The Emperor is Above

Chapter 457: The Yuezhi People Allied with King Xianyu
The more information he learned, the more solemn Qing Yi's expression became.

Ever since the decisive battle outside Xingtai City a hundred years ago, the Xianyu tribe fled north.

However, in the following hundred years, the Xianyu tribe worked hard to become stronger, but the strength of the Xing State stagnated.

Fortunately, the strategically located Yunling Mountains and border town fortresses allowed the State of Xing to defend itself at the lowest cost.

In addition, the meteorite that fell from the sky and the changes in the heaven and earth twenty years ago caused the ancient alien race from the further north to move south, tying down the elite cavalry and many elite troops under King Xianyu.

This prevented the Xianyu tribe from fully moving south to attack the State of Xing in the past twenty years. It can be said that the Xianyu tribe's plan to destroy the State of Xing was delayed by twenty years.

However, after twenty years of balance, with the dramatic changes that occurred last winter, everything was developing in a direction that was extremely unfavorable to the State of Xing.

Mochu, brother of Prince Xianyu, was defeated in the battle of Border Town, resulting in the loss of nearly 100,000 young and strong men in the Xianyu tribe. Coupled with the snow disaster in winter and the plague in spring, the Xianyu tribe suffered tragic losses.

Coupled with the constant attacks from various tribes north of the Northern Wilderness, King Xianyu had to make a difficult decision - to find allies, at any cost.

"Brother Qingyi, Brother Dazhu, Gongsun Jiazai and the others are here." Following Wang Mangqiji's voice, Shi Dazhu, Gongsun Wu and six or seven other retainers filed in.

Ever since Grand Master Xian Yu started to confess, Qing Yi specifically asked them to come together and listen so that they could have a better understanding of the situation they would face next.

Grand Master Xian Yu replied with a dull look in his eyes: "The grasslands north of Yunling are very cold every winter. Last winter became even colder and longer, with heavy snow covering the ground nearly two meters thick.

The number of foreigners rushing down from the northern mountains and the western plateaus is increasing, and their armies are becoming stronger. They cannot stand the severe cold and want to seize our territory.

Their appearances are so strange. There are cat heads, dog heads, wolf heads, ox heads, sheep heads, horse heads, tiger heads, lion heads, leopard heads, bear heads and countless other types.

A new alien tribe appears almost every few days, and even they themselves cannot recognize each other. The most powerful is the giant tribe. The most recent giant that appeared is more than five meters tall.

Fortunately, these alien races were constantly fighting each other, and the giants were divided into small tribes of different sizes, so our tribe didn’t have too much trouble dealing with them.”

Qing Yi thought for a moment and continued the interrogation: "Since there are so many foreign tribes further north than Xianyu, and they are fighting each other, how did the King of Xianyu negotiate a truce with them?"

"They are the Yuezhi. There is a more powerful Yuezhi alliance in the northeast of Xianyu territory. It was through the alliance with the Yuezhi that my king was able to reach a truce and negotiate with various foreign tribes."

"Yuezhi people?"

Qing Yi kept repeating the name, his brows furrowed further. This was another newly emerged force, and he had vaguely heard of the name somewhere.

The strength of the Xianyu tribe led to the destruction of the State of Xing twice, killing millions of people. The oppressed 76 people in the Northern Wilderness were in a state of panic, and the tribe became a synonym for a powerful nomadic force.

Unexpectedly, a more powerful and mysterious Yuezhi tribe appeared and formed an alliance with the Xianyu tribe. They also asked the foreign tribes that moved south to negotiate a truce with them. The enemies faced by the State of Xing became even stronger.

"My Lord, I have heard of the origins of the Yuezhi people!"

Nan Guoshi spoke from behind, “Before the Great Shen Dynasty unified the four poles and eight wildernesses, the Great Wilderness was full of evil gods, ghosts and monsters.

The Yuezhi people were the descendants of a divine kingdom that existed three thousand years ago. They considered themselves to be descendants of the moon, and the god they worshipped was called the Moon God.

This kingdom of God was located between the Northern Wilderness, the Eastern Wilderness, and the Central Plains at the time. However, more than 300 years before the Great Shen Dynasty unified the four poles and eight wildernesses, they were conquered by other kingdoms of God and fled to the land north of the Northern Wilderness. " "So they are the remnants of the kingdom of God from a thousand years ago!"

Qing Yi nodded in understanding, and continued to say to Grand Master Xian Yu, "Tell me the latest news about the Yuezhi people. How strong are they now?"

Grand Master Xian Yu's hollow eyes showed a trace of struggle, but he still confessed honestly: "The overall strength of the Yuezhi people is stronger than ours, but after they fled north a thousand years ago, they split into the Great Yuezhi and the Small Yuezhi.

The Great Yuezhi considered themselves to be the direct descendants of the Moon Race. Their ancestors came from the Moon, their practice was also related to the Moon, and the Moon God they worshipped was the Moon itself.

The Lesser Yuezhi were different from the Greater Yuezhi. The Lesser Yuezhi people deified their matriarchal ancestor as the Moon Goddess, and they worshipped and offered sacrifices to the humanized Moon Goddess. They also believed that it was the Moon Goddess who married their ancestor that gave rise to the Yuezhi people.

"Huh? It is said that heretics are more hateful than pagans. The different understandings of the Moon God between the Great Yuezhi and the Small Yuezhi should have caused a bloody fight long ago. How come they formed a Yuezhi alliance?"

In response to Qing Yi's confusion, Grand Master Xian Yu continued to explain without reservation: "It is said that the leader of the Great Yuezhi at that time could not tolerate the behavior of the Small Yuezhi, and a war almost broke out.

However, when the Yuezhi people fled north, they also had a Moon God Palace that was independent of their tribe. They had been in charge of the power to worship the Moon God since the establishment of the Kingdom of God three thousand years ago.

The moon worshippers and moon prayers of the Moon God Palace stepped forward to stop the fight between the two tribes. The Palace Master of the Moon God Palace possessed a mysterious ability to be reborn, and was highly respected by the leaders and tribesmen of the two tribes.

It is precisely because of the existence of the Moon God Palace that the Great Yuezhi and the Small Yuezhi have maintained a semi-independent state, jointly revering the Moon God Palace as their spiritual leader, and are collectively known as the Yuezhi Alliance. "

"So that's what happened!"

Qing Yi turned his head and saw that everyone was listening attentively, then continued to ask, "So what role did the Yuezhi people and the Moon God Palace play in the truce and peace talks between the Xianyu tribe and the northern foreign tribes?
Why didn't those foreign tribes attack the Yuezhi people, but instead kept fighting with the Xianyu tribe? Also, do the Yuezhi people look like humans or foreigners?"

"The Yuezhi people look similar to my tribe. Their eyes and hair are not only black, but also red, yellow, blue, green, purple and other colors. Their skin also appears to be whiter.

When those alien races first appeared twenty years ago, they actually targeted the Yuezhi people first, but the Moon God Palace integrated the Yuezhi people and drove them away.

In addition, the Yuezhi people's territory is located further to the northeast, which is almost as cold as the lands of those foreign races, and is not very attractive to the foreign races, so they chose our tribe, which is weaker overall. "

Even though Grand Master Xian Yu was in a daze, his expression still looked somewhat indignant.

"It is obvious that these foreign races invading our territory is a trick of the Yuezhi people to divert disaster to the east, but our tribe has suffered continuous losses over the years and is no longer able to resist the foreign races from the south.

In March, the Moon God Palace's master also successfully broke through the first-grade shackles and advanced to the Saint Realm. Even though my clan and the Yue clan have many conflicts, my king still had to seriously consider the Moon God Palace's proposal and had no choice but to accept the conditions for the alliance. "

At this time, Shi Dazhu nodded to Qing Yi and said, "Brother Yi, if the Moon God Palace Master is promoted to a Saint Realm expert, with his personal strength, he may really force the alien experts to cease fighting.

However, the various tribes had to move south due to the cold winter, and even the truce could only be temporary. It was impossible for the Xianyu tribe to boldly move south with all their strength. It seemed that the matter behind this was not simple!"

"Well, Brother Dazhu is right!"

Qing Yi also agreed with Shi Dazhu's analysis and continued to ask, "King Xianyu trusts the alien race so much in the truce and peace talks. Could it be that the Moon God Palace Master guaranteed it for him in front of the alien race?"
