Prancing Horse Xiliang

Chapter 407 Kill the chicken to warn the monkey

The shouts of killing outside the city lasted for a full hour and a half, and it stopped at midnight.

The legs and feet of the Western Region rulers and ministers and guards stood weak, but they did not dare to relax at all.

Amid the sound of heavy footsteps, Yan Xing was covered in blood, strode in, and said loudly: "Master, the three thousand Wusun cavalry have been wiped out, and less than a hundred have escaped. The last general has sent troops to chase after him go down."

"very good!"

Luo Zheng nodded, and then asked Princess Xinyang, "Who does Her Royal Highness think is King Wusun?"

Princess Xinyang Liu Ying was still a little shocked, thought for a while and said: "Nikola was born as a concubine, so he can be the king of Wusun!"

Luo Zhengji said: "Okay, send people to Wusun tomorrow and call Nicholas to see him."

"As ordered!"

Fazheng nodded in response, planning to arrange this matter tomorrow morning.

Luo Zheng then looked at the king of the Western Regions who had been standing away from the table, and said: "All the lords, please sit down!"

Everyone looked at me, but they didn't dare to sit down, and their hearts were in a state of ups and downs.

Luo Zheng frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Sit down!"

The hearts of all the kings jumped, and they entered their seats quickly, not daring to disobey.

Holding the wine bottle, Luo Zheng looked around at the leaders of the Western Regions and said: "Wusun Kunmo is rebellious, dare to insult my Han princess, death penalty is inevitable, the lonely king will be the leader of the king, what do you think?"

No one said anything, they were all thinking about it in their hearts.

Of course, no one who can become a king is a fool.

Today's incident happened so suddenly that everyone was caught off guard just now.

It wasn't until he calmed down at this moment that he fully understood.The Han people have a saying called killing chickens to scare monkeys. Luo Zheng killed King Wusun obviously to establish his prestige, but at first no one expected that Luo Zheng would take the knife on King Wusun who was married to a big man.

Wusun is a powerful country in the Western Regions, with the greatest strength and [-] soldiers capable of fighting.

Since the early Han Dynasty, Wusun and the Han Dynasty have been friends and have been marrying each other. Although because of the Xiongnu, the Wusun Kingdom and the Han Dynasty have always been close, but it is undeniable that Wusun did play a role in the stability of the Western Regions for the Han Dynasty. positive effect.

Now that Luo Zheng is taking the Wusun country, isn't he afraid of a complete rebellion in the Western Regions?

All the kings were seriously thinking about what would happen if they rebelled.

It was late at night, and the kings left anxiously, but no one dared to leave it to dry the city.

Three thousand wolf cavalry blocked Gancheng, and [-] Xiliang cavalry were stationed outside the city. The three thousand Wusun cavalry brought by King Kunmo of Wusun had been wiped out, and the troops brought by other kings were not many. Two or three hundred, and the most are only seven or eight hundred.

Twenty thousand Xiliang cavalry were stationed outside the city, and no one dared to act rashly.

The kings felt that Kunmo, the king of Wusun, might bring three thousand cavalry to bring disaster.

The murderer of Luo Zheng obviously couldn't rub the sand in his eyes. What do you want to do with three thousand cavalry, to show your strength?

The powerful Xianbei people have all been slaughtered, so there is nothing for the mere Wusun country to show off.

After thinking about it, the kings still felt that it was the wisest choice to stay still for the time being.

At this time, whoever dares to jump out to be the first bird will probably be killed by Luo Zheng's murderer with an excuse.

In the back hall, Luo Zheng hasn't rested yet, and Fazheng and Sima Yi are also sitting beside him.

Xu Chu changed into casual clothes, and stood guarding the door with his sword, as before.

Luo Zheng motioned Fazheng and Sima Yi to sit down as well, and asked, "If Kunmo is killed today, will the countries in the Western Regions rebound?"

Fazheng said: "Don't worry, my lord. With the courage of the countries in the Western Regions, no one dares to stand out. The combined strength of the countries in the Western Regions is far inferior to that of Xianbei. Even the powerful Xianbei people have been wiped out by the lord. How can the countries in the Western Regions have that courage?" Provocation. According to Princess Xinyang, last year the countries in the Western Regions paid less than [-]% of the annual tribute. The Huns. What is even more intolerable is that when I came to Gancheng to have an audience with him this time, Kunmo Nasi dared to come with [-] cavalry, he was simply seeking his own death!"

Sima Yi also said: "Killing Kunmo has two benefits. One is to help Nicholas succeed to the throne. After all, Nicholas is the son of Princess Xinyang. After succeeding to the throne, he can stabilize the Western Regions for the Lord; the other is that Wusun is a powerful country in the Western Regions. Killing Kunmo can shock the countries of the Western Regions, making some people with ulterior motives and those who want to profit from it no longer dare to take chances, and greatly stabilize the rule of the Lord in the Western Regions."

Luo Zheng rubbed his brows and said: "I remember that Princess Xinyang seemed to be married to Wusun during the Guanghe period. She is still the younger sister of Lingdi. Her son Nicholas is only twelve or thirteen years old at most. Do you stay in the big picture?"

Fazheng said: "The problem shouldn't be too big. My lord just needs to wipe out all the powerful and powerful Wusun who is close to the Huns, and Nicholas can secure his throne. In order to avoid Wusun's rebellion, my lord can send troops as soon as possible to eliminate Wusun's pro-Huns forces!"

Luo Zheng made a 'hmm' and shouted outside the hall: "Come on!"

Xu Chu opened the door and walked in, asking, "What are your orders, my lord?"

Luo Zhengdao: "Send someone to call Yan Xing!"

"As ordered!"

Xu Chu obeyed, turned around and left.

After a short time, Yan Xing hurried in, "See you, my lord!"

"no!"

Luo Zheng waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow morning, you will take [-] cavalry to Chigu City. You must wipe out Wusun's forces close to the Huns in the shortest possible time, and help Nicholas, the son of Princess Xinyang, succeed to the throne."

"The last will obey!"

Yan Xing hurriedly shouted his orders and was about to leave.

Luo Zheng stopped him and said to Sima Yi: "Zhong Da went to Chigu City with Yanming, and served with the army as a staff member!"

Sima Yi cupped his hands and said, "I obey!"

Luo Zheng said again: "When you arrive in Chigu City, you can see that you can act according to your circumstances. It's good if you don't go to war. If things don't go well, you must kill the stubborn forces in the first time and control the situation as soon as possible to avoid heavy casualties!"

Yan Xing and Sima Yi responded in unison and left immediately.

Luo Zheng got up and took a few steps before asking Fazheng, "Xiaozhi, is there any news from Chang'an?"

Fazheng said: "A few days ago, the military division sent a letter saying that the five prefectures of Yong, Si, Liang, Shuo, and Yi had good weather and good weather, and the golden rice harvest in autumn was abundant, and the government treasury was full. Cleaning up and repairing, there is little rain, and the harvest is less than [-]% of that in Guanzhong. Many people are still unable to be self-sufficient. General Gao Shun and Lord Chen Gong are organizing the people to build water conservancy projects. There should be a good harvest next year. As long as the golden rice is harvested In one season, Yanyu and Yuzhou can be self-sufficient!"

Luo Zheng asked: "How long can Guanzhong store food last?"

Fazheng replied: "Don't worry, my lord. There is a big harvest of golden rice in autumn. There is a lot of food in the storehouses of various governments, which is enough for hundreds of hungry people in Yanyu and Henan provinces for two years. In the past few years, the people of Yong, Liang and Shuozhou have been living for a long time. There is a good harvest every year, and there is still a lot of food in the family. Even if there is a severe drought, it will not be enough to support for two to three years. If the government is short of food, you can temporarily borrow it from the people!"

Luo Zheng nodded, and after turning back to the case and sitting down, he said again: "Cao Aman, Sun Ce, Liu Bei and other generations are not dead, and they are coveting the Central Plains. I really feel a little uneasy in my heart!"

Fazheng said with relief: "Don't worry, my lord. Generals Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and Zhao Yun are good at fighting. Before Cao Cao and Sun Ce sent troops, they didn't get any advantage. Cao Cao was almost captured alive by General Gao Shun, and Sun Ce also defeated General Zhou Tai." , sorry for any mistakes!"

"I hope so!"

Luo Zheng said: "Okay, it's not too early, Xiaozhi went down to rest early!"

Fazheng cupped his hands and said, "I will take my leave!"
