When Wei Shuo personally led the main force of his infantry to arrive at the city, the battle was nearing its end, and only the eastern leader of the city and some of his henchmen were left to resist stubbornly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Seeing this scene, Wei Shuo didn't talk nonsense, raised the iron rod in his hand, and roared: "Kill, kill in, kill all the enemies!" ”

Suddenly, led by Wei Shuo, nine thousand elite foot soldiers, rushed forward towards the city, they brandished spears and horizontal knives with an incomparably fierce cold wind, whistling away.

Along the way, Wei Shuo's iron rod smashed over many people, and the splashed blood almost confused his eyes.

This was the first time he had experienced the war, and if he hadn't wanted outsiders to look down on him, he would have vomited into a ball.

At this time, the herdsmen in the city listened to the shouts of killing all over the city, and their hearts were panicked, and they looked at the teams of Gao Chang soldiers roaring past through the crack in the door.

In a roar like thunderbolt, countless Gaochang soldiers wearing paper armor and holding horizontal knives cut down all the Wusun people who tried to resist to the ground like a group of fierce ghosts released from hell, with a terrifying murderous aura.

When Wei Shuo and other reinforcements unstoppably entered the city, the entire city of Silai was suddenly plunged into a shouting of killing.

Countless roars and screams were incomparably clear in the silent night, and everywhere there was "abandon your weapons, and those who descend will not be killed!" Shouts.

There were fewer and fewer defenders who insisted on resisting, and Gao Chang's soldiers became more and more courageous.

Finally, an earth-shattering scream sounded under the night sky, making everyone's hearts tremble.

I saw a bloody man walking on the street, carrying a mace that was still dripping with blood in one hand, and a bloody head in the other, and roaring angrily in his mouth.

"The Lord of the East is dead, and those who descend from the instrument will not die!"

The roar was like lightning in the night, sending through the night to the surrounding area of the city.

Immediately countless cheers rang out, countless horizontal swords danced in the firelight, and hundreds of defenders finally dropped their weapons in despair and fell to their knees.

When the sky was about to dawn, all the cities fell into the hands of the Gaochang people, and the 20,000 defenders either died or surrendered, and only a few people took advantage of the chaos to escape.

So far, the first military operation since the establishment of the Gaochang New Army has finally achieved a preliminary victory, and the casualties paid are less than 1,000.

……

"Dare to ask Lieutenant, now that the army has successfully captured the city of Silai, so that our army has a foothold at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, where should the army go next?"

"Taking the city of Silai is equivalent to opening the gate to the eastern grassland of Wusun Kingdom, which is a vast grassland with abundant water and grass."

Speaking of this, Wei Shuo got up and pointed to the Junggar Basin on the map, and said with excitement on his face: "The next focus is to completely take this grassland as its own, and all the Wusun people living here will be naturalized into Huaxia people, so that they can become herdsmen in Gaochang, and provide Gaochang with war horses, livestock, wool, etc. ”

"Lord Duwei, won't our army intervene in the decisive battle between the northern side and the king of Wusun?"

Glancing at Xu Zhao, who was still a little immature, Wei Shuo smiled and said, "Ally? Hehehe, it's just a temporary ally, and after Wusun is resolved, it is impossible for Gaochang and Yueban to live in peace. ”

"What? Adults intend to send troops after the war to dominate Wusun? ”

Xu Zhao exclaimed, attracting the attention of the generals. Except for a few militants like Kang Long, most of the generals had a worried face, as if they were afraid that Wei Shuo would be hot-headed and continue to fight.

To be honest, although the new army won an easy victory at the beginning and suffered very little losses, this does not mean that after the war, Gaochang still has the ability to wrestle with Yue. In any case, the army traveled hundreds of miles long distances, not only was the soldiers poor, but now the grain and grass industry could not be turned, and if it were not for the abundant captures, the army might have to drink the northwest wind.

Wei Shuo took the generals' worries in his eyes, and then smiled slightly and comforted: "It's like sending troops? How is this possible? In this battle, our army attacked and occupied the city of Silai and captured the eastern grassland. How dare you think about it again! ”

"However, if our army doesn't do it, it doesn't mean that people can endure it." After speaking, the corners of Wei Shuo's mouth showed a hint of cunning.

"Pleasant people? Do they dare? This battle is like a lone battle against the main force of Wusun, even if it wins, it is a miserable victory, how dare you provoke Gaochang? ”

"Under normal circumstances, the people of Yueban naturally don't dare to act rashly, but if the people of Yueban find out after the war that they have worked hard to eliminate the main force of Wusun, but all the benefits are for Gaochang to go, do you think they can bear it?"

At this time, Li Wei, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "Your Excellency intends to send troops to the west to attack Wusun King City?" ”

"Hahaha, Xuan Sheng, who knows me! Now that the main force of Wusun is going north to fight a decisive battle with Yue, the defense of the royal city must be empty. Taking advantage of the fact that the news of the fall of the city has not yet spread, our army sent elite cavalry to attack overnight, and it will definitely be won in one battle. Then move all the wealth accumulated by the Wusun Kingdom in the royal city back to Gaochang for hundreds of years, you say that the king of Yueban knows, can you still find us desperately? ”

"If people like Yue know that the adults are calculating them like this behind their backs, they can't vomit blood."

"Whether or not Yueban vomits blood has nothing to do with it, I only know that I can't leave a complete royal city to Yue, otherwise Yueban will definitely be difficult to control in the future."

Speaking of this, Wei Shuo stood up and said generously: "Everyone, the destruction of Wusun does not mean that Gao Chang can sit back and relax from now on. On the contrary, as Yue occupies the western part of Wusun and lives next to Gaochang, it will become a new threat to Gaochang. ”

"The ancients said: If everything is foreseen, it will be wasted if it is not prepared! Everything needs to be planned holistically and think long-term! ”

"Gao Chang can unite with Yue to destroy Wusun, but a powerful Yue will never be allowed."

"But if the army marches west and attacks the Wusun King City, won't it indirectly help the Yueban people?"

"There's no way around it, how can there be so many ways to get the best of both worlds? The lesser of two evils, the westward march of the army certainly helped Yue, but it also gave us the opportunity to obtain the wealth of Wusun alone. And once this money arrives in Gaochang, it will greatly promote the development of Gaochang, and in the long run, our army will benefit the most. ”

"Your Excellency is wise, I will wait for you."

……

Wei Shuo then divided the army into two, of which Li Wei led 3,000 cavalry to attack the city of Wusun Wangcheng for a long time, and the remaining infantry was led by others, and the troops swept the eastern grasslands by road.

And he himself sat in the city of Silai to deal with post-war affairs, and now there are about 300,000 people in the entire eastern part of Wusun, all waiting for him to come up with specific measures to appease them.

In order to stabilize the east before the Yueban people entered Wusun, Wei Shuo worked out resettlement measures on the one hand; While asking for help from the rear, he asked the Taishou Mansion to transfer Song Miao to assist.

Yang Han and Song Xuanren, who were far away in Gaochang, couldn't help but be overjoyed when they learned that the army had successfully captured the city and captured more than 300,000 people.

Yang Han immediately ordered Song Shuo to go north with his elite officials to the city of Silai to help Wei Shuo pacify the eastern part of Wusun.

He knows very well in his heart whether Gaochang can rise in the future depends on today's results.

Half a month later, Wei Shuo, who was already tired and dizzy, finally waited for Song Xuan, and he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Physique, you're finally here, you almost didn't exhaust me to death lately."

"My lord, how is it now?" As soon as they met, Song Miao couldn't take a breath, so he pulled Wei Shuo and asked.

"Don't be in a hurry, sit down and take a breath first, and listen to me slowly introduce you."

"Oh, Lord Lieutenant, how can I not be in a hurry? Don't you know, when the victory of Lai Lai City was transmitted back to Gaochang, Yang Taishou cried happily, if it weren't for Gaochang who really couldn't do without him, the boss would have to come north to take a look. ”

"On the whole, the current situation is more favorable to Gaochang, and at the moment the main force of the Wusun army is still competing with the Yueban people, and I took advantage of the fact that the main force of Wusun was lonely, and specially ordered Li Wei to take three thousand cavalry to attack its royal city for a long time, and it is estimated that there should be news in a while."

"In my opinion, at present, we should take advantage of the fact that the Yueban people have not yet entered Wusun, and we should rectify the east as soon as possible, so that it is possible to force Yueban not to attack in the future."

"How?"

"Kill the leaders and nobles of the local tribes, keep only slaves and ordinary herdsmen, and then divide the eastern grasslands equally among ordinary herdsmen according to the equalization system."

"In addition, Gaochang should also set up counties and counties in this place, promote education, and strive to naturalize the herdsmen into Chinese people in a few years, so that they can occupy this place for a long time."
