The seventh day of October. Cold.

Outside the city, the Uzbek tents were one after another, with no end in sight. The Zhenzhu River and the medicine killing water converge here, and the herdsmen drive herds of cattle and sheep to drink water by the river.

The Sogdians built palaces and houses like the Han people. This is the embodiment of a high civilization. The Transoxiana region was once the birthplace of the Khwarazm, the Persian Samanid Empire, and the Timurid Empire. However, most Uzbeks prefer to live in tents outside the city. They didn't rise and become powerful for a long time.

The same is true of the Chingu Khan.

The spacious king's tent was very lively at noon. The beautiful concubine danced in the royal tent. Thin shirt with long sleeves, graceful posture between dances.

The Khan of Qingu enjoyed the singing and dancing, hugged the waist of his favorite concubine Ji Yadai, drank wine, and laughed from time to time.

More than fifty slaves, both sexes, prepared a variety of delicious delicacies outside the tent. Beef and mutton are the majority. This eating habit led to the aristocrats of the steppe, and there were not many people who lived long.

Ji Yadai lay in the arms of the Chingu Khan, fed the grapes, and said with a smile: "The Khan has obtained the Hezhong region, and he is about to get two beauties, I congratulate the Khan!" ”

The Chingu Khan was in his fifties and was of medium build, strong and thick. Red-faced and energetic. Haha laughed: "Concubine Ai has a heart." ”

He is now on vacation. It's not that he's mediocre, it's that as a veteran Khan, he has confidence in his generals after arranging for his subordinates to go on expeditions. He has his own judgment. Hold on to your heart.

He had already sent an envoy to Samarkand to ask for the famous Ling Shi Yuhua and the Sogdian beauty Princess Yuanshuang. The sketches and portraits of the two great beauties circulated in the river are extremely beautiful. And the thought that soon these two great beauties would surrender to him and let him enjoy them as he pleased. I felt some warmth in my lower abdomen.

At this time, the Chingu Khan would never have imagined what the battle situation would be at Lake Tajikistan!

…

…

On the sixth day of October, 10,000 Uzbek troops from the Western Route captured the small city of Jizzak, 100 miles east of Samarkand. At this distance, the cavalry can kill in a day's journey.

Later, the Uzbek envoys entered Samarkand and demanded Shi Yuhua and Princess Yuanshuang from Kalimi, the governor of the Persian Empire, and Jeparo, the king of Kang.

By this time, the messenger from Mulu had arrived in Samarkand. Jalali, the governor of Khorasan in the Persian Empire, as well as the upper echelons of the Persian Empire, have paid attention to the river.

Khorasan was the eastern stronghold of the Persian Empire. Back then, the Black Clothes Food arose here. Balkh, one of the four towns of Khorasan, located in Tocharo, was already feeling the advance of the Zhou army. And if Samarkand is lost, the wooden deer will be at the border.

How could the emperors and ministers of Baghdad not pay attention to this war that was nominally caused by a beautiful woman?

In the small courtyard to the east of the post house in the city, the moonlight of the cold winter wax moon shines in the courtyard and emits a cold clear glow. The slate was frozen hard.

In the flower hall, the lights are bright. Shi Yuhua was entertaining Prince Jory for tea. She and her maid were under house arrest in the inn, but Jory was allowed to go out. Her communication and contact with the outside world are basically through Prince Jory.

Shi Yuhua wore an elegant cyan skirt, a graceful and lonely beauty. She took a sip of fragrant tea, took a sip of bitterness, and sighed lightly: "Your Highness, what can Yuhua do?" ”

Prince Jory brings the latest news. At the very moment, Princess Yuanshuang was grounded. The governor of Khorasan, Jalali, wanted to send her to Baghdad to be dedicated to the Persian emperor: Abbas the Great. And the Sogdians refused.

Because, the messenger of the Uzbek Chingu Khan also came to Samarkand and asked for her. The situation is in danger!

A woman's beauty triggers a national war, which is the most splendid experience in the world. However, for her, this is like a cargo-like experience, and it is painful in her heart!

Prince Jory is dressed in a gorgeous white shirt and various ornaments, all of which are precious and abnormal. Sitting on the opposite side of the Eight Immortals table, looking at her dreamy beautiful eyes, I wanted to be deeply intoxicated. Hearing her sigh, my heart was hot, and I blurted out, "

Shi everyone, I live and die with you! Wherever you go, I will protect you. Even hell! ”

The Shi family once told him that if there was a risk of losing her body, she would rather die than be ruined. And the current situation, no matter which side wants to go, is a dead end. This is the word of martyrdom!

After saying this, the young man in his twenties suddenly turned red, sweet and worried, his throat was dry, and he didn't dare to face Shi Yuhua.

Over the years, Shi Yuhua has met no less than 100 men who confessed their hearts to her and expressed their admiration. He didn't feel embarrassed at the moment, shook his head gently, and whispered: "Your Highness's intentions, Yuhua knows it well. And yet..."

After that, he sighed again, looked out the window at the bright moon passing through the treetops, and a resentful look floated on his pure and beautiful jade face, why didn't he come yet?

"The jackdaw autumn geese are desolate, what is the danger of sitting Sijun? The autumn water looks through and sighs lightly in the wind. If the swallow does not return, it will be in vain! ”

The sound is like heaven. Graceful and melodious, like a wind chime shaking. Anyone who hears it knows what she misses.

Rejected again. Jory Hamad Nadi dispelled his apprehension and frustration in the singing! Looking at the beauty singing tactfully at the table of the Eight Immortals, I was stunned in my heart! She's so close, and so far away!

…

…

The mountains are like the sea, and the remnant sun is like blood.

On the shore of Tajik Lake, the Zhou army and the Uzbek army fought for two days, and on the evening of the eighth day of October, the victory and defeat were finally decided.

Zhang Sishui used brave soldiers, and the Tajik Lake was fifty miles long, and he used one day and one night to open it up in three times. Every time the Zhou army advanced, artillery positions were built, and at this time, the morale of the Uzbek army was low.

By the morning of the second day, Zhang Sishui chiseled through the narrow strip of land by the Tajik Lake, and suddenly his vision was broadened. Immediately, with the strength of three battalions, an array of guns was spread out in the plain, and all the long fields were covered with red waves.

There is an indescribable pride, echoing in the heavens and the earth, echoing in the chests of the soldiers of the Zhou army! Only sacrifice and ambition!

Witnessed by the sun on a winter afternoon, in front of the mountains that had been silent for thousands of years, in this gentle cold wind, the brave soldiers of the Zhou army, armed with flintlock pistols and bayonets, threw away their armor and abandoned the armor of the Uzbek army of 40,000 people!

The red flag is blowing in the west wind!

12,000 men were killed, and about 20,000 were taken prisoner!

Remember: in this world, sometimes the wind blows like this, and sometimes the wind blows like that. But, after all, it is the east wind that will overwhelm the west wind! This is the spiritual wealth left to us by the prosperous Han and Tang dynasties! This is the self-confidence of Han civilization!

We are the descendants of the dragon, and civilization has never been broken.

…

…

A day ago, in the king's tent outside the city, the Qingu Khan, who was still dreaming of two great beauties, was panicked when he heard the news, as you can imagine!

Lake Tajikistan is only 40 miles from Kuzhanti! More than 100,000 Uzbek tribesmen, old and young women, cattle and sheep have not been transferred. It's all their tribe's belongings!

When Shi Yuhua was almost cornered by the Uzbek troops in the city, she didn't know that the Zhou army was already so close to her! Who would dare to cross the sword on the road?
