Shattered Leaf City.

Compared with the nearby military capital of the Eastern Qarakhanid Dynasty, Barasagon came and went, the scene of various tribes gathering. In the past, this former Anxi Xiongcheng is indescribably desolate and desolate.

Shattered Leaf City and Barasagon can be regarded as two urban districts of the same city in the strict sense. The distance between the two places is very close, only a few dozen miles away. It is on the bank of a big river called the Broken Leaf River, thirty or forty miles to the south is the western foot of the continuous Tianshan Mountain Range, more than 100 miles to the northeast is also a remnant of the Tianshan Mountains, and more than 100 miles to the east is also a continuous Tianshan Mountain. Therefore, the two places of Broken Leaf and Barasagon are located at the mouth of the trumpet of a huge trumpet-shaped valley.

During the Tang Dynasty's reign in this valley, Shattered Leaf City was the center of the Shattered Leaf River Valley, with the tiger standing on the side of the Tianshan Mountains and the endless grassland desert to the northwest. The southwest is also a high-rise Tianshan-shaped resort in Central Asia. Due to the continuous flow of snowmelt into the Broken Leaf River in the Tianshan Mountains, the water and grass in the Broken Leaf River Valley are abundant and beautiful, and it is suitable for farming and grazing. Moreover, the nearby slopes of the Tianshan Mountains are also densely vegetated and the products are very rich. From the beginning of the Tang Dynasty to the destruction of Western Liao by the Mongols, it was the foundation of the hegemony that could deter Central Asia!

As the core of the foundation of Central Asia's hegemony, it was in Broken Leaf City during the Tang Dynasty, and in the era of the rise of the Qarakhanid Dynasty in Central Asia, it moved to the small city of Barasagon near Broken Leaf City. After more than 200 years of continuous construction, Barasagon has become one of the largest cities in Central Asia. Shattered Leaf Castle was reduced to a castle attached to Barasagon.

The Hexi Expeditionary Army, which was commanded by Xiao Heda, was stationed in the almost deserted Broken Leaf City at this time. There are not many intact houses in the city, and the rammed earth city wall, which was built in the Tang Dynasty, has collapsed and broken in many places because of three or four hundred years of wind and rain. However, the area within the earthen wall is still not small, enough for Xiao Heda's army to camp inside.

At this time, Xiao Heda, a famous Khitan general who was famous in the party's Hexi Army, was standing on a relatively intact city gate tower, looking at the camp tents of the Khitan herdsmen scattered on the banks of the Broken Leaf River.

Although he had just led the army to a big victory that would go down in history, the Khitan general in his thirties still had a trace of melancholy between his eyebrows.

In the north wind, he pressed the corner of his cloak and watched as the herdsmen drove the cattle and sheep to graze the grass that had turned yellow, but he was silent for a long time.

From this group of Khitan clans who seemed strangers, Xiao Heda saw the spirit of hardship and hard work and fearlessness of strong enemies that the Khitan clans in Daliao had long had. To be sure, their force is not very strong, about the same as the Divination Blockers in the Great Liao, and probably a little worse than the Blocker Kereh Division.

However, after all, they have survived tenaciously for a hundred years under the oppression of the Qarakhanid Dynasty of the Heavenly Sect, and they have not lost their faith, and they have maintained the unique strength of the nomads. This is the hope of the Khitan people! Learning from the Han people can only make the Khitans weaker and weaker, and thus lose the vigor to conquer the steppe desert.

Of course, there are still merits in the military science of the Yuntai lineage. Now that the Hexi Army has reformed with reference to the Yuntai military science, its strength has been greatly improved.

However, the other systems of the Han family were not beneficial to the people of the grassland. The decline of the Khitan and the defeat of the party are all due to this!

But Yelu Dashi didn't understand this, the poison of his Zhongyuntai Academy Palace was too deep. Obviously leading a group of grassland herdsmen, he is bent on using the Yuntai Han system, and wants to turn these vigorous and wild grassland herdsmen into settled farmers and merchants.

30,000 herdsmen are armed enough to sweep the world, what is the use of 30,000 peasant merchants? It is nothing more than the soul of the steppe hero under the iron hooves or the obedient slave.

Behind him, stood several of the Iron Harrier's personal guards. These pro-soldier guards, nominally members of the Hexi Army, were actually confidants brought by Xiao Heda from the Liao State. Seeing that he had been standing for a long time, a bearded man stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Chief Military Aircraft, now that the weather is getting colder, it is impossible for the Qarakhanid people to fight back...... Broken Leaf Town has been taken by our Khitan! With this feat, the Chief Military Aircraft and Dr. Oishi will definitely be of great use to His Majesty. ”

Xiao Heda turned his head and twitched the corners of his mouth to smile: "This is considered to be won?" If you want to plunder away, this time you will get your wish. If you want to occupy it for a long time, it is just beginning! Besides, what Dr. Oishi (referring to Yelu Dashi) had in his heart was to establish a kingdom on his own in Broken Leaves......"

"A nation of its own?" The Khitan officer was stunned for a moment, "Isn't Dr. Dashi a member of the Khitan royal family?" How can you be disloyal to Da Liao and stand on your own feet in Broken Leaves? ”

Yelu Dashi and Xiao Heda still had a disagreement after all. Dashi wants to establish a country in Broken Leaves, and Xiao Heda wants to turn Broken Leaves into the territory of the Great Liao Kingdom - the Khitans who follow Xiao Heda also mean this! And the Khitans who followed Yelu Dashi and originally settled in Yemili only knew Dashi, not Yanxi!

At this time, under the city tower, several horsemen had already rushed straight from a distance. Inside and outside the city gates, there were people asking questions. The person who came just said loudly: "The Great Commander of Broken Leaves is here to see the military plane!" ”

Dozens of horsemen and horses, the wind swept through the layers of guards at the city gate, and reached the bottom of the gatehouse. The knights were surrounded by a young man with strong muscles, a handsome face, and a beard, who was none other than Yelu Dashi, who claimed to be the Grand Commander of Broken Leaves.

After Dashi got off the horse, someone told him where Xiao Heda was, so he walked up the stairs quickly, and when he arrived at the city tower, he saluted Xiao Heda: "I've seen a military plane!" ”

Xiao Heda returned the salute, waved his hand and ordered left and right: "You all retreat!" I have something to discuss with Dr. Oishi. ”

The officers and guards behind him all saluted and retreated. Above the city tower, there were only Yelu Dashi and Xiao Heda left. Yelu Dashi's face was full of smiles, and he asked, "Military plane, the weather is getting colder and colder, this Broken Leaf City is dilapidated, and there are no good houses, why don't you move into Barasagon...... In a word, a country with broken leaves, a republic for us! ”

Xiao Heda was silent, and after a while, he slowly shook his head: "When the spring is warm next year, we should lead the troops away......

Yelu Dashi raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "Gone?" ”

Xiao Heda nodded silently, and looked at the desolation in the distance, "The army under the command of Heda is finally made by Hexi Jiedu, and the Hexi Jiedu envoy can let Heda's generals come here, which is enough to repay the great kindness of Khitan...... But Hexi Jiedu made himself have to use soldiers...... According to the Lion Khan guarding Kashgar, although the defeat has been decided, the Hexi Jiedu envoys are not only looking forward to the two towns of Khotan and Shule, but the rich land of Tianzhu in the south is the homeland of the Hexi Jiedu envoys...... Dr. Dashi, if I go, I still have to rely on the Great Liao Kingdom here in Broken Leaf Town! ”

Yelu Dashi had a smile on his face, and said in a low voice: "How many people are left to break leaves, the main soldiers are not good, and the auxiliary soldiers are assembled, right?" It's a big deal, I'll recruit some more people to go with you. ”

Xiao Heda frowned and said, "Most of the auxiliaries in the Hexi Army are Han Chinese!" ”

Dr. Dashi seemed to smile: "Aren't all the Hexi army Han people?" In addition, this town of broken leaves was originally a town of the republican of the Khitans, Han Chinese, Uighurs, Turks, and Qarluqs, and Confucianism, Buddhism, Tianfangism, Manichaeism, and Nestorianism should also live in harmony here. ”

The republic of the five ethnic groups and the freedom of belief...... Sounds like progress! The boulder is about to become a big head!

However, his "republican" and "freedom" also illustrate his weakness, if he was not weak, he would have been king long ago!

"The republic of the five ethnic groups, the harmony of all religions......" Xiao Heda smiled faintly, "You are generous, but what about the Turks?" Can they spare your Broken Leaf Country? ”

Dashi smiled: "I just got the news that the Turkic Sultan Jaber is currently in the Gaznavid Kingdom south of Kashgar, and he can't come to Broken Leaf for the time being." ”

Xiao Heda was taken aback and grabbed the battlements of the city wall: "Dr. Dashi, where did you know?" ”

Because there were still many Qarakhanid people and merchants from all over Central Asia in the city of Barasagon, Xiao Heda and Dashi already knew a lot about the West through them. It is also known that the most powerful military force in the West now is the army of the Seljuk Turkic Sultan Jaber (in fact, he is not the Sultan).

The Jaber Sultan had not suffered defeat since he led his army independently, and under his conquest, the originally divided Seljuk kingdom was now gradually unified.

Moreover, the neighbor of the Eastern Qarakhanid Dynasty, the Western Qarakhanid, had a great battle with Jaber five years ago, and as a result, the Khan's life was lost!

If Jaber Sultan and Lion Khan join forces, the war in Ansi could be reversed at any time!

Xiao Heda looked at Yelu Dashi and asked word by word: "Doctor, is this letter confirmed?" ”

Yelu Dashi smiled: "The soldiers and horses of the Ten Thousand Households Han Dagou captured the Prime Minister of the Lion Khan, Yusufu, in Stone City, and he was sent by the Lion Khan to Isfahan for help, so he knows about the affairs of the Turkic State. ”

The old man Yusufu was really unlucky, and he asked for help in Isfahan to no avail, but he heard the news that Barasagon was attacked by the Khitans of Ye Mili. So he hurried back, trying to organize a counterattack. As a result, the war of the gods was called for in Stone Town (later Tashkent) in the northwest of the Ferghana Basin, and the ten thousand households sent by Yelu Dashi to attack the Han Dagou arrived.

And Yu Sufu, the old man, will not fight, and he will not defend the good stone city, but he will lead the army to attack. As a result, Han Dagou used a trick to lure Yu Sufu's soldiers and horses away from Stone City, and then encircled and annihilated - although Ye Mili's Khitan people were not elite, they were savage and simple, not afraid of death, and they were provided with weapons and equipment by Gao Changguo, as well as Han Dagou's professional command, of course, they were not comparable to the rabble recruited by Yu Sufu temporarily.

So Yu Sufu was arrested in Barasagon, and then he couldn't help but be scared to surrender, and confessed everything he knew about the situation of the Turkic country.
