Huo Guang didn't know much about Bai Zheng, but just from the clues in Hanoi back then, Huo Guang knew that Bai Zheng was the kind of talent he needed the most---- the talent of the commander.

Now there are a lot of military generals who can be used in Hexi, there are both veterans like Zhao Ponugao, and young generals like Shangguan Li Ling, but there is no one who can really take charge of the commander, there is no problem in the early stage of this situation, but in the later stage, with the gradual conquest of the Western Regions, after the territory expanded, every march is months or even years, and it is not possible to personally lead the troops by Huo Guang every time.

And Bai Zheng is such a commander, which is also the most important reason why Huo Guang did not kill Bai Zheng.

Bai Zheng only took more than 20 people, like a poisonous snake into the Wusun army, they did not deliberately attack the Wusun cavalry around them, but purposefully rushed towards the position of Wusun Daxuan. No matter how the Wusun people stopped, they saw Bai Zheng's small group of people rushing left and right, and the speed was not slow at all towards the position of Da Xuan.

"This kid is really fucking powerful, like a loach, the Wusun cavalry .....can't take them at all" Zhao Ponu stood beside Huo Guang on horseback, and also saw the situation of Bai Zheng's team. With only about 20 people, Bai Zheng made the rear of the Wusun army jump, and the originally strict formation was also scattered.

"Dadu Governor, look, the arrogant Da Min is retreating...... " Suddenly Shangguan Ji pointed in the direction of Wusun and shouted loudly, sure enough, the conspicuous Da Min was moving in the direction of Chigu City.

"Go up too." Huo Guang said calmly, Hunting Arrogance has already revealed defeat, and at this time, it is time for Huo Guang to press the whole army.

"No!" Zhao Ponu and Shangguan Ji replied one left and one right, and then more than 8,000 Hexi troops on both sides of Huo Guang accelerated their sprint, killing towards the battlefield that had already fallen one-sided. On the entire grassland, only Huo Guang and the two thousand guards behind him stood still.

This decisive battle, with a total strength of more than 100,000 troops, lasted for most of the day, and gradually came to an end when the afterglow fell on the horizon. The grassland is full of corpses, but more are the corpses of the Wusun people, the Hexi army is rummaging for the corpses of their companions in the grass, and the Wusun soldiers under Xutuomi are also collecting the corpses of those Wusun people, even if the camps are different, Xutuomi still did not let his father's soldiers die in the wilderness, anyway, these dead Wusun people are also his kindred.

"Metropolitan Governor, the grass people are fortunate not to be dishonored!" While the battlefield was still being cleaned, Bai Zheng reappeared in front of Huo Guang with his team of more than twenty people. As soon as he saw Huo Guang, Bai Zheng knelt on the ground with a head, and the white soldiers behind him were holding the arrogant Da Xuan with both hands, and he was waving the Da Zheng with a smile, looking quite interested.

"You didn't disappoint me, return the head to Xutuo, Da Ming accepted the others and broke through Chigu Castle and sent them to Chang'an to be dedicated to the emperor. The governor of Pontus will be rewarded for his merits, but you will be rewarded after returning to Dunhuang. Huo Guang glanced at the arrogant head, and waved his hand.

Bai Zheng and the others naturally hurriedly responded, it was already good if Huo Guang didn't kill them, and now he said that he would reward them, which made them even more excited, so that they had changed from homeless bandits to Han officials and soldiers, and even had a promotion rank.

"The Metropolitan Governor...... The remnants of Wusun fled into Akaya Castle, and the army had to defend the city, and our army was unable to break through Akitani for the time being. Li Ling finally returned to Huo Guang, and the battle ahead was all over.

Chigu Castle is a first-class city in the Western Regions, no worse than the kind of county governance city in the counties of the Han Dynasty, although the 60,000 army of Hunting Arrogance was defeated, but there are still more than 30,000 people who fled back to the city, plus the young nobles in the city, the army is still based on the city.

"Send the order down and set up camp outside Akiti Castle." Huo Guang did not plan to attack the city at night, so he ordered the whole army to camp outside Chigu City.

Soon Akatani Castle was set up one after another, and when the army outside Akatani Castle was stationed, the city was already in chaos. Most of the people of Akiti Castle hid in their cellars, and the various noble mansions gathered their family members together, intending to resist to the death or to surrender.

In the center of Akiti Castle, a huge building is the palace of Usun Kunmo. At this moment, tens of thousands of cavalry gathered outside the palace, and the palace was full of samurai armed with sharp weapons. These are the Wusun nobles and the army who are loyal to the hunting arrogance, and they are also loyal to the army.

"Now that the old Kunmo has died in battle, please ask Cen Qian to inherit the throne of Kunmo!" A group of Wusun nobles bowed down in front of the young Gunsu and handed the crown and scepter that symbolized Kunmo into the hands of the Gunsu. Jun Su Mi was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and he still looked a little immature.

"Now that the allied forces of Dalu and the Han people are coming to the city, how should we choose?" For this position of Kunmo, Jun Xu Mi no longer cares. Now that his grandfather is dead, his uncle and tens of thousands of Han Chinese troops are besieging Chigu City, and saving his life is his first priority.

The problem of the military beard made these Wusun nobles who were still loyal to him look at each other one by one, but none of them had a good solution. Now they can't fight, and they are unwilling to surrender, because they are besieging them, and even the old Kun Mo Hunting Arrogance has been killed, and they estimate that even if they surrender, there will be no way to live, and now these nobles and military mustaches are very helpless.

Just when everyone was at a loss, a noble lady of Wusun wearing brocade and a luxurious soft fur walked into the palace surrounded by maids. This woman looked graceful and noble, and her demeanor was dignified and calm, which was completely different from the ordinary Wusun woman.

Seeing the woman enter, Jun Sumi hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully addressed the woman as her mother in the Wusun language. Both the Xiongnu and Wusun had a tradition of their fathers marrying their mothers, but this is actually a misinformation, and this so-called marriage behavior is only aimed at the father's concubines, not their own biological mothers. In fact, in this era, whether it is the Xiongnu, Wusun or the Han Dynasty, the status of concubines is not high, and even as goods are often bought and sold.

Jun Sumi's father died early, and his biological mother was not a Wusun person, but a Xiongnu princess, and the sister of the current Xiongnu Shan Yu Wuwei. For his biological mother, Jun Su Mi is also quite respectful.

"How many troops do we have in the city that we can deploy now?" Jun Sumi's biological mother did not have the slightest panic on her face, but asked calmly.

Jun Xu Mi hurriedly looked at an old Wusun nobleman beside him, this person was the prime minister of Wusun, and he was also the old minister left by Hunt Jiaomi for his grandson.

"There are less than 30,000 troops we can dispatch." Prime Minister Wusun replied with some disappointment, in fact, the army in the city is far more than this, but the prime minister also knows that the people in Akagu City are not in line with the people today, and some nobles have no intention of resisting at all, especially those nobles who have an old relationship with Xutuo, I am afraid that they are still thinking about how to open the city to invite merit at this moment.

"Let's get rid of the nobles who disagree with us..... With them, we won't even survive tonight! Princess Hun said with a hint of murderous intent on her face, but her voice was still so soft and pleasant.

"Mother is right..... "Jun Xu Mi has no master, and he doesn't know what to do next, but the calm appearance of the Xiongnu princess makes him feel that there is still a glimmer of life.

Prime Minister Wusun immediately arranged for the army to carry out a massacre in Chigu City, and no one expected that when Wusun was defeated and retreated to Chigu today, there would be a great purge from within.

Outside Chigu City, Huo Guang and Xu Tuomi and a group of generals of the Hexi Army looked at Chigu City, which was bursting into the sky and shouting and killing. At the beginning, Xu Tuomi also swore that Huo Guang would attack the city, saying that the nobles who were loyal to him had already responded in the city. However, Huo Guang directly rejected this proposal, and quietly waited for the city of Chigu to gradually quiet down.

The fire in Akaya Castle gradually extinguished, and the shouts of killing quickly subsided, but the gates of Akiti Castle were still closed, and there were still a large number of Wusun soldiers guarding the castle tower.

"It seems that those internal reflections of yours have been cleared...... Huo Guang looked at the Chigu Castle that had subsided, and calmly turned around and returned to the camp. Huo Guang didn't think of taking the opportunity to storm Chigu City, but the Wusun people in the city will definitely resist stubbornly, when the terrain in the city is complicated, which is not conducive to cavalry combat, and the Han army will definitely pay great casualties in the street battle, the Hexi Army is Huo Guang's lifeblood, he would rather wait a little longer than attack Chigu City.

In the palace of Wusun Wang, Jun Sumi and Princess Xiongnu listened to the destruction of the nobles with different intentions, and finally the entire Chigu City calmed down again. During the whole process, Jun Sumi seemed a little dazed and at a loss, but his mother was still calm.

"How are the Han army and Xutuo's army outside the city arranged?" The Xiongnu princess asked Wusun Daxiang, and at this moment she replaced her son and became the top decision-maker in Chigu City.

"There are large armies on the east, west, south, and three sides, but there are no large-scale armies in the north yet." Prime Minister Wusun told the situation outside the city.

"Great, let's concentrate our forces to break through from the north gate, tens of thousands of troops will fight out of the city together, and then scatter and flee, they will definitely not be able to catch us, as long as we go to the Huns, we will be safe!" Jun Sumi looked at his mother, as if he saw a way out, and said with some urgency.

"Wait...... This is the Han people's plan to encircle three ques. The purpose is to break our fighting spirit to defend the city, so that the soldiers think that there is still a way to live. The Xiongnu princess hurriedly stopped Jun Sumi's thoughts, she actually knew the culture of the Han people and even the art of war.

"What then? Are we trapped in the city? Jun Sumi asked with a gloomy face.

"It's not that I don't do nothing, the prime minister immediately sent a team of 1,000 people to break through from the north gate with the banner .....of Kunmo," the Xiongnu princess said without hesitation.

Why is that? Didn't Mother say there was a trap? Wouldn't that be tantamount to giving up on the 1,000 men? Jun Su asked puzzled, even the Prime Minister of Wusun and the other Wusun nobles were puzzled.

Princess Xiongnu suddenly showed a smile on her face, and then said with some smugness: "It is precisely to give up this team, so that the soldiers and civilians in the city know that we can only defend one way." In fact, you don't have to worry too much, this Chigu Castle is built extremely strongly, and the Han army came from an expedition, and they will not carry grain and grass at all, they must have fed on cattle and sheep. The eating habits of the Han people are completely different from ours, and their blood is flowing with a desire for rice and grains, so that he can eat beef and mutton every day, and if he insists on it for a month at most, he will have physical problems. And our cattle and sheep in the city are enough to eat for three months, and the water source in the city is also extremely sufficient, so that the Han army will retreat in less than a month....... As long as the Han army retreats, the void will not be able to make any big waves! ”

"Ah......" Jun Sumi looked at his mother, he never thought that his mother would be so far-sighted and insightful. And the words of the Xiongnu princess are very reasonable, even the prime minister of Wusun and the nobles are convinced, and the haze on everyone's faces gradually dissipates.

At dawn on the second day of the "Metropolitan Governor .......", Shangguan Ji hurried to Huo Guang's tent, holding another big tent in his hand.

"What's going on?" Huo Guang slept with his clothes together all night, and when he heard Shangguan Ji's voice, he got up and asked.

"Sure enough, as expected by the Grand Governor, half an hour ago, a large number of Wusun cavalry poured out from the north gate of Chigu, including their Kun Mo Da Xuan. The last general obeyed the orders of the Metropolitan Governor, ambushed outside the city, and slaughtered all the Wusun cavalry after a fierce battle. However, in the end, the number of people was counted, and there were only 1,000 people in this team, and although there were big people, there was no Wusun magnates, they were all pawns...... "Shangguan Ji told him what happened before, and he also felt that this matter was a little strange, but he couldn't figure out the doubts.

"Oh? In this way, there are masters in this Akaya Castle...... It seems that they wanted to hold on to the city...... Chuan Xutuo came to see me, and you don't have to go north to ambush! Huo Guang first looked at Chigu City and smiled slightly, and then gave two more orders.
