Killing System, the Ultimate Killer

Spread the news that the army defeated Hu Jie to the whole Zhangye, and publicize the strength of the Wei army.

This is called controlling public opinion!

From the ideological point of view, publicize the strength of the Wei army and deter those who have ideas.

The destruction of the Hu Jie army announced that the land of Zhangye was incorporated into the territory of Wei.

Soon, with the spread of Wang Wu and others, the news that the Wei Tianjun destroyed the 200,000 Hu Jie army in one battle and completely killed the Hu Jie spread quickly throughout the land of Zhangye.

At first, some people did not believe it.

But when they saw that the Wei Tianjun occupied Shangdang City and took over the Hu Kingdom Palace, people believed that the Hu Jie army was really destroyed.

After Yang Ye led the army to occupy Shangdang City, he sent his subordinates to continue to strangle the Hu Jie people.

The whole Zhangye area will be the territory of Wei in the future. How could the Hu Jie people be allowed to survive?

"Great, the damned Hu Jie people have finally been wiped out."

"Hahaha, the heavens have eyes, those beasts have finally died."

"Welcome the king's army, welcome the great Wei army!!"

Some people began to shout this slogan.

Although it is not known who shouted this, the infected people of Zhangye also shouted it.

"Hu Bing, Zhou Yuan, you two, lead the army to Qimen Town, strangle the Hu Jie people and the army there, and guard the pass." Sheng Huaian asked Hu Bing and Zhou Yuan to prevent the plateau Hu Jie from leaving the plateau.

"Yes, General!"

Hu Bing's army has 10,000 troops, Zhou Yuan's army has 10,000 troops, plus 30,000 Rongdi slaves, a total of 50,000 people.

"Qin Lin, your army will go to Gemu Town, guard there, and support Hu Bing and others." Sheng Huaian ordered.

"Yes!!"

Qin Lin took the order and led his men to set off.

Sheng Huaian deployed 80,000 troops on the border of the plateau to prevent the plateau Hu Jie.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Sheng Huaian led Wu Cheng, Xiao Chuyi's troops, Chi Tiansheng's heavy armored cavalry, as well as auxiliary troops and baggage soldiers, to Shangdang City.

Along the way, they met the people of Zhangye, and those people were no longer afraid of them.

"Welcome the king's army!!"

The people in the small towns along the way shouted one by one. There was not a decent city in the whole Zhangye.

Compared with the Central Plains, this place is backward, full of deserts, grasslands, and Gobi.

Although the territory is comparable to a state of Wei, the population is only 200,000 or 300,000, comparable to a county town.

Those people, one by one, were hungry and yellow, thin and weak, and their clothes were tattered.

It is conceivable that this land has been destroyed by the Hu Jie.

It is not easy to govern the land of Zhangye.

Seeing this scene on the land of Zhangye, Sheng Huaian has already written a letter and sent it to Luojing, asking the empress to send literati here to manage and educate, so that the people here can become the people of Wei.

Leading the army to Shangdang City, Yang Ye came to greet them with his army.

Looking at Shangdang City in front of him, Sheng Huaian felt that it was not as good as Hexi City. Is this the king city of Hu Jie? !

"Is this the king city of Hu Kingdom?" When he saw this so-called king city, Wu Cheng couldn't help but ask.

This is not as tall and luxurious as Hexi City, which he supervised and built.

"It's a small country with few people in a foreign land. It's not bad to have such a king city." Xiao Chuyi said.

"I took it for granted." Wu Cheng shook his head.

This Zhangye land, in fact, is only equivalent to a state of Wei.

If it weren't for the Hu Jie claiming to be king here, this place would not even be considered a country.

Among the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, any country is much larger than Zhangye.

"Let's go, enter the city!" Sheng Huaian took the lead and walked into Shangdang City.

The Hu Kingdom Palace also became Sheng Huaian's temporary palace.

"Huaian, these are the gold and silver we sealed in the palace of Shangdang City." Yang Ye pointed to the gold, silver and jewelry in the box.

"Uncle, how much is it?" Sheng Huaian asked.

"If it is calculated as silver, there are more than five million." Yang Ye said.

"Just this?" Sheng Huaian was a little disgusted.

These gold and silver are not enough for the Sima family's property he plundered.

Hu Jie plundered Zhangye for a hundred years, and only plundered this little gold and silver.

"Leave three million gold and silver for your future military expenses to guard Zhangye." Sheng Huaian said.

"Well, I will keep half." Yang Ye nodded.

"The other half will be used to develop the economy and people's livelihood in Zhangye." Sheng Huaian said after thinking for a while.

This Zhangye also needs to be developed. In the future, Zhangye will also be an important thoroughfare on the trade road in the Western Regions, and it still needs to be built.

In Zhangye, all the Hu and Jie people were killed and cleared. Now it is time to govern Zhangye, guard this land, prevent the counterattack of the Hu and Jie people on the plateau, and prevent the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions.

Han Jiangxue, who was far away in Luojing, read the content written by Sheng Huaian again and again after receiving the news sent back by Sheng Huaian.

The Hexi army has captured Zhangye and opened up the trade route in the Western Regions.

Sheng Huaian asked the empress to send people who govern the local area to Zhangye to carry out governance work and include Zhangye in the territory of Wei.

She never thought that Sheng Huaian would be so fast. He just defeated the Xiongnu and now took Zhangye.

This made Wei add another state of territory.

"Well, King Sheng Wu is worthy of being the heaven-sent star of my Wei. He has made great contributions to expanding the territory."

"Come on, hurry up and call the left prime minister, Wang Shangshu, Qian Shangshu, Zuo Shangshu and others. I have something important to do." Han Jiangxue shouted outside the hall.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Immediately, the eunuchs serving outside the hall hurried to invite several important officials in the court.

Soon, the left prime minister Fu Xiangru, the Minister of Revenue Zuo Yan, the Minister of War Wang Cheng, the Minister of Rites Qian Cheng and others came to the Zhenghe Hall.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"

"My Lords, please encourage us!" Empress Han Jiangxue raised her hand, indicating that there was no need for courtesy.

"I wonder what is the urgent matter that your Majesty has summoned us for." Wang Cheng said.

"My dear ministers, please take a look." Han Jiangxue took out the battle report sent back by Sheng Huaian.

After everyone saw it, they were shocked at first, and then excited.

"Great, King Shengwu is mighty!" Wang Cheng, the Minister of War, couldn't help but dance with joy.

The army conquered Zhangye, which was a great joy and a great achievement.

"King Shengwu is indeed a great general of Wei. He easily took Zhangye."

"Your Majesty, congratulations! Now that King Shengwu has taken Zhangye, it means that the trade route to the Western Regions has been opened." The happiest person is Zuo Yan, the Minister of Revenue.

Opening the trade route to the Western Regions and trading with the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions can earn countless silver and enrich the national treasury.

He is in charge of the national treasury. Once there is money in the national treasury, he will have a firm back when speaking in the court.

When the national treasury has no money, the military expenditure of the national army is a headache for him.

Empress Han Jiangxue smiled and nodded, saying: "My Lords, you are all important officials in the court. I called you here to discuss the situation in Zhangye."

"We can't give up the land that King Shengwu conquered with great difficulty."

Left Prime Minister Fu Xiangru nodded and said: "Yes, the land conquered by our Wei army is the territory of our Wei. Naturally, we can't give it up. We have to send officials to govern it."

"There are still a group of Jinshi in the Hanlin Academy who are revising books. How about sending them to govern Zhangye?" Minister of Personnel Fan Qi said.

"This proposal is very good. Zhangye is a foreign land. Let our Wei talents go there to spread our Wei culture and assimilate them. In a few decades, Zhangye will completely become the territory of our Wei." Minister of Rites Qian Cheng said.

"Set up Chengdu Guard House in Zhangye and bring it under the administrative jurisdiction of Wei."

Several important officials in the court quickly discussed sending people to Zhangye.

Empress Han Jiangxue issued an edict to announce to the world that the Zhangye Protectorate was established, a prefect and several county magistrates were appointed, and a group of scholars were sent to Zhangye.

As soon as this imperial edict was issued, the entire Wei Dynasty was in an uproar.
