After Da Kunmi got Zhang Fei's reply, he was very happy.

He immediately replied to Zhang Fei, saying that he was a loyal minister of the Great Han Dynasty, and that the forces of Da Kunmi would definitely help the Han army deal with Xiao Kunmi and Kang Juguo, and that if the Han army decided to fight, Da Kunmi would definitely lead troops to support the Han army.

Zhang Fei then set a complete battle plan.

And Dong Zhuo also has his own diplomatic tasks here, after Da Kunmi got it, Dong Zhuo strongly demanded that Xiao Kunmi and Kang Juguo return to the Han Empire together, become a vassal state of the Han Empire, and accept the decree of the Son of Han Heaven, otherwise, they will inevitably be attacked by the Han army.

After Xiao Kunmi and Kang Juguo received the news, their attitude towards this request of the Han army was very unfriendly, and they almost expelled the Han envoy and left, saying that if they wanted to surrender, they could, and they would see the truth on the battlefield, otherwise they would not go to them and talk big.

Zhang Fei was furious when he heard this, so he ordered a war against Xiao Kunmi and Kang Juguo.

At that time, it was March of the fourth year of Zhenguan, Zhang Fei mobilized the whole army of the Tiger Cavalry Army to the territory of Shule State, and ordered the four countries of Weitou, Wensu, Gumo, and Qiuci to provide grain and straw to the Han army, and respectively sent troops to fight with the Han army, and obtained a coalition of 5,000 countries.

Subsequently, 15,000 troops entered the territory of Wusun State, with the support of more than 20,000 troops of the Great Kunmi Department and the support of grain, Zhang Fei launched an attack on the combined forces of Xiao Kunmi and Kangju as the commander of the whole army.

Xiao Kunmi and Kangju's alliance actually had a negative attitude towards the attack of the Han alliance at the beginning, and they had a relatively large anti-war force within them at that time.

These people thought that the Han Empire was strong, the Han army was strong, and the Western Regions powers Yanqi and Shule were destroyed in a snap of their fingers, and the name of the Han Emperor was enough to scare away the Xianbei people who could fight well, which was enough to prove that the Han army was difficult to defeat, and in this case, they should not be enemies of the Han army.

It must be known that Da Kunmi has defected to the Han army, if the Han army is victorious, Da Kunmi will inevitably take advantage of the situation to annex the territory of Xiao Kunmi, and then Da Kunmi will definitely start a liquidation of them, and the end of defeat is so terrifying.

Do you want to keep fighting?

Little Kunmi himself was very shaken at that time.

However, the commander of the Kangju army, Nalido, lobbied Xiao Kunmi, believing that Xiao Kunmi should resolutely resist and not make peace with the Han Empire, otherwise he would be dominated and even enslaved by the Han Empire.

And Da Kunmi took the lead in taking refuge, and he already had the first-mover advantage, and when the time came, all kinds of small shoes for Xiao Kunmi to wear, and in the end, it was still necessary to rebel or war.

Instead of going to war then, it is better to go to war now, and now with the help of Kangju reinforcements, it will definitely be better than single-handedly dealing with the huge forces of the Han Empire at that time, right?

Xiao Kunmi thought about it and felt that it made sense, and felt that instead of being angry by the Han Empire and Da Kunmi, it would be better to do it vigorously, and the Han army was far away from the homeland, so it was not necessary to have some combat effectiveness to preserve, and his own side would definitely have an advantage with Kangju on his back.

Who wins and who loses is unknown!

So Xiao Kunmi suppressed the forces of the main peace faction and decided to start a strategic showdown with the Han army.

Kangju's behavior is actually for themselves.

Kangju knew very well that the speed of the Han Empire's expansion of power in the Western Regions was too fast and too fierce, and it had already arrived in the area of Shule State, so that once Wusun was co-opted by the Han Empire's sphere of influence, it would directly touch Kangju State.

In a sense, if the Han Empire and the Wusun Kingdom reached an alliance, Kangju's hometown would be directly threatened, which would be equivalent to directly bordering the behemoth of the Han Empire, which would be a very dangerous situation.

Therefore, in any case, Kangju State must keep Wusun from falling directly to the Han Empire and retain this important strategic buffer land.

Not only Wusun, but even the Dawan Kingdom must be protected, relying on Wusun and Dawan to establish a strategic buffer with the Han Empire, so that Wusun and Dawan directly face the forces of the Han Empire, and Kangju is behind, so that a certain strategic security can be guaranteed.

For the Kangju State, it was once a powerful country and is now facing multiple threats, not only the internal situation is unstable, but also the strategic pressure on it from the outside is still relatively obvious from the Kushan Empire and the Parthian Empire.

If the Han Empire squeezes its power again at this moment, the Kangju Kingdom will directly face the triple squeeze of the Han Empire, the Kushan Empire and the Parthian Empire.

The three great powers take turns to serve him, where does the blessing come from?

Men and men are not so many.

It no longer has the strength to deal with the massive threat of the Han Empire.

Fortunately, Xiao Kunmi's brain is not very good, and Xiao Kunmi's strength will not be very weak, Kangju feels that relying on Xiao Kunmi and their coalition army, he should be able to confront the Han and Da Kunmi coalition forces, stabilize the battle line, and enter a long-term confrontation mode.

On this basis, the Kangju Congress further united with the Dawan Kingdom, so that the Dawan Kingdom would also become their barrier, isolating the threat of the Han Empire, and at the same time, it could also provide some assistance to resist the northward strategy of the Kushan Empire.

Kangju thinks it is very beautiful, but the problem is that Zhang Fei thinks more beautifully.

The first stage of the Western Regions strategy is to go hand in hand with the north and south, and finally in the Dawan Congress, all the countries in the Western Regions east of the Dawan Kingdom will be included in the scope of rule, and those who promise to be accepted as vassal states, and those who do not agree will be directly destroyed, and set up as counties under the jurisdiction of the Western Regions Protectorate, and directly accept the rule of the Han Empire.

Liu Bei wants to engage in an alternative [parallel system of counties and states] in the Western Regions.

Therefore, at this level, Kangju and the Han Empire had irreconcilable interest disputes, and the ripples caused by geopolitical collisions doomed a major war between the two.

Although the Han army has shown strong combat effectiveness in the Shule country, ending the resistance of the Shule army within a few days, and quickly destroying the country, this strong combat ability makes Kang Juguo vigilant, but the so-called heart does not die until the Yellow River, and does not cry when you don't see the coffin, human beings have always been a little "cheap".

Nalido and Xiao Kunmi mobilized and mobilized more than 35,000 coalition troops, which was about the same as the number of the multinational coalition led by the Han army, and the two sides were evenly matched in terms of numbers, but at the specific combat level, Zhang Fei did not take the coalition forces of Kang Juguo and Xiao Kunmi into account.

According to Da Kunmi's description of the military capabilities of Kang Juguo and Xiao Kunmi, Zhang Fei basically concluded that these were two mediocre enemies, and their combat capabilities would not be much stronger than that of Shule State, but they had more advantages in cavalry.

Despite this, they had no advantage in the face of the strong Han cavalry, which was equipped with Takahashi saddles and horseshoes.

Because both sides have a certain degree of self-confidence in themselves, this decisive battle in the strategic sense is actually carried out in the form of an encounter.

On March 19, the fourth year of Zhenguan, the two armies fought a big battle on the grassland in the central part of Wusun Kingdom, and after a fierce battle, the multinational coalition led by the Han army won a complete victory, and the Kangju and Xiaokunmi coalition forces were defeated.

In fact, if the Han army shot directly, this battle could have ended a little faster, but whether it was the Great Kunmi, the Qiuzi State, or those small countries, in order to prove their loyalty and yearning, they seemed to want to show their hands in front of Zhang Fei, so they offered to [drive for the king] and fight for the Han Dynasty.

Zhang Fei didn't want to agree at first, but after thinking about it, he was also hearsay about the combat capabilities of Kangju and Xiao Kunmi's subordinates, and he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, so if he could see it with his own eyes, it should also be beneficial.

So Zhang Fei nodded and agreed, and handed over the command of the front line to Da Kunmi, and let Da Kunmi command the battle between the multinational coalition forces and the Kangju and Xiao Kunmi coalition forces.

But in Zhang Fei's opinion, it was a bit of a rookie pecking at each other, he thought that the big and small Kunmi had been fighting for many years, and they should have made great achievements in tactics and combat effectiveness, but he didn't expect that the tactical level of both sides was very low.

Kang Juguo didn't say anything, it looked like the dragon was fierce, but in fact, even the organization of the cavalry formation and the infantry formation was very imperfect, Zhang Fei noticed that their forward and backward speed was quite limited, and it was obviously not something that qualified soldiers could do.

In this way, the answer is obvious.

They were by no means opponents of the Han army.

Seeing this battlefield where rookies pecked each other, Zhang Fei couldn't bear it anymore, so he decisively ordered the Han army to enter the battlefield and launch a crushing attack on the Kangju and Xiaokunmi coalition forces.

After the Han army joined the battlefield, the situation on the battlefield changed dramatically, the Han army plundered the flank and rear of the Kangju Xiaokunmi coalition army from the left and right flanks, and the Kangju commander Nalido sent the Kangju cavalry to meet it, hoping to block the Han army's front and win some strategic support for the small Kunmi who was fighting to the death on the front line.

As a result, in the time of a stick of incense, the Kangju cavalry was defeated by the Han cavalry, and the rear of Xiao Kunmi's side was completely exposed to the Han army's iron cavalry, and the Han army's iron cavalry easily tore through the infantry defense line of Xiao Kunmi's department, and began to kill in all directions, galloping vertically and horizontally.

And Zhang Fei directly rushed to the Kangju main formation with another cavalry, and under the fierce impact, the Kangju main formation did not last until the time of two incense sticks, and was crushed by the Han army.

Nalido originally thought that he could resist the Han army, even if he couldn't win, he could buy a little time, and when the time came, seeing that the situation was not right, he took his personal guard cavalry to charge in person, fought to the death with the Han army, and never retreated.

As a result, it was not his turn to take the initiative to charge, so he stayed where he was, and the Han cavalry quickly approached him, surrounded him, and launched a fierce battle, and quickly eliminated all the personal guards around him, and successfully captured him alive.

The Kangju battle flag was cut off by the cavalry of the Han army, and the Kangju army was defeated by Zhang Fei and Da Kunmi's troops on the front line, and soon collapsed, and Xiao Kunmi fought to the last moment with extremely complicated emotions, until all the guards around him died, and he was still fighting to the death.

In the end, the little Kunmi was exhausted, and was killed by the big Kunmi himself, decapitated, and announced their complete victory with a roar.

The cry of victory spread to every corner of the grassland, and in mid-to-late March of the fourth year of Zhenguan, the forces of the Han Empire completely wiped out the resistance of the Wusun Kingdom and won a complete victory.

After the war, Zhang Fei quickly reported the battle to Liu Bei, and led his troops to pursue the remnants of Kangju who participated in the Kangju country, and after strangling and capturing all the remnants, he returned to the territory of Wusun with a swagger.

After this battle, the Han army no longer had any hostile forces in the Northern Western Regions, and the remaining countries, except for the Dawan Kingdom, had all submitted to the forces of the Han Empire, and the heel of the Third Reich was completely established in the Northern Territory.

After that, after Liu Bei learned the news in mid-April, he immediately decided to follow the example of Cheshiguo and give Xiao Kunmi's territory to Da Kunmi as a reward, and all Xiao Kunmi's subjects were relocated to Shule County as sinners, and the Han Empire carried out county-style direct management.

Zhang Fei fought vigorously in the Northern Western Regions and was in full swing.

At the same time, in the southern Western Regions, Dong Zhuo's deputy envoy Wang Chong had to ask for help from his own country because of the non-cooperation of the southern powers, Shache and Khotan, so Zhao Yun, the general of Zhenxi who served as the second person in charge of the Western Regions Military Region, got the news and personally led 5,000 troops to support.

Zhao Yun originally did not go to war, Zhang Fei went to war, he, the general of Zhenxi, should stay behind and rectify the logistics for Zhang Fei, but because of the strength of the Liangzhou Assassin History, Zhao Yun was able to free his hands, and it happened that Wang Chong asked for support from home, so Zhao Yun led the army into the South Road.

At the same time, Zhao Yun also called on Shanshan and Humi, who had already decided to surrender, to jointly send troops and grain to provide some support to the Han army.

Shanshanguo and Humiguo had already learned of the Han army's brilliant achievements in Beidao, and did not dare to disobey Zhao Yun's orders, so they each provided troops and grain, and also took the initiative to build a military camp for the Han army, and worked very hard to curry favor with the Han army.

With their support, Zhao Yun was able to bring more than 20,000 soldiers into Khotan, where he met Wang Chong, who was blocked by the road, and the 1,000 Han cavalry guarding him, reorganized his troops and horses, and launched an ultimatum to Khotan.

Khotanese was not to be embarrassed with the Han Empire at the beginning, at the beginning, Wang Chong and Khotan talked well, and the king of Khotan even decided to send someone to Luoyang to pay tribute, but I don't know what happened, overnight, the attitude of the king of Khotan changed greatly, and asked Wang Chong to leave the country, otherwise he would send troops to attack Wang Chong.

Wang Chong was very angry, and inquired in many ways, and finally learned that it was the Shache Kingdom that sent people to talk to the king of Khotan about something, which made the king of Khotan change his attitude and want to confront the Han Empire.

The specific content seems to be that the Shache State thinks that the Han Empire is not good at coming and wants to enslave all countries, and the Khotan State and the Shache State together can pull out more than 50,000 soldiers and horses, why should they be lackeys for the Han Empire.

Then the Shache state also proposed to let Khotan be the boss of the southern Western Regions, and they were also willing to follow, so they hoped that Khotan would not accept the rule of the Han Empire.

The king of Khotan was moved.

Zhao Yun didn't care so much, since he had made the determination to confront, he had to bear the consequences of the confrontation, after the ultimatum was fruitless, Zhao Yun led the army to attack, and the king of Khotan also led the army of Khotan to fight with the Han army, and the result was naturally self-evident.
