Chapter 1158(1/2)
Ran Liang's pacification of the Xifu Kingdom had already expanded to the limit of his population.
If there is not enough population, or enough "national" population, it will be a very dangerous situation to expand.
Han people, who originally had a small number of people, will inevitably be diluted as their territory expands.
It won't take long, and soon there will be a danger of reverse assimilation by the Hu people in the Western Regions, which are dominant in numbers.
Therefore, Ran Liang was already planning to maintain his current territory and first develop his national strength and accumulate population.
However, some of Ran Liang's ideas can only be their own wishful thinking.
He didn't know that he was about to face the more intense anger and revenge of the Barthic Empire.
The capital of the Barthe Empire, Firuzabad City.
As a powerful empire, the city of Firuzabad has a prosperous and large scale that matches the empire.
Since Ardashir II, the king of the Barhe Empire, was defeated and captured by the Orientals not long ago, the Barhe nobles in the entire city of Firuzabad have never stopped their idea of revenge on the Orientals.
However, at that time, the throne of the Barr Hei Empire was vacant. According to the customs of the Barr Hei Empire, all members of the royal family had to first show off their swords and guns to decide on the new monarch.
Finally, after more than a year of fighting, the new Barrhei monarch ascended the throne.
"Transfer my order to send all the taxes for this year to the Eastern border for spare. If you think of the Armenians, Kurds, Bedouin, Jews, Hekantans, and Sogdians in China to collect double the cap tax, and to mobilize 200,000 vassals, I will lead the heroic Balhei warriors to regain the East of the Empire."
In the gorgeous Barrhei Palace, the new king Huo Silao is mobilizing orders to his prime minister and generals.
This mobilization order will then be sent to the governors from all over the country under the teleportation of the King's messenger.
Then there was a steady stream of military supplies and soldiers leading into the East, and then fired a revenge war to those Easterners.
"Your Majesty, the Sogdians, the Huns, and the Hualazimians in the East have betrayed us. If we attacked, should we please win them back to our camp first?"
The prime minister of Barr Hei King Huo Silao suggested.
"What we say makes sense, especially the Huns have already plundered the Hualazimu area, and there is no way to rob it. If we can lure them to attack the Easterners, we can share all the seized wealth to them. I only have the land and the enemy's heads."
Huo Silao said generously.
In recent years, with repeated aid from the Han army in the Western Regions, the Huns entrenched on the eastern coast of the Caspian Sea have quickly become stronger.
Especially under the leadership of the Hunter leader Yin Diela, he frequently attacked the borders of the Barhe Empire and completely turned the Hulazimu area into a Huns' horse-herding land.
However, these Huns were barbaric and backward, and apart from burning, killing, looting, they soon had no source of wealth. The Bar Hei Empire believed that as long as they could give a generous price, it was not difficult for the Huns to counterattack the Easterners.
After all, the entire Bark Hei Empire is now rumored that the territory of the Oriental people is filled with shining wealth.
Honey and jam flowing all over the land of the Oriental people, and the warehouses are filled with gorgeous silk and exquisite porcelain. It is too simple to let the greedy Huns plunder.
"Your Majesty, to deal with these Eastern people, we not only need to fight for the barbarian tribes of the Huns, but also seek more powerful civilized countries, such as the Gupta dynasty or the Kushans."
The prime minister of the Barhe Empire made his own suggestions again.
"But, I heard that the Gupta dynasty has been invaded by many Oriental people now, so I'm afraid I can't help much."
Barr Black King Huo Silao raised his own doubts.
In recent times, there have been constant news about the sudden invasion of two oriental people from the Gupta dynasty in the Indian continent.
Barr Black King Huo Silao naturally knew that it would be impossible to get the Gupta dynasty to help him.
"Your Majesty, although the Gupta dynasty also invaded the Orientals, I heard that there are constant conflicts between these Orientals."
Prime Minister Barhe continued.
"For example, these Eastern people who encroached our territory were known as the White Huns and were the direct forces of the Han Dynasty. The Xianbei people who invaded the northwest of the Barhe Dynasty were alternatives among the Eastern people and were enemies of the White Huns for generations."
"If we can get these Xianbei people from the Gupta dynasty to join us, we can increase our chances of winning."
When His Majesty Huo Silao heard this, he immediately became energetic.
After understanding the points, I immediately sent someone to contact the Xianbei people in the territory of the Gupta Dynasty in time.
On the plains on the banks of the Tianzhu River, a group of war horses roared and galloped.
"drive!"
Horses galloped past the desert, rolling up the yellow sand and dust in the sky.
A team of Xianbei cavalry rushed towards the Central Army in front of Tufamuken.
"Your Majesty, a rebel army was found in front of you!"
Seeing this, Tufa Muken asked immediately.
"How many soldiers do the thieves have?"
"There are almost a few thousand men."
"How many thousand is it?" Bald Muken showed a slightly angry look.
Such unclear rewards are needed to eat military sticks in the standard Daliang army.
However, these Xianbei people often have poor mathematical abilities and are already in chaos when counting thousands.
"There are almost seven or eight thousand people!" said the scout general carefully.
In fact, because the wind and sand were too strong, he didn't check it clearly, so he hurried back to report.
"In this way, the rebels here are still a bit brave and dare to go out of the city to fight!"
Tufa Muken smiled slightly and ordered people to prepare their long swords, bows and arrows. He wanted to take the battle to cut melons and vegetables in person.
"Wei Yan Tuocheng."
Tufa Muken muttered this name gently, then turned to look at the Indian monk next to him and asked.
"What does this Wei Yan Tuocheng mean in your Indian language?"
The monk from India hurriedly replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, there are rivers here in Weirantuo, and the land is very fertile, and it produces wheat and fruits. In the dialect of India, it is a city full of wheat!"
"A city full of wheat? A city of wheat? A city of wheat?"
The more Tufa Muken thought about this name, the more he felt a little uncomfortable.
After thinking about it again, I became a little bored.
"This name is not good, Gu doesn't like it very much. When the traitor is put down, he will definitely change his name here again!"
"My sons, there are military achievements ahead, follow me to kill the enemy!"
Tufa Muken held up his Qinglong sword and pointed it forward with force, which immediately ignited the enthusiasm of the Xianbei army.
"Kill the thief, military merit!"
"Kill the thief, military merit!"
The soldiers of the Daliang Tufa clan immediately shouted loudly, and even some of the new troops waiting for the Indians were infected and cheered.
Although Wei Yantuocheng is a powerful city-state nearby, it also has vast city wall defense.
However, under the attack of the Xianbei army led by Tufamuken himself, he completely knelt down within a few days.
"Dignity Conqueror, from then on, our Wei Yan Tuocheng will be your loyal slave."
A big belly, Indian man was tied up with his hands and fell to his knees in front of Tufa Muken.
Listening to the words of the Indian people, Tufa Muken was very dissatisfied.
"You Hu people in the Heavenly Kingdom, not only do not cherish my tolerance for you, but also rebelled and rebelled again and again. Even if you say humble words today, I will not give you another chance."
It turned out that since the Tufa Xianbei occupied the Tianzhu River area and concluded peace with the Gupta dynasty, the rebellion of the large and small states in its territory has never stopped.
The number of Tufa Xianbei people is originally small and they have no ability to completely control all regions.
Under the endless rebellions, Tufamuken had to lead his army to fight again and again.
However, these native Indians who had no loyalty at all surrendered after the army came and rebelled repeatedly after leaving.
Among them, the Tuo City of Wei Yan Tuocheng became the leader of the rebellion of the Indians.
The Wei Yan Tuocheng, which Tufa Muken now captured, has made up his mind to massacre the city!
Only by massacre of the city can the natives of India really understand Tufa Xianbei. Oh no, it should be the mighty means of the Daliang Kingdom.
Now Tufa Muken has long established himself as King Liang to show his foundation for his ancestors.
"King, do you really want to massacre the city?"
The Xianbei generals around were already eager to try.
Although Tufa Muken is young, he is very calm and not the kind of person who loves to kill.
There has never been a case of massacre of the city.
However, this time, Tufa Muken had already made up his mind.
"I will order the city to be massacred for three days, and no one will be left except for the women and children under five feet!"
Tufa Muken looked at Wei Yan Tuocheng again, and gritted his teeth and gave the final order.
"Master Yingming, I'll go here!"
A group of Xianbei generals ran happily to prepare for the massacre of the city.
