Na Long saw the king of Qiuzi Bochun walking in, just glanced at him, and said, "Why, was moved by the envoy from the Wei State?" ”

Bo Chun said with a painful face: "Na Long, the strength of the Wei army is really not something we can resist!" As powerful as the Liang Kingdom, they have all fallen under the iron hooves of the Wei army. The Wei army has hundreds of thousands of armor, and now it is stationed in Liangdi, and it can move westward at any time. ”

"How can such a cowardly person be as cowardly as a mouse, looking ahead and looking backwards, to achieve great things?" Na Long sneered.

Bo Chun said angrily: "You forced me!" ”

"Humph! Well said. If you don't do it, who will persecute you? It's not that I said you, Bo Chun, I heard that this Emperor of Wei can't tolerate sand in his eyes! Once he knows that you have increased the taxes of the merchants who passed through Qiuzi, and even robbed the goods of the merchants on the Silk Road, do you think he will spare you? ”

Hearing this, Bao Chun's face suddenly turned gray again.

Bo Chun really regretted it in his heart, he shouldn't have been so greedy in the first place!

At that time, Bao Chun relied on Qiuci to be the most powerful country in the Western Regions, extorted merchants who came and went, and increased business taxes, causing a large number of merchants to no longer pass through Qiuci, but went on a long road, but Bao Chun still did not let them go, and often instructed the army of Qiuci to dress up as horse thieves, rob merchants from other countries, loot their goods, and even kill people and goods.

Originally, there was a Liang country, and there was also a Shazhou Thorn Shi management, but the Liang country continued to lose its vitality in the Hu rebellion, and it was no longer able to act.

Well, now, once the envoys of the nations denounce his crimes to the Great Wei Emperor, the destruction of the Qiuci Kingdom is imminent!

"It's a big deal, I confess to the Emperor of Wei!" Bo Chun gritted his teeth and said, "I believe he is a person who understands righteousness. ”

"Hehe, you're really dizzy when you say this kind of thing!" Na Long scratched his hair and said, "Do you know what kind of person Ran Min is? Dare to jump to conclusions. As far as I know, Wei is now constantly increasing its troops in the direction of Yumen Pass and Yangguan, and wants to point its sword at the Western Regions. He is now a no-name teacher, he wants to stand up, but he lacks an excuse, can you listen to your confession? ”

"This ......"

Bo Chun said bitterly: "Then what else can I do?" Resisting the Wei army? Don't be stupid, don't say it's my Qiuzi family, even if the entire Western Regions countries unite, and even add your beard, I'm afraid it won't be enough for the Wei army to eat. ”

"Haha, Bo Chun, it's really wrong for you to think so." Na Long smiled and said, "What is the place in the Western Regions?" The environment is complex, and the desert is thousands of miles, and this terrain is conducive to the natives of the Western Regions, but it may not be beneficial to the Wei army. Even with this kind of terrain and this kind of expedition, the logistics supply of the Wei army can't keep up at all, so the army they can send will definitely not exceed 100,000 people. ”

"Even if there are only 100,000 Wei troops, I'm afraid they can't be easily defeated." Bo Chun sighed faintly and said, "Although I am in the Western Regions, I have heard a little about the reputation of the Wei army. It has swept away the four kingdoms of Qin, Yong, Qiuchi and Liang in the Central Plains, and successively defeated the three kingdoms of Jin, Yan and Dai, and the limelight has been unrivaled for a while. What's even more terrifying is that they often win more with less! ”

"Humph! That's because they didn't run into us Huhus! Na Long said disdainfully: "We Huhu people are the pride of the grassland, and we are invincible!" Bo Chun, we Huhu people now hope to get your help. ”

"What do you mean?"

"I believe you have this ambition. Bo Chun, when I came, the king had already explained to me, as long as you can help Bao Hu attract the Wei army to the Western Regions, and defeat it in a battle, when the time comes, take the Western Regions, Hu Hu and Qiuci will each get half, if I can take the opportunity to take Xiliang, or even give up the entire Western Regions to Qiuci, it will be no problem! ”

"Really?" Bo Chun is really ready to move.

"It's nature."

Seeing that the fool Bo Chun had already taken the bait, Na Long couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, quite proud.

When Bo Chun sent Na Long out, he returned to the secret room, and from the door of the secret room, a slender orchid walked in.

"Yun'er, you're here." Seeing that it was his daughter Bo Yun, Bo Chun sighed.

"Father, have you already promised Nalong to resist the Wei army?" Bo Yun bit her pink lip and walked to Bo Chun's side and sat down.

Bo Chun shook his head and said, "Yun'er, my father has no choice. Between the Wei State and the Hu people, we can only choose one. ”

"Then why not the Wei State?"

"The state of Wei is certainly much stronger than Hu, and there is not even a comparison. But Wei is too far away from the Western Regions, thousands of miles, and the so-called far water can't quench the thirst of the near. Moreover, the Wei State is different from the Hu Dynasty, the Wei State wants to establish the Western Regions Protectorate in the Western Regions, and once this Metropolitan Protectorate is established, the Qiuzi Kingdom will never have a chance to rise. ”

"Rise rise, you think about rise all day." Boyun raised his eyebrows and said: "Father, my Qiuzi Kingdom is too weak, and I still have a place in the Western Regions, but it is very unwise to oppose the Wei Kingdom!" Even the incomparably powerful Liang State that once ruled our Western Regions and set the Western Regions as Shazhou has fallen under the iron hooves of the Wei army, can only one turtle and Hu be able to resist the attack of the Wei army? ”

"......" Bo Chun was silent.

This is a world of great contention, where there is flesh, there must be contention!

It's a pity that Bo Chun underestimated the strength of Wei Jun and Ran Min's determination, and overestimated the strength of Qiuzi and Hu.

In the next few days, Dawan, Kangju, Khotan, Shule and other countries in the Western Regions successively sent tribute, and the king of Shanshan, Xiu Mi, and the former king of Cheshi, Mi Ming, even went to Guzang to see Ran Min in person.

For ordinary envoys, Ran Min only appointed Qin Mu and Xun Ji to meet with him, and for Shanshan King Xiu Mi and the former Cheshi Wang Miqing, Ran Min personally received them.

The people of the Western Regions paid tribute to Ran Min with rare items such as sweat and blood horses, fire cloth, elephants, and peacocks.

The attitude of the countries of the Western Regions is quite respectful, and they also agree with Ran Min's decision to set up the Western Regions Protectorate, but the envoy of the Qiuzi Kingdom is not disrespectful.

Ran Min also heard that the country of Qiuzi had increased the taxes of passing merchants, and often sent troops to rob merchants traveling on the Silk Road pretending to be horse thieves, killing people and stealing goods.

Ran Min was furious about this!

Finally found an excuse to enter the Western Regions!

Ran Min immediately decided to drive the expedition in person, leading 80,000 foot cavalry, including the left and right Yulinwei, Shenji Battalion, Po Military Camp, and the 30,000 cavalry of the Xilianghu Warrior Army that had just been formed to attack the Western Regions.

It's almost 40,000 infantry, 40,000 cavalry, this kind of scale is not small, and there are a lot of cavalry!

At the end of December of the third year of the emperor's reign, Ran Min led the army from Guzang, out of Yumen (now northwest of Dunhuang, Gansu), more than 300 miles of quicksand, Yanqi and other countries all surrendered, but Qiuzi Wang Bochun closed the city (now Xinjiang Shayabei Yangdakeqin Waste City) to hold on.

Ran Min led his troops to advance, set up a battalion every five miles in the south of the city, deep ditches and high bases, and set up suspicious soldiers. Bao Chun drove the people outside the city into the city, and the vassal princes also fortified the city.

But Ran Min was not afraid of the Qiuzi army at all to hold on to the city!

"Fire!"

"Boom! ......" Countless cannonballs hit the city wall of Qiuci one by one, and several large holes with potholes exploded in an instant, but this Qiuci City is worthy of being a famous city for hundreds of years, and it has been built like an iron bucket, and it really can't be defeated by relying on red-coated cannons for a while.

There was no way, before the expedition, the Wei army carried a lot of red-coated cannons and shells, but many of them were used up in the battle of Gushui, so with a cup of tea, all the shells of the Wei army were exhausted.

And Ran Min didn't want to increase casualties, so he had to stop the attack and continue to besiege the city.
