Chapter 1716: King Yuli
Chapter 1716: King Yuli (Page 1/1)
"The lord is wise." Although the two felt that Lu Bu's order was a little inappropriate, it was still very exciting to get Jingzhou.
From Lu Bu's order, Guo Jia and Li Ru could feel that Lu Bu attached great importance to Sun Quan, the new master of Jiangdong, and thinking of Lu Bu's vision in the past, Guo Jia had some understanding.
Just like the fierce generals Huang Zhong and Wei Yan in the current army, they were unknown in Jingzhou before, but they had such achievements under Lu Bu.
Wei Li is an important place in the Wei Li Kingdom, the living conditions here are still very good, the proximity to the Qin Sea and the Que River, so that they do not need to worry about the water problem to a greater extent, the soldiers of the Wei Li Kingdom have shown their strong strength in the previous battles.
King Yuli can be said to be salivating for the territory of the Han Dynasty, especially after the merchants who went to Liangzhou spread how the Han people lived in the Weili Kingdom, so that the King of Weili had a new goal, that is, to break through the Yumen Pass, so that the people of the Weili Kingdom can live in the territory of the Han people, and the news passed back from the merchants can know that the current Liangzhou chaos, the Qiang people who were originally managed by the Han people can occupy a place in Liangzhou, not to mention the brave soldiers of the Wei Li State.
Dong Wu sent a fast horse to ask for help, so that King Wei Li saw the opportunity, as long as the army took advantage of the situation to seize the Yumen Pass, it was not easy to break Dunhuang.
Compared with the Han Dynasty, the strength of Wei Li Guo is still a little weak, but after the capture of Dunhuang, you can slowly try to it, and then occupy more cities, as long as you can live within the territory of the Han Dynasty, it is of great significance to Wei Li Guo.
This is a huge temptation, breaking through the Yumen Pass has become the most desired thing for the king of Yuli, and the 7,000 army went to the Yumen Pass, not only to support Dong Wu, but also to entrust the ambition of the king of Yuli.
However, what he didn't expect was that the soldiers and horses of Wei Li were defeated by the Han army outside the Yumen Pass, and the Han army that defeated them was only 3,000 people, and the warriors of the 7,000 Wei Li Kingdom were only left with more than 4,000 people after returning to Wei Li.
Na Yanqi led an army of 7,000 to Liangzhou, but the news of the loss of troops and generals spread in Weili, which caused a lot of shock in Weili.
In Weili, Qingzhuang did not have enough awe of the Han, they saw more of the weak side of the Han, but among the old people was circulating the remarks of how strong the Han was, thinking of the situation of the Western Regions Protectorate, it was difficult for Qingzhuang to believe the words of these old people, in their opinion, the Han was weak, as long as they entered the city of the Han Dynasty, they could get more benefits, the porcelain, silk and other things brought by the merchants from the Han Dynasty were extremely popular in the Western Regions, but these things were only enjoyed by the upper class characters.
After the defeat of the army of Wei Li, King Wei Li was very disappointed, he looked at the seal given by the Han in front of him, and fell into deep thought.
When King Yuli was young, the Han Dynasty was a respectable existence in the eyes of the Western Regions, and the officials of the Han people were all high in their eyes, but with the improvement of strength, he had greater ambitions, he needed more territory, and the surrounding countries could no longer meet his ambitions, and he wanted to enter the territory of the Han Dynasty, and this mood was extremely urgent.
Although the Han Dynasty was weakened, the soldiers stationed at Yumen Pass became an insurmountable moat, and with the topography of Yumen Pass, the Han army repelled the soldiers and horses of Wei Li again and again.
In previous battles, the Han army gave them the feeling of being tenacious, but not as strong as the legend, and it was in this situation that King Weili's ambition gradually grew, and he wanted to get more benefits from the Han people.
The defeat gave King Wei Li a head start, and he suddenly felt that the strength of the original Han army was still so strong, but the army of the Han Dynasty did not take into account the countries of the Western Regions for the time being.
"Order, let Nayanqi come to see the king." King Lieutenant commanded.
After Na Yanqi arrived at the palace, after telling in detail what happened outside the Jade Gate Pass, the atmosphere in the venue was a little solemn for a while.
"Before, it was this king who underestimated the strength of the Han army." King Yuli sighed.
"Your Majesty, if the Han army is so strong, if it sends troops to Weili, wouldn't Weili be dangerous?" Na Yanqi suddenly thought of this possibility, the same thing was put on him, and he would choose to do it.
King Weili's face changed slightly, but he still shook his head, "After a series of wars in the Han Dynasty, I heard that now the princes in the Han Dynasty have risen together, disobeying the orders of the Han family, and attacking each other, how can they take care of the affairs of the Western Regions." ”
Na Yanqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, he didn't want to face the Han army anymore, especially the scene when the Han army's terrifying cavalry charged, Na Yanqi will never forget it, he has no doubt that if Wei Liguo's army stays outside the Yumen Pass to fight the Han army to the end, the final outcome will definitely be a rout.
A failed retreat has a very different meaning than a rout, and even so, Wei Li Guo lost nearly 3,000 soldiers and horses in this engagement.
"And now the prince who occupies Liangzhou is Lu Bu, the king of Jin?" King Yuli asked.
Na Yanqi nodded with a heavy face, after the failure of the Yumen Pass, he conducted a more detailed investigation of Lu Bu's news, of course, the news he got was likely to be incomplete, which was inevitable, but some big things were found a lot.
"Lu Bu, the king of Jin, is the strongest among the princes of the Han Dynasty...... "Na Yanqi recounted the news he got in detail.
"After you return to the army, select young people to be incorporated into the army." King Lieutenant commanded.
The next day, King Yuli got the news that the Han army sent troops, at this time the Han army was only a day's journey from Weili, not that Weili did not pay attention to the surrounding situation, but that the soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty had not entered the Western Regions for many years, so they relaxed their vigilance.
After the news of the imminent arrival of the soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty spread in Wei Li, Wei Li was even more turbulent, Wei Li said that it was a city, but the name of the people of Wei Li was just that, the city wall was low, and the palace of the king of Wei Li was not as good as the Taishou Mansion of a county in the Han Dynasty, even so, it has become an important symbol of Wei Li country, and those who can live in the city are the most important people in Wei Li country, and ordinary people are proud to be able to live in the city.
If there is no news of the defeat of the soldiers and horses of the former Wei Li State outside the Yumen Pass, the arrival of the Han army will not cause much turmoil to the Wei Li Kingdom, because more of the young and strong among them have not seen the Han army, and their understanding of the Han army is just some rumors.
