The military alliance between Richard and Luyang was finally formed, but both of them had a very tacit understanding and did not make it public, and they were completely in touch with each other through a secret letter.

Luyang dared not make it public because he did not want the Tufan Kingdom and the two guards who won the victory to find his intention to resist firmly, otherwise the Shule army would be besieged by a large army.

With the current morale of Shule Army Town, if it is besieged, it is likely to collapse from the inside!

No matter how good a military city is, it needs people to defend. If the soldiers do not dare to fight, the officers do not have the belief in winning, and they only want to surrender and save their lives. How can they fight this battle?

After the Battle of Kucha, even the soldiers at the bottom now knew that the huge gap in strength between the two sides was just futile to continue to resist. If it were not for the support of the righteousness of the Han people, Luyang would have even been assassinated by the surrendered faction below!

Because of this, even if Richard takes the initiative to promote it, Luyang will deny it!

After all, Richard was just a small warlord who occupied the two prefectures. His political voice was too low and he had not been valued in the Western Regions. The Tufan Kingdom did not even send anyone to persuade Richard to surrender.

Because Richard uprooted the Zhaowu family who defected to the Tufan Kingdom and was included in an unpopular ranks by the Tubo people...

In Anguo Mansion and Shiguo Mansion, Richard's name may be well-known. From Semu people and serfs to Han people, landlords and gentry, they can only look up to the Ming Dynasty. However, in the eyes of the big bosses who truly took power in the Western Regions, Richard was just a grassroots warlord who rose in the chaos.

As for the reason why Richard did not publicize the alliance with Luyang, it was very simple. His next goal was the Kangguo Mansion, which had empty garrison troops!

In early June of the first year of the Ming Dynasty, Richard led the troops of three field groups and the direct system troops under his command, a total of 10,000 people, and a baggage team of tens of thousands of serfs, to Kangguo Mansion!

The first year of King Ming was the year of the reign of the reign of the kingdom of Richard. Since he had already established himself as a king, he naturally could not continue to use the reign of the Tang Dynasty. Like other forces, the Tufan Kingdom also changed its reign, and An Lushan's forces no longer used the reign of the Tang Dynasty.

It was already spring when Richard became independent, so it was not until June that the preparations were officially launched.

The main army of tens of thousands, with more than half of the armored armors, and tens of thousands of people with young and strong serfs. A total of more than 20,000 people entered Kangguo Mansion, which scared the left-behind officials of Kangguo Mansion.

Due to the Battle of Kucha, the Tang Dynasty field troops and fang soldiers of Kangguo Mansion had long been drawn, and even the county patrol teams that could be fought in Kangguo Mansion were transferred by more than 60%. Now there are only less than four-digit guards left in Kangguo Mansion, and the Guancha Yassan runners are only a thousand.

What are the remaining temporary recruitment of Seminister servants? The officials of Kangguo Mansion are all like mirrors in their hearts. As long as tens of thousands of troops set up their formations outside the city, these Seminister people will be considered as giving face if they fail to collapse on the spot...

The morale of the people who fought for the Han people has always been sluggish. Even if they cleared out the green skin, they needed the Han people to supervise the war team, let alone fight against humans?

After the army arrived, Richard ordered the Semu servants who were accompanying the army to build siege equipment, and sent people to shoot at Kangguo Mansion to persuade the surrender letter.

The conditions given by Richard were very simple. If you surrender, you will be able to save your lives and your wealth, and except for a few important official positions, the positions of most officials will not change.

Anyway, Richard did not have many civil servants to replace the bureaucratic system of Kangguo Mansion. If the officials of Kangguo Mansion knew the current affairs, Richard would not mind letting them continue to work for him.

Of course, if you are stubborn, the day you break the city is the time to massacre the city!

Richard believed that his army had entered Kangguo Mansion for so long, and the bureaucrats of Kangguo Mansion would not be so stupid that they would not even send someone to investigate their basic information.

The capture of Dashi Town, the cruel suppression of the Semu people's riots, and the subsequent series of wars are not secret matters. As long as people are sent to Shiguo Mansion to collect information, it is easy to obtain.

News of such large-scale wars is difficult to keep secret, and Richard did not intend to keep his actions secret. If the monarch who fought for hegemony was too kind, it would not be easy to conquer the world. Why did the Mongols in history conquered the Eurasian continent under the leadership of Genghis Khan's descendants?

It’s not because the Mongols are all known that all the cities that resisted were slaughtered, and in the end, the ordinary cities were scared to surrender one by one...

It is useless to speak of benevolence and righteousness in war. Only absolute strength can make the enemy afraid and subjugate.

What's more, Richard treated surrendered officials well, and Richard, a middle- and low-level official, had almost no change. Although the high-ranking officials at the beginning lost their power, they did not leave the officialdom. They just changed their positions and their power was lower than before.

In addition to the huge changes in military power, Richard's reform of the administrative system has mostly remained on the cabinet, and there were very little changes in the middle and low levels.

The reason is very simple. Richard felt that the grassroots administrative system of the Tang Dynasty was enough for the current situation, and he did not have many officials to replace the administrative civil service system.

Therefore, as long as the bureaucrats of the Kangguo Mansion surrender, Richard will immediately take over the entire Kangguo Mansion's order system intact, and only a few leaders need to be airborne and reform the police station to control the Kangguo Mansion.

If Kang Guofu insists on resisting, Richard will have to fulfill his promise and kill the chicken to warn the monkey. On the day of breaking the city, he will baptize Kang Guofu's city and let his enemies face the name of the Ming King!

In this era, there will be no moral pressure to massacre cities. Even the Tang Dynasty, which claimed to be orthodox, slaughtered the city during the conquest, but it was just erased from the records by historians.

A destructive country will naturally not be qualified to record history...

Richard also has the same thinking. As long as he destroys his opponent, will the future history records be decided by himself?

As long as the city massacre is completely and clean enough, and then the traces are erased in history, people in the future will never know what has happened.

Communication in this era is so backward that the spread of news is already lagging behind, so it is still easy to manipulate it.

The bureaucrats in Kangguo's mansion quickly received the "original" of Richard's letter of persuasion. They naturally heard about the cruelty of Richard, the independent Ming king, but most of them were policies aimed at Semen.

For example, on the battlefield, the Han army under his command was ordered to carry out indiscriminate massacres of the Semu minion army...

Although it is for the effect of supervising the war, the whole team of slaughtering and collapsed people is still rare in the Western Regions...
