"The country of Shule, the king ruled the city of Shule, with a thousand five hundred and ten households, eight thousand six hundred and forty-seven mouths, and two thousand victorious soldiers. The Marquis of Shule, the Marquis of Hu, the Marquis of the Auxiliary State, the Captain, the left and right generals, the left and right cavalry kings, and the left and right translators. It is 560 miles south to Shache. There are city columns (columns). Xidang Dayueshi, Dawan, Kangju Dao also. ”

In the first year of Jianning, the king of Shule was killed by his uncle Hede in the hunt, and Hede established himself as the king and guarded Zhenzhong City. In the third year of Jianning, Liangzhou assassinated Shi Mengtuo, and sent Ren Shi to lead 30,000 horses from various countries in the Western Regions to besiege the middle city of Shule Zhen, and for more than 40 days, the grain was exhausted and the siege was withdrawn (there is a dispute here, see "Cao Quan Tablet" for details).

Zhenzhong is located on the Silk Road. Choke the throat of the east and west of the Green Ridge, the merchants of the Central Plains, all who pass through the South Road, have to repair and rest here, and then go west over the Green Ridge, to the Kushan, rest and Roman countries. Merchants from the eastern regions of Kushan, Anxi, and Rome who wanted to travel to the Central Plains also had to stop at Xiema in this city.

Since the Hantong Western Regions. Merchants from the East and the West gathered in Zhenzhong City. Trade is open here, and there is no exchange. So that the original small city at the foot of the green ridge is becoming more and more prosperous.

For hundreds of years. Zhenzhong City has been expanded many times, and it has been quite large-scale during the Jianning period.

It has been ten years since the siege of Liangzhou Thorn Shi Mengtuo. In the past ten years, the self-established king of Hede, painstaking management, many times of reinforcement and expansion, Zhenzhong City has become a copper wall and iron wall, known as the green ridge city. He also recruited thousands of soldiers and horses.

At this moment.

Wearing the crown of the golden master, he sat on the throne in the king of Shule and De, and read the handwritten handwriting of the king of Shache in his hand several times. Only then did he raise his head slightly, and asked the envoy in the hall, "Is the news true?" ”

The envoy of the Shache King bowed down and replied: "Back to the king, this news is from the mouth of the current Queen of Qiuzi, and it is naturally true. ”

"King Shache, how many soldiers and horses are you going to send?"

"Five thousand light riders."

King Shule sneered: "Changshi has more than 10,000 elite cavalry, and Qiuzi can also send 10,000 troops." With only 5,000 soldiers and horses, how can it be of great use? ”

"The king doesn't know." The envoy then said: "Although Changshi has 10,000 fine horsemen, he has to guard several cities. At this time, it had no more than 2,000 soldiers and horses in the city. Now that the new king of Qiuzi has ascended the throne, the situation is turbulent and the people are uncertain. The soldiers of Qiuzi have not been able to return to their hearts, how can they be used for a long history? Therefore, it is necessary to leave most of the soldiers and horses to garrison Qiuzi in case there is a change. Although the king of my family only rode 5,000 lightly, he could borrow another 10,000 Xianbei horses from the begging department! With the addition of the king's 5,000 fine horsemen, there are 20,000 troops. Ten times longer than the long history. And by surprise, attack it unprepared. How can you win?

This is a godsend. Don't miss the opportunity, and never miss it. If the long history is full of people's hearts, all the countries in the Western Regions will be used by them. At that time, such as the story of Banduhu, he united the armies of all countries and raised troops to fight against the king. The situation is critical! ”

King Shule smiled again: "Ten years ago, Liangzhou assassinated Shi Mengtuo, sent Ren Shi and others to lead 30,000 horses from various countries to surround my Zhenzhong City, and the bloody battle lasted for more than 40 days, and the grain was exhausted. Ten years later, Zhenzhong City is as solid as it used to be. After a long history, what is Lonely's fear? ”

The messenger nodded in goodness. But then he said, "There is no need to be delayed. The Han court often said, 'Those who commit crimes against strong men will be punished even if they are far away'. In front of the king of Dawan hidden the BMW and killed the Han envoys, although it was thousands of miles away, the Han Dynasty also raised troops to attack it. Besieged the city for more than 40 days, broke its outer city, like a great fear, walked into the middle city, killed the king, and surrendered with his head. Later, the former king of Qiuzi killed the captain Lai Dan, and seven years later, the Han Dynasty raised troops to fight, although the old king died, the blood feud was not extinguished, and the nobles were cut off to sacrifice Lai Dan.

There is Dawan in front of it, thousands of miles away. After Lai Dan, seven years apart. Dare to ask the king, do you know what 'although it is far away, it will be punished'? ”

"......" King Shule was silent.

"No matter how long or short it is, it's a long time. If there is revenge, it will be avenged, and it is the Han who acts. The envoy paused slightly: "Ten years ago, Meng Tuo and Ren Shi were unknown, and the king was lucky to win. Ten years later, the long history shook the northern and western regions, and won many battles and threatened. The soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and all the men under their command are tigers. Can the king be sure of victory? ”

"......" King Shule was speechless.

Shache messenger, hit the nail on the head.

In the four hundred years of Huanghuang, the power of the Han Tiger is still there. Destroy the Xiongnu first, and then destroy Xianbei. Ten years ago, although he won by luck, he has not been able to be forgiven by the Han Court. New hatreds and old hatreds have not been written off. The long history will inevitably raise troops to ask for guilt. Is it possible, also learn from Dawan, kill the king together, and hold my head to surrender?

No way. Preemptive strikes are required.

With this in mind, King Shule was already moved: "Queen Mother Qiuzi, although she is Princess Shache, may not be credible. ”

"The king doesn't know. In order to prevent the queen mother from interfering in politics, Changshi wants to set up his son and kill his mother! ”

"I see." Then the king of Shule relieved his knot: "If the king of Shache wants to borrow troops from a lonely place, he must see sincerity. ”

"After the deed is completed, I am willing to give one million dollars, 100,000 cattle and sheep, 10,000 stones of grain, and 3,000 sets of armor!" The messenger spoke.

King Shule said in a rough voice: "There is no basis for what you say. ”

"There is a list of gifts from my prince's relatives here, please take a look at the king." The messenger then presented the gift list.

That's it.

After a careful look, King Shule said: "As long as the king of Shache can borrow 10,000 Xianbei cavalry, this king will send a large army to fight together." ”

"Thank you, King Chengful." The Shache envoy bowed solemnly, although meticulous, but the Han rite was only five points alike.

"Get up." Even King Shule couldn't stand it.

Nowadays, all the countries in the Western Regions have been sinicized to varying degrees. Shache and Shulezi are no exception. Of course, on the depth of sinicization, it should be Qiuzi.

Seeing off the Shache messenger, there was a Han family Taoist with a fairy bones, and he walked out from behind the palace.

"As Ge Qushuai expected. King Shache wants to unite the forces of the three families and intercept and kill Changshi and his party. King Shule said in a deep voice.

"This is the plan of the auxiliary marquis." Taiping Daoist smiled and saluted: "With the king of Shache alone, how can he say that he can beg Xianbei to send troops." It's not that I'm teaching to plot in secret. ”

"Ten years ago, if it weren't for the secret help of the Auxiliary Marquis of Guijiao, how could Lone sit firmly on the throne of Shule. Qu is handsome and assured. It is reasonable to be reasonable, and Gu will definitely rescue the Auxiliary Marquis from the cage. ”

"It's true. The reason why the Auxiliary Marquis was able to peek through the long history was because of the Queen Mother's secret communication. Although Qiuci was ruled by the eldest princess Linchao, King Qiuci was the concubine of the queen mother. Just get rid of the long history and solve the disaster of the killing of the Queen Mother and the Auxiliary Marquis. At that time, Qiuzi was the world I taught. The two families of Qiuzi and Shule only need to tie the good of Qin and Jin and act as a barrier to each other. And then the surrounding small countries, to grow the momentum. It is the great Han who rejuvenates the sword soldiers, and what is there to fear. Taiping Daoist smiled.

"What Qu Shuai said is extremely true." King Shule nodded repeatedly. Since killing his nephew and usurping the throne, he has been unable to sleep and eat every day. Seeing the new Changshi, he stationed in Qiancheng and wanted to raise troops to march westward. On the line of life and death, how can it be better to sit on pins and needles.

Critical moment. Unexpectedly, Taiping Road and Shache Kingdom came together to persuade each other.

The three families worked together, and then they had to beg for help. This battle is decided.

However, there are still concerns.

The king of Shule said, "What if you don't come?" ”

"Five hundred and sixty miles from Shule South to Shache." The Taoist said with a smile: "The king can first garrison the border, and when the combined forces of Shache and the beggar army arrive, it is not too late to pull out the camp." ”

"Very good, so." King Shule finally felt at ease: "As the Shache envoy said, instead of sitting and waiting to be killed, it is better to strike first!" ”

Taiping Daoist smiled and saluted.

That's it.
