Chapter 586: Internal Fighting in the Western Frontier
The western frontier of the Han Dynasty, the western territory is vast, originally outside the western territory of the Han Dynasty, there are dozens of countries, among which some of the countries closest to the Han Dynasty are subject countries of the Han Dynasty, which is called the Western Xinjiang. In fact, it was not really the land of the Han Dynasty, at least a dozen years ago.
Of course, there are some ambitious people among them, or some of the most vicious people who occasionally storm the western frontier. Therefore, there have always been more than a dozen heavy troops stationed in the western border, and the number is as high as one million. Even so, it can only prevent some important border towns, and the surrounding areas are already full of harassment.
In the rebellion of the Demon Kingdom that year, the Demon Kingdom almost wiped out the capital of Hanjing, and the western frontier drew most of its forces. Although the Han Dynasty also temporarily organized two or three million troops to resist, how could this temporary army be compared with the elite, at that time it could be said that the entire western frontier had become a mess.
It's just that no one expected that the Han Dynasty would survive the catastrophe of the Demon Kingdom, and not only that, but the king of the town also rose in the sky. At that time, the remnants of the demon kingdom also fled from the west, and the king of the town pursued and killed them all the way, and took the opportunity to quell the war in the western border.
Just when everyone thought that everything would return to the previous situation, the town king was not like the other commanders who guarded the western border, first of all, he unexpectedly set up the town king's mansion in a vassal state in the western frontier at that time. In the name of beauty, help the subject country to pacify the remnants of the demon clan and investigate the demon clan thoroughly. At that time, it caused a lot of sensation, and it was also very inexplicable, after all, the western territory is vast, and without the help of the western border towns and the army, he, the king of the Han Dynasty, came here to sit in the town.
In fact, at that time, there were already rumors that the king of the town was powerful and would definitely rebel. Therefore, some people think that the king of Zhen is avoiding suspicion, staying away from his own army, and not controlling the army of nearly two million people who have been trained through countless battles in the western frontier at that time.
Subsequently, the imperial court successively transferred nearly 1.5 million elite troops in the way of guarding the turmoil of the demon beasts in the eastern forest and supporting other frontiers, and most of the other armies were also disrupted.
For a time, the strength of the western frontier was extremely weak, and some countries in the western frontier that only had interests in their eyes immediately looked for an opportunity to take action and obtain benefits, and for a time the western frontier was in turmoil, and the imperial court had an excuse to adjust the army on a large scale.
Almost for the first year or so, everyone believed that the imperial court had been able to completely weaken the power of the town king, and even if he did not kill the town king in the short term, he would not have any threat.
But just when everyone thought that the king of the town was finished, the king of the town suddenly made a piece of evidence public to the world, which was all kinds of evidence that a small country in the western frontier had looted the towns in the western border, burned, killed and looted. And within three days of the king of the town announcing the evidence, the king of the town stubbornly pacified the country with the 30,000 pro-troops he brought with him.
If this was the first time it was sudden, then then the king of the town successively announced the incriminating evidence of some countries, many of which were already prepared, and even the union of the seventeen countries had occurred.
You must know that Western Xinjiang has been in turmoil for thousands of years, and it is already a place of three carelessness, and there are many demons and monsters in it. There are also many ancestors of all kinds, either for self-preservation, or they are inextricably linked with those small countries, and these countries are also desperate to invite power. Therefore, in terms of the number of strong men and the number of troops, it is difficult for the king of the town to match him.
You must know that after the king of the town swept several countries one after another, the elite army of the seventeen countries combined alone was enough to have a huge 2.6 million troops. Two grandmaster-level old demons were invited, dozens of gods existed, and there were countless other masters.
At that time, there were still only 30,000 pro-troops and 150,000 other integrated troops around the king of Zhen, but those troops could only protect the place. No one thought that the king of the town could win that battle, and it was a huge momentum.
And because all the battles took place in the western frontier, the Han Dynasty was happy to see it happen, and directly ordered all the important towns in the western border not to move, in the name of preventing the invasion of the army.
It's just that no one expected that when the 2.6 million army of the Seventeen Nations Alliance swept through many countries pacified by the king of the town and directly killed the country where the king's mansion was located, an elite army of 200,000 suddenly appeared. But even with these 200,000 elite troops, the King of Zhen could only barely defend in the face of such a terrifying number of Seventeen Nations Alliance.
Later, news gradually came that nearly 100,000 of the more than 1 million troops who had been transferred away had disappeared at the beginning of the war. And they are all the elite, and the remaining tens of thousands of people are quickly gathered from some scattered forces in Western Xinjiang. Only then did people know that the king of the town had clearly been prepared.
But even so, King Zhen was still in danger, because he didn't have any backup, and even at that time, everyone knew that the Han Dynasty was secretly supporting the Seventeen Nations Alliance.
And the king of Zhen didn't know how to use it, and in the western frontier, he still let the Wuchen Kingdom, the Jinwu Kingdom, and the Dragon Elephant Kingdom take refuge at the same time under the crisis. These three countries are not too powerful, but the three countries joined forces, and they still took advantage of the emptiness of the Seventeen Kingdoms, and only 150,000 elites wiped out several countries one after another.
The backyard of the Seventeen-Nation Alliance caught fire, and it was a mess, after all, their own homes were destroyed or threatened, how could they care so much. The king of the town took advantage of the chaos of the coalition army and nearly a million troops to attack and retreat, and the battle after a siege that lasted for three whole months was also earth-shattering.
The battle ended in a victory for the King of Zhen, after which it took him a year to pacify the Seventeen Kingdoms and establish a powerful power in the midst of thousands of years of chaos in the western frontier. Subsequently, the king of the town continued to play to the court to expand the territory, and almost every month to pacify a country, so that the court was almost rewarded.
However, the imperial court at that time still wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to control the western frontier, and also sent many people with the army, but he did not expect that the king of Zhen was ruthless, and directly beheaded two deputy marshals in the western border, twelve generals, and hundreds of generals and thousands of middle-level officers in one go.
The key to uprooting almost all the forces that the imperial court had deployed on the western frontier in one fell swoop was that the evidence they had was conclusive. Moreover, with the prestige of pacifying nearly 20 countries, the king of Zhen instantly controlled a million troops in the west, and with the power in the western frontier, the imperial court could only tolerate this matter. It was also from that time that the crown prince began to supervise the country, and he pretended to ignore such a big thing.
Later, the king of Zhen continued to use troops in the western Xinjiang, and the ordinary people of the Han Dynasty in the back, and even the ordinary officials and ordinary people did not know how much influence the king of the town had in the western Xinjiang. There are more than 30 countries in the western frontier that he directly pacified, and it is said that if the western frontier is completely pacified, the territory may not be smaller than that of the Han Dynasty.
But the later it became, the more no one knew the specific situation, but everyone knew that the real Zhenwang Mansion was not in the western border town of the Han Dynasty, but in the current Dragon City in the western frontier.
Speaking of Dragon City, although the Han Dynasty tried its best to block the news, it has also been known to the world for so many years. The Son of Heaven always boasts of being a true dragon, but the place where the town king's mansion re-established by the king of the town is located is named Dragon City, and its meaning is already obvious.
Today's Yulong City is not inferior to the prosperity of Hanjing City, and it may lack some sense of heritage, but because it is located in the western Xinjiang, a place that has been chaotic for thousands of years. Many countries have a myriad of characteristics, and their special features are far beyond the comparison of Hanjing City.
In the Royal Dragon City, in the town king's mansion, there are some people who are quickly arranging at this moment, although it is not a lantern, but it is also tidy.
Although it is rumored that the king of the town was assassinated, the high-level officials of the king of the town know that it is just a doppelganger of the king of the town, but the court believes so, and the king of the town does not have any news, which also makes everyone's hearts heavy, and they all know that the king of the town is afraid that this time it is really bad luck.
"Get out, who asked you to arrange it, boom ......" When a group of palace maids and subordinates were arranging, there was a sudden roar. The voice was rough and shocking, and it instantly impacted outward, and more than a dozen people in the courtyard were all thrown out, and the powerful impact also made the newly arranged things in the courtyard explode one after another, and suddenly the front yard of the king's mansion in the entire town was in chaos.
For a while, the guards outside the courtyard thought that something was wrong, and rushed in to investigate, and several powerful divine thoughts probed over, but then they all immediately shrank back.
There is no other reason, this red-haired man with scattered hair, obviously has the exotic characteristics of Western Xinjiang, has a high nose bridge, is two heads taller than ordinary people, and the man who opened his mouth and roared at this moment is the second prince Xia Lei.
"Two... The second prince... This... This is to meet the divine decree, is... It was ordered by the third prince...... "Flutter ........." A person in charge who had just been shaken over hurriedly got up and said carefully, but before he finished speaking, a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"Holy decree, whose holy decree, I only have the will of my father in Dragon City, and the holy purpose of his bullshit Hanjing City is a fart in our Dragon City, and we still need to greet it, then it's not even as good as a fucking piece of paper to wipe your ass, get out of the way, bang!" Xia Lei directly raised his foot and kicked the steward over. In fact, in the Imperial Dragon City, I only knew the king of the town for a long time, and I didn't know who the emperor of the Han Dynasty was.
In fact, there is no need for this steward to say, Xia Lei also knows what is going on, and the news has already spread. The Han Dynasty named Xia Feng as the new king of the town, but the news came out quickly, but the holy decree was not just a notice, especially this kind of appointment, which was even more important, and it required important ministers of the court and eunuchs to announce the decree and many etiquette.
In fact, this time Xia Lei came back on the orders of his eldest brother Xia Hu, firstly, to contact the people in Royal Dragon City, and secondly, to sabotage the matter of receiving the order he did.
"Second brother, this kind of thing can't be said nonsense, even if it is a subject country, it can't be disrespectful to the lord of the state, even if the father is there, it has never been like this, the second brother still has to be cautious, not to mention that the second brother is a general guarding the border, why did he go back to the house without permission?" At this moment, suddenly someone from the inner mansion spoke, the voice naturally carried a majesty, not in a hurry but very magnetic, as the words fell, a brocade shirt dressed in a short shirt, very Xijiang characteristics of the face of the elegant young but calm handsome man walked out.
