[This guy is pretending too much, afraid that we don't know, right? But is this a case of wanting to catch but letting go first?] Zhang Ren hesitated inside, [Forget it, regardless of whether it's this plan or not, whether we can encounter that thing is still a question.]

"Forget it, let's not mention our side, the supervisor is keeping an eye on me. Let's talk about your side, your side. Oh, by the way, do you have more of this wine? It's quite good." Carano, seeing Leiblalei staring at him, awkwardly changed the topic.

"We don't have much of this wine either, it's something our country's Marquis Chen developed, and we don't have a lot in stock." Zhang Ren smiled and said, "But if you have the need, we can set up a market at the previous truce location."

"Marquis Chen?" Carano repeated, seeming to recall, "But I heard you mention before that you headed south when your country wasn't busy domestically, does that mean something happened in your country?"

"The Northern Huns have returned." Zhang Ren calmly said to Carano, who was taken aback upon hearing this, "The Northern Huns, located north and west of the Western Regions, entangled with the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years before retreating west?"

"Yes." Zhang Ren nodded and said.

At this moment, at the banquet, the voices of the Kushan people suddenly disappeared, all stopped their drinks and looked at Zhang Ren, Huns, this is a painful memory that the descendants of Yuezhi can never forget.

After all, any country whose king was killed by another, and then the head made into a wine vessel, this was an immense humiliation, and even after three hundred years, Kushan has not yet avenged this debt.

However, Kushan is still roughly aware of the current situation of the Northern Huns, after all, Kushan previously held Central Asia as an empire, and the Northern Huns at that time were also lingering in that area.

Kushan was not incapable of dealing with the Northern Huns, it's just that, at that time, the Kushan Empire was in decline, and as for the strength of the Northern Huns, they seemed strong but were actually just a flash; yet saying they were weak, they met the standard configuration of empire warfare.

This level was just stuck in the throat of the declining Kushan Empire, saying to attack intensely, but with a heap of internal issues in Kushan, might not manage to swallow; or attempting to endure, but Central Asia was splitting at that time, dragging it out might mean before defeating Northern Huns, Central Asia might collapse.

In this situation, Kushan had no choice but to dispatch some troops to deal with the Huns, but unfortunately, these piecemeal reinforcements were meaningless to the Huns, rather due to prolonged time, in the reign of the previous Kushan Emperor, Hupisega, Khwarezm directly split apart.

Now it was a total disaster, the emperor of Kushan realized that they appeared rather powerless against the Huns now, as their northern regions had split, how could they continue sending troops to harass the Huns, in the end, the issue just dissipated.

Similarly, the northern issue became a historical legacy, up to Vasu Deva I who just muddled through, after all, it was a historical issue, couldn't solve it, pass it to successors, hence by Vasu Deva I's time Kushan and Huns had no clashes.

However, a while back, after Vasu Deva I reclaimed Central Asia, the first thing was to inquire Khwarezm's camel riders about the Northern Huns.

At that time, Vasu Deva I was just waiting to establish might through killing, finding the most suitable target to establish might was the Huns.

Having a blood feud with himself, comparing initially it was far more humiliating than the Siege of Baideng with the Han dynasty here, the country got destroyed, and their leader's head was made into a wine vessel, could say, if not later Han and Huns killed million each, then Kushan and Huns hatred qualified as blood feud.

At that time Vasu Deva I was prepared to lose hundred thousand troops to eliminate the Northern Huns, after all, Vasu Deva I was clearer than his subordinates about the fighting power of Huns, just that Military Spirit Legion was enough to give headaches.

However, when Vasu Deva I secretly sent someone to investigate, he found the Huns were already gone, Vasu Deva I was somewhat puzzled, after more extensive exploration, confirming Huns dwelling north and west of the Western Regions really vanished.

This means Vasu Deva I's target to establish might was already gone, it was awkward having nowhere to establish might, although Vasu Deva I already showed his dominance previously, now he needs to prove his achievements to establish an unshakable foundation.

Resultingly his targets disappeared, this is why later Vasu Deva I shifted his target onto the Han Dynasty.

If there were the Huns, Vasu Deva I would stop after establishing might with them, now without the Huns to prove his achievements, Kushan's only choice was a single country, the Han Dynasty.

"Although we don't know how you've been for over a hundred years, given your hatred with the Huns, if you knew where the Northern Huns were, you probably would have attacked already, why haven't you gone?" Carano naturally asked, although his words and tone slightly differed from before, Zhang Ren estimated others prompted Carano to ask.

"Because it's too far, according to our estimation, by the time we reach there, the Huns would likely be finished." Zhang Ren helplessly said, "Our country is quite large, and our position is quite far from the Northern Grasslands."
