Chapter 343 Kushan Ambition

During these times, Guishang City, one of the five tribes of the Sun and Yuezhi, has been fighting hard.

"Jihou, are we really going to send troops to the Second Division City?"

In the bathing city, Makaruso, the general of the Kushan tribe of the Great Yuezhi, asked Qiujiu, the Marquis of Guishan, with a puzzled face.

Qiu Jiuque asked while drinking wine and eating meat.

"What does Makalusor think of me as a Kushan?"

Macaluso patted his head and said, "Xihou, I think that my biggest enemy in Guishuang right now is the four major Xihou..."

The four major Xihous mentioned by Macaluso are the Xiumi, Shuangmi, and Ju tribes among the five major tribes established by the Yuezhi who migrated westward after occupying the northern region of Bactria (Kingdom of Bactria) (now Afghanistan).

Dun, attach these four parts.

When the five tribes of Dayue clan were established, their strength was not very different.

However, after more than 40 years of development, the strength of the Kushan tribe has been far superior to the other four tribes.

Especially after Qiujiu came to power, the Kushan tribe expanded rapidly. Not only did they defeat the Jibin Kingdom, but they also continued to expand south across the Hindu Kush Mountains and occupied a large area of ​​southern Daxia Kingdom.

Although the Kushan tribe has not yet officially established a country at this time, its strength has far exceeded that of the other four tribes of the Great Yuezhi.

The population under its control has exceeded one million, and the number of soldiers it can fight is no less than 100,000.

Qiu Jiu had already been eyeing the four tribes and wanted to annex the four tribes to establish a powerful Kushan Kingdom.

Qiu Jiu heard this and asked, "If the Han army takes Yucheng and goes south, what will happen to me in Guishang?"

"The Han army goes south!"

Macaluso didn't know how to answer for a moment.

In his mind, the Han Dynasty was always thousands of miles away, so he never considered that one day he would face the Han army.

After thinking for a long time, Macaluso said, "The Han army should not go south. The area in the river is the real fat!"

Qiu Jiu said, "Nothing is impossible. Do you know what the Han army has done recently?"

Makaluso said, "I heard that the Great Protector of the Western Regions strongly supports the Dawan Kingdom to annex the Northern Daxia states!"

Qiu Jiu said, "It seems you are not too stupid!"

At this point, Qiujiu stopped, looked around and said, "Do you still remember why our Yuezhi came to this barbaric place?"

When everyone heard this, they all stopped what they were doing and fell silent.

"Come Solange, you have always been known as a wise man, please tell me!"

Qiu Jiu saw that no one said anything, so he just called them by name.

After being called, Solange stood up and said, "I, the Yuezhi, originally lived in the land west of Hexi."

"Later they were defeated by the Huns... and had to move to the land of seven rivers!"

"The Huns are still unwilling to let us go, and ordered their hawks and dogs, the Wusun people, to march westward... We, the Yueshi, are defeated and have to continue to move south...

After a hard battle, I, the Yueshi, finally destroyed the Beidaxia Kingdom and occupied this place. In the blink of an eye, almost fifty years have passed!"

Qiu Jiu nodded when he heard this and said, "In the past, we were driven here by the Huns' eagles and dogs."

"Looking at the behavior of the big man now, it is exactly the same as the Huns back then. That Dawan Chanfeng is the Jun Xumi fifty years ago!"

"If we let that Cicada seal grow bigger, I, the Yuezhi, may make the same mistakes as we did in the Land of Seven Rivers..."

When Macaluso heard this, he was still full of doubts.

But when Solange came here, he showed an expression of sudden realization.

"Is Marquis Xi planning to launch a strategy to spread his influence to the east and attack the west?"

Qiu Jiu looked at Solange with satisfaction. Yes, our real goal this time is...

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, nine thousand Han troops and Yi Cong gathered in the school field, waiting for Zhang Yue's order.

"Today there are barbarians called Yu Cheng, who are attacking the Han people and killing our officials. Today we have recruited two or three sons to gather here to fight against the disobedient..."

"I have already said that...anyone from the six barbarians inside and outside who dares to attack our great Han Dynasty will destroy their country, their species, and their descendants...Do you dare to fight!"

"Fight...fight...fight..."

Looking at the army with high morale, Zhang Yue fiercely pulled out the sword on his waist and pointed the long sword diagonally.

"Everyone, please fight with me to let the barbarians know the power of the Han army!"

"The great man is mighty!"

"Set off!"

Zhang Yue gave an order, and the army turned around and headed northwest.

Three days later, the Han army, led by Zhang Yue, arrived at Yucheng City.

Facing the incoming Han army, King Yu Cheng did not dare to fight in the field with the Han army.

He just ordered Yu Cheng's army to hold on to the city and wait for reinforcements from the Marquis of Guishan and the Governor of Anxi Susia.

The Han army tentatively attacked three times, but King Yu Cheng huddled in the city. Even if the Han army was deliberately defeated, King Yu Cheng was forced not to attack.

"Your Majesty, that old boy, King Yu Cheng, has always been hiding in the city and not showing up!"

Su Fei spoke with annoyance on his face.

No wonder he behaved like this, he and Wu Zheng's subordinate Yi Cong were the ones responsible for the feint attacks these few times.

Although it was a feint attack, there were many casualties, especially Su Fei. Although only a dozen of his soldiers were killed, there were many injured, nearly forty.

Wu Zheng also said at this time, "Your Majesty, why don't you send out the siege camp and use stone cannons to smash the turtle shell!"

Zhang Yue laughed when he heard this, "Why can't you calm down like this?"

Wu Zheng smiled sheepishly upon hearing this, "Do you have other plans, Lord?"

Zhang Yue did not speak, but looked at Yang You.

Yang You took a step forward and said, "It is said that the Yuezhi Guishuang Jihou wants to attack Ershi City!"

Su Fei and others were shocked when they heard this.

"Is this happening?"

Su Fei asked in surprise, "Since the Lord is like this, why don't you order Magong to return to the army?"

Zhang Yue shook his head and said, "Liu Yi has almost arrived at the Second Division with two thousand soldiers and horses!"

Su Fei breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, "With Liu Hou here, the two masters will be fine!"

After some thought, Wu Zheng said, "From the perspective of the king and the officials below, this Guishang Jihou is probably trying to make a splash in the east and attack the west!"

Zhang Yue looked at Wu Zheng with satisfaction, "You don't have any objections, but it doesn't matter!"

Wu Zheng took a deep breath and said, "This Marquis of Guishuang wants to unify the five tribes... I'm afraid this is a good time for him to take action..."

…

Wu Zheng's guess was correct, but Guishan Xihou Qiujiu led his army to Shuangmi City under the pretext of aiding King Yu Cheng.

When Shuangmi Xihou relaxed his vigilance, he suddenly attacked Shuangmi at dawn. In just half a day, the Kushan army completely controlled Shuangmi City.

In order to survive, Marquis Shuangmixi was forced to agree to surrender his army and people and merge with the Kushan tribe.

After Qiu Jiu annexed the Shuangmi tribe, his strength greatly increased, and he soon sent troops to attack the Gudun tribe.

Facing the sudden attack of the Kuishang army, Hou Dunxi was defeated miserably and was forced to retreat into Bo Mao City.

After Qiu Jiu took a short rest, he immediately launched a fierce attack on Bo Mao City.

When the Han army was besieging Yucheng, Qiu Jiu was also besieging Bo Mao City.

"Warriors attack!"

In order to capture Bo Mao City as soon as possible, Qiu Jiu forced the Sai people near Bo Mao City to join the army and launched a brutal antfu siege.
