"Emir, it's true, the most wise jurist in Kashgar, Hamidiya, personally followed the Shangtaohuashi people to the Yache Oasis, and saw countless wheat fields that had been harvested on both sides of the Nanlunling River, and also saw mountains of wheat in the Yache City!"

Sanjar, who had arrived in Kashgar, leaned against a pile of blankets with his eyes half-closed. I really suffered enough along the way, and the whole person lost weight, and I didn't completely recover from going down the plateau to Kashgar City. Now I am tired and sleepy, my brain is still aching for a while, I am not dizzy a few times in front of me, my eyelids are heavy, it seems that I have to sleep well, and then eat a really cooked, hot food, it is possible to recover.

But he couldn't sleep now! As soon as he arrived in Kashgar, Aslan Khan, who had gone out of the city to meet his army, told him a very terrible news - the army of Shangtaohuashi had actually cultivated and sown seeds in the Yache Oasis, and had already harvested a season of wheat.

Hundreds of thousands of acres of wheat harvested in one season, enough for an army of 100,000 people to eat and drink for a year!

Hearing the news, where can Sanjar still sleep! He had the urge to get up and go back to Herat at once.

How can these infidels do this? They are noble warriors! A warrior should be accompanied by a sword and a horse! How can you farm? This is disrespectful, there is no chivalry at all, and the warriors of the Heavenly Sect would rather fight the crusaders than fight against this group of unprofessional peach blossom stone farmer knights.

But that's not the only bad news!

"In addition, there are about 20,000 or 30,000 Khitan elites stationed in Datulu Atidaban Pass......"

"What!?" Sanjar, who was a little languishing and lazily nesting, sat up straight all of a sudden. "Ahmad, are you sure they are Khitans?"

"Of course it's the Khitans! The Datulu Atidaban Pass is the choke point leading to Balasagon, and now Balasagon has fallen into the hands of the hateful Khitan heretics, and the pagan army from Balasagon is of course the Khitans......"

"Damn it!" Sanjar stood up suddenly, circled around the soft carpet a few times, and then turned his head sharply, staring at the lion Khan who had been "already imprisoned" with sharp eyes, "Have you been in contact with those Khitans?" Do you know what their intentions are? ”

"No, no, no contact with ......"

It should be said that I haven't been in contact yet!

After Hamidiyah returned to Kashgar, Aslan Khan did not let his old man take a breath, so he sent him as an envoy to Balasagon - since the Song Dynasty did not allow him to retire in Kashgar, then the Liao Dynasty might have a better offer, right?

In order to persuade the Khitans to protect him, the lion Khan, who was about to turn into a poodle, he made a bloody investment and took out the most precious treasure of Kashgar, his beautiful daughter Dilinazha, and prepared to dedicate it to the master of the desert and grassland, the Great Liao Emperor Yelu Yanxi...... Yelu Yanxi is also wronged enough, inexplicably became one of the most vicious enemies of the Heavenly Fang Sect, and now there are still people who send him women, and I don't know if he can see him in the end?

By the way, this Princess Dilinaza has a high nose bridge, big eyes, melon seed face, a little cherry mouth, skin as white as milk, and her figure is neither fat nor thin, graceful and plump. If it is really sent to Yelu Yanxi's palace, I am afraid that it will squeeze a few girls surnamed Xiao to keep empty tents day and night.

Of course, you can't tell Sanjar about sending her daughter, what if Sanjar wants one too? Sanjar already has four wives (female slaves do not occupy the quota of wives, but Aslan Khan's daughters do not give Sanjar a female slave), and the quota is full, so you can't tempt him to make mistakes. Moreover, Aslan Khan only has a beautiful daughter, if it is given to Sanjar, Yelu Yanxi will be gone, and if the Khitan Emperor is angry, the Qarakhanid Dynasty will have no way to survive at all.

"Then send an envoy over quickly!" Sanjar didn't care about any diplomatic etiquette, and directly said to Aslan Khan in a commanding tone, "No matter what, we must stabilize the Khitans...... Even if you are a vassal to those Buddhists, you have to hold them down!

And don't forget to send troops to mount the defenses! ”

"The envoys and the garrison have been dispatched. In addition, the Khitans in the Datulu Atidaban Pass are relatively calm...... Didn't show much hostility. ”

Sanjar breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself: Maybe these Khitans just arrived at the Tulu Atidaban Pass to take advantage of the chaos. I heard that the Song people in the peach blossom stone and the Khitan people in the peach blossom stone are feuding! They must not be willing to let a rich city like Kashgar fall into the hands of the Song people of Shangtaohuashi......

"As long as the Khitans can be stabilized," Sanjar pondered, "tens of thousands of enemies on the Peach Blossom Stone can still be defeated!" ”

He glanced at Lion Khan, who had also stood up, bent down slightly, and had a flattering smile on his face, "I have brought 13,000 Ghulam warriors, 7,000 knights from Ghazni, Sigistan, Bukhara and Gul, 5,000 Persian mercenaries, and more than 10,000 auxiliaries, enough to defeat the enemy in Peach Blossom Stone."

However, they had just crossed the Pamir Mountains, and they were sleepy and needed at least ten days of rest to recover. Now you can send someone to the camp of the Peach Blossom Stone people to fight and ask them to fight a decisive battle on the steppe north of the Chakmak River in ten days! ”

Although the situation is not very favorable, Emir Sanjar is still confident of victory. Because he brought with him as many as 13,000 Ghulam warriors. This is a very terrifying force, enough to crush a powerful country in the Celestial Sect world!

……

The arrival of Sanjar in Kashgar with a large army was of course observed by the Song army on the other side of the Kyakmak River!

A huge watchtower had been erected in the city of the Lion Prison, and a military machine with a telescope stood on it to witness the reinforcements of the Turks coming from the southwest.

"More than 30,000 people, almost all cavalry!"

In the Lion Prison City, Zhang Yuan was listening to the report of the military Ji Yi in the big tent of the Chinese army, and then glanced at Zhao Zhongshun and Ma Zheng who were sitting on both sides.

"Coming from afar, and crossing the green mountains, although it is a tired division, it must be an elite soldier!" Ma Zheng said, "Otherwise, they wouldn't have come!"

Now our army has enough food and grass, and the enemy must be short of food and grass. Therefore, our army is good for a long time, and the enemy army is good for speed. It's better to confront the enemy by the Lion Prison City and the Chakmak River! ”

Zhao Zhongshun shook his head and said, "The thieves have come from afar, there are many cavalry, and there is not enough food, how can they confront me for a long time?" They would inevitably seek shallow places along the Chakmak River to cross the river, then go around to the flanks of our troops, and approach the Yache Oasis in order to lure our troops out of the camp for field battle.

For the sake of today's plan, it is still necessary to show weakness by retreating with the main force, to lure the thieves with a partial division to defend the lion prison city, and to harass and plunder its fields with the Liang cavalry in the west, so that it is in a dilemma and is exhausted. That's the way to go. ”

In fact, the suggestions of the two of them have their own calculations. Ma Zheng's plan was to fight a decisive battle with the Turkic-Eastern Qarakhanid coalition forces along the Chakmak River. Or half-cross, or just fight a battle in the wasteland.

This is what the PTZ military science is good at - the PTZ military science takes the technical route, and does not emphasize strategy, but pays attention to fighting tough battles, especially tough battles in the field.

And Zhao Zhongshun now wants to fight a clever battle, avoid a tough decisive battle as much as possible, and it is best to lure the enemy around the Lion Prison City. Then they maintained contact without a decisive battle, as the nomadic cavalry did most often, attacking the opponent by delaying, harassing, and plundering logistics. They are in a dilemma, undersupplied, and exhausted.

Finally, take advantage of the opportunity that the enemy can't stand it and start to retreat to pursue. With the cooperation of heavy cavalry and light cavalry, they constantly crushed the enemy's rearguard and created an atmosphere of panic and forced the enemy into a rout.

The reason why he wanted to fight like this was not because he was worried that Ma Zheng's method would not win, but because he wanted to lose a little less strength.

Don't look at the strength of the Hexi Army now, whether it is the Iron Harrier Cavalry or the Xiliang Cavalry, they are all at their peak. If you want to compare combat effectiveness, probably only the Western Xia army in the Yuan Hao era can compare.

However, the Hexi Road itself did not have the ability to support the Hexi Army, and neither the financial resources nor the population were enough to maintain and replenish the Hexi Army. Therefore, the Hexi Army is an army that lacks stamina, and once the existing forces are exhausted, then it will all be finished.

Of course, the final decision is in the hands of Zhang Yuan! This kind of feeling that with 100,000 tigers in hand, one word can decide the rise and fall of a country!

"Just follow Zhao Tongjun's strategy!" Zhang Yuan quickly made a decision, and he also had his own calculations.

Although the Hexi Army is a Western thief with a different brand, it is still nominally the armed forces of the Great Song Dynasty! If the Hexi Army could really cross the Green Ridge and enter Tianzhu after defeating the Qarakhanid Dynasty as the Great Sect hoped, then the Great Song Dynasty would be able to surpass the Han and Tang Dynasties on the territory.

Now the nominal territory of the Great Song Dynasty is already very scary, and the territory that originally belonged to the Western Xia was basically incorporated into the Great Song Dynasty. The map on the Qinghai Road also went all the way to the border of the Qarakhanid Dynasty.

On the Western Regions, the Uighurs of Gaochang had become the Beiting Protectorate, which was also the territory of the Great Song Dynasty. And the Eastern Qarakhanid was about to perish. Although the Khitans intervened and took Broken Leaf Town. However, the three towns of Shule, Khotan, and Qiuci have all entered the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and this credit for opening the border is also regarded as a great martial art in history.

If the Hexi army can still take advantage of the situation to enter Tianzhu and take the territory of the Chalvand Dynasty that has been shattered. So how did the Great Song Dynasty surpass the Han and Tang Dynasties, right?

And the credit for this opening up of thousands of miles, isn't it his chapter to help the first? This is a great achievement that will go down in history!

When Zhang Yuan was proud, a voice came from outside the big tent: "Great Teaching, Kashgar City has sent a messenger, and he is here to write a war letter!" ”

"War book?" Zhang Yuan laughed and looked at Zhao Zhongshun and Ma Zheng, "It seems that the captives are really conducive to quick battles, and the soldiers have just crossed the Green Ridge, so they hurriedly came to the battle book!" But the official is not in a hurry at all...... Beat it out with a stick! ”
