Chapter 333 Finish the fight early and spend the winter early (4.2K)

Just about halfway through the road, the scouts came to report:
"Report to the Governor, the Wusun envoy is here."

"Oh, I see."

After the scouts left, Huo Shan turned his head and asked Zhang Anshi:
"How many times is this?"

"Back to the governor, since we entered the territory of Wusun, it's the seventh wave."

Huo Shan nodded, and then ordered:
"Tian Qianqiu, go and have a look."

"The minister takes orders!"

Two hours later, Tian Qianqiu returned and brought back the conditions brought by the Wusun envoy.

The Wusun Kingdom is willing to surrender to the great Han, offering 20 horses, 30 cattle, 100 sheep, [-] stones of grain and grass, and [-] million gold.

After Huo Shan finished listening, he turned his head and smiled and asked everyone:

"What do you think?"

Zhang Anshi arched his hands and said with a smile:

"I think it is more appropriate to double it, and then use [-]% of it every year as an offering to my big man."

"20 horses, [-] cattle, [-] sheep, [-] stone grains, and [-] gold every year, your appetite is really big.

After taking out the previous compensation for this battle, within a few years, Wusun will have to be hollowed out. "

Huo Shan squinted his eyes and thought about how suitable it should be, when Liu Ju suddenly said:

"Do you want some more land?"

"This is for sure."

In terms of land, Huo Shan had already made a plan. Chigu City and the nearly [-]-mile land on the South Road, as well as the nearly [-]-mile large plain on the north side of the Tianshan Mountains, had to come.

Otherwise, there would be no place to arrange for the tribes that surrendered to Yougu Liwang and Wusun!

Can you control it? Besides, the land must come here, and this name must be placed here.

"20 war horses, 30 cattle, 40 sheep, 300 shi of grain and [-] million gold.

The land is three hundred miles away from Chigu City and its surroundings, and the thousand-mile plain on the north side of the Tianshan Mountains.

As for the future coins, [-] horses and [-] gold, what do you think? "

Huo Shan's method, Wusun can definitely bear it, and this method is very targeted.

To fight horses and weaken Wusun's strength, cattle and sheep are 30 and [-] respectively, which is really not a lot for Wusun as a whole.

According to the algorithm of one cow and three sheep, there are 60 cows and 180 million sheep. It is impossible to have so many, but there are still 40 cows and 150 million sheep.

Food and grass are used by themselves and must be needed.

As for gold, the countries in the Western Regions are extremely rich in this regard, and the gold and silver goods must be paid by the nobles of Wusun. The life of ordinary people is not as good as that of the Huns, basically like slaves. They have no money. .

As for the tribes that surrendered, their property, from the moment they surrendered, has been owned by the big man.

In the future, the old coins will also require horses and money, weaken their strength, and empty out the wealth of the great nobles.

Regarding this condition, Jun Xu Mi must agree to it no matter what, even if he does not agree, Huo Shan will make him agree.

After this time, his life will definitely be difficult, and it is not impossible to become a bereaved dog.

The German aristocrats in Wusun will definitely put all the reasons on Jun Xumi, and the big guys can't afford it, and they will choose to forget it.

His teeth itch from being hated by the nobles in the country, how can his life be easier?

Therefore, he had to and only had one choice, to stand up for Huo Shan, and he would do whatever Huo Shan said.

Otherwise, let alone being the lord of a country, life may be lost.

As for Huo Shan, such a person was really needed in Wusun, who else could be more suitable than Jun Xumi?
Naturally, everyone didn't refute Huo Shan's proposition, and they all nodded in agreement.

"Then go tell the Wusun envoy and see if Jun Xu Mi will agree."

This place is very close to Junxumi's tribe, so in the evening, Junxumi sent a message, agreeing to Huo Shan's request.

What else can Huo Shan say, two words, knowledgeable.

At this time, it is up to him to agree or not. Now that he agrees, his tribe has not been attacked, and he can still save some face.

Jun Xumi is also a smart person, he probably has some predictions about his future situation, this is entering the state ahead of time!

Huo Shan threw the Wusun Guoshu onto the desk and leaned back:
"No need to fight!"

Liu Ju laughed beside him and said:
"It's a good thing. We'll finish things here sooner. We'll leave for Dawan earlier. It's getting late."

Huo Shan nodded:
"Then let's set off after the celebration banquet. Li Ling probably won't be able to catch up. Send an order to tell him not to come here, and slaughter the sheep to celebrate!"

"promise."

"We also have to prepare in advance. Regarding cattle and sheep, let Jun Xumi send over [-] sheep first. At this time, the sheep are fattening, and the [-] will be eaten for the celebration banquet. The rest will be used as military rations for the next few days.

40 stones of grain and grass were assembled from various places, and camels, horses and other livestock were collected from various ministries for transportation.

Ben Hou took one hundred thousand stones with the army, and transported the rest to Chigu, and asked Zhong Gan to arrange them to Chigu and Qiuci.

Let him send 300 million gold to Chigu City after our army leaves. As for the remaining cattle and sheep, send part of them to spend the winter, and let them raise the rest first, and we will come to get them in the spring of next year.

Let Zhong Gan figure out how much. "

As for the booty, it is not counted anymore, it is all included in the compensation. If so much compensation is required to take away the booty, Wusun will be finished directly.

Don't forget, there are still 16 people who surrendered to the big man. Just like this, Wusun has also been devastated.

In the future, there will be a big man watching from the side, and if you want to prosper again, let's take 50 years as a unit!

.........

Early the next morning, after Zhao Puonu, Zhao Chongguo and others had arranged for the horses, they all came to Huo Shan's side.

As soon as everyone entered, they bowed and saluted, and shouted:

"Congratulations to the governor, congratulations to the governor."

Huo Shan looked at them with a smile on his face:

"Congratulations on what, congratulations on what?"

Everyone froze in place immediately. They didn't discuss this in advance, but Zhao Chongguo was more clever, and said quickly:

"Congratulations to the chief governor for making another extraordinary achievement, defeating 20 troops, and taking Wusun down.

Congratulations to the great governor who has expanded the land for thousands of miles and left his name in history! "

Huo Shan was a little bit dumbfounded, where did the 20 troops come from, and spread the land for thousands of miles, this was only in name, and when all the countries in the Western Regions signed an alliance, it would be considered that this name was truly confirmed.

But Huo Shan also smiled and bowed to everyone:
"Happy together!"

Everyone looked at each other and started laughing.

It is true that we should rejoice, Huo Shan's credit is also their credit.

After the crowd had been boisterous for a while, they all became more serious, and Zhao Puonu raised his hands and asked for everyone:
"Dare to ask the commander-in-chief, what should our army do next?"

The generals also knew that it was getting late, and there was no time to delay.

"The next step is to attack Dawan, and we came here for it. After entering the Western Regions, this battle has not stopped.

Hurry up and destroy Dawan, so that our army can stabilize. The next two years will be the most critical moment. Whether we, a big man, can take root in the Western Regions will depend on the next two years.

So the war must end within this year. "

Thinking of this, Huo Shan had a headache. In the next one or two years, Huo Shan would definitely not be able to return to the big man. He had to sit here, and when he basically settled down and the general direction was set, he could leave.

But according to Huo Shan's estimate, next year or so will be almost the same.

It's not that he can settle down in almost one year, but that Huo Shan only needs to stay here for one year.

Yiwu, Cheshi, and Dongqiemi only need to open up wasteland to grow food, and build towns and houses during the slack season.

Kucha, Chigu, and Dawan are actually relatively simpler, they are all nomadic, herding cattle and sheep, and opening some wasteland.

Moreover, Dawan has developed agriculture and has a lot of arable land.

Besides, Huo Shan didn't need to worry too much about these things. The big man will send officials over next year. With so many talents under his command, it's fine to arrange them.

He just needs to control it in the general direction.

With soldiers and food, stability will naturally come.

In this year's war, all the trade routes have been cut off. When the caravans are together next year, the various places will gradually become prosperous, even more prosperous than before.

Dawan, Chigu, Qiuci, Dongqiemi, Cheshi, and Yiwu have formed a single line, and the trade route will be much safer than before.

There will be no problems with military households. The governor of the Western Regions only needs to control the 20 alien soldiers and horses. In the overall situation, there will be no problems in the Western Regions.

As for the 20 alien soldiers and horses, as long as Huo Shan lives for a day, they will have no problems.

With soldiers in hand, the countries in the Western Regions will naturally have food. The places under their control are all places where money gathers, so just use money to buy food.

Today's big man, the most important thing is money.

Huo Shan did some calculations, and in this battle of the Western Regions, he estimated that he could get over tens of millions of gold and silver alone.

Wusun had three hundred, and Dawan was wiped out directly. The five hundred that had been accumulated from generation to generation is still there, and this is eight hundred. There is no problem with the rest of the two hundred along the way.

This is already over ten million, not counting the Youguli King's family, which is also a huge rich man.

However, how much you get does not mean how much you can save. Afterwards, money will be spent everywhere, and money will be spent in all aspects.

Huo Shan's goal, in terms of money, is to see if he can earn a Chang'an city.

Of course, it's just this battle, controlling these places, and the follow-up money will continue to flow.

The business tax must also be launched, and the Western Regions are stable, and the whole big man will be mobilized, and no one is willing to give up the opportunity to make money.

So, if you survive the past few years, you will get better and better in the future. Sometimes things are so simple.

In the Qiang land, the Western Regions, and the Xiongnu behind, Huo Shan can be said to have defeated most of the big men, and the more he beat the big men, the stronger he became. I don't know how future generations will evaluate him!
.........

After listening to Huo Shan's words, Zhao Ponu looked at Huo Shan expectantly and asked:

"I don't know how many soldiers and horses the governor plans to bring?"

"Haha, don't worry, I will definitely take you with me."

Zhao Puonu immediately burst into laughter, other people saw this scene, they were envious, the governor really dotes on Zhao Puonu!

In this case, going to Dawan will not bring all the soldiers and horses, anyone with a discerning eye can see it.

Therefore, when other people heard that Zhao Puonu would go, they all stared at Huo Shan eagerly, only the old god Zhao Chongguo was sitting there.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that he won't bring all the soldiers and horses, but Zhao Chongguo is a smart man. He thinks that his town will definitely go, but he is still a little nervous.

"Habayashi Huben, Guanyu Army, Zhenyu Army, that's all, the rest don't need to go."

After the words were finished, most of the people were delighted, while the other half were very disappointed.

Especially Zhao Puonu, who became anxious in an instant. He just said that he would let me go, but now he is not going?

Huo Shan glared at Zhao Ponu who was about to speak, and immediately let Zhao Ponu swallow the words that were on his lips.

"What's the rush, if the Qiang army doesn't go, it doesn't mean you won't go either.

Not only you, Zhao Ponu, Su Xian and Li Guangli are also going.

You come to lead the Guan Yu army, Shangguan Jie comes to lead the second part of Guan Yu, and the third part will be handed over to Dong Ming.

Su Xian went to fill in Shangguan Jie's vacancy and lead the second department of Zhenyu, and Li Guangli went to lead the third department. "

The generals in this era will lead the army, and the soldiers under their command will follow the commander and have a very strong demeanor, so they can't easily change generals like Huo Shan, otherwise accidents will happen.

But these soldiers now have no such risk. There are also generals and schools in the army, so they can be changed as they want.

Speaking of Dong Ming, this young man has improved so fast. He didn't read many books before entering Yulin, but he was selected into Yulin because of his fast running speed and strong endurance.

But he never stopped studying. He learned a lot while staying with Huo Shan, and he worked very hard and knew how to ask for advice.

This time Huo Shan handed over [-] troops to him, ready for him to practice and put what he thought into action, but he didn't expect that he brought a decent army.

Nothing outstanding, but no mistakes.

Although these soldiers and horses have generals and schools in the army, the low-level soldiers are convinced because Dong Ming is under Huo Shan's command and will not stab them.

But leading an army of [-] without making mistakes, can you say that he is incompetent?
That's an army of 20. Don't look at Huo Shan leading an army of 20 across the Western Regions, but he can't lead an army of [-].

Not to mention 20, [-] is enough, Huo Shan thinks [-] is the most suitable for him.

No accidents have happened so far, because Huo Shan has a group of capable generals under his command, and they are all cavalry, they can come and go freely, the speed is very fast, the soldiers are strong, and the enemy is too weak.

Huo Shan only needs to get food and grass, and give a general policy on how to arrange it, and don't worry about other details.

When fighting, Huo Shan only needs to arrange the order, what do you do for me, there is no need for detailed planning, the enemy is weak and there is no need for this.

So because of these and other reasons, Huo Shan was invincible with an army of 20, giving people the illusion that he has this ability.

It's like Huo Shan brought millions of military households to the Western Regions, and he was well-organized along the way, but in fact most of them were not his ability.

When Wei Qing selected people for him, he always arranged capable people. When Huo Shan gave orders, he only needed to tell them what I needed, and other subordinates would arrange it.

However, you can make people do things well, which is also considered a skill. Fame plays a big role, but it can't be counted as everything.

And in the big picture, no one can compare with Huo Shan.

"Your Qiang army, follow Zhengxi back to Guizi, give them some money and cattle and sheep next year, and they can go back, it's useless to stay here, it's a waste of food and grass.

The soldiers and horses in the Western Expedition Army were complex, with the Xiongnu belonging to the country, some from the tribe of King Youguli, and some under the command of King Youguli.

This year is going to be the winter, so let's do this first, and then assign and dispatch next year, and we will talk about next year's affairs next year.

Li Ling led Zhenxi to guard Chigu, so that no one in Wusun would take advantage of the chaos, and Fu Yu, Zhao Guan and others were all transferred to Zhenxi.

Let them practice how to lead a large army. There is no room for them to play in Dawan.

In order not to stay in Habayashi all the time, there will be no chance to waste them in the future. "
