The Three Kingdoms

"Yes!"

Zhao Zheng, a thousand households in Jinyiwei Guishuang Qianhu Office, was ordered to leave the camp.

"Now I'm afraid that Han Sui will not cooperate!" Zhuge Liang expressed his worry: "If he becomes the king of the Western Regions, then he will abandon us!"

"Han Sui used to be a vassal anyway, so he wouldn't be so short-sighted!" Zhou Tai said, "He should be very clear that sooner or later the territory of the Protectorate of the Western Regions will be occupied by our Great Wu!"

"I'm afraid he won't be able to figure it out!"

"Wait for a month, if there is no news for a month, we will not rely on them and fight by ourselves!" Zhou Tai said: "Kong Ming, you prepare the second plan. Once Han Sui's troops don't go south, we will see if we can get out of the Guishuang Army." !"

"it is good!"

Zhuge nodded brightly.

"Obey you, now I am announcing the military order. At noon tomorrow, the whole army will retreat a hundred miles and completely withdraw from the Fulousha city!"

"promise!"

The generals were ordered to leave the camp to prepare for the retreat.

"General, I'm also going to prepare food and grass matters!"

Zhuge Liang cupped his hands.

"Wait, Kong Ming, sit down, I have something to tell you!"

Zhou Tai watched the generals leave, left the sand table, sat in front of the military discussion table, and pointed to the seat next to him.

"The general has something to say!"

Zhuge Liang sat down and smiled slightly.

"Kong Ming, although you are a surrendered general, you have been my chief of staff for a long time. During this time, you can be regarded as doing your best and there is no shirk. I have already begun to trust you, so I want to ask In your mind, how do you feel about our soldiers of Great Wu?"

Zhou Tai narrowed his eyes slightly and asked.

"very good!"

Zhuge Liang pondered for a while, and then said: "Back then, the Chu army, Shu army, and even the current Wei army were far behind your Wu army, not to mention combat effectiveness, but in terms of military discipline, your soldiers and horses are definitely the most rigorous! "

"Then I sincerely invite you to join the Wu army, are you willing?" Zhou Tai said.

"General, I don't quite understand what you said. I'm already the chief of staff of the Haiying camp!"

Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly.

"You are human here, but your heart is not here!"

Zhou Tai hit the nail on the head, and then said sincerely: "I hope you can sincerely become a Wu person. You are a capable person. Great Wu is your stage. Don't keep thinking about the past. The Kingdom of Shu is destroyed. This is fact!"

"Who can say what will happen in the future!"

Zhuge Liang sighed: "What I can promise you now is that I will do my best to assist you in the Western Expedition and fight Guishuang. I will do my best to fight Sabbath, or even Rome, because I also want to see , Is there really a glorious Roman Empire in this far western land!"

Things in the Central Plains.He forgetfully put it aside, unwilling to think about it, but now he really wants to see, how big is this world?

Roman Empire?

Is there really an empire in this world that can rival the Central Plains?

The interest in his heart is getting stronger and stronger!

--------------

The Protectorate of the Western Regions is full of small countries.

In a broad sense, the Western Regions refers to the territory west of the Han Dynasty, which can extend all the way to Europe, but in a narrow sense, it refers to the area outside Yumen Pass, which was established by the Han Dynasty.That is to say, it refers to the Xinjiang region of later generations.

In today's Central Plains, most people refer to the Western Regions, referring to the territory of the Protectorate of the Western Regions.

When it comes to the Protectorate of the Western Regions, we have to start with the Silk Road in the Han Dynasty. During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian was ordered to go to the Western Regions to contact the Da Yuezhi and attack the Xiongnu tribe.

Although Zhang Qian did not complete the task of contacting the Da Yuezhi, he acted as a line between the Central Plains and the Western Regions and opened the way to the Western Regions.It guided the Silk Road and strengthened the connection between the Western Regions and the Central Plains.

In 108 BC, soldiers of the Western Han Dynasty left Yumen Pass and broke through Loulan.Che Shi, Qiuci, and after defeating Dawan and other small countries in the Western Regions, stationed troops in Luntai and Quli to garrison the fields, and established the "Envoy Xiaowei" to manage the garrison affairs.

60 BC.In order to manage the unified Western Regions, the Western Han Dynasty established the Protectorate of the Western Regions in Wulei City, which is now Luntai County.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, in order to strengthen the control of the Western Regions, the Central Plains sent Banchao to conquer the Western Regions, pacify the Western Regions, and rebuild the Protectorate of the Western Regions.

However, during the reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the war in Liangzhou caused the court to lose control of Liangzhou and also cut off the control of the Hexi Corridor. Naturally, the Central Plains and the Western Regions also lost contact.

The Protectorate of the Western Regions has lost allegiance to the imperial court, so they can only stand on their own in the Western Regions. Facing the countries of the Western Regions, they can only be suppressed in a city. They always thought that there was civil strife in the Central Plains, and soldiers and horses from the Central Plains would not appear in the Western Regions. .

But soldiers and horses from the Central Plains suddenly appeared in the Western Regions, and the countries in the Western Regions began to panic.

About two months ago, a group of elite soldiers from the Central Plains came out of Yumen Pass and went straight into the Western Regions, which alarmed several big countries in the Western Regions, Wusun, Dawan, Qiuci and other countries.

In fact, this group of soldiers and horses is Han Sui's remnant soldiers who fled from Liangzhou in a hurry.

Han Sui was pursued and beaten by the Wei army, and when he was in danger, he followed Li Nie's suggestion, abandoned Liangzhou, went north from Jincheng to Dunhuang, and then went west from Dunhuang, all the way to the Western Regions.

In the Central Plains, facing Cao Wei, he was just a bereaved dog, but after entering the Western Regions, he has [-] elites, [-] young and strong, and a total of [-] soldiers and horses, which has become an invincible force.

On the banks of the Tarim River.

Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were stationed, and above the camp, there were battle flags in Korean characters flying.

In the main camp of the Chinese army, Han Sui's body stood in front of a marching map, with a gloomy look in his eyes: "The five thousand soldiers and horses of the Western Regions Protectorate in Gancheng are not willing to surrender to us?"

It was very difficult for him to enter the Western Regions. Along the way, the sky was filled with sand, and many people were killed and injured, and they walked out of the desert one by one.

After entering the Protectorate of the Western Regions, he began to attack the city.

But soon they ran into a problem. The former Protectorate of the Western Regions actually had no contact with the Central Plains for more than ten years. .

"Your Majesty, Ban Lu and Gai Ling think that we are not the Han army, so they are not willing to surrender to us!"

Yan Xing stood up and said in a deep voice.

The Protectorate of the Western Regions now regards the Protectorate as a team road, and the long history as a mausoleum.

It is rumored that Ban Lu is the son of Ban Chao, and he is the descendant of Shi Banyong, the governor of the Western Regions after Ban Chao. Although Ban Chao has returned to China, Ban Yong's lineage has been living in the Western Regions.

And Gai Ling also came from Dunhuang, and can be regarded as the last long history of the Western Regions in the Han Dynasty.

The two of them held [-] soldiers and horses and sat firmly in the dry city, but they blocked Han Sui and others from going south to the Guishuang Empire.To be continued.
