Chapter 949
Broken Leaf City.
Compared with the people and horses in Balashaguon, the military capital of the East Karakhan Dynasty, nearby, the scene of various tribes gathering. At this time, this former Anxiong City was indescribably deserted and desolate.
Strictly speaking, Suye City and Balashaguen can be regarded as two urban areas of a city. The two places are very close, only a few dozen miles away. Just on the bank of a big river called Suye River, thirty or forty miles south is the western foot of the continuous Tianshan Mountains, more than a hundred miles northeast is also a remnant of the Tianshan Mountains, and more than one hundred miles east is also a continuous Tianshan Mountains. Therefore, Suye and Balashaguen are located at the mouth of a huge trumpet-shaped valley.
During the Tang Dynasty when the reign of this valley, Saiye City was the center of the Saiye River Basin. The tiger was lying on the side of the Tianshan Mountains, and the northwest was an endless grassland desert. The southwest was also a beautiful place for Tianshan Mountains to admire Central Asia. As the melting snow in the Tianshan Mountains continued to inject the Saiye River into the Saiye River, the Saiye River Valley area was rich in water and grass, suitable for farming and herds. Moreover, the nearby Tianshan Mountains slopes were also densely vegetated and very rich in resources. From the prosperous Tang Dynasty to the demise of the Western Liao Dynasty, this place was the foundation of hegemony that could shock Central Asia!
As the core of the foundation of Central Asia's hegemony, in the Tang Dynasty, when the Karakhan period rose to Central Asia, it moved to the small town of Balashaguon near Saiye City. After more than two hundred years of continuous construction, Balashaguon has become a major city in Central Asia. Saiye City has become a castle that is dependent on Balashaguon.
About 18,000 Hexi Expeditionary Forces led by Xiao Heda entered the almost abandoned Sailye City at this time. There were not many intact houses in the city. The rammed earth walls built in the prosperous Tang Dynasty also collapsed and shattered in many places due to the wind and rain of three to four hundred years. However, the area inside the earth wall was still quite large, enough for Xiao Heda's army to camp in it.
At this time, Xiao Heda, a famous Khitan general who was famous in Dangxiang, the Hexi Army, was standing on a fairly intact city gate tower, looking at the tents of the Khitan herders scattered by the Saiye River.
Although he had just led the army to a great victory that was well-known in history, there was still a trace of worry between the eyebrows of this famous Khitan general in his thirties.
In the north wind, he pressed a corner of his cloak and watched the herdsmen drive away cattle and sheep to eat the grass that had turned into a withered yellow, but he didn't say anything for a long time.
From these unfamiliar Khitan tribes, Xiao Heda saw the Khitan tribes in the Daliao territory that had long been hard-working and not afraid of powerful enemies. To be fair, their military power was not strong, probably the same as the Shubu people in the Daliao territory, and perhaps a little worse than the Shubuli tribe.
But after all, they survived tenaciously for a hundred years under the oppression of the Karakhan dynasty of the Tianfang Cultists, and did not lose their faith. They also maintained the unique strength of the nomadic people. This is the hope of the Khitans! Learning from the Han people can only make the Khitans become weaker and weaker, thus losing the mighty strength of conquering the grassland and desert.
Of course, the military science of the Yuntai lineage is still beneficial. Now, after the Hexi Army has reformed the military science of Yuntai, its strength has been greatly improved.
However, other systems of the Han family were of no benefit to the grassland people. The decline of the Khitan and the defeat of the Dangxiang were all due to this!
But Yelu Dashi didn't understand this. The poison in the Zhongyuntai Academy was too deep. He clearly led a group of grassland herders, but he was determined to quote the Yuntai Han system and turn these strong and wild grassland herders into settled rural and commercial people.
Thirty thousand herders were armed enough to sweep the world. What's the use of 30,000 peasants and merchants? They were nothing more than the souls of the heroes of the grassland or obedient slaves.
Behind him, several Iron Harrier guards stood. These guards were nominally members of the Hexi Army, but in fact they were confidants brought by Xiao Heda from the Liao Kingdom. Seeing that he had been standing for a long time, a bearded man came forward and whispered: "The general military aircraft, the weather is getting colder now, and it is impossible for the Karakhans to counterattack... Suoye Town was taken down by our Khitan! With this military achievements, the general military aircraft and Dr. Dashi will definitely get great use from His Majesty."
Xiao Heda turned around and twitched the corner of his mouth and laughed: "Is this taken? If I want to leave with fullness, I will be as I wish this time. If I want to occupy it for a long time, it has just begun! Besides, what Dr. Dashi (referring to Yelu Dashi) was thinking in his heart was to establish a country in Shaye..."
"Stand up to one country?" The Khitan officer was stunned for a moment, "Is Dr. Dashi not a Khitan royal family? How could he be unfaithful to the Great Liao Dynasty and become independent in the Shattered Ye?"
Yelu Dashi and Xiao Heda finally had differences. Dashi wanted to establish a country in Shattered Ye, while Xiao Heda wanted to turn Shattered Ye into the territory of the Daliao Kingdom - the Khitans who followed Xiao Heda also meant this! And the Khitans who had originally settled in Yemili who followed Yelu Dashi only knew Dashi, but not Yanxi Palace!
At this time, under the city tower, several cavalry had already rushed straight from afar. Inside and outside the city gate, people were asking questions. The visitor just shouted: "Chief Leaf comes to see the military plane!"
Dozens of riders and horses swept through the layers of guards at the city gate like wind and went straight to the gatehouse. The knights surrounded a young man with strong muscles, handsome faces and beards. It was Yelu Dashi, who claimed to be the commander of the Thunder Ye Da.
After Dashi got off the horse, someone told him where Xiao Heda was, so he quickly walked up the stairs and arrived at the city tower and crossed his hands and bowed to Xiao Heda: "I've seen a military plane!"
Xiao Heda replied with a greeting and waved his hand to instruct his left and right: "You and others will retreat! I have something to discuss with Dr. Dashi."
The officers and guards behind him all bowed and retreated. On the city tower, only Yelu Dashi and Xiao Heda were left. Yelu Dashi looked smiling and asked, "Military aircraft, the weather is getting colder and colder. This Ruiye City is broken and there is no good house. Why not move into Balashaguon... Just one sentence, Ruiye is the country, and we are the Republic!"
Xiao Heda remained silent, and after a while, he slowly shook his head: "When the spring next year is warm, we should lead our troops away..."
Yelu Dashi raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "Are you leaving?"
Xiao Heda nodded silently, looking up at the desert in the distance, "The army commanded by Heda is finally the Hexi Jiedushi. Hexi Jiedushi can make Heda's soldiers come to this point, which is enough to repay the great kindness of the Khitan... But the Hexi Jiedushi himself also wants to use troops... Although the Lion Khan who was guarding Kashgar has been defeated, the Hexi Jiedushi hopes more than the two towns of Khotan and Shule. The wealthy land of the Indian in the south is the home that the Hexi Jiedushi wants...Doctor Dashi, when I leave, the Suoye Town still has to rely on the Great Liao Kingdom!"
Yelu Dashi had a smile on his face and whispered: "Save some people to leave for the broken leaves. The main soldiers are not good, right? At worst, I will recruit some people to go to war with you."
Xiao Heda frowned and said, "Most of the auxiliary soldiers in the Hexi army are Han people!"
Doctor Dashi smiled and said, "Aren't all the Han people in the Hexi army? Besides, this Suiye Town is originally a Khitan, Han, Uighur, Turkic, and Geluo people. Confucianism, Buddhism, Tianfang, Manichi, and Nestorians should also live in harmony here."
The five tribes have a republic, freedom of belief... They all sound like progress! Dashi is almost turning into a big head!
However, his "republic" and "freedom" also show his weakness. If he were not weak, he would have been king long ago!
"The five tribes are republic, and the religions are harmonious..." Xiao Heda smiled faintly, "You are generous, but what about the Turks? Can they let your country go?"
Dashi smiled and said, "Just just got the news that the Turkic Sultan Jabir is currently in the Kasheni Kingdom south of Kashgar, and the Broken Leaf cannot be found for the time being."
Xiao Heda was shocked and grabbed the battlement of the city wall: "Dr. Dashi, where did you know?"
Because there are many Karakhans and merchants from all over Central Asia in Balashaguang City, Xiao Heda and Dashitou have learned a lot of things in the West through them. They also know that the most powerful military force in the West is the army of the Seljuk Turkic Sultan Jabir (actually he is not the Sultan).
The Sultan of Jabir has never suffered a defeat since he led his troops independently. Under his quarrelsia, the originally divided Seljuk State has now gradually become unified.
Moreover, the Xikarakhan Dynasty, the neighbor of the Eastern Karakhan Dynasty, fought with Jabir five years ago, but it ended up killing the Khan's life!
If Jabir Sultan and Lion Khan join forces, Anxi's war may be reversed at any time!
Xiao Heda looked at Yelu Dashi and asked word by word: "Doctor, is this letter confirmed?"
Yelu Dashi smiled: "The soldiers of Han Dagou from Xiawanhu captured Yu Sufu, the prime minister of Lion Khan, in Shitou City. He was sent by Lion Khan to Isfahan for help, so he knew about the Turkic State."
Old man Yusufu was really in trouble. He asked for help in Isfahan but failed, but heard that Balashaguen was attacked by Ye Mili's Khitans. So he hurried back and wanted to organize a force to counterattack. As a result, he called for the Battle of Gods in Stone City (later Tashkent) northwest of the Fergana Basin. The Xiawanhu Han Dagou, sent by Yelu Dashi, arrived.
Yu Sufu, the old man, would not fight, and he would not defend the good Stone City, but he would lead his army to attack. As a result, Han Dagou used a trick to lure Yu Sufu's troops away from Stone City, and then surrounded and annihilate them. Although Ye Mili's Khitans were not elite, they were defeated by barbarism and simplicity, fearlessness, and obtained weapons and equipment provided by Gaochang Kingdom, as well as Han Dagou's professional command. Of course, it was not comparable to the mob recruited by Yu Sufu temporarily.
