Congling, towering mountains, snow-covered mountains, biting cold wind.

　　 The banners of the Han army shattered, hunting and hunting in the cold wind, the remnants of the Han army with less than 50,000 soldiers marched among the high mountains and snowy mountains, and soldiers fell from the mountain road into the bottomless cliff from time to time.

　　 The protective generals of the Western Regions Chao led the horse, marching on the narrow mountain road, exhaling white breath from time to time.

　　 Wusun Wang's double temples were white, and snow fell on his animal skin hat.

　　 Wusun country cavalry was downcast.

　　 There was no marching general Gao Xianzhi to lead the troops. The Han army suffered heavy losses when crossing Congling.

　　 The Han army lost in Dawan, the remnants of Ban Chao had to enter the Pamirs and return to Luntai City in the Western Regions.

When the Han Empire's unification war was the most tragic, generals such as Yelv Dashi, Batu, and Shibi Khan attacked Dawan. They used 100,000 Mongolian cavalry, 150,000 Turkic cavalry, 400,000 Guishuang soldiers, and conscripted another 150,000. Indian Mughal soldiers, totaling 800,000.

　　 The population of Dawan is only 2 million. It is hard to say whether there are 800,000 young people or not, and it is completely fallen.

　　 Prince Yan and Di Qing originally led 50,000 Mongolian cavalry to support Guishan City, but the 50,000 troops were in vain in the face of the ever-increasing military strength of Yelv Dashi.

　　 Guishan City was besieged by Batu, and Dawan’s teleportation formation was cut off. When Chutian finally cleaned up Liu Bei and Tongque, he could no longer send reinforcements to Dawan.

　　 At this time, there are only two ways to send troops to Dawan. One way is to start from Yili and enter the Saierzhu Empire, and the other way is to start from Luntai City and cross Congling.

　　 Both roads are too late.

　　 Yelu Dashi's troops are still increasing.

　　Wo Kuotai ruled Central Asia with a small population but an alarming proportion of nomadic cavalry, and the populous South Asian subcontinent. They fully supported Yelu Dashi to win the chess pieces deployed by the Western Regions Protectorate in Central Asia, and continued to send reinforcements to Yelu Dashi.

　　 Ban Chao, Chen Tang, Prince Yan, and Di Qing had no aid outside, so they had to abandon Guishan City and return to Luntai.

　　 Batu and Shibi Khan tried their best to prevent Ban Chao and others from returning to the Han Empire, in an attempt to wipe out the soldiers and horses of the Western Regions in Dawan.

　　 However, Ban Chao still teamed up with Prince Yan, Di Qing, Chen Tang, and King Wusun to break through the 600,000 army of Batu and Shibi Khan and enter the mountain roads of the Pamirs.

　　The battle in the cold winter was extremely tragic. In the end, there were less than 50,000 Han and Wusun cavalry soldiers in Guishan City.

　　 The prince Yan, holding a wooden staff, walked on the edge of a cliff that could only accommodate one person, and if he was not careful, he would be broken.

　　Prince Yan looked around the Han army that stretched for hundreds of miles back and forth? 　Taste the defeat? 　 sighed from time to time.

　　There may be a gap between the famous generals, but it’s not a good thing to pull the capital? 　With 600,000 soldiers? 　Besiege Guishan City, Prince Yan is not an opponent.

　　 The most fundamental problem is that Dawan is too far away from the hinterland of the Han Empire.

　　 Yelu Dashi can get reinforcements as soon as possible? 　 Once the teleportation array of Dawan country fails, it is difficult for the Han Empire to support Dawan country.

　　"During the Great Tang Dynasty? 　Anxi Duhu Fu lost control of Central Asia? 　It was mostly because Central Asia was too far away from Chang'an and was blocked by the Pamirs and Tianshan Mountains..."

　　 Prince Yan is deeply aware of the influence of terrain on the progress of civilization.

The existence of the Tianshan Mountains, Altai Mountains, and Pamirs blocked the exchanges between China and the western civilizations. The Alexander Expedition and the Great Arab Conquest? 　Generally arrived in the Tianshan Mountains? 　 Stopped abruptly. China did not desire to march west. The Han and Tang dynasties faced Central Asia. Has limited control.

　　 The existence of the Silk Road allowed ancient China to communicate with Central Asia, West Asia, and the West, but the scale was not large after all.

　　In "Lord"? 　Huo An, represented by the Western Regions Protectorate, captured Dawan twice in a row, and lost control of Dawan twice in a row? 　It can be seen that the influence of terrain is still not small.

　　 "Dawan is defeated, so we can only attack Central Asia from Ili..."

　　Prince Yan doesn’t know what Chutian thinks?　He probably guessed that Chutian’s ambition is not just to unify the Han Empire? 　Sooner or later there will be a battle with Wo Kuotai, which is dominating Central Asia.

　　The fall of Dawan? 　Ili River Valley is left? 　Connecting to Central Asia.

　　 Therefore, Chutian’s strategy of marching into Central Asia has not completely gone bankrupt.

　　 The Yili River Valley is the hometown of Wusun State. The Western Regions Protectorate's control over the Ili River Valley far exceeds that of Dawan State.

　　 "That's not right... Maybe if Yelv Dashi takes over the Kingdom of Dawan, hundreds of thousands of troops will attack the Ili River Valley..."

　　 Prince Yan thought of a possibility.

　　 Yelu Dashi and Batu tried their best to attack Dawan, aiming to take Dawan and prevent the Central Plains army from being sent to Central Asia.

　　 The Ili River Valley is also a threat to the Central Asian forces. It cannot be ruled out that Yelv Dashi will attack the Ili River Valley in a large scale.

　　 In the northern part of the Kingdom of Dawan, because Guishan City, the Second Division City and other important cities of Dawan City fell successively, Huo Qubing became a lone army and was besieged by Yelv Dashi, Batu and others.

　　Huo Qubing simply commanded the cavalry to invade the territory of the Selzhu Empire and fled from the north to Ili, which was different from the direction of Ban Chao's retreat.

Yelu Dashi mobilized the cavalry of the Saierzhu Empire to besiege Huo Qubing. Huo Qubing relied on the characteristics of "seal the wolf to live in Xu" (cavalry attribute +10%, damage to foreign race +25%, foreign race morale decline +25%, and the probability of falling into fear increased; Cavalry marching speed +10%, speed +15% when forcibly marching; marching in grasslands, Gobi, desert, mountains and other terrains, morale is not easy to decline, non-combat attrition decreases; after winning, morale recovery speed +25%), for thousands of miles, Continuously break through the blockade of Yelu Dashi and fought in the Selju Empire.

　　 In the Gukou Fortress in the Ili River Valley, a group of Han cavalry patrolled. The snow was heavy and the snow was more than a foot deep.

　　 Suddenly, the Lieutenant of the Han Army saw a black line on the horizon, and then there were cavalry all over the mountains.

　　 "Notify the general that an unknown cavalry appeared, the number is about tens of thousands...!"

"Yes!"

　　 The cavalry of the Han army in the Ili River Valley watched cautiously as the cavalry entering the country of Dawan got closer and closer, panicking.

　　 "It is the banner of our Western Regions Protectorate!"

　　The cavalry of the Han army quickly discovered that a large number of cavalry appeared, not the nomadic cavalry from Central Asia, but the soldiers and horses of the Western Regions.

　　 "Don't take it lightly, maybe it's the disguise of the nomad cavalry in Central Asia."

　　The cavalry squad of the Han Army kept on guard until Huo Qubing appeared with his broken armor.

　　Huo Qubing stubbornly broke through under the siege of hundreds of thousands of troops from Yelu Dashi, bypassed the Tianshan Mountains, and retreated to Yili.

　　 However, Huo Qubing was also badly wounded. He was seriously injured. There were tens of thousands of cavalry, and there were only 10,000 left.

　　 "General Huo, how did you come back from the Seljuk Empire?!"

　　 The Captain of the Han Army discovered that it was Huo Qubing, the first general of the Protector House of the Western Regions.

　　 To the west of the Yili River Valley is the territory of the Saierzhu Empire. Huo Qubing marched for more than a thousand miles and withdrew from Dawan to Yili, causing the Yili defenders to be surprised.

　　 "Dawan country has been breached, strengthen the defense against the Ili River Valley."

　　 Huo Qubing said concisely and entered Yili for replenishment.

　　The garrison of the Western Regions Protectorate in the Ili River Valley learned that Dawan had been captured by the Yelu Dashi with an army of 800,000.

　　Huo Qubing's more than 10,000 cavalry rested, their physical strength and morale recovered.

　　Huo Qubing's cavalry, because of the day-to-day battles, on average, each cavalry has less than three arrows left.

　　 Dawan, Guishan city, the capital of the Golden Horde, and the Turks, called the nobles of Dawan.

　　The King of Dawan supported by Huo An was captured.

　　 All the nobles of the Great Wan State shivered when facing the sabers of the Mongolian and Turkic cavalry.

　　Dawan is comparable to the buses in Central Asia. Any powerful civilization can conquer Dawan.

　　 The nobles of the Dawan country also don't remember how many times they have been conquered.

　　 It is Batu, the nephew of Wo Kuotai who is now in charge of Guishan City.

　　Sibi Khan said to Batu: "This person is Huo An's confidant and is kind to the Han court. If he is not beheaded, he will become a disaster in the future."

　　 "Come on, drag him down, five horses to divide the body."

　　 Batu ruthlessly ordered the execution of the king of Dawan Kingdom, Mei Cai, and then supported a new king to come to power.

　　The Dawan nobleman, who was chosen by Batu as the new king, was sealed by cicadas.

　　 The king of Dawan is not that good.

　　 Every time the Kingdom of Dawan was conquered, the king could not escape being killed, and the death rate was extremely high.

　　 This king is just a puppet. In front of Batu, Sibi Khan and others, the King of Dawan needs to bow down and walk on thin ice.

　　 Moreover, once the Han Empire captured Dawan for the third time, Cicada Feng could not escape being killed.

　　 The nobles of other Dawan countries secretly thanked that they did not become kings.

　　 The cicada said to Batu tremblingly: "You cannot become a king without virtue and incompetence."

　　Badu winked a wink~lightnovelpub.net~Bieerge, Badu’s younger brother, pulled out his saber and put it on Chan Feng’s neck: "You have no choice."

　　 The cicada was sweating profusely, and finally had to say: "Thank you, sweat."

　　Pal capital entered Guishan City, turning Dawan into his own fief, and the captive population was rewarded to his ministers to win people's hearts.

　　 Although the Golden Horde was destroyed by Chutian and Ekaterina, Temujin's son Shuchi died in battle, but Badu took part of the remnant generals and took refuge in Wo Kuotai.

　　 The news of the fall of Dawan Kingdom spread to the Han Empire. At this time, Chu Tian was in Xiacheng, preparing to usurp the throne.

　　The princes of the Han Empire returned, and Chu Tian believed that there was no need to maintain the Han court.

　　The veteran ministers of the Han Dynasty lived to the present, and there was not much left. Huang Fusong died in battle, Lu Zhi passed away, Zhu Jun lived in seclusion, and Wang Yun was killed. There was almost no obstacle to Chu Tian's usurpation.

Although 　　 Xun Yu and others are still inclined to the Han Dynasty, other dynasties, civil servants and generals have a great say, and Xun Yu can only accept his fate.

　　 Everything will come naturally.

　　 Chutian summoned the returned princes to Xiacheng. One of the important purposes was to proclaim the emperor, build a new empire, and launch an expedition.

　　 This new empire is not only the 13 prefectures of the Han Dynasty and the Western Regions, but the 13 prefectures, plus the Western Regions, Monan, Mobei, Liaodong, Gaoli, and Tubo, and the six major prefectures.

　　 Duhu Fu is at the same level as the state, and the new empire territory is equivalent to having nineteen states, which is not the limit of the empire.
