787 The feeling of being calculated

A small jungle country with a long history has vanished in an hour.

"Your Royal Highness, the war is over." A Wusun general reported to Mitian.

Mi Tian had a frosty face, nodded slightly, and asked, "How far is this from the Peerless Country?" Is there any news from Yue's side? ”

Mitian has been brewing for several years for the rise of Wusun, and it can be said that it is this moment that he has been waiting for, so he used all the resources he could use, not only trained the army himself, but also won over the generals of the Wusun border guards, and also connected the Kushan Empire.

Before Mitian sent troops, it had been agreed with the Kushan Empire that the two armies would jointly attack Shache, and after taking Shache, Wusun and the Yueshi would divide the hegemony of the Western Regions with the Leng Ling River as the boundary, and the west of the Congling River would be directly controlled by the Yue Empire, and the east of the Leng Ling River would be the Wusun sphere of influence.

Mitian wants to build Wusun into the Heavenly Empire of the Western Regions.

A civil official stood up, the civil official was originally an imperial doctor, and he also acted as a diplomat in private, and the secret alliance with the Kushan Empire was sent by him, and the civil official replied: "There is no news from the Yue Empire, but this is only because of our march, and their messengers can't find us at all."

However, His Royal Highness the prince can rest assured that the Yue Empire will definitely send troops, although the Yue Empire has been gradually corrupted like our upper echelons of Wusun in recent times, but there are still a group of generals who are dedicated to the country, and they hope that the Yue Empire will rise again.

The Yue Clan Empire does not want to fight a large number of forces, and there are a large number of people who advocate putting the main forces on the west to defend the Rest Empire, but this time those loyal generals of the Yue Clan did not compromise with these people, because they knew that this was their Yue Clan's last chance to rise.

If the Yue Clan does not have another military expansion, the Yue Empire can only be destroyed. Therefore, the Yueshi will definitely send troops this time.

As for the time. Even if the Yue Empire sends troops at the same time as us. They will go over the green mountains and cross the desert, and they will be farther than us.

But this shouldn't matter, two hundred miles further south is the country of refinement, if the Shache army attacking Loulan wants to come back, it must take the route of Loulan to the end, and the end to the essence, and the essence to the Shache.

We have 30,000 people here. It is really easy to stop the Shache army, and when the Kushan army arrives and unites with our army, Shache will not be able to return to the sky. ”

Prince Mitian nodded: "Very good, tell the rear team to clean up and call Xiangguo, and the front army will march quickly." ”

"Yes."

The Wusun soldiers marched quickly through the jungle and swooped down on the Elite Kingdom in the south.

…………

Liu Zhang led the army to the south, and the further south it went, the hotter it became, not only because the climate entered the summer. The region is also getting drier, and there is a general pattern of climate in the Western Regions. North of the Tien Shan Mountains, the further north the desert, and the south of the Tien Shan Mountains, the farther south the more desert.

Although this is not an iron law, but there is a certain truth, at least the path Liu Zhang is taking now is that the soil erosion in the Western Regions has not yet reached a very serious level, and many places are not deserts, but only semi-desert areas, but even so, Liu Zhang still feels that he can't stand it.

The rattan armor army is better, the rattan armor of the vine armor army is thick, but the rattan armor army is from the south, they are only afraid of cold and not afraid of heat, and the cavalry led by Su Lan is uncomfortable, these cavalry are elite, but they are basically from the bitter cold Xiliang, where they have experienced such heat.

The soldiers of the Xiliang Army consumed a lot of water, and the people fed the horses, fortunately it was a hard-working Mongolian bantam horse, and fortunately the place where they walked was not a complete desert, otherwise the cavalry would definitely not be able to pass.

Liu Zhang now finally knows that when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked Dawan for a BMW, and finally defeated Dawan, after Dawan gave a BMW, why did he die four-fifths in the middle, don't look at the sweat and blood BMW is faster than bantam horses, grow stronger, and endurance is far inferior to bantam horses.

Liu Zhang had been marching with the army for almost half a month, and just when the cavalry was about to collapse, news came from the spies in front.

"Report to the lord, we asked the natives in front, and the distance between here and the end is less than a hundred miles."

Everyone showed joy, Liu Zhang also breathed a sigh of relief, if you go further, Su Lan's cavalry will definitely all fall ill, in such a place is not adaptable, it is not so easy to cure, it may wait for the Shache army to come back to help, the cavalry's combat strength can not be restored.

But at this moment, on a desolate hill behind the Sichuan army, a voice appeared, and a man riding a camel galloped towards this side.

A camel soldier must not pose a threat to the army, everyone looked at it curiously, the camel rider galloped straight towards the Sichuan army, Liu Zhang frowned, this must be something, otherwise in this place, there would not be a person who inexplicably drilled into an army.

The rider came from behind, and Liu Zhang had a bad premonition for some reason. When the rider approached, Liu Zhang's bad premonition turned into reality, and Liu Zhang saw the camel rider's face clearly, and this rider turned out to be the elder of the Eastern Night Kingdom, the elder who served as the captain with Huan Yao.

"Something happened in the rear." Liu Zhang had to come up with this idea.

"General Liu, General Liu, I can be considered to have found ...... You...... Finish. ”

The elder had just galloped within ten meters when he suddenly fell from the hump, and the camel had apparently been galloping for ten days, and as soon as the knight fell, his front hooves immediately knelt down and gasped for breath.

The elder rolled to the ground and fainted directly, several people from the Sichuan army hurriedly stepped forward, the military doctor applied acupuncture, and poured a few mouthfuls of water, and finally let the elder open his eyes, and shouted in a weak and hurried voice: "General, it's not good, the former country Yelong rebelled Gao, Princess Yao was arrested, Captain Dewey was killed, and now the Cheshi army is attacking Gaochang, the general is coming back quickly...... Aid ......"

"Ye Long rebelled? How many soldiers did he have in his hands to rebel? Liu Zhang asked in disbelief, but after the elder finished speaking, he could no longer lose his strength and closed his eyes, and the military doctor stood up and said, "My lord, he has died of dehydration." ”

Liu Zhang clenched his fists, although Ye Long's performance was very realistic, but Liu Zhang didn't think that Ye Long might be acting, but he couldn't be sure, when Ye Long was made the king of Cheshi Country, Ye Long only had a palace guard of two hundred people, and he was accused of betraying the seal, he wanted to rebel, what did he take to rebel?

But now it's obviously useless to think about this, what he thought was foolproof must have a loophole, Liu Zhang admired Ye Long's performance ability a little, and when he came to report to himself that night to boil the seal and rebel, he first said that he still remembered the kindness of the boil seal, and then said that he had been unwilling to betray the boil seal.

also said that he felt guilty after betraying and boiling, and he didn't want to be an official.

This series of words and deeds really doesn't look like a villain.

But Liu Zhang didn't expect this Ye Long to be so able to grasp the psychology, he must have seen that Liu Zhang didn't like the kind of person who betrayed the master, and deliberately said that he was still grateful to the boil, which dispelled his doubts.

It's all about it.

I'm afraid that at that time, Ye Long was already preparing to rebel in the future, and he had also figured out how to rebel.

As a Han Chinese, he was appointed to a major position, and he betrayed the Han at this juncture, Liu Zhang vowed to divide Ye Long's five horses.

"Husband, what should we do?" Xiao Furong asked.

"Return." Liu Zhang said in a deep voice, this is not only related to the Wuji Captain's Department, but also related to the continuity of his own policy, if the Wuji Captain's Department is established, it will be rebelled and destroyed by De Yelong, then the Western Regions policy he has set will be useless.

This will affect the Tianshui Protectorate in the north, and it will also be seriously detrimental to the establishment of other Protectorates in the future, Ye Long is simply provoking the majesty of the Great Han.

Wuji's lieutenant department, policy continuity, and that black wood forest are all enough for Liu Zhang to come back to help.

"Ahh Su Lan was the first to speak, she could already understand Chinese, her face showed a bitter color, she was nothing, she was not much different from the Western Regions in the climate of rest, she also fought a lot, and she could stand the long march in the semi-desert.

But what about those Xiliang cavalry under his command, when did they suffer such a crime one by one, if these strong Xiliang soldiers were allowed to choose, they would rather kill a thousand against five thousand enemies than go to this arid area.

The current Xiliang Xiao cavalry is worse than a sheep, and it is difficult to fight in place, let alone travel long distances back to the military chariot division.

The same is true for other armies, in fact, any army, after a long journey of more than ten days, is still in such hot weather, it is impossible to return for more than ten days, and no army can have this endurance.

Liu Zhang already planned to take a good rest at the end of the war, and estimated that when the Shache army returned to help, the combat strength of the Sichuan army should be almost recovered, so that the Shache army could be defeated in a pinch.

At this time, how can the military force be able to attack the car division.

"This is Ye Long's calculation." Liu Zhang said, this person's wisdom is really not ordinarily simple, and he actually divides the time with his own situation, it seems that there are also masters in the Western Regions, but it is a pity that this master actually stands on the opposite side of the Han.

"Husband, no matter what, we can't march again, and if we march again, the whole army will be annihilated, so let's take it and end it."

Xiao Furong didn't know too much about strategy, but she only knew that her husband wanted to go back to attack the car division, but Xiao Furong had been leading the army for a day or two, and the soldiers were not robots, so how could they drive at will.

"Senior sister is right, and we don't have much food." Qu Lingchen stepped forward and said, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, it is impossible to rely on logistics and supplies for the march in the Western Regions, so Liu Zhang's army all brought their own rations, soldiers carried some on their backs, and camels and horses carried some.

But these grains are all counted in time, Liu Zhang estimated the time to take and the end, and it is also the amount of rations, and it was originally planned to be supplied at the end of the year, but if you return to attack the car division now, not to mention the soldiers' physical strength, where will the food come from?

Liu Zhang let out a sigh of relief, very unwilling, this feeling of being calculated is very uncomfortable, and now Liu Zhang thinks of Huang Yueying, although he has led troops for many years, many of the common sense of leading soldiers and the use of people have matured, but when he encounters a real master of wisdom like Ye Long, he is still not an opponent.
