"Yes." Wu Min and the surrounding generals all responded loudly.
Wu Nian looked back at the soldiers beside him. Everyone looked tired. Starting from Yumen Pass, we rushed to the King's Department of the Right Army, marching day and night.
Everyone is tired.
This battle was a beautiful one, so I could take a proper night's rest to recharge my batteries. It can reduce casualties during subsequent battles.
Physical strength and mental concentration are so important in battle.
"Go to the gathering place of the King of the Right Army to rest and kill their cattle and sheep." Wu Nian waved his hand and ordered.
"Yes." Hojo Ushimasa responded, turned around and went down to deliver the order. Soon after, the Han army brought the Turks of the Youjunwang tribe to the gathering place of the Youjunwang tribe.
The Han army immediately confiscated the Turks' cattle, sheep, horses, and weapons, but promised to compensate the Turks in the right army's royal department when the war was over.
The Turks were very panicked. Didn’t they agree to receive preferential treatment? But nothing can be done.
This is a war between two peoples, and this is the fate of the defeated. If the Han army is defeated, the fate of the Han people will definitely not be better than that of the Turks.
The Han army immediately killed cattle and sheep, buried pots to make rice, and prepared for a feast.
However, Wu Nian will not break his promise and will definitely return the property of the Right Army King after the war. And there are other considerations than pure plunder.
Even though the royal army of the Right Army has surrendered now, the people's hearts are actually uncertain. Their horses and food were taken away, and in the middle of nowhere, they would starve to death if they dared to escape.
Later, Wu Nian would also use Turks to do some things.
After the beef was stewed, the Ouchi guards immediately came in with a hot iron pot and set up a bonfire. In the iron pot is stewed tender beef.
This kind of beef soup is much more delicious than jerky flatbread. Wu Nian made a big cake and soaked the big cake in broth. After eating until he was about 70% full, he couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep.
At this moment, Hojo Ushimasa walked in with a strange look on his face.
"What's going on?" Wu Nian shook his head and cheered up, then raised his head and asked.
"Your Majesty. King Youjun sent five women here. Hey, they are his concubines and daughters." Hojo Ushimasa coughed lightly and said.
Wu Nian asked very strangely: "Do the Turks have a tradition of keeping concubines and entertaining distinguished guests?"
"I don't know." Hojo Ushimasa shook his head.
"Give some gold to the King of Youjun and say that I am grateful to him. But send the woman back. I don't have such a preference. Besides." Wu Nian shook his head and said: "I haven't slept for several days and nights. He feels that I have not slept for a few days. Do you still have the strength?"
"Yes." Hojo Ushimasa responded, turned around and went down.
Wu Nian shook his head and asked someone to prepare hot water. I suppressed my drowsiness and took a shower before going to bed.
Along the way, he ate and pooped on the horse, and his body smelled terrible.
Every journey day and night is extremely difficult.
But there is no other way, in order to win.
Wu Nian, the great emperor of Han Dynasty, still had the conditions to take a hot bath. Ordinary soldiers just go to bed when they are full, regardless of whether their bodies stink or not.
They are all good men, and they feel energetic after a good sleep.
Early the next morning.
Wu Nian led the emperor's ministers, accompanied by the eunuchs and two large internal guards of a thousand households, to guard the right army and the king's troops, and to take care of the descendants of the right army and the king's troops, waiting for the follow-up infantry of 40,000 households.
The remaining troops were organized in units of one thousand households, or two thousand households, or three thousand households. Under the leadership of the guides and the Turks, they launched an all-out attack on the Turks' tribes in the Jungar Basin.
Climb over mountains, cross deserts, and ride on grasslands.
The Han cavalry attacked wherever they pointed.
Invasion is like fire, conquering cities and territories.
Youjun Wangbu is the outpost of the Turks in the east. When the Han army invades the Turks, they will definitely pass through Youjun Wangbu.
If the King of the Right Army had not been captured alive by Wu Min, the King of the Right Army would have successfully retreated and brought back the news.
Although the Turkic Khan had previously issued an order to be on alert, the famous kings of various ministries had indeed stepped up their alert and prepared their troops.
However, the royal army of the Right Army was completely destroyed and there was no news. The attack launched by the Han army caught the famous kings off guard.
The Han army fought successively and defeated many Turkic tribes. Famous Turkic kings either fled with a small number of followers, were captured, or were beheaded.
The Turks throughout the Jungar Basin were wailing everywhere.
........
The northern end of the Western Region and the southern part of the Altai Mountains. There are several places with abundant water and grass. One of the places is called Burqin, famous for the Burqin River.
Where there is fresh water, there is life.
Agriculture and animal husbandry here are very developed. The famous Turkic king who occupied this place was called King Burqin. It is relatively strong, with a population of 20,000 and 3,000 cavalry.
The average age of Turks is very young and there are very few old people. In this cruel Western Region, the first to die are the elderly or the infirm.
Plus half a young man, a woman.
King Burqin conscripted troops to the extreme, and he could make up thousands of soldiers and cavalry.
King Burqin has his own royal city.
This place borders Slavs, and in the past King Burzin had to fight with the Slavs. With the strong rise of the Han army, the Turks and Slavs are now in harmony.
morning.
The sun is warm.
In Burqin City, the palace hall.
King Burqin was drinking kumiss, listening to the beautiful music played by the musicians, and watching the singer's soft body dancing.
He is thirty-two years old and is in the prime of life. He is famous in Turks for his prowess in riding and shooting. He is a great warrior who is well-known throughout Turks.
Among the famous Turkic kings, he ranks high.
He was slightly drunk, which was when he felt comfortable. An official burst in with a look of fear on his face, and violently pushed the singer away without caring about her.
King Burqin frowned and was about to scold him.
The official bent down and said: "Your Majesty, some herdsmen have discovered the Han cavalry, about two thousand people. I am afraid they are approaching the royal city now."
The messenger rode on horseback, and the Han army also rode on horseback.
When the letter arrived, the Han army was almost there.
"What did you say?" King Burjin's expression changed drastically, and he stood up suddenly.
"This is impossible. How is this possible? If the Han army attacks the Western Regions, then the King of the Right Army will bear the brunt. When the King of the Right Army faces the attack of the Han army, could it be that the entire tribe surrenders?"
"What's more, our Burqin tribe is at the northernmost point of the Western Region. If the Han army wants to attack us, we have to cross the desert."
King Burqin said in disbelief.
Even though he prepared his army, he could still gather more than ten thousand miscellaneous cavalry. But the tribes are scattered all over the place, and it takes time to assemble.
The Han army was already approaching the city.
That's too late.
and. How can it be.
But he guessed correctly, the entire royal army of the Right Army had indeed surrendered.
The official was about to speak when the roar of drums rang in his ears.
"Dong dong dong!!!!"
War drums warned of an attack. King Burqin suddenly woke up and knew that this was true.
"Quickly, close the city gate and prepare to defend the city. Send people to look for herdsmen outside the city and recruit cavalry to rescue them." King Burqin took a deep breath and immediately ordered.
"Yes." The official responded in fear, turned around and left.
"What a calamity of genocide." King Burqin sat down on the stool and said in a daze.
The shadow of the battle at Yumenguan came to mind.
Although he is known as the great Turkic warrior, he is brave and good at fighting. But in front of that man who was like a demon, it was not worth mentioning.
He was present at the time and even had the opportunity to fight Wu Nian.
But he chickened out.
will die.
And this demon god arrived in the Western Region, bringing his invincible army with him.
