In March, the spring breeze is closed again. Since the opening of the Hexi Corridor, Yumen, as the main road of the Silk Road, has been an important pass to communicate with the countries of the Western Regions, and it has been much more lively. Except for a few people as bold as Arodoti who came east to "pan for gold".

What's more, there are still many countries in the Western Regions that took the initiative to send envoys to the east to make a pilgrimage to the Great Xia Emperor. This is the influence of Liu Heng's stirring up the wind and rain in the Western Regions, and the killing is wanton. Liu Heng's route of march was to go west through the chariot division, and most of the countries he attacked were in the southern part of the Western Regions.

It is also blocked by the Beishan and Tianshan mountain ranges that straddle the east and west, and the countries in the north have not become Liu Heng's targets. But Liu Heng's movement in the Western Regions was too great, and nearly half of the country was destroyed, especially after the Wensu War, the collapse of the entire southern coalition army made Liu Heng's fierce and prosperous to the peak.

I don't know if Liu Heng will set his goal on himself. Several countries in the north, while contacting "big powers" such as Wusun, hoping that they could take the lead in resisting the Xia people, since Qiuzi was slaughtered, none of the countries in the Western Regions had the confidence to deal with the Xia army alone. But Wusun is no longer the Wusun of the past, and he has died out so far, and he has no time to take care of himself.

On the other hand, he actively sent envoys, hoping to get Liu Yuan's order to let Liu Heng quit the army and put away the butcher's knife. After all, I heard that Liu Heng was the king of Great Xia, and the army he led was only a partial division from Great Xia.

From the Jade Gate, return to the Jade Gate. Liu Heng didn't expect that nearly two years had passed from the eighth year of Qiande to the westward to seeing the Chengguan of Great Xia again. In Wensu, Shule and other allied forces were wiped out by Liu Heng in a battle, and when Guo Huai led the Great Xia Iron Cavalry to attack the kings, take their heads, and behead their banners, the outcome was decided.

With Liu Heng and Wang Chang in the Wensu Walled City, they attacked on three sides, and the Xia army won a great victory. Thousands of people were killed, more than 20,000 people were captured, thousands of good horses, and countless camels, cattle and sheep. This is Liu Heng's last battle in the Western Regions, and after being away for so long, the soldiers of the Western Expedition have already thought about it.

There were 4,000 people when they went out to the west, nearly 30,000 people returned to the east, and there were more than 1,000 Xia soldiers, who completely fell on the vast land of the Western Regions. With the cooperation of the servant army, tens of thousands of captives were escorted, and the wealth of the plundered countries in the Western Regions was finally returned after several months of travel.

However, before the Yumen closed at this time, the atmosphere was not very harmonious. As the "glorious" return of King Chen of Great Xia, the defenders of Yumen did not let him in, and the defenders said that Xu Yin should be too guarded. Tens of thousands of people have been carrying large carts and small carts for two days.

After waiting for these two days, Xu Yin in Dunhuang finally came late, and Liu Heng's patience was almost exhausted. When the Jade Gate City was closed, Xu Yin recognized Liu Heng at a glance, and he had seen Liu Heng in Chang'an a few years ago. Although Liu Heng's appearance has changed a lot over the years, his beard is much thicker, and he has been on an expedition to the Western Regions for two years, and his face is full of wind and frost, but Xu Yin is very sure in his heart that the man who is domineering and leaking under the city pass is Liu Heng.

"Xu Taishou! Lone has been waiting under the city gate for two days! You can switch and let it go, go to the country alone for a long time, and return to Chang'an in the east to offer victory to your father! Liu Heng sat on his horse and shouted coldly. Xu Yin's gaze from the city tower made him feel very unhappy.

"His Royal Highness King Chen has returned with a large army, and the army is mighty and terrifying!" Seeing that Liu Heng's tone was not good, Xu Yin reacted indifferently and said: "His Royal Highness is back, and the subordinates naturally dare not stop it." It's just that such a large army is not subject to His Majesty's edict, and the subordinates really dare not let it go rashly. Please wait patiently for a while, and Rong Chen will go to the state capital and forward it to His Majesty. Your Majesty will be overjoyed to learn of His Highness's return! ”

Xu Yin said this, and the implication was obvious, he didn't want to let Liu Heng pass.

"This is to Chang'an, thousands of miles away! Send someone to ask the father of Chang'an, when do you want to let Lone wait to go! Well? Hearing Xu Yin's words, Liu Heng immediately said angrily: "Xu Yin, are you deliberately preventing orphans from entering the customs?" ”

"The subordinates don't dare!" Xu Yinyun replied lightly: "Please also ask Your Highness to temporarily garrison outside the pass, and tomorrow the ministers will send someone to report!" ”

"Behind Lonely, it is the Great Xia soldiers who follow the Lone Expedition and exalt the power of the foreign land, do you want to stop them?" Liu Heng had already tried hard to suppress his anger.

"The court has its own laws, and there is also military discipline in the army, and Your Highness should also understand it. Your Highness, the tens of thousands of people, if the subordinates dare not report it to the court, they will easily put it into the pass, but I am afraid that this head will also fall off! Please also ask for your understanding! Xu Yin's expression was not much moved, but Liu Heng heard a little "proud" from his tone.

"Xu Yin, Gu asks you again, do you really want to let Gu enter the customs?" Liu Heng's voice was already a little murderous, and his tone was chilling.

"Your Highness may bring a small number of guards into the customs, and the ministers dare not stop them!" At this time, Xu Yin seemed to have put forward a compromise suggestion: "As for the other armies, they still need a reply from the imperial court!" ”

"Open the mouth of the court, close the mouth of the court, Xu Yin, you sour Confucian, the power of the fake court oppresses the lonely, is it really easy to be lonely?" Liu Heng was already angry.

Wang Chang saw that Liu Heng's mood was wrong, and at this time he couldn't help but persuade: "Your Highness, Xu Taishou's words are not unreasonable, why don't Your Highness enter the customs and return to Chang'an first?" ”

Liu Heng turned his head sharply and stared at Wang Chang, he was in the Western Regions, galloping across the country, killing countless people, how could he have been so "bullied". In the past two years, his temper has increased, and his tyrannical temperament has not yet recovered.

"Please ask His Royal Highness King Chen to let the army be stationed on the side of the pass, now there are a lot of business trips to and from Liangzhou, don't obstruct the trade route!" Xu Yin's faint voice floated from Guancheng again: "As for the minister's proposal, please consider it Your Highness!" ”

Hearing this, Liu Heng's eyes were completely cold, and something called "murderous" shrouded him. The scene was silent for a while, and Liu Heng spoke: "Go back to the camp and transfer troops to tackle key problems!" ”

"What?" Wang Chang and the others were startled and subconsciously spoke.

Liu Heng's brain was already filled with anger, and he couldn't hold it back at all, and howled angrily: "I broke the jade door for Lone, and Lone wants to see it, can I stop Lone by relying on this?" ”

was frightened by Liu Heng's boldness, and after returning to the camp, Wang Chang and other Xia Army officers strongly persuaded him, and even "newly-surrendered" generals such as Cheng Yin couldn't help but speak.

On the contrary, those generals in the Western Regions did not hesitate to carry out Liu Heng's orders, and in the end, Liu Heng's brain was hot, regardless of dissuasion, and personally led tens of thousands of servant troops to attack Yumen Pass.

On top of the city, looking at the Hu soldiers of the Western Regions who were attacking the city, Xu Yin's eyes flashed with brilliance. Inside the Yumen Pass, there are no more than a thousand soldiers, Xu Yin is on top, shouting to resist, but there is no intention of resisting. Perhaps because of the "prestige of King Chen", the Jade Gate was easily breached.

Stepping on the head of the Jade Gate, Liu Heng's anger temporarily subsided, and he looked at Xu Yin's corpse, dying. Staring at the pupils that had dimmed, Liu Heng suddenly panicked.
