    At the end of June, while Zhao Jun began to build a new city, reorganize the place, and organize local government soldiers and county soldiers, he also began to encourage immigrants.  As for Zhao Jun's troops, except for the 20,000 people who stayed behind and were responsible for local defense, the rest began to withdraw to Yiwu Mansion in Liangzhou in an orderly manner.

    Seeing this scene, Gao Ya, the king of Gaochang, could not help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.  Zhao Jun's withdrawal, in his opinion, meant that Zhao Jun's war in the Western Regions was over.  I am not worried that the Zhao army in the south of my side will suddenly send troops northward.

    However, just when Gao Ya had just breathed a sigh of relief, the Qiuci Kingdom bypassed the former Yanqi Kingdom from the north, and Zhao Jun now renamed the new Yanqi Kingdom as Xizhou Prefecture, and suddenly attacked the southwest side of Gaochang Kingdom.

    Because King Gao Ya of Gaochang was preparing to send his army south a few months ago, but was forced to give up because his backing Turks could not support him. He even bowed his head to the Zhao army and apologized.  Therefore, most of Gaochang's troops were concentrated in the east and south to guard against the Zhao army in the east and south.  In the western region, there are fewer troops.

    But the King of Gaochang never expected that the one attacking him was not the Zhao army he was guarding day and night, but the Qiuci Kingdom that he did not directly want to attack.  The army of Kucha Kingdom suddenly appeared, and the western cities of Gaochang Kingdom were at a loss as to where to go. Several cities were captured by the Kucha army one after another.

    It was not until a large area of ??the western part of the Gaochang Kingdom was occupied by the Qiuci Kingdom and it was approaching more and more eastward that King Gao Ya of Gaochang got accurate information.  The Kucha Kingdom actually dispatched 30,000 troops, which arrived suddenly. Most of the troops in the western cities of the Gaochang Kingdom were transferred to the south. Therefore, they were unable to stop the advance of the Kucha Army.

    When Gao Ya first heard the news, he couldn't believe it, but the continuous messages asking for help convinced him that the Kucha Kingdom had sent troops to attack him.

    Gao Ya was so shocked that he couldn't care about anything else at the moment, and immediately began to mobilize the Gaochang troops stationed in the east and south to move westward to stop the Kucha Army.  At the same time, Gao Ya also sent people to Yiwu Mansion to ask for help from King Zhao.

    "Look, this is an elegant letter asking for help, crying to us, asking us to severely reprimand the Kucha Army." Zhao Xun let the King of Gaochang's request for help be thrown aside and sneered.

    Zhang Yuanjing said slowly: "The King of Gaochang is also worried that our Zhao army is involved in this operation. Therefore, although the military strength of his Gaochang Kingdom is not weaker than that of Qiuci Kingdom, he cannot help but care about our thoughts. And we  In his eyes, he is about to establish his position as the co-lord of the Western Regions. For this kind of thing, it is the time to establish his prestige. Therefore, he wants us to solve this matter, not only to test whether we participate in this.  It will also allow us to resolve the Kucha Army¡¯s invasion.¡±

    "The king of Gaochang Kingdom is really thoughtful. He wants to use our help to solve his border troubles. If he hadn't stationed all his troops in the south to guard against us, how could this happen now?" Xu Ye couldn't help but said coldly.  road.

    Situ Liang said with a smile: "Not to mention, if we were not involved in this matter, if it were not for this land in the Western Region, but just to restore the status of the old Protectorate, we would really have to take care of this matter.  ¡±

    "In this case, should we take advantage of this incident to directly send troops into Gaochang Kingdom, or should we see both Qiuci Kingdom and Gaochang Kingdom lose?" Hearing what Situ Liang and others said, Xu Ye knew that Situ Liang and others had already  Having already made a decision, Piian asked anxiously.

    Situ Liang smiled and said: "General Xu is eager to fight! However, it is naturally impossible to send troops directly. At this moment, most of Gaochang's army is still in the south and east of Gaochang. If we send troops to enter, these troops will  They will be on guard at all times. In addition, although the Kucha troops are now entering, the mobilization of the garrison in the east and south of Gaochang Kingdom is definitely not that fast. "

    "Looking at the left, it is undesirable for both Gaochang and Kucha to suffer losses. Now that we want to swallow Kucha completely, we cannot let Kucha have too much hatred towards us. Now Kucha*  The Japanese army's invasion of Gaochang Kingdom has already caused them losses. Therefore, while the Gaochang Japanese army is heading west, we will dispatch the army from the northeastern end of Gaochang Kingdom and attack Gaochang Kingdom in one fell swoop. In this way, we will not only catch the opponent by surprise.  , and let Gaochang¡¯s army move back and forth, not knowing which way to go.¡±

    Zhao Xun nodded and said to Xu Ye: "This time, after Gaochang Kingdom mobilizes its eastern army, we will directly attack Yancheng. This is an important place at the northeastern end of Gaochang Kingdom. If we break this place, we can also defeat Gaochang Kingdom.  Cut off from the Turks in the east. General Xu, after all, no one in our army is more familiar with the surrounding situation than you.  It's a hundred miles northwest of my mansion. And you used to be stationed in Yiwu Mansion, so you are the most suitable here."

    Xu Ye said sternly: "Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will complete this mission perfectly."Move.  "

    Zhao Xun smiled and said: "Very good, Situ Liang will inform you of the details. You should go down and be prepared for all actions."

    Sure enough, as Situ Liang said, the Kucha army invaded, but King Gao Ya of Gaochang did not immediately mobilize the eastern and southern garrisons westward.  After receiving Zhao Jun's reply that Gao Ya would not interfere in the internal affairs of the Western Region, he cursed secretly and became more wary of Zhao Jun.

    "They didn't interfere? Nonsense! If he hadn't interfered, he wouldn't have joined forces with the Kucha Kingdom to destroy the Yanqi Kingdom and more than a dozen surrounding small countries. If he hadn't interfered, he wouldn't have changed the Yanqi Kingdom from top to bottom.  , Let the so-called king of Yanqi country become a decoration."

    "Your Majesty, what do you mean, is it because of Zhao Jun that Qiuci State attacked us this time?" Seeing Gao Ya shouting angrily, Gao Lin, Gao Ya's confidant and responsible for the government affairs of Gaochang State, frowned.

    "What do you think? If Zhao Jun didn't speak, do you think that the Kucha Kingdom suddenly took action against us? Don't forget, our Gaochang Kingdom is a vassal of King Zhao. Don't forget, the Kucha Kingdom and us do not want to directly connect with each other.  , to the southwest of us, there is also the Yanqi Kingdom. Even if the Qiuci Kingdom occupies a quarter of the Yanqi Kingdom's territory, it will not gain any benefit if he attacks us. He cannot compete with the Qiuci Kingdom in terms of territory.  Our country is connected.¡±

    "Besides, do you think Zhao Jun hopes that the Kingdom of Kucha will become stronger? Isn't King Zhao afraid that he will not be able to control the Kingdom of Kucha? Therefore, this damn invasion of Kucha must be caused by the vicious King Zhao  It means that he is retaliating against the fact that we prepared to send troops to stop him from attacking Yanqi State last time."

    "Assholes! The Turks are such useless people. They usually robbed us and took away countless belongings. But at the critical moment, they were unable to help. Damn it! Damn it!" Gao Ya roared like a madman.

    Gao Lin frowned and said: "Having said that, Your Majesty, if we don't transfer the eastern and southern armies to the west, then our western part will be completely insecure. Moreover, generals from all over the west have sent requests for help and inquiries. They  I can¡¯t resist it anymore. What should I do?¡±

    Gao Ya said angrily: "A bunch of trash, even the Kucha Army can't resist it! Didn't they all vow to teach the Zhao Army from the east a lesson? Now the Kucha Army alone can't stop it  " But he did not think about the comparison of the strength of the two sides. You must know that the Kucha Kingdom dispatched 30,000 troops, and among the cities in the western part of the Kucha Kingdom, there were only more than a thousand people on average. How could they be the opponent of the Kucha Kingdom's army?  .  What's more, the Kucha army came in surprise.

    "Support! How to support? At this moment, the Zhao army is probably waiting for our army to move westward. If there are no troops stationed in the south and east, how can we resist the Zhao army's attack? The threat of this Zhao army is much higher than that of the Kucha army.  . Send the order, let them hold on, hold on!"

    Gao Lin smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, according to the intelligence, the cities in the west cannot hold on at all. Although Zhao Jun is a greater threat, after all, he has not threatened us yet, and the Kucha Army is already occupying  We will kill our people. If we let the Qiuci Kingdom occupy the entire west, they will be surrounded by the Zhao army on three sides, and the situation will be even more unfavorable to us."

    "Damn it! Damn it!" Gao Ya was hammering the case and yelling angrily.  What Gao Lin said is also extremely reasonable.  Rescue is dangerous, but not rescue is equally dangerous.  Gao Ya is now helpless and furious.

    "By the way, I asked you to go to the Turks for help. How did they respond?" Suddenly, Gao Ya remembered that a few days ago, he sent people to the north to ask for help.

    Gao Lin's face froze slightly and said: "Your Majesty, the situation of the Turks is also very bad. According to the current intelligence, the Turkic tribes in the west have fallen into a disadvantage. And"

    "And what?" Seeing Gao Lin's hesitation, Gao Ya said with an unhappy look on her face, "What time of the year is this? If you have anything to say, just say it."

    Gao Lin said with a worried look: "Master, as far as we know, the northern Turkic tribes were attacked by the eastern Turkic tribes, and the eastern Turkic tribes received military orders from King Zhao. In other words, the issue of internal fighting among the Turks is  King Zhao deliberately caused it.¡±

    "Hiss" After hearing what Gao Lin said, Gao Ya suddenly opened his eyes angrily, "You mean, King Zhao can already command the Turks? This is impossible! How powerful are the Turkic tribes in our north?  Duoguang, you know it. The eastern Turkic tribe is more powerful than the western one. How could this eastern Turkic tribe" Gao Ya had a look of disbelief on his face. If that was the case, he was still kidding.  How could Gaochang State compete with the Zhao army with its tens of thousands of troops?

    "Your Majesty, this news has been confirmed. After Zhao Jun entered the western part of Liangzhou, we began to send people to inquire about Zhao Jun's news. After Zhao Jun attacked Yanqi Kingdom, we sent people into Liangzhou many times.  After inquiring, the eastern Turkic tribes had already??Zhao Jun was defeated and became a vassal of Zhao Jun.  "

    "This" Gao Ya's face suddenly turned pale. Hearing that Zhao Jun could order the Turks, he suddenly didn't know what to do.  He knew how powerful the Turks were.  How powerful must one be to defeat the Turks?  Can I fight against such a powerful force?

    Seeing Gao Ya's behavior, Gao Lin directly told his king that he was frightened by Zhao Jun's strength, so he said repeatedly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Although Zhao Jun is strong, the Han territory is not unified. Most of Zhao Jun's troops  They are all placed within the Han territory. In addition, in order to deter the Turks, I think the Zhao army will also station a large number of troops in the north. In addition, this place in the Western Region is far away from the Han Central Plains, and the Zhao army has to go on an expedition, which is extremely logistical.  Heavy, so the Zhao army cannot mobilize many troops to the Western Region."

    "Huh that's okay! The Turks can't be counted on now." Gao Ya breathed out, and immediately her eyes lit up, "By the way, Zhao Jun ordered the eastern Turkic tribes to attack the western Turkic tribes, and sent people to ask for help.  Didn¡¯t you inform the Turkic tribes about this information?¡±

    Gao Ya hopes that this news will stimulate the Turkic tribes and give him support, and even lead his army south to fight Zhao Jun. At that time, he will be able to take advantage of it, and even use the power of the Turks to dominate the northern part of the western region.

    Gao Lin didn't know what Gao Ya was thinking. He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, I have already told the Turks about this information. Although they know it, they are too busy to take care of themselves and have no time to look south."

    "Alas what a pity!" Gao Ya sighed, and after a while, said: "Forget it, the current situation has no time for us to consider, mobilize the eastern army to move westward. As for the southern army, stay where it is for the time being, just in case.  With these 10,000 troops, they should be able to block the continued advance of the Kucha Army. The Kucha Kingdom is also taking a detour, and its logistics is also a problem. If the stalemate lasts for a long time, problems will arise sooner or later when the troops are stationed in the south.  Stay where you are and defend Zhao Jun. In my opinion, Zhao Jun is our biggest enemy."

    Gao Ya mobilized 10,000 soldiers stationed in the east to march westward, but the armies in the south and southwest were not dispatched at the same time, but carefully guarded Zhao Jun.

    Yiwu Mansion.

    "It seems that Gao Changguo still doesn't trust us!"

    "It doesn't matter, our goal is in the northeast, the south and southeast are not the most important. Send an order to the Kucha Army and ask them to work harder to attract more Gaochang Kingdom troops to the west. In addition,  Send an order to Xu Ye and ask him to take action immediately."

    "General Li Chenfeng, while Xu Ye is taking action, you will personally lead the army from east to west from the west of Yiwu Mansion, in order to enter the capital of Gaochang in the shortest possible time. As for local affairs, Liang Hui  Send civil servants and troops to follow," Situ Liang arranged unhurriedly.

    After receiving the military order from Zhao Jun, the Kucha Army Corps immediately sent people to invite the military advisors sent by Zhao Jun to discuss countermeasures.  When it comes to head-on combat, these Kucha troops are not afraid of Gao Changguo.  But when it comes to a combat goal, it is difficult for them to understand.

    Therefore, among the Kucha Army, the military advisor sent by Zhao Jun was responsible for the general command, while the Kucha Army was responsible for actual combat.

    As soon as the reinforcements arrived in the western part of Gaochang Kingdom, according to the order of King Gaochang, they immediately garrisoned the camp and confronted the Kucha army face to face without going into battle.  No matter how the Kucha army invited them to fight, they ignored them.

    Seeing this scene, the Kucha army¡¯s military advisor immediately discussed and divided the assembled Kucha army into several branches.  Directly bypass the opponent's camp and attack its rear.  The Qiuci Kingdom did not focus on occupying the city, but directly plundered the people and food behind it.

    " This happened again and again, and Gaochangguo's reinforcements could no longer calm down.  The Kucha Army not only plundered the people, but also their logistics and food supplies, which were also intercepted by the Kucha Army many times.

    So, the commander of Gaochangguo's reinforcements decided to use his entire force to kill one of the opponent's troops.

    However, at this moment, every member of the Kucha army was moving erratically and killing decisively.  It will never show up when encountering strong enemies, but it is particularly vicious against small tribes, small cities and towns with empty defenses.  Wherever they passed, there were no chickens or dogs left, and corpses were everywhere. The reinforcements from Gaochang Kingdom were very angry, and at the same time they were helpless.

    Seeing this, the commander of Gaochangguo's reinforcements could only give up his elegant military orders and pursue the opponent, desperately looking for one of them and preparing to gradually eliminate them.  Otherwise, if this continues, the army's logistics and food supplies will be cut off, and they will become a lone soldier.

    "That's it, the Kucha Army and the Gaochang Army are chasing each other, running away, coming and going.  The Qiuci army had no scruples and kept fighting with war, killing corpses all over the territory of Gaochang Kingdom, but Gaochang Kingdom's reinforcements were helpless.  Their food and grass need to be supported by the local people, and they cannot let him be as careless as the Kucha army.

    However, the chase lasted for seven or eight days, and reinforcements from Gaochang State came to the rescue.While they were busy repairing, several troops from the Kucha Kingdom appeared from all directions at night and raided the reinforcement camp of the Gaochang Kingdom.

    The reinforcements from the Gaochang Kingdom had been chasing for seven or eight days, and they were already exhausted. After many days of chasing, they had forgotten that the military strength of the Kucha Kingdom was greater than theirs.

    Therefore, Gaochangguo's reinforcements were unprepared that night.  The Qiuci State army rushed into the Gaochang State camp, killed everyone on sight, and set fire everywhere.  Caught off guard, the entire camp became chaotic.  The nearly 30,000 troops of the Qiuci Kingdom cut down the reinforcements of the Gaochang Kingdom like melons and vegetables.

    The soldiers of Qiuci Kingdom did not expect that the war could be like this.  Therefore, the Kucha soldiers were particularly enthusiastic about killing that night.  And the Gaochangguo camp turned into a sea of ??fire

    Hearing the news, King Gao Ya of Gaochang almost vomited blood out of breath.  The 10,000-strong army was unexpectedly surprised by the enemy, causing the entire army to be completely wiped out.  Now, the army of Kucha Kingdom is getting closer and closer to the capital of Gaochang Kingdom.

    "Stupid pigs! Absolutely stupid pigs! I have repeatedly ordered them to defend, defend! But they arrived and insisted on fighting against the Kucha Army. Now, they have ten thousand reinforcements, but they can't do it!  "If the reinforcements sent by the commander hadn't been killed in battle, I'm afraid that Gao Ya at this moment would have eaten the opponent alive.

    "Your Majesty, what should we do now? Is it time to move the garrison in the south to the west? Otherwise"

    "Transfer, mobilize immediately! No matter what, I will never tolerate the Qiuci army's misbehavior under my leadership." Gao Ya could no longer persist.  Finally, the troops stationed on the border with Yiwu Prefecture and Yanqi State began to be transferred to the west to face the Kucha army.
