Chapter 346 Chaos in the City (4.1K)

The next day.

"Governor, the envoys of Dawan and Kangju are here again."

Hearing Sun Shang's report, Huo Shan said without raising his head:
"Ignore them for now, let's talk about it later!"

Then he ignored Sun Shang and told Zhao Puonu:

"You go to observe our army's barracks again to see if it is appropriate, and you must also do a good job of preparing for the night.

Our army is too close to Guishan City, less than ten miles away, so don't let the enemy attack at night. "

"I will understand at the end."

"Gongsun Jingsheng, you have arranged the food and grass here, and Zhao Puonu, you should also send someone to look after it. There will be no accidents elsewhere. Unfortunately, if Guishan makes a desperate fight and burns the food and grass, we have to go out to fight against the cold wind. .”

"I understand."

"Tian Qianqiu, please count the battle reports from various places as soon as possible. After the statistics are calculated, Guishan will send the battle report to the imperial court. It should be very simple to count only beheading and damage."

"The minister takes orders."

"Cousin and Sima Qian, you two should help too."

Both of them agreed, and there was one more important thing to do, but Huo Shan looked around and found that there was no one to send, so he set his sights on Xiao Lizi who was standing aside.

"Little plum."

"exist."

"The craftsmen will start building champion cannons from today. Give them a day to build ten of them for me, and then collect hundreds of compliant boulders, cloud carts, and rush carts. You don't need to build them. You go to supervise the work."

Little Lizi was a little surprised and said:

"Ah, then who will serve the governor?"

Huo Shan glanced at him angrily:
"I don't have you, can't I know how to dress or eat? There are so many people, and there is no one to serve me?
If you are asked to go, please respond quickly. You are also a supervisor. Go see the world. "

"The servant knows."

"Ok?"

"Uh, the minister takes orders."

"Ah."

After Huo Shan finished speaking, Zhao Puonu excitedly proposed:

"Great governor, isn't ten platforms a bit too small?
No matter what, you have to get [-] sets, ten sets at a time, and fuck his mother together! "

Huo Shan rolled his eyes:
"How about you make it?"

Zhao Ponu waved his hands with a hippie smile:
"Hey~, my old Zhao can't even hit a knife, how can I have that ability!"

Huo Shan glared at him, then said:

"In such a small city, there are ten towers, and a hundred boulders can smash through its city walls. What do you need so many? It's a waste of manpower and material resources.

This time, it will be destroyed if it is used up. It is a waste. "

Zhao Ponu slapped his head:
"I forgot about it."

Such large equipment, as well as strong bows and sharp crossbows, are not a big problem with continuous crossbows. The main ones are god arm crossbows. In the Western Regions, they cannot keep a single one.

This kind of thing is too harmful and must be controlled by the court.

In the afternoon, Tian Qianqiu sent over the statistics of the battle reports from various places.

Huo Shan picked it up and looked at it, and beheaded [-] people, including those who were burned to death at the foot of the eastern mountain.

Self-inflicted damage to more than 300 people is still acceptable!

After reading these two points, Huo Shan put down the summary, not because Huo Shan didn't want to read anything else, but because he only had these two points to watch.

As for cattle, sheep, horses, grain, grass, gold and silver, etc., there are too many to count. Everyone is in a hurry and there is no time to count them. It is estimated that they will be counted next year.

As for how to write the battle report for Chang'an, of course it is countless.

After the first battle in Guishan, the beheadings were collected, and the total population of Dawan was subtracted from the beheadings, and a little more was added, because there must be a hidden population, and the rest were all captives.

Huo Shan got up and walked outside the big tent, looked at Guishan City in the distance, and muttered in a low voice:
"Don't worry, today is the second day, tomorrow is the third day to rest for two days, and the next day is the day of your death. Go to the city in one day and capture all the enemies."

Huo Shan stood for a while, looked at Guishan City through the army, and then said to Sun Shang next to him:
"Bring up the messenger!"

"Dare to ask the governor, or take Kangju first?"

"Ah."

Not long after, the Kangju envoy was brought over, and as soon as he entered the tent, he knelt down on the ground, then walked into the tent, lay on the ground, and chattered non-stop.

Huo Shan looked at this scene playfully, where did this happen!

This is the first time I have come here three times.

"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, the envoy of Kangju Xiaoguo pays homage to the champion of the Great Han Heavenly Kingdom."

After hearing what the translator said, Huo Shan asked:
"Exact words?"

"Back to the governor, yes."

Huo Shan smiled, but then returned to a calm face:
"Let him be polite, get up and answer."

Then the envoy of Kangju stood up, lowered his head, not daring to look at Huo Shan.

Huo Tan looked at the Kangju envoy's appearance and pouted immediately:

"Ask him directly, what is the condition this time?"

After a conversation, the translator said again:
"To the Governor, I, Kangju, retreated from Dawan Guishan City, and I am willing to pay the price for this mistake."

"Ask him, how much will it cost?"

"I heard that the champion Hou loves horses, treasured swords and gold, and Kang Ju is willing to offer twenty BMWs, twenty precious swords and 30 gold to the champion Hou.

I am willing to offer 20 gold, [-] horses, [-] cattle, and [-] sheep to the great man, and I am willing to sign an alliance with the great man with the countries of the Western Regions. "

Huo Shan frowned, not knowing where they got the news, but he didn't worry about it.

Who doesn't love gold?The soldiers under Huo Shan's command love gold the most, gems are not as popular as gold.

Probably from here they guessed that Huo Shan loves gold.

As for the horses and swords, Huo Shan has been searching for them since he entered the Western Regions, so it's not surprising that they knew about them.

But he was just looking for reward generals, he could collect a few of them himself, as for the horses, he had the champion and Li Yu enough.

"Tell him it's not enough, ask him if he can do it, and let him add more."

After hearing this, the envoy discussed with the deputy envoy who came in together, and after a while, they stated the conditions again.

The things given to Huo Shan were increased by almost half, that is, the BMW and the precious sword were 40 each, and the gold was [-].

For the big man, 22 gold, [-] horses, [-] cattle, and [-] sheep are willing to sign an alliance with the big man.

The meaning of the last sentence is that only the big man is the main one, express it verbally, and don't pay anything else.

After Huo Shan finished listening, he smiled and said to the translator:
"It seems that in their minds, I am more important than a big man!

But it's normal, the big man is thousands of miles away, and my army is right in front of us.

But I was not satisfied, so I told them, I don’t need to add any more to mine, and adding another hundred thousand gold is enough, and the big man’s money is not enough, it’s far from enough. "

Then the envoy discussed it again, and the last sentence did not change. It seemed that this was their bottom line. Huo Shan had no objection to this, and Huo Shan did not ask them to make offerings every year.

The gold added another 25, [-], the horses did not change, still [-], the cattle increased [-], [-], the sheep did not change, still [-].

Huo Shan was very dissatisfied after hearing this, and asked the translator:
"Is it because you didn't translate correctly, or did they not understand the meaning of the word translate?
I let them turn up, not let them grind slowly. "

The translator saluted first, then raised his head and said:
"Back to the governor, my translation is absolutely accurate, but these barbarians are reluctant to add."

Huo Tan smiled and shook his head:
"Okay, since there is no problem, tell them, 50 gold, [-] horses, [-] cattle, and [-] sheep. These are my conditions. If you agree, you will agree to it. If you can't, you will leave immediately.

If you can't be the master, go back and report, I will only wait for them for two days and two nights, including today. "

Huo Shan wanted 50 gold, and it wasn't for himself. The family had too much money to let go, but Huo Shan would not give the money to the big man, he wanted to give it to Yulin Huben.

Of course, he from Yulin will personally reward him, but he will not personally reward the Huben army. The Huben army is the emperor's own army, even if he dares, he can't do this.

But there is still a prince in this army, just to let him calm down, Huo Shan is going to put the three thousand tigers under Liu Ju's command, so there is no need to worry about Liu Che's suspicion.

As for whether Liu Che will give it or not, it's not a problem, if you don't give it, you have to give it, and if it bothers you, it will bother you to death.

As for your wanting a mighty army, isn't the emperor's majesty and identity representative of the emperor's status, the tiger is changed to the prince's guard, and the emperor's pro-army is revoked.

As for the emperor's army, let's train for you again, train an army of 5 people, capable of sweeping the world!
After the translator finished translating, the envoys saluted.

"Report to the Governor, they are going to go back to discuss."

Huo Shan nodded, the envoys retreated, and then Huo Shan told Tian Qianqiu:

"Prepare an order to ask Zhao Chongguo to let them go out, and then ask Sun Shang to send someone to Zhao Chongguo to confirm these people, lest they change people midway and let the big man run away."

"promise."

"Dare to ask the governor, if there is really a big shot, what should we do?"

"Do I need to say that? Get it back."

"Uh, I understand."

In fact, Tian Qianqiu naturally understood it in his heart, but he had drawn up an order, so he had to ask to understand.

Just like this matter, what if Huo Shan wanted Zhao Chongguo to deal with it directly, but Huo Shan didn't think of it for a while?

His responsibilities as a clerk, in addition to the battle report and the information exchanged, are responsible for drafting edicts and decrees, and it is his duty to check for gaps and make up for omissions.

Then the Dawan envoy was brought up.

He hates the country of Dawan very much. As for the reason, it is probably because they are too stupid and the enemy is too weak to challenge!
Although Wusun was destroyed by Huo Shan, their strength is still acceptable.

It's just that Huo Shan just happened to meet this point. They just got a new owner in the country, the situation is very chaotic, and there are also a group of people who defected to the enemy.

The nobles who did not vote in the country also resisted, but their own side is too strong.

But Dawan, who was indifferent in front, thought they were tough, but when they got to the ground, it was a simple matter, just wait and see!
The Western Regions is really a magical place, with all kinds of countries.

Huo Shan asked the envoy what their conditions were, they still had hope and tried to be treated the same as Wusun, but can you compare with Wusun?
Huo Shan felt that there was nothing to talk about, so he directly said that your lord was tied up and sent here, and then he offered his land and all his property, Dawan Kingdom was destroyed, and then he sent them back.

Early the next morning, Huo Shan asked Sun Shang while washing up:

"Did there be any movement in Guishan City last night?"

"Back to the chief governor, there was a bit of shouting and killing, but it was fleeting, and it calmed down after a while."

"Then, has there been any change in Guishan City today?"

"The defense is stronger. Baiqi rushed out of the west city gate. It seemed to be protecting someone and went to Zhao Chongguo."

Huo Shan nodded:
"Then wait and see who it is."

As soon as Huo Shan finished speaking, the scouts came to report, and rushed out with a hundred riders, many of them were shot and killed by the city head, and then a battle broke out at the west gate, and after a while, the gate opened, and nearly a thousand riders rushed out again. Like a family, like a union of various families.

Less than a quarter of an hour later, the scouts came to report again, and another two hundred horses rushed out.

After the lunch break, Sun Shang reported that another three hundred horses had rushed out at noon.

In the afternoon, no one rushed out of the West Gate. It seemed that the Lord of Dawan had strengthened his defenses. However, a group of troops rushed out of the South Gate in the afternoon. They were around forty, and all of them were injured.

The entire city of Guishan was in chaos.

In the evening, the people who ran out, except for the nobleman who went to the south and was caught by the scouts, the others who went to the west were sent by Zhao Chongguo.

"Tell me, who is there?"

"Back to the governor, the first group of people who were protected looked like Dawan, Baiqi swore unyielding, there was not a single one left, they were all shot to death."

Huo Shan nodded:
"Warrior, have a proper burial.

The Lord of Dawan arranged the funeral and sent his heirs to flee. It seems that he is ready to resist to the death. What about the others? "

"The second team is the joint team of nobles in Guishan City, and the third team is the Lord of Kucha..."

After listening, Huo Shan nodded:
"Have you asked, what happened in Guishan City from last night to today?"

"Going back to the Governor, I asked. After the envoy entered the city yesterday, he told the Lord Dawan about the conditions. It is said that he was furious and vowed to live and die with Dawan.

In order to avoid leaking the news, other envoys were killed, leaving only the most trusted one, and then a large army was arranged to guard the palace overnight.

But this most trusted person is said to have passed the news on through Dawan soldiers.

Then the nobles in the city brought their soldiers and horses to attack the palace, but they were easily wiped out by the Lord of Dawan.

The army surrounded the palace, and they had no choice. After learning that the Lord of Dawan sent the prince out of the city, the nobles in the city also began to gather and flee.

Because the Xicheng soldiers and horses were mobilized too much, they were rushed out. "

Huo Shan nodded. He felt that the Lord of Dawan was already in a daze. He probably couldn't figure it out. Isn't it just to kill a few of your big man's envoys and destroy a few of your big man's caravans? As for that?
He was probably full of grief and indignation, and then after Huo Shan entered the Western Regions, he was ecstatic and disappointed again and again, and then despaired, so it was a bit abnormal.

But Huo Shan just wanted to tell him, as for, very as for, let alone caravan envoys, if you kill me a Han, I will come and kill you.

"Chop off their heads, I will be useful tomorrow."

"The prince's was chopped off too?"

"Cut it off, what's the use of keeping him?

If you want to completely control this land, you have to wipe out all the traces of the old forces, including the royal family and nobles, and finally give the people a better life, and it will naturally be stable. As for control, let's talk about it! "
