Chapter 1921 The complicated western war situation, the empire enters the scene
Since then, the Southern Barbarians have officially surrendered to the Jin army, and Nanzhong, the land of the Southern Barbarians, has been officially divided into three counties: Nanzhong County, Yunzhong County, and Man County.
Among them, Duan Siping and Mu Zeng served as governors of Nanzhong County and Man County respectively, and many other Nanman people were also appointed. These two places were even classified as barbarian autonomous regions.
Li Xiang gave Nanman more benefits and even made concessions in many places. The other party was so proactive and understanding that he originally planned to give them the governorship of two counties in total. Among the three counties of Nanman, only two
The position of one county guard in the county has now become the position of two county guards among the three counties of Nanman. They have all been given to them, for a total of three county guard positions, but there is only one issue, and that is the issue of military power.
Barbarians can serve as officials just like Jin people, but they cannot form barbarian armies and cannot form armies privately.
On the land owned by the Jin army, only the imperial court was qualified to form an army, and everyone else was not qualified to form an army, whether it was the Jin army or the barbarian army.
Barbarians could join the army and serve as generals, but they had to be within the Jin army's own system, and they could not be said to have created a small military system of their own.
Nowadays, the power of the Nanman is at its weakest, and it is the time when they are least allowed to resist. At this time, the rules must be established, and then they can be maintained in a logical manner.
At the same time, it is only at this time that the resistance faced by setting down the rules is the least. If it takes a few years for the Nanman to regain a certain strength, then if you want to set up the rules again, you will not be able to
It's so easy today. If you want to set the rules, you have to rely on your fists.
At the same time, Li Xiang ordered Wu Qi, the governor of Nanzhou, to familiarize himself with the bad environment in the south as soon as possible. It was not to let Wu Qi become familiar with the environment here, but to let his troops become familiar with the environment in the south.
Although Wu Qi's soldiers and horses included captured prisoners as a considerable part of them, the original old Jin army was also a very important part.
Precisely because he knew very little about the situation there, Yuan Meng happily changed his direction after discovering how useless the enemies were during the process of cherishing the situation.
The 36 countries in the Western Regions that people know are all small countries, but if the 36 countries in the Western Regions go further west, those big countries have a population of hundreds of thousands and a military strength of 100,000 or even more than 100,000 at their peak.
Whether it's the Han Dynasty or the grasslands, not much attention is paid to the situation in the Western Regions, let alone the situation in South Asia.
Most of the Jin armies came from the north. When they conquered the southern lands, they would inevitably encounter various problems and even diseases due to unsuitable conditions and other reasons.
For Su Dingfang, Kangju and other countries gradually moved from being uncooperative to being cooperative, and even began to be obedient. Naturally, this battle became easier to fight.
They no longer focused on following the Jin army in a head-to-head confrontation, even letting them go on the grasslands, but concentrated on conquering the countries in the Western Regions, Central Asia and even West Asia.
Precisely because they were beaten badly enough, these big powers in the Western Region were wary of the Soviet Union at the beginning. Later they started to cooperate, and now they are begging for help.
Even if Yizhou is indeed not suitable for intelligence transmission, it will take longer than other places. However, the situation in the west is too serious. In order to convey the news as soon as possible, the generals on the front line did not know how to run along the way.
Many war horses died, and even some scouts fell on the way.
Yuanmeng did not take these territories for a long time, and they also faced conflicts in various aspects such as culture, so the foundation of their rule was not solid. Under Huo Qubing's efforts, rebellions of varying sizes continued to make Kubi
Lie had a headache.
In fact, Su Dingfang alone attracted most of Yuan Meng's strong generals, and there were only a few generals who actually followed Kublai Khan in his expedition to the west.
But after a long period of victory, today's Yuanmeng finally faced a Waterloo.
Therefore, one can imagine the national strength of those big countries in the Western Regions, and annexing them can enhance their power a lot.
At this time, the first thing Li Xiang received was not the situation in the Central Plains, but the battle situation in the west that had accelerated six hundred miles away and passed through many difficulties to reach Li Xiang.
Taking advantage of the southern barbarians, the Jin soldiers and horses spent two or three years getting familiar with the environment here. Only then would Wu Qi have the real confidence to conquer Jiaozhou in the south.
On the one hand, with the demise of Wusun, Dayuan and other countries, Kangju at this time had also lost a large number of men and horses, as well as more than half of its territory, and was not far away from complete destruction.
In a great defeat, 5,000 Yuan of the Mongolian troops and 30,000 of the servant army formed after destroying several Western Region countries represented by Wusun were all lost in this great defeat.
The subsequent big countries in the Western Region were not much stronger than Wusun. Therefore, Yuan Meng's campaign to conquer the West was progressing smoothly. The biggest trouble was Su Dingfang, who had only tens of thousands of troops at the beginning.
The long-term victory made Yuanmeng look down on these losers in the Western Regions more and more.
The situation in the Southern Barbarians is, after all, moving towards a good situation.
After this time, even if it were replaced by other people, replaced by generals from any force, how could they think highly of these countries in the Western Region? To win the respect of the enemy, it really requires strength. But, this thing,
They didn't.
Judging from this, the Yuan Region's war against the Western Region has begun to come to an end, and the next step is probably to develop west of Kangju.
Kublai Khan sent troops to expel or even destroy Huo Qubing's men, but Huo Qubing moved like the wind. The Western Regions are different from the Central Plains. With the population density and population distribution of the Central Plains, it is more difficult to hide than in the Western Regions.
many.
Even these god-level commanders are only humans, not gods. They cannot be omniscient and omnipotent, and any problem can be solved by them.
It happened that those big countries in the Western Region, although they were big, were weak in strength. Wusun, who was first targeted, was killed by the two vanguard armies of Zhebie and Subotai. At this time, Wusun's original king and
The grass on the graves of the resistance faction has grown so high.
The next step was for Huo Qubing to ride lightly into Wusun, Dawan and other territories that had been taken over by Yuan Meng.
Otherwise, the army had just set off, but most of the soldiers under his command had fallen due to unfamiliar factors, and even Wu Qi would not have been able to fight this battle.
To put it bluntly, any well-known general among Yuan Meng dared to fight with 10,000 people against 50,000 opponents, but they were basically able to win.
As a result, Yuan Meng was defeated. There were many reasons for this.
Therefore, Yuanmeng's soldiers and horses could not capture Huo Qubing's main force at all, and could only follow Huo Qubing's butt and keep eating dirt.
Huo Qubing's participation in the battle seriously affected Yuanmeng's rear and logistics, and had a considerable impact on the Yuanmeng army on the front line.
Another reason for Yuan Meng's defeat was the addition of an imperial force.
It was precisely the addition of this imperial force that allowed the frontline generals, represented by Su Dingfang, to convey the news back as quickly as possible at all costs.
