Chapter 423: Marching Westward and Marching South

King Youxian saw that the three kings who had spoken were holding their own opinions, so he turned to Li Ling and asked: "How should King Youxiao think that I am forcing Hu Dang to deal with this matter?"

Li Ling slowly finished the glass of wine and said unhurriedly:

"This is a good opportunity for me to move westward!"

After hearing this, King Youxian suddenly realized that the right army could just take advantage of the Han army's surprise attack, break away from Shan Yuting, and move to the west.

Li Ling's words shocked everyone in the tent.

Although all tribes were interested in continuing to move westward, no one dared to express it in public.

Now Li Ling's words have pierced the window paper.

The kings immediately started talking, and almost everyone was talking about the benefits of moving westward.

Wujiutu and Nimi, who were sitting in the corner, looked at each other with joy in their eyes.

The large-scale westward movement of the right side of the Xiongnu was an excellent opportunity for Xiao Wusun to break away from the control of the Xiongnu.

Faced with the discussions of the kings, King Youxian did not respond in a hurry, but just smiled and drank and ate meat with the people on his left and right.

After about a quarter of an hour, the chatter in the tent finally subsided a lot.

At this time, King Youxian stood up and said, "What do you think, King Youxian, of King Youxian said?"

This time it was King Subu who spoke first. Among the kings on the right, King Subu was the most active in moving westward.

In fact, the Xubu tribe had now crossed the large mountain (Ural Mountain) called Stone Mountain by the Huns.

"Your Majesty, what the Right School King said is true. Moving west is my future for Qiang Hu!"

"What the Great King Xubu said is true. If the Great King Tianyu does not take it, he will be punished. He should march westward..."

King Youxian drank the wine in one gulp and finally gave the order.

"The kings gathered their troops... marched westward in the seventh month..."

…

When Zhang Yue led his troops out of Luntai, the Han army in Anxi Town had also been mobilized.

As the deputy envoy of Anxi Jiedu, Liu Yi led 5,000 Han troops as the vanguard and first marched towards Xiuxun State.

In May of the second year of Yuanfeng, Zhang Yue's army joined forces with Zhao Guanghan's troops, Yarkand and Khotan.

On the third day of the fifth lunar month, 50,000 Han troops formally sent out troops to attack the Gubin Kingdom after swearing an oath in Shache.

…

When Liu Yi led his troops to Xiuxun, more than 10,000 troops from the Gubin Kingdom and the Western Tianzhu states were besieging Xiuxun.

Liu Yijun repaired all night and launched an attack on the Western Tianzhu coalition at dawn on the second day.

Although the Western Tianzhu coalition forces were well prepared, they were still defeated in the battle with the Han army.

The coalition forces retreated twenty miles south of King Xiuxun's city to confront the Han army.

"Your Majesty, the equipment of this Western Tianzhu coalition is quite sophisticated!"

Yuchijia, the forward deputy general, came to Liu Yi with captured enemy weapons in his hands.

Liu Yi looked at the weapons Yuchijia brought and sighed:

"This is to be expected, this Western Tianzhu was originally a place of developed civilization... the history of using iron tools is longer than that of the Han Dynasty!"

"If it hadn't been conquered by the barbarians, I'm afraid this poison would be no worse than that of the Han Dynasty!"

Yuchijia heard this and sighed: "Although the country is big and forgets to fight, it will be in danger!"

Liu Yi patted Yuchijia on the shoulder and said: "The people of Darabid are a lesson to my great man!"

Yuchijia had a complicated look on his face when he heard this. It seems that the Shache Kingdom and the Western Tianzhu people who destroyed the ancient Indian civilization can be considered to have the same origin.

Liu Yi looked at Yuchi Jia and suddenly understood what he was thinking.

He patted Yuchi Jia on the shoulder and said: "When all the barbarians move into Xia, they become Xia, and when all the Xia move into Yi, they become barbarians..."

"Civilization and barbarism have never been related to blood... Nowadays, Shache practices Han rites and speaks Chinese... has become a Zhuxia..."

"This war seems to be a battle between two armies, but in fact it is a confrontation between civilization and barbarism..."

"The prince wants to restore the country to the Dharabitha people, and he also wants to make the light of civilization shine again in Western Tianzhu and even the entire land of Shendu!"

"Yarkand now represents Zhuxia...civilization...while the Aryans are a symbol of barbarism...You are willing to fight for civilization!"

Yuchijia heard this and said without hesitation: "I am willing to fight for civilization!"

After saying these words, Yuchijia looked at the Western Tianzhu Allied Army Camp in the distance, and infinite pride arose in his heart.

"Liu Hou, I understand!"

"We, Yarkand, are a civilized country, and we will definitely follow the Han to defeat the barbarians...let the light of civilization return to the land of Western Tianzhu!"

Liu Yi nodded with satisfaction, "General Yuchi, hurry up and take a rest. There will be another fierce battle tomorrow!"

Upon hearing this, Yuchijia bowed to Liu Yi, then turned and left.

At this time, King Xiuxun also led a group of soldiers outside the Han army camp.

Although the Xiuxun Kingdom was small, it was still a country recognized by the Han Dynasty, so Liu Yi still received King Xiuxun in person.

As soon as King Xiuxun came up, he gave Liu Yi a big gift.

Then there was another word of thanks, which was nothing more than saying that Xun Xun will always be the concubine of the Han Dynasty and willing to be the lackey of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Yi has long been immune to these words. He has long understood that these people are fearful of power and unethical.

Only if you are strong will they listen to you. When a strong man is weak, these are the first people to betray him.

When the Dharubida people adopted Aryans, the Aryans probably had more good things to say.

But when the Aryans became stronger, it was the Aryans who were the most cruel to the Dharabids.

Liu Yi looked at the humble King Xiu Xun in front of him, reminding himself in his heart while smiling to receive King Xiu Xun and others.

"How many more warriors can Xiuxun provide that can fight?"

"So that the nobles of the kingdom will know that King Xiuxun still has 700 warriors available to fight!"

After King Xiuxun answered Liu Yi's questions, he warmly invited Liu Yi to rest in the capital of Xiuxun King.

After some thought, Liu Yi agreed to King Xiuxun's invitation.

Then he led a group of Han troops and his personal guards to follow King Xiuxun to the capital of Xiuxun.

The so-called Xiuxun King's Capital is actually just a valley. The name is pretty good, it's called Bird Flying Valley.

The terrain of this valley is quite dangerous, and it is precisely because of the dangerous terrain that the Xiuxun people were able to support themselves until the Han army arrived.

Entering the valley, Liu Yi understood why this place was called Bird Flying Valley.

The temperature in the valley is obviously higher than outside the valley, and the scenery is also very good, including the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers.

Along the way, Liu Yi discovered that this valley was a treasure among the mountains.

The area of ​​Bird Flying Valley is not large, but it is not too small either. It can accommodate several thousand people.

Under the leadership of King Xiu Xun, the group quickly arrived at the middle of the valley.

There are several simple stone houses here, which must be the palace of King Xiuxun.

Surrounding the palace are tents. From the looks of it, they should be the residences of ordinary citizens of Xiusun.

Under the leadership of King Xiuxun, Liu Yi entered the palace with more than ten guards. The rest of the Han army was placed outside the palace.

King Xiuxun waited for Liu Yi to sit down and immediately had food delivered to him.

The food was very basic, just a plate of meat on a wooden plate and a bowl of cloudy wine.

King Xiu Xun seemed to know that the food was too simple, so he kept apologizing to Liu Yi.

Liu Yi smiled and waved his hand and said: "King Xiu Xun is so polite. This time I am visiting as a guest..."
