Chapter 442: The Edge Revealed [Subscription Request]

"Material is not easy to find to make a Qiankun artifact with a hidden space inside."

Jia Xu said: "But a simpler Qiankun bag can be made with only a spell array and a small amount of materials.

However, there is little room for expansion, so I had to make do with quantity and make a few more."

The lining of the robe he opened, or rather the four sides of the entire robe, were all filled with carefully crafted small pockets.

"Wenhe, you didn't just make a few more, you made dozens more."

Cao Cao recalled that before he traveled through time, the vendors selling CDs could put thousands of CDs in their clothes.

Jia Xu is similar.

The highest-ranking elder in the Beggars' Sect is Elder Nine Bags.

Jia Xu is the elder of seventy-nine bags.

Cao Cao reached out and pulled at the small pockets sewn all over his body, and found that they were full of goodies.

Director Jia himself is a defensive fortress.

If we look at it in a broad sense, many of the treasures that emperors of all dynasties brought into their tombs as burial objects are now in Director Jia's possession, restoring their glory and carrying them forward.

Cao Cao looked for a while before turning around.

At this time, the battle in the city was nearing its end. Many people laid down their arms and surrendered, while few people resisted stubbornly.

Wusun's armed forces need to be completely disarmed.

Even if they surrendered, soldiers and generals were still taken to the city walls and beheaded.

A ray of purple light flew out from Cao Cao's ink bag, and it was the imperial seal.

It carries the mountains and rivers of China and the destiny of humanity.

When Cao Cao took out the national seal, he pushed it forward with the emperor's luck.

The rivers and mountains of China appeared in the national seal.

In the air, a huge shadow of the national seal appeared, as big as a mountain.

The clouds in the sky converged and formed eight majestic characters "Received the Mandate from Heaven, May You Live Long and Prosper" on the bottom of the national seal.

Cao Cao's imperial dragon soul is coiled around the national seal.

Rumble!
The imperial seal brought the destiny of China downward, as if stamping the imperial decree from heaven on the borders of Wusun, swallowing up its land to make it China's, and absorbing its national destiny to strengthen China.

Mandated by Heaven!

The land of Wusun seemed to be stamped with the imperial seal, unifying its borders with that of China in terms of destiny.

The seal of luck and fortune, like the power of heaven, pressed down, shaking the veins of Wusun and rippling the mountains and rivers.

When Cao Cao took back the imperial seal, the emperor's real dragon above it turned into a river of purple air and returned to his body.

All the orifices in his body were glowing, and his strength, aura, and the pressure he exuded were all increasing.

Swallowing a country would most directly improve the fortunes of one's own country. Even the purple halo of the imperial seal became thicker.

"Taking over the Wusun land is like having an extra large ranch."

Cao Cao thought: The location of Wusun is the Ili River in the future, and even the area to the north. It just overlaps with the northwest corner of the national border in the future, and is even slightly larger. The tail part of my big rooster map is complete.

Cao Cao descended from the top of the city wall and entered the royal palace in the center of the city.

The palace was also filled with captives.

They are all from the Wusun Wang family.

That night, after initially controlling Chigu City, all the generals came to Cao Cao to report their results.

Dian Wei has returned from chasing the enemy.

But Dao Zun continued to chase.

On the other side, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also pursued the enemy and returned.

"Your Majesty, that Xianbei man was stabbed by our spear."

Zhang Fei blushed and said, "But I didn't keep him."

The Chixiao Sword returned a quarter of an hour earlier than Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but had already been taken back by Cao Cao.

Afu Yu escaped with injuries, as expected.

After all, he is a god-like being revered by the Xianbei people, and his trump cards and personal martial arts are top-notch.

Cao Cao ordered Xu Chu to lead the heavy cavalry overnight, and Zhang Fei and Wei Yan each led their own troops as reinforcements, forming a three-way intersection of troops and horses, and marched westward into Kangju, which was adjacent to Wusun.

Cao Cao's combat intention was to completely control the westward trade route and no longer be constrained by anyone.

Guan Yu and Xiahou Dun each led an army of 5,000 and marched northward to wipe out the various tribes in the Wusun territory.

Most of Wusun's cities were built on the northern side of the Tianshan Mountains, and the main military forces were also in the surrounding areas.

To the north, there are vast grasslands with more than 20,000 border troops distributed along the border.

The entire Wusun nation had about 50,000 soldiers and horses, most of whom were in the southern part centered on the capital.

Guan Yu and Xiahou Dun's plan of deploying troops was to defeat the remnants of the enemy.

Cao Cao stayed in Chigu City and coordinated all parties.

After everyone else had retreated and acted according to orders, Cao Cao sent messages to contact Huang Zhong and Taishi Ci.

The two men's target of action was Kushan.

The bright moon is in the sky.

Huang Zhong led his troops and first arrived at Yuzhai at the southern end of the Western Regions.

Then turn southwest, climb the plateau, and continue westward.

It has been mentioned before that there are three routes out of the Western Regions, and the southernmost one will lead into Kushan.

The border of Kushan was long and narrow, running from north to south.

Therefore, its north-south depth is very long.

It is deep from east to west, but relatively narrow.

Its capital, Fulusha City, is located in the middle of the country.

From Yuzhi in the Western Regions, after descending the plateau, you will be on the east side of the Kushan border. Continuing westward, you will reach its capital, Furusha.

Cao Cao’s order to Huang Zhong was to get to work as soon as he got off the plateau.

The combat mission of Huang Zhong and Taishi Ci is not to seize territory, but to send troops to steal the enemy's home and intimidate the enemy. They fight in the most powerful way possible.

……

The Kushans had four famous generals.

Both are located in the capital city of Flusa.

One was on the western side of its border, guarding the border in order to guard against the neighboring Parthian Empire to the west.

There was another general who had been attacking India from the south. The Kushans often invaded India because of strategic needs.

He bordered on the west with Parthia, but that didn't give him much advantage.

It is adjacent to the east and west regions, but the terrain conditions are not good and it is necessary to cross the plateau to fight there.

Invading India from the south became the best option.

During this period, India's military strength seriously declined after the collapse of the Maurya Empire, which gave the Kushans the opportunity to invade India on a large scale.

In late October, the Kushan ruler Poteo received a report that he had won a great victory in the attack on India to the south, capturing six cities in a row.

He was overjoyed when he heard the news, and personally left Flusa and went south to reward the three armies.

The current Bodiao is located in the southern part of the Kushan Empire, bordering India.

Bu Liugu also accompanied him.

"Uncle Bo Diao, have you received any news from the north?"

Bu Liugu stood in a mansion in Patraya, an important city in southern Kushan, looking north with a worried look on his face.

She knew that her master, Afu Yu, was preparing to personally participate in the siege and killing of the King of Cao Wei.

When he was in Western Xianbei, Bu Liugu had a brief fight with Dian Wei in order to protect Kui Tou.

The pressure that the Cao Wei general put on her was no less than that from her teacher.

"No news yet."

Bo Diao was wearing a white robe decorated with gold ornaments, and looked calm:
"The Great Buddha, the guardian of Buddhism, and my Great Yuezhi general Jiayouxier, are wearing blue stone armor to participate in the battle. The king has also arranged the best assassins, plus your master.

If the Lord of Wei really goes to Wusun, let's see how he can get away!"

The little Buddha head also stood in front of Bo Diao:

"The ruler of the Eastern Kingdom is a very cruel person.

He killed all the Buddhist sutra preachers who went to Han territory and also stole the Buddha's relics. Otherwise, the Buddha would not have gone north in person."

Bo Diao stood up and walked to Bu Liugu's side, also looking towards the north:

“If news is sent back confirming the death of the Great Wei ruler, Han territory will be in chaos.

At that time, I will join forces with you Xianbei and conquer the Western Regions first."

He lowered his head to look at the petite Bu Liugu. He saw that her face was as white as snow, and there was a strange charm in her charming delicacy. He reached out and stroked Bu Liugu's slender waist.

Bu Liugu gave him a sidelong glance with a flirtatious look.

"Lord, there is news from the east." A personal soldier came in to deliver the message.

Bo Diao was interrupted and was quite unhappy: "Go on."

The personal army said: "There is a Wei army coming from the southwest of the Western Regions, approaching our eastern defense line, and suddenly launched an attack on the eastern part of our Great Yuezhi."

Bo Diao sneered: "If I don't fight him, he dares to attack me first!"

He returned to the first seat and asked: "What's the result?"

"Yesterday's battle saw our eastern defense line of Kandu City breached, and the Wei army advanced westwards, and this morning they breached Kushi City."

Bo Diao's expression darkened as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on him.

The pro-troops continued:

"The enemy has another group of troops, who should have also taken the plateau from the southwest corner of the Western Region and sneaked into our Kushan in advance."

To the east of the Kushan Empire, adjacent to the highlands, the terrain is flat and vast, from high to low, and is not conducive to defense.

In the past, traveling merchants often sneaked into Kushan through mountain paths, bypassing checkpoints, and avoiding taxes.

"The Wei army bypassed the mountains and fields, secretly entered the eastern part of our Kushan Empire, and then headed straight for the capital city of Fulousha.

Our army discovered their tracks when they were two hundred miles away from the city, and we sent out to meet them, but were defeated.”

"The east gate of the capital was attacked and breached at one point in the early morning. The enemy broke into the city and attacked the palace, but they withdrew in the second half of the night."

Huang Zhong and Taishi Ci coordinated their actions, with Huang Zhong personally leading the troops first.

He used the route that merchants used to enter and exit Kushan, detoured for a distance, and then attacked the Kushan capital.

Going west from Yuzhi and coming down from the plateau is the Kushan flank, only a few hundred miles away from Furusha.

In addition, in the past two or three years, through the caravans traveling east and west, the Wei Dynasty has gained a general understanding of the environment along the route.

At the same time, Taishi Ci's troops attacked the eastern defense line to cover the attention of the Kushan border guards and attract the attention of the eastern defense line, providing an opportunity for Huang Zhong's march.

The two consecutive pieces of bad news made Bo Diao shocked and angry.

The Kushans have fought wars all over the world over the years, and have never suffered the loss of having their capital attacked.

Someone dared to attack the heartland of Kushan, which made the arrogant Potiao extremely angry.

But it also frightened him.

The Wei army had the strength to attack the royal capital, and even broke through the city gate at one point, which shows how sharp their military force was.

When Huang Zhong withdrew from Fulusha, Taishi Ci advanced from the east to support him.

The two sides joined forces, tore through the intercepting troops, and left Kushan along the same route.

After receiving the news, Bo Diao was in a hurry to return to Florosa, and received news of war one after another.

Huang Zhong and Taishi Ci left the eastern part of Kushan and first occupied the plateau connecting the Western Regions and Kushan, defending Kushan from a high position.

Previously, the plateau where the Western Regions and Kushan met was occupied by half by each side, and patrolled from time to time.

However, no permanent troops were established, which is equivalent to a buffer zone.

At present, the Great Wei has shown its strength and was the first to occupy this area and control the high points.

A few days later, Dang Bo Diao returned to Fuluosha. The news that the Great Buddha, Afu Yu and others had failed in their attempt to ambush Cao Cao in Wusun also came back.

The most famous Kushan general, Gayushir, and the assassin were both killed on the spot.

The Buddhist guardian also died.

More importantly, if Wusun falls into the hands of Cao Wei, it will directly threaten Kushan from the north.

To the east was also Cao Wei, so it was attacked from two directions.

To the south, it was at war with Indy, and to the west, it bordered the Parthian Empire, with occasional frictions.

The strategic position of the Kushan Empire took a sharp turn for the worse.

In late November, Bo Diao again received news that Cao's army was heading westward and heading towards Kangju.

Cao Cao was still in the capital of Wusun State, and he had just received a piece of news.

Compared to the bad news that Bo Diao received, Cao Cao received good news.
