A few days later, Yu Chi Shun, the king of Khotan, personally led 20,000 soldiers and horses to the western border of Tuyuhun.

Although Wei Chishun had decided to attach himself to the Jin court and led the army to attack the western border of Tuyuhun in response to the main force of the Jin army, he did not intend to let his soldiers and horses suffer large losses.

Wei Chilan felt very dissatisfied with his father's such a passive march, and repeatedly asked to lead troops to attack Tuyuhun City, but was vetoed by Wei Chishun.

"Father, when Tuyuhun attacked me in Khotan, he broke through several cities in one day, but my father besieged a city for several days without attacking, why is this?" Yu Chilan said dissatisfiedly.

Wei Chishun frowned, and said with a straight face: "Lan'er, don't be angry, my father is also acting cautiously, now where the Jin army has arrived, we don't know at all, in case the Jin army has withdrawn, how can my 20,000 army in Khotan be the opponent of more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Tuyuhun, so we must figure out the situation in the east in order to move forward quickly, so as not to fall into a situation from which we will never recover!" ”

"No, father, the 300,000 troops of the Great Jin Dynasty will march westward, and Tuyuhun will never stop if they don't destroy it, and, according to the speed of the Jin army, at this moment, they should have begun to attack Tuyuhun, and our army is attacking eastward at this moment, which can just drag Tuyuhun back, so that it can't take care of each other, and thus suffer a crushing defeat." Yu Chilan said.

Yu Chishun smiled and said softly: "What Lan'er said is that my father believes what you say, but there are accidents in everything, and I am only a small country in Khotan, in case I completely anger Tuyuhun." Let Tuyuhun give up resisting the Jin army and go all out to attack me in Khotan, I am not in danger of losing the country in Khotan, besides. The Jin army has 300,000 soldiers and horses, and the task of exterminating the main force of Tuyuhun should have been the responsibility of the soldiers and horses of the Great Jin, and all I can do in Khotan is to lead the troops to deter the western border of Tuyuhun. Restrain Tuyuhun and make it more passive by the enemy, so that it can respond to the Jin army to a certain extent. ”

"Hmph, my father is just timid and afraid, and he doesn't have a bit of heroic spirit." Yu Chilan snorted dissatisfiedly.

Wei Chishun smiled and said softly: "Lan'er, my father knows that you are in such a hurry to attack the territory of Tuyuhun in order to join the Jin army as soon as possible. So that you can see the Northern King of the Great Jin Dynasty, you already have a crush on him, haven't you? ”

When Yu Chilan heard this, the corners of her mouth smiled, and she lowered her head and said, "What's the matter, when did my daughter say that she liked him." After speaking, his cheeks flushed slightly, and he looked extremely shy.

"Look, they're all blushing, and they don't admit it." Wei Chishun teased.

"Father." Yu Chilan snorted and said, "Ignore you, my daughter is out." After saying that, he ran out shyly.

"Haha!" Wei Chishun laughed loudly. looked at the strategist Wei Chi Le beside him, and said softly: "Brother Le, you can also see it, my precious daughter." It seems that he really fell in love with the Northern King of the Great Jin Dynasty, do you say this is a good thing or a bad thing? ”

Yu Chile is Wei Chishun's own brother, with a calm and intelligent personality, but his physique is weak, and he lacks the domineering spirit that a commander should have, so he has always followed Yu Chishun's side as a strategist.

Seeing Wei Chishun asked himself. Yu Chile said: "King, Lan'er likes the Northern King of the Great Jin, which is naturally a great thing for me in Khotan." ”

"Oh, what do you mean by that?" Wei Chishun asked curiously.

Yu Chile said: "King, with my understanding of this person, he will ascend the throne and be the emperor sooner or later, and when the time comes, he will be the lord of the Great Jin, if Princess Lan'er can be his woman and give birth to a son to him, this son will have a certain hope of being the emperor in the future, and this new emperor is the grandson of the king, and he has the blood of the king, isn't this a great thing?" ”

When Wei Chishun heard this, a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said: "You are right, Lan'er, this child is so likable, as long as she becomes the woman of the lord of the Jin Kingdom, she will definitely be able to be favored, if she can give birth to a baby boy, she will indeed have the possibility of becoming the emperor in the future!" ”

"With the assistance of the king, as long as Princess Lan'er can give birth to a baby boy in the future, she will definitely be able to find a way to let him ascend to the throne, so that the king's bloodline can rule the whole world." Yu Chile followed and responded.

"Haha! Okay, good, although I was humiliated by Khotan's annexation to the Great Jin, but if the bloodline of this king can rule the whole world, it is also very good! Wei Chishun said excitedly.

On the eastern border of Tuyuhun, more than 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Thunderstorm Legion had already broken through Diezhou City before the arrival of the main army of Tuyuhun, annihilating all the more than 1,000 Tuyuhun soldiers and horses defending the city, and defending the city to prevent the arrival of the main army of Tuyuhun.

Seeing that the Jin army's thunderstorm army had broken through the city of Diezhou, the king of Tuyuhun was greatly furious, and set up camp on the outskirts of Diezhou to discuss with the generals how to deal with the situation in front of him.

"Your Majesty, now, more than 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Jin army have broken through Diezhou City and defended the city, and our army is afraid that it will not take advantage of the forced siege of the city." A Tuyuhun general opposed the attack on the city of Diezhou.

"Yes! Your Majesty, attacking the city is not what I Tuyuhun is good at, if we attack Diezhou City, our army will definitely lose a lot of soldiers and horses, and it may not be able to break through Diezhou City. "Another Tuyuhun general opposed the attack on Diezhou City.

Broken Xi sighed, and said: "Now, the Jin army has launched an attack on my Tuyuhun with many soldiers and horses, and the soldiers and horses of Diezhou City are just one of them, so this situation is really very unfavorable to my Tuyuhun!" If our army divides its troops to resist the enemy, its strength is insufficient, and each break through and let the Jin army hide in the city, which is really a headache for this king! ”

"Report, Wang, the Jin army of the Northern Prince led 100,000 elite soldiers and horses, has arrived in Caohan City, and with the more than 30,000 Guanzhong legions in the city, and is killing in the direction where our army is located, in addition, the 100,000 troops of Song Cheng's army in Liangzhou are also attacking the northern border of our Tuyuhun." At this moment, the news of the Jin army's large-scale attack on Tuyuhun came.

When the Tuyuhun King Shaxi and his generals heard this, they were all surprised, they did not expect that Hua'an and the main army under his command would arrive in Caohan so quickly, and such a rapid marching speed was enough to prove the mobility and combat effectiveness of the Jin army's soldiers and horses.

"Your Majesty, the Jin army has nearly 300,000 soldiers and horses combined, and my Tuyuhun has only more than 100,000 soldiers from all over the country, and the disparity in strength is very large, and our army is under great pressure!" A Tuyuhun general said worriedly.

"Your Majesty. The Jin army reinforces the west from Luoyang City, and it seems that there is a great posture to destroy my Tuyuhun in one fell swoop, and the situation of my Tuyuhun is worrying! Another Tuyuhun general said worriedly.

Broken Xi lowered his head, looking extremely lonely. The Jin army was fierce, but Tuyuhun was not ready for a bloody battle with the Jin army's large-scale legions, so he had a headache about how to break the multi-way siege of the Jin army, and he could only hope that Khotan and other small countries in the Western Regions would see the face of the cold lips and teeth. Carry out the necessary reinforcements to Tuyuhun, so that the large-scale attack of the Jin army can be blocked.

"Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, the king of Khotan, Chi Shun, personally led an army of 20,000 to launch an attack on the western border of my Tuyuhun." Just when Sha Xi was very depressed, more unfavorable news came.

"What, the king of Khotan, Chi Shun, actually fell into the well and led the troops to attack my Tuyuhun. I'm really angry with this king. Broken Xi roared angrily.

"Your Majesty, if even Khotan attacks our Tuyuhun, then we will really be attacked on all sides." A Tuyuhun general, Zhengse said.

His beard was crooked, his eyes were full of murderous energy, he felt that his raid on Liangzhou was to some extent a solution to the crisis of the Western Regions, but Yu Khotan's king Wei Chishun not only did not thank him, but also launched an attack on Tuyuhun in a downhill, this kind of revenge. It is intolerable to Broken Xi.

"Your Majesty, it was originally possible for Yu Chishun to reinforce me Tuyuhun, but Yu Chilan's sudden appearance broke this possibility. As a result, Wei Chishun launched an attack on my Tuyuhun. The minister who issued the order said.

Broken Xi was stunned when she heard this, and said in shock: "Yu Chilan, wasn't she sold to the dirty land of Chang'an City?" Why did you suddenly return to Khotan, and what the hell is going on? ”

What he did to Yu Chilan, Broken Xi's heart is very clear, therefore. When he heard that Yu Chilan had returned to Khotan, he understood why Yu Chishun was attacking Tuyuhun.

"Your Majesty, how did Yu Chilan escape from Chang'an City and return to Khotan Wangcheng, we don't know, but at present, Khotan has launched an attack on the western part of my Tuyuhun, so that my Tuyuhun will be attacked by the enemy, and the situation has become extremely dangerous, and we must find a way to deal with it!" A Tuyuhun minister frowned and said.

"Your Majesty, the Jin army has mobilized so many soldiers and horses to march westward, it seems that it will not give up if it is not destroyed." A Tuyuhun courtier frowned and said.

"Your Majesty, the main force of the Jin army can reach Diezhou City within two or three days, our army is afraid that it is not an opponent, it is better to evacuate Diezhou and stick to the city in the rear."

"Your Majesty, Khotan's attack on the western part of my Tuyuhun has cut off our retreat, and we must pay attention to it."

Broken Xi frowned, sighed, and said helplessly: "It seems that the sky is going to kill me!" At such a time, Yu Chilan was allowed to return to the royal city of Khotan, and now, Khotan, on which the king pinned his hopes, not only could not become an ally, but had become my enemy of Tuyuhun. ”

"Your Majesty, the Jin army has many soldiers and horses that are difficult to resist, so it is better to send an envoy to the Jin army camp to sue for peace, promising to pay tribute every year in exchange for the survival of Tuyuhun." A Tuyuhun courtier said.

"Yes! Your Majesty, the Jin army is powerful, but I'm afraid that it is not something that I can resist, so it is safer to seek peace. Another Tuyuhun said.

Sha Xi frowned and said: "This time it was me Tuyuhun who took the initiative to attack Liangzhou in the Great Jin Dynasty, I am afraid that I may not be able to get the understanding of the Jin State to seek peace, even if the Jin State agrees to negotiate peace, I am afraid that it will put forward conditions that make it difficult for me to Tuyuhun to accept!" ”

"Your Majesty, how can you know the conditions of the Jin Kingdom without giving it a try? Weichen was willing to go to the Jin army camp to negotiate peace. A Tuyuhun courtier Mao then recommended himself.

Sha Xi nodded and agreed: "Okay, since this is the case, you will immediately go to negotiate peace, and the main army will immediately withdraw to Xiqiang City." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." And they received the command together, and they went separately to prepare.

Subsequently, Tuyuhun's courtiers went to negotiate peace with Hua'an, and Tuyuhun's main army immediately retreated to the western strong city, and guarded the city, waiting for the outcome of the peace.

Hua'an and his more than 130,000 soldiers and horses are rushing towards the direction of Diezhou City, when passing through Taoyang City, the army stopped to rest, and sent some soldiers and horses to attack Taoyang City, preparing to take Taoyang City, as a supply point for the Jin army to attack Tuyuhun.

The Tuyuhun garrison of Taoyang had only 300 men, and for this reason, as soon as the Jin army launched an attack, they opened the city gates and surrendered.

The guards of Taoyang City are Jin people, and most of the people in the city are all Jin people, so they are naturally unwilling to resist the army of the Great Jin, and surrender to the Great Jin very happily.

Hua'an was very happy to get Taoyang City easily, and sent more than 1,000 soldiers and horses to Taoyang City to completely control this city.

"Your Majesty, Tuyuhun envoys ask to see you."

Hua An was stunned when he heard this, and he was thinking in his heart, what would the Tuyuhun envoy come for at this time? However, no matter what it was for, since the envoy of Tuyuhun came, he naturally wanted to see him.

"Let him in." Hua An ordered.

Soon, the Tuyuhun envoy entered the big tent and respectfully saluted Hua'an.

"King Tuyuhun sent you here, why did you do it?" Hua An asked straight to the point.

Tuyuhun envoy hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "My king was provoked by traitors and led a large army to invade Liangzhou of the Great Jin, causing a gap between Tuyuhun and the Great Jin. ”

When Hua An heard this, he smiled and said: "Tuyuhun attacked my Liangzhou city and slaughtered my people in Liangzhou. There is no such good thing in the world. ”

When the envoy of Tuyuhun heard this, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly said: "The king of the north is angry, the king of my family is also deceived by traitors, and he is by no means deliberately attacking the Great Jin, I don't know what the king of the north thinks, what Tuyuhun has to do to make up for the mistakes made by the invasion of the Great Jin." After speaking, he looked directly at Hua'an.

The corners of Hua'an's mouth smiled slightly, and he said: "Tuyuhun must cede a hundred cities to the Great Jin, in addition, the king of Tuyuhun must personally go to Luoyang City to apologize to the Son of Heaven of the Great Jin, and also, Tuyuhun needs to surrender to the Great Jin, pay tribute every year, and allow 50,000 male soldiers of the Great Jin to garrison Tuyuhun." After speaking, he looked at the Tuyuhun envoy. (To be continued.) )
