In April, Yang Gongshen and An Xinggui escorted Li Gui, the Queen of Liang, Prime Minister Cao Zhen, Li Yun and other ministers to Luoyang.

Pei Ju presented Qin Hu with the news of the victory in pacifying the four counties of Yiling.

Yehu Khan of the Western Tuque Kingdom sent envoys to Luoyang together with King Ju Wentai of Gaochang Kingdom. They presented generous gifts to congratulate King Yan on the expansion of territory and presented a letter to request King Yan to proclaim himself emperor.

Liang Shidu united with the Eastern Tuque to attack Yanzhou, and Qin Hu ordered Duan Decao, the governor of Yanzhou, to stand firm and wait for reinforcements.

After Xu Shao surrendered, Xiao Mian's sense of crisis increased and he sent his general Yang Daosheng to attack Yiling County, but was defeated by Xu Shao's son Xu Zhiren's general Li Hongjie.

Xiao Xian sent another fleet along the Yangtze River waterway to prepare to cross the Three Gorges in an attempt to seize Bashu. On the way, he was intercepted by Xu Shao's fleet and was defeated. Xu Shao captured the enemy general Chen Puhuan.

Xiao Mian was defeated again and again, and his morale plummeted.

Xia King Dou Jiande divided his troops into two groups in Hebei. Cai Jianfang captured Hengshui, and Gao Yaxian conquered Cangzhou. The two groups attacked Liyangcang. Qin Hu ordered Xu Shiji to fight carefully.

The leader of the rebel army, Zang Junxiang, invaded Hailing. Qin Hu ordered Qi Gongshun, the governor of Beihai County, and Liu Lancheng, the county magistrate, to join forces with Chu King Du Fuwei to attack Zang Junxiang.

Qi Gongshun and Liu Lancheng were both old men from Wagang Village and Li Mi's generals.

Liu Wuzhou once again defeated the Tang army in Queshu Valley. Li Yuanji fled without a fight. Song Jingang and others advanced hundreds of miles and arrived at Taiyuan County. Li Yuan ordered Li Shihao and Li Yuanba to lead the Xuanjia Jingqi to resist the Mayi army.

Li Yuan believed that the responsibility for this defeat did not lie with Li Yuanji, but rather with his two lieutenants, Pei Ji and Liu Wenjing.

Liu Wenjing first wrote a letter to impeach Pei Ji, and Pei Ji then wrote a letter to impeach Liu Wenjing. The matter has not been finalized yet. However, the crisis of the Li clan is obvious.

Qin Hu ordered Li Gui, the Demon Queen, the treacherous minister Cao Zhen, Li Yun and others to be handed over to the Three Laws Division for conviction. The final charge was harming the country and the people, and the crime was unpardonable. He immediately ordered them to be sent to the West City for questioning.

Qin Hu decreed that An Xinggui be canonized as the third division of Yitong, the founding government of the Shangzhu State, Jin Ziguanglu, the official, and Liang Guogong. An Xiuren was canonized as the prefect of Dunhuang and Shen Guogong.

Qin Hu invited Gaochang King Ju Wentai and Western Tuque envoy Shi Yuanzhen to watch the execution.

Qin Hu's move had two purposes. One was to frighten Ju Wentai and make this small country outside Yumen Pass connected to the Western Regions be more honest and not to attack Qin Muchu, let alone join forces with Tuyuhun to cause trouble.

But the most important purpose is to show his strength to the Western Tuque, because the Western Tuque is really important to him now. Without their restraint, he would not be able to deal with the Eastern Tuque with his current strength.

But as for the sudden conflict in the west, we cannot blindly win over them, otherwise they will plot against the four counties in Hexi. They must be made aware of the strength of the Yan State.

Qin Hu currently controls the 30,000 Xiaoguo Army, and selected the most elite 10,000, all of whom were replaced with brand-new Mingguang armor, armed with five-and-a-half-meter long spears, each with three tall war horses, forming a powerful military formation, and escorted and imprisoned Li

The prison cars on the rails, with flags waving and banners fluttering, filled Luoyang Avenue and slowly advanced.

And he himself was also wearing armor, high-spirited and majestic. He was in the middle army with Ju Wentai and Shi Yuanzhen, and he was also slowly advancing towards the West City.

From the palace all the way to the Western Market, another 20,000 Xiaoguo troops were guarding the road with banners in hand. They were in great military appearance, raising their arms and shouting, with a huge momentum that was unparalleled for a time.

"Um, what, are all people like this in your country?"

Ju Wentai came from a small and remote country. The number of troops capable of fighting could not exceed 3,000 at most. The armor and weapons were in disrepair and the military formation was in a mess. Compared with the Xiaoguo Army, it could not even be considered a guerrilla.

By extorting, robbing merchants and reselling people, it would be good if the treasury could have a million taels of silver, but the maximum number of war horses would not exceed 500.

Where have I seen such a formation?

He must have seen it before, because he had seen Yang Shou before, and Yang Shou's battle back then was naturally much larger than Qin Hu's.

However, what Yang Shou showed more to the outside world was his wealth. As for showing off his force, his troops were ten times that of Qin Hu.

Xiaoguo's army is also very powerful, and its equipment is definitely not bad, but it can't compare with Qin Hu's army. Even a layman can see it at a glance.

This Xiaoguo Army is not that Xiaoguo Army, but an upgraded version of the Xiaoguo Army. With its energy and spirit alone, it can infinitely crush the old army of the Yu Dynasty.

"Basically."

Qin Hu didn't like Ju Wentai and his son, because they went towards Qin, Mu and Chu, sometimes united with Tu Que, sometimes returned to the Central Plains, and often disrupted the order of the Silk Road.

However, the Central Plains cannot omit Gaochang, an important post station.

Ju Wentai was really a little scared. Even though he was nominally here to pay tribute to the emerging Yan Kingdom, in fact, his main purpose was to find out what was true.

Including Shi Yuanzhen, the envoy of the Western Tuque, actually had this purpose.

No one wants to have a powerful neighbor, and no neighboring country wants to see a strong and unified Central Plains dynasty. That would be too painful for them.

"I still have tens of thousands of Xiaoguo in Hebei, and they are even more elite than the current group. When I conquer Hebei, I will definitely invite you two to come and watch."

Ju Wentai was sweating secretly. Based on his observation, if Qin Hu led such an elite army to attack him, it is estimated that the country would be crushed into powder within an hour.

"His Royal Highness King Yan is really the destined emperor, I admire him very much." Ju Wentai quickly gave a thumbs up to Qin Hu: "I really hope to see His Highness become a great treasure and rejuvenate the Central Plains earlier."

Ju Wentai originally wanted to give Qin Hu a big slap in the face, but he didn't dare because the people from the Western Tuque were also there, and it was hard for him to be a good person in the middle.

But Shi Yuanzhen's face is a little pale now, he lowers his head and is unwilling to speak, as if he is being beaten by frost on a big eggplant, which is very different from the domineering behavior when he first came here.

In fact, the western Tuque is also very powerful. After the expansion of territory by the previous two great khans, everything from Jinshan in the east to the Aral Sea in the west has been included in the territory.

Some time ago, the talented and strategic Yehu Khan personally led his army to defeat the Tiele Khanate on Lake Baikal, forcing the Tiele people to surrender to the eastern border.

Yehu Khan immediately went west, annexed the powerful Wusun Kingdom, moved the royal court two thousand miles westward from the Sanmi Mountain of Qiuci Kingdom, and established it in the territory of Shi Kingdom.

Therefore, before he came to Luoyang, he thought that the Central Plains was in ruins and the western region was at its peak, so he did not pay attention to Qin Hu at all.

The reason why he came was to unite with this broken "small tribe" in his mind to deal with the Eastern Tuque and complete the great cause of unifying the Tuque.

But he didn't expect that after arriving, it would be completely different.

The Central Plains is indeed dilapidated. It is no match for the powerful Yu Dynasty in the past. The city walls are in ruins, refugees are everywhere, their clothes are in rags, and the economy is in ruins. All this is true.
