Chapter 1117 Dragon, Tiger, Jackal(1/2)
The changes in Dayuan touched the nerves of the Western Regions.
After General Yang of Han Ying ordered the advertisement of the Western Regions, the first thing he realized was the merchant.
A large number of Hu merchants heading west began to change to the Wusun route.
Even Kangju, Yuezhi, and Sindu business travelers who came from the Weishui River Basin began to reduce the number of entry into Dayuan.
The once prosperous Silk Road became depressed overnight.
There is no way, businessmen are groups who know how to seek profit and avoid harm.
Under the dark clouds of war, no fool is willing to continue to transit from Dayuan at the risk of being involved in the war.
The decrease in business travel was immediately noticed by the people of Dayuan.
After all, summer is the most prosperous season on the Silk Road.
Even in the past, when the Silk Road was pinned by the Huns, there were three to five teams of business travelers coming from the west of the Pamir Mountains and entering Dayuan every day.
They brought gold, treasures, wonders and news from afar.
And Wanren only needs to do one thing - prepare silk and can take these wealth into their pockets.
After all, few people are willing to continue to venture deep into the Far East to face the terrible and dangerous Huns.
But now, the number of caravans coming from the west has dropped to two per day.
As for the number of business travelers heading west, they fell to almost zero.
The people of Dayuan immediately became panicked.
Because, the same was true during the last Dayuan War.
The prosperous Silk Road was cut off overnight.
Then, the Han Dynasty cavalry appeared on the border, and then there was a long war that lasted for four years.
All the blood and tears of the Dayuan people were dried up.
Wealth was burned, the city was burned, the temple was pushed, the people were taken away, and eventually the king was killed and taken away.
In a panic, Wang Yincai of Wan ordered the convening of Wubao and cities in various places, and the enlargement of the corps.
The legions of Dayuan people are basically not much different from their ancestors.
They followed the way Alexander's army was formed.
The main force is a heavy infantry that uses a spear up to five meters long and is equipped with simple shields that can collapse on the arms.
These heavy infantry fight in the form of a phalanx, which is generally a combat array of sixteen times sixteen, which the Greeks called "squadrons".
During combat, the first five rows of soldiers in the squadron held their spears flat, while the soldiers behind the phalanx moved forward in turn, thus forming a hedgehog array that could almost be said to be invincible on the front. Whether it is attacking or defense, it will make the enemy very uncomfortable.
However, such a combat formation will be very uncomfortable when facing threats from the flanks and rear.
Therefore, during the Alexander period, the Macedonians reformed it.
Around the heavy infantry phalanx, add spears, shields, and stone throwers accompanying cavalry, and cover.
Generally speaking, Dayuan people are more accustomed to every five squadrons equipped with one squadron of cavalry, corresponding gun and shield soldiers, and stone throwers.
After the end of the Dayuan War, the Dayuan people eliminated the original gun-shield soldiers and stone-throwing soldiers, and instead covered the archer squadron and light infantry squadrons to provide mid-to-close firepower covering and restraint.
Therefore, the combat force of a legion of Dayuan people was about 1,600.
Among them, the spear heavy infantry is the main force, and the light cavalry, the archers and the light infantry are the auxiliary force.
With Yin Cai's order, the Dayuan Kingdom gathered six legions and a light cavalry army composed of Cypriot cavalry in Guishan City within a few days.
As these armies gathered, Yin Cai and his nobles finally felt a little secure.
At this time, the information from the Western Regions came late.
"So that's just that..." Yin Cai breathed a long sigh after reading the information, and relaxed: "That's okay!"
Expelled Dayuan's identity as a "member of the Han Dynasty" and declared Dayuan people an enemy?
What kind of punishment is this?
It's just a verbal trick, and it's probably not as lethal as a slingshot when a child plays house!
Yin Cai pursed her lips and started to laugh.
Immediately, he remembered something, immediately called his retainers and ordered him: "Send someone to recall the mission that has already set out and let them come back immediately!"
The mission to the Han Dynasty brought a total of 50,000 gold coins and a hundred sweat-sweating horses!
The stingy, stingy and complacent personality is fully displayed at this moment.
In Yin Cai's view, since the Han Dynasty had already declared that he and his country were "not Han officials", they regarded it as an enemy.
Then, BMW doesn’t need to send those gold coins.
Just take this opportunity to show your iron-blooded style and a macho style that will never surrender in front of your own citizens, especially the nobles and citizens, to win favorable feelings and consolidate the foundation of rule!
But Yin Cai would not know that at this time, in the northeast direction of the Dayuan Kingdom.
The border between the Xiongnu and the Wusun Kingdom in the Western Regions is the basin grassland surrounded by the Tianshan Mountains. It was later called the Balikun grassland and is now called the "Shule".
Wusun Kunmoweng Guimi had already led his personal guards to arrive here.
In the distance, the dragon flag symbolizing the Xiongnu Shanyu was dancing in the wind.
The cavalry sent by the Huns to greet him were lined up in a long line to greet him on the grassland.
"This Lao Shizi Dulongqi Shanyu is such a big air..." Beside Weng Guimi, Yuan Anmi said in a ruffled manner: "To be honest, Kunmo, you are the grandson of Xiankun Mo, and Xiankun Mo is the adopted son of Maodun Khan of the Xiongnu, and the brother of the old Shanyu. In terms of seniority, this Dulongqi Shanyu must call you your uncle!"
"It would be fine if my grandson wants to see my uncle. If you don't take the initiative to go and pay homage, Kunmo, you are actually staying in the tent..."
"Say a few words! Gridang!" Weng Guimi sat on a specially made hanging chair, shaking his body in the bumps. As Kunmo, Weng Guimi knew the importance of this trip and would not make Yuan Anmi feel bad: "No matter what, Du Longqi is also a Shanyu!"
"Shanyu!?" Yuan Anmi seemed to hear a joke: "When did the Huns have five Shanyu?"
Now, the whole world knows that the five Huns and Shanyu are united together.
The most funny thing is that one of the Shanyu was appointed by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, the mortal enemy of the Huns, and the Guyan Shanyu ascended the throne in the former Longcheng ancestral tomb of the Huns.
So in terms of legal principles, the Guyan Shanyu, which was enthroned by the Han Dynasty, was the most legitimate and most in line with the tradition of the Xiongnu.
So, let alone the Huns themselves, the countries in the Western Regions were all messy in the wind.
So much so that the knowledgeable people have already understood that no matter who can win the battle between the Huns and the Khan in Mobei now.
I'm afraid the biggest beneficiaries will be the Han Dynasty!
The reason is very simple. Now, the five Huns and Shanyu are united together.
The five parties speak their own words and do their own things, accusing each other of being a false Shanyu, and that they are the real support of the sun and moon of heaven and earth.
So unknowingly, Guyan Shanyu, who was enthroned by the Han Dynasty, had a name even in Mobei.
In other words, no matter who wins in the end, he has to face a reality in embarrassingly - the Guyan Shanyu, who was enthroned by the Han Dynasty, will share with him the foundation of the Hun Empire that Maodun and Lao Shang have captured.
As long as Guyan Chanyu existed in the Old Dragon City for one day, the Chanyu in Mobei could not truly have the confidence to claim to be a supporter.
There is no legality that represents all the people who draw bows!
What is even more embarrassing is that in the foreseeable long-term future, if nothing happens another accident.
The Huns in Mobei will have no choice but to the Guyan Shanyu.
It is even very likely that I have to pinch my nose and accept the existence of the latter.
Yuan Anmi understood this matter, and Weng Guimi knew even more!
but……
"How many times have I told you!" Weng Guimi said in a deep voice: "Gridang, as a fox and a jackal, if you want to eat meat, you must learn to cooperate with dragons, tigers and wolves!"
The power of Wusun cannot pry open the strong city defenses of the Dayuan people, nor can it break the wolves of the wolves with black hair and brown eyes!
"But..." Yuan Anmi was very dissatisfied: "Why should we cooperate with the Huns?"
"If you have to cooperate, why not find people from the Han Dynasty?"
"At worst, we will sell the gold, silk, treasures and beauties we found from Dayuan to the Han Dynasty in exchange for armored weapons and weapons from the Han Dynasty..."
Weng Guimi shook his head and asked, "Gridang, have you ever seen a tiger feeding?"
Yuan Anmi was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Of course I have seen it. I have hunted several tigers! Kunmo, the cushions in my dome are made of tiger skin, don't you know?"
Weng Guimi looked at his stupid brother, sighed, and said, "Since you have seen tigers eat, then, Gridang, I ask you, when have you seen tigers left with meat?"
"The tiger is cruel and greedy, and has a very big appetite. You can eat most of the horses in one meal..."
"Even the remaining meat, it will not be thrown to the jackal and fox, but will be dragged back to feed it to its own children or hide it as a food for the coming day!"
"Besides, tigers have a strong desire for possession and control. They will not allow any jackals and foxes to steal food if they enter their sight..."
"Besides the tiger, what about the dragon?"
Weng Guimi raised his head, looked at the blue sky, and said, "If a strange beast like a dragon catches prey, would he be willing to leave a little bit for others?"
"I'm afraid even the belts and bones were swallowed cleanly!"
To be continued...
