Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Jiaohe City is the capital of the Cheshi Kingdom. It leads to Dunhuang in the southeast, Shanshan in the south, Yanqi in the west, and Wusun in the northwest. It is the hub of the Silk Road.

If the trade routes in the Western Regions are to be connected, Jiaohe City must be guaranteed to be in their own hands. However, for such a strategically important place, the big Western countries like Wusun and Dawan are determined to expand in the Western Regions. Naturally, they cannot let it become independent or fall into the hands of the Han Dynasty. Zhao Yun had done enough research before coming here. The front of the Che Division was originally a small country with a population of perhaps just over 10,000 people. According to Zhang Liao's previous predictions, the maximum number of troops that could be mobilized by the front of the Che Division was no more than 2,000. .

This is all the people who can be mobilized by the front of the Che Division in the event of a war. It is good to have a standing army of one thousand in normal times. After all, unlike Wusun, the Che Division Country is a country mainly based on farming. The number of troops that can be mobilized The proportion is naturally not as good as that of Wusun, which is mainly nomadic.

But now, according to the information obtained by Tan Ma Tan, the defenders in Jiaohe City are mainly Wusun people.

Speaking of which, this matter has something to do with Lu Bu.

Originally, although the countries in the Western Regions were fighting each other, big countries like Wusun have now begun to turn their attention to the west. After all, the Western Regions do not actually have much oil and water, and it is not worth letting Wusun. Such a big country comes to occupy space.

After all, it would not be of much benefit to Wusun if the soldiers and horses were too scattered. Even if all the people were killed, these places did not know whether they could provide them with enough food and grass.

Therefore, big countries like Wusun have seldom taken care of small countries in the Western Regions in recent years.

But Lu Bu reopened the Silk Road and the Western Regions Protectorate reopened, allowing the Han Dynasty's goods to be sold to the Western Regions, and these small countries in the Western Regions sold the goods to Dawan, Wusun, Kangju and even Guishang further away.

In just the past two or three years, many small countries have become rich, and disputes will naturally arise where there are interests. These small countries have gradually become rich by making deals with the big men, but they do not have enough strength to protect them. Naturally, these small countries in the Western Regions have become rich. The big powers took notice, and many traders were even detained directly after entering Dawan.

If you are lucky, you can still come back with your life. If you are unlucky, you may be handed over directly. After this, many small countries such as Shanshan and Shule, which are on the Kunlun line, have attached themselves to the Han Dynasty, and Tianshan Some of the small countries in the Altai Mountains and the Altai Mountains joined the Wusun and Dawan alliances voluntarily, and some were forced to do so.

Those who were attached to Dahan began to mainly deal with Dahan's business and no longer went to Dawan. Those who were attached to Wusun could go to Dawan, but there was basically not much profit, and they were almost sold at a low price. Sometimes they were even sold. Have to lose money.

Since there was no profit to be made, naturally no one was willing to do the hard work. Wusun and Dawan could only release part of the profits. At the same time, they provoked Zhang Liao several times and wanted to completely occupy the Western Region.

By that time, the Han Dynasty's transactions with the countries in the Western Regions could only be based on their faces. However, Zhang Liao was obviously not someone to be trifled with. He sent his younger brothers to provoke him several times, but Zhang Liao beat him to the point of crying for his father and mother. Although Yanqi and Qiuci are now They are in alliance with Wusun, but they basically no longer send troops.

Although they are not far apart, they are separated by the entire Altai Mountains. Even if Wusun is unhappy with these two countries, it is difficult to attack through the Altai Mountains. This is better than attacking the Cheshi Kingdom directly from the mountain pass between the Altai Mountains and the Tianshan Mountains. It's much harder.

Therefore, Wusun could only station troops and horses in the countries of Yiwu and Cheshi to maintain deterrence against the Han army, and at the same time wait for the envoys to go to Chang'an to discuss the results with the Han people.

But Wusun thought so, but Lu Bu was obviously unwilling to give up the Silk Road.

Originally, if you really wanted to host it yourself, then we had nothing to say, but now that I have finally opened this path, you will get most of the profits if you just come and ask.

Let alone Kuishang, even if you bring Anxi and Rome, there is no way.

It doesn't make sense politically, so it naturally has to be resolved through war. So at this moment, Lu Bu and the envoys from the four countries of Guishang, Wusun, Dayuan, and Kangju are making excuses, but both sides are staring at the results in the Western Regions.

After all, Lu Bu didn't have many troops in the Western Regions. Even if Ma Teng's troops stationed in the four counties of Hexi were included, there were only 20,000 to 30,000 people. And the Wusun Kingdom alone could muster 100,000 string control men. Lu Bu How to fight those people in the Western Region?

What's more important is that Lu Bu is not just a battlefield in the Western Regions. The Han Dynasty is now divided among the princes. Even if Lu Bu has troops, he has to guard against the attacks of the princes from all directions. It is impossible to focus all his energy on the Western Regions. This is why the Kushan envoys have recently crossed The reason for becoming more and more calm.

Compared to Lu Bu's small military strength in the Western Regions, obviously no one thought Lu Bu could win.

Closer to home, Zhao Yun still brought two hundred people over, but among the two hundred people, fifty were soldiers from Yiwu, Yizhi, and Pulei.

Although they are both small countries and don't have many people, they are still a help after all. This time, it is impossible to say that they really have to rely on these people to get the driver.

There are at least a thousand Wusun soldiers stationed in Jiaohe City. It is obviously not feasible to attack directly like Qin Yi said. But to reach the Tianshan area, the front of the chariot must pass, so we can only outwit them. .

Ignoring Qin Yi's nonsense, Zhao Yun asked people to camp at the back of the mountain. He took his own troops to the outside of Jiaohe City and stood high above to overlook.

Jiaohe City is only eighty miles away from Gaochangbi. Ever since Zhao Yun stationed at Gaochangbi, Wusun has stationed additional soldiers and horses in Jiaohe City. Wusun scouts can be seen wandering around from time to time.

Zhao Yun captured three scouts respectively and asked about the situation in Jiaohe City. The Wusun garrison in Jiaohe City had about a thousand people. Zhao Yun had already discovered this before, but what surprised Zhao Yun was that the citizens of Cheshi Kingdom and Wusun were The conflict between them is very important.

In order to ensure the accuracy of the intelligence, Zhao Yun tortured the three people separately, and the general ins and outs were clarified.

The son of the Cheshi King was beheaded by the Wusun people for no reason. He just didn't recognize his identity at first, saw that the other party was arrogant and rude, and the Wusun general was not in a good mood at the time, so he rewarded him with a knife, and then... There's no after that.

The Wusun general was recalled to Wusun, and it was said that he was severely punished. But if he really wanted to punish the opponent severely to appease the Cheshi King, shouldn't he be punished face to face? What about fools?

However, with thousands of Karasuma people stationed in the chariot division, even if the chariot division king is angry, he dares to be angry but dare not speak out.

The three people's confessions were basically consistent. Zhao Yun gave the three people a happy surprise, and then looked at Qin Yi: "I will go to the Cheshi Kingdom and try to contact the King of Cheshi."

"General, there are thousands of people this time!" Qin Yi couldn't help but remind him.

The last time we entered Yiwu City, Yiwu City was no more than a small country, and the Manchurian Communist Party did not have many troops. Zhao Yunyi was so bold that even if they couldn't reach an agreement, no one could stop him from withdrawing directly. But this time it was different, and Not to mention how many soldiers and horses the Cheshi Kingdom has here, there are thousands of Wusun soldiers and horses alone.

If something happened, he was worried that Zhao Yun would fall into the city and he would not be able to save him.

"We don't have enough troops now. If we can persuade the Cheshi King to join forces with us and drive the Wusun people out of the Cheshi Kingdom, the Cheshi Kingdom will be settled in Tianshan." Zhao Yun shook his head with a firm attitude.

It is not easy to defeat Wusun. If you are afraid of the wolf in front of you and the tiger in the back, then just stop fighting.

After hearing this, Qin Yi thought for a moment and said, "I will go with the general."

"If you leave and there is no one to lead the troops here, you can lead troops outside the city and wait and see. If you see chaos in the city, send troops quickly instead of attacking the city. Just lead the troops to roam outside the city so that the Wusun people in the city cannot use their full strength. !" Zhao Yun looked at Qin Yi and said solemnly.

If two hundred men are really used to attack the city, the damage they can cause is limited. No matter how fierce the Han army is, they will not be able to grow wings and fly up. The losses during siege are different from those in field battles. But if you use your cavalry to attract the Wusun soldiers and horses in the city, If they have to allocate part of their energy to pay attention to this team, the pressure they can share with the city will naturally be different.

Of course, the premise of all this is that Zhao Yun can convince the Cheshi Wang to switch sides and join them to deal with the Wusun people.

As for the death of his son, he had seen a king who could even package up and sell his wife's country. Zhao Yun really didn't dare to have too high expectations for this king of the Western Regions. Maybe his son would be killed for fun, and one or two would die. It's okay.

"General, be careful. The general is waiting for news here!" Now that Zhao Yun has made up his mind, Qin Yi no longer wastes his words. Military officers are not people who like to talk much. The smile on his face would not have been matched with him if he hadn't already If you are familiar with him, you will definitely feel that this person is gloating about his misfortune.

Zhao Yun glanced at Qin Yi's smiling face awkwardly and nodded. He didn't go immediately. Instead, he asked someone to find some merchant clothes. He still brought four people with him, and also asked someone to bring a cart from Yiwu. After loading the goods, the five people drove all the way into Jiaohe City.

General Wusun checked the goods as usual and saw that they contained pieces of cloth sent from the big man. Although it was not the silk before, it was still good stuff, so he took two pieces without ceremony.

One of the soldiers was a little angry and glared at the Wusun people, but was stopped by Zhao Yun.

The Wusun people glanced at Zhao Yun with some regret, waved their hands impatiently, and told them to get out of the city.

"General, the Wusun people just wanted to find a reason to kill us and then seize the goods!" A soldier said to Zhao Yun with lingering fear.

Zhao Yun nodded silently, these Wusun people were really lawless!

If he hadn't stopped him just now, the plan to sneak into the city might have ended immediately.

"Go ahead and have a look in the city and wait for an opportunity to meet the King of Chariots." Zhao Yun naturally doesn't want to cause trouble now. He will make plans for all problems after meeting the King of Chariots.

After everyone entered the city, they should first find a place to stay, and then Zhao Yun asked the four of them to take the silk cloth to sell, and also to find out information and see what the Che Master's attitude was towards Wusun.

The result was pretty much what Zhao Yun had expected. It was also done by the Wusun people themselves. After coming to the Cheshi Kingdom, robbing things was normal. He often raped women, killed family members, and even caused several riots. Although they were all killed in the end. It has calmed down, but the conflict or hatred between the two sides is getting deeper and deeper.
