While the war is being prepared in full swing, other things cannot be delayed.

This is Shao Shude's attitude that he has always done his own job and is busy without being confused.

Half of the Khotan army had retreated, leaving only 5,000 light cavalry and 10,000 strong infantrymen led by Li Shengtian, with the main purpose being to save food.

The monks and soldiers did not leave and temporarily stayed in Atush Tongguang Temple. They would also participate in the next Grass Valley Campaign, although this matter sounded a bit inconsistent.

The vanguard troops had set out, led by Yang Liang, and there were 2,000 cavalry and infantry of the Feilong Army, 2,000 light cavalry in the personal army, and 1,000 light cavalry in the Khotan, advancing west along the southern plain of the Pamir Mountains.

Shao Shude will not leave in a few days. Taking advantage of this time, he will hurry up and review some more important memorials.

The first one is a military newspaper sent from Luoyang.

In the past six months, the situation in the middle school of the country has been generally stable. After the Yan King Shao Mingyi conquered the rebellious tribes in Tonghai Governor's Office, he went north to Quzhou to suppress the Dongcuan tribe.

Shao Shude swept through these. In Yunnan, the biggest enemy is the terrain, the epidemic, nothing else! Do I need to read the militia armed forces with extremely poor equipment and mainly tribes?

He focused on the last paragraph: The King of Yan asked to set up three thousand soldiers in Baping City, and to teach Ding the land, and to send money, grain, farm tools, oxen and seeds to Anjia.

The Political Affairs Hall agreed, the Nanya Privy Council agreed, and the Crown Prince also agreed. But this matter was quite serious, and in the end, Shule was sent in a hurry to be sent by Shao Shude for approval.

After reading it, he felt very relieved that Erlang was tolerant, so he waved his pen and agreed. At Lao Liu's request, he expanded Baping City. The Ministry of Works sent officials to build a military service to the south, Yunnan Road

Assist and handle together.

After the expansion of Baping City was completed, a royal palace was built in the city and a royal palace courtyard was built in the mountains in the southwest. After completion, several eunuchs, palace ladies, female musicians, and craftsmen were rewarded. These were the queen's request, after all, they were their own flesh and blood.

, it is impossible to be harsh.

Shao Shude had no objection and only mentioned one thing: After eliminating the rebellious Quzhou barbarians, all the prisoners were demoted to slaves and sent to Liaodong.

This matter happened to involve the second article.

After many years of stability in Liaodong Road, a rebellion occurred, which made Shao Shude feel a little incredible.

The key is that it happened even more in Longquan Mansion.

After a closer look, the rebellion was more like an accident: Li Congke, deputy commander of Liaodong Daodu, bullied the people of Bohai at will, killed innocent people indiscriminately, and even caused rebellion.

The prince general Li Congke was demoted to the commander of the Qingzhou Prefecture Army and promoted Li Siben to the commander of the Yingzhou Prefecture Army to the deputy commander of the Liaodong Daodu, and Zhou Jiying, deputy commander of the Yingzhou Prefecture Army, was promoted to the commander of the Yingzhou Prefecture Army.

The 40,000 rioters in Longquan Prefecture were demoted to slaves and sent to Zhengzhou, Mengzhou and Meizhou for troops.

After reading it, Shao Shude generally agreed to deal with it like this. However, when he saw Zhou Jiying's name, he had some impression. He remembered that he was originally a child of the imperial guards and had made military achievements when he was farming in Xin'an County, Henan Prefecture and conquering the Khitan. So he decided to give him

He was transferred to the Western Regions and served as the commander of the Yanqi Prefecture Prefecture Army, and gradually improved the local prefecture and military system.

After reviewing it, Shao Shude read the memorial again and was silent for a long time.

Sometimes it is really fatal to be a person like Li Congke, fighting and killing, but it is really not suitable to make him an official.

After thinking about it, I was a little angry, so I added another one and transferred Li Congke to serve as the commander of the Yinzhou Prefecture Army and quickly came to Shule's army to serve.

It is best to leave this kind of demon king in the world to his father Li Siyuan to discipline him. The father and son will go to fight for me!

After processing a large stack of memorials, the last one was about the Korean Peninsula: The Thai king, Maitreya Buddha's archery sent envoys to the court to complain, saying that there were many pirates in the Central Plains near the sea, and they plundered their own mouths and sold them to Liaodong as slaves.

, please issue an edict to ban the emperor of Daxia.

The prince did not dare to be proficient in diplomatic incidents of this level, so he sent a Shule and asked the saint to criticize him.

After reading it, Shao Shude sneered, and Gongyi refused to accept the imperial enthronement, and he was embarrassed to sue it? So he only approved four words: "Breach him!"

After reviewing all the memorials, Shao Shude pushed them aside, and for a moment he felt a little panicked: This country is still operating stably without him...

Then he laughed at himself, perhaps many people would like to die quickly.

The person who was demoted to a slave gritted his teeth and cursed him while repairing the earth.

The enemy generals and the family of the martial artists killed by him said that on the battlefield, life and death are all in their destiny, and no one will blame them for death, but in fact? Who knows what they think behind their backs?

He snatched his wife and daughter and played with him, really doesn't care? When he saw his beloved wife's belly getting as big as a balloon, did he thorn a lot of straw men in private?

Haha, I am still alive and disappointed you.

I will use one victory after another to make you even more desperate. Daxia's reputation grows day by day, and its foundation stays steady every day. Even if you want to rebel, you will not be able to attract a few accomplices.

Despair! I am such a man. Whether you curse or praise, you can't hurt me at all.

The only thing that can defeat me is time.

Time is endless!

On the first day of August of the 15th year of Jianji, after personally supervising the harvest of Chunmai, Shao Shude left Shule and led civil and military officials and palace guards to travel west under the escort of tens of thousands of troops.

*******

Fergana was called "Bahanna" in the Tang Dynasty, and in the "Book of Han", it was called Dayuan Kingdom - Bahanna, which corresponds to the Persian semantics as "a mountain basin with only one exit".

In the late stage of the Arab Umayyadian Dynasty (white-clothed food and food), the conquest of Persia was completed and then targeted Central Asia.

In the fourth year of Chang'an (704), Qu Dibo served as the Emir of the Great Khorasan Province (equivalent to the governor) in white-clothed food and food. With Mulu (now Mare, Turkmenistan) as its capital, he had more than 50,000 troops under his command—

"Forty thousand people came from Basra, seven thousand people came from Kufa, and seven thousand people were Shunmin."

"Shun people" means soldiers recruited in conquered areas, and are most likely Persians.

Since this year, the army of Dashi in Mulu has been maintained at this scale to suppress the entire Great Khorasan Province (including some Central Asian regions), until the dynasty was changed in 750.

In the first year of Shenlong in Emperor Zhongzong of Tang Dynasty (705), Qu Dibo conquered Tochart (the capital was in Balkh Province, northern Afghanistan).

From 706 to 709, he wiped out the disobedient tribes around Bukhara.

From 710 to 712, he conquered Samarkand and Khwarezm.

From 713 to 715, he sent troops deep into the Sir River Basin, and at this time he finally got the iron plate.

In the third year of Kaiyuan (715), Dashi and Tubo interfered with the inheritance of the monarch of Bakhana, and a war broke out with the Tang Dynasty. They were eventually defeated. Bakhana, who had originally wandered between the parties, was completely controlled by the Tang Dynasty.

From this year onwards, the monarch of Dashi issued a clear order that anyone who could cross the Pamir Mountains and conquer the Tang Dynasty eastward would be the governor of China. Therefore, they were very strong and continued to advance eastward, but they were defeated without hesitation.

It doesn't matter if the soldiers die. Just continue to recruit people from Baghdad, Basra, and Damascus, and one group of people dies.

They were so persistent and so stubborn, until the rebellion of the Tang Dynasty, they defeated Gao Xianzhi in the Battle of Talas, and finally took Bahanna and gained a passage to China.

But at this time Tubo came again.

They competed with Dashi in Central Asia, and their expansion steps went deep into the grasslands and deserts, blocking the Dashi invasion of the Dashi in black.

When Tubo was not good, the food and food in black were not good, and Central Asia was broken into pieces until the rise of Saman Persia...

Central Asia is a crossroads, and anyone who is strong will come and kick it.

The Turks are caused by disasters, Persia is caused by disasters, the food is caused by disasters, the Tang Dynasty is caused by disasters, and the Tubo is also caused by disasters. The most recent time, the Uighurs who moved westward penetrated Central Asia.

Now, it is obvious that someone is causing trouble again.

On the evening of the second day of August, the army arrived near the Pamir Mountains and camped in a small oasis (now Upal Town, Shufu County).

When we arrived at this area, we obviously felt the gradual increase of the terrain. However, the nearby agriculture developed very well, with wheat fields and orchards large in size and not much affected by war. Although the local people were panicked, they were used to the soldiers and then

That's the matter. The saint has sent a notice to the people that as long as you don't commit suicide, there is usually nothing big.

At the foot of the mountain on the west side of the oasis, there is actually a Buddhist temple called Dafu Temple. No one knows when it was built, either called the Northern Dynasties or the Sui Dynasty. There is no consensus on it.

The spring water is gurgling in front of the mountain, the trees are shady on the mountain, and there are more than 20 monks in the temple, which seems to be quite knowledgeable because they are translating Sanskrit Buddhist scriptures. In the 1970s, this large-scale Buddhist temple ruins were discovered.

It should be destroyed during the Creator's Eastward Advance.

Shao Shude did not stop here for a long time and continued to march the next day.

As the altitude grew higher, he obviously felt the thinning of the air.

For a moment, he felt a little regretful.

Is it uncomfortable to sleep in Shule, holding Satuk's wife? I repeatedly injected my vitality into the place where she gave birth to life, listened to the messenger's report when I was free, and controlled the command remotely, and didn't know how much effort it was.

But he knew that this was not done.

With such an opportunity to travel through the legendary historical cities, pursue the footprints of heroes and heroes in history to establish martial arts, and even re-engrave their own marks. This kind of willful opportunity is not often available.

He now has willful capital, and his inner desire has overwhelmed other needs. What's more, if you don't come in person, how can you order various tribes? This trip is inevitable - of course, Satuk's wife and daughter are also

He took it with him to see if he had a chance to meet that person.

On the fourth day of August, he received a report from the Pioneer Messenger: Yang Liang requested to go straight to the battle with Ticheng.

Shao Shude immediately asked someone to take the map and watch it carefully.

Ju Zhanti, also known as Huzhen City, is the western entrance to the Fergana Basin near Huzand (Kuzhan), the second largest city in Tajikistan in later generations.

From here to the southwest, you can reach the old Dongcao and Kang Kingdom, and enter the area with a relatively dense Sogdian population.

The northwest can lead to the Gushi Kingdom (Tashkent).

Going east, you can enter the heart of the sweating area.

"It's too risky." Shao Shude slapped the map with a palm and said, "Transfer to Yang Liang and follow the original plan to gain a foothold first."

According to the information provided by the merchants, there are six cities from west to east, with dozens of villages and towns, and the west side is Huwucheng or the battle is mentioned.

The army went directly to the west, blocked the entire basin, and then slowly made it. This plan was extremely bold. But Shao Shude wanted to make a steady move first and then talk about it.

The envoy left quickly after receiving the military order.

Shao Shude sat next to the broken post road, looking at the vast mountains in the distance, and suddenly smiled: "Yang Liang's plan is not without merit. First try the thief's weight and then make a decision. If not, just block the whole thing.

So what about the basin?”
Chapter completed!
