The Great Thief of the Three Kingdoms, save Mrs. Du at the beginning

Chapter 159 Liu Hong is going to Nanyang, fearing that he will establish a crown prince.

Kangju State is located on the middle grassland of the Syr Darya today.

That is to say, it is equivalent to the south of Kazakhstan and the middle and lower reaches of the Syr Darya.

Being a mostly nomadic country.

Kangju country also has farming civilization.

That is the five farming cities in Samarkand, Tashkent, and Bukhara.

The military system of the Kangju Kingdom can be divided into two major systems: the farming city-states in Central Asia and the Scythian nomads under the influence of Hellenization.

The former is famous for the special fortification technique in Central Asia and the accompanying city defense technology.

The latter is based on the powerful Scythian Massagh Thai light and heavy cavalry.

The Kangju country is undoubtedly a major overlord in the Syr Darya River Basin, occupying the vast grassland with delicious water and grass.

However, all of this was broken by a sudden piece of bad news.

Kang Juguo, the capital of the king, and the city of Beitian.

Resplendent and magnificent hall.

Dozens of civil and military personnel are listed.

At this time, the hall was filled with boiling and panic.

"Your Majesty, the Han army is coming so fiercely that they even gathered 30 cavalry to attack our Kangju country. They also threatened to restore Dawan to the country. We have to guard against it."

Prime Minister Kang Juguo, with a white beard all over his face, was extremely nervous at this moment.

"Yeah, our country only has 10,000+ troops, so what should we do?"

"I heard that the [-]-strong Han army slaughtered tens of thousands of Huns, and now all the Huns have died in the Western Regions."

"What can we do? 30 cavalry are coming to attack. This is the danger of the country's subjugation."

One after another sighed, voices full of worry and worry resounded, but I saw all the civil and military members of Kang Juguo in the hall panicking.

At this time, King Kangju's face was flushed red, and his teeth were itchy with hatred.

How dare the big Han people attack Kang Juguo?
For the Han people, Kang Juguo's attitude has always been indifferent, or even indifferent.

There are signs of this in history.

Kang Juguo fought with the Han Dynasty many times.

When Li Guangli led the Han army to attack Dawan, Kang Ju tried to send troops to support Dawan.

During Chen Tang's crusade against the Xiongnu Zhizhi Shanyu, Kang Juguo also sent [-] cavalry to help the Xiongnu.Chen Tang directly defeated the [-] cavalry sent by King Kang Ju to help the Huns.

In the process of Ban Chao's pacification of the Western Regions, Kang Ju also sent elite soldiers to assist King Shule's rebellion, which once brought great trouble to Ban Chao.

Repeatedly confronting the Han Dynasty, this is simply not taking the big man seriously.

The reason is that Kang Juguo does not think that the big man can have any influence on them.

The long distance made Kang Juguo dare to challenge the Han army!
But today, what did they hear?
King Wu of the Han Dynasty will attack Kangju with 30 cavalry! !

Shock!incredible!
Surprised!Trembling with anger! !
King Kangju is a middle-aged man in his 30s, a man in the prime of life.

King Kangju was also a proud man.

Before thinking about it, he also said:
"Although the big man Liu Yu is strong, my Kangju is not less than ten thousand miles away from the big man. Can Liu Yu still hit our Kangju? Don't worry about it!"

Now Liu Yu can't just kill him.

Slapping the face can be described as crackling.

"Does the enemy really have 30 cavalry? The scouts quickly find out!"

"In addition, I sent an envoy to the Guishuang Empire, saying that as long as the Guishuang Empire can send troops to help me Kangju, Kangju will thank you after the war!"

King Kangju gritted his teeth and made a decision.

"promise!"

The relationship between Kang Juguo and the Guishuang Empire is also good, and it can even be said that they are often married.

Now that the Kangju country is facing the danger of the whole country, it is definitely a very good choice and the best choice to ask for help from the Guishuang Empire.

……

Dawan.

The name of an ancient Central Asian country, located in the western foothills of the Pamirs, on the upper and middle reaches of the Syr Darya River, which is now the Fergana Basin of Uzbekistan.The original inhabitants seem to be mainly the Serbian species.

The earliest connection between Dawan and the Han Dynasty was during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, when Zhang Qian traveled to the Western Regions.

At that time, Dawan was a powerful country with more than 70 towns and a population of hundreds of thousands. It was a country with prosperous agriculture and animal husbandry. It produced rice, wheat, grapes, and alfalfa, and it was especially famous for sweating blood horses.

Today's Dawan is swallowed up by the surrounding powers, and it is no longer the grand occasion three or four hundred years ago.

Dawan King City, Dawan City.

At this time, the continuous army was densely covered, and the Han banners fluttered in the wind on the walls of Dawan City.

Wangcheng, inside the main hall.

Liu Yu was wearing a cotton padded jacket, sitting on the throne of Dawan, drinking warm kumiss, served by two beauties from Dawan.

Dozens of people including the king of Dawan, the ministers of civil and military affairs of Dawan, the leaders of the surrounding clans, and the king of Wusun, Kunsha, all gathered.

"It's cold outside now, and I'm afraid we won't be able to mobilize troops for two months. We can only mobilize troops after the beginning of spring."

"However, according to the information, Kang Juguo seems to have asked for help from the Guishuang Empire. We have to guard against it, my lord!"

Jia Xu frowned and said to Liu Yu who was sitting on the throne.

Listening to Jia Xu's words, the king of Dawan, the civil and military leaders of Dawan, the leaders of the surrounding clans, Wusun King Kunsha and others all looked at Liu Yu in unison in the hall.

Liu Yu didn't speak immediately, but looked out of the window. The cold wind howled and the snow filled the air.

In the blink of an eye, he had been marching west for more than a year.

It doesn't look far from the map, but in reality the distance between the two countries is extremely far, especially in the case of difficult transportation in ancient times.

This is the case when Wusun Kingdom and the countries in the Western Regions provide a lot of supplies.

It takes so much time to attack the Kangju Kingdom, but one can imagine how strenuous and time-consuming it would be to attack the mighty Guishuang Empire, the Anxi Empire, and even the farther and wider Roman Empire.

Liu Yu's pupils gradually focused, his face turned cold, and he snorted coldly:
"After the beginning of spring, send troops to Kangju immediately, and they will surely go down to Kangju!"

"As for the Guishuang Empire!"

"Send a message to Lord Guishuang. This king will go out on behalf of the big man. The Kangju country has repeatedly made enemies of my big man. He is the enemy of my big man. If Guishuang dares to support Kang Ju, this king will mobilize elite troops from the big man to attack the Guishuang Empire. Let Guishuang pay a heavy price."

As soon as Liu Yu's tough words came out, everyone in the hall was shocked, but King Dawan's face was full of joy.

"promise!"

Jia Xu was not surprised to hear that Liu Yu chose to directly deter the Guishuang Empire.

According to Liu Yu's character, it is indeed normal to have such a reaction.

Even, I am afraid that at this moment Liu Yu still hopes that the Guishuang Empire will send troops, so that Liu Yu will have an excuse to send troops to Guishuang later.

Jia Xu bowed his hands and left, and immediately arranged for someone to go to Guishuang Empire to convey Liu Yu's meaning.

……

the other side.

Within the territory of Dahan.

Since Liu Yu led the army to go west, all the prefectures, counties, and even the people of Luoyang are looking forward to it.

With the world map presented by Liu Yu, it spread.

Only then did the common people realize that the world is so big and wide.

In the West, there is another world.

Across the 36 countries in the Western Regions, there are still many countries there.

There are even three empires that are not far behind the big Han in terms of land area.

Liu Yu's martial arts is strong, he is the king of Han, the god of war, and the people of the Han people hope that Liu Yu can expand the territory and expand the map of the Han, and they yearn and look forward to it.

They all hope that Liu Yu can do something to spread his prestige outside the region. Of course, this premise is undoubtedly because the territory of Dahan is stable.

From the emperor Liu Hong to the small officials, they all thought that the yellow scarves in the world would be taken to the north by Liu Yu, and the world would be peaceful and stable.

However, the reality is not as Liu Hong and many county officials imagined.

In fact, not long after Liu Yugang led the army to the west.

In the territory of the Han Dynasty, such as Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Yanzhou, the rebellion resumed.

In a short period of time, 20 or [-] people wearing "green scarves" rebelled, captured states and counties, broke the government, and plundered the family's Ubud.

In the territory of the Han Dynasty, it is not like Liu Hong and others thought that the world would be peaceful when the Yellow Turbans took time off.

Heavy taxes, rampant natural disasters, and aristocratic families allied with the government to exploit localities and run rampant in the countryside. The people are still living in dire straits.

Many people's households ran out of surplus food, and batches of refugees came into being after the Yellow Turbans were emptied out. Liu Hong couldn't see them, and the aristocratic families in various places didn't care about them, but they existed and happened.

The organized and armed Qingjin raised their arms and shouted. There was an example of the Yellow Turban Rebellion before, and a large number of people who could not survive directly joined the Qingjin!
Qingjin attracted a large number of people. In a short period of time, the number of Qingjin expanded to an astonishing 40 million people, much like the previous Yellow Turban.

The states were shaken, and the court and the states and counties were shocked.

Liu Hong was even more frightened and angry, roaring endlessly.

It's just that now that Liu Yu has gone to the west, he can't be called back for the time being, so he can only rely on themselves.

Because the state pastoral system is implemented.

So Jizhou Mu, Yanzhou Mu, Qingzhou Mu and others have an army of [-] to [-].

Following Liu Hong's order, he was busy suppressing the rebellion.

It's just that what makes people fall into the eyes again is.

The blue scarf seemed to have God's help.

The army of animal husbandry in various states fought against the army of Qingjin, but they were defeated again and again due to various reasons.

Just when Liu Hongqi's liver was hurting, he was hesitant to send Huang Zhong to lead the army to suppress it.

Jizhou and Yuzhou jointly dispatched troops.

Yuzhou Mu Yuanshu sent [-] "well-trained" troops under his command, led by Yuan Shao, with generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou under his command.

Zhang Miao got the help of Jizhou Mu Hanfu, and recruited a new army, and he was assisted by generals Ji Ling and Gao Lan.

Zhang Miao and Yuan Shao, one from the south and the other from the north, jointly responded and attacked Qingjin. Qingjin was defeated in a row. After several months, Qingjin was defeated all the way. The power increased greatly, and the green scarf actually made Zhang Miao and Yuan Shao famous for being good at fighting, stirring up the world.

When the Qingjin was at its end, Zhang Miao had selected [-] young men from the Qingjin.

Yuan Shao's army expanded to nearly [-] troops.

Congratulations,

Yuan Feng and Yuan Kai acted immediately, took out the wealth of [-] million seized from the blue scarf, and threw it into the West Garden.

Ten permanent attendants Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong and others were overjoyed, even Liu Hong was extremely pleasantly surprised.

In the end, Yuan Shao won the position of Qingzhou Mu, and directly squeezed out Qingzhou Mu Kongrong, who had lost the battle.

Even Zhang Miao won the position of the prefect of Dongjun, with all the troops under his command.

Yuan Shu is a shepherd of Yuzhou, Yuan Shao is a shepherd of Qingzhou, and Yuan's family is one of two state shepherds.

In addition, many of Yuan's disciples served as state shepherds and county guards in various states and counties.

The Yuan family has more prestige, has soldiers and power, and is in the limelight for a while.

On the other hand, Dong Zhuo, who was serving as the shepherd of Liangzhou in Xiliang, was not idle. He reported to the court that the Qiang people often made troubles and asked the court to allocate money and food. With the support of He Jin, Dong Zhuo received a lot of support from the court.

Coupled with the unparalleled bravery in the battle, a large number of Qiang people surrendered, and even Ma Teng and Han Sui, the local forces in Xiliang, were strongly subdued by Dong Zhuo.

The army under his command expanded to an astonishing 15 troops in one fell swoop, gathered a large number of horses, and wanted to maintain 15 Xiliang cavalry in Xiliang.

At the end, the generals were like clouds, and the soldiers were like rain. Dong Zhuo's name spread all over the court and the public for a while, and because he declared that he was under the general's command, He Jin was extraordinarily upright and confident!It seems to be saying that even if Wu Wang Liu Yu goes on an expedition, he still has a large army!
Inside the Han Dynasty, the system of cannibalism, heavy taxes, and collusion between the aristocratic family and the government made the states and counties of the Han Dynasty not so peaceful, and rebellions occurred from time to time.

Just like that, a year has passed since Wu Wang Liu Yu went west.

……

Luoyang.

The quaint streets are bustling with people coming and going. As the capital of the Han Dynasty, Luoyang City is still prosperous.

"Drive~"

"Drive~"

"Eight hundred miles in the Western Regions, hurry up, great victory, great victory, King Wu's great victory, get out of the way!"

The dusty messengers rode their horses, and the sound of horseshoes resounded, breaking the silence. The bodies of the people in the street shook in unison, with excited expressions on their faces.

What did they hear?
Expedited eight hundred miles in the Western Regions?King Wu is victorious?
The people of Luoyang City were extremely pleasantly surprised.

Busily dodged to the sides.

The people on the street and the children of the aristocratic families stretched their heads.

I want to hear what urgent news Liu Yu sent back.

The orderly did not disappoint them, and said in an excited voice:
"King Wu's great victory, all the countries in the Western Regions were conquered by King Wu and surrendered to the Great Han. Wusun Kingdom and King Wu have formed an alliance. 30, are cooperating to send troops to Kangju State, King Wu wants to capture Kangju State, which is several states compared to the Han Dynasty..."

The messenger went further and further away, disappearing from the sight of the people around him, but the news he shouted made all the onlookers excited and moved.

"Did you hear that? The countries in the Western Regions were conquered by King Wu, Dawan became a vassal state of Han, and even the mighty Wusun Kingdom joined forces with King Wu!"

"King Wu assembled a whole army of 30 to attack Kangju State. It is really powerful. Compared with Kangju State, which is a land of several states in the Han Dynasty, it is formidable. King Wu is too powerful!"

……

The people of Luoyang City were excited because of the great victory that came from afar.

……

"Haha...cough...cough, good, good, King Wu is really powerful, cough cough... He has already hit Kangju country, everyone in the Western Regions speaks Chinese, learns Chinese characters, learns Confucian classics, good, good, great...cough cough .”

In the imperial palace and Chengde Hall, Liu Hong with a pale complexion looked at the detailed news from Liu Yu, but he was extremely excited. His violent cough made his face turn red.

All the civil and military officials in the hall also had smiles on their faces.

Although many of them did not deal with Liu Yu, they were even quite upset because Liu Yu was close to the Yellow Turban.

However, it is undeniable that Liu Yu's forces are now in the north, and they have no interests involved.

They were delighted and excited to see that Liu Yuneng expanded the territory for the great Han, and even reached Kangju country.

You know, Kangju country is already more than 1 miles away from Luoyang. Such a long distance, is it the land of the big man?
The crowd is excited.

At this time, Tong Guan bowed his hands to Liu Hong and said with a smile:
"Returning to Your Majesty, King Wu said that Kangju country only has 10,000+ troops. Now King Wu has an army of 30 to [-]. Kangju country is definitely not an opponent. It is only a matter of time before Kangju country is captured."

"Conquer the Kangju country, and unite with the Wusun country. King Wu can even attack the Guishuang Empire. The Guishuang Empire is a powerful country. If I can annex Guishuang, I am afraid that the territory will be twice as large as that of the Han Wu Emperor. Woolen cloth."

Tong Guan arched his hands and said with a smile, which made Liu Hong's complexion even more flushed and excited, and said:

"That's right, that's right, if King Wu is to fight with his heart, he must take down the Kangju Kingdom and march into the Guishuang Empire!"

"No!" Tong Guan answered with cupped hands.

After Liu Hong got excited for a while, he regained his strength, a look of weakness suddenly appeared on his face, and said:
"I feel more and more unwell. Lin'er is still far away in Nanyang. I haven't seen Lin'er for a year. I don't know how Lin'er is doing now. Huang Zhong arranged for the Imperial Forest Army. In a few days, I will go to Nanyang to see Look at the third prince!"

In the main hall, Liu Hong's words resounded so resoundingly that it stunned all the civil and military personnel, but there was no reaction. After all, Liu Hong was famous for liking the third prince, Liu Lin. Lin must be the next emperor of the Han Dynasty.

They understood that Liu Hong was in poor health and wanted to go to Nanyang, and even looked at Liu Hong's health, and they even felt that Liu Hong might want to establish a crown prince if he were to go.

General He Jin's face was filled with joy.

However, what everyone didn't notice was that the complexion of Tong Guan next to Liu Hong changed slightly, and even Huang Zhong's complexion changed slightly.

However, under the gaze of everyone, Huang Zhong stood up, with a solemn expression, cupped his hands and said:

"No! I will make arrangements for this!"
