Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 160: Back to Chang'an

"Get up!!" Zhang Liao thrust his spear through Wusun Shanyu's belt, and exerted strength with both arms, picking him up and landing on Zhao Yun's horse.

Zhao Yun understood, pulled out his belt, turned around and tied his hands. Capturing Wusun Shanyu alive was much more powerful than killing him directly. It happened that there were no presents when returning to Chang'an this time, so let's bring back some local products from the Western Regions!

Zhang Liao saw Wusun Shanyu captured alive, many Wusun generals rushed towards this side frantically, laughed loudly, swiped the spears in their hands, and beheaded seven Wusun generals in a row, the Wusun army who directly killed them was terrified.

On the other side, Zhao Yun's spear shot out like a dragon, and there was no one who joined him wherever he passed. The two joined up with their respective cavalry again, and once again entered Wusun's formation.

Wusun lost Shan Yu and was killed again, throwing away his helmet and armor. He had long forgotten the ambition of revenge when he came, and now he only regretted that he sat down on his horse and didn't have four more legs. He ran too slowly and fled back in embarrassment.

Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun did not stop there, they each led their soldiers and horses, and followed them. They chased for three days and covered more than 300 miles. The dead bodies were strewn across the fields between the Tianshan and Altai Mountains, and the Wusun people who were killed were crying. Father called mother, and even in the end, many Wusun people who were killed knelt down and begged to surrender, unwilling to leave again, so the two gave up and returned with Wusun Shanyu and 10,000 Wusun prisoners on the sixth day Jiaohe City.

Looking at the dark Jiangjun, and Wusun Shanyu, whom he was not even qualified to meet before, Che Shiwang only felt that he was living in a dream.

Wusun... 70,000 troops, just like that... completely defeated?

After the astonishment passed, all that was left was to surrender to the five bodies of Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun. After living in the Western Regions for most of his life, all he saw was Wusun's power and ferocity, but he never thought that Wusun would be beaten like this one day Miserable, the most important thing is that this is one against ten!

From the beginning to the end, he saw only so many Han troops, but he completely defeated Wusun's army, and even captured Shan Yu alive.

At this moment, Che Shiwang suddenly felt a little grateful for his choice. Fortunately, he had stood firmly on the side of the big man from the beginning, and it seemed that his choice was right.

The next step is simple, King Che Shi warmly entertained Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun, and invited Zhang Liao to build the Protectorate of the Western Regions in Che Shi Country.

"Zilong, after this battle, your position as the Protector of the Western Regions is stable." Zhang Liao looked at Zhao Yun with a smile and said, "After I leave, you will be the new Protector of the Western Regions. I don't think anyone will be dissatisfied. As for this It is up to you to decide where to build the Protectorate of the Western Regions!"

"Thank you, General!" Zhao Yun thanked Zhang Liao from the bottom of his heart. If Zhang Liao had not delegated power, he would not have been able to adapt to the Western Regions so quickly, nor could he have been recognized by the soldiers so quickly. Although the Western Regions are indeed bitter and cold, think about the past. Marquis Yuan, this place is also a place where the great Han spread his might to other lands.

In addition, under the auspices of Lu Bu, the exchanges between the Han Dynasty and the Western Regions are getting stronger and stronger. Here, I am indeed a place to make contributions.

Apart from Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun is also very grateful to Lu Bu, no matter what his position is, but during that time in Chang'an, Zhao Yun was very upset.

The person who he wholeheartedly defends regards himself as nothing, but the person who is regarded as a big traitor is concerned about the country and the people, and he is given the opportunity to show his power in the Western Regions.

Now that Zhao Yun chooses to stay in the Western Regions, besides making great achievements, there is also a reason to repay Lu Bu's favor. The right and wrong of the court are too complicated, and he doesn't want to care about them. Maintaining peace on the Silk Road also seems to be good.

Whether it is Chen Qun or Xun You, don't they all hope that they can leave Chang'an as soon as possible? Now it seems good to stay in the Western Regions, at least here, there are not so many intrigues.

After thanking Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun opened the map and saw that Jiaohe City is indeed important. The most important thing is that it can block the attack of Wusun people. In addition, he also borrowed a lot of people from Yiwu, Yizhi and other places to fight against Wusun. Li, the land of Cheshi, happens to be where the Altai Mountains and the Tianshan Mountains meet. I build the Western Regions Protectorate here, which can deter Wusun, Qiuci, and Yanqi, the big countries in the Western Regions. Some of these countries in the Western Regions who supported themselves had asylum.

"Now that Wusun has been defeated, he has no more power to invade the south. Just like the Hu people outside the Great Wall, there will still be looting. The line of Kunlun Mountains has been established, and the line of Altai Mountains is now unstable. This can really scare Xiao Xiao, what does the general think?" Zhao Yun asked Zhang Liao after thinking for a while.

"I've said it all, you can make the decision, and I won't take care of the matter hereafter!" Zhang Liao laughed.

Although the imperial edict has not yet come down, he is already preparing to decentralize power.

"Great! Then it's settled!" Che Shi Wang said excitedly.

"What are you happy about? The Protectorate of the Western Regions was built here. Although it has shelter, it will inevitably need your support." Zhang Liao glanced at Che Shiwang and said.

"It's okay. In the future, the Protectorate of the Western Regions will directly protect you, so you still have to pay what is due." Wang Che said with a smile.

Why did the Protectorate of the Western Regions back then?

The imperial government’s policy is one aspect, but the Western Region’s pure expenditure but no income is also another aspect. It basically protects the Western Region countries, but does not collect taxes. This may also be an important reason.

Now that people want to stay, they still have to give what should be given. Lu Bu is not rich and generous now, but he mainly collects business taxes. The Western Regions are responsible for maintaining law and order in the Western Regions. However, the business and tax tycoon here has to collect part of it, so that the tycoon can be self-sufficient in the Western Regions.

In the next period of time, Zhang Liao wrote to the imperial court, informing Lu Bu of Wusun's great victory, and at the same time summarized Zhao Yun's achievements to Lu Bu, as well as Zhang Liao's evaluation of Zhao Yun. Let Zhao Yun take over his position as the Protector of the Western Regions.

The imperial court did not reply for a while, but in October, because of Wusun's affairs, Chen Bing Shule from Dawan made King Shule ask Zhang Liao for help.

By this time, Zhang Liao had received 10,000 Wusun soldiers, and the troops at hand were no longer as stretched as before. Zhao Yun was asked to continue to preside over the relocation of the Western Regions Protectorate in the Cheshi State, while Zhang Liao led 15,000 troops. The Allied Forces of Nations rushed all the way to Shule.

Seeing the mobilization of troops here, Dawan was naturally not to be outdone, and joined forces with Kangju to send 100,000 troops, wanting to teach the Han people a lesson.

Originally, Zhang Liao was still worrying about how to find an excuse to clean up the two countries, and Lu Bu's letter began to ask him to greet the two countries, but Kangju and the Western Regions had no relationship, and Dawan and Dahan had no enmity in the past. .

Now Dawan and Kang Ju joined forces to attack Zhang Liao nervously.

With 5,000 people, he dared to kill Wusun directly. Now he has nearly 20,000 soldiers including Shule soldiers. What's more, it's the coalition forces of the two countries. Although Zhang Liao's subordinates are also miscellaneous troops, Zhang Liao has absolute control. Does the other party have it?

The two sides confronted each other at Congling, Zhang Liao went to Wuji City to send troops, at the junction of Congling and Altai Mountain, he was the first to win the battle, and the surprise soldiers raided the opponent's back, cutting off the opponent's food and grass supplies. Before the formal confrontation, the 100,000 troops dispersed, and then Zhang Liao went all the way. He led his army out of Congling, and fought three consecutive battles with the Dawan and Kangju coalition forces in Dawan territory, winning three battles and three victories, and finally fought all the way to the city of Guishan. , After joining the big family of the Western Regions, Zhang Liao accepted the certificate of credence and the local specialties such as a thousand horses of Dawan horses submitted by the other party, and withdrew from the territory of Dawan. When he returned to Shule, it was already late November, after a few days of recuperation in Shule , Before the first month, I rushed back to Che Shiguo, and at this time Lu Bu's letter was also delivered.

"General Wen Yuan, the previous award has just been awarded, but this time he has made a great contribution, I will admire him!" Zhao Yun said with admiration when he saw Zhang Liao come back and went out of the city to meet him.

Although the alliance under Guishan City is a bit domineering, Dawan has also been included in the Western Regions so far. I heard that Guishuang has recruited Wusun, Dawan and Kangju to jointly exert pressure and want to control the Silk Road. Now Wusun is alone After being captured, Dawan was also punished by Zhang Liao, willing to join under the rule of the Protectorate of the Western Regions. In this way, only Kang Ju was left as an ally for Guishuang.

But in the battle of Dawan, the 100,000 coalition forces also had Kangju's share, and Kangju was still willing to listen to Guishuang?

"Zilong is serious." Zhang Liao returned to Jiaohe City with Zhao Yun, and received the letter from Chang'an. It was indeed a matter of handing over the Western Regions Governor. Zhang Liao, Qin Yi, Li Hei and other generals were led back to Chang'an to report on their duties.

"The matter of the Western Regions has now come to an end. After I leave, Zilong only needs to maintain the business road. From Dawan in the west to Juyan in the east, Xianbei people, Guishuang people, and Wusun people all need to be on guard. Although it's nothing serious, the burden on Zilong's shoulders is not light." Zhang Liao put away the letter, looked at Zhao Yun and said with a smile.

"The general understands." Zhao Yun nodded, and made the final handover with Zhang Liao. Zhao Yun must understand the troops under the Protectorate of the Western Regions, as well as the soldiers stationed in various countries to communicate with the Protectorate of the Western Regions, otherwise, in the future The Chinese envoys from these countries did not know who to turn to when they came back.

Zhang Liao stayed in the Western Regions for a few more days, and after handing over everything about him to Zhao Yun, he took Qin Yi, Li Hei, and Wusun Shanyu along to Chang'an.

Unlike when Zhao Yun came, Zhang Liao had been away from the Central Plains for almost four years. Now that he is returning home, it is like an arrow, not only him, but also Qin Yi, Li Hei and others. Finally rushed back to Chang'an in early March.
