In December 394 AD, Wang Maide, Du Jin, and Fuqu Nan formed three troops, starting the pace of unifying the Western Regions.

Among them, Wang Maide led the four-compartment cavalry to cross the Tianshan Mountains and raid Shule from the north.

Du Jintong rode from Yancheng to the west on a four-carriage foot and was responsible for passing through Qiuzi.

The Fuqu Nan Chengtong sedan rode along the southern Silk Road and attacked Khotan.

The army of the middle road rested in Yancheng for a while, and when the sky was about to dawn, it suddenly came to Qiancheng (now Xinhe County).

Since the east of Yancheng was ceded to Hexi, Qiuci has lost the natural danger of Tiemen Pass, and its Qiancheng, which has no danger to defend, has immediately become the eastern gateway of Qiuci.

The defenders of Qiuzi in the city were suddenly attacked, and they hurriedly responded to the battle.

As a result, after only half an hour, they could not resist the enemy, and they all tried to flee to Gumo, the royal city to the west.

But after escaping, everyone found that no matter how they ran, they couldn't get rid of the Hexi cavalry, which was known for their fierce and good at riding.

Under the continuous pursuit and fierce attack of the Hexi Iron Cavalry, the Qiuzi people completely collapsed.

Next, he didn't even bother to clean up the battlefield, and Wei Shuo continued to lead the middle route army to advance towards Gumo.

On the way, he fought three or four times with the Qiuzi people, and Qiuzi was defeated in every battle, so he had to flee from the wind.

It wasn't until he was less than thirty miles away from Gumo that Du Jin ordered the army to stop its advance.

As everyone knows, he attacked all the way, invincible and invincible, and has greatly shocked the top and bottom of Qiuzi.

In desperation, King Qiuzi had no choice but to send an envoy to Hexi to sue for peace.

……

As soon as 12,000 Hexi troops set up camp under Gumo City, the Qiuzi envoy entered the camp.

The soldier in charge of guarding the gate walked into the big tent and bowed to Du Jinshi and said, "Governor, the envoy of Qiuzi has gone out of the city to ask for a meeting. ”

"Hehehe!" Hearing this, Du Jin sneered for a moment, glanced around at the generals, and said with disdain on his face: "It's finally here, and I'm quite good at picking the time." ”

"It's a pity, if you don't have the capital, don't think about doing big business, otherwise not only will you not make money, but you will also lose all your money."

The generals burst into laughter, and now the turtle is losing all his money? Now at the end of the road, he is not even qualified to bargain.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you remember what Dadu Hu said at the beginning?"

"The barbarian state is used to seeing the wind and the rudder, and only when they are hurt and beaten hard, will they be honest."

"Not only will they offer us beautiful women and wealth with their own hands, but they will also kneel down and cry and ask us to accept them."

The complacent Du Jin shouted wantonly: "Let the Qiuzi people get in and listen to what he is talking nonsense." ”

The Qiuzi envoy wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and hurriedly walked to the Chinese army's tent.

The guards had already secretly been instructed by Du Jin, and deliberately took the Qiuzi envoy through the camp.

When he saw that the camp was full of armor and swords, it almost frightened the Qiuzi envoys.

When I came to the big tent of the Chinese army, I looked at the guards standing around me, and I couldn't help but shudder, I always felt that coming today was like a sheep in the mouth of a tiger.

He forced himself to settle down, dressed neatly, and said secretly: Alas, for the sake of the lives of the people in the city, give it a try!

"Gentile ministers see the Grand Governor!"

The slightly trembling voice of the Turtle Emissary made everyone sound a little weird.

In the big tent, none of the generals paid attention to the Qiuzi people, and they didn't even bother to look at the Qiuzi people.

Because everyone knew very well in their hearts that the governor had a whim and agreed to the envoys of Qiuzi to go out of the city to discuss surrender, making it clear that it was a cat playing a mouse and bullying the weak.

But Qiuzi didn't know the details, and really thought that Hexi would negotiate peace with them.

King Qiuzi was already an ant on a hot pot, so naturally he would not give up any life-saving straw, so he hurriedly sent an envoy over.

Li Sui glanced at the Qiuzi envoy who was kneeling on the ground with pity, and muttered softly: "Pitiful, pathetic, lamentable." ”

The Turtle Messenger fell to his knees and buried his head deep between his arms.

I don't know if it's because of the cold clothes, or because of the emotional tension, the whole person is shivering.

Du Jin sat down on the head, just snorted, and leisurely played with the horsewhip, did not sit or speak, and let the Qiuzi people kneel there.

The long silence brought great pressure to the envoy of Guizi, but apart from bowing his head to show respect, he did not dare to move, let alone speak rashly.

The surrounding generals looked mockingly at the knees, as if admiring a monkey playing tricks.

"Say whatever you want."

I don't know how long it took, Du Jin finally opened his mouth lazily.

When the Qiuzi envoy heard this, he was obviously relieved, and he was finally able to speak.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he looked up, he happened to see the largest and most detailed map of the Western Regions hanging on the wall behind Du Jin.

Including the entire territory of Qiuci, Shule in the west, Khotan in the south, and the green ridge, north of Yibohai (present-day Central Asia) and other vast terrains, are all marked on it.

What a lot of territory! The Turtle Messenger was secretly amazed, and from the map, the Turtle was pitifully small.

It was also the first time that the Qiuzi envoy had seen such a meticulous and huge map, and from this map, one could clearly feel the ambition of the Hexi people.

Oh my God, the ambitions of the people of Hexi are too big, terrifyingly big.

Suddenly, the Qiuzi envoy felt his scalp tingle, and when he looked at Du Jin sitting on it, he felt a shudder.

"My king has always admired the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, and when he heard the arrival of the army, he was overjoyed."

"Then he prepared grain and straw to serve the king's division, and offered local treasures to the governor and the generals in the army......"

At this point, the Turtle Envoy waved his hand back, only to see his attendants hurriedly step forward and open the boxes containing the jewels one by one.

All of a sudden, the gold and silver in the big tent were dazzling, and the treasures were dazzling.

Rare treasures such as gold, silver, and jewels were all over the place, causing a slight commotion among the crowd.

Li Sui was born into a family and had never seen any jewelry, so he was the least affected.

He shook his head secretly and said: It's useless, it won't help to send all the gold, silver and jewelry in Qiuzi right now.

Now that Dadu Hu has made a plan to take all the Western Regions, it is useless to take out whatever the Qiuzi people come up with now.

The fate of the Qiuzi people has long been held in the palm of Hexi's hands, and they have no room for maneuver at all.

Now the army of tens of thousands is like a flood ready to rise, and there is no one to stop it from pouring down.

Perhaps perceiving the gaze of the surrounding generals made the Guizi envoy think that things had taken a turn for the better, so he continued to persuade him diligently.

"In order to show his loyalty, my king will personally repair the book to ask for sin, swear allegiance to the protector of the capital, and invite the governor to look at it."

Looking at the book held high above his head, Du Jin didn't even raise his head, and continued to play with the horsewhip.

The Qiuzi envoy's face was full of embarrassment, and he just wanted to get up and offer it with his own hands.

Unexpectedly, he was forced back by the fierce eyes of the surrounding generals.

It made him hold the book stupidly, not knowing what to do.

"Why are you stunned? Hurry up?! ”

It was only at this point that the Turtle Envoy figured it out.

He, an important minister of the turtle and an envoy of the king, is not a fart in the eyes of the people of Hexi.

Although he had predicted in advance that he would be humiliated, and even in order to save the country of Qiuzi, the envoy of Qiuzi had made up his mind to die.

But now in the face of the arrogant contempt of the Hexi people, he still feels sour.

As a last resort, the envoy had no choice but to unfold the book himself, clear his throat, and recite it aloud in a slightly tired voice.

"Since the founding of the first king, the small country has been blessed with the grace of the Celestial Empire, and the races have been one after another, and the king of Zuo has been endless......"

“…… Although the road is far away, Ranchen still has his heart set on the great power of the Central Plains......"

“…… Today, when I heard that the army of the Central Plains King had arrived, the ministers were overjoyed......"

Even if the whole book was full of compliments, even if the Qiuzi envoy tried his best to show humility, he still could not impress the people of Hexi.

But seeing that Du Jin was not touched at all, while laughing and scolding with the people next to him, he beckoned someone to pour him tea.

And the surrounding Hexi generals were also indifferent, and the sneers were endless.

Seeing this scene, the Qiuzi envoy secretly complained, but he could only read it hard.

“…… Now the army of the king is going on an expedition to work hard, and the ministers are preparing generous gifts to send the army back to the east......"

“…… And the offerings are presented to the protection of the capital, so as to ask the ministers to ......"

"Hahaha......" Du Jin suddenly laughed loudly, and the envoy of the turtle fell to the ground in fright.

"King Guizi thought so beautifully, so lightly and flutteringly, he was so helpless to push his capital crime cleanly."

"Haha......"

Suddenly, as soon as the laughter stopped, Du Jin "snapped", slammed the teacup in his hand on the ground, and walked down quickly with a horsewhip.

When he came to the messenger, he tore the book and threw it into the sky, raised his whip, and broke it in half with a bang.

Then he kicked over the box containing the jewels again, kicked it and shouted: "With a little tattered thing, I want to get my army back to the division, it's not so cheap." ”

"You listen to Lao Tzu!"

Du Jin pointed at the Qiuzi envoy with a horsewhip, and said viciously: "Go back and tell your king, quickly disband the army, and open the city gate to welcome the king into the city." ”

"I will take the princes and grandchildren with me, and at noon tomorrow, I will bind myself in front of the palace and wait for the king's master."

"But there is a slight delay, the day the city is broken, it is the time when Erqiuzi destroys the country."

The envoy of the turtle could not help but face ashes, and his hands remained as if he were holding the book, but the man was already sitting on the ground......
