139 Ask for rations

...

All parties in the Waci City Wall began to collapse constantly, and the Mengluo defenders on the top of the city were all swept into the water. For a moment, drowning floaters were everywhere on the water surface of the Zeguo.

It was not until noon on January 28 that the heavy rain that had lasted for more than twenty days finally stopped. Bai Qi ordered people to dig up the earth wall. After two days and nights, the battle finally came to an end.

“Bring it up!”

Xia Yu shouted loudly, and Zhao Shen and some of the Monroe people who were lucky enough not to be drowned were taken to Bai Qi's military camp, waiting for Bai Qi's hair to fall.

"snort!"

Zhao Shen snorted coldly, although his hands were tied up by his back, he still refused to give in. After seeing Bai Qi, he just glared and struggled to break free from the soldiers who pressed his shoulders on both sides.

Suddenly, Zhao Shen shouted and cursed: "Bai Qi! You butcher is full of conscience! One day in the future, you will definitely die a good death!"

Bai Qi held a cup of sesame oil in his hand and looked at Zhao Shen with a disheveled hair coldly, but did not say a word.

“Bold!”

Xia Yu, who was beside him, punched Zhao Shen hard on the lower abdomen. He immediately bent up in pain, but his eyes were still full of deep hatred, as if he wanted to swallow Bai Qi and others alive.

Zhao Shen stood up stubbornly, stood proudly, stared at Bai Qi and continued to curse: "I never thought that such a talented man would actually serve those cowardly emperors in the Central Plains. He is really a dog slave!"

"You still dare to speak stubbornly!" Xia Yu punched Zhao Shen's lower abdomen again, and then said, "Do you think you can hope that we can let you go by pretending to be righteous? Look, you are also from the Central Plains, but you never thought of hating your compatriots so much... No, you are worthy of being a compatriot? I..."

Halfway through, Xia Yu punched his lower abdomen again. Zhao Shen bent his legs and knelt on the ground with a straight pain.

At this time, Bai Qi took the sesame oil in his hand and came to Zhao Shen with a pale face. His fierce eyes were staring at him.

"call……"

The next moment, Bai Qi sprinkled all the sesame oil on him, then quickly turned around and came to the bonfire and picked up a burning firewood and threw it directly on Zhao Shen.

The moment Mars touched the oil, a raging fire ignited, quickly surrounding Zhao Shen.

"Ah...ah...ah..."

Zhao Shen let out a heart-wrenching cry, and his whole body rolled on the ground, obviously in extreme pain. Even the captives next to him were shocked by this scene. He never thought that Bai Qi was young and even more cruel than the rumors.

Seeing Zhao Shen's shouting gradually subsided, Bai Qi immediately pulled out the Han sword from his waist and slashed hard at his neck.

A burning head fell in front of the big tent, and the headless charred corpse collapsed after shaking for a while.

When Bai Qi took out his sword and returned to the sheath, he didn't even look at Zhao Shen's body, and even the Mengluo prisoners, and said in a deep voice: "Drag it out, no one will be left!"

In an understatement, he directly issued a notice of death to these Monroe prisoners.

Soon, these Monroe people were cut off by the sword and axe, allowing Duan Feng and Wang Tuyu to see the reputation of the man Tuwei again. Even Lu Yu secretly lamented that Bai Qi was far inferior to that of his decisiveness and ruthlessness.

After dealing with these prisoners, Bai Qi began to discuss the next move.

The original plan was that after the city of Waci was broken, he immediately rushed to pick up Ying Xu Wenjing and defeated the Bohe people's invasion together.

But now, the plan seems to have changed.

First of all, the 200,000 Han people who were supported by Wang Tuyu's troops needed to be resettled. This resettlement required a lot of food, but the food and grass in the army now cannot support these hundreds of thousands of people to eat and drink for a long time, but if they abandoned it now, they would be heartbroken.

Although Bai Qi is easy to kill, he is not so crazy that he is attacking his compatriots in order to save food. Of course, the captives are not counted, otherwise Bai Qi will not have any psychological burden when he kills.

Therefore, before going to rescue Xu Wenjing, the food problem of these 200,000 people before the spring sowing came, and they had to find a way to solve it themselves. It was obviously too late to send people to Liangzhou or Chang'an. I don't know how many people would starve to death this time.

But the question is where to find so much food?

This question is not a problem for Bai Qi at all. There are so many city-states in the Western Regions, just ask them to "borrow" them.

As for this, Bai Qi targeted several major countries in the Western Regions. Dayuan, Cheshi, Yuezhi, Parthia and Kushan began to attract Bai Qi's attention.

"The Governor wants to ask these Western Regions countries to borrow food? I'm afraid they won't agree..." Duan Feng shook his head and said.

Bai Qi sneered: "Don't? This governor doesn't believe that they dare to say a word. Dayuan used radish as bird's nest to fool us. It was simply seeking death. If you dare to deceive the Han army, you will not be able to die.

Since this Dayuan Kingdom dares to despise my governor, don't blame me for being ruthless. I rest for a day and leave half of my troops. The rest will go directly to Dayuan for the fourth update tomorrow. The governor will go to ask them for an explanation in person.

Let me tell them by the way! The current Western Regions belong to the territory of the Han Dynasty, and they must unconditionally obey the dispatch of the Han Dynasty. Violators will be killed without any reservations!"

Seeing that Bai Qi had made up his mind, the generals stopped persuading each other and began to prepare for a new journey.

Compared with the Monroe, these Western Regions are really like mobs, and it is no wonder that Bai Qi is so confident that he can solve the shortage of food problem.

What's more, Liu Ce instructed that the Western Regions Protectorate was established, and the main force in the inner region must be dominated by the Han army, and most of the surrounding foreign countries can only serve as mercenaries and servants. Among them, the Han tribes living in the Pamirs are the primary targets for solicitation. Without the support of these Han people, it will be very difficult for the Western Regions Protectorate to gain a foothold for a long time.

The Western Regions are not as good as Liaodong. Almost all the strong enemies around the Andong Protectorate in Liaodong have been eliminated. The only enemy is the Yingzhou pirates from overseas, so Xu Liao is not under great pressure. Just stabilize the civil situation in Liaodong and prevent civil strife.

The Western Regions are different, and they can be said to be a place of four battles. In addition, the customs and customs of the local people are completely incompatible with the Central Plains. There is a considerable pressure on both the internal and external sides. There must be enough support from the Han people to protect their territory.

Therefore, among these, Han tribes like Wang Tuyu are very important. The main forces of the border army will basically be recruited from all over the northwest. The Pamirs are quite far from Liangzhou and even the four counties in the northwest. Before the Central Army is formally stationed, they can only rely on Han tribes to guard the border.

If you want to gain the hearts of the wandering Han people, you have to understand what they need. Bai Qi has learned from Wang Tuyu that they have extremely difficult hatreds with the states in the Western Regions, and they cannot be said and said in a few words.

This is easy to deal with. Since it is impossible to say harmony and Bai Qi's eloquence is not very good, so I will just stop talking and just meet each other. This will not only avenge the Han tribes, but also solve the shortage of food. Bai Qi feels that it is not a loss no matter how hard he thinks of two things.

Everyone quickly finalized the plan, but Duan Bing said uneasyly: "Governor Bai, I will understand why you are doing, but how should Secretary Xu explain it?

After all, he only has 500 people. Facing the siege of tens of thousands of Hu Nu, even if it is natural danger in the stone castle, he is afraid he can't withstand such a great pressure? If you take the blame at that time, how should you reply to him?"

Bai Qi said without thinking: "General Duan, please remember that things are urgent and serious. The military orders received by the last general are to clear all obstacles to establishing the Western Regions Protectorate. This is what the governor is doing now.

And you can rest assured to the stone castle. Xu Shangshu will understand the difficulties here. Moreover, Xu Shangshu is very capable. When he followed His Majesty to fight in the south and north, I was still farming in the village.

In terms of strategy, except Your Majesty, no one can beat Xu Shangshu. He will have a way to support the army to Longyou. Moreover, our current military rations are not enough to allow tens of thousands of troops to go to Longyou to rescue the siege.

It would be better to go to the Western Regions to force them to hand over their food and go to rescue them after replenishing them."

Duan Yan shook his head helplessly, but he felt that Bai Qi’s analysis was right, that is, he was not familiar with what kind of person Xu Wenjing was.

After the plan was finalized, everyone left again and went to work hard.

An unprecedented catastrophe in the Western Regions was about to break out. After this time, Bai Qi himself did not expect that this trip to the Western Regions would not take long before it was pushed to the forefront by public opinion again. The criticism and approval between the court and the people echoed each other, and the quarrels were irrelevant.

...

January 30th, Yuezhi Kingdom, in the palace...

The newly succeeded Queen of the Yuezhi, Anadoli, was sitting upright in front of a bronze mirror under the service of her maid, quietly combing her hairstyle.

Anadoli is twenty years old this year. Because she married into the country of Vacci as her princess the year before yesterday, she did not want to get the bad news that Bai Qi Tupan Peakling, she had to give up this marriage.

Last year, the old king accidentally fell off the horse while hunting. Since the old king had only one eldest daughter in front of her and her two younger brothers were only a few years old, he became the queen of the Yuezhi Kingdom with the support of the princes and nobles.

It is worth mentioning that the Yuezhi Kingdom is not as particular as the Central Plains. Even women, as long as they are from the royal family, can inherit the throne.

Of course, it does not mean that the status of women in Yuezhi Kingdom is very high. Compared with the current Han Dynasty, the status of women in the Western Regions is almost the same as goods. Even compared with the previous Zhou Dynasty, it is far inferior. Only the status of princes and nobles is transcendent.

Although Anadoli is the Queen of Yuezhi, her power is restricted by the nursing homes in Yuezhi. Apart from the title of queen, she is actually a puppet that is undermined and does not have much real power at all.

Anadoli looked at herself in the bronze mirror. She was so young and beautiful, and her figure was so hot and graceful that she was so obsessed with countless men.
