Qiuci Kingdom, it Qiancheng.
This is the capital of Qiuci State.
The current monarch of Qiuci Kingdom is named Bai Dian, and he has been in power for more than 20 years. In fact, the Bai family's foundation in Qiuci Kingdom only lasts for more than a hundred years. After the Eastern Han Dynasty Ban Chao envoyed the Western Regions and established the Protectorate of the Western Regions, he deposed the former King of Qiuci Yuliduo and appointed Bai Ba as the King of Qiuci.
Since then, there have been kings of Qiuchi with the surname Bai for generations.
By Bai Dian's generation, the national power of the Kucha Kingdom was not very strong. Only its two cities, Gancheng and Yancheng, were left. The other areas belonging to the Kucha Kingdom had become independent or were annexed by surrounding countries.
Outside the city of Tagan in the Kingdom of Qiuci, an army came in force. The army consists of elephant soldiers, cavalry and infantry, and the military appearance is very strict. The number of people was not large, only about 10,000, but it was terrifying.
This army is a joint army of Gumo State, Shule State, and Weitou State.
The Gumo Kingdom itself is a small country, with only two thousand soldiers. These elephant soldiers, cavalry, etc. are not the troops of the Gumo Kingdom, but the army of Tianzhu.
The Shule Kingdom and Weitou Kingdom in the far west all submitted to Tianzhu, followed by the Gumo Kingdom.
In fact, at the beginning, there was a internal struggle in Shule, which led to the introduction of Tianzhu's army, and then Shule was merged into Tianzhu. Immediately afterwards, Shule State sent troops to Weitou State, but Weitou State could not resist and surrendered.
Finally, the same goes for Gumo Country.
Now, Tianzhu's army mixed with the armies of Shule Kingdom, Weitou Kingdom and Gumo Kingdom, and came towards Taqian City of Qiuci Kingdom. The news has spread to the main hall in the city and to the ears of King Bai Dian of Qiuci.
Bai Dian is over 40 years old and has been in power for more than 20 years. He is rich in experience and quite powerful. The Kingdom of Qiuci was once glorious, then declined, and was humiliated by the surrounding small countries. It was Bai Dian's hard work that allowed it to reach its current scale.
However, it is only two cities.
In the imperial city, in the main hall.
Bai Dianku sat above him, with an unprecedented cold expression on his face. His eyes fell on the panic-looking ministers below, and he said loudly: "The Tianzhu people's army is coming, what do you think we should do?"
Below, everyone was silent.
No one took a stand.
In fact, it was because Bai Dian had enough deterrence that no one took the initiative to persuade him to surrender. But if no one persuades them, it doesn't mean that everyone is willing to fight to the death, they just don't dare to say it.
Bai Dian's face was extremely solemn.
He weighed it in his mind.
He knew very well that he had no one to rely on now and could only make his own decision.
"Report!"
At this moment, an attendant came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the army of Tianzhu has arrived outside the city. Among them, the commander of Tianzhu, Moshetuo, wants to enter the city to see you."
The look on Bai Dian's face was one of surprise.
The people of Tianzhu are so brave. When the army arrived outside the city, they dared to enter the city alone.
Bai Dian flicked his sleeves and ordered: "Go, open the city gate and let Mosituo enter the city."
The soldiers hurriedly made arrangements after being ordered to leave.
Not long after, a man with slightly curly hair reaching his shoulders, a hooked nose, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a full beard, and wearing simple linen clothes entered. He looked calm, without any panic or fear, as if he was in a deserted place.
After standing still, Momotuo clasped his hands together and said, "Moxituo from the Kingdom of Tianzhu has met King Qiuci."
He comes across as very polite.
Gentle and elegant, it seems.
When Bai Dian saw this scene, he frowned slightly. He heard about Moxi Tuo's arrangements in Shule Kingdom, Weitou Kingdom and Gumo Kingdom. Anyone who disobeyed his orders would be killed directly. Those who resisted would massacre the entire clan. No chicken or dog left.
Moshetuo didn't have any extra means, he just killed people. The impression given by Moshetuo is that he is decisive in killing and extremely cruel.
The person in front of me seems to be a scholar, and he looks even more compassionate and compassionate.
Bai Dian calmed down, stared at Moxituo and said: "Commander Moxituo, you are the commander-in-chief of the armies of Shule Kingdom, Weitou Kingdom and Gumo Kingdom. If you enter the city at risk, aren't you afraid of being killed?"
"Afraid, of course I am."
Moshetuo smiled slightly.
When he spoke, he leaned forward slightly to give people a polite feeling, and said calmly: "But I firmly believe that if King Qiuci kills me, Emperor Tianzhu will definitely avenge me."
"At that time, the people of Kucha Kingdom will be buried with me."
"Every member of the royal family of Kucha will be killed, and their bodies will be dragged to be fed to dogs, without exception!"
"As long as King Qiuci is prepared and is willing to bury me with his country's subjects, even if I die, I won't feel anything. The Buddha taught us that a person must see through life and death, and I have seen through life and death."
"It's just a piece of shit. If King Kucha wants to take it away, just take it."
Moshe Tuo's voice was a little hoarse.
Bai Dian's cheeks twitched.
He looked at Moshe Tuo, who was still frighteningly calm, without any change in his words, and looked like he had pearls of wisdom in his hand, and his heart sank to the bottom. Facing such a calm and composed Tianzhu commander, Bai Dian felt helpless.
He wanted to resist, but did not have enough troops and strength.
With his military strength, he cannot be stopped.
Bai Dian thought for a moment and said, "Commander Moshetuo, what kind of treatment will I receive if I surrender?"
Moshe Tuo smiled and said: "As long as you surrender, you will be the governor of Kucha Province, and the Kingdom of Kucha will be changed into a province and become part of our Tianzhu. As the first governor, you will be responsible for governing the place. However, the local garrison must be Tianzhu mobilizes troops from its own country."
Bai Dian understood instantly.
This arrangement eliminated the opportunity for him to control the army.
At any rate, he can still manage the place.
Bai Dian breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "No problem, I am willing!"
A smile flashed across Moxituo's face. He relied on this arrangement with Bai Dian and used the same method to persuade the Shule Kingdom, Weitou Kingdom and Gumo Kingdom to surrender. They were all provinces changed to Tianzhu, and all of them established governors, led by Tianzhu. garrison.
The first step was to complete the local reorganization.
After the Western Region is completely captured and the troops are completely stationed, Tianzhu has the final say on how to adjust in the future.
Now step by step.
Moshe Tuo nodded and said: "King Kucha's choice must be the most correct. In addition, your interests will not be damaged. Don't worry, King Kucha, I hope you will surrender in a down-to-earth manner. Otherwise, you cannot afford it." as a result of."
Bai Dian had some thoughts in his mind, but looking at Moxi Tuo's appearance, he suppressed his thoughts.
You can't afford to mess with people like this.
Bai Dian nodded and said: "Commander Moshetuo, Tianzhu is marching in the Western Regions. But I heard the news that China in the east of the Western Regions unified and established a very strong country, the Ming Dynasty, and also stationed troops on the border. Even the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was on the border. . Tianzhu is advancing troops in the Western Region, and I am afraid that the Ming Emperor will intervene and affect the war."
A flash of light flashed across Moshetuo's eyes, and he smiled and said: "The matter is not difficult, I have already made arrangements. The Kingdom of Kucha surrendered, and the army took a short rest before continuing eastward. I arranged for envoys to visit Liangzhou The Ming Emperor warned him not to enter the Western Regions. Otherwise, the two countries would go to war directly."
Bai Dian was even more surprised, Moshetuo was so brave.
Directly warn the Ming Emperor.
Bai Dian suddenly thought of watching a show and said, "We'll see."
Moxi Tuo glanced at Bai Dian and said with a smile: "The Central Plains Dynasty of China is not worth mentioning. In front of my Tianzhu army, there is only the fate of being crushed into powder, and there is no other outcome. My Majesty, the Emperor of Tianzhu, is the true The reincarnation of the Buddha is like a heavenly being. The mere Chinese people will surely perish."
Bai Dian didn't say much.
No matter how good Moxi Tuo's words are, we still need to wait until the results come back to know.
Moxituo persuaded Bai Dian to surrender, and took Bai Dian out of the city to welcome the army into the city and take over the city. At the same time, Mosituo's counselor Jinnarado went all the way east, entered Liangzhou in the shortest time, and came towards Guzang County.
