139 The Love of Qiuci

As the saying goes, one person plans to be poor, two people are smart.

Li Ru and Xi Zhicai combined their swords. When they went to Kucha, they decided to achieve success. Just leave one person to defend the camp and lead another person to advance. Whether it is attacking or defending, Liu Bei can be invincible.

I imagine that the countries in the Western Regions can match the two of them, and they are simply unique.

As soon as he was happy, he drank a few more drinks. After three rounds of wine, Liu Bei got up and stopped the banquet. He sent off all the remaining officials. Liu Bei then took a shower and changed his clothes and entered the inner room. He raised his troops for three days and used troops for a while.

Seven young ladies are here for their husbands!

He jumped on his horse and whipped it, killing the river and the waves went east and washed away all the waves, and he was defeated for thousands of miles and could not form an army.

The inside story is really not worthy of being told by outsiders.

The next morning, I felt refreshed. Seeing that the seven young ladies were still sleeping soundly, I quietly got up and the An sisters were serving to wash and change clothes.

As soon as he put down the porridge bowl, Xi Zhicai came to report early. He asked to enter the big tent to discuss it. Only then did Liu Bei learn that Bai Zhuo had arrived with the convoy.

This ordered people to call him.

"Bai Zhuo pays homage to the lord." Compared to Shao Shi, the national hatred and family hatred of the two when they first met were deeply bitter and deep. Bai Zhuo's expression was calm and quite calm.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, but everything is fine?" Liu Bei smiled and told him to get up.

"Report to the lord. Zhuo is fine. He has no worries about food and clothing, and he has no worries about food and clothing." Bai Zhuo then sat down: "I have been in Linxiang for a long time and have been a native of Linxiang. If I had not heard that the lord wanted to travel to the Western Regions, I would have almost forgotten the major affairs of my family and country."

"I agreed with the chief clerk and the official, and wanted to go to Kucha. Can I tell you the feelings of my hometown in detail?" Liu Bei asked with a smile.

"Why do you need the lord to ask? Zhuo Zi should know everything and say everything."

He paused for a moment. The old thing that was buried in his heart and did not want to be mentioned easily was told by Bai Zhuo.

The Kucha Rebellion was a dispute over the throne.

The cause was Baiba.

Bai Ba was originally the attendant of the Han Dynasty, so he was close to the Han Dynasty. Because of this, in the ninth year of Jianchu (84), Ban Chao abolished King Yulido of Kucha and made Bai Ba king. Bai Ba also lived up to expectations and sent troops to assist Ban Chao in attacking and surrendering Yanqi and Yuli, and made the Han court rule the Western Regions again. After Ban Dingyuan returned to the country, the countries in the Western Regions rebelled against the Han Dynasty. The Western Regions protected Duan Xi, Ren Shang, Liang Dong, Zhao Bo and others were besieged and led 9,000 troops to retreat to Kucha. There were also nobles in the Kucha Kingdom who were secretly loyal to the deposed King Yulido, who wanted to rebel against the Han Dynasty again.

Seeing the country's turmoil and still young alone, Bai Ba passed the throne to his brother Bai Ying.

Bai Ying succeeded Bai Ba as king and wiped out the turmoil in one fell swoop. Ban Yong, the son of Ban Chao, persuaded Bai Ying to surrender. Ying hesitated and Yong Kai was unresolved. Bai Ying immediately led Gu Mo and Wen Su to surrender. In the fourth year of Yanguang (125), Bai Ying led his army to attack the front of Cheshi and defeated King Yili of the Huns. The following year, he attacked the rear of Cheshi and defeated King Huyan of the Huns. In order to reopen the Western Regions, he made great contributions.

Because of this, the squad leader Shi Cai said: "If you want to obtain the Western Regions, you must first obtain Kucha."

Kucha was a major oasis country in the Western Regions. He once married Wusun. He had more than a thousand miles from east to west and more than 600 miles from north to south. There were 6970 households (6970), 81,317 (81,317), and 21,76 soldiers (21,076). He had a great commander, a marquis of the State, an marquis of the State, an marquis of the State, an marquis of the State, an marquis of the State, an marquis of the State, an marquis of the State, an marquis of the State, an marquis of the State, an marquis of the State, an marquis of the State, an marquis of the State, an marquis of the State, an marquis of the State, an marquis of the State, an marquis of the State, an marquis of the State, an marquis of the State, an marquis of the State, an marquis of the State, an marquis of the State, an marquis of the State, an marquis of the State, an marquis of the State, an marquis of the State, an marquis of the State, an marquis of the State, an marquis of the State, an marquis of the State, an marquis of the State, an marquis of the State, an marquis of the State, an marquis of the State, an marquis of the State, an marquis of the State, an marquis of the State, an marquis of the State, an marquis of the State, an marquis of the State, an marquis of the State, an marquis of the State, an marquis of the State, an marquis of the State, an marquis of the State, an marquis of the State, an marquis of the

However, a small city-state with 180,000 people has more than 20,000 defenders. As mentioned earlier, the mercenaries in the Western Regions are a mature group.

As a great country on the Silk Road, Kucha's prosperity provided sufficient financial support for the existence of mercenaries. There were even many Han troops guarding the border who spontaneously became mercenaries after they were discharged from the army and were entrusted by countries in the Western Regions.

Because they were brothers, there were different ways to inherit the throne of Kucha.

Bai Ying died in the second year of Yongjian (127th year). Because his son was also young, he passed the throne to his brother Bai Ba's son Bai Lie. Bai Lie was then the third generation of Kucha King of Bai family. If the rules of passing the throne among his brothers were followed, Bai Lie should pass the throne to Bai Ying's lineage after his death.

The Bai family Kucha kings, which were recorded in history, seem to conform to the principle of passing on the throne. Bai Ba, Bai Ying, Bai Chun, Bai Zhen. It can also be seen that they echo each other from the naming. Ba, Zhen, Ying, Chun.

Bai Zhuo is obviously from Bai Ying's lineage.

It was Bai Ying's eldest grandson. Unfortunately, his father Bai Hua died early in his prime. Therefore, the Bai Ying lineage, who should have inherited the next Kucha throne, had a gap in the throne. Should it be Bai Zhuo who passed it to his grandchildren in another generation, or to Bai Lie's son, Bai Meng.

The Kucha court was arguing endlessly. In addition, there were people behind the scenes that fanned the flames and caused the originally peaceful Kucha Kingdom to suddenly rise.

Seeing that the two factions were about to meet each other, Bai Lie's son Bai Meng was suddenly assassinated while going out to hunt and died after returning to the palace.

This matter became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

The King of Kucha was furious and sent the palace guards to hunt down ministers and nobles who supported Bai Ying's lineage. He also killed all the younger clans, but Bai Zhuo fled alone.

It is said that Lao Wang has been ill since then. Now he is about to die, and he is promising to die soon.

Bai Lie succeeded to the throne in the third year of Yongjian and has been in power for fifty and four years. He surpassed Chengde, the second generation of Kucha, and was considered a long-lived king.

After listening to Bai Zhuo’s statement, Liu Bei sighed.

Typically, a knife is used to kill people.

If you want to clarify your clues, you will look at the interests: if Lao Wang’s only son is killed, it will naturally not be the mastermind; if Bai Zhuo’s family is killed, it will not be possible.

Who else?

It is probably the nobles in Kucha who have ulterior motives.

Liu Bei asked again: "Does Bai Meng have children?"

"Yes." Bai Zhuo nodded slightly: "The name is Bai Xiong. He should be over ten years old this year."

Xi Zhicai, who had been sitting by the side and listening quietly, said: "A young lord will become a powerful minister."

Liu Bei nodded and asked again: "Who is Bai Xiong's mother?"

"Princess Naisha Che Kingdom." Bai Zhuo replied.

Everything became clear.

Shache Kingdom was once strong for a while. Later, Ban Dingyuan planned to defeat Shache Kingdom. After this battle, Ban Dingyuan became famous in the Western Regions. However, Shache Kingdom gradually declined and was destroyed by Shule Kingdom after it was in a slump.

In the face of the disaster of destruction, Shache Guodao wanted to join forces with Kucha to try to make a comeback. He hit it off with the nobles in Kucha.

After all, it is still a dispute over power.

Liu Bei then asked: "If you conquer Kucha, can you think of becoming king?"

Bai Zhuo shook his head flatly: "I don't want to."

"Why?" Liu Bei was stunned when he answered so firmly.

"Zhuo just wants to be with the princess forever, and doesn't want to be the King of Kucha." Bai Zhuo bowed and bowed.

"In this way, let's talk about it later when you enter the city." Liu Bei did not say death. People's ideas changed according to time and place. When the true attack on the capital of Kucha, Xu Baizhuo had new ideas, which is not known. It is better not to say too much.

"Here!" Bai Zhuo stood up.

Suddenly, people outside the tent neighed. Yesterday, Xi Zhi had just arrived with one hundred soldiers and chariots. The auxiliary soldiers in the camp were putting two hundred soldiers into a slightly larger camp. The nine thousand sets of treasury armor filled with the roof were ready to be distributed to the soldiers under his command.

Guan and Zhang, the two righteous brothers, and the commander of the troops under their command, the commander of the army, the commander of the squad, and the Xianbei warriors were all eager to try and ready to go.

Apart from the two thousand new sets of armor for Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and Qu's clan, the rest were all replaced by the first-generation armor of Lou Sang. The defense was sufficient.

Eight thousand Xianbei elite riders, all of whom are equipped with costumes.

When Qu Yi led the remaining 900 chariots of Chang'an camp arrived, Liu Bei sent his troops westward.
