The one thousand and ninety-ninth section of the military minister returns to the division
Chang'an City is celebrating.
Across the Western Regions, across the green ridges, and in the distant Central Asia, smoke is billowing and corpses are strewn across the fields.
The former Pearl of Central Asia, the "Alexandria in the Far East" built by Alexander the Great has fallen into hell.
The Huns cavalry brutally killed all the men they could see and **** the women.
And inside and outside the city, Greek warriors, Yuezhi cavalry and Kangju cavalry were lying dead everywhere.
Surrounded by tens of thousands of Huns cavalry, the military officials entered this once glorious city.
Dozens of surrendered Greek nobles knelt in front of the military ministers and let the military ministers step on their bodies as they walked into the city hall where Alexander the Great and King Victory had once stopped.
On the walls on both sides of the city hall, there is a relief sculpture of a story from Greek mythology and legend.
The military officials looked at these reliefs and laughed.
The nobles on the left and right were also very proud.
Boxes of gold were moved in front of the military ministers, and the lids of the boxes were opened one by one. The yellow-orange light suddenly made countless people burst into joy.
But the military officials have long been used to it.
After crossing Congling, the Huns cavalry entered the vast and fertile Central Asia.
At this time, Central Asia was very wealthy.
Greek civilization, Indian civilization, Cypriot civilization and Parthian civilization are intertwined, blended and smelted here to create a glorious world.
When the Huns came here, they were like a tiger entering a sheepfold, as if they were a fish in water.
All the local armies and forces were simply too weak for the Huns!
Decades of wars and attacks between the Han and Huns had long ago made the Huns' cavalry's skills, tactics, and tactical qualities surpass those of the residents of Central Asia.
Even if they join forces, the 50,000-strong coalition of Cypriots, Yuezhi people, Greeks and Kangju people will also encounter an avalanche under the city that was once called the "Alexander City in the Far East".
s failure.
The legions of the Greeks, the cavalry of the Yuezhi people, and the archers of the Kangju and Sai people were all smashed to pieces by the Huns' cavalry.
The Hun cavalry, equipped with saddles, stirrups and sabers, slaughtered these weak opponents as easily as slaughtering livestock.
"This city will be renamed 'Juzhanti' from now on..." the military minister said proudly.
After the Xiongnu cavalry captured the city, they were not far from the royal court of the Yuezhi people.
In three months at most, before summer, the Huns cavalry can push their troops to the Yuezhi people's current nest.
In the eyes of the military officials, these rats were about to die!
When the Yueshi were destroyed, the military ministers decided to write a letter of credence to the Han emperor to boast about the invincibility of himself and his cavalry.
A warning to this restless son-in-law to behave himself!
Thinking of this, the military officer turned his eager eyes to a Greek nobleman kneeling in front of him, stepped on his head and asked: "Find all the craftsmen and scholars in this city for this Chanyu!"
For military officials, conquering Congling is not about how much gold they plundered, nor how much food and people they robbed.
But it depends on how many craftsmen and scholars we get.
These people are the most precious wealth!
Craftsmen can make weapons for the Hun Empire to continue conquest and plunder.
Scholars, on the other hand, can serve as his think tank or educate the descendants of the Xiongnu nobles.
As for other things, the military officials really don’t care now!
He pointed to the gold and said to his subordinates: "My loyal slaves, these golds, now, I, the great Ploughbearer Gutu, born of the sun and moon, the Chanyu blessed by heaven and earth, give them to you.
and the brave warriors under your command!”
"Long live the plow Gutu!" More than a dozen nobles immediately shouted fanatically.
Everyone felt that it was so right to follow Shan Yu in the Western Expedition this time!
Although the army and people here are much more difficult to deal with than those in the Western Regions.
But compared with the people of the Han Dynasty, they were simply weak!
Here, the Huns finally regained their sense of invincibility.
Ten thousand cavalry are enough to chase down the tens of thousands of local troops.
Armed with stirrups, saddles and sabers, the elite of the headquarters were even more unscrupulous in playing tricks on those poor guys.
Especially in the last battle, Yuezhi, Daxia, and Kangju, the enemies of the Huns, formed a coalition.
Some ridiculous guys actually imitated the people of the Han Dynasty, holding up giant shields and spears to form a square formation.
The cavalry of Yuezhi and Kangju protected the two wings.
They are indeed brave and fearless.
However, all their efforts and struggles were in vain in front of the Huns cavalry who had absorbed enough nutrients and experience from the Han-Hungarian war.
Especially when Shan Yu's royal cavalry began to charge, both the Yuezhi and Kangju people fled.
Then, the infantrymen holding huge shields immediately fell apart.
The Huns cavalry hardly suffered any major losses and scattered them into flight.
Then, the officials and nobles of the city immediately surrendered and knelt down to welcome the Huns' army.
They sent gold, beauties and various treasures to the Huns, and even dedicated all the residents of this city to the Huns, just to survive!
The victory made the Huns army, top and bottom, very happy.
During this Western Expedition, the Huns fought all the way from Congling to here, defeating more than 100,000 enemies along the way, destroying and occupying seven cities, more than a dozen Uburgs, and hundreds of rural towns and tribes, large and small.
Hundreds of thousands of people were plundered, including more than 7,000 craftsmen and dozens of scholars.
It can be said to be a great harvest!
If they weren't thinking about their hometown, the Huns cavalry would really want to fight all the way to the end of the world, spreading boundless fear and destruction to the end of the world!
"Sure enough, the Western Expedition was right..." The Xiongnu nobles looked at the yellow and orange gold, and then thought about the delicate beauties in their tents.
My heart is extremely hot.
The gains gained during this western expedition were several times greater than those achieved during the past invasion of the Han Dynasty from the south.
It’s not that the Han Dynasty is not rich, but that the people of the Han Dynasty are too difficult to deal with!
Now they have become so fierce that even Zhelan was defeated by them!
Naturally, no one thought about invading the south anymore.
It’s still fun to conquer the West!
Women, wealth, treasures, food, wine, the Huns can take whatever they want!
But the military minister looked at his nobleman, then kicked away the servile Greek nobleman, and said to him: "Go and tell your master that if you want to redeem this city, you must take three thousand craftsmen and five hundred thousand coins."
I’ll redeem it with gold coins! Otherwise, I’ll burn it with fire!”
"Go away!" the military officer said to him.
For the Huns, they can only attack here this year.
Not only because they were worried about their home base, but also because the soldiers and tribes who went on the expedition were already satisfied.
Hundreds of thousands of people and countless wealth must be transported home before they can rest assured.
What's more important is that the military officials themselves can't wait to go back.
He urgently needed to tell the entire grassland and the Han Dynasty about this great victory.
In this way, we can deter and frighten the dissidents in the grassland, as well as the terrible Han Dynasty!
The best thing is to scare the Han Dynasty people from leaving the fortress!
"Da Chanyu, do you really want to return this city to those despicable Daxia people?" a noble asked with some confusion.
In the eyes of the Huns, this city was already comparable to some large cities on the border of the Han Dynasty.
Moreover, this city is very strong. If it weren't for those timid nobles, the Huns probably wouldn't be able to capture it for a while.
After hearing this, the military minister sneered and said: "Of course I have to return it to others..." He paused and said with a smile: "This way next time, I can come and harvest again!"
As soon as these words came out, all the nobles burst into laughter.
Compared to the Kangju and Yuezhi people, and the soldiers who died in the battle outside the city.
The nobles of this country called Daxia are simply crabs with soft legs!
The Huns only threatened them a little, and they walked out of the city and surrendered.
The people and wealth of this city were handed over to the Huns.
Even the Huns were almost frightened and thought the other party was deceiving.
As a result, the people directly opened the city gate, took their families, wives and children, knelt in front of the Huns, and begged the Huns to enter the city.
It’s so weak that it’s unimaginable!
This also made the Huns understand why the defeated soldiers of the Yuezhi people could live so comfortably here.
It also made the Huns believe in the legend of body poison passed down from the Han Dynasty.
Think about it, the Daxia people are so weak, the Yuezhi people and the Kangju people are also vulnerable.
So, how strong can Shen Du, who was enslaved and conquered by Daxia and Yuezhi, be?
When the time comes, maybe the Xiongnu soldiers can really conquer a country with one cavalry, and break through the myth of a hundred thousand with a hundred cavalry!
The Xiongnu people were happy.
Suddenly, a nobleman who was originally placed in the rear to provide protection for the Huns' cavalry hurried into the city hall, knelt down in tears, and said: "It's bad, the Great Chanyu, the Han Dynasty people have left the fortress!"
"What?" The military minister's expression changed drastically and he couldn't believe it at all.
You know, it’s winter on the Han-Hungarian border now!
How dare people of the Han Dynasty go out to the fortress in winter?
They look down on people too much!
"Great Chanyu, I have just received the urgent report from General Zuo!" The nobleman cried and said: "The Han Dynasty army was divided into three groups. The main force was led by its divine cavalry as the vanguard. They drove straight in and captured Ziling.
…”
"What!" The military officer took a deep breath: "Do the Ruolu people live on dry food?"
Ziling is a natural place!
Based on the danger, it would take the Han Dynasty at least half a month to eliminate the Ruolu people in Ziling, right?
As soon as Ziling was lost, Gaoque opened its doors. Except for Honghu Fortress, in front of Gaoque, the people of the Han Dynasty were in a state of peace!
"General Zuo said that he has personally commanded the Huyan, Xubu and Lan clans, as well as thousands of horses from various tribes, to block a Han Dynasty partial army and try to annihilate or severely damage it..." The noble kowtowed and said: "But
, the main force of the Han Dynasty is approaching fiercely, General Zuo asks Shan Yu to return to the army immediately and take charge of the overall situation!"
The military minister took a deep breath, nodded, and said: "This Shanyu will return to the army on his own!"
He understands, what does Huyan Dangtu mean?
It was not that he was asked to go back and preside over the resistance against the Han Dynasty. In fact, by the time he returned, the war might have been over.
Nine times out of ten, the Huns will suffer heavy losses and may even lose Gaoque!
Once Gaoque is lost, Yinshan cannot be saved.
The Huns could only retreat a few hundred miles and set up defenses in the Hexi Corridor.
And once Yinshan is lost, his position as Shanyu will immediately be in jeopardy.
Only the Huns know what Yinshan and Henan mean to them?
This is their ancestral home and birthplace, as well as the foundation of the tribe.
Without these, Shanyu will definitely be criticized and criticized.
Even if it is not lost, if the ancestral court is disturbed and the troops are lost, the Shanyu cannot escape the relationship!
"People of the Han Dynasty!" The military official clenched his fists and cursed angrily: "I swear to the gods and ancestors that I will never die with you!"
The Han army's departure this time really angered him thoroughly.
As a Chanyu, military officials also knew that if he could not respond forcefully to the Han Dynasty's challenge.
Then, the four major clans will have the idea of changing to a Shanyu.
This is not a strange thing among the Huns.
What should the Huns do if the Chanyu fails to provide strength?
Change it!
And the four major clans now do have the capital to exchange for Chan Yu.
Because Zhelan had been defeated and his vitality was severely damaged, Aries and Loufan were both buried in Mayi.
The once loyal troika who charged into battle for Shan Yuting were either killed or surrendered.
Especially Zhelan's loss greatly reduced Shan Yuting's deterrence.
The four major clans already have the ability to replace a Chanyu.
Thinking of this, the military minister let out a sigh of relief. He couldn't help but feel lucky that he had made the wise choice to march westward.
The biggest advantage of the Western Expedition was that he used his victory and spoils to win over the tribes that went on the expedition with him.
These people will definitely become his die-hard fans and crazy fans.
With their support, even if the four major clans wanted to rebel, he would have the confidence to suppress them.
Thinking like this, the military minister said: "Go and tell the Daxia people that the craftsmen and gold I requested must be sent within three days, otherwise, this Shanyu will burn the city and continue to march and occupy it."
And burn their capitals!”
Of course this is a threat!
But the military officials believed that the people of Daxia would not dare not listen to this threat!
Because their nobles and officials have told the Huns: These are a group of idiots who can take whatever they want and are extremely selfish!
Sure enough, after the envoys from the military ministers sent the news to the capital of Daxia, the people of Daxia were frightened out of their wits!
At this time, Bactria, or the Kingdom of Bactria, had long since lost the bravery and enterprising spirit of its ancestors.
Decades ago, the civil war that stretched across the entire kingdom wiped out the last bit of capital and national strength left to them by their ancestors.
Therefore, when the Yuezhi moved westward, the people of Daxia were so frightened by the horse hooves of the Yuezhi that they knelt on the ground. They were so frightened that they not only ceded land to pay compensation and gave away their girls, but also regarded the Yuezhi as their clan masters.
If the Yueshi themselves were not disabled and unable to destroy Daxia, I am afraid that this ancient kingdom would have perished long ago.
At this time, when they heard the Huns' request, the Daxia people dared not agree to it.
Anyway...
The part of India ruled by Bactria was very wealthy, and the locals were easy to exploit.
So, on the same day, Daxia gathered the wealth and craftsmen requested by the Huns and sent them over.
No discount at all!
The Huns also rarely kept their promise this time. After receiving the craftsmen and gold, without saying a word, they immediately withdrew from the "Alexander City in the Far East" with the looted population and wealth.
Of course, before leaving, the military officials swore to the city wall: "This Chanyu will definitely come back!"
If you don’t come back, you are not a Huns!
It’s such an easy-to-grab place, so of course I have to come more often! (~^~)
