Chapter 664 Westward Again

For Sima Ji now, Samarkand is like a young girl in front of a flower-picking thief. Resistance is useless. The more intense the resistance, the more severe the Yan King will only cause greater damage. Sima Ji can do anything he wants. If he has time, he can even dismantle the Sphinx and return to the court.

After gathering up Gelgus and Sogdian surrendered troops, Sima Ji was not too anxious to advance westward. As a vassal king who was accustomed to cutting sausages, the King of Yan always made complete preparations before he started to swing a sledgehammer. Don’t think that swinging a sledgehammer is so simple, at least you can’t hit the load-bearing wall.

After the end of this battle, Sima Ji quickly enjoyed the treatment of the people supporting our great Jin Dynasty. Just as I had imagined before, such as defending my country, even if the Jin army was really a powerful invader who came to act as a mighty invader, as long as he could win, he could still become a kingly army that spreads civilization. The winners decide everything, and the losers can't decide anything.

In the face of swords and guns, all forces in the Hezhong area finally understood their real situation and the Jin army was not the one they defeated. When they understood that the Jin Dynasty was much stronger than them, they would naturally cooperate. In the final analysis, they all wanted to survive.

Sima Ji naturally accepted this with pleasure. He has never been a greedy person, and he does not have endless desires for territory and population. The lands west of the Pamir Mountains are geographically far from the Central Plains. The population is not from Jin people. If you really want to greed and eat too much, will you not attack or not if you want to separatist in the future?

If the attack is not worth the loss, what is the point of annexation if it is not attacked? It is just to simply attract hatred?

When I met the envoy of Kangju again, Sima Ji expressed a pacifist attitude and said, "Whether you believe it or not, I am not interested in the place in Hezhong. The purpose of coming here is to bring the soldiers under my command to see the vast world. If you witness this scene from beginning to end, you should know that it was the Sogdians who wanted to take action, and I am just a self-defense counterattack."

He is really to be honest. At present, the Jin Dynasty has not been involved in the strength here. It seems that there are many people in the local area but fewer than in previous dynasties, and it has to be devoted to Nanyang. If he had the population of my Qing Dynasty, he would have talked to you about it. I would have long let you know what the combat power stimulated by survival pressure.

This innate deficiencies really dragged down his ambitions. Sima Ji sometimes wondered where the population supported by those Three Kingdoms novels came from? You should know that after the Three Kingdoms Caal, the scope of the war had actually narrowed to the front line of confrontation, so that the population could recover. When the population was really insufficient, it was when the princes of all sides were there. After the protagonists brushed the copy of the Three Kingdoms, they would take tens of millions of people to beat whom? They would not rest or recuperate?

Finally, before Murong Han came back, Sima Ji took out a picture of the imperial edict he brought and filled in the content to express his appreciation for Kangju's support for Shangguo. Now all the forces in Hezhong were caught and beaten up by Sima Ji, and each of them suffered a lot of losses. It was also an opportunity for Kangju to achieve great success. Maybe they could usher in ZTE?

The imperial edict is not important, but the background of this imperial edict is very important. Kangju also knew that this was an opportunity to pull the tiger's skin and hold the big banner. Now, except for himself, all small tribes in all countries have suffered a lot of losses. If they acted under the banner of the Jin army, they might be able to restore the glory of their ancestors. So the Kangju envoy who came came received Sima Ji's imperial edict with great gratitude.

The Kangju envoy who received the imperial edict immediately expressed his yearning for the Jin Dynasty, saying that he had long seen these forces that were not in accordance with the control of the Celestial Empire and would definitely guard the order in the river for our great Jin Dynasty.

As for the bribes to the King of Yan, there is no need to mention them too much. Sima Ji even felt that the imperial edicts he brought out were a little less, so he should really save some effort. As for the fact that he was arbitrarily named the king, wasn’t he imitating the fine traditions of our Great Jin Dynasty? Could it be that King Qi and King Zhao can do it, but King Yan can’t do it?

"There is an old saying among the people of Great Jin that it was a family five hundred years ago. Since Kangju made the right choice, he didn't have to be polite to me. Being able to maintain order in the river is also beneficial to our Great Jin. Peace is the most important thing." After giving the imperial edict, Sima Ji pretended to comfort the Kangju mission, and he had no idea whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.

The Han and Tang Dynasties were not Song and Ming dynasties, and foreign policy was fine. In Sima Ji's view, Kangju received the imperial edict from him. Once the Jin Dynasty completed the occupation of the South China Sea in the future, it would turn back and cause trouble. Because he had already explained the population driving force to the court clearly. A hundred or two hundred years later, if Kangju did not perish, he might be able to receive a treatment called since ancient times. The evidence is the imperial edict he issued today.

This is not a shameless or shameless person. Everyone has to be responsible for their position. What Sima Ji said now is passing by, and the people of Kangju still don’t believe a word, but this does not delay him from repeating it constantly. He led the army to the river and passed by.

Before Sima Ji was preparing to go to Samarkand, he wrote a memorial to express the love of all forces in the river for our great Jin Dynasty. He all looked up to the kindness of the superior country. He came here just to comfort him, but he had to be kind and stayed for a while. The ministers and ministers in the capital had to do their best.

The secret letter from him to his confidant and Jicheng was also sent out at the same time. This should be the last public memorial, which means that he would stay in the Western Regions for a while in a short period of time. He also attached a tampered map, indicating that his location is not far from the Western Regions and can go back at any time. This also shows that others in the court jumped out without knowing how long it took him to go back.

From now on, Sima Ji will not send people back to the court to report, because he is no longer allowed to do this. And there is no need at all. In his position, the distance from the Mediterranean west to Jicheng east is similar. It does not take several years like the Mongolian expedition. He did not come here to destroy anyone. He had to fight a war, but there was no war to destroy the country.

Murong Han also led the partial army to return ten days later. The reason why it took several days was because of the characteristics of the nomadic people. The White Huns were unexpectedly defeated, but they could not escape. This would not be because Murong Han was a Xianbei and also a member of the nomadic force. Murong Han, who had been pursuing for two days, came back to meet with Sima Ji with his captives.

In this battle, Murong Han beheaded 5,000 people, captured more than 10,000 people, and lost more than 2,000 troops. However, Sima Ji didn't care. Isn't this a great victory? After two days of renovation, Sima Ji ended his leisurely days and marched towards Samarkand with spoils. The new front army was naturally led by Gelgus. As a general who was already standing in front of history, Gelgus was the most anxious one. After all, one more day would delay his whole family for one more day.
