On June 5, General Rong Mi appeared in Hecheng County with 36,000 troops and was defeated from Qianning to Hecheng. It took four days for more than 230 miles between the two places. In these four days, the Zheng army was like maggots attached to bones, which could appear anytime and anywhere, especially the 5,000 light cavalry led by Guan Pingzhong, which was like dog skin cream stuck to his body, and occasionally peeled off a layer of flesh from the Western Regions Army.

They retreated and fought all the way, and the army lost all their morale. In addition to the killed and abandoned wounded soldiers, Rong Mi's army had deserters every day. When they arrived in Hecheng County, only 36,000 were left. Fortunately, the county town passed by had food and grass reserves, otherwise these people would not be able to be saved.

When he entered Hecheng County, Bei Qisi found that the road was destroyed, the bridge was broken, and the army was blocked. He once dared to invade Hecheng County with the tiger. This familiar scene made him feel an ominous feeling. This tactic was ordered by Jiang Anyi, the governor of Huazhou. Bei Qisi ordered to rush to Jingmen Pass as soon as possible. As long as the pass is out, the sea is wide and the sky is wide.

In front of Jingmen Pass, when he saw the flag of Zheng army flying, Bei Qisi's heart sank to the bottom of the valley. The slope that entered the gate had been dug up long ago. Thunderbolt chariots and winch crossbows lined up, and thousands of Zheng troops blocked the way. The slope was only three meters wide, and there were only four carriages side by side. Although there were tens of thousands of people, they could not be deployed. After Bei Qisi attacked for an hour, Guan Pingzhong's light cavalry launched an attack behind him. Bei Qisi had no choice but to order his troops to attack Hecheng County.

Hecheng County was stationed by Jiang Anyong. When tens of thousands of Rong Mi troops passed outside the city, Jiang Anyong made a quick decision and took a thousand defenders and the people to leave the city. Beishisi entered Hecheng County without any effort. Guan Pingzhong and Jiang Anyi met successfully. With five thousand new troops, Jiang Anyi was full of confidence. This group of Rong Mi troops had become a fish in the net.

The next day, Bei Qisi led his army to attack Jingmen Pass and found that there were several improved thunder chariots on the Jingmen Pass. He immediately ordered the abandon Jingmen to run for the Jiyun to break through. Unexpectedly, he encountered tens of thousands of Zheng troops robbed and killed him halfway. Bei Qisi knew that the situation was destined, so he had to retreat to Hecheng County again. Jiang Anyi did not attack the city, and ordered the Zheng army to recover the lost territory and capture the defeated Western Regions coalition forces.

Ten days later, except for a few counties, Huazhou, Huazhou, had been recovered, and in addition to the more than 34,000 people from Rong Mi Kingdom trapped in Hecheng County, the Zheng army also captured more than 14,000 Western Regions coalition forces. The danger of the Western Regions coalition forces invaded the east in November last year was relieved. Seeing the group of prisoners being escorted by, Jiang Anyi was full of pride. He had completely changed the situation of the Huazhou battle in just over two months. The Western Regions coalition forces invaded 360,000, and half of them were in Huazhou. His vitality was severely damaged. It may be difficult to go east again in the twenty years this year.

Guan Pingzhong smiled and said, "Sir, although more than 30,000 Rong Mi still trapped in Hecheng County, the victory has been decided and it is time to report the victory to the court." Yan Jiancai and Huang Jifei both smiled. This time, the victory of the court must be rewarded with great rewards. They have also become famous generals of the world and have been recorded in history.

Jiang Anyi said: "I have ordered someone to draft a memorial. After the drafting is made, please sign and submit it together."

"The important thing now is to recall the fleeing people. The wheat in the fields is about to be ripe, so people need to be harvested. The labor service will be more troublesome." As a strategic envoy, Jiang Anyi not only cared about military affairs, but also had to worry about civil affairs.

Speaking of official affairs, Fang Shishu Zhengrong said: "I didn't expect Lord Jiang to be able to drive away the thieves in the Western Regions so quickly, and I was a little inadequate. But don't worry, the subordinates will definitely not miss the matter of collecting grain."

Jiang Anyi continued: "General Guan, you can assign five thousand light cavalry to Jiang Anyong, let him go out of the customs and sweep away the fleeing Western Regions army, and capture more prisoners. Many people were left with a siege to see how many people could be rescued."

Yan Jiancai said: "Mr. Jiang, there are many prisoners captured this time. What do you plan to deal with?"

Jiang Anyi replied: "I am going to let these prisoners pave bridges and build roads and rebuild the county town. Huazhou has been very harmful to them and cannot be let go of them easily. Longwei sent envoys to various countries to send letters, asking them to exchange the people of Zheng for prisoners, and one army for ten people."

"Send people to Hecheng County to recruit surrender, ask them to send a letter back to Rongmi State, and ask Rongmi State to redeem them. If the people of Zheng State are not enough, let them exchange their wealth." Jiang Anyi said coldly.

Fang Shishu sighed: "My dear and kindness brings all the kindness of Huazhou people. As the governor of Huazhou, I cannot sit idly by and watch. I am willing to jointly sign the memorial to the court." The emperor gave Jiang Anyi the right to stop the matter, but the tens of thousands of prisoners were dealt with by themselves without the court's discussion. The Censorate could not avoid suing Jiang Anyi for this act. Therefore, Fang Shishu wanted to help him and jointly submit the memorial to share some pressure. Fang Shishu asked himself that the emperor still trusted him, and then wrote a sealed memorial to explain the reason, so that Anyi could not be attacked by the Censor.

In Hecheng County, Bei Qisi looked at the Zheng army stationed outside the four gates and knew that more than 30,000 troops had become turtles in the jar. This time, the eastward invasion of Rong Mi Kingdom, sent 120,000 troops, all of which were elite in China. Unexpectedly, they were all in Huazhou. Fortunately, the lord returned to China, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

The envoy of Zheng's army entered the city and brought Jiang Anyi's surrender document. The document was written very clearly, so that Rong Mi's army could lay down their weapons and surrender and become prisoners. They were prepared to send people to Rong Mi to send letters to redeem the prisoners. The price was to exchange an ordinary soldier for ten Zheng people. As for the generals and officials, if the Zheng people were not enough, gold and silver could be used instead, and a soldier would be given a hundred taels of silver.

Bei Zhisi let the envoy leave the city and promised to reply within tomorrow. As the leader of the ten major Jin Guards of Rong Mi, Bei Zhisi was deeply trusted by Hu Rui and was actually the commander of the three armies of Rong Mi. Under the leadership of the former king Hu Dan, Rong Mi's country's national strength became increasingly stronger and his actions were inevitable. The small countries around the border dared to be angry but dared not speak out. If he could not lead his army back, the situation of Rong Mi became very dangerous. Xiuli and Le Li took the opportunity to cause trouble to invade the country. Tian Wei, Wei Che, Juxu and other countries might also take advantage of the situation. Even small countries like Shasu and Qiang Lan might take advantage of the situation to rob. At that time, the powerful Rong Mi might be divided by the countries. As a Rong Mi, when he thought of the possible consequences, Bei Zhisi was anxious.

He held the official document written by Jiang Anyi, and Bei Qisi looked bitter. This Zheng man was really powerful. He blocked the path of the former king's eastward advance with three thousand light cavalry. Emperor Zheng sent him to Huazhou for only two months. The coalition forces were defeated from victory, and the lives of more than 30,000 soldiers of Rong Mi were at his hands. This person was a disaster for the countries in the Western Regions.

In fact, when he saw Jiang Anyi's letter, Bei Jisi decided to capture the people of Zheng who were captured in exchange for the soldiers to return. He believed that the king would make the same choice. The reason why he did not agree immediately was to think carefully, so that he would not lose his wife and his troops, and summon the generals in the army to discuss. Seeing that there was a glimmer of hope for life, no one was going to be determined to die.

Five Rong Mi envoys left Jingmen Pass with letters. Jiang Anyong took five thousand light cavalry out of the Jiyun Pass and met Park Tianhao soon after. Park Tianhao was a little depressed. He was ordered to recruit horse thieves to harass the Western Regions coalition forces, but the horse thieves were as cunning as oil and sent troops to accept the gifts without negotiation. Baigong Science developed an improved Thunderbolt chariot, which changed the situation of the war in one fell swoop. The Western Regions coalition forces were quickly defeated. These horse thieves saw an opportunity and did not need Park Tianhao to greet them. They sent troops to grab supplies and kill the defeated soldiers to seize armor and weapons.

Seeing that Park Tianhao was a little listless, Jiang Anyong smiled and said, "Brother Park, my brother asked me to tell you that it is not your fault for recruiting horse thieves. He was not careful. I was ordered to come and chase the defeated troops in the Western Regions. So I killed those horse thieves and exhaled you. It is said that horse thieves have money, so let's grab more money and go back, and my brother will definitely be happy.

happiness."

There are as many horse thieves on the Gobi Desert, with more than a thousand people, and only dozens of people in the small world. Many of them are simply spies from various countries in the Western Regions. Park Tianhao was really angry and laughed and said, "Thank you, General Yong. I know there are horse thirty miles away, and there are more than 300 people. I will destroy him first. Then I will rest there and go to suppress another one at night. We will take our supplies from these horse thieves' dens."

Jiang Anyong said, "I heard from my elder brother that Xiaoji is a distribution center for horse thieves. Why don't Brother Pu lead the way and we will suppress Xiaozhen. My brother's gun, bow, and the bow I used were all obtained from there, and there are many good things there."

Park Tianhao was startled by Jiang Anyong's suggestion and said, "No, although those market towns are gathering places for horse thieves, they are also supply stations for merchants. If they are cleared, the exchanges between merchants in the Western Regions will probably be cut off. General Yong must not lose his big mistakes because of the small, and ruin the lord's affairs."

Jiang Anyong swept across the Gobi Desert with five thousand light cavalry. The horse thieves complained, but few had the courage to compete with the Zheng army and fled to the distance. Jiang Anyong gained a lot in the first few days, and then he didn't even catch the shadow of the horse thieves. The people who occupied the nests left the nests, leaving nothing but the horse manure on the ground.

The Western Regions Allied Forces were defeated and Jiang'anyi restarted the border city. Vendors came and the long caravans appeared again on the Gobi Desert. At the same time, there were teams of redeeming prisoners of war from various countries. The yamen was busy from top to bottom, and arranged for the returning people to organize harvesting wheat fields, reorganizing destroyed houses, and repairing roads and bridges. Huazhou showed a lively scene.

The first batch of 100,000 people brought by Rong Mi Kingdom to exchange for ten thousand Rong Mi troops. The Rong Mi army, who was not allowed to withdraw, took away weapons and armor. The man was under the low eaves and had to recognize him. The ten thousand people returned to Rong Mi Kingdom. Hu Rui breathed a sigh of relief, and finally Jiang Anyi kept his promise. There was no such person next time, so he had to buy from various countries. Zheng Nu's price soared, twenty taels were one of them, and there were no prices. All countries had captives in the hands of Zheng people, and everyone wanted to exchange Zheng Nu for their own soldiers.

The undercurrent was rushing in the Western Regions, and the spies of the Long Guard and the Secret Guard naturally would not miss the opportunity. Various rumors spread among the countries, and the relations between the countries that were already guarding against each other were even more tense. Then there was news that the Western Regions had sent troops to advance eastward, and the Western Regions were extremely nervous.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Hu Rui, the ruler of Rong Mi, raised 2 million taels of silver and 80,000 Zheng Nu, redeemed Beiqisi and others. Although the weapons and horses were thrown into Zheng State, 36,000 trained soldiers returned to the country. He was much more confident. The neighboring countries that were ready to take advantage of the situation also had the idea of ​​taking advantage of the situation. Other countries followed suit and redeemed their own soldiers. This time, the invasion of the east did not lead to the loss of rice, which was greatly damaged.

Of course, there were also profits. Under the leadership of Yang Siqi, the Great Qi State borrowed Weiche State and lived in one city in Xu State. Jiang Anyong swept the horse thieves, and Yang Siqi sent people to recruit and conquer them. At present, the Great Qi State has 14,000 light cavalry and 12,000 infantry, plus more than 60,000 people captured from Hecheng and Yi Ding. The Great Qi State occupied the four cities, connected to the Gobi Desert in the east and the Rong Mi in the west, and the climate was first established.
