Chapter 224: Qishan and the Han Emperor

All the personnel in Qishan except for the eighteen "hussar soldiers" have entered the north of Qishan, and the court meeting is to be held, and without the court, the civil and military generals can only discuss in the simple wooden house for a while, discussing the situation after the Han army enters Qishan.

The court will summarize the future trend of the Qishan army and civilians, and reason about the movement of the Han army, that is, the Han army will definitely carry out a certain push-type search after entering Qishan City, if no anomaly is found in Beishan, it will be concluded that all the people of Loulan will be transferred out of Qishan, if ideally, the Han army will withdraw collectively within three or five people, or leave 18,000 troops stationed in it, so as to fully control Qishan.

As long as the soldiers and civilians of Qishan persist in the north of Qishan for three or five days, through a reasonable counteroffensive, they will be able to return to the city of Qishan and the places where all ethnic groups live.

On the third day of the Han army, the drums of the battle were beating, and the archers saw that there were no more people shaking on the wall of Qishan Pass, so they began to tentatively fire arrow feathers, and the climbing soldiers also began to advance towards the wall of the pass.

Eighteen hussars saw that the Han army began to attack the city, so they immediately withdrew from the pass city wall, here the injury is the most worthless, the most meaningless, eighteen people down the city wall, each of them rode on the prepared war horse, brought enough food and went straight to the southern deep forest in Qishan, of course, from the Qishan city to the southern deep forest is a sign of national transfer, such as a large number of footprints, ruts, a few civilian materials and so on.

The eighteen hussars quickly entered the forest, entered the pre-set area, and prepared to meet the Han soldiers who arrived in about an hour, and the trap was the main way to block the Han army and eliminate the Han army, of course, this main way was to lead the Han army to make a wrong judgment, so that the people in Qishan could safely avoid it.

An hour of silence was not long-lasting, and the Han climbing soldiers were able to climb the wall of Qishan Pass without hindrance, and from time to time reported to the enemy generals in front of the Han that there was no one in Qishan.

The Han army had a lesson from the defeat of the Han army in the city wall, so the Han marshal Zhao Chongguo once again issued a marshal order, ordering the Han army not to enter the Qishan Pass from the pass gate, and the Han army should occupy the pass city wall and the mountainside on both sides in the form of climbing, and occupy the initiative of the commanding heights.

At this time, another half an hour passed, and the Han army can be said to have completely occupied the pass city wall and all the commanding heights, and determined that the Loulan army had given up resistance and abandoned the pass city wall, Marshal Zhao Chongguo ordered the Han army to collectively march into the Qishan Pass, but I entered in a combat formation, which shows that the Han marshal is a person who is very careful about the battle.

The Han army can enter the city, Qishan City is full of Han troops for a while, Qishan City is not big, Marshal Zhao Chongguo quickly got the report of the ministries, the people of Loulan have gone to the city empty, and the signs of the transfer of the people of Loulan have also been reported to the Marshal of Han.

Han Marshal Zhao Chongguo immediately ordered several generals to bring nearly 10,000 soldiers to start pursuing, Xiang Yizhi's Han army rushed to the west of Qishan, entered the residence of the Qiangyi people, of course, all people went to the empty house, and returned to it with nothing.

The Han army to the south is in trouble, because there are signs, and they enter the primeval forest, where a large number of traps can be laid, and the eighteen hussars are waiting for the Han army, although it is a guide deception, but it must also be made.

With the Han soldiers entering the forest, the dead and wounded appeared, the news with the Han army's casualties has been transmitted to the Han marshal, the direction of the primeval forest naturally became the Han army's pursuit target for a while, the Han army has increased from time to time, and the trap will lose its effect with the passage of time and the death and injury of the Han army, and this is the time for the eighteen hussars to go out of the primeval forest.

It can be said that the Han army has been pursuing out of the primeval forest, chasing to the southern edge of Qishan, and chasing into the desert.

Of course, there are only eighteen hussars not far away in the desert, and they are gradually moving away, and it should be meaningless to chase them directly, the Han generals observed the ground situation of the primeval forest from time to time, and there were occasional rut marks in the sand, but they could not completely distinguish the direction, so they could only collect their troops and return to Qishan City.

The Han army occupied Qishan City in this way, and the generals of the Han army did not believe that the Loulan people could disappear into Qishan out of thin air overnight, disappear into the desert, and the primeval forests in the north were also searched, but because there were no signs, and there were snakes distributed in the forest, the soldiers had no reason to take risks, and it was reasonable to collect troops.

The people of Loulan disappeared into Qishan, and the 50,000 good army occupied an empty city like this!

The Han army was stationed in Qishan, and Wang Guifei used the flying pigeon to pass the news to Huo Guang of the Han Dynasty for the first time, waiting for his final order.

The 50,000 Han army can enter Qishan, and the military detectives of all countries in the Western Regions know about it, and they are all paying close attention to the specific situation in Qishan, wanting to know whether the Han army entering Qishan will completely destroy the Loulan Kingdom, or whether the Loulan Ancient Kingdom has surrendered.

The flying pigeon letter arrived in the hands of Huo Guang and reached the court, and the courtiers also knew the content, the Loulan people were not wiped out, but disappeared in the desert of the Western Regions, and the Loulan people were really difficult to deal with, difficult to destroy!

The letter knows that the Han Emperor Liu Xun and the court are going to immediately give instructions for the next step, and this instruction is the political opinion of the two sides, and it is a true portrayal of the hearts of the two people?

The Han Dynasty meeting began, the letter was presented to the court by Huo Guang, and the eunuch read it out in the court, because the people of Loulan did not know where to go again, the political opinions of the ministers were multifaceted, and there were political opinions that Qishan had a special geographical location, and Qishan had natural dangers, that is, it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it could radiate to East Asia and Central Asia, which was conducive to the future geographical expansion of the Han Dynasty and the control of the countries in the Western Regions.

The minister has political views to advocate the destruction of Qishan City, the army withdraws to the Han border, and it is enough to temporarily have a good county city in the Western Regions, because the Han Dynasty is expanding outward for an uncertain time, the army stays in Qishan to consume a lot of national strength over time, and the gains outweigh the losses.

The political opinions of the courtiers for a time were in response to the hearts of the Han Emperor Liu Xun and the general Sima Huoguang, because there were two inner reasons for the Han army's expedition.

Han Emperor Liu Xun is very clear in his heart, although he is now the emperor of the Han Dynasty, but he has no real power, no real military power, he has made concessions when he went on this expedition, that is, he has just personally supported a general Zhao Chongguo in the court, Huo Guang lent the Han Dynasty to the Han Dynasty when he went to Qishan, and spent the Han Dynasty's capital land!

Emperor Liu Xun of the Han Dynasty knew in the court that General Zhao Chongguo had entered Qishan City victoriously, and he was triumphant, and he should have returned triumphantly, and he was quite happy in his heart, hoping that the general he had personally supported would return to the court, and that he would have some military power for a while, and that he would have the right to balance the power of the court in the future.

Huo Guang's real power in the court is indivisible, of course, he doesn't want the general Zhao Chongguo to return to the dynasty and return to Chang'an, so he immediately knelt down and said: The minister has a political discussion to say, the minister thinks that General Zhao led the army to expel the Loulan people from Qishan for a while, and the Loulan people do not know where to go now, the geographical location of Qishan City is really important, and the soldiers of our Han Dynasty should stay in a part of Qishan City, and there are troops stationed in the Western Regions, which will definitely better control the countries of the Western Regions and deter the countries of the Western Regions!

General Zhao can be described as a majestic strategy, is the luck of the country, the luck of the people, now our Han Dynasty can be said that there are strong countries in the Western Regions, strong enemies, especially the Hun cavalry often invade our border, the minister thinks that if General Zhao guards the western border of my Han Dynasty, it is the most suitable to guard the capital of the Western Regions.

As soon as Huo Guang knelt on his knees and said this, the courtiers all shut up, who could not know the current affairs.

Emperor Liu Xun of the Han Dynasty could hear it clearly on the dragon chair, and he knew very well in his heart that Huo Guang's intentions were very clear, that is, he would not let the general he personally support return to the court, and he would not let himself have his own military strength in the capital Chang'an.

Liu Xun is smart, he has the courage to lie down, knowing that if he fights for a breath now, it is likely that he will be the second Emperor of Han Fei, and he will lose the throne and lose the opportunity to pant loudly in the future, so he said: Okay, General Huo said well, his face did not change and he issued a holy decree, and the border pass of the Western Regions had to need a military general to manage it, and ordered the Han general Zhao Chongguo to serve as the protector of the Western Regions, the general of the capital, the Marquis of Pingxi, the title of hereditary marquis of the family, and the Western Regions have been filled with 30,000 troops all year round.

This sentence was out of Huo Guang's expectations, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty heard it clearly, and the border needs 30,000 soldiers to be stationed all year round, can it be used?

Emperor Liu of the Han Dynasty had not yet completed the holy decree, and then issued a holy decree, ordering the Han vanguard general to lead 5,000 troops to defend Qishan City, and if there was a battle in Qishan or unpredictable battle conditions, he could lead his troops to abandon Qishan at any time and withdraw to the Shanjun City and the Western Regions Protectorate to ensure the safety of the army.

Liu Xun's holy decree was issued in a series, which changed the direction to increase the army under the command of the general Zhao Chongguo, and added 5,000 elite soldiers, which did not give Huo Guang the right to intervene on the ground, and intended to fight for Zhao Man's greatest military power.

Huo Guang knelt on the ground and listened carefully, and heard the tendency of Liu Xun's holy decree, but the holy purpose was above and below the court, and it was under the mouth of Emperor Liu Xun himself, and he also respected his own idea, although he had the right to speak, but in the debate, he really lost the way of the monarch and the minister, and he was in power, but it was clear that he was still a monarch and a minister, so he said: The minister obeyed the order, and the minister immediately flew a pigeon to pass the book to the Han general Zhao Chongguo, and passed the emperor's order directly to him.

The Han 50,000 army went on the expedition, and the ending in the Han Dynasty was basically in line with the meaning of the Han Emperor Liu Xun and the general Huo Guang.

Huo Guang conquered Qishan through the west, and did not let the general Zhao Chongguo, who was personally supported by Liu Xun, return to the court, keeping him away from the central power.

Emperor Liu Xun had a heavy army at the border of the Western Regions, which was of far-reaching significance and played an irreplaceable role in Liu Xun's ability to squeeze out the Huo family regime in the future.

It can really be described as "the monarch and the minister are deep in the city, and they are the same people, the face is in the court, and the heart is hidden in the skin"!
