Chapter 290 A Little Important Driver! (4.3k)

The next day, the army set off again, Huo Shan didn't care about Li Ling's affairs anymore, he just waited for Li Ling's success report tomorrow.

[-] vs. [-], as well as terrain advantages, equipment advantages, and other advantages. If something happens to you again, Huo Shan will suffer the loss. He thinks he is blind!
At noon, when Huo Shan led the central army and the front army to march, the Qiang army in front had already arrived at the camp of [-] soldiers and horses of the Huns.

The Huns had already discovered the arrival of the Qiang army in advance, and because the Qiang army moved quickly, although they did not form an encirclement circle, it was considered a wave of killing.

However, quite a few of the Xiongnu cavalry, whose number should be more than half, fled to the west.

After Zhao Puonu learned of the situation, he did not speed up to chase them, but ordered the Qiang army to directly attack the capital of Shanshan.

In the afternoon, [-] Qiang troops arrived at the capital of Shanshan, and before even half an hour, Shanshan was defeated.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Huo Shan led the army to the capital of Shanshan. The army stopped outside the city. Huo Shan led a thousand feather forests and entered this small, dilapidated city in his eyes.

Xiaopocheng is not the capital of Shanshan, but the palace of the Lord of Shanshan. Well, a palace, it should be called a palace!
The countries in the Western Regions, except for a few big countries, have some large-scale cities, and the others are basically like this.

There are several palaces in the middle, and some houses on the periphery, and then there is a section of low city walls, and a section of low city walls, and most of the citizens live outside the city.

Of course, this is talking about small countries.

Most of the countries in the Western Regions are nomads, basically more than [-]%, wandering in the territory.

The remaining [-]% ​​are not too pure. The people in the country are still nomadic, but they have settled down, and they have been like this for generations.

It's a bit like the Huns, but don't think that they are nomads, so they don't farm land, and nomads also farm land.

However, their farming cannot be compared with that of the big man. The big man depends on this to fill his stomach.

.........

And when Huo Shan entered Xiaopo City, he frowned when he saw everything in front of him.

He saw the Qiang people laughing wildly, burning, killing and looting.

Huo Shan beckoned behind him, and Sun Shang leaned over on his horse:
"What are the orders of the governor?"

"Go, call Dong Ming over for me."

"promise."

Not long after, Sun Shang called Dong Ming over, and Huo Shan began to order:
"You take a battalion of Yulin to wander around, and if you see Qiang people slaughtering people who have no resistance, they will be beheaded by me. Don't forget to shout four words before beheading, so as to be righteous."

"The last general takes orders!"

Dong Ming turned and ran back, blowing his whistle while running, and then shouted:
"The second department and the first battalion listened to the order, loaded the arrows with strings on the gods' arms, and took Shi as a unit, relying on each other in the team, and patrolling in all directions.

The governor of the capital ordered to slaughter the Qiang people who had no resistance, and to kill them. Before beheading, don't forget to call out the law of righteousness. "

"promise!"

A loud shout sounded, and then the cavalry went in all directions.

Huo Shan then ignored them, but went to the tallest building in Xiaopo City.

After arriving here, a Qiang leader was waiting here with a group of people.

As for the others, such as Zhao Puonu and the rest of the Qiang leaders, they had already marched forward with a large army, and only a part of the Qiang people stayed here.

This is also the reason why Huo Shan was dissatisfied when he saw the slaughter of the Qiang people.

Qiang people are wild and unruly, so he is not surprised to see this scene, as long as you don't let him see it.

How long has it been, and they are still slaughtering here, they are going to exterminate the clan, how can this be done!
In the future, the Han people will still live in this area, and the big Han will also exercise some rule in this area. How can they do this!

Huo Shan walked forward quickly and asked:

"Is it all here?"

The leader of the Qiang people turned his head and saw Huo Shan hurriedly saluted:
"Go back to the governor, all of them are here, there is not one left."

After listening to the translation, Huo Shan nodded, and then looked at these women and children, and several grown men among them.

Huo Shan directly pulled out the lancet from his waist, rushed forward, chopped off the leader's head with one blow, then threw the blood on the knife back into the sheath and walked out, leaving behind cold words:

"Not a single one!"

These are all members of the royal family. Since they are going to be exterminated, they must be exterminated, and they must be exterminated!
While walking outside, Huo Shan instructed Zhang Anshi:

"Ask the envoys sent to this country to see if there are any leftovers, such as the prince who went to other countries as a hostage to study, and write down the names of the characters. They have been in Shanshan for so long, and these basic things should be familiar."

"The minister takes orders!"

When he came outside, Huo Shan got on the champion and waited quietly. After a while, the leader of the Qiang people came out.

Huo Shan beckoned to him, the Qiang leader ran over with a smile all over his face, Huo Shan raised the whip in his hand and slapped him in the face.

One of the leaders of the Qiang people lost his footing and fell to the ground. He was a little dazed, not knowing what he did wrong, so he quickly fell to the ground after realizing it.

"Hmph, have you forgotten what I told you?"

Huo Shan glanced at the Qiang leader who was kneeling on the ground, ignored him, and said to Sun Shang instead:

"Recall Habayashi."

"promise."

After Huo Shan finished giving his orders, he bent down again and lashed the Qiang leader's ass with a horsewhip.

"Take your son, don't bring anything, be careful, don't bring anything, let me set off immediately and catch up with the vanguard."

Then Huo Shan ordered to the herald:
"Notify the army, leave two thousand, and the rest of the troops will set out immediately, and let Zhong Gan send them to receive gold, silver, treasures, cattle, sheep, horses, grain and supplies, and the soldiers to clean the battlefield.

After finishing the work, set off directly without staying. The army will rest at a place fifty miles west of Shanshan City for a night. "

"promise."

The herald left to deliver the order, and Huo Shan led Yulin to the west of the city. It was not until Huo Shan left that the leader of the Qiang people stood up. At this time, his head was covered with cold sweat.

He already understood why Huo Shan punished him. He was only afraid and rejoicing at the moment, but he didn't expect to fail to invite credit, but made a big mistake instead.

He didn't dare to stop at this moment, leaving behind a hundred soldiers and horses, looking at the gold and silver treasures, he hurried west with the rest of the soldiers and horses.

Huo Shan led the army to rest outside Shanshan City for the night. At this time, they had not yet entered the territory of Che Shi Kingdom, but the vanguard led by Zhao Puonu had already entered.

When Che Shi Kingdom was strong and prosperous, its total population was around [-], and its soldiers and horses were around [-]. However, after Lao Zhao's attack, their power has weakened.

The population is now about [-], and there are [-] soldiers and horses. This is not a small force. Although there are many contradictions in the country at this stage, it is really not very weak.

Of course, it's in the Western Regions.

And this is not their weakest time. According to historical development, their weakest time will have to wait another 30 to [-] years.

Because Cheshi Kingdom is a strategically important place. After the Xiongnu entered the Western Regions, Dongqiemi was the base camp, which is Urumqi for later generations.

And Che Shiguo is a strategic location for attacking the Eastern and Western Regions, and his position is the Turpan of later generations.

As for the Eastern and Western Regions, the Western and Western Regions, just like the Eastern Tianshan and Western Tianshan, are a division in Huo Shan's mouth.

It is mainly divided by the Tianshan Mountains. The location of Dongqiemi is the junction point of the East and West Tianshan Mountains. This location can be regarded as the hinterland of the Western Regions.

If the big man wants to go further west, this place is full of difficulties. Whoever can occupy this place will have the initiative and can radiate all directions.

And the position of Che Shiguo is also very important.

First of all, this is a treasure land, and the climate is suitable for the survival of Han people.

From a strategic and military point of view, Cheshi Kingdom was the only barrier for the Xiongnu to protect Dongqiemi.

Taking control of this place, Dongqiemi's security has been greatly improved.

On the contrary, for the big man, it is obvious what the role of Che Shiguo is, the bridgehead for attacking the hinterland of the Western Regions!

You must know that the main power of the Western Regions is in the Western Regions, and the Eastern and Western Regions are just small countries.

And if the big man wants to greatly increase his power in the Western Regions, he must take down Dongqiemi, and if you don't take down Che Shiguo, how can you take down Dongqiemi.

Therefore, the area occupied by Che Shi Kingdom is still very important, a proper strategic location in history.

Even if Huo Shan wins Dongqiemi and builds the Governor's Mansion of the Western Regions here or further west, this place is still very important, and the way forward cannot be cut off!
The above-mentioned Hami is also very important, but its nature is somewhat different.

For Dahan, Cheshi is the bridgehead for Dahan to go deep into the Western Regions, and Hami is the bridgehead for Dahan to enter the Western Regions.

For the Xiongnu, Che Shi was the Huns' line of defense to prevent the big men from entering the Western Regions, but Hami was somewhat irrelevant.

Although they won Hami and could threaten Dunhuang Jiuquan and other places, the gains outweighed the losses for the Huns!

Does the Huns still lack a place to threaten the Han?

There is obviously no shortage of them. There is a long list of areas in the north, all of which are there. It is necessary for them to work hard to develop in Hami.

It's okay to have a little power, but it's impossible to have a big power.

Cheshi is a strategic location, and the tenacity of Cheshi mentioned above is also related to this.

In history, the Xiongnu and the big Han have been competing around this place. It is not a small scale. They have fought eight times, and there are countless small scales.

As a result, Che Shi was divided into six countries, such as the front of the car master and the rear of the car master.

However, the positions of these countries have changed a bit. From this, it can be seen that these six countries are another kind of competition!

Behind the north is the Xiongnu, and the south is estimated to have the shadow of a big man.

So whether he is tenacious or not is really hard to tell.

However, if a country is destroyed and destroyed again, it is considered acceptable.

But this is all from a historical perspective. In this life, at this stage, Che Shi is very hostile to the big man.

The reason is that the Xiongnu's background in this land is much deeper than that of the big man, and the big man is beyond the reach of this place!

Moreover, Lao Zhao defeated the car master once, and just this time, in the eyes of Lou Lan and the big man, he was still a bit invincible.

Speaking of this, it's a bit interesting!

To put it simply, Lao Zhao was too far away and the soldiers were exhausted, so there was nothing Loulan could do!
It's not that there is no way, or that I don't want to make a lot of effort, so I played a small trick.

After fighting for a while, he led his troops back and sent out the news that he couldn't fight, there was no food, the enemy was too strong, and I was going back to the big man.

Then the two countries believed it, and when they were proud, Lao Zhao directly killed a carbine.

With lightning speed, Loulan was destroyed and Che Shi was destroyed.

So, their brains are not very active, and with the support and encouragement of the Huns behind their backs, their hostility towards the big man is getting bigger and bigger.

There is another reason, Huo Shan also thinks it makes sense, that is the difference in the system.

The Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu had different systems and civilizations, one farming and the other nomadic.

Most of the countries in the Western Regions are nomadic, and they are naturally biased towards the Huns.

It's not that they got closer to the Huns directly.

It's that they know the Huns better, so they are naturally closer to each other subconsciously.

Moreover, they have also experienced the power of the Huns. Under half a century of rule, the Western Regions naturally surrendered to the Huns.

Compared with the big man, he is not just taller, but much taller.

In their view, the country in this area where the big man is now is just emerging.

In their eyes, this is indeed the case, and they have never touched it before!
Why is Zhang Qian admired by others? In the true sense, he has made great achievements and is the No. 1 envoy to the Western Regions!

If it weren't for these years, the big man suppressed the Xiongnu and didn't have such a great reputation, and pretended to be a snake with the countries of the Western Regions. In the eyes of the countries of the Western Regions, you still don't have the qualifications.

The Xiongnu is the most powerful empire in the world. If a big man can beat the Huns, how powerful is that big man!

This can't help but shock them!

But because the big man is too far away, and as the saying goes, hearing is believing, seeing is believing!

It's okay to be a conversation piece, but those who haven't seen it won't care!

You can talk about the frog in the well in the Western Regions, or whatever you say, but this is indeed the case!
Having said that, Huo Shan led troops into the Western Regions this time, and it was the first time that the Han Dynasty marched into the Western Regions with great fanfare.

As the saying goes, the first impression is very important. This sentence is not only for people, but also very important in this respect!
This time, if you have done it well and stabilized it, then you will get twice the result with half the effort when you do other things in the future.

The situation of the Xiongnu and the great Han in the Western Regions will undergo earth-shaking changes.

If this battle is not fought well, then what are you talking about? The countries in the Western Regions are obedient and vicious, and they are set on the surface, but they are set behind the scenes for sure!

Things will be very difficult in the future.

So combined with the situation mentioned above, the place of Che Shi must be controlled by a big man, and the country of Che Shi must also be destroyed!

What else is there to win over? Huo Shan never had this idea.

It's not just Che Shi, but after passing through these countries, if you want to kneel down as soon as you meet, that's okay, just resist a little, and you'll be wiped out without a word.

Although there are reasons for the prestige, but this is not all, the main reason is that this area of ​​the country is too deeply influenced by the Huns.

And it's too weak, the target Huo Shan wants to woo has to go west, those big countries!
In this region, it is unnecessary to compete with these great powers. Of course, if you really annoy me, I will kill you.

With 16 cavalry in hand and [-] reserve soldiers and horses, given him two years, with the three treasures of cavalry, Huo Shan can also train him into an elite cavalry.

Nearly 30 cavalry, we have no food and grass, so we can eat your food and drink your food. It is not impossible to destroy your Western Regions!

And there is such a powerful imperial support as the big man behind him!

With soldiers and horses in hand, you have confidence!

But this is impossible, it does not conform to the style of the Western Regions!
After destroying the soldiers and horses of the Xiongnu, they will come over and kneel and lick!
