"What's wrong? Are you mute? Talk...!"
The Yuezhi King regained his energy a little, and then cursed angrily at the ministers present, "We, the Yuezhi, are a big country after all, but we were beaten by three thousand Qin troops and were unable to fight back! Is it possible that we were so defeated by three thousand Qin troops?" Can it be destroyed?"
"Your Majesty, our army failed twice in sending troops. If we say that the first time we underestimated the enemy and led to defeat, this time we were fully prepared and set off with an army of 120,000 people. Only two people came back, which shows that the strength of the Qin army cannot be underestimated. Look at it!"
"Yes! After the Qin army destroyed the Xiongnu, they also destroyed three kingdoms in a row. They must have the legendary mysterious weapons. I guess they will pursue the victory. The next step is our Yuezhi King's City!"
"According to the current situation, we need to recall Loulan's troops as soon as possible, and send someone to notify Wusun and ask them to send troops to cooperate. Otherwise, our Yuezhi city will be destroyed, and Wusun will not be able to survive alone...!"
Under the pressure of King Yuezhi, several ministers reluctantly spoke.
Although I don’t know if saying this will make the Yuezhi King furious, but this is the last resort!
Once the Qin army really invades the royal city, not to mention their lives, even the lives of their families will be in danger!
"But... Loulan has been attacking for nearly twenty days. Maybe if we persist a little longer, we can take them all!"
King Yuezhi frowned.
I don’t want to give up the Loulan I’m about to get, but I also want to protect the country!
"Your Majesty! Erjiu can't be attacked. It costs a lot of food and grass! Why don't we put it aside first and save the Yuezhi!"
"That's right! The tall buildings in Loulan City are not easy to capture. If we don't drive the Qin army away first, even if we capture Loulan, it will be of no use!"
"Your Majesty, Loulan is right there and can't escape. Why don't we two work together to drive the Qin army away first? It's not too late to turn back and deal with Loulan...!"
The ministers tried their best to persuade me.
"this……"
King Yuezhi held his chin in his hands and thought.
To be honest, he has always coveted Loulan's wealth and the queen's beauty, and now he is really reluctant to give up!
But now the Yuezhi can mobilize only 20,000 troops.
According to the current situation, it is simply not enough.
Wangcheng, Loulan!
After some comparisons, King Yuezhi finally made up his mind, "Okay! It's up to you to immediately send people to Wusun and Loulan to persuade Wusun on the one hand, and to bring the army back quickly! Hurry! Must be quick! "
"yes!"
One of the ministers took the order and quickly turned around and ran out.
Although they have never seen the strength of the Qin army, the entire army of 120,000 people was wiped out, which shows that its strength is not trivial!
…
"Your Highness, we will reach the Yuezhi King's City in less than a hundred miles. Can we speed up our march?"
After the governor of Longxi County arrived at Nanma City with his people, the Flying Eagle Team handed them all the trophies they had sorted out and the living war horses, and then set off to the Yuezhi King's City.
As long as the Yuezhi King is destroyed, the entire Yuezhi will be finished.
"No! We are stationed fifty miles away from the royal city. Don't enter the royal city first!"
Ying Feiyu opened the curtain of the carriage with one hand and spoke.
In order to save Wang Wan from the hardship, Xiao Zhengtai specially found a carriage in Nanma City. Although it was not as luxurious as the one in Xianyang, it was much better than riding on a horse!
"Not entering the royal city? Why?"
The soldiers didn't know why.
"Although it is easy to capture the royal city, if you were a Yuezhi soldier and the royal city was attacked and the Yuezhi King was killed, would you still resist?"
"That's definitely not the case. The country is gone. How can we resist? Haha!"
"That's right. Once these soldiers escape, they will rebel in the future. Even if they don't have the strength to rebel, they will still hurt the people of Great Qin. Why don't we deal with them all together!"
"Yes! His Highness the Crown Prince is right...!"
The soldiers suddenly realized.
Unlike ordinary people, soldiers have received training, and the word loyalty is engraved in their minds!
Once they run away, some of them will be restless!
Even if the people of Great Qin immigrate here in the future, it will be difficult to assimilate them!
The people are different. As long as the policies above are good and the people are fed and clothed, it doesn't matter who rules, it's all the same!
"If we walk another fifty miles, it will be dark and we can camp!"
After receiving the order, the soldiers galloped forward with their horses galloping forward.
…
In the evening, Yuezhi Royal City received news again.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, the Qin army has arrived fifty miles outside the royal city!"
"What? Fifty miles?"
King Yuezhi's heart suddenly sank.
If that's the case, wouldn't it mean that we are about to attack the royal city?
"Hurry... call all the ministers to the palace quickly!"
At this time, King Yuezhi was no longer calm.
In just a few days, the Qin army had already reached the city.
If the previous situation were to go by, the 20,000 people in the city would not be enough for them to fight.
"yes!"
The guard took the order and went to do it quickly.
Half an hour later, all the ministers had almost arrived.
Because they arrived in such a hurry, some ministers didn't even tidy up their official uniforms, and their buns were in a mess.
"What should we do? Come up with an idea quickly! The Qin army is fifty miles outside the city now! They may attack at any time!"
King Yuezhi paced back and forth in the main hall, anxious.
"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Although the Qin army is powerful on the battlefield, they don't have ladders, so they may not be able to attack them in a short time!"
One of the ministers comforted him.
"Yes, yes, Loulan is a small country, and I, the Yuezhi, have been attacking it for so long. It is impossible for the Qin army to invade the royal city so quickly! You are right! Send the order and close the city gate. No one is allowed without my order. Open!"
This sentence made King Yuezhi feel a lot more relieved, and he quickly ordered people to close the city gate.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the city gate has rarely been opened in the past two days!"
The Yueshi are already in chaos, and the people are quietly staying at home. If nothing serious happens, who will run out of the city?
So the city gate has almost never been opened in the past two days!
"Okay, okay, just don't open it. You must defend the royal city. Otherwise, if the Qin army enters the city, not only will you die, but we, too, will not survive!"
The Yuezhi King sternly scolded.
"By the way, is there any news from Wusun? What did you say? Has the news from Loulan been sent to you? Has the army returned to the city?"
King Yuezhi, who was ambitious before and looked down upon the Qin Dynasty, is now afraid.
After all, the journey is only fifty miles. If you ride a fast horse, you can reach it in one day. There is a possibility of attacking the city at any time!
"Back to the king, under the persuasion of General Sun, Wusun has promised to use all the troops of the country to unite with the Yueshi to fight against the Qin army. The king can rest assured!"
A minister came out to report.
"Okay, okay, that's fun for Wusun! Where's Loulan? How's it going?"
"We have broken camp and returned to the court. We should be on the road now!"
"Okay! Send someone to urge them first, so that they can travel day and night and come back as quickly as possible! After destroying the Qin army, I will give you many rewards!"
"yes……!"
