"So, King Soddie invites you to join us to participate in the grand ceremony and deal with me?" Sima Ji looked at the very reserved envoy of Kangju in front of him and asked with a white teeth, "Actually, your Kangju also understands that the journey is long and it is not easy to come to the river. Why don't you follow King Soddie's advice and see the truth on the battlefield together?"

Strictly speaking, Kangju Kingdom is in the northeast of the army, which threatens Sima Ji's way back. As for why he did not get blocked by Kangju Kingdom when he came, this is not complicated, because this country did not block the way. When Sima Ji passed by, it was a rare area and was still far from the core of Kangju. When he came, he just robbed some nomadic tribes of supply food, which stabilized the situation in Kangju.

In the north of Sima Ji, there was a group of nomadic people. As for who they were, it was not very clear. Anyway, they were either Persian tribes, Yuezhi people, or descendants left by the Xiongnu moving west. The territory of the nomadic forces was so large that Sima Ji didn't know who the other party's tribe was. Besides, from the process of the Xianbei moving west, we knew that the Xiongnu people who stayed on the Mongolian Plateau called themselves Xianbei, and it was meaningless to find who the other party's source was.

The reason why he did not have a conflict with Kangju was mainly because the other party was very weak in Sima Ji's eyes, and he was a person who jumped up and couldn't hit his knees. King Yan was so modest now that he felt that he was invincible in the Eurasian continent, so he was not interested in causing trouble for a small country. In his eyes, Kangju was indeed a small country.

Basically, before and after Ban Chao entered the Western Regions, the Kangju Kingdom was slightly inferior to the Kushan Empire of the same period. But by now, Kangju has become much weaker, and the territory in the north has been eroded by the tribes left by the Xiongnu moving westward. Now there is no longer the style of standing with the Kushan Empire.

"How dare the small country of Kangju fight with the Great Jin? Twenty years ago, our country had a delegation to Luoyang to meet the emperor and offered war horses!" The envoy of Kangju waved his hands repeatedly, "We just want to keep ourselves alone, but the letters from neighboring countries made us very embarrassed. If we don't follow here, we will be the target of public criticism. However, it is not what we want to be enemies with the Great Jin. King, in fact, the real enemy is not us. King Sogdian sent people to bring gifts to find many nomadic tribes, many of whom are Hun tribes, and they may be moved."

"Well, nomadic residence has no fixed place, and it is indeed easy to be bribed." Sima Ji calmly affirmed the other party's words. Maodun had been bribed. It is not shameful to use the nomadic people's greed for money to buy. He can protect himself when he is weak, and can reduce offensive resistance when he is strong. Therefore, he has been trying to find ways to settle the Eastern Xianbei.

The Kangju envoy went to Luoyang to worship, which was already the time of Emperor Wu. The Jin Dynasty had just been established, and the Western Regions countries wanted to establish good relations with the new East Asian hegemon. The Kangju king sent an envoy to the Jin Dynasty to offer horses, hoping to make friends with the newly rising Jin Dynasty. Twenty years ago, Kangju was already very weak, and its original territory could be said to have been occupied by nomadic peoples.

Sima Ji lightly tapped the table with his fingers, making a rhythmic sound, like a heartbeat. He was actually thinking about the situation in the Hezhong area. At present, the Jin Dynasty is fighting for all its might. He may turn around and be interested in the north and the northwest. The north and the northwest are not currently the main direction of expansion.

It is better to be more familiar with friends or enemies. If there are newly rising forces on the grassland to replace the Xianbei, Sima Ji would definitely disagree. He would also learn from the Han Dynasty and try to support the Xiongnu to resist the Xianbei's advance westward.

As long as countries like Kangju and Wusun in the Western Regions do not oppose the Great Jin, it is not a bad thing to help. As for whether they will turn against each other in the future, it is impossible to consider. The Southern Xiongnu rebelled in the Jin Dynasty, it cannot be said that the Han Dynasty was not thorough when considering it. It is like the Song Dynasty that constantly stabbed the enemy and replaced it with a more unfamiliar enemy, which has proved that it is not a good thing.

"The nomadic tribes in the north may attack me with Sogdians. Who are they?" Sima Ji asked.

"It's the Da tribe, but there are also some Xiongnu who moved westwardly. We Kangju people look down on them, but they dare not speak out. The king must be careful." The Kangju envoy had a very good attitude, and it was completely said that he could speak out.

Sima Ji sighed in secret why you are suffering? Why are you fighting each other with the same roots? Central Asia in this era even included Afghanistan. There were probably two ethnic groups in the language family. The Kha people were just a combination of the nomadic Great Yuezhi and the Persian Seeds. Kangju is actually a descendant of the Great Yuezhi family, and of course Kushan is also the same. Sogdians are considered to be a country with the main component of Persia.

The Tada tribe is the white Xiongnu in some people, but Sima Ji felt that the absorbed Xiongnu tribes should not account for much of the proportion of the Tada tribe, and it has nothing to do with the Huns opposite the Han Dynasty.

The King of Yan looked down on these countries without the tradition of civil war. What's wrong with fighting a civil war? If Qin does not fight, it will never unify the world. Jin and Wu will always be at peace? Civil war is the only way to national unification. Whoever gets support speaks with the result of the war?

"In this way, the envoy can return to the King of Kangju, and can lead troops to join Sogdian, Khada, and even Dayuan, mainly local countries, and even Alan people who are farther away come together. I am not free to come to the door one by one. The tribal forces who want to trouble me are better to join together." Sima Ji tilted his neck and pretended to be modest, "I am an outsider. If Kangju does not cooperate with the local country, I may have trouble leaving in the future. Kangju can completely lead troops to come. As for Kangju if he wants to meet with the King on the battlefield, or act according to the opportunity, you can do whatever you want. The final result cannot be changed. Can you be smart and take the initiative with you? If you choose the right choice, Kangju may get a chance to revive."

As for whether King Kangju wanted to stand there, Sima Ji would not guess at all. He felt that he was strong enough. Even if a group of forces that jumped up and couldn't hit his knees together, they would still not hit him. Sima Ji liked to fight with the army that united multiple forces the most. Sima Yong himself was very good at fighting, and the example of the gentry not being able to fight by himself has not been a few years.

This attitude of contempt for everything surprised the envoy of Kangju. He seemed to want to see if Sima Ji was pretending to behave, but after looking at it, he felt that the king had no intention of being artificial at all, as if this was the real idea.

After the Kangju envoy left, Sima Ji called Murong Han in, talked about the whole story, and said calmly, "It seems that the tribes coming from the north are called the White Huns, and they are your old friends." Sima Ji deliberately used other names of Kada instead of the name of Kada. Anyway, Murong Han didn't know the inside story.

"Just they? A group of defeated generals dared to go against the King of Yan?" Murong Han heard a hint of contempt flashing on his face. The Xianbei moved westward to the land of the whale and swallowing the Huns. Now when Sima Ji's intentional vague remarks were heard, he said with disdain, "Murrong Han knows how to do it, and see how the defeated generals of the original time are now."
