"Are you saying that the Western Regions are likely to have fallen into the hands of the Xiongnu?" After getting the news, Zhao Tuo was also a little shocked.

It will only be a year since the news of the Xiongnu's westward migration came back, right?

Within this year, the Xiongnu had actually controlled the entire Western Regions?

It's such a big place, and there's not even a decent resistance?

Well, Lu Jia was even more terrifying when he came, didn't the Western Regions have any decent resistance?

"It is basically certain that we have found three thousand Hun troops." Yang Biao said.

"Hmmm! In this case, things may not be so simple! Zhao Tuo couldn't help but nod in agreement.

In this regard, Zhao Tuo's perception is more accurate than Yang Biao.

The scale of 3,000 people is not big, but it is not small.

In this place in the Western Regions, it can already be called the main force.

And since the 3,000 people of the Xiongnu can swagger around here, it must not be possible to just come to tempt.

Besides, the Han Dynasty didn't know the urine nature of the Western Regions, and with three thousand troops under the city, they didn't even dare to resist.

"Hurry up and enter Loulan, you can learn more news there, and send someone back to tell Your Majesty the news!" Zhao Tuo said again: "I have a feeling that this marriage with Wusun is going to be ruined!" ”

Yang Biao nodded and didn't ask that much.

Whether to soak in the soup or not, what he said doesn't count, and it's not something he cares about.

He just needs to do what he needs to do now.

Two days later, the caravan finally entered Loulan, the city wall was still the same wall, and there were some bloody stains of killing faintly outside the city, but there were not many.

The city was a little dilapidated, but the worst didn't happen.

The 2,000 pursuers sent by Yang Biao played a role, so that the 3,000 Hun cavalry did not dare to return to Yixun.

While the worst didn't happen, it wasn't much better.

At this moment, the city of Yixun can be described as a mess.

After the Huns came, the people inside and outside the city were completely devastated.

Houses were occupied, women were seized, and men were arrested and forced to work.

The bureaucrats and nobles were better, but they were also killed by the Huns, and the rest saw that the Huns were so ruthless, and they didn't dare to say anything in an instant, so they chose to surrender.

became the second dog under the command of the Huns, and ignored the Huns' misdeeds in Loulan, and even helped them deal with the aftermath and wipe their butts.

Not to mention the people below, who dare not speak out when they dare to be angry, and some people don't even dare to be angry.

The scimitars of the Xiongnu became their nightmare for a while, and compared to the Han Dynasty, it was obvious that the Huns were more terrible for them.

"Han envoy, you can be regarded as back, you don't know, how brutal this Huns are, anyone who is disobedient, they are not even lazy to fight, they are directly killed, they not only occupy our house, but also rob our women and food ......" In Yixun City, watching a large number of Han troops enter, an official hurriedly stepped forward and cried.

"Who are you?" Zhao Tuo glanced at the other party lightly, he always felt that there was some cunning in this person.

"I'm Ulutu, the Marquis of Loulan Fuguo......," Ulutu hurriedly introduced himself.

"Where's King Loulan?" Zhao Tuo asked directly.

"My king was called away by the Huns......" Urutu replied cautiously.

At the same time, a soldier leaned in Zhao Tuo's ear and whispered a few words.

Zhao Tuo's eyes glanced at Urutu again, it seemed that his feeling was right, this Urutu was really a treacherous person.

"The kings have been held hostage by the Huns, why don't you wait to rescue them?" Zhao Tuo didn't immediately break Ulutu, but pretended to ask.

"The Han envoy doesn't know, it's not that we don't want to save it, but we can't save it at all. The total strength of our Loulan is only 3,000 people, and the Xiongnu alone sent 3,000 people to garrison here, but 10,000 people came at the beginning, and the equipment and other things are more advanced than us, so they can't be defeated at all. Urutu said with a pitiful look.

"Can't beat it? Or kill those who can be beaten? Zhao Tuo's voice suddenly changed.

"Uh......" Urutu was suddenly embarrassed.

This question is simply too level.

"When...... Of course, we can't fight, we also resisted, but really can't fight, the Huns threatened to slaughter the city if they don't surrender, this is really no way, and then they threatened my king not to go with them to slaughter the country, my king is worried that the people will be implicated, can only follow them, before leaving, I must protect the people of Loulan, these months you don't know how hard I am, every day to please those Huns, the anger of the Huns I have borne down, pray not to let them vent their anger on the people. Urutu did his best to explain to himself.

If you don't know anything, you may really be confused by Urutu's words.

But I'm afraid Ulutu has forgotten that behind Zhao Tuo, there are not no people who don't know Loulan's internal situation.

Slaughter the country?

There are more than 10,000 men, women and children in Loulan, and this is not a difficult thing.

But the Xiongnu probably didn't want a dead city, and they planned to count on letting these people work for them.

So the best thing to do is to kill the disobedient and let the obedient go up and help them rule.

No matter how cruel the Huns are here, as long as Ulutu can suppress those Loulan natives, this is a very conventional management routine, and it is also a very effective routine.

"Where did Ge Risong go?" Zhao Tuo asked with a smile again.

"......" Ulutu suddenly trembled violently, and looked up at Zhao Tuo violently.

He......

How did he know about Ge Risong?

"Ge ...... He...... He was executed by my king because he had angered my king......" Urutu took the plunge and arranged a place for Ge Risong.

"You're so dishonest!" Zhao Tuo shook his head speechlessly.

He just wanted to give Ulutu a chance, but alas, this guy didn't want it.

Who is Ge Risong?

That is the great nobleman of Loulan, the auxiliary marquis of Loulan, and he has been the auxiliary marquis for generations, why did you Ulutu become the auxiliary marquis?

Besides, Ge Risong's relationship with King Loulan is not too bad.

Just now, Loulan's envoy told Zhao Tuo that anyway, when he left, Ge Risong had a very good relationship with King Loulan, but it was Ulutu, who had nothing to do every day, did not do his job, bullied men and women everywhere, and many nobles wanted to kill him, but because of King Loulan's face, he didn't do anything.

Such a bastard guy, how blind is King Loulan to entrust the country to him?

And in order to prevent the Huns from being angry with the people of Loulan, he took on too much Hun anger?

"Grab it!" Zhao Tuo waved his hand, he didn't have any interest in this Ulutu.

Originally, I was going to learn some information through him, but looking at the way it looks now, there is obviously no hope, and how many of the questions that came out of his mouth are accurate?

"Alas, Han envoy, no...... No, I'm looking forward to the Han army coming over day and night, I'm a big Han, you can't do this to me......" Ulutu panicked in an instant and hurriedly explained.

"Shut his mouth!" Zhao Tuo is a little irritable, he is also a person who has been a king, and he hates people like Ulutu the most.

Although there was no harm in having such a person in Loulan, he didn't want it now.

"Alas...... You...... You can't, Nima coins, you ......" Seeing that the Han people were playing for real, Ulutu didn't have the heart to beg for mercy, so he simply scolded directly.

No one knows better than themselves what they have done, and once they are caught, then they can't hold back all those things.

Therefore, being arrested is equivalent to being executed, so after a while, Ulutu, who was in a hurry, couldn't let the Han people smoothly plug their mouths, and then started scolding.

But it was useless to scold, before he finished a sentence, he was first gagged, and then he was punched.

And then he was taken down.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Tuo found an envoy from Loulan and asked Yang Biao to send troops to protect him, and began to search the city for officials he considered reliable.

The next thing he wants to know is still through these people.

Although he still doesn't know the inside story, but through what he shows now, Zhao Tuo doesn't feel good.

"They should have killed a group of disobedient people, and that Ge Risong is probably also more than lucky!" Zhao Tuo said slowly.

"Isn't that a good thing?" Yang Biao has a different view.

The purpose of the Han was to annex this place and turn Loulan into a county of the Han Dynasty.

Then disobedient people will always have to be dealt with, they don't listen to the Huns, and they will not listen to the Han either.

Now the Huns have helped them deal with these people, so the next step is to make things more smooth for the Han to do things, and at the same time, they will not be subject to too much resistance.

As for the people, after feeling the horror of the Xiongnu rule, they must not have much resistance to the Han now.

"Uh...... You're really clear-minded......" Zhao Tuo smiled speechlessly.

It is good for rule, but it is not good for rule.

The number of officials in the Han Dynasty is not enough, so some grassroots officials still have to use their locals, and then slowly transfer and remove, which takes time to accumulate.

And some talented people have been killed, and there are some shameless goods left, how to deal with the next government affairs?

Could it be that you can tell the imperial court that the Western Regions are still in chaos now?

Doesn't that show that they are very incompetent?

However, these are the things that Zhao Tuo needs to have a headache, but Yang Biao can't manage so much.

Of course, Yang Biao is not going to be easy.

"In the short term, let's focus on Loulan first, slowly infiltrate the surrounding areas, and the trade route can't be opened for the time being, so we have to let the imperial court send more people over......
