    The battle of Tulun tribe shocked Gaochang and other countries in the Western Regions.  In their opinion, the Zhao army in the Five Prefectures in the northwest was not strong enough to hold on to the place. Faced with attacks from the east and west, it was able to wipe out nearly 20,000 armored men and 30,000 subordinates in one night.  Yu's Tulum tribe.  In an instant, they felt that Zhao Jun was not so restless.

    The heart that was ready to move under the temptation of the Liangzhou Army envoy was chilled.  At this moment, they finally understood that the situation of Zhao Jun mentioned by Liangzhou Army was not that true.

    As a result, Gaochang and other countries also stopped and prepared to head east.  They all began to send people to the five prefectures in the northwest of Liangzhou to check the situation of Zhao Jun. They would wait until the facts were found out and make plans.

    "Okay! General Xue, General Xu, your battle this time has reduced a lot of pressure on us. I think this battle will also make Gaochang and other countries dare not underestimate us. At least in the short term,  , they will not fight again. As for who will fight whom in the future, it is not certain." In Dunhuang City, Wei Zilin couldn't help but feel good when he saw the Wusun people from the Tulun tribe being escorted back by the soldiers.

    Xue Qinglan smiled and said: "This battle is just to defeat the opponent unprepared. Otherwise, even if we can win, the casualties will be not small, and we will not take down the entire Tulum tribe in one fell swoop. These prisoners will trouble Master Wei and other governments."  The county adults have made arrangements, and I hope the county adults will not blame us for causing trouble to them." Xue Qinglan also seemed to be in a good mood.  He couldn't be unhappy after defeating the Tulun tribe in one battle, especially since the losses were minimal.

    Wei Zilin smiled and said: "No trouble, absolutely no trouble. If it happens like this every time, I think the officials in all prefectures and counties will be happy about it."

    Wei Zilin¡¯s words are true. After all, the more people there are under the rule, the more prosperous the county will be. This is also the same credit.

    Xu Ye said in a deep voice: "Although many Wusun people from the Tulun tribe have been captured this time, this will make the proportion of Han people in the five northwest prefectures, especially the newly included Shanshan and Qiewei prefectures, even larger.  It seems weak. This will make it inconvenient for us to govern here.¡±

    Wei Zilin said: "No need to worry, the lord has already sent an order to the army of Yanju Prefecture to march westward. It is estimated that it won't be long before Ganzhou Prefecture and Suzhou Prefecture will be captured by our army. By then, the entire Liangzhou Prefecture will  The western and northern prefectures will become one. At that time, our five western prefectures in Liangzhou will become one with the three northern prefectures, and then connect with Xiazhou in the east. In this way, we will continue to migrate.  The common people came to the counties in the western part of Liangzhou to fill the gap of Han people."

    As he said that, Wei Zilin's face turned cold, "Therefore, the foreigners in Shanshan and Qiewei who originally rebelled with the kings of the two countries will all try their best to build cities, water conservancy projects, roads and reclaim wasteland here. People who are not my race will have different minds.  , these foreign Hu Yi can finally integrate into our Han people, otherwise, they can only become a stepping stone for us Han people to settle here. "

    "Since Yanju Mansion's army is heading west, do we need to head east from Jiuquan and attack Yanju Mansion from both sides?" Xu Ye asked in a deep voice.

    "There is no need for this. Whether it is Ganzhou Prefecture or Suzhou Prefecture, there are not many Liangzhou troops in both places. In addition, we have established internal forces in both places. Once the army arrives, the two places will not be able to resist it. Furthermore,  Although we completely wiped out the Tulun tribe this time, we still have to be prepared for Gao Chang and other congresses to send troops to attack," Wei Zilin said with a smile.

    After settling the Wusun people of the Tulun tribe, a lot of labor was added to Shanshan and Qiewei prefectures.  Cities were built in the two places, and the progress of land reclamation was accelerated a lot.  Wei Zilin did not strictly inspect the spies from the Western Regions within his territory. This made it even more obvious that Zhao Jun was confident.  Of course, this is also a sign of tightness on the inside and looseness on the outside.

    At the end of October, winter has begun in Liangzhou, and the weather is gradually getting colder.  But in Ganzhou Prefecture, the war continued.  The army of Yanju Mansion did not move, but if it moved, it would be like thunder descending and an angry dragon rising out of the sea.  The 30,000-strong army was divided into three and headed straight for Ganzhou Prefecture.  The remaining 20,000 troops pushed eastward, forcing the troops in the eastern region of Liangzhou to dare not support them.

    "Report Sir, the Zhao army has defeated the four counties of Lingju, Poqiang, Anyi, and Linqiang. Now, the army has been pushed to the east of the city fifty miles away."

    "Where are our reinforcements? Didn't I send someone to Longxi for reinforcements? Have you ever inquired about the movements of our reinforcements?" Xu Mu, the governor of Ganzhou Prefecture, asked with a gloomy face.

    "Reporting to your lord, the spies under the general's command have not inquired about the movements of reinforcements. It seems that our army has never had any reinforcements enter the country."

    "Asshole! Don't they know that Ganzhou Prefecture and Suzhou Prefecture are already under attack from both sides by the Zhao army? Do they still want to join forces with the countries in the Western Regions to fight back against the Zhao army? If Ganzhou Prefecture and Suzhou Prefecture are lost, the Western Regions will  The other countries will never be able to attack, and the Zhao army will be connected with the western prefectures of Liangzhou."

    Hall?, the generals of Ganzhou Prefecture were silent, and they could not say much about the anger of the governor.

    "Everyone, the situation is very critical now. You are all generals of the garrison under my rule. It is your duty to guard this place. Tell me, how to deal with the situation at hand?"

    None of the generals in the hall spoke, not because they were unwilling to speak, but because there was nothing they could do about the situation in front of them.

    "Feng Xu, you are the general of the Ganzhou Prefecture garrison and the leader of the Ganzhou Prefecture garrison. Tell me, how are you going to fight? Are you sure you can hold on to this city?" Seeing that no one spoke, Xu Mu's face became more and more gloomy.  , asked the generals around him on his left.

    Feng Xu's face turned bitter, but when the governor asked, he had no choice but to say: "Master governor, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. Now, with the two thousand soldiers in the hands of the general, I am afraid that I will not be able to resist the Zhao army's attack."

    "Our Ganzhou Prefecture has always had insufficient military strength. When the Zhao army was stationed in Xiazhou, the last general suggested that the governor allocate money and food for military equipment. But the governor refused. Now the two thousand soldiers in the city are wearing clothes.  There is insufficient armor, and morale is even worse. It is said that the defenders of the four eastern counties did not engage in battle with the Zhao army and surrendered directly. Now, the attacking Zhao army has more than 30,000 troops, which is already ten times our army.  Furthermore, the Zhao army has sharp armor and powerful soldiers, so the general cannot think of this and cannot hold on."

    Xu Mu suddenly remembered that Feng Xu had indeed suggested that he reorganize his military equipment to prevent the Zhao army from attacking Yanju Mansion.  But he didn't agree, and this Feng Xu was also a former general of the Liangzhou Army, a local officer during the Liangzhou Prefecture Army's rebellion.  Although he never participated in the rebellion, it was still a stain on him.  Therefore, it has not been reused.  However, Xu Mu knew that this man was really capable of running an army.

    Although what Feng Xu said was true, when Feng Xu said it at this moment, Xu Mu's face became a little confused.  After all, he was also a direct descendant of Situ Fei and was in charge of the government. He immediately said angrily: "So, the responsibility for all this lies with me? I am the governor and the chief civil affairs officer of the place.  This military matter was yours at that time. Now the situation is critical. Why do you not want to do your duty faithfully and instead shift the responsibility to me? "

    Feng Xu said in a deep voice: "The general just answered the governor's question truthfully, without any intention of evading it. Now the Zhao army is coming fiercely, and it is clear that it wants to capture Ganzhou Prefecture and Suzhou Prefecture, and the west side  The northwest prefectures have become one. Some time ago, the Zhao army in the three northwest prefectures defeated Shanshan, and the two regions were not independent. Now, the Zhao army in the northwest appears.  The force is weak, so the Zhao army's attack on the city must be extremely fierce. With our defenders here, it will be very difficult for us to defend here. Sir, the only ones who can save us now are the Zheng from the east.  soldiers, not local garrison."

    Hearing what Feng Xu said, Xu Mu's heart suddenly became cold. How could he not know the current situation?  But if reinforcements don't arrive, what can he do?

    "Feng Xu, send an order to the whole city, and ask all the young men in the city to come to the city to guard it. In addition, tell the powerful families in the city that if they don't want their families to be destroyed after the city is broken, let them protect the private soldiers of their families.  They should be very clear about Zhao Jun's behavior in the northwest. Zhao Jun will never tolerate them. Okay, go down and prepare to defend our army.  Reinforcements will arrive soon, and the Governor will not sit back and watch Ganzhou Prefecture and Suzhou Prefecture fall."

    "Report" At this moment, an emergency report came from outside the house.  A soldier hurried in from outside the house and ran straight to the center of the hall with a nervous expression.

    ¡°What happened, why are you panicking!¡± Xu Mu scolded in a cold voice.

    "Reporting to your lord, news has just come that the governor of Suzhou Prefecture has surrendered to the city. Now, Suzhou Prefecture has been captured by the Zhao army." The soldier said urgently.

    "What?" Xu Mu stood up immediately, his face turned pale, "What's going on? What's going on? How could the governor of Suzhou Prefecture surrender? He is a close confidant of the governor, it's impossible"

    Other officials in the hall also exclaimed, their expressions changed drastically, and they were extremely ugly.

    "Reporting to your lord, according to what the messenger said, when the Zhao army came, the garrison troops from several counties under Suzhou Prefecture turned against each other and surrendered the city. And the garrison troops in Suzhou City were also guarding the general.  Under his leadership, Mr. Li, the governor of Suzhou Prefecture, was captured in order to surrender to the enemy! "

    The soldiers' words made all the generals in the hall change their minds.  And Xu Mu couldn't help but look at Feng Xu, and suddenly felt a chill all over his body.  The governor of Suzhou Prefecture was captured by the garrison general, so here

    Feng Xu naturally felt Xu Mu's gaze. Although he was dissatisfied, he didn't say much.

    "Sir, now Suzhou Prefecture has been lost, and most of my Ganzhou Prefecture has been lost. Now, Ganzhou City has becomeNow that we have a single city, what should we do?  "Suddenly a civil servant asked in a trembling voice.

    Xu Mu doesn¡¯t have any ideas at this moment. At this moment, he is even worried that his place will be like Suzhou Prefecture, and his own life will not be guaranteed.

    "General Feng, you should immediately prepare what I said before and prepare to defend the city. I guess that the reason why the cities of Suzhou Prefecture and Ganzhou Prefecture were captured so quickly by the Zhao army must be related to the careful operations of the Zhao army in the city.  , you also send people to inspect the whole city. Xu Lin, from now on, you will personally lead a thousand soldiers to guard the four gates. No one is allowed to enter or leave without my own order. "Xu Lin is a relative of Xu Mu.  The manpower he placed among the soldiers.

    "General, take the order!" Seeing that Xu Mu divided up a thousand soldiers under his command, Feng Xu was dissatisfied, but he still took the order and left.

    "General, this Xu Mu is clearly guarding you, General Di!" After leaving the Governor's Mansion, the colonel beside Feng Xu whispered.

    Feng Xu felt a sense of sadness in his heart, and said: "Why do you say this? It is normal for the governor to give such an order. You and I only need to act in accordance with the military order."

    The principal said: "General, what happened in Suzhou Prefecture has made Xu Mu extremely dissatisfied with the general. In Ganzhou City, except the general, who has the ability to hold on to the city? Who is Xu Lin? His ability  The general still doesn¡¯t know? Isn¡¯t it because he is a relative and confidant of the governor that he can defend this city based on his ability?¡±

    "Besides, Zhao Jun's tens of thousands of troops are attacking. I'm afraid this Ganzhou City won't be able to hold on! We"

    "What exactly do you want to say?" Feng Xu stopped and asked coldly.

    Seeing Feng Xu like this, the colonel's face darkened and he said in a serious voice: "General, my subordinates won't hide it from you. The general is also very aware of the situation in Ganzhou City. Not to mention that there are only two thousand soldiers, even if there are  With 20,000 troops, how can we fight against the Zhao army? The counties to the east are occupied by the Zhao army, and the Suzhou Prefecture behind it has also become the territory of the Zhao army. Now, this Ganzhou city is an isolated city with no reinforcements.  General, your abilities are well known to your subordinates, but if you can't be reused, what's the point of staying here and fighting to the death?"

    "Were you bribed by Zhao Jun?" Feng Xu said sharply.

    "Yes, my subordinates have indeed contacted Zhao Jun. They are really useless here. General, it's not that my subordinates are willing to betray, but that we here can't play our due role at all. If Xu Mu can  I believe that the general was willing to support the general in preparing for war. How could he be in the current situation? General, most of the generals under his command were following you. If the general were not here, how many of them would be willing to stay here? "

    The colonel looked excited and continued: "General, you used to be a general under the command of the Liangzhou Prefecture Army Commander. It was because of the rebellion of the Liangzhou Prefecture Army Commander that we ended up like this. If it weren't for the fact that we were on official duty in Chang'an, we would have been like this.  I am afraid that I will die on the execution ground like other brothers who did not participate in the rebellion."

    "Although we escaped with our lives, we were left idle here by the Governor of Liangzhou. Not only were we not allowed to be reused, but we were also restricted in every way. No matter what the general thought, my subordinates were determined to surrender to Zhao. No matter what I said, they were also in the military academy.  Lieutenant, but now, I can¡¯t even feed my family, old and young, and my subordinates can¡¯t live like this anymore.¡±

    "General, my subordinates are the same as Captain Lin. We no longer want to serve the Liangzhou Army." At this time, the other captains accompanying Feng Xu also said in unison.

    "Youare you all on the line with Zhao Jun?" Feng Xu asked with a heavy face.

    "Yes, up and down, more than a dozen team leaders and small schools are now in contact with Zhao Jun. No matter what, as soon as Zhao Jun arrives, we will surrender the city. General, please join us."

    Under the persuasion of the primary school under his command, Feng Xu was in a state of confusion. After thinking about the current situation, his own situation and Xu Mu's defense against him, he finally made up his mind: "Okay, in that case,  I will join my brothers in joining Zhao."

    When Captain Lin saw Feng Xu's promise, he couldn't help but said happily: "With the general joining us, there is no problem. When the Zhao army arrives, we will capture the thief Xu Mu and surrender to the Zhao army."

    With Xu Mu, the governor of Ganzhou Prefecture, terrified, Zhao Jun finally reached the outside of Ganzhou City.  However, before the Zhao army could attack the city, Ganzhou City garrison general Feng Xu led a large group of troops and rushed directly into the governor's mansion.

    "Feng Xu, what do you want to do?" Seeing Feng Xu and others fighting with swords and guns, Xu Mu's face changed drastically, and he suddenly thought of something, but he still shouted sharply.

    Feng Xu sneered: "What do you want to do? Xu Mu, you should be very clear in your mind. Don't you know the situation in Suzhou Prefecture? Today, my general is preparing to imitate the Suzhou Prefecture garrison, capture you, and surrender to Zhao  military."

    "Bold, my official Xu Lin has more than a thousand garrison troops in his hands. Are you dying?"

    ?"Hey, this is your clan member and your new garrison commander." Feng Xu sneered and threw a head with his soldiers.

    When Xu Mu saw it, his whole body trembled and he no longer had any strength.  The head was none other than that of his clan relative Xu Lin.

    "I asked you to assemble the army to prepare for war to prevent the Zhao army from attacking. Not only did you not do it, but you mocked me. Today is the time for you to pay the price. The two thousand garrison troops in the city have been taken over by me, and the city gate has been closed.  The hole is open, Zhao Jun is about to enter the city," Feng Xu sneered.

    "Come on, push him out as a gift for us to surrender to Zhao!"

    Ganzhou City was captured by the Zhao army without bloodshed, and the remaining three counties also fell with the trend.  Since then, Zhao Jun's counties in the west of Liangzhou have been connected with Zhao's land, and the eastern area of ??Liangzhou has been besieged by Zhao Jun on three sides.

    It took Zhao Jun of Yanju Prefecture less than half a month to capture Ganzhou Prefecture and Suzhou Prefecture. Wherever they went, there were very few local soldiers fighting Zhao Jun.  It can be said that it is a matter of hope.

    "Li Shuai came just in time. Now that you are here, it will be much easier for us." In Dunhuang City, Wei Zilin laughed and welcomed Li Chenfeng into the government office.

    Li Chenfeng smiled and said: "Even if I came a few months late, Mr. Wei's place is still safe and sound. Mr. Wei, you have made great contributions this time. Not only did you gain a firm foothold in the three northwest prefectures, but you also won the  The rebellious Shanshan and other countries even defeated the Tulun tribe in the Western Region, which greatly strengthened the prestige of Zhao."

    "This is also thanks to the soldiers fighting hard. However, if the Zhao army does not come, we will be under a lot of pressure. In addition, this place is located in the northwest, the place is relatively poor, and there is no rear support. Everything is difficult. In addition, the various prefectures and counties in the west  , the proportion of Han people in our country is low, and we also need to relocate people from the rear. Now that the channel is open, these are no longer problems. "
