Chapter 2775 On the Silk Road, the Five Great Warlords of the Western Regions
Chapter 2771: On the Silk Road, the Five Great Warlords of the Western Regions
There were many wars that broke out in the Battle of the Sui Dynasty, especially in the early stage, due to Li Jing's proper planning, it was basically a favorable situation, and one battle was won and the other was won easily.

It wasn't until the [-] Tubo army came to aid, and Yang Guang launched the release of the Qiang order, which attracted the [-] Qiang army, that there were some disturbances in the Qin-Sui war, and the big battle was basically concentrated in the later stage.

Campaign 16, Yumen Pass Pursuit Battle (Pursuit)

Qin army [-] VS Sui and Qiang allied forces [-];

According to statistics, the "Battle of Qin and Sui Dynasty" totaled 24 enemies, 21 prisoners, and 10 self-inflicted losses. After deducting casualties, a total of 3511 summon points were rewarded.

Before the host battle, there were 6215 summoning points, and the current host has a total of 9726 summoning points. 】

The 30 Sui and Qin troops led by Li Jing achieved a record of annihilating 45 enemies in just two months (25 for the Sui army, 24 for the Qiang army and 21 for the Tubo army), among which there were [-], and another [-] were captured.

In this one battle alone, Great Qin completely defeated the Sui Kingdom and the Qiang people, and also seriously injured the vitality of the Tubo Kingdom, and there was no force in the Kansai region that could challenge Great Qin.

Such victories are not without glory, but the Qin army also paid a huge price, losing nearly [-] troops, accounting for one-third of the total army.

Although after treatment, nearly half of them can recover and return to the army.

However, the treatment of injuries, the compensation for soldiers killed in battle, and the resettlement of 21 prisoners of war are undoubtedly a huge expenditure.

After the Qin army captured Liangzhou and Haizhou, although the gains were large, it was obviously not enough to make up for these expenditures. Before Liangzhou and Haizhou were completely digested, it was impossible to be self-sufficient. In the end, the Qin court would definitely have to To post money.

[Ding dong, after testing, the Battle of Bison Mountain includes: the Battle of Bison Mountain before and after, and the Battle of Yushu. These three battles are the same battle, involving a total force of 40, which has exceeded the battle standard of 20 people;

According to statistics, in the Battle of Bison Mountain, a total of 14 enemies were wiped out, [-] were captured, and [-] were self-inflicted;

The battle loss ratio in this battle is 7.1:1, rating: S, reward: a gold random summon card. 】

[Ding dong, after testing, the battle of showing beauty includes: the battle of showing beauty, the battle of showing beauty, and the battle of Wuwei. These three battles are the same battle, involving a total force of 20 people;
According to statistics, in the battle of showing beauty, a total of [-] enemies were wiped out, [-] were captured, and [-] were self-inflicted;

The battle loss ratio of this battle is 1.75:1, score: C, reward: a bronze random summon card. 】

Although there were many battles in the Battle of the Sui Dynasty, there were only two battles in Bison Mountain and Xianmei that could form the battle standard, but these two battles also suffered the most casualties.

After dozens of wars against the Sui Dynasty, the Qin army suffered cumulative casualties of [-] troops, but the casualties in these two battles alone reached [-], accounting for three-quarters of the total casualties.

It can be seen from this that the brutality of the Battle of Bison Mountain and the Battle of Xianmei.

[Ding dong, Daqin successively occupied Jincheng, Wuwei, Zhangye, Dunhuang, Jiuquan, and Zhangye's six counties, all of which were 10 counties in Liangzhou, one of the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty, and 1 counties in one of the states. Reward: a gold summoning card, 128 random attribute point;]

[Ding dong, Daqin successively occupied the seven counties of Xining, Haidong, Haibei, Hainan, Huangnan, Guoluo, and Yushu, all according to the 7 counties of the 73 counties of Haizhou in the sixteen prefectures of China. Reward: a gold summoning card, random attributes point 1 point;]

[The current host has: 9726 summoning points, 2 random attribute points, two gold summoning cards, one golden random summoning card, one bronze random summoning card;]

In the war against the Sui Dynasty, Qin Fang won a complete victory, gained two states and thirteen counties, and added 180 million new population.

Of course, for Daqin, the increase in territory and population was secondary, and the biggest gain was actually the opening of the Silk Road.

The Sui belonged to the six counties of Liangzhou. Except for Jincheng and Wuwei, the other four counties were extremely barren, and the seven counties of Haizhou were not very rich.

In such a barren land, raising an army of 15 is supposed to be the limit, but under the limit expansion of the Sui Kingdom, it can support 30 troops.

What did Yang Guang rely on to support the 30 troops?Nature is the Silk Road.

The Sui Kingdom was barren, with insufficient resources and limited commercial potential. It was impossible to maximize the benefits of the Silk Road. However, only a part of it was developed, and its financial revenue increased dramatically, and it became a small bully in Kansai.

Great Qin sits on the land of eleven states, whether it is resources, population, or business, it is dozens of times stronger than Sui State.

If Great Qin dominates the Silk Road, under the strong national power and huge market of Great Qin, the value of this golden trade route will explode dozens of times higher than before.

Therefore, the Qin army has only two things to do next. One is to sort out and digest the two states of Lianghai, and the other is to prepare for the development of the Silk Road and trade with the Western Regions and the Far West.

Li Jing also knew that the value of the Silk Road was immeasurable, so he planned to directly launch a big purge to digest the Lianghai and Lianghai states as quickly as possible, so as to open the Silk Road without any worries, but he did not expect that the plan would be destroyed by Luoyang before it even started. Wang Meng stopped.

Li Jing is a military commander, so he adopts the most concise and efficient method, but governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. It is indeed a joy to kill such a pain, but if the Central Plains forces know it, what will they think?
After Daqin wiped out the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Song and Ming, will it also launch a big cleansing of these Central Plains forces like it did with Lianghai?

Daqin hasn't wiped out the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Song and Ming, so it is natural to be wary of some influence, even if it is to not overly stimulate the forces of the Central Plains, it cannot arbitrarily kill the Quartet in Liangzhou.

What's more, under Yang Guang's coquettish operations and Da Qin's propaganda, the Sui Kingdom has lost all support, and Da Qin can easily win the hearts of the people. There is no need to use such drastic methods as the Great Cleansing, and at most it will only take a little more time.

Under Wang Meng's intervention, although Li Jing stopped the purge, he intensified the investigation of the remnants of the Sui Kingdom, in order to strengthen Daqin's control over the two states of Lianghai.

In addition, Li Jing also re-deployed and arranged the 20 Qin troops in the two states of Lianghai as follows:
Meng Tian led an army of [-] to guard the seven counties of Haizhou;
Li Maozhen and Xu Rong each led [-] troops to guard Yumen Pass and Yang Pass;
Long Qie led an army of [-] to occupy the four counties of Xiliang;
Li Mu led an army of [-] to return to Hanzhong.

As for Li Jing himself, he personally led a 21-strong army to sit in Daxing, presided over the sorting out and digestion of the two Lianghai prefectures, and the training and recruitment of [-] prisoners of war.

Before Li Jing attacked the Sui Dynasty, he had predicted all kinds of possible situations, but he did not expect that Yang Guang would be so crazy that he would issue the edict to release the Qiang. This move also escalated the scale of the Qin-Sui war. It reached 50 million, and the Qin army captured a full 21 prisoners alone.

The Qin army suffered more than [-] casualties in this battle. Although nearly half of them were able to return to the army after recovering from their injuries, this process will obviously take a long time, and it is obviously impossible for Li Jing to wait any longer.

The 20 Qin army is enough to guard the two states of Lianghai, but the current strength of Guanzhong and Hanzhong in the rear is not sufficient, while the Shu army is still confronting Daqin in Hanzhong.

Therefore, it is imperative to recruit the surrendered army and make up for the vacancies lost in the battle.

After some discussions, Li Jing and his subordinates decided to reorganize the 21 prisoners of war, and finally reorganized into an army of 15. While restoring the pre-war organization, there were [-] more troops.

Coupled with the return of the wounded soldiers, Daqin will have 40 troops in Yongliang, which is enough to attack Shu while guarding Yongliang.

However, this military expansion plan was rejected collectively by Wang Meng and the six ministers as soon as it was submitted.

The top officials of the imperial court, headed by the prime minister Wang Meng, believe that the focus of Daqin is now on the eastern front, and that all resources of the country should be mobilized to destroy the three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Ming. They should not waste too much resources on the western front, and Li Jing fought on the western front. Although it is beautiful, it cannot change the national policy of Daqin.

Wang Meng only allowed the Yongliang Qin army to restore the pre-war formation, and did not allow Li Jing to waste resources on additional expansion, so Li Jing could only give up the army expansion plan, and the reorganization of 21 prisoners of war was also reduced from 15 to [-].

However, after the wounded soldiers return from injury, Da Qin will have an army of 35 in Yongliang, which can be regarded as an expansion of [-] in disguise.

Just when Li Jing was in full swing to rectify the two prefectures of Hailiang and recruit prisoners of war, the situation in the Western Regions had undergone tremendous changes.

Yang Shuang's ability to personally lead the army to pick up Gao Huan is enough to show that the Western Region coalition forces were defeated, and the defeat was miserable.

Even with the famous general Wang Ben present, the anti-Sui coalition forces of the fifteen countries in the Western Regions were still defeated by the coalition forces of the three families of Yang Ji and Li.

Today, there are less than 25 people left in the coalition of 10 and [-] countries, and among them, five countries were directly destroyed.

However, the strength of the coalition forces of Yang Ji and Li's three families increased more and more, and it has now expanded to 15.

Wang Ben commanded a 25 coalition army, but he couldn't defeat the [-] army assembled by Yang Shuang. Coupled with the depressed mood, I couldn't afford to get sick.

After Yang Shuang rescued Gao Huan, he did not continue to attack the Western Regions for two reasons:
One was not daring, after all, the 20 Qin troops were still staying in Lianghai Erzhou. If Yang Shuang would accept them without seeing good results, if Li Jing was summoned, he would be seeking his own death.

The second is that what the Sui State needs most at present is not expansion, but stabilization of the internally unstable people, and the election of a new Sui King.

Although Yang Shuang is the clan of the Yang family with the most military power, it is reasonable to say that he is the best candidate to become the king of the Sui Dynasty, but Gao Huan, Wei Xiaokuan, Yu Wenxian, Changsun Song, Gao Ang, Gao Changgong and other generals also have military power in their hands. Willing to continue to serve the Yang family.

Yang Shuang obviously knew this too. If he was not careful now, the Sui Kingdom might split, so he was naturally cautious. He made various promises and took the initiative to delegate power in exchange for the support of the generals.

With some help from Yang Shuang, Wei Xiaokuan and Changsun Song decided to support Yang Shuang.

Because Yu Wenxian had offended Yang Shuang before, he was unwilling to work for him, so he led his troops to join Yu Wentai, who was temporarily attached to Ji Chang.

Yu Wentai shined brilliantly in the Western Regions War, and his troops quickly expanded to [-]. Together with Yu Wenxian's [-] troops, the total strength has reached [-]. He is considered a small warlord in the Western Regions, so he decided to Break away from Jichang and seek development on your own.

As for Gao Huan, he was rescued back to the Western Regions by Yang Shuang this time. Yang Shuang was kind to him, and logically speaking, he should support Yang Shuang, but he has his own ambitions, so he is also conflicted deep in his heart.

Under the instigation and dissension of the Daqin spies, Gao Huan's ambition finally gained the upper hand, and he chose to lead an army of [-] to become independent and develop on his own in the Western Regions.

Gao Huan also wanted to recruit Gao Changgong, Gao Ang and Gao Jineng, but only Gao Changgong and Gao Jineng chose to follow him, while Gao Ang still chose to serve the Sui Kingdom.

As for Yelu Shilu, Yelu Xiuge, Yelu Xiezhen, and the remnants of the Three Thousand Qiang Army who fled to the Western Regions with Gao Huan, after learning that Yelu Deguang had defected to Tubo, they decided to go to Tubo to join Yelu Deguang.

Yang Shuang tried his best, but under the instigation of Daqin, it was still difficult to prevent the split of the Sui Kingdom.

In the end, Sui's forces in the Western Regions were divided into three, with Yang Shuang, Gao Huan, and Yu Wentai each occupying one, and the strongest among them was naturally Yang Shuang.

After Li Siyuan's war in the Western Regions, his forces expanded rapidly, second only to the split Yang Shuang.

Ji Chang's power was actually expanding faster than Li Siyuan's, but because of Yu Wentai's betrayal, he was overtaken by Li Siyuan instead, ranking third among the Han warlords in the Western Regions.

Anti-bone boy Yu Wentai and newcomer Gao Huan ranked fourth and fifth respectively.

In addition to Yang Shuang, Li Siyuan, Ji Chang, Yuwentai, and Gao Huan, the five major warlord forces who fled from the Central Plains to the Western Regions, there are also Daqin in the Western Regions, as well as the ten native countries and other forces.

Sixteen factions of all sizes gathered in the small Western Regions, which shows how chaotic the situation in the Western Regions is. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a small regional warring country.
