The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo

Chapter 531 Volume I will not return until I have conquered Dayuan!
"attack!"

When Yitian comes out, who can compete with him?

Seeing Cao Cao giving orders, Cao Ren led the way and rushed towards the wall of Zhenzhong City!

"The Han army is attacking the city!"

When King Hede of Shule and General Zuo of Wusun heard the news, they were not surprised but happy!

"It must be that the Han army is running low on food and grass, so Cao Mengde is eager to attack the city!"

"Defend the city! Don't be afraid of him!"

In Zhenzhong City, it's as stable as a rock!
As long as the Han army is exhausted, it will be the time for Shule to dominate the Western Regions!
After all, Wusun's left general had suffered a loss at the hands of Cao Cao, so he went to the city wall specifically to observe the Han army's siege.

The Han army looked extremely embarrassed under the defense of the Shule soldiers in Zhenzhong City.

Many soldiers held large shields and wooden boards and carefully crossed the moat of Zhenzhong City. They completely lacked the courage and spirit that they should have in an attack!
The left general of Wusun immediately laughed loudly on the city wall as a mockery.

Cao Ren glanced up and reassured his soldiers: "Everyone be careful!"

"Don't be careful of the arrows above! Be careful under the city wall!"

"Here!"

When Wusun's left general saw that the Han army not only did not build defenses above, but instead piled up a large number of shields in front, he sneered again -

"When attacking a city, they don't know how to protect their heads, but instead protect their front like they do when fighting on the plains. This shows how ignorant the Han people are!"

The left general of Wusun looked down upon the Han army in front of him, and even sneered at the Han people from the East.

"The Han Dynasty today is far inferior to the Han Dynasty before Emperor Gaozu and the Han Dynasty after Emperor Guangwu's Restoration!"

Some inappropriate thoughts even popped up in the mind of Wusun Zuo General.

If the Han Dynasty is weak, will Wusun have a chance to return to the south of the desert?

After returning to the south of the desert, will there be a chance to unify the grassland?

After unifying the grasslands, is there a chance... to emulate the Xiongnu of the past and compete with the Han Dynasty! To rule the Central Plains!
When he thought that the rich Central Plains might tremble under the powerful iron hoof of Wusun in the future, the left general of Wusun couldn't help laughing out loud.

"what!"

"boom!"

But a louder voice was heard, completely covering up the voice of Wusun Zuo General, and at the same time tearing his fantasy into pieces!

"What happened? Why is it so sudden?"

Wusun's left general looked up at the sky and saw that it was cloudless, which made him even more confused.

"Is it an earthquake?"

Just now, all the soldiers in Zhenzhong City clearly felt that the ground beneath their feet was shaking violently!
Wusun's left general looked back in horror, but when he saw that the buildings in the city had not collapsed and no cracks appeared on the ground, his experience decisively helped him to rule out this wrong judgment.

"what is that?"

If it wasn't a punishment from heaven or a rumbling sound from the earth, then what else could have made such a deafening noise?

Fortunately, the doubts did not last long!

Soon, a Wusun soldier came to General Zuo's side and reported in horror:

"General! It was the Han army that made the noise! ​​It was the Han army! The city wall collapsed!"

The left general of Wusun was about to scold the other party for his incoherent speech.

But soon, he saw an extremely horrifying scene.

The soldier who had just reported military intelligence to him had blood flowing out of his ears, nose, and even eyes!

It was obvious that many parts of this person's body had been shattered!
He was even more shaky. After reporting the military situation to General Zuo, he felt dizzy and fell to the ground!
Wusun's left general immediately climbed up the city wall and looked down.

Upon seeing this, I was shocked at first, and then I was filled with fear in my bones!!

The city wall collapsed!
A section of the Zhenzhong City wall, which was so proud of by King Hede of Shule, has collapsed into a pile of ruins!
And countless Han troops were pouring in from the ruins!

Zhenzhong City...is it just broken?

Don't say that Wusun Zuo General refused to believe it.

Even among the Han troops outside the city, many soldiers were unwilling to believe it.

Xu Shu looked at the collapsed section of the city wall in confusion, and then excitedly grabbed Guo Jia's neck: "Gunpowder? You call that gunpowder?"

"Your Majesty summoned the alchemists to make it using the method of reducing fire with sulfur. If it's not medicine, what else can it be called?"

Guo Jia looked at Xu Shu and others with satisfaction!

after all……

When the Xiangping City was destroyed in Liaodong, Cao Cao's reaction was similar to Xu Shu's...

The emergence of gunpowder will undoubtedly completely change the course of future wars!

Ma Chao and Fa Zheng also woke up after a brief period of confusion and astonishment.

"What has become of the Han people today?"

I remember back then, when the emperor ascended the throne and the Grand Tutor was in power, the people of the Han Dynasty still couldn't even get enough food to eat and were still suffering from the ravages of war...

But now, not only can they send 10,000 soldiers to the Western Regions, but they can also send matching supplies, including fried noodles, malt sugar, iron pots... and even develop this kind of weapon for breaking into cities?
The Han people are carrying out a great revival at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Meng Da was holding a spear in his hand, looking a little confused at this moment.

The Zhenzhong City... was broken just like that? The Zhenzhong City that had resisted his father for more than 40 days was broken just like that?
Then what is the point of all my preparations over the years?
What was the reason for my previous passion?
……

In Meng Da's imagination, the Han army would be unable to capture the city after a long siege, and he would lead the soldiers to charge onto the city wall and fight bloody battles, using his own life to open the door to victory for the Han Dynasty...

result……

That's it?

Even several Han envoys were like this, and the rest of the envoys from the Western Regions were in complete chaos!
Some people knelt down and worshipped Zhenzhong City, thinking that it was a manifestation of the gods.

Some people looked at the Han people around them with fear, thinking that they had magical powers.

But with this earth-shattering roar, all the Western Regions envoys knew—

The sky in the Western Region is about to change!
Today, the Han Dynasty’s control over the Western Regions is bound to surpass that of the early and later Han dynasties!

In the future in the Western Regions, no voice questioning the Han Dynasty will be allowed!

……

The King of Shule Hede in Zhenzhong City also heard the loud noise.

Just as he was about to go out to check, he saw Wusun General Zuo running towards him like crazy: "Hurry up! The Han army has the help of the gods! Has Zhenzhong City been breached?"

The city is broken?
He De hasn't reacted yet and doesn't know why the other party said such vicious words!
How could Zhenzhong City be breached?

But when the red flag of the Han army appeared in front of He De, even though he didn't believe it, he had to respect the facts.

"Withdraw! Withdraw!"

He De rode on the Ferghana horse given by the King of Dayuan and immediately fled from the west of the city, heading back to Shule City, the royal capital of Shule!

Cao Ren led his troops into Zhenzhong City, but saw that the King of Shule, Hede, and the Left General of Wusun were missing, so he immediately ordered Cao Chun to lead the cavalry to pursue them.

But Cao Chun soon returned empty-handed, and was also a little depressed.

"That Ferghana horse from Dayuan runs too fast! There's no way to catch up! I guess only Meng De's claw Huang Feidian can catch up!"

Cao Ren had no choice but to report to Cao Cao, but Cao Cao was not anxious at all.

"Organize the troops! Head to Shule City immediately and pursue Hede!"

"Since Dayuan's Ferghana horses are fast, we will completely wipe out Dayuan this time!"

The Han soldiers had been resting for such a long time, and attacking Zhenzhong City did not take up too much energy, so Xiahou Yuan immediately led two thousand people to pursue, not giving Shule any chance to breathe!

Cao Cao himself stayed in Zhenzhong City.

The gold and valuables in the city were divided equally.

Fifty percent was given to the soldiers, and the other fifty percent was given to the Western Regions countries that came to fight.

Zhenzhong City was a city that had been managed by King Hede of Shule for many years. The treasures in it filled three cellars! When the soldiers from Khotan, Shanshan and other countries received the treasures, they were excited but also terrified, thinking that they had not made any contribution and should not receive the reward.

"Today I want to tell you that the Han Dynasty will never do anything to drain the pond to catch all the fish in the future."

"If you follow the big man, you will naturally have meat to eat and money to share, but if you become the enemy of the big man——"

Cao Cao pointed to the wall of Zhenzhong City and said, "You are just like this city!"

The combination of kindness and severity made these Western Regions countries, which were already close to the Han Dynasty, respect the Han Dynasty even more, and they no longer had any other thoughts in their minds.

Some generals in the Western Regions have even made up their minds that they must make their own rulers fully support the Han Dynasty after returning home! It would be best to replace all the heirs of their own countries with people who are close to the Han Dynasty, so as to avoid disasters in the future!

The news that Zhenzhong City was breached by the Han army through divine punishment instantly spread across the Western Regions!
At first, some people did not believe it, but the walls of Zhenzhong City, which Cao Cao had specially ordered to be preserved, made these Western Regions envoys fall silent.

The two countries of Cheshi and Yanqi, which had not sent troops to Cao Cao before, also immediately sent envoys to support the Han Dynasty.

"I said before that I would only give you one month, but you didn't come."

"Now that you see that the Han Dynasty is strong, you want to come and join us. Where in the world can you get such a good thing?"

What Cao Cao said before will never be changed!
Kill the chicken and the monkey!
Those who need to be killed are not only countries like Shule that dare to openly oppose the Han army, but also those countries that have always been indecisive and unsteady in their stance!
The reason why General Li Guangli failed in his expedition against Dayuan was not only due to insufficient supplies, but the most crucial thing was that the Western Regions countries along the way closed their city gates and refused to provide supplies to the Han army!
And now, Cao Cao wants to tell them——

"You are not qualified to remain neutral in front of the big man!"

The envoys from Cheshi and Yanqi looked ashen, but they still wanted to be stubborn in front of Cao Cao and ask for some words of advice.

"Cheshi and Yanqi are also great powers in the Western Regions! Why can't the Han Dynasty treat them with courtesy?"

"Just because we didn't send troops to help us in the war, does that mean that the two great powers have become the enemies of the Han Dynasty?"

"Think carefully! The two countries occupy the main roads in the Western Regions and have a large population! If they become our enemies, the northern road to the Western Regions will definitely be blocked!"

"So please think twice before you act, General Zhengxi! Even if the Han Dynasty is strong, can it destroy our two countries?"

"Oh?"

Cao Cao looked at the envoys from the two countries in surprise, not understanding who gave them the courage to underestimate the Han Dynasty and overestimate themselves.

"Then...why don't we give it a try?"

"Just try it!"

"it is good!"

Cao Cao likes people with guts!
"After I conquer Shule and Dayuan, the next ones will be Cheshi and Yanqi!"
