Just as the huge Daqin ship was heading towards the west through the waves.

In the other direction, there is also an army of all cavalry traveling day and night, crossing the vast grasslands and Gobi wilderness, and heading straight to the west with thunder.

The Qin Dynasty conquered the 6,000 troops and 20,000 war horses, prepared all the food, grass and weapons to gather at the Longxi military camp at the end of February. After a simple reorganization, in early March, this elite army, each carrying at least two months of mixed military rations, officially sent troops to conquer the slums.

The commander of the army was a young general under twenty years old, and the left and right deputy generals were all heroic.

Although the Six Thousand Army was well equipped, all the weapons, bows and arrows were well equipped. In addition to the commander and two deputy generals, the entire army was divided into four different camps, and the flags were different. The three Thousand Black Helmets and Black Armor camps were selected from the camp of the Northern Theater Command. They were all elite Qin soldiers with skillful bows and horses. The other three were selected by the Three Kingdoms of Liang in the Liao Dynasty, and they were all elite warriors who were proficient in cavalry and shooting.

In order to arrive in Dayuan within two months, this army marched almost day and night. Although the journey was long, fortunately the journey to the Western Regions was very safe now, almost all on the territory of Liang Kingdom. Moreover, the imperial decrees had already been passed on to Liang Kingdom and the tribes of the Western Regions. Therefore, this army suddenly arrived and did not cause too many people to panic. Even the countries along the way had arranged officials to set up garrisons and supply areas. With good logistical support, the army arrived at Yumen Pass at the end of March and arrived in Shule in late April. After a brief renovation of the Shule military camp, it began to browse the Palacio. Ten days later, the army successfully crossed the Palacio and entered Dayuan. At this time, King Ning, who had already received news from the court, had already sent officials to wait at the necessary mountain pass.

In fact, this army that fought against Anxue was only three months later than Ning Wang Yingxiu arrived in Dayuan, but his luck was much better.

Gongzi Xiu set out from Xianyang in October last year. At that time, the winter had already begun in Guanzhong, and the Western Regions and other places had already entered the cold winter season. The wind and snow roared in the Pamir Mountains and it was impossible to pass through.

After Young Master Xiu led thousands of people to Yumen Pass, he walked around the edge of the desert on the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains at Li Xin's suggestion and followed the route of the Great Yuezhi moving westward. Although the road was thousands of miles away, it was better because the terrain was flat and could barely pass even in the cold winter and heavy snow.

So Gongzi Xiu set out from Xianyang in October, and when he arrived in Dayuan it was already February after the beginning of spring, and more than a dozen people were frozen to death along the way, and countless animals and goods were lost.

When Prince Xiu came to Jidong City, the entire team seemed to have arrived. If it weren't for the ceremonial guards and accompanying court officials and imperial documents, Jiang Hu, who was guarding Dayuan, might have driven Prince Xiu away.

Jiang Hu was relieved by the incident of Prince Xiu Feng Ning.

In his opinion, this arrangement of the court was the wisest choice.

If Dayuan is completely occupied, it will become the best barracks for the Qin Dynasty to conquer the West. Not only are there good horses, but it can also plant grains such as millet and wheat. There is also a huge semi-nomadic country Kangju nearby. As long as Kangju is conquered, the Qin Dynasty will obtain a steady stream of cattle, horses, livestock and a large number of slaves, so that the Qin Dynasty can gain a foothold in the West.

Prince Xiu, who had just arrived in Dayuan, brought a large number of guest officials and various talents, and soon occupied the Dayuan Palace to start a dynasty and built a yamen. He did not give Dayuan people any chance to resist or refute. He arranged the county and county commissions according to the orders of Emperor Daqin, and at the same time took over the Dayuan army and implemented a new military system.

Jiang Hu, who no longer had to worry about governing the civil affairs of Dayuan, finally felt much more relaxed. In addition to sending troops to cooperate with the various imperial tasks of King Ning, he was to carry out military system reform in accordance with the imperial edicts.

First, make proper arrangements for soldiers who meet the conditions for retirement. Those who are willing to return to the Qin Dynasty will return to Shule Military Camp to accept unified arrangements from the imperial officials. According to the military merits, they should go back to farming, those who should be officials, and those who should be rewarded will be rewarded. Some soldiers who have already married and even have children in Dayuan and do not want to go back are placed nearby. Real estate and land are allocated according to the most favorable conditions in the imperial edict. The Ning King is responsible for allocating official positions. The three provinces, six ministries and county police lieutenants soon added a large number of military generals and officials who are familiar with Dayuan. The joining of these people has greatly helped the Ning court to stabilize Dayuan.

In short, this group of elite Qin soldiers who have been preparing for the new style of horses and pawns for more than eight years have participated in the conquest of the Huns, Yuezhi and the Western Regions, and have finally made proper arrangements, and basically they can get a very satisfactory resettlement result.

The five thousand soldiers guarding Dayuan were also the last batch of the main forces after the reform of the new military system.

The old goes, the new comes.

At the end of March, Ying Bu, who had been promoted to colonel, led 5,000 new soldiers to Dayuan to replace the retired soldiers to guard Dayuan. Jiang Hu's identity was already the supreme commander of the Western army. Although he was still a lieutenant general, his status was no longer the same. In the future, all Qin troops sent by the court and the conscripted vassal army will accept Jiang Hu's control and truly become a commander.

After two months, the reforms of the military and political parties in Dayuan were almost straightened out.

In early April, a messenger came from Xianyang day and night to inform them that a large army of expeditions to calm down would arrive in Ningguo soon, and ordered the King of Ning to step up the preparation of food and grass and the construction of repair and manufacturing plants for carriages, weapons, pawns and equipment.

So the entire Dayuan was mobilized again in an instant, a large number of food and livestock were confiscated, and a large number of craftsmen were summoned. According to the plan of the Qin court, they began to quickly prepare food, grass and supplies, and Jiang Hu also began to rectify the troops. Just when this imperial army arrived, they could start to clean up the unstable factors around Dayuan.

The first step he envisioned was to conquer Kangju.

He has been waiting for almost a year since taking over Dayuan in May last year.

Eight years have passed since Chen Xu fooled him and Jiang Bu to understand the Western Regions and the West.

Although his identity has also climbed from a 14th-level right-ranking captain of the Wu Jue to the current Lieutenant General of the Wu Hou in the past eight years, his experience of eating sand in the Western Regions has made him so depressed that he could dig a hole in the Pamir Mountains for breathing.

However, the moment of worrying waiting was finally coming, and the Qin Dynasty was finally ready, and His Majesty finally couldn't help but attack the Western countries.

Moreover, Jiang Hu is also anxious. If he doesn't take action, the situation in the West will become more and more difficult to predict in the future.

The Great Yuezhi, which captured Daxia last year, is now in a very strong rise. In the more than a year, it has captured large areas of nearby areas, conquered dozens of tribes and remnants of Daxia near Daxia, and controlled a population of one million. The strong soldiers and horses have grown into a very powerful country, which is even stronger than the previous Yuezhi.

Jiang Hu led only five thousand veterans who had not fought for several years. Although they were all brave and good at fighting elite pawns, their equipment was old and difficult to supplement. After Dayuan's situation was reported to Xianyang until the beginning of spring, no news came back. Therefore, Jiang Hu did not dare to rashly send troops to conquer the Dayuezhi, and could only stick to Dayuan and allow it to develop.

The Dayuezhi also knew that Dayuan had been occupied by the Daqin. Facing Daqin's father, the former King of Yuezhi, Bi Kun, today's Dayuezhi king, felt the chrysanthemums were shivering, and could only accumulate strength to expand the territory and grab the armed army of slaves, and always beware of Daqin coming from the north to attack him.

So after the beginning of spring, Bi Kun, who had been holding back for more than half a year, finally couldn't help but send troops to rest. In more than a month, he captured several cities of two provinces near Daxia, and also snatched a large number of large livestock such as camels and horses, and his food was greatly supplemented, which made the Dayuezhi even stronger.

But Antioch III, who was obviously frustrated by the rebellion of the Western Governor-General, had no time to look east to deal with the small scabies of the Great Yuezhi. While personally leading the army to attack the rebels, he only arranged for his younger brother Tovares to organize an army to resist the Great Yuezhi. However, both Antioch and Tovares underestimated the ferociousness of the Yuezhi people.

Da Yuezhi, who had been chased by Da Qin and was chased to Central Asia, could not beat Da Qin's father, but Da Yuezhi, who had learned advanced combat experience and equipped a large number of stirrup saddles, faced An Xi as if he had taken Hercules pills, and surrounded An Xi's army day and night like a pack of wolves.

In February, the 30,000 troops of the Anxu Empire, which was hurriedly organized, were defeated by the Great Yuezhi. Just as Bi Kun was excited and ready to seize more fruits of victory, an internal strife broke out in his nest. Maodun, the Dumi King who was responsible for guarding the southern part of the Great Yuezhi Kingdom, rebelled and led a large army to capture the royal city Lanshi City.

The news reached Bi Kun's ears, and Bi Kun was so angry that he fell off the war horse and almost suffered a cerebral hemorrhage.

He treated Maodun so well, but he didn't expect that this rebel boy from the Hun tribe would rebel at such a critical moment.

Maodun's rebellion completely disrupted Bi Kun's deployment, and he could only give up the large area of ​​the peaceful land that he had finally captured and returned to the army to regain the royal city.

However, Maodun, who had been rebellious since he surrendered to the Great Yuezhi, had already planned carefully. After nearly a year of rest and the battles and robbery around him, he also had an army of nearly 30,000 people. This time, while Bi Kun sent troops to attack Anxu, Maodun suddenly rebelled and captured the empty Lan City in just three days.

As soon as the royal city was broken, the Dayuezhi, which had just settled down, was in chaos in an instant. Taking advantage of Bi Kun's absence, Maodun made various promises to many tribe leaders who had been conquered by the Dayuezhi. Under Maodun's coercion and temptation, more than a dozen tribes of all sizes soon surrendered to Maodun. When Bi Kun learned the news, most of the Great Yuezhi Kingdom had fallen into Maodun's hands.
