Chapter 1692: Soldiers and Horses of the Lieutenant Territory (Page 1/1)

At that time, he had already sent an envoy to the countries of the Western Regions to ask for help, according to his idea, if he could use the advantage of the city to repel Lu Bu, it would be better, so that the reinforcements from the Western Regions could not enter Dunhuang, if it could not be successful, the reinforcements would alleviate the situation in Dunhuang.

At this point, Dong Wu is hoping that reinforcements will come soon.

Among the troops outside the city, Lu Bu's face was a little unpleasant, this was news from the Western Regions, the seven thousand soldiers and horses of the Western Regions Wei Li Guo were coming towards the Yumen Pass, if this kind of thing was not related to Dong Wu, it would be impossible.

When the Han Dynasty was strong, the Wei Li Kingdom was just a small country, with a population of only 50,000, but the number of soldiers in the army reached 8,000, and the proportion of such soldiers was extremely terrifying compared to the Han people, but it was a very common thing in the countries of the Western Regions.

In the eyes of the Han people, Liangzhou is barren and Dunhuang is barren, but in the eyes of the Western Regions, Liangzhou is rich, and it is worth them to go crazy for it, and attack the cities of the Han people, when the Han Dynasty is strong, they don't dare to do it at all, just the order of the Western Regions Changshi Mansion can make the countries with such thoughts disappear, but after the Han Dynasty gradually weakened, there are more and more countries with such ideas.

They want to enter the Han Dynasty, they want to get more wealth, and more often than not, they have the same idea as the Qiang people, and if the Han people can occupy rich places, they can do the same.

"Lord, Wei Li Guo only has 7,000 soldiers and horses, so there is no need to be afraid, but if Wei Li Guo cannot be punished, the prestige of the Han Dynasty will be even weaker in the Changshi Mansion." Pang Tongdao naturally did not have any good feelings about such aggressive actions of the Western Regions countries.

The countries of the Western Regions were just vassals of the Han Dynasty in the past, and some of them were destroyed, or even just needed a word from the emperor.

That was in the case of the strong Han Dynasty, and now the strength of the Han Dynasty is weakening, and the influence in the Western Regions countries has gradually decreased, and the deterrence against them has naturally become smaller, and Dong Wu sent people to ask for help, Wei Liguo was naturally overjoyed, these years, Wei Liguo has been thinking about how to enter Liangzhou and obtain more benefits, but now this opportunity is in front of them.

"Shiyuan's words are very true, but the strength of Wei Li State categorically cannot enter the Yumen Pass, this is the bottom line of this king, the countries of the Western Regions covet the Han, if they are allowed to enter Liangzhou, what majesty will there be." Lu Bu said in a deep voice: "This king wants to let the countries of the Western Regions understand that even if the current strength of the Great Han is weak, it is not something that Guo Jia like them can invade. ”

The strategists in the tent felt a pang in their hearts when they heard this, and their eyes at Lu Bu were more respectful, and Lu Bu's words revealed not only strong confidence, but also ambition.

In the eyes of the princes of the Central Plains, it is not of much significance to pacify the countries of the Western Regions, after all, the countries of the Western Regions are very far away from the Central Plains, as long as the world is pacified, it is not too late to clean up the countries of the Western Regions.

Over the years, the countries of the Western Regions have given them the feeling of being weak, as long as they have a large army, they can be easily pacified, but they ignore the ambitions of the countries of the Western Regions under oppression, they also think that they can make the country stronger, and the way to become strong is to continuously develop the strength of the army.

The countries of the Western Regions are desolate compared to the Han Dynasty, and it is very likely that there will be no people for ten miles, and in this case, the soldiers of the countries of the Western Regions are also exceptionally brave and good at fighting.

The thirty-six countries of the Western Regions are just a name, in fact, the countries of the Western Regions have been changing over the years, small countries have been destroyed, and it is very likely that large countries will weaken, and the countries that have risen in this environment can imagine how strong their strength is.

And Lu Bu's goal now is to temporarily stabilize Liangzhou, the Western Regions countries, it is naturally good to be able to deter them, the road from Chang'an to the Western Regions countries is far away, and it is extremely difficult for the army to fight, just the transportation of grain and grass is a huge consumption, and this time the conquest of Liangzhou has already paid a lot of price.

The countries of the Western Regions were pacified in the future, and they also echoed the interests of Chang'an, and the strength of the princes became stronger and stronger, and if the development of the Western Regions was affected because of the affairs of the Western Regions, the gains outweighed the losses.

However, Wei Liguo's contempt for the majesty of the Han at this time cannot be let go.

"Order Zhang He to occupy Yumen Pass as quickly as possible, so that Wei Liguo's army cannot set foot in Yumen Pass." Lu Bu ordered.

Yumen Pass, is an important checkpoint to defend the Han Dynasty, but also from the Western Regions into Liangzhou must pass through, the Western Regions countries invade Liangzhou, must conquer the Yumen Pass, in the personal strength of the soldiers, the soldiers of the Western Regions may be powerful, but in the construction of blades, armor and equipment, the Western Regions and the Han must have a big gap, at this point, the Han is far ahead of them, otherwise, the Western Regions countries will not spend a lot of money to buy blades and armor from Liangzhou.

The guard of Yumen Pass is Yu Fan, Yu Fan has always been unknown among the generals in Dunhuang, but his contribution to guarding Yumen Pass cannot be erased, even when Chen Ying, Yu Fan is also praised.

After learning the news that Chen Ying was killed for Dong Wu in Dunhuang City, Yu Fan's mood could not be calm, over the years, Chen Ying had seen the efforts made by Dunhuang County, and it was not a good choice to take refuge in Yu Fan, the king of Jin, he was a general with his own ideas.

Yu Fan's mission is to guard the Yumen Pass, making it difficult for the Western Regions to set foot in Liangzhou, the Yumen Pass is the place where Yu Fan paid great sacrifices, when he first came to the Yumen Pass, the Yumen Pass has been slightly decayed, the city wall lacks repair all the year round, in the face of the enemy's attack, it will be a great problem, it is in such a money situation, Chen Ying gave Yu Fan great support, and ordered Yu Fan to repair the Yumen Pass.

At that time, Yu Fan knew the situation in Dunhuang County, and from that time on, Yu Fan had a special affection for Chen Ying, not to mention belonging, but he admired Chen Ying.

Over the years, there have been many caravans in and out of Yumen Pass, some from the Western Regions, and some from Dunhuang County to the Western Regions.
