Chapter 620: The Battle of the Western Regions (10)
The Ming army marched westward, and the Che division was extinguished first, and at that time, some sergeants and civilians fled westward, or to Wensu, Yanqi and other countries, doubling the brutality and bloodshed of the Ming army.
At this time, Wensu and other small countries still didn't know about Gongsun Du's establishment of the Ming Empire, and they didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional by Wuchan Najiahai, but they all knew that the Han Dynasty was extremely powerful, and they couldn't match it, so they invited King Qiuzi to the west-
Bai Fu! (Strangely, Du Niang happened to lack the record of the 95-year-old King of Qiuzi between 127 and 222, and according to its rules, such a name was made.) )
Qiuzi was the first power in the Western Regions, and later because it was sandwiched between the Han and the Xiongnu, its strength gradually declined, but it was still a power in the Western Regions. In the twenty-second year of Emperor Guangwu's military establishment, Shache Wang Xian attacked and killed the king of Qiuci, divided Qiuci and Wudie, and established Zeluo as the king of Qiuci and the king of Wulei respectively.
A few years later, the people of Qiuzi launched a rebellion, killed Zeluo and Si, sent the Xiongnu, and asked for a new king. The Xiongnu then set up the nobleman of Qiuci as the king of Qiuci. Since then, although there have been ups and downs in Qiuzi, the capital power has never been lost, and now, Bai Fu has been on the throne for 19 years, and his prestige is rising.
Before resisting Guishan's eastward advance, Bai Fu sent 30,000 troops to help, which can not be said to be not strong.
When Bai Fu heard the news, he immediately had the idea of sending people to the Central Plains to negotiate, however, before he could set off, Zhao Yun led troops from Yumen Pass, which in their opinion was Yumen, and marched westward to Jingjie.
Bai Fu then temporarily extinguished his desire to negotiate, so he had to call the countries of the Western Regions, preparing to form a coalition to deal a fatal blow to Zhao Yun, show his force to the Central Plains, and then negotiate.
It's just that although Qiuzi is the overlord of the Western Regions, he has to gather a huge coalition army, ah, 100,000 horses is indeed a huge drop for the Western Regions! Therefore, it took a lot of time, and when the army gathered, the news of the destruction of Ronglu in the south reached the ears of Bai Fu and others, and even some small countries like Ronglu rose to fear.
Bai Fu finally appeased these people with some coercion and temptation, but the accident reappeared, and the news that the Ming army had brought troops to the capital of Cheshi Wang came over.
"Ma's, does this Han Emperor want to annex the Western Regions?" Bai Fu's face was bruised, and he was furious.
This has to say that the time for Gongsun Du to ascend the throne is good, so that the news will not reach the Western Regions for a while, and Kantar and others will be detained.
Now what? Others must have received the news that they are going to have moths again! No, you have to think of a way, otherwise you can't stand eating this king's every day, so it's better to let them die quickly.
Bai Fu thought about it, and had a plan in his heart. At this time, the voice of the guard came from outside the door-
"Your Majesty, the generals ask to see you!"
The corners of Bai Fu's mouth hooked up with a touch of disdain, and said, "Let them in." ”
When everyone entered the door, Bai Fu had no expression on his face for an instant, just looked at them lightly.
The visitor didn't notice anything wrong, and one of them opened his mouth and said: "King Qiuzi, there are enemy troops coming, and there are no less than 50,000, plus the south road, but there are almost 100,000 people, similar to us, I'm afraid it's not an opponent, or ...... Or is it a sum? Like before, he is called a minister? ”
"Bang~"
Suddenly, there was a loud noise, which startled everyone.
Without waiting for them to find the source, they heard Bai Fu shout angrily: "Call the minister Nagong? This king looks at you, he's a fool! Honest fool, everyone has sent an army of 100,000, is it for you to pay tribute? Is that little stuff you have enough for an army of 100,000? What a fool! ”
After saying that, Bai Fu's own complexion became extremely ugly. Because he found out that this might be the truth of the matter, wouldn't he be a fool in this way?
"So what now?"
Everyone panicked and began to talk nonsense. Bai Fu didn't hear anything else, but he heard this question clearly.
What a bunch of rubbish, what can you do but do bad things? Just know and ask! (Like it - the magic weapon of the test teacher?) )
Bai Fu thought about it, but he didn't forget to say his plan: "This king thinks that the army that has been in Jingjie for so long has not moved much, so there should be no big moves in a short time, so let's go directly to Jiaohe City." ”
Suddenly, one person said: "That's just a possibility, what if the other party really moves?" ”
Bai Fu, who was questioned, felt unhappy, but had to say: "Don't worry, no matter what, there is still an exquisite queen next to them, I believe that as a great power in the Western Regions, she will never stand idly by." Moreover, this king has already repaired a book and asked people to hand it over to the queen, so there should be no problem. ”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Among the countries in the Western Regions, the three kingdoms of Qiuci, Khotan, and Jingjue are the most powerful. Last year, Khotan was broken by Guishan, and although it still exists, it is also greatly damaged in strength, and it is no longer a sign of a great power before.
It would be nice if Jingjue was also defeated by the Han army when we marched eastward!
Bai Fu licked his lips, and an evil thought grew in his heart: If this is the case, when the Han people are repelled, this king will dominate the Western Regions! Build an empire comparable to Kushan!
Fortunately, this guy is relatively sober and doesn't think about being comparable to a big man. Although it won't be long before the Han Dynasty will become ancient, not everyone can rely on it to compare. (It's like going to compare the height with Da Yao, the female is called cute, and the male has to be stunned and stupid~)
The next day, the persuaded people followed Bai Fu to march eastward.
Two days later, they arrived at Wulei. It happened that the news that Gongsun Du had led troops out of Jiaohe City came again, and Bai Fu couldn't help but be happy.
"Everyone!"
Bai Fu beckoned everyone and said, "Now there is good news, do you want to hear it?" ”
"Good news?" Everyone was curious.
"Hahaha~"
Bai Fu laughed twice, and when he saw that no one responded, he said: "The Han army has just come out of Hecheng, it seems that they are going to this side, you say, is this good news?" ”
"This ...... Calculate! And that's great news! ”
"That's right, we people have been crisscrossing the Western Regions for so many years, where there are mountains, where there is water, where there are prey, it can be said that it is clear, these Han people are not stationed in the city, aren't they looking for death when they run out of the city?"
"Ahem, don't forget Ban Dingyuan's father and son, they are the best at winning more with less, and they are not afraid of fighting in the wilderness!" When everyone is blindly confident, there are still people who can see the facts.
However, the other man glanced at him and sneered, "Huh...... How many years ago did you say this? Are we still the same as we were back then? Will you be scared by a little Han army? Or do you think everyone is like your captain? ”
Weitou, a small country in the Western Regions, has 300 households, 2,300 mouths, and 800 victorious soldiers.
"You ......" the captain will be angry, but if he is weak, he will speak lightly, no one said it before, it doesn't mean that everyone can afford him.
Another person whispered: "Tsk, take two hundred people, and think you are a big man?" ”
It's just this low voice, but everyone around listens to it.
Bai Fu didn't pay attention to the noise of everyone, but continued to think about the news he had just gotten, the more he thought about it, the happier he became, and the more he thought about it......
Two days later, after passing through Yanqi South River City, the news arrived again.
Didn't move? What do you mean?
Bai Fu's heart was full of doubts: Did he know that we were coming? But why didn't he retreat? Just waiting a hundred miles away? Fraud? Well, the Han people have always been good at using tricks, it is possible!
"Alright, let's all disperse, let's leave early tomorrow!"
"King Guizi has spoken, let's go!"
Er, the crowd dispersed.
Bai Fu recruited his subordinates, auxiliary marquis, left and right generals, left and right captains, and left and right and canals.
Because Qiuzi once made a wall grass between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu, it is also effective in political affairs.
When the subordinates arrived, Bai Fu first said what Gongsun Du had done, and then asked, "What do you think the Han people did?" ”
The Marquis of Fuguo is Bai Fu's confidant, and he replied first: "What the Han people do has always been traceless and elusive, so the king should wait and see what happens." ”
General Zuo and the Auxiliary Marquis have never dealt with each other, so he immediately smiled contemptuously and said: "King, now that the situation is urgent, you can't delay it longer, it's better to let others test it, I think the Han people won't know what the difference is between us, won't you know when the time comes?" ”
It's insidious, but it's good, and most importantly......
"No way!"
Without waiting for Bai Fu to speak, the Marquis of Fu Guo took the first step to speak: "Great King, no matter whether you win or lose in the end, I am afraid that you will lose the trust of other countries in the end. ”
I have to say that the word "auxiliary country" of the Auxiliary Marquis is really old and respectful, and he deserves it!
The joy on Bai Fu's face disappeared, but his heart was focused on General Zuo's suggestion, but the face of the Auxiliary Marquis still had to be taken care of, and he couldn't hurt the old minister's heart, so he said: "Well, the Auxiliary Marquis is reasonable. If that's the case, we'll talk about it when we get there. ”
After speaking, without waiting for everyone to say more, he went to the inner account to rest.
"Humph!"
Fuguo Hou glanced at General Zuo unkindly, snorted coldly again, and then turned to leave.
General Zuo didn't care at all, but there was a lot of banter in his eyes.
Old fellow, I'm afraid that your eyes are not good, and you don't see the king's thoughts! Ha ha! Old bastard, when you die, the position of the auxiliary marquis will be the general's.
"Everyone, let's go, and I won't disturb the king's rest." General Zuo greeted the others before walking out.
