A few years ago, due to the rebellion of the Wusun Kingdom from the Han Dynasty and the fact that the southwest side was not peaceful, several Silk Roads were basically cut off.

The economy of the Han Dynasty also fell into a lot of silence, and the handicraft industry shrank very seriously.

Hearing that His Majesty was going to fight Wusun, the whole court was overjoyed, and their hearts were already alive and began to tell the family to quickly expand the scale of silk manufacturing.

Other families, such as those that made gold and silver ornaments and lacquerware, were not far behind and began to increase their productivity.

The sudden arrival of business opportunities has caused many workshops to be short of manpower, and old craftsmen who have been fired because they have nothing to do have become sought-after.

While there is still time, we have begun to recruit young apprentices, and who can seize the opportunity to get the first batch of orders depends on their own ability.

Liu Zhi himself began to prepare, ordering to increase the scale of production of liquor and cane sugar, and he was very confident that these two emerging industries would definitely emerge in trade.

Not to mention how the whole country is in full swing, at this time, the Yulin Army and the Tiger Ben Army, who are responsible for the Western Expedition, have already left Fufeng County.

All the way to Zhangye, they will meet the mighty general Duan Cheng at Dunhuang, and then divide the army into two routes, all the way to Wusun, all the way down to Dawan.

On this expedition, Liu Zhi not only did not hide it, but made a big fanfare, and even submitted a war letter to the two countries, and also sent a messenger to warn the Northern Xiongnu not to meddle in the internal affairs of the Han Dynasty.

This is the result of consulting with several veteran generals of the Military Aircraft Government, firstly, to show off force, make the other party frightened, and achieve the goal of surrendering the army without a fight.

The second is to see which other countries want to meddle in this matter, and it is best to take this opportunity to solve it once and for all, so as not to have endless troubles in the future.

As for the Northern Huns, after the warning of the sword and gun, it was difficult for him to make a sneak attack. Moreover, he has already sent an army of Huangfu Gui to suppress the border, if he dares to move to Wusun, he will inevitably be attacked on both sides, and it will be difficult to take care of the end.

Wusun has always been the only one who looks at him, and if he ignores it this time, it will inevitably chill the hearts of other small countries.

Now the Northern Xiongnu have fallen into a dilemma, and it will be very difficult to save or not.

Within a few days, the three-way army met at Dunhuang, where they deliberately stopped to rest for a few days, after all, a long journey, too tired is also a taboo for marching and fighting.

Quan Xu, the lieutenant general of the Yulin Army, and Zhao Kai, the lieutenant general of the Tiger Ben Army, all met in the camp tent of the mighty general Duan Cheng at this time.

The three of them had worked together in the battles against Wuhuan and Xianbei, especially Zhao Kai, who had already become close friends with Duan Cheng.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's discuss how to get in."

It is inconvenient to bring a sand table in the army, and the detailed geographical environment of Wusun and Dawan is not so clear, so you can only rely on the map for reference.

After that, he pointed to the map and said: "I think I can divide the troops into three routes, I will lead a road to Gaochang, and then pass through the front of the chariot division, and attack from the Alashan Pass in the east of Wusun." ”

This road is the most difficult, because it has to pass through the great desert, which is extremely risky, and Gaochang has a military captain, but they have to be prepared to guard against the Northern Xiongnu troops.

Neither of them expressed any objections, after all, Duan Cheng's official rank was higher than theirs, and most of their subordinates were from Kyoto, so they had little experience in dealing with a harsh environment like the desert.

And Duan Cheng has lived in Liangzhou for a long time, and his subordinates are all proud generals who have been fighting the border for many years, and the quality of individual soldiers is indeed excellent, even if the two of them are arrogant, they can only admire this.

Zhao Kai glanced at Quan Xu, "I led the tiger ben from Shanshan to Qiuzi, and then attacked Chigu." ”

Chigu is the Kyoto of the Wusun Kingdom, and Duan Cheng would rather gnaw on the eastern front that is difficult to bite and can't get much military merit, and his mind is really admirable.

And Zhao Kai has always admired General Duan a little, so he spoke first, hoping to have another chance to fight with him.

Quan Xu smiled, and didn't care, now there was only one marching route left, break up with Zhao Kai in Shanshan, and then travel a long way to Shule, from where he attacked the Dawan Kingdom.

Among the several routes, this one was the longest, and Duan Cheng pointed to the area around the Green Ridge.

"According to the news sent back by the spies, Dawan has asked the Dayue clan for help, and the other party has clearly agreed so far.

But it cannot be ruled out that they will suddenly attack, so I sent Captain Wei with a thousand people to go with you, and when the time comes, I will specially guard against the Da Yue clan. ”

When Ban Gu went to the Western Regions, the Da Yue clan attacked and almost made him fall short, so he has a criminal record, and his faith is fundamentally zero.

I can only assume that he will take the opportunity to make a profit.

Next, several people discussed the details of the march with each other, and after the meeting, Duan Cheng invited the two to stay and have dinner together.

The Hu people in the Dunhuang area have very distinctive food, mainly barbecue, all kinds of spices are complete, the expedition is imminent, and the three armies should be rewarded as usual.

At this time, Dunhuang was still full of greenery, piles of bonfires were lit, and the rich aroma of meat wafted everywhere.

Quan Xu picked up a bag of spirits and went through the camp to find Wei Ye, both of whom were fierce generals in the army and had outstanding combat power.

Both of them have heard each other's names for a long time, and they cherish each other, but they have never been on each other, and today they finally have the opportunity to cooperate, so they naturally want to contact each other.

Wei Yexiang has a strong negative force value, and it is difficult to have an opponent in the army, since he heard about Quan Xu's performance in the first battle of Liaodong, he is itching, and always wants to compete with him to see who is the first fierce general in Beijing.

In terms of opportunities, Quan Xu was more fortunate than him, just because he saved the emperor by mistake.

obviously debuted later than him, but now he is already a general in Yulin, and he has been fighting on the battlefield for several years, and it is not easy to survive to become a captain.

"Captain Wei, I've heard of the name for a long time, can we discuss the route of the marching army together tomorrow?"

Quan Xu was bold, sat down directly beside him with a big grin, and handed over the wine bag.

Wei Ye took the wine bag, opened it and sniffed it, his eyes lit up, "It's really good wine, this is the drunken hibiscus of Deng's Winery." ”

After that, he raised his head and poured a long mouthful, wiped the corners of his mouth and laughed, "Hahaha, happy!" ”

Without waiting for Quan Xu to speak, he suddenly stood up, "Ye has a wish, I want to see General Quan's exquisite marksmanship, since I am fortunate to meet today, can I appreciate the light and advice?" ”

As he spoke, he lifted a green dragon long knife in his hand, and his eyes burned and stared at him.

Quan Xu smiled slightly, unhurriedly raised his head and took a sip of wine, and then got up and hugged his fists and said:

"I heard that Captain Wei is the first warrior in Beijing, and Quan has admired his name for a long time, and it is really a blessing in his life to be able to learn from you today."

When the surrounding soldiers heard this, they all immediately coaxed, these two people are notoriously powerful, but everyone is very curious, who is the real king.

What's more, it is also common for the army to fight, as long as there are no casualties, they generally don't care.

Everyone immediately made a large open space and moved the bonfire to the side to form a circle of ten zhang square.

"It's better like this, let's stop at the point and help everyone, if anyone is out of this circle, even if they lose, how about it?"

Quan Xu, as a general in the feather forest, has heavier responsibilities, and he was born in a general, unlike Wei Ye, who was born as a ranger, so his personality is more restrained.

Wei Ye naturally knew how powerful it was, and immediately nodded in agreement.

Duan Cheng and the others also got the news at this time, and they all came out to watch the battle.

Judging from his appearance, Wei Ye is bigger and has knotted muscles, and at first glance he is a power-type warrior, but his sword skills are exquisite, although he opens and closes, he is extremely flexible.

The spear in Quan Xu's hand danced like a dragon out of the water, stretching naturally and more ornamental.

The martial arts in the army are unbreakable, and most of the sergeants are optimistic about Wei Ye, after all, the Qinglong knife in his hand is said to have sixty catties, chopping, slashing, patting, and sweeping...... Mighty power.

The two of you come and go, Wei Ye is all on the offensive, dancing vigorously, almost pressing Quan Xu to fight.

Duan Cheng looked at it for a while, then shook his head and smiled, "Shengwen will definitely lose after fifty rounds." ”

Duan Cheng's martial arts have long been superb, and no one is unconvinced, and his words surprised everyone.

Sure enough, after dozens of moves, Wei Ye seemed to be getting more and more fierce, but he seemed to be restrained everywhere, and his moves were all blocked by Quan Xu.

After another dozen moves, Wei Ye had unconsciously retreated to the edge, and Quan Xu suddenly changed his moves, and the tip of the spear was like a spirit snake, making the other party scramble and unable to parry.

"Boom"

With a loud bang, Wei Ye's tall body fell directly into the bonfire, stirring up countless sparks.

Several soldiers rushed forward, pulled him up from the fire, and extinguished the fire on him.

"Brother Wei, are you okay?"

Quan Xu looked at it apologetically, but Wei Ye, who was full of embarrassment, laughed.

"It's okay, I fought really hard today, and the general's combat power is unparalleled, and I admire it."

Speaking of clasping his fists and saluting, he was convinced in this battle.

"Let's go, let's drink."

Quan Xu and Wei Ye sat side by side, the two chatted and drank, and from time to time there was a hearty laughter, like a pair of friends who had known each other for many years.

Three days later, Duan Cheng and a few people parted ways and went to Gaochang, while the other three went to Shanshan City together, and then parted from here.

Due to the long distance, the speed of military reports was slow, and when they arrived in Liu Zhi's hands, they were generally about ten days late.

At the end of April, Duan Cheng's Eastern Route Army had reached Alashankou and began the offensive, while Zhao Kai had not yet reached Chigu.

Quan Xu and Wei Ye were only halfway there, and the secret agents on the Dayue clan's side came with bad news, their wolf ambitions were indeed secretly colluding with Dawan.

Running for a long time, while the other party is waiting for work, it seems that the future of Dawan is uncertain.

Liu Zhi watched the military newspaper and analyzed the military situation with several veteran generals of the Military Aircraft Government every day, although they were all very confident in the final victory of this battle.

But if the cost of the process is too great, it is still not cost-effective, the geographical conditions over there are complicated, and if it were not for the overwhelming superiority of the Han in weapons and equipment, it is really difficult to say whether the winner or loser.

By the middle of May, the battle situation on the Wusun side had gradually become clear, and although the Northern Xiongnu had also increased their troops to the border, they had never stood still and did not participate in the rescue.

The opportunity was fleeting, and the Han army soon seized the initiative, attacking from east to west, fighting on two fronts, and there was internal strife in the desperation of Wusun State.

Basically, the big picture is set, and there will be no more surprises.

But on Dawan's side, there were twists and turns, not only did the Dayue clan openly send troops to provoke, but Kangju in the west was also ready to move.

The Yulin army was only 2,500 people, plus the 1,000 people led by Wei Ye, the total number was only 3,500, and the two countries were separated by the majestic green mountains, so the original garrison was also very small, and it could not play a big role.

Liu Zhi instructed the spies there to bypass the Great Moon Clan and contact Tianzhu and Persia, promising them that they would have priority in the future in trade on the Silk Road.

For the Silk Road of the Han Dynasty, these two countries are still fresh in their memories, because they are in the position of a transit point, which greatly promotes their prosperity.

But with the decline of the Silk Road, their economy also collapsed, so they never forgot the prosperity of the Silk Road.

Now I heard that the Emperor of the Han Dynasty had attacked Dawan and was preparing to reopen trade, and everyone was like a chicken.

Liu Zhi even promised that if he could defeat the Dayue Clan, he could divide it with them, and of course they would rush to this kind of good thing.

For the capricious villain country of the Dayue Clan, Liu Zhi is very unkind, and has long had the intention to get rid of it, and it will be a scourge to stay on the Silk Road sooner or later.

It's better to take this opportunity and get a hundred.

Although Quan Xu and Wei Ye's army was small in number, they were all elite soldiers, and they carried the most gunpowder.

In order to give Tianzhu and Persia time to send troops, after Quan Xu arrived at the border, he stopped, set up camp, and did not attack for a long time.

However, the bad news from Wusun's side made Dawan and Dayue dare not be careless, and almost all of the main army was attracted to the eastern front and waited for it.

didn't know that he was quietly surrounded by people behind him.

Three days later, at the appointed time, Quan Xu and Wei Yebing split into two routes and launched a fierce attack on the Da Yue clan and Da Wan at the same time.

This battle can be described as earth-shattering, not only Dawan and Da Yue were terrified, but also Tianzhu and Persia, who were allies, were also shocked.

I didn't expect the power of gunpowder to be so powerful, it was simply a fairy method, and it was beyond the power of man.

Seeing the blood and thunderbolts flying on the battlefield, many soldiers were frightened, dropped their weapons and began to kneel on the ground and pray.

In the front, there was a great Han iron cavalry born like a fierce god, and behind there were two major imperial alliances, and the Dayue clan regretted that their intestines were blue.

For the sake of a little profit, he took the initiative to provoke a war, but now he is in a dilemma, and it is difficult to ride a tiger.

This famous clan has no integrity at all, and when he saw that the situation was not right, he planned to surrender after leaving Dawan.

But at this time, none of the three countries participating in the siege would agree, seeing that such a big piece of fat was in the mouth, how could it be reasonable to spit it out again.

At the end of May, the war ended in full, and the new king of Wusun surrendered with all his subjects and voluntarily included in the jurisdiction of the Western Regions Protectorate.

Dawan was also destroyed, and the Dayue clan was divided into three, and was divided between the Han Dynasty, Tianzhu, and Persia.

The royal family of the Dayue clan was as anxious as a lost dog, fled to Kangju, and finally went to the Northern Xiongnu.

At this point, all obstacles on the Silk Road on the middle line were swept away, and hundreds of Dawan good horses were sent to Luoyang as trophies.
