    Chapter 455: Attack Hanhai City, I am the vanguard

    "You don't know what crime you committed?" Zhang Xuan was extremely angry and sneered.

    Suddenly, he raised his finger and pointed at Cheng Qianli and angrily said, "Since you are pretending to be confused in front of me, then I will tell you."

    "Have you ever reported to the imperial court that you moved the Beiting Protectorate from Hanhai City to Barkol? Why did you deceive me about the Tuqishi invasion of Beiting?" As soon as Zhang Xuan's voice fell, Cheng Qianli forced himself  He argued, "Your Majesty, I led the Beiting Protectorate to move to Barkol. I am not good at making decisions. I have attacked the imperial court three times, one by one, and betrayed the imperial court. I united with the Great Eater and the Geluolu people to harass the Beiting.  In desperation, I prepared to move south."

    "I have gone to court three times, but I have not received any reply from the court. Perhaps I want to come, or because of the turmoil in the Western Region and Beiting, the messenger I sent was intercepted by Tuqishi."

    "At that time, the Tuqi Shi people's 20,000 troops attacked Beiting in two directions and defeated more than ten cities. In desperation, I had no choice but to raise my troops and move south, leading the army to station on the line of Barkol to stop the Tuqi Shi people from invading southward."

    Zhang Xuan was stunned. He had seen shameless people before. He had never seen such a shameless person. He never thought that Cheng Qianli would be such a shameless person. It seemed that Cheng Qianli had already made up his mind.  si does not admit the account

    "So, as the Governor of Beiting, you lost most of Beiting's territory to the Tuqi Shiren, and you concealed it from the imperial court. Not only are you not guilty, but you are also meritorious?"

    Zhang Xuan's face became extremely gloomy, "You are so shameless to stop the Tuqishi people from invading Cheng Qianli southward."

    "I came to Barkol, and I encountered the Tuqi Shi cavalry on the way. Cheng Qianli is right under your nose on the outskirts of Barkol City. The Tuqi Shi cavalry is plundering merchants everywhere. You still have the nerve to stop the Tuqi Shi cavalry.  Is it meritorious to ride on Shiren?"

    "Barkol's garrison is close to 20,000, and Beiting's Tuqishi troops totaled less than 30,000. It wasn't something to be afraid of at first, but you couldn't retreat with your troops, so that more than ten cities in Beiting fell. Cheng Qianli, you did it in front of me.  How dare you be so eloquent and arrogant without any thought of repentance."

    "You bastard, so shameless"

    "With 500 soldiers, I was able to annihilate the Thousand-man Tuqishi Army and you and other 20,000 troops. However, I was entrenched in Barkol and was too afraid to leave. The majesty of our Chinese imperial court was wiped out."

    Zhang Xuan suddenly waved his hand and shouted angrily, "Nan Ba, decree to depose Cheng Qianli Yiying from his official position and military position, demote him to a commoner, escort him to Beijing, wait for me to return to Beijing from the Western Expedition, and then deal with him."

    "Babaili sent an urgent message to Pu Gu Huai'en, and ordered Pu Gu Huai'en to rush to Barkol within ten days to take over from Cheng Qianli."

    Zhang Xuan stamped his feet, raising a circle of smoke and dust

    Cheng Qianli's face suddenly became extremely pale, his shoulders trembled slightly, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he collapsed on the ground unable to say a word. He did not expect that the emperor would be so unkind and decisive, and directly dismissed him.  In less than a cup of tea, he went from a second-grade official and a local official to a prisoner.

    In fact, he did not intend to deceive the emperor, but he was afraid of the powerful Tuqishi cavalry and did not dare to fight. He was afraid that he would be defeated in a head-on battle with the Tuqishi people and would be infamous for thousands of years and ruin his reputation for a lifetime, so he retreated step by step and gave in.  He must not be prepared to wait for the emperor's Western Expedition army to enter the Western Regions, and then lead a counterattack to recapture Beiting. In this way, even if the emperor knows that he has made some mistakes, he will not be dismissed from office.

    But the emperor came too quickly and punished him too harshly. Little did he know that Zhang Xuan had already decided to take him down before he went on the expedition, and Pugu Huaien came to replace him.

    Cheng Qianli¡¯s subordinate officers were a little panicked, fearing that the emperor would implicate many people starting from Cheng Qianli.

    After all, if Cheng Qianli is guilty, his subordinates are also to blame

    But the emperor was obviously not prepared to attack a large area and had to take down Cheng Qianli. However, for the sake of the stability of Beiting, he decided to only hold the culprit accountable, not the followers.

    Cheng Qianli was captured by the soldiers on the spot, his official robe was removed, and he was put into a prison car to be escorted back to Beijing.

    Officials and generals from several floors above the Beiting Protectorate gathered in the lobby of Commander Cheng Qianli's Mansion in Barkol City. Zhang Xuan put on a bright emperor's armor, holding a Longquan sword in his hand, and strode in with a solemn expression. Behind him was the same heroic figure in armor.  The two sassy female generals Li Tengkong and Guo Fu, and then the accompanying general Nan Jiyun

    "I pay my respects to Your Majesty, long live my emperor"

    Amidst the shouts of long live the voices of the officials and generals of the Beiting Protectorate, Zhang Xuan strode up to the handsome hall and took a seat. Guo Fu and Li Tengkong sat on his left and right, while Nan Jiyun stood behind him.

    "You're all dead," Zhang Xuan let out a long breath and said loudly, "My imperial commander personally conquered the Western Regions, with the intention of quelling the foreign invasion and all the barbarians in one fell swoop, and bringing the entire Northern Court of the Western Regions under the jurisdiction of the imperial court."

    ?"I have been traveling all the way. Wherever I go, the people's livelihood is in ruins and chaos. The cavalry and the cavalry are plundering merchants everywhere. The trade routes are almost cut off. As the emperor of China, I feel very ashamed - my 20,000 troops are whipping up in Bali.  , wasting food, grass and national crossbows in vain, watching helplessly as the Tuqi Shi people burned, killed and looted."

    "Some businessmen once told me that the Beiting Protectorate has long existed in name only. The Chinese army and horses are just decorations in Beiting, and they don't dare to fight against the Tuqishi people. I'm here to ask you, is this really the case? You are all mine.  Are your ministers, court officials, and military generals really scared out of their wits by Tuqishi?"

    Zhang Xuan¡¯s voice was fierce and he suddenly slapped the table

    Everyone's face turned red, they were speechless in shame, and they lowered their heads.

    "Raise your head, look at me and answer me, are you scared out of your wits by the Tuqi Shiren? Are you too afraid to fight?" Zhang Xuan shouted loudly.

    Sun Ting, the commander of the Han Navy affiliated to the Beiting Protectorate, gritted his teeth, bowed out of duty and said with a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, I know that I am guilty, and I am so ashamed that I am willing to ask your Majesty for orders, so I will immediately lead my troops out of the city and attack  Hanhai City, a decisive battle with the Tuqishi people, to wash away the shame of the Han navy retreating without a fight."

    "Your Majesty, please have mercy. I will finally fight to avenge my humiliation." Many generals followed Sun Ting, knelt down and shouted in unison.

    In fact, these generals had many complaints about Cheng Qianli's retreat without a fight, just because Cheng Qianli had been running Beiting for many years, and he was the chief officer, so no one dared to oppose his order.

    Zhang Xuan sat there, and out of the corner of his eye he glanced at the dozen or so civil servants and military generals headed by Ouyang Jie, the deputy governor of Beiting, who were standing aside silently. Knowing that these people were Cheng Qianli's confidants, Cheng Qianli refused to fight.  The retreat from Barkol City has a lot to do with the bewitchment of these people.

    Although Zhang Xuan was very dissatisfied, he could not punish these people at this time, because after all, he still had to consider the stability of the military morale of the 20,000 Han navy and the smooth transition of the situation in the entire Beiting. Of course, once his Xi  When Zheng's army arrives at Barkol or Yiwu, and Pugu Huai'en arrives with his 20,000 flying leopard troops, he will no longer have so many worries.

    "Okay, I'll give you a chance." Zhang Xuan stood up slowly, "Nan Ba, I order you to temporarily act as Admiral Han, Sun Ting, and I canonize you as Admiral Han, Deputy Commander-in-Chief of Beiting March, Er Er.  We gathered the entire army and left Barkol early tomorrow morning to attack Hanhai City."

    "I, Concubine Li Guifei and Concubine Duan will personally join the army and serve as vanguards in the army. I will use this battle to declare to the barbarians in the Beiting of the Western Regions that the majesty of our Chinese country's military is inviolable."

    "Long live your Majesty the Holy Ming Emperor"

    At three o'clock, Nan Jiyun and Sun Ting led 20,000 Han navy soldiers out of Barkol to attack Hanhai City. Zhang Xuan, Li Tengkong and Guo Fu were also in the army. The emperor was not afraid to personally participate in the battle in the face of danger, which greatly mobilized the morale of the Han navy soldiers.

    From Barkol to Hanhai City, the straight-line distance was actually less than two hundred miles. Nan Jiyun made a decisive decision and led his army through the Gobi desert, taking a shortcut to Hanhai City. He arrived at the outskirts of Hanhai City in the afternoon of the third day.

    The Chinese army was attacking in a big way. The Tuqishi people got the news two hours ago and closed the city gate tightly, assuming a posture of holding on and waiting for help.

    In fact, at this time, there were only 10,000 Tuqi Shi soldiers and horses guarding Hanhai City. Zhang Xuan's hundreds of thousands of troops marched westward. The main force of the Tuqi Shi people began to recover Tuqi Shi and prepared for a decisive battle with the Chinese army. At this moment, the remaining troops were  Those in Beiting are only members of a small tribe in the north of Tuqishi. As for the Tuqishi cavalry who are looting everywhere, they are just stragglers from various tribes, similar to the wandering bandits in the Central Plains.

    Because it was getting late, Zhang Xuan ordered Han Haijun to camp on a high slope more than ten miles away from Hanhai City.

    Early on the next morning, the 20,000-strong Han navy split into two groups, led by Nan Jiyun and Sun Ting respectively, and set out to outflank Hanhai City.

    Hanhai City is the seat of Beiting. The city defense is strong and it is the largest city in Beiting. If Tuqi Shiren cannot hold on, it will be a problem. However, Nan Jiyun knows that Tuqi Shiren is not good at defending the city, and sooner or later they will still suppress it.  Nan Jiyun couldn't hold back and went out of the city to fight directly with Han Haijun, so Nan Jiyun was not in a hurry. Instead, he ordered the two armies to approach slowly and make a siege.

    Two lines of Han navy were thrust into Hanhai City like two arrows. Inside Hanhai City, Shi's soldiers suddenly mounted and guarded the city gate. No matter how much the Han navy soldiers scolded the formation, they refused to come out.

    This was not quite like the sturdy style of the Tuqi Shiren, which made Zhang Xuan judge that there must not be 20,000 Tuqi Shiren in the city, maybe even less than 10,000. Thinking of this, he suddenly waved his hand, and an iron man beside him  Wei raised the Modao in his hand high, making a signal

    Nan Jiyun immediately rode over, bowed down on the horse and said, "Your Majesty, you will be polite at the end."

    "Nan Ba, escort the hundreds of Tuqi Shiren captured along the way in front of the formation, and behead them all in public." Zhang Xuan pursed his lips and said,The voice is extremely cold

    The so-called kindness does not control the army. The two countries are at war and the army is marching westward. Killing is inevitable. He does not know the kindness of women. Moreover, these robbers on horseback rob merchants and people, and they have no idea how many lives they have.  The crime has long been punished and is to be continued.
