Chapter 360: Ruthless
The country is a beautiful country, the capital of the country, 8,820 miles away from Chang'an, the terrain is closed, easy to defend and difficult to attack. According to the records of later generations, the Elite Kingdom is not large, and it is not enough to see at all.
Essence City, located in the southern part of the present-day Taklamakan Desert, however, when Huo Yu received the information transmitted by the Dark Feather Guard, he was slightly surprised.
"It's... This... How could the queen be in power? After reading the information, Jia Xu also sighed incredibly.
"It is rumored that the Queen of the Essence is extremely charming!" Huo Yu said as he got up.
A month ago, Huo Yu built two Jingguan under Guzang City, which made the people of the 36 countries of the Western Regions in fear. After subduing the Ma family's father and son, the Youzhou army fled with all their might. Now there are only more than 10,000 remnants of the Xiongnu army left, plus thousands of people from Loulan, heading towards the direction of the Elite Kingdom.
After learning that his army had been wiped out, the King of Perfection was furious, and despite the persuasion of the Queen of Perfection, he raised 5,000 soldiers and horses from all over the country to the army of Youzhou.
"Where is the army of the Peerless Nation now?" Huo Yu, who walked to the front of the map, asked.
"It's only three days away from our army!" Jia Xu replied indifferently.
"Order the whole army to rest and recuperate by relying on the water source!" Huo Yu ordered.
After the battle of Guzangcheng, the Ma family father and son surrendered, and the original army of 80,000 became more than 120,000, so Huo Yu accepted Jia Xu's suggestion and divided the army into five routes, each with 20,000 soldiers and horses, and divided the troops to sweep the countries of the Western Regions.
The first route was led by Zhao Yun and Ma Chao, the second route was led by Zhang Fei, the third route was led by Zhang Xiu, the fourth route was led by Gao Shun, and the fifth route was led by Huo Yu himself with 20,000 troops towards the Elite Country.
Along the way, the army passed through deserts and water sources were scarce. Fortunately, Huo Yu was well prepared, and before leaving the Yumen Pass, he found a Han man who was doing business in ordinary years as a guide, so that the 20,000 army was unhindered all the way.
Where the army passed, first broke Loulan, slaughtered more than 8,000, the entire Loulan was almost slaughtered, and the survivors were all regarded as slaves and escorted to Dunhuang County for custody.
After that, the end of the country, Xiaowan and other countries surrendered, but for these small countries that took the initiative to surrender, Huo Yu still did not relent, and the blood flowed everywhere he passed.
The phrase "those who commit the great Han Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away" spread rapidly in the Western Regions, and at the same time, the murderous reputation of Huo Yu and his generals was also circulated.
Huo Yu came from later generations, and the policy of national autonomy is only suitable for future generations, and in this era, this can only protect the peace of one party by taking iron-blooded means.
If the Han people want to control the Western Regions, they must implement an iron-blooded policy, and what Huo Yu wants is nothing more than unification, whether it is the Central Plains, the Western Regions or further away, they must be controlled by the Han people. Even if you bear the reputation and infamy for this, you will not hesitate to do so.
Jia Xu prides himself on being ruthless, but after seeing Huo Yu's iron blood, he has become more and more in awe of his lord, and there is also a chill in this awe.
"Mr. Wenhe, if this is not the case, the countries of the Western Regions can only submit for a while, and if the Han people are weak in the future, they will definitely mess with our race. For the sake of future generations, Ben Hou had to make such a ruthless move! Perhaps sensing the slightest change in Jia Xu's heart, Huo Yu comforted him so much.
"The lord is wise! The lord can't think about it! After a long time, Jia Xu said slowly.
Huo Yu smiled slightly and said no more, what would happen if such a killing thing was transmitted to the Central Plains, but as long as he got the understanding of his subordinates, Huo Yu would be content.
In fact, from Jia Xu's point of view, he wanted to persuade Huo Yu, after all, Jia Xu had never experienced such a large-scale massacre. It's just that due to the change in Huo Yu's aura, Jia Xu didn't say much.
Jia Xu, who is good at saving his life, knows that Huo Yu has already planned for this matter, so since then, Jia Xu has been much more cautious when facing Huo Yu.
Judging from Huo Yu's consistent style of dealing with foreign races, the countries of the Western Regions must be in a catastrophe this time. In the depths of Huo Yu's heart, the five chaos were chaotic, Mongolia was moving south, and the Qing army was always vigilant when they entered the customs.
At the beginning, it was because of the advocacy of benevolence and righteousness, supplemented by education, that there was a five-hundred-legged chaos, and the Han people in the Central Plains were reduced to the rations of foreign races.
At that time, the Han people were almost killed in the South Central Plains, and the Han people at that time had no status at all. After that, the Mongol army went south to the Central Plains and slaughtered countless cities.
The Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs "Jiading Three Massacres, Yangzhou Ten Days", and even issued a shaving order of "keeping your head without hair, leaving your hair without leaving your head". Why did Japan look down on China in later generations, many people said that it was because Japan was not taught a hard lesson by China.
In fact, many people don't know that in Japanese history, it is recorded that "there is no China after Yashan!" The words. Every time he thought of this, Huo Yu's body would exude a powerful murderous aura, and even Dian Wei, who had been following Huo Yu's side, was terrified.
"The master once warned you not to create too many evils."
"However, for the sake of future generations, Benhou has no choice but to do it! Ben Hou's hands are already stained with the blood of foreign races, what good is it to have more or less? ”
"Humph! For the sake of the reproduction of the race, for the sake of future generations, what about carrying monstrous infamy? If there is really a punishment from God, Benhou will bear it alone! ”
"If Benhou doesn't go to hell, who will go to hell?"
Listening to the murderous words, Jia Xu involuntarily looked towards Huo Yu, this kind of emperor-like arrogance made Jia Xu deeply impressed.
At this time, Jia Xu was a little overwhelmed with excitement, silently bowed to Huo Yu, and began to think about the battle in front of him.
"Report! The Han army has withdrawn eastward! “
Just as the King of Perfection, Tuhun Bangyan and Helian Bowen, were discussing how to deal with the Han army, a Hun scout hurriedly entered the big tent to report.
"What? Can it be detected? Helian Bowen asked suspiciously.
"General, the Han army did retreat eastward, and it was in a hurry, as if something big had happened!"
"Oh?" This time it was Tuhun Kunihiko's turn to be surprised.
The two were surprised, but they still didn't dare to pursue rashly, after all, their own forces were not superior, and in addition, in the first battle of Guzang, the allied army was killed and abandoned their armor, and the battle of Loulan, the fierceness of the Han army had long been imprinted in their hearts.
"The Han people are cunning, probe again!" The two pondered for a long time and decided to send scouts again.
"General Helian, how are the Loulan people?" Tuhun Kunihiko suddenly looked at Helian Bowen and asked.
"Humph! What else, the country of Loulan was almost slaughtered by the Han army, and this group of Loulan people has long been timid! Helian Bowen scolded angrily.
After listening to Helian Bowen's words, Tuhun Bangyan's eyes rolled wildly, and he didn't know what the hell he was thinking, but for now, he still had to find out the subtlety of the situation of the Han army.
"My lord, why are you so withdrawn? The Jingjue, Xiongnu, and Loulan coalition forces did not dare to strike a blow, so why did they retreat without a fight? "Along the way, I saw that the Han army discarded the grain and grass, and in this way, the 20,000 army would inevitably die, and Dian Wei couldn't hold back his mouth.
"Hehe, according to the news of the Dark Feather Guard, the Elite City is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It's easy to defeat the three coalition forces, but if you let the coalition flee into the Absolute City, it will be more than worth the loss! Huo Yu said with a smile.
Hearing this, Dian Wei suddenly realized that the Youzhou army almost did not bring siege equipment to the expedition, and Loulan still relied on Gao Shun's trap camp, and now Gao Shun led the troops far away and relied on cavalry to attack the city, which was really the next policy.
