    In just half a month, Shanshan and Qiewei were completely wiped out by the Zhao army. Except for the important members of the royal families in the two countries, the rest were escorted to Dunhuang.  Kill them all.

    ??And the powerful families in the two countries, whether they were Han or other ethnic groups, were all killed by the Zhao army in the siege battle.  All the family property was confiscated and became government property.  Without him, because the property of these powerful families has no descendants and close relatives to inherit, and they all died in the rebellion.

    In late autumn, the results of the Northwest War were finally delivered to Zhao Xun.

    "here you go!"

    Zhao Xun secretly applauded, and Situ Liang and others were also happy.  Winning Shanshan and Qiewei will mean that the land of Liangzhou is restored to its old appearance and restored to the level of the mid-Yan Dynasty.  And taking these two places is equivalent to blocking the countries in the Western Region from outside their borders.  Zhao Jun's next actions can completely ignore the influence of the countries in the Western Regions.  At the very least, the enemy can be defended from outside the country.  This victory is of great significance.

    "My lord, although we have won these two places, Mr. Wei also talked about the problems. The sparse population in these two times, especially the proportion of Han people, is too small, which is not conducive to our rule." Pei Yi said in a deep voice.

    Situ Liang said: "Not only that, now the Five Prefectures in the west are not connected to our country, Zhao, so it is difficult for us to provide effective support. And the Five Prefectures in the northwest cannot support too many troops. Facing the attacks of the countries in the Western Regions,  The pressure may be difficult to support. Although the countries in the Western Region have not sent troops directly yet, this action of our army will definitely make Gaochang and other countries feel threatened. Coupled with the secret contacts of the Liangzhou Army, Gaochang and other countries will send troops.  The possibility is still very high.¡±

    "Therefore, my subordinates believe that Mr. Wei's suggestion is still feasible. In Xina and Na, let the foreigners build cities and defend them. On the one hand, it can reduce the pressure on defense, and on the other hand, it can also reduce the foreign population.  ¡±

    "In addition, the troops of Yanju Prefecture can be ordered to go directly west to capture Ganzhou Prefecture and Suzhou Prefecture, so as to establish contact with the five northwest prefectures as soon as possible and complete the exchange of needs. After that, we can not only provide military support, but also  It can relocate people and fill the population vacancies in the five northwest prefectures.¡±

    Zhao Xun nodded and said in a deep voice: "Send an order to the Yanju Prefecture army to attack westward immediately. Send an order to the South Route Army in Lingzhou Prefecture to increase their attack intensity and attract the Liangzhou Army to move south.  As for those two so-called kings who are arrogant and self-reliant, kill them on the spot! For this great achievement, Xu Ye was awarded the title of General Wuwei!"

    King Zhao gave the order, and Dunhuang took action immediately.  Shanshan and Qiewei Liangfu were changed to Shanshan and Qiewei Liangfu, and the government and county system was established.  He also ordered the people of the two places to be enslaved, to build cities, and to move more than 2,000 Han households from Dunhuang and Jiuquan to settle in the two places.  In order to balance the gap between Han and Yi in the two places.

    According to regulations, five cities were built in each of the two places and expanded on the original towns.  All the people in the two places must be mobilized. Those who do not obey will die.

    The lonely kings of the two countries were also beheaded by the Zhao army in public. This move also told the people in Liangzhou and the people in the Western Regions that anyone who opposed the Zhao army and dared to separate their own kingdoms would be barred from their tribes.

    ? And everyone in the three northwest prefectures who made contributions in this battle will be rewarded.  And Xu Ye, officially because of this battle, a captain was promoted to general.

    "General Xu, you did a good job! My lord has ordered General Xu to be the third deputy general. In other words, from now on, you and I are in the same army. Haha It is Xue who can cooperate with General Xu.  What an honor." Xue Qinglan and Xu Ye stood on the hill on horseback, watching tens of thousands of people from both places building the new city.

    "The general is so complimentary! The fact that we can achieve such results this time is all thanks to the sacrifice of the general's soldiers."

    "Okay you and I are both soldiers, so there is no need to say more if you are making excuses like this"

    "General!"

    A scout from a distance rushed towards Xue Qinglan and reported: "General Qi, a hundred miles west of Qiewei Mansion, we found a large number of Wusun people approaching and even attacking the caravan passing by.  "

    Xue Qinglan was startled and said: Wusun people?  Is there anyone trying to take advantage of us now?  However, the Wusun people came to advance eastward and even provoked Zhao Jun. This was a bad sign.

    Xue Qinglan immediately said to Xu Ye: "General Xu, do you know if there are any large Wusun tribes or countries around you?"

    Xu Ye said in a deep voice: "To the west of us, there are quite a few Wusun people, and the closest one is the Tulun tribe. But logically speaking, if we take this place, they should not attack us. They should not attack the caravan.  . And what they need is the passing of the caravan here to replenish the supplies they need. General, if nothing else happens, this must be caused by the secret instigation of other countries. "Xu Ye moved around the two mansions.  Details of the situation?Tell Xue Qinglan once.

    Xue Qinglan looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "The countries in the Western Regions such as Yanqi, Qiuci, Shule, Khotan, Gaochang, etc. all have other ideas about Liangzhou. Naturally, they don't want the land of Liangzhou to be tyrannized by someone.  Now, our Zhao army has captured the three northwest prefectures, destroyed the two countries they supported, and even went to war to build cities and relocate the people. Naturally, they will not stop there, but they can't figure us out this time.  Temptations are inevitable.¡±

    "General, do you want to defeat the Wusun people to the west?"

    Xue Qinglan said coldly: "Instead of defeating us, we will devour this tribe! This is a large population! These countries in the Western Regions really think that our Zhao army is as vulnerable as the Liangzhou army.  This operation will scare them into fear and make them afraid to attack easily. "

    "There are currently only six thousand defenders in the two places. If the army is dispatched, I'm afraid"

    "It doesn't matter. Although there are only 6,000 elites in these two places, there are still 4,000 new soldiers. There is no problem in letting them monitor the two mansions and confuse the enemy's detailed operations. Although I don't dare to say how long they can hide it, as long as they can be dragged out  We can win in two days," Xue Qinglan said solemnly.

    "General, are you saying that we need to bring those four thousand surrendered soldiers with us in this battle?" Xu Ye frowned and said, "Although they are loyal to Zhao now, their combat strength is probably too far behind our cavalry. Originally, they were  They are used as local government soldiers and county soldiers. As combat soldiers, I am afraid they need to continue training. "

    Immediately, Xu Ye smiled bitterly and said: "However, the combat power of our soldiers is far beyond theirs. Even the equipment of our soldiers is not comparable to theirs."

    Xue Qinglan said solemnly: "This time we want to achieve success in a battle. If we don't send them out, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve the greatest success. Let's do this. I will personally lead our cavalry in front and kill the enemy's outpost. General Xu will take them behind,  Help us fight with the wind when we attack the Tulum tribe. Of course, there will be no problem in helping us take care of the prisoners and collect the loot."

    "Well! Since the general has this intention, then the general will accompany the general to fight against the Tulum tribe."

    Immediately, five thousand Zhao Jun cavalry followed Xue Qinglan and ran to the west.

    A hundred miles away to the west of Qiewei Mansion, a team of three thousand people is camping here.  The leader of this army was named Tuman, who was the younger brother of the great chief of the Tulun tribe. The Zhao army had conquered both countries and had little relationship with them. As long as the Zhao army did not attack them, they still hoped that the Zhao army could maintain its past.  Business.  Therefore, when they first learned that Qiewei State had been captured by the Zhao army, they did not provoke the Zhao army.

    However, a few days ago, their leaders reached an agreement with several countries to the west to attack the Zhao army in Qieweifu.  Of course, they also heard that there were not many Zhao troops in the west of Liangzhou, and they were alone with no reinforcements behind them, and the Liangzhou army was also attacking them from the east.  The Tulun tribe learned about the situation and knew that if they won this battle, they would also get considerable benefits.

    So, Tu Lun tribe began to prepare to attack Qie Weifu.  In their opinion, the Zhao army building a city in Qiewei Mansion was simply because they lacked enough troops to resist, so they prepared to build a city for defense.

    "General, five miles away is the opponent's camp. There are three thousand people in total. They have camped here and are preparing to rest here for the night."

    Xue Qinglan nodded and said: "Very good, the first and second battalions will charge with my general, the third and fourth battalions are on the left and right sides, and the fifth battalion will detour behind the enemy camp. This time, we will annihilate them all in one fell swoop.  We can¡¯t let anyone go. Even the small Wusun tribe dares to take advantage of our Zhao army.¡±

    The 3rd, 4th, and 53rd Battalions immediately ran to the left and right, slowed down, formed a large circle, and moved toward the enemy's large circle five miles away.

    Not long after, news came from the left and right that the third battalion had arrived at the designated location.  Xue Qinglan looked at the enemy camp in the distance under the dim twilight, and ordered in a cold voice: "The whole army is ready, charge for me!"

    In an instant, two thousand cavalry followed Xue Qinglan and charged toward the Tulum camp five miles away.  The rumbling sound suddenly shook the sky, startling the entire Wusun camp.  Suddenly, there was a commotion in the Wusun camp.

    "Zhao Junit's Zhao Jundamn it, why are they here? Counterattack! Use bows and arrows! Shoot the opponent's war horses!" In the officer's orders, the three thousand Wusun troops were like headless flies.  They reluctantly began to assemble, raising their bows and arrows one after another, preparing to attack the charging Zhao army.

    "Competing with bows and arrows? Am I afraid? The whole army is ready for a rain of arrows!"

    ¡°Whoosh whoosh¡­¡±

    Above the two thousand cavalry, a black cloud suddenly flew out amid a buzzing sound.  Black clouds slid across the sky and fell on the Wusun soldiers in a moment.  Wusun soldiers are not as well-dressed as Zhao Jun.?, a large piece fell immediately.  The Wusun people's arrows only caused some casualties to the Zhao army.  Zhao Jun's soldiers are all wearing armor.  Especially the key areas are protected by exquisite armor.

    Just after two rounds of arrow rain, Zhao Jun¡¯s cavalry rushed into the Wusun camp.

    "Counterattack! Counterattack!" Tuman screamed miserably. He never thought that he would encounter a sneak attack by Zhao Jun.  Didn¡¯t you say that Zhao Jun¡¯s troops were insufficient?  Why is this happening?

    At this moment, there was a huge chaos on both sides and behind the Wusun army. On both sides and behind, a Zhao army of more than a thousand cavalry suddenly rushed out, like a sharp knife, stabbing the Wusun people all over, killing them.  The Wusun people were all overturned on their backs, and their bodies were scattered all over the ground.

    "We've been ambushed We've been ambushed by the Zhao army" The Wusun soldiers were immediately frightened and shouted in panic. They fled in all directions. However, the camp was surrounded by Zhao soldiers. Where could they escape?  ?

    In the end, the whole Wusun army was wiped out here, and its leader, General Tuman, was also defeated by the Zhao army.

    "After a short rest, we will continue marching and we will definitely annihilate the Tulum tribe!"

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    The Tulun tribe is composed of more than a dozen small tribes. They are distributed in the half-grassland and half-Gobi area to the west of Qiewei Prefecture for nearly a thousand miles from north to south.  They had no intention of attacking Zhao Jun this time.  However, according to Gaochang and other countries, the Zhao army now has few troops and can completely swallow it up.  Otherwise, when Zhao Jun's reinforcements arrive in the future, with Zhao Jun's arrogant attitude, his Tulun tribe will sooner or later be destroyed by Zhao Jun like Qiewei Kingdom.  That's why the Tulun Ministry sent people to test it out.  Therefore, at this moment, fifteen thousand soldiers of the Tulum tribe have gathered in the center of the Tulum tribe.

    About fifteen or six miles southeast of the Tulum camp, there is a low hill. The hills are covered with lush forests and stretch for dozens of miles, extending into the territory that is not yet under the jurisdiction of the government.  This forest is also the only woodland in the southern region of Tulum, and it is also a natural protective network to the east of Tulum.

    At this moment, in front of a forest in the south, densely packed cavalry, numbering in the thousands, emerged.  They were the Zhao Army cavalry brought by Xue Qinglan personally and came from Qiewei Mansion.  In addition to the 5,000 Zhao Jun cavalry, there were also 4,000 surrendered soldiers from Shanshan and Qiewei who followed closely behind under the leadership of Xu Ye.

    These surrendered soldiers were more qualified soldiers selected from the original soldiers of the two countries. Their equipment was far inferior to that of Zhao Jun. They had no armor, and they were all simple cloth and leather armors. Their weapons were  They mainly used spears and lances, with knives and bows and arrows, but their morale was pretty good.  After all, they had trained behind Zhao Jun for more than ten days, and coupled with Zhao Jun's military discipline and treatment, they were not good enough.  Their family members are all in the two mansions and enjoy better treatment. They have to fight for Zhao Jun.  Of course, what's more important is that they participated in the killing of the powerful families and kings of the two lands, and their hands were stained with the blood of these powerful families and royal families.

    Xue Qinglan was at the front of the team, holding a spear in his hand, staring coldly at the clearly visible fire a few miles away, where was their target this time.  As long as the tens of thousands of troops there are destroyed, the Tulum tribe will no longer pose any threat.

    Xu Ye, who was standing next to Xue Qinglan, said: "General, it seems that the Tulun tribe is still waiting for news about the soldiers who came to test our soldiers! These bastards are so desperate that they don't even have any arrangements for sentry duty."

    ??

    "Let the scout team go up and deal with the patrols and guards around the camp first. After we get close, we can launch a sneak attack. This operation must be done after they have rested, so that they will completely cease to exist.  "

    Teams of scouts were sent out and disappeared from sight.  These scouts are all the elite of the Zhao army's cavalry. It is easy to deal with the other party's guards and patrol soldiers. What's more, the people here have no idea that there will be an invasion from outside, and the guards are not tight.

    A moment later, a cavalryman rushed over, clasped his fists on his horse and saluted: "General Qi, the scouts have sent news that all the opponent's sentry posts have been killed."

    "Well done!" Xue Qinglan praised, then turned around and ordered, "Slay towards the enemy camp, and merit will be counted with heads! Anyone holding a weapon will be killed without mercy!"

    Tens of thousands of horses galloped in the forest. Under the cool full moon, the overwhelming Zhao army was like a river bursting its banks, galloping towards the Tulum tribe¡¯s camp several miles away

    At this time, the soldiers, leaders and chiefs of Tulum tribe were all alerted by the sound of horse hooves. They stood up one after another and looked to the east in fear. After a while, someone shouted, "Zhao Jun is coming! Zhao Jun is killing  coming!"

    Just came out of the middle campTuhe, the leader of Tulum tribe, and the nobles of the tribe saw that in the darkness in the east, an army that could not be seen was sweeping towards them. They were so frightened that they turned around and stumbled towards the rear, but it was too late.  Zhao Jun's forwards have rushed in like a tsunami.

    "Kill! Anyone holding a weapon will be killed without mercy!" Xue Qinglan stabbed a Tulum primary school student to death with a spear, shouting loudly.

    ??Sneak attack on the enemy camp, but Tulum was defenseless.  The morale of Sergeant Zhao's soldiers became more and more exciting, and the army was like a rainbow. They rushed into the soldiers' camp that had just been built by the Tulum tribe. Most of the more than 15,000 soldiers were sleeping, and some were awakened without knowing it.  At a loss.  They never expected that Zhao Jun would cross an area of ??two to three hundred miles and appear in the tribe's headquarters camp.

    One after another, the ropes were cut and the tents collapsed. The soldiers of the Tulun tribe woke up from their dreams and were terrified. They cried and fled in all directions, but they could not escape the horse hooves and sharp swords of the Zhao army's cavalry and the newly surrendered soldiers from the two regions.  , the soldiers were killed with heads rolling in their heads, corpses littered the fields, and the blood slowly soaked the earth

    After a night of fighting until dawn, the entire Tulum headquarters was reduced to ruins, and all the tents were burned.  As for Sergeant Zhao, while gathering the prisoners, he was chasing the Wusun people of the Tulun tribe who were desperately fleeing

    Xue Qinglan and Xu Ye only used less than 10,000 sergeants to successfully attack the Tulun tribe who had assembled to attack Zhao Jun.  They beheaded 13,000 soldiers of the Tulun tribe, killed all the nobles, chiefs, and elders, and captured more than 28,000 women and children. The Tulun tribe was almost completely destroyed, and only a few were able to escape and rush to other countries in the west.

    ??Subsequently, Xue Qinglan and Xu Ye led nearly 10,000 Zhao troops and escorted tens of thousands of Wusun women and children from the Tulun tribe to Dunhuang.  Afterwards, they will be dispersed and placed in the Five Prefectures in the northwest, becoming people under the rule of Zhao Jun.

    Poor Tulum tribe, they failed to seek benefits and were destroyed in one battle.
