Ogurchak fled westward and obtained some horses after arriving in a town where the Yangmo people lived.
At this time, more than a hundred people had gathered. Most of them were tribal nobles who had escaped from Karasha and left because they did not want to attach themselves to Satuk.
According to what they said, there were many people who took refuge in Sartuk, including their children and nephews.
Many people cannot understand that in the battle with the Persians, so many of your fathers and brothers were killed. In the end, not only did you not hate the Persians, but you still believed in the Creator they promoted. Is it true?
But that's the truth, there's nothing more to say.
The male camel king hated the Persian monks very much, otherwise he would not have tested his nephew Sartuk so many times. They were similar.
Now that part of the next generation has been stolen, the family will have to be cleaned up later. Otherwise, even if they go to Balasagon, a place that Satuk calls "the base camp of the old school," they will not be able to live in peace.
"Gather all the horses. No, gather all the mules, donkeys, and camels as well. Bring more food and water. Bring more arrows if they are lost." After escaping, Ogurchak was extremely calm and calmly said various things.
Order: "Mo Chu, you lead the troops eastward and deter the pursuing troops for a while. The rest of you, seize the time to rest."
Mochu Teqin is an old Uighur who is in charge of the affairs of the Uighur tribe that is becoming increasingly rare in this huge country - there are only a few tens of thousands left, and their appearance is becoming increasingly Turkic.
He was loyal to Ogurchak. After hearing the order, he took dozens of cadres and recruited the strong men in the town, a total of more than 800 people, and headed eastward, intending to stop the pursuers.
.
"What's next?" After feeding the horse, Li Shouxin quickly took some water, then grabbed Altai and asked.
"Go to Baluka first, gather the local tribes, and contact all parties." Altai said as he wolfed down a piece of cake.
Baluka is Gumo Prefecture. In later generations, the Aksu area was named after the Baluka Kingdom.
The tribes currently active in the Baluka area are very complex, including the Yangmo people, the Uighurs and even the Geluolu people. The Yangmo people are the most numerous. After all, this Turkic tribe is considered an indigenous people nearby - the indigenous people in recent hundreds of years.
"Are you obedient like that?" Li Shouxin asked, "Don't go there and get kidnapped."
Altai was also a little hesitant.
In the past, the Yingmo people must have been obedient, but now it is hard to say. It is not good if the capital is lost. The orthodoxy has been weakened, and the Yingmo people will also doubt whether Satyuk has obtained the Great Uighur.
Support from the vast majority of people at the top of the country?
"The news hasn't reached there yet, let's go over there first and then talk about it." Altai said coquettishly: "If it doesn't work, just run away. It's not too far from Baluka to Balasagon."
"The Rehai Turks are in the middle, how do you get across?" Li Shouxin asked, "Aren't they the subjects of the Gaochang Uighurs?"
Altai smiled and said: "They are also our subjects, at least a large part of them obey the orders of the male camel king."
Fuck! Is this one woman getting married twice? One servant and two masters? Li Shouxin was a little helpless, the grass on the wall was like this. He was now certain that the Rehai Turks did not sincerely join Daxia, but were temporarily dormant due to the situation.
But he is also very tolerant. Things in this world are mostly based on strength. As long as Daxia has a firm foothold in the Western Regions, the imperial court will have a way to gradually strengthen its control over the Rehai Turks, and then let them pretend to be real, unable to
Regret.
"If you want to go to Balashagon, you really need to gather more people. Otherwise, even if you go, the Turks and Geluolu people there may not take the male camel king seriously." Li Shouxin said: "By the way,
King Gongtuo has not yet sent an envoy to Gaochang to request Daxia to send troops, so why?"
"Maybe I'm too busy, forget about it," Altai said.
Li Shouxin suddenly realized, and said: "Indeed. However, you'd better find a chance to persuade the Khan. If he has nothing and runs to Balashagon alone, it may be very dangerous. If there is support from the King of Daxia
, the situation will be much more stable, and those tribal leaders and local warlords will not dare to have any evil intentions."
Altai sighed and said, "I'll try my best."

Everyone rested until evening, and were about to have dinner before leaving, when news came from the east: the pursuers were coming, and Mochu Teqin was defeated.
After a while, Mo Chuo fled back with more than a hundred riders in embarrassment.
The crowd was in an uproar and people were panicked.
Ogurchak made a decisive decision and ordered to flee all night to Baluka.
This journey lasted for six or seven days. When we arrived, we were tired and exhausted. I wanted to gather troops here, but it turned out that I only stayed for a day or two. After I calmed down a little, someone secretly reported that Sartuk's pursuers were approaching. Although the leaders of various ministries were still there,
They were debating, but most of them were inclined to hand over the male camel king and pledge allegiance to Satuk.
Dunyu, Altai and others cursed loudly, but Ogurchak was very calm.
"The matter has come to this, don't think too much." He said while adjusting the saddle: "I have long seen that Karasha is not suitable for a capital city. The Congling Nanyuan is nearby, and the Bahan is
Monks and thieves often infiltrate here, so let’s go!”
"Where to go?" Altai asked subconsciously.
"Go to the Badaling Mountains, go to Balashagon, gather a large army, and then fight back." Ogurchak said: "This time, I will definitely cut off Satuk's head with my own hands and make it into a wine vessel."
Li Shouxin was so tired that he took the last moment to eat something.
Sometimes he found it funny. Before his nephew launched the mutiny, Ogulchak was extremely stupid, hesitant, and hesitant. It could be said that he made all the mistakes. But after his nephew rebelled, he was very decisive and ran away.
, never hesitated, so that the pursuers could only eat ashes behind their butts.
Is this interesting?
Let’s talk about Bodaling. In the Tang Dynasty, it was called “Lingshan” and “Lingshan”. It was an important traffic route to the west of Congling—Bedery Mountain in Wushi County in later generations.
During the reign of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, he went on an expedition to Kangju, Chentang, and Gantingshou over Congling. He passed through Dawan and headed for Kangju. He took this road.
During the Tianbao period, Gao Xianzhi led 20,000 troops and 50,000 Tibetan troops, penetrated 700 miles, and suddenly appeared outside Talas City. The main force took this road.
In later geographical terms, this road starts from the northwest of Aksuwush County, crosses the Bederi Mountains, passes through the south bank of Yinseke Lake, and reaches Taraz. There are post roads on both sides of the mountain range, and post stations were set up in the Tang Dynasty to facilitate pedestrians.
.
To the north of this road, there is another road called "Bingda Ban", which passes through Bingda Ban (Musul Ridge, Tomur Peak) in the northwest of Aksu Wensu County and takes the north shore of Yinseke Lake.
, the end point is the same.
The difference between these two roads is that Bodaling is accessible all year round, while Bingdaban can only be walked after the ice and snow melt. Of course, if you force it, it is not impossible. From the Han Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, in winter
It’s not that there are no people who walk the Ice Daban, but according to records, the caravans need to bring shovels and pickaxes. When encountering difficult sections, they will shovel the ice and snow to make steps, and use ropes to lead the pack horses.
Up and down the mountain.
Both of them are important traffic thoroughfares connecting the east and west of Congling.
On the Kashgar side, you can also go directly west, take the Congling Nanyuan to the Fergana Basin, and then pass through Tashkent to Taraz. This is also a post road.
Gao Xianzhi marched westward towards the Talas, with the main force going through the Bodaling Mountains and a partial force going through the Congling Nanyuan. Both roads were accessible.
At this time, Ogurchak mentioned that he was going to Bodaling. He was really going to give up the east of Congling. He went to Balashagon to gather the old Turks, Uighurs, and Geluolu troops to try to make a comeback, but——
Is it that easy?
"Khan, if you rely solely on yourself, you will be alone. Why don't you send an envoy to Gaochang and invite the soldiers of the Great Xia Dynasty to come. How can you not capture little Satuk?" Li Shouxin suggested after finishing the dried meat.
"That's fine." Ogulchak responded directly without hesitation.
After saying that, he ordered his second son, Doros, to serve on special duty, and headed for Gaochang under the escort of more than a dozen close associates.
Li Shouxin also asked Yang Ningshi, a Hanlin scholar, to go back with him to show his love for Tibet.
After everything was settled, Ogurchak took the Zangmo people, Uighurs, and Geluolu people who were willing to follow him westward, and left the increasingly dangerous Baluka. Hundreds of riders took advantage of the falling night to ride toward
Flee west.
******
On the first day of May, Ogurchak and others had just arrived at the foothills when they encountered a large group of cavalry.
These people wore sheepskin coats, led horses, and carried a variety of weapons. After seeing them from a distance, they immediately dispersed and became alert.
Ogulchak and others were shocked.
Judging from their attire and the words they heard from afar, they must be Turks. Looking at the direction they were walking in, it was obvious that they were coming east from Rehai.
Altai sent someone to negotiate, but they were kidnapped on the spot.
Group after group of Turks poured out from the mountains. After arriving at the plain at the foot of the mountain, they immediately got on their horses and drove left and right, surrounding them.
"Don't do anything." Li Shouxin whispered.
Since they are Turks, they are not necessarily enemies.
Altai glanced at him, as if to say, there are no less than three thousand Turks, and we only have three to four hundred people, a tenfold gap, how can we do anything?
Fortunately, the Turks did not take action. They sent the captured prisoners to the mountain. Half an hour later, more people poured out of the mountain. The leader was wearing a golden armor, which was very conspicuous.
Li Shou's confidence moved. The golden armor looked a bit like the standard iron armor that saints often gave to their subordinates. However, it was a bit far away and didn't look very real, so he couldn't be sure.
But at this moment, Ogulchak rode up and said loudly: "Beseqian, is it you?"
"Oh? It turns out to be the male camel king." Bassegan's voice was a bit mocking, a bit playful, and it seemed that he was very willing to see Ogurchak defeated.
"Why are you marching eastward? Whose order did you follow?" Ogurchak asked in a deep voice.
"Of course that is the order of the Supreme Khan Jianwen Shenwu, who is born wise." Basseqian said: "I am now the Grand Governor of Daxia Rehai Governor's Mansion, and I have been ordered to go south to King Qin."
As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the place.
Li Shouxin secretly observed Ogurchak's expression and read surprise, relaxation, joy and a layer of deeply hidden worry.
What a male camel king, I am afraid he has guessed something. But now that the matter has come to this, how many choices does he have?
