Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1185 Retreat
The entire Western Region has been stirred up.

On the one hand, the King of Kucha, Su Fade, urgently mobilized the whole country for conscription, and on the other hand, he asked for help from many other countries in the Western Regions.

However, in the face of Qin Jun's menacing approach this time, no one is willing to talk to King Kucha.Even if the Kucha envoy repeatedly said that his lips were dead and his teeth were cold, no matter how much he offered treasures, no one would help.

It's not that they don't help, they really can't find a reason to help.

The reason for the Qin people to send troops is very fair and aboveboard. The country of Kucha violated the previous alliance agreement of the various countries. The Prince of Kucha sent mercenaries to intercept the silk road and rob caravans to rob goods. Detrimental to the interests of all countries in the Western Regions.

Although the Qin army patrolled and arrested the prince of Kucha, although there were some acts of crossing the border, Daqin has judicial power over the Silk Road and along the route, which was agreed at the beginning.

The people of Qin captured Prince Qiuci and killed his robbers. It was not a big deal.But when Qiuci sent tens of thousands of troops to besiege the cavalry battalion, the nature of the matter changed. This was Qiuci's undeclared war against Daqin.

Now Daqin is just fighting.

Under such circumstances, what reason do you let the countries use to interfere?

Even if someone wants to help reconcile, Anxi Road doesn't care at all now.

Now the State of Qin has made it clear that it wants to destroy Qiuci. This is killing chickens to warn monkeys.

King Qiuci said that the Qin people had premeditated it, and that it was a conspiracy, and everyone could do nothing about it, just like when the Qin army entered the Western Regions to destroy Shekui Khan, after all, it was still an era when the strong ruled the country.

Change the city.

Monk Xu is now stationed in the city. He called on the Qin merchants in the city to defend the city with arms and resist the counterattack of the Kucha army.Bahuan is an important shopping mall on the central line of the Silk Road. There are many merchants from the Central Plains doing business here. Monk Xu summoned an order, and merchants from the Central Plains enthusiastically signed up.

Even many Sogdian merchants were willing to accept rewards to join the city defense team.

The Kucha people in Huanba City were temporarily moved out of the city and placed in a small city outside Huanba City. This was to prevent them from doing damage to the Kucha army.

However, Monk Xu still sent people to protect their houses, shops, property, etc., and there was no robbery or murder.

Monk Xu's military discipline is very obvious, and he also strictly restrains the Fanzi in the city, the scouts, and the Tunzhuang militia.

There were not many rewards. Many money, merchants and goods from the Kucha government were directly rewarded by him. Everyone received a lot of rewards, so everyone was quite happy.

This trip was not in vain, and the rewards were great.

Silk Road has all but stopped.

Many businessmen did not dare to go out of the city, so they had to stay in the city temporarily, and some boldly wanted to go to the northern line of the Silk Road from the Bodaling Pass in the north, but Monk Xu did not stop them, and issued customs clearance documents for them. They leave.

On the east and west sides, because they are both cities of Kucha, merchants dare not leave, for fear of being involved in the war and losing their lives and properties.

And the merchants in the Central Plains, whether they were originally merchants in Changba City or passed by as merchants, they are all very united and willing to stay and help defend the city.

Monk Xu dispatched [-] scouts and [-] scouts from his own [-] scouts to increase the defense of Dunduo City, and sent Xiao Jin's team plus [-] Chengbangfanzi to increase the defense of Dashi City. defend.

In Changba City, Monk Xu got a garrison team composed of about [-] Qin merchants and Sogdian merchants, which allowed him to temporarily have [-] guarding troops, which is still quite a lot.Moreover, there is a lot of food in the city, and there are also a lot of armaments, so there is no fear for a while.

In the first few days, Monk Xu was actually not too worried about the counterattack of the Kucha people. What he was most worried about was that he had caused a lot of trouble this time, and he didn't know how the higher-ups would deal with it.

After waiting for a few days, they finally saw Jin Yiwei's people, and they conveyed Cheng Yaojin's order.

Cheng Yaojin ordered him to stick to Bahuan City and the three cities of Dashicheng and Dunduo. If necessary, Dashicheng can be abandoned, but Dunduo City, the control castle at the Bodaling Mountain Pass, must be defended. have to hold on.

"The three cities of Kucha that you occupy now are equivalent to cutting the kingdom of Kucha into two sections, so that the ends cannot be connected. Moreover, with the city of Dunduo in hand, the princes of Yili in the north can also cross the Tianshan Mountains to help. .”

When he learned that Cheng Yaojin had decided to take advantage of the situation to destroy Qiuci, Monk Xu didn't expect his matter to become so big this time.

But since the above said that he should keep it, then he must stick to it.

After the order was passed on, everyone was very happy when they heard that the commander of the Anxi Commander had directly recorded credit for everyone.

King Su Fadei of Kucha did not ask for any reinforcements, but he still did not give up.

No one is willing to give up the throne, not even brothers, let alone others.King Sufade of Kucha decided to fight to the death.

He has mobilized the whole country and recruited [-] troops.

Regardless of the fact that all the soldiers and horses had not yet been summoned, Su Fade directly pulled the more than [-] troops gathered from the eastern capital and the surrounding cities in the early stage and headed towards Changba City.

He wanted to take back Bahuan City before the Qin army had finished gathering and arrived, and after pulling out the nail behind him, he went back to face the Anxi Qin army.

After receiving the order from above, Dashi Yiyicheng gave up the station and evacuated with the important documents in the station.

"withdraw?"

"Well, according to the order from the superior, King Qiuci led an army over. It is impossible for our post stations and beacon castles along the Silk Road to stop them. In order to avoid unnecessary losses, let them evacuate immediately."

"Where are you going?"

"Retreat to Bahuan City."

"It's not just us who want to evacuate, all the post stations and beacons in the entire Kucha territory have to retreat, and even my Daqin merchants in the Kucha territory have reminded them to find a way to evacuate."

"Is the replacement city safe?"

"I don't know if it's safe or not, but I know that there are Monk Xu and King Xiao Yan in Bahuan City, and we will have a companion when we pass by. When the people from Kucha call, we can fight side by side."

"Clean up, let's go, take away the official documents, post horses, and post cars. Keep the rest, there is no need to destroy them, maybe we will be back soon."

When they were almost packed, Xu Feng, who had changed Fengbao, also came with eight Fengzi, and they also packed a lot of things.

"Thinking of you, you haven't left yet. Sure enough, together, we have a companion on the road." Xu Feng laughed.

"Wait for you, or leave early."

The distance between Dashiyi and Bahuanfengbao is not far, and the people on both sides are very familiar with each other. They used to come and go frequently when they were not on duty. Now it is indeed more companionable and safer to go on the road together.

More than a dozen people pulled horses and carts to evacuate. Behind them, the beacon smoke was still burning on the Baochang beacon castle. It was the last beacon smoke that Xu Feng led before the evacuation.

The Silk Road is closed, retreat!
