Chapter 249

The 30,000 cavalry were only lightly armed, and in addition to carrying the necessary grain and grass, there was no logistical baggage to follow. Huo Guang has already liked this kind of cavalry running thousands of miles of combat methods, this kind of war to feed the enemy's cattle and sheep as military food, fight one place and go to the next place after a short repair.

"Zhao Ponu, Shangguan Ji." Less than half a day after the Hexi army left Yumen Pass, in a short repair time, Huo Guang called Zhao Ponu and Shangguan Ji to his side.

"What does the Governor command?" The two asked, clasping their fists.

"Order the two of you to lead 10,000 troops, march to the southwest, destroy all these small countries along Weisu, Yanqi, and Qiuzi, kill all the nobles, and let the surrendered people drive cattle and sheep to join our army in the lower reaches of the Yili River." On the way to Wusun, there were several small countries with populations of tens of thousands, and in Huo Guang's eyes, there was no need for these countries to exist.

"Nuo" Zhao Ponu and Shangguan Ji once again clenched their fists to receive their orders, they already knew these small countries in the Western Regions very well. The small countries that Huo Guang asked them to attack added up to less than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and the soldiers of these small countries in the Western Regions could not be compared with the fierce and elite Hexi Army, and it was not easy to defeat these countries.

After Zhao Ponu and Shangguan Ji left, Huo Guang and Li Ling also took the remaining 20,000 troops to Pu. On this route of Huo Guang's march, there are two countries in the Western Regions, Pu and Gushi. Pu is very small, only a small city, with only a few thousand soldiers but only a few hundred, but this Gushi is not only extremely important in terms of geographical location, but also has a population of nearly 50,000 and thousands of soldiers.

The cavalry galloped quickly, but in one day, Huo Guang's 20,000 troops had already arrived in Puzhi National City. In Huo Guang's eyes, this so-called city was just a relatively large town, and the clay walls in the desert oasis were less than two zhang high.

The hooves of the 20,000-strong army collapsed, and the whole earth trembled, and before Huo Guang's army reached Puzi, the residents of the city were already alarmed. The Pu soldiers at the city gate looked in horror at the sound of horses' hooves approaching in the night, and he only heard the endless sound of horses' hooves, and he couldn't tell how many people there were.

But there is one thing that all the Pu people know is that the earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves in the night is definitely not a passing caravan, it is a catastrophe

A moment later, panic and panic permeated the entire Pu City, and when the Pu soldiers at the Pu Gate had not yet made any decent resistance, a tidal wave of cavalry poured into the city, and those who had just picked up the uqi, or fled in a panic in the city, were either pierced by arrows, or cut to the ground by long knives, or pierced through their entire bodies by spears. But the cowards who were curled up on the ground or hiding in their homes were not killed.

There is a golden-domed building in Pu City, which seems to be the palace of King Pu, but at this moment, the king of this small country is already in a different place. Huo Guang didn't even have any interest in entering this palace, he still sat on horseback, watching the Pu people who had no resistance being pressed to the square in front of the palace by his soldiers.

"It's time to go." Huo Guang said to a subordinate beside him who was not wearing armor.

Then the middle-aged man, who didn't look like a soldier, let the horse sit down and took a few steps forward, and then said to the remaining more than 1,000 Pu people in the square in their Pu language: "This is the Marquis of Anyang of the Great Han, the Grand Governor of the Western Regions Governor's Mansion. The Metropolitan Governor said, from now on you will be the people of the Great Han, as long as you accept the decree of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, the Metropolitan Governor will keep you safe forever. However, if there is anyone who betrays the Han and betrays the governor, these corpses will be your fate! ”

The person who spoke was not a soldier of the Hexi Army, but an interpreter of a commercial house, and this time Huo Guang went to Wusun and brought dozens of translators who were fluent in the Chinese languages of the Western Regions. While Huo Guang was killing and surrendering in Puzhi City, Zhao Ponu and Shangguan Ji were also doing the same thing in Qiuzi and other countries.

The Western Regions don't need to have so many countries, and they don't need to be divided into races and nationalities. What Huo Guang has to do is to turn all of them into his own people, his own soldiers and logistical support.

The few remaining thousands of people naturally chose to surrender to the Han Dynasty, for whom survival was more important than integrity, and they did not even believe in the nonsense of loyalty to the king. And what made them most excited was that Huo Guang promised that under his rule, they were no longer slaves, but upright Han people, they could own their own private property, and all their labor would be paid.

After waiting for a few months or even a few years, these alien races in the Western Regions who surrendered to Huo Guang suddenly discovered that their lives were actually better than before, and what Huo Guang brought them was not the hatred of destroying the country, but liberation and freedom, so that they had the opportunity to change their fate with their own hands, and they did not have to survive as slaves for generations.

Feudalism may not be the best form of society, but it is more popular than pure slavery. When all the original nobles of the Western Regions were slaughtered by Huo Guang, the original slaves became the subjects of the Western Regions Governor's Mansion of the Han Dynasty, and they naturally knew something called rights and obligations.

As slaves, everything including their lives belonged to the noble slave owners, and as the children of the Han Dynasty, they enjoyed the right to receive remuneration for their labor, enjoyed the freedom of life, and the right to private wealth. As people, they only have to bear part of the obligation to build the country, but they will be protected by the whole country, and this is also the obligation of the state.

Gushi's battle is not much more dangerous than Pu's, even if Gushi's city is stronger and taller than Pu's, even if Gushi's soldiers are more heroic than Pu's, when all this is not much different from the cavalry of the Hexi Army, the only difference may be that Gushi is killed more people

Yilishui, which is a river that runs through the western part of the Western Regions, descends from the Kunlun Mountains, and crosses the north and south, he has created a vast grassland and given birth to countless cattle and sheep. And it was on both sides of this river that the Wusun Kingdom thrived, and eventually became a powerful country in the Western Regions.

Now Yilishui is bounded by east and west, and the territory on the east side is slightly smaller, and it has actually become the control area of Xutuomi, while the large territory on the west side is the control area of his father, Wusun Kunmo. The royal city of Wusun, 'Akaya Castle', is located in the hinterland of 300 miles on the west bank of Irisu.

Downstream of Yilishui, there is a flat wetland grassland, which is the place where Xutuomi and Huo Guang agreed to meet. When Huo Guang arrived at this place, he had already seen that the flat grassland was covered with camp tents that stretched for several miles, and a middle-aged man in his thirties, who looked very similar to the Huns, was in a distant formation with tens of thousands of cavalry to greet him.

"Xutuo greets the Governor of the Metropolis" When Huo Guang approached the Wusun army, the man at the head had already dismounted, his right hand on his left chest, and bowed his head to Huo Guang. And the language he spoke turned out to be intermittent Chinese, although he was still a little unproficient, but he was already able to understand it clearly.

This is the first time Huo Guang has communicated with the Wusun people, judging from their appearance and etiquette, Wusun should belong to the branch of the Xiongnu, this Xutuo seems to have only recently started to learn Chinese, Huo Guang can't help but look up to him a few points.

"Da Lu has a heart, Huo Guang has seen Da Lu!" Huo Guang also dismounted and bowed his hand in return, and now he has not officially canonized Xutuomi, so Huo Guang still calls him an official position in Wusun.

"I want to tell Dalu a happy event, His Majesty the Emperor's canonization edict and the golden seal crown and other things are already on the way. When we take Akaya Castle, I will personally canonize Dalu! Huo Guang said to Xu Tuomi with a smile on his face, and on the way here, Huo Guang had already received the Pegasus Express from the Dadu Governor's Mansion.

Huo Guang has always attached great importance to the transmission of the news, so when the crown and other things prepared by the emperor for Xutuo Mi had not been sent to Hexi, Huo Guang had already known the news in advance.

A Hu merchant beside Xutuomi hurriedly translated Huo Guang's words, although Xutuomi was already able to speak in Chinese simply, but it was still a little difficult, and the understanding of some words was not accurate, so he still needed to translate.

"Mengda Governor favors love, Wusun will be the Metropolitan Governor for generations to guard the northern frontier of the Western Regions, and this will be the most loyal subordinate of the Metropolitan Governor!" Xu Tuo Mi once again bowed to Huo Guang with the highest etiquette of Wusun, and the caravan translator beside Huo Guang had accurately translated Xu Tuomi's words to Huo Guang.

"If you keep your promise, your descendants will be the king of Wusun forever." Huo Guangtou promised to repay Li that Xutuo Mi had already regarded himself as a subordinate, and Huo Guang would naturally not treat him as an outsider.

"Please inspect the warriors of Wusun!" With a wave of his thick arm, he pointed at the Wusun cavalry camp behind him. Huo Guang had long known that this time Xutuomi had brought 20,000 cavalry, which was almost the largest force he could mobilize, and as a courtesy, it was an attitude of loyalty for Huo Guang to inspect these Wusun cavalry.

Huo Guangran happily marched side by side with Xutuomi, and the 20,000 Wusun cavalry had already lined up neatly, and the 20,000 troops lined up in that formation was also very weathering. Huo Guang looked at these Wusun cavalry but kept thinking about it in his heart, he found that these Wusun cavalry were almost the same as the Hun cavalry, and the UQI of the Wusun cavalry was much worse, the iron UQI was extremely rare, and most of them were relatively primitive bronze UQI. Such 20,000 cavalry, Huo Guang was confident that 10,000 Hexi troops would defeat them.

"How many soldiers and horses does your father have in Akiti Castle?" Huo Guang slowed down his horse and asked Xutuomi.

Xutuo Mi leaned forward slightly, and replied in Chinese, which was not fluent: "I gathered troops here a few days ago, and my father probably already knew that this battle would inevitably start to gather his army, and there should be 60,000 cavalry in Chigu Castle. But I've already contacted a lot of nobles in Akaya Castle."

"Oh? Now that your father is ready, let's defeat him with dignity! "There are 60,000 cavalry in Hunting Jiaomi, which is similar to Huo Guang's expectations, and at the same time, he glanced at Xutuo Mi again. With only 20,000 troops, he dared to turn against his father, and he could also contact the nobles in the royal city to bury a secret hand, and this person was also a bold and decisive person.

As for the 60,000 Wusun cavalry of Hunting Jiaomi, Huo Guang could defeat it in many ways, but this time he had to fight the Wusun cavalry in a dignified and honest manner outside Chigu City. After all, the Western Regions will be conquered by iron hooves and blades, and only after this battle is completed, whether it is the momentum of the Hexi Army or the morale of the countries of the Western Regions, the road to conquest will be much easier in the future!
