Chapter 985 Public Trial
A few days later, Li Cunxiao led his troops across the Tianshan Mountains and entered the territory of Xizhou.

Because Cao Cao was over fifty years old and had frequent attacks of head wind in recent years, he did not send troops to Dawan this time.Instead, he sat in Shule and summoned civilian husbands to supply food and grass for the army going on the expedition.

Knowing that Li Cunxiao raided the capital of Guishuang this time and captured Bodiao and nearly a hundred princes and ministers of Guishuang, Cao Cao was so excited that he couldn't close his mouth with joy, as if he personally sent troops to break the capital of Guishuang.

At the foot of Tianshan Mountain, Cao Cao led his troops to greet Li Cunxiao in person.

"How dare you ask the governor to greet him in person, the last general is really ashamed!" Seeing Cao Cao greet him in person, Li Cunxiao felt overwhelmed.

Cao Cao took Li Cunxiao's arm and laughed loudly: "General An's meritorious service is comparable to that of Wei Huo and Feng Lang Juxu. I, Cao Cao, welcome me personally, so what's the matter?"

Cao Cao welcomed Li Cunxiao into Shule City, and also inquired in detail about the Han army's fighting situation in Dawan during this period, as well as the details of Li Cunxiao's raid on Guishuang.

After listening to Li Cunxiao's explanation, Cao Cao frowned deeply, stroked his beard and said, "This wave of tunes would rather die than surrender. From this point of view, Guishuang's country is not monolithic."

"Oh? What did the governor say?" Li Cunxiao asked doubtfully.

Cao Cao analyzed to Li Cunxiao: "If Bodiao's rule is stable, it doesn't matter even if he submits a letter of surrender to my big man. But Bodiao would rather die than surrender, which means that there are not a few people in Guishuang who do not recognize him. If he Surrender will inevitably lose prestige, and many people will openly rebel against him at that time.

If he dies in your hands, it will be regarded as a good reputation for being strong and leading the disaster to my big man. At that time, the generals in Guishuang will continue to support his heirs to inherit the throne.

On the one hand, the Da Yuezhi was divided into five tribes, and it was Guishuang who unified the other four tribes.Thinking about it, the strength of other tribes still had remnants, and Bodiao knew that if he surrendered, the forces that rebelled against him would definitely flock to him.And he was killed by our army, but it may make his family continue to lead Guishuang, so this is why he wants to die. "

Li Cunxiao suddenly realized when he heard the words: "It turned out that this is the reason why Bo Tiao wanted to die. I remember General Kang Ju once said that the soldiers and horses in the west to prevent Anxi were no longer under the control of Bo Tiao, and they had already embraced their own self-esteem. It seems that Bo Tiao They are the ones who are afraid, but I brought the wave tune to the big man, is it right or wrong?"

Cao Cao laughed loudly and said: "Of course it is right. With the wave in our hands, even if the other forces in Guishuang are united, they would not dare to provoke my big man easily. And after this battle, Guishuang knows the strength of my big man , as long as they are not stupid, they will not dare to provoke my big man."

As he spoke, Cao Cao's expression also became grim, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty has something to say, those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away. I am a strong man, why should I be afraid of Guishuang? I have already punished them once. In the future, Guishuang will reunify again, if you dare to commit crimes again, you will be punished once."

"The governor is right. The gates of Lan's city are very dilapidated. If they don't rebuild a strong gate, I don't mind breaking them down again." Li Cunxiao also laughed.

Cao Cao laughed loudly and said: "Haha, with General An here, what a mere Guishuang is, I have already ordered people to prepare wine and dinner, and after eating, I will quickly set off for Luoyang."

After eating and drinking, Li Cunxiao stopped staying and headed eastward to Luoyang.

When Li Cunxiao was still on the way, Liu Bian received the good news from the courier sent by Li Cunxiao in Luoyang.

As early as when Li Cunxiao was fighting in Guishuang, Liu Bian heard the continuous reminders from the system, and vaguely guessed that Li Cunxiao might have broken through the capital of Guishuang.

However, after receiving the good news from Li Cunxiao, Liu Bian still couldn't restrain his joy and excitement from the bottom of his heart.

What country is Guishuang?This is not a small country like the Han Dynasty, Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Goguryeo.

Guishuang is the four empires in history, which are as famous as the Han Dynasty, Anxi, and Rome.

If ordinary soldiers and horses had won, Liu Bian would not have been like this, but now Li Cunxiao has broken through the capital of Guishuang, captured the king of Guishuang and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, and returned.This kind of victory is an unprecedented victory.

Perhaps in the hearts of Cao Cao, Zhao Yun and others, this victory is comparable to Huo Qubing's Feng Lang Ju Xu.But Liu Bian felt that the significance of this victory was far greater than Huo Qubing's Feng Lang Ju Xu.

In the hearts of ordinary people, they are not familiar with Guishuang, and perhaps this time's victory is not worth a prince who perished the great Han.

But Liu Bian felt that this victory should be widely publicized, and by virtue of this victory, to promote national cohesion.Emphasize the idea that "those who offend our strong man will be punished even if they are far away", and deter surrounding aliens.

The message from the messenger came just in time for the Luoyang court meeting.

After hearing the good news from the messenger, the civil and military ministers of the court were also very happy, but they didn't pay much attention to it.After all, Guishuang is far to the west. For these civil and military ministers, the affairs of the west are irrelevant.

Xun Yu cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, now General An has escorted King Guishuang and the princes and ministers to Luoyang. As far as I can see, it is better for Your Majesty to summon them and ask King Guishuang to present a letter of surrender, and then put them back to show your majesty His magnanimity. After this battle, Guishuang will no longer be an enemy of my big man."

Liu Bian shook his head and said, "No, I don't intend to do that!"

Then Liu Bian looked at Wei Xiaokuan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and said in a deep voice: "Wei Aiqing, after An Jingsi escorts Bodiao and others back, I will publicly try Bodiao in Luoyang. You immediately send people to build a school ground in the city and publicize it. At that time, I want the people of Luoyang to see this grand event."

"Your Majesty..." Wei Xiaokuan frowned slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Lord Xun is right. Your Majesty doesn't have to treat King Guishuang like this, and your public trial of Guishuang will completely cut off Guishuang's chance to seek peace from the big man. In the future, the western , I'm afraid the war will continue."

In Wei Xiaokuan's view, Liu Bian's move was too similar to that of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. He was very happy and aggressive.Back then, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty went to war with Dawan just for a few bloody horses, now Liu Bian is going to follow in the footsteps of his ancestors.

Liu Bian waved his hand and said, "I understand what you mean, but in the west, Dawan, Kangju and other countries have already joined forces with our big man. If Guishuang is against my big man, borrow Kangju, Dawan It is enough for the national power to check and balance Guishuang, and it will not consume too much national power for my big man.

The reason why I want to publicly try King Guishuang is to let the people of the big man know the strength of my big man and to unite the hearts of the people.At the same time, it deters all princes and alien races.

Words are not just about talking, but about doing what you say.Back then, Chen Tang said that anyone who dared to offend my strong man would be punished even if he was far away, but he only said this after defeating the Xiongnu.Now I am the first to release this sentence, and I am defeating Guishuang.The reason why I want to publicly try Guishuang Bodiao is also to establish the prestige of the big man, so that the powerful enemies around the big man will not dare to offend my strong man!
