Chapter 163: Differentiation
Zhang Lang's face was thoughtful. Huang Yueying analyzed: "Although the countries of the Western Regions have a lot of soldiers and horses, their combat power is not worth mentioning. On the battlefield, I am not afraid of them! The immediate priority now should be to divide as many countries as possible that are allied with Wusun, and at the same time to win over the countries that are allied with Wusun to join us! ”
Zhang Lang nodded, "Sister Yueying, what can I do?" ”
Huang Yueying smiled slightly, and all the men present lost their minds. Huang Yueying said: "I have a plan. ”
Pu Royal Palace.
"What? Han army reinforcements? The king of Pu was shocked. Panicking, "It's over, it's over!" How good is that? I originally thought that the Han army was unable to take care of the Western Regions, but I didn't expect ......" The queen asked the wolf general: "How many people are there from the Han army?" The general's face was embarrassed, and he was speechless for a long time.
The king was angry and said, "You are talking! ”
The general had to report according to the truth: "The Han army is coming, a thousand people." The general's voice was small.
The king was stunned, and suddenly shouted at the top of his voice, "What? A thousand?! Showing a look of annoyance, "Only a thousand people, you, you actually failed miserably!?" ”
The general hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty doesn't know, although there are only 1,000 people in this Han army, they are tall and big, they are all wearing heavy armor, and they are extremely brave and fierce, they are simply devils!" Especially the Han general at the head, as soon as our people got closer, they were in a different place! Not long after the battle, our army suffered heavy casualties and was rushed to pieces by them! The last general can be regarded as a veteran general on the battlefield, he has seen the Han army in the past, and he has also seen the cavalry of the Huns, Xianbei people, and Wusun people, but he has never seen such a terrible iron horse! The sight of the charge was like the sky was falling,......" The general couldn't help but swallow as he said this.
The old minister of state showed a look of thought, "I heard that the general of the Han people has an ironclad war cavalry under his command, and there are not many of them, but they are the invincible elite of the army!" No one can stop the iron hoof! Could it be that he actually sent this elite? ”
The king's heart jumped.
The queen said worriedly: "If that general sends such an elite, I'm afraid that the army is still behind!" ”
The king hurriedly asked the Prime Minister: "What shall we do now?" ”
The minister of state thought for a moment, "We are a subject country of the Han Dynasty, and it is natural to surrender to the Han Dynasty!" ……”
The king immediately said, "I will immediately send an envoy to contact the Han army. ”
"Wait a minute." The prime minister stopped him, thinking: "I always feel that it is unlikely that the Han army will send a large army to the Western Regions, and the current form will not allow them to do that at all!" I estimate that the Han army entering the Western Regions may not exceed 10,000! And what about Wusun? He glanced at the king, and he looked thoughtful.
The minister said: "Wusun is the largest country in my Western Regions, and he has worked hard all these years, and now he is wearing 200,000 armor!" No matter how strong the Han army is, it will be difficult to fight against the 200,000 people of Wusun with only the current men! ”
The king nodded, frowned, and said, "So what does the minister mean......?" ”
The minister smiled slightly, "The Han people have a saying, 'sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight', our Pu is a small country, and we can't confront the big country, so we have to not offend both sides, neither help Wusun, nor help the Han people!" When the situation is clear, we will be able to rely on the winning side! ”
The king smiled slightly, "Good! It's a good idea! So do it! ”
A guard rushed into the main hall in a hurry, and reported: "Your Majesty, the envoy of the Han army has arrived!" Everyone was stunned, and the king looked at the prime minister at a loss. The prime minister frowned and thought for a moment, "I'm afraid it's not a good thing." Then he said to the king: "When your majesty sees him, don't say much, if the other party wants to form an alliance or ask for food and grass, just agree." The king nodded and said to the guards, "Please come in." ”
The guard answered the promise and ran down, and a moment later led the strong man in what he thought was armor in. The man looked at the king in a majestic manner, and the king was too frightened to look at him. The envoy smiled coldly, clenched his fists and said, "I am ordered by the general to send a letter of state to King Pu Zhai!" ”
Immediately a guard came up, took the credentials, and presented them to the king. The king stood up, took the letter with both hands, glanced at the cover, and saw that the signature was the great general Lu, he was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Could it be that the general is here?" ”
The envoy sneered, "Didn't you already see the Great General at the time of today's confrontation? Then he hugged his fists and clenched his fists: "Farewell." He turned around and walked away. The king's prepared response was completely useless. Hurriedly opened Zhang Lang's letter, read it, his face changed greatly, and his whole body couldn't help trembling, "Han, Han army, yes, there are 100,000 troops gathered in Yumen Pass and are about to enter the customs!" Today, the terrible general who is fighting against our army today is the general of the Han Dynasty! ”
Everyone present was taken aback.
The prime minister asked urgently, "What else did he say in the letter?" ”
The king looked at the letter and frowned: "He, he wants me to choose, either to fight against the heavenly soldiers with Wusun, or to quell the rebellion with the Han Dynasty?" I couldn't help but swallow.
The prime minister frowned and said, "Why is he so tough?" It seems that there are really 100,000 troops about to leave the customs! He hurriedly said to the king, "Your Majesty, we must not hesitate, but should immediately show our loyalty!" The king nodded in agreement, but asked in embarrassment, "But what should be done?" ”
The Prime Minister's eyes flashed with cruelty, "I have an idea." ”
In the following period of time, Zhang Lang and his 1,000 iron horsemen tunza the foothills of Baishan Mountain and did not take any action. At the same time, his envoys entered the courts of the various kingdoms, leaving only a letter without saying much, and the people of the entire Western Regions were panicked, some were undecided, and some had already chosen.
The king of Yizhi personally commanded the whole country's 12,000 troops to come to the Pu King City, and the Pu King personally went out of the city to greet him, looking very affectionate. The king of the emigration branch was welcomed to the royal court and seated as the guest of honor.
The king of Yizhi said loudly: "Brother, I have brought out all the troops at your request, when will we attack?" ”
King Pu smiled and said sarcastically, "You are really loyal to Wusun!" ”
Hearing that the taste was wrong, the king of Yizhi frowned, "What do you mean by that?" ”
King Pu sneered, "I mean, I mean I don't want to go to the grave with you rebels!" ”
Although the king of the transfer branch did not fully understand, he already felt bad, so Huo Ran got up, pointed at the king of Pu and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”
