Dawan Palace.

Luo Shi looked at Princess Dawan kneeling in front of the horse, the women of the Western Regions are very famous in the Han Dynasty, and the dignitaries and nobles like to be concubines or dance girls.

Looking at the past from the perspective of Luo Shi riding on a horse, Princess Dawan's figure is quite explosive, typical of good birth, and her clothes are bold, her face is like a peach blossom, she is gorgeous, and her eyes are quite seductive.

Luo Shi is used to seeing the beautiful Luo girl, and he doesn't feel anything, but the others are a little unable to restrain themselves, the Temple Army is a ruthless killing machine on the battlefield, but there are flesh and blood people on the battlefield, and the fiery gaze of the Dao Dao is projected on the body of Princess Dawan.

Luo Shi's first reaction was to dedicate this woman to the emperor, following his father's move of dedicating Princess Loulan to Liu Che, if he gave birth to a son, he could take back to the Western Regions as the king, just like splitting the Wusun Kingdom, splitting the Dawan Kingdom, and reducing the military pressure on the Western Regions Protectorate.

Luo Shi knew very well that the victory in this battle was only temporary, and if he could not stabilize the results with appropriate political means, with the distance of the Great Wan Kingdom, he would betray the Han again in two or three years.

In order to establish a stable rule, it is not enough to win a military victory, but to rule by force is bound to fail.

"Beautiful princess, I will dedicate you to the supreme of the Han Empire, the most noble person under the emperor Su, the great Son of Heaven."

"I'll kill King Dawan! Spread his head among the countries of the Western Regions, and then return to Chang'an of the Han Dynasty and dedicate it to the Son of Heaven! ”

"I will kill those nobles who bewitch the King of Dawan to betray the Han Dynasty, hang their heads outside Dawan City, and warn everyone who enters Dawan City."

"I will kill those soldiers who are willing to fight for King Dawan, report each other, as long as the report is true, you can avoid the death penalty."

"I want Dawan to submit to the Great Han, and send princes and princesses and sons of great nobles to Chang'an to study the classics of my Zhuxia sages."

"Princess, do you accept these conditions?"

Luo Shi's voice reached the ears of Princess Dawan and the nobles of Dawan word by word, and Princess Huo De raised her head and said sadly: "General of the Han people, are you humiliating Dawan?" ”

Killing King Dawan is nothing, this is something that can be thought of when he surrenders, but the latter conditions are a little unacceptable.

Prince Dawan, who had been captured by Luo Shi earlier, also said loudly: "Honorable general, such an insult to Dawan is unacceptable.

Dawan's resistance will not stop, just relying on the general's army, it can't conquer the powerful Dawan! ”

This is true, conquering a country and defeating a country are completely different.

But Luo Shi was not false at all, but he said in a firm tone and with blazing eyes: "Then wait for Ben Hou to defeat your Dawan's army again."

I'll talk to you about it then, but at that time, the conditions will be more than that! ”

As soon as Luo Shi's words came out, the Han army immediately roared loudly, especially the temple army, and pulled out a sharp blade that was still dripping with blood, and the murderous aura overflowed.

The nobles of Dawan immediately changed color, and the reason why they surrendered in Kaicheng was because the army of the nobles of Dawan was defeated, and no one could come to relieve the siege of Dawan, and they surrendered when there was no hope of survival.

But even if they surrender, the Dawan nobles still have confidence in their hearts, the Han army cannot stay here all the time, although the Han army is superior now, but the durability of local battles and away battles is completely different.

But Luo Shi actually wanted to fight with them without giving in, just to see who died first, which made the Dawan nobles a little panicked, and Princess Dawan, who had been glaring at Luo Shi angrily, weakened her gaze.

……

The conquest of Dawan was won, and the messenger rushed to Chang'an with the battle report first, reporting to Emperor Liu Dan, while Luo Shi led the officials of the Western Regions Protectorate and the kings of the Western Regions to slowly move towards Chang'an.

In the Changle Palace, the close ministers reported to Liu Dan about Luo Shi's achievements.

"Your Majesty, after receiving your will, Dadu Hu set out from the Wushuang Kingdom, led a total of 20,000 troops and tens of thousands of troops from the Western Regions, crossed the Tianshan Mountains, crossed the desert Gobi, marched all the way for more than 4,000 miles, and arrived at the city of Dawan, the capital of Dawan.

Break through the defenders of Dawan Wangcheng first, behead 13,500, capture 12,000 people, and kill and capture 13 nobles below the prince of Dawan.

Besieged Dawan City for a month, and broke the coalition of Dawan nobles, beheaded 8,700 people, captured 7,500 people, and killed and captured 24 Dawan nobles.

Besieged Dawan City for two months, Dawan nobles opened the city and surrendered, Dawan King has been beheaded, Dawan King will be the head of the Western Regions, Zhenmy Han Shenwei, the countries are terrified, have sent princes and others to my Han Dynasty to congratulate, expressing their willingness to bow down and be a minister. ”

Liu Dan, who listened to this battle report, shook his heart and laughed loudly: "The Wushuang Marquis is really brave and unparalleled, quite like his father Zhaogong!"

I want to reward him heavily, I remember that the Wushuang Marquis is the second son of Zhao Gong, the second son is good, the Wushuang Marquis has not married a wife yet, right? ”

"Your Majesty, I haven't heard of it!"

Liu Dan clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Grind for me, I want to write a letter to Zhaogong!" ”

Liu Dan's mood is quite happy, since the good news from the northwest has come, then the good news from the southeast must be about the same.

……

After two months of trekking, this is still the premise of increasing the speed, the army naturally stayed in the Western Regions Protectorate, and Luo Shi only brought the dare warriors and the envoys of the Western Regions countries.

The Temple Army also remained in the Western Regions, guarding King Su's temple.

This was the first time Luo Shi had seen this Son of Heaven, he was appointed by Emperor Xiaoding as the protector of the Western Regions, but it was this emperor who finally allowed him to establish this work.

"See Your Majesty!"

Liu Dan returned the salute, and then laughed loudly: "My great hero is back, how many people have come to congratulate the countries of the Western Regions this time?" ”

Luo Shi stated: "Your Majesty, the countries of the Western Regions have come to congratulate, and there are thirty-seven countries! ”

Liu Dan said with a smile: "Such a scene of the countries coming to congratulate, looking forward, I am afraid that only the Son of Heaven of Bang Zhou in the past had it."

Today, I have been enjoyed because of the Qing, and I should be rewarded heavily. ”

The first emperor of the Han dynasty to enjoy the congratulations of the countries was Emperor Xiaowu, but Luo Wujian had just pacified the Western Regions at that time, but he was only twelve or thirteen of the kingdoms at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains.

Luo Wujian mainly created the political structure of the Western Regions Protectorate, as well as the way the Western Regions Protectorate got along with various countries, and the number of countries that he subdued was naturally far from being compared with Luo Shi since he served as the Metropolitan Protector.

Luo Shi said with a smile: "Without the full support of His Majesty, it would be impossible for the minister to make such a feat. ”

This is not just a compliment, the army is fighting for money and food, without Liu Dan's spare support, Luo Shi can only go out with 10,000 elites.

That's definitely not going to beat Dawan.

Liu Dan knew this very well, so he directly accepted all the compliments, and said quite proudly: "I have Sangqing, the military expenses are safe, most of the protectors are only in charge of the war, and the military supplies will not be less." ”

When Luo Shi heard Sang Qing, he knew that he should be the most favored minister in the past two years, Dasi Nong Sang Hongyang.

Although he is only a big farmer now, but Sang Hongyang's status is about to be compared to the prime minister, as the emperor's money bag, Chang'an City is rumored that the emperor will soon let Sang Hongyang serve as the imperial doctor, and concurrently serve as the big Si Nong, the big businessman, become the deputy prime minister, and hand over the entire Han Dynasty's finances to him to be in charge.

Luo's internal recognition of Sang Hongyang's financial ability is recognized, but Legalist students have always been capable, and no one doubts them in this regard.

The key is that Sang Hongyang has the common problem of Legalism, which can be less strict, but it has to go to the extreme, which makes people puzzled.

For example, during the Warring States Period, the content of the changes in the Wei State and the changes in the Qi State were actually very good, but the monarch was mediocre and did not stick to it, but the Qin Legalists had to come up with the ultimate cultivation and warfare system, which was very outrageous.

Sang Hongyang is like this now, obviously with Luo Xin, the financial steward Zhuyu in front, he can not only restore production and enrich the treasury, but also not hurt the people, but Sang Hongyang just wants to engage in those tricks of collecting money and fishing.

He knew everything, and it was clear what the consequences of these policies would be, but in the end he still had to do it, and he existed solely to maintain the emperor's rule, and there was no common people in his eyes.

Luo Shi's eyes rolled, and he said with a smile: "Then I want Your Majesty to introduce Dasi Nong to the ministers." ”

……

Liu Dan in the temple of the Han Dynasty, the pickled head of the King of Dawan was sacrificed, after Luo Shi defeated Dawan, he began to order people to render the strength of Dawan, in the hearts of the Han people, Dawan is a large country with a population of one million and 100,000 soldiers, rather than a small country in the Western Regions with an ordinary population of tens of thousands and thousands of troops.

It must be known that the Xiongnu in the past were only two million people, which made Liu Dan feel very face-saving, defeating such a big country can show the strength of the Han Dynasty and the prosperity of the Han Dynasty.

"All the ancestors and ancestors, the head of King Dawan is just the beginning, Dan will lead the iron cavalry of my Han Dynasty and lay down a big world, but all the directions in the eye will be the land of the Great Han, and all the thief chieftains will surrender to the feet of the emperor."

Liu Dan's heart was full of heroic words, and the continuous victories of the Han army gave him infinite confidence.

Time is like flowing water, and in Liu Dan's words, years have passed.

————

After quelling the Dawan rebellion, the Han Dynasty's sphere of influence completely enveloped the Western Regions, the Western Regions Protectorate officially became the highest administrative body in the entire Western Regions, the Western Regions Metropolitan Protector is the highest administrative and military chief in the Western Regions, in order to deter the Dawan region that has just been pacified, as well as the more distant Kangju, Daxia and other countries, the political center of the Western Regions Protectorate is completely set in the Yishui River Valley, the Wushuang Marquis - Dunhuang County, which is the two core areas of the Han Dynasty's stable rule over the Western Regions, whoever controls here, who controls the Western Regions. ——"The History of the Rise and Fall of the Han Dynasty"
