The Han army pursued them to the gates of Yancheng and stopped killing people. Zhang Yue knew that these Qiuci cavalry were useless and they were completely frightened by the Han army.

It is more beneficial for the Han army to have them alive, because with them alive, the next time the Han army fights the Kucha people, this group of frightened soldiers can help the Han army lower the morale of the Kucha people.

After Zhang Yue arrived at Yancheng City, he happened to see a man wearing a crown at the top of the city, looking at him in horror.

He took out his bow and arrow, shot an arrow, and hit the man's crown.

King Qiuci was so frightened by the arrow that he collapsed to the ground, and his crotch was already wet.

Fear has taken over his whole body, and there is no anger or revenge. He only has deep fear of the Han army in his heart.

The only thing he prayed for at this moment was to let these devils leave quickly.

Zhang Yue shouted callously: "A certain person from Kucha is Luntai Zhang Yue, please remember... Anyone who dares to offend our great Han Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away he is!"

Zhang Yue's words caused the Han army to surge with adrenaline.

All the Han soldiers followed Zhang Yue and shouted: "Anyone who offends our great Han Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away he is..."

The shouts of the Han army were heard all over the place. The Qiuci people at the head of the city couldn't help but retreated several steps. Everyone felt a heartfelt tremor rising from their souls.

The terrifying fighting power of the Han army not only shocked the people of Qiuci, but also frightened the people from the Western Regions who were watching the battle.

They secretly calculated that the Kucha people used three times the cavalry to engage the Han army in a head-on battle. The Han army's casualties would never exceed 30, while the Kucha people's casualties were at least 500.

They imagined what would happen if their own army encountered this Han army, but the result made them even more desperate. Their army would probably suffer even greater casualties after encountering the Han army.

The representatives of various countries who watched this battle warned themselves in their hearts that they would never engage in a decisive battle with the Han army unless they had more than 10 times the strength of the Han army.

"One Han is against the Wuhu... One Han is against the Wuhu... This is actually true!"

On a hilltop outside Yancheng, a man in rich clothes looked at the Han army in the distance and muttered to himself.

This person is Liju, one of the three great princes of Qiuci Kingdom.

After Zhang Yue shot the arrow, he led his soldiers back to the starting point, but he did not retreat. Instead, he set up camp on a hill with a water source five miles away from Yancheng.

In Yancheng, King Moro of Kucha, who was so frightened by Zhang Yue's arrow that he wet his pants, finally returned to his palace under the protection of his guards.

After calming down for a while, he was about to summon the nobles to discuss the Han army. Unexpectedly, the nobles were more anxious than him and had already arrived at the palace meeting hall.

As soon as Moro changed his clothes and walked into the meeting hall, an old nobleman threw himself at his feet and shouted: "Your Majesty, negotiate peace with the Han army quickly. I'm afraid it will be too late when the Han army's infantry arrives!"

"You weakling, the Han army only has a few hundred men and yet you are so scared. I still have 4,000 soldiers in Yancheng..." a young nobleman yelled.

"Your Majesty, please give me two thousand soldiers, and I, Luo Duo, will definitely get the heads of Han people for you!" the young nobleman named Luo Duo shouted.

"Luo Duo, don't play around with your little tricks here. You just want to cheat some military power. How dare you fight the Han army?" A disdainful voice sounded.

"Kun Luo, don't think everyone is a coward like you. Give me your soldiers. I will leave the city now..." The young nobleman named Luo Duo's neck turned red.

"Are you worthy of handing over my soldiers to you?" Kunluo looked down upon Luo Duo completely.

The surrounding nobles did not expect that Kun Luo and Luo Duo would start to quarrel before the official meeting began.

Luo Duo's face turned red and he knelt down in front of Moro.

"Your Majesty, please give me a legion. I, Luo Duo, will definitely defeat the Han army!"

Moro couldn't help but shudder when he thought about the way the Han army brutally killed his own cavalry just now.

"Luo Duo, it's not that I don't believe you. You saw what happened at noon today. Even our most elite army couldn't withstand a single blow from the Han army."

"Even if I give you an army, how can you be a match for the Han army with these soldiers?"

"Although we still have four thousand people, we are all infantry. Even if we leave the city, we can't catch up with the Han army!"

Moro was obviously unwilling to send his soldiers to Luo Duo. In his mind, if he sent troops again at this time, he would simply be seeking death.

"Your Majesty..." Luo Duo wanted to say something else, but unfortunately the door in the hall opened at this time, and a Modo attendant ran in in a panic, attracting everyone's attention at once.

"Your Majesty, the Han army has sent an envoy!" the attendant reported.

"Invite the envoy quickly!" Moro ordered.

"The messengers have left, but they left a letter asking us to reply within three days."

The waiter gingerly took out a letter.

"Bang"

Moro angrily slapped the letter on the seat.

"Your Majesty, what did the Han army say in the letter?" the nobles asked one after another.

"These damn Han people, these greedy Han people, how dare they make such conditions!" Moro shouted.

"The Han army requires us to compensate 6,000 dan of grain, 500 slaves, 2,000 dan of gold, and cede the Kuqa area to the Han army... If we don't agree, the Han army will attack the city in three days!"

Moro angrily shouted out the Han army's conditions, and his incomparable anger suppressed the fear in his heart for a moment.

"Your Majesty, this condition is too harsh and we cannot agree to it."

The nobles were also angered by the conditions of the Han army.

"Although the Han army is powerful, we still have 4,000 troops in Yancheng. The Han army is simply unable to attack Yancheng. This is blackmail and we must not agree!"

"Yes, we must not agree!"

"We still have more than 10,000 troops in the surrounding areas. Even if we are exhausted, we can kill the Han army!"

The nobles expressed their opposition one after another.

In the eyes of the Kucha people, it was completely crazy for the Han army to do this.

Not only the people of Qiuci think so, but even Zhang Yue himself thought so half a day ago.

But now he thinks that what he did is reasonable.

Because just an hour ago, Luntai City sent a message, and it was this news that allowed him to propose this extremely harsh condition to the Kucha people.

It turned out that after Zhang Yue reported the results of this year's Luntai farming to Li Guangli, Li Guangli saw the good prospects of Luntai farming.

So Li Guangli sent a whole army of garrison soldiers to Zhang Yue. In addition, in order to ensure the safety of Luntai, he also sent 100 cavalry reinforcements to Luntai.

Along with the reinforcements, there was also the authorization to allow Zhang Yue to act expediently.

"Hahaha……"

"God is really helping me!"
