Luo Qing, who came to Chang'an, didn't expect it to be so smooth, Emperor Liu Xun was different from what many people imagined, he seemed to be waiting for the arrival of this war.

The entire Han Dynasty and even Zhuxia were shaken upside down by this edict of Emperor Liu Xun.

One after another, orders followed the messenger's journey and rushed to the county.

Liu Xun's attitude was unprecedentedly tough, and it was indeed beyond the expectations of many people, and the soldiers of Hao Hao Tang Tang were recruited from various counties.

"Since Emperor Xiaowu defeated the Xiongnu in the decisive battle of Mobei, the soldiers of the Central Plains have never been as strong as they are now."

"Isn't that a reckless assault?"

"How can there be a corrupt Confucianism like you among the Confucians, Emperor Liu Dan does not take into account the displacement of the people in the world and the tough taxation, that is called reckless force.

The Han Dynasty under His Majesty's rule is thriving, and the treasury is far more prosperous than before, even if it is a large-scale use of troops, it is impossible to cause the displacement of people all over the land, this is called doing what you can! ”

All kinds of voices sounded everywhere, and finally converged into one voice, that is, the emperor's edict, "Defeat the Xiongnu, make the border of the Han Dynasty quiet again, and make the Han have another fifty years of stability!" ”

Luo Shi received the emperor's order, "Qing is the son of the late Wushuang Marquis, in the past, the Wushuang Marquis was to lead the armies of the Western Regions and Hexi, enter Mobei, and annihilate the Huns, and now I will hand over this task to Qing, don't let the ancestors be ashamed." ”

Luo Shi put away his will, looked at the magnificent scenery of the Western Regions with white clouds, turned around and said loudly to the adjutant of the Metropolitan Protectorate: "Pass on the order of the Marquis, recruit the army of Zhuyi, recruit the army of the subject countries, requisition grain and grass, and go on the expedition!" ”

The armies of the Western Regions and Hexi are relatively high in combat effectiveness in the sequence of the Han army, and because of the relationship between the battle-hardened formations, they are not inferior to the armies formed by those good families.

The main problem in the Western Regions is the small number of Han Chinese, and Luo Shi is reluctant to send a large number of Han people to the battlefield every time he fights, because he is afraid that a large number of Han men will die in battle, and then change the already fragile proportion of the population.

After the continuous exile and immigration of four generations of emperors, as well as the military deterrence of the Dadu Protectorate, the ancient Wusun Kingdom of the former Western Regions has lost most of its territory, and the royal family continues to migrate westward, with nearly 300,000 Han people living on this land.

This is the basic plate of the Dadu Protectorate in the Western Regions, and Luo Shi is very cautious in protecting it, even if he attacks the Xiongnu, he is not willing to recruit people from here on a large scale.

Because fighting the Huns may not be able to win, and the long-distance attack of thousands of miles is a kind of loss in itself, and I don't know how many people will die on the road.

The Western Regions Metropolitan Protector has jurisdiction over all the countries in the Western Regions, and all of them received a rather severe letter from the Metropolitan Protectorate, and it turned out to be the comeback of the Xiongnu and wanted to compete with the Han people again for the position of the overlord of the world.

The war between the Han court and the Xiongnu may have been too long, and the kings of these small Western Regions countries have forgotten how the Han Dynasty defeated the Xiongnu in the first place.

Now I think that the Huns can compete with the Han, Luo Shi's evaluation is a daydream, the Huns without the Western Regions are tigers without wings, it's okay to run, and it's a dream to want to fly.

Although they had countless different thoughts in their hearts, the bodies of the countries of the Western Regions were very honest, and they requisitioned their countrymen and grain and grass one after another, and followed Luo Shi to send troops to attack the Xiongnu.

The Huns are too far away, Luo Shi is too close, in vain!

……

Wushuang Hou's Mansion.

The emperor's will came down, and after preparations, it was time to go to war.

Luo Shi was dressed in the general's clothes, and his wife arranged the collar of his robe for him, "Beloved, when will you come back?" ”

Luo Shi was silent for a moment and said: "Grain and grass are enough to eat for a year at most, and if you can't eat the enemy, it will be a year." ”

"Okay, one year, you must come back on time after a year, I will wait for you at home."

Luo Shi nodded silently, the woman in front of him was no longer as beautiful as before, and both of them were a little old.

A princess of the Han family lived with her for decades in the wild land of the Western Regions, supporting each other to go on.

Luo Shi suddenly sighed.

Alas.

When she went to Chang'an to kill Liu Dan, she was hurt after all, although she didn't say it, but she woke up from her dream from time to time, this kind of depression made her suffer all the time, and her body has deteriorated since then.

A well-pampered woman turned out to be even worse than her own battle-hardened general.

Thinking of this, Luo Shi didn't know what to say, he lived really hard in this life.

In the eyes of outsiders, he is the king of the northwest of the Han Dynasty, he is the protector of the Western Regions with great achievements, the first brave general of the Han Dynasty today, and the idol of the world's athletes.

But only he knows the bitterness in it, and only knows how much sourness there is under the iron body, and it is his obedient heart to take away Liu Dan's women and daughters and protect King Dawandong.

"It's sorted out, it's still the heroic man, just like I once saw you."

The woman put away her sorrow and smiled, "Go and see your robes, take them to defeat the Huns, I am the daughter of Emperor Xiaowu, and I am the real princess of the Han family, and I can't see the Huns in the world." ”

Luo Shi nodded, then turned his head and strode forward, but the more he walked, the more he felt an ominous premonition, but in retrospect, he didn't know where this feeling came from, and he could only shake his head and attribute it to worry about the future.

In the Wushuang Marquis's Mansion, the woman looked at her husband and strode away, she couldn't hold back any longer, she coughed heavily, the bright red blood on the white cloth was so dazzling, her face was so pale, and her body was really bad.

There may be a strong side to her character, but after all, she is still a weak woman, she understands but cannot forgive herself for the violent behavior between her husband and brother, eighteen years, her own children and her brother's children are adults, she can no longer hold on.

"Madame!"

The maid exclaimed in surprise beside her, and then said urgently, "Do you want to call the head of the house back?" ”

She waved her hand and said: "Don't make a fuss, the head of the family is going to do big things, let's not make trouble for him, and the major national affairs are not comparable to me as a woman." ”

The maid was anxious when she heard this, but she didn't know what to say.

"I'll have to come back soon, my dear."

……

"Stomp, stomp!"

There was a sound of horses' hooves almost at the same frequency, and the earth rose and fell quite regularly, and even without looking, everyone knew that it must be the temple army coming.

Several times in the Western Regions, only the Temple Army, the strongest army in the Western Regions, can play equestrianism to this extent!

The Great Protectorate of the Western Regions relied on this army of 3,000 people to intimidate the Protectorate of the Western Regions for decades, and those small countries were almost invincible, and the pursuit of the rebel army was even more invincible.

"If the temple army does not arrive, no war shall be started."

When the number of the Han army was insufficient, the combat effectiveness of the servant army was very stretched, so there was this sentence, the temple army has always been responsible for the most difficult tasks.

Luo Shi raised his eyes and looked at the place, only to see a group of knights dressed in temple army decorations could easily control the horses at high speed, and then lightly control the slowdown, watching these people ride horses, even felt a kind of enjoyment.

"The supreme Su King, the descendant of the Emperor of Heaven, the great high priest, offer you the most sincere reverence!"

These knights of the temple army from the countries of the Western Regions dismounted and went directly to Luo Shi to perform the greatest courtesy, he once thought about correcting the title, but in the end he failed, so he gave up.

The soldiers of the Temple Army are not puppets, but they are blessed with a lot of buff auras under the effect of the artifact, and they will lose these after losing the blessing of the artifact.

With the arrival of the Temple Army, the rest of the ranks of soldiers have gathered, and the Western Regions may lack anything, but the only thing that has more is horses.

In the Western Regions, even if it is a foot soldier, it is a foot soldier on horseback.

But in fact, there is no one who can't ride a horse, even if it is a Han from the Central Plains, as long as the generation lives here, they are also athletes who grew up immediately.

The Han Chinese are not only farming here, but also herding.

The oldest tribes were a combination of farming and grazing, but later they gave up grazing when they were too full of farming and eating.

Now that the Han people in the Western Regions have re-embarked on this road, there is a powerful Central Plains behind them and they are still in a key position on the trade route, so that the Han people in the Western Regions do not need to rely entirely on agriculture to survive, and grazing to ensure combat effectiveness naturally cannot be abandoned.

More and more soldiers gathered, swords and guns were lined up, the roars of countless war horses resounded through the clouds, and the drums of war were beating.

The temple army embraced Luo Shi and walked up to the high platform.

"His Majesty the Emperor of Chang'an sent a holy decree to the Western Regions, recruiting warriors from the Western Regions to fight against the Xiongnu.

The Xiongnu's troops stretched out to the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, and the hooves of the Xiongnu once again broke through the stability of the Western Regions.

The Han Dynasty ruled the Western Regions for decades, and it must have been more prosperous than when the Huns came here.

The glory of the Emperor Suwang is spread here, which can only be brought by Zhuxia, wielding weapons and raising horses' hooves to defend the glory of Suwang. ”

As soon as Luo Shi's voice fell, the sound of horses' hooves fell in unison, and all the soldiers of the Temple Army roared, and their swords struck each other in pairs.

There was an air of slaughter in the field, in this land, the concept of royal power has never been supreme, just relying on imperial power to rule, it is unstable, or relying on the appeal of King Su.

"Let's go!"

————

The decree was issued, and the five thousand Han cavalry of the Wusun and Dawan Eastern Kingdoms, and the 30,000 soldiers of the twelve countries, including the chariot division and the Mi, were all knights.

A lieutenant said: "The countries of the Western Regions are disorderly, please send 10,000 Han knights to fight to the death." ”

The world said: "The temple army is brave, and the town army led by me will overcome difficulties, and there is no one to do, so don't worry about the army." - "Hanshu Wushuang Hou Family"
