Chapter six hundred and fourth surprise one
When Li Xun led 10,000 soldiers to march into Loulan, a war between Loulan and Houchi had just broken out.
Loulan was once a member of the Hu tribe. He lived in the Momeng Grassland for many years. When it was most glorious and powerful, Loulan also had a piece of land with the best environmental materials in the Momeng Grassland. However, it was later coerced by powerful tribes and failed in the war. It slowly began to decline, migrated to the marginal areas little by little, and finally entered the Western Regions and established a country here. After hundreds of years of development, it finally gained a foothold and gained a place in the entire Western Regions.
Houchi is not a single tribe, but an alliance of more than a dozen small tribes on the southwest border of Momeng. Before the Hu tribe was unified, their living space was sufficient and they could wander between the northern and southern Hu tribes. However, with the unification of the Hu tribes and the establishment of the Liao Dynasty, in the past two years, Huhe Bari sent troops to conquer the southwest area of Momeng several times, but because the environment here is desolate and the climate is harsh, they were not successful. However, the living space of the various tribes of Houchi has been quickly squeezed and reduced. Faced with the continuous attacks of the Liao Dynasty, it is only a matter of time to perish the demise of the various tribes of Houchi.
Therefore, the Houchi tribe alliance must find a way out. They chose the treasure land of the Western Regions, but if they want to enter the Western Regions, the first thing they are to be hit is Loulan. Without pulling out this obstacle, Houchi can only be trapped in Momeng and cannot go anywhere.
The conflict between the two sides is irreconcilable. Either you die or I die. There is no second way to choose.
I have to say that the customs of Loulan Kingdom are indeed strong and upright. You said that you are fighting with others now and have no extra power. You should not offend others. However, Li Xun led the army and waited for something that was not a negotiator. The three thousand Loulan soldiers stationed in the border area launched an attack directly when they saw the arrival of Li Xun's army.
Li Xun was prepared for a long time, and he used quiet control and ambushed left and right. He defeated three thousand soldiers attacking Loulan in one fell swoop, killed three or four hundred people, and all the rest became prisoners.
"Dog thief, I have the will to let go of me, I want to kill you alone."
Killing alone means fighting alone. The Loulan leader of this group of three thousand soldiers was taken to Li Xun. This man was very young and strong, yelling and struggling hard.
Li Xun said in a low voice: "What's your name?"
The young general cursed.
Li Xun said coldly: "I, Li Xun, don't kill Wuming, you don't even dare to say your name. Obviously, I am an unknown boy. If you catch you, it will be of little use."
Hearing this, the young general was furious and glared at Li Xun and shouted: "I am Xun Bokeh, the son of General Xun, the Great General of Loulan. If you have the guts, kill me. The uncle will never frown."
A big hit in the sky?
Li Xun looked at Chen De on the side. Chen De lived in the Western Regions for many years and had some understanding of important figures in the Western Regions.
"Master General, Xun Dazhong is the largest general of Loulan Kingdom. He has repeatedly led his army to defeat the Chihu tribe of Momeng Hou. This person is very famous in the Western Regions. His sons are also good at fighting. I have heard of this Xun Bokeh. He is one of the few powerful generals in Loulan Kingdom."
After Chen De finished speaking, Jiang Daxiong, who was beside him, said loudly: "Boss, this person has great martial arts skills. I have been useless for a long time to take him down."
Xun Bokeh Jing was not convinced by Li Xun, but she was quite impressed by Jiang Daxiong and said loudly to him: "You are very powerful. I admire you. Can you tell Daming?"
Jiang Daxiong grinned and said, "My name is Jiang Daxiong. You are also very powerful. The punch you punched on my back still hurts a lot now."
Xun Bokeh laughed twice, then looked at Li Xun coldly, then closed his eyes and said nothing, killing or cutting.
Li Xun smiled softly, disregarded her concern, and waved her hand: "Prepare, don't abuse it."
Back at the commander's account, Sima Tu was dealing with the matter. He was Sima with the army. Although this was not a formal position, it was just a temporary appointment by Li Xun, everyone knows that Sima Tu is Li Xun's absolute confidant and has many strategies, so no one in the entire army dares to be careless.
"Are all the counts counted?"
Li Xun found a place to sit down and asked out loud.
"It has been counted, and the Grandmaster will know at a glance."
Sima Tu walked to Li Xun and handed him the paper with the data written on it.
Li Xun took it and looked at it. More than 100 people died and wiped out 3,000 people from the Xun Bokeh Division. The damage ratio was very good.
The main forces of Loulan Kingdom have gathered on the northern border to fight the Houchi tribe alliance. Most of the three thousand soldiers in Xun Zhengjing's hands are old, weak, sick and disabled, and have low combat power. Otherwise, Li Xun would never have won so easily.
"Master, judging from Xun Bokeh's attitude of taking the initiative to attack, the Loulan people are tough and not easy to bow. If we want long-term stability, simple killing may not solve the problem."
Sima Tu whispered softly, he was afraid that Li Xun would become hot and led his army to attack the capital of Loulan Kingdom. In that case, the main army of Loulan Kingdom, which was fighting against the Houchi tribe, would inevitably have a turbulent army and would be defeated quickly. Once the Loulan Kingdom was defeated, the Houchi tribe army would definitely continue to march and enter the Western Regions. By that time, Li Xun would probably find it difficult to compete with the more than 10,000 troops in his hands.
Li Xun smiled and said, "Why do you say this? I'm not an idiot. Destroying Loulan Kingdom will only make the Houchi Hu tribe in vain. I'm not that stupid."
Sima Tu said softly: "The lord may wish to treat it with a gentle approach. Although the Loulan country's customs are strong, such people are often upright and value love and righteousness. If they can completely conquer Loulan, it will also be a great help to the lord."
Li Xun nodded. Needless to say, Sima Tu, he knew that tens of thousands of elite cavalry were a huge war wealth. If he could conquer Loulan Kingdom, his strength would be greatly improved, and it would be a top priority for the stability of the entire Western Regions situation.
Li Xun pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "If Loulan Kingdom resists stubbornly, what should we do?"
Sima Tu smiled and said, "From the information sent back by Liu Xie, it is actually only the military faction headed by Xun Dazhong, and the civil servant faction headed by the Prince of Loulan. They are not so hostile to us."
Prince of Loulan?
Li Xun narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
Prince Dalin Taige of Loulan was walking around the room with a worried look on his face. Xun Bokeh was captured, and the three thousand border guards were destroyed. The chief general of the Jin army, Li Xun, personally led 10,000 soldiers to march into Sicheng. The defenders of Sicheng surrendered without fighting. The Jin army is currently stationed in Sicheng, and the movements are unknown.
