At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Then, the only way to choose is to fight, and the other ways are no longer feasible.

Ever since, Da Kunmi's troops were also ready for war, and Xin Limi led an army of [-] to face the army led by Atami.

About mid-July in the fourth year of Yande, the Wusun civil war broke out irretrievably.

chapter 1037 one thousand and forty-seven Cao Xiu was very "angry"

Atami and Xinlimi fought many fierce battles at the junction of the two forces.

Before the main forces of both sides arrived, the two sides continued to send forwards to fight each other, trying to occupy some favorable terrain.

The forward team of hundreds of nearly a thousand people fought fiercely, wrestled, and kept winning and losing.

Before the main players of both sides arrived on the battlefield, the striker duel between Atami and Xinlimi had been carried out seven times.

Atami won five times, while Xinlimi won only twice.

Such a battle situation made Atami think that he had a great chance of winning, and the morale of the team was even stronger.

On the other hand, Xinlimi's troops seemed relatively weak. Facing the fierce Atami's elite, Xinlimi's army seemed weak, and they were defeated several times, which brought a great blow to the morale of the army.

Xinlimi was very anxious and called the elders to ask about countermeasures.

At this moment, the elders' countermeasures are also very simple.

They had no other choice but to hope that the envoys they sent to the city of Qiuci would call Cao Xiu as soon as possible, and give Xin Limi some help as the governor of the Western Regions. Otherwise, the situation would be bad if a war broke out. It's hard for Sony to win.

Xinlimi was full of worry and panic.

Can Cao Xiu arrive in time?

Will he really make a move?

Does his shot work?

Can it deter the dominant Atami?

He really didn't know, and he didn't dare to be sure, but the matter had come to this point, and there was no other way but to bite the bullet and fight on.

Of course, Xinlimi never expected it. He absolutely never expected that Cao Xiu already knew about this matter, and even participated in it to some extent.

When Cao Xiu saw the envoy sent by Xinlimi's side to ask for help in Gancheng, it was the time when the elders of the clan were arguing with Atami in order to buy time before Xinlimi and Atami started a full-scale war.

"Is Da Kunmi in danger?"

Cao Xiu pretended to be surprised and looked at the messenger: "How did this happen? What happened? Why didn't I hear anything?"

The rescue messenger was so anxious that he didn't even drink his saliva, and told Cao Xiu the whole story in a hoarse voice.

By the way, Zhao Yan and Ma Yuan, who were beside Cao Xiu, also listened to it and learned how the people of Wusun viewed this matter, so as to make arrangements and preparations for the next step.

The result made them want to laugh so much.

Feeling Wusun people are really following the plan set by Ma Yuan.

Why did the two sides send envoys to Luoyang to each other to hold each other back, Atami sent people to intercept and kill Xinlimi's team in order to stop Xinlimi's team, but because of insufficient manpower, Xinlimi countered and killed them.

If there were fewer people in the Xinlimi faction, Cao Xiu and Ma Yuan probably wouldn't be able to lead the team to intercept the Xinlimi envoys, and they would be able to kill each other by themselves.

But none of this matters.

Because the two sides did not suspect that there were external forces involved in this inexplicable crisis, or that no one had the leisure to find out the ins and outs of this matter and find the truth.

It was too late, the long-standing grievances between the two sides had already caused them to fight.

Now the two sides are preparing for a decisive battle, and Xinlimi's military strength is obviously weaker than that of Atami. Once there is a real fight, Xinlimi is likely to be completely annexed by Atami.

People in the Da Kunmi regime have a deep understanding and awareness of this, knowing how much they have, and decisively ask for help.

"Is Shangguo willing to watch big Kunmi being annexed by thieves like Atami like this? Big Kunmi is devoted to Wei, and little Kunmi Atami is extremely ambitious and has evil intentions!"

The envoy for help burst into tears, kneeling in front of Cao Xiu and begging for Cao Xiu's help: "If Shangguo sends troops to help and save Da Kunmi from fire and water, Da Kunmi will be deeply moved. In the future, he will follow Shangguo's will in everything and never contradict it." !"

They asked Cao Xiu to use the power of the Protector of the Western Regions to order Atami to stop fighting, stop his ambitions, and save Xinli's precarious regime.

If Atami defeats Xinlimi and unifies Wusun, Atami will inevitably grow bigger, and will become the biggest obstacle for the Wei Empire in the Western Regions. It will be against the Wei Empire in everything. Is that what the Wei Empire wants to see? of?

Cao Xiu was greatly moved, and immediately bent down to help the messenger.

"You are right, I will send someone back with you immediately, order Atami to stop fighting, and help both of you to settle the matter. Since you are all my vassal states, it is impossible for me, Wei, to turn a blind eye to you. This matter I have to take care of it!"

Cao Xiu's face was filled with justice: "Captain Ma."

"The end is here!"

Ma Yuan's current official status is an officer in the Protectorate of the Western Regions, belonging to Cao Xiu's subordinates.

"I ordered you to lead a team to Wusun to mediate this matter with the envoys. Wusun's younger brother, Kunmi, and Kunmi are absolutely not allowed to fight each other and fight each other, so as to maintain peace in the Western Regions. This is the mission of the Protectorate of the Western Regions!"

"The last general takes orders!"

Ma Yuan accepted the order with certainty, and was upright.

Then under the arrangement of Cao Xiu, Ma Yuan took a cavalry to Wusun to mediate the matter with the envoy for help, and by the way, he also brought a business team from Wei State who was resting in the city.

Cao Xiu assigned this business team to go to Wusun for business to bring some food and water for Ma Yuan and others, and they had to bring it themselves if they saved it.

In exchange, let Ma Yuan lead a team to protect the caravan.

This caravan came from Jizhou, and its origin can be traced back to a certain powerful official of a certain department in the Shangshutai of the central court.

This kind of thing is really normal in the Western Regions.

It's just that the caravan's luck is not very good.

Because the powerful official behind it once discussed Guo's policies on the table, he was hated by Guo and classified as a political enemy, ready to attack at any time.

On the way out, Ma Yuan asked the leader of the caravan specifically.

"There is a war going on in Wusun, you go now, aren't you afraid of being implicated?"

"My Wei reputation spread far and wide to all the countries in the Western Regions. As long as we are Wei people, how dare the people of Wusun attack us? And even though it is a war, there is also a crisis.

In a crisis, there is a crisis, and there is an opportunity. If you are timid, don't think about doing business. Now, take advantage of the opportunity they need and make a fortune. This is the way to do business. "

The leader showed off his decision to Ma Yuan with a smile on his face.

"is it?"

Ma Yuan smiled.

He really appreciates the courage of these people to make money.

Five days later, when the mediation between Wusun and Kunmi failed completely, and the two sides began to fight, Cao Xiu got a very "shocking" news.

"What?! Our people were killed?!"

Seeing Ma Yuan, who was very "wretched", running back with a few more "wretched" soldiers, Cao Xiu was immediately "annoyed".

Soon, Cao Xiuli understood the "ins and outs" of this matter and announced it to the public.

He said that Wusun Xiaokunmi Ata was tyrannical and innocent. He not only rejected the mediation of the Wei Empire, but also killed 37 people from the Wei Empire's merchant brigade. .

Not only did he not accept mediation, but he actually killed people? !

Such bloody and deep hatred, if you don't take an oath, you won't be a human being!

Kunmi Atami, the youngest of the Wusun Kingdom, has been the enemy of the Wei Empire since then. He is a rebel and must be killed!

Cao Xiu's anger represented the anger of the Wei Empire. Cao Xiu immediately used the power entrusted to him by Emperor Wei to request the remaining four garrison points of the Wei Empire stationed in the Western Regions to provide troops to gather in other cities.

Then, as the protector of the Western Regions, he ordered Qiuci, Yanqi, Gumo, Wensu, Weixu, Qimi, Cheshi and other seven countries in the north of the mountain to send troops and horses to attack the small Kunmia of the Wusun country. Ta Mi, capture him.

He wants to formally form the Allied Army of the Western Regions to wipe out Xiao Kunmi's territory and make him pay for his "evil deeds".

chapter 1038 one thousand and forty-eight

According to Cao Xiu's order, the scale of troops sent by each country needs to be regulated according to the population and military strength of each country.

Cao Xiu ordered that a big country should give a big head, and a small country should give a small head.

The Protectorate of the Western Regions assigns tasks to each country according to the population and number of troops reported by each country, with a total of 5 troops.

The armies of Weixu State, Qimi State, Yanqi State, and Cheshi's Front and Front Divisions do not need to gather in Gancheng.

Cao Xiu will appoint Shi Zhao Yan, the chief of the Western Regions, to lead the troops of the four countries to attack Atami from the east. The soldiers and horses of the four countries total 2 people.

The remaining soldiers and horses from Gumo, Wensu, and Qiuci, as well as Cao Xiu's troops will gather in Gancheng, led by Cao Xiu himself, and attack Atami on the north road.

Each country prepares its own food, fodder and military supplies, and if it is spent, it will be rewarded and rewarded by Cao Xiu after the victory.

After that, Cao Xiu sent his staff to various countries to urge them to send troops.

Those who do not send troops will be regarded as rebellious, and will be struck by the thunder of the Wei Empire together with little Kunmi Atami, and will not be tolerated!

The Wei Empire would never allow rebels to survive on the land of the Western Regions, and challenged the new order of the Western Regions that the Wei Empire had just established.

This is never allowed!

This time Cao Xiu is really "angry", and will never let little Kunmi Atami continue to live, he will kill him!

Cao Xiu's order to dispatch troops quickly spread along the Silk Road to the countries of the Western Regions, which caused a shock in the countries of the Western Regions on the Shanbei Road.

The shaking first started from the country of Kucha, and then everyone shook together, and the shaking continued.

Anyway, they never expected that in the second year after the Wei Empire returned to the Western Regions, someone would attack the people of the Wei Empire in a daze.

And also killed people.

He also killed many Wei people.

This is equivalent to a slap in the face of the Wei Empire.

For this kind of thing, it would be really strange if the Wei Empire swallowed its anger and did not respond.

But this time the reaction was really big.

Cao Xiu didn't do anything, and actually directly summoned the soldiers and horses of the seven kingdoms in the north of the mountain and the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, and gathered 5 people to crusade against Xiao Kunmi Atami.

Atami had a bad luck this time.

With the arrival and urging of the envoys of the Wei Empire one after another, the kings of all countries did not dare to slack off. Knowing that the Wei Empire was rich and powerful, no one dared to disobey Cao Xiu's order, for fear of disobeying Cao Xiu's order and being punished by Cao Xiu.

The King of Kucha was led by Cao Xiu personally to prepare troops and prepare food and fodder to attack northward. He didn't even have a chance to shirk and evade, so Cao Xiu forced him to act immediately.

Taking so many benefits from me, Wei, still want to do something?hurry up!

For the first time, Cao Xiu's strength and ability were shown in the Western Regions.

Anyway, the King of Kucha didn't dare to shirk and shirk, and honestly ordered troops according to Cao Xiu's request.

Before the Wei Empire did not have the need to send troops in the Western Regions, what the countries saw was the powerful military equipment and strong financial resources of the Wei Empire, from which they inferred the strength of the Heavenly Kingdom.

But when it comes to Wei Jun's real battle, they really haven't seen it before.

While responding to Cao Xiu's order, these countries may not have no intention of observing the fighting power of the Wei army.

They want to see whether the Wei Empire has a strong combat power that matches its financial resources, so that they can adjust some countermeasures against the Wei State.

This incident happened in the middle and late July of the fourth year of Yande.

By the first ten days of August, under the order of Cao Xiu, all the seven countries in the north of the mountain had begun to mobilize even if they were reluctant.

Otherwise, what Cao Xiu said about attacking them was really not a lie.

In Dunhuang County, Cao Ren, the Zhenxi general who is higher than Cao Xiu, is commanding tens of thousands of Wei troops to garrison. If they are not strong enough, once Cao Ren's army is dispatched, the situation will not be so simple.

The matter has come to this point, it is meaningless to say more, the seven countries in the north of the mountain mobilized urgently, and under Wei Tianzi's vassal state system, they fulfilled their obligations as a vassal state for the first time.

They will form a joint army of the Western Regions, launch a strong attack on the "rebellious" Atami, and wipe out Atami, in order to maintain the majesty of the Wei Empire and the new order of the Western Regions that the Wei Empire has just established.

On the other side, Atami fell into deep confusion and fear.

It didn't take long for him to know the news. Around the end of July and the beginning of August, he learned that Cao Xiu called on the seven kingdoms in the north of the mountain to send troops to attack him.

He was dumbfounded and didn't know why.
