Chapter 402: The Graveyard of Empires

After the bloodbath in Barihei, Yang Feng left 10,000 allied troops to garrison in this dilapidated city, after all, this is also his flank, and it is definitely not possible to leave the army to defend, with these 10,000 people, even if the big cannibal suddenly attacks, it is enough to hold it in a short time, and he led 50,000 main forces, including the Tang army, to the east to attack Kunduz, or the name at this time......

Curb the change of cities.

Three days later.

"Why are we besieging and not attacking?"

In the warm spring-like tent, Bai Xiaode humbly asked for advice.

This way, he is almost a fan of Yang Feng's brain, this guy who is a lot younger than himself is simply too insidious and vicious, too vicious and cruel, too ......

In short, it makes him worship!

Of course, the main thing is to follow Yang Feng so that his wealth is expanding at an astonishing speed, he has already sent gold, silver and jewelry to Qiuzi twice, the beauties can add up to a team, the BMW horses are almost enough for a horse farm, and the loss is insignificant, in fact, the Tang army has not fought since Kangju, all of them are servant troops desperately. Yang Feng is not stupid, he will definitely not do such a stupid thing as cannon fodder without using his own army, the Tang army is almost all arrayed as a deterrent, and then drives the Sogdian troops to sweep the city, and the turkish cavalry to sweep the periphery. Therefore, the 3,000 Tang troops who followed Bai Xiaode have not suffered any casualties except for more than 100 deaths in Kangju, and the armored cavalry of Broken Leaf has died a total of less than 50, such an exchange ratio is simply what all generals dream of, and this result is largely due to Yang Feng's cunning and cruel mind, and at this time he was amazed by the bravery and fearlessness of the Sogdian servant army.

Stressful is different.

Let those Zhaowu countries kill all the big cannibals and engrave a monument to commemorate, otherwise they will go to slaughter the city, this style is simply amazing, and the effect in exchange is also breathtaking, the Sogdians who have no way to retreat, in order to avoid the retreat of the Tang army, the big cannibals killed the Tiemen Pass and slaughtered their homeland, in the south of the Tiemen Pass, it can be said that they fought bloodily, and they killed a few more big cannibals in one mind, so as to strive for a sense of security in the future.

But in the city of curbing change, Yang Feng changed his style.

He no longer went into battle to open the city gates in a berserk style wherever he went, as before, and then let these hungry wolves in to wash the city, but played siege tactics in a serious way.

"Are we in a hurry?"

Yang Feng put down the parchment roll in his hand and said.

At this time, in this huge tent, in addition to Yang Feng and Bai Xiaode, there are all beauties, big food beauties, Sogdian beauties, and there are actually two Mediterranean-style, surrounded by candlelight, a stove with a copper chimney is blazing, these beauties are all wearing thin clothes, one by one lazily or lying or kneeling on the felt covered with bear skin, and some are even disheveled......

In other words, there is really no rush in this life.

"Of course, there's still a lot of land to the south waiting for us to grab, uh, to reclaim it!"

Bai Xiaode said.

"No, no, we won't go to the south, at least not this time, this time we need to do just clean up the Tocharian area, so we have enough time, surround it here, and then scatter the army to clean the surroundings, and by the way, attract other big cannibals from all over the world to come to the rescue, they are scattered in the mountains and want to clean up It's very troublesome, but this is what they must be saved, as long as we besiege and not attack them, they will inevitably organize a rescue, and then we can easily wipe them out on the ground."

Yang Feng said.

He, of course, will not attack south.

What is the place to the south?

Graveyard of Empires!

He had no interest in touching the land that seemed to be cursed, and all the sad souls were watching him in the sky of the future! From the lobster soldiers of the empire on which the sun never sets, to the brave and fearless Soviet soldiers, to the American GIs who never look to death.

He didn't want an extra group of Tang Army soldiers in it.

Besides, what is there to rob in the poor mountains and bad waters of that place, at this time, it is estimated that he can't even eat enough, and his huge army is afraid that he won't be able to grab enough food to rob in the past, so is it difficult to eat those mountain people? Anyway, the sheep they raised were definitely not enough for 50,000 hungry wolves. Kunduz is a very good place, the climate here is warm and the water and grass are abundant, and it is only a three-day regular march from Termez, and the forced march will not take two days to arrive, his huge cavalry army can comfortably stay here, and there is a steady stream of supplies from the Zhaowu countries in the rear, first surround it for two months, and then talk about it, by the way, attract the tribes in the mountains to come out to rescue and then destroy it, and when it is about to leave, it will break the bloodbath in one fell swoop, and then you can go home full of gold, silver, jewelry and women.

"How important is this?"

Bai Xiaode said in disbelief.

"General, Ningyuan's cavalry captured a group of Tibetan merchants who came from the Green Ridge."

That's when an officer came in to report.

"What are they transporting? Salt and armor? ”

Yang Feng asked.

"Yes, the general really knows everything, these Tibetan merchants transport all musk and salt and armor, and those armors are extremely strong, not even inferior to the Mingguang armor of our inner estate."

The officer said.

"You know why this place is important now, right?"

Yang Feng said to Bai Xiaode.

This is an important town on the salt road parallel to the Silk Road, no matter what the reason, you must know that at this time West Asia and Central Asia really did not know how to produce salt, and one of their important sources of salt was actually distant Tibet, a trade route from Tibet through Ali to the Pamir Plateau, through Kabul and then to Kunduz, for Tochar, that is, Afghanistan, Hezhong, and even Khorasan and other places to bring salt from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, these salts are dug out from the mysterious Zhangxiong Salt Lake, Carried on the backs of those poor goats, it was transported through thousands of miles of lofty mountains across the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Pamir Plateau......

It is no wonder that Yang Feng's boiled salt is so popular, and if you look at this terrifying transportation route, you can see how the people of Central Asia cheered for him.

It's actually not just here.

Even the southern side of the Himalayas, especially Nepal and other places, rely on the salt on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to sustain life, rather than relying on the nearby sea water of the Bay of Bengal.

This is too provocative of his intelligence.

In addition to salt, there is also the precious spice musk, which can even be exported to Europe, and what is even more speechless is that the big cannibal actually buys armor from Tibet at a high price......

It's a slap in the face.

Especially to slap those Arab blows in the face.

And this salt is the most indispensable thing for the tribes in the surrounding mountains, and Kunduz is also the only point of transportation of this salt out of the Pamirs, and those mountain people who rely on the mountains to hold on must retake this city that is a matter of life and death, otherwise they will have no salt to eat. In addition, at this time, except for the oasis areas on the south bank of the Amu Darya River, most of the surrounding mountainous areas in Afghanistan have not completed the Great Eclipse, but only some conquered tribes of all sizes, so as long as they show strong enough military power, they may be forced to join the coalition camp.

Let's say let them return to the Persian banner.

In fact, Yang Feng was already thinking about changing places for the future governor of Persia.

Kunduz, for example, is good.

The Persian Governorate was stationed in Kunduz, and the Kangju Governorate was set up in Samarkand, one blocked the iron gate and the other blocked the Wakhan Corridor, just forming two peripheral fortresses for the Tang Dynasty, serving as the front line to resist the big cannibals when defending, and acting as a logistics base when attacking, after Gao Xianzhi broke through Lianyunbao and Feng Changqing conquered Dabolu, the Pamir Plateau has been re-controlled by the Tang army, and from Anxi you can directly transport materials here through the Wakhan Corridor. It is better to let them not have the courage to worry about this area for a few years, and then let the Persian governor here play the banner of Persian restoration, and continue to recruit rebels in the old territories of the Sassanid Empire, that is, they can gradually squeeze the power of the Great Cannibals.

Then in the short term, Yang Feng can ignore this side.

And then there will be a civil war within Da Shi, which can win a window for him to solve An Lushan.

He can even hook up with the monarch of the Great Eater.

You have to understand that, Abu. Mu Si Lin is also the enemy of the Great Food Monarch to some extent, Khorasan is actually equivalent to the domain town of the Great Food, and it is a domain town that is strong enough to influence the emperor's choice, Yang Feng beat the Khorasan army violently is also to solve the hidden danger for the Great Food Emperor, Abu. Mu Silin relied on force to change two emperors and a dynasty for this empire, and there is no emperor who is not afraid of such a minister, if he continues to target the Khorasan Legion next, then someone will definitely stab the Khorasan Legion behind him.

At one point, he and the Great Food Emperor are natural allies.

In this way, the Tocharian region, with Kunduz as the core, is important.

What's more, it can also block the trade routes of the Tibetan people.

This is also important.

In the final analysis, Da Shi is not the number one strong enemy of Datang, Tubo is, and any opportunity to weaken Tubo cannot be missed.

"This place, this place better not be ruined!"

Yang Feng muttered to himself.

"Well, General, what should those Tibetan merchants do?"

The officer next to him asked cautiously.

"Tibetan merchants? Killed, of course killed, all the Tibetan merchants who appeared on this route in the future, whether they left the Green Ridge or returned to the Green Ridge, they will be killed without any stay! ”

Yang Feng said without hesitation.
