Chapter 428: Internal Affairs
After smashing things, King Gaochang urgently convened a meeting to discuss countermeasures. ”
Three days later, the Loulan girl received documents from various countries, saying that she would not participate in Loulan's internal affairs.
Since then, Dawei has become a righteous soldier and fought against Gaochang for Loulan.
After receiving a definite reply, Yuan Wanshan immediately reorganized his army and continued to advance westward.
In the main city of Gaochang country, everyone has changed color.
A few days passed, but the palace ministers still did not discuss the results, and they were divided into two factions: fighting and not fighting.
Among the thirty-six kingdoms, Gaochang was powerful, developed an arrogant and domineering national style, and felt that it was necessary to fight against Great Wei.
There are also many people who are timid and afraid, and the two countries compare their national conditions. What kind of war?
The difference between ants and elephants, is it to want to die?
Therefore, the two factions kept quarreling and did not discuss a good result.
King Gaochang was very dissatisfied, "The quarrel is dead." ”
He looked at his ministers with an angry look on his face.
Actually, he was also very hesitant. war, Gaochang Kingdom will undoubtedly lose, I am afraid that it will lose a lot of money, and it will change from a top power in the Western Regions to a weak country.
If you don't fight, your status will plummet, and you will be ridiculed by all nations.
"The King." One of the courtiers shouted weakly.
King Gaochang squinted, and couldn't remember who he was for a while, and he must not be a courtier who could talk at ordinary times.
"What's the matter?"
"The minister feels that he should surrender, and he is a big man who can bend and stretch. Keeping strength, face is nothing.
After the Wei army leaves, we are still the strongest in the Western Regions, and who in other countries dares to laugh at our country? ”
A minister of the main battle faction snorted coldly, "It's easy, haven't you seen the fate of Turpan and the Turks?" How much money was lost?
The Turks were even worse, not only did they have to lose money, but they were also excused and sent troops to station. ”
"It's different. Turpan first harassed the Great Wei border, and it was reasonable for the Great Wei to pay compensation.
As for the Turks, Dawei was attacked by a sneak attack just by borrowing a way, and it makes sense to pay compensation.
But, if you think about it, Gao Changguo has not done anything, and if we surrender, if he dares to claim compensation, it will be tantamount to an invasion.
We can ask the countries to send troops, and I believe that the countries will not have an opinion. ”
The courtier who had spoken earlier responded calmly.
When everyone heard this, it seemed to be the truth.
The current name of Great Wei is to go out on behalf of Loulan, and as long as Gaochang surrenders, Great Wei has no reason to seek compensation from them.
It's just a matter of surrendering, losing face and preserving strength.
The conference room was suddenly audible, and a few seconds later, a heated discussion began, and the two factions quarreled, and finally King Gaochang made a decision to listen to the words of the person just now.
As a result, before the Wei army arrived at the main city, Gao Changguo sent a proclamation to the thirty-six countries, announcing their surrender.
At the same time, Yuan Wanshan also received a surrender document and had to stop his march.
They were all blinded, and they surrendered just after a battle?
The Gaochang envoy smiled flatteringly, "General, do you accept the surrender of our country?" ”
Yuan Wanshan's face sank like water, disgusted to look at him.
This time the troops were sent out for another purpose, but the situation in the Western Regions was complicated, and if they did not accept surrender, I was afraid that other countries would send troops to condemn them, and then they would form an alliance together, and the crusade would be hopeless.
After thinking for a while, Yuan Wanshan and the military department Shangshu dismounted.
"Accept your surrender."
The high-level envoy smiled with a slight meaning, "General Xie, the villain will leave immediately." ”
After saying that, he turned around and ran.
The saint felt that there were ghosts, Gao Changguo, and Da Wei might not understand, but she knew it very well.
"The people of Gaochang have always been domineering, how can they surrender in humiliation? Incredible. ”
The head of the military department was raised and he looked at people with his nostrils.
"Female doll, why do you want to do so much? Surrender can be exchanged for peace, how can it be said to be humiliation?
Our Great Wei forces are strong, you can see it. If you want me to say, it is King Gaochang who is smart. ”
It is about interests between countries, and there is no shame in surrendering.
And when the Wei soldiers withdrew, Gaochang was still the overlord of the Western Regions, who would dare to laugh at it?
Yuan Wanshan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Gao Changguo has surrendered, and if the Great Wei continues to march, it will be tantamount to malicious oppression.
But this time, in addition to helping Loulan Ping's troubles, there is also another purpose.
Now if you say surrender, you will surrender, and it is not good to go west...
"Why don't you divide the soldiers into two ways?" The adjutant general suggested softly.
Yuan Wanshan's face was embarrassed, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I originally planned to act. ”
The Holy Maiden of Loulan was surprised, "General Yuan, what did the original plan mean?" ”
The secretary of the military department was also very confused, as the head of the march, how could he not know what the original plan was?
Yuan Wanshan was silent, waved his big hand, and ordered in a deep voice, "Continue to move west." ”
The Loulan Holy Maiden secretly said that it was not good, what was the other party's original plan?
When advancing to a barren area, Yuan Wanshan quickly divided the army of 50,000 into two waves, and the deputy general led half of the army and left by another road.
The Holy Maiden of Loulan couldn't help but continue to ask, "What does General Yuan mean?" Where did the other team go? ”
Yuan Wanshan smiled, "Holy Maiden, half of the army is enough to calm your civil strife in Loulan." ”
The thirty-six countries of the Western Regions are vast and sparsely populated, and among the countries, few can squeeze out twenty or thirty thousand troops, except for the particularly powerful Gaochang, who can barely gather 100,000 troops, other countries are as big as a county in Great Wei...
This time, Dawei is here to help Loulan get justice, and those small countries dare not break ground on Dawei, so you can rest assured.
It doesn't matter if Gao Changguo wants to be a demon from it, but there is more reason to target Gao Changguo.
However, this time, the original purpose was to destroy Gaochangguo, but unfortunately he surrendered halfway and could not fight, so he could only use the backup plan.
The Holy Maiden of Loulan nodded, "I see." But where did the other army go? ”
She is still very unsteady in her heart, and she always feels that Li Xingchen's purpose is not simple.
"Let's go back to the border city of Gaochang first, this is not Great Wei, let's go to Loulan, in case of conspiracy and trickery by the Gaochang envoys, we will be surrounded by the front and back.
Therefore, it is necessary to leave an army at the border in case of emergency, so that Gaochang will not mess around. Yuan Wanshan thought for a moment and explained.
When the Loulan Holy Maiden heard this, she felt that something was wrong, but there was nothing wrong with thinking about it again.
"But General Yuan, the border city is the territory of Gaochang State, since they have surrendered, and the Great Wei still sent troops to occupy it, isn't it equivalent to continuing to invade Gaochang?
It is likely that they will use this incident, along with other countries, to target that half of the army.
If Great Wei is excessive, it is not that Gao Changguo will continue to contact the Thirty-six Kingdoms and attack together..."
Yuan Wanshan waved his hand, "What are you afraid of, we are still in the Western Regions, for safety, of course we need to have a reliable place to stay."
Great Wei has already accepted the surrender of Gaochang, so there will be no war!
Besides, going deep into the Western Regions is to solve the internal affairs of Loulan, even if Gao Changguo is unhappy and wants to unite the countries of the Western Regions, we also have a reason, Loulan's internal strife has not been resolved, isn't it? ”
They can't do anything if they want to!
Of course, when solving internal affairs, we need to make some moths out so that the plan can be carried out.
