In just half a month, Shanshan and the two countries were cleaned up by the Zhao army from beginning to end. In the two countries, all royal clans, except for important people, were escorted to Dunhuang, the rest,
All of them will be executed.
The great tyrants in the two countries, whether Han or other tribes, were killed by the Zhao army during the battle of siege. All the property of the family was confiscated and became the property of the government. It was nothing else, because these big tyrants were all killed by the chaos.
The property of the powerful has no descendants to inherit, and they all died in the chaos.
In late autumn, the result of the war in the northwest was finally delivered to Zhao Xun.
"here you go!"
Zhao Xun secretly applauded, and Situ Liang and others were also happy. Taking over Shanshan and the two countries means that Liangzhou will restore its old appearance and restore its mid-term level of Daoyan. And taking over these two places will also
It is equivalent to intercepting the countries in the Western Regions outside the border. The Zhao army's next actions can completely put aside the influence of the countries in the Western Regions. At least, it can defend against the enemy from outside the border. This victory is of great significance.
"Lord, although these two places have been won, Lord Wei also talked about the problem. These two times, the proportion of Han people is too small, which is not conducive to our rule." Pei Yi said in a deep voice.
Situ Liang said: "Not only that, the five western prefectures are not connected with our Great Zhao, so it is difficult for us to effectively support it. However, the five northwest prefectures are difficult to support too many troops, facing the countries of the Western Regions.
The pressure may be difficult to support. Although the countries in the Western Regions have not sent troops directly, our army's actions will definitely make Gaochang and other countries feel threatened. In addition, the secret contacts of the Liangzhou army, Gaochang and other countries have sent troops.
The possibility is still very high."
"Therefore, my subordinates believe that Lord Wei's suggestion is still feasible. In the two places, let those foreigners build cities and defend them according to the city. On the one hand, it can reduce the pressure on defense, and on the other hand, it can also reduce the population of foreigners.
.”
"In addition, we can order the army of Yanju Prefecture to go west directly and take down Ganzhou Prefecture and Suzhou Prefecture to open up contact with the five northwest prefectures as soon as possible to complete the exchange of existence and non-existence. From then on, we can not only provide military support, but also
It can migrate the people and fill the population vacancy of the five northwestern governments."
Zhao Xun nodded and said in a deep voice: "Send an order to the Yanju Prefecture army and let it attack west immediately. Send an order to the southern army of Lingzhou Prefecture to increase the attack and attract the Liangzhou army to move south.
As for those two arrogant and self-reliant so-called kings, they will be killed on the spot! Xu Ye made such a great contribution and was granted the title of General Wuwei!"
King Zhao ordered Dunhuang to take action immediately. Shanshan and Wei countries changed to Shanshan and Wei governments and established a prefecture system. He also ordered the people of both places to build cities and move from Dunhuang and Jiuquan to domiciles.
More than 2,000 Han residents were moved to settle in two places to balance the gap between the Han and the Yi.
According to regulations, five cities were built in each place and expanded on the original towns. All the people in the two places were mobilized, and those who did not follow the crowd died.
The lonely kings of the two countries were also killed by the Zhao army in public. This move also told people in Liangzhou and people from the Western Regions that anyone who opposes the Zhao army will be barred from their tribe.
All the people in the three northwest prefectures who made contributions in this battle were rewarded. Xu Ye was officially promoted to general because of this battle.
"General Xu, you're doing a good job! The lord has an order to let General Xu be the deputy general of the third town. That is to say, from now on, you and I will be the robes of the same army. Haha... It's Xue who can cooperate with General Xu.
It's a honor." Xue Qinglan and Xu Ye stood on the hills, watching tens of thousands of people in the area building a new city.
"The general is absurd! This time, it is thanks to the lives of the general's soldiers."
"Okay...you and I are both soldiers, so there is no need to say much if you refuse..."
"General!"
A scout rushed to Xue Qinglan in the distance and reported: "Report to General Qi, a hundred miles west of Qiwei Prefecture, we found a large number of Wusun people approaching and even attacking the caravans that passed by from here.
”
Xue Qinglan was stunned and said: Wusun people? Now there are still people who come to make our own ideas? However, the Wusun people came to advance eastward and even provoked the Zhao army, which is a bad sign.
Xue Qinglan immediately said to Xu Ye: "General Xu, do you know what big Wusun tribes or countries are around?"
Xu Ye said in a deep voice: "There are quite a few people in Wusun to the west, and the ones are the Tulun tribe recently. But logically speaking, if we take this place, they should not attack us. We should not attack the caravan.
.And what they need is the past of the caravans here to replenish the materials they need. General, if nothing unexpected happens, it must be caused by other countries' secret instigation." Xu Ye also surrounded the two palaces
He told Xue Qinglan in detail.
Xue Qinglan's face was solemn and said in a deep voice: "The Western countries such as Yanqi, Kucha, Shule, Khotan, and Gaochang all have other ideas about Liangzhou. Naturally, they do not want Liangzhou to be forced to do so.
The Lord occupied. Now, our Zhao army has taken over the three northwest prefectures, destroyed the two countries they supported, and even made great efforts to build cities and migrate the people. Naturally, they will not stop there, but they can't figure out us clearly. This time
It is inevitable to test it.”
"The general's intention is to defeat the Wusun people in the west?"
Xue Qinglan said coldly: "It's not that we defeated, but that we will swallow this tribe! This is a lot of people! These countries in the Western Regions really think that our Zhao army is as vulnerable as the Liangzhou army.
This operation will make them frightened and they will not dare to infringe easily."
"Now, there are only 6,000 defenders in the two places. The army is dispatched, I'm afraid..."
"It's okay, although there are only 6,000 elite soldiers in these two places, there are still 4,000 new soldiers. It's no problem to let them monitor the two palaces and confuse the enemy's detailed work. Although I dare not say how long it can be concealed, as long as I can drag it on
In two days, we can win." Xue Qinglan said in a deep voice.
"The general said that we would bring the four thousand surrendered soldiers in this battle?" Xu Ye frowned, "Although they are loyal to the Great Zhao now, their combat power is probably too far from our cavalry. Originally, they were
As local government soldiers and county soldiers, I am afraid I will continue to train."
Then, Xu Ye smiled bitterly and said, "However, the combat power of our soldiers is far beyond their comparison. Even the equipment of the soldiers is not comparable to that of them."
Xue Qinglan said in a deep voice: "This time we will make achievements in one battle. If we don't send them out, it will be difficult to achieve the greatest success. So, I personally lead our cavalry in front and kill the enemy's outpost. General Xu brought them behind,
Assist us in fighting the battle when we attack the Tulun tribe. Of course, it is still no problem to assist us in guarding the prisoners and confiscate the spoils."
"Okay! Since the general has this intention, then the general will accompany the general to fight with the Tulum tribe."
Immediately, five thousand Zhao army cavalry followed Xue Qinglan to the west.
A hundred miles west of Qiewei Prefecture, a team of 3,000 people was camping here. The leader of this army was named Tuman, who was the clan of the chief of the Tulun tribe. The Zhao army captured Qiewei two
The country had little to do with them, and as long as the Zhao army did not come to attack them, they hoped that the Zhao army could maintain the past business path. Therefore, after first learning that the Wei Kingdom was captured by the Zhao army, they did not provoke the Zhao army.
.
However, a few days ago, their leaders reached an agreement with several countries in the west to attack the Zhao army of Qiweifu. Of course, they also heard that there were not many Zhao troops in the western part of Liangzhou, and they were alone.
There were no reinforcements later, and the Liangzhou army also attacked them in the east. The Tulun tribe learned about the situation and knew that if this battle was won, they would also get a lot of benefits.
So, the Tulun tribe began to prepare to attack the Qiwei Mansion. In their opinion, the Zhao army built a city in the Qiwei Mansion, which was nothing more than because the troops were insufficient and difficult to resist, so they were ready to build a city to defend.
"General, five miles away is the other party's camp, with a total of 3,000 people. They are already camping here and preparing to rest here for the night."
Xue Qinglan nodded and said, "Very good, the first battalion, the second battalion charges with the general, the third and fourth battalions are on the left and right sides, and the fifth battalion detours the rear of the enemy camp. This time, we will wipe them out in one fell swoop, and
I can't let anyone go. The little Wusun tribe dares to attack me, Zhao Jun, and I don't know how to live or die."
The third, fourth and fifth battalions immediately ran left and right, slowed down, forming a large circle, wrapping up the enemy's great circle five miles away.
Not long after, news came from each side and the third battalion had arrived at the designated location. Xue Qinglan looked at the enemy camp under the dim twilight in the distance and ordered coldly: "The whole army is ready to fight for me!"
In an instant, two thousand cavalry followed Xue Qinglan and rushed towards the Tulun tribe camp five miles away. The rumbling sound suddenly shook the sky, alarming the entire Wusun camp. Suddenly, there was a riot in the Wusun camp.
"Zhao army... is Zhao army... damn it, how could they appear here? Counterattack! Use bows and arrows! Shoot the opponent's war horses!" Amid the officer's call, the three thousand Wusun troops looked like headless flies.
They barely began to assemble, and raised their bows and arrows to attack the Zhao army who were rushing to attack.
"I'm afraid of bows and arrows? The whole army is ready, rain of arrows!"
"Swish swish swish swish..."
Above the two thousand cavalry, a black cloud flew out in a buzzing sound. The black clouds slid across the sky and fell on the Wusun soldiers for a moment. The Wusun soldiers were not as good as the Zhao army.
A large area of armor fell down immediately. The arrows of the Wusun people only brought some casualties to the Zhao army. The soldiers of the Zhao army all had armor on them. Especially in the vital places, they were even more so.
Exquisite armor protects the body.
Just as two rounds of arrow rain passed, the Zhao cavalry rushed into the Wusun camp.
"Counterattack! Counterattack!" Tuman roared shrillly. He never expected that he would be attacked by the Zhao army. Didn't it mean that the Zhao army was short of troops? Why is this happening?
At this moment, there was a chaos on both sides and behind the Wusun army. On both sides and behind, a Zhao cavalry with more than a thousand people suddenly broke out, like a sharp knife, stabbing the Wusun people around him, killing him.
The Wusun people were lying on their horses and corpses were everywhere.
"We were caught in the ambush of the Zhao army..." Wusun soldiers were frightened and shouted in horror, and fled in scattered. However, the camp was surrounded by soldiers of Zhao army, where could they escape?
?
In the end, the entire Wusun army was destroyed here, and its leader, Tuman, was also beheaded by the Zhao army.
"For a short rest, we will continue to march and will definitely annihilate the Tulun tribe!"
…………
Tulun tribe is composed of more than a dozen small tribes, distributed on the half-prairie and half-Gobi nearly a thousand miles west of the Qiwei Prefecture. They had no intention of attacking the Zhao army this time. However, Gaochang and other countries had no intention of attacking the Zhao army.
It is said that the Zhao army has not many troops now, so it can be swallowed. Otherwise, when the Zhao army reinforcements come in the future, with the Zhao army's arrogant attitude, his Tulun army will sooner or later be like the Qiwei Kingdom and will be defeated by the Zhao army.
It was destroyed. So the Tulun tribe sent people to test it. Therefore, at this moment, 15,000 soldiers from the Tulun tribe had gathered in the center of the Tulun tribe.
About fifteen or sixteen miles southeast of the Tulun Tribe Camp, there is a gentle hill covered by lush forests, stretching for dozens of miles, spreading all the way and is under the jurisdiction of the palace. This forest is also the southern part of the Tulun Tribe.
Among them, the only woodland is also a natural protective net east of Tulum.
At this moment, in front of a section of forest in the south, dense cavalry emerged, with thousands of people. They were the Zhao cavalry brought by Xue Qinglan himself, who came from the Qiwei Mansion. In addition to the five thousand Zhao troops, they were the Zhao army cavalry brought by Xue Qinglan himself.
The cavalry, and the four thousand surrendered soldiers who followed Xu Ye, followed by the four thousand Shanshan and less than two places.
These surrendered soldiers were more qualified soldiers selected from the soldiers of the two countries. Their equipment was far worse than that of the Zhao army. Without armor, they were all simple cloth armor and leather armor, and their weapons were
The spear and spear are mainly used, with swords and bows, but their morale is quite good. After all, they have been following Zhao's army for more than ten days, and coupled with the military rules and treatment of Zhao's army, they are not high.
No. Their families were all in the two palaces and enjoyed better treatment, and they had to fight for the Zhao army. Of course, more importantly, they participated in the killing of the powerful clans and kings in the two palaces.
Things were covered with the blood of these powerful clans and royal families.
Xue Qinglan was at the front of the team, holding a spear in his hand, and coldly staring at the fire that was clearly visible from miles away. There was their target this time. As long as the more than 10,000 troops there were destroyed, the Tulun tribe would no longer be
Have any threat.
Xu Ye, who was next to Xue Qinglan, said: "General, it seems that the Tulun tribe is still waiting for the news of the soldiers who are going to test our soldiers! These bastards are simply ignorant of life and death, and they have not even arranged a whistle."
Xue Qinglan smiled and said, "This is the headquarters of the Tulun tribe. How did they think we would come through the mountains? There was no sentry to be attacked at night."
"Let the scouts go up and first deal with the patrols and guards around the camp. So that we can get closer and then launch a sneak attack. This operation will be broken after they rest and make them completely gone.
”
Teams of scouts were sent out and disappeared from sight. These scouts were all elite among the Zhao cavalry. It was naturally no problem to deal with the other side's guards and patrol soldiers, not to mention that the people here were not at all.
I knew there would be invasions from other places here, and the guards were not tight.
A moment later, a cavalry rushed over and immediately bowed and said, "Report to the general, the scout, the news came from that, all the other party's whistle stakes have been killed."
"Good job!" Xue Qinglan exclaimed, then turned around and ordered, "Kill the enemy camp and record the merits with the head! Anyone holding a weapon will be killed without any attention!"
Ten thousand horses galloped in the forest. Under the cool full moon, the overwhelming Zhao army was like a big river breaking its dam, rushing towards the Tulun camp several miles away...
At this time, the soldiers in the Tulun tribe, the leaders and chiefs of various tribes were alarmed by the sound of horse hooves, and they stood up one after another, looking to the east in fear. After a moment, someone shouted, "The Zhao army is here! The Zhao army kills the Zhao army.
Here comes!"
Tuhe, the leader of the Tulun tribe who had just come out of the camp, and the tribal nobles saw that in the darkness of the east, an irresistible army was sweeping towards them. They were so scared that they turned and stumbled to the rear, but
It was too late, and the Zhao army's vanguard had already rushed in like a tsunami and a flood.
"Kill! Anyone who holds a weapon, kill it without any hesitation!" Xue Qinglan stabbed a spear and immediately stabbed a Tulun school to death, shouting loudly.
The soldiers of the Zhao army became more and more excited, and the army rushed into the camp of soldiers who had just been built not long ago. After more than 15,000
Most of the soldiers were sleeping, while some were awake and at a loss. They never expected that the Zhao army would cross two or three hundred miles and appear in the camp of the tribe headquarters.
A tent collapsed by the ropes cut off and woke up from the dream of the Tulun soldiers in great horror. They cried and ran away in scattered ways, but they could not escape the horse hoofs and shiny swords of the Zhao cavalry and the newly surrendered two suburban soldiers.
The soldiers were killed so much that their heads were rolling, corpses were everywhere, and blood slowly soaked the earth...
The battle overnight was until dawn, and the entire Tulun tribe was killed into ruins and all the tents were burned. The soldiers of the Zhao army gathered the prisoners while chasing the Wusun people of the Tulun tribe who were desperately fleeing......
Xue Qinglan and Xu Ye used less than 10,000 soldiers to successfully attack and gather together to attack the Tulun tribe of the Zhao army. They beheaded 13,000 soldiers of the Tulun tribe and killed all the nobles, chiefs, and elders.
More than 28,000 women and children were captured, and almost all Tulun tribes were destroyed, and only a few were able to escape and rushed to other countries to the west.
Subsequently, Xue Qinglan and Xu Ye led nearly 10,000 Zhao troops to escort tens of thousands of Wusun people, women and children from the Tulun tribe and moved to the Dunhuang land. Then, they would be broken up and split and placed in the five northwest prefectures.
The land became a people under the rule of the Zhao army.
Poor Tulun tribe, he failed to seek benefits, but was destroyed in one battle.
