Chapter 661 Some hats cannot be worn
For the terrified former Che Shiren, Ma Chao had already demonstrated the methods of the King of Hell before, and naturally he would show the heart of the Bodhisattva.
He asked Long Zhishu to tell the former Lord Che Shi that Jiaohe City was requisitioned by the Han army, and the Han army did not take any of the property of the people and royal families in the city, and the people of Che Shi could be allowed to enter the city in batches in the next month. In order to make up for the losses of the Lord Che Shi and the people, the former capital of the Western Regions Chief State will become the new capital of the former Lord Che Shi, and Jiaohe City will be garrisoned by the Han army in the future.
When Master Cheshi heard this, he felt so sad and really didn't know how to describe it. He said in his heart: You said it earlier. If Jiaohe City could be used to exchange for the Feng Shui treasure land of the Chief Shi Mansion of the Western Regions, how could we have to resist? Just move over and live happily!
Because he didn't dare to say this, Ma Chao couldn't explain to him: "You have to be beaten up! First, this is the homework assigned to us by the Grand Tutor. We must not only complete it, but also perform well; second, it can open our eyes to Long Zhizhuo and the young men under his command, and dare not have any other thoughts in the future; third, it must also shock you so that you will not be both sides of the rat in the future and secretly engage in Wusun Kingdom."
Ma Chao successfully took over the former Che Shiguo. He was worried about who to stay in Jiaohe City and how many people he left, the Shadow Team members sent Zhao Xing's emergency order: "Ma Dai led 3,000 Xiliang cavalry to stay in Jiaohe City, and was fully responsible for defending Wusun's invasion and resettlement of the people of the former Che Shiguo. Ma Chao and Ma Xiu immediately led the remaining two thousand troops to escort the former Che Shiguo and the people back to the capital of the Chief Secretary of the Western Regions to join the army, and prepare to enter the pass from now on!"
When Ma Chao saw this order, he was immediately overjoyed. He knew that there was really a big war this time.
Just as Ma Chao led the Cheshi king and the people, Fang Yue, who was temporarily stationed in Dunhuang County, also received an order from Zhao Xing: "Immediately lead 4,000 reserve troops out of Yumen Pass to the direction of Jiaohe Ancient City, and complete the defense replacement with Ma Dai, who was stationed there!"
After Fang Yue saw Zhao Xing's handwritten letter from Shadow, although he had a lot of questions in his heart, the veteran general did not say a word and immediately ordered the soldiers in Dunhuang City to pack their bags and leave Yumen Pass like before.
On the way to march, Fang Yue said to the four thousand reserve brothers who were originally depressed: "After leaving Yumen Pass, Taifu swept across the Western Regions, and now he has taken over Yanqi, the former Cheshi, and Shanguo. The Grand Commander of Guan led his army westward and completed the meeting with Taifu. Now he stationed troops in Qucheng, and is watching the entire Western Regions!"
When the soldiers heard this, their morale was greatly boosted and they were no longer sluggish. The words Fang Yue said were not groundless. He learned about the whole story of Zhao Xing's layout calculation based on some information provided by the Shadow Team members.
The Cheshi king and tens of thousands of people who came to the capital of the Chief Secretariat of the Western Regions were frightened by the scene in front of him. After the split, the Cheshi kingdom had only more than 6,000 households and more than 40,000 people in the previous Cheshi kingdom. However, from the Han army and Yanqi soldiers who were evacuating in an orderly manner, they were no less than 50,000 troops. And the Han cavalry like the four hundred butchers led by Ma Dai passed by the Cheshi kingdom.
The frightened king of Che Shi, after several reminders from his family, looked up and saw a Han general in his thirty years old coming in front of him. The general who led his army to attack Che Shi in front of him stood behind him in a regular manner.
Long Zhixu, who was responsible for passing the message, said: "The general in front of you is the newly conferred King Pingxi of the Han Dynasty. In the future, all the 36 countries in the Western Regions will be ruled by him!"
In the past, the king of Che Shi hurriedly knelt down and saluted Zhao Xing, and Zhao Xing accepted it calmly.
Zhao Xing said to the former Lord Che Shi: "In the future, you will be the people under my rule. I will love you as much as the Han people, but the premise is that you must be honest and listen to my greetings!"
The king of Cheshi did not dare to stand up and replied tremblingly: "My king's divine power, the former Cheshi did not dare to have any intentions!"
After appeased the overly frightened Che Shi people, Zhao Xing immediately led 50,000 cavalrymen to leave the Chief of the Western Regions Mansion and marched quickly towards Yumen Pass without stopping.
Since he had used the name "Pingxi King" in advance, the title of Lao Shizi of the Western Regions Chief Secretariat was thrown aside. Before leaving, he had given this place a new name, called Liwei City, which is homophonic to "Liwei", and the meaning is self-evident. The former Che Shi Kingdom was also abolished, and the front and rear Che Shi Kingdom was directly classified as Che Shi County. The first prefect was appointed by the veteran Fang Yue, who was about to arrive.
Although the court still didn't know at all and would not be willing to sign Zhao Xing as "King of Pingxi", he, the self-proclaimed king, secretly asked someone to make golden seals, Wang Xi and other things to declare power long before coming to the Western Regions. So when Fang Yue was breathless and met with Zhao Xing halfway and took the letter of appointment handed over by Zhao Xing, he couldn't figure out when the great man had another awesome "King of Pingxi".
The reason why Zhao Xing was so anxious was to take out the golden seal that was accomplice of the rebellion and rebellion, Wang Xi, and blatantly appointed Fang Yue as the prefect of Cheshi County because he was eager to return to the pass to deal with a major event.
This is a very important thing for Jin State. Zhao Xing has been waiting for a long time. He has absolute certainty and confidence. This time he will force the court to agree to be the king, so it is nothing to take office in advance. Compared to the fact that he is proclaiming himself in advance, if the court knows what Zhao Xing wants to do next, he will be labeled as a more rebellious person.
Apart from cuckolds, Zhao Xing didn't mind others wearing many hats on his head, including "rebels, traitors, traitors, traitors" and other hats that were obviously insulting, and he would accept them with a smile. But the hat that the court put on him recently was too weird, and it was even a bit beyond his expectations.
Zhao Xing tried his best to mobilize troops from Bingzhou and Liangzhou, and even Guan Yu led his army out of Yumen Pass with great fanfare, largely to get Huangfu Song and his son stationed in Chang'an to take action. Before Huangfu Song and his son sent troops to attack Jin or Liang, they must have the court convicted him of a crime, otherwise he would have become a leader of Wuming.
According to Zhao Xing's speculation, the court's idea now was nothing more than forcing Jin to hand over Wei Yan and the more than 10,000 captured Northern Army soldiers, and Jin would definitely not agree. Next, the court used this as an excuse and sent troops to attack Jin. The most vulnerable position of Jin State was Shangjun north of Chang'an.
Judging from the emergency information sent by the Shadow Team members, Huangfu Song and his son had already launched an attack on Shangjun while there was no soldiers in the direction of Liang Kingdom. Zhang Fei, who was far away in Yecheng, Jizhou, also took advantage of the sudden disappearance of the Heishan army on the front battlefield and launched an attack on the Guangping area.
Zhang Fei's actions were obviously to cover Huangfu Song's western front, intending to attract Jin to send troops to support him, resulting in insufficient troops sent to the western front to defend. If Xu Huang was not fooled, then the eastern front would become the main battlefield, and Zhang Fei took the opportunity to regain a large area of land in Jizhou. ~
