When the results of the battle of Wukou City were transmitted back to the royal capital, Gaochang King Gao Ya was immediately stunned on the spot, "What? Coming back in a fiasco? Most of the Pro-Guard troops have been lost? ”

"Back to ...... Returning to the king, it is true! The army of Zhao Jun has rushed to Wukou City, and now, in Wukou City, there are tens of thousands of Zhao troops. The herald replied with a pale face.

"What about Gao Lin, who led the army? Why didn't he come back to see me? ”

"Your Majesty, General Gao Lin killed himself after his defeat! Therefore......" The herald saw that Gao Ya's face was becoming more and more ugly, and explained in a loud voice.

"What?" Gao Ya couldn't sit still, Gao Lin was his cronie and had done many 'private' things for him. Now that he suddenly heard that Gao Lin had died, it was even more difficult for him to accept than the entire army of the pro-guards.

"How so?" Gao Ya muttered to himself, "Could it be that this is the fate of my Gao Changguo? No. This king will not be willing to fail! By the way, where is the great army that our army has withdrawn from the west now? When will you arrive under Wukou City? Gao Ya turned to ask the inner 'waiter' beside him.

"Back to the king, the callback army just passed the royal capital yesterday, and there is still a day to go before Wukou City." The inner 'waiter' replied cautiously.

"One day? Damn, if Gao Lin could hold on for another day, maybe he wouldn't be so passive. Pity...... Hateful...... Aren't the Wusun people living in the valley of the Shiba River basin going to support us? What are they doing now? Did they send troops? ”

"Not yet!"

"Haha......" Gao Ya laughed angrily, "You want to use my Gao Changguo as a pawn?" Do you want my army of Gaochang Kingdom and Qiuzi Kingdom to fight to the death? A bunch of stupid pigs! If my Gaochang Kingdom is gone, will the Wusun people in his west be able to get benefits? Immediately send a message to Wusun Kingdom, if they don't come to help, my Gaochang Kingdom will be gone. At that time, I, Gaochang Kingdom, will definitely become the vanguard of the Qiuzi Kingdom and the Zhao army attacking the Wusun Kingdom. ”

Wukou City, since then Li Chenfeng led the army to arrive, and this place immediately settled down. Xu Ye no longer continued to worry about the defense of Wukou City. The original people in the city and the surrounding towns were also gathered by the Zhao army and began to clean up Wukou City after the war. The bodies were collected, incinerated, and buried one by one.

"General Li, General Xu, news came from the west that the follow-up army of Gaochang Kingdom passed through the capital of the king of Gaochang yesterday and came straight to this Wukou City. The reinforcements this time were all garrisons of the Qiuzi army that had been 'drawn' from the east and south to the western region. Now, we have one day to go, and they'll be here tomorrow morning. The captain of the scout team hurriedly replied to Xu Ye and Li Chenfeng with the news from the investigation.

"General Xu, what do you think?" Letting the scout stand down, Li Chenfeng said with a smile.

Xu Ye said in a deep voice: "The enemy army has just been 'pumped' from the east and south to the west, and it has not stopped, and it has been hurriedly withdrawn. At this moment, they must be exhausted. With the intention of the last general, this time we must take the initiative to attack and raid the opponent's reinforcements tonight. After this battle, there was no longer a threat to Gaochangguo. ”

Li Chenfeng nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, what you said is very much in line with me." However, in order not to be noticed, we still set out tonight and attacked the camp on the eve of dawn. The cavalry who came with me had already shouted that they were going to fight, and now it was time for them to move! ”

Seeing Li Chenfeng say this, Xu Ye had no choice but to smile bitterly, "Then the general will defend the city here, and I wish the general a victorious return." ”

Seeing Xu Ye's expression, Li Chenfeng didn't know what the other party was thinking, and chuckled: "You have just experienced a big battle, and you are still injured, take a good rest." The war in the Western Regions is not limited to this. ”

Not long after the battle of Wukou City, the 20,000 troops of Gao Changguo came back late, and they hurriedly arrived at the lower reaches of the Ili River, which was only half a day's journey from Wukou City.

"The whole army was ordered to repair the whole army, and news has come from the front line that Wukou City has not been captured after all. Now, Wukou City has gathered more than 20,000 Zhao troops. Gao Changguo's reinforcement coach Bei Yu said coldly.

But seeing that the faces of the generals around him were tight, he said: "But don't worry, although our army finally failed in attacking Wukou City, the Zhao army in Wukou City also failed well." Even if it is a new reinforcement, it is 'fine' exhausted. Our army repaired again for one night, and arrived at Wukou City tomorrow morning to attack Wukou City, which was bound to break through Wukou City and drive the Zhao army out. We are also traveling fast for many days, have a good rest tonight, in addition, send people to strengthen the patrol, although after the hard battle of the Zhao army, it should not send people to fight again, but we can't be unguarded! ”

He was right, he was going to spend the night here to recuperate and get rid of the fatigue caused by the multi-day march. At the same time, it can also allow the soldiers to adjust their mood. However, he underestimated Zhao Jun's understanding of the surrounding military situation and underestimated Zhao Jun's determination. At the same time, tired soldiers, where can they patrol and probe well?

That night, in the riverside garrison camp repaired by the Gaochang army, a group of men and horses quietly appeared several miles away. Although there were patrol soldiers patrolling back and forth for several miles around this large camp, as the night 'color' worsened, they became scarce, and some secret sentries were also killed by Zhao Jun's spies one by one.

This group of men and horses is the 7,000 Great Zhao cavalry led by Li Chenfeng. From a distance, there was still a little fire in the camp, and a large flag stood over the camp and swayed gently. The night was deep, the clouds covered the moon, and there was a faint cool breeze on the whole riverside.

Li Chenfeng rode on a white 'colored' horse, holding the reins and holding a spear obliquely. His eyes looked at the Gaochang State camp not far away. Behind Li Chenfeng, there was a black oppression, silent, only the faint sound of breathing was connected. They, too, looked at the enemy camp in the distance, waiting for the time to come.

Time passed, the night 'color' deepened, the fire in the Gaochang State camp gradually dimmed, far away, the whole camp fell into a silence, under the night 'color', the sound of insects, faintly audible......

"General, it's past the third watch, and it's almost the fourth watch." Xiao Xiao whispered to Li Chenfeng.

"Pass the order, the whole army is ready to act, after the fourth watch, act according to the plan, go out in three ways, and wipe it out in one fell swoop!" Li Chenfeng looked at the Gaochang Guo camp in the distance and ordered in a cold voice.

Horse bits, hooves wrapped in cloth, seven thousand Zhao cavalry stood quietly behind Yue Xi. They already have a deep understanding of the situation here. Now, although there are more than 20,000 enemy troops on the opposite side, the soldiers do not feel nervous at all. This is not the first time that the Da Zhao cavalry has experienced such a situation.

Time passed quickly, and the fourth watch had arrived. At this time, people sleep the deepest, and their vigilance against 'sex' is also the lowest. And the enemy spies around the Gaochang State camp were all pulled out one by one by Zhao Jun's probes.

"General, enemy patrols and spies have all been disposed of, and now, they can act."

Li Chenfeng nodded slightly, his eyes were slightly cold, and he suddenly raised his spear and exclaimed: "Kill with me!" Immediately, the war horse under the crotch rushed out and rushed towards the big camp.

They were followed by thousands of cavalry, and suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves roared like a flood that burst the embankment, and in an instant it roared over the earth, and the whole earth began to tremble slightly.

And the guards stationed at the 'gate' of the Gaochang Guoda battalion had just woken up at this moment, and they didn't know what was going on. A soldier looked forward while rubbing his eyes, and in an instant, he saw the cavalry galloping not far ahead.

"Enemy ......" The soldier watched the robes around him be 'shot' into hedgehogs one by one by the rain of arrows. Frightened, as soon as he shouted a word, he saw a black dot in front of him, and he immediately lost consciousness.

Before the Zhao army could reach the 'gate' of the camp, all the soldiers guarding the 'gate' of the battalion had been killed. And the Gaochang soldiers inside the camp still don't know what's going on. After all, no one is in a good mood when they have just been woken up from their sleep by a rumbling sound, let alone thinking about what is happening now. In particular, there was no warning, and many soldiers went to the next trip, ready to go back to sleep.

"Kill!" Seeing this scene, Li Chenfeng was secretly happy, waved his spear, and with one shot, he picked up the horse in front of the camp 'gate' and rushed directly into it. Knowing that Li Chenfeng led the army into the camp more than 100 meters and set fire to dozens of camp tents, at this time, he was noticed by the Gaochang soldiers in the camp.

"Enemy Attack ......"

"Zhao Jun is here!"

In an instant, the entire camp was alarmed, and at this moment, the Zhao army had already killed left and right and in front of the camp, rushing into the camp. When they saw a man, they killed them, and when they saw a tent, they set fire to them. Many disheveled soldiers of the Gaochang Kingdom were ready to intercept, but they were all killed one by one by the powerful Zhao soldiers.

A moment later, the camp of the Gaochang Kingdom became a sea of fire, reflecting the entire sky. Many soldiers of Gaochang were directly trapped in it by the burning battle until they were burned to death......

The commander of the Gaochang State camp, Pei Yu, also woke up in his sleep, and after hearing this, his face was suddenly angry, but when he walked out of the camp tent and saw Zhao Jun killing his own soldiers and burning his own camp in his camp as if no one was in a place, his heart was suddenly like ashes.

"General, how is it good?" Several bloodied generals beside Yu Yu asked in a trembling voice.

Pei Yu smiled bitterly and said sharply: "How is it good?" In this situation, what else can you do besides fighting to the death? As a warrior of Gaochang Kingdom, don't be afraid and fight them to the death! ”

After trimming his clothes and armor, he rode out of his horse. The little school behind him had no choice but to follow.

Li Chenfeng saw a well-dressed military general killed, and immediately went straight away, the two 'fought' for only five rounds, and Pei Yu was first 'shot' by Sergeant Zhao and the war horse rolled to the ground, and was immediately shot by Li Chenfeng and killed under the horse.

"The general is dead......

Suddenly, after the death of Peiyu, the only little resistance in the entire camp completely collapsed. The entire Gaochang State camp on the bank of the river suddenly ignited a raging flame, and the soldiers of the battalion also became rabbits under the tiger's claws, chased and killed by the Zhao army......

Although the Zhao army did not capture the spoils from it, the 8,000 soldiers also wiped out the 25,000 and Gaochang army. In the end, there are very few people who can escape......

"General, there are more than 20,000 soldiers of Gaochang Kingdom, I am afraid that it is the last mobile force of Gaochang Kingdom. Now, the land around the capital of King Gaochang for hundreds of miles will open its arms to us, are we ......?"

Li Chenfeng pondered for a moment, and said: "Immediately send an order to Wukou City, except for the soldiers who stayed behind, and all the rest will be dispatched and go straight to the capital of King Gaochang." The king of Gaochang was defeated, and the state of Gaochang ceased to exist. Our operations in the northern part of the Western Regions have largely accomplished their goals. ”

"Impossible! How is this possible? Hearing the news of the scattered soldiers from the front line, Gao Ya's heart suddenly became dead, his body was weak, and he couldn't calm down anymore.

"Your Majesty, now, my King Gaochang has no soldiers or even the surrounding area, and now I am ......," an official said in a trembling voice.

"What do you want to say?" Gao Ya's face turned cold, "You want this king to surrender?" Do you think Zhao Jun will let us go? Do you think that even if this king dies, you will be fine? Let's think about the situation in Yanqi Kingdom, how many officials are alive in Yanqi Country now? Even if this king dies, you can't escape, you have a lot to do with this king! ”

Many officials who were ready to exhort Gao Ya to surrender to Zhao Jun suddenly felt a tightening, and their faces couldn't help but turn pale. Gao Ya is right, whether they descend or not, there are few officials in this hall who can survive.

"Zhao Jun is hateful! So how is it good now? ”

"Don't worry, this king has secretly contacted the Wusun Kingdom, and they will send troops to help. My Gaochang Kingdom is the eastern barrier of Wusun Kingdom, if we are gone, his Wusun Kingdom will face the front of the Zhao army. As long as we can hold out for a few days, the Wusun Kingdom will definitely come to the aid of a large army. At this moment, Gao Ya can only pin his hopes on the Wusun people in the west of Gaochang Kingdom.

If it weren't for the Turkic infighting, if it wasn't for the Zhao army beating the eastern Turks to contain the western Turkic tribes, why would this be the case now? Hmph, when this crisis is resolved, this king is bound to contact the Wusun people and the Turks, and the coalition army will storm the foundation of your Zhao army in the Western Regions. Even the Central Plains has not yet been unified, and they still want to attack the idea of our Western Regions...... At this moment, Gao Ya can only curse frantically in his heart.

However, before Gao Ya could make any preparations, the army of Zhao Jun had already driven outside the royal city. Although Gao Ya urgently mobilized the only little military strength to garrison, and hurriedly requisitioned young and strong people from the city to defend the city, this still could not save the fate of Gao Changguo. After the Zhao army shook the sky and thundered and blew up a gap in the city's 'gate', the defenders of the royal city collapsed in an instant.

As Gao Ya said, ninety percent of the officials in the royal city died in the war, and only a very few survived. And Gao Ya was killed by Zhao Jun and the 'chaotic' army. With the support of Zhao Jun, a member of the royal family who was less than ten years old was put on the throne by the only remaining officials and the Zhao army garrison and became the new king of Gaochang.

"Congratulations to my lord, the king of Gaochang has been broken, and now, the country of Gaochang has also entered the hands of our army." In the city of Yiwufu, Zhang Yuanjing and others reported to Zhao Xun about the war in Gaochangguo with laughter.

Zhao Xun was also secretly happy, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his face, "The outcome of this battle of Gaochangguo has long been expected by us. This is not only because we are strong, but also because all the civil and military officials up and down have paid a lot of luck for this, and we have also made a lot of preparations. The victory in this battle is also deserved. ”

"By the way, what is the situation in Gaochang China? All arranged? ”

Zhang Yuanjing said with a smile: "Everything is according to the Yanqi Kingdom, which supported Xiao Wang to ascend to the throne. In the same way, we have left behind a very small number of officials who are willing to join us and stand on our side. On the surface, it was the king of Gaochang and the officials who spoke, but in fact, it was our officials who gave orders. Everywhere, there are our officers stationed and in control. ”

Zhao Xun nodded with satisfaction and said, "This is very good, in addition, the regional reform, the compilation of prefectures and counties, and the statistics of residents must be implemented immediately." In addition, the county soldiers and government soldiers above the local area must be formed immediately, and here, they still follow the example of Yanqi and calm down the entire Gaochang Kingdom in the shortest possible time. ”

"As for those diehards, they will all be sent to the north where they meet the Turks, and build cities on the spot, although they cannot be said to be compared with the Great Wall, but they must also form a protective belt on the horizontal axis."

After a pause, Zhao Xun said again: "Although we have taken the capital of the king of Gaochang, we have never controlled the south and west of Gaochang Kingdom. The west is better, but it was a mess by the army of the Guizi country, and if we take over, the local people should be happy to do so. After all, it is only through suffering that we know the preciousness of peace. ”

"And the south of Gaochang is to connect with Yanqi State, and now, there are still 20,000 or 30,000 Gaochang soldiers and young soldiers stationed in the south. Here, if it can be won peacefully, it is naturally the best. If not, it must be exterminated in the shortest possible time. If these soldiers go out, they will surely become a scourge to the land. ”

"In addition, give the army of the country of Qiuzi an order to stop their operations, station in place, and wait for orders. If the western region can accept the order of the new king, it is naturally the best, if not, then it can only let the army of the Qiuzi Kingdom continue to plague. ”

"In addition, it is necessary to increase the settlement of immigrants and expand trade routes. For us, the business road not only brings huge financial revenue, but also drives the Han people to move westward and move here. Only when the proportion of Han people here increases, can our Han people occupy this place permanently. Even if my Great Zhao ceases to exist, this land in the Western Regions will also be the territory of my Han people. ”

"By the way......" Zhao Xun suddenly remembered something, and said to Situ Liang, "The spies who have increased in the west of Gaochang Kingdom seem to be in the west of Gaochang Kingdom, and the more powerful Wusun Kingdom in the northwest of the Western Regions is also a little unstable. In any case, we need to know all their actions, especially some of the actions that are being done against us, and we need this information. ”

Situ Liang responded: "Your Majesty understands, is the Lord worried that this Wusun Congress will send troops?" We have no grudge against the Wusun Kingdom, and they are not our target now, so it stands to reason that they should not have any idea against us when we have won such a big victory. ”
