Eight hundred and sixtieth chapters Hexi two counties
"grown ups!"
The country of the Yueshi, the eternal city!
As the capital of the Yuezhi Kingdom, it is already trembling with fear!
Nearly three months ago, Zhou Qing personally led an army of 200,000 to the west. Along the way, he crossed plains and oases everywhere, spanning one or two thousand miles, and the front was extremely long.
Fortunately, there were no serious problems in fighting to support war.
Along the way, wherever you pass, anyone who resists will be killed. Those who surrender will be treated as slaves!
News from Bai Qianhong of the Wusun Kingdom continued for nearly three months. Now the entire Yuezhi Kingdom is no longer of great use. A large area in the north has been captured by the Xiongnu, and an area of more than a thousand miles to the east has been captured by the Qin State.
As for the more than 1,000-mile area on the west side, it was jointly occupied by the Wusun Kingdom and the small countries in the Western Regions. The three parties combined their forces and had more than 300,000 troops. Now the Yuezhi Kingdom has completely lost its resistance.
We can only gather the last strength, stay in the eternal capital, and wait for the last moment to come.
The Qin State's 200,000 troops were stationed here, arranged in formation. Inside the shogunate of the Chinese Army, Bai Qianhong, Yan Lingji and their entourage naturally gathered here. After more than a year of planning, the Yueshi Kingdom was about to cease to exist.
In terms of strength, the Yuezhi Kingdom is no less powerful than Han and Wei and other countries, and its territory far exceeds that of Han and Wei.
"Wusun does not have to satisfy all the benefits he wants. Most of the gains from this war will fall on the small countries in the Western Region. In this way, after we leave, they will start fighting each other."
"When all the Xia are unified, come back with heavy troops!"
Looking at the sand table in front of him, there were maps that were put together one after another. Most of it was desert, dotted with oases, mountains crisscrossed it, and rivers were hidden and emerging. After hearing what Qian Hong said before, Zhou Qing nodded.
Qian Hong should be able to think of this strategy.
"Now we have landed in the Eternal City!"
"For hundreds of years, the Wusun Kingdom has been competing with the Yueshi. The Yueshi have a good chance of winning, so they occupy a large amount of flat and fertile land. Wusun wants it very much, and is looking forward to the eternal city."
Wearing a light red dress, although it was autumn and winter at the moment, Bai Qianhong, who was half-stepping into the entrance realm, was already immune to the cold and heat. She waved her hand, and a bamboo pole on the side was in her hand, pointing to a corner of the sand table.
Her eyebrows are picturesque and delicate, and her red lips are lightly parted, reflecting on the final stalemate.
The Yueshi's defeat is a foregone conclusion!
Dividing the interests is the final thing.
"Wusun's appetite is quite big."
Looking at the Eternal City in front of the Qilian Mountains, looking at the Yanzhi Mountain on the west side of the Qilian Mountains on the sand table, and looking at the land of Lufu and Jiuquan further west, when the war started, Da Qin was naturally not afraid of Wusun at all.
with the Huns.
But... now that this place has been initially decided, the battle line is extremely long. If the troops and horses are left here, it will take a long time to rectify. With the current strength of the Wusun Kingdom, it is very likely that one or two of them will be attacked.
"What do you think?"
Zhou Qing withdrew his gaze from the sand table and landed on Zhang Han and Zhao Tuo not far away. They were marching all the way. The iron-blooded aura of the two men had not dissipated, and the bloody aura was entangled in their bodies.
Standing still, he has the spirit of a famous general.
"Wu Zhenhou."
"Zhang Han thought that after conquering the Yuezhi Kingdom, he should move south with heavy troops to intimidate the Wusun Kingdom, and then stay with more than 50,000 troops to stay here, and then move from the two counties of Longxi, Guanzhong, Weinan and other counties.
Immigration households will enrich this place."
"Ten years from now, this place will last forever!"
Since Wusun has this intention, it shows that Wusun still has other ambitions in the country. Of course, Wusun also has such power.
But now the Qin State's 200,000 troops have not left, and the Wusun Kingdom is nothing. Along the way, he deduced the eight formation diagrams with Zhao Tuo, and gained a lot. Even with only 100,000 troops, he dared to attack the Wusun Kingdom in one fell swoop.
.
It's just... there's no need for that now, otherwise, the entire land west of Hexi will be completely plunged into panic.
"Zhao Tuo agrees with General Zhang Han's strategy."
"In addition, we can also leave 50,000 troops and adopt the strategy of farming and border protection as mentioned by Marquis Wu Zhen in the past at the National Protectorate Academy. We can kill all the barbarian men in the area, leaving only the women of the right age, and then intermarry.
The descendants, after three generations, will dress and crown all the Xia!"
"The relocation of households from the counties in Longxi is also a smooth process."
It is more than a thousand miles west of the river, and there are very few people in the places it passes. If you want to establish a foothold here, you will definitely not be able to do it without a sufficient population. Therefore, you must have immigrants and guard the border.
Zhao Tuo took a step closer and responded to the words.
"Where are you, Qianhong?"
Zhou Qing nodded, and what Zhang Han and Zhao Tuo said was feasible.
"The words of the two generals are the best."
"However, in addition to this, there are also trade routes, and together with the network between Daqin and Wusun, just like what you said before, everything in Wusun is controlled by the merchants of Daqin, and Wusun can get it easily."
"The Tianshui Chamber of Commerce has set up ten branches in the country of Wusun. The same is true for Wushiluo. Ba Shiqing from Bajun is also coming. Next, we can also call other merchants from Qin to come."
"Businessmen attach great importance to profit. The things here are very different from those in Xia Dynasty. A large number of people come here."
Bai Qianhong is also a show leader. It is feasible to farm and guard the border, but these are just cultivating internal strength, without a trace of external strength. With merchants as the vanguard, they can also master the detailed information of Wusun Kingdom and the countries in the Western Regions earlier.
In the future, when all the Xia are unified and their forces are transferred, Wusun can be successfully destroyed.
“Both are good.”
"Next, the three of you will each submit a charter, and I will take a look at it."
Zhou Qing gave a word of appreciation.
The Xiongnu lost 100,000 soldiers in this battle. At least it was impossible to go south in a short time. They could only recuperate.
However, this time, the Xiongnu got a big advantage. They occupied the barren land north of Yuezhi. Although it was not suitable for farming, it was suitable for grazing. Sitting on a large number of cattle and sheep was not a gain.
"Report, Marquis Wu Zhen, a document has been sent from Xianyang."
As soon as everyone had finished discussing various matters, a loud voice came from outside the military tent.
"Call."
Zhou Qing turned his body slightly to the side, looked towards the entrance, and waved his hand.
"Wu Zhenhou!"
The young soldier wearing light black light armor quickly stepped inside, half-kneeled and saluted, and raised the foot-long bamboo tube in his hand.
"Well, let's go down."
With a wave of his hand, the yellow bamboo tube fell into his hand. With a flick of his finger, the seal disappeared. A paper document flew out from it. He whispered to the man and his eyes fell on the document in his hand.
"Hahaha."
"Yes, your Majesty is quite satisfied with this battle. In terms of documents, this time the Xiongnu Yuezhi coalition invaded the Qin Dynasty, and we worked together to destroy it, it really enhanced the military power of the Qin Dynasty."
"From the west of the river, two counties in Hexi are temporarily established, with Yanpai Mountain as the boundary, and the east is transferred to Wuwei County, including Guzang, Wuwei, Xiutu, Tuoci, Luanniao, Cangsong, Xuanwei and other places."
"To the west of Yonggu City, there is another county. Your Majesty saves effort and gives the name of this county to me!"
For hundreds of years, Qin's power has been east of the river. Now it has finally left the west of the river and expanded its territory for more than a thousand miles. According to the documents and maps he has passed to Xianyang many times, Brother Wang should know a lot about the situation here.
The temporary establishment of two counties in Hexi is in line with the practice of Da Qin.
The establishment of a Wuwei County is consistent with the name in the long history of time.
"If it's not Marquis Wuzhen, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to wait."
Zhang Han sighed lightly, if there were eight battle formations in front of Zhongwei City, Zhongwei City would be in danger, and naturally it would no longer be the grand scene of the two counties in Hexi today.
"Please give me a name from Marquis Wu Zhen!"
Zhao Tuo's face showed joy and he came forward and bowed.
"Hahaha, my previous plan was to use the two counties in Hexi as the basis to gradually penetrate the entire Western Region. Looking at the map, our journey along the way is quite like the arms of the Great Qin State spreading to the west."
"The arm of Zhang State has boosted the power of the country's army. I think its name can be Zhangye County! It leads to Zhide, Zhaowu, Xiedan, Dichi, Wulan, Rile, Liqian, Fanhe and Juyan."
, Xianmei and other counties”
Since the names of Wuwei County were consistent, Zhou Qing didn't think much and directly dropped the other name.
"In this way, there is still a thousand miles of land to the west of the Yuezhi Kingdom. If it is occupied, it can also establish two counties. Compared with Wuwei County and Zhangye County, although it is not as rich as here, it is also a place where people gather."
Bai Qianhong heard the sound, her beautiful eyes flashed with mysterious light, and landed on the sand table beside her. With a little finger, several void marks fell on the sand table, and the names of Wuwei County and Zhangye County appeared.
Each of his subordinates has fertile land. If it is developed, it can accommodate tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people. Compared with the countries in the Western Regions here, it is already a sufficient advantage.
"Today there are two counties in Hexi, and tomorrow there will be four counties in Hexi!"
"Now that the winter solstice is approaching, I want to completely capture Yonggu City and destroy the Yuezhi Kingdom before that day. As for the Wusun Kingdom, Qianhong, please go and spread the word. If you intervene, you should move your troops to attack it!
"
Here in Zhangye County, there is still one last piece left - Yonggu City.
If Wusun dares to interfere, his palm will be chopped off!
