Regardless of the trouble that the Bohai State would have if it took in Mo Huali, the great victory in the Northeast War, which lasted for more than a year, made the countries in the Dayu territory boil. The people of the Western Regions were overjoyed, and they were willing to ask the Dayu garrison to defend the Western Territory and prevent the return of Yueji and the Mughu. Of course, it would be best if they could follow in the footsteps of the Muguls and continue to occupy the territory of Yuejibi, so that they would become working people who could not ride horses and were only good at digging and cutting trees and planting land, just like the Fierce Barbarians. The Khmer, Siam and Chenla in the South Seas are a bit of a bad thing, and since Annam and Pyu have become part of Dayu, they can no longer bully them from time to time. Being caught in the middle of a powerful neighbor is a normal person who has a sense of crisis, although he is not oppressed and not to the point of resisting, but the thorns in his back are also uncomfortable.

However, the Privy Council did not rejoice more at this victory, because the victory was due to the crushing of equipment, which exposed many problems from a strategic point of view. First, from Gu Yao's point of view, when formulating tactics, the Zhenbei Army did not adhere to the principle of battle, that is, to concentrate superior forces to fight in one place, but instead allowed Wang Gubei and Xu Lie to form an absolute advantage to clean up Zhai Jun, so there were heavy casualties along the way; Second, the time for the Hubei people to integrate into Dayu is still short, and there is no targeted training and cooperation, so it is better to join forces in Zhenbei by themselves; Third, the original intention of Baicheng's 'soldiers who surrender without a fight' is good, and if the beggars are not caught in the quagmire of the moon and the great food, this way of dealing with it is the most appropriate. But now it seems that leaving a hand tail and burying hidden dangers in the Bohai State may be more passive in the future.

Of course, the above questions do not mean that Gu Chong, the commander-in-chief, has made a major mistake, but that there is no way to do it. The division of troops is helpless, the Mughal people are notorious, and if they are not stopped all the way, there will be a village that will be ruined. If the Ebe people who are familiar with the local situation do not join, or if the Ebes are allowed to fight independently, I am afraid that this time the casualties will be more serious, and the lesser of the two evils will be compared. As for the problem of wiping Huali, the problem highlighted by the incident is that the strength of the Xianbei people has increased again, and dragging the Bohai Kingdom, which was originally stupid and squatting on the side and eating melon seeds, has nothing to do with the Zhenbei Army. Therefore, the Privy Council summed up the experience and lessons of this narrow victory, readjusted its strategy against the Bohai State, and planned to first plot against Tusaheli to prevent the Bohai State from becoming the second recuperating barbarian tribe.

What is surprising is that the person who sang about the decline of the Zhenbei Army before submitted the article again, and the gains and losses of the Northeast Battle and the follow-up measures he summarized coincided with the opinion of the Privy Council, and even pointed out that he could first reach a tacit agreement with Yelu, and use the excuse of wiping Huali as an excuse to raid Yilan and sit and watch the civil war in the Sanjiang Plain and the Changbai Mountains. Although this person was anonymous, the emperor still instructed Jinyiwei to hand over his details to the Ministry of Public Opinion Shangshu Chi Rui, and if suitable, he could be promoted to the post.

Zhai Jun was promoted two levels in a row to a second-rank deputy general by virtue of his merits, and Zhong Nai was one level lower than him as a general, narrowing the gap with Rong Lin. Hailincha and Agdi made up for their captains, and the Hubei war dead should be compensated for the soldiers and respect their customs, and the martyrs' tombs should be made in Xianzhou Kailin Garden.

Now the third northeastern defense line advanced beyond the 'Anda' (Daqing) across the river from Mulan. This is a key city that Gu Ci deliberately marked as having the potential to produce fierce fire oil, and it can form a horn watch with Buyeo to deter Mulan. The defense line of Daxianbei Mountain should also be stepped up to prevent the Mugwu people from looking at the Jianhe River (Erguna River) in the north of Lubin from going south.

Since Beiguan 2.0 was renamed 'Daning', there is no longer the title of 'Beiguan', regardless of the difference between inside and outside, there are city names and places are all land!

***********************

The self-defeating actions of the Martyrs and the subsequent humiliating surrender of nearly 40,000 people to become 'slaves' of Dayu did not attract much attention from the Gang Qin and Bahehei, who were a little 'happy' after entering the low-lying region with a warm climate.

On the one hand, to the west of the Tianshan Mountains and the Green Mountains, all the way to Zhuozhanghai and Bendu Sea, this piece is a vast flat land, mixed with oases and desert grasslands, and a proper horse and a flat river to go over. On the other hand, Yue is a nation on horseback like the Mengwu people, and the level of civilization is far worse than that of Dayu, at least there is no black iron lump, and it can blow up a piece of people and horses into slag, and the advantage of the Mongolian army is very obvious. Moreover, Da Shi handed over an olive branch and took the initiative to send a caravan to trade with the Muguls, which was much more powerful than the small countries in the Western Regions.

The route of the mediation was Almaty-Broken Leaf-Talas, and this line concentrated the superior forces of Yuejibe. The Bahei plan to fight all the way from Tash to the small countries or large cities of Kangju (Samarkand), Wudi (Bukhara), Mulu (Mare), Tus (Mashhad), and Hechun (Fandou) all the way to Rai (Tehran) on the shore of the sea of Pontus - does it matter whether these cities belong to the moon or the big eclipse?

Wanting to help Bahkh, the Great Eclipse Monarch of Banda (Baghdad), Muttadi Mifi not only sent a large number of scholars and guides led by Hillard to help, but also hoped to send troops from Ray to the east to join Bahkh and go south with him on the grounds of forming an alliance. Fools know that the territory laid down by the big cannibals has nothing to do with the vultures, but in order to ensure that the trade road is opened as soon as possible and reduce the pressure on the side of the Qin, Bahei still agreed.

It's a big deal to free up your hands and then report - I believe that Bahei's inner OS must be sauce purple drops!

The pressure on Tunas's side came from Talas, Almaty and Broken Leaf were included in the reserve by Dayu, and he didn't want to start any more disputes, so he took his money and left, and besieged Talas. Ye Suhai was very irritable with his 'cowardice', and the two often clashed, and in order to maintain his prestige, he simply kicked him to the west of the river to play by himself.

The architects of the moon are very powerful, and in the Kangju grassland, all the ancient cities of the moon are one word, high. Whether it is wind and rain or scorching heat, the damp-proof and shock-absorbing base made of river sand and the clay bricks have survived the invasion of war and time, and can still remain intact after thousands of years. Even more bizarre, these high-walled ancient cities are located far from the water source and on natural highlands, often with towering castles. Completely defeated in the field, Yue is the others, and can only pin his hope on these delicate and solid city walls.

If there is someone to kill, Suhai will no longer bother to work hard, and go all the way to solve the ancient cities of Red City Kazil, Tucheng Toprak, and Wind City Ayas. He could think carefully about how he could successfully cut off the head of his father's killer in Talas, a 'holy place protected by Huda'.

At this time, Suhai had already crossed the Syr River (Syr Darya) and killed the Jade Dragon Chijie on the banks of the Wuhu River (Amu Darya), Bahei rested in Mulu, and the Great Cannibal took Hamadan, and on the way to Rey, he was entangled with the Assasin of the 'Assassin Sect' who were good at assassination in Muxiyi.

More detailed news was brought back to Beijing by Gu Xi from the Western Regions, whether it was the Privy Council or the editors of the newspapers, they all believed that the move of the Ministry of Beggars should be warned and analyzed, and Shenzong specially summoned the Privy Council and the Chongzheng Yuan of Shangshu and Zhengqing to discuss the meeting, and the prince attended.

This person's name is Zhou Ting, the word Daguan, the youngest sister-in-law of the Hou Shizi of Qixiang, the cousin of Zhou Mai, the son-in-law of the Gu family, and he is also a person who has just returned from a trip in the Nanyang area and is ready to end next year. He has always been idle, love to read miscellaneous books and do not like the imperial examination, so that the elders have a headache, after playing a circle, he paid out of his own pocket in the royal bookstore to engrave his own "Zhenla Feng Tu Ji", which was very well received by Shilin, so that his family changed their opinion of him.

In view of Gu Ci's cultivation, Ah Sheng not only listened to Zhou Ting's introduction to the background of Talas, but also liked to ask about the geography of this place, and prepared to talk to his mother after the meeting.

***********************

Talas in the Han Dynasty is the Xiongnu Zhizhi Shan who fled westward to borrow the land of Kangju to build the Zhizhi City, backed by a branch of the Tianshan Mountains, the north and south of the Seven Rivers area, the north and south of the mountain range are large deserts, only here is one of the seven rivers alluvial oasis. At that time, Zhizhishan joined forces with Kangju and defeated Wusun, and the places occupied by Wusun included the Qihe region where Talas was located, the Ningyuan River Valley, the southwest of the Jungger Basin, and even the western vein of Tianshan. It can be seen that the location of Talas is very important for connecting the Seven Rivers region with the two places of Junggar and Ningyuan.

It's a pity that this place is not as famous as Li Bai's birthplace, Xiaye, so few people know that when the poet in his fifties was in high spirits in Chang'an, the Tang Empire in the east and the Great Food Empire in the west had an extremely far-reaching decisive battle here.

If Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and Baoda, the capital of the Great Food, are the starting and ending points of the northern route of the Silk Road, then Talas is in an intermediate position, and controlling this place is equivalent to controlling the most convenient and easy trade route. What's more, from the two capitals to Talas, they have to cross two great deserts, and if either side is defeated, its defense line will naturally have to retreat behind the two barren lands, and then this large territory in the middle can be brought into the hands of the victorious side. THAT IS, THE BIG CANNIBAL WAS DEFEATED, AND THE TANG ARMY COULD DRIVE STRAIGHT INTO THE PERSIAN PLATEAU WITH THE TURBAN ARMY SAYHI, ON THE CONTRARY, THE TANG GG, DUNHUANG MIGHT USHER IN THE BIG CANNIBAL CAVALRY, AND NO MATTER HOW MISERABLE, THE ENTIRE WESTERN REGIONS COULD NOT BE SAVED.

Abbas, the king of the Great Food Kingdom who had just usurped the throne and the 'Khairifan (Caliphate)', knew this well, and he could not afford to lose compared to Emperor Tang Ming, who was busy picking ashes with his daughter-in-law and had no sense of crisis, so the army poured out of the nest and ordered the general Abu to lead more than 100,000 people to trek through mountains and rivers.

On the Tang army's side, there were only about 30,000 people under the command of the famous Goryeo general Gao Xianzhi, and he had successfully carried out two western expeditions before. The first expedition to the west was to enter the Green Mountains and the Great Snow Mountains, pack up the big and small Bolu, and open up the southern route of the Silk Road; The second westward expedition was to deter the small countries on the middle line of the Silk Road south of the Tianshan Mountains and north of the Tarim Basin. This victory caused the prince of Stone Kingdom to run and hug Da Shi's thigh, and the two powerful empires were inevitably about to collide. Gao Xianzhi took the initiative to launch the Third Western Expedition and attacked Talas from the northern front of the Silk Road, in order to fully control the three Silk Roads in the Western Regions.

It's a pity that good luck is always 'one can not be three', Gao Xianzhi, who didn't do any intelligence work beforehand, took his sleeves and attacked Talas with 'only a few hundred people', and the ending was naturally not too good.

Even so, a famous general is a famous general, at that time, the Talas garrisoned by 40,000 cannibals was almost lost, if it weren't for the big food reinforcements rushing to the battlefield in a hurry and launching a surprise attack from behind, and a handful of Turks requisitioned by the Tang army defected again, Gao Xianzhi may not necessarily lose so badly - 10,000 Tang troops were killed, 10,000 were captured, and the Tang Dynasty only had a few thousand troops left in the entire Western Regions. Of course, the big food is not much better, the same heavy losses, unable to move eastward.

Tubo took advantage of the chaos to go down the plateau to pick up the leaks, and the Tang army, which recovered quickly in a year, under the leadership of Feng Changqing, abused them into dogs, and after breaking their muscles and bones, they were quiet for nearly a hundred years.

The Great Eclipse once established its hegemony west of the Tianshan Mountains and the Green Mountains, and although it was unable to continue its eastward invasion, it started the process of spreading the Heavenly Fang Sect in the Western Regions. Papermaking also spread to Central Asia, the Middle East and Europe with the captives of the Tang Army, and Du Huan, the author of "Jing Xingji", traveled around the world as a prisoner and wrote a book.

There was also one of the most direct consequences of this decisive battle between the East and the West - the Anshi Rebellion. Tang Xuanzong transferred the defenders near Chang'an to the Western Regions to deal with Tibet, giving An Lushan an excellent opportunity to rebel.

What is even more ironic is that the kings of the two countries later listened to the rumors and killed Gao Xianzhi and Abu respectively, so the Tang Dynasty fell into a state of separating the feudal towns, and the Great Food was busy quelling the large-scale civil strife caused by the killing of the rebels.

Later, the Ding Dynasty also had a battle in Talas, and the grandson of Dingmuzong, Liezong, learned the lesson of the Dirty Tang Dynasty, and threw all the most brave and warlike nomads to the Western Regions, just like letting An Lushan replace Gao Xianzhi, with the restless factor in their blood, they were naturally very willing to fight all the way to Baoda to see the two river valleys. The leading general is the Khitan Shita Yangu, who respects folk customs, administers benevolent policies, pays taxes lightly, and is very patient to spend several years collecting intelligence, gathering the hearts of the people in the Western Regions again, and completing what Gao Xianzhi, who loves to accumulate wealth, cannot do. In addition, the Heavenly Sect imposed heavy taxes on the infidels in order to open the source, which was greatly opposed in various countries, and the number of believers was sharply reduced, with the help of Han Buddhism, Shita Yangu exterminated many Heavenly Sect officials and generals, and the control of the Great Food over the Western Regions gradually weakened, and the Western Regions slowly returned to the embrace of the Buddha Kingdom.

At that time, Yue, which had not yet established a country and was not in the territory of the Ding Dynasty, occupied the Hanzhong region, and borrowed the way to give Da Shishi, so that he could take the initiative to provoke Shitayan Valley and fight Talas again. The reason why Da Shi chose this place is precisely because he feels that relying on the 'holy land protected by Huda', the eastern forces have never been able to get close to Da Shi's territory, and the last time Allah let the Celestial Cultists win such an important battle, this time will be no exception.

Things really went according to the wish of the great cannibal, Shitayan Valley was captured and committed suicide, and more than 10,000 of his men drowned in the river. Yue, who has been suppressed by the Ding Dynasty, found that the Ding army was not invincible, and at the same time, the strength of the Great Food was also greatly damaged, and began the process of establishing itself as a country, and since then, the attitude towards the Heavenly Sect is not as disgusted as other countries in the Western Regions, and the superstition of Talas has made them choose this place as the national capital.

The First Battle of Talas made the territory of the Tang Dynasty shrink a lot, and the Second Battle of Talas stopped the westward expansion of the Ding Dynasty, and the moon was used as a buffer zone between the Great Food and China, hovering between Buddhism and Tianfangism, and also affected Almaty, Xiaye, Ningyuan and other places, producing a small group of Tianfangists.

Now, Talas, the land of 'a road from ancient Huashan', is not the home of the Muguls at all. As the national capital, it is protected by no less than 80,000 elite soldiers, plus the supplementary military strength that can fight in the city, it is conservatively estimated that the military strength is around 200,000, not to mention that this is the 'death place' of non-Heavenly Sectists. If we don't want to repeat the mistakes of the past, we must do a better job than the Tang Army and the Ding Army of the past.

***********************

Gu Ci listened attentively to Ah Sheng's relaying of 'Talas's past and present life' to her, and while lamenting the 5,000-year-old Chinese history he had memorized, he couldn't help but compare Genghis Khan, who also loved the Western Expedition, with Tang Xuanzong. When he heard the Anshi Rebellion, he almost burst into a rude mouth - Emperor Tang Ming, who was still busy flirting in his early years, left such a mess from prosperity to decline to future generations, and Temujin, who was also at the same age, was thinking about how to cross the pass of Talas and go to the west. Although the two may not differ much in ability and intelligence, driven by different goals in life, the butcher wears the crown of the conqueror of the world, while the old rascal leaves people with only the memory of amorous affection.

Wrapping up the argument - the descendants of the Ash Party!

Then the mother hugged her son who began to grow and taught him earnestly, and insisted on raising him into a career-oriented man, even if he was old, he had to work hard, and he couldn't waste energy on women.

The content of the conversation between mother and son was soon known to the emperor, and that night he pinched his wife's waist to 'teach a lesson'. When the clouds dispersed and the rain stopped, the two posted a whisper, and Yuan Yi began to get to the bottom of it.

"What do you mean by 'seven believers are sufficient'? What he will have to manage in the future is a hundred civil and military officials, and thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. ”

"The number of people that a person can directly control is the most reasonable within seven people, and if there are more, it will inevitably take care of one or the other, and the efficiency will be low......" Gu Ci buried his head in his arms embarrassedly, "Someone has studied, the management range is up to seven people, and the most effective level is three levels." That's all I remember......"

"Pretty reasonable. What is the saying of the 'merits and demerits of the Ten Emperors' in the back? ”

“…… It's not, worried...... The evening festival is not guaranteed! ”

The emperors of the past dynasties, who were not guaranteed to survive the evening in the afternoon, were dazzled by the little eyes of their son's admiration, and they leaked their mouths for a while, and the CHAIRMAN's evaluation of many emperors was also shaken out.

For example, Mao Weiren's evaluation of Emperor Xin is not low, 'able to write and martial arts', unified Dongyi and the Central Plains, if it were not for the failure to deal with the problem of prisoners, he would not have been taken advantage of by King Wu of Zhou; Qin Shi Huang was much greater than Confucius, advocating the rule of law, and there was a degree to be cut; Confucianism advocated thick ancient and thin modern, 'full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, a belly of male thieves and prostitutes'; old and rough characters, Han Gaozu 'won the world because of the right decision, Second, because of the proper use of people', he listened to persuasion and was pragmatic, he was able to pull down his face, and he was the most powerful emperor; Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty 'has no one on the right hand of Li Shimin since ancient times'; and then there was Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty who had a violent personality, although his practices 'contained great chaos', but like Qin Shi Huang, he created the Sui system and passed it on for thousands of years, and he was a politician with unique vision.

The above six emperors are still mainly praised, so the others are not so good. Although Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu of Liang, was her own ancestor, she still said the comment that 'listening to adultery, being alone in chaos, and Liang Wu Youyan', even if her personal ethics were good and she was not close to women, she indulged in religious beliefs in the later period, and 'the villain is advancing day by day, and the good Zuo is far away', and she will eventually fail; Emperor Tang Ming, like Xiao Yan, will be the emperor in the first half of his life, but will not be able to do it in the second half of his life, and he is also a typical representative of the late festival.

"It's a bit interesting, who else didn't say it?"

"There are a lot, but a few of them are not emperors here." She smiled and added a few impressive characters - Cao Cao was a great politician, a military strategist, and a great poet; Xiang Yu's sentence 'You can't sell your name as a scholar overlord' can be summed up; 'Kang Yanxiao's strategy, Li Cunxuan's decision, and Guo Chongtao's help, these three people can be described as handsome men who know the current affairs'; Zhao Guangyi does not know soldiers, governs the country with skills, and is a villain.

"Why don't you learn all the poetics of the item?"

Gu Ci pouted, recited it again, felt like a teacher memorizing the text, read the famous "Qinyuan Spring Snow" again, gently traced the handsome side face of the man next to the pillow with his fingers, and stroked a pair of bright dark eyes, "Isn't this word very much to your liking?" ”

"I thought that the most important thing in this life would be to restore the Han Domain." Yuan Yi looked at her lovingly, and pecked and kissed, "You brought me so many surprises." ”

"However, I will not be able to help more and more in the future."

The fork in the road of history is getting farther and farther, and it has long exceeded her memory, and the Muguls without Temujin actually gave up the rich Central Plains and went directly to the west. Genghis Khan and his descendants relied on the strength of the Central Plains to conquer all directions for decades, and where did the current Mughal people have the logistical reserves to support the western expedition?

"You and the kids have helped me a lot." Yuan Yi smiled and kissed her.

"yes, at least I can still have a baby!"

***********************

The advantages that Qin Qin has over Gao Xianzhi and Shita Yangu are: first, his brothers have not been stopped in the Western Regions, and have entered the hinterland of the moon to play happily; Second, through the 'concessions' of Bahkh to the territory of Yue, the Mughal envoys had already gone to Baoda and Damascus to recruit skilled craftsmen and make siege equipment, so he was not in a hurry to attack, as long as he did not let the people in the city come out, and without reinforcements, sooner or later he would consume Salaman Khan.

In order to speed up the invasion of other cities and break down the defenses of Talas, the first thing he did after succeeding to the throne of Khan was to issue an edict to all the Mughal people - take Tash as a precept, those who surrender will not be killed when they enter the city, and those who will be wounded by the Mongol soldiers will not be left behind.

Bahhei was glad to obey this order, because what the Great Food wanted was a rich city and an abundant taxable population, and it would be a waste for the Muguls to slaughter a scorched wilderness everywhere!

Su Hai didn't pay attention to it at all, took the initiative to create conflicts, or let the Meng soldiers be injured, whether you surrender or not, anyway, Lao Tzu wants to kill.

But after Tash became synonymous with 'rather die than give in', so far, not a single city has taken the initiative to surrender. The Red City and Tucheng are deserted, the Windy City is full of hungry mayflies, Kangju has come to naught, Bukhara is dead, Bahei is dissuaded by Hillard in Mulu, and Jade Dragon Chijie is still resisting bravely.

In the nightmare brought by the Mughal people, Central Asia has been experiencing a cold winter, and the scorching summer sun has not made the moon feel warm to others.

Guarding the Jade Dragon Chijie was Musuman, who had lost his beloved son, and refused to surrender with 110,000 defenders and 100,000 residents. The city is next to the Wuhu River (Amu Darya) and is located downstream, east of Zhuozhanghai and south of Ala Sea (Aral Sea). Ye Suhai first led a small part of the forward army to the city, and the army swept the perimeter in three ways and then closed it. At first, the Mongol army plundered and guerrilla outside the city, led the defenders out of the city to drive away, and then attacked violently, killing a large number of people. I wanted to follow the moon and break through the city gate, but unfortunately it was dark, so I had to withdraw. After clearing the surrounding area and getting sufficient supplies, the army began to besiege the city, build fortifications around the city, fill in the trenches, build ladders and crash cars and began to storm, but was repeatedly repulsed by the stubborn defenders.

The impatient also found that the city relied on the Wuhu River to survive, and sent 3,000 men to seize the bridge across the river. In order to defend this life bridge, which is closely related to the lives of the whole city, the people in the city rushed to the bridgehead spontaneously to surround the Mongolian soldiers and annihilate them all. This battle deeply encouraged the people of the city, and they swore even more to defend the city without fear of death.

For seven months, the Jade Dragon Chijie was still standing in the Wuhu River, but the Mongolian army suffered heavy casualties. In a fit of rage, Suhai slashed and killed the vanguard generals, limiting him to break through the city gates. The next day, the Mongol army poured up the ladder like a tide, but Musuman temporarily left the command position due to personal matters at this critical moment, and the defense line of Yulong Chijie was broken again.

The soldiers and civilians in the city fought street battles with the Mongol people, and the women, children, old and weak, entered the battle and defended them one by one, and the Mongol army had to tear them down and burn them down every time they occupied. After holding out like this for more than a month, nearly 200,000 soldiers and civilians were killed, and Yulong Chijie finally fell completely. Except for more than a thousand young and beautiful women and children who were not as tall as the wheel, they were taken into slavery, and none of the rest were spared.

Before he left, he ordered the embankment of the Wuhu River to be dug and diverted water to irrigate the city, and even the survivors who hid to avoid being slaughtered drowned.

Since then, the second largest city, Yulong Jiechi, which once had nearly 300,000 inhabitants, was razed to the ground and completely wiped out.

Mussumman's head was cut off and Suhai poured melted gold and silver into his ears and eyes to satirize his love of money in revenge for being sacrificed after Gebula's death.
