Chapter 455 Rebellion
Chapter 461 Revolt

Woo!
Outside the hall, the loud and desolate sound of the bugle echoed in the ears of the Hu kings of the Western Regions for a long time, and the faces of all the people turned pale in an instant.

There are 5000 sturdy imperial guards in the city, and 5 main forces of the Shence Army stationed outside the city. In Shule, which is only a few hundred miles away from Kucha, there are hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops watching.

If we compare the Western Regions to a fertile pasture, the Emperor of China and his army are like a ferocious lion, bloodthirsty and ruthless, and the barbarians of the Western Regions are nothing more than a group of rabbits or goats who have no power to fight back.

More importantly, Tuqishi and Ge Luolu in the north, and Tubo in the south, were all wiped out by the Chinese emperor. This is equivalent to tightening a pocket, and the Western Regions can't escape if they want to.The big cannibals can't be counted on, what can they use to resist the force of the Chinese dynasty?

Surrender, the country will be destroyed; resistance, the country will be destroyed and the family will be destroyed.

Whether it is left or right, it makes people's choices extremely difficult.

He Lu's face became more and more ugly, and his shoulders were trembling slightly.

Because he has realized that the Chinese emperor's spearhead is aimed at him first.As the country where the Anxi Protectorate is resident, the army is overwhelming. If he doesn't take the lead in expressing his surrender, the destruction of the Kucha Kingdom is nothing more than Zhang Xuan's effort.And once he broke his face with the emperor, he, the king of Kucha and his hundreds of royal families, would die without a place to bury him.

Feng Chang stared at He Lu quietly, although he was speechless, it brought He Lu great pressure.

A layer of fine beads of sweat oozed from He Lu's forehead, and his breathing became very heavy.

Zhang Xuan sat there leisurely, raised the wine cup, and poured himself a drink.

a long time.There was a sudden sound of thud in the deadly hall, and everyone was excited. They looked up suddenly and saw He Lu blushing, sweating profusely, kneeling in front of the emperor's case, and said in a trembling voice, "I would like to go , submit to the imperial court, long live my emperor!"

After saying these words, He Lu was relieved, but he also collapsed on the ground powerlessly, unable to get up again.

Feng Changqing also heaved a long sigh of relief.Although it is destined to use force and coercion, if no king of a small country in the Western Regions is willing to stand up and surrender voluntarily, and implement a one-sided massacre policy, it will be detrimental to the reputation of the emperor and the Chinese court.

Feng Changqing believes that people have a herd mentality. Under the high-voltage line, under the threat of life and death, as long as someone takes the lead, a group of people will follow suit.

Zhang Xuan smiled slightly, put down the wine cup in his hand, got up and walked over, and personally helped He Lu up.

Facing the crowd, Zhang Xuan smiled calmly and said, "Decree, canonize He Lu as the King of Shuntian County, retain the ownership of the Qiuci Palace, and grant a hundred hectares of land and pastures in Qinghai and Bohai, and give a county palace in Zhongjing, so you can live in Zhongjing." , You can also live in Qinghai or Bohai. The title of king of Shuntian County is hereditary, and I will be given a gold medal to avoid death once."

Zhang Xuan's reward is still very generous.In addition to depriving He Lu of the right to rule the country of Kucha, he actually gave more wealth.We must know that the land of Kucha is vast and sparsely populated, with a population of less than 20. Even the king does not have much "oil and water".As the county king of the Chinese dynasty, he was given a lot of land and pastures by the emperor, and the title was hereditary, so he could be a happy king who enjoyed wealth and honor.

Of course, you have to leave Kucha and move to Fandi or Dijing.Otherwise, if King Kucha remains in Kucha, there will be too many variables and hidden dangers.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your great kindness!" He Lu bowed down trembling.

From this obeisance, he is no longer the king of Qiuci, the lord of a country, but the idle county king conferred by the Chinese dynasty.

"Okay, very good. Announcement, from now on, Qiuci will go to the country and be changed to Anxi Road, Anxi Prefecture, and Shuntian County Government. Feng Changqing, the matter of setting up the state office and county government is up to you. There can be no mistakes. Your tens of thousands of Anxi troops, I will not move a single soldier, and leave them all to you." Zhang Xuan laughed loudly and said loudly.

Feng Changqing bowed down, "I obey the order."

After He Lu took the initiative, many kings of small countries expressed their surrender one after another.

Not long after, Kucha, Yanqi, Khotan, Ruoqiang, Qiemo, Ronglu, Yumi, Qule, Pishan, Xiye, Puli, Yinai, Shule and other countries all declared their allegiance to their subjects successively, and were accepted by the emperor. One by one book rewards.In the end, there were only Wusun and Gumo masters.

Today's Wusun is no longer as strong as it was in the Han Dynasty. The population of the country is only one-tenth of that of that year, and it only occupies one city with a population of tens of thousands.And Gumo is a subsidiary country of Kucha, a city with a population of tens of thousands.Among the 36 countries in the Western Regions, these two small countries were also low in strength and ranked at the bottom, but these two pocket-sized small countries refused to surrender, and the two kings even put on a posture that they would rather die than submit, which made people feel weird.

At least Feng Changqing didn't expect it.

Zhang Xuan looked at Wusun Wang Moxie and Gumo Wang Bijie quietly, and a strong smile slowly appeared on his face.

He waved his hands and said, "Okay, the time has come, come here, and then have a banquet, I will not return tonight with the kings until I get drunk! As for King Wusun and King Gumo, you can leave on your own after the banquet. Stop it, never miss a word. However, I still say that, as long as you leave this city, you will be my enemy country, and I will raise my troops to destroy it!"

He Lu and other kings bowed down, while Mo Xie and Pi Jie gritted their teeth and hung their heads in silence.

The reason why the two did not surrender was because they had long sensed that the Chinese dynasty intended to annex the countries of the Western Regions, and they had made various preparations in advance for the entire country to move into the Great Food Kingdom.Before they came to the King City of Qiuci, they bribed the important officials under Ge Luoluye's tent with a lot of money, planning to use Ge Luolu to flee the whole country and go to Dashi.

Therefore, the two did not surrender.

The feast is over, at least on the surface.Mo Xie and Bi Jie were in a state of anxiety in the center of the banquet. They finally waited until the banquet was over before they hurriedly led people away from the King City of Kucha - the current Shuntian County, Anxi Province, Anxi Road, and returned home.

They didn't realize that the two generals beside Zhang Xuan, Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun, had already disappeared at the banquet.By the time they escaped from the city, the two had each led [-] troops to attack Wusun and Gumo cities separately.

Zhang Xuan knew very well that this kind of recovery and naturalization could not be done without cold-blooded means, and that these small countries in the Western Regions could accept their fate only by killing them as an example.Since the necessary deterrence is inevitable, Zhang Xuan will not be merciful.

Zhang Xuan's order to Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun was to take down Wusun City and Gumo City, behead all the royal families of the two countries, and wipe out all their armed forces. If there is any resistance from the ethnic groups, they will be killed without mercy.

After serving the emperor in fear and fear, He Lu gave up the palace to the emperor, while he moved to another mansion in the city with a group of royal family members.

……

……

He Lu's son, He Na, the eldest prince of Kucha, also stood in the hall with a few brothers with a gloomy face, and asked angrily, "Father, my Kucha kingdom has been established for hundreds of years, so it will be gone if I say so? There are 20 tribes in Kucha, and [-] soldiers and horses can gather, how can they be slaughtered like this!"

"No, we won't accept it!"

"Father, let's fight back, let's go out of the city, the big deal, go to the big cannibal!"

He Lu was furious, and reprimanded, "Bastards, you know nothing! I have a population of hundreds of thousands in Kucha, but how many of them are Han Chinese? Compared with the hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops, do you want to hit a stone with an egg? ? This king surrenders, at least it can save the glory, wealth and lives of hundreds of members of my Kucha royal family!"

"If you resist, you will definitely die! You bastards, if you continue to speak rudely and offend His Majesty the Emperor of China, I will not be able to save you!"

"Mo Xie and Bijie dare to resist, and I, Kucha, are the head of the 36 countries in the Western Regions. Do I have to give up the land and family business passed down from my ancestors?"

He Na also stomped his feet angrily.

"Mo Xie and Pijie? They dare to resist? Hmph, they just want to move the whole country into Dashi. Now, to go to Dashi, you have to go through Ge Luolu. It's hard to say whether Ge Luolu will let them go."

"Besides, the emperor has already dispatched troops. I'm afraid Wusun City and Gumo City will be occupied by the emperor's army before Mo Xie and Pi Jie returned to the country... Mo Xie and Pi Jie are sure to die!" He Lu lowered his voice. He hurriedly said, "If you bastards don't want to die, you should stay in the mansion honestly. In a few days, you will move to Qinghai with the king. The emperor rewarded a hundred hectares of land and pastures in Qinghai and Bohai. The royal family can enjoy wealth and honor in peace."

"Whoever dares to make trouble, this king will be the first to tie him up and hand him over to the emperor!"

He Lu spoke viciously, and left in a huff.

He Naye and the other princes stood there with flushed faces, the corners of their mouths trembling with anger.

In their hearts, their father was too cowardly and incompetent. The Chinese emperor gave up their ancestral foundation and became a slave for others after a fright.Is the prince of the county hereditary?Prosperity and wealth?When you really become meat on the chopping board, people can deal with it as they want.

He Na also exchanged glances with his two brothers, and quietly went to He Na Ye's room.

They are unwilling to lose the glory and power that belong to them. Although the Kucha Kingdom is small, no matter how small it is, it is a country of its own, and every plant and tree has the final say.If they lose their country titles and are deprived of their royal status, they will be reduced to nobles like you, and they are still in danger.

They are not reconciled!
In the shadows around the corner, He Lu stared in the direction of He Naye's room, his face getting more and more gloomy.He knew the son of He Na too well. This son had a strong personality and ambition, and he might cause trouble behind his back.

But in He Lu's view, no matter what they do and make trouble, they will end up dead.In the face of absolute strength and hundreds of thousands of troops, any resistance seems pale and powerless.

He Lu took a step forward, but suddenly retreated slowly.

After hesitating again and again, he decided to pretend to be confused.Let He Na and a few people make a fuss, to test the emperor's movements.The worst result is nothing more than giving up He Naye's son. Anyway, he has many sons, and he can produce many more at any time.
