Chapter 245 The strong wind rises

King Gumo heard this and said, "That's very good. Don't worry, Captain. Gumo will go all out to provide logistics supplies for this battle..."

Zhao Guanghan heard this and nodded, "Thank you, Your Highness!"

The next day, Zhao Guanghan led 2,000 Han troops and 1,000 Gumo troops left the city and marched westward!

At the same time, after learning that the Kangju people had occupied Shule, Wusun Kunmo immediately sent 15,000 cavalry southward.

However, Weng Guimi did not send a messenger to Wucheng.

The greed in his heart still suppressed his reason.

Unfortunately, what he didn't know was that under the cover of Ni Mi and others, 30,000 Huns cavalry were also secretly marching towards Chigu City.

…

King Kangju did not stay much after occupying Shule, and soon led his troops to attack the Shache Kingdom.

The city of Yingjisha at the junction of Shule and Yarkand soon fell.

However, it was not easy for the Kangju people to capture Yarkand at this time. They had to first occupy the Dingxi barrier of the Han army in power.

After investigating the situation of Dingxi Zhang, King Kang Ju felt a headache.

"Do you have any good ideas?" King Kangju asked.

"Your Majesty, this city is too dangerous for the Han army. If we want to capture this city, we may need tens of thousands of casualties!" a Dawan officer sighed.

At this time, King Yan, who was accompanying the army as a servant, said, "It is better to avoid this place!"

Kangju General Stohel said, "No, this is too risky. Once our army forces troops at the foot of Shache City, our supplies will be cut off by the Han army..."

At this time, the king of Amcai said, "The Han army relies only on a fortress and a strong city. Why not lure them out of the city?"

King Kangju shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it won't be easy!"

King Yancai said, "I heard that although the Shache people moved their capital to Shache City, their domestic nobles still attach great importance to their old capital Juqu City..."

King Kangju heard this and said, "King Amcai is indeed a wise man..."

After discussing with a group of cronies, King Kangju sent a large army to pretend to attack Juqu City, the old capital of Shache.

The other side sent General Kalmar to lead more than 10,000 troops across the mountains to prepare for a sneak attack on Yarkand City.

…

In the mountains in the northwest of Yarkand, an army was marching hard.

The guide who led the way for the Kangju people was a famous thief from the Shache Kingdom. No one knows his original name.

Outsiders generally call him the Red Robber, but he himself calls himself Ali.

It is said that he was sentenced to death for theft, escaped before execution, and later joined a team of thieves.

The original leader died unexpectedly while attacking the caravan, and he was elected as the new leader by the thieves.

This time the Kangju people invaded, he saw an opportunity, so he decisively led his people to surrender to the Kangju people.

At this time, the Kangju people happened to need a guide to bypass the Han army's fortress, so he volunteered to be a guide.

This Kangju cavalry is the elite of Kangju country.

Their commander was none other than Kangju General Kalmar, who was defeated by Shangguan Jie that year.

Kalmar is eight feet tall, which is rare even among the Han Chinese who are famous for their tall stature.

His body is as strong as an ox, and he is born with supernatural powers. It is said that no one in Kangju can be his enemy.

What is even more frightening is that Kalmar has a violent temper and a cruel nature.

Almost all enemies who fall into his hands, regardless of gender, will be brutally killed by him!

He once killed all the people of a small Cypriot tribe, used the poor people's heads to make wine vessels, and put them on display at home.

Kalmar has always been ashamed of being defeated by the Han army.

Since he became the commander of King Kangju's cavalry, he has been training his soldiers hard to avenge the shame of the past.

"Don't worry, general. We walked this road last year. We can get out of this mountainous area in at most two days, and then we can reach it in one day's walk south."

Ali was explaining respectfully to Commander Kalmar of Kangju.

Kalmar said, "I hope you won't lie to me, otherwise I will make you regret coming to this world!"

"Yes, yes...how dare I deceive you, general!"

After two days of marching, the army finally walked out of the mountains.

…

In a green patch of land to the west of Sanhe Fort, a team of Kangju cavalry is resting.

This cavalry was the vanguard of Kalmar's army.

At this time, they were less than thirty miles away from Sanhe Fort.

…

Since the news came that the Kangju people had invaded, Wu Zheng increased the number and frequency of daily patrols.

Wu Zheng has been feeling a little uneasy in the past few days, as if something is about to happen.

Seeing that Wu Zheng was restless, Su Fei couldn't help but said: "The pavilion chief has been restless these days, but are you worried about Kang Juren?"

Wu Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, I heard that King Shache has sent most of the domestic troops to Juqu, which makes people worried!"

Su Fei nodded and said, "Our Sanhe Fort is located in a strategic location... If the Kangju people attack Yarkand, they cannot avoid Sanhe Fort..."

Wu Zhengdao said, "That's exactly it!"

Su Fei also frowned, "It's really abnormal for the Kangju people not to attack Shache City, but to attack the barren place of Juqu, the old capital of Shache..."

Wu Zheng nodded and said, "I heard that Marquis Liu Jun has always been opposed to King Shache's actions. Unfortunately, he still failed to stop King Shache from transferring his troops to Juqu..."

Su Fei shook his head, "King Shache can't help himself!"

Wu Zheng glanced at Su Fei in surprise, then shook his head and looked towards the mountains to the west.

Su Fei also turned his attention to the mountainous area at this time, "Is Wu Jun worried that the Kangju people will take a detour to attack?"

Wu Zheng nodded and said, "That's right... Kangju people are not fools. How could they abandon Shacha and attack Juqu... Someone thought this was a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain..."

Su Fei thought for a moment and said, "Marquis Liu Jun must have expected this and sent me here..."

…

In the dark city, Zhang Yuezheng invited Han, Jiang, Gengshu and two people to discuss matters.

"Han Gong, Geng Gong, please sit down quickly!" Zhang Yue said with a smile.

Geng Shu and Han Jiang sat down and asked, "Is there something important for you and me to come here?"

Zhang Yue said, "Not bad!"

Then he asked again, "Mr. Han and Gong Geng, what do you think of the Xiongnu's behavior?"

Han Jiang thought to himself, "From what I see, the Huns must have another agenda!"

Geng Shu also asked at this time, "Your Majesty, is there any new situation here at Qianniu Guard?"

Zhang Yue looked at Geng Shu approvingly and said, "The Qianniu Guards have come to report that the Huns seem to be secretly dispatching troops in the direction of Wusun!"

Geng Shu frowned when he heard this, "Could it be that the Huns want to attack Wusun in a big way..."

Han Jiang also set his sights on the map at this time.

"The Han Dynasty and Wusun are allies. Aren't the Huns afraid of being cut off by me when they attack Chigu City?"

Zhang Yue heard this and said, "The Huns are naturally afraid. The Huns have not attacked Wusun for so many years. What they are worried about is that my big Han and Wusun will attack from a flank!"

Geng Shu nodded and said, "Do the Huns want to make a desperate move this time?"

After he finished speaking, he shook his head again, "This doesn't look like King Youxian's style, unless..."

Zhang Yue said at this time, "Unless they can be sure that our Han army will not intervene or be unable to intervene in the Wusun War!"

"How could the Huns be so confident?"

"unless……"

At this time, the three of them all looked at Kang Juguo on the map...

On the last day of this year, I wish you all a Happy New Year in advance! As well as book friends who vote, I hope you can vote for it. Thank you all!
