At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

After destroying all the surrounding military facilities, the Wei army completely surrounded Guishan City on December 23.

After that, the Wei army cut off the water source in the city and strictly ordered the people in the city to put down their weapons and surrender, so as to save their lives.

The king of Dawan did not dare to surrender at all, and he had hope for reinforcements from Kangju and Guishuang, so he refused to surrender.

This attitude angered Guo Jin again.

He didn't just come here for the bloody horse.

He responded to the King of Dawan by besieging him from all sides, and gave the King of Dawan a more blunt warning with a large number of fierce fire oil tanks and thunder that shook the sky.

After the long-range fire attack, the Wei army began to besiege the city from all sides, storming Guishan City, and did not have any correspondence with King Dawan at all.

On the other hand, the reinforcements expected by the King of Dawan also had some changes.

The Guishuang Empire was in a dilemma between the choice of entering troops or not.

At this time, a large number of nobles and courtiers who had commercial and trade relations with the state of Wei came forward to advise the emperor not to lose the big because of small things.

The friendly relationship with the Wei people and trade exchanges are one of the important pillars of Guishuang Empire's finances. If it suffers losses, Guishuang's financial situation, which has just improved, will take a sharp turn for the worse.

Emperor Guishuang thought about it and felt that it made sense.

The commercial trade with Wei State is one of the largest financial income in recent years. If this income is lost, wouldn't it be a big loss?

However, some people think that if Dawan is allowed to be wiped out by Wei State, Wei State will be able to meddle in regional politics and break the regional political balance. This is a very dangerous thing.

The Wei people wiped out the Dawan Kingdom and extended their tentacles of power to this region. This is a very pessimistic thing.

According to the previous intelligence, many countries in the Western Regions are finished. Basically, this war can be characterized as the battle of Wei State to expand its territory.

Keeping Dawan means more to Guishuang than keeping commercial interests.

Emperor Guishuang felt that this also made sense.

After much deliberation, Emperor Guishuang decided to send troops and not allow Wei people to extend their power to Central Asia——

They also want to monopolize commercial interests in Central Asia.

This will allow the Wei people to come by themselves and do business directly with the Parthians and the Romans. How can they still make money from the Parthians and the Romans as second-hand dealers?

He really didn't believe that the people of Wei would stop doing business and not take the Silk Road because of a conflict.

Therefore, he decided to arrest the envoys sent by the state of Wei and put them in prison, and then sent troops to support the state of Dawan, beat off the people of the state of Wei, and maintained the regional situation.

As a result, before he had time to act, rebellion broke out in the south of the country.

Some people who were dissatisfied with the emperor for a long time, perhaps because of disputes over economic interests, were unhappy with the emperor's own monopoly of business and trade with the Wei Empire, and couldn't bear it, so civil strife broke out.

The rebellion was in full swing, with tens of thousands of people participating, and the momentum was so great that it tended to sweep across the south. Emperor Guishuang was so frightened that he immediately stopped thinking about fighting Wei.

Fortunately, the envoy of Wei State has not been caught, otherwise it will be really irreparable.

When the time comes to fight on two fronts, he will be in a dilemma, with the enemy army on one side and internal rebels on the other, he will be really miserable.

Feeling the blessing of luck, Emperor Guishuang felt extremely fortunate.

Now, he can't intervene in the war between Wei Guo and Dawan. Now he only hopes that the people of Dawan will fight for themselves, or that the people of Kangju will work harder to drive the people of Wei back and protect his interests by the way.

He wants to concentrate on putting down the rebellion.

What will happen in the future is beyond his control.

Chapter 1263 One Thousand 170 The Three Old Zhangs Have Been Fighting For 20 Years, It All Depends on Being Careful (Repair)

Unlike what happened to Emperor Guishuang, the interior of Kangju State was relatively stable.

After learning of the Dawan Kingdom's call for help, King Kangju thought of the reason why his lips were dead and his teeth were cold, and felt that it was very meaningful to keep Dawan Kingdom to protect him from disasters, so he decided to support Dawan Kingdom and fight against Wei Dynasty together without much effort. empire.

By the way, the envoy Guo Jin sent to persuade Kangju people not to support Dawan Kingdom was arrested and put in prison to show his determination to support Dawan Kingdom.

So when the Wei army besieged Guishan City, 2 support troops from Kangju State entered the border of Dawan and quickly launched support to Guishan City.

There were also some local troops from the Dawan Kingdom to support them. They gathered 1 people in total, and a total of 3 people rushed to help Guishan City.

Guishan City itself is defended by [-] troops, and there is no shortage of defensive soldiers and horses. Although the water source was cut off by the Wei army, it can still support it in a short time.

As long as the reinforcements arrive in time and the siege can be lifted, then this situation can be broken.

At this moment, Wei Jun has learned that Kang Juguo sent [-] troops to help Dawanguo.

"They also understand the truth of being cold-hearted, but they don't know that our army doesn't intend to invade Kangju country at all. Such actions are really extremely stupid."

Guo Jin was very angry when he heard that the envoy he sent was arrested and put in prison, and decided to teach Kang Juguo a lesson.

No matter how famous their reputation is, there will always be some idiots who will not shed tears when they see the coffin, and they have to be hit hard to know the heights of the heavens and the earth.

That's good, just let Wei Jun try the opponent's weight. If the opponent is really useless, then there will be many benefits to be gained in the future.

On the other hand, he heard that there was civil strife in Guishuang Kingdom, so it was impossible to intervene in the Dawan War, and he felt very happy.

In this way, there are only two opponents that the Wei army needs to deal with, two stupid regional powers, and a small country in front of the Wei Empire.

Guo Jin immediately held a military meeting and asked the generals about countermeasures, and the generals' opinions were quite unified.

While continuing to attack the city, they defeated Kangju's reinforcements head-on, using the heads of Kangju soldiers to frighten the will of the Dawan army in the city to resist, making them lose their determination to continue resisting, thus breaking through this fortified city in Central Asia.

Guo Jin also asked who could defeat Kangju's reinforcements with an army smaller than Kangju's reinforcements, because the main force would be used to siege the city.

So the generals except Cao Ren stood up and fought for the battle.

Among them, Zhang Fei has the loudest voice.

"From the Jingjue Kingdom to the Dawan Kingdom, all the battles have been given to you, and the position of the siege has also been given to you. This last battle, why don't you let me fight? I have given up enough!"

This is true, the task of besieging and attacking Guishan City from all sides has been handed over to other generals, and Zhang Fei still hasn't got a position to fight.

Seeing Zhang Fei's red eyes about to eat people, Guo Jin couldn't help but laugh.

Like his father, Guo Jin also likes Zhang Fei, a straightforward and brave general, especially Zhang Fei is quite methodical and clever in fighting, which is really different from ordinary reckless men.

So Guo Jin made up his mind.

"In that case, I will leave this battle to General Zhang. General Zhang, do you have any ideas on how to fight this battle?"

"Thoughts? Hehe, Your Highness, I didn't say that there are thousands of enemies in the world. There are many enemies that Lao Zhang has never seen. He has never fought against Kang Ju's army before. This time, he just went to see how Kang Ju's army is doing." If it’s not easy to clean up, then just put it away when it’s good, if it’s easy to clean up, Lao Zhang will go directly to Kang Juguo to clean them up!”

Zhang Fei boasted Haikou.

Guo Jin laughed, shook his head, and said, "Kangju country is a big country, and its national strength is not weak. According to our information, Kangju country can stand on a par with Anxi and Guishuang. It cannot be wiped out by a single army, so we should be cautious." Above all, General Zhang must not underestimate the enemy."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, Lao Zhang has been fighting for 20 years, all thanks to being careful."

Zhang Fei patted himself on the chest, happily took the soldier talisman and went to dispatch troops.

It was detected that the Kangju reinforcements plus other Dawan reinforcements numbered almost 2, mostly cavalry, so Guo Jin transferred 2 cavalry to Zhang Fei, and asked Zhang Fei to use [-] people to fight the [-] reinforcements.

Basically, as long as you can stop the enemy and prevent the enemy from advancing, that's enough. This is the basic requirement.

But because this is the Wei army, a victorious Wei army, and it is still a cavalry equipped with cavalry artifacts, if it cannot achieve further results, it will feel like a defeat.

So Zhang Fei felt that after all, he should fight a good fight, fight beautifully and comfortably.

He sent someone to investigate and learned that the Kangju people's army did not have the same cavalry equipment as Wei's cavalry, so he relaxed a little.

After breaking through the Dawan people's defense line and entering the Dawan border, the road is smooth, which is very suitable for cavalry combat, especially for galloping horses. Therefore, in Zhang Fei's view, the decisive way to deal with the Kangju people is to use Wei's mature cavalry tactics.

After handing over the task of stopping Kangju's reinforcements to Zhang Fei, Guo Jin was not without worries. He was also worried about whether Zhang Fei could complete the task well.

Cao Ren saw his worry and comforted him by saying that Zhang Fei was a veteran general and was very good at using cavalry. If he could be defeated, the Wei army should retreat immediately and ask Guo Peng for reinforcements, and then invade Dawan on a large scale and seek a battle. The way to eliminate Kangju.

It is definitely not a good thing for Wei State to have such a powerful country and army in Central Asia.

Guo Jin could only nod his head.

"Today, I can realize how cumbersome and demanding it is to lead an army in battle. You have to worry about it all the time. All the generals who can lead tens of thousands of troops are all dragons and phoenixes. Uncle Zi Xiao, I underestimate you." There are many heroes in the world."

Guo Jin had such a realization during this period of time.

"It's not a bad thing to have such a feeling, but a good thing. Understanding the suffering of marching and fighting will be of great benefit to His Highness in the future. Marching and fighting is not a good thing after all. It costs a lot and may not produce good results. That's why the ancients often said Soldiers, the land of death and life, must be investigated."

Cao Ren continued to comfort Guo Jin.

Guo Jin smiled and nodded.

"Okay, let's continue, but this Guishan City is really strong, and it is so difficult to attack."

Guo Jin was dissatisfied with the fact that Guishan City had not been breached for almost ten days.

"After all, it is the capital of a country with a population of several 10. Wei Wei can be regarded as a good county. It is certainly not easy to attack, and there are many defenders in the city, so there must be enough water. Cut off, but more than ten days still can't let them run out of water."

Cao Ren stroked his beard: "It's not bad to capture this city in a month. Then, if General Zhang can achieve results faster and make the people of Dawan in the city despair, it should be easier to capture the city. .”

Guo Jin sighed.

"I thought the war would be over before the New Year's Eve, but now it seems that there are still fights, and I don't know how many people have had a bad New Year's Eve because of this battle."

"But winning this battle will benefit the entire Wei State. I have a very solid stronghold in the western border, which I can defend, and the entire Western Region can be preserved. I can also vigorously develop agricultural production here. His Majesty took this into consideration when transporting grain to the west of the river, and made every effort to conquer Dawan."

Cao Ren explained it this way.

Guo Jin felt right.

However, Guo Jin thought that he would have to wait a month to finally decide the winner, but it turned out that after only five days, good news came from Zhang Fei.

Chapter 1264 One thousand 170 four since ancient times

Zhang Fei beat Kangju's [-] reinforcements until the entire army was wiped out, and even chopped off the head of Kangju's chief general, and sent them over with the army flag.

It took a few days for Zhang Fei to be emotional in the past, a few days for sending someone to send the news back, and a day for fighting the war.

The generals of the Wei Army didn't feel much about this, they just thought it was a matter of course, so Guo Jin also thought it was a matter of course.

Everyone sees it this way, so this matter is settled like this.

To be honest, the cavalry of Kangju State is pretty good, both in terms of equipment and defense, they are pretty good, but they met the heavily armed Wei Army cavalry.

Under the charge of the cavalry of the Wei Army, the Kangju cavalry was ruthlessly torn apart, and they were stunned in an encounter, and the main general was killed.

So Zhang Fei felt that he hadn't enjoyed the fight yet, and asked Guo Jin if he had any idea of ​​fighting on the mainland of Kangju Country. If possible, he could lead troops to play forward.

It is estimated that if Kang Ju's army is like this, he can teach Kang Juguo a lesson, let Kang Juguo weigh his own weight, and let Kangjuguo become a vassal state by the way.

Guo Jin was happy and quickly called Zhang Fei back.

Kangju's army couldn't defeat Wei's army, but they have a large land area, a large population, and a lot of forces that can be mobilized. If they really want to fight, it won't take them ten days and a half months to defeat them.

Killing 2 of them now is a severe lesson and warning, telling them not to get involved in this matter.

If we really want to fight, we have to wait until the old land of Dawan Kingdom is fully controlled by the Wei Empire and resume production to provide military supplies.

At that time, there was a basis for asking Kang Juguo for an explanation.

The most important thing now is to bring down Dawan Kingdom.

For Kang Juguo, the focus is on warnings and demands for compensation, and peace will be maintained for the time being.

After that, Guo Jin decided to throw the head of General Kangju and the battle flag of Kangju's army into Guishan City, telling the soldiers and civilians in the city that Kangju's reinforcements had been wiped out, and the reinforcements they were looking forward to no longer existed.

In this way, it contributed to the collapse of the morale of the Guishan City army.

King Dawan knew that there was no one to save him, so he begged to surrender in fear and begged Wei Jun to spare his life, and he was willing to pay any price for it.

As a result, as soon as the news spread, there was a mutiny in the city.

Some generals of noble origin teamed up to play the traditional skill - kill the king, and killed the king of Dawan.

This was the same situation that Li Guangli encountered back then. The nobles of Dawan staged another mutiny, killed the king, asked the Wei army to surrender, and asked the Wei army to stop their troops. They were willing to pay any price for this.

The political system of Dawan Kingdom is unimaginable to the Han people. The king is just a representative of a group. In the eyes of the Dawan nobles, changing the king is nothing more than a normal thing.

When the Han army conquered Dawan, the nobles of Dawan united to kill the king, and the Han army established a new king. One year after the Han army left, the nobles of Dawan felt that the new king was too flattering to the Han country, so they killed the new king. and set up a newer king.

There is a sense of aristocratic democracy.

Changing the king is commonplace, so what is there to say?
