The first thousand three hundred and fourteenth chapters
Chapter 1314 Division of Troops
Soon the telegram traveled through space and directly reached Zhao Yun's army.
"General, your Majesty's telegram."
Zhou Yu came to Zhao Yun with the telegram he had just received. Although he was a staff officer with the army, he still had no right to check the telegram first.
"Bring it to me and see."
Zhao Yun took the telegram from Zhou Yu and started to read it without reading it.
"What did your Majesty say?"
Zhou Yu glanced at Zhao Yun, and a gleam flashed in his eyes. From what he thought, Yuan Shu would definitely not easily initiate a war against Wusun. After all, his purpose was to protect the passage to the Western Region. If the other party showed absolute obedience, there was no need to directly destroy him.
Got someone else.
"Your Majesty means that Wusun will be annexed by us sooner or later. Sending troops now is somewhat of a waste of force. If Wusun really obeys and agrees to send troops to join us in the Western Expedition, we will let them go temporarily.
If they don't agree to send troops or are just fooling people, there's nothing to say, just kill them."
Zhao Yun directly stated what Yuan Shu meant.
"If this is the case, it depends on Wusun's sincerity. Wusun's troops are almost the same as those of the Huns. Thirty thousand cavalry is the bottom line. It must not be lower than this number."
After hearing what Yuan Shu meant, Zhou Yu also nodded. It would be fine if Wusun really obeyed. If he didn't, he wouldn't be able to blame himself.
"Well, let's call Kun Jiuli over immediately and convey our intentions to him."
"promise,"
Soon Kun Jiuli was brought to Zhao Yun.
"General."
Kun Jiuli saluted directly to Zhao Yun. The other party who called him over so quickly must have discussed it and made a decision.
"Well, get up."
Zhao Yun nodded at the other party and motioned for him to get up and speak.
"Thank you, General."
After Kun Jiuli saluted again, he immediately stood up.
"If I accept the Wusun clan on behalf of China, what can you do for China?"
Zhao Yun glanced at the other party and went straight to the point, asking directly what the other party could give.
"What to pay for?
I wonder what the general wants Wusun to pay?"
Hearing Zhao Yun's words, Kun Jiuli was also stunned, not knowing what Zhao Yun meant.
“What do I want Wusun to pay?
Haha, what do you think?
The only thing China can like now is Wusun’s cavalry.”
Seeing the other party's appearance, Zhao Yun also shook his head. This guy looked a bit unsmart.
"It's just the Western Region. If the general has so many troops, does he still need Wusun to send troops?"
Kun Jiuli was completely stupid now. The other party actually wanted Wusun to send troops?
You have so many soldiers and horses, but you still care about people like Wusun?
He really doesn't know anymore.
"Haha, I might as well tell you, do you really think that so many soldiers and horses came to the Western Regions just for these small countries?
What a joke, our goal is to attack the Da Yueshi, so how many troops can your Wusun send to accompany us in the expedition?"
Since the other party was such a fool, Zhao Yun might as well be honest and state his goals.
"this?"
Kun Jiuli was completely confused when he heard what the other party said. The other party's target was actually Da Yueshi. He was completely confused. China was going to do a big job.
"I know you have no right to decide Wusun's situation, so I might as well put the bottom line here for you. If Wusun sends 30,000 troops, China will recognize your status as a slave country.
If it doesn't work, I'm sorry, we are either friends or enemies. In order to ensure the security of our Western Region, Wusun may have to be like the Huns."
Zhao Yun glanced at the other party and directly stated his bottom line. If the other party agreed to send 30,000 troops, they would be good friends. If not, then let's start a war.
"I understand. Now I will return to the Wusun tribe to express our intentions to the king."
Hearing the opponent's bottom line, Kun Jiuli also had a headache. You must know that Wusun only has 200,000 to 300,000 troops and only 50,000 troops. This time, 30,000 cavalry are needed, which is already beyond his ability. Kunchi must
I decided for myself.
"Okay, how many days do you need?"
Zhao Yun nodded to Kun Jiuli, but he was not a philanthropist, and the time still had to be set.
"It will take at least ten days to get here and back from Wusun Grassland."
Kun Jiuli roughly estimated the time in his mind. If he traveled day and night, ten days would definitely be enough time for a round trip.
"I will give you fifteen days. If there is no news within fifteen days, I will assume that you will become hostile to us. Then don't blame me."
Zhao Yun thought for a while and directly gave the opponent fifteen days. During these fifteen days, he could capture Qiuci. If there was no news about Wusun by then, he would send troops north to destroy them.
"Okay, fifteen days, I'll leave right away."
Kun Jiuli also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the other party had given him fifteen days, so he didn't have to rush so much.
"Go ahead."
Zhao Yun waved his hand, signaling the other party to leave.
"General, do you want to go fishing?"
Zhou Yu looked at Kun Jiuli who was leaving, a light flashed in his eyes.
"Haha, I can't hide anything from you. Although we have many soldiers and horses, the Wusun Grassland is not small. If we can follow the opponent north to find their royal court, it will save some effort."
Zhao Yun nodded to Zhou Yu. This guy was indeed no ordinary person. He understood what he was thinking before he said anything.
"That's exactly what it should be."
Zhou Yu nodded. The reason why he could guess what Zhao Yun was thinking was because he thought so. He only asked Zhao Yun this way out of politeness.
"Zhao Feng."
Zhao Yun directly ordered his personal guard commander.
"exist."
Zhao Feng saluted Hua Zhao Yun directly.
"If you take someone behind you and hang them far away, you must not let them discover you. Do you understand?"
Zhao Feng smiled slightly after hearing Zhao Yun's words.
"Don't worry, general. We won't let the other party discover it."
Apart from anything else, Zhao Feng is still very confident in his tracking skills. As long as he wants to follow, the other party will not be able to find him at all.
"General, take the radio with you."
Zhou Yu glanced at Zhao Yun and Zhao Feng and directly asked him to take the radio station north to pursue them.
"Is it dangerous to bring a radio there?"
Hearing that Zhou Yu actually asked Zhao Feng to take the radio station north, he couldn't help but frowned. Although there were not as few transmitters as before, they were still extremely valuable. If something went wrong in the middle, he would have made a big mistake.
Already.
"It doesn't matter, just let the transmitter hang far away and keep a distance from Captain Zhao Feng. In this way, if there is a problem with the Wusun people, such as trying to escape or something, we can respond immediately and send troops north to pursue them.
It’s never too late.”
Zhou Yu was thinking more. If the Wusun people did not send troops to cooperate with him, they would most likely choose to migrate as a family and wait until Huaxia left the Western Region before returning. How could he give the opponent this opportunity?
"If you say so, why not just divide the army into two groups and slowly move northward. If Wusun really wants to run away, let him capture it directly, and continue westward to capture Qiuci Kingdom."
Zhao Yun glanced at the other party and understood what Zhou Yu meant, which was that he did not want to let Wusun go.
"It's not impossible to do this."
Zhou Yu nodded. It is not impossible to divide the troops now. Anyway, it is enough to deal with tens of thousands of troops from Kucha Kingdom. There is no need to spend everyone here.
"Immediately summon the generals from all ministries to discuss matters."
Zhao Yun had nothing to say and directly announced that he would summon all the generals to discuss matters.
Soon Yan Liang, Ju Yi and Yan Xing came to Zhao Yun together.
"What's wrong?"
Yan Liang glanced at Zhao Yun and asked directly.
"His Majesty's telegram has been sent. What he means is that if Wusun is willing to send 30,000 troops to follow us in the Western Expedition, he will accept the other side as a slave state. If the other side does not agree, he will simply wipe it out. I have already told Wusun his intention.
Jiuli, give him fifteen days to reply."
Zhao Yun directly stated the current situation.
"That's very good. You can just decide these things. You don't need to summon us here, right?"
Hearing what Zhao Yun said, Yan Liang couldn't help but feel doubtful. He could just decide this matter. Why did he call him over?
"What Gong Jin and I mean is that the other party has left now, and we need to be prepared to prevent the other party from evacuating their entire family to avoid our front, so we want to divide our troops into two groups.
One way is to go north slowly and follow the opponent to the Wusun Grassland, and the other way is to continue west and continue to attack the Qiuci Kingdom, what do you think?"
Zhao Yun glanced at the three people in front of him and told him his arrangement.
"You are the commander-in-chief of the Northern Route Army. You can decide whether to divide the troops or not. We will definitely obey your military orders."
Hearing that Zhao Yun wanted to divide his troops, Yan Liang had no objection. After all, so many soldiers and horses here looked scary, but they were useless. Instead of wasting so much, it was better to divide the troops directly. If the Wusun people wanted to run away, just give them to them.
He is destroyed.
"Well, just give the order."
"I can do whatever I want."
Yan Xing and Ju Yi also clasped their fists together. Since Zhao Yun was named the commander-in-chief of the Northern Route Army by Yuan Shu, then everything must be centered on him. Besides, what they said makes sense.
"General Yan Liang, General Yan Xing, you are leading the Lu suppressing army and the Ying Yang army, together with the Xianbei cavalry, are heading north to capture Wusun. General Ju Yi and I will continue to attack the Kucha Kingdom to the west."
Since none of the three had any objections, Zhao Yun directly announced the order to divide the troops. Yan Liang and Yan Xingying would lead the Yang army and the Zhenlu army, supplemented by Xianbei cavalry. More than 90,000 cavalry would go north, and he and Ju Yi would continue to attack Qiuci westward.
After leaving Luntai City, Zhao Yun's next step was the capital of Qiuci, Yancheng.
The news that Luntai City had been captured spread directly to Yancheng. When they heard that the opponent had more than 100,000 cavalry, the entire Kucha Kingdom was completely at peace.
"Your Majesty, the situation is now clear. Even if Wusun really wants to resist Yuan Shu, we cannot follow them to death. China's strength is too strong."
Prime Minister Qiuci glanced at Bai Zhen on the throne. The situation was too clear now. The opponent had more soldiers and horses than his own countrymen. Others didn't know Wusun's strength. They understood it very well.
There are only about 50,000 cavalry. Even if you grit your teeth and send out 30,000 troops, it is impossible to resist the opponent.
Since you can't fight no matter what, you might as well just lie down and surrender.
"How do you feel?"
Bai Zhen glanced at Xiang Qiuci, and then glanced at the others.
"I agree with surrender."
"I also agree with surrender."
"Agree."
After hearing Bai Zhen's words, Qiuci civil and military officials also saluted and expressed their support for the resolution of surrender.
"Since everyone agrees, let's surrender to China and hope they can accept us."
Bai Zhen nodded. He didn't expect anything else now. He just hoped that Huaxia could accept him like the big man and that nothing would happen.
