Prancing Horse Xiliang

Chapter 405

In July, Luo Zheng personally led [-] cavalry out of Chang'an, via the Hexi Corridor, on an expedition to the Western Regions.

In August, Cao Cao made a comeback. Taking advantage of Luo Zheng's failure to go on an expedition to the Western Regions, he led his army to attack Xiangxian County, hoping to map the original.

At the same time, King Dongce of Wu assembled an army of [-] to attack Anfengjin, preparing for the Northern Expedition.

The land of the Central Plains rose again, Gao Shun led his army to Xiangxian County, and fought with Cao Jun ten miles north of Xiangxian County.Cao Cao feigned defeat, lured Gao Shun's army into a valley and set fire to it.Unexpectedly, Gao Shun personally led [-] soldiers who were trapped in the battle to attack bravely and defeated Cao Cao's front army in one fell swoop.

Taking advantage of the situation, Gao Shun swung his army to cover up the killing, and defeated Cao Jun's killing. He pursued until Xiao County before withdrawing his troops.

After Cao Cao retreated to Pengcheng, he became ill and had to take care of him for more than half a month before he reluctantly stayed in the bed for activities.

After this defeat, Cao Junbing had no fighting spirit and was no longer able to fight.

Cao Cao convened a group of civil and military confidants to review his mistakes, and finally he had to say with emotion, "The high-shun is also a general!"

The princes in the hall were full of shame, wishing to bury their heads in their crotches, and Xiahou Dun was no exception.

A good ambush had already lured Gao Shun into a desperate situation. As long as the exit was blocked, Gao Shun's [-] army would be unable to fly. Unexpectedly, Gao Shun led [-] soldiers to defeat the front army from the front, turning defeat into victory. .

Not only did Xiahou Dun lose an eye, Cao Cao was almost captured alive by Gao Shun.

It's not shameful to lose a battle, but it's so useless that people can't help but want to vomit blood.

Even the tiger and leopard cavalry that Cao Cao was so proud of couldn't stop the assault of Gao Shun's eight hundred dead soldiers.

Such a result made it difficult for Cao Cao to accept, and all the generals under his command were hit hard.

Fortunately, the tiger and leopard cavalry played some role at the most critical moment, stopping the [-] dead soldiers, otherwise Cao Cao might not be able to return to Pengcheng this time. Cao Cao happened to be in the front army, and the rear army didn't have time to rescue him, so he was defeated by Gao Shun, but the fighting power of the [-] dead soldiers is shocking to everyone now.

After this defeat, Cao Cao returned to Pengcheng to rest and was temporarily unable to send troops.

On the Anfengjin side, Sun Ce couldn't make a strong attack on the pass, so he ordered the navy to attack at night from the waterway.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Liao had already made preparations, and put thousands of Jiangdong water troops into the pass, and then came to close the gate and beat dogs, trapping Zhou Tai, a general of the Dongwu navy who rushed into the city, and when Sun Ce led his army to help, Zhou Tai had already died in battle in the city. The head was thrown off the top of the city.

Sun Ce was furious and ordered the army to attack day and night.

Ran'an Fengjin also has [-] defenders, with similar strength, how can they be able to attack by force.

Sun Ce's attack was fruitless, so he had to retreat ten miles back to the stronghold to confront Zhang Liao.At the end of October, when the weather turned cold, he had to lead his army back to Jiangdong. Zhang Liao feared that An Fengjin would be lost, so he did not send troops to pursue, but only guarded the pass.

At the end of August, Luo Zheng sent troops out of Yumen Pass and arrived at King Shanshan City, where he ordered the heads of the 36 countries in the Western Regions to have an audience.

Within a few days, he ordered the Lord of Shanshan to offer [-] virgins, but the Lord of Shanshan refused to obey, so he sent his army to destroy the city of King Shanshan. After three days of massacring the city, there were no people or animals left. Then he sent his troops northward to attack Yanqi.The lord of Yanqi led his ministers to greet him at the border.

At the end of October, Luo Zhengbing entered the Western Governor's Mansion and asked the Lord of Qiuci for his concubine Yimir.

The king of Kucha refused to obey, so Luo Zheng led his army to break through its dry city, slaughtering the royal family and nobles of Kucha.

At this time, the weather had turned cold, and Guishuang's [-] troops stopped after hitting Shache.

Luo Zheng then garrisoned in Gancheng, and ordered the heads of countries in the Western Regions to come and meet him in Gancheng.

At the end of November, the rulers of all countries in the Western Regions gathered in Gancheng. Except for the Kucha Kingdom and Shanshan Kingdom whose royal families were massacred, none of the rulers of other countries dared not come.Accompanying King Kunmo of Wusun to Gancheng, there is also Princess Liu Ying of the Great Han Dynasty Xinyang.

Luo Zheng asked Fazheng to know what was going on.

Wusun and the Han Dynasty have maintained a good relationship for generations, and they have always been a friendly country in the Western Regions that the Han Dynasty tried to win over.

Since the Western Han Dynasty, Ubang has always been an ally to appease the Western Regions, and it has become a custom for the princess of the Han Dynasty to marry Wusun and marry him. As long as the princess married to Wusun dies, the court will immediately send another princess to marry him Western Regions.

At night, the Western Protectorate.

Grease torches were lit in the wide hall, and to the sound of drums, more than [-] bearded women in scantily clad clothes danced lightly, their small waists exposed to the outside, and the infinite scenery inside could be faintly seen when their dresses flew up.

The lords and trusted ministers of various countries in the Western Regions sat on both sides of the table. While drinking, they stared lewdly at the more than [-] beautiful orchids dancing gracefully. Their naked eyes were undisguised, and they wished they could swallow the women.

Although the hall is spacious, it still looks a bit crowded with hundreds of people sitting there.

On the main seat, Luo Zheng sat behind the table with a big knife and a golden knife, looking at Hu Ji in the hall, his brows gradually tightened.

Fazheng and Yan Xing sat on the left and right, and they also enjoyed watching it greatly, with expressions on their faces.

Only Xu Chu, a villain, didn't know where the beauty was, and looked around with wolf-like eyes.

"Enough!"

Luo Zheng suddenly shouted and waved his hand, "Back off!"

King Wusun was startled, and hurriedly drove Hu Ji out, and the drum music stopped.

All the lords of the Western Regions looked over, their eyes were not calm, and they didn't know what Luo Zheng, the murderer, wanted to do.

Luo Zheng's gaze was very sharp, he looked around the hall, and said indifferently: "Fanbang in the Western Regions is a minister of my great man. Last year, the tribute was reduced by [-]%. Who can tell Gu, what is going on?"

All the lords, you looked at me and looked at each other for a while, but you didn't know how to answer.

Since the first year of Zhongping, the Great Han has been in constant war. The countries in the Western Regions have long wanted to get out of control. It was not until Luo Zheng successively wiped out the [-]-mile Qiang Plain and the Wanli Desert that the countries in the Western Regions were scared out of their wits and had to bow their heads and surrender. Pay tribute.

After the start of the Great War in the Central Plains last year, all countries thought that the Han people were in chaos, so they reduced Sui Gong's thoughts on testing Luo Zheng.

Unexpectedly, Guishuang invaded, and the countries in the Western Regions could hardly resist, so they had to ask Luo Zheng for help.

But I don't want Luo Zheng to lead the army out of the Western Regions, just find an excuse, and slaughter the two countries of Shanshan and Qiuci, but frighten all the kings, lest they become the target of Luo Zheng's attack again, they all rush to It dry city audience.

At this moment, when Luo Zheng asked Sui Gong directly, I was very nervous and didn't know how to answer.

After waiting for a long time, the Lord of Wusun said: "Wang Shang Mingjian, last year there was a severe drought in the Western Regions, and the tax revenue of all countries was cut in half. We really have no choice but to pay [-]% less annual tribute, and this year we must make up for it. "

"Severe drought in the Western Regions?"

There was a sneer at the corner of Luo Zheng's mouth, "How did I hear that last year the Western Regions had good weather and a good harvest?"

"This one……"

Kunmo choked, not knowing how to justify himself, feeling extremely embarrassed for a moment.
