Three thousand Han troops were stationed in Takancheng for 30 years, but in the end only [-] veterans remained.

Eight hundred veterans, with an average age of about fifty.

At this age, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, he was considered a long-lived elderly person.

Wei Chu glanced at the veterans, and kept recalling what the veterans had just said in his ears, and was moved in his heart.

He secretly made up his mind to collect [-] longevity pills so that these veterans who had been delayed for most of their lives could regain their second spring in life.

However, the explosion rate of longevity pills is not high. If you want to collect [-] longevity pills, Diao Chan will have to work hard.

After having dinner with eight hundred veterans, Wei Chu found Ma Teng and Han Sui.

At this time, Ma Teng and Han Sui had learned about the destruction of the Northern Huns.

So facing Wei Chu again, Ma Teng and Han Sui's attitudes were obviously much more polite.

Under the gaze of everyone, Wei Chu sat on the main seat.

"General Ma, from now on, you will serve as the chief historian of the Western Regions Changshi Mansion. General Han, you will serve as the chief registrar of the Western Regions Changshi Mansion. Appoint Ma Chao as the Gongbing Cao Shi and Yan Xing as the Gong Cao Shi."

"Tomorrow, I will send someone to invite the kings of the 36 countries in the Western Region to gather in Gancheng on the first day of the next month. I will use this opportunity to tell everyone in the Western Region that the Han Dynasty will regain control of the Western Region."

Hearing Wei Chu's words, Ma Teng nodded heavily at first, and then whispered: "General, the 36 countries in the Western Regions escaped from the control of the Han Dynasty decades ago. This time, I am afraid someone will violate it, and..."

Ma Teng didn't finish his words, but Wei Chu knew what Ma Teng wanted to express.

The Han Dynasty established the Changshi Mansion of the Western Regions.

Although it has always claimed not to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries.

However, as the Han Dynasty stationed troops in the Western Regions, it would still cause dissatisfaction in some countries.

Especially the Kingdom of Kucha.

Kucha is the largest country in the Western Region.

The total population is more than 8, and there are more than [-] soldiers.

If it were not for the powerful Han to guard Taqiancheng, the Qiuci Kingdom might have already annexed many small countries in the Western Region.

Wei Chu waved his hand towards Ma Teng.

"The Han Dynasty will naturally face many difficulties and challenges if it wants to regain control of the Changshi Mansion of the Western Regions."

"Killing chickens to scare monkeys is an indispensable method."

"In addition, General Ma, your army's morale has been low before. If you want to restore morale, you need a big battle and a victory."

After listening to Wei Chu's words, Ma Teng and others looked at each other and nodded.

The news that the Changshi Mansion of the Western Regions hosted banquets for the kings of 36 countries in the name of Changshi Ma Teng soon spread throughout the Western Regions.

Queen Jingjue got the news and was the first to announce her appointment.

Afterwards, the countries in the South responded one after another.

But it is different from the countries in the South.

The countries in the North, headed by Kucha, not only blatantly refused to honor the treaty, but also proposed that the Western Regions belonged to the countries in the Western Regions, demanding that the Han Dynasty immediately abolish the Western Regions Changshi Mansion and hand over its gancheng to the Kucha Kingdom.

Wei Chu and others ignored the clamor of Kucha.

The banquet was held as scheduled in Kancheng.

But on the day the banquet ended, Ma Teng declared war on the Northern Kingdoms on behalf of the Han Dynasty.

Seven days later, a battle broke out on the north bank of the Tarim River between the 6000 allied troops of the North Dao countries and [-] people led by Ma Teng.

In this battle, Wei Chu and the Eighteen Tiandao Guards did not participate in the battle.

Because one of Wei Chu's purposes in launching this war was to help Ma Chao and others regain their confidence.

Therefore, in this battle, we must rely entirely on Ma Teng's strength to defeat his opponent.

The battle has just begun.

The 6000 Han army broke out with amazing combat effectiveness.

Ma Chao, Yan Xing, and Pang De each led a hundred red-robed cavalry and launched a charge towards the central army of the North Road coalition forces.

Wei Xu, Yan Qi, Yu Li, and the kings of the Three Kingdoms were at the front supervising the battle. Before they could fully react, they were killed by Ma Chao, Yan Xing, and Pang De.

Then three hundred red-robed troops marched forward in a bloody battle, becoming more and more brave as they fought. They also killed Wulei, Gumo, Wensu, Weitou, and Shule, the kings of the five countries, one after another.

King Qiuci realized that something was wrong and wanted to escape with a group of personal guards.

Unfortunately, they had just escaped a few miles before they were captured alive by Ma Chao.

This battle lasted only half a day, and the Han army won a complete victory.

Eight thousand allied soldiers from the Northern Kingdoms were slaughtered by the Han army, and eight thousand heads were piled together to form a bloody and terrifying hill.

King Qiuci was hung upside down in front of the hill with a human head, and slowly turned into a dried human body in pain and regret.

After the [-] allied soldiers from the North Road countries were destroyed, [-] Han troops looted the North Road countries one after another, robbed all the wealth accumulated by the North Road countries for many years, and almost killed all the people of the North Road countries.

By this time, the countries in the Western Regions finally understood it clearly.

The great Han is still the great Han of the past. Even though the Great Han is currently undergoing a civil war, the majesty of the Great Han cannot be offended.

The big man is no longer the big man he once was.

The once great Han rarely showed his talents in the Western Regions.

Even if they use troops against the Northern Huns, the Han army will mostly defend, and even if they win, they will not pursue the victory.

They mostly just declare their sovereignty and maintain the smooth flow of the Silk Road.

But today's Han army is like a wild beast with sharp fangs.

Anyone who dares to provoke the Han army must be prepared to be destroyed.

After the Northern Kingdoms were destroyed, the remaining Western Kingdoms not only did not blame the Han army for being too cruel, but instead gave them countless gifts.

This was beyond Ma Teng and Han Sui's expectations.

"After I return to Liangzhou, I will order some people to be relocated from Jiuquan and Dunhuang counties to the Western Regions. You are responsible for settling these people in the richest places in the Western Regions."

"In the Changshi Mansion of the Western Regions, Han people should enjoy superior treatment."

"Women from the countries in the Western Regions can marry Han people through marriage, and those who have three or more children can be given Han identity and a Han surname!"

When Ma Teng and Han Sui nodded solemnly, Wei Chu thought for a while and said: "National assimilation is important, but the speed of assimilation is too slow after all. You must remember to constantly provoke conflicts among the countries in the Western Regions. Let the countries in the Western Regions Countries are constantly attacking each other and engaging in internal strife."

"In this way, in another 30 years, the proportion of Han people in the Western Regions will increase to more than [-]%. By that time, the Western Regions will truly become the territory of the Han people."

After listening to Wei Chu's words, Ma Teng and Han Sui couldn't help but look at each other.

National assimilation cooperates with bloody killings.

Wei Chu wanted to make the countries in the Western Regions completely disappear into the long river of history.

In another hundred years, future generations will be able to erase the previous records of the Western Region's Changshi Mansion and declare that the Western Region has always been the inherent territory of the Han Dynasty.

At the same time, Ma Teng and Han Sui secretly warned themselves not to be enemies with Wei Chu again in the future.

Otherwise, the King of Kucha who turns into a flag will be the fate of everyone.
