Chapter 1128: The Sassanid Dynasty
Hua An thought for a moment, and said: "Lianyunbao is a military powerhouse, it is inevitable to be boring, as long as it is rotated once a year, the soldiers stationed in it will not be boring for too long, and not far from Lianyunbao is Bole City, and the soldiers in the fort can take turns to visit Bole City, so naturally they will not feel too boring."

When Wei Chilan heard this, she nodded in approval, and said: "What the king said is that next to Bole City is Bole City, and the soldiers are bored, they can go to Bole City to play, which is a very good idea, so it seems that the life of the soldiers is still very good, but don't worry." ”
Hua An said with a smile: "Princess Lan'er is really considerate of the soldiers, she can actually think that the soldiers will be boring and boring in Lianyun Castle, this king has never thought of this." ”
"The king is a big hero in the world, and he thinks about military affairs, so naturally he won't pay attention to these small things." Yu Chilan smiled and complimented him in a low voice.
Being complimented by Yu Chilan like this, Hua An was in a good mood, stretched out his hand to hold Yu Chilan, put his mouth on Yu Chilan's ear, and said softly: "In fact, this king is not thinking about military affairs all the time, for example, now, what this king is thinking about is not military affairs, Lan'er can guess, what is this king thinking about now?" After speaking, he threw a look at Yu Chilan.
Yu Chi Lan smiled, lowered his head and said shyly: "The king is good or bad, he is fighting Lan'er's idea again." ”
Hua An smiled indifferently and said softly: "Congratulations to Princess Lan'er for guessing correctly, this king is indeed fighting Lan'er's idea, who made Princess Lan'er the goddess in the king's mind?" After speaking, his eyes looked directly at Yu Chilan's eyes.
Yu Chilan twisted the head of the mantis away and whispered, "Your Majesty, is there anyone behind?" ”
Hua An didn't look back, and said softly: "It's all the king's personal soldiers, it's not in the way, come on!" ”
"Hmm." Yu Chilan answered and fell into Hua An's arms.
Early in the morning of the second day, Hua An personally led the main army to leave Bole City, continued to march westward, and arrived at the outskirts of Humiwang City more than ten days later.
At this time, in order to obtain various military supplies, the Tuyuhun army has successively robbed dozens of villages in the Honey Protection Country, but the Honey Protection Country has limited soldiers and horses, and it does not dare to leave the royal city to attack the Tuyuhun army.
The arrival of the Jin army made the Tuyuhun soldiers and horses immediately give up continuing to rob, and continued to flee to the west as fast as possible.
Protecting the honey country did not know the intentions of the Jin army, so he was so frightened that he closed the city gate and prepared to defend it to the death.
"Your Majesty, the Honey Protector intends to resist the king's division, whether to launch an attack." Wang San Zhengse asked.
Hua An waved his hand and said softly: "The Honey Protector Kingdom has just been robbed by the Tuyuhun army, and I don't know much about my Great Jin army, so let's persuade me to surrender first!" Tell the King of Protector that the intentions and policies of my Great Jin Dynasty, if he refuses to open the city and surrender, then the day the city is broken will be his death. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." One of his subordinates received the order and immediately rode his horse to the city of the Honey Protector.
There are seventy or eighty thousand soldiers and horses in the Jin army, and the army is at its peak, when the king of honey sees all this in the city, he has long been frightened and chills down his spine, he understands very well that with the soldiers and horses of the country of protecting honey in the city, it is impossible to defend the city of the king of honey no matter what, and at this moment the Jin army sent a person to persuade him to surrender, so that the king of honey saw a glimmer of hope.
After some exchanges, the Honey Protector agreed to Hua'an's conditions, immediately attached himself to the Jin court, and opened the city gate to allow some of the Jin army's soldiers and horses to enter the city.
Hua An was very happy about the current affairs of the Honey Protector King, and after entering the Honey Protector King City, he praised the Honey Protector King, and assured the Honey Protector that belonging to the Great Jin Dynasty was absolutely only good and no bad for the Honey Protector Kingdom, and it was an absolutely wise choice to belong to the Great Jin Dynasty.
After being familiar with the policies of the Great Jin Dynasty, the King of Honey Protection was also a lot more relieved, and the soldiers of the Jin Army who entered the city did not commit any crimes against the common people, and there was no violation of the people, which made the King of Honey very relieved.
"The Great Jin is powerful, but it can treat people benevolently and righteously, it is really commendable, Xiao Wang can be sure that more than 20 countries of Tocharian will willingly belong to the Great Jin." The Honey Protector King bowed and said.
Hua An smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth, looked at the Honey Protector King, and said softly: "If this is the case, it would be the best, can the Honey Protector King work hard and help this king persuade the Tocharian kingdoms to join the Great Jin, after the matter is completed, this king will not treat the king badly, how about it?" ”
The Honey Protector King thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Since the Northern King has made such a request, Xiao Wang should go all out to persuade all countries to join the Great Jin, and the Northern King can wait for good news." ”
"Okay, this king is waiting for good news in the royal city, and the king of honey is bold to persuade him." Hua An happily responded.
Subsequently, the king ordered all the ministers under his command to go to the Tocharian countries to persuade the kings of each country to join the court of the Great Jin Dynasty and become the courtiers of the Great Jin.
A few days later, the ministers of the Honey Protector Kingdom returned to the Honey Protector City one after another, and reported the results of their persuasion to the Honey Protector King, and the result was naturally not expected by the Honey Protector King, and all the Tocharian kingdoms agreed to attach themselves to the Great Jin Dynasty in order to obtain the local protection of the Great Jin Dynasty.
It's no wonder that the forces of the Tocharian countries are very weak, even if they are all united, they are definitely not the opponent of the 70,000 or 80,000 main army of the Great Jin, and the annexation of the Great Jin can be said to be their only way out, besides, the conditions of attachment given by the Great Jin are very reasonable, at least much more reasonable than the conditions given by the Sassanid Dynasty, and they can accept them willingly.
The Honey Protector King was very happy and hurriedly told Hua'an the good news.
Knowing that all the Tocharian states were willing to belong to the Great Jin court, Hua An showed a satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth, and immediately issued an order to let some of his soldiers and horses be stationed in several strategic places in Tocharian to achieve a comprehensive military occupation of Tocharo, so that the Tocharian states have no chance to regret it.
A few days later, Hua'an achieved a complete occupation of Tocharo, and there was no mistake, and the Tocharian states had empty troops and horses, but they did not dare to disobey the Jin army, which shows their weakness.
"Your Majesty, now that Tocharian has been fully recovered by our Great Jin, will our army immediately march to the Khorasan region next?" Wang San looked at Hua An and asked softly.
Hua An thought for a moment and said softly: "General Song took the north road to the west, and I don't know what the situation is, this king is very worried in his heart, so let's wait for the news of the north road before making plans!" In addition, a detachment of troops and horses was sent north to respond to General Song. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang San nodded in response.
In fact, Song Cheng's army marched to the north, and the road was much smoother than the south road, but there were Xiongnu and other fierce national armies on the north road, Song Cheng led his army to fight with them, and completely defeated them, but it also delayed the speed of the march, and the time to enter the north of Tocharian was much slower than Hua'an, until Hua'an occupied Tocharo, Song Cheng's army had just entered the Pearl River Valley, and conquered the nearby small countries by force, and took the strategic cities of these small countries as their own.
Song Cheng's corps continued westward along the Pearl River, and joined up with the northward corps sent by Hua'an near Boxi Mountain, and continued to march south.
"Your Majesty, General Song's soldiers and horses have arrived north of Tocharo and are marching here." A scout immediately told Huaan about this important news.
Knowing that Song Cheng's army was about to arrive, Hua An was very happy, and hurriedly said: "When General Song's main force and horses converge with our army, we can continue to march west." ”
Wang San nodded lightly, looked at Hua An, and whispered: "Your Majesty, according to the scout's investigation, the Persian Empire at this time is very powerful!" Its king Shapur II was not born to be called the king, the crown was worn on his mother's belly, this person is even more powerful when he became an adult, has conquered many small countries, before the arrival of my Great Jin Dynasty, all the Tocharian countries are vassals to Persia, but because Persia needs to fight with the Great Qin Empire in the west, so, there is no deployment of troops and horses in Tocharo, Persia is only afraid of no less than 200,000 soldiers, the strength is really not weak! ”
Hua'an naturally knows that the Persian Empire at this time is in the last dynasty, the Sassanid Dynasty, and their king at this moment is the most wise and great Shapur II of the Sassanid Dynasty, this person is an outstanding politician and military strategist, since he was in power, he has carried out a number of powerful reforms, adjusted foreign relations, and soon made the Persian Empire extremely powerful, it can even be said that in the entire Persian Empire, no country can defeat Persia, only the Western Great Qin Empire still has the strength to compete with Persia.
"You're right, the Persian Empire is indeed very powerful, and Shapur II is also a wise monarch, but no matter how powerful Persia is, how can it be compared to the Great Jin? In front of the Great Jin Dynasty, Persia can only be weak, besides, my Great Jin has recovered Tocharo, even if we don't go to Shapur II for trouble, Shapur II will come to find our Jin army's bad luck! Hua An said meaningfully.
Wang San nodded and said softly: "Tocharian and the Hezhong region must leave soldiers and horses to garrison, and the soldiers and horses that our army can use to march into the Khorasan region are only 120,000 at most, and the pressure is still very great." ”
Hua An smiled indifferently and said confidently: "120,000 soldiers and horses are enough to attack the Khorasan region, don't worry!" ”
Obviously, Hua An was not afraid of the Persian Sassanid army in the slightest, because he was very confident in the Great Jin Heroes under his command, and felt that he would definitely be able to defeat the elite Persian army under the command of Shapur II.
Soon, the 60,000 main army of Song Cheng's army arrived in Tocharian territory and merged with the main army under Hua'an.
After gathering 120,000 troops and horses, Hua'an immediately marched from Tocharian to the Khorasan region, the core of the Persian Empire.
####
In Ctesiphon, the capital of the Sassanid Empire in Persia, Shapur II of Persia was extremely angry, and the Jin army suddenly entered the Persian vassal Tocharian region without warning and completely conquered Tochar, which was a great shame for the Persian Empire, after all, since Shapur II ascended the throne, no army of any country dared to provoke the Persian Empire so much.
"Your Majesty, the Great Jin Empire's unprovoked and complete appropriation of the Tocharian region for itself is a serious provocation to our Sassanid Dynasty, and we absolutely cannot tolerate such a thing." The Persian general Pratt said angrily.
Shapur II gasped and said loudly: "Pratt, you immediately transfer the 100,000 soldiers and horses of Ctesiphon to Mulu City, and the 60,000 soldiers and horses in the Khorasan region are also transferred to Mulu City, and the Jin Kingdom has captured Tocharian for no reason, I, Shapur II, must not swallow this breath, and must teach the Jin Empire a lesson." ”
"Your Majesty, rest assured, I, Pratt, will definitely teach the Jin army a hard lesson, so that the Jin army will know the fate of offending my Sassanid Dynasty." The Persian general Pratt replied rudely.
Subsequently, the Persian general Pratt transferred all the 100,000 elite soldiers and horses of the capital Ctesiphon to Mulu City in the easternmost part of Khorasan, and let the rest of the cities in Khorasan also transfer troops and horses to Mulu City, he planned to concentrate all the soldiers and horses in Mulu City, and then use Mulu City as a base to attack the Jin army.
Of course, Pratt would never have imagined that the Jin army had already left the Tocharian region at this time and was rapidly advancing in the direction of Mulu City, marching much faster than the speed at which they could deploy their troops and horses.
When all the 60,000 troops in the Khorasan region arrived at Mulu City, Hua'an and his 120,000 soldiers and horses had also approached Mulu City, and Pratt and his 100,000 elite Persian troops were still hundreds of miles away.
Seeing that the Jin army was strong, the 60,000 Persian army did not dare to attack rashly, so they all entered the city, preparing to rely on the city to defend and wait for the 100,000 elite reinforcements in the rear.
"Your Majesty, the city ahead is the easternmost city of Mulu in Khorasan, and according to the scouts, there are 60,000 Persian troops in the city, half of our army." Wang San Zhengse said.
Hua An nodded and said softly: "60,000 Persian troops, if our army eats them all in one bite, what will Shapur II do when he finds out?" ”
"Your Majesty, if our army eats its 60,000 troops in a battle, Shapur II will definitely be scared and weak, haha!" A Jin army general said loudly.
"Your Majesty, as long as our army surrounds the city of Mulu and launches a thunderbolt offensive from all sides, the Persian army will have no way to escape." Another Jin army general said loudly.
Hua An nodded with a smile, and said: "This battle is the first battle between our army and the Persian army, we must play the prestige of my Great Jin King Division, even if we can't wipe out the 60,000 Persian army, at least we must annihilate most of it." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." The generals of the Jin army responded loudly.
Seeing that the generals were full of fighting spirit, Hua An nodded with satisfaction, and officially issued an order to let the 120,000 troops under his command fully surround Mulu City, among them, Hua An personally led 60,000 main forces to attack the east gate, and the 60,000 troops of Song Cheng's army divided into three ways, respectively, surrounded the remaining three city gates, and blocked the city gate with a strong bow and crossbow.
