Facing Fulousha, which was surrounded by water and was already an isolated city, Ansu Weipo, the king of the Kushan Empire, had a sad face.
"Your Majesty!"
A middle-aged man came out of the queue to salute fearfully and said: "The matter has come to this, we can only surrender to the Han army, maybe there is still a glimmer of hope."
A few months ago, he would not have dared to say this.
But now,
He dares to say it, and he must say it, because if he doesn't say it, he may not have the chance to say it again.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, another scholar-looking person,
But he shouted angrily: "Nonsense,"
Your Majesty,
This plan is absolutely impossible, the next person should be killed!"
"???" Po Ansuwei was stunned for a moment and asked: "High Priest, why is this plan not feasible?"
The high priest said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty is the emperor of our Kushan Empire. Now that the Han army is approaching, our Kushan capital is only left with an isolated city. Once the Han army breaks through the city, Your Majesty feels..." He paused.
, looked at the civil and military officials in the main hall, and asked: "If you were the emperor of the Han Dynasty, would you let your majesty go?"
Everyone was silent.
Because they all know this answer.
Now everyone in Kushan can surrender, but Ansu Weipo, the king of Kushan on the throne, cannot surrender, because surrender means death.
No winner will leave a potential danger to himself.
Po Ansuwei was also stunned. He understood what the high priest said.
The ministers surrendered and were demoted to civilians at most.
If you are lucky, you will be entrusted with important tasks by the Han people and continue to serve as officials.
But he is the emperor of the Kushan Kingdom, and he has no choice but to fight to the death.
"Send the order!" Ansuweipo said loudly: "The whole city is under martial law. I swear to fight with the Han people until the city is destroyed and everyone is dead."
After saying that, he looked at the middle-aged man who proposed to surrender, and said coldly: "From now on, anyone who dares to make false claims about surrender will be immediately executed!"
Hearing this, the man's back suddenly felt cold, and a trace of cold sweat flowed down his forehead.
There are still 30,000 people left in Kushan City. It is naturally not advisable to go out to fight the Han army. Going out with 30,000 people to challenge the 160,000-strong army is no different from seeking death.
But if 30,000 people defend the city, can it be defended?
Give it a try!
There is no other choice now!
Outside Fulousha City.
Liu Chan sat on the high platform, and he and Xu Shu, the censor doctor, looked at the battlefield in the distance while sipping fragrant tea comfortably.
Chatting gossip,
I feel so uncomfortable.
"Xu Aiqing!" Liu Chan said with a smile: "Aiqing, have you ever thought about... the territory of our Han Dynasty?
Will it be as big as it is now?"
I don’t know,
Xu Shu cursed, the vast territory of the Han Dynasty is already unprecedentedly huge. Who would have thought?
"I don't know!" Xu Shu smiled faintly.
"Then... Aiqing thinks..." Liu Chan sipped the fragrant tea and said with a smile: "Now that the Han Dynasty has such a large territory, what strategy should the court use to govern it?"
This is a difficult question, and Liu Chan has been thinking about it now.
Xu Shu seemed to be in trouble.
Now the territory of the Han Dynasty starts from the Taihang Mountains in the east and reaches Babylon in the west. Even if the road from Taihang Mountain to Babylon is smooth and travels day and night, it will still take at least a year.
Such a huge empire.
How to govern it?
Take now, for example, the capital of the Han Dynasty is in Chang'an. If the emperor wants to issue a decree and it reaches Babylon, the western border, it will already be a year later.
Oh, the Internet...
Oh, mobile phone...
Oh, TV...
Liu Chan suddenly missed these things that would only appear in the future. If we now have the Internet, mobile TV, high-speed railways, and airplanes... we don't have to worry about these problems now.
As the emperor of an empire, everyone wants to have an infinite territory.
But when the territory is infinite, there are also a lot of troubles.
Thinking of this, Liu Chan suddenly felt that as long as he owned the territory of the Central Plains, as long as other places maintained friendly relations with the Han Dynasty, it would actually be a very good thing.
However, while he was thinking about it.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Several huge explosions sounded, attracting the attention of both people.
At the foot of Fulousha City, Liu Tan, the eldest son of the Han Emperor, pointed his spear and shouted loudly: "Kill! Fight in with me!"
The Han army's current method of attacking the city is simple and crude, which is to blow the city gate down directly, and then the army rushes into the city and kills it, and then the city is taken.
After attacking Fulousha, there were still more than fifty explosive packs left in the army.
Liu Tan hung them all on the three-bow bed crossbow, but this time he used a single-shot bed crossbow. The multi-shot bed crossbow can fire dozens of feather arrows at one time, but it cannot carry explosive bags.
A single shot is different, a long gun is enough to carry an explosive pack.
It's just that the range has been shortened.
A long gun carries a five-pound explosive bag and has a range of only a hundred steps.
So Liu Tan pushed all the three-bow crossbows to a place a hundred steps away from the city, and then more than fifty three-bow crossbows were all aimed at the city gate and fired.
Bang bang bang, after a burst of explosions.
A large gap was opened at the city gate.
The Kushan army originally wanted to hold on to the city, but the battle had just begun and the city gate was blown open by the Han army. How could they fight this battle?
Moreover, the explosion blew up a large number of Kushan troops at the gate of the city and killed them. The nearby Kushan troops hurriedly ran towards this side. At this moment, Liu Tan took the lead and led 50,000 elite Han troops towards the city.
Fulousha City killed him.
"Your Majesty!" Seeing the Han army continue to rush towards Fulousha, Xu Shu gently stroked his silver beard and said with a smile: "How to govern this huge empire, Wei Chen has not yet thought of it, but now Wei Chen feels that,
Your Majesty should think about how to reward His Highness the King of Qin."
Liu Tan has led his army into Fulousha City, and he will make another great contribution. As an emperor and a father, he naturally needs to reward his son.
......
Three days later!
Fulusa Palace.
Liu Chan strolled into the main hall. This palace was not as luxurious as the Palace of Ctesiphon. It did not use gold to create various decorations, but it still had a unique style.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
The main hall is oval in shape, and the throne is located in the north of the main hall. It is carved from jade. When you sit on it, you feel very cool. Even if there is a wool mat on it, you can still feel the slightest coolness.
"I will see you, Your Majesty!"
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
"Everyone is safe!"
Liu Chan sat on the jade throne, feeling very happy. The five-year war finally ended today. The entire West Asia and Europe, this large territory, have now been included in the territory of the Han Dynasty.
And he is the emperor who created this huge empire.
Above this hall, in addition to the civil servants and generals who accompanied Liu Chan in his expedition to Guishuang, there were also several people who were both familiar and unfamiliar to Liu Chan.
But Liu Chan looked at them very kindly.
"My beloved concubine!" Liu Chan patted Wang Yuanji's hand gently and whispered: "We haven't seen each other for a few years. Our Yan'er has become more and more handsome as she grows, and she is no longer as elegant as I was back then."
Liu Chan may be the first person to be so shameless when he praises his handsomeness in front of his wife, and her wife will happily acknowledge it.
But there is no way, he is the emperor.
If you say he was handsome when he was young.
Liu Chan is really a bit shameless, because when he first time traveled, Liu Chan was actually a little fat guy. At that time, he was seventeen years old, about 170 in height, but he did weigh nearly two hundred pounds.
Later, after he ascended the throne, Liu Chan spent more of the first two years exercising to lose weight.
By the time of the Battle of Guanzhong, his height had grown to 1,78, but his weight had also dropped to just over 130 kilograms, which was a satisfactory figure for him.
From then on, even when he was fighting in the north and south, Liu Chan maintained his body shape well, and his appearance was not bad, but he was definitely not particularly handsome.
Liu Yan is now fifteen years old, about 175 in height, with a medium figure, delicate facial features, and fair skin.
Six months ago, Liu Chan had captured most of the territory of the Kushan Empire, so he sent people to Chang'an and Taixi to bring the emperor's third son Liu Yan, the fourth son Liu Rui, and the imperial concubine Wang Yuanji to the Guishan Empire.
It's just that the Central Plains is relatively far away. The two brothers Liu Yan and Liu Rui only arrived at Fulousha yesterday evening. However, Wang Yuanji came from Taixi Feng even faster. A month ago, she and the imperial censor arrived in the army to join Liu Chan.
Liu Chan now has nine children, namely the four princes, King Liu Tan of Qin, King Liu Yan of Ming Dynasty, King Liu Rui of Tang Dynasty, and Prince Liu Chen; the five princesses are the eldest princess of Hanyang Liu Rongyue (Little Jindou), Princess Dongping Liu Fei, and Princess Ningguo Liu Yuan. , as well as the fourth princess Liu Si and the fifth princess Liu Nian.
But these nine children have not all come to Fulousha now. The only ones standing in the main hall at this time are King Liu Tan of Qin, King Liu Yan of Ming, King Liu Rui of Tang, the fourth princess Liu Si, and the fifth princess Liu Nian; as for the crown prince Liu Chen, Princess Liu Rongyue, Liu Fei, and Liu Yuan are still in Chang'an.
Of the nine children, seven of them were given titles by Liu Chan when they were in Chang'an. However, Liu Si and Liu Nian, the twin daughters Wang Yuanji gave birth to for him in Taixi, have not been given titles yet.
Fulousha was captured two days ago and the Kushan Empire was destroyed. This was a great joy. Looking at the children in the main hall, Liu Chan excitedly called out: "Si'er, Nian'er!"
As soon as Liu Chan called the two of them, Liu Si and Liu Nian immediately came out of the queue and said in a sweet voice: "My son is here!"
Suddenly there were two more sisters. Liu Yan and Liu Rui also looked at them happily. Liu Rui whispered softly and asked Liu Tan: "Brother, who is older among these two little ones? Why do they look so similar..."
Liu Tan is the eldest brother. When he left Chang'an, Liu Rui and Liu Yan were also little ones. But when Liu Rui said the little ones now, he couldn't help but want to laugh: "Guess!"
Liu Rui had been thinking about it for a long time, but he couldn't tell who was older and who was younger. The two were almost carved out of the same mold, and they were wearing the same clothes, so it was really difficult to tell them apart.
Liu Yan on the side smiled and said: "I know, the one on the left is Sister Si, and the one on the right is Sister Nian."
But as soon as he finished speaking, the two little ones who had just finished saluting Liu Chan turned back almost simultaneously, shook their little heads, and said, "Brother Sanhuang, I am Nian Nian, and I am Sisi."
As an older brother with the same father and mother, Liu Yan was speechless when he heard this!
