"Did the king of your country really say that?" Dilian said expressionlessly, with no emotion in his tone.

"My king is busy with government affairs and knows nothing about it. He didn't say anything. This is just for me to share my king's worries. But I don't know if Lord Shanyu is willing?" Modidas said carefully.

"Your country is really 'bold'. Even the king doesn't know about such a big event." Mao Ling said with a hint of sarcasm.

"I'm afraid it's not that I don't know, but I don't dare to know."

"What do you mean, Master Maoling?"

"You even dare to have friendly relations with each other in private. Is your country so afraid of the Han people that you don't even dare to say anything?" Mao Ling said unceremoniously.

"If your country can resist the Han people, our country will not have to have relations with your country. In the previous battle between your country and the Han Dynasty, it seemed that it was invincible. Lord Mao Ling is probably not unclear about the actual situation. To be honest, our country

The king is not very optimistic about your country. This private alliance was made by me without telling the king. If Master Mao Ling is dissatisfied, he can lead another hundred thousand cavalry to conquer Han. If he wins, I will definitely remonstrate with him and persuade him to death.

My king can form an alliance with your country by ceding two provinces to your country. But I wonder if your country has the courage and strength?" Modidas looked at Mao Ling indifferently.

"You!" Mao Ling looked angry and wanted to draw his sword.

"Okay, let's stop arguing with each other." Dilian raised his hand slightly to stop Mao Ling.

"Please forgive me if I make a mistake next time," Modidas said.

"It doesn't matter. Just go back and I'll take care of it. Also, remember to bring a message for me when you go back."

"What to say?"

"The Han people are powerful, and entering the Western Regions is not as easy as imagined. I hope your country will not be careless. The Xiongnu today may not rest in peace tomorrow. Don't say it was unforeseen." Dilian said in a deep tone.

Looking at Di Lian's eyes full of meaning, Modidas' pupils narrowed: "I will bear in mind Shan Yu's words."

Putting down the garrison map of the two northeastern provinces in his hand, Modidas slowly backed away with a complicated mood.

After he left, the angry-looking Mao Ling quickly regained his composure.

"Chanyu, are those last words appropriate?"

"Stand back. If that day comes, maybe Anxi can help us." Dilian slightly held his forehead and said a little tiredly.

Among all the countries in the world, the ones who understand the Han people best are the Xiongnu. Yuan Shu sent four countries to station in the Western Regions, which seems ordinary, but Di Lian, who has a deep understanding of the Han people, never believed that it would be so simple. This is not the style of the Han people.

Especially the previous battle had strengthened his idea that the Han people had a big plan.

Although he knew it well, he couldn't say it because once the Han people were defeated, the Huns would be the unlucky ones in the end. What did the survival of Kushan and Anxi have to do with him.

He won't reveal any of these things to Kuishang, and now he and An'xi are only hinting at it.

"With such a virtuous minister, no wonder Anxi can still stand firm in such a rotten situation." Dilian said with emotion.

"Guishan Anxi has virtuous ministers and generals, and they have a profound background. It's a pity that their leader is ignorant and has serious internal disputes. I'm afraid they can only manage to maintain it, but there will be no good results in the end." Mao Ling said.

"Isn't this just right? Otherwise, where would there be a place for us and others?" Dilian said bitterly.

He was really envious of Kushan and Anxi's fortune and national power. If he were in his position, he would have already dominated the world. However, his master was mediocre but had such a background.

As for the Northern Xiongnu, they seem to be in decline from their peak, with extremely bad luck and no chance of success.

Although the people are united as one and the tribe is brave, the population is sparse and the foundation is shallow. Moreover, the location is too embarrassing. There is Anxi blocking the road to the west, Kushan tigers to the south, Han people approaching to the east, and a bitter cold land to the north.

It was too late to enter, and the position was awkward. Even with all the strategies and wisdom and courage, there was nothing we could do.

"Chanyu, it is imperative to form an alliance with Anxi. It is the only way to break the situation. However, the specific details need to be discussed carefully," Mao Ling said.

"I understand this. The Han people are powerful and an alliance with Parthia is inevitable. However, although the price offered by Parthia is good, we Northern Huns have always been greedy. If we want more, that guy Vorogis V will not be willing to do it.

I don't mind." Di Lian suddenly smiled.

"But Chanyu, you still have to be careful. Although Vologis V has a weak character, once he really crosses his bottom line, maybe we will break up, and it will be no good to both of us.

It’s better to take things like this slowly.”

"The Parthian country is loosely organized. Although the various places are nominally called provinces, they are actually no different from the kingdom and are extremely independent. Even if Parthia helps us secretly, it will not be easy to win. We will at least have to send troops.

Only by using more than 50,000 elite cavalry can we win quickly."

"Eighty thousand elite cavalry, accompanied by Sirius cavalry. We must use our troops and be quick to capture them," Dilian said.

"Chanyu, is this too risky? With such a large number of troops, if An Anxi has other ideas, our army will no longer be able to withstand losses!" Mao Ling heard this and said with a little hesitation.

"There is no way to retreat. Now besides believing in An Xi, do we have any other way to find?" Dilian clenched his hands slightly: "Since you want to gamble, then bet bigger. Anyway, if you lose, your chances of survival will be slim, so just gamble.

Happy. I don’t believe that An An really dares to take the risk and do such an unwise move. Otherwise, we, the Northern Huns, are fighting for the survival of the entire clan and will drag An An to die with us. Even if there is only one man left in the battle to the end, we will still have to take revenge."

Dilian's eyes were full of fierceness, and he was already prepared to die together.

There was no way, the Northern Xiongnu was in a situation where he could no longer retreat. He could only pretend to be a madman who was determined to retaliate and had no regard for the consequences, and he had to make himself act according to the behavior of a madman.

"When fighting against Anxi, you don't have to hold back. You must make the opponent frightened, defeat the opponent quickly with elite troops, and frighten them. This can also lay a solid foundation for our Northern Huns to move westward in the future." Dilian said.

"In addition, loot more people, food, grass and weapons along the way, and pay attention to the scale. Don't go too far, let alone burn them. Otherwise, it will really touch the bottom line of Anxi."

"yes."

"What's the news over there in Kushan?"

"When our army sent out troops, the northern nobles of Guishang sent 200,000 troops to the border. They seemed to have the idea of ​​​​attacking to regain the lost territory. However, after the outcome of the battle came out, these troops retreated. It is expected that Guishang will not return again in the short term.

Send troops, the situation on the southern front is okay." Mao Ling said.

"As I expected, it's still the same Da Yuezhi who bullied the weak and feared the strong." Dilian said disdainfully.

"It's a pity that the weather is not in our favor. All the fertile lands are occupied by such a weak tribe, but there is no place for us, the Northern Huns, to expand their territory." Mao Ling said bitterly.

When Dilian heard this, his expression moved slightly and he looked at the map on the wall.

Around the small territory of the Northern Huns, the names of several countries came into view.
