At the end of February, just when Prince Xiu arrived in Dayuan, Bi Kun and Maodun, who were hurriedly returning, fought a battle of hundreds of miles away from Lanshi City. The battle lasted for five days, and tens of thousands of casualties on both sides were killed and injured, and more than 30,000 servants were killed and injured. After a long battle, Bi Kun was so angry that he fell off his horse again.

The king vomited blood and fell into a coma. The morale of the Yuezhi army collapsed instantly. Under the protection of some loyal tribal leaders, he hurriedly retreated. After leaving behind the corpses all over the ground, he handed over the great Yuezhi country that had finally been established to Maodun.

Bi Kun retreated. Because of his own losses, Maodun did not follow and chase after him. Instead, he began to gather the remaining tribes and forces that controlled the Great Yuezhi Kingdom, and used the Lan family as the capital to build the Xiongnu Kingdom, claiming to be the Shanyu, and imitating the previous Xiongnu royal court to set up officials to enfeoff the kings, completely occupying the cannon and holding the entire Daxia Kingdom in his hands.

After Bi Kun, who fled from Daxia, woke up and collected the defeated generals in Anxi. He has now lost a large number of people, livestock and food. If he cannot get supplements, his morale will soon be disintegrated.

In addition, the surrounding Dayuan, Xiongnu, Anxu, and Daxia all hated him to the core. If we could not get rid of this situation as soon as possible, the Dayuezhi would soon be completely finished.

Although the situation is critical, Bi Kun escaped from the Hexi Corridor through the continuous pursuit of the Qin Dynasty after all, and the current situation is much better than when facing the Qin army.

After careful consideration, Bi Kun did not sit back and waited for death, nor did he plan to go back and fight Maodun again. Instead, he directly repaired the occupied Anxi border and arranged people to guard several snatched cities, and sent troops to snatch food and slaves everywhere to replenish his losses and strengthen his strength as soon as possible. He soon occupied most of the Margiana province, Margiana, and even prepared to attack Mulu City, the capital of the province.

Bi Kun's approach naturally did not interfere rashly.

First, he must hold Daxia in his hands as soon as possible, stabilize the situation in the country, and also expand his troops and strengthen his strength as soon as possible, so that he will have the opportunity to fight back to Daqin and take back his beloved woman, the Yan family and his son from Daqin.

Second, the Great Yuezhi is sandwiched between Anxi and Daxia, and can also serve as a buffer and barrier. Anxi and Dayuezhi are now in power, and several wars have broken out between the two sides. If the Great Yuezhi wants to survive, it has had to fight desperately against the backlog of Anxi people, which can also allow Maodun to stop and take a breath to accumulate more powerful power.

After all, the situation in Central Asia has undergone tremendous changes due to Maodun's rebellion.

Today, Central Asia is like a mess.

Although Jiang Hu has been staying in Dayuan and watching coldly, he also feels a little unable to hold back. After all, Daqin is a civilized army. The purpose of conquering cities and territory is to incorporate these places into the territory of Daqin for governance. If nomadic peoples such as the Huns and the Dayuezhi are allowed to continue to cause trouble, and by the conquest of Daqin, these places may become ruins and rubble. Not to mention the difficulty in governance, there is almost no benefit at all. All gold, silver, jewelry, food and livestock have been stolen.

Everything is ready now, just waiting for the arrival of the Great Qin King Army.

With the eager anticipation of Jiang Hu and Ying Bu, a group of soldiers who were looking forward to making meritorious service.

In early May, the six thousand soldiers and 20,000 war horses led by Li Zuo finally crossed the Palacio Mountains to Dayuan.

Facing this dusty Qin King Army, Jiang Hu and others were more surprised and sighed in addition to being excited.

After raiding for more than 10,000 miles in two months, all the soldiers looked black and thin, and most of the 20,000 horses were thin and their fur were dry and dry. The entire army was exhausted and almost unsupported.

But it's good that the safe and smooth passage along the way, and the 6,000 troops lost almost no soldiers or soldiers.

This time, the deployment of troops from thousands of miles was also the fastest in the history of the Qin Dynasty, creating the longest marching record of an average daily marching of 200 miles.

Li Zuo Jianghu was not familiar with him, and he was a young general who had not yet won the ceremony. However, his ancestors were the famous former Zhao army god Li Mu, and he was also the commander of the army who was recommended by the Hou of Qinghe and made a decision with the First Emperor. Jianghu had to look at him differently.

As for the two deputy generals, Li Xiong and Li Dai have long been famous in the Qin Dynasty. It is not that they have made outstanding achievements, but because of the Yanmen Pass incident, they became heroes admired by the people of the six countries in one fell swoop.

He captured Yanmen Pass and fought against Wang Li, thus becoming famous in one fell swoop.

But letting the two rebels act as generals of the Qin army was a problem that Jiang Hu, Ying Bu and others were extremely puzzled.

Unexplained, but this was the arrangement of the First Emperor, and there were also military letters and decrees from the officials of the Ministry of War. Jiang Hu and others could only respond with full of doubts and receive and place the Qin army that came to conquer peace.

Rest for half a month.

It's already late May.

In midsummer, Central Asia is already hot.

After half a month of renovation, the 6,000 army has undergone tremendous changes. They eat and drink every day and have enough energy to nourish their strength. All generals and soldiers have recovered from their vitality.

The 6,000 army of people ate horses and chewed them, which made Dayuan, a small country with a population of less than 300,000, unable to afford it.

So Jiang Hu summoned Li Zuo, Li Xiong and Li Dai, as well as Ying Bu and other major generals under his tent for several military discussions and deployments before formally dispatching troops.

After the Summer Solstice Festival, on May 28th, according to the saying that the Qinghe Hou will be released every eight, this is a zodiac auspicious day.

After a full meal, Li Zuo led 6,000 troops as the main force, Ying Bu led 2,000 Western troops to guard Dayuan as the auxiliary, and 8,000 troops set off for the flag and divided into three groups to conquer Kangju.

Kangju is a semi-cultivating and semi-pardoned nation that has always lived in the Sir River Basin to the southeast of the Aral Sea. Here, there are abundant water and grass, fertile land, and there are large forests along the river. It is a natural and excellent farming and animal husbandry site.

The living habits of Kangju people are similar to those of Yuezhi, Dayuan and many tribes in the Western Regions. These races are more civilized than those of the barbaric pure nomadic people like the Huns. In addition, the climate of the Sir River Basin is mild and rich in resources. They do not live by water, but also build cities and houses, and have close contacts with Central Asian countries. Therefore, commerce and handicrafts are still developed, and they are relatively friendly to get along with neighboring countries.

Kangju is also a multi-ethnic hybrid, part of which is equivalent to Dayuan, belongs to the Oriental Serb blood, and part of the Scythian blood.

When it comes to the Scythians, we have to talk about a famous war.

That was the Battle of the Sir during Alexander's expedition a hundred years ago.

After sweeping the Persian Empire, Alexander continued to march eastward. After crossing the Amu River, he wanted to continue to develop northeastward and conquer more races and more areas. So when he continued to reach the Sir River Basin, he encountered the tenacious resistance of the Scythians who had lived here for hundreds of years.

The Stekies were a powerful nomadic people. They not only had excellent riding skills, but also had powerful compound bows. Although the battle ended with the victory of the Macedonian Empire, the Scythians were severely damaged and had to retreat to the Aral Sea area. However, Alexander the Great finally realized that this lonely expedition was no longer sustainable, and he had to temporarily stop the practice of continuing to expand his territory and turn to Central Asia, occupy Dayuan, command the construction of the Sept and East City and other measures to stabilize the imperial regime. Unfortunately, Alexander soon became ill, and the powerful Macedonian Empire had to retreat.

The Scythians are actually a tragic nation.

About a thousand years ago, these people lived east of the Altai Mountains, but the Great Zhou in the east gradually rose to power. King Xuan of Zhou conquered the tribes of the Hang, Xirong and other tribes. Under the powerful oppression of the Great Zhou, these races called Human and Quanrong in the Central Plains could only continue to migrate northwest. Therefore, under this rippling oppression, the Scythians had to migrate to the Western Regions and further away Black Sea, Caucasus and other areas. Some of them crossed the Caucasus Mountains and entered Europe and West Asia, and then Europe and Central Asia became more and more chaotic.

(I accidentally got it off again. In fact, friends who like the history of human migration can go and check out the information in this regard, which is very interesting.)

Today, Kangju is a country that loves peace. It controls a large territory from the Aral Sea to Dayuan, and cultivates grain fields on the banks of the Sir River to plant crops such as millet, wheat, barley, and fruits. Moreover, the people of Kangju also like to do business and have a good relationship with Dayuan Daxia, so they have always lived a very happy and fulfilling life in this place.

But this kind of happiness and happiness were broken with the arrival of the Great Yuezhi westward last year.

After the battle with the Great Yuezhi, Kangju suffered heavy losses, and there were previous visits by the envoys of the Great Qin Dynasty. The news of the powerful Qin State in the east made the King of Kangju restless. Now the news that the Great Qin delegation abducted the King of Anxi had been circulating in the West. Antioch also angrily led a large army to attack Dayuan, where the Qin people were stationed and the Great Yuezhi, who captured Daxia.

Although Antioch returned in failure, war between the two empires of the East and the West was almost inevitable.

The Qin army stationed in Dayuan has been constantly collecting the surrounding situation, and at the same time arranged for envoys to visit the leaders of nearby tribes, hoping that these tribes and forces could surrender to the Qin Dynasty.

As a regional power, Kangju naturally received priority from the Qin army and sent several envoys from Dayuan to visit Kangju King, but Kangju King used various excuses to shirk it.

In order not to let Kangju get involved in the vortex of the Eastern and Western wars, Kangju King has been constantly shrinking his sphere of influence and restricting his subordinates from approaching Dayuan and Anxi.

But no matter how careful he is, what should come will come eventually.

For the first time in human history, in the fusion of Eastern and Western civilizations, no race mixed with them can escape.

What's more, the goal of the First Emperor of the Eastern Qin Empire was not only to conquer peace, but also to conquer the entire world.

In order to conquer the West, the Qin Dynasty first had to stabilize its base. Whether Kangju loves peace or not, it had to surrender to avoid being in trouble when facing resting.

Sitting beside the bed, I let others sleep soundly.

As a military commander who grew up in countless wars, Jiang Hu would not make such a mistake, and as a descendant of the three military gods of Li Zuo, Li Xiong and Li Dai who are proficient in military books and proficient in military arts, naturally he would not make such mistakes.

What's more, pinching soft persimmons is also a traditional way to fight.

Therefore, during the rest period, after figuring out the situation near Dayuan, everyone's unified concept is to first kill Kangju, and then go to rest in peace.
