Time flies a month, and Her Majesty the Queen of Kucha and the Regent got married.

On the day of the wedding, the entire Kucha City was decorated with lights and colorful colors. Almost all the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions came to Kucha to celebrate. Some sent envoys and some were directly from the king, which shows their importance to Jiang Hao.

The wedding team drove out of the palace, with a band of hundreds of people in front and a guard of honor followed by the guard of honor. Jiang Hao and Queen Dina caught up in the car in the middle. Both of them smiled and waved frequently to the people on both sides of the road.

The people of Kucha gave their blessings, wishing the king good health and longevity, and the country peace and stability.

After earning an entire hour, the convoy returned to the palace. A grand banquet was held in the palace. Jiang Hao and Princess Dina sat in the main seat together to invite the kings and envoys of the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions.

King Yanqi stood up, held his wine glass and smiled, "The Protector defeated the Huns, and was the warrior of the desert. Queen Dina was the golden flower of my desert. The golden flower with the warrior is definitely a perfect match for heaven and earth."

"Yes, yes, yes, heaven and earth." King Yuli smiled and agreed.

......

Listening to the words of blessing, the lively wedding ended. In this month, Jiang Hao basically sorted out the matters of Kucha and Shache. It is still winter now, and Jiang Hao suddenly got idle.

Since I crossed the time to this time, I have been busy all the time. Now I finally have time to take a break. I am sweet with my bride every day and have endless fun in my life.

But whenever he thought of his own tasks, Jiang Hao looked at the Central Plains again. At this time, the Western Regions and the Central Plains were almost disconnected. However, Jiang Hao could also see from history books that the Central Plains should be in chaos at this time.

In February, the Western Regions were still extremely cold, but Jiang Hao's heart was already moving. His messenger ran to several countries, sent his own handwritten letters, and summoned the coalition forces.

In the palace, Jiang Hao was taking stock of his own assets.

In the battle with the Huns, he obtained 13,000 Shache soldiers, 16,000 Kucha soldiers, and 5,000 Hun soldiers surrendered. With his original family background, a total of 35,000 combat soldiers were found. However, Jiang Hao could not take them all away, so he decided to leave 5,000 Kucha soldiers for Dina.

More than 100,000 livestock and countless food and grass were stolen from the Huns, which was enough for a large army to use for half a year.

On this day, Jiang Hao and Her Queen arrived at the school ground, looked at the cavalry team whizzing past below, and said, "Dina, I'm going to go to the Central Plains."

Her Majesty the Queen looked at Jiang Hao, "I knew that you would definitely not be satisfied with the Western Regions. Your sight was always in the sky, just like your two golden eagles."

After receiving Jiang Hao's handwritten letter, countries in the Western Regions borrowed troops one after another. Half a month later, they gathered up another 10,000 troops. Instead of coming to Kucha, they rushed directly to Loulan.

A total of 40,000 troops were stationed directly outside Loulan City. King Loulan and Jiang Hao stood at the top of the city, looking at the continuous camp tents, "I heard that the chaos in the Central Plains is now, do the Protectorate want to participate in it?"

Jiang Hao looked at the army below and said lightly: "Oh~ I'm forced to do it too."

Jiang Hao originally planned to get a king in the Western Regions for nothing, but he didn't expect the system to admit it. He really didn't want to participate in the Central Plains War. This sentence was forced to do so from the bottom of his heart.

After the food and grass were prepared, the army set out again. Two days later, it finally arrived outside Yumen Pass.

"The bright moon emerges from the Tianshan Mountains, among the vast sea of ​​clouds. The wind blows thousands of miles across Yumen Pass."

Jiang Hao looked at the tall city wall in front of him and ordered Pang Xiong: "I asked someone to send a letter to the Yumen Pass, and said that the soldiers of the Western Regions Protectorate's Office passed by and asked them to open the city gate. I don't want to cause all my brothers to be killed or injured."

They are all Han people, and Jiang Hao really doesn't want to meet each other.

The guard of Yumen Pass looked at the army that could not be seen in the distance, and felt cold in his heart. There must be tens of thousands of troops. How could he stop it if he only had more than 3,000 people?

Suddenly, a fast horse ran from the opponent's team, quickly passed under the city, took a bow and shot an arrow, and a carved feathered arrow was accurately nailed to the tower pillar of the city gate, and then ran back.

"General, there is a letter on the arrow." said a soldier.

"Take it to me."

When he got the letter and opened it, the guards took a breath. Jiang Hao, the great defender of the Western Regions, the regent of Kucha, has not only spread in the Western Regions, but their northwest defenders have naturally heard of his name.

He used tens of thousands of troops to destroy the right wise king of the Huns in one battle, and established the queens of the two countries. He became the regent of Kucha in less than a year and became a legendary figure admired by everyone in the Western Regions.

Should I let it go?

The duty of Yumen Pass is to defend against invasions of the Western Regions. This is his duty. The defender looked at the army in the distance and ordered: "Sorry everyone to climb to the top of the city and strictly prevent the enemy from attacking the city. The people of the Western Regions must not allow the Western Regions to invade the Central Plains."

"promise!"

The Han generals all agreed.

When Jiang Hao saw the other party's arrangement, he knew that the guard of Yumen Pass had already made up his mind. He was helpless and immediately ordered the attack.

Tens of thousands of troops rushed towards Yumen Pass, and countless ladders were placed on the top of the city. The Hun soldiers climbed up desperately, collided with cars and pushed them under the city, and rushed to the gate with rain of arrows and huge rocks.

This was a fierce battle that lasted for a full half hour.

The moment the city gate was broken, the entire war was coming to an end, and countless cavalry rushed into the city and controlled everything.

Jiang Hao had long formulated strict military orders that he would not be killed indiscriminately, robbery, or rape, so there was no human tragedy in the city.

When Yumen Pass was broken, Jiang Hao did not stop too much. He simply dealt with the situation here, leaving a thousand people responsible for guarding the fortress, and led the army and the captured Han army to fight towards Dunhuang.

The Dunhuang prefect was still unaware of it at this time. Jiang Hao brought tens of thousands of troops to Dunhuang City only a few dozen miles away from Dunhuang City, and he realized that the Western Regions army had already broken through Yumen Pass and was about to arrive in Dunhuang.

Dunhuang Prefect Zhang Songfeng looked anxious and didn't know what to do. At this time, the domestic situation was in a state of deterioration. He naturally knew that even if it was nothing, he wouldn't have time to ask for help. After thinking for a few minutes, the Dunhuang Prefect made a decision and ran away!

Yes, this guy brought gold, silver and soft soft, a son who came to Dunhuang and two beautiful Western concubines. Under the protection of dozens of personal guards, he drove out of the city as quickly as possible and ran towards Jiayuguan.

Jiang Hao's army besieged the city, and before he was ready to attack the city, the defenders in the city led more than 2,000 subordinates out of the city to surrender.

The prefect ran away, and these people were heartbroken. Besides, Jiang Hao was also a Han Chinese, so it was impossible for him to kill them for no reason, so the guard general and the captain chose to surrender.

In this way, Jiang Hao easily won Dunhuang, the largest city in the Western Regions of the Han Dynasty.

Dunhuang can be said to be the most important city in the Hexi Corridor of the Han Dynasty. It has managed the economy, culture, politics and population of the Western Regions. The Han Dynasty and Western Regions culture are integrated and sublimated here, and the Silk Road passes here, and it is also a political important place in charge of the Western Regions Protectorate.

Jiang Hao stayed here for three days, gathered the army, and left a thousand Kucha soldiers to maintain public order, and appointed a subordinate to be responsible for the normal operation of the place. Jiang Hao's idea was very simple, it didn't matter to fight forward, and the way back must be prepared.

In this way, Jiang Hao was in a state of great power, breaking through Jiayuguan, occupying Jiuquan, Zhangye, Wuwei City, and Jincheng.

Jincheng is Lanzhou in later generations.

It can be said that Jiang Hao has occupied Ganzhou, Liangzhou and Lanzhou. If Dong Zhuo is alive, he will definitely shout. This is my Xiliang Army territory.

Jiang Hao was able to fight to Lanzhou so smoothly, which was inseparable from the domestic form of the Han Dynasty. At this time, the rebels from all over the country had risen up, with uprisings everywhere and rebellion everywhere. Wang Mang was powerless to suppress, and the Xin Dynasty had already shown a feeling of exhaustion.

In Lanzhou, Jiang Hao stopped.

After taking stock of his family again, Jiang Hao brought 40,000 troops, 80,000 horses, and more than 100,000 livestock when he came, which was enough for 40,000 troops to eat half a year of food and was sufficient preparation.

Although there were no big losses in the previous battles, they gathered some of the Han army's surrendered troops, and the number of people increased instead of decreasing. Now it has reached 46,000.

Jiang Hao had a piece of intelligence in front of him, which was found by the scouts he released before, and recorded the current situation of all forces in the Han Dynasty.

The Southern Red Eyebrow Army, Hebei Green Forest Army, Wei Xiang from Ganzhou and Shaanxi, Liu Xuan from Luoyang, Gongsun Shu from Sichuan and Sichuan, Li Xian from Nanhuai, Yan Cen from Hanzhong, Liu Yong, Zhang Bu, Peng Chong, Wang Lang, Lu Fang, Dong Xian, Tian Rong...

These people all ruled one side and ruled themselves. For example, Liu Xuan had already established himself as emperor at this moment, and established his capital in Luoyang, and confronted Chang'an.

Jiang Hao came here with tens of thousands of troops, which could be said to have been disrupted by this chaos at once. In comparison, Jiang Hao’s men were not the most, and he was only in a mid-range lineup at most. However, his soldiers were all cavalry and real soldiers. Unlike other rebel troops, most of them were farmers who had just put down their hoes.

After reading this information, Jiang Hao looked up at the dim candlelight and fell into deep thought.

There are two directions in front of him. One is to establish himself as a king, like Liu Xuan. The other is to find Wang Mang to try it. Jiang Hao took the lead and abandoned the idea of ​​establishing himself as a king. Even the kings of the Western Regions can't do it. It is estimated that when he reaches the land of the Han Dynasty, he will be self-directed and acted.

Then go to Chang'an and talk to Wang Mang first.

What Jiang Hao had to face next was not Wang Mang, but Wei Xiang, who occupied Gansu and Shaanxi.

Wei Xiang was born into a large family of Longyou. When he was young, he was an official in prefectures and counties. Seeing the wars everywhere in the country, he became interested. He first attracted a group of people, then captured Yongzhou, killed Chen Qing, the governor of Yongzhou, and established himself as a general. Now he has 100,000 troops under his command.

Jiang Hao had to go to Chang'an and had to destroy this guy first. Just as Jiang Hao was setting up troops to prepare for action, he suddenly received a message. When he saw this message, he showed a very wonderful expression on his face.

"Wang Mang appointed Wang Xun, Wang Yi as the commander, and led a million troops to attack Kunyang. The Green Forest Army was frightened and the general Liu Xiu was out of the list to preside over the overall situation and fight against 400,000 with 8,000."

"That night, a meteor fell into Wang Mang's camp, and most of the imperial army was killed and injured. Taking advantage of the panic of the imperial army, the Green Forest Army rushed out and beheaded countless people."

"Suddenly, the wind blew and heavy rain poured down. The court army was unsteadily standing. The commander Liu Xiu led his army straight in and killed Wang Xun, the deputy commander of the enemy, on the spot. The court army was disbanded, and tens of thousands of people jumped into the river and drowned."

Jiang Hao put the letter sign on the table and exhaled gently.

The great magician has shown his power, meteorites fall from the sky, storms, you are really showing off!

This battle can be said to be the moment when Liu Xiu truly rose, and since then he embarked on the road of cheating and no return.
Chapter completed!
