The country bordering Wusun has the largest area and the most serious losses. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Therefore, as soon as Bai Li, the king of Qiuzi, heard Sima Yi's question, he immediately said: "Mr. Sima, Wusun was originally divided and ruled by large and small Kunmi, and the national strength is not strong. Unexpectedly, Xiao Kunmi was mediocre, only knew how to spend time and wine, and was not popular with the people, and was swallowed up by the big Kunmi Qiang Momi, who was shrewd and capable, and took Chigu City as the capital, calling himself Kunmo. Wusun has a large population, with more than 100,000 soldiers, and Qiang Momi is constantly looking for opportunities to provoke and force us to pay tribute. Qiang Mo is excessive, we are miserable, once the tribute is delayed, the Wusun army will be killed immediately. ”

Sima Yi nodded and said, "I don't know how Wusun Kunmo uses soldiers?" What is the combat power of the Wusun soldiers? ”

Bai Li said with a sad face: "Qiang Momi can be said to use soldiers like gods, Wusun cavalry and horses are all from Dawan, come and go like the wind, our country has few soldiers, can only avoid its edge, and the persecuted people of our people continue to move." ”

When Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, and Hou Junji heard this, their eyes widened, Dawan Shenju, that is what the generals dream of.

Legend has it that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Li Guangli to Dawan several times in order to get a bloody horse. Li Guangli is known as the general of the second division because of the sweat and blood of the BMW near the city of Dawan second division. Li Guangli's first expedition failed, and he went on another expedition, breaking through the city of the second division, and won countless treasures, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very happy, and named Li Guangli as the general of the second division.

Pei Dang, the king of Shule, also said: "Mr. Sima, the elite Wusun cavalry is really difficult to resist. ”

Shule is located in the westernmost part of the southern part of the Western Regions, on the present-day Pamir Plateau, separated from the Great Moon Clan by the Green Mountains in the southwest. The capital of Shule was near the city of Kashgar in later generations. A small part of Shule borders Wusun, and it seems that Wusun is also looking for things about Shule.

The king of the rear of the chariot division, Aluodo, also said indignantly: "Mr. Sima, Wusun deceives people too much, and we and the other six countries have joined forces to fight, but they are not Wusun's opponents. Its cavalry crisscrossed the desert with ease, fast as the wind, and often sneak attacked, making it impossible to guard against. ”

Compared with other countries, Shanshan and Khotan were the least harassed by Wusun, and neither of the two countries had a king in person, but only sent envoys with interpreters.

The national strength of Yanqi is weak, and it is even more miserable under the invasion of Wusun State, and its king Long Ji said to Sima Yi with tears in his eyes: "Wusun has broken through Zuohui and Yuli several times, and the national capital is in danger. ”

Sima Yi was silent for a while, and said: "Haitou is more than 3,000 miles away from Chigu City, if you want to go on an expedition, you need all countries to have the same hatred and hatred, and you must not have two hearts. The terrain of the Western Regions is complex and the climate is impermanent, and the Tang Army's grain, grass, and baggage are still expected to be bothered by the kings of various countries to prepare. In addition, when going out to Wusun, when it was a blow, it was hoped that all countries would send troops and horses to assist in the battle. ”

King Qiuzi was the first to respond, Yanqi, Shule, and the king of the rear of the Cheshi also nodded in agreement, and the envoys of Shanshan and Khotan hesitated, and Sima Yi said sharply: "If Shanshan and Khotan do not have a single soldier, when they break through Wusun, I will destroy them!" The two envoys returned to the king, and their lips were cold and their teeth were cold, and they would not be ignorant of such a simple truth. ”

Shanshan's real name is Loulan. At that time, Buddhism spread to the east, and the countries of the Western Regions were the first to be affected, and the people of the Western Regions believed in Buddhism. Shanshan was influenced by Buddhism and changed the name of the country to Shanshan. The name of the capital of the country is Mud City, which is near Ruoqiang in later generations. King Shanshan is rumored to be the descendant of Xia Yu, his surname is Xi, the Xia Dynasty fell, the descendants of Dayu did not want to be enslaved by Yin Shang, and then moved west, came to the Western Regions, spread civilization, taught to farm, and became the king in the local area. Passed to the end of the Han Dynasty, the descendants of Dayu have long been without the ancestral surname, and today its king is named Suketi, and the surname of Ji has long been incompatible.

There may not be many people in Khotan who know, but when it comes to Hetian Yulai, I'm afraid no one doesn't know. In the south of Khotan is the towering Kunlun Mountain, west of the Green Ridge, the country surname is Wei Chi.

The envoys of Shanshan and Yu Ning saw that Sima Yi was angry, and hurriedly said: "When I return to China, I will try my best to persuade the king to send troops to help." ”

Sima Yi knew that if there were no locals as guides, it would be easy to get lost in this vast land, so he tried every means to tie the six countries of the Western Regions to the chariot.

Sima Yi and the Six Kingdoms agreed that at the beginning of May of the fifth year of Wude, they would meet in Gumocheng, Qiuci State.

………………

The Tang army, with more than 50,000 horses, marched to Gumo along the Green Ridge River (later Tarim River) under the guidance of guides sent by King Yanqi.

Puchanghai is more than 2,000 miles away from Gumo, and the army is brave from the wind and sand, and the march is extremely difficult. The Green Ridge River does not have water all the way, and in some places the river water seeps into the ground, forming an underground river, which is not visible on the surface, but it is like a desert. It is very dangerous to march in such a place.

At this time, the role of the guide is highlighted.

After a month of arduous trekking, they finally came to Gumo, and from top to bottom, everyone seemed to have taken off a layer of skin and was exhausted.

Zhao Yun and Sima Yi ordered the army to rest, regain their strength, and wait for the arrival of the soldiers of the Six Kingdoms.

After waiting for another half a month, that is, in mid-May, the soldiers of the six countries arrived.

And after more than half a month of rest, the Tang army has already recovered its strength.

Emperor Wude of the Tang Dynasty, brother of the righteous brother, Zhao Yun, a general of the cavalry, and Sima Yi, one of the ministers of the Tang Dynasty, personally led the troops to the battle, and the kings of the six countries did not dare to support the great, so they all rushed in person.

Zhao Yun and Sima Yi gathered everyone and told them the information they had obtained, and when everyone understood, they said: "The Wusun people are greedy, if we can try to lure them, our army will surround them, and we will be able to annihilate their main force." ”

Bai Li, the king of Qiuzi, said angrily: "I am willing to lead my troops forward." ”

Sima Yi asked, "I don't know how the king seduced the Wusun people?" ”

Bai Li said: "I will bring more baggage with 3,000 men and horses, and the Wusun cavalry will come and plunder." ”

Sima Yi asked again: "How many cavalry can Wusun send in this way?" ”

Bai Li thought for a moment and said, "Five thousand is enough." ”

Sima Yi said: "In this case, even if we completely annihilate these troops, what is the use? ”

Bailey was speechless. For Wusun, who has an army of more than 100,000 people, the loss of 5,000 men and horses is really just an itch of scabies, and it has no effect at all.

Sima Yi looked at the big figures in the Western Regions present and asked, "Do you know how many people can reach the caravan that can go back and forth?" ”

Wang Aluodo, the rear of the chariot division, said: "The Western Regions are unstable, and caravans are often formed into convoys, and many can reach tens of thousands. ”

Sima Yi said with a smile: "I intend to let the Six-Nation Alliance pretend to be merchants, bring more goods and goods, and swagger by." When Wusun heard this, he would inevitably send a large army to come. The coalition forces drove the camels and fought and left, and they were sure to lure the Wusun into an ambush. ”

Pei Dang, the king of Shule, gasped, the appetite of this military minister of the Tang Dynasty was too great, the alliance of the six countries was full of 30,000, and the Wusun people wanted to get the goods, so they would have to mobilize 50,000 horses. 50,000 horses are half of the soldiers of Wusun Kingdom.

He thought for a moment and asked, "The Tang army is 50,000, why do you hide your body in this desert land?" If it is detected by the Wusun people, the army will be in vain. ”

Sima Yi said: "There are few oases in the south of Weitou City, and our army has its own way to hide its body and prevent the Wusun people from discovering it. ”

Seeing that Sima Yi was full of confidence, the coalition forces were in a relaxed mood, and immediately expressed their support.

The kings of the six countries were so desperate that they didn't dare to lead the team in person, so they handed over the men and horses to their cronies, and secretly instructed that when they saw the Wusun people, they should be quick with their hands and feet, and run to the predetermined place to be safe.

Thirty thousand horses, some disguised as merchants, others disguised as escorts, drove thousands of camels through the desert, and hurried to Shule.

………………

In Akaya Castle, Qiang Momi drank grape wine, listened to the report of his subordinates, and asked in disbelief: "What?" Three thousand camels? ”

Qiang Mo's eyes went straight to Venus, and this treasure came too suddenly.

His cronies, the general Budu, said: "You can't be wrong. This is a windfall, my lord, and it has been a long time since such a large caravan has passed. ”

Qiang Momi said: "There are too many caravans, so beware of fraud. ”

Budu said: "My lord, this caravan is dressed in different clothes, and our spies have mixed in with the team and talked to them in a variety of languages. I think I must have known that the Western Regions were unstable, and I don't know how many caravans were organized together to cross the desert together. ”

Qiang Momi said thoughtfully: "Mm-hmm...... Reasonable. Budu, there are too many people on the other side, you lead 50,000 horses, outflank them separately, how many can you take, don't be too greedy, I always feel that there must be something greasy in it. ”

Budu said: "Which of the caravans traveling to and from the Western Regions has not hired guards with a lot of money? Is the king too worried? ”

Qiang Momi said: "I'm just surprised that this caravan came suddenly. If there really was such a large caravan, our spies should have discovered it a long time ago. ”

Budu hesitated: "Maybe the caravan came through Shanshan, or maybe they met halfway and gathered together. ”

Qiang Momi waved his hand and said, "Okay, no need to say more." With such a splash of wealth, don't care what way he comes from, it's the right thing to take it, you can arrange it. ”

Budu was overjoyed, ordered 50,000 cavalry, first sent out scout horses, and left Akaya Castle in a swarm to rob the goods.

………………

Most of the territory of Usun in later generations already belonged to Russia, stretching from the Tien Shan Mountains in the south to Lake Balkhash in the north.

The Wusun people were oppressed by the Xiongnu and Xianbei, and continued to move westward, and the capital Chigu City was at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains. Relying on the Tianshan Mountains, the Wusun people escaped the scourge of extermination. Especially twenty years ago, the Xianbei and Xiongnu were destroyed by a general of the Han Dynasty, and the Wusun people got an unprecedented opportunity for development.

After twenty years of recuperation, the Wusun Kingdom is now powerful, and even invincible to the countries of the Western Regions.

Budu received a report from Tanma that the caravan was walking more than 200 miles west of Gumo City.

For the defenders of Gumo, Budu didn't care about it at all, and he could still pretend to hide in the city, and if he fought in the field, it was not enough for the Wusun people to stuff their teeth.

Budu set out from Akiti Castle, led his men and horses to the front of the caravan, and set up a pocket formation, ready for a surprise attack.
