Chapter 670 Accept it all, just ask the Prince of Daqin to retreat immediately!
It is a principle that you should not chase the enemy when you are poor, but King Dayuezhi knew that the combat power of a cavalry team on the grassland was enough to make the infantry desperate.
King Dayuezhi was originally an expert in cavalry.
However, all the cavalry were lost in the hands of the Prince of Qin, which resulted in a rare situation in the Great Yuezhi army where there were more infantry than cavalry.
Under such circumstances, King Dayuezhi knew that chasing the sharp soldiers of Great Qin would be a desperate move.
King Dayuezhi had already admitted defeat in his heart at this moment. He needed to accumulate strength for his future rise.
At this moment, it was no longer necessary to continue to pursue the great Qin warriors, not to mention that he had gained what he wanted, whether it was prestige or the respect of the soldiers.
Even if the Kushan leader arrives, it cannot affect his status at this moment. After being the king for so many years, he has too many means to reverse the situation at this moment.
However, this requires a stable environment to turn everything around.
For King Dayuezhi, Dayuezhi is now a place of chaos, and the westward migration is imminent.
Therefore, King Dayuezhi was unwilling to continue to pursue and kill the Great Yuezhi army.
"Now, we can only see whether the Kushan leader can succeed!" King Dayuezhi looked at the direction of the retreat of the Great Qin warriors, with a flash of struggle in his eyes and said.
"Go back to the chief, count the casualties, then order the army to rest and regroup, and send out scouts to be vigilant!"
"promise."
He nodded in agreement and didn't say much when he returned to the chieftain. He knew in his heart that this matter was very important. If the Great Qin warriors came to kill again, the three armies of the Great Yuezhi would definitely panic.
After the chieftain Hui left, the entire grassland fell into deathly silence. Every soldier was filled with silence, and dark clouds filled the sky and earth.
"Your Majesty, the warriors of Great Qin are so arrogant, can our army just endure it again and again?" Leader Xiu Mi's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and his whole person was a little impassioned at this moment.
"It doesn't matter if you can't bear it. We are weak. If we don't bow our heads, there is only one way to die. I can die, but the Dayue clan cannot be destroyed."
King Dayuezhi looked solemn. He knew in his heart that the generals under his command had different thoughts, but he did not have the energy to rectify them.
Only by completely solving the problem of the Great Yuezhi can we have enough time and energy to resolve this matter and rebuild the glory of the Great Yuezhi.
…
Qin army shogunate.
Ying Gao took a sip of tea and put down the bamboo slips in his hand. He had already settled the affairs of the army, and now he could only wait for the news of the army's victory.
Putting down the tea cup, Ying Gao turned to Tie Ying and said, "Tie Ying immediately sent a message to Xianyang. We will need skilled craftsmen in building the city."
"Let them rush to Xihai County as quickly as possible. At the same time, order the slaves to assemble in Xihai County."
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Tie Ying turned around and left.
Watching Tie Ying leave, Ying Gao looked solemn. He knew in his heart that building Guancheng in the northwest must be put on the agenda.
Otherwise, this matter will be postponed indefinitely. The role of Yumen Pass and Yang Pass is still clear to Ying Gao.
Yangguan was the chokepoint for China's ancient overland traffic and a pass that must pass through on the southern Silk Road. The pass was built in the Western Han Dynasty and was named Yangguan because it was south of Yumen Pass.
Together with Yumen Pass, it was the gateway to the Western Regions at that time.
Yangguan was an important pass for the Han Dynasty to defend against the invasion of nomadic tribes from the northwest. It was also an important gateway from the Central Plains to the Western Regions and Central Asia on the Silk Road. It relied on water as a pass, and it was dangerously close to Sichuan, echoing the north and south of Yumen Pass.
Yangguan is built in the desert. It occupies a dangerous terrain where one man is responsible for the pass and no ten thousand people can pass it.
Yangguan and Yumenguan, one is in the south and the other is in the north. After leaving the two passes, you enter the vast Gobi Desert.
Yangguan is a major military center and a post station on the Dunhuang section of the Silk Road, and an important gateway to the Western Regions and Europe and Asia.
As for Yumen Pass, what Ying Gao remembers most clearly is because of one person.
Ban Chao.
Historical records record: Han Banchao has been in the extinct territory for a long time, and he wants to return home when he is old. He wrote a letter saying: "I don't want to go to Jiuquan County, but I hope to be born in Yumen Pass!"
Actually, there is a paragraph at the end.
I would like to send my son Yong to the fortress with Anxi's offerings, and when I am alive, I will enable Yong to see the central land.
Very sad!
But this is the special point of Yumen Pass and Yang Pass. They are the gateways to the west of the Qin Dynasty. If the Qin Dynasty wants to conquer the west in the future, guard against bandits from the west, and ensure the stability of the Qin Dynasty's rear, it must build two passes to lock the northwest.
Now, the warriors of the Great Qin Dynasty have launched an attack, and King Da Yueshi has already begun to surrender. It is time to consider this matter.
........
"General Ying, the scouts passed the news. Our army defeated the outer army of the Dayue clan and killed countless people. After King Dayuezhi responded, he organized a counterattack. General Li Xin ordered the army to retreat and was confronting the army of the Dayue clan.
!”
Hearing this, the corners of Ying Gao's mouth raised slightly.
In his opinion, this was because God was helping him. Li Xin and others had won a great victory, and the Dayue clan's capital for stubborn resistance had long since disappeared.
"Ye Chong, don't interrupt the contact between the Da Yuezhi and the Kushan leader. At this time, they should be in contact!"
"promise."
Nodding, Ye Zhong clearly understood what Ying Gao was thinking. If the Kushan leader did not get the news, this negotiation would still be a deadlock, and the power of the Great Qin Ruishi's victory would be greatly reduced.
.........
Three days later.
The leader of Kushan once again walked into the Qin shogunate.
"The foreign minister has met the Prince of Qin!"
But compared to the first time, the Kushan leader no longer had the energy and persistence. The blow of this battle made him understand that the Yuezhi no longer had the right to choose.
"After so many days apart, has the leader thought clearly?"
He smiled at the leader of Guishang, Ying Gao, and said: "I have received the news that the Great Yuezhi army has been defeated again. If it is defeated a few more times, even if the Great Yuezhi goes west, I am afraid that it will not be possible.
Has your ability been established?"
Murder and heart-wrenching!
When Ying Gao said these words, the face of the Kushan leader changed slightly, but he could not refute it, nor could he refute it, because what Ying Gao said was correct.
That's the truth.
If the warriors of the Great Qin and the Great Yuezhi army fight a few more times, the young men of the Great Yueshi will be buried here, and the possibility of their rising again is extremely low.
As soon as he thought of this, a hint of bitterness appeared on the corner of the Guishang leader's mouth. He knew in his heart that the Prince of Qin had already held him and the Da Yuezhi in his hands, and there was no room for struggle.
"Prince of the Qin Dynasty, the foreign ministers can agree to your request, but the Qin Dynasty must withdraw its troops immediately. Only in this way can we have a negotiation!"
The Kushan leader finally suppressed his ambition. He knew in his heart that no matter what, at least for now, the Yuezhi could not be in chaos.
If civil strife breaks out in the Great Yueshi when there are foreign enemies, the Great Yueshi will disappear from heaven and earth. Naturally, he understands the ambition of the Prince of Qin.
