For Wusun Guo, as soon as Zhao Xun and others made a discussion, a bunch of 'yin' damage moves appeared after a while. Although many methods cannot be put on the table, will Zhao Xun and others care? Of course not, as long as they can harm the enemy and benefit themselves, their methods will only be more ruthless. Where can there be any fairness and justice on both sides of the hostile side? Discussable?

After various strategies were discussed, Zhao Xun immediately arranged for people to do it. Even the garrison of Suye City has also made corresponding arrangements. After all, some actions also have to be echoed by the garrison from afar, making a trend of coercion. Zhao Xun and others believe that at this moment, the Wusun Kingdom is absolutely unwilling to start another war with Da Zhao.

In addition, Zhao Xun also began to order the caravans to and from the Western Regions to be monitored, and strictly prohibit the outflow of some things that are beneficial to the enemy. In addition to armor and equipment, some of the goods leading by Da Zhao, and even some books on farming, medicine, arithmetic, and commerce, were also restricted from flowing out.

It is a good thing for Wanbang to come to the court, but Zhao Xun definitely does not want Wanbang to come to the court to drive the surrounding countries to become strong and prosperous, and humiliate the Han State in the future.

"The Wusun people will talk about it for the time being, and in the future, after my Great Zhao pacifies the southern part of the Western Regions, I will slowly clean him up. With my great Zhao national strength, how can I be afraid of a small border country. Since you have been prepared, where should we strike first? After Zhao Xun finished the military order for the operation of Wusun Kingdom, he asked with a smile.

Situ Liang said in a deep voice: "Because not all the countries of the Southern Alliance have the heart to fight us to the death, and not all the people in the Western Regions in the Southern Region are hostile to us. Therefore, this time, my Da Zhao, I want to get rid of a small country in the shortest and fastest time to deter the enemy. Let the other coalition countries consider whether it is worth resisting us and losing the 'life' of the whole race. ”

"Therefore, we have taken a fancy to the small country of Tuju, the westernmost part of Liangzhou and the west of Mofu. Tuju is located between Khotan and the western part of Liangzhou, and its national strength is in the middle of the Southern Alliance. There are more than 100,000 people and more than 10,000 people wearing armor. But the country has close ties with Khotan and is a hardcore member of the alliance. In the past, the people of the Western Regions who invaded the southwest of Liangzhou were soldiers of this country. ”

"In the past, when General Li recovered and repelled the Tulun tribe, the country was ready to take advantage of the fire to rob. Fortunately, Tu Juguo did not know the specific situation of my Da Zhao at that time, so he did not add trouble to us when we recovered the western part of Liangzhou. Therefore, this Tuju country must be eliminated. Not only must it be eliminated, but it must be fast, ruthless, fierce, and even, it is necessary to kill it, execute the magnates and royal families of this country together, and give the alliance countries a 'look'. ”

"It has been found that to the west of Shule, beyond the Green Ridge, there are other countries in the west, our caravan has crossed there before, and has 'traded' with Tocharo, 'Bo' or something in the west, and they are extremely interested in our goods, in the south of these countries, the rumors of my Dazhao maritime merchants have spread to this far west, should we contact them and let them send troops to contain this part of the western part of the Southern Alliance?"

Zhao Xun hurriedly shook his head and said, "'Bo's? Whatever the reason, we must not allow other countries to 'intervene' in our sphere of influence. We don't know much about the foreign countries of the far west, so we must not easily 'communicate' with them. The terrain of the Green Mountains is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and if the Far West invades the Western Regions, we will have to defend passively. ”

"Besides, will the country of the Far West have such a good heart because of our goods? Holding down hundreds of thousands of troops for us? ”

Zhao Xun said with a smile: "Although the Southern Alliance has a large number of troops, the terrain of the Western Regions is also unfavorable to us, the transportation of materials in the rear is more troublesome, and we are fighting in the enemy's territory, from all aspects, we are in a disadvantageous situation." However, although our forces are not as strong as those of the other side, our soldiers are braver than the other side, and our armor and equipment are sharper than the other side. ”

"Of course, the most important thing is that they are an alliance, and an alliance of discordant hearts. So, what are we afraid of? ”

"This operation against Tuju must be swift and ruthless, and it must fiercely deter the Southern Alliance and make a good start for the operation of our army, so we can't send a large army to dispatch at the beginning of the operation, and still send a small team of men and horses to dispatch." Zhao Xun's finger slashed on the west side of the westernmost mansion in Liangzhou, and said coldly.

"The last general asks for his life, and he is willing to be the pioneer this time!" Suddenly, several generals asked for their orders.

"Xu Ye and Nangong Hao, in this operation, the two of you are the main generals, and each of you leads five thousand 'elite' cavalry straight to Tuju Country." After arranging the generals to go out of the army, Zhao Xun smiled at Li Chenfeng again, "Uncle Li, you are the chief general of the first army, this kind of thing is not what the chief general should do." However, Tuju is in the west of Liangzhou, so this way is naturally from Liangzhou. And from the side of Mozhou Mansion, it is also necessary to put pressure on the flank of the Green Ridge, forcing the western countries not to easily mobilize their troops to support the east. Uncle Li, you and Privy Envoy Situ are responsible for this matter. ”

Since the end of September, there have suddenly been countless horse thieves and countless robbers in the territory of Wusun Kingdom. The Wusun people found that these horse thieves, in addition to the people of the Western Regions, also had Han Chinese, Turkic people, and people of all races. Large and small, it raged in the eastern part of the Wusun Kingdom for hundreds of miles. The hateful thing is that these horse thieves and robbers, wherever they go, leave nothing behind, and all useful goods such as property, people, livestock, etc., are looted. Gradually, the Wusun people found that the eastern region gradually became a white land. To make matters worse, some armies began to be attacked, as were the baggage teams that were transporting supplies for the military sites. By the end, the garrisons of the Great Army were attacked.

In this regard, the whole Wusun Kingdom was greatly annoyed and sent a large number of people to arrest these bandits. But the harvest was very small, but they also found out that the reason why these people were operating in the eastern part of the Wusun Kingdom and plundering everything useful was because the Great Zhao Kingdom in the east exchanged all kinds of materials for slaves, livestock and other materials. Therefore, the purpose of these plundering horse thieves, mountain bandits and other gangs is to go to Zhao State in exchange for supplies.

Wusun naturally understands the problem, you must know that there are Turkic people who come to loot, and there are many of them. At this moment, the Western Turkic tribes are fighting with the Eastern Turkic tribes again, and they are at a disadvantage. If the Zhao army was willing to trade with all kinds of materials, it would be normal for these Turks to come to the territory to loot.

Wusun Guo was naturally unhappy, expressed his dissatisfaction with Zhao Jun, and asked Zhao Jun to stop this behavior of 'handing' over slaves for supplies. But Zhao Jun naturally refused, after all, trade in goods is a normal thing, what does your Wusun Kingdom have to do with my Da Zhao, your Wusun Kingdom and my Da Zhao are not so good that they need my Da Zhao to lose their interests to stop the 'trade'.

The Han merchants of Zhao and the merchants of the Western Regions used by Wusun to go to their own borders threatened the Zhao army, however, Suye City and several surrounding cities immediately prepared their armies and made a westward expedition, forcing Wusun to abandon its military coercion of Zhao merchants. At this moment, the entire eastern border of Wusun Kingdom is 'riotous' and 'chaotic', tens of thousands of people have been robbed, if the Great Zhao army comes in again, the eastern part of the country is nearly 1,000 miles from north to south, and hundreds of miles from east to west, may fall into the hands of Great Zhao.

When the Wusun Kingdom was negotiating with the Zhao army while fighting horse thieves and mountain bandits in the territory, the Great Zhao army in Mozhou Mansion also began to sharpen its swords, with the intention of marching south. And the scouts and spies went south to investigate, and suddenly the situation in the entire western part of the Western Regions began to become tense. Of course, it was the countries of the Confederate Confederate that were even more nervous. Although it is now an alliance, they know that in a big war, there will definitely be many countries that will be destroyed by Da Zhao, except for a few big countries, the rest of the countries may be the one that will be destroyed.

At the same time, in the Turkic tribes in the north of Shangzhou, the Eastern and Western Turkic armies fought more and more fiercely. With the armor and equipment and some grain and grass that the Zhao army 'traded' to the western Turkic tribes through the people of the Western Regions, the Western Turkic army barely stopped the decline of continuing to retreat and launched a fierce battle with the Eastern Turkic army.

In the southern part of the Central Plains, the war in Jingzhou became more and more fierce. Perhaps it was because Zhao Xun incorporated the northern part of the Western Regions into Great Zhao, established a new state, and stabbed the Shu army located in Jingzhou. The Shu army began to launch a fierce attack on the Yangtze River. The area west of the 'Dong' Ting Lake and south of the Yangtze River was finally taken by the Shu army from the combined forces of the kings of Luoyang, Hanzhong and Qi, and the coalition forces were 'forced' to retreat to the north of the Yangtze River.

If it weren't for the fact that the coalition army had the advantage of a naval division, I was afraid that the Shu army would have crossed the Yangtze River and entered the city of Jiangling. In the same way, because the Shu army occupied all the territory of Jiangling Mansion south of the Yangtze River, located east of the 'Dong' Ting Lake, Jiangxia Mansion south of the Yangtze River and the Qi army in Jiangzhou also began to use all their strength. After all, if the Shu army was allowed to cross the Yangtze River, then Jiangxia Mansion and the western half of Jiangzhou would be attacked from the west and north.

Originally, the Qi army sent 50,000 troops to support the king of Hanzhong and the king of Luoyang, but now, more than 100,000 have been added. In this way, it is just barely guarding the Yangtze River. However, Situ Che, the king of Shu, did not stop there, nor did he stop because of the addition of the Qi army, but gathered a large army, built ships, and prepared to cross the river to fight.

However, during this period of war between the two sides, the king of Hanzhong and the king of Luoyang also slowly stabilized the land they occupied in Jingzhou, at least, there was no need to worry that the remnants of the Tang army would stir up trouble in the rear. Of course, it will take some time for the occupied Jingzhou land to provide assistance to itself. Fortunately, the land of Jingzhou was rich, and most of the grain and grass accumulated by the Tang army in the past were obtained by the coalition army, so that the king of Hanzhong and the king of Luoyang would not pay too much to pacify the place.

Regarding the war in the south, Zhao Xun only pays attention to the general situation, as long as it does not affect his overall planning, Zhao Xun will not deliberately 'meddle' and change anything.

At the beginning of October, Xu Ye and Nangong Hao each quietly rushed west from the end of the palace with 5,000 soldiers, entered the southern region of the Western Regions, and began the attack on the Southern Alliance.

In autumn, the wind is strong in the Western Regions. Nangong Hao restrained the war horse, put his hand on the pergola and looked into the distance. It was almost evening, and in the distance on the plain, wisps of cooking smoke were rising, apparently locals cooking.

"This is the largest nomadic tribe in the northeastern part of the Tuju country?"

"General Hui, the Tuju Kingdom is a country composed of five large tribes and some small tribes. Here, one of the big tribes. ”

"The Great Tribe? Hum! After today, they will no longer exist, the army is ready, sortie! Nangong Hao's face 'revealed' a 'look' of disdain, and he ordered hideously. Since then, after entering the Western Regions, many generals and colonels in the Great Zhao Army have gradually become ruthless, and they often slaughter a clan when they carry out their military orders. It is precisely because of this that Zhao Xun made Xu Ye and Nangong Hao the main generals this time. In this operation, what Zhao Xun wants is ruthlessness, what he wants is speed, and what he wants is to slaughter the whole clan.

The war horse under his crotch began to slowly accelerate, and then became faster and faster, rushing towards the opposite side. Five thousand soldiers followed closely behind Nangong Hao, and the war horses under their crotches neighed violently, and thousands of horses immediately showed the momentum of galloping, and the sea 'waves' turned the sky.

This camp looks quite small, and it is very suitable for cavalry combat. Of course, in the Western Regions, most of the area is suitable for cavalry combat. The Tuga tribe is one of the five major tribes of the Tuju country, of course, this big tribe is only counted in the Tuju country, if it is placed in the entire Western Regions, they are nothing. The Toga Department has a population of about 20,000 and 7,000 of the elite riders. Among the five major tribes of the Tuju country, it ranks second.

Seeing a large group of cavalry coming, the entire Toga Division also sounded a long horn. In a few moments, the 'fine' riders of the Toga tribe came out of the camp. This nomadic tribe is acting quickly, if the Zhao army is attacked, although it is strictly forbidden than the other party, it is definitely not as fast as the other party, and Nangong Hao is also slightly impressed by this. But that's all, he doesn't worry about it.

"It's Zhao Jun! Zhao Jun ......"

"Zhao Jun is here to kill ......"

Suddenly, there were all kinds of shouts from the Togabu camp. I have to say that after destroying the northern countries of the Western Regions, Da Zhao is indeed very deterrent to the southern countries of the Western Regions.

"Great Zhao Tieqi!" A thunderous shout came out of Nangong Hao's mouth.

"Invincible in the world!" 5,000 soldiers echoed in unison. A thunderous roar echoed in the wild......

Although they were surprised to find out that it was the Zhao army that was attacking, they did not retreat. Of course, at this moment they have no chance to retreat. Moreover, they found that there were not many enemies attacking.

The armies of the two sides gradually approached, and Nangong Hao could even see the faces of the enemy cavalry on the opposite side in the evening.

"Repeater! Put! Nangong Hao smiled disdainfully and drank loudly.

"Buzzing ......" Immediately, the cavalry of the Tuhe Division heard a buzzing sound like a cotton 'flower' in their ears, and a black cloud followed closely behind it and flew over the Zhao cavalry on the opposite side.

"It's a crossbow! Damn it......" some of the Toga officers roared bitterly. However, they had no defensive shields, let alone armor. This is a crossbow arrow, and even the leather armor on the Togabe officer cannot resist it.

In the afterglow of the evening, the Tuga cavalry watched the sky with a few cold stars on their steel crossbows, just like the stars falling from the sky.

The Toga tribe was attacked by this sudden attack, and it was able to withstand it. The mournful wails, screams, and the mournful screams of the war horses echoed in the sky. In the face of Da Zhao's crossbow arrows, they couldn't be territorial at all.

"Archers, counterattack, counterattack!" The leader of the Toga tribe looked at his own soldiers who were constantly stabbing him, his face turned blue, and he roared angrily.

But the next scene made him feel dead. The cavalry of the Zhao army on the opposite side once again 'shot' a burst of black clouds. They didn't know that this was Zhao Jun's repeating crossbow, a weapon of great destruction at close range. If it is used in the Central Plains, as long as the opponent is wearing armor and a shield, and the opponent is 'engaged' head-on, the power is not too great. But for the people of the Western Regions, this weapon is completely one-sided slaughter at close range.

A repeater carries a crossbow with a crossbow case, and a crossbow box contains ten crossbow arrows. And each cavalry is three crossbow boxes, which can be replaced on top of the war horse at any time. In addition, the army also carried more than 100,000 crossbow arrows, which were replenished at any time. Of course, it doesn't seem that this crossbow bolt can only be used once, and most of them can be reused after the war.

"Buzz ......"

Bursts of black clouds pressed down on the Tuga cavalry, causing the dense cavalry of the Tuga tribe to constantly turn to the ground. However, the rain of arrows that the Tuga Department barely 'pumped' to counterattack could not bring fatal injuries to the Great Zhao cavalry. The cavalry of the Zhao army, in the critical places, are all protected by plate armor. And inside the armor, he also wears silk to protect himself from arrows. The arrows of the people of the Western Regions are far worse than those of Da Zhao.

In addition, in addition to a horizontal knife and a crossbow, the cavalry of the Zhao army also had a round shield. As for the horses, after this battle, the cavalry will have two or three horses swapped.

After paying a third of the casualties, the Tuga cavalry finally approached the Zhao cavalry. The face of every Toga cavalryman showed a 'look' of anger. Although we cannot defeat you with a bow and crossbow, then we will destroy you in close combat. That's what every Tuga cavalry thinks.

"Draw the knife in the front, throw the gun in the back!" Nangong Hao 'drawn' the horizontal knife and gave a sharp order.

With Nangong Hao's military order, the knights in front of them brushed and put away their crossbow machines, and with a bang, they pointed their cold and shining horizontal knives straight at the enemy formation......

However, to the horror of the Togabe cavalry, there was another whistling sound around them, the sound was harsher than the previous crossbow arrows, and black shadows flew out of the sky.

"Weng ......"

"Ah......" At this moment, these Tuga cavalry finally saw what was flying in. A four-foot-long throwing spear pierced the three cavalrymen directly before it was deeply 'inserted' into the ground. And some of the throwing guns were even nailed to the ground with the horses.

As soon as the spear came out, it immediately caused a big 'chaos' of the Tuga cavalry. Moreover, the throwing spears were still constantly pressing towards the rear of the Tuga cavalry, making the Tuga cavalry approaching the Zhao army less and less.

"Kill!" Seeing this, Nangong Hao smiled fiercely and waved his knife to meet him.

The Tuga cavalry that 'engaged' the front cavalry of the Zhao army was only a few hundred, and even, several Zhao cavalry killed one person. And the Tuga cavalry in the rear is still suffering the baptism of Zhao Jun's guns.

Suddenly, on the battlefield, screams, roars, angry scolding, and the sound was endless.
