Chapter 368: The eldest lady of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate
In the desert between the provinces of Huhesa and Lisakos in the jurisdiction of the Eastern Governorate of Gaochang State, a tragic battle had just ended, and at this time, the desert was covered with the corpses of soldiers on both sides of the war. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The province of Hohesa was the westernmost province within the jurisdiction of the Eastern Governor of Gaochang State, while the province of Lisakos was to the north of the province of Hohesa.
Nangong Jing, the commander of the Dongfan Protector Army, looked at the tragic battlefield, his face was gloomy, although the Protector Army repelled a Gaochang army with a strength of about 50,000 people, and the number of people killed exceeded 30,000, but the Protector Army itself also lost nearly 10,000 people, and on the way back to his homeland, after repeated bloody battles with the Gaochang Army, the entire Protector Army has lost almost 70,000 people.
"Young Patriarch, we have also captured thousands of Gaochang prisoners of war in this battle, are they still handled according to the previous method?" Nangong Jing, a captain of the Protector Army, asked Nangong Jing in a deep voice.
Nangong Jing is the eldest son of the current patriarch of the Dongfan tribe, and was originally a commander of the Gaochang army, but now he is the supreme commander of the entire Dongfan army.
Nangong Jing hesitated for a moment and said: "Our entire Dongfan clan is being surrounded and intercepted by the army of Gaochang Kingdom, and we don't have the energy to take prisoners at all, so let's kill them all as before!" No matter how merciful we are to the Gaochang people, the Gaochang people will not let us go! ”
The captain of the Protector nodded, and went to carry out the order to kill the prisoners.
Then Nangong Jing turned his head and said to another captain of the Protector Army: "Shangguanqiu, immediately send someone to inform my father, let the old and weak women and children in the clan speed up the convergence with the main force of our Protector Army, we can't stay here for too long, and at the same time let the soldiers hurry up and clean up the battlefield." ”
The names of the Dongfan people are basically the same as those of the Jin people, but the Dongfan people have more compound surnames.
At this time, a woman wearing a veil next to Nangong Jing said: "General Nangong, although the Protector Army defeated this intercepted Gaochang army, it is equivalent to exposing the whereabouts of the entire team, we must leave here as soon as possible, once the main force of the Gaochang army surrounds the entire team, then the situation is not good." ”
In the face of the four major governors of Gaochang State, the Eastern Governor's Mansion, which has the strongest military strength, the Dongfan tribe was still very cautious in its actions and did not go all the way through.
After entering the jurisdiction of the Eastern Governor's Mansion of the Gaochang Kingdom, the team of the Eastern Tibetan people first captured a city in Huhesa Province, and then relied on this city to defeat the main force of a Gaochang Temporary Army stationed in Huhesa Province, and then the Dongfan tribe added a lot of food and water in this city, and then entered the desert, and then the team of the Eastern Tibetan people began to circle in the desert near Huhesa Province, trying to mobilize the army of the Eastern Governor's Mansion. Then take the opportunity to break out of the encirclement of the army belonging to the Eastern Governor's Office.
In order to wipe out the entire Dongfan tribe, the Governor of the Eastern Metropolis, Haner Apdu, transferred more than one million troops that were prepared to counterattack the Ji'an army to besiege the Dongbo people, and at present, the more than one million troops were divided into multiple units and were surrounding the troops of the Dongbo people from all directions.
Now the Dongfan Protector Army has defeated the two Gaochang armies that encircled and suppressed them, but Nangong Jing, the commander of the Dongfan Protector Army, knows that more Gaochang troops are pounced on their entire Dongfan army like hungry wolves.
Nangong Jing sighed to the veiled woman and said: "Yu Yan, according to the confession of the Gaochang people who were captured before, the Eastern Governor of Gaochang Kingdom, Haner Apdu, has transferred more than one million troops that were originally preparing to launch a counteroffensive against the Jin army to these provinces west of the Eastern Governor's Mansion to encircle and suppress our Dongfan people, our Dongfan people have fallen into a very dangerous situation at this time, I don't know if we can still reach the oasis where the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate is located, and help your Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate break through a military fortress of the Gaochang people, alas-"
On the one hand, the Dongfan people have returned to Gaochang for many years, because of the problem of appearance, they have been suffering from all kinds of exploitation of Gaochang State, this time the king of Gaochang State, Mujshid, will send 100,000 men of the Dongfan tribe to the battlefield of the war with the Jin army, you must know that the entire Dongfan tribe only has a population of more than 700,000, and 100,000 men are too important to the Dongfan people.
On the other hand, it was because the people from the Anxi Protectorate came to the Dongfan tribe and persuaded the high-level of the Dongfan tribe to jointly agree that the two sides would form an alliance and return to the Jin Kingdom together.
And this woman with a veil is Zhao Yuyan, the only daughter of Zhao Shiwang, the current protector of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, a few months ago, Zhao Yuyan took 300 elite soldiers of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, went through a lot of hardships, and with a mortality rate of more than 70%, she left the oasis where the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate was located.
Originally, on this oasis where the Anxi Protectorate was located, there was only one city, Anxi City, but in order to block Anxi City, Gao Changguo built six large military forts on this oasis, relying on the complex terrain of this oasis, all the passages to the outside of Anxi City were blocked.
The Anxi City of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate was built on the south slope of the main peak of the Xitai Mountains, Pu'e Peak, and the east, west, and north directions of the Pu'e Peak were all cliffs three or four thousand meters high, and the Gaochang army could not use the east, west, and north sides of the Pu'e Peak to attack Anxi City, and the people of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate had no way to leave from the Pu'e Peak.
This time, Zhao Yuyan took 300 elite soldiers from the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and chose to choose from the lofty mountains between the two large military forts.
successfully passed through the blockade of Anxi City by the Gaochang people, but Zhao Yuyan and the others were finally able to walk out of the almost impossible mountains and mountains, but they paid a considerable price, and when they came out, there were less than 130 people left around Zhao Yuyan.
After that, Zhao Yuyan and others encountered a Gaochangguo patrol sent by a military fort, and after a fight, Zhao Yuyan finally fled into the desert with less than 100 people.
The eastern governor of Gaochang State, Haner Apdu, learned that there was a small group of Jin people in Anxi City, and unknowingly passed through the blockade of the six military forts, and immediately mobilized a large number of troops to besiege and kill this small group of Jin people.
Zhao Yuyan and the people originally wanted to rush all the way east to the Great Jin, but they were chased and killed by the army of Gaochangguo, and finally Zhao Yuyan reluctantly found that even if she took people to the desert all the time, she could not break through the siege of the Gaochangguo army, and she didn't want to successfully reach the Great Jin, not to mention that Zhao Yuyan and others could not have been traveling in the desert, they needed to constantly replenish food and water in the oases along the way.
Later, Zhao Yuyan made a decision and decided not to rush in the direction of the Great Jin Dynasty, but turned to the west and rushed to the Olun Province to contact the Dongfan tribe.
More than a hundred years ago, the Great Jin Dynasty had sixteen vassal states in the Western Regions and dozens of city-states loyal to the Great Jin, at that time the Dongfan tribe, who had been oppressed and exploited by the Gaochang State, wanted to return to their homeland and submit to the Great Jin, but because of the war between the Great Jin and the Gaochang Kingdom, it was delayed, and finally the Great Jin was defeated, and the Dongfan tribe also dispelled the idea of returning to the Great Jin.
After Zhao Yuyan arrived at the Dongfan tribe, he immediately re-mentioned the matter of returning to the Great Jin Dynasty to the Dongfan tribe, and it happened that at this time, Liu Ji's westward army of the Ju'an army seized the Smosco Province of the Eastern Governor of Gaochang State, which made the patriarchs and elders of the Dongfan tribe can't help but be a little moved, and so the king of Gaochang State, Mujieshid, used grain as bait to send 100,000 men of the Dongfan tribe to the battlefield, which became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the patriarchs and elders of the Dongfan tribe immediately agreed to form an alliance with the Anxi Protectorate, and the clan returned to the Great Jin Dynasty. and also promised Zhao Yuyan that he would help the Anxi Protectorate break through a military fort of the Gaochang people, so that the people of the Anxi Protectorate would return to the Great Jin Dynasty together with the people of the Dongfan tribe.
Zhao Yuyan heard Nangong Jing say, I don't know if the team of the Dongfan clan can reach the oasis where the Anxi Protectorate is located, Zhao Yuyan's brows furrowed slightly, "General Nangong, there are nearly 500,000 people in Anxi City, where our Anxi Protectorate is located, including 100,000 troops, and all the people in our Anxi Protectorate are soldiers. ”
Nangong Jing looked at Zhao Yuyan and said with a wry smile: "Yu Yan, since our Dongfan clan has formed an alliance with your Anxi Protectorate, then our Dongfan clan will definitely try our best to kill the oasis where the Anxi Protectorate is located, and open up the road from the Anxi Protectorate to the outside world, but I didn't expect that the Gaochang people would ignore the Jin State Ju'an Army that captured Smosco Province, but instead concentrated millions of troops to encircle and suppress our Dongfan tribe, and I don't know if our Dongfan tribe can escape this time." ”
Nangong Jing has seen the true face behind Zhao Yuyan's veil, it is a face that can definitely make all men in the world crazy, Nangong Jing, the future patriarch of the Dongfan clan, suddenly fell under Zhao Yuyan's pomegranate skirt, and Zhao Yuyan is not only as beautiful as a fairy, but also her own martial arts are also very powerful.
On the issue of the alliance between the Dongfan clan and the Anxi Protectorate, Nangong Jing also made a lot of efforts in order to show more performance in front of Zhao Yuyan, otherwise the Dongfan clan would not have embarked on the road to return to the east so soon.
Zhao Yuyan said in a coquettish voice: "General Nangong, Yu Yan believes that under the leadership of you, the Dongfan clan will definitely be able to break through the encirclement of the Gaochang army and help us open up a way for the Anxi Protectorate." ”
Zhao Yuyan and Nangong Jing said hello and returned to their subordinates, Zhao Yuyan asked a strong man in iron armor, "Brother Shi, how about our casualties in this battle?" ”
"Miss, five of our brothers died in battle."
This strong man called Shishi, whose name is Zhao Shishi, is the captain of the personal guard of Zhao Shiwang, the current capital of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and this time he was ordered by Zhao Shiwang to protect Zhao Yuyan and go to the Jin Kingdom for help.
Hearing that five more soldiers from the Anxi Protectorate had been killed, Zhao Yuyan's face couldn't help but show a trace of sadness.
Zhao Shishi hesitated for a moment and said to Zhao Yuyan: "Miss, I've been thinking about it these days, it doesn't seem appropriate for you to contact the Dongfan clan to return to the Great Jin together, you must know that Lord Du Hu just asked us to rush to the Great Jin at all costs, and report to the imperial court that our Anxi Protectorate still exists, and let the imperial court decide what our Anxi Protectorate should do next!" But now you have promised the Dongfan clan that our Anxi Protectorate will withdraw to the Great Jin Dynasty together with the Dongfan Clan, so will we, the Anxi Protectorate, who have been guarding the Anxi Protectorate for more than a hundred years, give up? ”
Zhao Yuyan said gloomily: "Brother Shi, in order to protect the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, our Zhao family has paid hundreds of lives for more than a hundred years, and my eldest brother, second brother and third brother have also shed blood on the battlefield, giving up the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate for more than a hundred years, and I don't want to, but now more than half of the wells in Anxi City have no water, and several streams in Pu'e Peak have also dried up. ”
Zhao Shishi sighed and said, "Miss, but will Lord Du Hu agree?" With my understanding of Lord Duhu, without the will of the Great Jin Dynasty, Lord Duhu would never order the entire Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate to embark on the road back to the east. ”
Zhao Yuyan snorted coldly and said: "What kind of Great Jin Imperial Court, in fact, I don't want to contact it at all, our Anxi Imperial Protectorate has made such a big move in the Western Regions, I don't believe that the Great Jin Imperial Court will not know any news at all, you must know that the Great Jin Dynasty and many countries in the Western Regions have trade contacts, maybe the Great Jin Imperial Court is not rare in the Western Regions at all, and our Anxi Imperial Protectorate has already given up." ”
Zhao Shishi frowned and said, "But isn't the army of the Great Jin Dynasty now capturing the Smosco Province within the jurisdiction of the Eastern Governor's Mansion of the Gaochang Kingdom?" ”
Zhao Yuyan sighed and said: "I got the ins and outs of the matter from Nangong Jing, it turned out that the Jue'an army that captured the Smosco Province within the jurisdiction of the Eastern Governor of Gaochang Kingdom was just the private army of a Taishou of the Great Jin, and the Taishou of the Great Jin Jue'an County had a personal enmity with Haner Apdu, the Eastern Governor of the Gaochang Kingdom, but I didn't expect that the Taishou of the Eastern Governor of the Great Jin Dynasty had such a strong strength and could capture the Smosco Province!" ”
Zhao Shishi's eyes widened and asked, "Miss, a Taishou in Dajin has such a strong strength?" That the whole Great Jin? ”
Zhao Yuyan waved her hand and said: "The Great Jin is still suffering from internal and external troubles, but that Great Jin Jue'an County Taishou is an outlier!" ”
"Oh, what happened! Miss, if the Dongfan clan arrives in our Anxi City, and the Lord Duhu does not agree to the Anxi Duhu Mansion returning to the east with the Dongfan clan, what can I do? ”
"I don't know what to do, let's take it one step at a time! It is absolutely impossible for Anxi City, which is short of water, to feed nearly 500,000 people in our entire Anxi Prefecture! ”
