Chapter 400: Asking for a Virgin
In July, Luo Zhengqin led 20,000 cavalry out of Chang'an, through the Hexi Corridor, and expeditioned to the Western Regions.
In August, Cao Cao made a comeback, taking advantage of Luo's expedition to the Western Regions, leading an army to attack Xiangxian, wanting to map the Central Plains.
At the same time, Wu Wang Dongce gathered an army of 20,000 to attack Anfengjin and prepared to wait for the opportunity to go on a northern expedition.
The Central Plains rose again, Gao Shun led the army to Xiangxian, and fought with Cao's army in the north of Xiangxian ten miles. Cao Cao was defeated and lured Gao Shun's army to a valley and set fire. Unexpectedly, Gao Shunqin led 800 fallen soldiers to attack bravely, breaking Cao Cao's front army in one fell swoop, Xiahou Dun, who was brave and crowned by the three armies, was blinded in one eye by a stray arrow, and Cao Cao was almost captured alive by Gao Shunsheng.
Gao Shun took advantage of the situation to wave his army to cover the killing, defeated the Cao army, and chased him until Xiao County to collect his troops.
After Cao Cao retreated to Pengcheng, he couldn't afford to be ill, and he recuperated for more than half a month before he barely stayed for activities.
After this defeat, Cao's soldiers had no heart to fight and were no longer able to fight.
Cao Cao summoned a group of civil and military henchmen to review his mistakes, and finally had to sigh, "Gao Shun, the general!" β
The princes in the hall were full of shame, and they wanted to bury their heads in the crotch of their pants, and Xiahoudun was no exception.
A good ambush battle, has already lured Gao Shun into the Jedi, as long as the exit is blocked, Gao Shun's 20,000 troops will be difficult to fly, but unexpectedly, Gao Shun led 800 soldiers to break the front army from the front, and the defeat turned into victory.
Not only did Xiahou lose an eye, but Cao Jiao sent Wan Huan to XII.br/>
There is no shame in defeating the battle, but the defeat is so bad that people can't help but want to vomit blood.
The tiger and leopard cavalry, which Cao Cao was proud of, failed to block the assault of Gao Shun's 800 fallen soldiers.
Such a result made Cao Cao unacceptable, and the generals under his command were even more severely hit.
Fortunately, at the most critical moment, the tiger and leopard ride still played some role. Blocked the eight hundred dead soldiers, otherwise Cao Cao would not be able to return to Pengcheng this time. Although Gao Shun's brazen assault had a surprising effect at that time, Cao Cao happened to be in the front army. The rear army didn't have time to rescue, so it was defeated by Gao Shun, but the combat effectiveness of the eight hundred dead soldiers, everyone now feels shocked when they think about it.
After this defeat, Cao Cao retreated to Pengcheng to recuperate, unable to send troops for the time being.
On the side of An Fengjin, Sun Ceqiang could not attack the pass, so he ordered the navy to sneak attack from the waterway at night.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Liao had already prepared and put thousands of Jiangdong naval troops into the pass. Then came a gate to beat the dogs, and trapped Zhou Tai, the general of the Eastern Wu Navy who broke into the city, and when Sun Ce led the army to help, Zhou Tai had died in the city, and his head was thrown off the city.
Sun Ce was furious and ordered the army to storm day and night.
Ran'an Fengjin also has 20,000 defenders, and the strength is similar, how can it be stormed.
Sun Ce's attack was fruitless, so he had to lead the army to retreat ten miles to the village. Confronted Zhang Liao. It was not until the end of October that the weather turned cold and he had to lead the army back to Jiangdong, and Zhang Liao was afraid that An Fengjin would be lost, so he did not send troops to pursue. Only the passes.
At the end of August, Luo conscripted troops out of Yumen Pass and arrived at the city of King Shanshan. Ordered the lords of the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions to meet with them.
Within a few days, he ordered the lord of Shanshan to sacrifice 3,000 virgins. The lord of Shanshan did not obey, so he waved his army to break the city of Shanshan king. After slaughtering the city for three days, there were no people and animals, and then he waved his army north to attack the Yanqi Kingdom. The lord of Yanqi led his ministers to meet him at the border.
At the end of October, Luo conscripted troops into the Western Protectorate and asked the lord of Qiuzi for his concubine Yimir.
The lord of Qiuci did not obey, so Luo Zheng led the army to break through its Qiancheng and slaughtered the royal family and nobles of Qiuci.
At this time, the weather had turned cold, and the 70,000 troops of Kushan stopped after hitting Shache.
Luo Zheng then garrisoned its Qiancheng, and ordered the lords of the Western Regions to rush to its Qiancheng to meet him.
At the end of November, the lords of the Western Regions gathered in its Qiancheng, except for the Qiuci Kingdom and Shanshan Kingdom, which were slaughtered to destroy the royal family, no one dared not come. Accompanying the king of Wusun, Kun Mo, rushed to its Qiancheng city, there was also Liu Ying, the princess of Xinyang of the Han Dynasty.
Luo Zheng asked Fa Zheng and found out what was going on.
Wusun has been reconciled with the Han Dynasty for generations, and it has always been a friendly country in the Western Regions that the Han has tried to woo.
Since the Western Han Dynasty, Wubang has always been an ally to pacify the Western Regions, and it has become a practice for the Han princess to marry Wusun and relatives, as long as the princess who marries Wusun dies, the court will immediately send another princess to marry the Western Regions.
At night, the western capital is protected.
Grease torches were lit in the wide hall, and in the sound of drums, more than 20 scantily clad bearded women danced, their unbearable little waists were exposed, and the scenery inside was faintly visible when the skirts flew up.
The lords and cronies of the ministers of the Western Regions sat on both sides, drinking wine, while staring at the more than 20 beautiful orchids dancing, their naked eyes were undisguised, and they wanted to swallow the woman.
Although the hall is wide, it is still a little crowded with hundreds of people.
On the main seat, Luo Zheng sat behind the table with a big knife and a golden knife, looking at the orchid in the hall, his brows gradually frowned.
Fa Zheng and Yan Xing sat on the left and right, and they also enjoyed watching it, and their faces were pale.
Only Xu Chu, the evil man, didn't know where the beauty was, and his wolf-like gaze scanned around.
"Enough!"
Luo Zheng suddenly broke off and waved his hand, "Stand down!" β
King Wusun was startled and hurriedly drove the orchid out, and the drumming stopped.
All the Western Regions lords looked over, their eyes were not calm, and they didn't know what Luo Zheng, the murderer, wanted to do.
Luo Zheng's eyes were very sharp, he glanced around the hall, and said indifferently: "Fanbang in the Western Regions is a minister of my Han Dynasty, and the tribute of the last year is less than 30%, who can sue sΓΉ lonely, what is going on?" β
The lords of the kingdom looked at me for a while, and they did not know how to answer.
The Han Dynasty has been at war since the first year of Zhongping, and the countries of the Western Regions have long wanted to break away from the control, until Luo Zheng successively swept away the 800 li Qiang Plain and the 10,000 li desert, the countries of the Western Regions were frightened and had to bow down and start paying tribute.
After the start of the Central Plains War, various countries thought that the Han people were in turmoil, so they reduced the tribute to test Luo Zheng's mind.
Unexpectedly, the invasion of Guishan made it difficult for the countries of the Western Regions to resist, so they had to ask Luo for help.
But he didn't want Luo Zheng to lead the army out of the Western Regions, so he casually found an excuse and slaughtered Shanshan and Qiuzi, but he scared the lords of the country very much, lest they become the target of Luo Zheng's attack again, and they all rushed to it to Qiancheng to meet him.
At this moment, when I heard Luo Zheng ask about Sui Gong directly, I was very nervous in my heart, and I didn't know how to answer.
After waiting for a long time, the lord of Wusun said: "Wang Shangmingjian, last year, the great drought in the Western Regions, the taxes of various countries were reduced by half, and I really can't wait for small countries, so I paid less than three percent of the tribute, and I must make up for it this year." β
"Great drought in the Western Regions?"
A sneer appeared at the corner of Luo Zheng's mouth, "How did Lone hear that the wind and rain in the Western Regions were smooth and there was a bumper harvest?" β
"This ......"
Kun Mo choked, not knowing how to justify himself, and was embarrassed for a while. (To be continued......) R1292
