The enemy invaded Xizhou, and the Jin of Vijab led the army back to help, these things Hassan had known for a long time;

But at that time, he didn't care too much, Vijab's Jin was too strong in Hexi, and he was arbitrary everywhere, which made Hassan very dissatisfied, and some people made Vijab's Jin make some trouble, but he didn't care about the jokes.

But who would have expected that Vigab's Jin gutter capsized and was simply destroyed at the gate of his house.

Things are changing too fast. Xizhou and Khotan are separated by a huge Taklamakan Desert, and it is difficult to transmit information, and Hassan has also just learned that Xizhou has changed masters;

At the same time, the enemy Gulie, who had just swallowed Xizhou, sharpened his sword again, and was ready to attack Shule Youba, who had empty troops, with the power of a great victory, and Hassan couldn't calm down.

He and Vigab's Jin have been fighting each other for many years, and they have tried every possible way to annex each other but have not been able to do so, and now the lone army of the enemy Gulie has destroyed Vijab's Jin as if it were withering and decaying.

The shock to Hassan was so great that it felt like a ferocious beast had rushed into the Western Regions, spreading its sharp fangs to devour everything.

Now whether it is Shule or Eight-Thorn Shagon, the defenses are relatively empty, if this fierce beast is allowed to break through, then what is the matter?

The Eight Thorns Sagon and Shule are the foundation of the Black Khan, and these two places must not be lost, and they must be returned immediately.

But the crows see that there are still more than 10,000 troops in the construction here, what should I do?

At this moment, Hassan was like a basin of red coals falling from the crotch of his pants, burning his feet.

The lesser of two evils, losing nothing and not throwing away the foundation, Hassan quickly decided. withdrew to the more than 10,000 men who were attacking Hexi and defended Khotan;

Leave 5,000 men and horses to guard the crows, and bring tens of thousands of troops back to help Shule and Eight Thorns. Let's hope it's still too late!

Hassan's plan is correct, but he is not a vegetarian either. He first asked Ma Yuan to take 3,000 men and horses, and from the time Hassan crossed the Yarkand River, he continued to harass them;

After it was determined that Hassan really had no intention of fighting, he immediately pressed the whole army and continued to attack from behind, making Hassan anxious;

Chong Jianzhong mainly attacked his logistics, and won a lot of grain and grass, fighting in this ghost place, food is the king!

Hassan is like an arrow. Although he suffered a few small defeats, he really didn't have the heart to play the game of officers and soldiers catching bandits with Chong Jianzhong here, and he left 3,000 men and horses to rely on the rocks on the edge of the desert to block Chong Jianzhong;

At the same time, he ordered the 5,000 men and horses who stayed behind to watch the city to go out of the city to play with Jianzhong, and he led the army to quickly cross the desert between Ya'er and Shule, and rushed home with smoke on his buttocks.

On a mountain bag in the upper reaches of the Yarkand River, dozens of elm trees are scattered around the mountain bag, and the Yarkand River flows down from the Kunlun Mountain. Venus is twinkling.

The distribution of cities on the Southern Silk Road has a common feature, they are all nourished by the snow water flowing down from the Kunlun Mountains, the city of Yochang was built on the Cherchen River, and the city of Keriya was built on the bank of the Keriya River. Khotan was built between the Baiyu River and the Wuyu River, the city of Yaerguan was built next to the Yarkand River, and the city of Shule was located on the side of the Kizil River.

After the ice and snow melt in the Kunlun Mountains. This is the formation of rivers that rush down. It is with the nourishment of these rivers that oases are formed along the banks of the river. It was only by blocking the invasion of the Taklamakan Desert that these cities could survive.

Ma Yuan rode the horse to the side of the plant. Eagerly asked, "General, what should we do next?" Hassan's army has returned to Shule, and we have time to build siege equipment, and the general will guarantee that we will be able to take the city within three days. ”

It is indeed a big temptation to capture Ya'er Kancheng, but Chong Jianzhong never forgot the safety of Shazhou, so he shook his head and said: "At present, there are only three or four thousand men and horses in Khotan City, and if I expect it to be correct, Hassan wants to withdraw the more than 10,000 men and horses from Hexi to supplement Khotan's troops;

But we will return to Khotan much faster, and now it is important to snatch Khotan back from the new before the more than 10,000 men and horses rush back, so that we can deal with it calmly;

Otherwise, when the more than 10,000 men and horses rush back to Khotan, even if we capture the city of Ya'er, we will also be caught by Khotan and Shule, and we will be attacked by the enemy;

If we can quickly recapture Khotan City, we can reopen the connection with Shazhou and trap the more than 10,000 Black Khan troops in the area of Yochang City. ”

Ma Yuan thought about it, he was still trapped to death by Khotan and Shule when he captured Ya'er Guancheng, and if he recaptured Khotan City first, he would be able to trap the more than 10,000 Black Khan troops who came back to Hexi to death.

In fighting in such a locality, it is necessary to distinguish between priority and priority and seize key strategic nodes in order to seize the initiative.

"What the general said is very true, I think that at this time, the people and horses of the Achai Department will definitely retract, so please ask the general to give an order."

In this way, Chong Jianzhong led the army to kill Khotan again.

After Chi Tieer and Zheli Ge joined the enemy Gulie, more than 40,000 troops resolutely marched westward, from Qiuci (Kuqa County) to the west out of Zheju Pass, crossed the Baima River, and then 180 li into the Kubiluo moraine, through the bitter well, 120 li to Kubiluo City, 60 li to Axiyan City, and 60 li to Pachang City (Aksu City);

The city of Swap is also called Gumo City, south of the Sihun River, and was the westernmost city controlled by the Uighurs of Western Prefecture.

When you get here, if you cross the river and go to the northwest, it is the road to the broken leaves, and if you cross the Sihun River and go southwest, you can pass Shule.

According to Chi Tie'er's meaning, it is natural to take the northwest to cross the Pai Chang River, cross the Paidaling Ridge and go directly to attack the broken leaves, and then retreat to settle in the area of Yibohai, which is closer to the Altai Mountains, that is, closer to the Mobei grassland.

However, Di Gulie believes that the distance from Beiting to Broken Leaf is about the same as the distance from Xizhou to Broken Leaf, and Yang Yi is also marching towards Broken Leaf;

In case Yang Yi preempted the first step, they are likely to be trapped in the Atami area, and they are in a dilemma, so it is better to go southwest and attack Shule (Kashgar City).

Shule is located on the western edge of the Taklamakan Desert, which is the junction of the north and south of the Silk Road.

In addition, nourished by the Kizil River, the Shule area is rich in water and grass, and agriculture and animal husbandry are extremely developed, and it has always been the economic and cultural center of the Black Khanate, where the Black Khanate once moved.

Now that Shule's army is empty, if he can capture this important town in the Western Regions and get a lot of supplies, he will definitely be able to grow a lot;

At that time, you can directly cross the green ridge from Shule, kill to the area of the Wuhu River, attack Khorasan to the west, and attack the Taohuashi Khanate and Huathorn Zimo in the river to the northwest, and there is no need to worry about meeting with Yang Yi's army.

Zheli Ge also supports the idea of Di Gulie, Shule City is too rich, and it is so rich that it makes people red.

In this way, whether to go to the northwest or southwest, the two were at a stalemate, and they were delayed for half a day in the exchange city.

"Report, Great Khan, there is a group of Song troops chasing from the direction of Qiuzi, there are about 100 people, claiming to be Yang Yi's envoy, and they want to meet the Great Khan."

Suddenly, there was a sound of news outside, interrupting the argument between the three of them.

The three of Di Gulie, Chi Tie'er, and Zheli Ge looked at each other, and they couldn't understand what Yang Yi was doing when he suddenly sent a messenger to chase him;

Chi Tie'er's first reaction was that Yang Yi was plotting to slow down their trip.

Out of that curiosity, they still met with Yang Yi's envoy.

Cheng Sanlang allowed the enemy Gulie's men to collect the weapons, but the helmet refused to take off, although Chi Tieer and the others were strange, but thinking that it was nothing for him to wear a helmet, they let him into the house.

The last time Cheng Saburo went to see Tuolihan as a messenger, he was shaved a strange head, although this revenge has been turned over and returned, and there is not a single hair left in Tuolihan's shaved hair, but a strange hairstyle will inevitably damage his glorious image;

So he insisted on not taking off his helmet, and seeing that the enemy Gulie and the others did not make any more difficulties, he couldn't help but smile after entering the house, and said, "Thank you to the Great Khan of the enemy Gulie, and thank you Uncle Chi Tie'er." ”

This mouth is really slippery, otherwise, Yang Yi would not have sent him twice.

Di Gulie asked quietly, "You said that Yang Yi sent you, what did he send you for?" ”

"The Great Khan, who has traveled thousands of miles, chased the Great Khan so hard, and the Great Khan didn't even have a bowl of water, this is not hospitality!"

"Come, bring him a bowl of water, Ben Da Khan wants to see what he can say."

The guard brought a bowl of water, Cheng Sanlang drank it dry, and then said: "Great Khan, my marshal sent me here out of good intentions, my marshal said that between countries, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests." ”

Cheng Saburo paused when he said this, and Chi Tie'er, who was scheming, immediately heard a hint of overtone: "Your envoy, please continue." ”

Cheng Saburo said solemnly: "At the beginning, your ministry wanted to take Xijing Mansion, and my Great Song Dynasty also wanted to take Xijing Mansion, it was to fight with Bai Mountain, this is purely for the interests of the country, not for any grudge, I don't know if the Great Khan and Uncle Chi Tie'er think so?" ”

The enemy Gulie and they were silent, and the wounds caused by the battle of Baishan were too deep, but Cheng Saburo attributed this battle to a dispute caused by national interests, and it was not wrong.

But for the enemy Gu Lie, this is a great enmity, but they know that they can't help the Song State now.

"Although this grudge has been settled, but the so-called grievance should be resolved rather than settled, our marshal hopes that the enemy Gulie Khan and Uncle Chi Tier can let go of the unbearable past and look forward together."

"Say it lightly......." Enemy Gulie was about to go crazy, but Chi Tie'er hurriedly stopped him and said to Cheng Sanlang: "What does your envoy want to say, you might as well make it clear directly, we grassland people don't like to beat around the bush." ”

Cheng Saburo hugged his fists to Chi Tie'er, and said with a straight face: "Since your ministry took the initiative to give up Xizhou, it is not difficult to guess that your ministry intends to continue to move westward, my family marshal said, my Great Song Dynasty's footsteps will stop in the middle of the river, if your ministry intends to continue to move west, then there will be no conflict of interest between us, on the contrary, we can choose to cooperate." ”

"Cooperation?" (To be continued.) )
