Another voice yelled angrily: "Just tell them to get out of the way, why is there so much nonsense! Leaking secrets is a capital crime!"
Liu Yu had heard and witnessed it since he was a child, and was much more sensitive than other businessmen. Moreover, he knew that Liu Xin was on a military expedition at this time. After hearing this, he knew that there must be some emergency military situation. He couldn't help but frown and said to Bian Zhang: "
Keep an eye on these two, I'll go down and take a look."
Bian Zhang agreed, took out the repeating crossbow from his arms, shook it towards Tatjana and Laura, and threatened: "You'd better be honest, or I'll shoot you to pieces!"
Before he could finish his words, Liu Yu had already turned over and jumped out of the grain cart, still looking like a sickly rice planter from before.
At this time, the surroundings were already in chaos. Many caravans who had just wrapped their goods and were preparing to set off rushed their cars to the roadside in a chaotic manner. Shopkeeper Cui was also sweating profusely. Although the food was not high in value, it was quite heavy.
The carriage finally made it onto the road, and now it has to rush to the roadside again. The guys are all struggling.[
Without saying anything, Liu Yu rolled up his sleeves and helped the guys get the carriage to the side of the road.
Because Gao Lan was injured, he did not help the guys work together. He leaned on the stick and said coldly to Liu Yu: "Why, your stomach doesn't hurt anymore?"
"I don't know what's going on. Anyway, it doesn't hurt anymore." Liu Yu chuckled and suddenly asked, "Gao Zhuangji, do you know what's going on?"
Shopkeeper Cui came over and said with a grimace: "I just asked someone to inquire. Enemies were discovered at the Dawan and Uzbeli fortresses at the same time. The soldiers and horses of the imperial court could not be mobilized in a hurry. They had to transport the supplies yesterday."
Send someone over."
Outside Kangju Border Pass, many soldiers were gathering. These were the old troops of the Yuan and Cao families, and many of them were from Hebei. Shopkeeper Cui happened to know one of them, and these old troops never knew what secrecy meant, so
Shopkeeper Cui heard the news.
Liu Yu looked at Shopkeeper Cui's anxious look and couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, Uncle Cui. Our Han army is very powerful. We will be able to wipe out all these scoundrels in a few days..."
But Gao Lan shook his head and said: "The enemy's move is very powerful. It is to cut off the food path of the Han soldiers in front..."
The old army troops outside Kangju Border Pass have been assembled. From a distance, they look dark but appear to be very neat.
Gao Lan was a man who had led troops and had some insights into the army. He pointed at the team, nodded and said: "There are about 30,000 people here. They all seem to be veterans who have gone through battles. They can be considered a team."
You are elite, but you don’t know what the enemy is like?”
While he was talking, the assembled old army had already moved over. The two generals at the head were none other than the brothers Xia Hou and Xia Houyuan. Yesterday, these two brothers were just low-level officers, but today they have become generals in charge of the army, and they have won the title of general.
He was riding a tall horse, wearing iron armor, each holding a sword and a spear. He was so majestic and high-spirited that Gao Yan's eyes were filled with excitement and his heart was sour.
This time the imperial court indeed encountered unprecedented difficulties, otherwise it would not have reactivated the Xiahou brothers and sent these old troops who had not been systematically trained by the Han army onto the battlefield.
Just in the early hours of this morning, Jia Xu suddenly received a letter from Feige from Uzbeli Fortress and Guishan City, saying that large groups of unknown people were found in these two places. Just now, another
A flying pigeon sent a message, and a group of cavalry tried to take advantage of the chaos to attack the fortress, but were repelled by the well-prepared defenders. However, Zhang Ren estimated that more enemies would come to invade the fortress soon.
Although it is not clear where these enemies came from, Jia Xu knew that the Uzbeli Fortress was built on the mountain and was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Zhang Ren was a famous general, so Jia Xu was not concerned about the security there.
He was not very worried. What he was worried about was Guishan City, the capital of Dawan County.
Dawan County is now under military control. There are 20,000 soldiers from the Western Region Army in the county. However, these soldiers are scattered throughout Dawan, especially concentrated on both sides of the transportation line from Uzbeli to Kangju. The guards of Guishan City are very empty.
, and there are no famous generals in charge.
As the Protector of the Western Regions, Jia Xu has a lot of troops in his hands, but the area under his jurisdiction is too large and there are not many people spread out. Jia Xu really doesn't think highly of these old troops from Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.
But he has available troops now
, we could only send them there first. More importantly, Jia Xu not only believed in the martial arts of the Xiahou brothers, but also believed that they were sincerely willing to serve the country, so he asked the two brothers to go with 30,000 old troops.
Aid Guishan City.
At this time, not only outside the Uzbel Fortress, but also outside Turugelt, more and more people gathered. The two exits of the Han Dynasty from Congling to the west were all cut off. These people suddenly showed up.
took the flag of the Wusun Kingdom.
In fact, the outside of Turugalt Fortress was originally the territory of Wusun. When a large number of troops appeared inside, the defenders of the fortress already knew that Wusun and the Han were going to fall out. Although they passed through Turugalt Fortress
Wusun can also reach the west, but because it was signed very early
But for the king and the nobles, the situation is completely different. These people all belong to the privileged class of a country, and Liu Xin's attitude towards the countries in the Western Regions is so clear. Although the kings of those small countries retain the title of king,
The standard has been reduced to the level of Hou, and many of their privileges have been cancelled. Now they can only be regarded as rich men, and they no longer have the power of life and death.
It was precisely based on this concern that Dawan united with Shule a few years ago to intercept the Han army. Instead, they were defeated and forced to sign the "Treaty of Shule". For the same reason, Wusun has always maintained a strong attitude towards the Han army.
They were very wary. When the envoy sent by Caracalla arrived in Wusun, the two sides hit it off immediately.
In Caracalla's original plan, when the Han expeditionary force arrived in the concession, Dawan, Wusun, and Kushan sent troops at the same time. Dawan attacked Uzbeli Fortress, Wusun attacked Turugelt Fortress, and Kushan
to attack Kang
They moved out in three directions, directly cutting off the retreat of the Han army. However, Atike acted too hastily and launched a coup in advance. As a result, Liu Xin took the opportunity to destroy Dawan, and formally incorporated Dawan into the territory of the Han Dynasty, becoming the Han army's territory.
A county.
Without Dawan as a helper, many variables appeared in Caracalla's plan. However, the "Se" King of Kushan was a little quick-witted and proposed an alternative plan, in which Wusun would send troops to attack the two fortresses on Congling at the same time.
, and he sent troops to attack Guishan first, and then to attack Kangju. Before that, he also sent many small groups of cavalry to sneak into the territory of Dawan, plundering and invading everywhere, and deceiving people.
However, in this large-scale battle, Wusun's troops were the first to arrive. They launched an attack on Uzbeli Fortress and Turugelt Fortress at the same time before noon, and the focus of the attack was not on Li.
Turug, which is closer to Wusun territory
Erte Fortress, but Uzbeli Fortress. Because everyone in Wusun knows that after passing Uzbeli Fortress, not far to the east is the bustling Seoul City. It can be said that there are all kinds of goods there, as long as they occupy it first
In Seoul, you can get whatever you want.
There are more than 200,000 young people in Wusun's country. This time, a total of 150,000 people were dispatched, which was almost the whole country's strength. According to the information that was carefully investigated in advance, the garrison of the two fortresses was only 30,000. Of course.
However, they did not know that Liu Xin had already deployed another 30,000 people to strengthen the defense of these two fortresses.
After the order to attack was given, groups of Wusun cavalry jumped off their horses, carried long ladders and rushed towards the Uzbeli Fortress.
Suddenly, the fortress gate that had been closed just now suddenly opened, and a large group of Han cavalry rushed into the Wusun army, waving their scimitars and harvesting lives wantonly. In just one round, Wusun's siege troops were defeated.
.The Han cavalry did not pursue the enemy again, reined in their horses and withdrew from the fortress.
General Wusun couldn't help but became furious, gathered up the defeated troops, and launched another attack on the fortress. Because before leaving, their king Xing Miyuan promised that whoever invades Seoul first will have money and beautiful women. Just for such a generous reward
, it’s worth risking your life for.
This time he learned the lesson and set up an ambush behind the siege troops. However, the Han army did not rush out again, but only stood on the top of the fortress, killing and wounding the enemies with bows and arrows.
