Liu Song Hanque

With the order of the court, Liu Yuanjing and Zongxi had no choice but to continue westward.

The four prefectures in Hexi, Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan, and Dunhuang, wherever they went, there were quite a lot of Han Chinese who ate pots of oatmeal to meet the king's teacher. By the way, the monarchs and ministers of Beiliang could only flee all the way.

Until the last Dunhuang.

Although the Hexi Corridor is long, they have no way out!
So, they chose...surrender!
Juqu Mujian offered the king's seal of Beiliang from the topless city of Dunhuang with a face ashen, and asked unwillingly: "Please tell me, general, what did the Song army use when I was in Guzang that day? Could it be true? Is there a god to help?"

"Ah."

Liu Yuanjing's eyes were full of pity: "How can there be any god in this world?"

"It's just a weapon made by manpower. It's the same as bows and arrows and blades. It has nothing magical about it."

After Juqu Mujian got the answer, his eyes suddenly brightened: "Can I have a look?"

"Yes, you can learn whatever you want."

Liu Yuanjing pointed to the carriage next to him: "But please wait until the lord arrives in Chang'an."

Juqu Mujian looked at the few carriages with some doubts: "What? Isn't the general going back?"

"Not going back."

Liu Yuanjing excitedly licked his chapped lips: "In the west, there is the Western Region, and to the west of the Western Region, there is the Anxi Kingdom, the hometown of my brother Anjie. The scenery is wonderful!"

Juqu Mujian was taken aback for a moment, then lowered his head in shame, and saluted Liu Yuanjing and the others: "The spirit of the Great Song Dynasty is really powerful."

"We still have some information about the Western Regions in our country. If the general needs it, I will give it to the general."

"Thank you."

"No, I wish the general the victory in opening the flag, and then open the Western Regions, and become the achievements of the strong men of the past."

Juqu Mujian's longing for Chang'an is almost overflowing at this moment, and he just wants to go there as soon as possible.

As for Liu Yuanjing and Zongxi, they stayed in Dunhuang and continued to study their journey to the Western Regions.

In fact, the exchanges between the Western Regions and the Central Plains are very ordinary.

Because it was the pre-Qin period, Fu Jian sent his general Lu Guang, who was later the Taizu of Houliang, to crusade against the Western Regions.

When Lu Guang entered the Western Regions with more than [-] infantry and cavalry under his command, the most powerful force in the Western Regions was Qiuci.

Qiuci was domineering in the Western Regions at that time, which aroused the dissatisfaction of other countries.Among them, the leaders of Cheshiqian Kingdom and Shanshan Kingdom came to Chang'an in person, asking the former Qin to crusade against the Western Regions, and willing to lead the current Qin's leading party to lead Lu Guang's army into the Yanqi Kingdom and confront the Qiuci Kingdom.

And the Kucha Kingdom is indeed tyrannical, and formed an army of 70 under the joint vertical and horizontal alliances to fight Lu Guang to the death.

In the end, of course, Qiuci died and Lu Guangsheng, allowing the former Qin to control the Western Regions.

Later, with the withdrawal of Lu Guang's army, the Western Regions returned to their former peace.

According to the information obtained by the Song Army, the most tyrannical force in the Western Regions is not Kucha or Yanqi, but a Han force——

Yiwu Xiliang.

That is, the Gaochang Kingdom of later generations.

This is the regime established by Li Bao, a descendant of the Xiliang royal family.Because Xiliang was destroyed by Beiliang, Yiwu Xiliang has had a blood feud with Beiliang since its establishment. Over the years of training troops and developing agriculture, Yiwu Xiliang has long been the tyrant of the Western Regions and beat the surrounding area all countries.

"Maybe we can try Li Bao."

Zongxi's proposal made Liu Yuanjing nod frequently.

So they sent envoys to take the letter and went to Yiwu Xiliang alone to meet the king Li Bao.

When Li Bao learned that Beiliang was destroyed and the Central Plains was unified again, he burst into tears.

"I never imagined that my Li family could be so favored by God!"

Li Bao's family is actually the descendant of the parachutist Li Guang, belonging to the Longxi Li family.

After hearing that the Central Plains Dynasty sent a large army to the Western Regions, Li Bao directly invited the Song Army to enter the Western Regions without any hesitation, expressing his willingness to obey all the arrangements of the imperial court.

Liu Yuanjing and Zongxi continued to march westward, and when they arrived in Gaochang, they found Li Baozheng looking at them soldiers who came all the way from Chang'an with tears in his eyes.

"I, Mrs. Li, have been waiting for a hundred years for this scene!"

The important place in Hexi has never lost its loyalty because of its remoteness.

Zhanggui from former Liang, to Li Hao from Xiliang, and then to Yiwu Xiliang.

They are like a banner that cannot be erased by the wind and sand, planted in this land, quietly looking at Chang'an.

Today, this flag seems to be finally the person he has been waiting for.

Li Bao asked Liu Yuanjing and Zongxi to the west about many things that happened in the Central Plains.

Since the dissolution of the former Qin Dynasty, Li Bao had rarely heard news from the Central Plains, and could only find out a thing or two through the caravans.

When he learned that both Liu Yuanjing and Zongxi had stayed with the emperor, Li Bao was overjoyed and wanted to ask the bottom line about everything.

When he heard that Huan Xuan dared to usurp the throne, Li Bao couldn't help but curse.

When he heard that Liu Yu raised his troops to defeat Huan Xuan, Li Bao clapped his hands and laughed again.

When he heard that Liu Yu had repeatedly conquered the Central Plains and recovered the two capitals, Li Bao jumped up against the case again, sighing that he is really a hero!
After hearing that Liu Yu had replaced Jin, Li Bao's expression was a little dull again.

Until Liu Yuanjing told him that Liu Yizhen had defeated Helian Bobo when he was young, and finally inherited the great unification and recovered Hebei, completed the unification, and even sealed the wolf as a servant not long ago, Li Bao's face turned red with excitement.

"The destiny really lies with the Liu family!"

Sure enough, the Sima family is still somewhat unpopular after all...

Liu Yuanjing, Zongxi and other generals of the Song army and Li Bao drank for three days in a row before Liu Yuanjing expressed his appeal: "To tell the truth, I am here to restore the peace of the Western Regions for Your Majesty."

"May I ask Li Guozhu, what is the situation in the Western Regions? It depends on whether it can be passed on or not?"

Li Bao nodded after thinking for a moment: "It's actually not difficult."

The Western Regions are already poor and weak, so the so-called prosperity seems to be short-lived.

The already weak foundation was plowed by Lu Guang decades ago, and almost none of them could be beaten.

"As long as the general publicizes that the Central Plains has been unified in the Western Regions, and the Liu family, which is in the same line as the Han Dynasty, returns to the throne, most of them are actually unwilling to fight against the Song Dynasty."

"However, the countries with stronger Chinese power still need to be beaten."

In Li Bao's description, after Qiuci was crippled by Lu Guang, Yanqi Kingdom was the most tyrannical among the countries in the Western Regions, making dozens of surrounding city-states obey its orders, and it seemed to be the "leader" of the countries in the Western Regions. ".

In addition, the leading parties of the former Qin army at that time-Cheshiqian Kingdom and Shanshan Kingdom also reaped a lot of benefits in the process of Lu Guang's pacification of the Western Regions. In recent decades, China's power has skyrocketed and it has become a force that cannot be ignored.

"In addition, there is a tribe in the north. The people there used to make a living by smelting iron for generations, but recently they have gradually become dishonest, and there are faint signs of development!"

"What's the name of that tribe?"

"Pockets."

"In Chinese, it should be called Turkic!"
