Chapter 195 First time(1/2)
After defeating the Dayuan cavalry outside Guishan City, Liu Chan placed the Daying Anzha outside Guishan City. Although he did not immediately launch an attack on Guishan City, nearly 50,000 Han cavalry were stationed outside the city, which itself was a very strong deterrent to the Dayuan Kingdom.
Guishan Royal Palace.
After learning about the defeat, Dayuan Wang Lanyao was immediately feeling in silence.
I originally wanted to take advantage of the Han army's efforts to fight the expedition and wait for the effort to defeat the Han cavalry in one fell swoop.
But who would have thought that Dayuan suffered such a crushing defeat as soon as the two armies fought.
"Master!"
The strong man who had led his troops to fight against the Han army said in a deep voice: "Although our army cannot defeat the Han army head-on, it is not so easy for the Han army to break through our Guishan City."
"What are the plans for the general?" asked Dayuan Wang Lanyao.
Although Lan Yao was the king of Dayuan, he actually had no idea when facing the Han cavalry, so he wanted to hear the opinions of General Wu Zhe.
Wu Zhe was forty-seven years old at the time and was a great general in Dayuan.
"Close the city and hold on," said Wu Zhe: "Send people to Kushan to ask for help."
But as soon as Wu Zhe finished speaking, the princess Feng Yan shook her head and said, "Father, although you can keep the city, you can ask for help from Kushan..." She paused and said, "Farther water cannot quench the near thirst."
Before the war began, as the princess of Dayuan, Feng Yan really believed in the general's leisure and waiting for his work, which was a very good idea.
But now, she discovered.
Don’t mislead the country.
As a general of Dayuan, Wu Zhe knew nothing about the Han Dynasty, so she mistakenly caused Dayuan to suffer a crushing defeat. Therefore, when Wu Zhe now asked for help from Kushan, she was very dissatisfied.
"I guess the general doesn't know it yet." Feng Yan continued: "Just a month ago, the Sassanid Dynasty had defeated the Northern Kushan Legion."
As soon as Feng Yan finished speaking, the entire hall suddenly fell into silence.
Decades ago, there was turmoil in the Han Dynasty. Dayuan, which was located in the border areas of the Western Regions, was no longer under the control of the Han Dynasty. At this time, Dayuan was dependent on the Kushan Empire.
Perhaps when the Han Dynasty was not in turmoil, Kushan was not the opponent of the Han Dynasty, but the turbulent Han Dynasty naturally had no intention of inquiring about all matters in the Western Regions.
But just a few years ago, a new empire emerged in the West - this is the Sassanid Dynasty that replaced the Sakura Dynasty.
It was just because the news was blocked, but the ministers of Dayuan did not know that the emerging Sassanid dynasty had quite ambitions and had launched a war against the Kushan several months ago.
"The princess is serious?" Wu Zhe asked.
Wu Zhe was a general in Dayuan, holding the main cavalry of Dayuan. He has been committed to relying on Kushan over the years because he felt that the Han Dynasty had lived up to its former courage, not to mention that Dayuan is far away from the Han Dynasty, and there are many countries in the Western Regions, and relying on a great country is the way out for Dayuan.
But--
Of course he knew about the establishment of the Sassanid Dynasty, but he really didn't know about it.
Feng Yan smiled and said, "Before the Han army attacked, one of my caravans returned westward. They told me that the Sassanid dynasty had captured a large area of northern Kushan."
this--
Upon hearing this, he had to believe that this was true, because Princess Fengyan herself was responsible for Dayuan's foreign trade, and many Western affairs were obtained through her caravan.
"What should I do?" Lan Yao sighed and said, "The Sassanid Dynasty is here, and there are now the Great Han cavalry in the east. Is it because my Dayuan wants to destroy the country?"
Dayuan destroyed the country——
This is really not impossible. After all, because Dayuan relied on Kushan, he refused to recruit the Han Dynasty and robbed and killed the Han Dynasty's caravan last year, which led to the Han Dynasty's cavalry coming.
Compared to the worries in the palace of Guishan City, the Han army outside Guishan City were very excited at this moment because they defeated the Dayuan cavalry and had a great victory.
"His Majesty!"
Guo Huai bowed and said, "Dayuan has been defeated at this time, and our army can take the opportunity to attack Guishan City. If Guishan City is broken, Dayuan will be destroyed."
"Yes!" Guan Suo also said: "It just happened to destroy Dayuan in one fell swoop."
During this expedition, Liu Chan said at the oath-taking meeting that the purpose of this expedition was very simple, which was to destroy Dayuan.
Now the army is approaching the city of Guishan, and today it defeated the cavalry in Dayuan.
Destroy Dayuan.
But Liu Chan shook his head and said, "It is easy to destroy Dayuan, but it is not that easy to completely control Dayuan."
This was what Zhuge Liang told him five years ago when he discussed with the Prime Minister to open up the Western Regions in Lantian Camp.
At that time, he also thought that the Western Regions countries were too troublesome, so it would be better to destroy them all, and then establish several prefectures and counties in the Western Regions, and send some governors to govern them. Over time, the Western Regions channel will be stable.
But Zhuge Liang didn't think so. He felt that although the countries in the Western Regions could not compete with the Central Plains dynasty in terms of strength, it would not be so easy to manage them if they wanted to conquer them directly.
"Wait and see!" Liu Chan smiled and said, "I believe that after this defeat in Dayuan, I have no ability to dare to compete with my great Han cavalry head-on."
Three days later—
A Dayuan envoy walked into the Han army camp.
"Foreign ministers pay homage to Your Majesty!"
The messenger respectfully bowed to Liu Chan.
Liu Chan was naturally happy to see this envoy, as if the progress was as he expected. After the defeat in Dayuan three days ago, they no longer had the ability to fight against the Han Dynasty.
"Tell me!" Liu Chan said in a deep voice: "When will your Dayuan King come to surrender!"
Liu Chan didn't want to talk nonsense to him. Do the winners and the strong need to be polite to him in front of the weak?
Of course not needed-
The envoy was shocked when he heard this, thinking that this Han emperor was too direct.
"His Majesty!"
As the envoy was about to speak, Liu Chan said again: "If you want to say anything else, don't say it. Tell me directly when the Dayuan Kingdom will surrender to me!"
"Three days!" Liu Chan stretched out three fingers and continued, "I will give Dayuan King three more days. If Dayuan does not surrender within three days, I will flatten Guishan City!"
Under Liu Chan's aggressive Wia, the envoy of Dayuan was originally thinking whether he could win some power when Dayuan surrendered.
But now it seems that the Emperor of Han does not intend to give him a chance to speak.
He was helpless. He was ordered to come to the Han camp today to surrender to the Han Dynasty. He just hoped that the two countries could restore their relationship to decades ago, and that Dayuan became a vassal state of the Han Dynasty.
"Your Majesty!" The envoy said helplessly: "Dayuan is willing to surrender!"
Hum--
Seeing the Dayuan envoy looking down and out, Liu Chan was naturally in a good mood. The Han generals in the entire tent were also very happy at this moment.
The surrender of Dayuan means that the war has ended.
The next morning.
Liu Chan and a group of generals came to the city of Guishan. At this time, the gate of Guishan was opened, but Liu Chan did not plan to enter the city. He and the generals stood a hundred steps away from the city gate.
A few days-
Dozens of people walked out of Guishan City, all of them walking out, their faces were gloomy.
The leader is Dayuan Wang Lanyao.
Lan Yao has been the king of Dayuan for more than ten years, but he never thought that one day he would experience such a dilemma today.
Looking at the monarch and ministers of Dayuan, Liu Chan was in a good mood.
Because this was his first time conquering a country. Although it was just a smaller Dayuan Kingdom, this feeling was still very wonderful.
"Lan Yao pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Han!"
Lan Yao led all the civil and military officials of Dayuan to a place more than ten steps away from Liu Chan. Everyone knelt on one knee, including Lan Yao himself.
Lan Yao held an exquisite scimitar in his hand and said, "My minister Lan Yao, he brought all the officials of Dayuan to surrender to the great man."
The scimitar in Lan Yao's hand also symbolizes the royal power of Dayuan.
He handed over the royal power and expressed his willingness to surrender to the Han Dynasty.
After Lan Yao finished speaking, a junior school student stepped forward to take away the scimitar from Lan Yao's hand, then returned to Liu Chan's war horse, and handed the scimitar to Liu Chan with both hands.
Sigh-
Liu Chan pulled out the scimitar, made a crisp friction sound, and then pushed the scimitar back to the scabbard. Then Liu Chan said loudly: "Subscription!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"A thousand years of great man!"
"A thousand years of great man!"
In an instant, tens of thousands of great knights shouted loudly in unison for thousands of years, and the momentum was shocking.
After the surrender ceremony, King Lan Yao of Dayuan led Liu Chan's war horse and slowly entered Guishan City step by step. The people on both sides supported their chests with one hand, indicating that they were willing to surrender to the feet of the Han emperor.
I originally thought that Guishan City, as the capital of Dayuan, would not be too small, but after entering the city, Liu Chan realized that he was thinking too much.
In addition to houses and buildings, it is very different from the Central Plains. The buildings here are relatively Westernized, but the scale is not large. Strictly speaking, they are not as large as the capital of Chengdu City of the Han Dynasty.
The royal palace of Dayuan is located in the center of Guishan City.
When he entered the palace hall, Liu Chan sat on the throne that originally belonged to Lan Yao without thinking.
