There were three caravans dressed up by selected sergeants.

Thousands of elites wreaked havoc in the city, while also taking the gates.

The army outside the city, which had been killed at the appointed time, immediately swarmed in with countless torches.

Everything is a foregone conclusion.

Lu Jian had been taken away and imprisoned, and Wang Xiao sat on the throne where he used to sit and looked at the glass cup in his hand.

"There are too many bubbles and the color is not pure. At my place, a few dollars a lot at most. ”

Xiao Yu sat down and looked at him silently.

"I know I'm handsome, and it's normal for you to have thoughts about me. Don't force me, I can give it to you whenever you want. ”

The woman didn't care about Wang Xiao's ridicule, and looked at him seriously, "What do you mean when you say the King of the Northland." ”

"It's literal."

Wang Xiao shrugged indifferently: "It's time for the sons and daughters of the Han family to turn over." ”

"How about I play my father's emperor and crown you as the king of Dingbei?"

Wang Xiao finally put down the glass cup in his hand, "In addition to a name, what else can you give?" Soldiers and horses, grain and grass, supplies, territory? You can't give anything. Just a ban wants to buy me, and I look down on people too much. ”

Xiao Yu took a deep breath, gritted his silver teeth, and looked at Wang Xiao sincerely, "Add me." ”

Women in this era always have to get married.

Even if Xiao Yu is a princess, she can't escape this fate.

The children of the domestic family in Nanliang, she is not a single eye. They are all incompetent people with a lot of voices.

What she can see is the famous Chen Qingzhi.

Although he can not care about his age, Chen Qingzhi's physical condition is already very bad, and the imperial doctor asserts that he only has a few years of work at most.

Xiao Yu has traveled all over the world and has seen many so-called young handsome people. Only Wang Xiao, who is both civil and military, can make her really look at her.

Now for the sake of Liang, she is willing to use herself to tie Wang Xiao.

"Don't say that."

Wang Xiao held Xiao Yu's slender little hand, "You are my person, this is not a condition." ”

"When am I going to be your man?"

"From the time I captured you, you were my captive."

From the king of Gaochang onwards, all the princes and nobles and even the powerful merchants in the city were wiped out. Resistance in the city was so weak that it was almost negligible.

In the face of the threat of death, these people chose to surrender without hesitation.

With their help, Wang Xiao successfully won the entire Gaochang Kingdom.

With a population of nearly 200,000 and a large amount of wealth, it opened the passage to the Western Regions.

Such a rich harvest, compared to the previous efforts, is definitely a great expansion of strength.

Wang Xiao was not ambiguous, and directly opened the treasure vault of King Gaochang and let Xiao Yu choose at will.

Xiao Yu, who said that he didn't care, happily picked it for two days.

It is not enough to simply occupy this place, if you want to let the people here use it for themselves, you must give enough benefits to others and win people's hearts.

He first sent the Gaochang royal family, as well as the princes and ministers and the big merchants in the city to Liangzhou.

Then the fields and houses occupied by these people were distributed to the people of Gaochang Kingdom in the form of free distribution.

No matter where they are, the Chinese people, as a farming people, have a deep land plot.

Previously, most of the fields in Gaochang were concentrated in the hands of a small number of people. Now these people have been sent to Liangzhou as prisoners, and the land and houses they left behind have become Wang Xiao's weapons to win people's hearts.

"If you don't want to lose these fields and houses again, then support me to protect you. If I lose the battle, then everything you have now will be someone else's spoils. ”

These words were written directly on the Lubu notice, which was easy to understand.

When there was nothing, the people of Gaochang Kingdom didn't care about the change of the king's flag at the head of the city.

But now, when they have their own fields, houses, cattle, sheep and horses, their enthusiasm for protecting their property has been greatly stimulated.

In just half a month, Wang Xiao recruited nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses in Gaochang Kingdom.

With a population of only 200,000, the mobilization rate of nearly one-tenth is simply insane for this era.

"You have conscripted all the strong laborers into the army, who will plough the land?"

Xiao Yu didn't understand Wang Xiao's approach, this was a proper reckless force.

Wang Xiao divided the fields and houses, so as to obtain the high support of the people of Gaochang State. This stimulated Xiao Yu a lot.

She also knew what terrible power the people would gain when they divided the land. If they do the same, it will be just a matter of waiting to clean up the old mountains and rivers.

But Xiao Yu thought about it carefully, and finally came to the conclusion that the girder couldn't do it.

Daliang, like Gaochangguo, most of the fields were concentrated in the hands of the royal family and the gate lords.

No one can take the field out of their hands.

If there is not enough land to divide, then it is useless to say anything.

"I just gathered for training, and I didn't say I was going to take them all away."

Wang Xiao was busy distributing supplies, mobilizing armaments, and arranging training. For Xiao Yu's question, he simply responded, "I will take some people away according to their performance." The rest, as garrison troops, stayed here to guard. ”

"Where are you going? Continue to recover all parts of the Western Regions, or go to fight the nine surnames of Zhaowu? ”

"It's not." Wang Xiao shook his head and said, "The Western Regions are too big. Moreover, there are Turks in the north, Tuguhun in the south, Gaoche in the west, and Rouran in the east to fight the autumn wind. If these troubles are not solved, even if the entire Western Regions are recovered, they will end up being constantly harassed and exhausted. I'm going to fight all these forces around me first. ”

Xiao Yu looked at Wang Xiao and didn't know what to say.

The tribes on the steppe are all wolves, which one is easy to get along with?

Wang Xiao actually said that he wanted to beat them all over, and the toad yawned.

"Don't believe me?"

Wang Xiao understood her expression, and said with a smile, "Do you want to make a bet?" ”

The eldest princess gave him a roll of her eyes, and she knew all day thinking about these sese.

"If you can really win against these steppe tribes, what if I give it to you."

No one in Nanliang would have a good impression of the grassland tribes. When the clothes crossed east, it was so miserable.

This painful memory, even after many years, is still in my heart.

"Now that the recruits are just starting to grow, they can't fight a tough battle. I'm going to start with the weakest. ”

Wang Xiao pulled Xiao Yu to the map, and pointed to the north of Gaochang Kingdom, "The south of Jinshan is the territory of the Rouran iron slaves and Turkic people. Every time the autumn is high and the horses are fat, they will come to disturb the Western Regions. If you don't defeat them, Gaochang will not be at peace here. ”

The current Turks are not the huge empires that dominated the northern steppes and spanned thousands of miles during the Sui and Tang dynasties.

They are now just a vassal tribe of the Rourans. It wasn't until more than a decade later that Tiele was annexed before it really went from strength to strength.

Decades later, they will defeat the Rouran people, dominate the Western Regions, and truly become a new generation of grassland overlords.

Now is the best time to go and fight them.

"The Turks can smelt iron and raise horses. These are all I need, defeat them, and the loot will be abundant. ”

"You're so confident? It's autumn now, and before you can fight them, they'll kill them first. ”

Wang Xiao laughed: "I have already sent spies to investigate in the name of the caravan. This year, they have infighting, and the competition for the sweat position is lively, and they will not come. When the winter training was over, I sent troops to take him by surprise. ”

"Sending troops in winter?" Xiao Yu said in surprise: "You don't know how cold the winter on the grassland is? ”

Wang Xiao smiled but did not answer, his face was full of confidence.

Li Jing can break the Turks on a snowy day, and so can he.

"This battle, if I win." Wang Xiao stepped forward and whispered a few words in Xiao Yu's ear: "How?" ”

Xiao Yuqiao's face was flushed, and she glanced at him, "Okay." ”

It was Wang Xiao's turn to be surprised: "You really agreed?" Don't come back then, I'm a little girl, it's natural that words don't count. ”

Xiao Yu bit her red lip lightly, turned around and left with a red face, "If you don't believe it, forget it." ”

Wang Xiao stayed in Gaochang to strictly train soldiers and horses, and also sent people to Xiliang to transport many supplies.

A few months passed in a hurry, and when the sky began to fall snowflakes, Wang Xiao set off with his troops and horses towards the north.

He didn't bring too many people, and the ones he picked out were only in his early 20,000s.

However, Wang Xiao brought all the horses with him this time, and basically achieved one person and two rides.

Men and horses alike were wrapped in thick clothes and struggled to make their way through the snowy days.

"More than 200 people got frostbite yesterday." At night, inside Wang Xiao's military tent. Wrapped like a ball, Xiao Yu was trying to persuade him: "The further north you go, the colder it gets." If you continue like this, you won't wait to find the Turks' tents, and your people will be swallowed by the white devils. ”

"Think about it differently, if you are the Great Khan of the Turks. Would you believe that a large army is coming to attack in such weather conditions? ”

Wang Xiao's words made Xiao Yu speechless, "In a head-to-head showdown, it is almost impossible to have any hope of winning." Only a surprise attack will do. Now is the perfect time to raid them, and whoever can hold out to the end will be the winner. ”

After getting along for so long, Xiao Yu can be regarded as understanding Wang Xiao's character.

Don't look at the jokes and jokes he usually makes, but once he makes up his mind to do something, the nine cows can't pull it back.

The most exaggerated thing is that everything he wants to do has been done.

Xiao Yu sighed and no longer persuaded Wang Xiao, who was busy with military affairs. Turn around and go back to the back tent to spread the futon, lie down in and start warming the bed.

I don't know when she became Wang Xiao's maid.

took care of his diet and daily life all day, and had to make a bed and fold a warm quilt at night. She wanted to laugh when she thought about it.

She's the eldest princess of Daliang.

In a daze, a broad shoulder leaned over and took her into his arms.

Xiao Yu, who was sleepy, found a good position in Wang Xiao's arms, muttered a few words and fell asleep.

Although they had made the most perfect preparations before setting off, in the face of the cold of winter on the grassland, the soldiers and horses under Wang Xiao's command were almost collapsed in the constant frostbite.

The attrition of thousands of wounded and sick men almost caused this army of recruits to mutinied.

When more and more people began to shout to go back, the spies sent by Wang Xiao a long time ago to reconnoiter the intelligence of the Turks in the name of the caravan finally found them.

"My lord, the Turkic tent is seventy miles northwest of this place!"
