Chapter 247: The Storm in the Western Regions
The people of the ancient country of Loulan in Qishan are hoarding reserve materials with the country's financial resources, and it can be said that the people have really paid for a while, and they have paid their own efforts, and the effect is naturally obvious, and the material reserve in the north of Qishan is finally full.
The stars are moving, time is a year, this year the national life in Qishan is very poor, the gross national product has been exchanged for materials, the Xiongnu citizens can move out of the north of the Tianshan Mountains, secretly stationed in the south of the Tianshan Mountains, of course, all this is secret, the Huns cavalry can form a strict patrol team on the border of their country, the purpose is clear, the Han military detectives want to enter the hinterland of the Xiongnu is impossible, and the Xiongnu cannot afford another heavy blow, that is, the extermination of the country!
Under the leadership of General Zhao Chongguo, the southward army of the Han Dynasty defeated the large and small countries in many regions of Hannan Zhao after several major battles and the martyrdom of countless generals and soldiers.
Hannan Xinjiang stabilized, General Zhao was nearly sixty years old at this time, in the Han Dynasty generals at that time was a pure old general, it can be said that for Liu Xun, for the Han Dynasty has made great achievements, Han Emperor Liu Xun has a number in his heart, so he issued a holy decree to the emperor, ordered General Zhao to return to Beijing to recuperate, ready to let his old age no longer run around to fight.
The world is unpredictable, Wang Guifei has been looking forward to General Zhao in the Western Regions, this expectation is not that his wife is looking forward to the return of the king, but that he has to point to General Zhao to lead the army to attack Qishan and destroy the Huns?
His heart does not allow Lan Qier and Ruan Xiangyu in the Western Regions, and now the hostility between Loulan and the Xiongnu is no more than two people, after the meeting of the Peacock River, I feel that only my own status, identity, and experience among the three women are so unworthy of mention, so humble, and my life is a failure, at least for now, the main opportunity must be found in old age, and I must ask for dignity and glory.
General Zhao defeated Nanzhao and returned to Chang'an in triumph, and there are signs of pension, how can this be good, as soon as General Zhao retires, the Han Dynasty's policy towards the Western Regions will change, no, so that he may not change in his lifetime, is it such a humble old death in the Western Regions?
Of course, Wang Guifei didn't want to, so she immediately thought about it, how to prompt General Zhao Chong to enter the Western Regions Protectorate again, and finally give Loulan Ancient Kingdom and the Xiongnu Kingdom a blow?
I thought about it, I thought of it, Wang Guifei did not play directly in the Han Dynasty, but wrote a long letter to General Zhao, in which he once again used rigorous language and detailed reasoning to explain the situation of the countries in the Western Regions, and it was the movement of the ancient country of Loulan and the Xiongnu in Qishan.
General Zhao received a letter from Wang Guifei from the Western Xinjiang in the general's palace, and his heart was really moved, on the one hand, he wanted to be the emperor of the Han Dynasty Liu Xun to completely solve the war in the Western Regions, and on the other hand, he really wanted to win the battle at his fingertips at the end of the battle.
After a few days of hesitation in General Zhao's heart, he looked through Wang Guifei's letter once a day, and finally couldn't bear it anymore.
Several of the main generals have also been close to General Zhao for many years, and most of the generals have been constantly promoted and rewarded in the war in the Western Frontier, and everyone knows in their hearts that it doesn't hurt to fight the Western Regions Frontier again, it is a matter of time, more than half a year and less than three months will be returned, the reward is natural, why not, so they all agree with the meaning of Wang Guifei's letter, and the Lord will fight again in the Western Regions.
General Zhao got the strong support of the generals, and decided to make it, and immediately wrote the fold, which means that although the minister is more than sixty years old, the Western Regions frontier has not yet been stable, and the minister knows that the emperor cherishes the old minister, and the more the old minister is supported in Beijing, the minister is willing to conquer the western frontier again, and is the responsibility of the last military general of the Han Dynasty's close courtiers, to ensure the stability of the Han border pass, and to protect the peace of the border people.
General Zhao's performance was naturally recognized by Emperor Liu Xun of the Han Dynasty, the emperor was immediately issued in the court, General Zhao was named marshal again, the army was at his disposal, nearly 10,000 troops set off from Chang'an, along the way from time to time there were generals to join it, the Han Western Xinjiang army with the arrival of General Zhao, in the continuous increase this, grain and grass are also gathered at the same time, hoarding, a few days but, nearly 30,000 troops gathered in the Western Regions capital within the scope of the city.
The Han army has reappeared within the scope of the capital of the Western Han Regions, and the military detectives and caravans of various countries have been aware of it, and as they move around, all countries know it, and the court of the ancient country of Loulan of the Xiongnu State is of course aware of it.
Lan Qi'er and Ruan Xiangyu both had a hunch that the Han army was not good, and there must be a goal, so they gave orders one after another, and the soldiers of the two countries began to be on first-level alert!
Wang Guifei transferred General Zhao out of Chang'an City with Feixin through very careful thoughts, not to mention how excited she was in her heart, nearly 30,000 troops could be assembled, and the war in the Western Regions was about to break out, and she knew very well in her heart that the war between the Han army and Loulan should be an end, and the people of Loulan avoided extinction in several battles, so they didn't believe it, and the people of Loulan could still disappear in the Qi Mountains and disappear in the desert?
After Wang Guifei welcomed the real Marquis of the Western Regions, General Zhao, in the Western Regions Protectorate, of course, she first asked about the battle of Hannan Zhao to show her concern, and the topic quickly turned to the battle strategy of the ancient country of Loulan.
There are more than ten generals on the wine table, and some of the generals have a very clear heart, come to fight, win the battle, win the battle, and return when you win, this situation can be said to be exactly what Qi wants, so that the king of the Western Regions must be himself, and the Western Regions is his own.
General Zhao had a precedent for the first two victories in this battle, and he didn't have too many worries in his heart, so he gave a general order on the wine table without thinking, and the soldiers of the Han army rested for a day within the scope of the Western Regions Protectorate, and the next morning the army went straight to Qishan City, and immediately fought to annihilate the ancient country of Loulan in one fell swoop.
Time flies, General Zhao has gathered as many as 25,000 heavy troops within the scope of the Western Regions Protectorate, and it is normal to leave some troops on the Han border, after all, there are still Hun cavalry to defend against it.
More than 20,000 Han troops marched out of the Western Regions Protectorate, passed by Shanjun City and did not enter, and went straight to Qishan City, where the Xiongnu and caravan scouts from various countries paid close attention to it and avoided it.
The Loulan military detectives reported to Qishan for the first time, and the people knew that the decisive battle of Han Loulan was just around the corner, and the Loulan Empress Lan Qi'er began to make the emperor's decree in the court, and the people were all filled with the army except for the old and young women and children, of course, it was not the existing army, it was just a reserve in advance, and the people in the prime of life also knew in their hearts that if it was necessary, they would have to face the Han soldiers head-on.
After the six ministers and officials received the imperial decree, they began to post the imperial decree all over the city, and there began to be a special person from the military department to collect reserve military service, and the transfer of the people was coordinated, and everything was carried out step by step, after all, there was still enough time, so there was no confusion among the people.
