From the flower thorn Zimo to the southern Great Xia, the territory in the north of Guishan has become a wasteland, in Dong Zhuo's opinion, at least in twenty years, Guishan has no way to restore this place to its original state, Dong Zhuo never felt that he was a good person, he was much more ruthless than Cao Cao when dealing with enemies, Cao Cao's actions did not scare Dong Zhuo, what made Dong Zhuo feel afraid was Cao Cao's courage.

Without being told and without receiving any orders, they dared to destroy the entire two states, such Cao Cao was enough to make Dong Zhuo frightened, in addition, it was their military exploits, Dong Zhuo couldn't believe that King Guishan, who led the most elite 30,000 soldiers, was wiped out by Sun Jian Cao Cao's more than 4,000 soldiers and horses.

This was a big victory, although Sun Jian's troops paid the price of nearly 3,000 people in this battle, but it was still a big victory, and this victory directly ended this war ahead of schedule.

Sun Jian asked people to bring the corpse of King Guishan and put it in front of Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo got off the horse, looked at it seriously, shook his head and said, "It's a pity, let him die like this..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Cao on the side shook his head and said, "It's not early!" Just in time. ”

"Oh?" Dong Zhuo turned his head sideways and looked at Cao Cao.

Before, he didn't take Cao Cao in his eyes at all, but now, he didn't dare to despise Cao Cao like that, he asked, "What does Meng De mean?" Cao Cao was happy, took off an object from his waist and put it in Dong Zhuo's hand, Dong Zhuo looked at it seriously, this thing was made of gold all over his body, red underneath, and a precious frost word was written, he couldn't understand it, played with it for a while, and asked with some hesitation: "This is?" ”

"Hahaha, this thing is equivalent to the jade seal of the Kushan people, and it is the seal of the Kushan King!" Cao Cao said with a smile.

When everyone heard this, their faces gradually became solemn, Dong Zhuo looked to the side and shouted loudly: "Hua Manzi!" As soon as he finished shouting, a person ran over, this person was Hua Xiong, walked to Dong Zhuo's side, looked directly at Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo ordered: "Lead the soldiers to camp here, collect those fleeing homeless, just take them to Sogdia, and clean up the surrounding battlefield!" ”

"Respectfully!" Hua Xiong replied.

And Dong Zhuo took Sun Jian and Cao Cao to sit down on the spot, Dong Zhuo held the small seal tightly, and his heart was extremely excited, this is the symbol of the throne of Guishan, dedicating this thing to the Son of Heaven, it is equivalent to announcing that he has destroyed the orthodoxy of Guishan, what a merit this is, he will definitely be able to sit on the post of Tai Lieutenant, and even, he will be famous in history and famous through the ages!

Dong Zhuo couldn't help laughing out loud when he thought of this, he looked at Cao Cao on the side again, his eyes were already very kind, without the slightest rejection, he asked with a smile: "This thing, is it really a Guishuang jade seal?" ”

"Naturally, this is what I found from the body of King Guishan, and, Wentai, I haven't told you about this matter, and I hope you can forgive your sins...."Cao Cao said, Sun Jian waved his hand and said, "It's okay, even if you tell me, these things are useless...", Dong Zhuo put the seal in front of his eyes again, looked at it carefully, and said three good words in a row.

"I don't know what Dong Gong is going to do with this royal seal?" Cao Cao asked.

"Naturally, it is dedicated to the Son of Heaven!" Dong Zhuo said without hesitation.

Cao Cao shook his head and said, "No." ”

Dong Zhuo was confused, if he didn't hand it over to the Son of Heaven, would he still have to keep it privately? But what does this thing do?

"What does Mende think?"

"Send this back to the southern Kushan..."

"What!!"

Dong Zhuo and Sun Jian couldn't help but scream and send them back? What is this going to do? Isn't this guy suffering from brain disease? Why did the treasure that was obtained after tens of thousands of casualties be sent back to Guishan?

Cao Cao said unhurriedly: "In the country of Guishan, it has not yet been with the Han Dynasty, the local princes, with a large number of private soldiers, strong strength, before, the King of Guishan was able to suppress them, all because the King of Guishan held tens of thousands of elites in his hands, and now, the King of Guishan is dead, he has no heirs, this is a good thing, within the Guishan, he will definitely dislike the battle for the throne." ”

"At this time, if we send the royal seal to the weakest princes, and then write an edict in the tone of King Kushan, with him as the king, this edict, not just one, we have to write many copies, and deliver it to all the princes, hahaha, the seal symbolizing the throne is in the hands of the weakest princes, which will of course cause the rest of the people to snatch, we have to use some means, this Wendou for the throne can become a martial fight!"

Dong Zhuo frowned, still a little hesitant in his heart, this work of destroying the country, he gave up like this, he was really a little reluctant, he asked cautiously: "We only write the edict, not send the king's seal, how about it?" ”

"Dong Gong... What is the use of this thing with us? With Sogdia, the people of Sogdia will not obey because of this seal, they obey our elite brigades, and send them back to Luoyang, and they can only be used as decorations for the Son of Heaven to play with, but if he is sent out, the internal strife of Kushan will be everywhere, and the national strength will be greatly reduced, and for our great benefit, we can also take this opportunity to take away the right of trade in peace from the hands of Kushan! ”

"We can even support some of the southern princes of Kushan and continue to trade with them, but if we need them to come to Sogdia and trade with us, I think we can use Xinha as a great trading port for foreign trade... This place will definitely develop rapidly, and the future place of governance will definitely be there..."

Dong Zhuo is still a little reluctant, although he understands these truths in his heart, but these are not beneficial to us, this is beneficial to the Han Dynasty, what good is it for me Dong Zhongying?

Cao Cao may have seen what Dong Zhuo was thinking, and he said: "Dong Gong, the Son of Heaven is smart, he must understand everything here, how can the Son of Heaven forget Dong Gong's great achievements?" And this heavy setback to Guishan, when the next expedition comes, it will be the day of Guishan's demise! ”

Dong Zhuo gradually let go of the seal in his hand, nodded, but smiled again, and said, "I don't know if I'm still alive that day?" ”

"That battle, it must be Dong Gong himself in command!"

"Hahahaha!" Dong Zhuo laughed, threw the Wang Seal in his hand to Cao Cao, and said, "Just do what you want..."

After getting Dong Zhuo's luck, Cao Cao was busy with this matter, he first found the edict of the King of Guishan, most of which were found in the king's tent, Cao Cao searched the entire camp, and in the end, there was an unexpected gain, he found a record of the King of Guishan, which recorded how he dealt with the domestic princes, and his appreciation of the Han Dynasty system, Cao Cao read it seriously for a long time.

After reading it, he couldn't help but sigh, this King of Guishan is not mediocre, he is a talented, but unfortunately, he will never be able to realize his ambitions, just to make a move on Sogdia, let the Han involved in this war, this ambitious king, died tragically in the battle, however, his essays are very useful to Cao Cao.

From here, we can clearly see the various situations in the Guishan country, the strength and weakness of the princes, and even the character, the King of Guishan has made a rigorous analysis, Cao Cao wrote six edicts in the tone of the King of Guishan, and then stamped the royal seal of the King of Guishan, and selected six dead soldiers from the army, let them go to deliver the letter as Han envoys, and promised them that after they returned, there would be a heavy reward.

Cao Cao was busy with these, and Dong Zhuo was busy bringing the displaced people back to Sogdia, Sogdia needed a lot of manpower for development, not to mention, this can also be regarded as his military merit, as long as these are prisoners, they did not stay here for too long, just because all the baggage supplies were burned by Cao Cao, they could not get any supplies here, even locally, they could not find supplies.

Dong Zhuo led the men on the attack, and did not bring too much baggage, so only five or six days later, they returned to Sogdia.

Everyone understands that this war is over, although the Kushan side did not propose peace, however, their king has been killed, and most of their soldiers no longer exist, they do not have the strength to counterattack, Cao Cao also knows that in the near future, they will fight against each other, even if they do not fight, they can only accept this humiliation after the national strength is greatly damaged.

This war is the largest since Emperor Xiaokang, the largest cost, the most serious damage to the soldiers, this is the battle between the empire and the empire, even in the face of this empire has fallen, the Han still paid a painful price, the northern and southern armies went out to fight more than 43,000 soldiers, 13,000 killed in the war, more than 8,600 disabled, only half of the casualties.

If it weren't for Cao Cao's strong attack on Guishuang, I am afraid that this number would be even greater.

Of course, the Kushan paid an even more painful price, in addition to the death of the Kushan king, they suffered a total of nearly 60,000 casualties, lost Sogdia, Khorizm, Bactria and other lands, the north completely fell, the standing army was destroyed, they have lost the qualification to compete with the Han Dynasty, and the rest of the peace, completely declined.

The gains of the Han army were also astonishing, and they forcibly seized from the hands of the Kushans, including Sogdians, Huathornzim and other regions, as well as millions of registered people.

The news of the end of the war came from Guishan, to the Western Regions, to Liangzhou, and to Luoyang, and along the way, both officials and ordinary people were cheering, not for the victory of the Han Dynasty, but because of the end of the burden, many people even cried, and most of their relatives were sent to the Western Regions to carry out the transportation of grain and grass to the army.

This war is over after all.

When the news reached the temple, the anger in the hearts of the hundred officials subsided, the most excited was Yuan Shao, he was so excited that he almost cried, during this time, he had a very bad time, the savings of the treasury gradually bottomed out, and many policies were forced to stop, such as Xing Ziang's road construction, Liu Bei's official school, Xun Yu's water conservancy.

This made the officials complain about him repeatedly, and the sin of the emptiness of the treasury fell on his head.

God is pitiful, I, Yuan Benchu, have always been against war!!

Finally, this fateful war ended, Yuan Shao burst into tears, more excited than Dong Zhuo, and for a while, the entire Luoyang began to talk about this war.
