Chapter 309 The situation is as expected (4K)

In the blink of an eye, it was August 28. After Huo Shan got up early and practiced martial arts, he was eating breakfast while waiting for Xiao Hei to bring back the information.

Nothing major happened yesterday, the situation on the side of the Xiongnu was the same as Huo Shan estimated, now it depends on the situation brought back by Xiao Hei today.

In the afternoon of the day before yesterday, after Huo Shan finished arranging the military order, not long after, the rulers of Yanqi, Yuli and other countries came.

As for Lord Weixu, after watching Huo Shan's arrangement of military orders, he didn't say anything except to praise him as a routine.

At first Huo Shan was a little puzzled, it shouldn't be, but it didn't take long for him to understand that this guy didn't understand at all.

After the translator translated the words, he couldn't understand Huo Shan's arrangement, and Huo Shan wouldn't just go and explain it to him in detail.

He reckoned that even if he went to explain it, the Lord of Weixu probably wouldn't be able to understand it.

One is cultural differences, and the other is that the amount of knowledge reserves is too low.

As for the rulers of Yanqi, Yuli and other countries, Huo Shan had a very happy conversation with them.

The population of Weixu State is more than [-], with about [-] soldiers and horses.

As for Yuli Kingdom and Yanqi Kingdom, their scales are much larger than that of Weixu Kingdom.

The population of Yuli State is more than [-], and the number of soldiers and horses is about [-], which is not too much difference.

However, the population of Yanqi State is more than [-], and its soldiers and horses are around [-]. The population is directly six times that of Weixu State.

This area was originally dominated by the Yanqi Kingdom, and in later generations Weixudu was merged into the Yanqi Kingdom.

Huo Shan was also very happy that he came here to see him because of the face he gave.

In addition to these large countries, there are also some small countries, such as the Quli country, with a population of about [-] and [-] troops.

Huo Shan discussed with them about borrowing soldiers, horses, food and grass, and these countries are very convenient.

In terms of soldiers and horses, Yanqi supported [-] soldiers and horses, and Weixu and Yuli each had [-] soldiers for each country, so they added up to exactly [-].

As for Huo Shan from the small country, he didn't say anything. There were too few people, so it would be a bit embarrassing to have an incident in the country.

Moreover, the number of people is too small, and it is too troublesome to gather.

The most important thing is food and grass. The five thousand soldiers and horses brought their own food and grass for half a month, and they also supported some of Huo Shan's ten thousand troops.

In terms of food and grass, there will be no worries within half a month.

These countries are so happy and generous that Huo Shan doubts if there is any problem with them.

But Huo Shan reckoned that this possibility was unlikely, they should have discussed it in advance and were going to bet the treasure on the big man.

On Huo Shan's side, since you have chosen me, and you are still the first wave of Western Regions, Huo Shan will definitely not let them down.

They are equivalent to angel rounds, with small investment but large returns.

In addition to these things, there are also some news from the envoys.

The first is Wensu, the small country over Gumo, the one behind the big man.

They sent news that they would definitely follow the order of the champion, prepare the army for battle, and wait for the subsequent order of the champion.

This big man should come in second, Huo Shan has never been sure whether they can come in handy.

No, or not sure if they would carry out his orders.

This backhand is the method of Bowang Hou Zhangqian, and there is a rather bloody story in it.

It was when Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions for the first time, when he passed by Gumo, he rescued a young man. This young man was the prince of Wensu Kingdom and the current Lord of Wensu Kingdom.

But now that Zhang Qian has passed away, in this case, who knows if this second hand is still useful.

As for the mountain country, there is no bloody story, it was supported by the big man.

The second is Gumo, and there is also news from there.

However, the news that came did not have any substantive expression, and the whole article was touted, but after you read it, you found that there was no substantive expression.

As for the matter of sending troops to support, it didn't mention a word.

Huo Shan was no stranger to this situation, it was normal.

I gave you the opportunity to invest, you are not disappointed!

You have to wait for me to come to the door and threaten and lure you before leaning in. Although Huo Shan would not refuse at that time, things have changed a lot.

Whether there will be any benefits for you in the future is uncertain, even if there are, it is not much.

Wusun is still the same, there is no news.

The same is true for Kucha, who didn't respond to the imperial edict sent by Huo Shan.

As for the great gift he sent over, it should have arrived in Kucha, but it will take two or three days for Huo Shan to know their reaction.

They will definitely not remain indifferent, but there are only two possibilities, either surrender or resistance, there is no third possibility.

Uh, it’s not impossible, if they can give up their foundation and move the whole country to find the Huns, this is also a possibility, but the probability is very small.

If they really did this, Huo Shan would have to give them a thumbs up, he was decisive enough.

But it's useless, he will pass by in a few days, where can you run to?

Huo Shan did not march for the past two days, but stayed in Weixu country all the time. The rulers of Yanqi, Yuli and other countries returned yesterday.

Go back to the country to prepare soldiers, horses and food.

Huo Shan was waiting for Xiao Hei's information. If there were no major accidents, he would leave immediately after reading the information.

If there is a situation, he is prepared to wait for a day.

And if they want to leave, it's not just Huo Shan leading the army, the whole country of Weixu country will follow Huo Shan.

This is to prepare for the [-] soldiers and horses that the Huns will come later.

Huo Shan was planning to stay after arriving in Yanqi, and continue marching after destroying the [-] Huns.

If Huo Shan really wanted to run away, the [-] soldiers would not be able to catch up with him, but the [-] soldiers would do great harm to these countries.

Once they arrive, it is inevitable to burn, kill and loot.

.........

Huo Shan hadn't waited long, before he finished his breakfast, Xiao Hei came back.

Huo Shan waved at him, and Xiao Hei landed on the desk, Huo Shan looked at the thinner Xiao Hei with some distress.

Running around for the past few days has really tired him out, but those pitch-black eyes are still so piercing.

Huo Shan wiped his mouth, took off the bamboo tube and opened it to read, while watching, he waited for Xiao Hei to go to the meeting room to find the sand table.

Huo Shan first read the news, and then confirmed with Xiao Hei the location of the [-] soldiers who came to him.

Then they judged their speed based on their positions, and then roughly calculated the time. It would take at least three days for the [-] soldiers to reach this place.

As for the information, Huo Shan breathed a sigh of relief, because the situation was not much different from his prediction.

The [-] soldiers Cao Zong went to look for him have not yet arrived, so Cao Zong only reported the location and situation of the enemy army.

The enemy troops in Zhenxi and the second and third divisions of Zhenyu were also as Huo Shan predicted.

Yesterday afternoon, they stopped pursuing, and this morning, they did not intend to pursue.

The central army of the Xiongnu has not made any moves until now.

Everything happened as he expected.

After Xiao Hei left this morning, Huo Shan had already brought an order to them, so that if there were no accidents, they would proceed according to the original plan.

Report the situation to him this evening, and he will make subsequent arrangements, so there is no need for Xiao Hei to make another trip at this moment.

Huo Shan looked at the sand table and thought for a while, then Sun Shang walked in from the door:

"Governor, we are almost ready, we should go."

"What about the people of Weixu Country?"

"Back to the governor, they were ready yesterday, just like the Xiongnu, once the cattle and sheep are driven, and the horses are led, they can go straight away, which is very convenient.

The only troublesome one is the Lord Weixu, but they have already taken care of it. "

Huo Shan raised his head and retracted his gaze on the sand table, then turned and walked towards Sun Shang:
"Then let's go!"

After leaving the Weixu Palace, the guards stepped forward, Huo Shan got on his horse, and a group of people surrounded Huo Shan tightly and walked out of the city.

When he came to the west of the city, Huo Shan looked over at a glance, there were huge crowds of people, cattle and horses everywhere, and he couldn't see the end at a glance.

Huo Shan saw Zhang Anshi and the Lord of Weixu standing in front of them chatting, and Huo Shan rode his horse towards them.

"I have seen the governor."

"Xiao Wang has met the governor."

Huo Shan got off his horse and returned a salute to the Lord of Weixu.

Don't say that the two countries haven't signed the letter of credence yet, even if they have signed the letter of credence, the Lord of Weixu is still a prince and king in the Han Dynasty, and it is appropriate to return the gift.

Huo Shan has always been a polite and good boy!

()
As for when the letter of credence will be signed, Huo Shan said that he doesn't know, anyway, it's not in the near future, so we have to talk about it after Dawan is destroyed.

After returning the ceremony, Huo Shan turned to look at Zhang Anshi:

"Are you all ready?"

"Back to the governor, everything is ready."

"Okay, then let's go. The herald will send an order. The Huben army will open the way ahead. After Yulin and the Guanli army are cut off, they will start to set off immediately."

"promise."

With an order, the whole scene began to boil, and the army, one in front and one behind, surrounded the people of the Weixu country in the middle, and began to march southwest.

The target this time is Yanqi's capital, Yuanqu City.

Weixu is in the north of the sea, Yanqi is in the northwest of the sea, and Yuli is in the southwest of the sea.

This time, Huo Shan's starting route was as follows: he first walked southwest and arrived at Yuanqu City, the capital of Yanqi.

Then after Yanqi dealt with the [-] Xiongnu soldiers and horses, he took Wei Xu and Yanqi's soldiers, horses, food and grass all the way south, and went directly to the northwest of Yuli City, the capital of Yuli, about thirty or forty miles away.

As for why not go directly to the city, it is because there is a river thirty or forty miles northwest of Yuli City, and crossing the river is too troublesome.

And this river has a nice name in later generations, Kongque River. At this time, Yuli City and Yuli City of later generations are not in the same place, and are further north.

I won't stay here too long. After taking Captain Li's soldiers, horses, food and grass, we will go all the way west.

Then all the way through Wulei, Longtai, all the way to the city of King Zhiyan in Kucha.

This first stop is Yuanqu City in Yanqi.

Speaking of this Yuanqu City, in the past five or six hundred years, it will have a painful lesson.

During the Northern Dynasties of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the ancestor of the Northern Wei Dynasty, that is, the Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Tuoba Tao, in order to communicate with the Western Regions, ordered the regular servants on scattered horses. Cheng Zhougong returned thousands of times and led five thousand Liangzhou Qingqi to attack the Western Regions.

This person led the army all the way to this place, defeated Yanqi, Qiuci and other countries, reopened the Western Regions, harvested more than hundreds of millions of rare treasures, countless camels and horses, and directly came a wave of fat.

When Yanqi was defeated, he attacked directly from the south. At that time, Yuli and other countries were already Yanqi's territory.

Attack from the south, smash Zuohui, the second city of Yuli, and go straight to Yanqi's capital Yuanqu City, and after the breakthrough, a wave of massacres came directly, leaving no one behind!
But whether there is one in this life is not certain. History has long changed, but it is also impossible to say that there will be another one. Who can say for sure!

The distance between Weixu City and Yuanqu is very short, sixty or seventy miles away, if there were no people from Weixu country, Huo Shan would be able to reach the place in less than half a day with his troops.

But with them, it will take at least a day to go.

But simply wait for the arrival of the Xiongnu soldiers and horses, and walk slowly. After walking for two days, the army will be able to recuperate.

.........

As the afternoon was approaching evening, while Huo Shan was still slowly marching, Li Ling's Zhenxi Division and Zhao Chongguo's Zhenyu Division had merged into one.

They started to act early, and they will rest after advancing sixty miles.

"The governor asked us to advance fifty miles, and we advanced sixty miles, isn't it appropriate?"

Zhao Chongguo said with some concern that the two of them planned to push forward, but after running for ten miles, they didn't dare to do it anymore, for fear of bad things.

Li Ling frowned when he heard this, and he felt that it was a bit inappropriate, but he relaxed his brows after a while, waved his hands and said:
"It's okay. The battlefield at this time is only ten miles away. It's not a big problem. It's only an instant for our soldiers and horses to run."

Zhao Chongguo nodded silently, then warned:
"Just once."

"Well, just this once."

There was silence between the two, and Zhao Chongguo suddenly said after a while:

"If the governor knows, what should we say?"

Li Ling scratched his head:

"Or, just run away?"

Zhao Chongguo rolled his eyes:
"Battlefield general, I didn't calculate the distance accurately. I'm afraid you are looking for death."

"Uh, courting death should not be the case, but it is certain to be punished, but if you think my idea is wrong, you come up with one!"

Zhao Chongguo touched his chin and bit his lower lip and thought for a while:

"Why don't we just say that the situation requires that the terrain at fifty miles is uneven and difficult to observe?"

Li Ling's eyes lit up:
"Good idea, good idea, that's it."

The two looked at the far east, looked at Li Ling and asked again:
"Why don't you say that the Huns haven't come yet? Is it because the Huns really want the governor's previous guess, which is a bit stupid?"

Zhao Chongguo was also a little skeptical, but he still said:
"Shouldn't be!"

"What shouldn't?"

"You shouldn't be so stupid, the Huns are not smart, and they shouldn't be able to play this trick to lure the enemy deep."

"Maybe some traitors came up with the idea, but King Youguli just used it."

Zhao Chongguo took a look at Li Ling and felt that there was such a possibility. Just as he was about to speak, Li Ling let out a light snort and squinted his eyes to the east.

Zhao Chongguo closed his mouth, and those who play bows usually have good eyesight.

"coming!"
