Chapter 1200

Wang Yue bowed respectfully to Zhang Xiu and said, "Your Majesty, I have just received two pieces of news."

Zhang xiudao: "which two pieces of news?"

Wang Yue replied: "the first news is that the army led by generals such as Gan Ning and Zhao Yun has swept Zhangye and Jiuquan counties. Our army has been stationed at the Jiuquan border and can enter the western regions at any time. "

"The second piece of news is from Kushan. The great emperor of Kushan, Wei sudiva, who learned that modi had been defeated, had personally mobilized her troops to kill her in Jiuquan county."

Wang Yue said: "this time, the number of weisudiva's troops reached nearly 200000."

"Two hundred thousand?"

Hearing this, Zhang Xiu raised her eyebrows and said, "are there so many people?"

Wang Yue replied, "it's true that 200000 troops have been mobilized. Even these 200000 troops are only elite soldiers in combat. I'm afraid that the number of troops mobilized in this guishuang event will be more than 256 000."

Zhang Xiu's eyes narrowed slightly, thinking about the situation of guishuang's sending troops.

Zhang Xiu's Daqin was able to touch 2560000 troops at one time. The problem is that the deployment of such a large number of troops, once the army is defeated, will be tantamount to a disaster for Daqin, and will affect the stability of the whole Daqin.

This is what Zhang Xiu doesn't want to do.

Similarly, Zhang Xiu believes that guishuang is the same.

As for Kushan, because modi had damaged more than 100000 troops before, on this premise, Kushan again mobilized 250000 troops, or even more troops, which must have exhausted its national strength.

Otherwise, there can be no such battle.

Zhang Xiu asked: "Wang Yue, do we have many hands available for Kushan?"

Wang Yue said: "we have a lot of people in Kushan, but they are all unimportant people. After all, the people sent by the royal guards to Kushan have just entered and have not made any breakthrough for the time being. Now, that is to say, we can get some public information, but we can't get confidential information. "

Zhang Xiu said: "even if you don't get in touch with important people, it doesn't matter. You send orders to the royal guards of Kushan, ask them to move as far as possible, inquire about the news closely, and then make friends with the power of Kushan. In particular, make friends with people who disagree with vesuva. As a result, Vasudeva was defeated in the front line, and then there was trouble in the rear. "

Wang Yue said: "I understand your humble position!"

Zhang Xiu once again said, "if the order goes on, we will leave today and go to Jiuquan to meet Gan Ning, Chen Zhi and others. As far as I know, to the west of Jiuquan County, there is Dunhuang county. However, the former Dunhuang county was no longer under control. It used to be an active place in the western regions. Now it is under the control of Kushan as the boundary of Kushan. I don't know if Gan Ning and others have entered Dunhuang. "

Wang Yue said: "there is no news back."

Zhang xiudao said: "when we arrive, we will know. You can send a message. We will leave today."

"Here it is

The more the king got the order, he immediately went to send it.

It was only half an hour before the army got everything ready and set out for Jiuquan county. Originally, according to Xun Yu's suggestion, some military officers and men who had contact with women in Dichi county were prepared to stay.

However, the incident happened suddenly, but now it can only be put on hold, because in the guishuang area, Wei sudiva personally led the troops to kill, and Zhang Xiu must rush to the front line as soon as possible, so that she can take command.

The army set out on a mighty journey.

However, the speed of the journey was slightly accelerated. Towards the evening, the sun was setting in the West. Under the golden sun, the afterglow of the setting sun was scattered on the horizon, making the whole western horizon red.

The army led by Zhang Xiu has stopped.

The troops rest and camp in the same place. The auxiliary soldiers in the camp are already cooking and chatting. The whole camp is filled with the fragrance of rice.

"There are green mountains and green waters ahead. Look, there are green mountains and green waters ahead."

There were soldiers in the army, suddenly shouting.

One by one, the soldiers looked forward and saw a hazy scene in the air not far away. In this scene, there are green mountains and green waters, and the rising smoke, as well as some people and sheep, a harmonious scene.

Xun Yu, Guo Jia and Pang Tong were all around Zhang Xiu.

Everyone looked up and saw it.

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it looks like a scene emerging from the air. It's not too far away from us. It's better to send a sentry to inquire about the situation. Now we are camping. There is no village in front of us, no shop behind us, and even desert nearby. If you can stay in the front, you can not only replenish water, but also some food, and the soldiers can have a good rest. "

Xun Yu said, "Your Majesty, I agree with you."

Ponte said solemnly, "Your Majesty, I agree. Although it's summer and it's not too cold at night, it's not convenient for us to camp in the wilderness. It would be better to camp in the village. "One by one, they keep talking.

Even some generals in the army came to speak one after another.

They think they can find out the situation ahead.

Zhang Xiu listened to the people's words, but she shook her head and said, "ladies and gentlemen, the scene emerging in front of us is not a real village, but an illusion. It's called a mirage. It's a scene from a far away place, projected to us not far away. In fact, it's invisible. "

Everyone was very surprised.

Mirage!

You can see it, you can't touch it!

This matter sounds very mysterious, but no one doubts Zhang Xiu. Because Zhang Xiu's understanding of a lot of knowledge is beyond their ability. First there are sweet potatoes, then there are gunpowder, etc. Zhang Xiu is very clear, but people don't know.

So Zhang Xiu's explanation is believed by everyone.

Guo Jia said with emotion: "unfortunately, it would be great if it could be close. Especially in this case, it feels like a fairyland, quiet and elegant

Others echoed.

Many people think that this may also be a fairyland.

But there is Zhang Xiu in, after all, no one to take any action, is still in place.

The rice is fragrant and the meat is delicious.

With the order for dinner, the soldiers in the army have forgotten the mirage in the distance. After all, after the surprise lasted for a while, it had dissipated. The soldiers chatted with each other, but they had to eat when it was time to eat.

The army rested all night, and the next morning.

The army set out again.

It's not easy to go on this way, because although the official way is ready-made, we just need to go along the official way. But the problem is that some of the official roads are close to the desert. It's not easy because of the strong wind and sand.

As a result, the speed of driving is slower.

It was late July when Zhang Xiu's army arrived at Shatou County, the border of Jiuquan county.

It's still hot.

The temperature difference between day and night is still huge.

Shatou county is not far from Dunhuang county. You can enter Dunhuang County in less than a day's journey. However, there are also Kushan troops stationed on the border of Dunhuang County today. Although weisudiva of Kushan country has not come yet, there are actually many troops stationed on the border. As a result, it was not easy for the Qin army to invade.

The army led by Zhang Xiu converged with Gan Ning, Zhao Yun and others, and all entered the army.

In the big account of the Chinese army.

Zhang Xiu sat on the throne, looked around Gan Ning, Zhao Yun and others, and said: "tell me, what's the situation now? And when will the army of visudiva arrive in Dunhuang county? "

Gan Ning, with a serious look, reported quickly: "report back to your majesty, according to the information sent back by the sentinel. The army of vesuvativa will arrive at the border of Dunhuang County in two days. "

"The Kushan army stationed at maishan on the border and seized the commanding height of maishan."

"There are more than 30000 troops stationed at the top of the mountain alone. In addition, there are more than 60000 troops in the rear camp at the foot of the mountain. If we want to attack, we must first seize the commanding height of maishan. "

"Otherwise, it will not be easy to attack."

Gan Ning, with a look of shame, said: "I have attacked several times, but they all ended in failure."

Zhang Xiu listened and nodded.

If the general situation is clear, it will be easier for us to deal with it. We won't be blind. Zhang Xiu looked around Guo Jia, Pang Tong and others and said, "now you know the situation of the border. Tell me, what do you suggest? "
