The Yu Chengcheng Massacre spread rapidly in the Western Regions through business travel and nobles from various countries in the Western Regions.

The Huns were proud and showed off their martial arts and domineeringness without any hesitation.

They even sent the heads of some slaughtered people back to the Western Regions for display along the way.

To achieve the purpose of showing off and deterrence.

And the effect is naturally excellent!

In a short moment, the Xiongnu's rule in the Western Regions became stable.

Especially those nobles who were originally dissatisfied with the Regent Li Ling, they were immediately obedient and shouted "Long live the Regent".

There is no way, this is how the Huns were.

If you have milk, you will be a mother. Whoever can bring them victory and benefits will be the boss!

They actually don't care about the Twins.

Just care about yourself!

However……

When these news spread to Kucha on the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, Wei Li.

The situation has changed completely!

Because almost the entire Han Dynasty controlled the princes and nobles of the Western Regions clearly remember that about half a month ago, General Ying Yang sent an envoy to warn the Huns and Wusun, and asked the two countries to continue in the war: Please keep the style of a gentleman, follow the ways of the wise men, and reflect on yourself with the benevolent and righteous teachers, so that it is important not to seriously hurt and not capture Ermao!

Yan You is right, and the Yu Chengcheng Massacre is coming.

Moreover, the Huns did not cover up at all, and they blew their actions in Yu Chengcheng.

Their sending back the heads of demonstration and show-off also proved that they not only abused their enemies on the battlefield, but also carried out large-scale massacres and slaughter after their enemies surrendered.

The deceased were not only soldiers, but also young and strong.

There are also elderly people and even children!

There were even shamans of the Huns who cruelly used the corpses of dozens of unfortunate babies to make sacrificial instruments.

So, all eyes immediately looked at the Han Dynasty behind Yangguan and Yumen, and at the General Yingyang who was stationed in Yu Juyan!

The Han businessmen and soldiers in Weili, Kucha and Loulan first expressed their opinions on this.

Of course, these people don’t understand what caution is, and they don’t know what diplomatic language is.

They only know how to speak and care about themselves.

I'm too lazy to care about the overall situation and not the overall situation!

So, in an instant, the entire Han region was occupied by the remarks of these people.

"These Xiongnu people are so brave! Zhang Chiyou dares to provoke! He is tired of living! I see, the army of the royal army is probably ready to go, just waiting for the general order!"

"That's right! What kind of person is Zhang Chiyou? When a commoner was a commoner, he dared to attack the grandson of the prime minister. As soon as he became a minister, he dared to face the powerful force like the commander of Shuiheng and the Taipu, and even trampled them to death... He was ordered to go on an envoy, but he went on a mission to the Dragon City and the Holy Mountain of the Huns, and the Huns were divided into pieces! Now these Huns dare to provoke Chiyou? I think Zhang Chiyou is afraid that he will open his divine eyes and reveal his true body with three heads and six arms!"

Similar remarks instantly brainwashed the princes and nobles of the Han region.

It makes them revenge against the Han army possible, without any doubt!

In Kucha, the monarchs and ministers of Kucha even began to discuss how many people they would have to send to show their sincerity if the king's army conquers the Huns?

These comments were soon exported to domestic sales, and spread to the Western Regions under the control of the Huns.

Suddenly, the situation immediately reversed.

The people of the countries were panicked. The left-behind nobles in various countries were shocked three times a day and did not even dare to close their eyes when they were asleep, for fear that if they were accidentally killed, the Han cavalry rushed in, but they were not ready to surrender, and they were accidentally killed.

So they all prepared a full set of Han clothes at home, and those who had the conditions even prepared books imported from the Han Dynasty such as "Spring and Autumn Analects", "The Analects of Confucius", and "Shangshu". In addition, they secretly began to rehearse in their own territory to welcome the king's army into the rescue of the "difficulty" people and the people.

Fresh eggs, seasonal fruits, and countless stoves are ready.

Just when the king came in, he performed a set of "Baidu pulp pots" and another set of "I admire Wang Hua for a long time and the loyal ministers and filial sons who welcomed the king's master".

As for the prospects of the war between the Huns and the Han Dynasty?

Almost no one is optimistic!

The reason is very simple. In the entire Western Regions, especially in countries close to the Han region, we all know that the Huns were actually defeated in the war last year.

The King of Kings was "injured and incurable" in the war, and not only lost Kucha, Wei Li, and even the White Dragon Dunes fell into control of the Han Dynasty.

That is, the Huns themselves said, "win if they cannot win" and "fight the Han Dynasty's attack."

In fact, in most people's eyes, the Huns even lost their underwear.

The final battle was just a fig leaf.

What's more, the Han Dynasty has changed its generals and the one who is in charge of the imperial family can sweep across the entire Mobei with only a few thousand Han troops, which directly leads to the culprit of the fragmentation of the Huns!

If he takes action, he will be thunderous!

Can the Huns hold on?

Almost no one has confidence in this!

So, in just a few days, the Huns controlled area south of the Tianshan Mountains was in chaos.

The Xiongnu tribes who stayed behind were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, could only put out fires everywhere, but the situation was getting more and more chaotic.

At this time, Zhang Yue, who had been waiting for the news in Lingju, finally received the news he had been waiting for.

"The Huns defeated Yu Cheng and slaughtered him for three days. The dead were 10,000, and the corpses were violently swept into the wild. Yu Cheng residents were all gone!" Looking at the report sent by Wang Mang, Zhang Yue laughed: "It turns out that the dog cannot change the Chi Xiang!"

Will the Huns massacre in Dayuan?

Zhang Yue has always had full confidence!

If the Huns did not engage in massacre, would they still be the Huns or barbarians?

Now, the Huns carried out a massacre as expected, which was equivalent to handing the knife to Zhang Yue.

"General, can you summon the army immediately?" Xin Wuling was eager to try next to him.

Even Xu Xiangru and others were ready to go, just waiting for Zhang Yue to issue a command.

Don’t look at their recent business development, making money and getting cramps.

However, for a general, everything is false.

Only military achievements are real, and they can truly rely on and serve as the family foundation.

Money is just something that adds icing on the cake.

Moreover, they recently discovered that instead of doing business with the Huns and letting part of the money be separated by the Huns, it is better to sell it yourself and make a bigger profit!

Zhang Yue looked at everyone, smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious..."

"You must not be impatient in the way of using troops. The current situation is not suitable for large-scale use of troops!"

Now, it is mid-July, and soon the entire Hexi, and even the Han family's military farmland areas in the Western Regions, will usher in the autumn harvest.

The plan for a year lies in spring, and the achievement of a year is in autumn.

In Zhang Yue's view, the autumn harvest this autumn is more important than anything else.

This is related to the food and clothing of millions of people in Hexi, and it is more directly related to the financial health of the entire Han Dynasty.

If the two million mu of corn in Hehuang are harvested in Hehuang this year, the Han army's military rations will be basically guaranteed.

There is no longer a large-scale transfer of military rations from inner counties to maintain the basic needs of the Hexi Han army!

what does that mean?

Zhang Yue knew it better!

This means that the court will reduce various taxes in order to supply Hexi next year.

Especially the tax on manuscripts, tax calculation, tuition, transmission, and other corvee services can be greatly reduced!

It can also cut off the path of corrupt officials in many places, exploiting the people, and sucking bones and marrow.

It can also reduce expenses by at least 30%.

As a result, the river management project under the Prince will be supported by a large amount of funds. As a result, the burden on the people of the world can be reduced by at least 30%, and the burden of corvee service can be reduced by half.

Not to mention, it's too early to take action now!

These peaches are not ripe yet.

"Let the Huns do something for us first..." Zhang Yue smiled and ordered: "General Xin, please ask the general to go to the Western Regions for me, and tell the Huns: I, Emperor Taizong, have a lesson: I am born to steam people, and I will raise and govern them for them. Therefore, the virtue of the emperor is to be a bird and a beast. The way of the emperor is to be a king in the eight wildernesses. This is the so-called poem: All the kings under the sky are kings, and all the lands are kings and ministers! Although the kings of Dayuan are unrighteous, what are the people of Dayuan? Now the generals are soldiers to kill the people, and the husband and wife of Dayuan are separated forever, fathers and sons are separated, brothers and brothers are trapped in water and fire, so that the old has no place to support and the young have no support. This is the way of human relations and the birth of heaven and earth! I heard that Confucius said: This is tolerant! This is what is the so-called journey of your country today!"

Zhang Yue said righteously, looked at Xin Wuling with great sacredness, and said passionately: "I, General Yang of Han Ying, Zhang Zizhong, and the emperor, adhere to the virtue of the emperor and follow the way of heaven and earth, warn the Lord: immediately stop the atrocities against the innocent people of Dayuan, investigate the culprits of the Yu Chengcheng incident, and hand them over to our country for interrogation, to correct the virtues of the heaven and earth, and the emperor's teachings, this is one of them! Stop advancing immediately and wait for my envoy to arrive to supervise your country's journey. This is the second! Immediately compensate the murdered people and comfort the innocent people, this is the third!"

"If the Lord can hold these three laws, it may be too late to repair the sheep. Otherwise, if the heaven is disgusted with it and abandoned it, there will be a great punishment!"

"Don't say that you don't make any mistakes!"

Xin Wuling listened, not very understanding. He asked in confusion: "General, do you think the Huns can listen to your kind advice?"

"Another, will this behavior make people look down on the general and think that the general can be deceived?"

"Whether they can listen or not, that's their business..." Zhang Yue grinned and said, "However, I believe that Li Shaoqing's IQ can still understand my good intentions..."
