In just half a month, Shanshan and Weiwei were cleaned up by the Zhao army from beginning to end, and within the two countries, all the royal clans, except for important people who were escorted to Dunhuang, the rest were all beheaded.

And the big clans in the two countries, whether they were Han or other peoples, were killed by the Zhao army in the siege of the city. The property of the family was also confiscated and became the property of the government. Without him, because the property of these great clans and powerful people has no descendants and close relatives to inherit, they all died in the chaos.

In late autumn, the results of the war in the northwest were finally sent to Zhao Xun.

"Well done!"

Zhao Xun secretly applauded, and Situ Liang and the others were also overjoyed. Winning Shanshan and Weiwei means that the land of Liangzhou will be restored to its old appearance and the level of the middle period of Da Yan will be restored. And taking these two places is equivalent to intercepting the countries of the Western Regions outside the borders. Zhao Jun's next actions can completely put aside the influence of the countries of the Western Regions. At the very least, it can defend itself against the enemy. The significance of this victory is not trivial.

"Lord, although these two places have been won, Lord Wei also said that there is a problem, these two times the sparse population, especially the proportion of Han people, is too small, which is not conducive to our rule." Pei Yi said in a deep voice.

Situ Liang said: "Not only that, but now the land of the five western provinces is not connected to my Great Zhao, and it is difficult for us to provide effective support. And the land of the five northwestern provinces is difficult to support too many troops, and in the face of the pressure of the countries of the Western Regions, it may be difficult to support. Although the countries of the Western Regions have not directly sent troops yet, the actions of our army this time will definitely make Gaochang and other countries feel threatened. Coupled with the secret contact of the Liangzhou army, the possibility of Gaochang and other countries sending troops is still very high. ”

Therefore, his subordinates believe that Lord Wei's construction is still feasible. In the territory of the two places of Sinna, let those foreigners build the city and defend it. On the one hand, it can reduce the pressure on defense, and on the other hand, it can also reduce the foreign population. ”

"In addition, the army of Yanju Prefecture can be ordered to go directly to the west and take Ganzhou Prefecture and Suzhou Prefecture, so as to open up contact with the five northwestern prefectures as much as possible and complete the exchange. After that, our side will not only be able to support militarily, but also relocate the people to fill the population gap in the five northwestern provinces. ”

Zhao Xun nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Give the army of Yanju Mansion an order to attack to the west immediately." An order was given to the Southern Route Army in Lingzhou Mansion to increase their attack and attract the Liangzhou Army to move south. As for those two arrogant and self-reliant so-called kings, they will be killed on the spot! Xu Ye made this great contribution and was named General Wuwei! ”

King Zhao ordered, and Dunhuang immediately took action. Shanshan and not the two countries were changed to Shanshan and not two prefectures, and the county system was established. He also ordered the people of the two places to build cities, and moved more than 2,000 Han families from Dunhuang and Jiuquan to settle in the two places. In order to balance the gap between the two Hanyi.

According to the regulations, five cities were built in each of the two places, and the original towns were expanded. The people of the two places are all mobilized, and those who do not obey die.

And the lonely kings of the two countries were also killed by Zhao Jun in public, and this move was also a warning to the people in Liangzhou and the Western Regions that anyone who opposed the Zhao army and anyone who dared to secede and stand on their own will be razed to their clan.

And all the people in the three northwestern provinces who have made contributions in this battle have been rewarded. And Xu Ye, officially because of this battle, has been promoted to general by the captain.

"General Xu, good job! The lord has an order to make General Xu the deputy general of the third town, that is to say, from now on, you and I will be the same army. Ha ha...... It is Xue's honor to cooperate with General Xu. Xue Qinglan and Xu Ye rode horses and stood on the hills, watching tens of thousands of people from the two places building a new city.

"The general is false! This time it was able to achieve such results, thanks to the lives of the generals under his command. ”

"Alright...... You and I are both soldiers, so there is no need to say anything more about this kind of prevarication......"

"General!"

In the distance, a scout rushed to Xue Qinglan and reported: "General Qiyu, a hundred miles west of Jiweifu, we found a large number of Wusun people approaching, and even attacked the caravan that passed from here. ”

Xue Qinglan was stunned and said: Wusun people? And now someone is still coming to fight our idea? However, this Wusun people came to the east and even provoked the Zhao army, which is a bad sign.

Xue Qinglan immediately said to Xu Ye: "General Xu, do you know any big Wusun tribes or countries around?" ”

Xu Ye said in a deep voice: "To the west of us, there are quite a few Wusun people, and the nearest one is the Tulun Tribe. But it stands to reason that if we take this place, they shouldn't attack us. You shouldn't have attacked a caravan. And what they need is the caravan passing here to replenish the supplies they need. General, if nothing else, this must be the result of the secret instigation of other countries. Xu Ye told Xue Qinglan in detail about the situation around the land of the two mansions.

Xue Qinglan's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "The countries of the Western Regions in the west, such as Yanqi, Qiuzi, Shule, Khotan, and Gaochang, all have other ideas about Liangzhou, and they naturally don't want the land of Liangzhou to be occupied by a strong lord. Now, our Zhao army has taken the three northwestern prefectures, destroyed the two countries they supported, and even built cities and relocated the people in a big fight. Naturally, they won't stop there, but they can't figure us out, and this temptation is inevitable. ”

"The general's intention is to defeat the Wusun people in the west?"

Xue Qinglan said coldly: "It's not to defeat, but to swallow this tribe!" That's a lot of people! These countries in the Western Regions really think that our Zhao army is as vulnerable as the Liangzhou army. In this operation, they were about to be beaten with fear, and they did not dare to commit lightly. ”

"Now within the two places, the defenders are only 6,000, and the army is dispatched, but I am afraid of ......"

"It doesn't matter, although there are only 6,000 elites in these two places, there are still 4,000 new soldiers. It is no problem for them to keep an eye on the two provinces and confuse the enemy army. I can't say how long we can hide it, but if we can drag it out for two days, we will be able to win. Xue Qinglan said in a deep voice.

"The general is saying that he will bring those 4,000 soldiers with him in this battle?" Xu Ye frowned and said, "Although they are loyal to Da Zhao now, their combat strength is probably too far from our cavalry. Originally, they were used as local government soldiers and county soldiers, as war soldiers, and they were afraid that they would have to continue training. ”

Immediately, Xu Ye smiled bitterly and said: "However, the combat power of my sergeants is far from comparable to them. Even the equipment of the soldiers is not comparable to them. ”

Xue Qinglan said in a deep voice: "If you want to make a contribution to the battle this time, if you don't mobilize them, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve the greatest success." In this case, I will personally lead our cavalry in front and kill the enemy outpost. General Xu took them with him and assisted us in fighting a tailwind battle when we attacked the Tulun Tribe. Of course, in the end, it was no problem to assist us in guarding the prisoners and collecting the booty. ”

"Oh well! Since the general has this heart, then the general will accompany the general to fight against the Tulun tribe. ”

Immediately, five thousand cavalry of the Zhao army followed Xue Qinglan and ran in the direction of the west.

A hundred miles west of the Cliff Mansion, a troop of 3,000 men was encamped here. The leader of this army is called Tuman, the brother of the great chief of the Tulun tribe, and the Zhao army has captured and not two countries, which originally had little to do with them, as long as the Zhao army does not come to attack them, they also hope that the Zhao army can maintain the past trade route. Therefore, after learning the news that the country was captured by the Zhao army, they did not provoke the Zhao army.

However, a few days earlier, their leader had reached an agreement with several countries in the west to attack the Zhao army. Of course, they also heard that there were not many Zhao troops in the west of Liangzhou, and they were alone, with no reinforcements behind, and the Liangzhou army was also attacking them in the east. The Tulum tribe learned of the situation and knew that if this battle was won, then they would also get a lot of benefits.

As a result, the Tulun tribe began to prepare for an attack on the country. In their opinion, the Zhao army built a city in Jiweifu because it was a lack of troops and it was difficult to resist, so they were ready to build a city to defend it.

"General, five miles ahead is the other party's camp, a total of 3,000 people, they have already set up camp here at the moment, ready to rest here for the night."

Xue Qinglan nodded and said: "Very good, the first and second battalions will charge with the general, the third and fourth battalions will be on the left and right, and the fifth battalion will detour to the rear of the enemy battalion. The little Wusun tribe also dared to fight my Zhao Jun's idea, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead. ”

The 3rd, 4th, and 53rd Battalions immediately rushed to the left and right, slowing down their speed to form a large circle, which was wrapped around the enemy's large circle five miles away.

Not long after, news came from the left and right that the third battalion had arrived at the designated position. Xue Qinglan looked at the enemy camp in the dim twilight in the distance, and ordered in a cold voice: "The whole army is ready, rush and kill me!" ”

In an instant, two thousand cavalry followed closely behind Xue Qinglan and rushed towards the Tulun camp five miles away. The rumbling sound suddenly shook the sky, startling the entire Wusun camp. Suddenly, the Wusun camp was in turmoil.

Zhao Jun ...... It's Zhao Jun...... Damn, how did they end up here? Counterattack! With a bow and arrow! Shoot each other's horses! In the shouting of the officers, the three thousand Wusun troops who looked like headless flies reluctantly began to assemble, raising their bows and arrows, ready to attack the rushing Zhao army.

"Than a bow and arrow? Will I be afraid? The whole army is ready, rain of arrows! ”

"Woo Woo ......"

Above the two thousand cavalry, a black cloud suddenly flew out in a buzzing sound. The black clouds slid across the sky, and in a moment they fell on the Wusun soldiers. The Wusun soldiers didn't have such good armor as Zhao Jun, and they suddenly fell a large piece. And the arrows of the Wusun people only brought some casualties to the Zhao army. Zhao Jun's soldiers are all armored. Especially in the critical places, it is a delicate armor protection.

Just after two rounds of arrow rain, the cavalry of the Zhao army entered the camp of the Wusun people.

"Fight back! Fight back! Tu Man roared bitterly, he never thought that he would encounter a sneak attack by Zhao Jun. Didn't you say that the Zhao army was insufficient? Why is this happening?

At this moment, there was a great chaos on both sides and behind the Wusun army, on both sides and behind them, a cavalry of the Zhao army with more than 1,000 people suddenly killed, like a sharp knife, stabbing the Wusun people all over the body, killing the Wusun people on their backs, and the corpses were all over the ground.

"In the middle of the ambush...... We fell into the ambush of the Zhao army......" The Wusun soldiers were suddenly frightened and shouted in horror, and they scattered and fled, but all around the camp were Zhao soldiers, where could they flee?

In the end, this Wusun army was completely submerged here, and its leader, Tuman, was also beheaded by the Zhao army.

"After a short rest, we will continue our march and will definitely annihilate the Tulun tribe!"

…………

The Tulun tribe is composed of more than a dozen small tribes, and they are distributed in the semi-grassland and half-Gobi desert nearly 1,000 miles north and south to the west of Jiweifu. This time to attack the Zhao army, they originally had no such intention. However, according to Gaochang and other countries, the Zhao army does not have many troops now, and it can be swallowed completely. Otherwise, when the Zhao army's reinforcements come in the future, with the Zhao army's arrogant state, his Tulun department will be wiped out by the Zhao army sooner or later, just like the Wei country. Therefore, the Tulun Ministry will send people to test it. Therefore, at this moment, in the center of the Tulun Ministry, 15,000 soldiers and soldiers of the Tulun Department have been gathered.

About fifteen or sixteen miles southeast of the Tulun camp was a gentle hill, covered with dense forests, which stretched for dozens of miles, and spread all the way to the territory of the prefecture. This forest is also the only woodland in the southern part of the Tulum region, and it is also a natural protective net to the east of the Tulun region.

And at this moment, in front of a section of forest in the south, a dense crowd of cavalry poured out, and there were thousands of people. They were the cavalry of the Zhao army brought by Xue Qinglan personally and rushed from the Weifu Mansion. In addition to the 5,000 cavalry of the Zhao army, there were also 4,000 Shanshan and not two soldiers under the leadership of Xu Ye.

These soldiers are more qualified soldiers selected from the original soldiers of the two countries, their equipment is far worse than the equipment of the Zhao army, there is no armor, they are all simple cloth armor and leather armor, weapons are mainly spears, spears, with knives and bows and arrows, but their morale is good. After all, after training behind Zhao Jun for more than ten days, coupled with Zhao Jun's military regulations and military discipline and treatment, they are not high. Their family members are all in the land of the two provinces and enjoy better treatment, and they can't help but fight for the Zhao army. Of course, more importantly, they participated in the killing of the powerful clans and kings of the two kingdoms, and their hands were stained with the blood of these powerful clans and royal families.

Xue Qinglan was at the front of the team, holding a spear in his hand, coldly staring at the clearly visible firelight several miles away, where they were aiming this time. As long as the more than 10,000 troops there are destroyed, the Tulun tribe will no longer pose any threat.

Xu Ye, who was next to Xue Qinglan, said, "General, it seems that this Tulun subordinate is still waiting for the news of the soldiers who went to test us!" These bastards, who simply don't know whether they are alive or dead, have not even arranged for a sentry. ”

Xue Qinglan said with a smile: "This is the headquarters of the Tulun Tribe, how could they have thought that we would come through the mountains?" There were no sentinels, just like our night attack. ”

"Let the scouts go up and get rid of the patrols and guards around the camp first. So that we can get close before we launch a sneak attack. This operation, after they rested, was to be broken in one fell swoop, so that they would completely cease to exist. ”

Teams of scouts were sent out and disappeared from view. These scouts are the elite of the cavalry of the Zhao army, and it is naturally easy to deal with the guards and patrol soldiers of the other party, not to mention, the people here have no idea that there will be foreign invasions here, and the guards are not tight.

A moment later, a cavalryman galloped up, clasped his fists on his horse, and saluted: "General Qiyu, the scout has sent news that the opponent's sentry posts have all been killed. ”

"Well done!" Xue Qinglan exclaimed, and immediately turned around and ordered, "Kill the enemy camp and take the merit with your head!" Anyone with a weapon will be killed! ”

Thousands of horses galloped in the forest, and under the cool full moon, the overwhelming Zhao army was like a river bursting its embankment, galloping, and killing the Tulun camp a few miles away......

At this time, the soldiers, chiefs and chiefs of the Tulun tribe were alarmed by the sound of horses' hooves, and they all stood up and looked to the east in horror, and after a while, someone shouted, "The Zhao army is coming!" Zhao Jun is here! ”

Tuhe, the leader of the Tulun tribe who had just come out of the camp, and the tribal nobles saw that in the darkness of the east, the army that could not be seen was sweeping towards them, and they were so frightened that they turned around and stumbled to the rear, but it was too late, and the forward of the Zhao army was already rushing in like a tsunami flood.

"Kill! Anyone with a weapon will be killed! Xue Qinglan stabbed with a spear, and immediately stabbed to death a small colonel of the Tulun Department, shouting loudly.

Sneak attack on the enemy camp, but the Tulun troops are defenseless. The morale of Sergeant Zhao became more and more excited, and the army was like a rainbow, rushing into the camp of the soldiers who had only been built in Tulun not long ago, most of the more than 15,000 soldiers were asleep, and some were awake and at a loss. They never expected that the Zhao army would cross the area of two or three hundred miles and appear in the camp of the tribe headquarters.

One tent after another was cut and collapsed, and the soldiers of the Tulun tribe were terrified when they woke up from their dreams, they cried and fled in all directions, but they could not escape the horses' hooves and snow-bright horizontal knives of the cavalry of the Zhao army and the newly surrendered soldiers of the two places......

After a night of fighting, until dawn, the entire Tulun headquarters was slaughtered into ruins, and all the tents were burned. And the Zhao soldiers, while collecting the prisoners, chased after the Wusun people of the Tulun tribe who were desperately fleeing............

Xue Qinglan and Xu Ye only used less than 10,000 sergeants to successfully sneak attack the Tulun Department that had gathered and prepared to attack the Zhao army. He beheaded 13,000 Tulun soldiers, killed all the nobles, chieftains, and elders, and captured more than 28,000 women and children.

Subsequently, Xue Qinglan and Xu Ye led nearly 10,000 Zhao troops, escorted tens of thousands of Wusun women and children from the Tulun tribe, and moved to Dunhuang. Subsequently, they will be dispersed, split and placed in the five northwestern provinces, and become the people under the rule of the Zhao army.

Poor Tulun tribe, seeking benefits failed, but was destroyed in a battle.
