Xiaowan divided his troops and surrounded the east and west gates of Wusun City. The allied forces of Wusun and Dayue guarded the east and west gates respectively.
Last night, Dayue's army opened the west city gate and declared its submission to Xiaowan.
General Dayue acted very principledly. After they left the city, they had the city gate closed and did not introduce the Xiaowan army into Wusun City.
General Xiaowan accepted Dayue's surrender and confiscated their weapons, but he did not form a coalition with them. Instead, he assigned part of his troops to guard the surrendered troops, while the rest continued to besiege Dayue City.
Tang Ning was not worried that this was Da Yue's plan. With Lao Zheng there, if they faked surrender, they would only pay a heavier price.
After Dayue surrendered, Xiaowan's pressure was immediately reduced by half. In contrast, Wusun had to face Xiaowan's army independently.
Tang Ning looked at Mr. Xu and asked, "What did General Zheng say?"
When General Zheng was mentioned, even Mr. Xu showed a hint of admiration on his face. Before he went to the military camp, Xiaowan could only be tied with Dayue Wusun, but after he took over as commander-in-chief, Xiaowan had no
Lost a battle once.
It can be said that the reason why Dayue surrendered so quickly was largely because the Xiaowan army he led was invincible and invincible.
He looked at Tang Ning and said, "General Zheng said that Wusun can be captured within half a month."
Lao Zheng would never speak out loud about this kind of thing, so Tang Ning could just wait here for good news from him.
The news of Dayue's surrender soon spread throughout Xiaowan City.
This was another great victory for Xiaowan. The people all cheered, sang and danced. The small countries that had surrendered earlier were also secretly glad in their hearts, glad that they had made such a wise decision early.
Compared with the excitement of the people of Xiaowan, Wusun, from the officials to the common people, felt as if a huge stone was weighing on their hearts, as if dark clouds were pressing down on their heads.
They teamed up with Dayue, and they were no match for Xiaowan. Now that they had lost Dayue, their strength was only half of what it was before, but their opponent had a powerful helper.
With such a huge disparity in strength, it is only a matter of time before Wusun City is destroyed.
Within the imperial city, the main hall where the ministers usually used to discuss matters was very quiet at the moment. No one from the king or the ministers spoke.
Everyone looked serious and could not hide their sadness.
They are Wusun people, and they are proud of being a superpower, but no matter how proud they are, they have to admit at this moment that the Wusun country has reached a moment of life and death.
The leader of Wusun Kingdom was sitting above him, his face was pale and bloodless, and his straight spine was also bent.
As the leader of the country, he has no choice but to bear the responsibility for Wusun's situation.
Now Xiaowan's army is watching eagerly outside the city, and there is not much time left for them.
An old minister walked forward tremblingly and said in a hoarse voice: "Master, we must make a decision quickly..."
Another young minister raised his head with difficulty and said: "Xiaowan is strong and we are no match for them. Now they have Dayue and Western Region allies to help them. If Wusun continues to resist, it will only increase unnecessary casualties. We, we
…”
There was extreme depression in his voice. After a long time, he exhaled a breath and gritted his teeth and said, "Let's surrender!"
After saying this, his face suddenly relaxed and he said: "I have inquired about it. If you submit to Xiaowan, you can keep the country's name. They only want military power and will not interfere in other countries' internal affairs..."
"Bastard!" An old man pointed at him, his fingers trembling, his eyes bulging out, and he said angrily: "We, the common soldiers of Wusun, are greedy for life and afraid of death. How can we surrender?"
"Without military power, the power of life and death will be in the hands of others. What is the difference between that and the subjugation of the country..."
"How could you say such stupid things!"
…
The old ministers reprimanded him one after another, while other people in the palace lowered their heads deeply, neither agreeing nor objecting. But in this case, without fierce opposition, they agreed.
The young official was scolded by everyone, his face turned red, and he shouted angrily: "You want to die, are you dragging my two hundred thousand people in Wusun with you?"
After being questioned, everyone stood there blankly and stopped making any sound for a while.
"That's enough." At this moment, a hoarse voice came from above.
Everyone looked at the king who stood up slowly, as if he had aged much in an instant, and murmured: "The king..."
Lord Wusun waved his hand and glanced around the hall for a long time. A trace of reluctance appeared on his face, and he said word by word: "Let's surrender..."
…
The time to capture Wusun was more than ten days earlier than what Lao Zheng said, because on the third day after Dayue surrendered, Wusun opened the country and declared its submission to Xiaowan.
Tang Ning thought they would persist for a while longer. After all, Wusun was also a superpower with a population of hundreds of thousands. She didn't expect them to see the general trend and make a choice so quickly.
Wusun's submission indicates that Xiaowan has finally unified the Western Regions. Over the years, many countries have been annexed by the three major powers. Now that Dayue and Wusun have submitted, Xiaowan can finally unite the power of the entire Western Regions.
, can mobilize an army of more than 400,000 at any time.
Although Dayue Wusun and the Western Region allies retained their country names and political powers, the royal families of each country no longer held military power, leaving only a small number of guards. The rest of the soldiers and generals were disrupted and reorganized into small groups.
Under Wan's command.
Tang Ning spent ten days discussing with Mr. Xu and others the policies for governing the Western Regions and the future path for the Western Regions.
First of all, it is naturally the attitude towards the countries in the Western Regions. This can continue the national laws before Xiaowan.
There are differences in the size of the country, but the citizens of each country are not high or low. The people of Wusun and Dayue are no more noble than Huhu and Cheshi. Even the people of Xiaowan are equal to them in terms of status.
Secondly, we must open up trade routes in the Western Regions, create favorable conditions for merchants from various countries, and promote the commercial development of the Western Regions.
To accomplish this, the horse thieves scattered in the Western Region must be eliminated or subdued. Without a safe environment, which businessman can safely travel through the desert?
In addition, there were other detailed and complicated matters. Tang Ning just pointed out the general direction for them and left them all to Mr. Xu for implementation.
After completing these things, he, Tang Yaoyao and his party left Xiaowan and embarked on the return journey.
At the same time, the news that Xiaowan conquered Dayue Wusun and unified the Western Regions quickly spread to Chen State, Chu State, grassland, and Guizhou...
A unified country emerged in the Western Region. This incident directly changed the situation on this continent, setting off waves of shocking storms wherever they heard the news...
