Chapter 1011: Placate the Western Regions

Ailang led his army to the west, chasing the north, completely turning into a one-sided pursuit.

The Kushan Empire's servants either fled or surrendered, leaving only the Kushan army fleeing westward, while fewer and fewer people around Abbas were around.

Ailang led his army to chase until the Pamir east of Shule before finally retracting.

At this time, less than a hundred people were left by Abbas, and they were as anxious as a dog that was strayed from home and as anxious as a fish that had escaped the net.

The Qin army had stopped chasing, but they did not dare to stop.

Ailang stood on the top of a peak and looked into the distance. He saw that the mountains and rivers were steep and steep, which was hard to describe. This Palacio Mountain was in the middle of this land, controlling the important roads from south to north to east to west. His strategic position was very important! A thought suddenly arose in Ailang's mind. It would be better to build a fortress here, so that he could control the entire Western Regions and serve as a bridgehead for continuing to move west.

Thinking of this, Ailang couldn't help but make up his mind.

At this time, an officer rushed behind Ailang, clasped his fists and said, "Report to the kings of lords, Shule, Dayuan, Shache and other countries, to come and want to pay homage to the lord!"

The kings mentioned by the officers are the kings of small Western countries around the Pamir Mountains.

Now that the Qin army has defeated the Kushan army in one fell swoop, these kings of small countries can't wait to show their loyalty.

Ailang's heart moved and immediately ordered the officers to bring the kings over.

I saw five or six middle-aged men and young men dressed in Western Regions costumes coming to me. Without saying a word, I would bow to you first and shout long live.

Ailang smiled and said, "Everyone doesn't have to be too polite."

Everyone was busy thanking each other and stood up.

The head of Dayuan King Nurtai said humbly: "I am here to hope that the King of Qin can forgive our sins! We, in fact, never want to be enemies with the King of Qin, but we were coerced by the Kushans and had to offend the King of Qin! No matter what, this is our sin, so please forgive me!"

The other kings also apologized and looked a little worried.

Ailang walked to Nuertai.

Nurtai and others felt a little uneasy, their heads hanged even lower, like a group of lambs praying for mercy by tigers and wolves, and like facing the gods and mortals, waiting for their destiny to come tremblingly.

Ailang smiled and said, "Don't be afraid! I know what Kushan forced you, and I won't blame you!" When everyone heard this, they were like a general amnesty, and they couldn't help but bow, "Thank you for your kindness from the King of Qin!"

Ailang said: "However, if something similar happens in the future, I will not show mercy!"

Everyone's hearts were terrified and timid. Now that they were given a hundred courages, they would never dare to have any unfair intentions.

Ailang smiled and said, "Be loyal to me, you will never regret it."

I will send civil servants to help you govern the local area in the future. Of course, you are still the leader of all countries. This will never change. In your respective countries, you have the final say.

Do you have any objections?”

Everyone felt that it was no big deal to just send a civil servant to help govern the country. They hurriedly agreed and thanked the King of Qin for his care.

At this moment, all the kings did not realize that in more than ten years, they would become a nominal king.

Ailang thought about building a fortress in the Pamir Mountains, so he said, "I plan to build a fortress here, to protect the business and travelers from horse thieves, and to warn Kushan.

Your countries will go back and send people to help.

Don't worry, I won't be less than a penny of the salary I should give."

The kings hurriedly said, "I dare not! It is our honor to be able to serve the King of Qin!"

Ailang smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Don't say that, one code will be the same.

You must make it clear to your citizens that there will be more and less wages, so that they can all come over with confidence.”

Seeing Ailang insisted, the kings were happy and bowed to their promises.

A few days later, Ailang left Gao Shun to lead 20,000 infantry troops to station in Pamir, and then led the army eastward.

Shortly after he left, the people mobilized by various countries arrived one after another, with tens of thousands of people.

After these people arrived, they were still a little frightened.

However, after discovering that the Qin army was very friendly to them and did give them enough wages as promised, the panic-hearted heart suddenly turned into joy and everyone calmed down to work.

After hearing the news that working in Pamir is very good, many people couldn't help but temptation, gave up their original jobs, and rushed to Pamir to do things.

The construction site of the Pamir Mountains was in full swing, and a huge fortress based on the mountain rose up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Just as Ailang led his army back to Jingjue Kingdom, a war report came.

The shrewd Kangju people suddenly raided the royal city of Wusun from behind and captured the Queen Wusun and others. Then they handed over the royal city of Wusun and most of the land and the Queen Wusun to the Qin army and surrendered to the Qin army.

At this point, the Battle of the Western Expedition can be said to have ended successfully.

Ailang arrived at Jingjue Kingdom, and then rushed back to Puchanghai without stopping and convened countries in the Western Regions to attend the meeting. At the meeting, Ailang ordered Mao Jie to manage the entire Western Regions affairs for his plenipotent representative, and stipulated that the countries in the Western Regions should not attack each other. If there was a conflict, the Western Regions Protectorate must mediate. If anyone dared to disobey this agreement, all countries would fight and question.

Of course, countries will not and dare not have any opinions on Ailang's decision.

In addition, Ailang also gave Queen Jingjue the identity of an envoy of the Qin Palace, and had the right to work with the Protectorate to handle major affairs in the Western Regions.

After Ailang finished all this, he rushed back to the Central Plains first.

Because there was a huge change in the Central Plains.

Cao Zhang, the general of the Cao army, suddenly seized Bingzhou and issued a decree to attack, claiming that Cao Pi killed his father and seized the throne and wanted to attack Cao Pi.

As a result, Cao's army attacking Liaodong quickly withdrew.

Liu Bei received the news and stopped the attack, but Sun Jian was caught by Zhou Yu's plan. The main army was ambushed near Yuzhang. The Shiting army went to Bating, and the remaining defeated general fled back to Cangwu.

The Qin army not only recovered the previously lost counties and counties in one fell swoop, but also drove straight into the city of Cangwu.

Zhou Yu's army rushed to the city. At the same time, the Zhurong family brought a barbarian army to help with the war, and more than 100,000 troops surrounded Cangwu. The situation was a critical moment for Sun Jian.

Ailang rushed back to Luoyang Qinwang Mansion. Before he could take a breath, Sun Ren had already knelt in front of him.

Seeing this, Ailang quickly helped her up and asked, "Shangxiang, what are you doing?"

Sun Ren looked at Ai Lang, tears shone in his eyes, begging: "My brother, please spare my life!"

When Ailang heard this, he smiled and said, "I never planned to kill them!"

Then he got to the seat and said helplessly: "But now that things have come to this point, they never surrendered, which really makes me a little annoyed! In this case, even if I am willing to let them go, but there is no eyebrow on the battlefield, I can't guarantee that they are safe and sound!"

Sun Ren hurriedly said, "Brother, I go to Cangwu to lobby them, and I will convince them to surrender to my elder brother!"

Ai Lang hesitated a little. Although Sun Jian is Sun Ren's father and Sun Ce is Sun Ren's brother, both sides are afraid that they have already been red in their eyes. When Sun Ren goes... Sun Ren seems to see Ai Lang's worry and hurriedly said: "Brother, don't worry! My father and brother will definitely not hurt me!"

Then he said rudely: "If Brother Don't allow me to go, I will also secretly rush to Cangwu. Brother, you can't stand me!"

Ai Lang was very annoyed, but then he felt that since Sun Ren had such thoughts, he was afraid that he would really not be able to stop him. After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "Okay! You go!"

Sun Ren was overjoyed and thanked him.

Ailang pulled Sun Ren up and said angrily: "But you have to remember it for me! Everything is put on your own safety first. If the situation is wrong, protect yourself first, and there is no need to say anything more!"

Sun Ren nodded gratefully.

On that day, Sun Ren left Luoyang with a few female soldiers and rushed to Cangwu, south.

A few days later, Ailang also left Luoyang and led a guard south to Cangwu.

He traveled day and night along the way, and a few days later he arrived at the military camp outside Cangwu City.

Zhou Yu and Zhurong came to pay their respects.

Ailang was worried about Sun Ren's safety and immediately asked: "Where is Shang Xiang?

Has she not come out yet?"

Zhou Yu and others looked at each other, and Zhu Rong clasped his fists and said, "It has been two days since Sister Sun Ren entered, but no news has come out. I don't know what's going on?"

When Ailang heard this, he became anxious and stood up and paced back and forth.

Zhou Yu couldn't help but clasped his fists and said, "Lord, don't worry! After all, Mrs. Sun Ren is Sun Jian's daughter and Sun Ce's sister. As the saying goes, "A good tiger is poisonous and doesn't eat children. Sun Jian and Sun Ce will never do anything worse than beasts! I guess Sun Jian and Sun Ce are hesitating, so there is no news in the city! In fact, there is no news, but it can be said to be good news!"

When Ailang heard Zhou Yu's words, his originally worried heart couldn't help but calm down a lot.

He returned to his seat and sat down and said, "Then wait for another day! If there is no news yet, I will call me!"

Everyone agreed with their fists.

However, time passed slowly, and the day finally passed, but Cangwu opposite him still had no movement, and Sun Ren seemed to have no news as if he was a muddy cow in the sea.

Ailang was worried and could no longer wait, so he ordered the army to attack the city immediately.

At this moment, a personal soldier officer suddenly ran in and reported to Ailang: "Madam Sun Ren, she, she,..." The officer stopped and swallowed his saliva when he said this.

Ailang was very anxious and quickly stepped forward and pulled him up, asking angrily: "What's wrong with Sun Ren?

Don't tell me something happened to her!"

At this time, Ailang had already raised his heart to his throat.
