The Three Kingdoms: Summoned generals at the beginning, shocking Cao Cao

Chapter 232 Revealing your identity, the royal conquest

Two days later, Huo Qubing returned in a hurry.

As soon as he returned to Xihai County, he immediately noticed Liu Bian's arrival.

"Your Majesty, why are you here?" Huo Qubing said.

"I came at the right time. If I don't come this time, what are you going to do?" Liu Bian advised.

"Your Majesty, do you already know about the Western Regions?" Huo Qubing asked.

"Well, I already know that Wei Qing has really encountered a big problem this time." Liu Bian said.

After many days of understanding, Liu Bian and Huo Qubing already knew the scale of the Western Anxi Empire.

"Your Majesty, I just found out that the Anxi Empire has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, hundreds of cities, and millions of horses, and the distance is far away. It seems that it is not easy to deal with." Huo Qubing said.

"What's the matter, you are an imposing hussar general, and you are also a general of Zhenguo, are you afraid?" Liu Bian asked seriously.

When Huo Qubing heard this, he immediately burst into pride, "How is it possible, Your Majesty, I am not afraid!"

"Okay, since you're not afraid, it's easy!" Liu Bian nodded and said.

Immediately, Liu Bian continued to speak.

"Wei Qing has been conquering the Western Regions for many days, and when he arrived, all the places surrendered, but most of them were small or weak countries, and this Anxi Empire is so provocative. If they let them go easily, how can they order the various vassal states?"

"So, this time we must punish Anxi Nation properly!" Liu Bian said.

"Your Majesty, are you really planning to use troops?" Huo Qubing asked.

"Well, that's right, soldiers must be used." Liu Bian said.

"Then how does His Majesty plan to enter the army?"

"How to enter the army has not been specifically determined. These situations must be discussed with Wei Qing." Liu Bian said.

"Then let's go to the Protectorate of the Western Regions first?"

"Well, that's right, go to the Protectorate of the Western Regions first, but you must take all the young and strong nomads around." Liu Bian said.

Although he hadn't figured out how to target the Parthian Empire, one thing was very clear, that is, there must be sufficient troops.

According to calculations based on the current strength of Wei Qing's troops, he has 2 Han soldiers and 3 Xianbei, Qiang and Hu servants under him.

As for Huo Qubing, there are 4 soldiers of the Han army, and about 5 servants of the Xianbei Qiang and Hu Dinglings.

The two parties add up to a total of 14 people!

Subtracting the approximately 10 troops and horses that must remain behind, approximately [-] troops can be mobilized.

This [-] army can guarantee the deterrence against the Parthian Empire.

In the event of a major battle, less than 10 people are very dangerous.

In the end, under Liu Bian's order, all the nomadic tribes around Xihai County were young and strong, and they all marched with the army to the Protectorate of the Western Regions.

This time, Liu Bian no longer concealed his identity, but revealed his identity openly.

"The emperor of the Han Dynasty will personally conquer!"

When the news spread, the entire Xihai County was boiling.

Those nomadic barbarian tribes all wept with joy.

The emperor of the Han Dynasty personally led the conquest, and they must have made great contributions as the soldiers and horses of the dragon.

Among them, Yuwen Xunniyan, the little leader of Yuwen Xianbei who has just become a relative of the emperor, is the most proud.

The nostrils of the Xianbei leader were already so proud that they were about to turn upside down.

In Xihai County, Liu Bian played the banner of imperial conquest of the Anxi Empire in the Western Regions, and then announced the imperial edict to confer Yu Wenzhao as a concubine.

"Your Majesty, you are biased. She has just arrived, so why is she sitting on an equal footing with me?"

As soon as Sun Shangxiang heard the news, she immediately acted coquettishly and became angry.

Liu Bian was very tolerant towards her, "Now I want to conquer by myself, those Xianbei tribes are all watching one by one, it is too cost-effective to confer the position of Yu Wenzhao's concubine and let them work hard one by one, don't mess around !"

For Liu Bian's explanation, Sun Shangxiang could only obey.

However, she also had a sigh of relief in her heart, she was determined not to return to Luoyang, and would continue to follow Liu Bian westward.

In the end, Liu Bian had no choice but to take Sun Shangxiang and Yu Wenzhao together to continue to gather an army and prepare to march to the Western Regions.

A few days later.

"Your Majesty, the supplies from Liangzhou in Longxi are already ready. We just need to go along the road, and they will replenish."

Huo Qubing came to report in a hurry.

"Okay, now that we have the luggage, let's set off immediately."

Liu Bian immediately ordered.

Subsequently, tens of thousands of main forces and servants of the Han army gathered around Xihai County began to march westward.

At the post stations along the way, the supplies transported from Liangzhou were already full.

All the nomadic soldiers accompanying them all the way were happy as if they were celebrating the new year.

Although they don't know what festival the Chinese New Year is.

However, for this march, because of Liu Bian's personal conquest, the supplies sent by Liangzhou were of the highest standard.

Each of the accompanying nomadic soldiers can eat three meals a day.

You must know that the life of these nomadic tribes is extremely difficult. They eat two meals a day throughout the year, and even when they are busy or lack of food, they often eat one meal for several days.

Now it turns out to be three meals a day, isn't that just like the Chinese New Year!

When the army marched outside Xihai County, after many days of marching, these nomadic soldiers sincerely worshiped Liu Bian as a god just because of the problem of food.

In other words, the status of immortals in their hearts is not as high as that of Liu Bian.

When you are hungry, worshiping the gods does not work.

But being loyal to the emperor of the Han Dynasty is enough to eat every day.

These prairie men are very simple in their thinking, whoever can feed them well, who can make them rich, is a very good person, that is the master of their lives, that is, their master.

Under such circumstances, the original rule of the tribal leaders almost collapsed one after another.

You are a tribal leader, fooling around with you, starving for nine meals in three days, what a fart.

When the army marched to Yiwu, these nomadic soldiers who followed all asked the emperor of the Han Dynasty, intending to break away from their original identity as a barbarian and wholeheartedly serve the Han with a new identity.

For this kind of thing, Liu Bian was naturally very happy.

It is great news that these nomadic soldiers can completely return to their hearts without any effort.

However, the influence of each tribal leader cannot be ignored.

Now that the war is imminent, and it is another expedition of thousands of miles, we must make good use of all our strength.

Liu Bian just made a compromise.

Anyway, the leaders of the nomadic tribes kept expressing their loyalty, and that was simply a strategy to take care of both sides.

When the army arrived in Yiwu, Liu Bian held a meeting here.
