Chapter eight hundred and twentieth before escaping
At the end of November, two caravans that briefly met in Putao City set off on the next day. On the Gobi Desert, sandstorms and dust rose up in the cold wind of the winter, and Putao City appeared and appeared faintly.
Those tragic stories inspired everyone!
It makes people want to immediately restore the Western Regions, rescue them, and rescue their compatriots who were in pain and moaning under Hu's horse hooves.
However, thinking is useless. It must be implemented in action.
The camel bells jingled on the Gobi Desert. In Putao City, after preaching the order to kill Hu and abolish Han slaves, nearly a hundred caravans walked forward.

In early September of the 18th year of Yongzhi, the Battle of Beishan ended and the Zhou army won a great victory. In October, Kucha was captured by the Zhou army. In November, news spread throughout the Western Regions.
On the second day of December, in Hami City, the city is broken, and the streets are like winter, with no one being cold.
At noon, in the restaurant on Hami City Street, the nominal commander of the 50,000 coalition forces, Baye Gu Xiaode, summoned thousands of households and the governor of the four tribes to discuss matters. Except for the thousand households in the city that control the army inside and outside the city, there were 36 Hu generals.
Together with the Luo clan general Poshi and Utre, the Uighur general, were there. These two men led nearly 30,000 people and occupied most of the remaining army!
The social organizational structure of the barbarians is the tribe, and the following is the tribe, and then the surname and family are divided into surnames.
Taking the Mongols as an example, Mongolia is a tribe name. Their customs and languages are the same. Before Genghis Khan's unification, there were also Tartars, Meyer-beggars and others on the Mongolian Plateau. After they were conquered, they were all listed as Mongolian tribes.
Genghis Khan came from the Qiyan tribe of Mongolia. After the death of Khan Hutula Khan of the Mongols, the Mongols were classified as Taichiwu tribe and Qiyan tribe. Genghis Khan's father Yesugai was the leader of the Qiyan tribe.
These are two large tribes, and there are many small tribes below that depend on them.
There are many surnames in the Qiyan tribe. The nobles in the tribe may be a small tribe with a single surname, or they may be composed of several surnames. The herdsmen and slaves under them form the most basic family unit.
At this moment, this is the case in the city of Hami, Mobei, Tongluo, Xue Yan, Uighur, and the real ones should be called Tiel people. However, their powerful power is equivalent to a separate tribe. There are tribes of different sizes under each race.
The 50,000 remaining troops belong to four tribes, but they are composed of many small tribes. For example, Tongluo, the Uighurs are not bad, with flags and generals. But like Bayegu, Xue Yan is purely a scattered sand, and there are also small tribes that depend on like Fu Chong, the leader of Tuyuhun.
In the cold winter, the wind is cold outside Hami City. In the restaurant, there is a stove and a large pot of mutton in it. The hot steam is simmering and the aroma of fat is overflowing.
The Hu generals sat in sequence.
Baye Gu Xiaode was 16 years old at the time. He sat in the main seat, looked around at the generals, and slowly spoke: "Kucha was captured by the Zhou army. I have decided to lead the army back to Beiting. Contact Shatu, Tuqishi, Gelu and other troops, and then fight with the Zhou army."
As soon as Bayegu Xiaode finished speaking, five or six Hu generals in the hall immediately opposed it. One of them sneered: "General Xiaode put the charge of the loss of the army on Tomen Taiji, and we all agree. But you are trying to escape like a coward. With such courage, how can you be the commander of the coalition army?"
This is a nobleman from the Baye Gu tribe, Ren Qianhu.
"Haha!" More than a dozen people laughed out loud in the hall. This made the hall feel full of laughter. From this we can see that the young commander Baye Gu Xiaode has the prestige in the coalition.
Bayegu Xiaode was originally a leader of a small tribe who was attached to the Chahar tribe in Mongolia. He fled to the north of the Mo River and was favored by the princess of Wan and almost became the son-in-law, so he had a status in the army. Now, he married the Tumen wife, Uniger. What is this?
At this time, General Luo, spoke: "Xiaode is the commander of our coalition, and his decision is mine. Why are you laughing at? "
The laughter in the hall suddenly came to an abrupt end.
Utre said coldly: "It's winter now, and the Zhou army is peeping at Rouyuan City. How can we travel through the desert and attack Kucha? If Kucha is not lost, we will naturally go to Kucha. Now, we can only go to Beiting. If you want to die, don't drag us."
The two generals made a statement, and the harmony suddenly rang out. The other four nobles of the tribes naturally did not dare to say more.
Bayegu Xiaode patted the armrest of the wooden chair, a cruel smile appeared on his face, and said coldly: "Since everyone agrees, then it's settled. Bayegu Murong challenged my authority in public, and came, dragged him down and chopped him down."
"Dare you?" Bayegu Murong jumped up angrily.
but…
Several Tuyuhun's armored soldiers came in, chopped over Bayegu Murong, and dragged them out. The hall was silent.
The rebellion outside, as well as Bayegu Murong's confidants and sons, naturally, went to deal with the Luo tribe.
Bayegu Xiaode smiled slightly. After announcing his first order after consolidating his power, "Kill all the old and children of the Han people. We are about to abandon the city and go to Beiting to spend the winter." His tribe, his personal guards, depend on his Tuyuhun tribe, and with the tribe that annexed Bayegu Murong, his power will increase to 3,000. In the future, his tribe will have more.
…
…
In the east of Hami City, in Baye Gu Xiaode's camp, Baye Gu Xiaode accepted the allegiance of several small tribe leaders who took the initiative to vote and returned to the tent behind.
The slender young woman, beautiful Unige, was busy in the tent, directing slaves to put away their accessories and clothes. The 22-year-old young woman has fair skin, and is protruding where she should be protruding and round where she should be round. She is as delicate as water, and has charming charm.
Seeing Bayegu Xiaode coming in wearing armor, Unirie smiled and greeted him, "The general is back." He served Bayegu Xiaode to change his clothes and advised him, "I heard that the general was going to kill thousands of old men and children in the city, which is probably going to make the Han slaves resist!"
Bayegu Xiaode sat in the chair, pinched Unigee's face, pulled her into his arms, and smiled and said, "My princess, if you want to show kindness and righteousness, it depends on the timing. There is not much food in the army." He likes to call Unigee the princess. This can increase his interest in controlling her.
The real reason he said this was actually: he wanted the Han people to taste the pain he had experienced.
Uniry lowered his eyelids slightly. He felt a little regretful. He was filial and virtuous. Although he was young, he was talented. Moreover, this person was very bloodthirsty. In the future, he was afraid that he would lose in this matter.
She should probably consider her future.
…
…
On the night of the fifth day of the twelfth month, the crescent moon walked through the clouds. In the quiet Hami city, there was silence. Thousands of Hu cavalry gathered in the city. The sword light and horse hooves shone coldly in the moonlit night.
