Needless to say, the emergency military report in the northwest must be related to the great cause of the Hexi Army's westward expedition!

In the past six years since the founding of the Yasukuni Dynasty, the Hexi Army has been making various preparations for the westward expedition and land expansion. After the establishment of the Metropolitan Military Machinery Division, the news of the preparations for the Hexi Army's westward expedition was also reported to the Metropolitan Military Machinery Division from time to time by the military machine room of the Xuanfu Envoy Division of the Northwest Third Road.

As the main preparation for the Hexi Army's westward expedition, Zhao Zhongshun (Chage) invaded the territories of the Yellow Uighurs and Yellow Tatars last summer, conquering more than a dozen nomadic tribes and opening the way from the southern Qinghai Road into the eastern part of the Khotanese region ruled by the Qarakhanids.

The so-called yellow-headed Uighurs were actually the remnants of the Ganzhou Uighurs, who migrated to the western part of the Qinghai Road south of the Qilian Mountains after they were destroyed by Yuan Hao, which was later known as the Qaidam Basin. The yellow-headed Tatars, on the other hand, were part of the Nine Tatars, who were also nomadic in the Hexi Corridor and the western part of the Qinghai Road, and were much weaker than the Ganzhou Uighurs. Naturally, the defeated Ganzhou Uighurs could not be prevented from entering their territory as nomads.

However, due to the limited resources in the western part of the Qinghai Road, the yellow-headed Uighurs and yellow-headed Tatar tribes crowded there became more and more mixed, and now they are nothing more than nomadic savages, existing only as a buffer between Tibet, the Qarakhanid and Western Xia. It was not at all the opponent of the battle-hardened Hexi Army, so it was easily conquered by Zhao Zhongshun.

At the same time as opening up the western part of the Qinghai Road, the Hexi army also used a part of the borrowed 2 million yuan to purchase hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep from the Qingtang, Beihetao (Khitan rule), Gaochang Uighurs, etc., and handed them over to the elite shepherds selected from the nomadic tribes of Hexi (in fact, the original party nomadic tribes) - these cattle and sheep will be used as military rations for the westward expedition, and accompany the Hexi army to the land of Anxi.

The practice of using cattle and sheep as military food was not the preserve of the later Mongols, it was a skill that any steppe nomadic tribe mastered.

And the half-pastoral and half-settled party members, of course, did not completely forget the ability of their ancestors. Faced with a long journey of two or three thousand miles, it was of course impossible to advance with food, and the western part of Qinghai Road and the Uighurs in Gaochang did not have enough capacity to supply the army.

Therefore, driving cattle and sheep with the army has become the only solution.

In addition, the envoys of the Hexi Army also frequently traveled between Liangzhou (the Jiedu envoy of the Hexi Army had moved to Liangzhou) and Gaochang.

An alliance against the Black Khan Uighurs (Qarakhanids) was formed in a very short time.

The so-called cold lips and teeth do not exist between the Uighurs of Gaochang and the Uighurs of Black Khan!

Although both countries have the name "Uighur", the name of the Black Khan Uighurs was called by the Han Chinese, and their own name was the Qarakhanid. The origin of the nation is the Qarluq and the Tama Turks, and they are somewhat related to the Uighurs, but they are not very close. In the early years, they were also culturally influenced by the Uighurs, using the Uighur script.

But since Satuk. After Bogra Khan converted to the Celestial Religion, the Qarakhanid was rapidly converted to the Celestial Religion, and even the writing became Turkic written in the Arabic alphabet, and the culture was also dominated by the Celestial Religion - Turkic culture. The last cultural connection with the Uighurs in Qocho was thus severed.

Moreover, after converting to the Celestial Sect, the Qarakhanid became the vanguard of the Celestial Sect's expansion of influence in Central Asia. With the blessing of the warriors from West Asia, the Qarakhanid Kingdom launched a crazy war of gods against the Khotanese Kingdom and the Gaochang Kingdom in the east, two predominantly Buddhist countries. Finally, during the reign of Taizong of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Kingdom of Khotan was destroyed, occupying most of the four towns of Anxi, and its king also called himself Taohuashi Khan.

In the process of destroying Khotan, both the Uighurs of Gaochang and the Northern Song Dynasty were firmly on the side of Khotan, and for this reason, they were called "vicious heretics" by the Qarakhanids.

The Guiyi Army, a "vicious heretic", had long since been annexed by the Western Xia, and the remaining Uighurs of Gaochang and the Qarakhanid State had engaged in a century-long low-intensity conflict - not that the Qarakhanid did not have the strength to push down the Qachang, but that they feared a direct war with the Khitan and Western Xia behind the Qocho Uighurs.

Even in the heyday of the Qarakhanid, coupled with the blessings of the West Asian gods and fighters, it was probably impossible to defeat Yuan Hao's Western Xia, let alone against a super power like the Khitan......

By now, the Qarakhanid state has long since weakened and divided into two parts, the eastern and western ones, and the Western Qarakhanid state was conquered by the Seljuk Turks seventeen or eighteen years ago and became a vassal. The Eastern Qarakhanids, centered on Barasagon and Kashgar, remained independent, but did not have enough strength to resist the invasion of the Hexi Army.

Therefore, when the news of the annexation of the Great White High Kingdom by the Taohuashi State reached Barasagon, the Khan court of the Eastern Qarakhanid State immediately became vigilant. A large number of spies were sent to Hexi and Gaochang, and an attempt was made to send a mission to Kaifeng Province - the mission, of course, was robbed by the Hexi army and did not reach Kaifeng Province. And this killing in the northwest desert is equivalent to kicking off the war.

And today's urgent military report delivered by the Military Aircraft Division (which is also part of the post station transmission system) to the Military Aircraft Division is related to the follow-up reaction to the killing.

……

Wu Haogu returned to the Military Aircraft Division of the Capital, and as soon as he entered the middle hall, he saw that Zhang Shuye, the military aircraft of the Tongzhi Capital, was already waiting there.

Zhang Shuye served as the military envoy of Tongzhidu with civilian resources, which can be regarded as a civil and military system with martial arts. However, he is not a civilian official who knows nothing about military affairs, in fact, he also participated in the Military Academy Department presided over by Murong Wangwu in his early years. I also know about "new military science", so I am still very competent......

However, using civilian resources as the chief officer of the military aircraft department of the capital still made Wu Haogu feel some hidden dangers, maybe this is how the Privy Council in the early years fell into the hands of civilian officials step by step!

Zhang Shuye and Wu Haogu are also old acquaintances, but the relationship is not very good, the two sides have fought secretly for the Jiehe Commercial City a few times, if it weren't for Wu Haogu's backstage is too hard, the Jiehe Commercial City would not have developed into what it is now.

In addition, Zhang Shuye's cousin Zhang Kegong is the imperial history with the most martial arts in the Imperial History Terrace! Therefore, it has also been made into a model new army supervisor and military envoy by Wuhao Gukeng, and it has almost become synonymous with an officialdom tragedy.

Zhang Kegong turned out to be supervising the imperial history! Officials in this position can be easily promoted, and perhaps a piece of music that suits the taste of the Son of Heaven can become a Zhongshu Sheren or a Hanlin Scholar.

But now he has become a prisoner...... It sounds like a eunuch's job! What the future of officialdom will be, you can imagine.

Looking at Wu Haogu who was sitting at the top, Uncle Zhang didn't feel close to him, but got straight to the point.

"Urgent report from the Northwest Marshal Division, the Black Khan Uighurs have asked for help from the Turkic states! The urgent newspaper also said that this Turkic country is a Western power, with thousands of miles of land and millions of armor, not under the Khitan! ”

The Northwest Shuai Division is Gao Yu's Hexi, Shuofang, and Anxi Three Road Xuanfu Envoys. Nominally, both the Hexi Army and the Shuofang Army were under his control, as were the Anxi Dadu Protector (Zhao Qianshun held this position) and the Anxi Great Religious Regiment.

Therefore, the emergency military situation in the northwest was reported through the general military engine room of the Northwest Commander's Department -- a rigorous and efficient military order system, which was also particularly emphasized by Wu Haogu. Skipping command and reporting to a higher level is not allowed in the regulations of the Military Aircraft Department.

Wu Haogu sat steadily in the top seat, not surprised by the latest military newspaper in the slightest.

It was not surprising that the Black Khan Uighurs would ask Seljuk's father for help.

At this time, Zhang Zhifeng, the military intelligence room of the Quan Fa Dispatch, had already walked into the middle hall with a copy of the military newspaper, and handed the copy to Wu Haogu with both hands.

The Military Intelligence Office is one of the institutions directly under the Military Aircraft Department, and its main responsibility is to collect and analyze military intelligence. is in charge of Zhang Zhifeng, because Zhang Zhifeng's official rank is too low, so he added the name of personal power to dispatch.

Wu Haogu took the copy of the military newspaper and opened it and read it, it turned out to be the information transferred by the general army engine room of the Hexi Army and the Great Education Regiment through the general army machine room of the Northwest Marshal Division.

The Hexi Army's spies in Kashgar learned the exact information that the Eastern Qarakhanid had sent an envoy to Isfa Khan to call for help. An overview of the Seljuk Empire was also attached...... It's a bit exaggerated, what to say with a million, a thousand generals, and a fertile land.

"Ready to fly, I have to send a hair!" Wu Haogu closed the military newspaper and smiled, "Besides, this is to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, even if it becomes a wolf to feed the tiger, there is nothing." At least we can take back Hexi Road! Why not? ”

Wu Hao Gucai did not believe that the Seljuk Turks could swallow the two brothers Zhao Qianshun and Zhao Zhongshun.

According to the report of the General Army Machine Room of the Northwest Commander's Division, under the effect of 2 million usury, the Hexi Army has now recovered.

The number of Iron Harriers reached 3,000, and the original garrison was changed to light cavalry (the military name was also called the garrison), and the number also reached 20,000 people. In addition, the Hexi Army also recruited an elite heavy infantry imitating the Shuofang Xinfu soldiers in Guasha Prefecture, called the Breaking Formation Army, with a total strength of 20,000 people.

Just these 43,000 soldiers, the strength is already much stronger than the historical Yelu Dashi!

Moreover, the Great Sect has now organized 2,000 heavy cavalry (Gao Yu provided part of the troops) and nearly 10,000 infantry.

Added together, the soldiers of the Western Expedition alone have reached 55,000, and with the addition of auxiliary soldiers, the total number is no less than 100,000.

"Having said that," Uncle Zhang said, "aren't you afraid that once the Hexi army is defeated, the Turkic army will be in the Hexi Corridor?" ”

He paused, "Brother Chongdao, even if you're not afraid!" Will the rulers of the two governments not consider this? Will the officials not take into account the Turkic threat? Don't replace the party wolf with a Turkic tiger, then there will be no peace in the northwest! ”

"Don't be afraid!" Wu Haogu said with a smile, "There is Gao Xuanshuai in the northwest, what's so terrible?" Otherwise, let Gao Xuanshuai supervise the westward expedition, so that he is not afraid that he will not be able to defeat the Turkic country. ”

"Gao Xuanshuai has always been sick," Uncle Zhang looked at Wu Haogu with a smile, "He has been recommending you to be the Northwest Xuanshuai!" ”
