Ban Lu finally relented, not because he believed what Meng Gongwei said, but in this vast Western Regions, they were all from the Central Plains, and if they could support each other, he didn't want to kill each other.
After all, his enemies have always been the countries of the Western Regions, and the exclusion he has received over the years has also come from the countries of the Western Regions.
If they can have Han Sui's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses as their backing, they can only live with a straight back in the Western Regions.
So he opened the city gate and put all Han Sui's soldiers and horses into the city.
After Han Sui's army entered its Qiancheng, the soldiers and horses of the Western Regions Protectorate added up to at least nearly 35,000 people, and the Western Regions Protectorate, which had been weak for many years, began to burst out with vigorous strength at this moment.
Of course, there is still a need for integration between the two forces.
In this regard, not only Han Sui, but even Banlu is also worried about the inappropriateness, the above talks about peace, does not mean that the soldiers can get along peacefully, Han Sui's soldiers will have arrogance from the Central Plains, and the soldiers and horses of the Duhufu will have a complaining heart, so there will naturally be conflicts.
However, fortunately, the generals on both sides were pressing, and no major conflicts were brewed.
After more than ten days of running-in with each other, coupled with Meng Gongwei representing the Great Wu Dynasty, the contradictions between the two sides were adjusted in the middle, but a short-lived alliance was formed between the Western Regions Protector Army and Han Sui's army.
On this day, the sky was good, the wind and sand outside the city had dissipated, and under the sun, on the ceremonial hall of the Metropolitan Protectorate, the generals of Han Suijun and the Metropolitan Protector Army gathered together to discuss the military.
"General Han, there is one thing that we must make clear to you, just by virtue of its ability to dry the city, it can't feed tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and in a month at most, we will be short of food and grass."
Gai Ling looked at Han Sui and took the lead in speaking.
The total population of its Qiancheng is only tens of thousands, although there are some tuntian, and it is also a wealthy title in the Western Regions, but it is already very difficult to feed 5,000 soldiers and horses in normal times.
Now that 30,000 soldiers and horses have been added at once, it is impossible to survive.
Now that Han Sui's soldiers and horses are stationed, logistics has become their biggest problem.
"Bantuhu, I don't think this one is a problem.
Its Qiancheng can't support our soldiers, and the cities of Qiuci should be able to support our soldiers, if Qiuci can't survive, dozens of small countries in the Western Regions can't survive?"
Han Sui didn't speak, Yan Xing spoke.
Yan Xing's eyes flashed with a strong battle intent: "We now have its Qiancheng as the foundation, with the strength under our command, it is enough to kill in the Western Regions, and if there is no logistics, then use war to feed the war."
"You want to take the initiative" When Ban Lu heard this, his eyes moved slightly, and there was a trace of consternation in his expression.
Over the years, they have been guarding its Qiancheng hard, without the support of the Central Plains, isolated and helpless, surrounded by the Qiuzi Kingdom and the Wusun Kingdom.
The days are very difficult, I can only barely get by, I can't hold it, let alone attack.
So they rarely think in this direction, and now that Yan Xing said this, Ban Lu's blood boiled a little.
"Can't you do it?"
Han Sui smiled indifferently, and there was a pride of the Central Plains people in his words: "What kind of demeanor did Ban Dingyuan have back then, will my Central Plains generation still let them be barbarian and bully, your strength was weak before, and you could only defend it Qiancheng."
But now we have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and the armor weapons we use are a bit backward in the Central Plains, but in the Western Regions, they are definitely the top.
Can't you deal with them?"
"Since General Han has such a heroic spirit, we are naturally not afraid of a battle, where do you want to fight first?"
Ban Lu's heart moved, and his expression suddenly became excited.
In the past, for the tens of thousands of people in Qiancheng, he could only be oppressed again and again by the barbarian country.
In fact, he has long wanted to do a good job in his heart.
"I want to know the terrain of the Western Regions first," Yan Xing said cautiously.
"Old Gai, bring the map" Ban Lu whispered a word to Gai Ling beside him.
"Yes" Gai Ling stood up, then spread out a very rough parchment map, pointed his finger to the curved curves in it, and marked a hazy area: "This is the city of Qiancheng where we are, Yancheng in the north, Wulei City in the past, Wensu in the west, Tarim River in the south, and desert in the southwest."
"I'm a little confused about how I look at this map" The corners of Han Sui's mouth twitched slightly.
"Great King, there is a big gap between this map and the map marked in the Central Plains, and we can only barely draw the direction, as for the distance between the cities, how many roads, where are rivers, where are deserts, they are not marked, and marching according to this map is very disadvantageous to us," Yan Xing said.
The Western Regions are still a lot more backward than the Central Plains, whether it is life or military supplies, they are maintained in the Qin and Han dynasties, and today's Central Plains, most of them use the marching sand table, even the marching map is marked in great detail.
Han Sui naturally couldn't turn around.
"You'd better look at my map."
Meng Gongwei took out a detailed map of the march of the Western Regions from a cylinder and spread it out in front of the generals.
"This march map is so detailed, not only the small countries of Wusun, Dawan, Qiuzi, and Cheshi are clearly delineated, but even the obscure trails are marked, how can you know so much about the terrain of the Western Regions?"
Ban Lu is a military advisor, so he naturally understands the importance of this map, so when he saw this marching map, his face changed slightly.
"Huh" Meng Gongwei smiled and said proudly: "This is our Jinyiwei's efforts in the Western Regions for many years, the Great Wu Dynasty has been aiming at the world since His Majesty Sun Quan ascended the throne, His Majesty Sun Quan once said that the place where the solar energy in the sky reflects the Dao is the territory that our Great Wu wants to conquer, so we have sent a lot of scouts to enter the Western Regions as merchants in the early years, inquire about the news, and survey the terrain, otherwise do you think that Han Gong's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses can cross the desert one by one so easily and enter the Western Regions?"
Since the navy entered Guishan, Jinyiwei has always sent a lot of spies into the Western Regions to explore the terrain, after all, there is a road to march, and it is very important to figure out every terrain.
"Now I'm starting to believe you a little" Hearing this, Ban Lu gritted his teeth and said in a low voice.

If there is no three or five years for this marching map, a lot of manpower and material resources have not been invested.
It is absolutely impossible to draw it, which is enough to prove that Soochow has long been prepared for the Western Regions.
"Soochow's vision is really long-term, and no one in the Central Plains can compare" When Han Sui heard this, he couldn't help but sigh.
Then he set his eyes on the detailed marching map: "A very detailed marching map, with it as the core of Qiancheng, it should not be difficult to make a sand table" "I've already told someone to do it, and it will take a few days to finish" Meng Gongwei said: "The matter of the march.
Han Gong, you are better than me, you can talk about the goal first" "Okay, let's talk about the target of the attack in detail, in the north of the Western Regions, Wusun is definitely the first big country, and then there is Qiuzi, Cheshi, the first thing we want to take should be Qiuci Kingdom, and Yancheng is our first target" Han Sui pointed to the map and said.
"There aren't many soldiers and horses in Yancheng.
At most, more than 2,000 people, 10,000 troops, enough to take" There was a touch of melancholy in Ban Lu's eyes: "But once we send troops, it will be equivalent to tearing our faces with the countries of the Western Regions, they will not allow the Western Regions to enter the era of my ancestor Ban Chao again, so they will already try their best to fight back against us, if Wusun Dawan and them participate in the war, we will be attacked on all sides" "In today's situation, in fact, the best way is to unite dozens of small countries in the Western Regions.
It is impossible to unite as one, and it is not impossible for forces to yearn for the Central Plains, and I believe that as long as we are sincere, we can still win over a group of small countries to join us.
When the time comes, we can break them one by one."
Meng Gongwei said in a deep voice.
"This is an idea, but now the land of the Western Regions is very different from back then, and the fear of the Central Plains among the countries has also become very weak, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for them to join our formation."
Gai Ling's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a low voice.
"Master Meng, can the Wu army send troops and horses north from Guishan.
If we can have the support of Wu Jun, we will unify the Western Regions, just around the corner."
Han Sui said.
"Han Gong, it's not that our Great Wu is unwilling to go north, but that the soldiers and horses of the Wu army are now caught in the battle of the Kushan Empire, in fact, we can also draw out some soldiers and horses, but you also know very well in your hearts that if you can't defeat the Kushan Empire, the Wu army will not be able to go north, and you can't come up."
Meng Gongwei said in a deep tone.
"My lord, the secret letter of the brocade guard" At this time, outside the lobby, a soldier wearing a flying fish suit and an embroidered spring knife at his waist walked in and whispered beside Meng Gongwei.
"From Domestic" "No, this is from the Kushan Empire" Jinyi Lux said: "Hurry up, it took seven days, and six sons died along the way, before it was delivered."
"Kushan's Letter" "It seems that Soochow can really connect the Central Plains and the Western Regions" The eyes of the generals suddenly fell on the letter in Meng Gongwei's hand.
"It should be a very urgent letter" Meng Gongwei opened the secret letter, looked at it, his eyes sank, and only after half a ring did he raise his head, looked at Han Sui, and then looked at Ban Lu, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, there is news from Guishuang back."
"What news" Han Sui's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly.
"The Wu army gathered 100,000 soldiers and horses in Fulousha, the capital of the Kushan Empire, and was ready to destroy the Kushan Empire, but there was an opportunity left, they needed our help" Meng Gongwei said: "He needs us to send 5,000 cavalry, go straight south, reach the border of Kushan, and make the illusion of a large-scale attack into Kushan from the north."
"What" "Let's go south" "Playing Guishuang" The faces of the generals suddenly changed color, and they suddenly looked at each other, as if they could see the panic on each other's faces.
"I understand that this matter should be difficult for you, after all, it is not easy to go south, but this is a good opportunity, and it is not without benefits, as long as you can assist Dawu to destroy Guishan, the Wu army will naturally have no obstacles, and the army can drive straight into the road between the two places, at least, our Dawu's materials can also pass through the sea from China, and then take Guishan and enter the Western Regions" Meng Gongwei said in a deep tone: "With the support of Great Wu, the countries of the Western Regions will not be able to stop our troops."
"But it's not so easy to go south, will the Dawan Clan let us go?"
Yan Xing asked forcefully, "I'm afraid that even if we have the heart, we won't be able to get by."
"Then it depends on who leads the troops, if General Yan is willing to lead the troops in person, we are not unpassable, the cavalry carries a month's dry food, does not enter the city, according to the route we planned, even if there is an interception, it will not be able to stop you" Meng Gongwei's eyes were sharp, staring at Yan Xing.
Yan Xing gritted his teeth, turned his head, and looked at Han Sui with some inquiry.
"Master Meng, I'll just ask a question, is Wu Jun sure that he will destroy Guishuang?"
Han Sui groaned for a long time and asked word by word.
He was afraid that the bamboo basket would be empty, and when the time came, Wu Jun would only lose the battle, and he might be about to face sleepiness.
"Han Gong, I can't answer this question, I answered, I guess you don't dare to believe it, but what I can tell you is that I have confidence in them, General Zhou Tai is our Great Wu General, if he doesn't have a certain certainty, he won't rashly ask us to go south" After Meng Gongwei finished speaking, he looked at Han Sui, and reminded him again: "Han Gong, although this is a danger, but for you, it is also an opportunity, although you are the king of the Jin Kingdom, but the Jin Kingdom has never been recognized by the Great Wu Dynasty, you are just canonized by the Great Wei Dynasty, if you have no merit, after surrendering to the Great Wu, at most you will be a duke with no rights, are you willing?"
Hearing this, Han Sui's fists clenched slightly.
It is already the trend of the times to take refuge in Soochow, and with his identity, Dawu will at least give the position of a third-grade duke to appease his soldiers, but this does not mean that Soochow will be important to him.
Soochow could have hung him high.
And he is naturally unwilling to become an empty duke in Jinling City, he is not young, but he still has ambitions, otherwise this time he would not rashly oppose Wei and fall into this world.
"I'm not reconciled," Han Sui made a decision and said loudly. t1706231537:
