Starting from late June, the Turks left Shule one after another and returned to their hometown. By mid-to-late July, except for some of the baggage camels, most of them returned.

Atami is close to him, full of joy and joy.

"Dulu, I have gained a lot of money for the King of Turtle?" Near Helicheng, Bosaigan, was carefully admiring a piece of brocade, and was amazed. When he saw Dulu coming, he asked with a sarcastic smile on his face.

Dulu is over thirty years old this year and is the leader of several clan alliances in the southeast of Rehai. He is known as bravery, but his mind is not very good. He used to fight with the Gaochang Uighurs, but now he is following the Gongtu King, but he just can't see the majestic body of the Supreme Khan. What should I say?

"The harvest is OK..." Dulu said halfway through his words, his eyes fell into the brocade and could not be pulled out.

"How is it? It's very good? It's a royal item for Luoyang court granted by the Supreme Khan." Bosaigan smiled reservedly and turned to instruct the servant to prepare tea.

The servant responded and soon started to burn tea in the tent, and a box of tea was opened. Dulu had sharp eyes and knew it was a good product at a glance.

Unlike most people imagined. Tea began to prevail since the Tang Dynasty, and by the late Tang Dynasty, it had formed a very large industry. Because of the great influence of the Tang Dynasty in the region outside the region, the lifestyle of the Tang people was influenced by many people, and tea was one of them.

During the Tang Dynasty, an envoy was sent to Tubo to make tea in the tent. After meeting with Zampo, Tubo showed his collections: Shouzhou tea, Shuzhou tea...

In fact, at that time, tea was only popular in the upper class of the Tang Dynasty, unlike in the late Tang Dynasty, even the lower class began to drink tea. However, the Tubo upper class followed up very quickly, which shows that they were closely observing the lifestyle of the Tang people and willing to follow suit.

Uighurs and Turks also had the habit of drinking tea, but it was limited to the upper class. Dulu bought tea from the Central Plains from Sogdian and Uighur merchants, mainly produced in Shu and Eyue, so he knew the quality.

At this time, Dulu looked at the string of tea balls that the servant took out, and then looked at the exquisitely crafted seal box. He knew that the tea was valuable. The tea enjoyed by the emperors and even officials of the Tang Dynasty were mostly enclosed in jade boxes. As the saying goes, "The Yuan-Storage Jade Half a Cake", the second is "three seals of white silk oblique seals".

The tea balls in front of me are packed in an exquisite box: wooden frames, bamboo woven outlines, and brocades covered with brocades. Not to mention anything else, the brocades wrapped in wooden boxes seem to be some kind of precious Shu brocades...

Dulu sat in front of the sagegan and asked, "Where did it come from?"

Basaigan glanced at the servant and said indifferently: "The Supreme Khan rewarded not only this, but also many of them, carried back with five camels."

"Why are you rewarded for...?" Dulu asked.

"Are you a fool?" Basaigan looked at Dulu with a funny look and said, "We have shed blood for sweating and injured so many people. What's wrong with the reward? Isn't it supposed to?"

Having said that, the thought of showing off was also sluggish.

This time, he and Su Nong joined several tribes, dispatched more than 15,000 cavalry in total, and finally returned only 12,000.

The biggest loss is that the three-day battle with the example is so great that the casualties are so great that they make people feel bleeding, even greater than the example.

Then they chased Satuk and Samani, but were attacked by Persgihard and retreated in a panic.

The loss was not light when he was rushed by Gulam.

In short, they were really bleeding, so the Supreme Khan rewarded them with many slaves, most of which came from Karasha.

Of course, there are a lot of wealth, and there are even a large number of commonly used things in Luoyang Palace. They are exquisitely crafted and of extremely high quality, which is rare in the Western Regions. If you sell them to Sogdians and Uighur merchants, you can get a lot of good things.

With these rewards, this time the dispatch of troops is not a loss, and the leaders of various clans can be satisfied and the prestige of his lords will not fade away.

"Are you going to go out again?" Dulu asked.

"The dog's nose is very good." Basaigan sneered and said, "It's almost done. The King of Turtle went to Kalasha. As soon as he came back, all the troops were about to be dispatched."

There is a saying in the Central Plains to prevent autumn. The reason is that after gaining weight for the whole summer, the horse is fat and strong, and can be tossed hard. In addition, the grass turns dry and there is not much work to do, so I just get idle.

At this time, the Khan would gather young and strong men to go south with bows, arrows, swords, guns, and horses. The elderly, weak, women and children stayed behind, mowed grass, chopped grass, and prepared winter food for livestock.

The production cycles of the Central Plains and the grassland are basically synchronized, so they often confront each other in autumn and winter.

The cycle of the Western Region grasslands is generally similar. Perhaps due to climate, it takes longer to grazing than the cold northern grasslands, but there is no difference in essence. In the eastern part of Tianshan, the grass withered and yellow at the end of July. The series of oasis in the west of southern Xinjiang and the grass on the Gobi Desert will not withered until mid-August. However, the grass in the western part of Beiting and the Tianshan Mountains and the grass west of the Pamir Mountains will withered even later, almost at the end of August and early September.

Overall, the coldest part of the Anxi old land is the central, eastern and southern Xinjiang. As for Yinzhou and Gaochang, because of the unique basin climate, it is the hottest existence in Anxi. During the Lantern Festival, snowstorms are still falling in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, so Gaochang can be cultivated in spring - this is the largest province in China in later generations, accounting for one-sixth of the total area. Only 17 countries in the world have more than Anxi, so the terrain, altitude and climate in different regions vary greatly and cannot be generalized.

"Follow the Gongtu King?" Dulu was a little surprised and worried.

"What? Didn't this time the plunder of Bahan have a lot of rewards?" Basaigan asked.

"The harvest is quite a lot, but it is less than I imagined, and it is too much less." Dulu shook his head and said, "It was not bad at the beginning, but the Persians didn't react. We won a lot of harvest. The good times didn't last long. Ismer mobilized five thousand cavalry and defeated the special forces of the Mochu Special Forces in one battle. The Gloru people were also entangled by a gihad. Sogdians and Turkic cavalry rushed, and could not stand the huge casualties, so they ran away directly."

Basaigan was a little surprised and asked, "Didn't Gongtu King say that he ordered his retreat after hearing that Kalasha was captured by the Khotan soldiers?"

"He said it nicely." Dulu sneered and said, "With his virtue, can he command several tribes? If it weren't for the loss, would the tribes that were robbing the top of the tribes? "

"Yes." Basaigan nodded and said, "But don't worry. This time, the nominal command of Gongtuo King, but there are also envoys of the Supreme Khan, generals and even troops. Let's fight with these people. Just listen to Gongtuo King's orders, and execute them if they are useful. If they are useless, just treat it as fart."

Dulu smiled. Then he frowned and asked, "The wolves on the grassland hunt, and they have to listen to the wolf. If they fight each other, they may not have a good end."

The corkstra also frowned.

As the Supreme Khan conquered Karasha, the Rehai Turks became increasingly inclined to fight him.

People in the grassland are very realistic, and they will listen to whoever is stronger. The decline of the Gongcao King is revealed, so there will naturally be fewer people following him.

The Supreme Khan was incredible, and more and more people gathered in his tent.

In fact, after the slightest return to Rehai, the signs were discovered. Before Dulu, there were several clan leaders and tribal leaders (multiple clans united together to form a tribe) coming to inquire about the news, which was unimaginable before.

It is estimated that this time they can dispatch 30,000 to 40,000 cavalry, or even work hard, it is not impossible for 50,000 cavalry to be dispatched.

How many people can the King of Camel pull out?

The Uighurs' headquarters has a maximum of 20,000 cavalry, plus the three surnames of Gelulu, scattered Turks, a small number of Ugus, as well as small tribes such as Yangmo, Shatu, and Sogd. He could send out 50,000 cavalry and burn high incense - it is highly likely that he would not be able to attract so many people, because his appeal is decreasing every year, and fewer and fewer people are willing to follow him.

"You're right." Bossagan stood up, rubbed his hands constantly, and thought silently.

After a moment, he turned his head and looked at Dulu and asked, "If you ask the Supreme Khan to send a prince to command the army, would you be willing to obey the order?"

"This prince - can he do it?" Dulu asked.

"I've fought Geluo before and chased him to Yinli River Valley. Your in-laws are grazing there. What do you think?" asked Bossagan.

"So it's him!" Dulu remembered it all at once and said, "The Supreme Khan swept across the Central Plains and the grasslands, and then set Gaochang and Kalasha. His seed is the most noble bloodline of the world. The little prince should be extraordinary. I'll listen to him for a while."

Yin Lihe was called Yin Lihe in later generations. It has abundant water and grass, and is suitable for grazing and farming. Turkic and Geluo are scattered in that area, mainly grazing.

Dulu's in-laws were the head of a small local tribe. After hearing the Xia army was chasing him, he ran away with people all night.

Dulu had heard of this and only knew that the Xia army general who led the team was called "Little Prince". At that time, I didn't think about which noble family he was. I heard that he was a saying of Basaigan. It turned out that he was the supreme Khan. No wonder he was so powerful.

After saying that, Dulu thought about it and asked again: "If we all listened to the little prince, would the King of Gongtu be dissatisfied?"

"How many times have you collected Augustaq's money? Just thought about it for him?" Bossai looked at him dissatisfiedly and said, "After this battle, it's not certain whether Augustaq can save his khan. Don't think too much."

"You mean - the new Gongcao King..." Dulu was a little envious.

Decades ago, the one who occupied Balashagon was named "Aslan Karakhan" (The Lion King).

The one who owns Talas is called "Bughra Karakhan" (King Gongtu).

Twenty-five years ago, the Gaochang Uighurs defeated the Great Uighur Kingdom and captured all Yanqi, Kucha, and Beiting, causing the Rehai Turks to surrender, which was extremely powerful. Therefore, the Great Khan of the Gaochang Uighurs also began to call himself the "Lion King".

Twenty-two years ago, Persia conquered Talas and defeated Basil of Balashagun. His brother Ogurchak accepted his brother and sister-in-law, and appointed Kalasha as the chief capital and Balashagun as the accompanying capital, calling himself "King of Gongcao".
