Chapter 767 The powerful Han caravan
On the road, he met Han soldiers patrolling, and when he saw Liu Xin, he nodded slightly to Liu Xin. Liu Xin saw many Han caravans selling goods outside many villages and towns, and many of the people in those caravans were local people.
, or bought slaves, labor is cheap here, and the use of slaves is allowed, as long as the slaves are not abused.
Such a war is completely beyond everyone's understanding, and the two empires can fight like this in a war. Because the big man is so powerful in terms of soft power, he can make the people of the Kushan Empire surrender to him without using swords and guns.
As time goes by, Han's influence here will become greater and greater, and this influence is irreversible.
Liu Xin knew that Jianishejia must have a headache now, but the other party would not have any solution. The only thing he could do now was to fight the Han Empire as soon as possible, and the Han Dynasty's subsequent 30,000 cavalry and 40,000 infantry had now arrived one after another. The Kushan Empire
It is not easy to defeat the Han Dynasty's 150,000 elite soldiers.
Returning to the military camp, Liu Xin saw people outside Fulousha City carrying poles one mile away from the military camp. There were so many soldiers here who needed a lot of vegetables, fresh meat and fruits. After the goods of the common people were purchased by the military camp,
It is common to see people selling local goods within a mile of the Han military camp. However, the Han Dynasty refuses anyone to come within one mile of the military camp. They can only wait outside for someone to come out of the military camp.
There were many more soldiers in the Han military camp than before. The horses of the Han cavalry outside Fulousha City were all fed here, and the surrounding ministries were taking turns to repair here. Liu Xin entered the main meeting room and saw that the teaching group was discussing with Zhou Yu and Li Yan
Others discuss military matters.
"See Your Majesty!" Everyone saw Liu Xin saluting him. Liu Xin told everyone that during wartime, everyone only needs to bow.
"Get up! What are you talking about?" Liu Xin came over and looked at Zhou Yu and asked.
"Your Majesty, now the three major counties have arrived, and all the troops and horses are in place. Among them, General Sun Ce and General Taishi Ci have basically controlled all the villages and towns outside the city. We are selling the Han Dynasty's books at cost price. We have sold them in the past half month.
One hundred thousand books, a large part of these books have been spread to the western and southern regions of the Kushan Empire, and the Kushan Empire has not yet taken care of these books.
General Guan Yu sent news about King Qin's army in the southern part of the Kushan Empire. The cities in the southern region of the Kushan Empire are already gathering troops, intending to fight a decisive battle with our Han Empire. The 400,000-strong army of the Kushan Empire in the northern part of the Six Kingdoms of Anxi has marched north, plus the cities
The army could probably number around one million people. Kanishega should have given them all time to assemble outside Fulousha City, so General Guan Yu did not dare to go deep into the southern part of the Kushan Empire, but just cooperated with the caravan to migrate the local people.
"Zhou Yu said to Liu Xin.
"What about the west?" Liu Xin asked.
"General Zhang Fei has been operating within two hundred miles in the west. He sent a letter three days ago. The key positions of the main road in the west have been explored clearly, and sniper positions are also under construction.
The terrain in the west is complex and vast. There are more than 40 large cities with a population of more than 50,000. The westernmost part is more than 5,000 miles away from Fulousha City. We have not yet learned about the soldiers of King Qin of the Kushan Empire in the west area, but we have communicated with various
Contact the big chamber of commerce and ask them to investigate the news in the western region." Zhou Yu replied.
"The opponent should prepare for a decisive battle after September, because the road traffic in the western part of the Kushan Empire is very inconvenient, and the heavy armor soldiers are very slow to travel. It will take more than three months just to travel.
Before the main force of the Kushan Empire from the west arrives, Kanishega must not dare to fight us decisively. We should take this opportunity to increase security patrols outside Fulousha City and allow the caravan to communicate more with the surrounding people," Liu Xin said.
"Now we have controlled all the villages and towns in the Fulousha City area. Taishi Ci, Sun Ce, Xu Huang, and Huang Xu all intend to expand the area controlled by our army and capture Peshawacheng and the cities in the southern region." Zhou Yu said.
"Fulousha City has become a turtle in the urn, and the people outside the city have begun to get used to our existence. When we came to the Kushan Empire, we did not rob any people. Now even if the nobles of the Kushan Empire trick the people into fighting us, not many people are willing.
On the contrary, the aristocratic regime is becoming increasingly unstable.
The duty of Sun Ce and the four of them was originally to stabilize the situation outside Fulousha City, and we have never stipulated the size of the area outside Fulousha City. As one of the major cities of the Kushan Empire, Peshawar City will definitely suffer heavy casualties if it is attacked by force.
You tell Sun Ce, Huang Xu and the others and let the four of them discuss a solution.
As for the villages and towns outside Fulousha City, it is okay to reduce the number of troops, but we must pay attention to the movements of the local nobles, take action to deal with the local nobles when necessary, communicate more with the local people, and secretly help ordinary people and even slaves, so that we can live a more stable life here.
." Liu Xin said to Zhou Yu.
"I understand that the Han Empire has ten peerless generals in the Kushan Empire. Now that our military strength has an absolute advantage, it is not impossible to capture Fulousha City.
Now that our Han army has all arrived, and the army's follow-up material supplies have fully caught up, the Han Chamber of Commerce has set its sights on the Kushan Empire. Our Han army has completed most of the purpose of this expedition, and the next step is the military reform of the Han Dynasty.
Verification of results." Zhou Yu said.
"Yes, the ideological seeds for the people of the Kushan Empire have been planted. The victory of this decisive battle no longer means much to us. The Kushan Empire can no longer prevent population exchanges with the Han Empire. It is time for us Han Empire to perform!"
Liu Xin said with a smile.
If this battle were to be won, it would be easy for the Han Empire. Even with ten times the enemy, the Han Empire could win with advanced guns and artillery. Now that the hearts of the people in the core area of the Kushan Empire have collapsed, the Han generals have more strength.
For a good performance stage, Liu Xin assigned tasks to the ten generals from the beginning, so that everyone should have room to perform in their own area.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Give a few instructions to the teaching group. The teaching group is composed of students and teachers from various military academies in the Han Dynasty. Their main purpose of coming is to study. Liu Xin asked Zhou Yu to bring all the students and teachers
They are assigned to the front lines according to the needs of each army. Now that the decisive battle has not yet come, their safety can still be guaranteed. Following the Han generals to fight against the Kushan Empire is a valuable experience in their lives for all students.
In the evening, Liu Xin summoned Zhao Yun, Sun Ce, Xu Huang and other ten great generals, told them the achievements of the Han Dynasty in more than a month, and asked them to cooperate with the Han caravans, not to disturb the local people, and to target the nobles.
The nobles of the Frost Empire mostly had the influence of the Kushan Empire to create the Han Empire.
Although Liu Xin did not specify how the next battle would be fought, they were very excited when they heard which of the generals present was not very intelligent. After more than a month outside Fulousha City, they could finally let go.
In the early morning of the next day, before dawn, Zhao Yun took the lead in attacking the northern military camp of Fulousha City. This military camp originally had an army of 20,000 people, but the damage in such a long time exceeded 6,000. Seeing that the Han Empire sent 10,000 elite cavalry to attack them
Zhao Yun rushed into the enemy camp alone and was unstoppable. Soon the two military camps in the south of the city sent troops to support the north of the city.
Ma Chao led 20,000 cavalry to attack the opponent to support the army. The Han cavalry was overwhelming and killed the opponent's 30,000 infantrymen who fled in all directions. Zhao Yun saw this and stopped attacking the northern camp. He led the cavalry and Ma Chao to double-team the opponent's reinforcements. In the end, the 30,000 reinforcements lost more than 10,000.
, less than 10,000 people fled back to the fifth military camp outside Fulousha City.
This battle also allowed all the people of Fulousha to see that the Han Empire was not unable to attack, nor was it merciful and unwilling to kill. The defense in Fulousha City began to become more and more cautious, and the originally leisurely soldiers in the city began to move.
In the evening of the afternoon, Ma Chao led another division of cavalry to attack a military camp in the south of the city. This time the opponent responded in time, and the Han cavalry retreated before entering the military camp. In this way, the opponent's loss was more than one thousand, mainly because the opponent
No one can stop Ma Chao, nor can they deal with the high-end combat power of the Han Dynasty. The enemy can only defend with rifle fire. If Ma Chao was not afraid of casualties, the cavalry division's victory would be even greater.
At the end of the day, the Han cavalry outside Fulousha City was very excited. They only suffered less than a hundred casualties and killed more than 6,000 enemy soldiers and captured 10,000 people. The harvest from these 10,000 enemy prisoners was not small, compared to the caravan.
It is much faster to persuade local people to go to Dahan every day. Dahan's infrastructure construction now requires a lot of labor.
In the next few days, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao often took the initiative to attack the military camp outside Fulousha City. At first, the other five military camps rescued each other. In the end, everyone could only defend. Zhao Yun and Ma Chao also took advantage and left.
I don't want to fight with the other party.
Huang Xu began to capture all the towns within three hundred miles north of Fulousha City. He sent all the prisoners to Gaofu City and only attacked the soldiers and nobles of the Kushan Empire.
The people were exactly the same at the beginning, but the soldiers of the Han Empire had already experienced this. As the Han Dynasty persuaded officials and the Chamber of Commerce to understand the Kushan language, the people here slowly began to change. Everything was as Liu Xin and Zhou Yu expected.
Inside.
The attack on Peshawar City in the east was not going well. Taishi Ci attacked Peshawar City many times and killed countless enemies, but he was unable to seize the city gate and let the Han soldiers behind him stand firm. After three consecutive days of attacking to no avail, Taishi Ci sought for
Huang Xu and Sun Ce supported. Three peerless military generals led an army of 40,000 to attack the city of Peshawar for two days. After sacrificing the lives of more than a thousand elite soldiers, they finally captured the city of Peshawar.
Peshawar City was the first major city that the Han Empire captured from the Kushan Empire. Liu Xin did not express any reaction when he heard that Peshawar City was captured. According to his idea, the Han Empire could actually reduce casualties to less than 200. You know
The soldiers sacrificed by the Han Dynasty were all elites with a force value of over 30 points.
Good news continued to come from the area 200 miles away from Fulousha City. Every day, the Seventh Army would send prisoners to the military camp, and caravans from the Han military camp to Gaofu City continued to deliver various supplies and then send the prisoners back. The Han merchants
The team makes huge profits from it every day.
Zhang Fei's main task was to snipe the southern reinforcements of the Kushan Empire. He had already ordered his soldiers to occupy the strategic strategic points of the official roads in the southern part of Fulousha City, and then personally led the army southward to engage in multiple battles with the defenders of the southern cities. Zhang Fei killed
The soldiers in the southern cities did not dare to leave the city. The other side obviously knew that the Han Empire was now besieging Fulousha City. If they could not offend them, they would have to close the city and not leave. There were already Han caravans heading to these villages and towns. Zhang Fei was able to capture prisoners in the south every day.
There are also many enemy soldiers.
However, Liu Xin was very dissatisfied with Guan Yu's style. Guan Yu liked to attack by force and took the initiative to attack towns in the south many times. Although he finally captured these towns, he lost more than a thousand troops, which was greater than the loss in the battle of Peshawar. Guan Yu did not want to fight with
The other generals cooperated. Although Liu Xin was dissatisfied with this, he did not criticize Guan Yu. Each of the generals had their own characteristics. The soldiers led by Guan Yu were all brave and fearless of death. They were the most capable team of the Han Dynasty in fighting tough battles.
This loss is nothing to the Han Empire. Some battle damage can improve the blood circulation of the Han Empire's army.
After returning to Fulousha City for half a month, Liu Xin saw more and more prisoners sent by the ten great generals. More and more Han caravans came to Fulousha City from Lanshi City, but the number of prisoners outside Fulousha City was increasing.
However, there are fewer and fewer caravans. The caravans are heading to farther places to earn greater profits. This expedition to the Kushan Empire has gradually become a grand gathering of various merchants in the Han Dynasty. Many merchants in the Han Dynasty will send dozens of merchants to Fulousha City.
A caravan with nearly 10,000 participants, they have developed their own way of making money from the people of the Kushan Empire.
Liu Xin saw the statistics given to him by Zhou Yu. The twelve major chambers of commerce in the Han Dynasty had begun to increase their investment in the Kushan Empire's caravans. The caravan members here had exceeded 150,000, more than the soldiers of the Han Dynasty. He knew that he was staying in
There was no point here anymore, so he left all matters to Zhou Yu and Liu returned to Gaofu City.
Gaofu City is now many times more lively than before. It is full of caravans coming and going. Many caravans have even started slave and livestock business here. This is not yet a Dahan area, and slave trading is legal outside the Dahan area.
As the most important bridge between Fulousha City and the Han Empire, there are countless kinds of goods here, and all major chambers of commerce in the Han Dynasty have established transit warehouses here.
When Liu Xin saw Huang Zhong, he saw that he was very busy. Among all the generals, Huang Zhong had the smallest war palace. There were no cities near Gaofu City, and all the villages and towns did not need Huang Zhong to take action. The Han Chamber of Commerce could
Having occupied these villages and towns early, Huang Zhong even sent out very few soldiers to patrol. Not to mention any minors nearby, even the common people who did evil were found by these caravans and sent to the Han Dynasty to be sent to labor camps. As long as there was a Han army in front
By the way, these caravans are better than the government in dealing with local people's problems. They can always find the value here and make use of it. Therefore, for the Han Empire, as long as the caravans are well controlled, the Han Dynasty will be there all the time.
Benefit.
