Controlling mountains and rivers since the Warring States Period

Chapter 185 Wusun
"Great Mi!"

"Are we really going west?"

With the death of the first Qin king who was posthumously named "Huiwen", his son Yingdang stirred up new waves.

His style is more radical.
He seemed to wish he could wipe out the six states in Shandong and conquer the world.

therefore,

Qin's covert support for Kunrong was also weakened.

Kunrong, who was not as powerful as Yuzhiren, was defeated and soon lost all his territory in the Hexi Corridor.

The original leader died in battle.

Kunmi also became a beloved new shepherd in many battles.

original,

Kunmi, who came from an ordinary herder family, did not have such an opportunity to rise to prominence.

But the wolves continued to attack and bite the Kun tribe, forcing the surviving lambs to change their original ecology and huddle together for warmth.

In the face of the great changes of life and death, whoever can keep the Kun tribe alive will become the new whip-bearer of the Kun tribe and gain the power to drive cattle and sheep.

then,

The young and warlike Kunmi came to power.

Among the Kunrong tribes that fought against the Yuchi people, only the tribe to which Kunmi belonged had never been defeated. In several battles, Kunmi even led his men to achieve rare victories.

Because of his bravery,

His taciturn personality,
They are all highlighted in different colors.

"Ok!"

"Go west!"

Kunmi rode on a horse and looked out at the endless grassland.

The winding river flows through
He recalled a previous encounter with his childhood friend.

He didn't know how that person appeared.
I don't know why so many years have passed.
His face had become weathered by the wind, frost, rain and snow on the grassland, but the other person was still young, handsome and calm.

That day,

Kunmi felt very uncomfortable because of the pressure of the tribe's survival.

But in this case,

He couldn't show it to anyone else.

If even the most famous warrior and the most promising leader showed a look of fear and weakness, what about the other people in the Kun tribe?
then,

In the quiet night,
Kunmi came out of the tent alone, ran to the nearby river and started kicking a cowhide ball stuffed with dry grass.

Whenever I feel irritated,
He always likes to vent his emotions by playing football.

And one careless

He kicked the ball into the water.

Suddenly, a cry of "Ouch" was heard from the calm river that reflected the stars in the sky!
then,

He saw a golfing friend he once knew emerging from the water with three balls in his hands.

He Bo narrowed his eyes and asked him kindly:
"Young shepherd..."

"Did you drop this golden ball, this silver ball, or this plain cowhide ball?"

"The last one." Kunmi said without hesitation.

"What an honest and good boy!"

He Bo still smiled with his eyes narrowed, and returned the ball to Kunmi.

"It's a pity that there's no reward for answering correctly."

Kunmi didn't dwell on his words, just held the ball and asked him puzzledly, "Why are you here so late at night?"

"you guess!"

Kunmi said, "I don't guess!"

He didn't even ask why He Bo came out of the river. It was obvious that the river was not deep and could not hide a living person.

He just sat on the grass by the shore, put the ball beside him, hugged his legs and remained silent.

He Bo wanted to touch the other person's hair, but when he thought of Kunmi's appearance, he withdrew his hand.

Ok,
Keep squinting your eyes.

So as not to see it too clearly and hurt the friendship.

"Are you thinking about the tribe?"

"Ah."

Kunmi nodded, then hesitantly asked He Bo, "The grasslands around us have been occupied by the Yuzhi people. I heard that a tribe called the Xiongnu has risen on the grasslands further east."

"I want to go to the west, but I don't know if there are any powerful enemies there!"

He Bo, who had soaked himself in the Western Regions like a salted fish, said, "The West..."

"Things are pretty good there!"

As long as you don't turn south, you will basically not encounter the forces of Xinxia.

Moreover, in today’s world,
The whole world is vast and sparsely populated.

There is still too much grassland on the steppes of Central Asia, waiting for cattle and horses to trample and graze.

Not to mention the migration of the Kun tribe this time,

It's the pressure of survival.

Considering that Kunrong and Zhuxia have no deep hatred, He Bo and Kunmi are still friends...

He had no reason to stop Kunmi's actions.

Besides, he didn't say,
Through the merchants from the Western Regions,

Kunrong would always find out about the situation in the Western Regions and then boldly run there.

When we reached the west,

They will feel more deeply—

damn it,
Why is Zhu Xia so stubborn!
I am a person who was eliminated from the Zhuxia volume, but I can act so arrogantly here!
"I understand!"

Kunmi stood up, and the idea that had been lingering in his mind for a long time finally came true.

He will lead the remaining tribesmen to the west to find new pastures and life!

And before leaving,

Kunmi looked at He Bo.

He Bo looked at him, then couldn't help but turned his head away.

Kunmi didn't care about this.

After all, He Bo's eyes are so narrowed, he must be sick.

He felt that he couldn't point this out and make the other party feel embarrassed.

He just asked, "Will we meet again in the west?"

“It might be a little difficult.”

He Bo recalled the distribution of mountains and rivers in the Western Regions.

The further you go inland into the continent, the sparser the mountains and rivers become.

Moreover, there are very few people there, not as large as Zhuxia, so naturally there is not much fun to offer to ghosts and gods. If He Bo wants to go west, he is more likely to cross the mountains from the plateau.

After all, He Bo can go directly to Xinxia through the mountains on the plateau that are like a wall blocking the sky.

“That’s a shame!”

Kunmi then picked up the ball and invited He Bo, "Want to play again?"

"can!"

He Bo climbed ashore and chased Kunmi.

And when the day breaks,
Kunmi then announced, "Go west!"

soon,

The remaining Kunrong began to migrate.

They rode on horses, drove cattle and sheep, and headed westward along the river, passing through one Western country after another, and finally stopped near a country called "Kucha".

After a long migration,
Kunrong also got a new name——

Wusun!

……

In the same year that Kunrong migrated,
After a long period of observation, King Yong of Zhao decided to reform!
He wore simple Hu clothing and walked up to the court step by step. Then, against all odds, he issued the decree of "wearing Hu clothing and riding and shooting".

“Without a strong army, how can we protect the country?”

"Without a strong army, how can we protect our country?"

"I have made up my mind. You don't have to ask for more!"

Under the powerful suppression of the monarch, the conservative ministers could only cry and shout helplessly:
"The gentlemen of our country actually learned the riding and archery and clothing of the Hu people. Is this in accordance with Zhou Li?"

"My ancestor, your spirit in heaven, please take a look at the state of Zhao, which is now full of barbarian blood!"

What can Zhao Suhou say in the underground?
He simply raised his hands and gave a warm applause to his son's reforms.

"My son is much wiser than your son!"

In joy,

At the banquet of the Three Jin monarchs in the underworld, Marquis Zhao Su could not help but speak to the ancestors of Wei and Han.

Upon hearing this, the latter's expression suddenly changed.

They were originally worried about how many more years they could eat the cold meat from the Taimiao, and now this old guy Zhao Suhou is suddenly going to leave the organization?
How can this work!

then,

The ancestors of Wei and Han rolled up their sleeves and started catching ghosts to vent their anger.

King Huiwen of Qin, who was climbing the wall to spy on the Three Jin Alliance, saw this and jumped to the ground and reported to his father:
"The Three Jin Alliance has gone bankrupt!"

"it is good!"

Qin Xiaogong clapped his hands and smiled, then said to his son, "The dead can't even unite, let alone worry about the living!"

"Although Zhao has adopted the Hu clothing and horse riding, as long as it cannot unite the Three Jins, it will not be a match for my Qin!"

King Huiwen of Qin also echoed, "When it comes to being brave and good at fighting, Dang'er is not bad either!"

Duke Xiao nodded and said to his son:
"By the way, remember to go out through the back door later, not the front door!"

This yard,

It was a new house that Duke Xiao bought in Haoli, in order to spy on the situation of Marquis Su of Zhao next door.

Because the monarchs of the Three Jins often liked to come to Zhao Suhou's place for drinking and gatherings.

Upon hearing that the State of Zhao had made a big move in the world of the living, Duke Xiao immediately brought his son over to inquire about the situation.

Now that he has used up his son, the old father turns around and makes this request.

"Why?" King Huiwen was puzzled.

Duke Xiao explained to him very seriously, "Because Lord Shang will also come later, you should not appear in front of him and upset him!"

Good ministers,

Filial son,

They are all Xiaogong’s wings!

After all, the wise minister had been with him through thick and thin for many years, so Duke Xiao decided to sacrifice his son first.

"This guy!"

"Even the underworld makes me unhappy!"

King Huiwen was so angry that he stamped his feet, turned around and ran to look for his uncle Ying Qian, who had been dead for many years but did not live on the same street as his brothers.

But before he could reach his uncle's house, Tu Bo suddenly summoned him.

Within the main hall,

Tubo pointed to a figure and said to King Huiwen, "Come, take a look at your loyal minister!"

Zhang Yi, who had lost a lot of weight, turned around and kowtowed to King Huiwen, saying, "My king, how are you?"

King Huiwen walked up to him, looked at him for a long time, and finally took Zhang Yi's hand and said with tears in his eyes, "Zhang Qing, you are fine too!"

……

In the year when King Huiwen of Qin died,
Zhang Yi returned to Qin and took the initiative to resign to the new king.

Xin Jundang agreed to his request readily, but he felt a little regretful that Zhang Yi was not so sensible.

but,

Some ministers opposed Zhang Yi's resignation.

They did not sympathize with Zhang Yi, but believed that Zhang Yi might leave Qin and work for another country, becoming a powerful enemy of Qin's eastward expansion.

therefore,

They asked the new king to kill Zhang Yi.

But Xin Jundang is a very confident and sharp young man.

He was not worried that Zhang Yi would cause trouble for the Qin State.

Moreover, Zhang Yi has already taken the initiative to give in, and he will not continue to pester or be aggressive.

"If he wants war, I will give him war!"

"We Qin people are always happy to hear about war, and we will win the war, so why should we be afraid of those who talk nonsense?"

Xinjun waved his hand and rejected the proposal.

The ministers could only beat their chests and stamp their feet, thinking that the new king was young and inexperienced, and letting Zhang Yi escape would definitely lead to disaster.

result,

Zhang Yi did not go to other countries, nor did he return to his hometown of Anyi.

He stayed in the mansion given to him by King Huiwen and counted his fallen teeth.

He said to his wife, "The lips and teeth depend on each other, and now my teeth are falling out so fast, my mouth and tongue won't last much longer."

When a strategist is speechless,
His life is about to end.

then,

When King Zhao was carrying out drastic reforms to the state affairs, Zhang Yi of Qin died.

He Bo went to pick him up personally, allowing him to reunite with his monarch.
