Mobei. and Lin.

The royal court of the ancient tribe of Baye.

In early autumn, the grasslands are dyed golden by the autumn wind. The early morning wind blows, and the soft grassland is like a continuous golden straw mat. The sky is vast, the wilderness is vast, and the poetry is picturesque!

Yilin Khan was in the king's tent and the judge Bai Hedan dealt with several government affairs, at this time, the central scrivener Hao Yuanping came in, holding a letter in his hand, and said: "Khan, Koroteiji has arrived in the steppe north of Jinshan. ”

The judge is extremely powerful, equivalent to the prime minister. The scrivener was in charge of all the paperwork throughout the khanate. Taiyoshi means prince. Bai Hedan and Hao Yuanping are both confidants and descendants of Yilin Khan.

Ilyin Khan was fifty-five years old, an age in the prime of life for a ruler. Medium in stature, gentle in bearing, but not angry and mighty. At this time, he nodded, "Hmm." He walked over to the map hanging in the king's tent and groaned slightly.

The ancient tribe of Baye occupies the middle of the Mobei grassland, the most fertile grassland, and the forest area. The northwest is an ally to return to the Hui and occupy the area of the capital sowing mountain. To the east is the ally Tongluo, occupying Kulen. Nan is an ally of Xue Yan. Occupy the grasslands north of the Golden Mountains.

The enemy is on the periphery, the Khalkha people in the north around Lake Belga, and the servants in the Hulunbuir steppe in the east. To the southeast, it is the Chahar Department of Monan.

Obviously, the Bano Kobe needed the North Garden, which is located in the southwest, as a strategic buffer. This grassland can provide the four divisions with population, cattle and sheep, and soldiers.

However, the 100,000 coalition troops he sent conquered almost the entire Western Regions, and eventually grew to 200,000. However, in the Battle of Beishan in Guazhou, he was annihilated by the Zhou army.

Now, the Zhou army has even invaded the North Garden. He had to send another 80,000 troops from four coalition forces to Beiting for reinforcements.

The goal is to contact the Shatuo people and the Qarlu people, stabilize the situation in Beiting, and recuperate. On the steppe, after all, it is the cavalry battle! At the same time, the mission of Bano Koro is to kill the ungrateful and foolish Bano Kotoku!

Bai Hedan and Hao Yuanping walked to the map tacitly. Thinking about the future of the ancient Khanate together.

…

…

A few days later, a messenger arrived in the eastern part of the Junggar Basin, at the camp of the combined forces of the Baye Guxiaode and Shatuo people on the side of the Ulungu River, and delivered a letter from Baye Gukoro.

"Take him down!"

In the big tent, Baye Guxiaode ordered the messenger to be taken away, and summoned important figures of the coalition army to negotiate: the nobles of Tuyuhun Fu Zheng, the general of Hui Hui, Utlle, and the leader of the Shatuo people, Kubedu.

Utler groaned slightly.

Under the tent of Baye Gu Xiaode, he now has only 5,000 people. However, as a Hui general, since there were 20,000 Hui people among the 80,000 coalition troops who came, he was certainly qualified to command. Good birds choose trees to perch on!

Shatuo leader Hu Beidu is in his forties, with a pair of cunning little eyes, and said with a smile: "Chief Xiaode, this is your internal matter, I will not participate." Obviously, it was also Ling You's thoughts.

Fu Zhong is now a confidant of Baye Gu Xiaode, and he curses secretly in his heart, and he can't help but feel worried about the situation at this time.

In the front, there was the oppression of the Zhou army, and then there were reinforcements from Mobei to restrain and seize power. Now this coalition of 60,000 people is about to fall apart.

Although Baye Ko Xiaode has a beard, he looks very young, even a little naïve. smiled and said, "Leader of Kubedu, I can't say that it has nothing to do with you." It's still related. I'm going to see Bano Koro. But not empty-handed, but with Zhou Jun. ”

I heard that Po Shi of the Tongluo Department was sent back to "reinforce" Beiting. This is his chance. He has worked with Po Shi.

Fu Zhong, Kubeidu, and Utler were all surprised by Baye Gu Xiaode's words: It is impossible to form an alliance with the Zhou army! Didn't you see that Zhou Jun issued an order to kill Hu? In other words, they will not make peace with the four tribes of Bano Ko.

So what is the plan of filial piety?

…

…

The eighth day of July. Naryn City.

The city of Naryn, located on the Silk Road branch line, has a population of only 30,000. Instead of calling it a city, it's better to call it a town.

The afternoon sun fell on the low, rudimentary earthen walls, glowing with spots. The flag of the Turgish flutters in the autumn wind. On the surface of the Pearl River, the waves are sparkling. All the pictures carry the tranquility and slowness of the town.

In the fur shop on the street outside the city, Guo Wei, the leader of the Guo family's caravan, and his business partner Khaltchenko drank tea and chatted.

The speed of the caravan was naturally not comparable to that of the army. Today, thousands of miles away, Pang Ze had just arrived in the Protector Country, and Shen Qian was preparing to attack the Yue Clan.

After bidding farewell to Jia Huan, Guo Wei arrived at the city of Naren, about 500 miles away, on the second day of the seventh month. He stopped here. Sell or exchange for a batch of goods.

Because, according to the original plan, they will go north to Shattered Leaf City, and then turn to Hengros City. However, they now had to travel west, through the Ferghana Basin (i.e., Ningyuanguo), to Samarkand, to inquire about the Shi family for Jia Envoy.

Of course, tea and silk are both hot sellers there.

Kharchenko was a Turgish, with a forehead wipe and a mink coat, and was very talkative, and said: "Lao Guo, you are a little late this year!" Alas, now Naren's business is getting worse and worse. ”

Guo Wei drank tea and explained: "We came around Khotan this year. I brought a few pieces of fine Hetian jade. Be prepared to sell for a good price. He smiled and asked, "What's a bad practice?" ”

"Ha, Lao Guo, you Han people are ruthless! Shule Jing slightly made Jia Huan! He issued an order to kill Hu, not to mention, but also sent caravans to preach everywhere. The month before, I had a caravan of Han Chinese here. You know what? They can honor the order to kill Hu.

I heard that a horse thief came from the north court with the heads of the four divisions of the ancient Bano Dynasty. Gee.... Hundreds.

I heard that on the Silk Road, the merchants of the four tribes of Bayegu, Huifu, Tongluo, and Xue Yan have been gradually cut off. None of the great Sogdian slave merchants in the river dared to take the Silk Road in Anxi.

Alipov, you know, right? The richest merchant in the river. The family property has more than 10 million silver dollars. When he fled back to the river from the North Garden, he passed by Broken Leaves, and the news came. ”

Guo Wei listened extremely comfortably in his heart. There are powerful people in my clan, who are doing business on this Silk Road, and it is very glorious to say that they are my kindred! With honor!

He didn't show half a point on his face, and said with a smile: "Where is it so exaggerated, I'm afraid it's still the impact of the war!" There are wars in the north courtyard and in the river. I heard that the princess of Mobei, Uniri, has arrived in Broken Leaves. I'm afraid you're going to get involved. ”

"Isn't it?"

Speaking of the war, both sighed.

On the tenth day of the seventh month, Guo Wei led a caravan to leave the city of Naren and head west to the Ferghana Basin. However, he did not know what was waiting for him where.

…

…

The war in the North Court is in full swing, and the wife of Baye Gu Xiaode, Uniri, is facing the problem of how to persuade the Fengde Khan of Turgish to send troops.

On the 10th day of the seventh month, when Guo Wei led the caravan westward, Uniri was summoned by Fengde Khan in Broken Leaf City.
