The small Shule Oasis is located on the edge of a tributary of the Chakmak River, and in the early years, it was the stronghold of the Han and Tang Dynasty soldiers to reclaim the fields, and it was only a few dozen miles away from the Shule Oasis. After Shule fell into the hands of the Qarakhanids, it was given to several Iqtar knights and became their fiefdoms. However, the old man does not live in the small Shule oasis, but lives in the lively city of Kashgar for a long time. Therefore, the small Shule oasis has always been a quiet village, except for the Buddhist temple in the center of the oasis has become Tianfang Temple, which symbolizes that the land has changed owners, everything is no different from hundreds of years ago.

But now, this small oasis has once again become a place where Han warriors gather. Sandbags were erected at the edge of the oasis and trenches were dug. Carts carrying grain and patrolling cavalry all entered and exited through several gates of the sandbag wall. From time to time, a knight with a flag on his back rushed to him, shouting "military newspaper" one after another. The chariots and horses on the road cast eager glances while avoiding them.

The big guy has been bored in this Rausch Oasis for almost two months! I had been in the Yache Oasis for six or seven months, and in addition to practicing and farming, I could fade out of the birds. Seeing that the weather is getting cooler, is it possible that you are going to winter near Kashgar again? Would you like to sow a little wheat in Little Shule as well?

I thought that the battle of the Western Expedition would be a painful battle, but I didn't expect that the days would be spent in tedious marching, tuntian, fortification, and rigorous training day after day. Only the brothers who walked the Qinghai Road to the stone city that day got a lot of credit. Others only have hot eyes!

"When will it take to take Kashgar City?" The first general of the indoctrination regiment strode into the Tianfang Temple in the center of the oasis, which is now the location of the engine room of the Chinese army and the general army. "The Turks and Qarakhanids are really calm, and they haven't moved at all in autumn!"

"Then let's consume it slowly!" Liu Long raised his head from a pile of official documents, he is now the deputy military aircraft of the engine room of the general army of the Anxi Army (the army led by Zhang Yuan and Zhao Zhongshun is called the Anxi Army), assisting Ma Zheng in handling daily chores.

He watched his old classmate Yu Tongdao take the tea bowl from an auxiliary soldier and take a few sips, then took a wet hand towel to wipe the sweat and dust on his face, and said with a smile: "It's still hard to train the soldiers, right?" Why don't we change it, you will be the deputy military aircraft, and I will lead the troops. ”

"Don't even think about it!" Yu Tongdao wiped his face and said with a smile, "Don't think I haven't worked on the deputy military machine, the deputy military machine is a stone butt, you can't get up when you sit down, and all kinds of copywriting are annoying to death."

Liu Long smiled bitterly: "Isn't it, now the general army engine room of the Xuanfu Division is still coming to add to the chaos, and a letter is issued, asking us to try our best to take Kashgar this autumn and enter Tianzhu...... It is also necessary to make a big Zhang Guowei in Tianzhu and pull a few more small states in Tianzhu to be a vassal country. ”

"How many subjects are Dora? What does Gao Xuanshuai want to do? Yu Tongdao was a little puzzled.

"Who knows?" Liu Long shook his head. "It's dark over there in Tianzhu, where can I find a subject country? And it's not us who are waiting to enter Tianzhu, it's the territory of the Hexi Army. When they entered Tianzhu, the Hexi Army would be the Tianzhu Army. When the time comes, we should go back to Hexi! ”

"Back to Hexi?" Yu Tongdao shook his head and said, "Maybe it's the Huijie River." ”

The current Anxi Army is actually a partnership in three aspects, one is the civilian forces of the New Party headed by Zhang Yuan, and due to the formation and training of the New Army and the organization of the Anxi Great Education Corps, the civil and military boundaries of the Northern Song Dynasty have been somewhat blurred.

Originally, the rule that civilian officials did not take charge of the army but only the imperial generals was loosened, and the current training of the Hedong New Army was run by Tao Jiefu, and among the eighteen generals of the Hedong New Army that have been organized and trained, four of them will be directly governed by the Hedong Xuanfu Division.

In the Great Education Corps, Zhang Yuan, the great teacher, simply went directly to the front line and did the work of the capital manager. Among the two generals and the 2,000 knights owned by the Great Sect, a considerable number of them have been directly controlled by Zhang Yuan!

After having an army, the territory is the next thing that Zhang Yuan wants to get his hands on. For this reason, from the occupation of the Yache Oasis last year to the present, Zhang Yuan has been negotiating with Zhao Zhongshun and Ma Zheng (on behalf of Wu Haogu) to distribute the fruits of victory.

According to the negotiated agreement. After the Anxi Army successfully invaded Tianzhu, Zhao Qianshun would resign from the Hexi Jiedu envoy and recommend Zhang Yuan to stay in the Jiedu, that is, the states and counties to which the Hexi Army belonged were transferred to Zhang Yuan's jurisdiction.

Regardless of whether Zhang Yuan will build an independent kingdom in Hexi, just taking all the credit for Hexi from the hands of the "Western Thieves" is enough to make him a very important minister of the Great Song Dynasty in the future!

Zhang Yuan will recommend Zhao Qianshun to serve as the envoy of the three towns of Congling, Bolu and Anxi, and the ambassador of Tianzhu Xuanfu. Although he lost his headquarters in Hexi, Zhao Qianshun could still take hundreds of thousands of "Han" tribesmen from Hexi. You can even collect all the elites in Hexi and take them all to Tianzhu to be the master.

In the future, you can even be the emperor again in Tianzhu!

As for the Great Enlightenment Group, of course, there are also gains. What the Great Sect can get is a academy, a Buddhist temple, and a Taoist temple with a territory.

Whether it was the Hexi Road under the rule of Zhang Yuan, or the Anxi, Leng Ling, Bolu and Tianzhu territories ruled by Zhao Qianshun, they must have implemented layers of feudal feudal system. The system of a bureaucratic empire like the Great Song Dynasty could not have been implemented in a place where the land was barren and the transportation was unchanged.

And the feudal lord is not necessarily a "natural person", but can also be a academy, a temple, or a Taoist temple. Of course, there will also be Tianfang Temple that supports the reunification of the motherland and loves Zhao Daguan's family to be enshrined.

In the Anxi, Lengling, Bolu and Tianzhu territories, people who believe in various religions and belong to different nationalities are all equal......

And this kind of academy, temple and Taoist temple with fiefdom and people is also a restriction on the separatist tendencies of Zhao Qianshun and Zhao Zhongshun's brothers.

These academies, temples and Taoist temples are not fiefs received from the brothers Zhao Qianshun and Zhao Zhongshun, but the partners of Zhao Qianshun and Zhao Zhongshun!

They are loyal to their respective superior temples, Taoist temples, and doctors' groups!

And Chen Jian, Yu Tongdao, Liu Long and Xue Ding can choose to follow Zhang Yuan and become the general of the Hexi Army, or they can choose to return to Jiehe Shang City and become the high-level of the Great Doctor Regiment.

"Report ......" A small colonel who dragged out his voice and had a cavalry flag behind him ran in, and stood up in front of Liu Long and Yu Tongdao and gave a military salute, "Deputy Liu, General Yu Zheng." The Lion Prison City is in an emergency, there is a commotion in Kashgar City, and a large number of thieves are coercing the people out of the city! ”

Liu Long and Yu Tongdao glanced at each other, and finally waited for the time to break!

……

The sky was gray and yellow, and the north wind was like a huge wave, swooping down on the large group of people and horses walking slowly in the wind and sand.

These are the men and horses who fled from the city of Kashgar, not only warriors in armor and weapons, but also countless families who support the old and the young - all the families of Aslan Khan's subordinates!

Sanjar's arrival in Kashgar does not seem to have done anything other than to speed up the consumption of the city's scarce grain stockpiles.

Time passed slowly in hesitation and confrontation, and from summer until the autumn breeze began, Sanjar was not determined to attack the Lion Prison on the south bank of the Chakmak River.

Skirmish battles were fought daily in the wasteland on the south bank of the Chakmak River, and Sanjar sent his precious Ghulam cavalry to test his opponent's strength. And they were greeted by the Xiliang cavalry and iron harriers of the Hexi Army!

In individual battles, Ghulam warriors often have the upper hand by virtue of their excellent martial arts. However, their opponents are accustomed to fighting in a group charge, a bit like the Crusader knights. But it's much more powerful than the Crusaders! The Crusader knights were not numerous, and they could only charge and not be good at riding and shooting. And the Western Liang cavalry and the Iron Harrier themselves are also extremely excellent light cavalry, not only can they charge, but also the level of cavalry and archery is not inferior to that of the Gulam warriors.

And most importantly, there are a lot of them! He often fought with infantry armed with spears and crossbow machines, which made the Ghulam warriors of Sanjar suffer enough.

After several battles of several hundreds, the experienced Sanjar finally understood that it was impossible for his army to break through the castle on the other side of the Chakmak River. If he led his army across the river to besiege the castle, his army would have fallen into great disaster.

The opponent's cavalry is more powerful than Gulam, and the infantry can crush the Persian mercenaries, and there are many of them (I don't know how much), and you can't win a field battle with such an enemy, let alone siege the city?

So retreating from Kashgar was Sanjar's only option.

However, Kashgar is a cage, it is easy to enter, but it is difficult to leave. You can't just walk away, and you can't abandon Aslan Khan and run away by yourself.

Because Aslan Khan still has hundreds of thousands of troops, although he can't fight much, this does not prevent him from being an excellent leader of the way. If Aslan Khan surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty, became a "Zhao Lion", and then drove into Tianzhu for his father, then Sanjar would be in big trouble.

And as long as the lord who is the king and hegemon in Persia, Afghanistan, and the northwest of Tianzhu knows one truth, all the masters who are beaten elsewhere and have a blue nose and swollen face will immediately give birth to dragons and tigers as soon as they enter Tianzhu, and win all battles. Don't look at Aslan Khan, who is now beaten into a "poodle" by the Peach Blossom Stone Man, it really made him cross the green ridge, and Guan Bao has become the lion king again.

So Sanjar must take Aslan Khan with him...... This force must be controlled in your own hands no matter what.

If he can't control it, then let him go and die with the pursuing Upper Peach Blossom Stone people!

Seeing Aslan Khan, who was advancing with him, he turned back frequently, squinting his eyes and trying to see the city of Kashgar covered by yellow sand.

Sanjar opened his mouth to comfort him: "My brother! When you get to India, you know how insignificant what you have lost now. I will make you the emir of eastern India, where there is a Buddhist Baltic dynasty with a lot of money and weak soldiers...... It's all yours! ”
