Reguli.
Waiting for the Loulan soldiers.
At this time, he was sitting on the ground blankly, his eyes staring at the vultures roasting in the bonfire, each one lost in thought.
Each vulture carries a letter asking for help!
"The ghost city is broken and the driver is in danger!"
"Please ask the Governor of Kucha to send troops to help immediately!"
These people fell into a trance in an instant.
Ghost city, broken? The ghost army was defeated?
Is the Protector really sent by Allah to clean up the ghosts? None of these people dare to believe this fact. However, these letters asking for help cannot be faked.
Feel the difference?
Feeling humiliated?
The Yinzhou Army of the Protector of the Country easily captured the Ghost Army, but what about us? Just Qiuci gave us a painful blow, and it was heartbreaking!
"Rose, a bunch of losers! What else can we eat? Let's set off immediately and meet up with the protector of the country!"
Reguli almost shouted.
At this time, no one of those generals who were flamboyant in Loulanhua dared to refute. Although they were reluctant to part with the vulture meat, they still took their time to reorganize their troops. Hit the road!
Only by following the protector of the country can we have meat to eat!
…
Liu Zheng's eyes were shining with wisdom at this moment: "If the world is about to be in chaos, we must take precautions. My father's title has never been in the nobility. No matter how strong Yinzhou is, I am afraid that he will become the target of public criticism."
Everyone was slightly shocked.
Liu Dahao's eyes also twinkled.
really.
In this era, if you want to compete in the world, you really need some identity. It is really difficult for ordinary people to start from scratch. Either a vassal king or a noble has the right to lead troops to fight. This is the reality!
County Marquis, State Marquis, these unpopular titles were originally created by the Longyan Dynasty to make money. Just like the "Yuanwailang" before that, you can get it by donating money.
In Longyan, the title recognized as more "popular" is still that of Duke Bozinan.
Poor Liu Dahao doesn't even have a baron now, so Liu Zheng said that he was not in the mainstream, which was not an insult, but a reality.
Although there is a position of military governor of the Western Regions at this time, it is still feasible.
However……
What Liu Zheng was worried about was that once he conquered the Western Region, he would be deprived of military power when he returned. Where would he be able to reason?
Qingyang Shuo instantly caught the meaning of Liu Zheng's words and took a deep breath: "Young master, do you want to hide your troops in the Western Regions?"
Liu Zheng laughed and said: "Mr. Mister knows me! Therefore, what Zheng wants is an empty city! Not only an empty city, Zheng also wants to build a city out of thin air!"
He pointed at the desert of the Western Region and said with great pride: "Lang Lang, the Western Region is vast and sparsely populated. Isn't it a good place for our Yinzhou to hide our troops?"
Liu Dahao asked out of curiosity: "Son, how do you hide your troops?"
Everyone was also puzzled.
Since ancient times, there have been many protective palaces in the Western Region, but to be honest, who wants to come to this place where birds don’t shit? Those soldiers don’t want to come either! It has always been those who were exiled who would go to such remote places to perform meritorious service in the army in order to restore their status as free citizens.
But what Liu Zheng meant was that he wanted to hide hundreds of thousands of troops?
How can this be?
Liu Zheng smiled and said: "Then we'll kill the driver first and then we'll talk!"
Without further ado, give the order.
The Yinzhou Army commanded by Qin Changfeng has already launched a general attack on this chariot division. With Liu Zheng's order, the Yinzhou Army didn't care whether soldiers were defending the city or civilians were defending the city. It was a completely indiscriminate attack.
What is important?
As long as they are hostile, they are enemies!
Jiao Zhe wanted to use the common people to drag down the Yinzhou Army, but this idea was completely wrong. As the saying goes, kindness does not control soldiers, Liu Zheng has never been a rigid person.
I've said this before.
Want to occupy a place, want to "colonize" a place. There are three ways, one is to kill all the people in this place, one is to support a puppet government, and the other is for the monarch to live and manage this place personally.
so.
If you want to truly capture the driver, you must either kill them all or let them run away!
There are only 30,000 chariot troops left. What kind of puppet does Liu Zheng want? It is impossible for him and Liu Dahao to live here forever, so there is only the first way.
"kill!"
"Keep rushing!"
An army of 150,000 people began to charge and attack the city in turns.
Jiao Zhe was dumbfounded.
"Long Yan, isn't he known as the teacher of benevolence and righteousness? Why don't they care about the lives of the people!"
"asshole!"
"A bunch of unreasonable guys!"
He was about to vomit blood.
Why don't you follow the routine?
They must be criticized verbally and writtenly to make people aware of the "evil deeds" of this Long Yan army! However, this also requires him to be alive.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I can't hold on any longer!"
"The city gate has been broken..."
"They are attacking too hard!"
The gate of Cheshi City was not majestic and strong enough to defend, so it could not withstand such an attack by the Yinzhou Army. Not only the common people, but also the charioteers and soldiers were unable to resist. They were running away one after another, leaving corpses strewn all over the city.
"Your Majesty, run away quickly, keep the green hills and don't worry about running out of firewood!"
"Your Majesty! Ximen is fine!"
Several generals, regardless of whether Jiao Zhetong agreed or not, did not give him time and opportunity to think about it. If the charioteer was gone, where would there be green mountains and firewood? He captured Jiao Zhe and ran to the west of the city. No matter how hard Jiao Zhe resisted, it was of no use at this time - you are already the commander-in-chief of the chariot division, and you are no longer a king. Who cares about you?
We just want to survive!
When the soldiers saw it, these big guys were running away, and so were we!
When the people saw it, all the soldiers ran away, so why should we still defend the hammer? run!
Therefore, under the fierce attack of the Yinzhou Army for two hours, the Che Division finally collapsed.
Attack one and miss three, let these people design the direction and route of escape from the beginning. Just waiting for an opportunity - the city is broken, it's time to run away.
With a sound of the horn, the entire Yinzhou Army rushed into Che Division and began to harvest the remaining troops of Che Division.
The whole army was victorious and cheered endlessly.
The Yinzhou Army has been marching for a month and can finally take a good rest. Winning the driver means that they have won the first stop in the Western Region. From now on, they will have a transfer station for personnel reorganization, equipment, and grain transportation.
Liu Dahao, Liu Zheng and others also rode slowly into the city.
"Ah? Is this the driver?"
Liu Dahao's whole face fell when he saw the appearance of Cheshi City. The mountains and plains are covered with dirt, and there isn't even a decent building. Isn't this similar to what it looked like when I first went to Yinzhou?
Liu Zheng chuckled and said: "The Western Regions were once full of nomadic peoples. After being ruled by Xie Laoer, farming began. After more than thirty years, the results have begun to show. In fact, it is not easy."
Everyone walked around and found that the unique climate and environment of the Western Region only produced grapes, cotton, and dried fruits, but Liu Zheng knew that this land contained treasures...
"This palace of the Chariot King is quite nice!"
When Liu Dahao saw the golden palace, he immediately became excited.
Liu Zheng immediately ordered the entire army to station chariot divisions to rest and reorganize. There are still some people in the city who have not left, and they are all detained and used as slaves - this is also the practice of this era. At this time, people in Cheshi City were in panic, and Liu Zheng didn't want any night walkers to appear to assassinate them.
In the evening, I can finally have a good meal.
Everyone gathered together, changing cups and cups, and they were in a happy mood.
Qingyang Shuo was still curious and asked: "Sir, the strategy of hiding troops that I mentioned today..."
Liu Zheng smiled and said: "This matter is actually not difficult to understand. What Zheng wants is an empty city! This Cheshi City will be built by our 150,000 Yinzhou Army!"
Several people looked at each other in shock.
Liu Zheng continued: "Create a Western Region Construction Corps and take root here as a militia!"
Western Region Construction Corps?
Everyone couldn't understand it again.
Liu Zheng smiled and said: "Yes, the Western Region Construction Corps is a 'quasi-military entity'. It can have its own administrative agencies and government agencies, and manage internal administrative and judicial affairs on its own. Yinzhou will give the Corps the responsibility of reclaiming land and guarding the border. .”
He said that everyone was stunned.
Liu Zheng scratched his head and thought for a moment, then said: "You can also understand that this is a company that is accused of military, administrative, farming, reclamation, construction, border guarding, etc.!"
company!
Liu Zheng had already explained this concept before, so these people understood it as soon as they heard it.
Qingyang Shuolue said excitedly: "Give the governance power to the Corps and be responsible for its own profits and losses?"
Liu Zheng smiled and nodded: "Yes, and the Western Region Construction Corps will never pay taxes for the first hundred years!"
Everyone in the audience was in an uproar at the same time.
The military generals here also have flashing eyes and are ready to make a move.
The Western Region is a treasure land, and with the development of history, its strategic position will become more and more important. In fact, since ancient times, the Han Dynasty, Sui and Tang Dynasties, Ming and Qing Dynasties have all tried their best to control the Western Regions. Unfortunately, they either only sent officials or troops to complete the task of guarding the border...
There are very few people who actually participate in the construction.
Therefore, this precious land in the Western Region was lost again and again, and was beaten back and forth.
In this case, why not just set up a construction corps to really build up this Western Region!
Although the Western Region seems barren, Liu Zheng can delegate power to the Corps! You can work as much as you like. Once a piece of land is managed, it belongs to you. You can divide the money you make! Just accept the management of our Yinzhou.
This will surely make those who are unwilling to come become enthusiastic.
Who doesn’t want to carve out a home of their own?
Who wouldn't want to try their luck here if they couldn't survive in the Long Yan Dynasty that imposed excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes? As a result, wouldn't the size of the construction corps be like a snowball and get out of control?
Qingyang Shuodu took a deep breath: "At that time, the imperial court will not know how many soldiers are hidden in the Western Regions. If the world is really in chaos..."
Liu Zheng laughed and said: "With a wave of his hand, the sword points at the Central Plains!"
"Young Master is a great talent!"
The crowd burst into laughter.
