The Parthian barracks suffered a devastating blow, and each Parthian soldier was beaten to pieces and had to hide in Tibet.

The nearly 80,000 Xiakou Cavalry Division were all equipped with the Three Treasures of Mounted Horses, and the hand-held weapons were beyond the century, crushing the Parthian soldiers in all aspects of performance.

Coupled with a sneak attack, the Parthian soldiers were caught off guard.

Eighty thousand Xiakou cavalry galloped wantonly in the Parthian barracks, harvesting the lives of the Parthian soldiers and beating them back steadily.

Half an hour later, the battle in the Xi'an barracks came to an end.

Surrender without killing!

Anyone with weapons will be killed without mercy!

Kneel down and surrender!

Amidst the shouts of the Xiakou Cavalry Division soldiers, more and more Parthian soldiers saw that there was no way to escape and had to give up resistance.

If you don't surrender, you will die!

Especially after General Mohammad escaped, the Parthian soldiers lost their backbone and could not escape. If they wanted to survive, they had no choice but to surrender.

Bang!

When one Parthian soldier dropped his scimitar, there would be a second, third...and countless Parthian soldiers dropped their weapons.

Like an infectious disease.

Zhao Yun learned that General Mohammad had escaped with his bodyguards, and that there were a large number of Parthian soldiers following him, so he immediately led the cavalry division to pursue him.

Thirty thousand cavalry and five thousand infantry were left to take over the prisoners, and the rest of the cavalry division soldiers followed the general to pursue General Mohammed.

Rumble!

drive!

Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiu, Yan Rou, Xia Houlan and other generals led the cavalry division to pursue them desperately. Along the way, they saw countless Parthian soldiers escaping. The Parthian soldiers saw the Lysian cavalry chasing them up. The Parthian soldiers resisted a little, one by one.

Choose to surrender.

During the pursuit, the Xiakou Cavalry Division faced more and more Parthian soldiers and accepted prisoners along the way, which greatly slowed down the pace.

"General Zilong, our speed is too slow, which will give General Mohan Kidd time to escape."

Xia Houlandao.

hehe!

"Hou Lan! We are not chasing General Mohamed to catch him, we are just chasing him.

Captured a large number of Parthian soldiers. General Mohammed is of little value to our Xiakou army.

Capturing more and more Parthian soldiers can create value for our Central Plains region. When the time comes, throw them into civilized schools.

It's all free labor. Besides, prisoners are wealth and money to our soldiers."

Zhao Yun explained.

drive!

Leaving some of the cavalry behind, Zhao Yun led the cavalry division to continue to pursue the Parthian soldiers, and captured the Parthian soldiers who escaped one by one.

Along the way, waves of escaping Parthian soldiers were captured, greatly restricting the pace of the cavalry division.

But what?

More and more Parthian soldiers were captured, and the goal was achieved.

General Mohamed and his personal guards fled non-stop, so fast that they did not stop for a moment.

Zhao Yun and his cavalry division failed to catch up with General Mohamed and his party, and the pursuit stopped after more than 200 miles.

In the evening, Zhao Yun led the cavalry division and escorted the Parthian prisoners back to the camp.

"Report to General Zhao that a total of more than 20,000 Parthian soldiers were killed, and more than 240,000 logistics support troops were captured.

The rest of the Parthian soldiers disappeared without a trace. Tens of thousands of stones of grain, countless bows, arrows, and scimitars were seized. Nearly 60,000 intact war horses were seized. Many of the remaining war horses were injured and can no longer be used as war horses."

Send orders to soldiers.

"General Zhao, when he was chasing Mohamed, he captured many Parthian logistics soldiers who were sent out to build roads and bridges.

Counted among the prisoners. However, according to our interrogation, those people were basically temporarily transferred from the Anxi people."

The messenger added.

"All the prisoners will be escorted back to Mulu City and thrown into a civilized school so that they can make more contributions to the rise of the empire."

Zhao Yundao.

"As you command!"

Send orders to soldiers.

...

Kangju City Lord’s Mansion:

Qin Qi, Dian Wei, Jia Xu, Xun You, Cao Cao, Lu Bu, Taishi Charity, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Le Jin, Li Dian and other generals gathered together.

Everyone was drinking and chatting.

"Gongming, you have worked hard! Over the past few years, we have successfully captured the Western Region and laid a strategic defense depth for the defense system of the Central Plains region. Your contributions will last forever, and the people of the Central Plains would like to thank you."

Qin Qi said.

Qin Qi's words made the three generals Xu Huang, Le Jin, and Li Dian feel warm in their hearts. They felt that no matter how hard or tiring they were, it was worth it.

"My lord, my humble position is just to fulfill the responsibilities of a soldier. There is no such thing as merit. My lord leads the Northern Expedition army.

Over the past few years, the border threats of the Central Plains dynasty have been eliminated and a peaceful, stable production, living and development environment has been created for the people of the Central Plains."

Xu Huangdao.

"Lord, although we have captured the Western Region, it is not easy to hold it! The Western Region is vast and sparsely populated.

In addition, this area is close to a desert, has serious desertification, backward transportation, and is too far away from the Central Plains."

Li Dian stood up and spoke.

oh!

Very surprised!

Qin Qi didn't expect that Li Dian had this idea, which made Qin Qi amazed.

He is worthy of being one of the five good generals.

It does have some foresight.

"General Mancheng, if you have any good ideas, tell us so that we can discuss the feasibility together."

Qin Qi said.

Li Dian stood up and cupped his fists at the generals.

"Lord, in terms of communications, our Xiakou Army is not lagging behind. If there is a problem in the Western Region, it can be received by the Central Plains in a short time.

Due to traffic restrictions, it is impossible for the Central Plains Army to arrive in a short time. Even if the cavalry division is dispatched,

It also takes a month to get to the Western Region. Especially Haolat City, Mulu City, Kangju City, Yilie City,

These local cities are border cities and are definitely vulnerable to attacks from Peacock, Parthian and other empires.

Once a war breaks out, it is difficult to resist a country's attack. In addition, the supply problems of these cities are seriously lagging behind.

It is difficult to get supplies delivered in time. Unless our Central Plains dynasty stationed a large number of troops in the border areas,

In that case, we will consume too much and it will be very uneconomical. I think it would be good to let some border cities establish vassal states and be subordinate to our Central Plains Empire. It will not cost too much manpower and material resources."

Li Diandao.

"General Mancheng, why do I have to lead my army to the north and the west? If that's the case,

There is no need at all. As long as you send a general and lead a cavalry division, you can solve the problem in the Western Region.

My goal is to make the Western Regions the actual ruler of the Central Plains Dynasty. Not only is the Western Regions vast in area but sparsely populated,

The important thing is that there are a lot of resources stored in the Western Region. Some resources cannot be mined with our current technical level.

We must wait until technology advances before we can proceed with the next step. Taking the Western Region is to prepare for future generations.

It's not because I'm greedy for military glory. To be honest, I feel that the Western Region must be brought under direct jurisdiction and cannot be a vassal state.

The territory of the Central Plains Dynasty can only be controlled by one's own hands. Systems such as vassal states are unreliable. Today, vassal states can rely on the Central Plains Dynasty.

Tomorrow we can also rely on other powerful countries. To put it bluntly, the vassal countries are just grassroots. They only measure the benefits.

It doesn’t matter whose vassal country it is. If the interests are large enough, they will immediately rebel against the Central Plains Dynasty."

Qin Qi said.

"Lord, I understand my humble position!"

Li Diandao.

"Of course, the difficulties Man Cheng mentioned are real problems and must be solved. Otherwise, we will really not be able to defend this area of ​​the Western Region."

Qin Qi said.
