Chapter 66: The Goose and the Mouse
Leaving the boundary of Yumen Pass, further northwest, it is probably the center of the Western Regions, and a majestic city is being built on the surrounding land without any precipitous terrain.
Bu Zheng came with Bu Xin on horseback, and the sound of the heat in the city could be heard from afar.
And around the city, there are teams of Han soldiers guarding them.
"Who?"
Before the horses had reached the city, the battle had already been stopped by several soldiers.
"Special envoy of Yumen Pass, let the captain here come out to see me."
Bu Zheng stopped his horse, took out the token in his arms and raised it towards a few soldiers, the capital of the Western Regions has not yet been officially established, and these soldiers stationed are all former Tuntian soldiers, but Bu Zheng did not look down on these Tuntian soldiers at all.
In these years, those who can be outside the Saiwai Tuntian are definitely elite.
"Please wait a moment, the envoy."
The leading soldier glanced at the seal letter in Bu Zheng's hand, then clenched his fist at Bu Zheng, turned around and ran towards the Western Regions Capital Protector Mansion in small steps.
The soldiers of Yumen Pass knew each other, but they didn't know what the identity of the envoy was.
However, it was not known what the envoy meant, and it did not prevent the soldiers from carrying out the orders of the bearer of the Yumen Pass Seal, and the soldiers trotted into the city, and soon the sound of horses' hooves came from the city.
"What envoy, where is the envoy?"
Accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves, a man's voice came from afar.
Yantou, the former captain of Tuntian, is now the guard captain of the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate, responsible for the construction of the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate.
In the original plot introduction, this is an extremely proud person, both in his own strength and in the strength of the Han, but this is also a person who does not have much military ability.
But, the real situation, this is a warrior who can fight well, of course, it is okay to charge into battle, and the command of the army is a little worse.
Mostly, this is a somewhat self-righteous man, and in the original plot, it was because of this that he was defeated by Lucis of Rome.
"You're the envoy of Yumen Pass?"
A dozen or so fast horses soon arrived in front of Bu Zheng, and the head of the goose rode on the back of the horse and looked at the head of the horse, here, itself is under the jurisdiction of the head of the goose, obviously, the head of the wild goose does not want another person to share his rights.
"I don't think you look like you're from Yumen Pass."
Behind the head of the goose, a man who had never worn armor looked at Bu Zheng with slightly squinted eyes.
Mouse, the military doctor under the command of the goose head, in fact, can also be regarded as a dog-headed military division, in the original plot introduction, he is a vulgar person with no ability, but this is an expert who is good at logistics, and he can't be counted on in terms of operations, and in terms of logistics, just outside the lonely block, there are tens of thousands of prisoners building a city, but he is the only one who mobilizes materials, and he can see his ability without any problems.
"Yumen Pass has received accurate information, the 100,000 troops of Western Qin are on their way, and the Anxi Empire has gathered 200,000 troops and is also preparing to come here, and half of the 36 countries in the Western Regions have been conquered and come with it, and I am here to be responsible for exterminating these 300,000 troops."
Bu Zheng took out the seal letter of Yumen Pass and threw it directly to Yantou.
The latter grabbed the seal letter, but instead of looking at the seal letter, he looked at Bu Zheng, with a look of doubt in his eyes.
"The 300,000 army is coming, and half of the 36 countries in the Western Regions have been conquered and followed, and you are responsible for destroying the 300,000 army."
Yantou looked at Bu Zheng's eyes as if he was looking at a fool, there were really 300,000 troops conquering half of the countries in the Western Regions driving the conquered countries to rush here, and the big man could still be so calm and only send one person.
Unless the Manchu Dynasty becomes a fool, it will be like this.
A sneer flashed at the corner of the goose's mouth, and his hand had already touched the handle of the knife at his waist.
"Your Majesty, you have died, and the court is discussing who should take over the throne of the Han Emperor."
Bu Zheng watched as Yan Tou's hand touched the hilt of the knife at his waist and slowly spoke, and when he spoke, he hugged Qi Xin with one hand, "Xin'er, take me to him, on horseback." ”
With the indifferent words, the goose heads, rats, and the soldiers behind them all showed shocked and panicked looks.
His Majesty's death, this is a big deal for anyone in the Han Empire, especially the soldiers stationed at the border, because the emperor died, especially after the death of the old emperor, the new emperor has not yet confirmed, this is the most turbulent time for a country, and it is also the time when the enemy country likes to take the opportunity to sneak attack.
And the place where they are now is still outside the fortress, and it is still a long way from Yumen Pass, the last pass of the Han Dynasty.
"Purr ............"
At this moment, all of a sudden, the war horses under everyone's crotches snorted, including the rats, and fell to the ground.
And the figure of Bu Zheng stood on the back of the horse in front of the goose head when he showed a surprised look in the eyes of the goose head.
"How many slaves are there, how many defenders are there?"
Bu Zheng stood indifferently in front of the wild goose with Bu Xin in his arms, looked at the wild goose condescendingly and asked.
In his previous life, when he came, the force value was not too high, at least he couldn't beat Huo An, so Yantou still took the defenders here out of the city to fight, and was finally killed.
Luquis's subordinates are not many, at most one or two hundred people, and no matter how bad Yantou is, he is also a captain, if the number is more than Luquis, even if the command is not as good as he thinks, he will not be defeated too badly.
Obviously, there are not many Han soldiers guarding this city now.
Bu Zheng remembered that he had read a piece of information in his previous life, and the total number of Tuntian soldiers in the Western Regions in the early Han Dynasty was only 3,000.
Yantou is a captain, and the number of people under his command can be hundreds or thousands, but since the army of Rome and rest is deliberately put in by the military, there must not be too many people under Yantou's command.
Originally, when Rome and Sabbath surrounded this place, there should have been a Han army coming, and even, when the Han gave Tibes a plan and sent Luquis to Tibes, the Han army should have surrounded this place, but in fact, until the Han officer in charge of the plan was killed by Thebes, half of the Han army never appeared.
There's no way, it's okay, the military thinks very well, but it's a pity that the current Han is a pot of porridge, Huo Guang is very strong, but this time he also got rid of it, it's okay to treat the emperor as a puppet, but if you die the emperor, it's a big problem to decide who will be the emperor.
In short, the only force to resist Rome and rest was the strength of the outside of the fortress, and the step struggle must now be counted with the amount of power at his disposal.
"So, there really are 300,000 troops coming this way."
The goose head looked at Bu Zheng's serious expression, and his face was full of horror.
Well, this guy still doesn't fully believe what Bu Zheng said.
