Chapter 185: Qishan City After the War

The Han army withdrew from the Qishan area, and the scouts from the Western Regions quickly reported back to their respective countries what they had learned.

The results obtained by the Xiongnu soldiers were disappointed by the Xiongnu Dadan, the Han army had no food and grass, and there was no final battle with the ancient country of Loulan and the final blow to Qishan City.

Although the preparations for the battle of Qishan City have weakened with the increase in the number of deaths, as the sun rises, the soldiers have rushed to their own areas of duty, preparing to fight for the country.

Lan Qi'er and the others climbed the pass city wall as always, watching the soldiers and civilians in the city still preparing for the battle and being busy.

Lan Qi'er's heart recalled from time to time, whether she was right or wrong to advocate moving the country, right, why is this situation now, the people are preparing for war, bleeding, fighting against oppression, and the soldiers and civilians are not living an ideal life!

Could it be that if the ancient country of Loulan surrenders, there will be no war, and in the case of the oppression of the country of Loulan in the future, will the people be able to stabilize and survive in peace?

In the end, I still gave myself an answer, that is, even if the ancient country of Loulan did not move the country, surrendered, and surrendered to the Han Dynasty, the people would really have no independent rights with submission, and they would be oppressed anytime and anywhere, and war was inevitable, because the Han Dynasty oppressed the ancient country of Loulan into one of its counties, and it was just taking advantage of the special position of the ancient country of Loulan to turn the ancient country of Loulan into a cutting-edge tentacle to deal with the Xiongnu State.

Once the Xiongnu is strong, the first thing to attack must be the ancient city of Loulan, the Han army is not much in the ancient city of Loulan, the people of Loulan do not transfer, then in order to save their lives, they have to participate in the war, war is inevitable, so what if it goes on?

From time to time, there was a sound of drumming in the direction of the Han military camp, and all the soldiers and civilians on the Qishan city wall and the mountainside on both sides of the pass looked at the direction of the Han army barracks.

This behavior to Lan Qi'er and General Lan Da and others of the psychological reflection is not good, because the Han army is a victorious division, after two days of fighting, although the Han army was defeated, but the number of Han soldiers is still nearly 20,000, pulling out the village and falling into the camp, it is likely that the Han army is going to make the last strong attack, and there is no preparation for the soldiers to fight again, so General Lan Da immediately issued a general order, and all the participants prepared for the final decisive battle.

General Landa's general order was issued to all departments, but the fact surprised the Qishan army and civilians, with the completion of the assembly, the Han army did not go straight to the Qishan Pass, but set off in the opposite direction, and the military village has been completely demolished, leaving some miscellaneous trees on the ground, is it that the Han army retreated without a fight? Did the Han army admit defeat like this?

Everyone is suspicious, the general sent a scout to return to the city, the appearance of the scout gave the answer, that is, the grain and grass of the Han army was robbed by the Hun cavalry, the Han army has no grain and grass, nearly 20,000 soldiers, there is no grain and grass, so what is the combat power, there is the possibility of war, there is a reason to retreat, the reality is that the Han army withdrew from the battle.

General Lan Qi'er Lan heard the proclamation of the military detective, and knew the inside story for a while, of course, the proclamation of the military detective spread immediately, the battle for the country was won, Qishan City was safe, and the people did not have to be casualties, and the cheers were everywhere for a while.

General Lan Da got the imperial order of Empress Lan Qi'er, and the state of combat readiness can be lifted, and the lifting is lifted, but the responsibility of the army for the defense of the city has always been there, and it cannot be relaxed with the departure of the Han army, and the duty is heavy and the road is long!

The people in Qishan City naturally entered a period of grief after a moment and a half of joy, because the people of Qishan paid a heavy price in this war, and the soldiers and civilians suffered nearly 3,000 casualties, accounting for as much as one-tenth of the people in proportion, which shows the degree of damage to the country and the people of the war.

The court meeting then began, Lan Qi'er sat on the dragon chair, the civil and military ministers had all arrived, and everyone at the court meeting did not have the joy of victory, and they all knew the situation of the people in this battle.

Lan Qi'er is going to speak first, Empress Lan Qi'er said, now my Loulan people have gone through a united war for the country, for a while to maintain the dignity of the country, the sovereignty of the people, but the casualties are heavy, the soldiers and civilians who fought for the country are the heroes and pride of our Loulan people, and the soldiers and civilians who died and injured for the country and the people are worthy of our respect and love.

Time flies, three days later, according to the experience of the Han army's attack, Qishan City has a new defense plan, the traps in the primeval forest are reasonably increasing, and two military stations are set up to prevent the exploration and investigation of military scouts from various countries.

A lookout is set up on the top of the mountain on both sides of the pass, and a special team is responsible for the shift system, and the height of the lookout can be seen from all the conditions around Qishan, which greatly expands the scope of early warning.

The battle path opened by the Han army when attacking the primeval forest was naturally to be restored to its original state, and it was transplanted with various flowers and trees, which could not be distinguished after some time.

Everyone in Qishan knows that the area of Qishan is vast, Qishan City only occupies a small part, the primeval forest is a natural barrier, no one knows how big the area is, although General Lan Da took more than 20 investigators to enter the early stage for a few years, but the personnel are few, the task is heavy, it is impossible to thoroughly explore the source of the primeval forest, and can only be based on the situation of the country.

All the planning and design in Qishan City has been completed, mainly to deal with the war, the war is terrible, especially for a country with a small population and weak national strength!

After the Han Dynasty army withdrew under the order of Marshal Qin, Wang Guifei returned to the city of Shanjun and continued to be her lord of Shanjun, Marshal Qin left the task to be completed, because the destruction of the ancient country of Loulan and the level of Qishan City was also what she wanted, and she hated Lan Qier in her heart.

Marshal Qin returned to the dynasty, the defeated general must give the Han Dynasty and General Huo Guang an explanation, all this is not recorded in the history books, not recorded in the history of the Han Dynasty, kneeling on the Han Dynasty Hall, Marshal Qin as the main narrator, telling the reasons for the defeat, on the one hand, the Qishan Mountain, where the ancient country of Loulan moved to the country, is a special situation, the terrain is complex, there are dangerous passes into the mountain, it is difficult to attack, and the mountains are all primeval forests, most of the soldiers are killed and injured in the trap under the trap of the organ without seeing the Loulan soldiers, and they are injured in the trap of the non-battle.

On the other hand, because the Han Dynasty had a grudge with the Xiongnu for generations, the Hun cavalry joined the battle at the same time as the army attacked Qishan, which helped the Loulan army and raided the grain and grass of our army, so that our grain and grass were completely gone, resulting in our army having to withdraw in advance in order to fight in the future.

The other accompanying generals knelt down on the court from time to time, in line with Marshal Qin's report, of course, to exonerate themselves from the defeat.

Huo Guang is the real general of the Han Dynasty, Marshal Qin and others are his cronies, seeing that things are already like this, defeat is defeat, blame is useless, plus he is now presiding over the government in place of Emperor Zhao of Han, the princes of the Han Dynasty are eyeing the regime of the Han Dynasty, in order to control their absolute control over the army, they have to do it, and the defeated generals are not heavily punished, but only symbolically punished for a year or half a year.

Of course, the ministers in the court have political opinions, because the casualties of the Han soldiers this time are too heavy, but they know who is in charge of the court, and they are silent when they see the situation, so as not to provoke criticism and offend people.

The generals naturally knew the result of the battle, but more than 10,000 soldiers were killed and wounded, and the crime could be so light, and there were a number of people in their hearts, constantly thanking the general Huo Guang.

The territory of the Han Dynasty was so large that for a time because the kings had their own desires, which led to the division of national strength for a while, and the court's financial resources were not enough to concentrate troops to go out immediately, so they could only do it for a while.

After several years of development and plunder, the Xiongnu country has greatly increased and hoarded national strength and personnel, and Da Dan Yu Achalu also has his own son Yeluqi (born to Ruan Xiangyu), with the birth of Yeluqi, Ruan Xiangyu can crush Princess Anfu in the hearts of the Xiongnu people, and now the right to speak has weight in Da Dan Yu Achalu.

The Hun cavalry then became more powerful, the horse's hooves did not stop, the Han border was its best source, and it was occasionally blocked by the Han soldiers in the city of Shanjun, but that was only an individual situation, and it could not prevent the cavalry from killing, burning and plundering the Han border people.

Qishan City has gone through two battles with the Han army, and the movement in the Western Regions can attract the attention of various countries, and the battle situation is naturally within the scope of the exploration of military detectives from various countries.

The countries of the Western Regions began to send envoys to Qishan City to submit their credentials and discuss trade matters.

Lan Qi'er happily accepted the friendly gestures of various countries in the court, and attached great importance to it in her heart, because Qishan City had just gone through a cruel war, and domestic materials were already very scarce, and trade was imperative, so she gave a positive reply to the ministers of various countries. The Loulan Ancient Congress immediately built a post station outside the pass to facilitate the caravans of various countries to stop, and of course the trade caravans of various countries would receive special protection from the soldiers of the country.

The envoys of various countries received the personal commitment and reply of Empress Lan Qi'er of Loulan, and naturally successfully completed the mission given by the monarchs of various countries, and returned to China with satisfaction.

With the rise of the trade area outside the Qishan Pass, caravans from various countries began frequent and fair trade transactions.

Lan Qi'er is the empress of Loulan, and she has just experienced a war, so she has to choose the place of trade outside the Qishan Pass, mainly to prevent soldiers from various countries from entering Qishan City to find out the city defense information, and bring unnecessary trouble to the city defense in the future.

The ancient country of Loulan from the day of the move to the end of the source of the neutral country, the oppressed country, has grown into an independent kingdom, although the national strength is still very weak, the population is still relatively small, but with the help of the Qishan natural risk, has been able to compete with the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty for a while, the ancient country of Loulan did not invade, but has the power to hold on, for the stable life of the people has laid a solid foundation!
