"Your Majesty, where shall we go next?"
At the north gate of Ankang City, Qiu Ye took advantage of the fire and led the remaining people out of the north gate towards the north of Ankang City.
On the way, a general asked.
Qiu Ye looked back at Ankang's voice, which was filled with fire, and said coldly:
"You haven't forgotten our Da Yueshi's old profession, right? Let's fight all the way to the north!
This Shanyu once heard that the Turks, the overlords of the grasslands in the former Tang Dynasty, left here all the way north after being defeated by the Tang people. Since they can leave from here, it means that we can too.
Judging from the attitude of King Yun just now, we cannot stay in this Western Region. We must first leave the Western Region all the way north, and then follow the traces left by the Turks. I believe that places that can adapt to the survival of the Turks will definitely be able to survive. Let us Da Yuezhi live! "
All the generals nodded in unison. In the past twenty years, although many new people have appeared in the army, these senior leaders still followed Shan Yu all the way out of the grassland. Now they have just returned to what they were twenty years ago. They The veteran is still capable of killing!
They will definitely be able to find a resting place for the Dayeshi people elsewhere!
The group of people headed north without looking back, and their figures gradually disappeared at the end of the road.
The gate was left at the end. The Da Yueshi now had 100,000 troops left in addition to the 100,000 troops who defended the countries in the Western Regions in the north. They had already sent them to the north in advance.
The army is moving slowly, and they will soon be able to join the army.
After reuniting with the 100,000 troops in the north, they fought their way out, first grabbing some of the entanglements on the road from the countries in the Western Regions, and then followed the northward path of the Turks recorded in the ancient books of the Xia Kingdom, looking for the Yuezhi. The next place to perch.
One day, they Da Yueshi will come back!
…
The Allied Forces Office of the Western Regions.
The army tent was encamped in the camp.
"Report! Information came from the front line. Ankang, the royal city of Guishan, was burned down. The whole city was in raging fire. However, Emperor Qiu Ye of Guishan led an army of 100,000 people to the north. He was only ten days away from the northern border!
The Kushan army in the north has received the order and started burning, killing, looting and collecting supplies everywhere! "
The heads of the countries in the Western Region are discussing the recent war, but it's actually nothing.
Because they have been confronting the 100,000-strong army left here by Kushan, they dare not take the initiative to attack the 100,000-strong army of Kushan. The Kushan side will not easily mobilize troops for the purpose of preserving their strength. The armies have been holding battle lines for almost a month, and both sides are very restrained.
Occasions like today are usually used to discuss night-time military patrols and the division of coalition patrol areas.
Unexpectedly, not long after sitting down, I heard the explosive news.
After the messenger finished telling the information one by one, everyone suddenly stood up and looked at each other with incredible expressions in their eyes.
They speculated that Guishan might not be able to stop the Yunzhou and Tatar coalition forces, but in their opinion, it was the royal city of Guishan after all, and it should be able to last at least half a month, right?
Why was it that Ankang City was destroyed no more than three days after the Yunzhou coalition forces broke through Mengkebar City?
"Are there any specific details?"
Lord Guizi asked with a frown.
The messenger immediately handed over a detailed piece of information, and Lord Guizi quickly read it and passed it on.
After everyone read it one by one, they suddenly realized that no wonder Ankang City was destroyed so quickly. It turned out that it was the Kushan Emperor Qiu Ye who set himself on fire!
After learning this detailed information, everyone couldn't help but gasped. This Qiuye was really ruthless. This was the royal city of Guishuang. It was such a pity to burn it down like this!
I heard that Ankang City has gathered the most wealth in the entire Kushan Empire. All the treasures of Daxia and Yelang were brought to Ankang City by the Dayue clan. I didn’t expect that such a city would be destroyed like this. What a worldly thing. Impermanence!
Just when everyone was still sighing, Ban Chao suddenly spoke up.
"My lords, now is not the time to lament the burning of Ankang City. According to intelligence, Qiu Ye is heading north with an army of 100,000 people and will reach the northern border in no more than ten days.
Coupled with the unusual behavior of the defenders here, we have reason to believe that Kushan is abandoning the country and fleeing!
Judging from their direction, they must be passing through the kingdoms. Are the kings prepared to stop their escape?
We had agreed at the beginning that our Yunzhou Army would be the main attack, and if the coalition forces of other countries could not enter Guishang, we would be responsible for blocking the escaping Guishang remnants. Now that the time has come, please prepare as soon as possible, otherwise you will not wait until Qiu Ye There’s no time to prepare when you arrive! "
The heads of the various countries who had been discussing the burning of Ankang City with great interest just now fell silent, but suddenly no one spoke.
If it was just the remnant troops of Kushan that were defeated, they would just block it. If the losses were greater, they would accept it.
Can……
Right now, Guishuang still has an army of 200,000 people. They don't have the confidence to stop them. But they have already made their vows before, so it would be a bit bad to regret it now.
The heads of the kingdoms were thinking about what to say, but Ban Chao saw through their thoughts at a glance and understood that these people had too many enemies and did not dare to fight.
He sneered in his heart, but he still said:
"Everyone, now is not the time to shirk. Kushan is running for his life. No matter where they go, so many people will definitely need a lot of supplies to escape.
It's definitely not enough to rely on what's left in Kushan, otherwise he wouldn't be collecting supplies from you.
So when you passed through the various countries, did you think that the other party would just pass by? "
Everyone immediately looked over, and Ban Chao continued: "According to Kushan's style of doing things, they will definitely run to grab and kill all the way. We can't guarantee which road the Kushan will take or which country they will pass through.
Don't stop them here now, wait until our Yunzhou army catches up and annihilate them.
By the time 200,000 Yuezhi people enter your country to burn, kill, and loot, it will be too late! "
Everyone was silent again.
They all understand the truth.
But... what if Kushan doesn't pass by me?
Then if I spend all my troops because of this, and in the end Kushan passes not through me but through someone else, then won’t I suffer a loss?
Many kings looked at me and I looked at you, but no one spoke.
At this time, Lord Guizi spoke: "Shi Yun, it's not that we are unwilling to stop Kuishang, but that Kuishang has a total of 200,000 people. We can barely hold on even with 100,000 people. With 200,000 people, we It’s really no match.”
As soon as he said this, others quickly agreed.
"That's right! Lord Guoshi is right! We also want to fight, but there are so many of them, we can't fight at all!
That's 200,000 Guishuang cavalry. With our strength, how can we defeat them? "
"Yes! Yes! I can't beat him! I can't beat him at all!"
Everyone was agreeing. Ban Chao looked at everything in front of him coldly and said after a while: "You don't need any cultivation to defeat these 200,000 people. I only need you to stop them for a few days, and my prince will be able to defeat them."
However, everyone fell silent.
Ban Chao closed his eyes fiercely and sighed in his heart.
With this group of insects, how can we stop the Kushan army from fleeing?
After taking a deep breath, Ban Chao walked out of the tent without saying a word. Seeing this, everyone looked at each other for a while, and then someone stood up and said:
"Everyone, now that the Kushans have begun to flee, it makes no sense for us to continue here. Our Yuehu Kingdom will withdraw its troops first. If the Kushans pass us by then, we should be prepared in advance! "
After saying that, the leader of the Moon Lake Kingdom walked out of the tent, and the other leaders of the countries in the Western Regions also stood up and said goodbye one by one.
Soon only Gui Zi and the leader of Gaochang Kingdom were left in the big tent.
After the leader of Gaochang Kingdom also stood up to leave, the leader of Guizi Kingdom also stood up and left with the corner of his mouth slightly raised.
The Kushan Kingdom is over, and it’s time for me to make some preparations.
Ban Chao had conveyed Yunzhou Army's intentions to him some time ago.
Since the Yunzhou Army was unwilling to take the initiative, he had to make preparations in advance.
He doesn't have the confidence to fight against the Yunzhou Army, but...
Ye Langguo? Hum hum, since it has perished, then don't appear on the land of the Western Region again.
The Western Region Allied Forces, which were already discordant, just left. The Western Region Allied Forces that were originally facing off against the Kushan army of 100,000 people were deserted overnight, leaving the Kushan army on the opposite side stunned.
But Ban Chao did not return to Guizi Kingdom, but took people to another place.
The prince has given an order to catch Qiu Yeque no matter what!
He must find a way to stop Guishang's fleeing army, and even if that doesn't work, he must stop Qiu Ye!
Currently, there is only one place in the entire Western Region that can help him.
And he has been famous for a long time!
