Huan Rong

Chapter 265 Returning to Jiankang

The so-called do not die, die to a certain level, even the gods can't save it.

King Yanqi is an example.

He was obviously tricked by Di Ren, and the fall was really hard.With the facts in front of his eyes, the officials tried hard to persuade him, but he seemed to be on the edge of a dead end, still unrepentant.Instead of lowering his stance, he became more arrogant and drove back the envoys sent by Kucha.

Qiuci and Yanqi had old grievances, but sending people this time was nothing more than the death of the rabbit and the fox's sorrow, worrying that if Huan Han captured Yanqi, he would be the next target.

Unexpectedly, King Yanqi's head was flooded with water, and he refused to listen to persuasion, but took his good intentions as the liver and lungs of a donkey, and never turned back.

How can the envoy let go of this great humiliation?After returning to the country and crying, King Kucha was furious.

You don't know kindness, do you?

it is good!

See you on the battlefield!

At this time, King Qiuci no longer felt any sorrow for the death of a rabbit and a fox. He adopted the suggestion of his ministers, wrote a letter of state and sent it to Gaochang, and revised a letter.

"Please submit to the emperor of the Han Dynasty. The small country has admired the culture of the Han family for a long time. I would like to see you every year and pay tribute every year."

The letter also stated that Huan Han could set up a business office in Qiuci, and a post station could also be used.However, the former does not intervene in Kucha, while the latter requires joint management by the two countries.

The letter of credence was sent to Gaochang, and Huan Shiqian was discussing with Xie Xuan and others the route to enter the army.After reading King Qiucha's private message, he couldn't help saying: "King Qiuci is indeed a smart man."

Xie Xuan smiled without saying a word, his eyes were still fixed on the map, as if he was very satisfied with the newly added area.

Wang Xianzhi was not in a good mood.

After winning the whole territory of Gaochang, he could have played a role in the imperial court. Please return to Jiankang for a while to reunite with his family temporarily.If I don't see the previous side again, my son is afraid that he will really not know himself.

Fortunately, Yanqi took the initiative to pick things up!

Of course there were provocations from the Di people, but if King Yanqi was really a smart man, it would be useless for others to provoke him!To put it bluntly, this guy might have looked at the caravan with envy, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

"Short-sighted people, it's useless to persuade them with good words. You should destroy the capital of the king with the force of thunder, and shock the neighbors Xiaoxiao!"

Wang Xianzhi's remarks were quite blunt, but they also pointed out the facts.

King Yanqi obviously planned to go all the way to the dark, and he would not turn back after being beaten to death.No matter who it is, there is no way to pull him back.Instead of wasting time talking and talking, it's better to be straightforward and quick, and he can invite the court to go home to visit his relatives.

He is not the only one who misses his family during the Western Expedition.

Huan Shiqian originally planned to station troops in Gaochang, but he intended to ask the imperial court to recruit new soldiers, so that the old soldiers could go home to visit relatives.Now the plan has to be changed.

After the order was issued, the atmosphere in the army was tense.It wasn't that they wanted to disobey the order, but they all rushed towards Yanqi with raging anger.

"Kuci delivered the letter of credence and is willing to see the tribute. This matter is not small, and it needs to be reported to the emperor as soon as possible."

Xie Xuan was finally willing to look away from the map. Seeing that Huan Shiqian was lost in thought and Wang Xianzhi was still in a bad mood, he couldn't help but said: "Zijing, in the face of major events, don't care for your son and daughter. It doesn't take much to win Yanqi time."

Wang Xianzhi was slightly embarrassed, knowing that he was being impulsive, took a deep breath, nodded to Xie Xuan, and his expression improved slightly.

The three of them were discussing in the tent, and there was a commotion outside the tent.

"what happened?"

Unable to understand the reason, all three of them were suspicious.

Huan Shiqian took a few steps forward, and as soon as he lifted the curtain, he saw Qian Shi striding forward, the sword clashed with the armor, and the clanging sound could be heard endlessly.

"General, Yan Qi sent troops to intercept the caravan at the border. The scouts went out to investigate and rescued two people."

"what?!"

Huan Shiqian was shocked and furious.

Xie Xuan and Wang Xianzhi stepped forward, and upon hearing what Qian Shi said, their expressions also changed suddenly.

The caravan guard managed to save his life after treatment, but was too seriously injured to move.Huan Shiqian and the others simply asked the doctor, knowing the whole process, they were all full of anger.

"Damn!"

Still the same sentence, King Yanqi died to a certain extent, and the gods were not saved!

In July of the second year of Taiyuan, Emperor Huanhan stayed in Guzang.

In the same month, Qiuci delivered the letter of credence, intending to make amends with Huan Han, proclaiming himself a minister and paying tribute.

Yan Qi sent troops to intercept and kill the caravan, which aroused the anger of Emperor Huan Han, and ordered the army to march westward, "remove the chief and destroy the country".

When the decree was issued, Huan Shiqian immediately dispatched troops to pull out the camp, and Chen Shiju brigade led the army to attack Yanqi.

Kucha sent troops at the same time, attacking from the west.

The two armies outflanked the left and right, rushed to the fortress and destroyed the sharp edge, with momentum like a rainbow.From the sound of the drums, the Yanqi army was at a disadvantage.

Yanqi and the Qiuci army are familiar with each other, and they can still deal with each other for a few rounds.Encountering the Huan Han army, seeing the remodeled military chariots and elite cavalry, Yanqi's army was almost powerless to fight back, and was crushed as soon as they met.

The battle report was sent to the king's capital, but King Yanqi couldn't believe it.

The army he was so proud of was so vulnerable to the Huan Han army?

He didn't believe it, never believed it!

Lies, everything is lies!

There are many nobles and ministers in the country who are sober and have recognized the situation early.

A big mistake is made, and the country's collapse is just around the corner.If King Yanqi is dead, he might be able to find a way out; if King Yanqi is not dead, everyone in the capital will be buried with him!

Everyone looked at each other and secretly exchanged glances.Looking at King Yanqi who was full of anger, his eyes flickered slightly, and they tacitly didn't say a word.

In September of the second year of Taiyuan, the Huanhan army went down to several cities in Yanqi, and attacked the capital of the king.The army led by King Qiuci took a step back, hurried forward, and finally arrived at the capital a few days later.

The two sides joined forces victoriously, quickly dispatched troops to block the city gate, and completely surrounded the capital.

From the start of the battle to the siege of the king's capital, it was only three months.Regardless of the time it took for the army to travel, the combat effectiveness and attack speed of the Huan Han army can be seen.

King Yanqi originally wanted to resist, but he wanted to bite off a piece of his opponent's flesh when he was about to die.Unexpectedly, the trusted noble minister suddenly rebelled, beheaded him in the palace, opened the city gate with his head, and surrendered to the army.

Yanqi City is built of giant wood and mud, with obvious Western style.

At this moment, the city gate was opened, and the noble officials who surrendered were kneeling all over the ground, all dressed in plain clothes, with their foreheads pressed down extremely low, and they never dared to raise their heads.

There are often southern caravans in the city, and they know the rules of the Han people.At this moment, he wished he could lower his figure, and only hoped that coach Huan Han would be lenient and spare their lives.

As for King Kucha, the Yanqi nobles didn't even think about it.

The letter sent before was ignored by the head of state, and he had already offended the other party thoroughly.If it falls into the hands of the Kucha people, the whole city will suffer.

Therefore, they did not hesitate to rebel and surrender to the Huan Han army.

I hope that the other party will be a little merciful, and for the sake of killing the "chief culprit", they will be punished lightly when questioning the crime.

Huan Shiqian stepped forward immediately, Xie Xuan and Wang Xian were on the left and right, his eyes swept over the people lying on the ground, and then at the anxious people in the city, he quickly made up his mind.

"It's a great kindness for you to repent after making mistakes first."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in Yanqi breathed a sigh of relief, and their hearts finally returned to their throats.

It doesn't matter whether he will lose most of his family property or not, in short, this life is saved.

Only King Kucha was dissatisfied.But he didn't dare to oppose Huan Shiqian's words in public, so he could only grit his teeth secretly, suppressing all dissatisfaction in his heart, and wait until he entered the city to speak.

Seeing this scene in their eyes, Xie Xuan and Wang Xianzhi raised their eyebrows at the same time, and the corners of their mouths curled up at the same time.

Seeing their expressions, Huan Shiqian couldn't help but shed tears of sympathy for King Kucha.Attracting the attention of these two, it is estimated that King Qiuci will have a very difficult life for quite a while.More than [-]% of the possibilities, you will regret it so much that you want to hit the wall.

King Yanqi died, and the army entered the capital of King Yanqi.

Huan Shiqian ordered the people to be safe, and the soldiers were not allowed to harass the people at will, and those who violated them were severely punished.Kucha soldiers and Han soldiers are treated equally, and whoever dares to disobey this order will be dealt with by military law.

The Yanqi people were worried for several days, and found that the Han army, unlike the Hu tribe, did not slaughter or loot after entering the city. Except for the disposal of a few nobles who had participated in the interception of the caravan, everything in the city was as usual.

The Kucha people were restricted by the Han army, and there were few murders and robberies.Anyone who defies the law with his own body will be dragged to the city gate and punished severely, with no exception.

Dissatisfied?

In this realm, whoever has the biggest fist has the final say!

After counting and counting, the Han army has the biggest fist, the sharpest blade, and the most sonorous voice.Want to challenge the authority of the Han army coach?First touch a few heads on the neck.

"Extraordinary times and extraordinary laws."

After dealing with the Hu people for a long time, Huan Shiqian, Xie Xuan and Wang Xianzhi's behaviors all changed.If not, the words "everything the bowstring touches are Han soil" would not have been said.

When Yanqi's battle report was sent to Guzang, Huan Rong was overjoyed.

"good!"

Xie An and Wang Biaozhi both stroked their beards and smiled.

Without him, the Xie family of Chenjun and the Wang family of Langya contributed a lot to the westward march of the army. Afterwards, they will be rewarded for their merits, and the two families can go further.Regardless of Jiankang, the benefits obtained from the business routes in the Western Regions alone are inexhaustible enough for several generations.

But there is a premise for all this, Huan Han has always firmly occupied the Western Regions, and even unified China!

Thinking of this, Xie An and Wang Biaozhi slowly suppressed their smiles, their eyes dimmed.

Chang'an, Qin family!

The two looked at each other without any expression, but they could understand the meaning of each other's eyes.Immediately turned his eyes, Qi Qi looked at Huan Rong.

Huan Rong happened to put down the battle report, raised his head, saw two handsome uncles staring at him intently, subconsciously shivered.

what happened?

Instinctively looking up and down, doubts appeared on the expression, is there anything wrong?

Fortunately, the "abnormality" of Xie An and Wang Biaozhi didn't last long, and they quickly calmed down and began to discuss the official arrangements of Yanqi and Gaochang.

More than a dozen of Lang Jun, who accompanied him on the hunting tour, have served in Bianzhou and Tuyuhun.Gaochang and Yanqi are new places, and both need officials sent by the imperial court.One of the important purposes of Huan Shiqian's appearance on Huan Rong is to win people.

Huan Rong counted with his fingers, there are too many pits and few radishes, it is not easy to arrange.

Another point is that if the army goes out for a long time, the soldiers will definitely miss their families, and it is imminent to deploy a new army.Soldiers stationed in the Western Regions and Tuyuhun cannot return home, so they must also find a way.

Huan Rong squeezed his forehead, do you want to implement a rotation system?

There are quite a lot of aspects involved in this, and it is not something that can be decided on the head, but a long-term plan must be considered.At least Huan Chong and Huan Huo should be consulted, and Xi Yin should also be consulted.

"Kuci submits to pay tribute, so it's okay to allow its princes and noble children to enter Jiankang Academy." Xie An suggested, "There are words in his national book, and he has long admired the culture of the Han family. Be considerate."

Ok?

Huan Rong raised his head and looked Xie An up, down, left, and right.

What does this mean?

Is that what he thought?

Xie An smiled slightly, with an air of immortality.The state of being exiled to an immortal is like not eating fireworks on earth.It seems that he was not the one who suggested that Qiuci send protons just now.

Huan Rong pondered for two seconds, and said, "This proposal is very good. After returning to the court, I will discuss with Fan Gong, and establish an academy in Jiankang to teach foreign students."

Xie An reminded him that the delivery of protons was not enough, and education in "traditional etiquette" was necessary.According to the words of later generations, brainwashing.

An era has its own rules.

There must be protons, and colleges are a good reason, but the "farmer who rescued a snake and was bitten by it" must never happen.

While thinking about it, Huan Rong shared his thoughts with the two of them.

This is true for Kucha, as well as for other Hu tribes.

In the future, the territory will become bigger and bigger, and there will be more and more problems encountered. Proton's entry into Beijing is considered an expedient measure, and it can be acted accordingly until a better solution is found.

Protons considered sacrificial sons?

No problem.

Huan Rong smiled and said that with the backing of the imperial court, he could go back and fight with his brothers, and rolled up his sleeves to open the film.

It doesn't matter if there is chaos, the imperial court will definitely come forward to call the shots!As the lord and leader of Jiankang, if he wants to maintain his rule, he should be clear about what to do after he takes office.

"What do you two think?"

Speechless became Xie An and Wang Biaozhi.

They suddenly realized that they still knew too little about this emperor.

In October of the second year of Taiyuan, Yanqi was merged into Huanhan.

Qiuci proclaimed himself a minister to Huan Han and sent envoys to pay tribute for the first time.Zheng Shi is the eldest son of the King of Kucha, accompanied by several noble children of Kucha.

According to historical records, this pedestrian entered Jiankang, awed by the prosperity of Jiankang, admiring the culture of the Han family, and took the initiative to invite him to study in the academy.A few years later, he returned to China and made a lot of contributions to the "friendship between the two countries".

Later historians have various comments on this, some praise it, but there are also many critics.Which one to believe, that is the benevolent see benevolence and the wise see wisdom.

In November of the second year of Taiyuan, Huan Rong left Liangzhou and returned to Jiankang.

Compared with when they left Jiankang, the number of people accompanying them has been reduced by more than half, and none of the accompanying nobles is missing.On the contrary, there were 300 more Hu cavalry, all of whom were selected from various tribes of Tuyuhun to protect the emperor.

Qin Jing returned to Xihai County two months ago.

Before leaving, Goshawk sent a text message.Huan Rong hurried to the outside of the city, and eight thousand cavalry galloped away.

Looking from the top of the city, one can only see the distant torrent, like a tumbling black giant wave, and it is impossible to tell where the black figure is.

That day, Huan Rong stood at the top of the city for a long time, until his hands and feet were cold and his body was a little numb from the evening wind, then he walked down the city wall step by step.

During the whole process, his back was always straight, his expression was blank, and his pupils were pitch black, like a millennium cold pool, freezing all his emotions.

After one night, Huan Rong returned to normal, no longer the coldness before.

The scene on the top of the city seems to be swept away by the autumn wind, falling into the long river of time, slowly sinking, and finally leaving no trace.

Yu Jia left Guzang City, and the officials of the government sent him out of the city respectfully.

The common people lined the road, no matter Han people or Hu people, they all waited by the roadside early to send off the Emperor Huan Han with the most solemn etiquette.

The sound of drums at the top of the city, and the emperor's big leg crushed the stone road.

On both sides of the road, Han people and Hu people stood together. I don't know who was the first to speak out. Everyone's emotions were instantly ignited, and the voices of "Long live" and "Thousand years" were heard endlessly.

There are no flowers to pave the road, only colored silk cloth thrown on the road.

There is a Han woman singing with her hands in hand. The long tune pierces through the wind and travels south with the emperor, lingering for a long time.

Sitting in the car, Huan Rong looked back and saw that Guzang City was gradually going away, accompanied by the creaking sound of wheels rolling over the road, it finally turned into a black spot and disappeared without a trace.
