiongnu’s Western Regions.

The towering Tianshan Mountains are like a giant dragon falling from the sky, dividing the farming and nomadic areas of the Western Regions.

In the west, countless oasis and basins are moistened by the Nanhe River and the Beihe River (two ancient tributaries of the Tarim River).

In the east, there are arid areas composed of deserts, deserts, Gobi and a few oasis (at this time, the Hami Oasis has not yet been formed).

Therefore, Tianshan became the Tianwang Mountain on the battlefield of the Han and the Huns.

Whoever controls Tianshan will win the strategic initiative!

This is not only because of its geographical advantages, but also because whether the Huns wanted to support Cheshi and Pulei countries from both foothills of the Tianshan Mountains, or the Han army wanted to advance westward from Juyan, they had to face the test of the cruel Taklamakan Desert!

Therefore, the Han and the Hungarians surrounded the Tianshan Mountains and fought frequently in the past twenty years, and eventually ended with a bloody and cruel Tianshan Battle.

After the Battle of Tianshan, the Huns guaranteed control over the countries in the Western Regions.

The Han army retreated to Juyan and temporarily gave up the strategic plan to fight the main force of the Xiongnu in the Western Regions within a short period of time.

Instead, we began a long strategic layout, focusing on the Bailongdui area that controls the northern and southern foothills of the Tianshan Mountains and the pass of the Silk Road.

He planned to confront the Huns for a long time and consume them.

It erodes the power of the Huns little by little and consumes its national strength.

The Huns also changed their strategies and set up the Rizhu King in the Western Regions for the first time, imitating the establishment of the Shaofu organization of the Han Dynasty. They established the Dufuwei in Yanshe, Weixu, Qieshi, and other countries on the western foot of the Tianshan Mountains, and began the policy of riding fields.

From then on, the Huns turned from a simple nomadic empire to semi-nomadic and semi-agricultural.

Li Ling led more than a hundred personal guards to the place where King Rizhu was located at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains.

At the gate of the camp, the ancestors of the Rizhu King feared their civil and military officials, and the kings or representatives of the kings of the Western Regions, went out to their camps to welcome them.

"King Jiankun, I have heard of the great name for a long time, but I have always been reluctant to meet you. Today I will be very lucky!" In order to show my kindness, my wise men even wore a wide robe from the Han area, and their clothes were extremely elegant.

This is because he knew that if he wanted to become a Chanyu, he would sit firmly on the Chanyu throne and gain power.

Li Ling's support is indispensable, and it can even be said to be extremely critical.

Because, facts have proved how elite and powerful the tribal cavalry under King Jiankun were! In the war this spring and this summer, they drove the main force that was feared by the ancestors out of the two foothills of the Tianshan Mountains and controlled Kucha in just one month.

The mistake is not for Mobei to be in a hurry. At this moment, the wise man guessed that his head had become a collection of Hu Lu Gu.

Li Ling smiled slightly and stepped forward and bowed, "What kind of virtue is Xiao Wang? How dare you work to welcome Tu She's bride?"

But my eyes couldn't help but look at the clothes on Xianxian's body.

There is no doubt that the wise men's fear made Li Ling's favorable impression of him greatly!

After losing his troops to surrender to the enemy and experiencing disastrous changes in the family, Li Ling had already lost his heart to the Han Dynasty and was the Han minister.

But the education he received since childhood never allowed him to serve the barbarians.

He has heard of it since childhood and developed three views, but he did not allow him to be sent to Zuo Zi and join the Hu people.

Therefore, Li Ling's behavior and style of conduct in the Huns were easily understood.

If Wei Lu promotes reform, it is actually for power in the end.

However, Li Ling promoted reform and sinicization in order to eventually turn it into Xia.

Just like when Taibo entered Wu, although he was initially tattooed and had the same customs as the people of Wu, his descendants eventually turned Wu into a country with prosperous rituals and music in the summer.

It was also like Taigong entering Qi, and Dongyi became Xia.

In Li Ling's idea, as long as everything goes well, a hundred or even hundreds of years later, the Huns and Han will be the same.

Naturally, he can cleanse the stigma he bears with and his father and grandfather.

This way of thinking is difficult for later generations to understand, but it was very common in the classical era.

The wise men feared that Li Ling and his party would be brought into the king's tent, and immediately ordered people to bring wine and meat, and then asked: "King Jiankun came from the north of the desert in such a hurry, but what's the big deal?"

Li Ling did not hide it and replied directly: "Reporting to Tu She, Xiao Wang is here to ask Tu She to save the tribes in Mobei!"

"The cold winter is coming soon, but the livestock in the northern part of the desert have not grown fat. In this cold winter, I am afraid that people and animals will lose too much..."

"So, please put the overall situation first, transport the grain obtained from the cavalry in the Western Regions to the northern desert to help the same tribe..."

The old wise listened fearfully and smiled slightly on his face.

But his subordinates all jumped up and sarcastically said, "Is it our responsibility to not raise fat in the livestock in Mobei Province?"

"Who started to mobilize people to siege and force our lord to slaughter the shepherd since last year?"

Someone even threatened directly: "It is very simple to make us agree, let Hu Lu Gu immediately abdicate and give up the throne, and give up the position of Shanyu to the great Tushe. The heaven, earth, sun and moon, the Zuo Xian King of the Huns!"

However, Li Ling had no hearing on these people's words.

He just looked at the wise men, took a step forward, and asked: "Pu She should put the overall situation first and save hundreds of thousands of herders in Mobei from the fire and water!"

"In this way, in the future, Tu She ascended the throne, and only then can he convince people and make all tribes surrender!"

"Otherwise, the people and clans of all tribes may have to..."

The wise man stood up with a smile, looked at Li Ling, stared at him, and suddenly said: "Of course, Tu She will not ignore the situation of the tribes in Mobei!"

He naturally knew the things about Mobei.

He may even know better than Li Ling how bad the situation is.

He also understood that in fact, he could be saved even if he saved, and if he didn't!

Otherwise, would you have to watch the tribes in Mobei freeze to death and starve to death in the cold wind?

Without a population, what's the point of even if he sits in the Shanyu position?

Dominate the air?

He knew better that he could still be king and dominate the Western Regions and act as a blessing. The main shock still came from his identity as King Rizhu of the Huns.

If the Huns are weak, his deterrent power of King Rizhu in the Western Regions will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, Li Ling's arrival and request for help were even a good thing for him.
