Chapter 1169

Zhang Chengsi made a decision soon after he asked for it. He said, "what Jia Gong said is very true. For the sake of today's plan, we must dispatch Yizhou army. In addition, 30% of the Chang'an garrison went west to Liangzhou. "

"Your Highness is wise!"

When Jia Xu heard this, he was also relieved.

Now the situation is extremely unfavorable for Daqin. At present, we can only dispatch Yizhou military region and the troops stationed in Chang'an to rush to help and stabilize the situation for the time being.

Others also agreed with Zhang Cheng's decision.

After a lot of deliberation, they discussed many details, and ordered the troops to take action in the name of the imperial court. When the imperial court made a response, on the other side, the army led by Zhang Xiu also made a quick return.

When the army led by Zhang Xiu entered Hanoi Prefecture, they received news from the imperial court about Liangzhou in the western regions. Zhang Xiu was shocked when she saw the news.

The reason why he was shocked was not the invasion of the Hu people in the western regions, or the capture of Jiuquan and Zhangye by the troops of the Kushan Empire, but the fact that the other side had guns.

Zhang Xiu knows both artillery and firearm, but even Zhang Xiu knows it, because of today's steel-making technology, as well as today's overall technology, it is difficult to make parts such as gun bore and barrel.

Therefore, Daqin had gunpowder, but no artillery.

But they had guns.

You know, the real artillery is in the Ming Dynasty, which makes the artillery status respected, is the key weapon. However, it will be more than 1000 years later.

Nowadays, there are no guns in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms.

The Kushan Empire, however, had artillery.

It's shocking.

It's even more puzzling.

Zhang Xiu's mind, suddenly thought of the Japanese Tokugawa Jiakang. His eyes narrowed and he was thinking. Previously, there was Tokugawa Jiakang's crossing. Now, the countries in the western regions are unified ahead of time, and even have artillery. This means that Tokugawa Jiakang may have happened in the Kushan empire of the western regions.

Someone must have crossed.

Otherwise, the western regions would not have artillery.

Zhang Xiu's heart is also worried about the situation in Liangzhou. With the help of artillery, Gao Lan and pound could not resist. Because of the existence of artillery, the fortified city is not a fortified city. It is not easy to resist the artillery bombing.

Just as Zhang Xiu had gunpowder, he could easily break Liucheng and destroy Wuhuan.

That's the same thing.

When Zhang Xiu told Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Pang Tong and others about the situation, she stopped delaying and ordered them to go at full speed. Under the full speed of the army, it didn't take too much time. In less than three days, Zhang Xiu had led her troops back to Chang'an.

It was near the end of April.

The weather is getting warmer.

The sunny weather is very suitable for outing. But now, Zhang Xiu has no idea. The bright mood of returning home from Wozhou was also dispelled by the haze of Liangzhou.

The troops were stationed, while Zhang Xiu went straight into the palace.

First, he met with Zhang Cheng and listened to Zhang Cheng's report on the recent operation of government affairs. After a general understanding, Zhang Xiu called in cabinet members and inquired about Liangzhou. She learned that Zhang Ren had been transferred to Liangzhou according to Jia Xu's arrangement, and a part of Chang'an's garrison had been transferred to Liangzhou. Zhang Xiu was also relieved.

Especially the latest, no news has been sent back.

No news is good news.

Once bad news comes back, it will be extremely dangerous for Daqin.

Without much delay, Zhang Xiu immediately mobilized the remaining troops of the Chang'an military region stationed in Chang'an, and Zhao Yun went to war with Zhang Xiu. In addition, the fierce tiger army led by Gan Ning also followed Zhang Xiu to fight.

Huang Zhong was stationed in Chang'an. On the one hand, he was stationed in Chang'an. On the other hand, he recruited soldiers to restore the fighting capacity of the flying bear army.

When Zhang Xiu left, she still took Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Pang Tong and others with her. In addition, the generals of the army such as shamoke and Lu Bu were also there. They were on their way to Liangzhou.

At the same time, the royal guards are also quick to get information.

When Zhang Xiu arrived at the Liangzhou border and Jixian County, he temporarily settled down in Jixian County.

Jixian county is the center of Liangzhou.

The political center of Liangzhou was here, and Yang Xiu, as the governor of Liangzhou, was also in Jixian County. The first thing after Zhang Xiu arrived was to call Yang Xiu and ask about the current situation in Liangzhou.

Yang Xiu, with a solemn face, reported: "Your Majesty, the people who attacked Jiuquan and Zhangye this time are the Kushan empire in the West. The strength of this country is extremely strong, and their weapons are also very powerful. "

"Their troops have been based in Jiuquan and Zhangye."

"Previously, Gao Lan and pound led their troops to fight against each other. Because of the powerful weapons of the other side and the large number of troops of the other side, the Liangzhou army led by Gao Lan was defeated, so they retreated to Weiwu county."

Yang Xiuse said: "now Zhang Ren and a part of Chang'an army have entered. After the new forces of the two armies have gathered together, Gaolan has a foothold in guzang County of Weiwu county to resist the advance of the Kushan empire."

Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice: "is there no news of winning?""No!"

Yang Xiu looked ashamed.

As the governor of Liangzhou, he governed the local areas. It is reasonable to say that under his administration, Liangzhou had good political and human relations, and everything developed very well, even compared with some states in the Central Plains, it was no inferior.

But now, it's in vain.

Everything, it's all gone.

Zhang Xiu big sleeve a brush, the heart is not happy. In the face of the Kushan empire's attack, even if the enemy is fierce, even if there are a large number of enemies, they have no strength to fight back and no posture to fight back.

This kind of guard, let Zhang Xiu not like.

Zhang Xiu just lingered in the assassin's residence for a little while, and then ordered her to leave for Weiwu county.

Now, we have to arrive early.

When Zhang Xiu is here, everyone has the backbone.

All the way, Zhang Xiu's army didn't stop and rushed all the way. At the beginning of May, he arrived in guzang County of Weiwu county and joined the army led by Zhang Ren and Gao Lan.

All troops, enter the city.

When the army settled down, Zhang Xiu immediately called together Gao Lan, pound, Zhang Ren and others to discuss the counter attack strategy.

For Zhang Xiu, Daqin would never admit advice.

If the Kushan Empire dares to kill her, Zhang Xiu wants to kill her back.

Tooth for tooth, blood for blood.

Zhang Xiu's eyes fell on Gao Lan and said: "Gao Lan, talk about the army situation of Kushan empire. And the general of the Kushan empire. "

"Here it is

Gao Lan answered and said slowly, "please tell your majesty that the troops of Kushan empire are stationed in Zhangye County for the time being. The number of its troops is as many as 100000. The commander-in-chief of the other side's army, named dijean, was very cunning, and his use of troops was as quiet as a virgin. He was extremely cautious when it was time to calm down. When it's time to attack, he's as fierce as a snake. This man is very difficult to deal with. "

Zhang Xiu nodded and said, "what do you think of the other side's new guns?"

Artillery, that's the key.

It is also the focus of this war.
