Established a millennium family since King Wu defeated Zhou

Chapter 451 Consecration!

Dawan Palace.

Luo Shi looked at Princess Dawan who was kneeling in front of the horse. Women from the Western Regions were very famous in the Han Dynasty, and high-ranking officials and nobles liked to take them as concubines or act as dancers.

From the perspective of Luo Shi riding on the horse, Princess Dawan's figure is quite explosive, a typical good birth, and her clothes are bold and unrestrained, her face is like a peach blossom, extremely gorgeous, and her eyes are quite seductive.

Luo Shi is used to seeing the extremely beautiful Luo family daughter, so he doesn't think there's anything wrong with it, but other people can't restrain themselves. On the battlefield of the temple army, there are ruthless killing machines, but off the battlefield, there are flesh and blood people. On the body of Princess Dawan.

Luo Shi's first reaction was to dedicate this woman to the emperor, imitating his father's act of dedicating Princess Loulan to Liu Che. If he gave birth to a son, he could take back the Western Regions as king, just like splitting Wusun Kingdom, split Dawan country, to reduce the military pressure on the Protectorate of the Western Regions.

Luo Shi knew very well that the victory in this battle was only temporary. If he could not use appropriate political means to stabilize the results, given the distance of Dawan Kingdom, he would betray the big man again within two or three years.

To establish a stable rule, military victory alone is not enough, and rule by force is bound to fail.

"Beautiful princess, I will dedicate you to the supreme emperor of the Han Empire, the most honorable person under Su Wang and the emperor, the great emperor."

"I will kill the King of Dawan! Pass his head among the countries in the Western Regions, then return to Chang'an of the Han Dynasty, and present it to the Son of Heaven!"

"I will kill those nobles who bewitched the King of Dawan to betray the Han, hang their heads outside Dawan City, and warn everyone who enters Dawan City."

"I will kill those soldiers who voluntarily fight for King Dawan, and report each other. As long as the reports are true, the death penalty can be avoided."

"I want Dawan to submit to the great Han, and I will send the prince, princess, and the sons of the great nobles to Chang'an to learn the classics of my ancient sages."

"Princess, do you accept these conditions?"

Luo Shi's voice reached the ears of Princess Dawan and the nobles of Dawan word by word. Princess Huo De of Dawan raised her head and said angrily, "General of the Han people, are you humiliating Dawan?"

Killing King Dawan was nothing, it was something that could be thought of when he surrendered, but the conditions behind it were somewhat unacceptable.

Prince Dawan, who was captured by Luo Shi earlier, also said loudly: "Noble general, such humiliation to Dawan is unacceptable.

Dawan's resistance will not stop, the general's army alone cannot conquer the mighty Dawan! "

It's true, conquering a country is completely different from defeating a country.

But Luo Shi was right, and said slowly but with a firm tone and piercing eyes: "Then wait for me to defeat your Dawan army again.

Come back to discuss with you at that time, but at that time, the conditions are more than that! "

As soon as Luo Shi's words came out, the Han army roared loudly, especially the temple army, who pulled out the sharp blades that were still dripping with blood, overflowing with murderous aura.

The faces of the nobles in Dawan immediately changed. The reason why they surrendered was because the army of the nobles in Dawan was defeated and no one could come to relieve the siege of Dawan. They surrendered with no hope of survival.

But even if they surrender, the Dawan nobles still have confidence in their hearts. The Han army cannot stay here forever. Although the Han army is dominant now, the duration of the local battle and the away battle are completely different.

But Luo Shi actually wanted to confront them without giving in, just to see who would die first, this made the nobles of Dawan panic, and Princess Dawan, who had been glaring at Luo Shi all the time, weakened her eyes.

……

The conquest of Dawan was won, and the messenger first rushed to Chang'an with the battle report to report to Emperor Liu Dan. Luo Shi led the officials of the Western Regions Protectorate and the kings of the Western Regions slowly towards Chang'an.

In the Changle Palace, a close minister reported Luo Shi's achievements to Liu Dan.

"Your Majesty, after receiving your order, the General Guard set out from the Wushuang Kingdom and led a total of [-] troops on foot and tens of thousands of troops from the countries of the Western Regions. They crossed the Tianshan Mountains, crossed the desert and the Gobi Desert, and marched for more than [-] miles. Under the city of Dawan, the capital of the king of Wan.

Destroyed the defenders of the Dawan Royal City first, beheaded 1 people, captured 13 people, and killed and captured [-] nobles below the prince of Dawan.

After besieging Dawan City for one month, they defeated the coalition forces of Dawan nobles, beheaded 700 people, captured 500 people, and killed and captured 24 Dawan nobles.

After besieging Dawan City for two months, the nobles of Dawan opened the city and surrendered. The King of Dawan has been decapitated. The great Han congratulated him and expressed his willingness to bow his head and proclaim himself a minister. "

After listening to the battle reports, Liu Dan was heartbroken, and laughed loudly: "The Marquis Wushuang is indeed brave and unparalleled, just like his father Zhaogong!
I want to reward him heavily. I remember that Marquis Wushuang is the second son of Duke Zhao. The second son is good. Marquis Wushuang has not married yet, right? "

"Report to Your Majesty, I have never heard of it!"

Liu Dan clapped his hands and said with a loud smile: "Grind it for me, I want to write a letter to Mr. Zhao!"

Liu Dan was in a very happy mood. Now that the good news from the northwest has come, the good news from the southeast must be about the same.

……

After two months of trekking, on the premise of increasing the speed, the army naturally stayed in the Protectorate of the Western Regions, and Luo Shi only brought warriors and missions from the Western Regions.

The temple army also stayed in the Western Regions, guarding Su Wang's temple.

This was the first time that Luo Shi saw this emperor, he was appointed by Emperor Xiao Ding to be the Protector of the Western Regions, but it was this emperor who finally allowed him to make such achievements.

"The ministers see Your Majesty!"

Liu Dan returned the salute and bowed, and then laughed loudly: "My great hero has returned, how many people from the Western Regions will come to congratulate me this time?"

Luo Shi stated: "Your Majesty, there are 37 countries from the Western Regions who came to congratulate you!"

Liu Dan said with a smile: "Looking forward, such a scene of congratulations from various countries may only have happened to the emperor of Bangzhou in the past.

Today, I enjoy it because of Qing, so I should reward you heavily. "

The first emperor of the Han Dynasty to enjoy the congratulations of the kingdoms was Emperor Xiaowu, but Luo Wuji had just pacified the Western Regions at that time, but he had only conquered the kingdoms at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountain, only twelve or three.

Luo Wuji mainly created the political structure of the Protectorate of the Western Regions, as well as the relationship between the Protectorate of the Western Regions and other countries. In terms of the number of conquered countries, it is naturally far from being able to compare with Luo Shi as the Protectorate.

Luo Shi said with a smile: "Without His Majesty's full support, I would not have made such a feat."

This is not just a compliment, the army is fighting for money and food, without Liu Dan's spare no effort support, Luo Shi can only take [-] elites to go out.

That is absolutely no match for Dawan.

Liu Dan knew this very well, so he accepted all the compliments directly, and said quite proudly: "I have Sang Qing, and I have no worries about military expenses. The general guard only cares about fighting, and I will not lose a penny for military supplies. "

When Luo Shi heard about Sang Qing, he knew that he should be the most favored minister in the past two years, Da Sinonong Sang Hongyang.

Although it is only the chief minister now, Sang Hongyang's status is almost comparable to that of the prime minister. As the emperor's purse, there are rumors in Chang'an City that the emperor will soon let Sang Hongyang be the doctor of the imperial history and concurrently the post of grand minister. Si Nong and Da Si Shang became deputy prime ministers, entrusting him with the management of the finances of the entire Han Dynasty.

Sang Hongyang's financial ability is recognized within the Rock Group, but Legalist students have always been capable, and no one doubts them.

The key is that Sang Hongyang has the common problem of Legalism. Obviously, he can be less strict, but he insists on going to extremes, which makes people puzzled.

For example, during the Warring States period, the content of Wei State’s reform and Qi State’s reform content were actually very good, but the monarch was stupid and did not persevere, but the Qin Legalists insisted on creating an extreme farming and warfare system, which was very outrageous.

Sang Hongyang is like this now, obviously with Luoxin, the great financial steward, in front of him, he can restore production to enrich the treasury without hurting the people, but Sang Hongyang just wants to engage in those money-making techniques of fishing in a dry lake.

He knew everything, and he couldn't be more clear about the consequences of these policies, but in the end he still had to do that, and he existed entirely to maintain the emperor's rule, and he didn't have the slightest regard for the people.

Luo Shi rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "Then I'd like His Majesty to recommend Da Sinong for my minister."

……

Liu Dan sacrificed the pickled head of King Dawan in the imperial temple of the Han Dynasty. After Luo Shi defeated Dawan, he ordered people to exaggerate the strength of Dawan. In the hearts of the Han people, Dawan was a A big country with a population of millions and hundreds of thousands of soldiers, not an ordinary small country in the Western Regions with a population of tens of thousands and thousands of troops.

It should be known that the Xiongnu in the past had a population of only 200 million, which made Liu Dan feel very face-saving. Only by defeating such a big country can it demonstrate the strength of the Han Dynasty and the prosperity of the Wuwei of the Han Dynasty.

"My ancestors and ancestors, the head of King Dawan is just the beginning. Once he will lead my big man's iron cavalry, he will conquer a big world. But any direction that you can see will be the land of the big man. Will surrender at the feet of the emperor."

Liu Dan's heart was full of bold words, and the continuous victories of the Han army gave him unlimited confidence.

Time is rushing like running water, just in Liu Dan's rhetoric, several years have passed.

----

After the Dawan rebellion was put down, the sphere of influence of the Han Dynasty completely covered the Western Regions, and the Western Regions Protectorate officially became the highest administrative institution in the entire Western Regions. The Western Regions Great Protector is the highest administrative and military officer in the Western Regions. The Dawan area, as well as the more distant Kangju, Daxia and other countries, the political center of the Western Regions Protectorate is completely set in the Yishui River Valley, the Wushuang Marquis-Dunhuang County, these are two of the Han Dynasty's stable rule of the Western Regions. Whoever controls the big core area controls the Western Regions. ——"History of the Rise and Fall of the Han Dynasty"
