Huo Qubing walked into the small courtyard where Zhang Jun died and glanced around.
The courtyard has been razed to the ground, with no remnants left.
The city was filled with a strong smell of blood. Too many people had been beheaded, and they were bleeding profusely.
All those who could fight in Dayuezhi, Kangju, and Dayuan were beheaded.
They rushed over to meet up after it got dark. Bai Nanyu and Song Ran, who had just entered the city, accompanied Huo Qubing.
Song Ran's face turned pale.
This was the first time she had seen Huo Qubing unleash his thunderous wrath, so fiercely.
Bai Nanyu's peach blossom eyes flickered under her bronze mask, and she looked around, silent.
"Master Marquis, should we issue a notice to calm the people and inform all the people in the Western Regions?"
Song Ran's reminder was that considering that the Han Dynasty would rule the Western Regions in the future, people in the Western Regions who did not know the situation should not let the Han Dynasty feel that the Han Dynasty was too cruel.
If you rely solely on brutal suppression, it will be difficult to maintain long-term rule.
Therefore, issuing a notice to calm the people and explaining the killings in front of them can calm the people's hearts.
"There can be many reasons for raising troops, such as defense, protection, dignity, territory, security, etc. This is defensive.
When the offensive begins, there is blood, cruelty and conquest.
There is only no room for mercy.
The enemy launches troops against you, but you tell them that you hope for peace? Since we are raising an army, killing is part of it! "
Huo Qubing said: "It's obviously a war, but some people always want to call for peace."
"Those who are so naive and stupid during the war, how can you reason with them and just issue them a peace notice?"
Song Ran tilted his head and thought about it carefully, finding that he was speechless.
"As a person, you have to be able to speak softly and do ruthless things. It's okay, but you have to separate things." Huo Qubing said.
"The ones who attacked us in Jiyan this time were Dayuan, Dayuezhi and Kangju."
Tong Yan, the terracotta warrior, also walked on one side and changed the subject: "Poisoning one's body is the first culprit."
"It doesn't matter who is the first offender, the nature is the same, no one is innocent."
Huo Qubing thought: In addition to what Tong Yan said, there are other forces involved.
When he manifested as Chi You and rushed over, he was blocked by another Qi in the dark.
The complete plan of Dawan, Dayuezhi, Kangju, Shendu, and several other parties should be to kill Zhang Jun, the highest Han official in the northwest, and then swallow up the Han army in Jiyan City.
Then Shendu raised his troops from Wuju (na) in the south of the Western Region and went northward and entered the Western Region.
The Huns were also accomplices.
The blocked Xiongnu tribe originally planned to enter the original Wusun Kingdom from north to south to plunder.
In this way, they attack from the north and the south and attack the Western Region.
Not long after the Western Region returned to the Han, it was not stable at all, and the sense of belonging to the Han was not strong.
If their plan succeeds, countries in the Western Region will surely follow suit and may fall back into chaos.
This is the real purpose behind Shendu's plan.
There are many countries in the Western Region, and they are rising up. If a country rises or falls, the fate of the country can be determined by the poison of the body.
The unification of the Western Regions by the Han Dynasty was equivalent to smoothing out the chaos in the Western Regions that they longed to see, and robbing them of the opportunity to gain national destiny from it.
There are enemies from all directions, and the desire to disrupt China will never die.
This is the main reason for Huo Qubing's anger. Anyone who invades the Han Dynasty will retaliate a hundredfold.
After seeing the courtyard where Zhang Jun died, he came to the city wall to the west of Jiyan and looked into the distance. To the north was Kangju and to the south was Da Yueshi.
"Who was the swordsman who first attacked Zhang Jun when he came out of the house? Do you know his whereabouts?"
Zhao Anji, who was at a later position, responded: "The prisoner was interrogated, and no one knew his origin. His face was covered.
After Zhang Taishou's death, the man disappeared. "
This person may be the key to stirring up trouble in the dark and connecting all parties.
Huo Qubing pondered for a moment and took out a concentric lotus leaf.
This lotus leaf was a little special. It was a "group" where he had private chats with the emperor, Wei Qing, Dong Zhongshu, and the old prime minister Gongsun Hong.
Now the Tongxin Lotus Leaf has been used in the Han Dynasty for a period of time, and everyone has mastered the method of use, and the cooperation of those who practice the relevant methods in the Mohist school is no longer needed.
"I want to start a war in the northwest, please allow your majesty!"
In Chang'an, the emperor took out the Concentric Lotus and looked at it.
He already knew what happened to Dawan.
The Han's governor in Hexi died, killed in a sneak attack and assassination.
Neither of the two bronze figurine guards were able to defend themselves, which shows how much force the other side used.
Also killed in the chaos in Jiyan City were more than 2,000 Han soldiers.
This is a blood feud.
The emperor responded by chanting on the lotus leaf: "If you want soldiers for soldiers, if you want food for food, whoever offends our great Han will be punished even from afar! This trend cannot last long, otherwise everyone will imitate it repeatedly, and the countries in the Western Regions will be tempted to move, and there will be more in the future. There’s chaos!”
Wei Qing also appeared in the group: "If you send troops, you may need me to go to the Western Regions."
What Wei Qing meant was that he would personally go to the Western Regions to suppress the various movements, ensure stability in the rear, and allow Huo Qubing to fight with peace of mind on the front line!
"Uncle, you don't need to come. I have Fu Lu branch in the Western Regions. The five thousand troops brought by Yao Zhao and others, as well as the two thousand elites who accompanied me when I came, total seven thousand veterans of the Forbidden Army. To defeat the Da Yueshi, Kang Ju is enough. .
What's more, Zhang Jun's frontier troops are stationed in the Western Region to stabilize the situation. "Huo Qubing said.
"How far are you prepared to fight?"
"Slaughter the three kingdoms, abolish the country's title, and destroy its country. The basic goal is to have no country in the world." Huo Qubing said solemnly.
The main hall of Chang'an Taixue Academy.
Dong Zhongshu was also 'peeping at the screen'. When he saw Huo Qubing's response, he couldn't help but ponder:
"In ancient times, how many people were able to be buried with them in several countries after their death!
Prefect Zhang can leave with peace of mind. "
At the Prime Minister's Office on the side of the main hall of Weiyang Palace, Gongsun Hong also held a lotus leaf in his hand. After reading it, he stroked his beard and said:
"Drunken with mellow wine, mellow with mellow wine, you are drunk, you are drunk! You are buried with the country, well done, and the prestige of the Han people is magnified!"
On this day, troops were everywhere in the Western Region.
Huo Qubing mobilized the Han army from Yumen to march westward, reinforced the Han army stationed in Kucha, and took control of the center of the Western Region to stabilize the situation.
The original Qiuci Han army marched south into the Yarkand and Puli areas, and their troops were directed towards Wushu further south to guard against body poison.
On the north side, King Hunxie and King Tutu were stationed north of Wusun to guard against any further movements by the Xiongnu.
The other unit will also go south, and after joining the Han troops entering Yarkand, they will take the initiative to attack the enemy.
West of the Western Region.
The Dawan people were all disarmed that day, and no soldiers were allowed to exist in the territory.
Now, Huo Qubing must first wipe out Da Yueshi and Kang Ju, and then clean up his body.
————
In their early years, Dayuezhi nomadically lived in the western part of the Hexi Corridor. They were once powerful and a powerful enemy of the Huns.
At that time, it had part of the territory, extending from Hexi to the northeast, involving the land north of the Han Dynasty, and bordering the Xiongnu, and there were frequent battles.
Later, the Dayue clan were defeated and moved to the area where the Wusun people now live.
The Xiongnu continued to pursue and fight, but Dayuezhi was defeated, so they moved away again and finally came to their current place of residence.
It is located in the southwest of Dawan.
Dayue clan is divided into five tribes: Xiumi, Shuangmi, Kushan, Jedun and Dumi. The radical is called Xihou.
Among them, Kushan was the predecessor of the Kushan dynasty that was known to everyone in later generations.
The Kushan tribe later became stronger and annexed other branches to establish a dynasty.
At this time, the most prosperous of the Dayue clan was the Dumi tribe among the five tribes of Jihou.
His lord was also called the Yuezhi King. He held the royal power of the Yuezhi and established his capital in Lanshi City.
Last night, Gorgon led his troops into Jiyan and severely damaged the Han army. In the afternoon after dawn, the news was rushed back to his capital, Lanshi City.
The Moon Branch King is short, fat and stout, with a fair complexion, a high nose and deep eyes. He wears a golden crown on his head and is quite majestic.
He was overjoyed after hearing the news: "The Han people have strong self-consciousness, and it is time to teach them a lesson and let them know the power of my great Yuezhi.
We and other three parties have joined forces and stationed in Jiyan. It is only the beginning. The follow-up will further aggravate the turmoil in the Western Regions and drag the Han into a quagmire of constant war, and its national power will inevitably decline. "
"The ruler of the country has thought deeply. Instead of sitting back and watching the Han occupy Dawan, it is better to unite all parties and take action first. It is indeed a good strategy."
On the side of King Yuezhi, an adviser of the Da Yuezhi agreed: "The Han people would never have thought that the king ordered Gorgon to cooperate with the body poison this time."
Da Yuezhi is making great contributions to the coalition forces and is overjoyed. She has not yet received the latest news from Jiyan.
The speed of Huo Qubing's march and the method of thunderous attack have always been one of his most distinctive features.
He decided to send troops to deal with the Da Yueshi, and set off with 5,000 elite imperial troops that morning.
After they left Jiyan City, the whole city was burned by fire to commemorate Zhang Jun and the Han soldiers who died here.
After the fire, Jiyan will be in ruins.
Dawan was also expelled from the country and was never allowed to use it again.
The heads of the Dawan soldiers who participated in the Jiyan City rebellion and attacked the Han army were sent to Guishan City, the capital of the Dawan Kingdom, that afternoon. The scene was so bloody that the original leader of the Dawan Kingdom who saw this scene was so frightened that he fainted. , almost scared to death.
When Huo Qubing left Jiyan, he immediately used concealment to cover up Xingzang, penetrated deep into the territory of Dayuezhi, and bypassed its defense line.
Huo Qubing's team could deliver the news faster than Dayuezhi, and arrived at Lanshi City, the capital of their country, first in the afternoon.
King Yuezhi was still rejoicing at the good news that Gorgon had defeated Jiyan. He was unaware that outside the capital, the Han army had already reached his doorstep.
It's getting dark.
Huo Qubing led the army, with Zhao Anji, Lu Zhi, and Yao Zhao as the combat captain accompanying the army.
Their team, led by Huo Qubing himself, was so stealthy that they were forced to the outside of Lan's city without the other party noticing.
"Lang Zhongling, I will lead people into the city first and open the city gate?"
Zhao Anji took the initiative to ask for help and planned to reenact the battle against Dawan Guishan City.
Huo Qubing said calmly: "No need, we will attack this battle openly, break through the defense of Dayue Kingdom's capital head-on, and penetrate its royal city."
After returning to Lu Zhi, Yao Zhao and others, their spirits were greatly improved.
Behind them, there is a heavy sarcophagus, which is made of huge stones cut from the city wall of Jiyan City.
Lying in the coffin was Zhang Jun's corpse, which had been infused with military energy by Huo Qubing to keep it from decaying for several years.
"Carry the coffin and destroy the city, killing the Dayue clan without leaving any trace behind!"
Huo Qubing was relieved of the mystery, and the entire team was suddenly revealed outside the city.
The central palace of Dayuezhi is built in the style of nomadic tribes. It is built with bricks and stones and has a dome like a large tent on the grassland. It is gorgeous and beautiful.
King Yuezhi had a few drinks at the dinner and was in high spirits.
In the dark of night, accompanied by his attendants, he returned to the bedroom and prepared to choose a beautiful concubine to sleep with.
The moment he entered the dormitory, King Yuezhi did not forget to turn around and tell his attendants:
"You go and convey my order to the king. Later, we will continue to increase the number of troops to Jiyan, and they will be dispatched by Gorgon to wait for opportunities to intensify the turmoil in the Western Regions..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a loud noise.
Boom!
The ground of the palace was shaking like the sky was shattering and the earth was shattering.
The Moon Branch King came out of his dormitory in shock and looked in the direction of the loud noise: "What happened? Where did the noise come from?"
At the city gate, Huo Qubing revealed his figure and kicked to pieces the north gate of Lan's City that had just been closed shortly after nightfall.
The huge city gate was torn apart.
The city tower was covered with cracks, and the movement shook the whole city.
"Kill me, the Han Dynasty Governor of Xiguan, Han general Huo Qubing leads his troops to attack the city, and the people of Dayue clan come out and die!"
Huo Qubing's voice sounded earth-shattering at this moment.
"Da Yueshi, suffer death! suffer death! suffer death!"
Behind him, Fu Luzhi, Yao Zhao, Zhao Anji, and Tong Yan all had scarlet eyes and full of vitality.
The Han army carried the coffin, roared in unison, and broke into the city brazenly.
At Huo Qubing's feet, formations spread out and enveloped the entire city.
Dayuezhi's land of national destiny was hit, and a surge of luck surged up. The defenses in the city collided fiercely with Huo Qubing's formations.
But in Huo Qubing's array, the white tiger poked his head out, and Xuanwu manifested a turtle's back, as huge as a mountain, with the power to carry the heaven and the earth.
Dayeshi's defense system was completely crushed by Huo Qubing's military formation and torn apart by Bai Hu and Xuanwu.
The city was suddenly shaken.
Huo Qubing took a step forward, and with a bang, the war drum seemed to be beaten.
Following his steps, Lan's City continued to shake.
The Han army's cavalry rushed out from behind him and attacked all parts of the city. Tigers, wolves and thunder were galloping, unstoppable.
The formations under Huo Qubing's feet spread out layer by layer, followed by Dabi who continued to spray out air pillars, looking like Jin An like the Bull Demon King.
Boom!
The step contains thunder.
With every step Huo Qubing took, the shaking in Lan's City intensified.
"How could the Han army come to my Lan City so quickly?!" In the palace, King Yuezhi looked shocked.
The capital of Dayue clan is also a gathering of masters and good generals.
After the initial panic, a figure quickly rose from the city and faced Huo Qubing through the air: "Han people who dare to invade our Lanshi City are seeking death!"
This is a military general from the Yueshi clan. He is over fifty years old and has a burly build. He is a general at the level of a state-level general, Qiu Ye.
He stepped out of thin air, holding a thick war spear.
Suddenly a spear thrust out, with immense power!
The power of the mountains surged towards Huo Qubing who was marching in the royal city.
In the array under his feet, several large stars suddenly rose, borrowing the power of heaven and earth as they rotated.
——Crack!
The battle spear in the hand of the Dayue clan general was wiped out by the big star, and a cloud of blood mist exploded all over his body.
His chest was pierced by a punch from Huo Qubing's chopping hand, and the torque caused by the spinning of the big star shattered his defense.
This famous general of the Great Yuezhi was killed when he met him, and he fell to the ground and died!
The entire Lan City fell into an eerie silence. Their famous general was actually beaten to death with one punch.
The Han people have such strong generals!
Fear spread quietly in the city, and the whole city was silent for a while.
Only Huo Qubing's heavy footsteps, like a mountain falling to the ground, made the whole city seem to be overturned.
Boom boom boom!
Huo Qubing quickly approached Dayuezhi Palace, and the cracks under his feet spread like a spider web.
