Chapter 1105: National Sense of Honor
The army chased and killed for three days and captured countless people. In desperation, Anxi sent an envoy to make peace. The Western Regions were no longer the targets they could bully at will. With the Western Regions King and the Protectorate, Anxi people knew very well that they needed to correct their attitude.
Otherwise, the Protectorate in the Central Plains might have been set up to rest in peace.
"King of the Western Regions! Rest in peace, what do you think?" Zhang Xiong asked.
The war was suspended and Zhang Xiong returned to Cao Cao's royal city.
"We don't know what your Majesty's attitude towards Anxue, and I dare not make arbitrary decisions," Cao Cao said.
They really couldn't guess what Wu Shun meant, so when the Absassin came to the peace, Cao Cao and Zhang Xiong first chose to truce the war and then sent people back to Kyoto to report the message. At the same time, Cao Cao first comforted the messenger from the Absin, and he and Zhang Xiong had to make a preliminary judgment.
If you continue to fight, the benefits are not great.
"Since I dare not make a decision, let the country of Anxu send our caravan and goods back intact," said Zhang Xiong.
Originally, he wanted to double down, but if he thought about it carefully, he would just forget it. If Wu Shun came to order to continue fighting, they would have a saying that they would do it directly.
A great Central Plains will not attack other countries for no reason.
"I have to do this. The second general can pass the orders to Protector Gao. The front-line army must not be slackened and must continue to maintain pressure on the Sakura people. Let's drag it here first. We have the upper hand. The one who is anxious is the Sakura people." Cao Cao said.
"Okay, let's listen to the King of the Western Regions." Zhang Xiong agreed to Cao Cao's proposal without any other good way and notified the results of the discussion to the front line.
Gao Shun led his troops to become famous in a battle, and the Western Regions coalition forces beheaded countless times. The reputation of the Western Regions Protectorate's Mansion spread throughout the Kingdom of Anxi. For a time, Gao Shun's name could stop the children from crying at night after resting.
The King of Sakura sent the saying and the messenger had not returned for a long time, and the Western Regions coalition forces approached step by step, and would advance a distance every day. No matter how severe the Sakura protested, it would not work.
In Gao Shun's words, the state of war between the two sides has not been lifted, and Anxi's unilateral withdrawal of troops cannot require the Western Regions coalition to stop the action.
He could not fight and could not defeat him, and King Anxi had no choice. He wanted to mobilize heavy troops to defend, but he was afraid that Gao Shun would misunderstand and launched an attack on them. He could only retreat when the Western Regions coalition forces advanced.
The generals on the front line of the Abnormal Kingdom were extremely disgusted with the order of King Abnormal to defend and not attack, but the gap in strength between the two sides was there, and they might not dare to attack.
After the previous war, the number of the Anxu Army was almost the same as that of the Western Regions Alliance. Such a large-scale battle and such large casualties were the first time in the history of the Anxu Kingdom.
Unlike Gao Shun who was used to wars, Anxu Kingdom was almost a hegemon in this area of resistance. He was used to being generous in his daily life, but he usually couldn't fight hard battles, and he was extremely prone to psychological problems.
The Western Regions coalition forces were aggressive, and the domestic demand for battle continued to stop. King Anxi had to recall the reasons for this conflict.
Only when the cause is found can rest and the Western Regions return to peace.
After some investigation, King Abdul-Silence learned that the cause of the war was actually a caravan, which made him feel a little amused.
The Central Plains Empire, which had already been in power in the Western Regions, actually fought against them because of a caravan.
Not to mention that King Absus knew about this before, even if he saw it with his own eyes, he would not believe it. It would be incredible that a caravan triggered a war.
Because King Silence believed that the great power in the East had no conflict of interest with them.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that in the Central Plains, a steamed bun could trigger a bloody crime!
After finding the reason, King Anxi immediately asked someone to release the Mi family's caravan and sent a minister to apologize, promising that the caravan's losses would be compensated three times.
The Mi family caravan was not jealous of the three-fold compensation. As long as they returned their own items, they rushed back to the territory of Dayuan.
Before leaving, the responsible person of the Mi family caravan said to the official of the Anxi Kingdom who was responsible for apologizing: His Majesty the Emperor of Shu will come out to uphold justice for the unfair treatment we receive in your country.
This sentence scared people very much. You have let you go, why are you still threatening? And you don’t accept the three-fold compensation.
If you want to apologize, you have no chance. The officials of the Rest have the heart to cry. If you fail to perfectly complete the tasks assigned by the Rest King, you will have to be punished.
The Mi family caravan returned safely, and Gao Shun's coalition stopped moving forward and stationed on the spot.
This time, the Mi family caravan was robbed and killed by Anxi people. More than ten guards died, but Gao Shun had led his troops to kill Anxi people. In comparison, the Mi family caravan's losses were negligible.
"Mi Yuan, the manager of the Mi family caravan, has met Lord Protector!"
"It's good that you'll come back safely. This place is a place of war. Fights will break out at any time. The caravan should return to Dayuan as soon as possible." Gao Shun said to Mi Yuan.
"Sir, I realized that our Shu Kingdom is powerful only after being robbed this time!"
Mi Yuan was filled with emotion.
Although they were robbed, the Ariesmen did not do anything except the guards who fought hard to fight and died. The Western Regions coalition forces dispatched, and the Ariesmen even provided them with good wine and food.
This is because the Western Regions coalition forces put pressure on the Abduls, which gave them such a distinguished guest treatment.
In the final analysis, it was the power of Shu Kingdom that made the Abdulgence dare not do anything to them.
"Your Majesty once taught that the duty of a soldier is to defend his country! You are here to go out and you cannot be bullied! Even if the enemy is far away, those who offend me will be punished!" Gao Shun said proudly.
Everything he did interprets this sentence well, and he has reason to be proud. Every soldier who defends his country is qualified to be proud.
"That's a good sentence that those who offend me will be punished!" Mi Yuan was so moved that he burst into tears. He took the caravan to return to the Central Plains. He wanted to publicize the origin of the war.
For their inconspicuous caravan, the Western Regions Protectorate used 50,000 troops to attack Anxi Kingdom, and finally won the battle! Shu Kingdom is mighty!
...
"Have you heard of it?"
"What did you hear?"
"The Western Regions Protector Gao led the Western Regions coalition forces to defeat the Western Regions Kingdom in one battle, and cut off countless heads, which scared the country to send envoys to discuss peacekeeping. It really exalted our country's power and made people excited."
"Master Gao, is it General Gao Shungao, the commander general of the White Tiger Camp?"
“That’s right!”
"Why do you want to fight the resting kingdom?"
"you do not know?"
"Not very clear!"
"Because the Anxi people were bold and arrogant, they robbed our Shu caravan!"
"Why does the caravan sound so happy when he is robbed and sent troops to attack others?"
"Hahaha...who said no."
Since the Mi family caravan returned to Kyoto, similar voices have been discussed across the country.
Some people say that Shu Kingdom is strong and should be convinced by virtue and should not bully the weak. Some people say that resting in peace should be taught a lesson.
