In the fourth year of Guangxi, in June, the Han Dynasty conquered the western general Fude, held the festival, led 30,000 cavalry, and was ordered to go to the Western Regions.

The army was mighty, divided into two ways to attack, one was the main force, led by Fu De, a total of 25,000 horsemen, straight out of the Yumen Pass, attacking the most feared enemy of the Han army, absconding outside the territory of Han Sui's department.

The other way is the partial division, with the newly appointed Pingxi Zhonglang general Dong Zhuo, Wuji Captain Cao Cao and other generals, out of Yangguan, responsible for the main crusade against Han Sui, monitoring and responding to the rebellion of the Western Regions such as Jiao, Shanshan, Shule and other Han countries, if they have the intention of uniting with Han Sui and resisting the Han Dynasty, they must be dragged back, and the main army should attack Han Sui, until the main army destroys Han Sui and rushes to rendezvous.

Although the countries of the Western Regions are enemies of Han Sui who led troops to attack the Western Regions at this time, it does not mean that they will always have enmity with Han Sui, the so-called enemy of the enemy is a friend, so that the rebellious countries in the Western Regions understand that no matter how powerful Han Sui is, that is, to occupy a corner of the Western Regions, it is a big deal to become a country of its own, but the Han Dynasty is different, the Han army kills, it is possible for the country to be killed, and they cannot help but unite with Han Sui.

The current situation, I am afraid that the Han army took the initiative to publicize that the Han Dynasty was just a thief to please Han Sui, and established diplomatic relations with the countries of the Western Regions again, and had no intention of conquering, I am afraid that these countries in the Western Regions will not believe it.

The reason is very simple, after all, the current military chief of the Great Han Kingdom is the "dragon" Fuquan, who is famous outside the territory, addicted to killing prisoners, and destroying the country and slaughtering the people.

There is such a person with a serious record of foreign wars in power, and many of the Han troops who went to the Western Regions this time are elite veterans under the jurisdiction of Fuquan, of course, there is no reason for the countries of the Western Regions to panic.

Therefore, for them, only by uniting all the forces and expelling the most powerful and terrible Han army can it be possible for them to fight for the division of the Western Regions. If they were still fighting among themselves, it would undoubtedly give the Han army a chance to do so, and only a stupid person would do that.

Obviously, the countries of the Western Regions that can force the Han to give up the Western Regions with a small force are not stupid, and they will know what they will do with a little thought.

What's more, even the countries of the Western Regions are stupid, but the old fox Han Sui is not stupid, Fu Quan is sure that once Han Sui knows that the Han army is out of the fortress and is coming for him, he will definitely take the initiative to reconcile with the countries of the Western Regions, and even cede land and pay compensation.

After all, Han Sui was not sure about dealing with the Han Dynasty, but he could deal with the countries of the Western Regions, so he was full of confidence, even if he ceded the land and paid compensation, as long as he defeated the Han Dynasty army, so that the Han Dynasty did not have the heart to attack the Western Regions again, Han Sui was still sure to fight against the countries of the Western Regions.

The reason for this is naturally that the current Han Dynasty, under the control of Fuquan, has become too powerful, and as for whether Han Sui will surrender to the Han Dynasty, there is little hope for the time being. Looking at what he did in real history, Fu Quan knew that for this careerist, unless things were a last resort, he would never regress by half a point.

It is also in consideration of these, after Fu Quan learned about the situation in the Western Regions before the war, he discussed them with the strategists one by one, and finally decided on the strategy of attacking from these two ways, as for how to attack, that is the tactical ability of the generals of each department, he started in the military, he knows what should be grasped, what should be let go, with the current era of no instant communication, when the power should be delegated, it must be delegated without hesitation.

Yumen Pass, began to be placed in the former Han Dynasty Shizong Xiaowu Emperor opened the road to the Western Regions, set up the four counties of Hexi, because the Western Regions imported jade when taking the road here and got the name, in Hexi "four counties, according to two passes", Yumen Pass, Yangguan is these two passes.

Because it is the gateway to all parts of the Western Regions, in order to consolidate the national defense of the border fortress, the Great Wall between Jiuquan and Yumen was built, and the Yumen Pass was set up accordingly, and at the same time, it was the former Han Yumen Pass Governor's Office.

Yangguan, named Yangguan because it is located in the south of Yumen Pass, it was built in the Yuan Ding period of Emperor Xiaowu of the former Han Dynasty, and it was the seat of Yangguan in the former Han Dynasty.

As an important pass of the Han Dynasty to defend against the invasion of the northwest nomads, it is an important gateway of the Central Plains to the Western Regions and Central Asia on the Silk Road, and an important pass of the South Silk Road.

Yangguan relies on the water as the pass, according to the Sichuan when the danger, occupies the dangerous terrain of "one husband is the pass, ten thousand people do not open", and echoes with the north and south of Yumen Pass, so it has always been a strategic place that the ancient soldiers must fight for in the northwest region.

Yumen Pass and Yangguan, one south and one north, are located in Longle County, Dunhuang County, all of which are the governor's place and are important places for soldiers. At this time, the Central Plains and the Western Regions traffic, all take the two passes, they are the main military center and post station of the Dunhuang section of the Silk Road, it is an important gateway to the Western Regions and even Eurasia, a military pass and the Silk Road traffic artery, out of Dunhuang County must go through one of the two passes.

At the beginning of June, Fu De led 25,000 elite horsemen and more than 70,000 war horses, hundreds of miles out of Yumen Pass, and encountered the first group of scouts with dozens of people.

Looking at what he was wearing, although there were some clothes and ornaments of the Hu tribe in the Western Regions, there was no doubt that he was a Han person, and he ordered the pioneer Ma Chao to lead a hundred people to fight, capture three people, and the rest died.

After careful torture in batches, the Han army learned that after Han Sui knew that the Han army was out of the fortress, he repaired the book to the countries of the Western Regions to ask for help on the one hand, and on the other hand, he integrated the soldiers and horses to fight a decisive battle with the Han army.

The specific strength of Han Sui's army was also detected, and it probably had more than 20,000 cavalry, 40,000 foot soldiers, and 70,000 contracts, all of which were Han and Hu miscellaneous troops.

After learning about Han Sui's current strength, he was shocked by the generals who heard it, it was really Han Sui, who could only flee with about 10,000 soldiers and horses, and he had only been in the Western Regions for a few years, and he had his current strength, which was several times more than that after he escaped.

Of course, some people present were not surprised by the comparison, after all, Han Sui's strength on paper is like this, but the real strength is only 20,000 or 30,000 elites at most, and there will be no more.

The reason why Han Sui's strength has increased so much is also very simple, after he entered the Western Regions, he implemented the brutal method of not surrendering and killing, and won a lot of territory in the two kingdoms of Yizhi and Cheshi at once.

These two countries are not very powerful countries in the Western Regions, among which the Cheshi was not isolated in the Western Regions, but because of his weak strength, he wandered between the Han Dynasty and the Western Regions.

The strength of the two countries is weak, and compared with Han Sui, the border elites who fled from Liangzhou, they are naturally invincible, and it is certainly not impossible to be eaten up by Han Sui in the early stage.

Then Han Sui had a territory and expanded everywhere, but this guy was very scheming and didn't fight with those big countries in the Western Regions, but just kept annexing small countries.

Originally, those small countries in the Western Regions also asked for help from other big countries, but the big countries in the Western Regions didn't pay attention to it, after all, although the countries in the Western Regions rebelled against the Han Dynasty, they were all scattered inside.

After seeing that only Han Sui, a small Han fugitive army, came to the Western Regions, they didn't care about the help of those small countries in the Western Regions at all, after all, they were only afraid of the Han Dynasty, and those small countries in the Western Regions were also the objects they secretly wanted to annex.

Therefore, when Han Sui attacked those small countries, such as Yu Yao, Shanshan, Shule and other large countries in the Western Regions, they not only ignored the small countries' requests for help, but also brazenly sent troops to annex the territory of those small countries when they could take advantage.

It is precisely because of this that Han Sui took advantage of the delicate relationship between the large and small countries in the Western Regions to constantly seek benefits for himself, and after getting more land and population, he continued to recruit troops, build ordnance, and even lack of ordnance, and secretly arranged the secret line of the so-called smuggling family in Liangzhou through Fuquan, exchanging the treasures of the Western Regions for the armaments of the Han Dynasty, which has today's strength.

And the great powers of the Western Regions also paid the price for their greed and indifference, and after having strength, Han Sui finally exposed his ambitions, and led his troops to attack the great powers of the Western Regions one after another, and won more and lost less, and his strength and territory continued to expand.

Among them, Fuquan secretly played a great role in Han Sui's ordnance, and in today's era, those who dare to compare their ordnance with the Great Han are probably not comparable to anyone else.

Of course, Fu Quan's acquiescence was naturally not to raise tigers and let Han Sui dominate, he did this to let Han Sui and the countries of the Western Regions consume, so as to prepare for the Han army's conquest of the Western Regions in the future and reduce the resistance of the local resistance in the Western Regions.

It is precisely because of this that Fuquan has always forbidden things such as strong crossbows to enter the Western Regions, just to give help in terms of swords and arrows, anyway, there are many arsenals in the northwest, and it is more than enough to replace Han Sui with hundreds of thousands of people, not to mention tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

Moreover, if he could use the surplus inventory of the Han army to exchange for treasures and goods in the Western Regions to make up for the use of the treasury, Fu Quan felt that he had made money. However, these things naturally can't be passed on, and those who know about this matter, except for the officials who handle Fuquan's cronies, only the emperor and the queen mother know.

As for why he told the two of them, with the permission of the two, it was natural that Fu Quan didn't want to leave a handle, if someone knew about this and accused him of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, wouldn't that cause a commotion? No, this will also be the main basis for his downfall.

After understanding the main strength of Han Sui, the Han army traveled all the way west, during which they encountered several Korean troops, although they were hunted and killed one by one, but finally let a few people escape, so that the Korean army knew the news, and the two armies finally met in a clearing under the Tianshan Mountain in the Western Regions.

Due to the fact that the Han army set up a village to defend it, and the Han army came from afar, the Zhou division was tired, so Fu De set up a village fifty miles away from the Korean army, and after the sergeants rested, they fought against the enemy.

Han Sui didn't know if he was rising in the Western Regions, his temperament was rampant, or he went crazy, so he took the initiative to write a war letter and agreed to fight a decisive battle in three days.

Three days later, in the early hours of the morning, before dawn, only a glimmer of white light could be seen in the dark night, and Zhang Liao, who led the troops to camp on the westernmost side of the Han army, had already gotten up.

After waiting for three days, the big battle is finally coming, Zhang Liao is overjoyed in his heart, in fact, his sleep time is only two and a half hours.

It's just that Zhang Liao not only did not feel tired, but he was full of energy, and he felt that he was enough to kill a tiger.

At this moment, Zhang Liao's identity is Sima of other departments under the command of General Zhengxi, in charge of a thousand horses, this time, he is with Gao Shun, one of the few soldiers who were transferred by Fuquan and Zhou, that is, the original general Lu Bu, who is still because of the previous political black history, was Fuquan An continued to be the captain of Liaodong in Youzhou, and it is difficult to make an inch.

Although it is said that the commander of the subordinate state of Liaodong is also a member of the 2,000 stones, since the Han Dynasty drove out the four Yi outside under Fuquan and pacified the civil strife inside, it is difficult to have a war in the border area of Youzhou.

And Lu Bu was arranged in Youzhou, no matter how strong he is, if there is no war, it will be useless in the end, and if there is no success, it will naturally be difficult to make progress.

In Zhang Liao's view, I'm afraid this is the so-called obviously seems to reuse you, but in fact, it is to let you sit on the cold bench to death, as for the reason, everyone knows that it was not Lu Bu and Ding Yuan back then, who first helped He Jin, and then after He Jin's death, he took the initiative to lead troops to surround Mengjin, this kind of political record, now it is all Fuquan's mercy to let him continue to be a big man, unless he is angry and lets him go, otherwise it will be difficult for him to have a chance to go to the next level for the rest of his life.

Of course, Lu Bu can continue to be a military general, but Ding Yuan is bad, when Ding Yuan was transferred to the capital by Fuquan in the name of the Son of Heaven with an edict, and was transferred to the Jiuqing Shaofu, less than half a year, he was dismissed by the imperial court in the name of disaster and returned home.

Since then, this history of the Bingzhou Assassin, who has also made a lot of achievements in the northern Xinjiang of the Han Dynasty, seems to have been forgotten by the imperial court, and has not been recovered, and in the court, the clear-eyed people know why, except for a few party members who occasionally recommend him in the court, no one dares to mention him, it can be said that Ding Yuan is abolished in this life.

However, because Ding Yuan and Lu Bu were the masterminds, they were afraid of Fuquan, but Zhang Liao was very lucky, although he also participated in the affairs of Ding Yuan and Lu Bu back then, but after all, he was loyal to the king.

Therefore, Fuquan did not hold a grudge because of his participation in the year, and this time he went to the Western Regions, especially transferred him and Gao Shun, who had several generals in these two states, and went to the Western Regions.

In contrast, Zhang Liao was very grateful, especially Fu Quan's appointment of him as a Sima, which made him even more grateful. Although Sima's position is a demotion compared to his previous position, don't forget that this is in the Western Expeditionary Army, the Western Expeditionary Army has a total of only 30,000 people, and Zhang Liao is in charge of 1,000 soldiers, which is not a small number.

After all, in this expedition to the west, although Fuquan did not arrange Guan Yu and Huang Zhong to participate in the famous generals of the imperial court, but also from the generals in the world, promoted a lot of talents, Zhang Liao can become Sima from so many people, which shows that Fuquan values it, yes, Zhang Liao also loves Fuquan, and the great life is the heart of death for the confidant.

As for Ding Yuan and Lu Bu, who were promoted by Fuquan in the past, they treated him like this, but Zhang Liao did not hold a grudge, after all, for him, he was loyal to the king's affairs and his own responsibility.

If Fuquan had entered Luoyang early in that year, and Zhang Liao thought about it, once the little emperor Liu Chong achieved great righteousness at that time, I am afraid that outside Mengjin Port, he Zhang Wenyuan would be the first to lead his troops to kill the national thieves Ding Yuan and Lu Bu, even if the two promoted him.

After all, for the general, there is only loyalty, not for the individual, but for the Han.
