Shao Shude was only two days behind Yang Liang and others. On May 15, he arrived in Gumo.

In addition to a large number of officials, there were Yin'anzhi, Feixiong Army, Guards' Personal Army, Tielin and other infantry cavalry, with a total of more than 40,000 people.

He held back the idea of ​​everyone's blind movement and only let the Rehi Turks go south and alert him.

Compared with the battle, in the past year, he has devoted more energy to local construction, because this concerns the long-term stability of the Western Regions in the future.

Winning a war is never a big problem, and the difficulty of long-term and stable rule is much higher.

"Augurchak has returned to Balashaguon. He heard that the troops were being summoned. I told him that he would either go south from the west of the Pamir Mountains, detour through the Pamir Mountains, and attack Kalasha directly, or he would stop moving his troops.

, Don’t mess around. Get tens of thousands of rides over, you can’t just eat, it’s useless.” In the farmhouse where Yang Liang once visited, Shao Shude sat under the grape trellis, playing with the goblet.

Generals of all sizes are surrounded here.

Yang Liang, Deputy Chief and Deputy General of Kucha, Li Siyuan, Zheng Yong, Chief of Tielin Army, Wang Jianji, Chief of Youyi, Chief of the Tianxiong Army, Yuan Xingqin, Envoy of the Left-Celebration Army, He Gui, Deputy Chief of the Tiande Army, and Feixiong Army

The envoy Wang Chong, the Jin Dao Army Li Sizhao, the Hei Wu Hou Ma Sixun and others.

Basically, the main force of the imperial guards is here.

Some imperial guards and most miscellaneous soldiers, government soldiers, foreign soldiers, etc. were either left in Gaochang, or returned to Fu Cun, the Beiting Fu Cun, or guarded the city walls along the way from Yanqi to Gumo.

"Your Majesty, although the male Camel hates Persia, he will definitely not have the courage to provoke." Yang Liang said: "It will be unrealistic to expect him to go south to get to Khan."

"Cui Qing, I remember that Ba Khan was once a vassal state of the former Tang Dynasty?" Shao Shude looked at the secretary-general Cui Miao and asked.

"That's it." Cui Miao replied: "In the third year of Kaiyuan (715), Tubo and Dashi jointly established Aliada as king and sent troops to attack the country of Bahanna. The Anxi guardian Lu Xiu led more than 10,000 people to support Bahanna.

The defeat of Tubo and the Dashi coalition forces expanded the reputation of the former Tang Dynasty west of the Pamir Mountains."

"In the 12th year of Kaiyuan (724), Dashi invaded the east again, surrounded the capital of Bahanna, and the 'Thirsty Water and Sun' broke out. The thunder cavalry sent an edict to support Bahanna, Dashi was defeated and the general died in battle.

.This battle made Kang and Shi Zhuguo return to the Tang Dynasty, and the pace of expanding the Great Food in the east was delayed for fifty years."

In fact, the Tang Dynasty and Dashi fought for hegemony in Central Asia more than these few times.

In the fifth year of Kaiyuan (717), Tuqishi joined forces with Tubo and Dashi to capture the four towns of Anxi, defeating the Tang army.

In the sixth year of Kaiyuan (718), Dashi invaded the east again and surrounded the Turks. After paying the ransom, he retreated and died in an unsuccessful expedition.

In the 11th year of Kaiyuan (723), Dashi invaded the east, and the cavalry sent an order to attack, defeating Dashi.

After the Khan was defeated and Khan was captured by Gao Xianzhi, the Tang Dynasty lacked a good thug in Central Asia and had to go into battle by himself.

Then in the ninth year of Tianbao (751), Gao Xianzhi drew away the main force of Anxi soldiers (20,000 to 30,000 people), led 20,000 Tang troops, and Bahanna, Geluo and other troops to advance westward to Talas.

The Great Food Army had 40,000 people from Khorasan Jihad, which was the elite of its headquarters, and more than 100,000 vassal troops of the states in the Amu River and Sir River Basin.

The battle ended with Geluo's defeat at the last minute, and the Anxi Army lost more than 10,000 people and retreating overnight.

The last battle between the Tang Dynasty and Dashi should be the "From the Lu Battle" in the 17th year of Zhenyuan (801). The Nanzhao coalition forces captured Tubo and the Dashi coalition more than 20,000 people - this is another Dashi

Trying to promote the Creator to the Central Plains, it ended in failure.

Overall, Tuqishi was rebelled against Tang at the beginning, and after being tamed, he became the best thug in Central Asia in the Tang Dynasty. To be honest, Dashi's combat effectiveness was very average. He was beaten so hard that he could not find the north by Tuqishi, and his record was simply not good.

Look at the way.

Tuqishi's internal strife and rebelled again, it was defeated by the Tang army. Tang Ting once wanted to replace Tuqishi with Geluo as a new thug, but it was obviously a failure.

A good thug, if you don’t have it, you don’t have it.

"Wo sweat..." Shao Shude stood up, rubbed the beard on his chin, and hesitated.

Judging from the current situation, Saman Persia should be a new generation of black food, but its desire to expand is not that strong.

Shao Shude wanted to follow the Pamir Ling Nanyuan and directly rush into the old land of Bahan, slaughtering all the local Persian troops. But he also felt that this was very troublesome, because he could not stay in the west all the time. Once the army withdrew, the people would make a comeback.

, What's your solution?

From Dashi to Persia, the biggest advantage of people is the convenience of supply. Dashi was defeated by the Tang people so many times, did they stop the idea of ​​invading the east? No.

But he still wants to try it.

Some people are beaten and can achieve decades of peace.

Some people were beaten and still continued to come like a dog skin plaster.

I just don't know what kind of person Persia is.

"Let's talk about Shule first." Shao Shudesi thought about it and decided to take a step.

Logistics supply is the most restrictive part of the Xia army. This is a fatal point. How to fight the subsequent battle depends entirely on whether there is sufficient supply.

"Your Majesty!" Yinanzhi commander Zhong Yanyou hurried in and reported: "Satuk went north, with a large number of soldiers, no less than 20,000, or 30,000."

The atmosphere in the courtyard suddenly became lively.

The generals looked at me, and I looked at you, and their expressions were quite excited.

"Why? Everyone is so happy to see a war?" Shao Shude asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, isn't the warrior just pointing at this?" Yang Liang smiled and said, "How can you get promoted and make a fortune without a war?"

Everyone laughed loudly.

But Yang Liang's words are indeed the "values" of all warriors. As long as the court does not block their channels for progress, the warriors who have made contributions can be promoted, and even enter the court to become prime ministers and privy envoys, increase their fiefs and give them the gifts.

They protect their descendants as officials and let everyone talk about their martial arts, so they dare to sacrifice their lives to fight and sweep all enemies.

"Then tell me, how should I fight this battle?" Shao Shude asked.

"Select the elite and give the enemy a headache. I am willing to be the vanguard." Yang Liang said.

"Guess how I will fight?" Shao Shude shook his head and continued to ask.

Yang Liang was suffocated and said after a while: "Your Majesty will definitely station troops here, waiting for labor. First, use the strong wall to consume the spirit of the thief. After the news of the attack on Shule from the Khotan army, the morale of the thief was unstable. At this time, a large-scale attack will be obtained.

Win in a complete victory.”

"It seems that you have figured out my military routine." Shao Shude laughed at himself.

"Your Majesty's use of troops is impeccable and in line with the right way of military law." Li Siyuan said seriously: "Even if I am in Satuk's position, I can't think of a solution."

Shao Shude laughed when he heard this.

After fighting for most of his life, he is actually a real old man on the battlefield. He can play all kinds of tactical and easy-to-play styles, and his familiarity with the army is beyond the reach of ordinary people. In addition, his cautious and stable style makes his opponents desperate.

The bottom line is to win.

If this is not considered a famous general, then I really don’t know what a real famous general is.

"The thieves will not come for a while." Shao Shude sat back and said, "The city will be repaired in a hurry. The rest of the people, the training troops, the military situation, the military situation, and the collection of grains, the collection of grains, and the collection of grains, follow the steps.

.Since the end of the Qian Fu, I have fought for thirty-seven years. I have several ways to kill a child like Satuk. Don’t worry, small scenes, this is much easier than restoring agricultural production in the Western Regions.

Now.”

"Affect the order." The generals responded one after another.

*******

Satuk is still very strong in going north.

After the successful mutiny, he spent twenty days to stabilize the situation and colluded with the leaders of various tribes to exchange interests in exchange for their allegiance. After almost the work, he recruited more than 20,000 troops, left Kalasha, and headed north.

On May 15th, he received news that Balujia Yangma was destroyed. On the 16th and 17th day, he met many Nanfeng Yangmao chiefs and soldiers.

After learning about the battle, he had a moment of wavering, but after a long conversation with Sammani, he strengthened his determination to continue northward.

On May 19, Irug's troops encountered the Rehi Turks who went south. The two sides fought three times, and the Turks were defeated and collapsed.

At this time, everyone knew that there were many Xia soldiers gathered in the Bahuan City area, with no less than 30,000 people. In addition to the Turks, the total number exceeded 40,000, and it may even reach 50,000.

On their side, even if the soldiers who were forced to join the army along the way were still a little far from 30,000.

The troops are at a disadvantage, and after a long-distance marching, the physical strength is also at a disadvantage. Is it necessary to go north?

But retreating is even more undesirable.

First of all, there is a huge morale consumption. Once withdrawn, Ding Zhuang, who was forced to join the army, is likely to escape. The leaders of Kalasha tribes and officials will also doubt whether Aslan Khan can accomplish anything.

This kind of suspicion is very deadly for a person who has just come to power by mutiny.

Finally, there were not many rangers of the Xia army. They must be closely observing the whereabouts of the Uighur army. Once they were sure that they turned around and returned south, they were likely to send cavalry to pursue them, and the situation would be uncontrollable. Satuk felt vaguely that

It is likely to cause a shameful defeat, and it is better to fight to the death face to face.

So I continued north.

On May 20th and 21st or two, the Turks' harassment became more and more frequent and the intensity began to increase.

The army was moving a lot slower and was highly nervous.

On the 22nd, he sent the Gulam army to attack, grabbed a Turkic attack, and killed hundreds of them, and finally made him collapse and dared not get close to harassment.

On the 23rd, Iruge, who was the pioneer, reported that he had seen the Sihun River and the Xia Army camp on the west bank of the river from afar.

Satuk suddenly felt unrealistic when he received the news: he actually brought them all the way here and obtained the qualification to fight the Xia army?

He ordered the main force to stop advancing and start camping. At the same time, he led the Gulam guards forward and arrived several miles west of Bahuan City at noon that day to meet with Irug's vanguard.

"Dongdongdongdong..." The sound of drums suddenly sounded in the wilderness.
To be continued...
