"What! The countries in the Western Regions have rebelled! How dare they?!"
When Qiu Ye learned the news, he was shocked. Not only him, but also the civil and military officials in the court couldn't believe the news.
The countries in the Western Regions were overthrown and surrendered by the Great Yueshi. How could they dare to stab the Great Yueshi in the back? They were too brave, right?
Aren't you afraid that Guishang will settle accounts with them later?
The messenger who came back with the news said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, when we followed Ambassador Yesu to the countries in the Western Regions to announce your order, the King of Guizi Kingdom immediately sent troops to capture us, and also put Ambassador Yesu on a wooden shelf. He was burned alive, saying he was using it as a sacrificial flag.
If I hadn't been told to keep me back to deliver the message, I'm afraid I would have been thrown into the fire as firewood.
Your Majesty, they don’t take our Kushan seriously! "
Qiu Ye was furious after hearing this, but he suppressed his anger for the time being and asked: "Where did Gui Ziguo get the courage to dare to attack you? Who gave them the courage?"
The messenger immediately said: "Your Majesty, I saw Ban Chao, the ambassador of Yunzhou County who came to us for the first time in Guizi Kingdom some time ago. I guess it's because of him!"
"he!?"
The eyes of the Guishuang monarchs and ministers all widened. They never expected that Ban Chao would actually go to Guizi Country. No wonder they couldn't find them at home or at the border with a massive search! Where did it go!
But then the Guishuang monarchs and ministers became furious!
You Banchao, you not only killed the Huns envoys in our country, but also killed our Royal Guards, which caused big trouble for Guishang!
Unexpectedly, after escaping to Guizi Country, he was still acting like a monster, inciting the countries in the Western Regions to rebel. He was really damned!
After reacting, everyone in the court immediately shouted to attack the countries in the Western Regions, to show them some color, and let them see how powerful Lord Ma is, and how dare he go against Guishuang to seek death!
But at this moment, someone suddenly said weakly: "The Yunzhou Army and the Tatars are about to attack the royal city. Shouldn't we mobilize our troops to repel them first?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone calmed down instantly, and no one shouted out that they wanted to attack the countries in the Western Regions.
Yes, now that we can hardly protect ourselves, we are still sending troops to attack the Western Regions. Let’s protect ourselves first!
Qiu Ye rubbed his forehead with a headache. Now the enemies are almost coming home, and there is another problem with the logistics base (the countries in the Western Regions). What should we do?
After thinking about it, he couldn't think of a way, so he asked the officials below: "Is there any way you can find enough logistics supplies for Kushan?"
All the officials looked at each other in confusion, and no one spoke. However, at this moment, someone suddenly said: "If it doesn't work, just implement the wartime recruitment order, right?"
As soon as these words came out, the Kushan court immediately fell into silence, and everyone looked at the official who spoke with disbelief.
The so-called wartime collection order refers to the policy that the Kushan Empire's army can use any means to obtain supplies from the domestic people during emergencies. The local government will also follow the instructions of the superiors to collect needed materials from the local people at any time according to the needs. Materials, the people must cooperate.
To put it politely, this kind of behavior is robbery, and it is robbery supported by policies!
So when they heard someone talking about coming up with this bill that had been implemented specifically for the Xia people when the Da Yueshi had just taken over Daxia, everyone was confused!
Now in the Guishang Kingdom, Dayue people and Xia people live together. Are you doing this because you want to rob both sides?
The officials who were born in the Xia people looked at the person who proposed this proposal with extremely angry expressions, a big Yuezhi military general!
Qiu Ye was also shocked by this suggestion. While he was still thinking about how that fool dared to propose such an idea, the Xia officials below had already begun to impeach the Da Yuezhi who had just proposed this suggestion. A military commander.
"Your Majesty, please grant Hu Yantuo death! He is digging at the foundation of Guishuang!"
"Your Majesty! He wants Guishang to collapse without a fight!"
"Your Majesty, the Xia people are now also subjects of the Kushan Empire!"
"His Majesty……"
When the general saw the public outrage, he immediately shrank his neck. However, as these Xia officials impeached him more and more, he couldn't bear it any more. When he stood up, he retorted: "There is no need for a wartime recruitment order. So tell me where we are going to get logistics?
There are six to seven hundred thousand troops on the opposite side. Driving them out of Guishuang's country will definitely not happen overnight. It will definitely take a long time to fight.
But if our army has no logistics, are you going to let the Kushan warriors go to the battlefield hungry? "
The civil servants stopped talking, but Qiu Ye frowned and said nothing. This is a real problem, where will the logistics come from?
Guishan's treasury has a lot of gold and silver, but this stuff can neither be eaten nor drunk. Now the countries in the Western Region have directly turned against it. Even if they have money, they can't find a place to buy things.
There was no way to provide the army with food and other critical supplies.
After hesitating for a long time, Qiu Ye finally made up his mind and said: "There is no other way. Now the only way is the wartime recruitment order, but this time the recruitment order is not only for the Xia people, even the Dayue people will also be included." Collection, do you have any objections?"
Qiu Ye turned to look at the Daxia civil servants. The civil servants couldn't think of any other good ideas for a while, so they could only nod their heads.
The Da Yuezhi generals over there were about to say something, but Qiu Ye silenced them with a glare.
Immediately, the court began to make arrangements to fight against the Tatars and Yunzhou Army soldiers.
The original idea of mobilizing all the troops from across the country is gone. The countries in the Western Regions have rebelled, and they must deploy troops at the borders. Otherwise, when the fight with the Tatars becomes fierce, the Western Regions will come from behind and kill you for a thousand years. It will definitely be unbearable. No.
As a result, there are not many troops that Guishang can mobilize. Preliminary statistics show that the total number of troops will not exceed 400,000, but if auxiliary troops and the like are added, it can be called 600,000.
The Guishang officials believe that with a comparable military force, they can delay or block the opponent, right?
As for the Western Region, we can only guard and prevent them from causing trouble. We have no time to control them now.
After discussing everything, they began to retreat from the court. The civil servants all left in a hurry. They had to go back quickly to make preparations and notify the people who should be notified about the recruitment order.
However, Qiu Ye asked people to stay on Da Yueshi Wuxun's side.
Qiu Ye, who had just left, sat back after the civil servants left and said to the martial officers: "Although I said that Dayue people and Xia people are treated equally, it is the army that executes the recruitment order. You should all know what to do. Alright?"
Some smart people guessed Qiu Yeque's thoughts and immediately said: "Your Majesty, do you mean that we will only recruit Xia people during the actual recruitment?"
Qiu Ye nodded and said slowly: "Remember, we are from the Dayue clan, and they are just Yixia people who were defeated by us. We are different!"
The generals all understood and began to prepare one by one.
Although Qiu Yeqi's behavior raised enough supplies for Guishang, who was short of supplies, in a short period of time, what she didn't know was that it also laid the source of unrest for Guishang!
