Chapter 1090: Cao Cao's Scheme
The Great Qin Empire, which had just completed domestic unification, once again encountered severe challenges.
The Sabbatical Empire, which has the title of "King of Kings", cannot satisfy its greed by occupying Central Asia. Vologis V raised the whole army and wanted to destroy Great Qin.
Emperor Hongwu was furious, the Western Regions was an inherent territory of China, and Qin Feng just didn't have time to summon him back to the embrace of the motherland. Cao Cao once said that a resting person should not be allowed to step into the Jade Gate Pass for half a step. And in Qin Feng's heart, the Western Regions is also the land of China. Therefore, although Anxi has not yet invaded the interior, Qin Feng must not sit back and watch the Western Regions be invaded by Anxi.
"We will fight for Huaxia!"
Emperor Hongwu issued an Imperial War Mobilization Order.
The Great Qin Xiliang Military Region was the first to act, and the 300,000 troops of the whole military region gathered in Xiliang City, ready to go.
The mobilization order spread everywhere.
People chanted the slogan of "Fight for China", donated money and materials, and the young man gave up his stable life to join the army. How many people have bloody athletes, abandon the pen and follow Rong.
A large number of materials were gathered and sent to Xiliang and Fulousha.
Emperor Hongwu ordered Pang De, the general of the fancy Southeast Military Region, to lead his headquarters to attack the province of Arakasia of the Rest Empire, and the troops threatened the hinterland of the Rest Empire. He also ordered Gao Shun, the general of the Fulousha Military Region, to lead his troops and horses to rest in Central Asia, or cut off the rear route of the rest army.
Emperor Hongwu ordered the Xuchang Military Region, the Shuzhong Military Region, the Liaonan Military Region, the Yedu Military Region, and the Jianye Military Region to allocate troops and horses to the Western Regions.
He also ordered the crown prince Qin Yan to supervise the country and assist the military aircraft department. Jia Xu, Guo Jia, and Pang Tong, military divisions of the Military Aircraft Department, came to the army to listen to it.
And the Emperor Hongwu himself. In advance, he led an army of 300,000 Xiliang, accompanied by generals Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Ma Chao, Wang Shuang and others. Take the first step out of the Yumen Pass.
The two great empires of the world fought a decisive battle in the Western Regions.
Time. The eyes of the world are focused on the Western Regions. Everyone is waiting to see whether they will rest in peace to defeat Great Qin and annex the East, or be attacked by Emperor Hongwu like Guishan. I believe that soon, the world will get the answer.
And in the city of Rome, at the foot of the royal palace, in the council chamber of the circular staircase of the Senate, there was laughter.
The senators of Rome raised their crystal cups and praised the great strategy of the Triumphant Emperor. He poured the scarlet wine from the glass into his mouth.
The world's 60 million people are about to fall into a great war, "and Rome is the ultimate victor!" Cheers to the Empire! "Triumphant Emperor Septimius. Severus opened his bloody mouth red with the juice of the wine, and the juice at the corners of his mouth flowed like blood.
The usually gentle and gentlemanly veterans of the empire suddenly showed their crazy side, devouring the scarlet juice one by one. and let the corners of his mouth overflow with "blood".
Daqin's soldiers and horses are mobilizing, materials are mobilizing, and it takes time.
In the Loulan Palace in the Western Regions, Cao Pi broke out in a cold sweat. He stopped Xiahoudun, who was leaving, and shouted to Cao Cao: "Father, why." Why surrender and rest in peace. Could it be that my father's fight for China? Are they all fake? Could it be that my father wants to watch the lives of Huaxia go to misery, is it? Father wants to be a traitor in China! โ
"Fart! You stinky boy, how can you be as muddy as Qin Zijin! Cao Cao was furious, and the sharp sword pointed at Cao Pi, "Qin Zijin has become a traitor, and your father and I will not be traitors." โ
Cao Pi was a little confused, "So...... Why...... Why surrender. โ
Xiahou Yuan on the side stroked his beard and smiled: "Second son, you didn't know when you first came that the king was a fraud. There are some true and some false, so as to successfully deceive the resting people. Hit the enemy's forward head-on head, and severely defeat the enemy's spirit, so as to be able to gain more time. โ
"I see!" Cao Pi breathed a sigh of relief.
On the other hand, Sirwangai, the marshal of the Rest Empire, led an army of millions to attack Cao Cao's Western Regions. He divided the army of one million into three sections, the first was the entry of 200,000 vanguard troops, the second was the 700,000 army to follow, and finally the 100,000 army ensured the delivery of supplies by a million Kushan slaves.
Ten days later, when the 200,000 Rest Vanguard army entered, Xiahoudun personally came to the front of the army. Met with the Rest Vanguard General Malikshah, and the Deputy Pioneer Tidosasin.
"Two generals, my lord surrenders to the two generals!" In the big tent, Xiahoudun said very "humblely" and "scared".
Maliksha and Tidosasin looked at each other, expecting a fierce battle. Although the camel soldiers of this army are very strong, taking the cities one by one is bound to consume a lot of time and troops. Cao Cao's surrender was different, and the resting army could quickly advance to the border of Great Qin. With the Western Regions countries contributing materials, they can reduce the pressure on their own material transportation.
The two were overjoyed.
Xiahoudun observed his words and said: "My king has fought with Emperor Hongwu many times, and he is well aware of the Qin army's tactics. Our king will do everything in his power to help the great rest win the war, and only ask that the great "King of kings" Vologis V will be able to reward the little king with the throne. โ
Maliksha and Tidosasin laughed, and the title of "King of Kings" inherited by Vologis V also has a history. There are countless kingdoms that have been destroyed in peace, and for those who are truly subservient, they are still allowed to keep a small principality.
Maliksha believed that Cao Cao, the king of the Western Regions, like his previous kingdom, knew that he could not resist the great rest, so he chose to surrender. At the same time, the rest people also knew that the King of the Western Regions and the Emperor Hongwu had fought all their lives, and the two sides were full of grudges. And the surrender of Cao Cao, the king of the Western Regions, was very beneficial to the sudden attack of the Anxi Empire on Great Qin, so Maliksha accepted Cao Cao's surrender.
The vanguard generals who can sit up to 200,000 people are not incapable. On the one hand, he reported the news to the Imperial Marshal Silvan Ai in the back, and on the other hand, he also marched cautiously.
Subsequently, the place where the 200,000 troops went, the cities of the Western Regions, opened the city and surrendered, and sent supplies. Even the resting army barely consumed its own supplies, and quickly advanced all the way to the territory of Loulan.
Maliksha was therefore fully convinced that Cao Cao, the king of the Western Regions, had surrendered sincerely.
There is a big lake outside the city of Loulan, called "Lop Nur". Because of its shape like an ear, it is known as the "ear of the earth". It is also known as the "Sea of Death". The Tarim River, the Peacock River, the Cherchen River, the Shule River, etc., gather here, and it is the second largest saltwater lake in China. Dried up after a thousand years. But at this time, the lake is extremely watery.
Maliksha led a large army here. When he saw the 100,000 troops of the Western Regions, not wearing armor or weapons, and waiting for him by the lake far away from Loulan City, he completely believed in Cao Cao's surrender.
Cao Cao led his ministers to greet him, "Honorable general, Cao Cao, King of the Western Regions, surrenders to you and the great Rest Empire...... Cao Cao secretly scolded his mother. But in order to win, I had to hold back. He fully learned Qin Feng's acting skills, and interpreted the image of the surrenderer to the fullest.
So much so that Maliksha immediately dismounted and personally went over to reassure: "King of the Western Regions, I believe that the news of Your Majesty will soon be able to reach here, you and your family will definitely be the lord of the Western Regions forever!" โ
Cao Cao was grateful. He also introduced Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Cao Ang, Cao Pi, Xia Houen and other generals who followed.
Rest also has information about the Western Regions, and Maliksha is even more convinced when he sees that Cao Cao has brought all the generals to surrender.
Immediately after, Cao Cao ordered his army of 100,000. Food and wine were brought out.
And the arrival of Maliksha here also symbolizes the conquest of the Western Regions by Rest. He needed to communicate with the Imperial Marshal of the Chinese Army while determining whether to wait or continue the march. He saw that Cao Cao's soldiers and horses were not equipped with any weapons. So be unguarded. And in order to show the tolerant atmosphere of the Rest Empire, that night. He invited Cao Cao and the others to drink together. And the materials that Cao Cao took out were fed back to the Western Regions Army.
In the middle of the night. Maliksha rewarded the three armies, and during the night banquet with Cao Cao, he was drunk. And the deputy vanguard, Tidosasin, was no exception. The entire rest of the country was defenseless against the unarmed Western Regions Army.
At night, Cao Cao swayed into his big tent, and he looked at the brightly lit resting camp three miles away through the open tent door, showing a disdainful smile.
Xiahoudun, who was on the side, saw that his pace was unsteady and said, "King, you have nothing to do, right?" โ
Cao Cao sneered, and said in his heart that this king drank it with Qin Zijin, so he sneered: "In terms of the amount of wine in Mariksha, Qin Zijin can drink five of him, and this king can also drink three!" โ
Cao Cao was not drunk, and passed down the order, "The three armies are ready, and the fourth watch will be started." Wiped out the forward army of Anxi, let the Anxie people know how powerful we are, and let Qin Zijin know ...... know. โ
"Whoa!"
The generals became excited and left as planned.
On the third watch, 100,000 Cao troops from the Western Regions took action, digging deep into the sand and pulling out armor and weapons from it. On the fourth watch, it was already in a state of waiting.
Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan and others led an army of 100,000 to walk on the yellow sand and quietly approached the barracks of the resting people.
The night attack of 100,000 people against 200,000 people, when the Cao army of the Western Regions attacked the camp of Anxi, the Anxiguan people were still asleep. In the military camp that stretched for ten miles, with the flames rising into the sky, and the earth-shattering shouts of killing, the people of Anxi were completely confused.
The shouting of killing woke up Maliksha, who had not yet woken up, stared at the scarlet sleepy eyes, staggered out of the tent, and said angrily: "What's the matter, what are you screaming nonsense?" โ
At this time, Tido Sasin came to the wolf, "General, the big thing is not good, the Western Regions Army has rebelled!" โ
"What!" Maliksha was so shocked that he smacked his ass, "Cao Cao has rebelled!" This vile and shameless Oriental! He drew his sword with a loud cry and shouted, "Kill the unarmed Orientals!" โ
"General, these Orientals have buried their weapons in the sand, let's run."
In this battle, Cao Cao successfully paralyzed the rest of the people, and killed more than 100,000 rest of the pioneers under the night attack, and the rest of the rest of the rest of the soldiers and horses were defeated. Cao Cao knew that behind this army, there were still 800,000 main forces. In the field, it is simply impossible to win. Therefore, he did not continue the pursuit, but retreated to Loulan and mobilized all the materials to prepare for the city defense battle.
On the other hand, Maliksha and Tidosa Sin Wolf Bรจi fled back.
Imperial Marshal Silvan Ai, who received the battle report of the surrender of the Western Regions Army on the first day, was very happy to plan the specific tactics of attacking Great Qin. Unexpectedly, after getting up from sleep, he received the news that Cao Cao had surrendered falsely and that the imperial vanguard army had been lost. Angry, he smoked and scolded the king of the Western Regions for being despicable and Maliksha for being stupid.
When the news came, the morale of the whole army declined.
For the sneak attack of the king of the Western Regions and the defeat of the vanguard, Silvan Ai was very angry. After collecting the defeated army, he led an army of 800,000 to slaughter the city all the way, killing all the men, all the slaves of the women, and all the materials were collected. As a result, the crazy 800,000 resting people went all the way to Loulan in blood.
In the face of absolute power, a ploy becomes useless.
Cao Cao knew that he could not fight against the resting army of 800,000, but he .......
"For the sake of Huaxia, even if you die, you will never take a step back!"
At this point, Cao Cao gave up the last chance to leave. When the 800,000 Rest Army surrounded Loulan City, Cao Cao's time was running out. But he tried his best to buy time, not for himself, but for the sake of his homeland behind him and his compatriots in his homeland. (To be continued......)
