The Allied forces of the western regions attacked in three directions, and Liu Rui led the army to easily defeat the forward of one of them. Then Li Kuang also received war reports from two other places, both of which defeated the forward of the enemy at a very slight cost.
"People in the western regions are so unprepared?"
"They are united by countries or tribes. The composition is too complex. Even if they are willing to obey the command of the Kucha people, the establishment and orders of each country and tribe are different."
It is also said that in the western regions, many countries and tribes form a coalition, and then the brigands defecte. Even if the Kucha people want to carry out unified establishment and orders, those countries and tribes will not be willing. What's more, if you have more forces, you must have more thoughts. It's rare to concentrate on one. What else do you want?
"Is there any possibility of showing the enemy's weakness?"
"This possibility is not ruled out, but..."
"Well... It's really impossible to have a strong army in the western regions."
"Throughout the history of the western regions for hundreds of thousands of years, only Wusun came out."
Once Wusun was strong because he was able to pull out forty or fifty thousand cavalry, not to say how high the civilization was or how strong the army was.
Although the western region is larger than the Central Plains, there are too many countries. Moreover, it is full of Gobi and desert, which is different from the environment of the Central Plains.
In the long-term history, some countries in the western region can be regarded as a great power if they can arm 20000 people, and those who can pull out more than 50000 troops are superpowers. For example, Wusun can pull out 40000 or 50000 cavalry, which is regarded as a superpower in the western region, but the so-called superpowers in the western region can't change anything when facing foreign powers.
"The trouble of occupying the western regions lies not in war, but in how to govern."
"Fortunately, we don't care how to manage. We just hold the idea of stop loss in advance."
In the same sentence, the central plains are in a state of erosion, and the Han people don't care about destroying the western regions at all.
At present, the Han state only marched into the western regions with the idea of robbery from top to bottom. It doesn't matter whether it can fight or not. The purpose is to rob more materials and population.
Li Kuang originally came to fight the incoming enemy in three ways. Even he had a plan for the battle plan, but he had to give up later.
The reason is that Li Kuang has received a notice from the rear. Xie an has led the army out of Yangguan. If there is no accident, he will arrive in half a month.
"Zhonglang will come with a standing army, and the enemy will take the initiative to attack, which has great prospects."
"That's right. The people of the western regions didn't detect our reinforcements. They can take this opportunity to lure and annihilate them."
Not only did they give up the plan to fight, they also retreated more than 100 miles in six days, creating the illusion of hasty evacuation. Some facilities in the camp were discarded, and they deliberately left some tents, food and grass and a small part of ordnance.
When Li Kuang's Han army retreated, the three routes of the Western alliance army attacked the Han army from different directions, and naturally the plan went bankrupt.
The Western allied forces met at the original camp of the Han Army, and 60000 or 70000 people directly entered the camp abandoned by the Han army. They were attacked that night by cavalry wearing Han Army robes, and the Han Army hiding earlier emerged from the underground of the camp. They set fire wantonly, and the fire soon spread.
That is to say, the people of the western regions are stupid. As long as they pay attention to observation after entering the camp, they will inevitably find that there are too many hay piles and pay attention to the layout. However, after they entered the camp, they only competed for ordnance, tents and food and grass. They quarreled over the materials left by the Han Army and even fought. No one noticed that there was too much hay in the camp.
How many people in the western regions were killed and burned by a fire? It is estimated that even the people in the western regions can't figure out. When the camp burns, all the people in the periphery can run away. Moreover, the composition of the western region coalition forces is too complicated and chaotic. The number of deaths and injuries can not be calculated, and the lost materials can not be calculated. Only the living people have lingering palpitations.
"Promote the man named Liu Bo to the head of the village."
"Yes, there should be an example."
Liu Bo is chizhelu! He was very outstanding in that attack camp. First, he took the Han Army as a guide to hide. After attacking the camp, he took most of the troops away safely. He himself captured 13 enemy leaders. One of them seemed to be a "ghost blow". He really made contributions just after he defected.
"Ghost blowing" is a direct transliteration, that is, the leader of a tribe in the western regions. The tribal leader has more than 1000 people under his hands, that is, a head equivalent to a thousand captains.
Of course, it is impossible for Li Kuang to appoint Liu Bo as the chief of the regular army, and it is impossible to connect with semi official and semi civilian armed forces. He can only be placed in a team selected from the western regions as the chief of the village.
At present, there are not many western people in the Han Army, that is, the scale of more than 2000 people. Most of them are Shanshan people, including some messy brigands. They are counted as servants in the army.
Naturally, calculating military merit and calculating titles are two different things. At least before people like Liu Bo were classified into Han nationality, they would not get titles at all because they were rewarded with property.
After the Han army retreated more than 100 Li, the Western allied forces stopped to rest after being burned by fire. The two armies had not moved for about six days, but just sent scouts to closely monitor each other.
"Will the enemy return to the white dragon pile?"
In the final analysis, Li Kuang still has some regrets, but he also knows that regret is useless. If they don't withdraw far, the Western allied forces won't enter the abandoned camp. Even if they enter the abandoned camp, they won't be so careless. Things can't be perfect. If they can achieve that kind of achievement, they should be satisfied.
What the Han army can't be sure of now is whether the Western allied forces will retreat after the loss. If the Western allied forces retreat, don't say anything about luring and annihilating.
"The news has been spread that there is a rebellion in China and we want to go back to fight the rebellion..." Fan Jin frowned and continued: "after we stationed troops in Yangguan, the western regions don't know what happened in our own land and can't get the news of our own land. Should they believe it?"
Before the Han state gathered its young people, the western regions were more or less able to spy on the information in the northwest of the Han state. The roads behind them were blocked by the Han state, and even at present, there are cruising guards. It is difficult for people in the western regions to get the information in the mainland of the Han state.
Before the blockade, the people of the western regions must have spied on the northwest. Some time ago, there was chaos in the northwest, and a large-scale arrest of key criminals occurred, and many people were killed. Then it seems that there is a high degree of credibility when it comes to the rebellion in the northwest?
"It's not abrupt for us to stop here now." Li Kuang also frowned: "is it reasonable for us to retreat and find them chasing and stop again to avoid collapse?"
"..." Fan Jin was a little uncertain: "why don't you... Evacuate step by step?"
Li Kuang was silent for a while, calculated Xie an's itinerary, recalled the surrounding environment, and nodded behind.
Both sides have arranged scouts to monitor. There will be delays in spying for any information, and it is also possible that the person delivering the information will be intercepted, but the information will eventually be known by the other party's senior management. The difference is only the length of time.
"The Han army is evacuating again." Baiku is the nominal commander-in-chief of the coalition army who attacked from bailongdui. His appearance looks a little sad. His hair is burned. He simply shaved his head and left a burn scar on his face. It is the kind of swelling that seems to be purulent: "the information of the rebellion in the Han people's country has become somewhat credible."
The current king of Kucha is Bai Chun. He ascended the throne of Kucha last year.
The Kucha royal family is surnamed Bai. They became the Kucha royal family or the result of the support of the Eastern Han Dynasty. In the ninth year of the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 84), ban Chao abolished yulio, the king of Kucha, and established baiba as the king of Kucha. Since then, the Bai family has inherited it.
The Bai family began as the king of Kucha from baiba and passed it down for three generations. When Baishan became the king of Kucha, Kucha became hostile to Yanqi, another big country in the western region.
Baishan sent his son to Jin as a hostage and took him to the thigh of Jin.
Later, the hatred between Baishan and Wang Long'an of Yanqi grew stronger and stronger. At that time, the state of Jin entered a period of decline. Not only the kings attacked each other, but also Zhu Hu rose and rebelled constantly. When Yanqi saw that the state of Jin had no spare time to care about the life and death of kuci, it attacked and killed Baishan by the son of Long'an.
The Dragon Club killed Baishan and conquered its capital city and established itself as the king of Kucha. Because it often lived in the wilderness and was killed by Luo Yun, a member of the Kucha state, the king of Kucha returned to the White House.
It was last year (349 AD) that the Bai family became the Kucha royal family again. After regaining power, the Bai family desperately needed to establish its prestige, at least to offset the influence of the Dragon society ruling Kucha, and let Yanqi have nothing to say. There was no more direct choice than to resist the Han people re entering the western regions.
"Even if it's true, we......" Luo Yun looked at how many people in the account were embarrassed: "it's difficult to pursue immediately."
Luo Yun is a great benefactor of the Kucha royal family. It doesn't matter what his status was before. Now he is a powerful general. He was also embarrassed. His shaved brain bag was wrapped in cloth, and his left face was swollen.
Why are the names of Kucha people similar to those of Zhuxia? It should be mentioned that Kucha people actually didn't have a surname. Since ban Chao recovered Kucha and supported baiba, Kucha has been slowly sinicized. At present, people with Chinese surname in Kucha are the mainstream. People with some identity will find a Chinese surname for themselves at the first time. Only some people who are nothing don't pay attention to that.
In fact, Kucha is the second most loyal subsidiary of the Han Dynasty in the western region besides Shanshan, Ban Yong, the son of ban Chao, subdued Bai Ying, the king of Kucha at that time in the fourth year of Yanguang of the Eastern Han Dynasty (A.D. 125). Then Kucha sent troops to join the Han Army and attack the chariot division together. Later, Kucha people also participated in the battle to defeat King Yili and King Huyan of the Huns. It was still the mode of servant troops who both sent troops and military expenses and brought their own dry food.
Since the Han people are kind to the white family of Kucha, how can Kucha stand up as an anti Han pioneer? Isn't that very clear? The Han Dynasty has long been gone. Even if it is still there, unless the Han Dynasty has always been strong, there will be no kindness between countries.
Shanshan people still remember the kindness of the Han people to them. It is that the Shanshan people are weak enough to hold the Han father's thigh again.
The Kucha people did not call the Han father, but regarded him as an enemy. It was the Kucha people who felt strong and held the thigh of hunnit and Yue, not to mention the thigh of xigaoche.
When they sent troops, they were not said to be in high spirits, but they still had more or less self-confidence. After a fire, everyone was so embarrassed. Only 40000 or 50000 people gathered again, which was the same as that of the Han army. But the materials really had to bottom out, let alone pursue, how to retreat was a problem.
Baiku has sent people to urgently collect military grain and corresponding materials, which will be delivered in about four or five days. He believed the news of the rebellion in the Han people's country and had an idea of pursuing.
Catch up with a world war or something. If the number of troops in Baiku is not more than three times that of the Han Army, it is completely afraid to fight. What he wants is to make a chase. It's best not to have a war and let the Han army return to Yangguan by itself. At that time, he can boast that he drove the Han army back, so that he will become a hero in the western regions.
Heroes only need to be attached to their prestige. At that time, the white library will become famous, and kuci will become a famous superpower in the western regions. That's a good thing. At the very least, how dare Yanqi show his teeth to tortoise again?
Baiku hesitated now that the Han army began to retreat in batches, should they take action? Otherwise, even if the Han Army really withdrew to Yangguan, they didn't seriously compete with the Han Army, and they were burned. How could they be better in reputation?
When Luo Yun heard the same truth, he clenched his teeth and said, "at most... He can send out 3000 cavalry.", Then he looked at Fu Jian who had not said a word.
Fu Jian was one of the people in the account who didn't look embarrassed. The other was Kure, the commander of xigaoche. At that time, they did not enter the camp abandoned by the Han army. They chose to camp outside to avoid being burned, but they were also attacked by the disorderly army. It was impossible to say that there was no loss.
"It's your business to send troops to pursue." Fu Jian looked back at Luo Yun expressionless: "we won't send a soldier."
In an instant, the atmosphere in the account became very strange. Luo Yun was extremely embarrassed, Bai Ku was angry and helpless, and the others hesitated in addition to being angry.
Baiku had to say, "does general Fu think the Han people have a plot and should not be pursued?"
"I don't know if there is a conspiracy." Fu Jian still looked at Luo Yun and said without any emotion, "Luo Xia fought face to face with the Han army once."
Luo Xia is Luo Yun's clan. The so-called face-to-face battle means that three or four thousand people were taken away by the Han army.
"Han people have a famous saying called 'don't chase a poor enemy' and 'mourning for a soldier will win'." Fu Jiancai didn't care if those were two famous words, nor did he intend to save face for anyone: "the Han army you are facing is not a poor enemy. They are an army that has not suffered heavy losses."
Fu Jian doesn't have to say more later. If the Han Army really wants to go back to fight the rebellion, anyone who bumps into it at this time must be prepared to be hit by anger.
After Bai Ku thought about it, his face was alternating black and white. He was really unstable. What should I do.
