Sanjar crossed the Jihun River at Amu. In front of him, there were Inkta cavalry recruited from Khorasan, Semnan, Yazd, Sistan and other places, as well as Fars, Hamadan and other places.
The volunteer cavalry recruited, a total of 120,000 Seljuk-Persian cavalry, led by several close generals, has entered the river area.
Muhammad II of the Western Kara Khanate met him on the east bank.
"Your Highness the Sultan, the 70,000 elites of the Kara Khanate have been assembled in accordance with your will and are waiting to set off at any time." Muhan Mood II said humbly and respectfully. As he spoke, he even flattered Sanjar.
Sudan.
His current attitude is completely different from the arrogant, domineering and arrogant one before.
Sanjar nodded. He knew that the 70,000 elites Muhan Mood II mentioned were the Western Kara Khanate who mobilized almost all the young and capable Gulam and Yinkta cavalry, plus
Eskar's standing army is estimated to be no more than 30,000. After all, the territory of the Western Kara Khanate is only the area in the middle of the river. It is rich, but it is mainly engaged in farming and trade, and its military resources are not sufficient.
To be able to recruit 70,000 troops, Mu Han Mo De was really desperate.
Sanjar waved his hand and pointed to the south.
"Okay, 60,000 cavalry from Gur, Ghaznavids and other countries will cross the Jihun River at Termez and meet us at Samadha. Muhanmud and the food and grass are ready.
Already."
Mu Han Mo De II's heart was bleeding.
Another purpose is to reinforce the Western Kara Khanate. As a beneficiary and landowner, it will definitely need to bear most of the food and fodder - just the food and fodder for an army of more than 200,000 people, which is enough for Muhan Mode II to take over the entire Western Kara Khanate.
Three feet of the territory of the Khanate was scraped off.
It doesn’t matter whether you can live in the future or not. Let’s get over the current difficulties first. If you win, you can make up for everything; if you lose, there will be no future.
"Reporting to His Highness the Sultan, all the grain and grass have been collected and stored in Dichaik east of Samadang. As soon as the battle plan is finalized, manpower will be arranged to transport it forward."
Muhanmode II accompanied him and said cautiously. He looked at Sanjar's face and considered the next words in his heart. Now the fate of himself and the Western Kara Khanate is entirely in the hands of others, so he has to bend down.
Be small and be careful.
"Your Highness the Sultan, the land of the Kara Khan Kingdom is small and the people are infertile, and the output is limited. Although my subordinates have tried their best to collect from everywhere, the food and grass are still limited, only about..."
As he spoke, his voice became lower and lower.
The figure mentioned by Muhan Mood II made Sanjar frown. With such a small amount of food, an army of more than 200,000 could not last long.
Sanjar knew that the Song Dynasty he faced this time was not a weak opponent. He never expected to be able to win a quick victory. With such a strong opponent, who knows how long it will take. Half a year or a year? In this case, food and grass must keep up.
But Sanjar can also understand the difficulties of Muhammad II.
This guy is an arrogant, ignorant, arrogant and violent guy. In addition to his own territory in the west, he has done it to the Eastern Kara Khanate in the east, the Khwarezm Kingdom in the north, and the Gur and Ghaznavid Khanates in the south.
War - fighting requires food and grass.
But he lost more than he won - if Sanjar hadn't protected him, the grass on the grave would not have been high.
So Sanjar was not polite and asked for a large sum of protection money every year - he felt at ease. In addition, Muhan Mo De II was a master who could not harm himself no matter how miserable he was. No matter how aggressively he was militaristic and how violently he imposed taxes, he still could not.
You need to continue living a life of luxury and excess.
But understanding is understanding, but the attitude must be tempered.
"How can such a small amount of food be enough for the soldiers at the front? No, we must step up collection."
"Your Highness the Sultan, it is better to ask other brothers and friends to help. If we continue to collect, the people in the river may take risks."
Sanjar glanced at Muhammad II, and his tone became extremely rude, "We transport grain from Khorasan, Ghazni, and Peshawar to the river, and then to the front line. We have to go back and forth, and we can't keep up with the time."
How much is the loss? Have you calculated it?
"This is a jihad now, a matter of life and death for the fate of millions of devout Christians. If he is not willing to contribute a little bit of food, then he is not a devout believer, but a traitor and a spy! Mu Han Mo De, you must follow
The people in the river must speak clearly. I want to see who wants to be a traitor or a spy."
Listening to Sanjar's murderous words, cold sweat broke out on the back of Muhammad II. These words were more for him. If the food and grass were not in place, His Highness the Sultan would regard himself as a traitor and a spy, and would reject him.
Go out and worship the flag.
"My subordinates will call for help right away, and we must get all the food and grass ready no matter what." Mu Han Mo De II promised with a bow and a nod.
Sanjar nodded with satisfaction, and Muhammad II secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Sanjar doesn't care whether the people in the river will rise up and resist if he knocks his bones and sucks his marrow.
If a civil uprising is really going to happen, so much the better! Anyway, the order to requisition food was issued in the name of Muhan Mood II, Khan of the Kara Khanate, so what does it have to do with me, Sanjar?
At that time, there was a reversal, and he angrily accused Muhan Mode II of disregarding the lives of the believers in Hezhong and pretending to be a messenger of justice from heaven. Then he followed the people's will and killed Muhan Mode II, and officially incorporated the Hezhong area into his own territory.
territory.
I am so smart!
It can be seen from this that Sanjar never thought about the possibility of losing. Of course, he did not expect to win. In his opinion, the most likely outcome is that the outcome of the two sides is 50-50, or 40-60.
——Or if the confrontation lasts for a period of time and no one can hold on, they will negotiate for peace and stop fighting.
In Sanjar's opinion, the main purpose of Song's war with him was to ensure his current victory. Occupying East Kara and Gaochang, such a large territory, would take time to digest. What the Emperor of Song is most worried about now is
Mobilize your own troops to fight back fiercely and regain the lost ground.
In fact, how can I fight back? Even if I try my best, I am afraid that my vitality will be severely damaged. My direct main force has been wiped out. Not to mention the wolves looking around, even Mu Han Mo De II, who is now groveling to me, dares to fight back.
Barking teeth to yourself.
We all had a game, each had a victory or defeat, and then sat down to talk. They made sure not to fight back in the future, leaving the Song people enough time to digest; the Song people also promised not to attack westward...
Then everyone gets something.
How the Song people brag about it when they return is their business.
After he came back, it can be said that under his leadership, he fought bloody battles to stop the Song pagans from attacking westward. After losing, they promised that they would never take a step west again. He was equivalent to blocking hundreds of thousands of Buddhists and shamans.
, the joint attack of Manichaeism and other pagans.
In the west, the Christians fought victorious battles one after another, trampling on the dignity of Christianity time and time again. However, in the east, Ahmed Sanjar achieved brilliant victories in the war against the pagans and defended the
To ensure the safety and dignity of the world.
His name will be spread throughout the entire *** world in the name of the savior.
Sanjar, who was in a good mood, suddenly thought of something and asked: "Has there been any news from Khwarezmo? When will Mahamo send troops?" This chapter has been completed!
