    Hearing that Zhao Xun asked him to pay attention to the Wusun Kingdom to the west of Gaochang Kingdom, Situ Liang immediately responded: "I understand, your Majesty is worried that the Wusun Kingdom will send troops?"

    Zhao Xun nodded slightly, "We have to be on guard. We found out from our businessmen in the Wusun Kingdom that the Wusun Kingdom seems to have some opinions on our sending troops to the Gaochang Kingdom."

    "We have no grudge against the Wusun Kingdom, and they are not our current target. Logically speaking, they should not have any ideas against us when we have won such a great victory." Situ Liang said doubtfully.  .

    Zhao Xunning said: "The Gaochang Kingdom is to the west of the Wusun Kingdom. Now that the Gaochang Kingdom has been destroyed, we will confront the Wusun Kingdom. Of course the Wusun Kingdom does not want a tiger to exist by its side. And we  , It's too far from the rear, and it's not completely stable here. It's not good for us to fight against the Wusun Kingdom. If Gaochang Kingdom and Qiuci Kingdom get into trouble again, it will be dangerous.  When facing Wusun, we must first settle the eastern part of the Western Region."

    The king of Gaochang fell. Under the new king's order, cities all over the Gaochang Kingdom began to accept the new king's order.  Of course, during this period, some bloody things were inevitable.  Zhao Jun launched the operation step by step, and residents from all over the place were gathered at predetermined locations and began to build the city.  At the same time, they continued to plant trees around the new city that was about to be built.

    Many people don¡¯t understand things like tree planting, but for Zhao Xun, he knows very well the importance of trees to the Western Regions.  Therefore, the matter of planting trees in various places was enforced by Zhao Jun and became a task that must be completed in all parts of the Western Regions, and it was also an assessment indicator for local officials.

    In all places, Gaochangguo officials were asked to come forward, but behind the scenes, Zhao Jun was fully responsible.  It was also because of this that the residents of Gaochang State were able to accept Zhao Jun's orders.  As the tribes in the southern part of Gaochang State were restored, Zhao Xun and others gradually felt relieved.  The southern part of Gaochang State is connected with Yanqi State, and the two are connected, which is extremely beneficial for Zhao Jun to control this place.

    "The southern part of Gaochang Kingdom has been leveled, and the northern part is also under our control. Now, only the west is left." Zhang Yuanjing marked the captured locations one by one on the newly compiled map.

    Zhao Xun looked at the huge red area that was connected with Liangzhou, and said solemnly: "In this way, we can also let

    But before Zhao Xun and others were ready to let the Kucha Army withdraw from the western region of Gaochang Kingdom, Zhao Xun and others received bad news.  The Kucha Army was raided, and the people who attacked the Kucha Army were either the Wusun people from the west.

    "Lord, the news has been confirmed. The Kucha Army is stationed in Xisha City, a large town in the west of Gaochang Kingdom. Now, Xisha City has been captured by the Wusun Army. The unprepared Kucha Army gathered in Xisha City.  The * team suffered heavy casualties, with nearly 20,000 casualties, and less than half of them were captured Now, the Wusun army is defending this place, and it seems that there are reinforcements behind it. " Situ Liang said the information with a solemn face.  At first, he didn't pay attention, but Zhao Xun had already reminded him.  But before he could prepare, things had already happened.

    Zhao Xun¡¯s expression remained unchanged, and he said slowly: ¡°How many people are there in the Wusun Army? Have you checked clearly? Where are the remaining Kucha Army now?¡±

    Situ Liang said: "According to the reports from the people we arranged in the Kucha camp, the Wusun army that raided this time was more than 15,000. Now, the defeated Kucha army has withdrawn to Lang in the west.  General Li Chenfeng also sent 5,000 cavalry to help. I think we have stabilized these defeated troops. "

    Zhao Xun leaned over and looked at the map. Langcheng was located seventy or eighty miles east of Xisha City. It was also a large town.  Most of the area east of Langcheng is now controlled by Zhao Jun.

    "Damn it, we just attacked Wukou City with a small force against many, and defeated Gaochang's counterattack army. We didn't want to fight, but in the blink of an eye, the Wusun people gave us a blow in the same way." Zhao Xun said bitterly.  , "Langcheng is not comparable to Xisha City. Xisha City is a real city. Although it is not comparable to our big city in Zhao, there is absolutely no problem in defending the city."

    "Ranlang City is just a town without tall walls. In this way, the entire royal capital to Xisha City, hundreds of miles away, may be attacked by the Wusun army. This is very important for us who are now eager to stabilize the situation in Gaochang Kingdom.  Said, extremely disadvantageous.¡±

    Zhang Yuanjing looked at the map and said: "Now, just in case, we have to garrison troops in these five towns from north to south after Langcheng. Now we happen to have a lot of surrendered soldiers from Gaochang Kingdom in our hands.  "How to arrange them was still a problem. Now, when foreign enemies invade, why not place them on the front line?"

    Zhao Xun drew a diagonal line from north to south along the back of Langcheng and said in a deep voice: "Arrange immediately. Since the Wusun people have moved, they will definitely not be able to simply defeat the Qiuci army in the west of Gaochang Kingdom.  Team.""Although according to our intelligence, the Gaochang Kingdom also asked the Wusun people for help when our army marched westward to the Gaochang Kingdom, the Wusun people will never do anything that is not beneficial. I am worried that,  The former king of Gaochang Kingdom, Gao Ya, once made a promise to Wusun Kingdom, which would involve Wusun Kingdom and become hostile to us. "

    Situ Liang looked at the diagonal lines drawn by Zhao Xun on the map. To the west, there was one-fifth of the area of ??Gaochang Kingdom. This was the western region of Gaochang Kingdom, and most of the area was once occupied by Qiuci Kingdom.  He said with a solemn expression, "Your Majesty, are you worried that Gao Ya, the former king of Gaochang Kingdom, will cede this western land to Wusun Kingdom?"

    Zhao Xun nodded slightly and said: "When our army started to move west, Gao Ya, the king of Gaochang, should be very clear about the strength comparison between Gaochang and our country. In the past, he had the Turks to support him, so he dared to fight against us.  It¡¯s because he thought we were the same as the Liangzhou Army in the past.¡±

    "After we captured the Yanqi Kingdom in the shortest time, Gao Ya knew better the balance of strength between the two sides. Otherwise, he would not have made good friends with us while deploying heavy troops in the southern border area with the Yanqi Kingdom.  Defense. Without the support of the Turks, it is not unacceptable for him to collude with the Wusun when our army arrives."

    Zhang Yuanjing nodded and said: "According to what we learned from the prisoners in the royal city, after the fall of Wukou City and the defeat of the Royal Guards, the King of Gaochang had no troops to defend and no danger to defend.  , Gao Ya still ordered to stand firm and wait for reinforcements. Thinking about it, the reinforcements he was talking about were probably the Wusun people in the west. We didn't know it, but we should have sent Gao Ya in the first place.  Leave a life behind.¡±

    Zhao Xun shook his head and said: "We want Gao Ya to die in the war and among our own rebels. It is already very difficult to let Gao Ya die with a reasonable layout. If Gao Ya disappears, the consequences will be even more unpredictable. This Gao Ya can be  Not comparable to that idiot from Yanqi State, this person is smooth, fierce, and cunning. Think about it, he can rely on the Turks without losing any land, but becomes stronger. How can this person be a good person?  , but it will leave a legacy.¡±

    "As for the Gaochang Army that was originally stationed in the south of Gaochang Kingdom, although they followed the orders of the new king and were incorporated by us, in order to stabilize this place faster and not cause problems in a short time. The soldiers of Gaochang Kingdom still have  The commander-in-chief of Gaochangguo did not completely disband and reorganize them. In the original plan, these were the next tasks. Now, they can only be separated and arranged in Langcheng and the following five towns.  One is divided into six, but I¡¯m not afraid of it.¡±

    "Immediately spread the news that the Wusun Kingdom sent troops to invade the western part of the Gaochang Kingdom and killed the people of the Gaochang Kingdom, and let everyone in the Gaochang Kingdom know about it. In addition, all the things that the Qiuci Kingdom did in the western part of the Gaochang Kingdom were also disclosed.  On top of the Wusun people. I also hope that the Kucha army will be stationed in the western part of Gaochang Kingdom with us."

    Zhang Yuanjing said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will make proper arrangements. Troops from all over the place have arrived in an orderly manner, and the people from all over the place are also breaking up and regrouping, and moving into designated places. For the local garrison, we are preparing to start from ordinary  Choosing among the young and strong is the same as in Yanqi."

    "The invasion of the Wusun Kingdom is of some benefit to us now. At the very least, it will transfer the hatred of the people of Gaochang Kingdom towards us to the Wusun people. This is also extremely beneficial to our governance of the place.  ¡±

    Zhao Xun nodded and said: "You are right. This is why the king asked you to blame the Wusun people for the burning, killing and looting of the Qiuchi Kingdom in the western region. Regardless of whether the Wusun people are here this time.  What is the purpose? They are connected with Gaochang State. It would be strange to say that they don't have any hostility. Now our Zhao army has captured this place, and our Zhao army's policy is not only better than other countries' capture of this place, it is even better than that of other countries.  Japan's policies were fine in the past. At this moment, when foreign enemies invade, they should understand what the right choice is."

    Situ Liang also smiled and said: "Not only that, although we were raided by the Wusun people this time, our Zhao army did not suffer any losses. Instead, the loss was the Kucha Army. In this way, we have completed the weakening of the Kucha Army.  team¡¯s goal.¡±

    "In addition, I also suggested that using this matter as a reason, let King Qiuci and the current Gaochang army join forces to fight against the enemy. One was raided by the Wusun army, and the other was invaded by the Wusun army. Former enemies, now allies,  It's not impossible. I think that with the coordination of our Zhao army, they will definitely be able to cooperate. However, the final goal is to make the Kucha army and all the remnants of Gaochang Kingdom gradually be consumed.  During the war in Wusun Kingdom."

    Zhao Xun pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "What you said is also a way to turn disadvantages into advantages. However, it is not easy to get the Kucha army and the Gaochang army to cooperate. The Kucha Kingdom invaded in the west  What he did will make it difficult for Gaochang to get along with GuiHereby the troops live in peace.  If there is a problem in one place, there will be problems in the whole situation.  Our original plan was to create real hostility between Gaochang and Qiuci, so as to facilitate our administration of these northern countries.  "

    Zhao Xun sighed and continued with some irritation, "I didn't want to fight, but the Wusun Kingdom, which was originally outside the plan, intervened and our plan had to be deviated. Let's do this, let the people in Liangzhou  The garrison will deploy another force to Gaochangguo, and let the soldiers be inserted into the Gaochangguo and Kucha army. Of course, we will need to provide liaison and military advisor duties. "

    "In addition, as the king of Gaochang, I want to ask the Wusun Kingdom why they are here. At the same time, as the Zhao Jun, I want to ask the Wusun Kingdom why they attacked our army. Among the Qiuci people, I am  The soldiers of the Zhao army are here. Please first understand the purpose of this Wusun Kingdom and then make corresponding preparations."

    Sure enough, as Zhao Xun expected, Wusun Kingdom really got the elegant promise from the former king of Gaochang Kingdom to cede the western part of Gaochang Kingdom to Wusun Kingdom. The requirement was that Wusun Kingdom sent troops to Gaochang Kingdom to repel Zhao Jun and Gui.  This is the team.  However, the Wusun people did not expect Zhao Jun to move so quickly.  Their original strategy of letting Gao Changguo and Zhao Jun consume each other failed to materialize.

    Wusun Kingdom did not want to see the fat in their hands fly away, so they directly attacked the Kucha Army and occupied the thirteen cities in the west of Gaochang Kingdom.

    "My lord, the Wusun Kingdom has stationed a total of 80,000 soldiers in the western cities, and there is a tendency to increase the number of troops. However, their soldiers are not as strong as ours, and their armor and equipment are not as complete and sharp as ours."  With a solemn look on his face, Situ Liang reported the detailed situation in the west to Zhao Xun, who had already arrived at the capital of Gaochang King.

    "Then are we ready? What about Langcheng and the following five cities? Have the arrangements been made?" Zhao Xun asked in a deep voice.  The current situation is more complicated than it was at the beginning.  The 80,000 Wusun army has exceeded Zhao Xun's expectations.  If one mistake is not made, the area in the north of the Western Region already occupied by the Zhao army will suddenly be in chaos.

    Situ Liang naturally knew what Zhao Xun was worried about, and said repeatedly: "Don't worry, my lord, we have made arrangements. With the cooperation of the new king and officials of Gaochang Kingdom, the Gaochang Army and the Qiuci Army are under Zhao Jun's control."  In the absence of lubricants, the six cities have been jointly defended. "

    Situ Liang paused and then said: "In addition, these Gaochang soldiers, especially the families of the officers, are all under our control. If they dare to make any changes, they will definitely be miserable."

    Although Situ Liang's method is somewhat unethical, for Zhao Xun, he can accept any method as long as it is not directed at one of his own people.

    Wusun Kingdom did not continue eastward, but its aggressive posture not only did not weaken, but became stronger.  Of course, everyone in the Wusun Kingdom was also afraid of Zhao Jun.  Although Zhao Jun's troops in the Western Regions were only about 10,000 soldiers, Wusun State was able to mobilize tens of thousands of soldiers.  However, Wusun State was not as capable as Zhao Jun, who could destroy more than a dozen large and small countries in a row and surrender them with soldiers within half a year.  Counting the Qiuci Kingdom, the Western Region occupied by Zhao Jun was already much larger than that of the Wusun Kingdom. The Wusun Kingdom had to worry about this powerful military group.

    And Zhao Jun did not fight back, but connected Qiuci State, Yanqi State and Gaochang State together.  In the west of Gaochang Kingdom, the two armies of Gaochang Kingdom and Gaochang Kingdom were connected together. Under the command of Zhao Jun, they slowly began to cooperate.  To the east of Xisha City occupied by the Wusun Kingdom, Langcheng was the vanguard, followed by five cities that formed an irregular vertical line as the flanks. They defended the city with a total of 60,000 troops.

    Among them, there are more than 25,000 people from Gaochang Kingdom and more than 17,000 people from Qiuci Kingdom, while the Zhao army only has 20,000 cavalry.  However, neither the soldiers of Gaochang Kingdom nor the soldiers of Qiuci Kingdom dared to underestimate the Zhao army's cavalry.  They all knew that if they faced the Zhao cavalry, they would need at least twice as many troops to compete with them.

    The soldiers of these two countries were not only afraid of Zhao Jun, but also envied Zhao Jun.  For the soldiers, what they value most is five thousand, armor and war horses, and the Zhao army soldiers are all above them.  In addition, the treatment is even better.

    In this way, the soldiers of Zhao gradually communicated with the soldiers of the two countries and gradually assimilated.  Although he can't do anything to the soldiers of Qiuci Kingdom now, Zhao Jun needs to integrate them into his own body for the soldiers of Gaochang Kingdom.  These soldiers are all from the Gaochang Kingdom, and their hearts are that Gaochang Kingdom will slowly be annexed by the Zhao army, and they want to dilute the influence of Gaochang Kingdom in the hearts of the people.  Of course, this soldier is also a top priority.

    These Gaochang State soldiers were originally stationed in the southern part of Gaochang State to guard against the Zhao army.  Although he is now taking orders from the new king, this is not a very safe way for Zhao Xun.  The existence of these people can have an impact on Zhao Jun's rule here at any time.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Our own armor and equipment are of the highest quality, and we also show our good treatment to the soldiers of Gaochang Kingdom.  At the same time, they also used the examples of the Mohe people and Khitan people in the past to tell them about the lives of the small tribes outside the border after they joined the Zhao army, so as to attract these soldiers and make them accept Gaochang's integration into the Zhao army.

    There are more than 80,000 troops on one side, and the rear is still making preparations for a big war.  One side has more than 60,000 people and is backed by several countries.  No one on either side attacked, but the tension of the situation was still clear.

    Wusun State was reluctant to part with the territory it had obtained, but Zhao Jun would not give up.  For Zhao Xun, it would be beneficial to him to remain in a stalemate on what to do.  Whether it is Yanqi, Gaochang or Qiuci, as time passes, they will be able to provide themselves with more help.

    Therefore, Zhao Xun sent people to defend to the death but never give up.  Immediately speed up the process of tidying up the place.  In the Yanqi Kingdom, rectification has been going on for many days, and new cities in various places have begun to be basically completed.  With the help of Zhao Jun, these people had a new life.  The passage of merchants from Zhao allowed them to see a wider world and see the power of Zhao.  As for Gaochang State, because of the invasion of Wusun State, they accepted the rule of the Zhao army and accepted defeat.

    After all, losing to Zhao Jun is nothing. In the past, hundreds of years ago to decades ago, the Han Dynasty established rule in the Western Regions. It is not unusual for Zhao Jun to now become the new overlord of the Western Regions.  Moreover, after Zhao Jun took control of this place, he implemented the taxation method, and the people's lives became better.  Therefore, they slowly accepted Zhao Jun
