Chapter 332 Destruction (4.1K)

The next day, the army set off with ten days' worth of food and grass.

There is enough food and grass for ten days. Xiao Hei has already checked, and the positions of Wusun's tribes have not changed.

Even if they start to act after learning at this moment, it doesn't matter, the speed will not be too fast if they drag their families along.

This expedition is to grab food, and feeding on the enemy is the basic operation.

However, with 20 soldiers and horses grabbing food, this formation is really too big, and they don't really want to grab food.

After the army had set off, Huo Shan slapped his head and ordered to the herald next to him:
"I forgot to say it yesterday. I ordered the generals to take it easy. Don't steal everything. Leave some for them, so as not to arouse their desire to fight to the death."

It's almost winter, if you take everything away, you won't be able to survive, the difference between early death and late death, if it was him, he would definitely fight to the death.

"promise!"

Four days later, all the armies had crossed the Tianshan Mountains, and Huo Tan was the fastest here. He went straight along the Chigu City, while the other armies had to make some detours.

Huo Shan looked at the endless plain and murmured:
"Shanbei is colder than Shannan!"

Zhang Anshi next to him nodded:
"It's definitely a lot colder."

"It's okay, we'll leave when it's really cold, Dawan is much warmer than here, and the soldiers here will have to carry it this winter.

The Chinese army was ordered to set up camp, rest for two days, and march again tomorrow. Lao Zhao and the others should stay far away and wait for them. "

Just as Huo Shan was about to go back to the big tent that he had just set up, a scout from afar rushed over.

"Report!"

Huo Shan turned around, quietly waiting for the scouts to arrive:

"Report to the Governor, there is a Wusun cavalry squad from the northwest, here is the letter of the Wusun Kingdom."

Huo Shan took the letter of credence, looked at the Habayashi soldier, and asked with a smile:

"Dong Li, to be honest, I don't believe that the Wusun cavalry will hand over the credentials to you."

Dong Li stood up and scratched his head, and shouted carelessly:
"Go back to the governor, the Wusun cavalry was captured by us, this is from them."

Huo Shan nodded, then opened Wusun Guoshu and read it. Zhang Anshi on the side thought about it and asked Dong Li:

"Just a team of cavalry, no messengers?"

Dong Li shook his head again and again:

"I didn't see it, just a group of hundreds of cavalry, and I didn't find the messenger."

Huo Shan and Zhang Anshi looked at each other, it was too contemptuous to send the credentials, just a troop of cavalry.

After reading it, Huo Shan slapped the letter of credence on Zhang Anshi's chest:

"It's burnt after watching."

Then Huo Shan pointed at Dong Li:
"All the horse bandits caught were chopped off, and I will give you credit for the credit, as if it never happened."

"promise."

Dong Li shouted and left happily.

If it was really a messenger who came, then naturally there would be no credit, but this is a horse bandit, so it can be counted as credit.

As for where the cavalry sent by the Wusun Kingdom went, I don’t know, I haven’t seen it, so don’t ask me.

After Zhang Anshi finished reading it, he smiled disdainfully, just at this time Liu Ju came over, and couldn't help but curiously said:

"what happened?"

Zhang Anshi handed over the letter of credence after saluting, and then said:
"Jun Xumi sent the letter of credence over here, condemning my big man's unjust attack on Wusun, and asked why Princess Jiangdu and my big man's envoy disappeared."

Liu Ju was also happy after watching it, questioning, condemning?Is there anything wrong with this guy's brain?

"What a thick-skinned man, it was Wusun who broke the covenant first, and Princess Jiangdu and my Han envoy disappeared, this is a big deal!

My big man's envoy disappeared in his Wusun territory, so he still has the face to question my big man? "

After Liu finished speaking, he looked back at Zhang Anshi, and the two looked at each other and laughed.

Liu Ju pointed to the big tent behind him:

"Isn't the governor ready to see you?"

"What the governor means is that he didn't meet any Wusun envoys, a bunch of horse bandits, just kill them, and I even helped Wusun suppress the bandits."

In fact, Huo Shan was not prepared to meet these people, not to mention Jun Xumi's bad attitude, he sent soldiers and horses to deliver the credentials, just for this, the big man can attack him.

Even if there was no such thing, you sent an envoy to come and knelt on the ground very humbly, Huo Shan would not have received him, unless you, Jun Xu Mi, came in person.

.........

In the morning of the next day, Huo Shan was lying on the couch, eating raisins, drinking milk tea and watching the military reports from all sides, when the scouts came to report again.

"Reporting to the governor, fifty miles to the northwest, a thousand-man army appeared, under the banner of envoys."

"understood."

Huo Shan thought for a while, then shouted outside the tent:

"Sun Shang, call me Zhang Anshi and Tian Qianqiu."

"promise."

Sun Shang tilted his head at the soldier next to him. The soldier cupped his hands, and then ran to the tent not far away.

After waiting for nothing, Zhang Anshi came over, and after a while Tian Qianqiu also ran over, Sun Shang tilted his head towards the tent, Zhang Anshi walked in and saluted and asked:
"What do you want me to order from the governor?"

Huo Shan didn't answer him, but looked at the military newspaper and shouted:

"Sun Shang comes in."

After Sun Shang came in, Huo Shan changed another battle report and read it, and ordered while reading:

"Wusun's envoy is here, Tian Qianqiu, you change your clothes and go ten miles outside the camp gate to meet him. Be courteous, and Sun Shang, bring a thousand tiger and heavy horses to accompany you.

When he saw it, he said that Ben Hou was young, tired from the war and marching, and fell ill after autumn. He was recovering from his illness and could not see the wind, so it was difficult for him to meet guests. "

"The minister takes orders!"

After the two left, Zhang Anshi found a place and did not speak. He asked after seeing Huo Shan finished reading the military newspaper:

"The governor is not going to meet, let's see what they say?"

Huo Shan pouted:
"No, I'm afraid they will come to question me again, so I can't help but cut them off.

And it's useless to talk about it now, let's talk about it after the beating is over. "

Zhang Anshi nodded in agreement. It is really useless to discuss at this time.

Moreover, our great governor has always been domineering, especially in this situation, Wusun has no power to fight back. From Zhang Anshi's own point of view, you, Wusun, have no right to negotiate, let alone Huo Shan.

Huo Shan didn't plan to negotiate at all, and it's the same when the fight is over. At that time, you can do whatever I tell you to do.

So the current situation is the reason why a weak country has no diplomacy.

"The speed of Zhao Ponu and Zhao Chongguo is not bad, Zhao Chongguo is farther away, but it will take half a day to walk tomorrow.

On Li Ling's side, you should be able to meet the first tribe this afternoon, but this tribe is a descended tribe.

It's almost time, our army will set off directly tomorrow. "

"The minister will arrange it after noon."

"Ah."

The two of them didn't discuss how to attack Wusun. There was really no need to fight Wusun.

Huo Shan's central army went straight to Junxumi. With Huo Shan in command, it was not a big problem. There was really no need for other places, just let the generals develop themselves.

On this day, the Chinese army continued to set off, and the thousand Wusun soldiers and envoys also followed in the army.

The envoy is a loyal person, otherwise at this critical moment, Jun Xumi would not have arranged to come over. In the past half a day and one night, the envoy was in a hurry, and I don't know how many times I have asked to see him.

Huo Shan saw Tian Qianqiu and waved at him. After Tian Qianqiu ran over, Huo Shan asked with a smile:

"How's it going?"

"Go back to the governor, figured it out.

According to the envoy, Jun Xumi was furious when he learned that Chigu City had been captured by my tycoon at nightfall, and immediately wrote a letter of condemnation, which was sent over by iron cavalry starry night.

But I couldn't regret it afterwards. After being dissuaded by the minister the next day, Jun Xumi regretted it even more, and quickly sent cavalry to chase him back. "

Huo Shan spread out his hands:
"Obviously it didn't go back."

Tian Qianqiu smiled and nodded:

"The governor said it was a matter of business, after Jun Xumi dispatched the recovered envoys, he immediately discussed with the ministers and sent the envoys.

That's why Wusun had envoys for two consecutive days. "

Huo Shan nodded, and then asked:
"How much are they going to give to make me retreat?"

"Back to the governor, grain and grass are 20 shi, gold [-], horses [-], cattle [-], and sheep [-].

There are also some things that the messenger brought over this time, ten precious sword handles, ten horses, two boxes of precious stones, and various gold and silver products. Send them back to my big man, which can be worth five thousand gold. "

Huo Shan sneered:
"With such a small amount of food, how about sending a beggar?
The food is only [-], how long can I eat it?

There are only [-] war horses, but I thought that each soldier under my command would have one horse. "

The anger in Huo Shan's heart became more and more intense.

When the Xiongnu came to attack, you, Wusun, did not move. First of all, you broke the covenant, and you still have the face to question?

Regret it now, do you want to get rid of such a little thing?

"It seems like a bunch of scumbags, if they don't hit their own door, they think that the extermination of 26 Huns is a rumor!
Then fight, it's a habitual problem, kneel in front of Benhou, with Benhou's knife resting on his neck, he will know who is the master and who is the servant! "

A group of people around were all indignant, and they all shouted to kill Wusun. After they were quiet for a while, Huo Shan shouted again:
"Today is the [-]th of October, and the whole army is ordered to hold a celebration banquet by the Tianchi on the first day of November!
Benhou wants Jun Xumi to kneel in front of Benhou, and watch how Benhou eats the lamb meat offered by him mouthful by mouthful! "

"Tianchi celebrates meritorious service, Kunmo offers sheep!"

Zhang Anshi had an idea and shouted, Tian Qianqiu and others were taken aback when they heard it, and quickly shouted:

"Tianchi celebrates meritorious service, Kunmo offers sheep!"

The surrounding soldiers of Habayashi Huben also shouted together, and then spread throughout the entire army. The eight characters shouted in pure Chinese were spread across the land under the roar of more than [-] people.

The envoy who came to Wusun this time happened to be able to understand Chinese. After he understood it, tears burst into his face instantly. He felt that he had betrayed the king and was about to draw his sword to kill himself, but was stopped by the surrounding soldiers.

Because he had heard a story that once the big man's oath was made, he would never give up if he didn't achieve his goal.

Unexpectedly, he actually saw a scene in this story with his own eyes. The fulfiller of the oath is still his country.

.........

The morning of November 22.

On the western front, Zhao Ponu led [-] Qiang troops all the way to the west, and met [-] Wusun troops blocking the way. Part of the Qiang army attacked and broke it.

Killed 270 three people, escaped more than [-], and captured the rest.

More than [-] war horses were captured, and all weapons, bows and crossbows were destroyed.

After abandoning the captives and heading west for thirty miles, the second and third divisions of the Qiang army smashed two major tribes and more than ten small tribes.

Two thousand four were beheaded, and the rest were captured.

More than 17 war horses, [-] cattle, [-] sheep, [-] stones of grain and [-] gold were seized.

Take a day off.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhao Chongguo had a town of [-] in the middle line, and [-] Wusun soldiers and horses blocked the road, and part of the town was destroyed.

Abandoned captives and traveled westward, breaking down a large tribe, three small tribes, and one or two schools guarding the four divisions of the town.

Then meet ten thousand Wusun soldiers and horses, break them again, and then break their tribe.

A total of [-] beheaded, more than [-] escaped, and the rest were captured.

More than 21 war horses, [-] cattle, [-] sheep, [-] stones of grain and [-] gold were seized.

On the same day, the Chinese army did not encounter the enemy.

On the same day, the West Army on the east front line did not encounter any enemies, and surrendered [-] tribes with a population of [-].

October 24.

Eight thousand enemies were encountered in the west of Dongxian Town, and they were easily broken.

Six hundred and seven were beheaded, and twenty-four thousand were captured.

Eighteen thousand war horses, eleven thousand cattle, twenty-seven thousand sheep, thirty-three thousand stones of grain and 14 gold were seized.

October 25.

When the Chinese army encountered [-] enemies, they charged heavily on heavy cavalry, followed by Guan Yu, who broke them lightly, and then broke their tribe.

Three thousand and two beheaded, more than five thousand escaped, and the rest were captured.

Thirty-seven thousand horses, thirty-one cattle, seventy-two sheep, forty-three thousand stones of grain and 35 gold were seized.

The Qiang Army on the Western Front encountered [-] enemies...

Encountered [-] enemies in the middle line town...

Encountering [-] enemies in the west of Dongxian Town...

In the early morning of October 27th, Huo Shan looked at the beheading and capture of the prisoners with emotion on his face.

Beheading 540 three, this is very detailed, and it must be detailed.

51 were captured, an approximate number. As for why there are so many, because the places that have been raided, as long as there are individuals, there are still 16 surrendered tribes.

But they are indeed captives, but after they are captured, they are left behind and left alone.

About 17 war horses, 20 cattle, 43 sheep, 19 shi of grain and 144 million gold and silver goods.

A bunch of greedy goods, they kept grabbing them in their arms, but they also left some for the tribes, and they didn't search them clean.

These captured things were not gathered together, soldiers and horses were left in various places to guard them, and the captives continued to raise them, except for the horses.

As for resistance, without horses, armor, bows and crossbows, what resistance do you have?
How to deal with these things, Huo Shan also has a plan in mind, 17 horses are not enough, he wants 20.

There is not enough food and grass, and there will be more follow-up negotiations. Gold and silver will definitely be brought back, and about half of the cattle and sheep will be needed. You will help me raise them first, and I will come to get them in the spring of next year.

Coupled with the 16 descendants, and their own tribe's cattle and sheep supplies, after this battle, Wusun will be devastated, that's for sure, this is the fate of breaking the covenant.

This battle was really simple, and Wusun's soldiers and horses basically collapsed at the first touch.

They are all joint soldiers and horses organized by various ministries in an emergency. It is normal to respond to the enemy in a panic and collapse at the touch of a touch.

The situation is very good, the only thing that annoys Huo Shan is that the abuse of vegetables is too cool, and too much time is wasted.

Before November, we must finish our departure, otherwise it will be a world of ice and snow. As long as we climb over the mountains and enter Dawan, then the problem will not be a big deal.

"Is Zhao Chongguo's north side in place?"

"Go back to the governor, it was already in place last night."

"Where is Zhao Puonu's west side?"

"Go back to the governor, and it's already in place."

"Well, has Li Ling set off yet?"

"Going back to the governor, we set off yesterday."

"Then let's get out of the camp, doesn't Jun Xu Mi still have [-] cavalry?

Let's meet him! "
