When we met Daozuo, I didn't know you on the other side. Now that I have heard the wind and fled, I am afraid of seeing you again.

The Sogdian merchant Alibov's slight emotion was just a small wave in the entire Western Regions war situation. Even if he is rich and rivals the country, who cares? When the Persians were expanding their influence in the river, he followed the Persians and sent an envoy to Shule.

When his hometown of Shiguo Tuoxi was captured by the Uzbeks, he fell to the Uzbek Chingu Khan! With great effort, he collected the Hetian jade carried by the Guo family's caravan and presented it to the Uzbeks.

Jia Huan's attack on the thirsty city was not to avenge Guo Wei. Military affairs are not dominated by personal vendettas. Don't be angry with the Lord! This point, with Jia Huan's calm temperament, how can he not understand?

He led the army to look west, and the reason on the surface was for the beauty: to save Shi Yuhua. Chong Guan was angry and red-faced. is like the nonsense reason that Wu Sangui said when he wanted to vote for the Qing Dynasty: The big husband can't protect a woman, how can he see people!

The actual reason was that he wanted to paralyze the Turkish of Broken Leaves. It has nothing to do with revenge for Guo Wei and others.

It's not that he forgets his hatred, but it's that on the side of the town, especially in the big war, public affairs take precedence over private matters.

Of course, both public and private are also excellent. Therefore, after Jia Huan captured the city of Thirsty Sai, he set up a festival for Guo Wei and others the next day to unite people's hearts.

…

…

Guojia Village outside Dunhuang City.

An epistle came from the river. It was a military passage. From the middle line of the Silk Road in Gumo and Qiuzi. The elders and children of the Guo family gathered in the ancestral hall. The atmosphere in the ancestral hall is a relief after sadness.

On the same day, after receiving Guo Wei's letter in Shule, Jia Huan sent a message to Dunhuang, which was thousands of miles away. The Guo family already knew the news that their caravan had been killed.

In the five-room ancestral hall, more than 300 members of the Guo family are directly stationed. More than a dozen relatives were weeping.

Guo Lun took the lead, incense, and said, "Second brother, the soul system is back!" ”

The Guo family's decision to follow Jia Yuanjun was his decision. I didn't expect the second brother and others to die because of this. The loss of property is a small matter in comparison. Alas...

After this incident, the relationship between the Guo family and Jia Yuanjun will be even closer. The prosperity and wealth of the Guo family can be guaranteed. But, after all, the people are gone. His heart is complicated at the moment: is it worth it or not?

Guo Lun turned his head and his eyes fell on the crying women and children, and the compensation was thicker.

"The Soul is back!" In the ancestral hall, the patriarch of the Guo family recited softly.

…

…

Thirsty City.

After Jia Huan captured the city, he did not carry out large-scale social reforms in Ningyuan. For example: freeing slaves, equalizing the land. In the Hanzhong region, there has always been a habit of keeping slaves. Rather, it is only a modest tax.

Levy to about 10 million silver dollars. This is much lower than what he received in Tochar. It is also lower than his harvest of fighting local tyrants in the Shule area. In this way, you can buy various supplies and replenish your needs. Drive the economic growth of Ningyuanguo.

At the same time, he was promoting the use of the Great Zhou silver dollar. The Great Zhou silver dollar was used as one penny in eight cents of silver. Seigniorage is 20%. It's all about profit!

When Jia Huan was preparing money and food, Zhang Sishui, who was in charge of military affairs, sent reconnaissance cavalry to the direction of Juzhan to reconnoiter the situation.

This is indispensable for the role of the black-clothed crescent guard mastered by Qin Hongtu. How to engage in espionage, Jia Huan is not an expert, but modern people can say one, two, three: codebook; One-line contact; Several ways to build a spy network, and so on.

What's more, Jia Huan invested a lot of money in this regard. This is very important for spy agencies.

The strengthened Shule branch is active in the areas that Jia Huan is concerned about: Shule, Tocharo, Broken Leaves, and Hezhong.

…

…

In late September, when the Zhou army made a short stop in the city of Thirsty Sai, the news was spreading rapidly to Hezhong, Xiaye, Tocharian and other places.

Accompanied by the news of the war between the Zhou army and the Uzbeks, there is also Jia Huan's poem: Chong Guan is angry and red! Most of the people who heard it smiled knowingly. The beauty of the Shi family deserves to be so!

Isn't it rumored for a long time that the Persian governor of the river, Karimi, attacked the city of Hengros and caused a war, and it was because of her?

The Uzbek Chingu Khan even named her and the pearl of the Sogdians: Princess Yuanshuang of Kangguo.

Now there is one more world-famous Jia Tanhua!

Tocharo, the city of Achu.

In the evening, the golden sunset shines on the Wuhu River. Pang Ze handled official business, and the new king of the Yue Clan, Mahmoudi, ate wine in the restaurant in the city, enjoying the beautiful sunset. Accompanied by several Yueshi beauties.

The third floor of the restaurant was emptied, and the guards were outside. Beauties serve. Pang Shiyuan hugged the beauty and drank freely, a real celebrity party. The topic is naturally inseparable from the recent news from the Bosimont and Dushanbe cities.

Mahmoudi, who is in his forties, smiled and complimented: "Jia Envoy Jun is really a man of temperament! As soon as this sentence comes out, it will inevitably be passed down through the ages. "Raise a glass to toast," Xiao Wang admired! ”

Pang Ze has a large nose and an ugly appearance. But what kind of person is he? He was in charge of Tocharian at the moment. Raise your head and laugh, "Haha! ”。 Glancing at it again, he said, "The king must be worried about Ziyu's defeat, right?" ”

Mahmoudi smiled wryly, "I heard that Jia Envoy Jun only led more than 10,000 soldiers to fight in the river. The Uzbeks, on the other hand, have been fighting for many years and are accustomed to the methods of firearms warfare. Xiao Wang was really worried in his heart. ”

When he said this, he proved that he had no other thoughts in his heart. If you don't talk to Pang Ze, that's a big problem.

Pang Ze smiled and said categorically: "Can the Persian firearms be the same as those of my Da Zhou?" No matter what happens in the war, the situation here in Tocharian will not change! ”

He was just as worried. According to intelligence, the Uzbeks are not nomadic cavalry who only know how to ride and shoot. They fought against the Persians and Sogdians all year round. There is a set of methods for dealing with firearms units. However, how can you show cowardice in front of others?

Mahmoudi had to smile and nod his head and pour Pang Ze wine. He was really worried that his throne was obtained by the Zhou army.

Jia Huan's expedition to the west totaled 12,000 troops, which was not a secret in the eyes of all parties. Ning Yuanguo and Thirsty City are like a sieve.

Samarkand. King Kang's palace.

Kalimi, the governor of the Persian Empire, summoned Jeparo, the king of Kang, Islom, the king of Shi, and the six kings of Dong'an, Xicao, An, Xiaoshi, Shi, and Mi to discuss here.

Some time ago, due to the defeat of the 30,000 Sogdian coalition led by Karimi, the trade routes of Kuzhan were restored. brought the latest news: Jia Huan, the commander of the Shule Army of the Zhou Army, is coming to save his old friend and peerless celebrity Shi Yuhua.

However, as the situation stands, on September 26, the troops of the Chingu Khan captured the capital of the Eastern Cao Kingdom.

This is the rhythm of westward expansion into Samarkand! The Chingu Khan had no intention of going east to engage the Zhou army at all.

This greatly disappointed the Sogdians, who were counting on the Zhou army to relieve the siege.

Kalimi, in his forties, was in good shape and belonged to Jalali, the governor of Khorasan in the Safavid dynasty of the Persian Empire. He was the tax collector of Mulu. Participated in the Safavid Dynasty's war against the Red Heads. Carved for people.

"Zhou Jun can't count on it. I have sent a letter to Governor Jalali. In a few days, the elite legions of my Safi dynasty will come. Don't worry. It's a matter of taxes, so you have to pay close attention. ”

Several kings bowed their heads unnaturally.

King Jeparo of Kangguo, who was described as handsome and about fifty years old, proposed: "Lord Governor, do you think you will give the Shi family to the Zhou army in exchange for their quick dispatch of troops?" Just send her to the city of Achus in Tocharo. The Zhou army was bound to send troops. ”

Kalimi flatly refused, with a stern expression, and said, "No. Governor Jalali had already written to His Majesty's attendants that he was bound to send the Stone Beauty to Baghdad. The Governor is now awaiting the Governor's decision. ”

"Alas..."In the small hall next door to the discussion, Princess Yuanshuang, who was eavesdropping, couldn't help but sigh faintly. The pretty jade face was full of sadness.

Sister Yuhua's fate is bad!
