Liu Zhang nodded. Most of the people in the Western Regions are very superstitious and have very primitive beliefs. As long as the identity of the witch god Latia is confirmed, most of them will listen if Latia says there is a big disaster. Not to mention the Yuezhi army attacking, itself
It’s a disaster.[This article comes from]
"I dug a large basement in the original Xiye City and stored all the supplies of the Shache Palace in it. The Yueshi will not get any of it, at most they are some bricks and tiles. My Shache Palace is not luxurious either, so I have to be
The flood came and all the stone lions in my palace were moved away, and..."
After Latiya said this, she raised her head and glanced at Liu Zhang: "It seems that I am going to give you an advantage."
Liu Zhang was shocked, "Why are you giving me an advantage?"
"It's not like you don't know that back then I deceived the Qin Empire and the Yuezhi Empire to get armor, weapons and war horses, and I also deceived you from businessmen in Shu. The money was simply piled up like a mountain, with a lot of gold and a lot of copper coins. It was more than the original Sha
The whole country would be many times richer."
"Oh, I almost forgot. I am here to collect debts during my expedition to the Western Regions this time. It is to punish you, a fraudster." Liu Zhang had almost forgotten the purpose of coming to the Western Regions. At this time, after Latiya said it, he remembered that he had
It's because Latiya defrauded Fatty Jin and countless businessmen in Shu.
In order to seek justice for the merchants and for the might of the Han Dynasty, he sent troops, but this was only a superficial excuse. Liu Zhang always wanted to conquer the Western Regions.
After arriving in the Western Regions, I was so focused on how to control the Western Regions that I almost forgot my original intention.
Liu Zhang said casually: "This is what I want to get back. Why take advantage?"
"Qing Gao, okay then, you are not allowed to take away what I said below." Latiya pouted, stretched out her fingers and began to break them off: "I, Shache, defeated seventeen countries in total during the Eastern Expedition.
Among them were Yanqi and other six big countries, Qiuci and Shanshan were the biggest among the big countries, and more than twenty other countries surrendered.
All the surrendered countries paid tribute to our Yarkand. The countries that were directly defeated had almost all their treasury confiscated by our Yarkand, except for maintaining the operation of their palaces. Qiuci and Shanshan were all looted, not just their palaces.
and the cities under their rule.
Gold, silver, copper and iron, various metal utensils, pearl agate, various herbs, ores, jades, weapons that are not very useful, food, rare cloths, and various treasures. Everything is piled up in the underground city of Xiye
.
Since His Highness the King of Shu only wants to take back what belongs to the Han Dynasty, then Xiao Wang will return it to His Highness the King of Shu, but leave other materials to me, Shache, to rebuild the country."
"Ah?" Liu Zhang was so surprised that he couldn't speak. How could he have forgotten this? Latiya conquered countless countries, all the way to Loulan in the east, and plundered those who directly defeated them. Even if the Western Region was poor,
, those dozens of countries add up to an astronomical number.
The money of the merchants in Shu is just a drop in the bucket.
This time I suffered a big loss.
"Well, you see, now I want to establish the Western Region Protectorate and the border army. There are still many governorates that have not been established. As you know, our Sichuan Army has been using troops for many years and has to deal with two warlords, Cao Cao and
Sun Quan, money and food are really tight.
Well, Your Majesty the Queen, you see, you don’t have too many people in Yarkand anyway. After rebuilding Yarkand, do you think you can..."
"No, who would think that they have too much money?"
Latia decisively refused. Seeing the bitterness on Liu Zhang's face, she suddenly smiled, then pouted and said: "Forget it, you are holding me, so it's not without discussion. The condition is that you have to give Shache
Find a place with abundant water and grass to found a country."
"Well, that's it?" Liu Zhang breathed a sigh of relief. He finally got the treasure. He was very happy and said to Latia: "Do you have to get close to the big man?"
"I'm not threatening you now. Why do you have to rely on a big man?"
"How about the Luntai area of Kucha?"
Luntai was the headquarters of the Protectorate of the Western Regions selected by Liu Zhang, and it was also the area where the Protectorate's troops were stationed. It was considered a fertile land in the entire Western Region, with beautiful environment and abundant products, comparable to the fertile soil of the Central Plains.
Liu Zhang suddenly had an idea in his mind. In the past, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also settled in Luntai and relocated the Han people. However, not to mention that the cost of relocating the Han people was very high, and the population of the Central Plains had been devastated by successive wars.
Even though we are working hard to increase the population, how can anyone still migrate to the Western Regions? The migration will definitely not be strong.
But in this way, the Western Region Protectorate is located in a huge Qiuci Kingdom, and even if it controls the military power, it is not very stable.
But what if Luntai is surrounded by people from many countries? If the citizens of several countries check and balance each other, wouldn't the Western Region Protectorate be much more stable?
"I know you have a bad idea again, I can tell by looking at your expression." Latiya scolded: "But it doesn't matter, the place in Luntai is very good. When I conquered Kucha, I really wanted to move there, but
I had already planned to rebuild the country in the east, so I gave up and it would be a good idea to move there now."
Liu Zhang nodded and kissed Latiya's delicate forehead. Latiya immediately wiped it with her sleeve in disgust: "You've gone too far. Who told you to kiss me?" However, his body did not leave Liu Zhang's arms.
"Will you still be the Queen of Yarkand in the future?" Liu Zhang asked the question that Latiya had not answered just now.
…
"Report, report to the military advisor, the Yuezhi army requested to surrender, please let us pull them to the shore quickly and give them food."
Huang Yueying, with her protruding bones, was so powerful. Wang Xu, Su Lan and other Sichuan Army officers stood on a mountain east of the Shache Royal City, looking at Wang Yangzeguo in front of them, and they all couldn't accept it.
In the distance, the Shache King's City was soaked in water. The Yuezhi soldiers sought refuge in various highlands and gathered in groups everywhere. No one dared to put any part of their body into the water because there were countless poisons in it and they would be bitten if they entered.
And even so, those hungry aquatic poisonous creatures would sometimes come ashore to bite people and take away the lives of those Yuezhi soldiers.
Poison is only a small threat, and the lack of food is the biggest fear, because desert black snakes and desert scorpions come in and out frequently. Even if they bring medicine, those hungry snakes and scorpions will not let go of the passing Yuezhi transport troops.
The Yuezhi army's supply line was cut off as soon as the Yuezhi army arrived at King Shache City. These Yuezhi soldiers had been hungry for two days. Floods, poisons, no water, and no food made these expeditionary Yuezhi soldiers extremely desperate.
They didn't understand how they had occupied Yarkand before reinforcements could be sent back, and carried out a fire clearing in advance to prevent poisons. How could a win-win situation turn into this in a blink of an eye?
The Yuezhi army was terrified in the flooded Yarkand City. To the east was the surging Congling River, and on the east bank of the river were the Sichuan troops arrayed. The Yuezhi army had no way out and had no choice but to surrender.
It was not a surrender, but an urgent begging for surrender. They had already thrown away their weapons and only begged the Sichuan Army to accept their surrender. The Yuezhi soldiers did not speak Chinese, and the soldiers approaching the Sichuan Army were gesticulating in a hurry. The Sichuan Army thought they were about to invade.
On the defensive line, many batches were accidentally killed.
Finally, the Sichuan Army finally figured out the situation.
Huang Yueying's face was expressionless as she listened to the soldiers' reports. She was also wondering in her heart. She originally thought that without Latiya's help, the 40,000 Yuezhi army occupied Yarkand City first. If the Sichuan army attacked, it would definitely cause heavy casualties and would be protracted.
If it weren't for Liu Zhang, Huang Yueying would not want to fight this war. She did not have the concept that the Western Regions were the territory of the Han Dynasty. For such a costly war, Huang Yueying would rather use the Congling River as the boundary and rule across the river from Guishang.
But because this was Liu Zhang's last wish, Huang Yueying personally led the army here, and was determined to annihilate the Yue clan and let the Yue clan's 40,000 troops be buried with her husband.
Huang Yueying is prepared to face a tough war.
However, she did not expect that by the time the Sichuan army arrived, the Yueshi would be trapped in the water, still in a desperate situation of plundering poisons and without food. It was like punching the air with all her strength. Huang Yueying felt empty in her heart.
"We will not accept surrender." Huang Yueying said, agreeing that these Yuezhi soldiers were used to bury her husband with her.
"Yes." The soldier took the order and left.
At this moment, a soldier from the rear came galloping up: "Strategist, strategist, good news, good news, great news."
A soldier rushed over on horseback with a red face. Huang Yueying, Wu Tugu and other generals looked at the soldiers with gloomy expressions. At this time, what other good news is there? Even if they won a great victory like the Battle of Guanzhong,
What else is there to be happy about?
So awesome, he has decided that when the soldier can't say anything, he will go up and tear him alive. In fact, he doesn't believe that the soldier can say anything that will make him and Huang Yueying happy, so he will definitely tear him apart.
.
"What's the matter?" Huang Yueying frowned and asked coldly. After Huang Yueying's appearance recovered, her touching beauty has exceeded the scope of normal people's understanding. People who have seen Huang Yueying's face will first instinctively be amazed, but looking back
When I came here, there was only a feeling of extreme beauty. I couldn't describe the beauty, so I couldn't wait to see it again.
With a perfect figure and a stunning face, Huang Yueying stands on the mountain where the breeze blows, her long hair flying like fairy dust.
But when I saw her frosty face clearly, I could only feel that this fairy came from the ice hell. A majestic and chilling aura not only did not diminish half due to the astonishing beauty, but instead enveloped everything around her.
Even though the soldier knew that what he was bringing was real good news, he was startled by Huang Yueying's murderous intention, and then he stuttered and said: "Commander, the lord is resurrected. After asking the military counselor to deal with the Yuezhi army, he immediately rushed back to Jingjue."
.”
"Hmph, this is considered good news, I will tear you apart." He stepped out with a strong conditioned reflex, but as soon as he took a step, he suddenly froze, stared at the copper bell with big eyes and shouted at the soldier: "What did you say?
Can you say that again?"
Huang Yueying and others also looked at the soldier intently. They did not believe in any resurrection, but a thought passed through them. Why is this soldier so bold? What is wrong with him?
"Good general, my lord is resurrected and is waiting for the military advisor and generals in Jingjue City." the soldier repeated again.
