As soon as Han Sui died, the three counties of Zhangye, Jiuquan and Dunhuang were leaderless. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Sanjun Taishou was originally a Hanchen, but he was forced to surrender to Han Sui, and now that Wang Shi is coming, they naturally want to change their course and return to the rule of the Han Dynasty.

Wei Xuan appeased him a little, but still made him the county guard, and he led the army straight to Yumen Pass.

Since the defeat of the Xiongnu by the Han Dynasty, the Western Regions Protectorate was established to manage the entire Western Regions. Of course, this kind of management is relatively loose. The countries of the Western Regions were vassals to the Han Dynasty, but they still maintained a certain degree of autonomy and had their own kings, but the succession to the throne needed to be confirmed by the imperial court.

The dividing line between Liangzhou and the Western Regions is in the area of Yumen and Yangguan, and on the day that Wei Xuan arrived at Yumen Pass, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Lu Bu respectively led their troops over.

Hanzhong is actually a lonely land, surrounded by the territory of Weixuan. The reason why Wei Xuan has never used force against Hanzhong is because there is no boundary gate there. This time he sent troops to Liangzhou and the Western Regions, and he did it easily. Zhang Lu learned that the Weixuan army was coming, and hurriedly surrendered the city. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei only thought about making more contributions, but they didn't bother Zhang Lu with much effort, but still let him be stationed in the local area, and the two traveled day and night to catch up with Wei Xuan's army. In order to reduce Liu Bei's imprisonment for a few more years, Guan and Zhang are also hard enough.

Lu Bu came so quickly, but he was worried that he would miss the opportunity to plunder. In the Mobei grassland, he robbed a lot of Xianbei women. The Xianbei woman has fair skin, a slender figure, and a beautiful appearance, and she doesn't know how much stronger than the Xiongnu woman. In today's wealthy families of the Han family, they are proud of raising Xianbei beautiful women, known as white slaves. Lu Bu not only raised a lot of white slaves in his own house, but also made a lot of money by selling white slaves. He is lustful and greedy for money by nature, but he is not willing to miss the opportunity to plunder in Guishuang.

Wei Xuan praised the positive performance of the three of them, and then led the army out of Yumen Pass.

......

The Western Regions was an important node on the ancient Silk Road, where the Silk Road was divided into the South and North Routes. The north road passes through Quli, Qiuci, Gumo to Shule, and the south road passes through Shanshan, Jimo, Jingjue, Khotan, Pishan, Shache to Shule, and finally from Shule to Dawan. The north road is closer, but there is a place called Bailongdui between Dunhuang and Lop Nur, which has complex terrain and often makes caravans get lost, so most caravans will choose the south road.

Wei Xuan's purpose in coming to the Western Regions was neither to do business nor to conquer, but to serve the two boundary gates near Qiuci and Dawan, so he did not hesitate to choose the northern path.

In the desert, the most feared encounter with a black storm full of sand and dust is beyond the human power to resist. If you add the complex terrain, no amount of troops will be a dead end. However, Wei Xuan has mastered the three techniques of praying for sunshine, praying for rain, and covering the sun, praying for clear weather can dispel dust storms, covering the sun can cover the scorching sun, and praying for rain can help everyone wash away the wind and dust in the severely lacking desert.

Along the way, Wei Xuan continued to cast spells, leading the army through the White Dragon Pile smoothly, and even rained in Lop Nur, where the annual precipitation is almost zero, and the price he paid was to consume nearly a hundred lower grade spirit stones. Several guides who have been walking on the Silk Road all the year round couldn't help but praise and say that the prince was lucky.

After Lop Nur is the canal plow, 400,000 troops suddenly appeared in this small country, which immediately caused a panic. Wei Xuan sent someone to summon the king of Qu Plough to meet him, appeased him for a while, and gave him gold, silver, silk and other things, and asked him to issue a notice to reassure the people.

After figuring out that Wei Xuan was just borrowing the way, the Qu Plough people were still very hospitable. The king of the canal plough set up a banquet in the city, and the beautiful girl sang and danced to welcome the arrival of the Han army, and also made many soldiers feel an exotic style.

The friendship of the Han army soon spread from the canal plow, and the king of Qiuzi personally led the civil and military forces along the road to greet him, and Wei Xuan inevitably sent another sum of money. Anyway, his Qiankun bag has a lot of space, and this time it can be regarded as fully prepared. For the countries of the Western Regions, his policy is still to appease and win over. After all, this area is an important node connecting the Han Dynasty with Kushan, Kangju and other countries, as well as to Anxi and Rome, and it must be kept stable.

That night, Wei Xuan ordered the army to set up camp outside the city of Qiuzi, and he took advantage of the dead of night to use the art of earth to find the gate. This boundary gate is connected to the nineteenth world, which can also be called the sky world according to the Tiangang and Earth Evil, and Wei Xuan has also mastered the thirty-six ways of divine power to derive Yuanyang.

Yuanyang represents life, and the so-called export of Yuanyang is to steal part or even all of the enemy's vitality. Without vitality, the only result is death or becoming the living dead. Like all supernatural powers and spells, the effect of such a powerful supernatural power is also related to the respective cultivation of the caster and the recipient.

......

Finding the goal he needed, Wei Xuan refused the enthusiasm of the King of Qiuci, did not pause too much in Qiuci, and continued westward to Gumo. The Western Regions Protectorate of the Han Dynasty was located in Gumo, because of the turmoil in the imperial court, no new Western Regions Protector has been appointed, and there are only some subordinate officials from the Han Dynasty and the Western Regions in the Protectorate.

Knowing the arrival of the imperial army, these subordinate officials naturally had to go out of the city to greet them, and their faces were full of excitement, which showed that the imperial court had not forgotten them. To Wei Xuan's surprise, there were also envoys from the Western Regions who went out to greet these subordinate officials.

It turned out that the 400,000 troops of Weixuan had infantry, cavalry, a large amount of grain, grass, baggage, and siege equipment, and they needed to take care of each other, so the marching speed could not be too fast, but the news that the army had come to the Western Regions had spread rapidly. The countries of the Western Regions did not know the intention of Wei Xuan's coming, and they were sincerely afraid, so they sent envoys to meet them.

Wei Xuan did not hide it, and directly told everyone that the target of the army was the Kushan Empire in the west. The art of war does pay attention to the speed and surprise of the soldiers, but many times, when your strength is strong to a certain extent, you don't need to use any art of war, and you can directly crush the past with absolute strength. Wei Xuan now has such self-confidence, and he clearly told the Guishan people, I am here to beat you, what can you do?

Hearing that the goal of the Chu army was not himself, the envoys of the Western Regions were all relieved. Immediately, one by one, they were indignant and expressed their willingness to send troops to help. These countries were located on the Silk Road, and the caravans that came and went brought them prosperity and wealth, but also the greed and cunning of their merchants.

Guishan was a country founded by the Dayue people, who were originally also a member of the Western Regions, but later encountered the oppression of the Xiongnu and were forced to move west. The nomads' prowess soon established themselves in the west and grew stronger, stretching from Patna in the east to Herat in the west, the Danabata River in the south, and the Aral Sea in the north.

However, the throne passed to Hubisega II, and the empire began to decline, and Kangju, Dawan, Khorasan, Khorezm and other places successively got rid of Kushan rule. At this time, the 400,000 soldiers of the Han Dynasty came here, and it was difficult for Guishan to resist, and the countries of the Western Regions also wanted to get a piece of the pie.
