Three Kingdoms Swept the World II

Chapter 263 The Mysterious Army

The long road is long and let me go, with courage and enthusiasm, to find myself and true feelings, don't regard the place where I stop as my hometown.

Greet the sun, the moon, and the wind, please let the wind wash away my madness, let me be drunk and happy in the future, and never touch my knife or gun again.

In the singing, Qin Feng led his [-] expeditionary army across mountains, rivers, grasslands, and deserts.

He followed the footprints of Qiang Qu, all the way west.

In a month's time, even after traveling five thousand miles, there was no sign of the Qiang Canal.This is because the Qiang Canal started early, and Qin Feng was ordered by the emperor to prepare for the expedition, which was delayed for half a month.

Riding a horse and galloping in a wild land, sometimes there is no road at all.

Qin Cao Yuan Liu had a hard life, often with red eyes, unshaven beard, and tired appearance.

On this day, the army chased to the junction of Wusun State and Cheshi State in the northern part of the Western Regions, and then went west to "Ilie", which is the western part of the Yili Grassland in Xinjiang.

Qin Feng ordered the army to rest temporarily in the middle reaches of the Yili River. There are many traces of the Huns stationed on both sides of the river, which shows that Qin Feng did not chase the Xiongnu King Qiang Canal.

Cao Cao squatted by the river, stretched out his head like a giraffe, washed his face with the sweet river water, sneezed, and suppressed: "Damn Qiang Qu, how can you run like this?"

Liu Bei, who was lying on the side, plunged headlong into the water. When he came out, he shook his big ears that were dripping water and said, "General Cao, do you know what nationality the Huns are?"

Cao Cao was taken aback, "Prairie people."

"Wrong." Liu Bei smiled, stretched out a hand, twisted and snaked, and said: "It's nomads, nomads, the focus is on the word You, understand?"

Cao Cao's face darkened immediately.

However, what Liu Bei said also makes sense. Nomads are good at running in wild places.Qin Feng and the others are indeed a little inferior in this respect.This is also the reason why they have not caught up with the Qiang Qu. Many times, they found the traces of the Qiang Qu running away, and only then did they find the way to the west in the wild wilderness.

After a while, the large tent of the Chinese army was settled down.

Qin, Cao, Yuan and Liu entered the account for discussion.

"Brother Zijin, if we keep chasing like this, I'm afraid even if we catch up, the four of us will not be able to go back." Cao Cao blushed.

Qin Feng didn't look good either, and said: "Your Majesty has ten servants by his side, if we don't chase after him, we won't end well when we go back."

Cao Yuan and Liu were silent when they heard the words, gnashing their teeth one by one, wishing they could eat the ten servants.

At this time, Dian Wei brought in a person from the Western Regions and said, "My lord, I found a local person, but I don't understand their language, so I can't communicate."

Qin Feng waved his hand, "It's okay, I understand, bring it in."

"You understand?" Cao Yuanliu looked at Qin Feng in surprise.

After a while, an uncle dressed in Western Regions walked in, and Qin Feng said kindly to the visitor: "Don't be afraid, uncle, we are the army of the big Han. I ask you, have you ever seen a Hun army?" Team, pass here?"

The uncle of the Western Regions was terrified at first, and his language was different. Now that Qin Fengfeng spoke the Western Region dialect, he immediately felt a sense of closeness, and hurriedly said: "This general, just half a month ago, there was indeed a large group of people passing by here. See I kill people and grab things when I see them, fortunately I run fast..."

Qin Feng hurriedly asked again: "Where did they go?"

The uncle of the Western Regions said: "Those people entered the hinterland of the Western Regions, burned, killed and looted all the way, and the other villains don't know about it."

Qin Feng comforted him with kind words, and let the man go.When I turned around to look at Cao Yuanliu, I saw that the three of them had grown their mouths and looked unbelievable.

Cao Cao was the first to close his mouth and said in surprise, "Zi Jin, do you understand Western Region dialect?"

Qin Feng smiled slightly and said, "I understand a little bit."

"When did you learn it?" Liu Bei couldn't believe it.

Qin Feng said with a smile: "When I traveled around the world in my early years, I also came to the Western Regions, and learned the Western Region dialect from the locals."

"Wizard..." Cao Yuan and Liu were shocked.At first, they didn't believe that Qin Feng could travel the whole world at a young age, but this time they saw that Qin Feng could speak the language of the Western Regions, and they believed too much.

In fact, Qin Feng did not travel to many places in this life, but he traveled to too many places in his last life.In his previous life, as a diligent emperor, he dealt with all the nations of the world under his rule, so he learned the languages ​​of many nations.For example, Western Region languages, Nordic languages, Roman languages, Indian languages, Egyptian languages ​​and so on.Wherever he ruled, he would learn the languages ​​of the local peoples, and so on.

If it is said that Qin Fengfeng spoke so many foreign languages, even the linguists of later generations would be far behind, and the studious Emperor Kangxi would stand aside.

Dian Wei and Xu Chu immediately showed a complacent look in front of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, which means, my lord is much better than your eldest brother, and it depends on whether you still brag about Liu Bei.

Gao Shun admired his lord even more, and Xun Yu hastily took out a pen and paper to record these.

After half a day of rest, Qin Feng led the army into the Western Region.

The news of the **** army's arrival spread among the countries in the Western Regions.

Twenty thousand cavalry, twenty thousand excellent cavalry!

Many years ago, only [-] cavalry were enough to let the countries of the Western Regions experience the power of heaven. Now that [-] cavalry came, the countries of the Western Regions were shocked.

The nearest Wusun Kingdom and Cheshi Kingdom immediately sent envoys to meet Qin Feng's army.

The next day, Qin Feng was in the army and received envoys from Wusun and Che Shi.

The envoys of the two countries burst into tears when they paid homage.But Qin Feng's words were sharp, and afterward, the expressions of the envoys from the two countries changed drastically, and they left obediently.

After the envoy left, Cao Cao scratched his head, and asked on behalf of Cao Yuan, Liu and the generals, "Brother Zijin, what did you chatter with them? Brother, I didn't understand a word."

"These two envoys said that the Huns plundered the countries in the Western Regions. The countries were unable to resist and suffered heavy losses. After the Huns plundered them, they went all the way west. They were afraid that the Huns would come back and asked our army, capable of destroying the Huns."

Qin Feng said solemnly again: "This commander warned them that no matter what happens in the Central Plains, the Western Regions will always be China's territory. And the imperial army will soon return to the Western Regions. Those who obey will be protected, and those who do not obey will be punished." was wiped out."

"well said!"

Qin Feng's words aroused the national pride of Cao Cao and others.

Liu Bei slapped his ears and said, "Marshal, why don't these people from the Western Regions pay tribute?"

Qin Feng said displeasedly: "There are many ringworms, you and I have seen many ruins of villages and towns after the Huns looted. The people in the Western Regions have been slaughtered and looted, and now there is nothing to snatch. As a **** Shangguo, don't make things worse."

Liu Bei was very embarrassed when he heard this.

Five days later, Qin Feng's army passed through Dawan Kingdom.

Envoys from the Dawan Kingdom came to pay homage to Qin Feng, crying out about the atrocities committed by the Huns and asking for the protection of the great Han.Moreover, it also brought a piece of military information that was very useful to Qin Feng.

This information is: Hun King Qiang Qu led his tribe into the land of the Kangju people, and competed with an unknown powerful army for control of "Zhizhi City" on the banks of the Taluosi River.

"Mysterious army?" Cao Yuanliu asked with question marks all over his head.

"Aren't you from Guishuang?" Qin Feng asked the envoy.

The messenger said: "It's not from Guishuang, it's rumored that it's an army coming from the other side of the sea."

Qin Feng understood that the sea mentioned by the messenger was the Caspian Sea.The troops coming from the west of the Caspian Sea gave Qin Feng a bad feeling.

However, no matter what lies ahead, Qin Feng will definitely continue to march.

This news also shows that Qiangqu, the king of the Xiongnu, has stopped. This is excellent news for Qin Feng, who has been chasing him for thousands of miles.So without stopping, he immediately crossed Dawan and entered the land of the Kangju people.

Kangju, like the Huns, is a nomadic people.Scope of influence: From the south of the Aral Sea to the present Afghanistan, and the east to Xinjiang, it is its main range of activities.It can also be said that Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Kazakhstan in later generations are all within the scope of its activities.

At the end of BC, the Kangju people rose up on the prairie in northern Central Asia, and in their prosperous period they wore more than 1 armored people.But in the [-]st century AD, Guishuang annexed the Da Yuezhi in the later Kyrgyz region and became an empire.Kangju began to weaken and surrendered to Guishuang, just like the Huns surrendered to the Han Dynasty.

Later, the Guishuang Empire followed the example of the Han Dynasty and set up the Duhufu in Dulaishui, which is the city of Zhizhi on the banks of the Taluosi River, in Kangju.Every autumn, the five little kings of Kangju would pay untold amounts of wealth to the Guishuang Empire.

Today's East and West are ruled by four powerful empires. From east to west, they are the Han Dynasty in East Asia, Kushan in Central Asia, Parthia in West Asia, and Rome in Europe.

Two years ago, the Parthia Empire to the west of the Guishuang Empire had conflicts with the ever-expanding Roman Empire over the ownership of the "Mesopotamia" plain.Thus, the First Mesopotamian War broke out between Parthia and Rome.

During the war, the rising Guishuang coveted the wealth of Rome. They crossed the "Caspian Sea" and launched a surprise attack on the Roman province of Armenia.

The Roman Senate was shocked and hurriedly signed an agreement with the Parthian Empire to divide Mesopotamia equally.He also ordered Severus, the elder of the Roman Senate, who later built the Roman Arc de Triomphe, to lead his Danube Legion to attack the invading Guishan people.

Severus deserves to be the triumphant emperor who later ended the civil war of the Roman Empire. He led his elite Danube Legion and quickly defeated the invading Guishan people.And sent his generals, the descendants of Roman glory, Cornelius Pompey, led a part of the Danube Legion with 5000 people, crossed the Caspian Sea, entered the Kangju territory of Guishuang, and occupied Guishuang In Kangju's Protectorate, that is, Zhizhi City on the banks of the Taluosi River.

Against such a background, Qiangqu, the king of the Huns, entered the territory of Kangju.The Huns quickly swept through the Kangju tribes who were already like frightened rabbits.

Qiang Qu, the king of the Huns, learned from the Kangju people that Zhizhi City on the banks of the Taluosi River stored countless tributes dedicated to the Guishuang Empire.

When the Hun King Qiangqu came to Zhizhi City, he pointed to Zhizhi City occupied by the Romans, and said to his people: "Zhizhi City is a royal city established by our ancestor Zhizhi Shanyu. Its The wealth within is the foundation of our rise. The land of the nomads and Kangju people is the place where we thrive."

The Huns who followed the Qiang Canal cheered. They vowed that they would seize the city built by their ancestors and develop it on this nomadic land.

It is worth mentioning that during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Huo Qubing chased and killed the Huns for thousands of miles, and all the Huns ran to Kangju.That was around 60 BC. At that time, the Kangju people had not yet developed.So, he lived peacefully with the coming Huns.And the leader of the Huns who came here, "Hutuwusi", established himself as Zhizhi Shanyu and established Zhizhi City.

Subsequently, Qiangqu, the king of the Huns, began to compete with the Romans for control of Zhizhi City.Qiang Qu is worthy of being one of the ancestors of Attila, the "Whip of God" in later generations.He used the Huns' riding and shooting to teach the Romans a heavy lesson.

The descendant of Glory blood, Cornelius Pompey had to retreat to Zhizhi City, and asked the empire for help.

In this context, Qin Feng led his [-] cavalry troops and approached Zhizhi City.

At this moment, it seems that only history will know that this will replace the Talas battle between the Great Tang and the Dashi later, and become the first direct collision between Eastern and Western origin civilizations in the history of the world.
