Chapter 585: Tugu Hun is destroyed

Wang Ze had long hoped that the Sui Empire would take the initiative to ask for peace!

Because the current Xia Kingdom really doesn't have the ability to swallow the entire Sui Empire in one go!

After all, the Sui Empire is a super power, even if they have suffered heavy losses in successive battles before, they still have nearly a million troops and more than 40 million people at this time! Such a vast empire cannot be digested in a short time.

In addition, the benefits obtained by the Xia State from the war against the Sui Empire this time were also sufficient.

At this time, the Sanqi, Youzhou, and northern Bingzhou occupied by the Xia State, as well as the land of Hetao, also had a total population of more than five million, and if you add the population obtained from the coastal and county along the river, there may even be seven or eight million, although it was divided by the major vassal states with a population of more than two million, but the Xia State was really full this time.

After adding five or six million people, the population of Xia quickly increased to more than 40 million, which was already on par with the powerful Sui Empire in terms of population, but at this time, nearly half of the population of Xia was still minors under the age of eighteen, so in Wang Ze's view, this country was still a teenager who had just grown up.

The social relations of the Xia Kingdom, which has only been formed for decades, are still a very fragile system, and the nobles and powerful people within the Sui Empire have controlled the country for hundreds of thousands of years.

This made the nobles and powerful people within the Sui Empire in turn destroy the social culture of the Xia Kingdom that Wang Ze had cultivated with great difficulty, which was a possibility that Wang Ze did not want to see, so he would rather give up such a good opportunity to destroy the Sui Empire.

In addition, the decisive factor in Wang Ze's decision to stop attacking the Sui Empire was because the Western Turks had perished!

After the 400,000 allied troops of the Western Turkic organization were almost completely annihilated on the banks of the Mobei Frontal River, this result doomed the Western Turks to extinction.

The territory of the Western Turks is mainly in the Western Regions and the rich land in the river, of course, such a large piece of fat meat has to be grabbed in their own bowl, not to mention that the Western Regions and the middle of the river are vast and sparsely populated, and there are only three million people in such a vast land.

Therefore, Wang Ze decided to temporarily let go of the Sui Empire and agree to their request for peace, and then quickly seized the Western Regions and the land in the river, which will be used as a key development area for immigrants in the Xia Kingdom for 20 years.

Under the large-scale attack of Shi Haiguang and Li Hongyu, the Western Turkic royal court, which had migrated from Qiuzi to the banks of the Ili River, quickly fell, and the desperate Datou Khan watched his troops who were chased and killed commit suicide.

Then Shi Haiguang and Li Hongyu divided into two routes, and Li Hongyu led an army of 100,000 from Ili Water to the east with Han Zigao's army to sweep the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains in the Western Regions, and the major city-states, including Yiwu County, were conquered one after another.

Even though these city-states in the Western Regions were protected by strong and tall walls, everything was a cloud in the face of the Xia army's explosive offensive with great power.

Shi Haiguang led an army of 150,000 to attack the entire Lite city-states in the river, and some city-states reluctantly chose to surrender in the face of the strong threat of the Xia army, but more city-states turned to the Persians who seemed to be very powerful for help because they were unwilling.

Originally, Shi Haiguang thought that the Persians would not interfere in the war in the middle of the river at all, after all, his Xia army had defeated the powerful Western Turks, and how could the Persians, who were not the opponents of the Western Turks at all, come to provoke his own army.

But Shi Haiguang didn't know that there were some people in this world who didn't know what to do, and the Persians thought that the Xia army was a country thousands of miles away after all, and it was already the end of the crossbow to defeat the Western Turks to attack the land in the river, and they thought that the situation of their victory was very big.

So the Persian Empire sent an army of 200,000 to prepare to defeat Shi Haiguang's subordinates, and then contained the entire land in the river into its own territory, after all, the Rites were not only good at business, but also developed agricultural technology, and the rich land in the river was coveted by the Persians.

It is not that the countries in the river are not unaware of the ambitions of the Persians, but they are more willing to believe in the vague promises of the Persians for the strange Xia people, so the countries in the river once again forcibly requisitioned all the young and strong, and barely organized an army of nearly 200,000, and the 150,000 Xia army led by Shi Haiguang was also somewhat defeated in the face of these 400,000 enemies.

In order to ensure the fruits of the Xia army's own victory, Wang Ze, who was furious, ordered Wang Dong and Wang Rui to lead 50,000 troops each, and together with Yang Wu's 200,000 troops, they went to the river to support Shi Haiguang.

Even Wang Ze ordered Wang Hui, the second brother of the Aksumites, and He Liang, who continued to attack the Beizhi people west of the Xindu River, to send troops to cooperate with the Xia army to attack the Persian Empire from the south.

At the same time, the Fourth Fleet of the Xia Army, stationed in the Zhiyuan Islands (Socotra Islands), attacked the southern Persian Empire along the coast of the Persian Gulf by sea, and occupied the mouth of the Hogmuz Strait, where it established its own military base.

At this time, the Sui Empire had lost the entire Tuyuhun homeland and the Hexi Corridor, so they didn't even know much about what was happening in the Western Regions, let alone the wars that were taking place in the more distant places in the Transriver Land and the Persian region, so they fell behind in the peace talks due to information asymmetry.

In the face of various threats from the Xia Kingdom, as well as the ongoing attacks from all sides, the helpless Pei Ju could only keep the bottom line of being incompetent, but gave up part of the territory.

Boling County in the north of Hebei Province and Boling County in the south were ceded to the Xia army, and from then on, the Sui Empire and the Xia Kingdom were bounded by the Hutuo River in Hebei, and the boundaries of other places were subject to actual control.

In addition, in order to intensify the contradictions between Tuyuhun, Tubo and Xia, the Sui Empire ceded Xiping County (Xining), which was originally still in its own hands, to the Xia State, and then withdrew all the more than 100,000 Sui troops stationed there to Jincheng County on the east bank of the Yellow River.

Sure enough, a few days after the Sui army handed over Xiping County to the Xia army, the Tuyuhun people, who had received the news from the Sui army, were ready to defeat the Xia army, which was 'very weak' in combat, and occupied Xiping County.

The Tuyuhun people were completely dazzled by the retreat of the Sui army, and only they believed that this was because the Sui army was afraid of Tuyuhun's combat effectiveness, and the cunning Tubo people realized that the situation might be wrong, so they just vigorously encouraged the Tuyuhun people to seize back this city that originally belonged to 'themselves', but they did not rush forward.

Of course, the Xia army will not care about any matters of national unity, Fa Yan, who is in charge of the affairs here, has always been a bit murderous, and when he saw the Tuyuhun people coming to attack him, he immediately led the tens of thousands of Xia cavalry who had just arrived out of the city, and went up to beat the Tuyuhun people fatly.

After a big battle, the Xia army lost hundreds of people, on the other hand, the Tuyuhun cavalry, which originally had 70,000 people left, lost more than 40,000 people again, and the remaining 30,000 people scattered and fled, while the Tubo people fled one step ahead of time when they saw that the situation was not good.

Tuyuhun was still a feared military power even a hundred years ago, but now Tuyuhun, who has just been restored, is just a broken household, and no one can look at it except themselves, but they don't have this consciousness.

Fu Yun, the Khan of Tuyuhun, was enraged by this tragic loss, but Tuyuhun could not organize a stronger army for a while, so he again asked the Tubo army for additional assistance, and it was a big deal that he ceded the land south of Jishi Mountain to Tubo.

Soon Fu Yun Khan's request came true, and Tubo, who had a small population, reluctantly sent 50,000 troops to Tuyuhun again this time, for Tubo, which had a population of less than one million at this time, the army sent by these two times was actually nearly half of his youth.

But what Fu Yun didn't know was that the Tubo army came to Tuyuhun after thousands of dangers, not to learn to do good deeds, nor to be a red scarf, what people were plotting was his tribes and the vast grassland.

In Xia Jun's opinion, the grassland of Tuyuhun was already a high-altitude place with harsh conditions, but the Tubo people who came down from the higher altitude of Wanli Qiangtang looked like heaven, and the grassland of Tuyuhun was extremely attractive to them.

At this time, the number of Tuyuhun was already two and a half times that of the remnants of the Tuyuhun army, and after the arrival of this army, the Tubo people, who had long been impatient, quickly controlled all the Tuyuhun troops, and then killed all the other large and small nobles, leaving only Fuyun Khan to be sent to Pibo City to be raised, and all the other tribes were absorbed.

In this way, Tuyuhun quickly perished less than a year after its restoration, and Tubo also became stronger more than 20 years earlier than the original history, but this strength is only in terms of the area of the territory, and it is still difficult for Tubo, whose population is in poor natural conditions, to increase rapidly.

At the same time, at this time, there were many powerful countries such as Dongqiang Women's Kingdom, Yangtong, and Zhangxiong on the Qiangtang, so after Tubo seized the territory of Tuyuhun, he only migrated 200,000 troops from the Shannan River Valley to this prairie, and then seemed to be honestly waiting for the next opportunity to come.

Tubo swallowed the weak Tuyuhun in one gulp, and pushed his knife against the back of the Xia State in the Hexi Corridor, but the Xia State's strategy against Tubo at the mouth of the Ganges River did not stop, and the small countries that were destroyed by the Xia army already had more than 200,000 Han people in their hometowns, forming a very powerful force.

These Han settlements even developed along the Ganges River to the northern foothills, and the Xia army was only a thousand miles away from Pibocheng, and the threat to Pibocheng, the capital of the Tibetan state, had increased considerably.

Even the Tibetan Zanpu in the city of Pibo had already been aware of this, after all, there was also a lot of trade between the Tibetans and the Nibra, and they were already preparing to move the capital from the city of Pibo, located south of the Brahmaputra River, to Lhasa, Jiangbei, in order to avoid the growing threat of the Shannan Xia army.

In any case, from the forty-first winter of the Xia calendar, there was a rare scene of general peace in the whole world, and the war between the Sui Empire and the Xia Kingdom, the two most powerful empires in the world, came to an end, which also made everyone fall in the eye.

Of course, it would have been better if all this had not been disturbed by the Persians, who were not long-sighted, and because of this, the Persians were beaten very miserably by the angry Xia army.

Originally, the war was about to end, even if the soldiers of the Xia Kingdom loved war, but after fighting for so long, everyone was homesick, if it weren't for the Persians who had to come out to help the Rites, there would be no need to fight at all, and everyone was enjoying family fun at home.

Thinking of this, the Xia army's offensive against the Persians could not stand, not only did everyone take out all the hot and cold weapons to show the Persians, but they even used rare hot air balloons to attack the city of the Litres.

Under the powerful offensive of nearly 500,000 Xia troops, the Persian army was annihilated, and the Xia army swept through the entire land in the river, and after this round of war, the population of the countries in the river was completely reduced by half, and the Xia country was also preparing to migrate half of the remaining population to other places.

Even with the countries of the Western Regions, the same treatment is given, so that the Xia Kingdom only needs to migrate more than a million people to occupy more than half of the population here, and the bloodstains brought between the lines are also chilling.
