Chapter 73 Liu Xuande continues to advance eastward, Huang Han ascends to Shanshan

When everyone gathered together, Liu Bei found that this period of time was really a lot of gains, not to mention how many Wusun people were killed, for a nomadic people, in its country, if you want to escape, it is really difficult to kill them all with Zhao Yun's heavy cavalry, tiger and leopard cavalry.

But at this time, in addition to more than 1,800 tigers and leopards, there were actually nearly 8,000 slave troops, although there were nearly 4,000 slave troops that were not so murderous, but they were also quite strong, and there were nearly 5,000 women and children following Zhao Yun. At the same time, there are nearly 10,000 war horses!

After resting for a night, Liu Bei and his party set off to the east again, fortunately, this place is not far from Yanqi Kingdom, and they can be reached in a day and night on a fast horse!

At this time, Chi Xingmi was also trembling in the royal palace in Chigu City in Wusun Kingdom.

The monarch of Wusun Kingdom was furious again, and the entire army of 100,000 suffered more than 30,000 casualties in just one month! What is odious is that during this time, the losses of the various tribes in Wusun Kingdom that were attacked by Liu Bei have been counted!

Among them, four tribes were exterminated, seven tribes were defeated by attacks, a total of 120,000 people were killed, and 20,000 slaves were rescued at the same time!

As for the losses of horses, cattle and sheep, and property, there are countless losses, and after this battle, Wusun Guo can be said to have suffered a great injury, with casualties as high as 20%!

Moreover, even so, it was not until the end that it was discovered that Liu Bei's army in Wusun was as high as 20,000!

And at this time, I got accurate information, Liu Bei and his party, a total of 20,000 troops and 10,000 slaves, have been marching eastward, wanting to enter the territory of Yanqi and attack Yanqi from behind Yanqi!

Moreover, Chi Xingmi has also been unable to catch up, although he is trembling, but Chi Xingmi still suggested: "Your Majesty, since Liu Bei is preparing to enter Yanqi, there will be great changes in the front line of Yanqi and Qiuzi Kingdom, we should support the coalition army as soon as possible, hold Yanqi, and then seek an opportunity to fight with Liu Bei, otherwise, the Western Regions will no longer have the opportunity for us to intervene, and more importantly, we will always be under Liu Bei's blade, at the moment, the Northern Xiongnu are strong in no way, although they have an alliance with Wusun, but they can't support Wusun Tairight!" If the lips die, the teeth are cold, and I hope that the king will be clear! ”

This is a good statement, but the monarch of Wusun hesitated, not because he didn't understand this truth, but because the country is currently complaining, and the resistance to continuing to send troops is quite large! Moreover, the ministers have exhorted and asked to form an alliance with the Han Dynasty again and submit to the Han Dynasty in order to pray for the continuation of the national ancestor!

So, he didn't directly agree to Chi Xingmi's request, but lightly responded, I care early tomorrow morning, and all the civil and military officials will be there, so I can discuss a charter!

…………………………………………………………

Shanshan County, Shanshan City, during this time, Huang Zhong often stared at the sky in the west, such a big battle, he was not able to participate in it, which has to be said to be a pity, and he can only be stationed in Shanshan County to guard against Yanqi!

However, all this was completely improved five days ago, Liu Bei's scouts came to Shanshan City, and conveyed Liu Bei's order, asking Huang Zhong to find troops to leave Shanshan County, attack Yanqi State, and attract the attention of Yanqi State, so that Liu Bei could surprise Yanqi from the rear of Yanqi State!

What made Huang Zhong even more excited was that his lord Liu Bei was so bold that he directly led 12,000 cavalry into the country of Wusun, following Huo Qu's illness and making a thousand-mile raid!

And the day before yesterday, the messenger from Shule County told Huang Zhong the information about the two battles of Xu Huang's burning of the joint camp and Jia Xu's reburning of the coalition army, and Huang Zhong was completely excited!

Combined with the news in Liu Bei's order, as well as the information fed back by the scouts, today, Huang Zhong gathered all 16,000 troops, and then left only 1,000 foot soldiers to defend Shanshan County, and then led the rest of the 15,000 troops out of Shanshan County.

In the end, Huang Zhong finally participated in this battle, and it will become an important part of it!

In just two days, Huang Zhong arrived outside Yuanqu City, set up a position outside the city, and kept shouting and scolding outside the city.

And all the defenders of Yanqi State can't hold out, although Shanshan has 50,000 defenders, but the real good fighters are only 20,000, and the rest are recruited young and strong, how can they have the ability to go out of the city to fight!

However, with these 50,000 troops defending the city, Huang Zhong can't easily attack the city!

In such a confrontation, Huang Zhong would organize one or two attacks every day, but they were all symbolic attacks, and they were all retreated under the pressure of arrows before they reached the city wall, but each attack would be stronger than the previous attack, and more soldiers would be invested, and later, Huang Zhong would even personally lead the army to attack the city!

…………………………………………………………

When Huang Zhong arrived outside Yuanqu City, the defenders in the city sent scouts to deliver the entire news to the Western Alliance camp as quickly as possible, and actively defended, and at the same time extracted 8,000 troops from each of the other two cities to replenish Daoyuanqu City.

…………………………………………………………

On the second day of Huang Zhong's troops, in Wusun, Chi Xingmi finally got the opportunity to go out again through continuous explanations and promises.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, he rushed directly to the camp to prepare for the expedition, and decided to set out on the third day, and this expedition was to complete the establishment of 50,000 troops!

Early in the morning of the third day, Chi Xingmi set off again with an army of 50,000 and headed for Gumo Kingdom.

…………………………………………

On the second day of Huang Zhong's arrival in Yuanqu City, that is, the day of Chi Xingmi's expedition, Liu Bei finally arrived at the border of Yanqi, and the scouts sent earlier reported all the information of Yanqi to Liu Bei.

In combination with the information of Liu Bei's previous life, the Yanqi Kingdom, in the south of Cheshi, Duyuanqucheng, seventy miles south of Baishan, and the old country of the Han Dynasty. Go to the generation of 120,000 miles. Its king's surname is Long, and his name is the corpse of the dove, which is the Yin of Long Xi who was asked for by the former Liang Zhang Rail. The capital city is two miles away, and there are nine cities in the country. The country is small and poor, and there is no discipline and law. The soldiers have bows, swords, and armours. Marriage is slightly the same as that of China. The dead are burned and buried, and they are removed after seven days. The husband and cut his hair for jewelry. The text is the same as that of Brahmin. He is a god of secular affairs and believes in Buddhism. In particular, February 8 and April 8 are the same days, and the country is in accordance with the Buddha's teachings, fasting and practicing the Tao. The climate is cold, the soil is fertile, the grain has rice, millet, wheat, and camels. Silkworm raising is not silk, but abandons silk. Vulgar and popular wine, and love music. Go south to the sea for more than ten miles, there are fish, salt, and reeds. 900 miles east to Gaochang; Nine hundred miles to the west of Qiuzi, all of them are moraines; 2,200 miles southeast to Guazhou.

However, although there are ninety percent of Yanqi, they are all small cities, and the two cities on the periphery were previously stationed in separate troops, but Huang Zhong withdrew eighty percent of the defenders after Yan Qiyuan Qucheng.

When Liu Bei got the news, he was overjoyed, although he sent Wang Wei to lead an army of 8,000 slaves to attack Weili; At the same time, Lu Bu sent 10,000 generals and hundreds of soldiers to surrender and Gu; And Liu Beizi and Zhao Yun were stationed and waiting.

Wang Wei and Lu Bu did not rest, and set off with their army.

However, in the middle of the day, Wang Wei and Lu Bu sent scouts to report that they had taken Hegu and Yuli, and after arranging the garrison generals, they led the army to take the other two small cities in the north of Yanqi.

Seeing this, Liu Bei smiled slightly, and then led Zhao Yun and the tiger and leopard to ride directly down, but he was ready to join Wang Wei and Lu Bu.

At this time, the northern cities of Yanqi Kingdom were in an uproar, and they actually killed a biao cavalry from the ally Wusun Kingdom, and quickly took forty percent, and quickly reported the news to Yanqi City, the national capital.

Liu Bei traveled all the way, entered the four cities he had just taken, and selected four pro-Han county commanders in each city, and then took away all the defenders left by Lu Bu and Wang Wei, and at the same time placed all the rescued women and children properly.

At this time, Liu Bei was not in a hurry, so he led the 20,000 troops to rest for a night, and then early the next morning, there was a mighty departure, like Yanqicheng, the capital of Yanqi State.

On the same day, Chi Xingmi also led the army to set off. The monarch of Yanqi had sent a messenger to the camp of the Gumo coalition army as early as late the night before, stating that Liu Bei had crossed the border of Wusun and was under the city of Yanqi. And asked Long Zhan to return to the army as soon as possible to support.
