No matter who you are, you will be arrested if you dare to break the law. Those who dare to resist the law will be killed directly.

When Liu Xing issued severe fines to several Shangshu in Bianjing City, there was a person who was not arrested for violating the law and was not killed for resisting the law, but he took 3,000 men and horses in the Western Regions, opening a new chapter in the history of the Central Plains people entering the Western Regions for the Chinese nation.

The Western Regions has been a vassal of the Central Plains Dynasty since the Han Dynasty. During the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian sent an envoy to the Western Regions, leaving behind the eternal story of "hearing the Tao and seeking the source, and returning from here". Su Wu shepherd, Wei Huo Xizheng, a "Silk Road" how many loyal bones buried in other places, in exchange for the former Han Dynasty Western Regions Protectorate of the temporary prosperity.

In the Tang Dynasty, how many love songs were sung on the Silk Road and passed all the way to Chang'an City, and the famous general Hou Junji under the command of Li Shimin, Su Dingfang, the widow of Liu Heimin, and others also left heroic war songs on the Silk Road, so that the love songs and war songs of the Western Regions played and spread endlessly......

However, whether it is the Han or the Tang Dynasty, the Western Regions has long made it clear that it is a vassal land that every powerful Central Plains dynasty will inevitably obtain. In the past, the Han Dynasty set up the Western Regions Protectorate when it was at its strongest, and the Tang Dynasty first set up Anxi and then set up the North Court.

And now Liu Xing has also determined to reconquer the Western Regions and make a new Great Song Dynasty the new master of that hot land.

It's just that Liu Xing's approach was not to learn from Han Wu and Tang Zong, and he was not prepared to directly send a large army to force himself into the Western Regions. Because of the passage of time and the fact that things are different from people, today's Western Regions is different from the situation in the past.

At this time, the Western Regions first had the defeated rebels of the Western powers enter the place, accelerating the unique development of the Western Regions. Yelu Dashi is attacking the northern frontier of the Western Regions and quickly establishing a new dynasty......

At such a time, Zhang Yang and Zhang Heizi took his 3,000 men and horses to the first stop of the way out pointed out to him by Yelu Dashi as a rebel of the Great Song Dynasty, outside the city of Khotan.

Standing far away on the sand dunes, looking at the thousand-year-old ancient city, Zhang Yang first had a strange thought in his heart.

Khotan. It is connected to Shanshan in the east, Shache and Shule in the west, and prospered for a while because it was an important base of Silk Road trade, and was the distribution center of Western trade and travel, and has always been the key point of Eastern and Western cultures.

Ban Chao of the Han Dynasty used that ancient city as a base to create the most colorful legend about the Western Regions in the history of the Later Han Dynasty.

In the Tang Dynasty, the name of "Anxi Four Towns". It is still remembered by many people in that ancient city, and many Khotanese still call themselves "Anxi Khotanese" when they go to trade in the Bianjing field of the Great Song Dynasty......

Without Wang Mingde's kind of musician, Zhang Yang can't sing high songs. Without the literary brilliance of Yang Shi, Zhao Ding and others, Zhang Yang could not write praise poems to describe his mood at this moment.

But Zhang Yang quickly strengthened his belief, laid down the thousand-year-old city in front of him, and followed Ban Chao's example of using it as the foundation place to establish a new dynasty ruled by him in the realm of the Western Regions. ，

Beliefs dominate people's decisions, and even more so, people's behaviors. After Zhang Yang strengthened such a belief, he immediately issued the order to siege the city.

The money and food of the six battalions and 3,000 soldiers and horses were all borrowed from Yelu Dashi by Zhang Yang of the Pusuwan Gang, which determined that once the soldiers who followed Zhang Yang to rebel out of the Great Song Dynasty attacked, they must all have the determination to fight to the death.

In addition, Zhang Yang brought six Shenwu cannons and 3,000 guns, and in this era, except for the golden dog, no one else has really seen its power.

And so. In just one hour, the north gate of Khotan, which claimed to have 30,000 but was actually 20,000, was broken by the flamboyant soldiers and horses.

So, as soon as Zhang Yang entered the city and saw that those Zoroastrian believers had formed a group and started a desperate street battle with his soldiers, the angry reckless man Zhang Heizi issued a cruel order: "Slaughter the Zoroastrians in the city."

So, in the next three days, the city of Khotan was turned into a sea of blood and fire by Zhang Yang and his soldiers. Within three days, the city of Khotan, which had 80,000 people, was killed by Zhang Heizi when the sound of gold and iron and the shouting of killing stopped......

He quickly captured the city of Khotan, and after slaughtering all the Zoroastrian believers in the city, he did not temporarily extinguish the army. After seizing this ancient city, which was already home to thousands of Han Chinese families for generations. Zhang Yang killed the Zoroastrian believers and went to visit the two major local Buddhist temples.

With the help of the hosts of the two Buddhist monasteries, only three more days passed. Zhang Heizi's army in Khotan miraculously and rapidly expanded to 8,000 people.

With these 8,000 people, Zhang Yang has more confidence. He divided his troops into two routes, each with 3,000 men, and quickly launched an offensive against the city of Yochang in the north of Khotan and Ya'er in the west.

Although the power of firearms has been dispersed due to the expansion of men and horses, the recruits who have grown up in the Western Regions for generations are good at riding and shooting, and are familiar with geography. After another 12 days, Zhang Yang's army easily broke through 30,000 large cities, but only 15,000 soldiers and horses defended themselves, and the city of 20,000 households was crows.

After conquering these two places, the first thing Zhang Yang's soldiers and horses did when they entered the city was to slaughter them, and it seemed that they were determined to fight against the Zoroastrian followers who were Zhang Yang to the end. Later, as soon as the two magistrates, envoys, and regimental training envoys appointed by Zhang Yang arrived in the two cities, they immediately implemented the conscription policy of Zhang Yang scraping the ground......

After two dozen days of three battles. When Liu Xing punished several Shangshu who were derelict in their duties, the secret report of Yingyang from the Military Intelligence Department on the recent situation in the Western Regions was also presented to Liu Xing.

"This Zhang Heizi, haha, I didn't misread him."

After reading the secret report in his hand, Liu Xing threw the secret report on the table, laughed and said, "In just one month." The boy set up his own door with 3,000 men, but it quickly grew to 40,000. Haha, if he continues to develop at this rate, it is estimated that in another month, Yelu Dashi will only be able to look at his face in the future! ”

"Taifu, Zhang Heizi rebelled for the second time, why don't you seem to be angry at all, but you seem to have some appreciation?" Su Quan, who was sitting on the chair next to the big case and had just been "willingly" punished with Yulu and rice grain, saw Liu Xing's performance, and immediately asked in confusion.

Answering the question, Liu Xing heard his question, but stared at him with a strange smile and said, "Su Quan, do you want to legally subsidize the money and food you were confiscated?" ”

Hearing this, Su Quan was stunned at first, and then said: "As long as you don't break the law and be punished by the Taifu again, of course you want to." ”

Just been punished for half a year, he can only support his family by being a housekeeper for Liu Xing, Su Quan suddenly heard that there is a legal opportunity to make money, where will he let it go, he almost without thinking about it and said "Of course I want to". (To be continued.) )
