After defeating the Dawan cavalry outside Guishan City, Liu Chan set up camp outside Guishan City. Although he did not immediately launch an attack on Guishan City, nearly 50,000 Han cavalry were stationed outside the city, which in itself was a threat to Dawan Kingdom.
A strong deterrent.
Guishan Palace.
After learning the news of the defeat, King Lanyao of Dayuan suddenly felt on pins and needles.
Originally, I wanted to take advantage of the Han army's labor force to go on an expedition, wait for the hard work, and defeat the Han cavalry in one fell swoop.
But who would have thought that Dawan would suffer such a disastrous defeat as soon as the two armies fought.
"Your Majesty!"
The strong man who had led the troops to fight the Han army said in a deep voice: "Although our army cannot defeat the Han army head-on, it is not easy for the Han army to break through our Guishan City."
"What are your plans, General?" asked Lan Yao, King of Dayuan.
Although Lan Yao is the king of Dawan, he actually doesn't have many ideas when facing the Han cavalry pressing on the enemy, so he would like to hear the opinion of General Wu Zhe.
Wu Zhe, forty-seven years old at the time, was the general of Dawan.
"Secure the city and hold on," Wuzhe said, "At the same time, send people to Guishang to ask for help."
But as soon as Wu Zhe finished speaking, Princess Nuoqi shook her head and said: "Father, it is possible to close the city and hold on, but we need help from Guishuang..." She paused and said: "Water from afar cannot quench the thirst of the near."
p>
Before the war started, as Princess Dawan, Nuoqi really believed that the general's idea of waiting for work was a very good idea.
But now, she discovered.
Wu Zhe harms the country.
As the general of Dawan, Wuzhe knew nothing about the Han Dynasty, which is why Dawan suffered such a disastrous defeat. Therefore, when Wuzhe now asked for help from Guishang, she was very dissatisfied.
"The general must not know yet." Nuoqi continued: "Just a month ago, the Sassanid Dynasty defeated the Northern Kushan Army."
As soon as Nuoqi finished speaking, the entire hall fell into dead silence.
Decades ago, the Han Dynasty was in turmoil. Dayuan, which was on the border of the Western Regions, was no longer under the control of the Han Dynasty. At this time, Dayuan became attached to the Kushan Empire.
Perhaps when the Han Dynasty was not in turmoil, Kushan was no match for the Han Dynasty, but the turbulent Han Dynasty naturally had no interest in interfering with matters in the Western Regions.
But just a few years ago, a new empire emerged in the West - this was the Sasanian dynasty that replaced the Parthian dynasty.
Just because of the lack of information, the officials of Dawan did not know that the ambitions of the emerging Sasanian Dynasty were not small, and they had launched a war against Kushan a few months ago.
"Is this true, princess?" Wuzhe asked.
Wu Zhe is the general of Dawan and holds the main cavalry of Dawan. Over the years, he has been committed to relying on Kushan because he feels that the Han Dynasty has lived up to its former courage, not to mention that Dawan is far away from the Han Dynasty, and the Western Regions
There are many countries, and relying on big countries is the way out for Dawan.
But——
Of course he knew about the establishment of the Sasanian Dynasty, but he really didn't know about the Sasanian Dynasty's attack on Kushan.
Nuoqi smiled and said: "Before the Han army attacked, one of my caravans returned to the west. They told me that the Sasanian Dynasty had captured a large area in northern Kushan."
This——
When Wuzhe heard this, he had to believe that it was true, because Princess Nuoqi was responsible for Dawan's external trade, and information about many Western matters was obtained through her caravan.
"What should we do?" Lan Yao sighed and said: "There is the Sassanid Dynasty in the west, and there are Han cavalry in the east. Is it possible that we, Dawan, want to destroy the country?"
Dawan was destroyed——
This is really not impossible. After all, because Dawan was attached to Guishuang, it refused the Han's offer. Last year, it robbed and killed the Han's caravan, which led to the Han cavalry coming to kill them.
Compared with the worries in the palace of Guishan City, the Han army outside Guishan City was very excited at the moment, because they defeated the Dawan cavalry, and they won a great victory.
"Your Majesty!"
Guo Huai cupped his hands and said: "At this time, Dawan has been defeated. Our army can take the opportunity to attack Guishan City. If Guishan City is destroyed, Dawan will be destroyed."
"Yes!" Guan Suo also said: "It just happened to destroy Dawan in one fell swoop."
During this expedition, Liu Chan said at the swearing-in meeting that the purpose of this expedition was very simple, which was to destroy Dawan.
Now the army has arrived at Guishan City, and today they defeated Dawan's cavalry.
Destroyed Dawan.
But Liu Chan shook his head and said: "It is easy to destroy Dawan, but it is not so easy to completely control Dawan."
This is what Zhuge Liang told him five years ago at Lantian Camp when he and the Prime Minister discussed opening up the Western Regions.
At that time, he also thought that the countries in the Western Regions were too troublesome, so he might as well go all the way and destroy them all, then establish several states and counties in the Western Regions, and send some governors to govern them. Over time, the Western Regions Channel would be stable.<
/p>
But Zhuge Liang didn't think so. He felt that although the countries in the Western Regions could not compete with the Central Plains Dynasty in terms of strength, if they wanted to directly conquer them, managing them would not be that easy.
"Let's wait and see!" Liu Chan said with a smile: "I believe that after this defeat, Dawan no longer has the ability to dare to compete head-on with my Han cavalry."
Three days later——
A Dawan envoy walked into the Han army camp.
"The foreign minister pays homage to His Majesty!"
The envoy bowed respectfully to Liu Chan.
Liu Chan was naturally happy to see this envoy. It seemed that the progress was as he expected. After the defeat in Dawan three days ago, they no longer had the ability to fight against the Han Dynasty.
"Tell me!" Liu Chan said in a deep voice: "When will your King of Dayuan come to surrender?"
Liu Chan didn't want to talk nonsense with him. The winner, the strong, in front of the weak, do they need to be polite to him?
Of course not -
The envoy couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this. He thought that this Han emperor was too direct.
"Your Majesty!"
Just as the envoy was about to speak, Liu Chan said again: "If you want to say any other nonsense, stop talking and tell me directly when Dawan will surrender to me!"
"Three days!" Liu Chan stretched out three fingers and continued: "I will give King Dawan three more days. If Dawan does not surrender within three days, I will destroy Guishan City!"
Under Liu Chan's aggressive power, the Dawan envoy originally thought about whether he could gain some power if Dawan surrendered.
But now it seems that the Han emperor does not intend to give him a chance to speak.
He was helpless. He was ordered to come to the Han camp today to surrender to the Han. He just hoped that the relationship between the two countries could be restored to the relationship it had decades ago, with Dawan becoming a vassal state of the Han.
"Your Majesty!" the envoy said helplessly: "Dawan is willing to surrender!"
Hum——
Seeing the desolate look of the Dawan envoy, Liu Chan was naturally in a good mood, and the entire Han army generals in the tent were also overjoyed at this moment.
The surrender of Dawan means that the war is over.
The next morning.
Liu Chan and a group of generals arrived at the gate of Guishan City. At this time, the gate of Guishan City was opened, but Liu Chan did not intend to enter the city. He and the generals stood a hundred steps away from the city gate.
SNSD——
Dozens of people walked out of Guishan City. They were all walking out, their faces gloomy.
The leader is Lan Yao, King of Dayuan.
Lan Yao has been the king of Dawan for more than ten years, but he never thought that one day he would experience such a predicament as he does today.
Looking at the emperor and ministers of Dawan, Liu Chan was in a good mood.
Because this is the first time he has conquered a country. Although it is only a smaller Dawan country, this feeling is still very wonderful.
"Lan Yao pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty!"
Lan Yao led Dawan's civil and military officials to a place more than ten steps away from Liu Chan. Everyone knelt on one knee, including Lan Yao himself.
Lan Yao held an exquisite scimitar in his hand and said: "Your Majesty Lan Yao, bring hundreds of Dawan officials to surrender to the Han Dynasty."
The scimitar in Lan Yao's hand also symbolizes the royal power of Dawan.
Handing over the royal power also expressed willingness to surrender to the Han Dynasty.
After Lan Yao finished speaking, a junior high school student stepped forward and took away the scimitar from Lan Yao's hand, then returned to Liu Chan's horse and handed the scimitar to Liu Chan with both hands.
咲咛——
Liu Chan pulled out the scimitar and made a crisp friction sound. Then he pushed the scimitar back into the scabbard, and then Liu Chan said loudly: "Quite surrender!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"The Han Dynasty will last for ten thousand years!"
"The Han Dynasty will last for ten thousand years!"
In an instant, tens of thousands of Han knights shouted "Ten Thousand Years of Han Dynasty" in unison, and the momentum was earth-shaking.
At the end of the surrender ceremony, King Lan Yao of Dayuan led Liu Chan's war horse and slowly entered Guishan City step by step. On the streets he passed, the people on both sides held their chests with one hand, expressing their willingness to surrender at the feet of the Han Emperor.
p>
I originally thought that Guishan City, as the capital of the Dawan Kingdom, should not be too small in size, but after entering the city, Liu Chan realized that he was overthinking it.
Except for the house architecture, it is very different from the Central Plains. The buildings here are relatively Western-style, but the scale is not large. Strictly speaking, it is not as big as Chengdu, the capital of the Han Dynasty.
The royal palace of Dawan is located in the center of Guishan City.
Entering the palace hall, Liu Chan sat on the throne that originally belonged to Lan Yao without thinking.
Although the scale of this Guishan city is not large, the palace of the Dayuan Kingdom is extremely luxurious. The palace buildings are well-proportioned and the interior of the palace is even more magnificent. There are all kinds of gold sculptures. Even the throne of the King of Dayuan is
Made of gold.
Nima——
Liu Chan sat on the throne and experienced the feeling of being in a golden house for the first time.
Cool!
Dayuan King Lan Yao and a group of Dayuan ministers knelt on one knee in the main hall, waiting for Liu Chan's final arrangements for them.
Liu Chan glanced at Lan Yao. He was about sixty years old and of medium build. He was considered a charitable old man.
Looking at his appearance, Liu Chan was a little curious.
How could such a charitable old man think of robbing a Han caravan?
After watching Lan Yao, Liu Chan's eyes glanced around the hall again, and finally settled on a girl behind Lan Yao.
鳯玘——
That's right, the girl was none other than the princess of Dawan Kingdom, Nuoqi, who had fought with him outside Guishan City a few days ago.
Liu Chan couldn't help but feel happy when he saw Nuoqi.
Naturally, the scene from a few days ago appeared in his mind. That day he teased the girl during the fight, so that the girl had no intention of fighting in the end.
But at that time, Nuoqi was very handsome.
But now, her arrogance has disappeared. She lowered her head and knelt on one knee in the main hall like her father.
This is war——
As a winner, although Liu Chan enjoys this feeling, he also hates war from the bottom of his heart. However, he cannot help himself, because if he does not launch a war, others may launch a war against him.
