Ke Bi Neng sighed. "How can I not know the emperor's intention? It's just that our army has been defeated and suffered heavy losses. Now we are unable to move westward, so we can only rest nearby. When the vitality recovers, we will charge for the emperor."
Jiang Gan laughed.
Kebi could look at him quietly, his eyes were complicated.
"Master, you seem to have forgotten something." Jiang Gan put away his laughter and still looked at Ke Bineng with a smile.
"Please give me advice."
"You are not just the Xianbei general, but also the general under my command of the Emperor. Behind you, the Emperor, stand the entire Han Dynasty. As long as you follow the Emperor's edict and adopt the advice of Chief Xun, how can you defeat me?"
Ke Bi Neng's face was red and his ears were red. He wanted to speak but stopped several times.
Jiang Gan took a sip of wine and continued, "Although he has suffered some setbacks now, there is no need to be discouraged. The reinforcements from the Western Regions Protectorate's Office are already on the road, and the emperor has pacified Jizhou. It will not take long to advance westward. At that time, the elite troops will be
There are countless good generals who win, and their weapons and armor are used inexhaustible. The general can move forward bravely without any worries."
Ke Bineng's expression was slightly relaxed. "The emperor has pacified Jizhou?"
"Yes, you won without fighting." Jiang Ganyun said lightly: "In this way, the generals of Jizhou are following the Youyan guardian Xun Gongda to conquer Liaodong. This winter and next spring, good news will come."
Hearing the four words "Youyan Dugu", Ke Bineng's cheeks twitched involuntarily.
The Xianbei generals sitting next to Xun Yun also changed their faces. One of them couldn't hold the meat-cutting knife in his hand, and the plates containing the meat were clattered.
Ke Bi Neng took a breath and smiled and said, "Since the emperor is coming, we should take down Kushan as the emperor's palace."
"The Grand Marshal's idea is very good." Jiang Gan nodded with satisfaction. "But there is no need."
"Why?"
"Can the Grand Marshal know that the so-called Kushan was originally the Great Yuezhi?"
"I heard from the Chief Secretary."
"Are you under the sky? Are you the king's land? Are you the king's ministers? This Dayuezhi was originally one of the countries in the Western Regions. Even if they were west of the Pamir Mountains, they were still one of the vassal states of our great Han Dynasty. The emperor arrived, and they
How can we not accept the commander? If there is a disobedient, there is no need to be distracted by the commander. The Western Regions Protectorate will take action to quell the rebellion. Besides, there are many elite soldiers around the emperor, so it is also good to use Kushan to move his hands and feet."
The smile on Ke Bineng's face was a little stiff and his mood was a little complicated.
From Jiang Gan's seemingly relaxed words, he heard the ambitions and strong self-confidence of the Han people.
What Kushan is just an appetizer, what the Han emperor wants is the whole world.
The others will surrender to the Han Dynasty and the Han emperor, otherwise the Han cavalry will be waiting for them.
Fortunately, I have already surrendered.
"The messenger just mentioned the weapon and armor stomach. I wonder when it will arrive?"
"Please give me accurate data, and I will report it to the court immediately and ask the emperor to allocate as usual." Jiang Gan paused and said, "I just took a rough look. Those barbarians had very few armor and weapons.
It is very crude and far inferior to the Grand Marshal. The Grand Marshal seems to be more likely to adjust his ideas and tactics, rather than pinning his hopes on weapons and armor. If a person is not good, no matter how good the weapons are, the Grand Marshal will only rely on the enemy.
Do you agree?"
Ke Bi Neng was embarrassed and nodded repeatedly to say yes.
Xun Yun's face was calm and he suddenly had no idea.
Several Xianbei generals curled their lips at the same time, shook their heads and sighed.
After the banquet, Ke Bi Neng invited Jiang Gan to drink tea.
Taking this opportunity, Jiang Gan reiterated the emperor's edict to Ke Bi Neng again.
The emperor asked him to continue moving westward until he was the Black Sea of Hospitality by Hu Shang.
After collecting information from Tongwenguan from multiple sources, it can be confirmed that there is a large plain north of the Black Sea, which can be cultivated and shepherded. Kebien can settle there and guard the border for the Han Dynasty.
The weather is getting colder and the distant north is getting colder, and barbarians will move south to an inevitable trend. Instead of letting them go south and entering a warmer hinterland, it is better to block them north of the Black Sea.
If Kebi Neng defends north of the Black Sea, the Emperor of Han could concentrate his troops to determine the countries, and then use the properties of these places to support Kebi Neng's battle.
"At that time, you will be like the Youyan guardian who guards the Central Plains, and you are the border guards of the Han Dynasty." Jiang Gan said confidently: "The Han Dynasty will not forget you, and the Emperor will not forget you. When you release your armor and return to the field,
You will definitely receive the honor and wealth you deserve. Just like Jin Il-jen, a famous minister of the Xiaowu Dynasty, you will become an important minister of the court, descendants, and wealth and honor in Weiyang."
Kebi Neng's heart was moved.
He can be on the grassland for the rest of his life, but he doesn't want his descendants to be on the grassland as well.
The grassland is too bitter.
He hopes that his descendants can go to the Central Plains, live and work in fertile land like the Han people, and do not have to be in danger of life at any time like on the grassland, and encounter cruel barbarians at any time, and be ready to fight at any time.
If he could become a famous minister of the Han Dynasty like Jin Il-jen, he would certainly not be able to ask for it.
Ke Bi no longer hesitated and asked Jiang Gan for advice, what should I do now?
Jiang Gan did not answer him directly, but said something meaningfully. "Master, you and Xun Changshi both prosper and lose both of them."
Ke Bineng is also a smart person, so he didn't ask any more questions.
Because Cheng Gongying was about to lead reinforcements, Ke Bi Neng did not continue to retreat east and stayed on the spot to prepare for war.
He first had a heartfelt talk with Xun Yun, and formally expressed his apology, hoping to work sincerely with Xun Yun, reverse the situation and avenge his previous shame.
Xun Yun also criticized himself a few words, and he let go of his past grudges with Ke Bi.
Immediately afterwards, based on the new map brought by Jiang Gan, they re-determined the combat plan.
Their target is the grassland north of the Black Sea, not the Kushan, so they should move westward, and keep moving westward.
As for Kushan, Jiang Gan will take over and contact us to strive to return to the original situation, that is, they will stay between the two rivers, rest for a winter, and continue to move west next year.
If Kushan refuses, the Western Regions Protectorate will allow them to see the combat effectiveness of the Han army again.
Although it was a pity to give up the Kushan piece of meat that had been chewed half, the Xianbei people also knew that although the Kushan piece of meat was fat and tender, they could not be able to chew them. If they hadn't been afraid of the Han people, the Kushan people would have long ago defeated them.
Kill them all.
With their current strength, it is already very difficult to deal with barbarians from the north and cannot fight on both sides.
If the Han people deal with the Kushans, they can concentrate their troops and face the barbarians from the north. The situation will definitely be much stronger than it is now.
The discussion was decided, Ke Bineng, Xun Yun rested on the spot, and Jiang Gan continued to move forward under Yang Feng's protection and rushed to Kushan.
In order to ensure Jiang Gan's safety, Xun Yun told Jiang Gan all the things he knew and arranged two guides for him to facilitate his visit to the Kushan nobles he had contacted before after he arrived at the capital of Kushan.
contact.
Although the Kushan tribes formed an alliance, the contradictions were not eliminated. Once the pressure from the Xianbei people was gone, they would inevitably have civil strife again. Jiang Gan went here to take advantage of the power of the Han Dynasty and try to defeat each of them.
If the Emperor could control the Kushan Kingdom before the emperor traveled west and the Han Dynasty had a foothold west of the Pamir Mountains, he would have made his first contribution.
