For a moment, the entire hall fell silent. Expand, fearing that your lair will be attacked. If they don't expand, it will be difficult for them to survive in the future. If this continues, they will be annexed sooner or later. Besides, now is also a good opportunity. If you don¡¯t take action, it will be difficult in the future. Not to mention that the Tang army is getting stronger and stronger, but after the Zhao army returns to the army, how long can the Luoyang king line continue to exist?
"Lord, among the existing princes in the world, there is another one who is in a worse situation than us!" Xu Ji suddenly remembered something and said repeatedly, "The King of Hanzhong to the west of us is also my lord's biological brother. The King of Hanzhong is surrounded by people on all sides. There is no way out for the enemy. In the past, the King of Hanzhong refused to recognize Situ Che's status on the grounds that the master should inherit the throne. So, why don't I join forces with him? "
"Join forces with him?" Suddenly, the entire inner hall was discussing.
"My lord, yes, we are joining forces with the King of Hanzhong. The King of Hanzhong has no way out. He not only faces pressure from the Zhao army, but also faces the pressure from the Shu army all the time. In the past, he used the name of the lord to separate his own country. Right now, the situation of the King of Hanzhong is worse than ours, why don¡¯t we work together?¡±
Wang Dao frowned and asked: "Although it is feasible, how will the benefits be distributed in the event of a big victory in the future? The territory ruled by the King of Hanzhong cannot be taken over by the Tang army. If the benefits cannot be distributed reasonably, how can we work together?"
Xu Ji said in a deep voice: "Now the west of Yongzhou, especially the land west of Hangu Pass, is in the hands of the King of Hanzhong. But the southwest of Hangu Pass and the dangerous Wuguan Pass in the south of Chang'an are in our hands. If the Chang'an army can pass the martial arts Pass, you can go straight to the west of Nanyang Prefecture in Jingzhou. In this way, doesn't the King of Hanzhong have a reason to go south? In addition, if the King of Hanzhong is also involved, it can also share the pressure brought by the King of Shu. It¡¯s not that easy for us to be swordsmen.¡±
"Huh? This might not be a bad idea!" Wang Dao, who had been opposed before, couldn't help but sigh. He could naturally see that if successful, the benefits would far outweigh the drawbacks.
"That's fine! Wang Dao, please immediately send someone to bring this handwritten letter to have a detailed discussion with the King of Hanzhong. The King of Hanzhong must be worried at this moment, so let me, the eldest brother, point out a clear path for him." Situ Hao ordered in a concentrated voice.
Liangzhou, Yiwu Mansion.
"It seems that my departure has left these princes with no time to rest!" Zhao Xun couldn't help laughing after learning about the situation of the princes in the Central Plains. For this situation, it is naturally what he wants to see.
Situ Liang smiled and said: "My lord has left Youzhou and the army is concentrated to the west. These princes will naturally seize this rare opportunity. If we don't take action, there will be no chance in the future. Unfortunately, they don't know that this is exactly what we want." need."
Zhang Yuanjing, who accompanied the Turkic tribes in the north, shook his head and said: "It's not that they don't understand the key, it's that they have no choice. After the Lord incorporated the Yanzhou Army into the Zhao Army, the general trend of the world has basically become clear. The princes in the south can only compete with me, Zhao, if they unite and work together. But can these princes unite and work together?"
"If there are only two or three princes in the south, that's fine. Maybe they can fight with our army when our army goes south. However, there are too many princes in the south, and they are too many to be able to fight quickly. A good union? No one has the ability to unite them perfectly."
"So, knowing that my lord's expedition to the west may make them fight among themselves and consume each other, but they have to follow. If we completely digest Yanzhou and Yuzhou occupied by the Yanzhou Army, and pacify all Liangzhou in the west, We no longer have any worries, even if the Western Expedition fails, we can immediately send our troops south to defeat these princes one by one. "
Zhao Xun nodded and said: "Yes, they are acting like this not only for expansion, but also to reduce the number of southern princes. However, no matter what they do, we only need to wait until they are exhausted."
"By the way, Yuan Jing, is there no problem in the northern grassland?"
"Back to my lord, we have settled down. The three khans on the left, middle and right each govern one, but it is only in name. In addition, our caravans have begun to be active in the north, and our merchants have also begun to increase in number. Now, the Turkic tribes on the grassland are accustomed to selling livestock, furs and other items to merchants, and then obtaining various Han items from the merchants. life. But their tribe¡¯s trade and supplies are under our control.¡±
"If they don't obey, their supplies will be cut off when the time comes. I think, at that time, they will find that they don't even have their daily necessities, let alone go to war with me, Great Zhao. In addition, because of the large number of merchants, Appeared, the TurksThe tribesmen are also used to the current stable life, and most of these tribal leaders are also used to the luxurious life. It may not be easy for them to return to the old days and start a war with me, Great Zhao. "
"My lord, this non-war method of using trade to blackmail the opponent is really clever. This method is gentle but not violent, and can solve problems subtly. It is so good!" As he spoke, Zhang Yuanjing couldn't help but sigh.
"By the way, where is the Turkic Xue Nie Khan? Has he been killed? He has great ambitions and cannot be kept!" Situ Liang suddenly asked.
Zhang Yuanjing smiled and said: "As for this Xue Nie Khan, not only do we know his abilities, but the Turkic tribes also know his abilities. Now that the Turkic tribes have surrendered to us, how can they still keep hungry wolves here? Around us? In addition, we did not want this Xue Nie Khan to exist. Therefore, at the beginning of the year, Xue Nie Khan was hunted down by three soldiers and failed to escape. However, because he was also considered a king. Lord, and Xue Nie Khan still has a certain influence among the Turkic tribes, so after discussing with the Khans of various tribes, he was buried beside the former royal court."
"I have already sent this news back to Youzhou. It is estimated that Youzhou has just received the news and is conveying it here." Zhang Yuanjing went directly from north to south and joined the Western Expedition Army in Bingzhou and accompanied the army. Therefore, Zhao Xun and others were not very clear about the current situation of the Turkic tribes.
"My lord, the envoy sent to Kucha Kingdom has sent back the news! Kucha Kingdom has agreed to send troops, and even agreed to become a vassal of our country, Zhao. At this moment, they have sent 20,000 Kucha troops to the east, ready to fight with me. Army together, attack from east to west." While several people were discussing various affairs of the Turkic tribes, Wei Zilin rushed in with a smile on his face.
"Oh? This is great. If this is successful, half of our efforts will be reduced. Send an order to Li Chenfeng and let them start taking action." After hearing the news, Zhao Xun immediately gave the order in a deep voice.
In mid-March, the snow in the Western Regions has not yet melted. Especially in some higher-lying areas, you can still see white snow. Of course, more snow melts into water, trickling down to form small streams, adding vitality to the earth.
After Li Chenfeng received the military order, he immediately handed over the responsibility of the vanguard to Xu Ye, who was most familiar with the countries in the Western Regions. Xu Ye was unambiguous and immediately took the sergeant and went straight to Lancheng.
Xu Ye did not bring many troops this time, only 5,000 Zhao soldiers. However, these soldiers are all town soldiers and guards, far from being comparable to the local garrison in the past. For Xu Ye, the five thousand soldiers he now has are enough to compare with the Liangzhou Army's twenty thousand.
Xu Ye thinks this attack is not too difficult. In addition to our comprehensive preparations and strong soldiers, more importantly, during the ten days since Zhao Jun gathered in Yiwu Mansion, Zhao Jun did not send troops. The defenders of Lancheng even thought that Zhao Jun was just showing off
In spring, the wind in the Western Regions is very strong and strong. Even because of the snow in the distance, the strong wind seemed particularly cold. However, this was not a problem for the Zhao army soldiers who had already prepared. In order to catch them by surprise, five thousand soldiers were able to make a large circle from the south before rushing towards Lancheng. Zhao Jun's scouts also spread out more than ten miles away to check for any possible situation. Fortunately, because the two sides were hostile, no merchants were seen passing through wherever they went, which made it much easier for the army to hide their traces.
"General, in front of you is Lan City. Not far to the left is the place where the Yanqi people graze in Lan City. There are places for several miles around that are very suitable for grazing. According to our investigation, outside the city, Lan City The city has been grazing a lot recently. My subordinates guessed that there should be a gathering point for the Yanqi people in front of us. "Now Xu Ye has become an official general because of his performance in the west of Liangzhou.
"Slow down and move forward slowly. Since they are grazing outside, we will take advantage of the situation and break their courage!"
A moment later, Xu Ye, escorted by his personal guards, appeared behind a hill. He reined in his horse, put his hand on his brow, and looked into the distance. At this moment, it was almost dusk, and wisps of smoke rose from the plains in the distance. It was obvious that the locals were cooking.
"They are ready to eat! What a great opportunity!" A captain on the side couldn't help but say.
Xu Ye closed his eyes slightly and said with a smile: "Good opportunity, indeed a good opportunity. These Yanqi people are really enthusiastic. They knew we were coming. They even prepared a meal to welcome us. After passing this plain, we passed the waves behind the plain. The river is Lan City Sir, since they have prepared meals for us, how about we not be rude and enjoy the life of the people in the Western Regions? "
The captain next to Xu Ye chuckled and said: "What the general said has penetrated into my heart. If you mark this stomach, it has already been growling."
"Okay! Send the order, the army will come out in three directions, we mustCatch them all, no one can escape! "The smile on Xu Ye's face, who was chatting and laughing earlier, disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a ferocious expression.
"Huhu" The ordering soldier beside Xu Ye immediately waved the small flag in his hand and sent an order to his own soldiers behind the leeward hill behind him.
¡°Dongdongdongdong"
The officers and soldiers of the Zhao army had been stationed in Yiwu Mansion for many days, and they were already exhausted. Now when the flag was raised, the soldiers of Zhao immediately urged their horses and rushed towards the Yanqi camp behind the hill like the wind.
"Let's go, let's kill them too!" I saw the soldiers under my command divided into three groups, attacking the center of the opponent all the way, and the two groups on the left and right separated to surround them.
Xu Ye, who rushed down from the hill, looked from a distance and saw that the camp looked quite large and the terrain was flat, just suitable for the Zhao army's cavalry charge. This time there were five thousand generals, two thousand cavalry, and three thousand infantry. But whether they are cavalry or infantry, they are all elite men.
As soon as the Zhao army started taking action, the Yanqi people in the Mapingchuan field saw smoke rising in the distance and heard the sound of horse hooves. They immediately understood that the enemy was coming.
"Zhao Jun is here?" The Yanqi officer stationed here was shocked when he heard the news. If it weren't for the rumble of horse hooves and the slight vibration of the ground, he would not have believed that Zhao Jun would get past his spies and suddenly appear here.
This plain is a good place for grazing, so the defenders of Lancheng sent three thousand soldiers to garrison here. Be on guard against Zhao Jun, guard against Gaochang State, and guard against horse thieves.
"Fight! Tens of thousands of Zhao troops have gathered in Yiwu Mansion for many days without daring to take a step to the west. Now they dare to send a small army here. It is simply a way to die. Send out the entire army and annihilate them all!" Officer Yanqi shouted sharply.
In an instant, groups of cavalry rushed out of the camp and charged towards the Zhao army. Compared with Zhao Jun, these cavalry are naturally much inferior. They do not have neat standard armor and have various weapons. Without neat formation and effective organization, they started shouting from a distance, waved their weapons and rushed towards Zhao Jun.
When the Zhao army was stationed in Yiwu Mansion, waiting for news from the Kingdom of Kucha, the defender of Lancheng severely belittled the Zhao army in order to boost the morale of the soldiers. As a result, in the view of the soldiers in Lancheng, the Zhao army is not equipped with enough officers and soldiers. In the past, the Liangzhou army was also defeated thousands of miles away? If it weren't for their large numbers, the Western Regions would never have surrendered to the Han Dynasty in the past.
"General, seeing these knights and cavalry reminds me of horse thieves!" A captain pointed at the Yanqi cavalry rushing over and sneered.
"Colonel Luo, don't be careless. The terrain and national conditions of the countries in the Western Regions limit their fighting methods. But this does not mean that they are in trouble. You are a captain who leads hundreds of troops. Any negligence will It is possible that our subordinate Pao Ze will be injured, so we can express our disdain as a whole, but we must use our best to lead the battle," Xu Ye said in a deep voice.
Captain Luo was shocked and said respectfully, "Thank you, General, for your teaching."
"Soldiers, fight with me! Let these barbarians see the power of Zhao, and kill their courage!" Xu Ye smiled calmly, and shouted sharply with a spear in his hand.
"Hahakill their courage!" The soldiers around Xu Ye roared in unison.
"Cavalry, mount and shoot!"
"Get ready to throw your spear!"
A military order suddenly sounded from the military formation, and the soldiers of Zhao, who were running wildly, immediately took action. The archers drew their bows, nocked arrows, and hurled their spears. They also drew the hurling spears on their horses' sides and prepared for shooting.
"shoot¡¡"
"Whoosh whoosh" Suddenly, a burst of dark clouds rose into the sky, and with the sound that made people's ears buzz, arrows rained down on the heads of the Yanqi soldiers.
In an instant, with the screams and the neighing of the horses, countless Yanqi cavalry fell to the ground, causing a commotion among the entire Yanqi cavalry.
"Throw the gun, shoot!"
¡°Buzz buzz¡¡±
Compared with the rain of arrows, the momentum of this spear throw was greater, and the effect it brought frightened all the Yanqi cavalry who were galloping forward. Regardless of whether they are war horses or soldiers, anyone hit by a projectile gun will basically be killed in one blow.
"You Western Barbarians, let's have a taste of the power of our great Zhao! Die!" The war horse under his crotch was running at top speed, and suddenly accelerated again. Before the Yanqi cavalry on the opposite side could react, Xu Ye was already in front of him. The spear in his hand, with a whistling sound, lit up countless cold lights
"Go to hell! You are the first!" The word "a" was still echoing in Xu Ye's mouth, and the spear in his hand had already killed the third enemy cavalry.
"Happy! Haha Little Ximan, how dare you look down on me, the Great Zhao?" Xu Ye laughed crazily and kept stabbing with the spear in his hand.out. I think back then, he was also in the Liangzhou Army, and he also knew the hardships of the people in the counties and counties in the west of Liangzhou, and the misdeeds of these Western Region countries in the west of Liangzhou. Xu Ye could do nothing at that time, but now
??The rain of arrows continued, the spears were fired, the horizontal knives brought blood drops everywhere, the wails and screams kept ringing
In just a few moments, the three to four hundred Yanqi cavalry who were the first to attack were able to wipe out the entire army. The Yanqi cavalry who had just assembled in the rear were stunned and panicked.
"Kill! Anyone holding a weapon, regardless of gender, age or child, will be killed without mercy!" Xu Ye laughed loudly, pointed his spear directly at the opponent, and shouted loudly.
"You traitors of the Zhao army, don't be arrogant. Attack with the whole army and kill them!" The Yanqi army officer in the camp responded sternly with his face ashen.
With the long sound of the horn, Zhao Jun¡¯s cavalry and Yanqi Jingqi accelerated at the same time and began to charge towards each other.
"We are Zhao, not the Liangzhou Army. We don't know whether to live or die! Brothers, kill!" Xu Ye's thunderous roar echoed in the sky
The horses neighed and the spears splattered with blood! Xu Ye felt that his depressed mood was relieved here and he could finally avenge the suffering people of Liangzhou. Xu Ye raised his head to the sky and hissed excitedly, running rampant in the crowd, as if he was in a deserted place.
"kill¡¡"
Loud shouts came from the left and right, and in an instant, more than a thousand Zhao troops from each side rushed into the camp and began to attack the Yanqi cavalry and the Yanqi tribesmen in the camp from both sides.
The cavalry charged directly, while the infantry stayed at a corresponding distance. Without waiting for the enemy to approach, they pulled up their long bows and set up their crossbows. Arrows and crossbows rained down like raindrops with the force of tearing the air. Ruixiao flew out.
The soldiers of Yanqi, who were originally at a disadvantage, were suddenly attacked from both sides, who could withstand it. The shrill wails, screams, and screams of war horses echoed in the sky.
After several rounds of arrows, a loud shout was heard: "Infantry, raise your sword!"
They all put away their longbows and crossbows, and with a clang, the gleaming swords were pointed directly at the enemy in the camp - Didn't finish reading?
