Chapter 74 Section five

Misfortunes never come singly, I didn't get my envoy, but Wusun's cavalry, in a black mass, rushing towards my position like locusts. "Shanyu, Wusun people really came to welcome us." The spies came to report, his face was full of joy. I snorted: "Fart. Did you send so many envoys to meet them? They are clearly here to attack, put on your armor and mount your horse to meet them immediately!" My prediction was not wrong. When the cavalrymen emerged from the fog, everyone's bows were fully drawn.Then, the "buzzing" sound of bowstrings and the sound of arrows piercing the air sounded from all around, and the sound was connected together, like a solid and tight wall, without a single gap or defect.Fortunately I was prepared, and the arrows hit our shields, beating like drums, calling us to attack.I waved the Leaping Tiger's flag, and the cavalry on both wings immediately opened up, embracing the Wusun people.

The Wusun people had no chance to flee, and soon they became beasts in the pen, hunted by us. A few captives remained.I learned from the captives that the envoy I sent had been slaughtered by Wusun Xiao Kunmi Wujiu, and Wujutu also sent the envoy's head to the Western Regions Protectorate in Wulei City.It's not surprising, if I were Wusun Kunmi, I would do the same.There is no difference between being a subordinate of the Huns and being a subordinate of the people of the Han Dynasty. I am afraid that the people of the Han Dynasty are more gentle towards Wusun.If the Huns have declined to the point of falling apart, it would be a bit too much to ask others to submit to you.It is from this point that I judge that their grand cavalry is not here to welcome me, the down-and-out Hun Shanyu.

Another point is that the guardians of the Western Regions of the Han Dynasty accepted the heads of the envoys I sent, which means that they have become my enemies.This also inevitably faintly shows the attitude of the Han Dynasty towards me. I'm angry, but I can't take revenge right now. "Shanyu, why don't we continue to advance and wipe out the entire Wusun." The nobleman of the Lan family said. I shook my head: "Chigu City, the capital of Wusun, is extremely strong. Eighteen years ago, Shan Yu personally led 100,000 elite cavalry and failed to capture it. There are at least 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers in Wusun's own country, and we have gone through this battle. , the soldiers were depleted and exhausted, and there was no chance of winning the attack on Wusun. My decision is to go north and attack Wujie and Jiankun. These two countries have few troops and are far away from the capital nursing center. We can Take a good rest there, in short, let’s get through this winter first.”

"Very good, please order from Shan Yu, we will set off immediately." The nobles all said loudly.
