Ping Bashan, the king of Zuodu, really asked the right person. The nobles under his command were even more at a loss than he was, and there was silence in the hall.
The face of Zuodu Wang Pingbasan became increasingly ugly.
After a long time, an old nobleman stood up and said: "Your Majesty. It seems now that the Han army divided its forces to attack the famous kings of each tribe. In the end, they must have gathered all their forces to attack Urumqi and Turpan."
"Our troops are not strong enough. We should withdraw Turpan's population, cavalry, cattle, sheep, and food before the Han army attacks, and guard Urumqi. In addition, we should immediately send people to the royal court to ask for help from the Great Khan."
After hearing these words, Ping Bashan, the king of Zuodu, looked even worse.
The Turpan Basin and the Urumqi Basin are his only two territories. There is no war yet, do you have to give up a piece of territory?
this! ! ! !
If he had been in the past, he would have cursed and flatly refused. But before Yumen Pass, he was taught a lesson.
At that time, one hundred thousand Turkic cavalry faced thousands of Han cavalry, and they were all defeated.
What's more, he only has 15,000 elite cavalry in his hands now?
After a battle between heaven and man, Ping Bashan, the king of Zuodu, kicked over the desk in front of him, clenched his hands into fists, and shouted in humiliation: "That's it."
"In addition, recruit herdsmen, increase the number of troops, and increase the number of troops."
The men who harness the horses are natural cavalry and do not need training. They also bring their own machetes, bows and arrows, and even dry food.
But these temporarily recruited cavalry are all miscellaneous cavalry and have no armor.
In the battle with the Han army, these miscellaneous cavalry were just an egg against a stone.
But it's better than nothing, there's strength in numbers, and at worst it can be bluffing.
"Yes." The nobles responded loudly, and immediately stood up and went down to prepare.
"Ah!!!!!!!" Ping Bashan, the king of Zuodu, roared, and then he went crazy, pulled out the scimitar from his waist, and slashed the scimitar in the hall, destroying the splendid hall. What a mess.
Incompetence and rage cannot stop the invasion of the Han army.
The Han cavalry was like a torrent of steel.
The Zuodu King's tribe voluntarily abandoned the Turpan Basin, reduced the population, and recruited miscellaneous cavalry. News from various ministries in Jungar also came one after another.
It was really all wiped out.
The Zuodu King Tribe is very powerful and is one of the three major tribes of the Turks. But many people have psychological shadows about the Han army, and the tribes on Zhungeer were almost completely wiped out.
Moreover, although King Pingbashan of Zuodu asked for help from the Turkic Khan, it took a long time to come back and forth, plus the gathering of cavalry.
The Han cavalry did not wait for anyone.
The cavalry charge was coming soon.
The entire Turkic people in Zuodu King's tribe are panic-stricken.
They felt it personally.
What is the heroic style of Han Dynasty?
What a terrible storm.
.............
"drive!!!!"
In the Gobi Desert, even if there are roads, they are not obvious. A guide is required, otherwise you may get lost. Numerous cavalrymen of the Han army headed for Turpan, carrying more horses, cattle and sheep carrying supplies.
Connected from front to back, there is no end in sight.
The middle position of the team. Wu Nian, Wang Gui and the emperor's ministers rode forward together.
King Qi and Feng Chong in the front were traveling day and night.
Wu Nian and others were marching normally.
Wu Nian was in good spirits.
"Da da da!!!" Suddenly, a group of cavalry came in the opposite direction from the front, and soon they came to Wu Nian.
Wu Nian reined in his horse and stopped, looking up.
A cavalryman bent down and reported: "Your Majesty. This villain is the King of Qi's personal soldier, delivering the news. King Pingbashan of Zuodu has withdrawn the army and population from Turpan. At present, King Qi and General Feng have occupied the city of Turpan and are herding horses. Turpan.”
"Concentrate your strength to avoid being defeated one by one?" Wu Nian nodded slightly, this Zuodu King had some brains.
But in the face of the combat power of the Han army and the national power of the Han Dynasty, it was just a small skill.
Wu Nian turned to a civil official and said: "Send an order to King Qi and Feng Chong. Let them march to Urumqi immediately. Bypass the city, go to the west, and make a gesture to block the enemy's reinforcements."
"Yes." The civil servant responded immediately, took a team of Ouchi guards and two guides, separated from the large group of people, and headed forward.
"Your Majesty's wonderful plan." Hojo Umasa immediately clasped his fists and said with a smile.
"It's a conspiracy." Wang Gui also said with a smile.
Surround the spot for reinforcements.
This is a traditional method of the Han army, and it is also a genuine conspiracy.
King Pingba Shan of Zuodu retreated to Urumqi, and he would definitely ask for help from the Turkic Khan. Feng Chong and King Qi's 20,000 elite cavalry were not afraid of any Turks.
The Turkic Khan came to the rescue and defeated the Turkic Khan's troops.
If the Turkic Khan did not dare to fight, Wu Nian's 20,000 cavalry troops would arrive at the gates of Urumqi and keep an eye on Urumqi. You don't even need to surround them, just keep an eye on them.
Although the Turks are semi-agrarian and semi-nomadic, they are mainly nomadic. There is not much food.
The entire population of the Zuodu King tribe is gathered in Urumqi. They eat cattle and sheep every day, and sooner or later they will run out. And if there is no fodder, cattle and sheep will starve to death.
When the Han army approaches the city, how can the Turks herd sheep?
Although King Zuodu is still alive, he is already dead.
Either they starved to death in the city, or they were defeated by the Han army when they fled.
There is no third way.
Half of the Western Region belongs to the Han army.
Next, there is the Turkic Khanate.
As for Central Asia, forget it.
Wu Nian entrusted it to his son.
This incident was just a minor episode in the Han army's march. Wu Nian continued to command 20,000 household guards, brought groups of cattle, sheep, and horses, and headed for Turpan.
............
In the Turpan Basin, the Turks are not said to be extinct, but they are very few. Abandoned villages, abandoned tribal gathering places.
After Qi King Wu Min and General Feng Chong arrived at Turpan City, they rested while waiting for Wu Nian's order.
They came here day and night, ready to fight.
Now that the battle has not been won, the Turks have fled on their own. I don’t have the energy to advance to Urumqi for the time being. Besides, the food can’t keep up.
Have to wait for the cattle and sheep behind.
The army rested for two days.
afternoon.
Wu Min, who had regained his energy, wore heavy armor and took dozens of soldiers to wander around the city of Turpan. Finally, he climbed to the top of the city and looked at this fertile land, filled with longing in his heart.
"Father said. There is also a lot of fertile land in Central Asia, especially along the coast of the Mediterranean. In the battle in the Western Regions, the Han army will definitely win. It won't be long before I conquer Central Asia."
Wu Min's heart was filled with excitement. From then on, Qingpeng ascended to the sky and skyrocketed. But while he was excited, he was also a little sad.
At that time, I also said goodbye to my parents.
He took his small family to develop the country of Qi.
Fortunately, my father has many children, and I have younger brothers to help me fulfill my filial piety.
The relationship between the mother and the queen is harmonious and she will not be lonely. When the time comes, I will also leave my two sons in the capital to serve their mother.
Wu Min has been married for many years and has many wives and concubines.
Have many children.
