Legend of Fire Worship

Chapter 49, Double

Qiu didn't know where to find a Yue's man who can speak Chinese. He looked like a businessman in his twenties. The two had to wait in Fu Jiezi's temporary house. They calmed down a little when they saw Fu Jiezi and the star saint came back. He said a few words to the star saint, and the star saint's face changed several times. But in the end, I agreed.

Fu Jiezi couldn't understand what they were saying. He was curious, but Qiu suddenly smiled and asked the interpreter to tell Fu Jiezi that now that Dayue's envoy had arrived, it was inconvenient for them to let them see the star saint and hoped that the star saint would cooperate.

It's a big deal, and the star saint doesn't dare to force Qiu to make a decision too much. After all, this is often a matter of life and death. Qiu then said a few words to the star saint and told Fu Jiezi that Gui Shuangqi asked him to meet several people.

Fu Jiezi knew that he was going to see the envoy of the Dayue family. At present, he agreed, but Qiu's face turned pale, but he answered faintly and went out.

Fu Jiezi asked the star saint to have a good rest here, but he went out with Qiu. Unexpectedly, Qiu did not immediately go to the envoy of the Dayue family, but took him to a secret room alone. In this way, the content of this conversation was very confidential, and even the star saint had to hide it.

Because of the difficulty in verbal communication, Qiu went straight to the topic as soon as he opened his mouth and interpreted: "The Marquis has learned the intention of the messengers of the Han Dynasty from Gunia (the name of the star saint) and wants to know what the Han Dynasty is like. How about it's better than our Dayue clan?

Fu Jiezi suddenly felt a sense of pride and was slightly angry when he heard it. Dayue's population was not at the same level as that of the Han Dynasty, and the place was as large as several counties of the Han Dynasty. Moreover, when it came to wealth, the Han Dynasty was the envy of the Dayue family. He took the customs and regional boundaries of the Han Dynasty in one breath. And the history of the war over the years, especially mentions Wei Qing, Huo's attack on the Xiongnu, Li Guangli's attack on Dawan, and the war against the Xiongnu by General Huo Guang in recent years.

Qiu was surprised by the strength of the Han Dynasty. This was not that he sat in a well and watched the sky, but that the East and West were too far apart and lacked communication with each other. However, Qiu was more concerned about the military strength of the Han Dynasty. After learning that the Han Dynasty had millions of control strings and tens of thousands of miles, a trace of fanaticism suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Compared with the Han Dynasty, I, even the Dayue clan, and even the Xiongnu. If I could be connected with the Han Dynasty, wouldn't my own affairs be...

He didn't dare to make too much extravagant when he thought of this. After all, the Han Dynasty was too far away to play a role in the Dayue clan. Qiu then asked Fu Jiezi about the situation of the Han Dynasty. Fu Jiezi mostly answered truthfully, but there were also a few exaggerations, especially in the war against the Xiongnu, which made the Xiongnu vulnerable. However, Fu Jiezi's war against the Xiongnu was generally the same. The cavalry he led was the most sophisticated force in the Han Dynasty and has always been The enemy rampaged, so the Xiongnu gave him the title of "Big Man Iron Hand".

Fu Jiezi also asked Qiu about the relationship between Wuyihou and the Dayue clan, as well as the relationship between the Dayue clan and the surrounding countries, especially Wusun and Xiongnu.

Qiu's answer was very vague, but in general, there was a discord within the Wuyi Marquis, but they had to make peace. The Dayue family had wanted to ban the Wuyi Marquis for a long time, but it was bound by the Wuyi Marquis to unite at the critical moment, so he did not take action, but waited for the internal chaos of the Wuyi Marquis. Therefore, over the years, the queen of the Dayue family has been awarded the title of Guishuangqi Marquis one after another. , while the other four marquis did not pay attention to it, in order to provoke the internal chaos of the Marquis of Wuyi. In order to survive, the Marquis of Guishuangyi used many means, which did not cause the Marquis Wuyi to fight first. Among them, Qiu's wife died under the intimidation of King Hughmi, but Qiu avoided fighting with the Marquis Wuyi. I put up with it.

Then there is the relationship between the Dayue clan and the Marquis of Wuyi. Fu Jiezi heard the bad news. In recent years, the Dayue clan has been busy marching east and west to discuss the west, and has come to several small countries in the western region. Among them, Wulei and Inai and other countries have not been destroyed after claiming their ministers to the Dayue clan. The Dayue clan has recently sent Seventy thousand soldiers attacked Daxia, and the country was very empty, so they were worried that the Marquis would be in trouble. This time, they transferred the soldiers and horses of the Marquis Guishuang to the east of the Wulei-free Kingdom to attack the Pu Kingdom, and sent envoys to reward the Marquis Guishuangyi. First, it was to stabilize his hill, and second, it was to arouse the dissatisfaction of the other four Marquis.

More importantly, the Dayue clan and Wusun were originally a feud, but in recent years, it seems that the hatred has faded. There is no war with the Wusun Kingdom, and there has been no evil relationship with the Huns. It seems that they are single-minded to expand their territory to the southwest, first fight Daxia, and then to the south, all the way to the poison (India). I'm afraid I had no intention to fight with the Huns.

Fu Jiezi was shocked to hear the news. If what Qiu said was true, then his task would become extremely difficult, but he did not believe it. After all, from Qiu's position, he was not willing to let the Han Dynasty alliate with the Dayue clan. Anyway, he wanted to see the queen of the Dayue clan. According to the intention of the Han Dynasty, I believe that the Dayue clan will be interested in the territory of the Xiongnu thousands of miles, especially the Dayue clan's hometown in Dunhuang, and Dunhuang is ruled by the Han Dynasty again. If the Dayue clan falls in love with their hometown, they will also return to the east.

Fu Jiezi explained his intention, but Qiu promised to take him to meet the envoys of the Dayue family. Fu Jiezi found that Qiu's eyes flashed a little. He had not received the envoys of the Dayue family, but went to meet him as an envoy of the Han Dynasty. There was always some intention of sticking gold on his face. After all, Guishuang's strength in the Dayue clan was still too small. If he climbed up to the big tree of the Han Dynasty, the queen of the Dayue family would have to deal with him. One layer of consideration.

But if Fu Jiezi wants to see the envoy of the Dayue clan, someone must introduce him. This person may only be Qiu now. Soon I saw the envoys of the Dayue family. They were on the court of the Marquis of Guishuangyi. The envoys of the Dayue family seemed a little arrogant. This etiquette system was similar to that of the Han Dynasty. After reading a document, he let Qiu accept the order. Fu Jiezi understood some of them. It should be a reward, but he did not understand what was sealed.

Qiu didn't say a word. He knew that this was not a good thing, but a lot of troubles.

Qiu did not accept the order.

Dayue's envoys were a little angry and wanted to urge Qiu to accept the order. Unexpectedly, Qiu suddenly fainted and did not wake up. The close ministers around him panicked and quickly helped Qiu down. A minister beside him asked Dayue's envoys to go to the side hall to rest for a few days, and waited for Qiu to get better before receiving the order.

The sudden change surprised Fu Jiezi, but then thought that Qiu was fine just now. Why did he faint all of a sudden? I'm afraid that there was a lot of articles in this intention, but Qiu did not dare to accept the order and delayed his illness.

Thinking of this, Fu Jiezi was not surprised at all. He was sure that Qiu must not be sick. This trick has been played for thousands of years in the Han Dynasty. Whether he heard books or experienced the world, he knew something.

Fu Jiezi looked at the helpless expression of the Dayue envoy. Presumably, the envoy of the Dayue also understood the key, but there was nothing he could do. This kind of behavior has been known and effective for thousands of years, and naturally there is a reason for its existence.

This is in the Guishuang land, and the envoys of the Dayue clan did not dare to put on the air of the queen's close ministers, so they had to watch Qiu but not take the order to leave.

Fu Jiezi knew that this method could only be delayed for a while, and what should come was still coming, but he thought that there must be some big action before receiving the order.

Thinking about it, Fu Jiezi suddenly found that all three envoys looked at him, thinking that Guishuang Yihou's affairs had nothing to do with him, and his task was still on the three envoys.

The three envoys looked at Fu Jiezi one after another. After all, there were too few Han people in the Western Regions, which was far more eye-catching than the Hu people on Chang'an Street.

Fu Jiezi nodded slightly and wanted to talk to these envoys with his "three-plate axe" Dayue's language. At this time, Qiu's close minister came to invite Dayue's envoys to rest and also invited Fu Jiezi down. I don't know whether it was intentional or chance, Fu Jiezi's first meeting with Dayue's envoys was also It's just this nod.

Just as he was about to go down, a soldier ran in in a panic. Guishuangyihou's court was far from as many rules as the Han Dynasty. The soldier came straight to the close minister and reported a situation. Because of the local language, Fu Jiezi didn't understand it clearly, as if it was related to the Marquis of Shuangmi.

The close minister seemed to be a little upset when he heard the news. He hurried to take a rest and looked solemn.

Fu Jiezi didn't understand what they were talking about, but silently remembered a sentence of speech and meditated secretly along the way. When she returned to the house, the star saint was looking forward to it, listening to him talking to herself alone and laughing, "What are you talking about alone?"

Fu Jiezi was afraid of forgetting it and quickly read the sentence again, but the star saint's face suddenly changed and she lost her voice and said, "What! Did the Marquis seize the mine?

Fu Jiezi was shocked by her and said, "What?" The star saint said, "What you said, Shuang Mihou has captured the mine." Only then did Fu Jiezi understand that he had heard that there was an iron mine that was captured by the Marquis of Shuangyi. If the Marquis of Shuangyi sent troops to retake it at this time, it meant that the war had begun.

However, now the envoy of Dayue seized the mine as soon as he arrived at Shuangmiyihou, which is too coincidental. Experience tells Fu Jiezi that there are many articles in it.

The star saint is also very nervous. She can be said to be both happy and worried. The purpose of her trip is to let Guishuang Yihou send troops against the Dayue clan. If the double Yihou first provokes a war, then Guishuangyi Marquis will have no way out. As long as Wuyi Hou starts a war, then the Dayue clan will no longer be soft on Wuyihou. At that time, Guishuang Yi and even the other four marquis will oppose the Dayue clan, and although the five marquis is not at peace, they are all the old clan of Daxia. If the Dayue clan does it, the Wuyi marquis still has the possibility of holding a group, then Daxia and rest will be safe. From a selfish point of view, the star saint can regard this Wuqi marquis as the cannon fodder of Daxia and rest.

Wor is that if the internal struggle of Wuyihou is greatly damaged, and the chaos can be calmed without Dayue's action, then Dayue's attack on Daxia will only be further strengthened, and the safety of Daxia will become even more problematic.
