Time flies like an arrow, time flies.
Five years later——
In the 16th year of Jianxing of the Han Dynasty (AD 238), it was early morning on June 17th.
Outside Guishan City.
The two cavalry have already set up their formation.
"Haha!"
A general in golden armor looked coldly at the tens of thousands of cavalry on the opposite side, and sneered inexplicably: "Anyone who bullies my big man, I will kill with my own hands!"
"Dawan, it will be over today!"
This warrior is none other than Liu Chan, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty.
Five years ago, after Prime Minister Zhuge Liang decided to open up the Western Regions, the Han Dynasty sent envoys to various countries in the Western Regions in order to show friendship.
After three years of hard work, most of the countries in the Western Regions expressed their willingness to submit to the Han Dynasty.
Only the Dayuan Kingdom, located at the western foot of Congling Mountain, was not only unwilling to submit to the Han Dynasty, but also often harassed the Wusun Kingdom, which was already attached to the Han Dynasty.
In October of the fifteenth year of the founding of the Han Dynasty (AD 237), a Han caravan passing through Dawan was attacked by the Dawan Kingdom. Not only were the goods robbed, but all the members of the caravan were killed.
.
After learning the news, the Han Emperor Liu Chan, who was originally quite dissatisfied with Dawan's unwillingness to surrender, finally found a window to vent his anger.
The royal driver personally conquers——
I want to conquer Dawan myself.
Liu Chan made this decision, but it shocked the civil and military forces of the Han Dynasty and the Manchu Dynasty. You must know that although the Han Dynasty had experienced an unprecedented improvement in national power after several years of development.
Especially in the past few years, the countries in the Western Regions have surrendered, and various products of the Han Dynasty have been sold to the countries in the Western Regions, which has also brought considerable profits to the Han Dynasty.
When a country has money, its national power will naturally become stronger.
Even Cao Wei in the east and Sun Wu in the southeast are very jealous.
However, although the Han Dynasty is now not as good as the Eastern and Western Han Dynasties, its strength cannot be underestimated. But at this time, there are two countries that are not short-sighted.
One is the Dawan Kingdom located at the western foot of Congling Mountain, and the other is the Tang Yan Kingdom located on the southwest border.
In comparison, between Dayuan and Tang Yang, the biggest headache for the Han Dynasty was Tang Yang, which was located on the southwest border, because in recent years, Tang Yang had sent troops to harass the Nanzhong region of the Han from time to time.
The imperial court also sent envoys to Dajiawa to meet the Queen of Tang Yang, hoping that Tang Yang would not intrude on the Han border and that the two countries would live in harmony since then, because the Han's aspirations were not in the southwest and would not pose a threat to Tang Yang.
However, I don’t know why.
I don’t know if this Queen of Tang Yang Kingdom is possessed by evil spirits or something else.
Three envoys sent by the Han Dynasty entered the Tang Dynasty, but no one survived and they were all killed by their tribes.
As the saying goes, you can't bear it if you're familiar with it.
June, the fifteenth year of the founding of the Han Dynasty.
Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, personally led 50,000 cavalry to march westward to Tang Dynasty.
This decision was made out of necessity.
Because in the past few years, Tang Yangguo has harassed the Nanzhong area not only once or twice, but almost every year.
The Nanzhong region was the rear area that Prime Minister Zhuge Liang finally conquered. How could he allow Tang Yan to intrude like this? If the Han Dynasty kept turning a blind eye, it might not be long before there would be another possibility of rebellion in the Nanzhong region.
During Zhuge Liang's campaign against Tang Yan, news came back from the Western Regions that the caravan was attacked in Dawan, which made Liu Chan very upset.
He naturally knew that the reason why the Dawan Kingdom attacked the Han caravan at this time was because he thought that the Han Dynasty was using troops in Tang Dynasty at this time, and the Dawan Kingdom was far away from the Han Dynasty.
Swallowed?
Perhaps in the eyes of the Dawan people, the strength of the current Han Dynasty is far different from that of the Han Dynasty decades or even hundreds of years ago. Moreover, their focus is now on the Central Plains, and it is impossible to take care of the Dawan Kingdom on the border of the Western Regions.
.
It is also for this reason that when the Han envoys came to Dayuan, Dayuan was not willing to surrender to Liu Chan's Han Dynasty.
But——
After the Battle of Guanzhong and the hard work of the past few years, Liu Chan is no longer the Liu Chan he was more than ten years ago.
The imperial chariot marches in person.
Three months ago, Liu Chan personally led 60,000 cavalrymen out of Yumen in the east and headed straight for the Dawan Kingdom at the western foot of Congling Mountains. However, he lost nearly 10,000 soldiers while crossing the desert on the way.
June, 238 AD.
The 50,000 cavalry led by Liu Chan crossed the Congling Mountains and were invincible all the way. Finally, on the evening of the 16th, they arrived outside Guishan City, the capital of the Dawan Kingdom.
"Your Majesty!"
The guard captains Tu Lianhu and Tian Mu said in unison: "At the end of this battle, the general will be the vanguard and will come to see His Majesty to kill the King of Dayuan."
Fighting all the way to Guishan City, the soldiers were also eager to perform their duties.
At this time, Liu Chan was very pleased to see the two young generals asking for military service. These two were the second place winners in the first martial arts examination of the Han Dynasty.
Because the Prime Minister conquered Tang Yan in the west and took away a group of capable generals.
Liu Chan suddenly wanted to launch an army to attack the Dawan Kingdom. In fact, there were not many generals left for him. On this trip, he mainly used some young generals. They were the guard captains Tian Mu, Tu Lianhu, and Pingxi general Guan Suo.
Xiaoqi Colonel Yang Tongshan, Pingnan General Guo Huai, Auxiliary General Zhao Tong, etc.
"Hongyi," Tu Lianhu said quickly: "Don't fight with me in this battle. The head of the King of Dayuan belongs to me, Tu Lianhu."
When Tu Lianhu was in the military examination, he was ranked below Tian Mu because of his poor response to the imperial examination. He was only ranked first in the rankings. In the past few years, he had only held idle positions in the army. This time he finally got the opportunity to go with the army.
When he first entered the Dawan Kingdom, Tian Mu was brave and good at fighting and made many military exploits. Now that he was about to attack the capital of the Dawan Kingdom, Tu Lianhu naturally did not want to let Tian Mu take the lead.
However, Tian Mu is young and energetic, so how could he miss such a good opportunity?
"It's not that I, Tian Houyi, want to compete with you," Tian Mu said with a smile, "but that you can't compete with me at all, okay? If you can't even compete with me, Tian Houyi, how can you challenge the King of Dawan?"
The two had competed several times before, but Tian Mu won every time.
Seeing the two young generals competing to be the vanguard, Liu Chan looked at Guo Huai beside him and burst into laughter: "Guo Aiqing, who do you think I should use as the vanguard?"
They were originally going to watch a show, but the emperor suddenly asked. Guo Huai was stunned for a moment, then shook his head helplessly and said: "If your Majesty is undecided, how about letting Wei Chen take the position of vanguard?"
???
Liu Chan was stunned when he heard this. He wanted to ask Guo Huai to give him an idea. Unexpectedly, this man came to take the vanguard. And as soon as he finished speaking, Guan Suo and Zhao Tong were not to be outdone, and both expressed their willingness to be the vanguard.
.
Liu Chan should be very happy that several generals have to be the vanguard. After all, his generals are competing for meritorious service, which is a good thing.
But——
He also knew very well that today's battle was no different than in the past.
It should be said that although they encountered some resistance when they entered Dawan, the resistance was relatively weak.
Because from the beginning, the people of Dawan did not expect that the Han Dynasty would dare to attack the two countries at the same time, and this was even under the circumstances of the powerful Wei Dynasty in the east.
So when Liu Chan suddenly entered the country of Dawan, there were not many soldiers and horses to stop him on the border of Dawan, so he was very powerful along the way. In just more than ten days, he led 50,000 cavalry to the foot of Guishan City.
.
Guishan City is the capital of Dayuan Kingdom.
It stands to reason that the Dawan people can rely on the strong city to defend the city. After all, the Han cavalry came from afar and they did not prepare siege equipment. Even if they were made on site, it would take time.
"The First Cause of All Realms"
But, this morning.
Instead of closing the city and holding on, the Dawan people sent tens of thousands of cavalry to form a formation with the Han cavalry in the fields outside Guishan City, as if they wanted to defeat the Han cavalry from afar.
"Liu Chan!"
Just when Tian Mu and others were arguing about who should be the vanguard, in front of the Dawan cavalry formation, a female general with a high nose and deep eyes leaped forward on her horse. She pointed her scimitar and shouted loudly: "Don't you do it in Chang'an?"
Your emperor, why are you here to invade our borders?"
Hiss——
As soon as the woman finished speaking, her horse suddenly roared loudly as she sat down, making her look even more heroic.
Meeting a female general on the battlefield shocked all the Han soldiers.
However, people called Liu Chan by name. If Liu Chan didn't come out to talk to him at this time, it would seem that the Han soldiers were too cowardly.
So Liu Chan waved his horse whip lightly and took a few steps forward.
"Your Majesty!"
The generals behind him were suddenly startled. They were worried that the emperor was in danger.
"No problem!" Liu Chan waved his hand back slightly, and then said with a smile to the woman: "There is no one in the small country of Dawan, but they actually sent a woman out into battle?"
"Presumptuous!" The female general suddenly became furious.
However, Liu Chan disagreed and continued: "How young is the girl? Can we get married? Otherwise, come back to Chang'an with me. How about I make you my beloved concubine?"
When Liu Chan said this, the woman, who was already furious, suddenly sneered: "I thought you were the emperor of the Han Dynasty, but you turned out to be such a shameless libertine."
"No, no, no!" Liu Chan waved his hand and said, "The emperor is also a human being, and he also has emotions and desires. He will not be able to move his legs when he encounters a beautiful woman."
"Pfft!" The woman couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard the words, wondering how someone would comment on her like this, that an emperor couldn't move his legs when he saw a woman?
Seeing the woman's smile, Liu Chan added: "Let's not fight this war. Go back quickly and tell your king that as long as you are betrothed to me as his imperial concubine, I promise that he will never destroy his country of Dawan."
."
As soon as Liu Chan finished speaking, all the generals behind him burst into laughter.
However, the woman suddenly became angry and said: "Don't say anything arrogant. Is it possible that our Kingdom of Dawan can be destroyed by a dissolute and foolish king like you who wants to destroy it?"
As she spoke, she also sneered and said: "Since you are the emperor of the Han Dynasty, you will die at the gate of my Guishan City today, so why not let me give you a ride."
"Ah???" Liu Chan was stunned and asked: "Are you the princess of Dawan Kingdom?"
This really surprised Liu Chan. He originally thought he was an ordinary female general from Dawan, but unexpectedly he turned out to be the princess of Dawan.
"Are you afraid?" the woman said.
"Afraid!" Liu Chan couldn't help but nodded and said, "I'm afraid that the princess won't be able to withstand my torture. I'm really afraid."
"Shameless and foolish king, you will die!" The woman suddenly became furious. She heard the crisp sound of a riding whip, and she waved the scimitar in her hand, and rushed straight to Liu Chan to kill him.
