Chapter Eighty-Seven: The First Battle of the Western Expedition Stained Chisha Mountain with Blood

The rise of one nation is destined to step on the bones of other nations. The history books of the Chinese ethnic group record the shame of the barbarian invasion and the accumulation of blood debts, which is a typical bullying of people without culture.

If the nomadic peoples such as Dapeng, Guifang, Donghu, Linhu, Loufu, Xiongnu, Xianbei, Rouran, Turkic and other nomads also have their own writings and the habit of keeping black accounts, you will find that the history of the rise of the Chinese ethnic group is the history of the blood and tears of these nomads.

Therefore, even if Chen Ying only released a little kindness, they couldn't wait to come over.

It's not that they're cheap, they're really scared of being beaten, and they're afraid of hard times!

In the eyes of these Turkic men who yearn for a prosperous life, Datang is heaven and a fairyland on earth.

In fact, the people of Anxi are also full of hard work. On average, each of them can plant more than 700 acres of land, even if they use the latest four-wheel four-plough plough, they can cultivate 60 acres of land every day, plus sowing and fertilizing, the whole cultivation period is more than a month.

As for harvesting is more convenient, the predator who cuts wheat by manpower can cut eight acres of land a day, but the simple harvester with animal power can harvest fifty acres a day with one person and two horses, and this animal harvester takes the working method, just like a carriage, the knife is in front, and the wheat that has been cut down is directly pulled to the side with a sliding rod.

Although it is still very hard, the people of Anxi are happy, their annual income, nearly 1,000 stone of grain, except for more than 30 stone to pay taxes, the rest is at their discretion. In terms of food consumption alone, they only need to work for a year, and they will not be able to eat all the food in ten years.

What's more, the people of Anxi also grow cash crops, such as rape, cotton, and various fruits.

Living in a warm and spacious house, eating steamed buns every day if you want to eat steamed buns, eating rice when you want to eat rice, in the eyes of the Turks, the people of Anxi are enjoying a fairy-like life every day.

After looking at the treasury of the Anxi Army, Ashina Gushe completely lost his temper, Ashina Gushe and Ge Shunur and others knelt in front of Chen Ying, and said respectfully: "We are willing to serve the general as the main, ask the general to fight, and fight a prosperous and rich paradise!" ”

Ma Zhou and Chen Ying glanced at each other, and they both smiled bitterly.

The intestines of these Turks are really straighter than arrows, and there is no cover for what they want to say! Fortunately, there is no eyeliner of the imperial court here, otherwise if he said something to them just now, Chen Ying would not be able to eat and leave!

Su Dingfang asked in a low voice: "General, what should I do?" ”

As he spoke, Su Dingfang stretched out his hand and made a gesture to extinguish his mouth. There are some things that can be done tacitly, but they must not be said, otherwise where will the Tang Dynasty be placed?

Chen Ying shook his head, helped Ashina Gushe and the others up, and said softly: "You are all first-class good men on the prairie, don't kneel down to people at every turn, I don't like this...... In addition, I would like to emphasize that the greatness of the world is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister! Don't say anything stupid like serving me as the master in the future, I am a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, and if you want to be loyal, you can only be loyal to the Tang Dynasty. ”

Ashina Gushe shook his head and said: "We are the men on the grassland, the heaviest heroes, who is the Tang Dynasty, we don't know, we only serve the general!" ”

Geshu Nur said loudly: "We can't believe in the Tang Dynasty, we have six Geshu departments, 40,000 young and strong, from now on, we are willing to serve the general as the master." ”

Someone immediately responded: "Yes, the officials of the Tang Dynasty cannot be trusted, there are many selfish fools among them, they take us as fools, we can't trust them, we only believe in the generals......"

To put it bluntly, the Turks believed in the law of the jungle more. Anxi is too far away from Chang'an, and Chen Ying is close at hand. From Lingzhou, then to Hedong, and finally to Anxi, the Turks have not taken advantage of Chen Ying once.

Historically, Xue Rengui fixed the Tianshan Mountain with three arrows, killing Xue Yantuo and Tiele Ministry, and when they heard that Xue Rengui was dead, they dared to rebel. However, Xue Rengui appeared in front of the two armies, and they surrendered without a fight.

Now, Chen Ying's prestige is not as famous as Xue Rengui in history, at least from the Shibi Khan, Chuluo Khan, Jieli Khan, and the Western Turkic Yehu Khan, carefully calculated, the Turks planted as many as five Khans in Chen Ying's hands, and the Turks who died in Chen Ying's hands exceeded 300,000 horses.

The Turks only believe what they see and hear, they only believe in the strong, and those great truths are empty for them.

After figuring out this layer, Chen Ying was also a little helpless.

The grievances and suspicions accumulated by more than ten generations cannot be resolved by him overnight, and can only be resolved slowly.

Chen Ying said loudly: "Okay, I accept your allegiance, we form an alliance, the two clans work together to take the entire Lianghe region, the Han people cultivate, the Turks graze, the Han people will never encroach on the pastures of the Turks, and the Turks will not get the farmland of the Han people to graze, and they must not privately provoke the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and the border market will be fair and never closed!" ”

The Turks cheered loudly: "The border market is fair and will never be closed!" ”

They didn't study economics, but they also knew that their living standards were quite good when the border market was opened, and after the border market was closed, the quality of life plummeted. Do you still remember the days when you were dressed in tatters, drove your cattle and sheep to endure the cold wind and ran to the side wall, shouting and begging the Han people at the border to exchange daily necessities with them? Those days are really scary to think about.

Well, now Chen Ying announced that the border city will never be closed, and their good days are not far off.

Although the Yibilu Khan was only one of the four Khans of the Western Turks who established themselves as the Great Khan, Chen Ying did not care about these and wrote directly to Chang'an: "In February of the third year of Kaiyuan, the Great Khan of the Western Turks, the Ebilu Khan, surrendered to the Tang Dynasty!" ”

In this news, Chen Ying was delivered to Chang'an in the form of an eight-hundred-mile fast ride.

However, it will take at least three months for Li Jiancheng to get the news.

The delay and lag of the message is a fact that Chen Ying has no way to change.

Spring in Anxi came later than in the Central Plains, even if it was the end of March in the third lunar year of Kaiyuan, and the grassland began to spit out young shoots.

However, before these shoots could grow and thrive, they were trampled into a mess by the hooves of countless horses. With the order of Chen Ying to protect the capital of Anxi, Beiting, Qiuzi, and Shule received Chen Ying's order in the three towns.

The entire Anxi Army quickly marched into the Western Regions, and its main force had a total of 45 Zhichong Mansions, with a total of more than 67,500 men and horses, slowly advancing, while the 16 Zhichong Hook Sickle Lancers and 8 Yue Cavalry Corps Zhichong Mansions under the jurisdiction of the Xiao Cavalry Army, with a total of more than 36,000 cavalry divisions, began to sweep Anxi.

At the beginning of April, the iron hooves of the cavalry of the Anxi Army of the Tang Dynasty broke the tranquility of the Green Ridge, although more than 36,000 horsemen, which is not much in terms of quantity, but, looking at the whole of Anxi, not to mention anything else, there are at least 200,000 horses and horses in various cavalry units that can be handled.

However, the Tang Anxi cavalry is all elite.

Chen's first battle to the west was first fought at the Doros River (the upper reaches of the present-day Irtysh River in Xinjiang). Ge Shu Nuer, who was determined to give Chen Ying's minions, took his clan in Qiuzi City to hand over with Su Dingfang's department, in exchange for five or six thousand cavalrymen's high-carbon steel armor and sabers, and Ge Shunuer, who was exchanged for shotguns, took five or six thousand well-equipped Geshu cavalry, day and night, to attack Ashina Helu's department.

Ashina Helu is the fifth grandson of the Western Turkic Murmi Khan, and the son of the Sho Bu Lishe's special service to rob Yue. After Ashina Buzhen was annexed to the Tang Dynasty, Yibi Lulu Khan asked Ashina Helu to replace Ashina Buzhen as Yehu Khan.

However, Ashina Helu is a typical white-eyed wolf. Ebilu Khan supported him to become the Yehu Khan, who was second only to the Great Khan, and it can be regarded as having a good understanding of him.

However, after Ashina Helu sat down on Yehu Khan, he also wanted to be a great khan, and had a fierce battle with the Ebilu Khan, but Ashina Helu still had some ability.

He fought at home in Doroschuan, won more with less, and defeated the Khan of Ebilu.

Now, the call for Ashina Helu to replace the Ebilu Khan is high.

Suddenly receiving that Goshunur and Ashina Gushe led five or six thousand troops to attack him, Ashina Helu said with some surprise: "It's not strange that Goshunur is crazy, why is even Ashina Gushe crazy?" He lost half of his 100,000 parts, and he actually dared to come to provoke with five or six thousand people and leave them for Ben Khan! ”

As Geshunur burned and looted among the tribes under the jurisdiction of Ashina Helu, but the good times were not good, Ashina Helu led more than 15,000 horsemen, crossed the Doros River, and rushed towards Chisha Mountain.

Chisha Mountain is a 200-mile-long mountainous area, surrounded by mountains and strange rocks, composed of red, yellow, green, and white colors. The color of the North Mountain is reddish-brown, and when the sun shines, the smoke is filled, like a burning flame.

There are also strangely shaped and beautiful peaks here. For thousands of years, under the carving of the divine power of nature, some are like the "stone forest" of Guilin; Some are like the "Potala Palace" in Tibet; Others are like skyscrapers; Stone houses inhabited by primitive humans, etc. In ancient times, the famous cocoa sand iron smelting, the copper smelting site is here, this is not only a magnificent mountain range, but also a huge reserves of copper and iron mines, which can be called a natural treasure house.

As early as the second year of the Western Han Dynasty (60 AD), Qiuzi submitted to the Han, and the Han Dynasty set up a military in Beishan and stationed the army.

Unfortunately, this is no longer the case. The Tang Dynasty hadn't really arrived here yet.

When Goshunur saw Ashina Helu leading his troops coming, he was overjoyed.

"Warriors of the Great Turks, kill all the traitors!"

"Kill them, take their heads for white!"

Although the two sides are of the same race, they launched a bloody tear for different interests.

The battle began at noon until the two sides were exhausted and took the initiative to strike the battle.

However, the moment I saw the battle report.

Ashina Helu was simply a little unbelievable.
