Chapter 293

When Wu Dan woke up, his eyes were bright, and the bright sun shone on his face.

The wizard sat aside, his eyes slightly closed, his face calm.The feather coat he wore every day covered him, and the wizard only put on a sheepskin jacket, but he didn't see any sign of being cold.Eul stood aside with awe in his eyes.

Wu Dan felt a little strange.Eul has always been disrespectful to wizards, and complained a lot behind his back, why is he so respectful today?

"Are you awake?" The wizard opened his eyes and glanced at Wu Dan.Wu Dan responded, sat up, and fell to his knees in front of the wizard. "Great wizard, I have repeatedly disobeyed the oracle, can the gods forgive me?"

"You are still alive, which means that the gods have not abandoned you." The wizard laughed. "I thought that you would die on that snowy night."

Thinking of that snowy night, Wu Dan shivered.

"How does it feel to come back from the dead?"

Wu Dan was silent for a moment. "It turns out that death is not so terrible."

"Then what are you afraid of?"

Wu Dan thought for a while, nodded, and said, "Great Wizard, what should I do?"

"Go to Wusun and find your sister." The wizard stood up and pointed to the south. "From here to the south, over this mountain, you will find the pasture of the Wusun people."

"and then?"

"Then pray to the gods every day, and wait for me to come back." There was a trace of fanaticism in the wizard's eyes. "I'm going to find that sage from the Han Dynasty. I heard from him that he has a way to turn a person like you into a master."

"Great wizard, who exactly are you talking about?"

"You should know him." The wizard laughed. "He is the Datuqi Zhongxing said."

Wu Dan suddenly realized, and his eyes lit up.Of course he knew what Bank of China said.This Han slave was like a god among the Huns.More importantly, BoC said he was an incomplete man just like him.

No wonder the wizard has always had faith in him, that's why.

dragon city.Military minister Shan Yu and Prince Yu Shan bent down and walked into a low tent.

Zhongxing said that he was lying in the thick fur, motionless, and his breath was like a gossamer.His face was all wrinkled, like a twisted piece of rag.The sparse eyebrows are hidden in wrinkles and almost disappear.

"Da Tuqi, Da Tuqi?" The military official Shan Yu called out twice, as if he was afraid of waking up the Bank of China.

Bank of China said that he slowly opened his eyes, and said weakly, "Shan Yu, what's the matter?"

The military minister Shan Yu frowned.He couldn't understand what Bank of China said.After a while, Bank of China laughed silently, and said in Hun language: "I forgot again. I am old, and I only remember the words of my hometown."

The military minister Shanyu laughed unnaturally.The Bank of China said that he was really old. He was over eighty years old, and he was so old that he had only one breath left.No one knows when he will swallow this breath and die forever.

If he dies, who can replace him?Military minister Shan Yu felt a little worry in his heart. "Da Tuqi, there are some things I want to ask you for advice."

The Bank of China said that it was in a daze for a while, and then said casually, "What's the matter?"

"The Han Dynasty sent envoys to Dawan."

"Messenger? Dawan?" Said Bank of China's scattered eyes slowly gathered together, revealing a frightening look. "Help me up."

Military minister Shan Yu quickly put his hands behind Zhongxing Shuo's back, carefully helped Zhongxing Shuo up, and slowly whispered the whole story in Zhongxing Shuo's ear.

He just received an urgent report from Wusun Kunmi Liejiaomi.Due to the internal strife in the Hunxie King's Department, the war against the Yuezhi that was prepared last year ended in vain.Later, he and Wu Dan took a detour to attack Dawan. As a result, Dawan and Yueshi joined forces, Lie Jiaomi was blocked at the mountain pass, Wudan went deep into Dawan, and his entire army was wiped out.Lie Jiaomi himself was harassed by Aliusu, a member of the Yuezhi, on his way back to his teacher, and suffered heavy losses.

Behind all of this is the emissary of the big man named Liang Xiao.It was he who killed Old King Hunxie, which aroused internal strife in the royal family of Hunxie, and it was he who facilitated the alliance between Yuezhi and Dawan.

Bank of China said that he was listening quietly, his thin white hair trembling slightly. "It's finally coming, it's finally coming."

The military minister Shanyu was very puzzled, feeling that the Bank of China had made a fool of himself again. "Da Tuqi, what did you say?"

"The Han people are coming." Said Zhong Xing, and slowly grabbed the military official Shanyu's arm, his thin fingers were like eagle claws, pinching the military official Shanyu unbearably painful. "Chan Yu, you don't listen to me, and you are greedy for the silk clothes and wine of the Han people. Now, they are coming, but they are not paying tribute, but coming to kill you."

"Kill us?" Crown Prince Yu Dan laughed, with disapproval in his slender eyes. "How could the Han people be our opponents?"

"What do you know?" Bank of China said, his eyes widened, and he shouted angrily, "You don't even know how cunning the Han people are. They even killed their own brothers for the sake of power, let alone the Huns. Do you think..." He suddenly coughed , Coughing out of breath, people are very worried that he coughed all of a sudden.

Military minister Shan Yu glared at Yu Shan, motioning him not to talk nonsense.He knows that Bank of China has always been dissatisfied with Shan, no matter how he creates opportunities for Yu Dan to perform more, he can't change the attitude of Bank of China.He used to be very distressed, but now he doesn't worry about it anymore. Bank of China said that he doesn't seem to be able to live for a few more days, and he won't be Yu Shan's think tank, nor will he become Yu Shan's trouble.

The Bank of China said that the old man's face was flushed with suffocation, and it took him a long time to catch his breath.He tightly grasped the military minister Shanyu's arm. "Shan Yu, do you know what the Han people lack the most?"

"...War horse?"

"Yes, they lack horses the most. Dawan's horses...are the best horses in the world. If Dawan falls into their hands..."

Military minister Shanyu's cheek twitched.He suddenly realized the problem.No wonder the Han sent envoys to the west one after another. He originally thought it was just a long-distance and short-term attack as the Bank of China often said. Now it seems that the real purpose of the Han is horses.

Compared with the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu lacked everything, except for one thing that the Han Dynasty could not compare with.That is the horse.Because of horses, the Huns can come and go like the wind, can play the Han army around, and can advance when they are favorable, and retreat when they are unfavorable.If the Han had enough war horses, could the Huns still be so relaxed?
"Then what should we do?" Shan Yu asked anxiously.

Bank of China pouted, biting its bare teeth, and said word by word: "While the old empress is still alive and the little emperor can't move, send troops to Dawan to extinguish their ambitions."

Aliusu came on horseback, followed by dozens of knights. The sound of hoofbeats reverberated in the valley, showing a mighty air.

Batu frowned, turned around and gave Li Shuyun a wink, signaling him not to act rashly.Li Shuyun nodded.He was indeed a little nervous.From such a distance, he could feel the murderous aura on Paalyusu's body.

Aliusu ran all the way to Batu, and then reined in his mount.The big green horse raised its front hooves, held its head high and neighed, making a sound like cracking silk.Aliusu sat firmly on the horseback and said loudly, "Batu, where are you going?"

"Go where you want me to go." Batu said with a playful smile, "Brother, I'm going to Chang'an, are you happy?"

Aliusu snorted: "You go to Chang'an, what should I be happy about?"

"I went to Chang'an, and the Yuezhi formed an alliance with the Han Dynasty, one east and one west, attacking Wusun and the Xiongnu, don't you like it?"

Aliusu's eyes flashed, and he looked over Batu's shoulder to the long line behind him. There are more than 500 horses, 300 camels, and countless parcels. You don't need to look at it, you know that it is full of wealth.As for the more than [-] mercenaries, Aliusu didn't pay attention at all.He knew that they were not ordinary mercenaries, but to him, as long as he wanted to, these mercenaries were not enough to kill him.

However, he hesitated.It would indeed be a good thing for Batu if he went to Chang'an.Not only will no one compete with him for the throne, but also the benefits of being able to form an alliance with the Han Dynasty are self-evident.

If he wasn't a Han Chinese, he wouldn't be sure whether he could stand here now, let alone take advantage of Lie Jiaomi.

"How long are you going to go?" Aliusu lowered his tone. "Mother will miss you."

"If possible, I don't plan to come back." Batu said indifferently: "Anyway, mother is not my son. I have been with her for so many years, and I have long been tired of it. I should let you accompany her to make me relax. Easy."

"If you say that, she will be very sad." Aliusu twisted his mouth and showed a smirk. "Are you not afraid that I will sue you?"

"I'm afraid you'll be stupid and take my head to sue." Batu glanced at the warrior beside Aliusu disdainfully. "Brother, I have some good news for you. Wu Dan was shot and exploded with a human bow by the envoy of the Han Dynasty. The entire [-] elite army was wiped out. You lost a strong opponent."

"What?" Aliusu was taken aback. "The envoy of the Han Dynasty shot Wu Dan?"

"That's right, the envoys of the Han Dynasty attacked the camp with a hundred cavalry..." Batu narrated the battle of Liang Xiao's hundred cavalry attacking the camp.According to what he said, Liang Xiao didn't need a hundred riders, he could kill a few back and forth in the Huns camp by himself.

Aliusu was skeptical. "Batu, you're bragging again."

"Whether I'm bragging or not, you'll know when the time comes." Batu laughed: "Not to mention, the bow in your hand is not as good as a human bow, right?"

Aliusu's face darkened. "The human bow is my Yueshi's precious bow, and it fell into the hands of the Han people. Are you happy?"

"I'm not like you. I call myself a warrior. I just like wine and beauties. What does it matter to me if the bow is in whose hands? But you, the bow has been in the hands of the Wusun people for so many years, and I didn't see you snatch it." Come back, are you in a hurry now? If you have the ability, go and get back the Heavenly and Earthly Bows."

Aliusu was furious, and just about to speak, Batu raised his hand and stopped him. "Brother, don't get angry at me, I'm just telling the truth. I'm going to Chang'an, and I may never see each other in this life. Should you give me a hug like you did when you were a child?"

Seeing Batu with arms outstretched, although his smile was unruly, but his eyes were full of pleading, Aliusu's heart softened, he let go of the hand holding the knife handle, jumped off the horse, opened his arms, and faced Batu.

The two brothers held each other tightly.
