On the day of the spring flowers, Zhi Yanchong and Xiao Tienu met on the north bank of the Tuwu River, Zhi Yanchong saw Xiao Tienu's appearance, quite sad, and said: "Sixth brother, for the sake of Mobei, you are so tired." ”

Xiao Tienu laughed and said: "But if you want to be ambitious, this little thing is nothing!" ”

The Han army followed the feng shui division of the army to choose a good site to build the city, called "Dragon City". Zheyan Chong set up a golden tent in the city, and was revered as the heavenly khan by the Mobei tribes. Zheyanchong officially canonized Zonan Zapu as a living Buddha, and Liesi Bada as a protector of the Dharma, and accepted the worship of the Mobei tribes. All the meritorious tribes in Mobei are rewarded, each guarding the border, and in case of disagreement, the living Buddha will mediate according to law. Zhi Yanchong promised that the Han court would set up a warehouse in Longcheng to prepare for the waste, so that the Mobei tribes could use it to survive the cold winter when they encountered a famine year. The two trade routes from Gyeonggi and Northeast China to Yongcheng are the sacred roads that transport grain and grass from the Central Plains to Mobei, and all ethnic groups have the responsibility to maintain the safety of this trade route. All ethnic groups in the grassland were enthusiastic and rejoicing when they heard the news.

The tribes of Obstruction and Enemy Lie gradually advanced northward, and Hebule was unwilling to be recruited, but under the persecution of the Han tribes, he could not continue to gain a foothold in the Nanhe River, so he had to swim to the northwest, and went in the direction of Europe from the north road, and entered the Volga River valley a few years later.

In the middle of this year, the weather became hotter, and Zhiyan Chong returned to the south, and Zonan Zap and the tribal chiefs stayed for another month. At the end of summer, Yang Yingqi's recital about the three families of Jin Xia had actually happened for a long time, but Yang Yingqi did not allow the news to spread north until he heard that the overall situation of the three families of Jin Xia had been decided.

Zhi Yan rushed to read the recital table and said angrily: "Zong Han Zongbi is just that, Qianshun is so bold!" Then he had to bring in his troops to help him.

After Xiao Tienu looked at the recital, he persuaded: "Big brother, look at what the old seven recitals say, this incident is not just recently. Lao Qi has suppressed the news for so long, most of which is that his side can resist it. In this case, we might as well not return to Gyeonggi, just wait for the autumn wind to rise, the day when the grass grows and the horses are fat, and lead ten thousand horses to Yinshan to take Zhongxing Mansion and Datong Mansion directly, and then meet with the Central Plains armies in Chang'an and Taiyuan. What do you think? ”

Zhi Yan Chong smiled: "That's what I mean!" "Just as I was about to dispatch troops, there was an urgent report from the west, but it was news of a disease.

After the Uighurs stabilized their position, they sent caravans and scouts to the east to inquire about the news, but due to bad weather and difficult roads, they were not able to cross the eastern mountains of Yizhou until the snow and ice melted. The scouts and caravans sent by the disease were very cautious at first, worried about being attacked by Yelu Tiege and the Mobei tribes, and only after encountering Dadan did they know that Zhe Yanchong had been advancing north for a long time, Yelu Tiege had died, and the Golden Horde of Longcheng had been established, so he quickly whipped up and went straight to Longcheng.

Zhi Yanchong and Xiao Tienu were overjoyed when they heard the news, they didn't expect that not only did they not die, but they could also establish such a miraculous feat! Xiao Tienu said to Zheyan: "Big brother, since Brother Yelu Tie died, I know that as long as we don't have internal strife, even if Yelu Dashi leads troops to the east, we won't be afraid." Now that the Uighurs have been annexed again, it is difficult for Yelu Dashi to gain a foothold, let alone the eastern invasion. Ke quickly sent his order to get sick, informed him of the situation on our side, and asked him to pacify the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, just wait for us to calm down the Western Xia, and then we can use Huma as the striker and continue to expand westward! ”

Orihiko Chong smiled: "Reasonable! He issued an order acknowledging the promises made in the Uighurs to eliminate the disease, and to allow the Uighurs to do so cheaply.

At the same time as the envoys to the Uighurs set out, Xiao Tienu also began to select the generals and tribes of the southern expedition, and obtained a total of 300,000 Hu and Han soldiers and horses, preparing to march to Yinshan in six routes. Among the Han generals, Xiao Jun stayed in the city of Kedun, the Mughul stayed in the ancient Uighur city, Puluhu stayed in the dragon city, and the Hu tribe in the middle of the Tuopu Jia stayed in the valley of the Yuqu River, and the Obstruction Department continued to surrender and expel the Mongols in the north, and the Mobei tribes that still did not submit to the Han court.

Zhi Yanchong agreed with the clans that in the future, he would go to Dragon City once in three or five years to assemble the clans. The chiefs of all the tribes also promised to make a pilgrimage to Beijing once every three years, and sent their children to study in Taixue.

While Zhi Yanchong and Xiao Tienu were preparing, the two letters had already arrived in Yizhou and Tanggu respectively. Among them, the envoy to the Uighurs, in addition to the edict signed by Orihiko Chong and the secret edict to plant the disease, also brought the head of Yelu Tiege and asked the Uighur king to hand over the stone to Yelu Dashi.

After the Uighur king Bilgo got Yelu Tiege's head and tokens, he believed that Zheyanchong had indeed pacified the entire Mobei, and he was so frightened that he ran to Yizhou overnight to ask for gifts for the disease.

He smiled and said to Bilge: "I heard that the prince of the lord of the country is still by Yelu Dashi's side, and the lord of the country came to see me like this, aren't you afraid that Yelu Dashi will be strange?" ”

Brother Bile hurriedly said: "Xiao Wang just received the news that Yelu Dashi is not in a good position in the west. Now that the north of the Han Dynasty belongs to the Han Dynasty, and the little king is under the shadow of His Majesty the Han Dynasty, it is like relying on the Tianshan Mountains and thousands of miles of Kunlun, why should you be afraid of Yelu Dashi's lost dogs and lambs to be slaughtered? ”

He laughed, and Brother Bile asked him if he wanted to continue his expedition to the west, and said, "I want to return to the east to meet Your Majesty first, and then come back to pacify the Western Regions." Grain and grass ......"

Brother Bile hurriedly said: "The general doesn't have to worry about the grain and grass, he has his own little king Zhang Luo!" ”

After Bilge left, the Uighur Prime Minister Babel heard that he was going to return to the east and hurriedly came to see him, and persuaded: "Now that the Han Dynasty is in shock, and Biler is terrified, the general should take the opportunity to turn against the guest and take over the authority of the northern and southern states of the Tianshan Mountains. The general is afraid that when he returns, the Uighurs will be in a different situation! ”

He smiled and said, "The so-called return to the east is what I said to Brother Biler." ”

Babel was pleasantly surprised: "Then the general has another plan?" ”

"It's not a trick." "It's just that the direction of returning to the east is a little different." When the grain and grass are ready, I will not go back from the way I came, but will go through the Yumen Pass. In the past six months, Toshu has explored the road for me. ”

Babel was stunned, and then said in shock: "Does the general want to ...... Seeking Western Xia? ”

He said with a smile: "It's not to seek Western Xia, it's to recover Ganlong." This matter is not allowed to be leaked for half a point, otherwise the person who says it and the person who listens to it will be dealt with by military law! ”

Babel hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

"After I set out on the expedition, you can watch the Uighurs. Now that I am a big man like Japan, with our support, I forgive Brother Biler and dare not act rashly. Ganlong is not connected, and the Uighurs are worshipping Yuansui after all; Ganlong is passed, and this side can really be attached. In addition, I will leave five thousand soldiers and horses in Yizhou, and the garrison generals will listen to your moderation. ”

Babel was overjoyed, thought about it for a while, and said, "Since the general is an eastward crusade, it is better for me to arrange for another 20,000 Uighurs to accompany the army as a help." ”

He said happily: "If there is, it would be better!" However, before the soldiers and horses set off, they were not allowed to reveal their destinations. ”

"Nature, nature." Babel said: "When I was ready, I said that I was escorting the general out of the country. When the time came, the general sent another order to requisition this army, and Bileco did not dare to object. ”

At the same time as the disease and Babel were preparing for the Eastern Crusade, Tanggu also made moves. However, unlike the reactions of Mobei and the Uighurs, Yang Yingqi only sent a few secret letters, informing Yang Kaiyuan, Cao Guangbi, Liu Qi, Qu Duan, and other generals of the Mobei affair respectively, asking them to adapt to the situation. At this time, Tanggu no longer had any extra troops to increase, and even the supply of money and food had reached its limit.

But for this war, Zhe Yunwu and Yang Yingqi are full of confidence! They know that with the annexation of large territories in Mobei, the country's economy and government finances will rebound from the bottom; They also knew that the main forces of Zong Han and Qianshun had been dragged to the border of the Han Dynasty, and that the troops of Brother Wei had even penetrated deep into the vicinity of Weishui—which had been a worrying message before, but now it had become an exciting dawn! Not to mention the generals of a hundred battles like Yang Kaiyuan and Liu Qi, even if they are as young as Zhe Yunwu, they also know that Qianshun and Zong Han are going to be very bad!

"Things went better than expected." Although Yang Yingqi has been showing himself leisurely for more than half a year, in fact, all the nerves in his body are tense even when he sleeps, and it was only at this time that he breathed a long sigh of relief.

However, after he breathed a sigh of relief, his brows tightened unconsciously, and at this moment when the dawn was about to come, there was an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart.
