Lathia believed that a small tribe of the Yue Clan could establish the Kushan Empire, but couldn't she herself?

An army of 100,000 was formed in a short period of time, 50,000, of which of course the original army of the people of the Shache Kingdom accounted for 40,000, and all they lacked was weapons and training, and now, with the money in her hands, Lathia bought weapons through the merchants of Anxik, and distributed them to them.

It will take some time for the remaining 50,000 troops to be expanded. But even so, with a powerful cavalry of 5,000 people, plus an army of 50,000 armed with weapons, the Shache Kingdom is already the top overlord of the Western Regions.

And all of this took just over a little over a year.

The countries of the Western Regions have surrendered one after another, but there are still some who do not know the times, not only did they not participate in the Qiuzi Alliance at the beginning, but they also did not express their submission to Shache later, including Loulan.

Loulan is the country closest to the Han Dynasty, and the level of civilization is relatively the highest, and the culture of Loulan has made their kings uphold the concept that the grass on the wall will not fall.

So after the rise of Shache, Loulan expressed her submission to Shache.

However, Loulan would never agree to the conditions for the Shache Kingdom to collect heavy taxes and control the army, because in that case, Loulan would be considered to be extinct.

Loulan's two-sided principle is to keep their own country, and they don't mind taking some benefits, but if they are levied heavy taxes and control the army, will their own country still exist?

Therefore, this time Loulan resisted.

I originally thought that Loulan was far away from Shache, and with his back to the Han, Shache would not come to find trouble, just like the Huns at the beginning. It is to use Loulan as a buffer with the big Han.

But Latea's ambitions were too great. And everyone felt as if she was going to have direct contact with Dahan. Because the expedition to Loulan did not do much good to the newly rising Shache.

Although Loulan is a big country, it is not big enough to be comparable to Qiuzi and other countries, and with the increasing desertification, Loulan has serious problems with planting and grazing, and it can be said that it has become a poor country.

And it is this poor country, Loulan still has to retain a relatively strong force, because behind it is the Han Dynasty, which is not a very reliable empire. What if I come to attack?

In addition, Loulan produces beautiful women, and Lop Nur is also coveted, and many countries in the Western Regions have the idea of Loulan.

Therefore, even if Loulan becomes poor, even if there are few men, she still has to use women to form an army to maintain a strong army.

Such a country is poor and has no oil and water, but it has a strong army, and once it occupies Loulan, Shache will directly face the Han Dynasty.

Obviously, all it takes is a little bit of brains to know. Shache should use Loulan as a buffer against the Han, unless Shache dares to attack the Han.

And most importantly. Because of the affairs of the Dawan Kingdom, the Guishan Empire has become angry, and the Guishan is sandwiched between the Rest Empire and the Body Poison Country, and it is impossible to transfer the main force to fight with Shache, but his vassal country has been defrauded, and Guishan can't help but express it.

The emperor of the Kushan Empire was raising troops and horses to attack Shache.

At this time, is it worth it for Shache to take such a thorny place as Loulan?

However, it was clear that Lathia was very determined, and the country of Shache soon sent troops to Loulan, with the camel soldiers as the vanguard, and was already engaged in the war with Loulan.

And before the main cavalry of Shache arrived, Loulan had already sent a messenger to ask Dahan for help, that is, the woman in white under the hall.

The gallop of cavalry in the Western Regions was far less convenient than that of the Central Plains, because the horses needed water and grass, which led to the cavalry marching speed not being as fast as camels.

And once these cavalry arrived in Loulan, the combat power of the cavalry could all explode, and Loulan would never be able to stop it, so Loulan asked the Han for help first.

Now in the Western Regions, the Shache Kingdom controls most of it and deters most of it, and only a few countries such as Dawan and Loulan are still resisting.

After Liu Zhang listened to the merchant and the Loulan female envoy finish the matter, he gasped, so many things had happened in the Western Regions in a short period of time.

It is no wonder that since the Sichuan army attacked Yongliang, its eyes have been on Cao Cao and Jiangdong Sun Quan in the Central Plains, and there are many things to do about the recovery of the Central Plains.

Latia of Shache Country, if Liu Zhang was still a little skeptical about whether this Latia had seen the girl named Quirrell in Yangping Pass.

But now Liu Zhang has determined 90 percent, or even 100 percent.

The two are too similar, the first is deception, Liu Zhang was deceived the first time he saw this girl, and he was deceived twice, the first time she pretended to be seriously injured, and the second time she said that she was a Qiang person, and she could separate the Xiliang Army and let Liu Zhang let her out, if it wasn't for the lie being discovered by Hu Che'er, she would have really been fooled.

Not only that, but she was deceived once in the end, although this time it was not completely deceived, but she did succeed, and finally escaped from the Sichuan army and returned to the Western Regions.

And this time, the queen of Shache Country deceived a lot, it turned out to be a trick of later generations, empty gloves white wolf, Shache Country is a leather bag company, and in the end it is more ruthless than the leather bag company, and the goods and payment are swallowed all.

Although the deception is one big and one small, it is not the same, but Liu Zhang can feel Quirrell's shadow from Latia's body, and the two are basically the same person.

In addition, although Quirrell did not admit that she was the princess of Shache Kingdom, there were various signs that she was really the princess of Shache Kingdom, and the Qiang flute.

The first time I heard Quirrell playing, it was on the wall of Yangping Pass, which caused the Xiliang army that was pressing the formation behind to be in chaos, and did the Sichuan army a favor.

At that time, Liu Zhang didn't know what was going on, because he couldn't see it clearly from a distance, but later he learned that he didn't know where many bees and mosquitoes came from, and the Xiliang cavalry was disturbed by these small flying insects.

And in addition, there are two times, one is when Yangping Pass, Wang Xu led his troops to arrest her, but was bitten by a snake, and once in the Diren Valley, the Diren captured her and was also bitten by a poisonous snake, both of which occurred in the cold winter.

And when he was in Xiqiang, Quirrell fought poison with the Tsing Yi Qiang man, and that little snake made Liu Zhang still remember it vividly, the poison was so strong that even the Tsing Yi Qiang man who specialized in raising highly poisonous things died immediately.

In the eyes of everyone, Quirrell was highly poisoned that time, only Liu Zhang saw that she was pretending at night, and soon escaped by looking for the antidote, obviously, the poisoning, finding the antidote, and escaping was something she had already thought about.

Liu Zhang was almost certain that Latia and Quirrell were the same person, but he didn't expect her to develop to this point today, if he had expected this day, Liu Zhang would not have let her go.

But now I don't regret it too much, except for the Yuan Dynasty and Qing Dynasty in the later generations, there is no era of unification in the Western Regions, Western Xia, Tubo, and Western Liao, all of which have only ruled most of the regions.

This queen is in charge, maybe it will be easier for China to merge?

As a person two thousand years later, Liu Zhang deeply knows that if an empire wants to survive, it must have a strong foundation, and Shache is rising so fast now, and it will only fall faster, even if he does not send troops, Shache will not last long, and in the end there is only the result of ashes.

The unification of the Shache Kingdom will inevitably have deeper contact with the Han Dynasty, and it will also facilitate the integration of the Western Regions, and the integration process will bring in the Han civilization, which can only be faster integration into China in the end.

But this is all hundreds or even a thousand years later, Liu Zhang's top priority is to decide the current matter, Jin Fatzi and the others are looking at Liu Zhang.

This time, the fat man lost a lot, not only did he go bankrupt, but he also owed a lot of debts, and even owed a lot of money to the official bank, if he couldn't get his money back, he could only go to prison for the rest of his life.

There is also the envoy of the Loulan Kingdom, although he tried to maintain calm, but now Loulan is facing the destruction of the country.

It is conceivable that once Shache's cavalry reaches Loulan, it will inevitably be devastated.

She came three months ago, and now maybe Loulan has been captured, and even if it hasn't, some of the cities have already fallen.

Liu Zhang admired this Loulan woman very much, although she heard the nervousness in her heart, but at such a tense moment, she could still stay calm, and she didn't kneel on the ground all of a sudden like other messengers who came to ask for help, crying bitterly, such as a golden fat man.

It is said that although Loulan is small, it has a deep heritage, and it seems that it is true.

Liu Zhang let out a sigh of relief and said to Jin Fatzi and the others: "You came to find this king, do you want this king to be?" ”

"Immediately send troops to the Western Regions." The fat man didn't think about it and rushed to answer, he couldn't wait to get his money back, or the creditor would come to the door, and he would be all finished.

"Sending troops to the Western Regions?" Liu Zhang raised his head and said: "You should know that now that we have just fought with Cao Cao and Sun Quan, and we have not yet entered the recuperation and recuperation, and the recovery of Guanzhong is also very expensive, how can we go on an expedition to the Western Regions?" ”

Liu Zhang knew that in terms of national strength in the Western Regions, even if all of them were added up, they were less than one-fifth of the Sichuan army......

But it was a frontal decisive battle, the expedition to the Western Regions is not a thousand-mile attack in the Central Plains, there are deserts, swamps, lack of water, barren, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in order to get Dawan horses, when Ban Chao attacked the Western Regions, there were not many soldiers and horses, but it was extremely consumed, and even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty consumed his vitality because of the expedition to Dawan.

What's more, spending such a big price is just to get that barren land in the Western Regions?

Then I'm really stupid.

At this time, Qu Haihai, the shopkeeper of the Qu family, stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, the Shache Kingdom has expanded its troops without authorization, enslaved other countries in the Western Regions, and attacked Loulan and other countries, and whether it is a slaved country or Loulan, many of them are dependent on my Han, if we don't send troops, it seems to make Fanbang feel cold." ”

Liu Zhang's brows sank, and he glanced at Qu Lingchen, this Qu family's housekeeper is so powerful, he didn't speak without thinking like a fat man, not only involved a powerful relationship, but also buttoned Liu Zhang's hat.

If the Sichuan army does not go to conquer Shache, it will lose the national character of the Han Dynasty. (To be continued......)
