Molested Zulong at the beginning

Even the civil and military officials behind him couldn't help feeling excited.

But the soldiers below all had blood welling up in their chests, and they all raised their arms and shouted: "Anyone who offends my Great Xia will be punished even if he is far away."

The voice of tens of thousands of people shouted in unison, how spectacular.

The sound of the mountains and tsunami rushed straight into the sky, shaking the sky and the earth.

Mao Dun, who was in the crowd, had his eyelids twitch wildly.

Looking at Bai Su's face full of righteous indignation on the altar, she couldn't help but wonder in her heart.

If she hadn't clearly known the exact cause and effect, just looking at the scene in front of her, she might have really been fooled by Bai Su, thinking how much humiliation Zhongyuan had suffered outside.

Sure enough, the Central Plains people are more cunning.

In comparison, she who was born in the grassland was too simple.

After the sacrificial ceremony is over.

Bai Su led the army out of Xianyang City slowly, seeing Xiang Yu who had not arrived, he couldn't help but sigh.

Just as he was about to order the army to set off, there was a sudden commotion around him.

Bai Su was stunned for a moment, and followed the gaze of the guard's finger.

I saw a tall figure appearing on a high slope in front of me.

She was wearing a silver skirt armor, and she was standing on a high slope on a single horse. The white cloak behind her was hunting, and a three-meter-long black spear was in her hand.

Although riding alone, it is like an army. Even if it stands there quietly, it still makes people dare not underestimate it.

The majesty exuding from her was like the eyes of a ferocious beast opening its eyes, causing many war horses in the army to snort uncomfortably, staggering back with a little irritability.

Who else can have such a sense of oppression except Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu held the reins and turned the black horse to turn around. His apricot eyes looked at Bai Su who was standing in front of the formation of the three armies with a surprised expression on his face. The corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he said, "I'm not late, Bai Su, Bai Su." grown ups."

Bai Su was taken aback for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "No, you came just in time."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The army starting from Xianyang City was mighty, like a long winding dragon, followed by a large number of convoys, which carried a large amount of medicinal materials and gunpowder, stretching for several miles as far as the eye could see.

Bai Su glanced back, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion at the almost endless line.

The larger the scale of this ancient expedition, the more serious the logistical burden will naturally be.

Fortunately, fortunately, he specially reformed the military rations, using lighter fried noodles, dried meat, cheese, and bean sprouts that can be cultivated on the spot.

Otherwise, the logistical pressure would at least increase several times, and the risks faced would be even greater.

After all, the bigger the team, the more complicated it is to manage. Once there is a sneak attack in the middle, which leads to chaos in the army, many changes will occur.

As the saying goes, the soldiers are more refined than numerous. While ensuring logistics, the leaner the team, the better.

Although Bai Su himself was still somewhat dissatisfied.

But in the eyes of Han Xin, Mao Dun and others, it is amazing to be able to achieve this level, and the adults are still too harsh on themselves.

However, perhaps because of this, he was regarded as the right-hand man by the first emperor and became the pillar of the imperial court.

After marching for nearly three months, Bai Su's army was able to reach the area of ​​Dawan Kingdom in the Western Regions.

The geographical location here is extremely special. It is located at the end of the corridor of the Western Regions. It is a place where the trade between the East and the West meets. The local production of horses, wine, wheat, and rice makes it a rare and wealthy country.

The most famous of these is the sweaty BMW.

Every year, Dawan Kingdom pays tribute to the Central Plains. The bloody horses are regarded as rewards by the court to reward those who have made meritorious service. It can be said that exchanges with the Central Plains are quite frequent.

Originally, this place should have been under the influence of the Guishuang Empire, a grass-like existence, swaying from side to side.

However, due to Bai Su's calculations, whether it was the Xiongnu or the Da Yuezhi, they were all annexed by the Central Plains and reduced to vassal states.

Since there are no great powers rising around Dawan, facing the mighty Protectorate of the Western Regions in the east, the only choice is to respect the Central Plains as the suzerain country and bow down.

When the army arrived, the lord of Dawan came out to greet him with all the officials, all of them looked nervous and cautious.

They didn't heave a long sigh of relief until they learned from Bai Su's mouth that the purpose of the Xia army was to attack the Maurya Dynasty, and they were temporarily resting here, and had no intention of attacking them.

After all, the entire Dawan Kingdom combined has a population of only a few hundred thousand.

And Daxia's army this time, there are nearly 30 to [-] troops. Looking at it, it is dark and dense, and I only feel my scalp numb for a while, and I am scared to death.

The welcoming ceremony was very solemn, King Dawan specially asked someone to prepare wine and meat, and came to welcome Bai Su and others, Bai Su did not refuse this at all.

In addition to crusade against the Peacock Dynasty, this time, they also have the intention of killing chickens for monkeys to see. If Dawan is obedient and obedient, then it is okay to say that Dawan can be given the status of a vassal state and live a rich life.

If there are any thoughts that shouldn't be there, then simply destroy him when attacking the Maurya Dynasty.

After all, the Central Plains is now completely stable internally, and has enough energy to completely rectify the Western Regions and designate them as counties, and completely digest them.

The soldiers of Daxia began to set up camp one after another.

in the camp.

Han Xin, Mao Dun and the others had been waiting in the tent early on. When Bai Su walked in, one of them was reading a book and the other was drinking tea in front of the stove.

As for Xiang Yu, he had a strange expression on his face, standing in front of the map on the screen, wondering what he was thinking.

Seeing Bai Su walking in, Han Xin stood up, cupped his hands and said, "I've seen you, sir."

"Don't be too polite."

Bai Su smiled, walked to Xiang Yu's side immediately, and couldn't help asking, "What is General Xiang looking at?"

Xiang Yu's slender black eyebrows raised slightly, and he said, "I dragged King Dawan to bring some maps to learn about the surrounding customs and customs, and found some interesting things."

"interesting?"

Bai Su was taken aback.

Xiang Yu nodded lightly, and said: "Beside Dawan Kingdom, on the only way to the Maurya Dynasty, there is a country named Bactria. I found it very interesting to use my spear as a weapon."

After all, she is the only person who can use such a long spear as a weapon in the entire Central Plains.

Now that she came to this exotic country, she heard that there was a country with a large number of soldiers who fought with spears, which naturally made her feel very interesting.

After pondering for a while, Bai Su couldn't help laughing, "General Xiang may have misunderstood. The spears in their hands may not be the same as what you think."

Xiang Yu was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean by that?"

Bai Su explained: "About a hundred years ago, there was a talented and general emperor who led an expedition of [-] troops and conquered a huge territory. array tactics."

"After the emperor died of illness, the huge empire also fell apart. This country named Bactria is the country established by the Greeks who followed the emperor and migrated all the way."

There was interest in Xiang Yu's almond eyes, and he couldn't help asking: "Then what is the strength of this country?"

Bai Su stroked his chin and said, "This country is good at making a living. It makes a living by selling slaves. Its local strength is pretty good, but compared with us, it is still not so good after all."

When he said that, he really gave Bactria too much face.

You must know that in history, the Da Yue Clan was defeated by the Huns twice in a row and could not gain a foothold in the Western Regions. They fled to Bactria with a group of defeated soldiers and annexed the country within a few years.

Afterwards, following the gap in the valley all the way, going south all the way will swallow up a large area of ​​land of the Maurya Dynasty and establish the Guishuang Empire.

Even the little Yue Clan's defeated army can do this. As the monster house in East Asia, the Central Plains, which has fought all the way from the king's rank, went out in person today, and the gap is more than a little short.

How did Xiang Yu know that there were so many ways in it.

When she heard that this Bactria came from the former Macedonian Empire, she couldn't help but get excited: "If that's the case, let me fight the first battle myself."

Bai Su asked, "How many troops does that general need?"

Xiang Yu's slender black eyebrows were slightly frowned, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "Give me [-] soldiers and horses."

This was her first time participating in an expedition, and she didn't know the strength of the local country, so she should be more cautious.

After all, judging from the paper data alone, the territory is almost equivalent to a Duoqi country.

Judging by the experience of the Central Plains, to defeat such a large country, no matter how confident she is, she needs at least [-] to [-] troops.

Bai Su smiled and said: "Okay, I will give you [-] soldiers and horses, Han Xin will let you draft the letter, and put forward a condition that is impossible for them to agree to, such as cutting the land and surrendering, and providing food and grass for our army." kind."

"They will definitely not agree to such a harsh condition, so we will have an excuse to attack. At that time, I will personally lead the army to suppress the border and pretend to be attacking the city."

"Faced with such huge pressure, they will definitely not risk going out of the city to fight easily. Then I can deliberately show a flaw, deliberately set up the coach's camp in a place with a downwind, and as the coach, I will deliberately expose it to them .”

"In this way, they will naturally be unable to bear the temptation, and will find a way to gather troops and go out of the city for a risky battle. In this way, they will fall into my arms."

"General Xiang can lie in ambush on the road they must pass in advance, and when they come out of the city, they will immediately launch a sneak attack and directly behead the enemy general, causing the three armies to fall into chaos."

"Modun, Han Xin and you two led the soldiers and horses, rushed out from the two wings, and completely defeated the enemy in one breath."

After hearing Bai Su's plan, Han Xin's slender eyebrows frowned slightly.

She couldn't help but said: "As the saying goes, a gentleman is not conducive to being under the fence. As the commander of the three armies, it is too risky for you to take the initiative to expose yourself to danger?"

Bai Su couldn't help laughing and said: "As the saying goes, if you want to catch a big fish, you must prepare the proper bait, besides..."

"Now I have General Xiang and General Han by my side. If I have one of you two, I can take over the world. Now that you two are by my side, it's like a tiger with wings added. I have nothing to fear."

After hearing Bai Su's words, Han Xin and Xiang Yu couldn't help showing complex expressions on their faces.

Only Mao Dun, who knew the local situation, couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Thanks to the excellent local matching mechanism, the country of Bactria is on par with the Maurya Dynasty in terms of combat power, like a pair of born crouching dragon and phoenix chicks.

In the face of such an opponent, don't say that Daxia personally made a move, even if she came from the Hun tribe, there is no pressure, and there is really nothing to be afraid of.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

In the city of Bactria.

In the white palace, looking around, there are white pillars everywhere, full of exotic customs.

At this time, in the main hall, there is a beautiful dancer twisting her graceful figure, and the luthier plucks the strings, and it is so pleasant.

All the officials were enjoying the song and dance with their king with satisfaction, completely defenseless.

But it's normal.

Looking around, there are almost no aggressive powers.

Anxi in the west has just risen, and there is no energy to target them yet.

Although the Maurya Dynasty in the south was a large country with a large population, its royal power declined after all, and it was unable to mobilize various city-states.

Those city lords only wanted to keep their one-acre three-point land, and had no idea of ​​expanding their territory at all.

Therefore, the Maurya Dynasty had more than enough self-preservation, but a serious lack of aggressive desire.

As for Dawan in the west, and Chechi and other small countries in the Western Regions, they are not their opponents at all.

In this way, they have had almost no pressure for so many years, relying on the business of transporting spices with neighboring countries and selling slaves.

In particular, recently, Anxi started to go to the Western Regions for trade. Every time the caravan passed by their place, they were plucked out of their wool, and they lived comfortably.

Just as they were drinking wine and enjoying singing and dancing, there was a rush of footsteps.

I saw a female general wearing a helmet, a red robe, an armor on the upper body, and a skirt armor on the lower body, walking in.

She stroked her chest and bowed in salute: "Your Majesty, Great Xia sent an envoy to send a letter."

With golden wavy hair, a pair of azure blue eyes, and wearing a gorgeous silk dress, the queen sat lazily on the throne with one hand dragging her chin.

She looked at the female general below, and her slender brows could not help but frown: "Where is Daxia's city-state, why have I never heard of it?"

The female general below cupped her hands and said, "Your Majesty, this Great Xia is not a city-state, but a big country from the mysterious east. Dawan, Chechi and other small countries in the Western Regions are allegiance to that Great Xia. The caravan in our city The silk and porcelain sold all come from this capital."

The queen nodded slightly, she dragged her cheek with one hand, and asked with some doubts: "We have never had any contact with this Daxia, and now Daxia suddenly sent an envoy to send a letter, what do you mean?"

The female general's expression suddenly became strange, and after hesitating for a moment, she said, "Your Majesty, you should see for yourself."

The queen couldn't help being stunned, and the envoy went down and presented the letter.

After she opened the secret letter and looked down, she seemed to have seen something unbelievable. She slapped the table hard with her white jade hand, and gritted her silver teeth: "It's unreasonable, this Daxia is so arrogant!"

The hall suddenly fell silent, and the dancers also stopped their movements, carefully looking at the panting queen.

The officials below looked at each other in blank dismay, one of them couldn't help standing up and asked, "Your Majesty, what happened?"

The queen threw the letter on the ground fiercely, and said through gritted teeth: "This letter says that the Maurya Dynasty killed Daxia's envoy, and Daxia will launch a counterattack, but if you want to go to the Maurya Dynasty, you need to pass through our territory."

"So Daxia wants to use the road to pass by. Because Daxia's soldiers are full of anger, in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, I hope that we can directly lend the three cities along the way to Xia Jun for a while."
