The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 554 Kucha Destroys the Country Today Adds Changes to Brother Gnar's Monthly Pass!

Ma Chao regained Dunhuang County very smoothly, and Qing Yijie Guizhang was no match for 'General Shenweitian' at all!
After recovering Dunhuang, the windfall was Cheng Gongying, Han Sui was dead, Cheng Gongying joined Ma Teng's camp under Ma Xiu's persuasion, and became Ma Teng's mastermind.

Cheng Gongying's simple decision to join Ma Teng has two purposes.

The first is to keep Han Sui's family. With Han Sui's death, his family has become a rootless water. Coupled with Han Sui's stinky reputation, someone may want to take revenge on the family.

No matter what, Han Sui was Ma Teng's sworn brother, and with Ma Teng's reputation in Xiliang now, there was no problem in sheltering Han Sui's family.

The second is that Cheng Gongying wants to avenge Han Sui. Although the latter has various faults, he will not end up like this!
It was Pan Luozhi, the Tubo, who contributed to this result. The only one who can take revenge on Pan Luozhi and Tubo is Ma Teng.

When Ma Chao brought Cheng Gongying and others to see Ma Teng with the victorious momentum of restoring Dunhuang, the latter was overjoyed and had already outlined a plan to counterattack Xixia in his mind.

In short, Ma Teng is going further and further on the road to defending China's land!
The situation in Xiliang has come to an end, and the line of sight continues to the west, out of the Western Regions outside Yumen Pass. This year, there have been major changes in the central part of the Western Regions.

A civil war broke out in Wusun, a powerful country in the northwest, and Wusun Khan's younger brother, King Karzab of St. Han, launched a rebellion under Handerang's instigation!
Karzab set off from Manas, the later generation, all the way west to attack Chigu City (in the later Kyrgyzstan) where Wusun Khan was located.

In addition, King Yarkand is completely obsessed with the fake "Princess Shuangyang" Xiao Hunian. He doesn't go to court every day and all the officials can't see King Yarkand.

For Liao and Yelu Abaoji, the more chaotic neighbors are the good neighbors.

Now that both Wusun and Shache are stuck in their own quagmire, Yelu Abaoji is going to clean up Qiuci who was so escaped before!

Yelu Abaoji first asked Xiao Hunian to continue to stabilize King Shache, so that news would be passed on, especially large-scale military operations.

After that, he ordered his confidant Yelu Helu to be the marshal of the northern line, and led Yelu Talie, Gao Mohan, and Yelu Wuzhi to set off from Dongqiani (later Urumqi City) to attack through Beishan.

He also asked King Wu Mahai of Shanshan to take Tu Tianlong, Tu Tianhu and others to set off from the western city of Khotan and walk along the Khotan River to attack Taqian City, the important town of Qiuci from the west (the original location of the Western Regions Protectorate of the Western Han Dynasty, and later Aksu east).

And Yelu Abaoji personally led the army to the west, starting from Weili (later Korla City), hitting Wulei (later Tiemenguan City) and attacking Yancheng (later Kuqa), the capital of Kucha.

In the absence of threats from other countries, Yelu Abaoji can almost go out, leaving only one army for Yeluxiu to guard against Shache's sudden move, and the other three armies encircle Kucha. The purpose is self-evident. The previous king of Kucha jumped like that.

When the King of Kucha received the all-out war from the Liao Kingdom, he naturally did not sit still. First, he sent envoys to Wusun and Shache to ask for reinforcements.

Let Ma Mahan be the commander, Wu Shanluo, Ha Tianshun, Shi Tianbao guard against the Wumahai West Route Army,

Tong Fan led Marshal Ya Libo, Qi Qinglong, Qi Qinghu, and Yin Guangling to welcome Yelu Helu on the northern line, and the other generals followed the foreign imperial driver in Kucha to resist Yelu Abaoji's invasion.

However, in such a dangerous situation in the Kucha Kingdom, the power minister Qi Luo Duobao secretly sent people to the Liao Kingdom to find Xiao Siwen, so there was obviously nothing wrong with it.

Wu Mahai and Ma Mahan on the southern line are already old rivals. They have met more than once, and they are evenly matched in terms of martial arts and commanding troops.

And there is a mountain range in the south of Beishan. The locals call it Duantouya, which is the only way to go south.

In addition, although Yeluhelu, Marshal of the Northern Front, fought bravely, he didn't have much resourcefulness, let alone Deng Ai's sense of jumping off a cliff. In short, he was entangled.

So the focus of this war is the duel between Yelu Abaoji and King Kucha!
The fortress in the east of Kucha, Wulei, literally means a fortress built on the black mountain, directly straddling the road stuck in the Tianshan Mountains.

This place is built by the mountains, and the Gobi Desert is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Yelu Abaoji attacked for more than ten days in a row and lost a lot of troops but was helpless.

Two months later, Yelu Abaoji was still stuck in Wulei. Xiao Talin suggested to Yelu Abaoji to bypass Wulei and go west from Jishishui (Tarim River) through the desert to reach the hinterland of Kucha.

Yelu Abaoji was overjoyed when he heard that, and immediately asked Xiao Talin to lead Han Chang and Yelusha to lead the troops to go to Shishishui.

At this time, the Liao Kingdom had already divided its troops into three groups, and this time it will be divided into another route. Naturally, Xiao Talin would not be given too many troops, only a few thousand.

But these thousands of people, like a sharp knife, bypassed the weak defensive area and plunged into the vital point of the Kucha Kingdom!
Xiao Talin, Yelusha, and Han Chang led the army along Jishishui, through the Tianshan Mountains, and across the virgin forest to Yancheng, the capital of Kucha.

When Xiao Talin arrived in Yancheng, he basically looked the same as Deng Ai after crossing Jiangyou, but even so the army exploded with amazing fighting power, breaking through Yancheng in just two days!
Xiao Talin, who took down Yancheng, directly attacked Ma Mahan's army on the west road without any hesitation.

So far, Kucha can be said to have been destroyed. The North Line Tongfan chose to surrender to Yelu Abaoji. The last powerful minister in Wulei City, Qiluo Duobao, launched a coup. The king of Kucha was killed, and the royal family was slaughtered. Kaesong surrendered.

After Kucha was destroyed, Yelu Abaoji admired Ma Mahan very much and asked Wu Mahai to persuade him to surrender. The two had been fighting for a long time, and there was a feeling of sympathy.

It is rare for Ma Ma to lose his country, and he no longer stubbornly resists. In addition, Yelu Abaoji's reward is so generous that Ma Mahan cannot refuse.

Yelu Abaoji granted Ma Mahan the title of King of Kucha, with the same status as Wu Mahai, king of Shanshan, and led the old Kucha army.

Including Mamahan, Tongmi, Datuo, Ha Tianshun, Shi Tianbao, Qi Qinglong, Qi Qinghu, Yin Guangling, Long Feihai, Ya Libo, Wu Shanluo, Ha Chengshou, Sha Mianhu, Ai Jinxiong, Han Enbao, Ha Cheng Fu, Dan Danwen, Hai Tuolong, Duan Wei and other former Kucha generals surrendered to the Liao Kingdom.

Yelu Abaoji, who annexed the Kingdom of Kucha, became powerful and tyrannical, and did not stop his pace of expansion. After the first battle with Qiucha, he fought with Dawan and Congling in the west, and won a complete victory without exception!

Wusun was in civil strife, and King Shache became more and more stupid. It can be said that it was only a matter of time before the Western Regions were unified by Yelu Abaoji.
