Chapter 77: Saving Qiuzi and Dividing Troops Again Qiuzi Kingdom wants to surrender Liu Bei

While waiting for Huang Zhong and Wang Wei, Hua Xiong led a thousand Yumen Pass guards to Yanqi in a hurry, because Hua Xiong had the responsibility of garrisoning Yumen Pass, so Liu Bei did not transfer troops from Hua Xiong, nor did he notify Hua Xiong of the battle in the Western Regions. After Huang Zhong and Wang Wei returned to Yuanqu City, Liu Bei summoned the generals again, and all the troops in this battle suffered losses, and the losses were quite large.

"This time you have won the three kingdoms of Yanqi, and Mi and Weisu, you have made great contributions, but this war is not over, and there are still countries in the west such as Qiuzi and Gumo that are fighting in our army, so we need to start again after a short rest." Seeing that everyone had arrived, Liu Bei cleared his throat and said.

"I already know the losses of the various armies, at the moment, there are only more than 7,000 left in the Hundred Battles Army, only 6,000 freed slaves left, and less than 12,000 people in the Longxiang Army, but our army has captured nearly 10,000 elite prisoners of war from the enemy, and all of them can be filled into the armies. The tiger and leopard cavalry led by Zhao Yun still has more than 1,600 soldiers, and the soldiers will not be replenished for the time being, and there is still Zhao Yun in command. The Hundred Battles Army selected cavalry from the prisoners of war, reaching 12,500 soldiers, satisfying the establishment of one army, excluding the existing two captains, and then ordering Zheng Xu, Batur and Ai Zezi as captains; The Longxiang army selected soldiers and formed three brigades of cavalry, a full army of infantry soldiers of two brigades, and in addition to the existing two captains, three people were appointed as captains, Reheman, Sabir and Qin Ming; The remaining captives and the 6,000 freed slaves were temporarily led by Wang Wei, and Li Li, Lin Tao, and Aini were the captains to assist Wang Wei, and if they were able in the army, they should be promoted as soon as possible. ”

However, this time, the author Li Li, Qin Ming and other nine people all had some military merits, although they were previously assigned to Huang Zhong's command, but they did not get the corresponding positions, this time Liu Bei promoted these people to lieutenants is a reward that should be given. As for the army led by Wang Wei, Liu Bei did not plan to establish a new army for the time being, and all the existing armies had not yet reached full strength at this time, and Liu Bei did not expect too many prisoners in this campaign, and he would bring it to the end of the campaign after the reorganization of the army.

As for the current generals in various armies, Liu Bei does not plan to promote everyone's official positions for the time being, first giving the full establishment is a reward, and then he will reward a part of the wealth, and at this moment, for Liu Bei, he does not have so many official positions to reward everyone, and he Liu Bei is just a protector of the Western Regions.

As for Huaxiong, Liu Bei has already asked him to lead the army back to Yumen Pass first, as long as he always pays attention to the war in the Western Regions, if necessary, Liu Bei will send messengers.

………………………………

Because it took a lot of time to wait for Huang Zhong and Wang Wei to take over the two countries, some of the killed and scattered generals of the Yanqi State had already rushed to the camp of the Gumo coalition army, and wanted the commander of the coalition army, Chi Xingmi, to report the battle of Yanqi. Chi Xingmi's words were shocked, the entire Yanqi gathered an army of 110,000, but was defeated by Liu Bei's 20,000 or 30,000 people, although most of them were young and strong, but they couldn't be so useless.

But no matter what, since Yanqi has been defeated, the country of Qiuci is in danger, and at the moment either give up the country of Gumo, or give up the country of Qiuci or divide the troops to defend it, for this station, Chi Xingmi is also more and more unoptimistic, if it is not for the fear that Liu Bei will use troops against Wusun after unifying the entire Western Regions, Chi Xingmi wants to lead a group of soldiers to return to Chigu City.

"General, this time, the monarch of my Qiuci country has personally visited the old general Qin of my Qiuci country, and asked the old general to have promised to lead the army to defend Yancheng, but all the soldiers of my Qiuci country have been brought to Gumo by General Bai, and there are not many young people who can be recruited, so I want to ask the general to send reinforcements to garrison Qiuci country." It was the envoy of the monarch of the Qiuzi Kingdom who spoke, and because he was afraid of Liu Bei, he sent a messenger to ask for reinforcements.

Of course, the monarch of the Qiuci Kingdom can already recall the thirty or forty thousand troops of the Qiuci Kingdom stationed in Gumo at the moment, and even then he can't withstand Liu Bei's pressure, so he can only ask for reinforcements at the moment, if the coalition forces are unwilling to send reinforcements, this will definitely find the army of Gumo, and then make another plan.

In the big tent, in addition to Chi Xingmi, there are also the generals of the Gumo Kingdom, as well as the generals of the other two small countries, and the entire coalition army has only a few people from the original military meeting, which is quite deserted.

After weighing it repeatedly, Chi Xingmi decided to send the army of the Qiuci Kingdom and the 50,000 army to the aid of the Qiuci Kingdom, while the 70,000 Wusun Army and the 20,000 Gumo Army remained in the Gumo Kingdom. and repeatedly warned the generals who rushed to the aid of Qiuzi that they should not go out of the city to fight a decisive battle with Liu Bei, and should rely on the danger of the city wall to fight a protracted battle with Liu Bei.

The generals were ordered to go, and after the generals left, only Chi Xingmi was left in the entire big tent, for the result of the battle in the Western Regions, Chi Xingmi could not imagine, and now the only hope is that Dawan can send troops into the Western Regions, so that he can fight with Liu Bei. At this time, Chi Xingmi was thinking more about how to deal with Wusun Kingdom once Liu Bei obtained the Western Regions? Surrender or revolt?

The strength of the Han Dynasty once again penetrated into the heart of this young general, and fighting against the Han Dynasty was far from fighting with these small countries in the Western Regions, it was a real tiger, even if it was asleep, it was a tiger.

For Liu Bei, the key to determining the outcome of this battle is not when to decide, but whether it can force the coalition forces to divide their troops again and again, although it took three more days, but if the country of Qiuzi can come to the coalition to come to reinforcements, Liu Bei is even happier, because he once again prompted the coalition army to divide the troops.

…………………………………

At this time, the reinforcements sent by the coalition army were already on the march, and the envoy of the Qiuci country rushed to the country in advance to meet the monarch of the Qiuci country.

"Your Majesty, General Chi Xingmi, the commander of the coalition army, sent 50,000 reinforcements to aid my Qiuzi country, and it is expected that he will be able to arrive in Yancheng tomorrow evening, and General Chi Xingmi asked Weichen to bring a message to the king and the old general---- and Liu Bei can only defend against the wall, not outside the city."

Hearing this, the monarch of the Qiuzi Kingdom was overjoyed, and even asked the old general Qin: "Old general, is 50,000 troops enough to defend Yancheng?" If it is really not enough, is it recruiting some young people? ”

"Your Majesty, can you hold back from the left and right, the old minister has something important to report!" Old General Qin glanced at the ministers around him, and then said slowly.

The monarch of Qiuzi Kingdom thought about it, and left the old general Qin alone.

"Your Majesty, I don't know which of the 50,000 army is stronger or weaker than the 110,000 army of the Yanqi Kingdom?" Old General Qin was the first to speak.

"Naturally, the 110,000 army of Yanqi is strong." The problem is obvious.

"Then what does the king think, how does my Qin someone compare with Bai Qing, Chi Xingmi and others?"

"Please, the old general is naturally stronger than any of them." Although this is a sycophant, it is not much different.

"But how can it compare with all the generals of all the nations?"

"It's... This...", but the monarch of the country of Qiuzi would be able to answer for a while.

"What does the old general mean?" After thinking about it, the monarch of the country of Qiuzi took the initiative to ask.

"Your Majesty, I don't know if the king knows where the monarchs of the Yanqi Kingdom and the Elite Kingdom are at the moment?" The old general did not answer the monarch of the country of Qiuzi, but asked again.

"As far as I know, they were all killed after Liu Bei was captured, and they were killed in front of the monarch of this other country." These monarchs of the Qiuci Kingdom still understand, and it is precisely because of this that the Qiuci Kingdom will actively resist, but they are also afraid of being clicked by Liu Bei.

"What about the kings of Shanshan, Humi, Khotan, and other countries?" The old general continued to ask.

"It is said that he became Liu Bei's minions to rule the Western Regions and became the county guard."

That is, the kings of these countries are still alive. Can't the king see the difference? The old general continued.

"Your Majesty, since the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the entire Western Regions has been subservient to the Han Dynasty and accepted the rule of the Han Dynasty. And this is the capital of the Western Regions to protect Liu Bei, all those who resist the Han to the end are the heads, and those who obey the Han are all divided into official positions, although there is no name of the country, but they have the power of the country, why does the king turn a blind eye? ”

"The old general means to let me surrender, but after surrendering, there will be no more Qiuci Country, at most there will be one Qiuci County!" The monarch was quite unwilling.

"Your Majesty, since the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, when have there been several disruptions in the Western Regions? When the Central Plains of the Han Dynasty was in civil strife, as long as the king was there, the royal family would wait until the civil strife in the Central Plains of the Han Dynasty, and the king's descendants would still be able to rebuild Qiuzi. The old general said earnestly.

"But if Liu Bei is angry with me this time and wants to kill my royal family, what will happen?" The monarch was still worried.

"Your Majesty, if the king is willing, the ministers are willing to vouch for the head of the king, and the royal family will be safe." Seeing that his monarch had already relented, General Qin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, as long as he could wrap up the inheritance of the Qiuci Kingdom, he would have the opportunity to build the Qiuci Kingdom again in the future. Although the old general was reluctant in his heart, the army of Qiuci led by Bai Qing before was all good sons of Qiuci, and Liu Bei had the Han as the backing, and the Han was strong at this time, so he could not be an enemy of it.

"Since the old general is completely sure, I wonder if the old general is willing to talk to the widow first?"

"First of all, this reinforcement must be based on our Qiuzi army as the main force, assisting more than 10,000 troops from other countries, and when the reinforcements arrive in Yancheng, we can plan to tie up the reinforcements of other countries and hand them over to Liu Bei at that time."

"Secondly, when Liu Bei arrives in Yancheng, my Qiuci country will not surrender without a fight, Qin will fight with Liu Bei, and then strive for some benefits for Qiuci and the king."

"In the end, I will offer advice to Liu Bei and surprise Gumo. With these three steps, Liu Bei will definitely agree to the king's request. ”

"In this case, everything is left to the old general to decide, this is my token, except for the royal family, everyone in the other Qiuzi countries will listen to the old general's orders."

Hearing this, the old general took the token, and then slowly retreated, and then led the army to impose martial law in the whole city, and could only enter but not leave.
