Liu Xin shook his head and said, "After you go back, thank the Queen Mother for me for your kindness. It is enough to have my men and horses in front of you."
Kleia's heart "thumped" for a while, and asked cautiously: "Is your majesty angry?"
Liu Xin laughed and said: "How angry I am. The war a few years ago has already damaged Kangju's vitality. Now the most important thing is to recuperate and regenerate, and also to guard against Guishuang in the south. As long as Kangju remains stable, it is right. My greatest support!"
While talking, I suddenly saw a messenger hurried in, kneeling on one knee, holding a red chicken feather letter high in both hands, and said loudly: "Your Majesty Enlightenment, emergency military affairs!"
Liu Xin took the chicken feather letter, glanced hurriedly, sighed, and said, "It's really a mountain and rain, and the wind is all over the building!"
Xu Huang hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, what happened?"
Liu Xin handed the feather letter in her hand to Xu Huang, and said lightly: “In Dawan’s civil turmoil, the nobles launched a mutiny, and the whereabouts of Morzhiti is unknown!”
Xu Huang was taken aback and said: "Dawan was in a mess, and the connection with Kangju and Parthia Concession was severed. A conspiracy is necessary. Please make a decision early!"
Liu Xin said disapprovingly: "Xiao Xiaoren can't become a big climate. I have long planned to bring Dawan under the control of the Western Regions Protector. If it is not chaotic, it will give me the opportunity to do it! Do you remember? "Treaty of Shule"? My big man has the right to garrison troops in Dawan! Gongming, you will immediately lead the First Army into Guishan City, take down all the nobles who have committed troubles, find the whereabouts of Morzhiti, and help our army Go west and remove obstacles!"
Xu Huang's spirit was lifted, and he folded his hands and said: "The final commander will get the order!"
The "Treaty of Shule" stipulated that the Han army had the right to move freely and stationed in Dawan, and similar treaties signed between Dahan, Kangju and Wusun also gave the Dahan army such power. However, in order to prevent stimulating anti-Han sentiment in neighboring countries, Liu Xin stationed 10,000 people in Kangju in order to protect the mother and child of the class. Later, after increasing to 20,000 people, Liu Xin did not really exercise this power. Some troops need to be transferred to Kangju and Parthia concession through Dawan. He will also send someone to note Mozhiti in advance to obtain understanding.
But this time is different. Liu Xin will formally exercise the power granted to him by the Shule Treaty for the first time. The First Corps, which was camping and restoring outside the fortress, smashed the Uzbeli Pass in a thunderous manner, entered the territory of Dawan, and soon came to Yucheng, the easternmost city of Dawan.
Because Yucheng is close to Seoul, many caravans going to the east to do business will stay here, and the city has become increasingly prosperous and lively.
Because there are often a large number of caravans passing by, when Xu Huang’s army arrived outside Yucheng, the soldiers and people in the city were still unaware of it, thinking that the dust in the distance was another large caravan, even the gate of the city. Did not intend to close. Xu Huang waved a big axe and rushed into the city first.
The magistrate of Yucheng County, Amazawa, was shocked. At this time, it was impossible for him to escape from the city. He had to harden his scalp and brought hundreds of soldiers to greet him. It has always been friendly, so why are you waiting for a crime for no reason!"
Yucheng and Dahan had frequent business exchanges, and Amaza was also fluent in Chinese. He was sternly reprimanded, and even no translation was required.
Xu Huang laughed, waved his axe, and put a big axe on Amze’s neck, and sternly shouted: “In the Dawan civil strife, someone intends to rebel. Xu is hereby to help Dawan Wang in rebellion by the order of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. King Qin? Still want to rebel?"
To be honest, Amazawa just received an order from Guishan City yesterday to block the border with Dahan and prohibit entry of Han Chinese. But Amazawa also had his own business in Yucheng. He wanted to use this time to hoard more goods so that he could make huge profits after the business route was cut off, so he didn't take any measures.
Now, with the sharp axe resting on his neck, Amazawa only felt the slightest chill through his forehead, where he dared to obey Guishancheng’s orders, and hurriedly said: "The general said that the villain does not know the situation. One side."
Xu Huang shook his wrist and brushed the axe against Amazawa's scalp. Amazawa only felt a chill on his scalp, and when he reached out his hand, a few strands of broken hair drifted away. If Xu Huang's big axe was slightly down an inch, he would have already died.
However, Xu Huang laughed loudly and said: "Since you have no objection, Xu will spare your life. Soon there will be hundreds of thousands of troops passing through from now on. You must respond well, provide drinking water, food and grass, and make no mistakes. Otherwise, huh. Humph… "
The entire Dawan is no more than 60,000 soldiers and horses, while the Han army has hundreds of thousands. Amazawa had a little bit of careful thinking at first, but now he has already forgotten it, and quickly said: "Don’t worry, general, don’t worry. , This is a matter for the villain!"
Xu Huang ignored him, strangled his horse, and shouted, "Go!"
A hundred thousand troops passed through the city, leaving behind a cloud of dust and many dumbfounded merchants and people. Seeing that the Han army was brave and sturdy and acting like wind, Amazawa couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, secretly by luck, thanks to him, he didn't set up obstacles, otherwise he wouldn't know how to die.
Xu Huang went all the way to the west and conquered more than a dozen towns in a row, all effortlessly, and in only two hours, the 10,000 Qingqi forward he led had advanced to a place only thirty miles away from Guishan City.
Suddenly, there was a heavy smoke and dust ahead, and a team of soldiers and horses swept over. One of them immediately shouted: "Listen, the Han people in front, please return to your country. Dawan does not welcome you!"
Xu Huang did not answer, but raised his axe sharply and shouted, "Kill!"
Following this order, the cavalry of the Han army urged their war horses and fired a thousand arrows, killing the opponent by surprise. The man who shouted was taken aback, turned his head and left. He was hit by three or four feather arrows on his back. Fortunately, he fleeed back to the city. The thousands of soldiers and horses he brought were either killed by the arrows, or Was killed by the Han army knife.
Xu Huang led the army, stepping on the corpses of Dawan soldiers and rushing down Guishan City. At this time, the four gates of Guishan City were closed, and there were many swords and guns on the front of the city, as if facing an enemy. Xu Huang came out more and more, shouting toward the city head: "Listen to the people in the city, the Emperor of Han has a purpose. Those who surrender will not die, and those who refuse to surrender will be punished with treason!"
Suddenly a person came out from the top of the city, pointing to Xu Huang and yelling, "I am not a vassal of your Han Chinese, so how can I tell you that? If you are acquainted, go back as soon as possible, otherwise you will die without a place to be buried! Ah... "
Before he finished his words, he heard a "swish", a feather arrow pierced through the air and penetrated his forehead. The huge force took his whole body and flew back, with a loud "bang" When he hit the pillar of the tower, the cluster of arrows had come out from behind his head, nailing him to the pillar alive. Suddenly there was an exclamation from the city head, and everyone was rushing to save the man, but they were already gone.
This arrow was shot by Tai Shi Ci in the Han army. In this western expedition, although Liu Xin only brought three hundred and fifty thousand people with four regiments, a lot of warriors from other regiments were mobilized. Tai Shici was assigned to the first regiment, and together with Pound, became Xu Huang's Deputy. Just now he heard the people speak wildly in the formation, and couldn't hold back it, so he shot an arrow away. Two strokes of more than five hundred steps, although within the range of the Han army bow and arrow, but also to the limit, and the accuracy of the arrow is even more astounding. Looking at the generals, apart from Huang Zhong, few people can beat him in archery.
At this time, Xu Huang once again issued an ultimatum: "Listen to the people in the city, and give you an hour to consider! An hour later, if you don't open the city gate and surrender again, on the day the city is broken, don't blame my army for being ruthless!"
Suddenly, another person came out from the top of the city, shouting loudly: "I and the big man swear not to be at odds with each other, I would rather die than surrender!"
Xu Huang ignored him, and had already turned his back.
Because of the rush of the Dawan civil turmoil, this is not the focus of the Foreign Intelligence Office. Therefore, the situation of the civil turmoil is unknown, and Xu Huang does not know that the person who just spoke is the mastermind of the civil turmoil, Dawan noble Ati. engraved.
Atike is the richest man in Dawan. He owns half of the land in Guishan City. In the past two years, he has made capital from the business activities of the East and the West. With money, he gradually grew up with the ambition to replace him with Mora, but he never found a chance. Later, Caracalla sent a mission to Dawan, stayed in an inn he opened, and got on the line with two strokes. Caracalla sent people to pretend to be a caravan and brought a batch of soldiers to Attick. Some of Attic's family were slaves, and soon an army was armed.
In the past few years, Dawan’s life has been getting better and better, but Mozhiti didn’t know that he was prepared for danger, and gradually became addicted to alcohol. The army was also negligent in training. As a result, Attic was given an opportunity to take advantage of it. Suddenly, he took the trouble and occupied it in one fell swoop. Royal palace.
Atieke thought that he had Da Qin's support, and immediately sent people to cut off contact with the Dahan, but unexpectedly the Han army received the news and immediately sent troops, hitting him off guard. The one who was shot to death by Tai Shici just now was Atike’s eldest son, Tu Muji, and it was his second son Gerhu who blocked the Han army outside the city and was seriously injured. Atike had only these two sons, and he was killed and wounded in a blink of an eye. He was in chaos, and there was only hatred in his heart. How could he surrender
However, Xu Huang did not expect the people in the city to surrender on their own initiative. He deliberately gave them a time limit in order to wait for the arrival of the infantry battalion behind. With the experience of the previous wars, the cavalry of the Han army has now strengthened the training of the city’s offensive and defensive warfare, but after all, the cavalry training is not easy, and the siege will inevitably bring huge casualties. If it is a last resort, Liu Xin will not Let them sacrifice in vain. Liu Xin's requirements for the various arms have always been division of labor and cooperation, each performing its own duties, and it is most appropriate for infantry to do the siege.
At this time, Liu Xin, who was still in the Uzbeli Fortress, had just inspected the defenses of the fortress and instructed Zhang Ren to mobilize 30,000 soldiers to prepare to take over the defense of Dawan. The entire Western Regions Legion now has 150,000 people, of which 20,000 are stationed in the Dahan Concession in Partia, 20,000 are stationed in Kangju, Uzbeli Fortress and Turugert Fortress each have 20,000. The remaining 70,000 people are mainly responsible for the security and daily operation of military depots along the route of the Western Regions. These military depots are the lifeline from Chang'an to the front. Both for the troops stationed in other cities and the merchants who are now traveling north, they are extremely important, so they are always guarded by heavy soldiers. Now, Dawan suddenly changed, and Liu Xin had to mobilize manpower from these depots to ensure that Dawan could be completely controlled by him.
As soon as Zhang Ren took the order out, he heard the report from his guards, and the navy deputy Jiang Qin begged to see him.
