The first thousand three hundred and six chapters cut it
Chapter 1306 Let’s cut it off
Queen Jingjue is able to sit on the throne as a female, so she is naturally not a fuel-saving lamp. Not only is she no worse than men, she even has a higher ambition than ordinary men.
"Then how can we get to China's big ship?
After all, although we are a node, our country is small and weak. If China supports Loulan or Khotan wants to annex us, wouldn’t the result be the same?
As long as they can make sure the road is smooth."
Although Queen Jingjue said so, why should people support themselves? A small country with only a few thousand people and less than a thousand soldiers may not be as big as a village in China. Why should people treat you as a human being?
.
"Don't worry. Although the Jingjue Kingdom is small and weak, it is precisely because of this that China will support us. After all, the Western Region is still too far away for China. In the words of the Han people, it is beyond our reach.
Faced with such a situation, a powerful country in the Western Region is definitely a destabilizing factor for China. Only maintaining this situation is the most beneficial to China's rule, so don't worry."
Although Queen Jingjue wears a golden mask, her eyes are shining with light, which is extremely radiant.
"Then the Chinese army is coming, how should we prepare?
Do you need to send an envoy to show your sincerity?"
Queen Jingjue's analysis was clean and to the point, and Jingjue couldn't help but admire her.
"Immediately order people to make flags with Chinese characters, and then plant the flags all over the city. Also prepare chariots and horses. I want to go east in person to meet the Chinese army."
Queen Jingjue glanced at the Prime Minister who was kneeling on the ground, and directly asked him to make a flag with Chinese characters. At the same time, she was also preparing to visit Yuan Shu in person.
"Your Majesty, do you want to go in person?
Isn’t this a bit much?”
He understood the rush to make the Chinese flag, but he felt a little inappropriate about Queen Jingjue going to see her in person.
"It's nothing like that. China has a vast land and rich resources. Compared with others, our Jingjue may not even be able to compare with a small county. I, the Queen of Jingjue, am at best equivalent to a county magistrate. If a Shangguan comes, wouldn't it be very difficult for a county magistrate to pay homage to him?
Is this a normal thing?"
Queen Jingjue shook her head. Although she has the title of queen on her head, Huaxia doesn't look down on her at all. If she is being reserved and acting like a queen, then she really doesn't know whether Jingjue will exist.
Already.
"Yes, I will immediately arrange a car to escort His Majesty."
Hearing what Queen Jingjue said, Prime Minister Jingjue had nothing to say. After all, he was a little too proud. Compared to China, he was really nothing. He was still reserved and reserved.
Soon, a group of about 200 soldiers and horses, riding camels, escorted a carriage and left Niya City towards Loulan.
Yuan Shu's army was walking in the slow yellow sand. As time went by, they had become somewhat out of touch with the construction corps behind them.
You must know that these places are different from the mainland of China, where there is no shortage of mountains, rocks and trees. There is nothing here except endless yellow sand and strong winds. This is also an important reason for the slowdown in the construction of supply roads.
Fortunately, the main roads in front have been built. Xun You in the rear knew the difficulties here, and he continuously sent stones and wood to the front line through supply vehicles for the construction corps to build roads and bridges.
Time passed day by day, and Zhao Yun finally waited for the return of Yan Liang and Yan Xing. Not only did they return, they also brought orders from the Hun Princess Wu Luolan Baoyu and the newly organized five thousand cavalry.
Together with the 15,000 captured Xiongnu cavalry, they gathered up the 20,000 elite cavalry required by Zhao Yun, joined the Northern Route Army, and followed China in the expedition to the Western Regions.
Everything was ready, Zhao Yun set out again, with 85,000 elite troops from the four armies of Ying Yang Army, Suppressing Lu Army, Po Lu Army and Xian Deng Army.
Supplemented by the Xianbei Servant Army, the Xiongnu Servant Army, the Wuhuan Servant Army, and the Bingzhou Cavalry, there are nearly 80,000 cavalry.
In addition to the 20,000 Huns cavalry just harvested and the 5,000 soldiers and horses from the Cheshi Kingdom, there are already nearly 190,000 soldiers and horses.
Moreover, among these 190,000 soldiers, nearly 150,000 are cavalry. Even the infantry, in addition to carriages and carriages, ride on camels. It can be said that they can move at full speed and are a real high-mobility force.
190,000 soldiers and horses were walking on the road, but their destination, Yanqi State, was in a hurry. You must know that they were very close to the chariot division. Huaxia definitely did not come with a large army just for a chariot division. They wanted to start again.
Take control of the countries in the Western Region,
They didn't know about the others, but it was a bit uncomfortable for Yanqi, because they also sent people north to ask for help from the Xiongnu, the current suzerain country, but got no response at all. Their whole country is now in panic.
"Your Majesty, now that the Huns have not replied, what should we do?"
Prime Minister Yanqi looked at the tall King Yanqi with panic in his eyes. Like the people of Yanqi, he was panicked, confused, and didn't know what to do.
"What should I do?
Even if we gather all the troops in our country, we only have ten thousand soldiers and horses, and the Chinese cavalry is unknown. Now that there is no news from the Huns, we can only surrender to the Chinese."
King Yanqi was also helpless. Originally, the Eastern Han Dynasty was powerful, and all the countries in the Western Regions paid tribute to it. However, as the strength of the Eastern Han Dynasty declined, the Xiongnu and Wusun began to march straight in, using their superior cavalry to constantly suppress themselves. They had no choice but to
Only then decided to change course,
Now that the Huaxia has replaced the Han, they have regained their strength and are fighting against the Huaxia again. As the Xiongnu's number one younger brother, Che Shi is not spared, let alone himself.
"Although surrendering to the Huaxia now can protect Yanqi's health for a while, the Huaxia is far away from the Western Region after all. Even if they are unmatched now, if the Huns or Wusun attack again after they leave, how should we respond?"
Although China is so powerful now, the Huns and Wusun people are not easy to use. It is also written that they are no match for China at this moment, so they choose to give in temporarily.
But when the Chinese soldiers and horses leave and the other side comes back to fight, it will be you who suffers the consequences. What should you do?
"Now that even the Huns are shunning China, what else can we do?
We can only accept the consequences. As for the Huns coming to kill us in the future, if China doesn't care, we can only resign ourselves to fate."
Hearing the question from Prime Minister Yanqi, King Yanqi had nothing to say. Now they can only take one step at a time. Who knows that they can't compare with the Xiongnu, and Wusun can't compare with the great Chinese Empire. They can only compete with the two major forces.
oscillated between.
"Then I will immediately arrange for people to surrender to the Chinese."
Hearing what King Yanqi said, Prime Minister Yanqi also nodded.
"Go in person and bring more gold, silver and silk. Only in this way can we express our sincerity."
King Yanqi also had nothing to say. Since he wanted to go, he couldn't send any kittens or puppies there. Apart from himself, the most noble person in Yanqi country was Prime Minister Yanqi. Only by sending him could he express his sincerity.
"Okay, I will personally go to Cheshi to express my allegiance to the Chinese people."
Prime Minister Yanqi left directly, then took a chariot of gold and silver, and under the escort of five hundred cavalry, left Yanqi's capital and ran in the direction of the charioteer.
In two days, Prime Minister Yanqi met Zhao Yun's army. The five hundred cavalry were directly surrounded by the two thousand cavalry in the front row. Looking at the Chinese elite cavalry patrolling around, Yanqi's cavalry couldn't help but tremble.
"I don't know which general will lead the troops, but Mr. Yanqi is very polite to Bazaar."
Baza came out of the carriage, recited Chinese, saluted and asked questions to the cavalry in front of him.
"What is Prime Minister?
What brought you here?"
After hearing the other party announcing his home address, an armor-clad school captain stepped out of the crowd and asked Bazaar questions.
"On behalf of King Yanqi, I have come to express my intention to surrender to China. I also hope that the general can take me to see the general of the army."
Seeing the real owner coming, Bazaar was relieved. What he was most afraid of was that the other party would kill them all indiscriminately, and then he would be powerless even if he was full of words. Fortunately, it was okay.
"I'm here on behalf of King Yanqi. Brothers, kill them first. You can follow me."
When he heard that the other party's representative, King Yanqi, wanted to surrender to him, the captain had nothing to say, so he first ordered the soldiers to unload their weapons, and then took Prime Minister Yanqi to see Zhao Yun of the Chinese army.
"General, Baza, the Prime Minister of Yanqi State, is seeking an audience outside. He said that he wants to surrender to China on behalf of King Yanqi."
Soon Baza's intention to come reached Zhao Yun's ears.
"Bring him here."
Zhao Yun thought for a moment, and since Yanqi wanted to surrender, it would save him the trouble. After all, Yanqi was also one of the most important countries in the Western Region. If they could be conquered, it would be of great benefit to future actions.
"Prime Minister Yanqi Bazaar pays homage to the general of the Celestial Dynasty."
Glancing at Zhao Yun, who was wearing silver armor and a white horse, he knew that this man must be the rightful owner he was looking for, so he took the time to salute him.
"Okay, I understand. I heard that you are here to express your surrender to China on behalf of King Yanqi. Is this true?"
Zhao Yun glanced at Bazaar to confirm his purpose.
"Yes, I am here to express my allegiance to China on behalf of King Yanqi."
Baza saluted Zhao Yun again and agreed with what he said.
"Okay, let me ask you a few questions. Why did the Yanqi Kingdom cut off its confession to China? Why did you turn to the Huns? Even if we accept your surrender, when our troops leave, what should you do if you repeat it again?
good?"
Zhao Yun glanced at Bazaar and directly asked some quite pointed questions.
"Actually, we are also in a dilemma. After all, Yanqi is so big. When the Han Dynasty was strong in the past, the Xiongnu and Wusun did not dare to ride their horses southward.
However, with the decline of the Han Dynasty, the Huns and Wusun continued to move south. Yanqi had no way to resist, so he could only cut off supplies to China and defect to the Huns. This was also to protect himself.
As for what you said about soldiers and horses leaving us repeatedly, I can only say that water is impermanent. As long as China can remain strong, we Yanqi will never betray us, otherwise there will be nothing to say."
Regarding Zhao Yun's question, Baza had nothing to say. That was the fact. It was impossible for him to express his position to Zhao Yun, because Zhao Yun could not believe everything he said now.
This is a compromise made based on the powerful strength of the Chinese Empire. Rather than being like this, it is better to say something happily.
"You are sincere, but sincerity may not count now. Even if you are more tactful, that's fine. Now it seems that Yanqi country is hopeless. Let's kill it."
