"In the first battle of Qiuci, more than 27,000 people of Zhuhu were killed, and more than 21 people including the princes of the Western Regions such as Bochun and Nalong were captured, and the Zhuhu trampled on each other, robbed and killed each other, no less than 30,000 people, more than 23 livestock, 780,000 stones of wheat and millet, and gold and money were piled up like a mountain, which is innumerable! General Lü Guang captured more than 3,000 craftsmen, monks, scholars, doctors, and dancers and musicians of the Qiuzi Kingdom. ”

Lu Qing excitedly read the good news sent.

After a series of big victories, Li Yue has long been unconscious.

If Murong Chui is defeated, it is incredible.

This battle also established his status as the No. 2 person in the military circle of Daliang, worthy of Li Yue's attention to him back then, and he was already one of the two sharpest knives in Daliang.

Another outstanding performer in the Battle of Qiuzi was Lu Guang.

He led the Xuanjia army to drive out the defeated army, and took advantage of the chaos to enter Qiuzi City, so that the battle ended quickly.

Otherwise, with the food in Qiuzi City, Bo Chun could hold on for a long time.

He entered the city, quelled the chaos as soon as possible, seized the treasury, and controlled craftsmen, scholars, doctors, etc., showing a very high vision.

What is the most valuable thing these days?

Of course, people, especially craftsmen, scholars, monks.

In the entire Western Regions, Qiuci occupies an important position in culture and art, and many Hule and Hu dances in the Tang Dynasty were introduced by Qiuci in its history.

As for Zhang Hao, Liu Gaozhi, Zhuge Kan and others, they were as brave as ever, invincible and played normally.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!" Everyone in the hall was overjoyed.

"This merit is not owned by me alone, and you will also go down in history!"

Li Yue personally understands that there are three pleasures for men, one is women, and the other is conquest, but they are essentially conquests.

Take Qiuzi, and Daliang will have a foothold in the Western Regions.

Gaochang and Haitou only controlled the choke points in and out of the Western Regions, and they were not deep.

Qiuzi is different, Murong Chui's recital said that this place is the largest oasis in the Western Regions, with herds of cattle and sheep, fertile land, and can support an army of 20,000.

20,000 elites are enough to sweep most of the Western Regions.

Many so-called countries do not even have a population of 20,000, and if they can come up with 2,000 people, they can be considered strong.

However, this can not be helped, the desert Gobi has broken up the regional plates, so that they cannot be connected as a whole.

The only inconsumption of this war is that it let Yue Banguo run.

This country was built by the Northern Xiongnu, the Han Dynasty was expelled by Dou Xian, the Xiongnu Beidan Yu crossed the Jinwei Mountain, fled westward to the grassland under the jurisdiction of Kangju, in history, Yue was once strong enough to compete with Gaoche, Rouran, Disgusting, Northern Wei to compete for the Western Regions,

Geographically, the environment south of the Tianshan Mountains is harsh, and the desert Gobi is dominant.

But to the north of the Tianshan Mountains, this is not the case, and there are many excellent pastures.

The Seven River Basins and the Hezhong region have always been the richest pearls of the Western Regions, and even in later generations, these areas are also rich and rich, lying on the rich resources to count the money.

Whether it is for the necessity of defense, or for the sake of defending Qiuzi and Gaochang, this hidden danger must also be removed.

In the past, there were worries about the shortage of grain and grass and the difficulty of supply, but now with the supplement of Qiuzi country, grain and grass are no longer a problem.

It's not easy to come this time, of course, it's a battle.

The huge impact of this battle was gradually felt in the following month or so.

Of the 39 countries in the Western Regions, except for Qiuzi, who had already declared extinction, the remaining 30 countries sent envoys to Guzang to meet them.

All kinds of Western Regions specialties are carried one after another, and there is an endless stream.

There are more than 1,300 Mei Ji selected by various countries alone......

This made Li Yue deeply depressed, could it be that in their eyes, Emperor Daliang was a womanizer?

Li Yue felt that the unfeminine character he had created for many years collapsed.

However, there are more than 1,300 people, even if the rain and dew are all touched by feng shui in turns, and it will take four or five years without a day......

After four or five years, people are sucked dry......

Fortunately, Li Yue has always known moderation, leaving more than 30 people who are in line with aesthetics, and the others are ready to reward meritorious soldiers as wives and concubines.

It is better to be happy alone than to be happy in all.

Most of the envoys were princes, royal brothers and other important ministers of a certain country, and they made a profound self-examination in front of Li Yue.

Even the countries of Qiuzi and Suwen, who participated in the Qiuzi rebellion, sent people to them, and they were driven back by Li Yue, asking them to wash their necks and prepare for the future, or simply cut themselves off.

There is no principled benevolence, there is no deterrence.

Since he dared to send troops to meet the sword soldiers of the Great Liang, he would be punished as necessary.

Li Yue had already spoken in Guzang before, wanting to destroy his country and his species, and there was no joke about it.

When you come out to mix, you have to talk about credibility, and if you say that if you kill your whole family, you will definitely kill your whole family.

However, despite the great defeat of the Zhuhu coalition army, the Liang army also suffered a lot of casualties, with more than 3,700 killed and 4,100 disabled, and the rest lost a finger, one less ear, and was slashed on the body.

The righteous servants and heroic tribes of Liangzhou are also not counted.

This is equivalent to the loss of combat effectiveness of eight thousand people.

Therefore, the army of the Western Expedition is still recuperating.

What made Li Yue laugh was that without waiting for Li Yue to make a move, Yanqi, Shule, Khotan and other countries formed an alliance army and took the initiative to attack Huhu, Wensu, Weitou and other countries for Daliang.

The people who know themselves best are always their own people.

The most cruel to one's own people is also one's own people.

In less than half a month, these thorny countries were breached, and they slaughtered the city themselves without Li Yue's order.

After the incident, the woman and the child were sent to Qiuzi in a car.

The ruthlessness of the attack is even more ferocious than that of the Black Cloud Army......

But in the process, they didn't take any less benefits.

For Li Yue, the result was not bad, sparing the soldiers from the pain of conquest.

But then a new question arises: whether these destroyed areas should be actually occupied.

Li Yue asked people to get a map of the Western Regions, which marked the location of all the countries.

To the south of the Tianshan Mountains, except for Qiuci and Shule, there is basically no need to occupy other areas, one is remote, the road is inconvenient, and the other is that it cannot support the armies and cannot be cultivated.

In fact, all the problems can be boiled down to one point, the cost of domination is very high.

In this way, it is not difficult to understand that when the Han and Tang Dynasties operated the Western Regions, they only controlled the important land.

The Han army controlled the Western Regions very hard, and it took hundreds of years to defend the border in Tuntian in exchange for two pieces of land in Gaochang and Haitou City.

"From today on, Yuqi will restore the Western Regions Protectorate, and the soldiers will be sent to the west, and those who are willing to stay will be given fields, pastures, slaves, and houses, and all taxes will be exempted!"

In the Western Regions, there is no need to expect to pay taxes, and it would be good to be self-reliant and not consume the grain of Middle Earth.

A conqueror must be like a conqueror.

Li Yue was not interested in learning from the Han Dynasty Tuntian Frontier, although it was steady, but the effect was too slow, so he simply let the soldiers become the military aristocracy of the Western Regions, and only be responsible for two things in the future, conquest, giving birth to babies, and continuing the Chinese incense.

Farm and graze, let the slaves come.
