Liu Che believes that the enmity between the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty is not a matter of one or two years. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info played in the past, is playing now, and will continue to play in the future.

However, the failure of the Western Expedition to Dawan has formed a domino effect, which will trigger the entire Western Regions Light Han Dynasty.

If even a small Dawan Kingdom can't be handled, then the Western Regions countries such as Daxia, Wusun, and Cheshi will all turn their backs on Han and surrender to Hungary, form an alliance, and unanimously deal with the Han Dynasty.

In this way, the Xiongnu could not handle it, and there was one more enemy who dared to defy the Han Dynasty.

So may I ask: Is it still possible to realize the dream of the great Han Dynasty and the coming dynasty of all nations?

So the most important thing at the moment is: temporarily let go of the Xiongnu, go all out to take Dawan, and subdue the Western Regions.

Li Guangli has already lost once, and he can't lose again this time.

If you don't do it this time, you will be completely convinced of the Western Regions as soon as you do it!

Liu Che thinks so and does so.

He immediately began to do two things: the first thing was to arrest and convict all the officials headed by Deng Guang who had said that they would abandon the Western Regions and go all out to fight against Hungary.

The second thing is to mobilize the forces of the whole country... Liu Che summarized the reasons for Li Guangli's defeat, which are roughly as follows: 1. The logistics system was full of loopholes, and the supply was interrupted, causing the Han army to fall into passivity; 2 regular army lacking combat experience; 3. Didn't make the necessary assessment of the strength of the Western Regions Alliance... According to the above summary, Liu Che made the following arrangements: First, pardon the criminals, continue to recruit local ruffians and hooligans, and let them report to Dunhuang County.

Within a year, 60,000 people had registered, not including those who volunteered to join the army.

At the same time, the following logistical supplies were prepared: 100,000 cattle, 30,000 horses, tens of thousands of donkeys and camels, and countless grains, grasses, and weapons.

The seven soldiers of the world (1 guilty official, 2 outlaws, 3 sons-in-law, 4 merchants, 5 original city registrations, 6 parents with city registration, and 7 grandparents with city registration) were sent to transport logistics for the army.

Second, more than 50 captains were added to command operations, and a number of additional engineering troops were transferred.

According to reliable information, the Dawan people do not dig wells, and the water of each city is diverted from outside the city.

The purpose of the engineering corps was to prepare for the diversion of the Dawan River and cut off its water supply.

Thirdly, 180,000 regular border guards were requisitioned and stationed in Jiuquan, Zhangye and other counties to stand by; At the same time, in order to prevent the Huns from sneak attacking, another troops were sent to garrison in Juyan County, Zhangye County, Wuwei County, Xiutu County and other places.

Finally, there is one thing that has not been forgotten: the appointment of two equestrian experts, one for the captain and the one for the driver.

To appoint them is to go for Dawan's sweat and blood!

Liu Che's large number of conscriptions and luxurious array are rare since the founding of the Han Dynasty.

And he bet a huge amount of blood on Li Guangli, just to do one thing: to subdue the Western Regions and earn back his face and that of the Han Dynasty!

It is estimated that Li Guangli never dreamed that he would wait for such an exciting moment.

Yesterday I was still trembling, and my life was difficult to protect; Today, I am suddenly full of pride and satisfaction.

Suddenly, I felt that the army was in hand, and I asked the countries of the Western Regions, who would dare to block the way?

So, Li Guangli's army marched west again!

The same Western Regions and the same Li Guangli, but they have a different momentum.

Last year, everywhere he went, he closed the city gates, or let the dogs bite people.

Wherever Li Guangli's army went this year, all the countries in the Western Regions had already opened their cities early, preparing food and drinking water, and how much the Han army ate was counted as their... However, there are exceptions to everything, and there is one small country that is particularly bullish.

When Li Guangli's army arrived, his king ignored it and refused to open the city.

This small country, which refuses to provide Li Guangli with food and drink for free, is called Luntai State.

Don't open the city?

Look for death!

Li Guangli sneered and ordered the siege of the city!

In fact, Luntai really smells of looking for death.

It's a pity that the Han army failed to take Luntai City in the first place.

Li Guangli was furious and issued an order "No matter what means are used and how much price is paid, Luntai must be taken"

The reason why Li Guangli shouted this was not because there were many others, but because he had a deep fear in his heart, and he had no way out!

Liu Che's lot of money is not spent in vain, and Liu Che's patience is also limited!

Li Guangli deeply knows: he not only wants to win Luntai, but also Yu Chengcheng, and even the entire Dawan Kingdom!

The Han army attacked for several days, and Luntai finally could not hold it.

After breaking the city, Li Guangli did something that made all the countries in the Western Regions tremble: slaughter the city!

Kill all men, women and children!

Then the army continued westward.

The next target is Guishan City, the capital of Dawan Kingdom!

To get to Guishan City, you must bypass Yucheng City.

Maybe Li Guangli will not be able to erase the shadow left by Yu Chengcheng in his life.

Where you fall, you get up?

Maybe Li Guangli really wants to have a good fight with Yu Chengwang?

However, he immediately changed his mind.

Li Guangli suddenly thought: If he attacks Yuchengcheng wholeheartedly, if he can't attack it for a long time, it will undoubtedly give King Dawan a chance to breathe, which will delay the fighter.

He came up with a solution: the leapfrog tactic... The so-called artists rely on inspiration to eat.

In fact, this frog jumping method can be regarded as Li Guangli's inspiration!

At that time, Li Guangli made the following arrangements: divide the troops into two places, send the captain Wang Shensheng to lead more than 1,000 troops to attack Yuchengcheng, and he himself personally led 30,000 troops to directly kill Guishan City, the capital of Dawan Kingdom!

Li Guangli took the initiative to attack, and the sky was full of arrows and arrows shooting at the opponent.

The Dawan army cried wolf and had to retreat to the city.

The second step is to besiege the city.

At this time, the engineering troops transferred by Liu Che came in handy.

Their task is to modify the river for Dawan Kingdom, so that they can taste the taste of water and power outages... This siege is more than 40 days have passed, and the Han army has never broken the city.

But Li Guangli was not in a hurry at all.

Because he believes: Guishan City, which has no water at this time, is like a tomb, and all the living people in the city will be buried!

The first to complain was the nobles of the Dawan Kingdom.

Do you ever remember: It was these so-called nobles who came to stretch out their hands and open their mouths for food who instigated King Dawan to kill the Han envoys and seize the gold.

They have a big temper, but their appetite is particularly intolerant... These nobles urgently held a meeting and agreed that "the sweat and blood horses were hidden by the King of Dawan, and the Han envoys were killed by the King of Dawan." If the sweat and blood are sacrificed, and then the head of the culprit Dawan Wang is handed over, the Han army will definitely retreat. Take 10,000 steps back and say: If the Han army does not retreat, it will not be too late to fight and break the net."

Needless to say, it's really a big injustice.

It was these nobles who told him to do bad things, and it was also these shameless people who betrayed him, and they were kept in the dark.

And in fact, the nobles of Dawan are ready to keep the widow in the dark forever!

Because the nobles have cut off the king's head!

As soon as the head of King Dawan was cut off, bad news came from outside the city.

It is said that the Han army did not know what method was used, but it broke through the outer city of Guishan City, and the brave general defending the city was captured.

So the Dawan nobles immediately sent an envoy with the king's head to see Li Guangli... The nobles of Dawanguo, who have no stomach and stomach, but their brains are useful, are not just done with their heads, their purpose is very clear, that is, to use their heads to negotiate a deal with Li Guangli!

If you want to trade on an equal footing, you have to have enough leverage.

The chips in the hands of the Dawan nobles are enough to send Li Guangli away!

The envoy said to Li Guangli: "I have brought you the head of King Dawan. If you retire, we will also hand over all the sweat and blood horses, as many as you want; Also, it's not easy for you to travel all the way, and we can provide you with military food for free. But then again: if you don't accept the deal. Then we have only one last way: kill all the sweaty horses first, and then wait for the allies to send people to rescue. We die with you. It's hard to say who will win and who will lose."

After the Dawan negotiator finished speaking, Li Guangli was silent without expression.

Silence does not mean fear.

Li Guangli is calculating.

For Li Guangli, the other party moved out of Kangju Country and could only scare the people, how could he scare him away?

Because the nobles of Dawan did not know that when they betrayed their king, Kangjuguo was also preparing to betray them... The situation was as follows: 1,000 troops led by Wang Shensheng sent by Li Guangli attacked Yuchengcheng, almost all of them were wiped out, and several people fled.

After that, Li Guangli sent Shangguan Ji again.

This Shangguan Ji was more brave and broke through Yu Chengcheng in one fell swoop.

King Yu Cheng abandoned the city and fled to Kangjuguo.

Unexpectedly, this Shangguan Ji became addicted to it, and chased it all the way to Kang Juguo.

Shangguan Ji threatened King Kangju, "You must hand over King Yucheng, otherwise I will clean you up with you"

King Kangju knew the strength of the Han army, so he was so frightened by Shangguan Ji that he didn't dare to take a step out of the country... But now there is a kind of person lurking in Guishan City, which makes Li Guangli extremely uneasy.

These people who were worried by Li Guangli were some Han Chinese, and their specialty was digging wells for others.

According to the Dawan negotiators: Being able to provide military food to the Han army means that they have abundant food in the city, such as those Han people who came out of nowhere and dig wells for them to find water, and the two armies are dead, which is indeed a bit hanging?

Since there are so many variables, it is better to pick up a ready-made one.

In the end, Li Guangli decided: agree to the conditions of Dawanguo, ask for horses and food, and then withdraw his troops... According to the treaty, Dawan Kingdom really fulfilled its promise and handed over all the sweat and blood horses.

However, Li Guangli only selected dozens of good horses, and selected more than 3,000 middle horses and mares.

After choosing a horse, I asked for a lot of food.

In the end, Li Guanglijia did one thing, that is, to appoint a pro-Han dynasty nobleman named Yu Cai as the king of Dawan... After doing all this, the two countries held an oath and held a farewell ceremony, and Li Guangli finally withdrew his troops... At this time, that Shangguan Ji was still shouting for someone in Kang Juguo.

When King Kangju heard that the Kingdom of Dawan had surrendered, he handed over King Yucheng directly and calmed the matter.

Shangguan Ji selected four knights to tie up King Yu Cheng and escort him to Li Guangli.

On the way, for fear that King Yu Cheng would escape, Brother Zhao directly swung his sword and cut off King Yu Cheng's head and sent the head to Li Guangli.

This year, Zhang Chang, the great-great-grandson of Xuanping Marquis Zhang Ao and Marquis of Suiling, was stripped of Hou Guo on charges of being too often lacking in the ancestral hall.

In that year, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, made a total of 143 meritorious marquis, and then swore to everyone with the letter of the Book of Dan and the Alliance of the White Horse, "even if the Yellow River becomes a small stream and Mount Tai becomes a small stone, your feudal kingdom will always exist, and your descendants will continue to exist for generations"

However, with the continuous strengthening of centralized power, the 143 princes were reduced with Zhang Chang's knighthood, and only 3 people remained: Xiao Shoucheng, Marquis Miao, Li Shizong, Marquis of Fenyang, Jin Shi... At this point, Li Guangli decided to fight in the Western Regions.

In the spring of the 4th year of Taichu (BC101), during his journey back to China, the countries of the Western Regions opened cities to deliver water and food, and at the same time sent their children to Chang'an as hostages.

At this time, the scene is embarrassing.

Because the cost of victory is terrible.

There were only more than 10,000 Han troops left in Yumen Pass, and there were only more than 1,000 war horses.

However, Liu Che saw that the good horse was in hand, so he got his wish, not only personally made the song "West Pole Heavenly Horse" to commemorate this bloody war, but also issued an edict to entitle Li Guangli as the Marquis of Haixi, Zhao Di as the Marquis of Xinqi, Shangguan Ji as the Shaofu, and three other people were promoted to the Jiuqing senior officials of the Central Court, more than 100 people were promoted to the princes and state ministers, county guards and other 2,000 stone high-ranking officials, more than 1,000 people were appointed as officials at all levels below 1,000 stones, and Liu Che also took out 40,000 yuan to reward the whole army.

After the Battle of Dawan, the countries of the Western Regions were terrified, and Liu Che took advantage of the situation to build countless pavilions and barriers in the area from Dunhuang in the east to Yanze in the west (the Great Wall of the Western Han Dynasty extended to the Hexi Corridor), and set up hundreds of field guards in Luntai and canal ploughs, as well as envoys and captains to ensure the smooth flow of the Silk Road... When Li Guangli's army pressed on the Dawan Kingdom step by step, the Huns actually wanted to help the Dawan people, but in the end they couldn't help.

First of all, the strength of the Han army was too strong, and the Lihu Shan did not dare to act rashly.

Secondly, Lihu Shan Yu tried to block the return road of Li Guangli's army together with Loulan, but the news was intercepted by Ren Wen, a Han general stationed at Yumen Pass at that time, and Ren Wen immediately led his troops to question the king of Loulan

In the end, the ambush of the Huns did not succeed.

Immediately afterwards, Shan Yu died, and his younger brother and Marquis succeeded Shan Yu.

And not long after Hou Shan Yu took the throne, Liu Che sent someone to send him a sentence, which means about the following: Back then, my Emperor Gaozu was trapped in Pingcheng, and the scene of being almost besieged by you is still vivid.

Also, when Empress Lu was in power, you took the liberty of writing love letters to tease her old man, and to this day, it still hurts in my heart... In the end, Liu Che did not forget to summarize: throughout the ages, repaying debts and taking revenge are all unbreakable truths... Liu Che's meaning is very clear, he just wants to tell this Xiongnu Xinshan Yu: I, Liu Che, am going to prepare to avenge the ancestors and ancestors!

And Hou Hou Shan Yu was scared.

I have to be afraid, when Er Danyu took down Zhao Ponu, Liu Che had to deal with the Western Regions and endured it for the time being.

Now that the Western Regions have been dealt with, this iron-blooded son who has always been the best is of course ready to compete with the Huns again!
