Chapter 279 Millions of Heroes Conquer the Western Regions (4.1K)

On February [-], the dragon looked up.

Today is the day to go to the Western Regions, the sky is clear and there is no rain, which is a good thing for today.

This time Huo Shan didn't run away anymore, because Liu Zheng was by his side.

All the feathers and tigers gathered together, and the entire Chang'an city gathered together. The expedition ceremony was being held in the north of Chang'an, and it was almost coming to an end at this time.

This expedition did not directly go to the Western Regions, Huo Shan had to go to the Qiang land to gather the Qiang soldiers.

Huo Shan stood at the front in military uniform, and Wei Qing held the military flag with a smile on his face:

"Congratulations, Triumph!"

Huo Shan took the military flag and handed it to the soldiers, who set up the Han military flag.

Huo Shan nodded to Wei Qing, then got on his horse, took off his spear and pointed at the sky, roaring angrily:
"Triumph!"

The six thousand soldiers of the Habayashi Army and the Huben Army behind them echoed in unison:

"Triumph!"

All the people present shouted loudly:

"Triumph!!!"

Habayashi Huben stopped after shouting three times, but the people didn't stop.

Huo Shan glanced at Liu Che and the others, then looked to the northwest:
"set off!"

Huo Shan set off in the direction of the horse, followed by [-] soldiers, rumbled towards the west, and the people stopped when they could no longer see the trace of the army.

Then we went back to Chang'an talking excitedly.

When Huo Shan led Yu Lin Hu Ben to run for thirty miles, he slowed down because there was a group of people waiting for them in front.

They are artisans accompanying the army, the number is 400, and they are all young men in their 30s and 40s to strong men in their [-]s and [-]s.

Although the older the craftsman, the better their skills, but in the military, why should they be so good.

And with those old men, Huo Shan was afraid that they would be tormented to death along the way, especially Huo Shan's marching, his weak constitution could not support him, let alone an old man.

As for the number of people, [-] is the number of people in Chang'an. Along the way, craftsmen from various counties will join the team.

After the Huns and the Huns have gathered from them, there are still craftsmen from various groups in the north. The total number of craftsmen should be around a thousand.

In addition to craftsmen, there are also various special talents, but there are not many guides. Huo Shan only brought 20 people from Shaofu.

The big men in the Western Regions are not familiar with it, and a large number of guides need to go to Dunhuang to gather them.

There are others such as grooms, there is no such thing at all, the horses are self-supporting, and the Xiongnu and Qiang people are the same.

So after all the calculations, there are the most craftsmen.

I don't know if the general school is considered a special talent, it should be.

There were quite a few generals, and Huo Shan summoned a total of sixty, all capable generals from Guanzhong, Beidi and Northwest.

These people are a big advantage of the big man, it's a pity not to let it go, Huo Shan is going to carry forward the advantage of Li Guangli's second expedition to Dawan.

If the Xiongnu and Qiang people are combined, there are a total of 9 people. These 200 generals and schools have about [-] people under each person.

Because his plan is [-] for the Xiongnu, [-] for Huangzhong, and the three schools of the Northern Army to be integrated into it. These soldiers and horses are the soldiers that the generals need to lead.

She Sheng was Huo Shan's central army, also a special warfare brigade, and Huo Shan needed to send them out from time to time.

As for the [-] soldiers and horses of the Qiang people, Huo Shan basically planned to free them up and let them become independent.

These people are difficult to control, it is better to let them be independent, but a few people have to be sent over to get credit.

The other Xiongnu and Huangzhong are easier, and with the support of the Northern Army, there will be no problems.

As for the relocation of 20 military households, and the subsequent logistics and materials, Huo Shan doesn't need to worry too much.

20 military households, that's Lu Bode's business, logistics and materials, that's Wang Wei's business.

However, compared with such a large-scale expedition, the logistics materials are really scarce, and the main ones are foreigners, and the cattle and sheep can be rushed.

Therefore, it is surprising that there are many cattle, sheep and horses.

As for the logistics of the [-] troops, Zhong Gan was also in charge. He only needed to lead the troops to fight well.

Therefore, the difficulty for him to lead one hundred thousand soldiers and horses to the expedition was greatly reduced.

This wave is called Millions of Heroes Conquering the Western Regions!

It is true that there are a million people, 20 military households, although Huo Shan has not yet obtained the specific number, but at least more than 85.

Adding [-] soldiers and horses, and [-] Huns and their families, that is really more than a million people.

However, among the million people who actually participated in the expedition, there were at most about 15 people, and the rest were in the village, including the family members of the Xiongnu Yicong, and they would also stay with the military households.

But if the Xiongnu and the Western Regions unite to attack, all these millions of people will need to participate.

This wave, if you don't beat him to a huge victory and expand his land thousands of miles, you will be sorry for the effort.

Cough, of course, there is no need to actually control it, half control and half name is enough, and it can be included in my Chinese territory since ancient times.

.........

"Tian Qianqiu."

Huo Shan roared behind him.

"The minister is here."

Tian Qianqiu immediately ran over on the horse.

Huo Shan stretched his arms, raised his whip, and said vigorously:
"Go, draw up an imperial edict, send it to Xu Ziwei, and ask him to give orders to the Qiang tribes, saying that I will arrive in the Qiang land in mid-February.

Let them discuss with each other, draw me an army of [-] and five months of food and grass to accompany the army, and go to the Western Regions with me. Let's go grab gold, destroy the country, and seize horses. "

"promise."

Tian Qianqiu went down to draw up orders, and Liu Ju who was beside him laughed and said:
"The food and grass for these five months may make them feel distressed for a while."

Huo Shan chuckled:
"That's natural, but they will be very willing."

Liu Ju watched Huo Shan for a while, then suddenly said:

"Because a hundred battles are victorious?"

Huo Tan held his head up:

"Because a hundred battles are victorious."

As for why the order was given to Xu Ziwei, he was the governor of the Qiang region. Whenever the diplomats set off, he went to take office together, and so did Han Zeng.

As for the diplomats...

"Zhang Anshi, those envoys, where do you think they are?"

Zhang Anshi pinched his fingers and calculated:
"Back to the governor, I'm afraid I've already arrived in Hexi."

Huo Shan nodded, he also estimated this way, their progress was almost just right.

Huo Shan needs to reach the Qiang land in the middle of February, take the craftsmen with him, walk slowly, and then set off after pulling up an army in the Qiang land.

At the beginning of March, they will meet up with Xiongnuyi from there, and in the next two months, they will arrive in Dunhuang one after another.

The 20 military households cannot be ignored, they must be guarded by cavalry, and the migration is very slow, maybe two months is not enough.

After arriving in Dunhuang, the army still needs to stay for a while to give the military households time to prepare and set up some defenses.

Huo Shan's bottom line is that he must start his expedition at the beginning of August. In the two months of August and September, he marched all the way and frightened him all the way. Maybe he could fight a few more battles.

Then arrive in Dawan at the end of September, and leave enough time for two months in October and November to destroy Dawan.

He must be destroyed. Surrendering to him will not work. It depends on whether I accept it or not. The country must be destroyed. People, it depends on the situation.

Afterwards, he stayed in Dawan for a whole winter, and in the coming year, he will start the establishment of the Governor's Mansion of the Western Regions and deal with the relationship between the countries.

What should be wooed, what should be protected should be protected, what should be supported should be supported, and of course, what should be eliminated should also be eliminated.

Anyway, it is necessary to deeply engrave the imprint of the big man on this land of the Western Regions.

Huo Shan's [-] troops are the sharpest spears, stirring up wind and rain, life and death.

And the 20 military households managed by Lu Bode are the hardest shield to resist the Huns, confront the Huns, and there will be countries in the Western Regions that are very unlikely to appear.

Maybe, just like in history, they can start a farming competition with the Huns.

They first established on the western and northern outskirts of Dunhuang, and then after Huo Shan won the victory, they would move forward and take root. This distance depends on the actual situation, but it will not be too far.

The diplomats Huo Shan sent out were tentacles that had been planted in advance, his mouth and ears.

According to their speed, they can enter the Western Regions in early March, and they can contact the countries of the Western Regions at the end of May and early June.

The final date of Huo Shan's expedition was set in August, just to give them enough time to prepare.

They also brought the pigeons that Huo Shan had been petting for several years, and they also brought forty eagle slaves with them.

And let the pigeons get familiar with the route along the way, plus training, it is bound to delay a lot of time.

There is no way, the Western Regions are too vast, and the vast land and sparse population are not enough to describe this place.

Although the pigeons can come in handy, they still can't make it to the big scene, and now we can only let them play in advance.

It doesn't matter if it doesn't work, it still needs to be dispatched urgently at eight hundred miles, and if the pigeons can be used, the information will be easier.

In fact, to be honest, Huo Shan really hoped that there was something wrong with these diplomats, and he didn't know if there was something wrong with himself.

As long as these diplomats have a problem, no matter what the problem is, then Huo Shan will have an excuse.

Of course, it’s better not to have problems in a large area, but only a small part. If all the countries in the Western Regions are wiped out, then the problem will be big and cannot be controlled!
Of course, these are just some of his little desires, it's better not to cause problems, these are all outstanding talents of my big man.

Annihilation of Dawan in the Western Regions is enough to deter them, and it is enough to deal with a few others who are obedient and obedient.

We need to make them feel powerful, but not too domineering, lest the pressure be too great and make them explode again.

.........

On February [-]th, Huo Shan had already arrived in Qiang City for several days.

And today is the day to meet the leaders of the Qiang people.

"We will meet the champion."

Huo Shan listened to these very skillful words, and couldn't help looking at Xu Ziwei, who was next to him and smiled:
"Learning Chinese is their own plan. As for the reason, they probably heard it from somewhere. It is said that the champion likes to speak Chinese, wear Han clothes, and learn from foreigners of Chinese culture."

Huo Shan raised his eyebrows and looked at Xu Ziwei.

Xu Ziwei thought that Huo Shan suspected that he had spread the word, so he waved his hands repeatedly:

"It's not really me."

"I know it's not you, because I let people spread the word."

Xu Ziwei was a little astonished, and the corners of Huo Shan's mouth rose slightly:

"what happened?"

"It's okay, it's fine, it's fine."

"Then how is their Chinese learning?"

Xu Ziwei pouted:

"It's only been a few days of learning, how good it can be, but what they said just now is very good. With my eyes closed, I thought they were from the Guanzhong."

Huo Shan shook his head with a smile, learning Chinese culture is a good thing, no matter what the purpose and process are, the result is always good for them.

These Qiang leaders couldn't wait for Huo Shan's reply for a long time, and their waists were a little sore, so Huo Shan said:
"Be flat!"

Only then did the Qiang leader straighten up.

Huo Shan looked around them and asked:
"How is the call of soldiers and horses going?"

"Back to Champion Hou, the [-] bravest sons and daughters have all been summoned, and we are waiting for Champion Hou's order, but..."

Huo Shan smiled after listening to the translation, and even played tricks on me:

"But what?"

"However, isn't [-] a little short? Another [-], we can do it."

After Fengyang Qiang leader finished speaking, the other Qiang leaders nodded again and again.

Huo Shan curled his lips, your thinking is really beautiful:

"Twenty thousand is enough, and there will be another ten thousand in Huangzhong. I have ten thousand, and there are sixty thousand Xiongnu rebels in Hexi. To fight a Western Region, one hundred thousand cavalry, I feel that is too much."

When the leader of the Qiang people heard the number of [-] cavalry, he couldn't help being speechless in his heart, there are so many!
Only [-] soldiers and horses of the big man were sent out, and [-] soldiers and horses of foreign races were transferred directly. Although they were also part of it, they had a clearer understanding of the strength of the big man.

And the admiration for Huo Shan and that trace of admiration increased a bit.

After all, with only [-] soldiers and horses from the headquarters, plus [-] soldiers from other races, they dare to directly attack other lands and destroy a big country across thousands of miles.

Who would dare to do such an outrageous thing? They thought that only Champion Hou could do this.

The point is that there are [-] headquarters and [-] aliens. Even if Huo Shan only brought [-] headquarters to do this, they would not be so surprised.

Huo Shan looked at the leader of Huangzhong:

"What happened to the ten thousand in Huangzhong?"

"It's all assembled."

"Well, that's good, you don't want to go this time, the Qiang land will be overhauled during this period, and you will lead the sons and daughters of the tribe to develop well."

"Ah."

The leader of Huangzhong nodded naively, and you can do whatever you say.

"Zhao Ponu."

"The end is here."

"You lead Changshui School into Huangzhong, and then you lead [-] Huangzhong to administer [-] soldiers and horses, with Captain Changshui as your deputy.

There are also Li Guangli and Cao Zong, take them with you, let's just leave it at that, and I'll give you a specific division of responsibilities when we get to Hexi.

Put another ten generals under your command. They are all talented people, and they are the mainstay of my great man.

However, they are not familiar with my methods of using troops and my style of conduct. You will teach them well in the next few months.

You should also learn more from Huang Middle School, and I will help you plan later on how to make good use of these Qiang people. "

"The last general takes orders."

Although Huo Shan of the Qiang people wants to go out independently, he still has to send some people to watch them.

And if there is no accident, the Qiang people will make great contributions, and send a few people to get the credit.

Xu Ziwei and Han Zeng looked at Zhao Ponu enviously, they couldn't go!

Huo Shan turned his attention to the Qiang leaders again:
"Be obedient, only obedient can eat meat, understand?"

The leaders of the Qiang people nodded again and again, understanding, understanding, understanding!
"That's how it is, go down and prepare, and set off in three days to Hexi."
