He Mu Zheng thought for a moment and shook his head. Although Boer Che's proposal seemed good, if something goes wrong in the middle, it would be a disaster for Wusun. Since the risk is so high, it is better to choose one side now.
On the contrary, it will be much safer.
"Well, I also think that escaping is not a problem now. If China really wants to go to war with the Great Yueshi, the war will definitely burn in all directions. I also agree to choose one side to join, but should we choose China or the Great Yueshi?
"
Wusun Wang Kunchi nodded at his wooden certificate. He also believed that escaping was not an option. Besides, the Chinese cavalry were close at hand, so even if he wanted to escape, it would not be that easy.
"Your Majesty, I think that although China is far away, they must be determined to go to war with the Great Yueshi this time. They used the excuse of pacifying the Western Regions, and then attacked the Great Yueshi with a large army.
Whether calculated carefully or not, China is still facing a bigger challenge, and if the other side really wants to go to war, I suspect they have other troops, but we don't know."
Kun Jiuli has seen the Chinese army. Since China has decided to go to war with the Great Yuezhi, it will definitely not have only so many soldiers and horses. More than 200,000 soldiers and horses may be a lot for him, but it is simply impossible to destroy the Great Yueshi.
things,
Therefore, he speculated that there must be other soldiers and horses in China. Based on calculated calculations and unintentional calculations, the Yueshi had a high chance of losing.
"What do you think?"
Kunchi's original intention is also towards Huaxia. After all, the Great Yueshi are still far away from him, but the threat from China is very close. If they turn to the Great Yueshi now, Huaxia can destroy them now.
"I agree, China is close at hand, and they are a greater threat than the Yueshi."
He Mu Zheng was the first to stand up and agreed with Kunchi's suggestion.
"I agree."
Buerche glanced at Kunchi, saluted him directly, and expressed his approval.
"I agree."
"agree."
Everyone had nothing to say and all agreed.
"Well, in that case, there is nothing more to say. Since we are going to do it, we must give full support and send 40,000 cavalry south to follow the Chinese army to conquer the Da Yueshi. In addition, we are recruiting 10,000 cavalry, for a total of 20,000 cavalry to protect our clan."
Now that everyone agreed, Kunchi stood up directly and announced to support China's 40,000 Wusun cavalry to conquer the Dayue clan in the west. At the same time, he was recruiting 10,000 cavalry to protect the Wusun clan.
"yes."
Soon the Wusun clan began to prepare for war. Kunchi led 40,000 Wusun cavalry and went south to fight against the Chinese army.
"Hurry and report to General Yan Xing and General Yan Liang that 40,000 Wusun cavalry are heading south."
Seeing the Wusun cavalry heading south, Zhao Feng immediately sent someone down to report the news to Yan Xing.
"promise."
Soon the scout went south and reported the military situation to Yan Xing and Yan Liang in the rear row.
"Forty thousand Wusun cavalry heading south?"
Upon hearing the news, Yan Xing and Yan Liang looked at each other, and then looked at Zhou Yu beside them.
"The Wusun people have figured it out. The 40,000 cavalry can be regarded as treating each other with sincerity. It's okay. Putting your strength in front of them openly can also make the other party more convinced."
Zhou Yu glanced at the two of them, and a gleam flashed in his eyes. Now that the Wusun people have decided to join him, they have nothing to hide. We should openly show them to them and let them know our strength.
"Okay, then let's set up our battle formation and let the Wusun people take a look."
Yan Liang nodded. Since this is the case, let's show the Wusun people the strength of China.
"promise."
More than 90,000 cavalrymen directly formed their formation, waiting for the Wusun cavalry to move south.
Kunchi led 40,000 Wusun cavalry southward, when suddenly the scouts in front returned.
"Your Majesty, a large number of cavalry were found in front, numbering around 100,000."
Upon hearing this news, all the Wusun cavalrymen were stunned. One hundred thousand cavalrymen appeared for no reason, and no one was confused about who to put them on.
"Your Majesty, the only ones with this strength now are the Chinese cavalry. They must have been prepared for a long time. Once we choose to abandon China and choose Da Yuezhi or Beidun, the other party will definitely destroy us without mercy.
Lose."
Kun Jiuli glanced at Kunchi, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes. The Chinese people really did a good job. If they didn't obey, they wouldn't be able to escape even if they wanted to. They were so insidious.
"Fortunately, since they are Chinese soldiers and horses, Kun Jiuli, you go over and talk to them first, and the other soldiers and horses are ready for battle."
Although he has decided to join Huaxia, the two sides are not in an alliance now, and Kunchi can only prepare for both sides. If the other party accepts him, there is no need to say anything. If they don't, then they will have no choice but to fight.
After hearing Kunchi's words, the 40,000 Wusun cavalry immediately formed a fighting formation, and then Kun Jiuli left with nearly a hundred cavalry and ran wildly in the direction of Yan Liang.
"Don't do anything. I am Kun Jiuli. I have something important to ask to see the general of the Celestial Dynasty."
Seeing the Chinese scouts appearing next to him, Kun Jiuli directly revealed his identity and asked to see the leading Chinese general.
"Take him to see the general."
Seeing that they were old acquaintances, the captain in charge of the front waved his hand directly and took Kun Jiuli to meet Yan Liang and Yan Xing.
"General, Kunjiuli is here."
When Kun Jiuli comes over, someone will naturally come to report to Yan Liang and the others.
"Let him come over."
Hearing Kun Jiuli's arrival, Yan Liang nodded and directly ordered him to come over.
"Wusun Kun Jiuli pays homage to the Chinese general."
Kun Jiuli broke through many troops and finally came to Yan Liang.
"Kunjiuli, Wusun has made a decision."
Yan Liang glanced at Kun Jiuli and directly asked him if he had made a decision.
"The Wusun clan has decided to support China's Western Expedition. Now King Wusun is heading south with 40,000 elite cavalry, preparing to fight against the Chinese army."
Kun Jiuli's eyes were full of depression. Your army has already come here, what else can he say?
"Okay, since that's the case, let the soldiers and horses come over."
Although he had long guessed that the other party had decided to join the Chinese army, but now that he was sure of it, his heart finally fell into his stomach. After all, the other party had 40,000 cavalry. Even if he had twice as many cavalry as the other party, he would still have to pay a lot to win over the other party.
sacrificial.
"yes."
Kun Jiuli saluted Yan Liang, then mounted his horse and left Yan Liang's army, running towards Wusun's army.
"Your Majesty, we have negotiated. They have accepted us and let us go over and have a round with them."
Kun Jiuli immediately reported the news to Kunchi.
"really?"
Kunchi glanced at Kunjiuli, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.
"Well, we don't even have 40,000 cavalry. Even if the opponent has 100,000 cavalry and wants to capture us, they will have to pay a lot of losses. Besides, we have agreed to surrender, so they don't need to kill us all, right?
After all, their target is Da Yueshi, not us Wusun."
Kun Jiuli nodded to Kunchi, thought for a moment and spoke out his thoughts.
"Well, that makes sense. The whole army will advance and fight with the Chinese army."
Kunchi thought for a moment and realized that the other party was right. Don't hit the smiling man with your hands. Now the other party's target was the Da Yueshi. Having his own 40,000 cavalry would be a big help. There was no need to kill them all.
Soon the 40,000 Wusun cavalry took action again, heading in the direction of Yan Liang's army.
Hundreds of thousands of cavalry from both sides looked at each other from afar, and then Yan Liang slowly left the military formation.
"That is the general of China."
Seeing Yan Liang coming out of the military formation and coming to the front of the army, Kun Jiuli immediately revealed his identity to Kun Chi.
"Jiuli, come with me to meet the Chinese general."
Now that the identity of the other party was confirmed, Kun Chi took Kun Jiuli directly out of the military formation to meet Yan Liang.
"Wusun Kunchi pays homage to the general."
Kunchi and Kun Jiuli dismounted their horses together and saluted Yan Liang.
"Are you King Wusun?"
Yan Liang sat astride the war horse and looked down at Kunchi below.
"It's Xiao Wang."
Kunchi nodded to Yan Liang and confirmed his identity.
"You have thought carefully. Since you want to obey China as your suzerain country, you must not betray us. Otherwise, we will kill you even if we chase you to the ends of the earth."
Yan Liang also nodded, but he had to say something ugly earlier. Since it is effective, it must be effective. If it takes three days to dry the fish and two days to cast the net, don't blame us for being ruthless.
"Wusun naturally does not dare to betray China, and we hope the general will learn from it."
After hearing what the other party said, Kunchi saluted again to express his feelings.
"Okay, then get on your horse and let the Wusun cavalry turn with my cavalry and head to Yancheng."
"yes."
After taking over the Wusun tribe without bloodshed, Yan Liang led 130,000 cavalry south, leaving the Wusun grassland and rushing towards Yancheng.
"General, telegram from General Yan Liang."
Yan Liang's telegram was sent directly to Zhao Yun.
"good."
Zhao Yun was excited after reading the telegram. With 40,000 Wusun cavalry, he had nearly 200,000 cavalry here. 200,000 cavalry was enough for him to have fun.
"Is it time to attack Gumo next?"
Ju Yi also nodded. The two most difficult points for his Northern Route Army were Qiuci and Wusun. Now that both places were captured without bloodshed, there is only one Gumo country away from Shule.
Already.
"Well, there is no need to wait for General Yan Liang. The army is setting off now and heading towards Gumo Country."
Since there is no problem with Yan Liang and Wusun is captured, there is no point in being in Qiuci. He directly orders the soldiers to go west to Gumo.
Now Zhao Yun's troops and horses, coupled with the 20,000 troops supported by Qiuci, already number 110,000. If you include Yan Liang's 130,000 cavalry, the North Route Army's troops have reached 240,000.
people.
Although Gumo's country is indeed a bit small compared to Qiuci, it is still pretty good compared to other countries in the Western Regions, with a population of nearly 30,000 and more than 5,000 soldiers.
But even so, it was not enough to face Zhao Yun's army. King Gumo was killed, and then he found an ordinary citizen to support him and became the new King Gumo. A school captain was left behind to garrison. After that, the army continued to move towards the west toward the final round.
As the Le Kingdom advanced, the wealth of the Gumo royal family and civil and military ministers were also transported to China via horse-drawn carriages.
The Shache Kingdom, like the Gumo Kingdom, has a population of nearly 30,000 and more than 4,000 troops. However, what is different from the Gumo Kingdom is that it has firmly supported the Han faction since the Western Han Dynasty, although it also rebelled against the Han Dynasty.
However, after being defeated by Ban Chao, he surrendered to the Eastern Han Dynasty again, and there was no repeat move after that.
Yuan Shu's army moved all the way west and finally reached the center of the Shache Kingdom. The King of Shache was also a wise man and directly led the civil and military forces of the country fifty miles out of the city to meet Yuan Shu's army.
"Your Majesty, Yarkand King Kelida leads the Yarkand civil and military forces to greet you outside."
