Wu Nian looked at the formation, waved his hand, and signaled the imperial guards in front to get out of the way. He rode his horse forward, pointed his riding whip at Pingba Mountain, King of Zuodu, and asked loudly: "Pingba Mountain. Although the matter has ended, but If you are willing to surrender, I will still allow you to take all your property, wives, concubines, and children with you to Fusang for retirement as per the previous conditions."
This person is still useful.
You can use your status as King Zuodu to recruit famous Turkic kings to surrender.
The situation is different now.
The Han army has occupied half of the Western Region, and its troops have reached Urumqi. The Turks lost one-third of their population, which must have shocked the whole nation.
As long as it is done properly, there will be famous Turkic kings who will lead their tribes to defect to the Han court.
Wu Nian doesn't care whether the Turks die or not. But the casualties of Han soldiers can be reduced by using tricks rather than force.
An imperial guard rode forward and spoke Wu Nian's words loudly in Turkic language.
The guards around Zuodu King Pingbashan were moved in their hearts and looked up at their king.
Ping Bashan, the king of Zuodu, raised his head and sneered. He also rode out, pointed a big gun at Wu Nian, and loudly said in Chinese: "Wu Nian. I still said the same thing. Only the king of Zuodu died in the battle." , King Zuodu who has not surrendered. Come on. Come and take my name."
He didn't want to live, he just wanted to die under Wu Nian's arms.
The dignified King of Zuodu of Turks should have a way to die worthy of his status. Being stabbed to death by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty will be written down in the history books of the Han people in the future, which is also a beautiful thing.
Wu Nian said without comment, "Shoot them."
"yes."
The Ouchi guards responded loudly, and then looked at the disbelieving eyes of Zuodu Wang Pingbashan. Countless arrows were shot out, turning Zuodu King Pingbashan and his loyal guards into hedgehogs without damaging the horses underneath them, showing the superb archery skills of Ouchi's guards.
Wu Nian said calmly: "I don't have to meet the requirements of a defeated general."
"Cut off his head and send it to Gansu and Shaanxi. Show off my martial arts and tell the people. The Turks who have been invading Gansu for many years are nothing but trivial matters here."
"Yes." Hearing this, one of the imperial guards couldn't wait to get off his horse, pulled out the steel knife from his waist, chopped off the head of Zuodu Wang Pingbashan, and wrapped it in cloth.
"Kill all the seriously injured Turks and treat the lightly injured Turks. Clean the battlefield." Wu Nian then said.
"Yes." The Ouchi guard responded loudly, leaving a hundred people behind to protect Wu Nian. The remaining people dispersed and swept the battlefield swiftly.
"There is not a single step wrong in my plan. This is the gap between national power and military power. When the Han nation is helmed by the right people, it will be invincible. It is a true war nation. More than a thousand years ago, Huo Qubing had already defeated It’s a vast ocean.”
"A thousand years ago."
Wu Nian looked at the battlefield and let out a wanton laugh.
"Hahaha."
After laughing, Wu Nian felt a little tired. He got off his horse and sat on the small bench put down by the Ouchi guard. He took a few sips of water from the kettle and ate some dry food.
But dry food doesn't work. Wu Nian raised his head and said to the Ouchi guard: "Find an iron pot and cut the horse meat to eat."
"Yes." The two Ouchi guards immediately went down to prepare. Not long after, an iron pot was ready, and fresh horse meat was put into the iron pot to stew.
The Ouchi guard didn't know where he got the condiments and put them in, and soon the aroma was fragrant.
The imperial guards from 20,000 households returned one after another.
A large number of Turkic cavalry, herdsmen, and farmers were brought back. All the Turks looked frightened and nervous.
The woman was holding the child and crying.
All kinds of sounds kept ringing.
Wu Nian looked up, his expression stern, without any sympathy. This is the destiny of the country.
The battle for national destiny.
When Wu Nian ate horse meat, he filled his stomach. The Ouchi guards are all back, and the battlefield has been cleaned up.
Weapons, armor, horses, cattle and sheep, population.
Wu Nian got on his horse and said to an imperial guard on the left: "Take a group of people and order Feng Chong and King Qi to return to Urumqi."
"Yes." The Ouchi guard responded loudly, and left with a group of people.
Immediately, under Wu Nian's order. The Han army took the Turkic population, herds of cattle, sheep and horses with them and headed for Urumqi.
............
The sun is shining and spring is blooming.
Urumqi.
Large numbers of cattle and sheep, under the command of Han soldiers, were grazing on the grass outside the city.
Many Turks, from horse-harnessing men, became hired laborers of the Han Dynasty. Under the supervision of Han soldiers, roads were built.
The fucking was in full swing.
Wherever Wu Nian fought, infrastructure was built.
It used to be the King's Department of the Right Army, but now it is Urumqi and Turpan. The road connecting the Right Army King's Department to Gansu is still under construction, while the roads to Urumqi and Turpan utilize the strong Turkic men of the Left Army King's Department.
The conditions for Turkic workers are not bad, at least they can have enough to eat. But that's it. It's common for a soldier to contract some disease and die during construction.
In addition, there were no war horses, so food and family members were all in Wu Nian's hands.
None of the Turkic hired workers chose to flee.
The women and children of the Zuodu royal tribe were divided into two parts. Some live in the city of Urumqi, and some live in the original Han army barracks outside the city.
They received rice or meat every day to barely satisfy their hunger.
Urumqi, which was originally smelly due to the overcrowded population, cattle, sheep and livestock, became clean and tidy due to the governance of the Han army.
The former Zuodu Palace is now the palace of the Emperor of Han Dynasty.
Ouchi's bodyguards, armed with swords and swords, stood guard and patrolled, full of murderous aura.
In the hall. Wu Nian, wearing a clean dragon robe and smelling of spices, sat on the main seat.
Below are the close ministers, as well as generals such as Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng, Feng Chong, Wu Min, and Xiao Yu.
Just now, Wu Min and Feng Chong came back with their troops.
Wu Nian summoned everyone and held this meeting.
Wu Nian looked up at his son and asked, "Son, what is the situation of the Turkic Khan now?"
"We are gathering combat power." Wu Min answered with cupped fists.
"Yeah." Wu Nian nodded slightly, as expected. The Western Region is vast and sparsely populated, and is divided into three parts. Now King Zuodu has perished.
The forces of King Youdu are in Central Asia, and it will take time to gather troops.
"After they learn that King Zuodu has been destroyed, they will definitely not dare to march into the army to fight to the death with the others. They will only hesitate in the Ili Valley. You can ignore them for the time being. The most important thing is ourselves, and we must act step by step."
Wu Nian patted his knees, turned to look at one person, raised his hand and introduced: "Son. This is the newly appointed governor of the Western Regions, Zhang Hong, a native of Huanglong Mansion in Liaodong. He is an old man who used to assist the Han Dynasty General Mansion."
Zhang Hong is exactly forty years old. He is still in his prime. He has an ordinary appearance but is strong and has a rosy face. At a glance, he can tell that he is a person with good health and can perform difficult tasks.
The conditions in the Western Region are difficult.
The imperial court chose and sent him here.
"Your Highness." Zhang Hong did not dare to neglect and quickly saluted Wu Min.
"Sir Zhang." Wu Min was also very polite and returned the favor with cupped fists.
Wu Nian smiled and said with high spirits: "Now half of the Western Region is in hand. The remaining half is as easy as a bag."
"It's time to make my plan public."
As he spoke, he looked at Wu Min with eyes full of smiles.
Very few people knew about the plan to honor the two emperors simultaneously.
Now is the time.
This matter needs everyone's recognition and support to continue.
