Li Ling takes action

The large-scale invasion of the northern steppe cavalry was completely unexpected by the Parthians.

It is spring at this time, and under normal circumstances, this is the time for the grassland people to recuperate and recuperate.

For decades, the barbarians from the north have never gone south in the spring.

This also made Governor Nissa and others relax their vigilance towards the north.

Therefore, the sudden southward movement of the coalition forces caught the Parthians by surprise.

Before the Governor of Xianisa could react, the border fortresses were breached.

In just seven days, 20,000 coalition cavalry had already arrived at the gates of Nissa.

At this time, there were still nearly 7,000 troops in the city of Nissa, so although they were killed by the coalition forces, the Parthians did not panic.

According to past experience, the prairie barbarians do not have much ability in siege warfare.

There are 7,000 defenders, and without ten times the strength, it is impossible for the grassland barbarians to attack the city of Nissa.

Therefore, facing the coalition forces besieging the city, Governor Nyssa just sent letters to Ctesiphon step by step, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements.

At this time, Governor Nisar had the mentality of not seeking merit, but seeking no fault, and waited for reinforcements to arrive before expelling the grassland barbarians outside the city.

Although he had long known that the northern region had been occupied by the Huns from the east.

But in the eyes of the Governor of Nissa and even the entire Parthian Empire, both the Huns and the Wusun were no different from the original northern barbarians.

Only the Governor of Sucia immediately ordered increased vigilance after learning that the Huns were heading south.

He immediately sent a letter to the Governor of Nyssa and Gotharzes I to remind them of the differences between the Huns and previous barbarians.

However, neither of them took it to heart. Gotharzes I was now more concerned about the war with Rome.

Governor Nissa made his judgment based on his own experience.

It was precisely because of Governor Nisa's carelessness that Li Ling and others were given a huge opportunity!

After Li Ling and others arrived at the city of Nissa, they did not attack the city immediately. Instead, they used the Wuchao tribe to besiege the city.

Even if the siege could be captured at this time, the casualties would be heavy, and what the coalition forces were most lacking now was manpower.

The ministries need to win, but they must keep casualties within a certain range.

"All tribes will gather at the gate of Nissa in ten days..."

Under Li Ling's order, various armies plundered various lands.

After receiving the order, each ministry divided its troops into units of a thousand cavalry and carried out large-scale plunder.

Now the situation around Nisa is in dire straits.

There is no way any place can withstand the raids of the coalition forces.

Villages and towns were captured one after another by the coalition cavalry.

The old and the weak were all killed, and the young and strong men, women, and children were taken into separate custody.

All the belongings that could be taken away were taken away, and those that could not be taken away were burned to pieces.

The governor of Sucia was the only governor in Parthia who sent reinforcements to Nyssa.

Unfortunately, the Governor of Susia had just experienced a disastrous defeat in the battle with the Dawan people. Although he was determined, he was powerless. The three thousand Susia troops encountered a thousand cavalry team led by Ni Mi himself in the wild.

Ni Mi did not panic after encountering Sucia's army.

He gave full play to the advantage of cavalry's battlefield mobility and used cavalry archery to continuously launch short and rapid attacks on the Susiya army.

After seven consecutive waves of attacks, the Susiya Army collapsed.

Then came the hunting time, Ni Mi fought all the way to the Sucia Governorate before stopping.

After this battle, it is unlikely that Nisa City will receive outside reinforcements in a short period of time.

"Let's go back to Nissa!"

The victorious Ni Mi swept away the haze after the Battle of Chigu, and his energy and spirit returned again.

Ten days later, according to Li Ling's order, the tribes returned to the city of Nissa with a large number of people and goods.

After receiving intelligence from various places, Governor Nissa gradually felt something was wrong.

During this period, he also took the initiative to attack once, hoping to break Wujiutu's siege.

Unfortunately, facing the joint attack of the Huns' archers and cavalry, the Parthians gained nothing but corpses on the ground.

After this battle, Governor Nyssa no longer dared to send troops out of the city.

The Governor of Nissa, who finally realized that Nissa was in a bad situation, finally panicked.

While hurriedly strengthening the defense of Nisa City, they also hurriedly asked for help from the surrounding governors.

However, it was too late at this time. It would take considerable time for the governors to just assemble their troops.

…

At the foot of Nissa City, Ni Mi looked at the nearby Nisa City with high spirits and asked Li Ling.

"King of the right school, how to fight this battle?"

Li Ling smiled and asked, "Kunmo still remembers how the Han army attacked Qiuci for the first time?"

Ni Mi looked at the grouped Anxi young men behind him.

"Does the King of the Right School want to imitate the Marquis of Yunyang and sign an army to attack the city?"

Li Ling looked forward and said, "Yes, the soldiers of a certain three tribes cannot afford to die... signing an army is the best choice!"

Wujiitu heard the words and said, "Young Colonel Wang Gaoming, this can firstly weaken the enemy's morale, secondly, it can reduce the casualties of our army... and thirdly, it can make the enemy's army fearful..."

Ni Mi also gave Li Ling a thumbs up, "Of all the kings of the Xiongnu, no one can be better than the King of Youxiao!"

Unexpectedly, Li Ling sighed when he heard this, "Kun Mo is joking, Ling is a Han...King Jiankun!"

Ni Mi was stunned when he heard this, while Wu Jiutu on the side showed a thoughtful expression.

He guessed in his heart that Li Ling might have wanted to stand on his own from the Huns.

At this time, he couldn't help but think of the mysterious Kangju people he had seen in Jiankun tribe a few days ago.

Also, the joining of Amcai people this time is not normal.

"Is what Li Ling said true? He really has the understanding and support of the Han army!"

Although Wujiutu didn't believe it in his heart, he had to think about it.

"Should I also take the initiative to contact Qian Niuwei again!"

…

These days in Chang'an City are calm on the surface, but secretly there is a turbulent undercurrent.

Around the emperor's wedding, all forces are using all their means.

For a moment, everyone's attention was diverted away from the library.

Du Ling keenly seized this opportunity and sent six memorials to the general Huo Guang and the emperor one after another.

With the support of Huo Guang and the emperor, the library finally gained the authority to open official schools.

After Du Ling received the emperor's authorization, he immediately took action. Before the Confucian schools could react, Du Ling's official school had officially begun teaching.

The first batch of students in the library official school except for the poor scholars from Chang'an and Yunyang.

Some scholars in Taixue who did not belong to Guliang, Shijing, and Zuozhuan schools also joined Du Ling's official school.

Nowadays, Du Ling's official education is naturally far inferior to that of Taixue, but its development momentum is very strong.

If this continues, it will be entirely possible to compete with Taixue.

Naturally, the doctors of Taixue would not just sit idly by.

However, the forces behind it are now more concerned about the emperor's wedding, and their support for the doctors is naturally much smaller.

As for Guandong literature, it is far away from Chang'an and beyond reach.

Du Ling's official school was thus established in a grand manner.

In the hands of various academic elites, a gap was created for the poor scholars.
