The eighth year of Dazhi was destined to be a year full of blood and great changes on the grassland. In April, Jiegangas personally led a 50,000 army to expedition to Kedun City. The East and West Uighurs fought fiercely. The people of the Khikas were like a hungry wolf who was watching. Taking advantage of the empty military force of Han'erduo Bali, they sent troops to blood to wash the grassland and burned Han'erduo Bali. Hundreds of thousands of Uighurs were killed and captured, and there were no less than 300,000 Uighur herders fled to the Tang Dynasty. At the same time, Jiegangas defeated the East Uighurs west of Keduo City. The East Uighur Khan Yao Luo Geling died in battle. The remaining tribes defected to the Tang Dynasty. Jiegan

Gas immediately received news from Han'er Bali. He was furious and immediately led his army back. He encountered the army of the Khagas people in Xian'e River. After several days of fierce fighting, the Khagas people finally lost to the elite Uighurs and withdrew their troops back to Jianhe. Jiegan Gas's army also suffered heavy casualties and was unable to attack the Khagas people again. He gathered the Uighur herders and rebuilt the tent in the small town of Harin. At this time, the population controlled by the Uighurs was less than 200,000. Jiegan Gas's prestige was completely destroyed, and Ba Yigu, Tongluo, Sijie, Qiezi and other tribes had their own thoughts. The death knell of the demise of the Uighurs had already sounded.

Just less than a month after the grassland was calm, in mid-September, the Tang Dynasty's 200,000 troops attacked the northern part of the Mobei from Shuofang, Beiting and Suoye at the same time. A long-planned Battle of the Desert officially kicked off.

To the south of the Afu River, a tributary of Jianhe, a Tang army cavalry of about 6,000 people rushed towards the place where the tent of the Kiagas people were located like lightning. This was the Tang army led by Shi Yang, the vanguard of the Western Army. According to the emperor's deployment, the Tang army invited the Kiagas people to destroy the Uighurs.

The large army rushed up a hill, and saw a sword river in the distance, and a team of 100-man cavalry was rushing along the sword river. Shi Yang blocked the war horses. He recognized the leader from afar as Kurband, and he had sent people to inform the people of the Khalgas in advance.

"Shi Yang, is it you?" Kurband rushed up the hill, his honest face couldn't hide his excited smile. He pulled out an arrow and ran towards Shi Yang quickly.

"It's me!" Shi Yang also smiled and pulled out an arrow and rushed towards him. The two horses intertwined, and the two arrows collided in the air, and a hearty laughter sounded on the hills.

"Is the Tang Dynasty really going to formally attack the Uighurs?"

"That's right, I'm here to invite the people of Khagas to hunt the Uighurs together." Shi Yang and Kurband went side by side, and asked while walking, "I wonder what your Khan's attitude is?"

Kurband's face was a little heavy, and he remembered the roar of the Khan before leaving, "I worked hard to defeat the Uighurs, and the Tang Dynasty came to get the bargain. If I don't give me Mobei, I will never give up this time."

Kurband sighed and said nothing. Seeing that he seemed to be in a heavy mood, Shi Yang asked again: "Do you Khan refuse to send troops?"

"No, he will definitely send troops. He will not let this opportunity go, but he hopes that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty can allow us, the Kias people to replace the Uighurs' position in the northern desert."

After saying that, he stared at Shi Yang, "You said, do we people in the Kias have this blessing?"

Shi Yang shook his head, "I don't know, but I have a handwritten letter from His Majesty the Emperor to you Khan, and maybe there are answers he wants to know."

"Okay, let's speed up." The two of them whipped the war horse hard, and the horse accelerated and rushed towards the depths of the Jian River.

Two days later, thousands of Tang troops arrived at the location of the tents of the Kiagis people. This was the intersection of Afushui and Jianhe River. The land was rich and fertile, and thousands of tents were densely packed on the west bank of the Jianhe River. At this time, the Kiagis people were no longer the dilapidated people who were as anxious as the dogs of the family back then. Their own population was only more than 100,000, but they already had almost the same number of Uighur slaves as their population, and a large amount of robbed wealth. Each family's tent was full of various items, dressed brightly, and their faces were filled with satisfaction.

Khan Sudalo's huge round tent was even more magnificent. The carpet tassels stolen from the Uighur Palace were covered with large tents, and boxes of gold jewelry were piled up everywhere. The ground was filled with various utensils made of pure gold, so crowded that they almost disappeared. The entire tent was shining, as if it was a cave where treasures were hidden. Amid these jewels were lazily lying lazily, with almost transparent saros on their bodies. They were all stolen from the Uighur Palace, and now they all belonged to Sudalo's private property.

As Kurbend said, Sudaro was extremely dissatisfied with the Tang Dynasty's troops. He pointed to the south more than once and cursed. He believed that the destruction of the Uighurs was the credit of their Kiagas people, but the Tang Dynasty was picking the fruits of their victory. He could never tolerate this situation.

In the past two years, a series of victories and huge wealth have spoiled Sudaro. His ambitions have expanded, and he is determined to replace the Uighurs as the king of the northern desert. Of course, he thinks he has this condition. The Garlu people in the West and the Khitans in the East were originally his competitors, but they have already perished. In the entire northern desert, the only powerful nation is the Khikas people. If it weren't for them, who could have replaced the Uighurs? Sudaro completely forgot that his nation had only 200,000 people, and when the Uighurs were strong, there was more than 2 million people. How could he replace the Uighurs and dominate the Mobei?

Although Sudaro was furious for sending troops to the Tang Dynasty, he knew in his heart that the Khikas was far from being comparable to the powerful Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty had sent troops, so he could only see the Tang Dynasty's eyes, please please the Tang Dynasty, and try to get a piece of meat from the Tang Dynasty's bowl.

At dusk, Shi Yang led 200 cavalrymen to the camp of the Kurbend, and Sudaro personally greeted him. There was no feeling of dissatisfaction in his generous laughter. "I haven't seen him for a few years, General Shi seems to be even more burly and majestic."

Shi Yang turned over and dismounted, bowed to him and smiled, "Khan is the same, he has a more prairie overlord spirit."

"General Shi is really good at speaking, but I love to listen." Sudaro laughed loudly, pulled Shi Yang's arm and walked into his big tent quickly. After entering the big tent, the smug expression on his face could not be concealed. He glanced at Shi Yang slightly, trying to see shock or envy on his face, but he was disappointed. Shi Yang seemed indifferent to the big tent full of gold treasures, as if he hadn't seen it at all. At this time, dozens of beautiful women saw young distinguished guests coming and greeted him. Sudaro turned his eyes and pointed at these extremely charming women and said generously to Shi Yang: "How about it, do you like it? I'll give it to you three, General Shi will choose at will."

Shi Yang glanced at them, but was still unmoved. He took out Zhang Huan's handwritten letter from his arms, straightened his waist and said, "Khan, let's talk about the serious matter!"

When Sudalo saw the letter in Shi Yang's hand, his face slowly became solemn, and then waved his hand, "You all go to the back tent."

The women entered the inner tent from the small door behind. Sudaro asked Shi Yang to sit down, and then took the letter from the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to him and read it carefully. The letter was very clear, requiring the people of the Kiaga to send troops to destroy the Uighurs with the Tang army. If the people of the Kiaga work hard, as a reward, the Tang Dynasty could grant the vast land north of Wudejian Mountain (now Hangai Mountain), west of Xiaohai (now Baikal Lake), and east of Jinshan (now Altai Mountain), and clearly stated in the letter that the Tang Dynasty would appropriately relax the reward range of the Kiaga work hard in the destruction of the Uighurs.

After reading the letter, Sudaro bowed his head and said nothing. If the rewards were given in the letter of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the people of the Khikas could get half of the land of the Uighurs, which was far from his ambition. He also understood that the Tang Dynasty would not let them go west to the Yibohai, nor would they let them cross Wudejian Mountain. The appropriate relaxation of the Tang Dynasty refers to the land east of the Xiaohai. In fact, the rivers east of the Xiaohai and the grasslands are vast, which is the essence of the northern desert.

"Okay! I, the people of Kiaga, will exert their troops and cooperate with the Tang army to destroy the Uighurs. I will send troops tomorrow." Sudaro finally made up his mind that he would get the vast grassland east of the Xiaohai no matter what.

In October of the eighth year of Dazhi, the governor of Shuofang Li Shuangyu led 70,000 Shuofang Army and Li Guozhen, the governor of Beiting, who led 60,000 Beiting Army, to join forces on the banks of the Hunyi River. At the same time, the Western Regions Protector and the Deputy Commander of the North Envoy, Wang Siyu also led 70,000 Saoye Army to advance to the hinterland of the Uighurs, defeated the main force of the Uighurs in Harin City, captured more than 10,000 Uighurs. Jiegangas led only more than 10,000 people to flee northwest, but unexpectedly encountered 40,000 Kashi cavalry south to the south.

The drums were like thunder, and the shouts of killing were shocking the sky. The ten-mile-long grassland was covered with corpses of the Uighur army. The blood stained the earth red. The ferocious Khagas cavalry was like an avalanche torrent, surrounding the Uighur army and launching attacks again and again. The force was very different. The tired Uighur army could not resist the fierce attack of the Khagas cavalry. Jiegangas ordered a breakthrough. Under a desperate assault, two thousand cavalry guarded Jiegangas and finally rushed out of the encirclement of the Khagas people and fled northwest.

The sky finally dawned, and the gray mist covered the withered grassland. It was late autumn, and the grass leaves were covered with white frost and the cold air was blowing. On the east bank of the Yang River, an exhausted army came from afar. They were the remnants of Uighurs who escaped from the pursuit of the Kiagas people. There were only 1,200 people left, almost half of which were injured. This was the last Uighur army.

The soldiers came to the river and dismounted and drank water. Many of them were so tired that they fell asleep on the ground with their clothes. Jiegangas sat on a big rock. He looked at the distance with dull eyes. The originally powerful Uighurs disintegrated in the internal strife for several years. All of this originated from the Tang Dynasty's blockade on them, but the root of it was that they betrayed the Tang Dynasty, like a big tree leaving the land, gradually declining. At this moment, he didn't know where he should go? Dashi had abandoned him, the people of the Khikas were as deep as the sea of ​​hatred for him, and the Tang Dynasty officially declared war on him. He was like a desperate dog, but he did not want to accept the fate of death.

"God, please show me a clear way!" Jiegangas shouted to heaven in pain. God seemed to respond to him, and a rumbling thunder sounded slightly. Jiegangas was stunned. All the Uighur soldiers who were drinking water by the river were stunned. He stood still and listened to the coming of the muffled thunder.

Suddenly, a Uighur soldier pointed to the north and trembled all over. He was so scared that he couldn't even say a word. The Uighur soldiers saw a vast Tang army three miles away, with their hooves sounded like thunder and murderous aura soaring into the sky. The Uighur soldiers called out in horror, turning over their horses, and even not caring about their companions who were still sleeping on the ground. Jiegangas reacted the fastest. He rode his horse and fled west desperately, but the Tang army was as fast as he flew and caught up with the fleeing enemy.

On the grassland, the surging 5,000 iron-armored cavalry of Tang army were like a reckless iron stream. They rushed forward, pushed forward, smashed everything, and rushed forward. The sharp long halberd pierced the enemy's chest, the cold sword cut off the enemy's neck, the sword hit the sword, and the crackling sound of the knife slashing the human bones, the groans of the people, and the terrible giggles before the dying people died, rising one after another on the grassland. The last army of the Uighurs collapsed instantly and fled in all directions without any goal.

Shi Yang waved his long halberd and took off a centurion. Facing the terrified cry of the centurion on the ground, he ruthlessly pierced his chest with the long halberd. Shi Yang then chopped off the head and hung it on his saddle. At this time, he suddenly found that more than a dozen Uighur soldiers were fleeing south by a general wearing a golden helmet. He immediately rode his horse to chase him.

Shi Yang's war horse came from the big food. The horse was like a flying dragon, like a flying cloud and a fog. He immediately chased the enemy thirty steps away. He hung his long spear, drew his crossbow and installed arrows. The arrow flew away like a meteor, and one arrow was as fast as an arrow. The arrow shot out as a perfect shot. In a moment, more than a dozen Uighurs were shot to death. At this time, only the generals wearing golden helmets were left. Shi Yang suddenly stopped the war horse, installed a armored arrow with his name engraved on it, aiming at the back of the enemy's general's neck. He smiled coldly, and the arrow shot out like lightning, and in an instant it reached the back of the enemy's neck.

At this time, Jiegangas was scared to death by the magic arrows chasing the Tang army. He suddenly heard the sound of the other party's horse hooves disappear. He couldn't help but look back and saw a cold arrow appearing in front of him. The cold light on the arrow seemed to be the last grin of the god of death. Jiegangas felt a sharp pain in his eyebrows, and penetrated his armored arrows into his head, nailing the last Khan of the Uighurs to the vast grassland.

On October 18, the eighth year of Dazhi, with the death of Jiegangas, the Uighurs, which had dominated the grassland for more than 100 years, finally destroyed.

In late November, when the first light snow fell on the grassland, Zhang Huan arrived at Harin City at the foot of Wudejian Mountain under the escort of 20,000 Yulin Army. There were 40,000 Khikas cavalry and 70,000 Shattered Ye Army stationed around Harin City, and there was no trace of Shuofang Army and Beiting Army, so I don’t know where they are now.

The arrival of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was like a grand festival on the grassland. The two armies killed cows and sheep, ignited a bonfire to the sky, and placed a sumptuous banquet. The table was filled with whole golden sheep. The soldiers were granted permission to drink a bucket of milk wine and sheep wine to celebrate the decades of shame that the Tang Dynasty had been washed away by snow.

Looking from the sky, there were bonfires of all sizes on the grassland of more than ten miles. The Tang army and the Kias cavalry gathered together, and the noise resounded throughout the world. Next to the main tent, Zhang Huan sat by the huge bonfire, looking excitedly at the two Kias warriors performing wrestling in the open space, constantly cheering for them, and the hot flames reddished his face.

Sitting on the left and right were the commander of the Shattered Ye Army, Wang Siyu and Khan Sudaro of the Khan of the Khan of the Khan Sudaro. Sudaro picked up a bowl of sheep wine and drank it all, and said to Zhang Huan with emotion: "Your Majesty, I never expected that General Shi would be His Majesty's adopted son. As expected, he was extremely brave and killed Jiegangas with his hand and made unparalleled contributions."

Wang Siyu next to him also smiled and said, "This kid is very lucky. Not only was Jiegangas killed by him, but the great chief of Geluo, Arthuran, also died under his arrow."

"It's really just that he's lucky." Zhang Huan smiled slightly, ordered someone to call Shi Yang and said to him: "If I don't reward you, I'm afraid that the army will not accept it, but I'm too young to be you, and I'm afraid that you can't afford it. Tell me, what should I do?"

Shi Yang knelt down on one knee and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I will not give you rewards. Please ask Your Majesty to give you five thousand brothers to reward me."

Zhang Huan nodded and agreed to him, "Okay! I will give you 50,000 stag of money and 5,000 pieces of silk to your army, and you will give it to your brothers."

"Thank you for your gift!" After saying that, Shi Yang stood up and said goodbye. Sudaro next to him turned his eyes and suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Your Majesty will not reward you, I will reward you, come!"

Two guards came up immediately, and Sudaro ordered them, "Go and bring the sword I got from the Uighur Palace."

The guard quickly held a sword, and Sudaro pointed at the sword and said to Zhang Huan: "Your Majesty, this is obtained by me from the Uighur Palace. It is cut iron like mud and is extremely sharp. I am willing to reward it to General Shi."

Speaking of this, Sudaro suddenly said, "I have always thought that if I have made merits, I should reward you. This is the way to be the chief general. Your Majesty thinks what I said is correct?"

Zhang Huan understood what he meant, and he smiled indifferently and said to Shi Yang: "Khan is right. If you have any contribution, you should reward him. Just accept this sword!"

Shi Yang bowed, took the sword and left strode. Zhang Huan looked at his back and smiled at Sudaro: "I promised you that as long as you serve me, I will never treat you in vain. I officially promise you that the territory of the people of the Kias can extend east to Kedun City."

Sudaro was overjoyed. As a result, most of the Uighur land belonged to him. He knelt down and said loudly: "My Sudaro is willing to serve His Majesty loyally, and the Khikas has been a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty for generations."

Zhang Huan looked at him and smiled without saying a word. Inadvertently, a trace of cold chill flashed in his eyes.
