…
But at this time, different changes were taking place in Wusun.
It was as if the nobles in the entire country knew that people from the Han Dynasty were coming, and they had made corresponding preparations in advance.
It even includes food, supplies, and a little money for a large army.
Even Lu Min, who knew part of the truth, couldn't see any flaws.
Even Yuan Yi of his own country didn't know what kind of choice the king of his country had made, and he really thought that his king strongly supported him.
This gave Wusun Zuo General Yuan Yi an illusion, and also a kind of blind confidence and confidence.
He received Li Jue and others with considerable confidence. His words and deeds showed relevant attitudes and highlighted trust.
This kind of behavior seemed a bit outrageous to Lu Min who was observing from the side, but he didn't even have a reason to stop it.
Li Jue, Guo Si and others have pretty good senses about Yuan Yi, so they can at least reach out and avoid hitting the smiling man.
What's more, this guy speaks from his heart, and everyone can feel it.
"I'm very happy that you can come to Wusun Kingdom again, but I have some doubts. Aren't you looking for traces of the Xiongnu?" Yuan Yi put down his wine glass and said thoughtfully, "But we haven't received any recently. Do you have any information about the Huns?"
Different from the 10,000 cavalry last time, the number of people who came this time was as high as 80,000 cavalry. This was not to ask about the strength of the troops.
To put it bluntly, if we destroy their country, there will be hope for this army!
Sent out so many troops, it is natural to have accurate information, otherwise it would be a waste of people and money.
In his opinion, the troops of the Han Dynasty were certainly not stupid. If they brought so many people here, they must have accurate information.
However, as soon as these words came out, Li Jue, Guo Si and others who were drinking felt a hint of surprise.
Because this is different from the information they received. The information they received did not have such meaning.
"It's impossible. As General Zuo of the Wusun Kingdom, do you really not know the relevant situation in this situation?" Li Jue slowly put down his wine glass and said in a gentle tone.
Yuan Yi shook his head on the spot and said directly, "Now that the matter has come to this, I naturally have no need to deceive you. I have indeed not received relevant information. As for the Huns you are talking about, they did exist before, but this year, basically No trace was found..."
Under Yuan Yi's slow explanation, everyone present finally understood what happened.
"In other words, unless the Parthian Empire hires people, will it be difficult to find traces of the Huns?" Li Jue asked with a frown.
"That's not true. The Huns have their own territory, and the water and grass are quite luxuriant." Yuan Yi shook his head and said seriously.
"Where?" Li Jue was instantly excited when he heard this information.
The Huns actually still have a lair? !
Why are you still hesitating? Isn't it better to just change the target? What else is there, a more direct and convenient choice than going straight to Huanglong!
"Go all the way north from Chigu City, leave the territory of Wusun Kingdom, and basically enter the territory of the Huns..." Yuan Yi rubbed his head and said the direction as calmly as possible, "But the Huns are very strong. , they have been staying in that place, and the distance is relatively far, so as long as it is not too much, the empire in the west will turn a blind eye to them, and we will be even more powerless..."
When Li Jue heard this, he couldn't help but think of the last exchange in his mind. At that time, he had no idea that such information existed.
Seemingly seeing Li Jue's appearance, Yuan Yi smiled bitterly and said, "After all, it is the factor of strength. Before, we did not dare to test the Huns for specific information, for fear of getting into trouble..."
Although their strength is not weak, it also depends on who the opponent is.
If the opponent is the Huns, they really can't beat them.
If the Huns hadn't valued their own population, they would have lost a lot of troops by forcefully attacking them, which felt like the gain was not worth the loss.
Coupled with the possibility of attracting the attention of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu had no intention of forcibly attacking the Western Regions.
Li Jue nodded thoughtfully, estimated Wusun's strength, and then deduced the strength of the Huns from this.
He has considerable experience in combat.
Just by making a simple comparison, he already had a scale in his mind to compare the respective data.
However, this situation is not absolute. After all, there is a restraint relationship between the arms.
Without being in the actual battlefield, no one can guarantee whether this battle will be won or lost. Mere guesses and conjectures can only be used as a reference after all.
Precisely because of this, Li Jue didn't feel any fear at all.
Anyway, I have already come out. If I don’t give him a fight, would it be worthy of his status?
As for the true strength of the Huns, he has to evaluate it himself before making the final decision.
As for the rest, it doesn't matter.
Seeing that Li Jue himself did not refuse, he was not even afraid of his words.
Yuan Yi then understood that the Han army in front of him was the real elite of the Han Empire. They were also the deadly enemies of the Xiongnu, and one of them would die if they met.
However, it is precisely because of this attitude that Yuan Yi is also determined to mobilize his own strength, persuade the king, and suppress the pro-Hun faction with all his strength.
The strength of the Han Empire remains the same as before, and it can extend its power to the Western Regions. They should continue to obey the command of the Western Regions Protectorate as they once did in order to survive.
Yuan Yi is different from King Wusun in that he does not use an army's weapons and equipment to evaluate an army's combat effectiveness.
As a strong person with inner energy leaving the body, he is more accustomed to using his own feelings and his own sense of danger to judge the strength of a unit's combat effectiveness.
Although the equipment used by Li Jue and others is similar to that used by the National Guards of the Wusun Kingdom.
But the feeling of threat the two brought to him was simply a world of difference.
Facing the National Guards, Yuan Yi felt that he could still fight with them and escape.
But if facing the Xiliang cavalry, once they are entangled, Yuan Yi feels that his life will be decided there.
The sense of danger brought to him by the two made Yuan Yi very clear that this was a truly elite cavalry force of the Han family.
A cavalry that could dominate the world, just like the Hun cavalry he had seen in his memory.
Unfortunately, on this point, Yuan Yi and King Wusun had different ways of judging strength, which led to different choices in the end.
Yuan Yi, who didn't understand this, still warmly entertained Li Jue and others.
