The territory of the Qocho Uighurs was very large, and it was believed that it had half of the area of the later Western Regions Province, but like the later Western Regions Province, the number of sparsely populated Ghochang Uighur cities was very limited, especially the key cities, which were only strong enough for both hands.

Yizhou, located in the Turpan Basin in the later generations, is the first important town guarding the eastern gateway of Gaochang. The location almost coincides with the later Hami City, and is located on the main road and crossroads of the east-west and north-south traffic in the Western Regions, which has a very important strategic position.

And the two cities of Yidu and Nazhi in the rear of Yizhou are the supplement of Yizhou.

If Gao Chang's army is extremely determined to resist here, even if his generation's combat power is limited, according to the harsh environment of Turpan's high temperature and lack of water, it will definitely be able to create a lot of trouble for Zhao Song's army of the Western Expedition.

But the question is, do they dare?

Yue Fei led 80,000 cavalry troops with hundreds of thousands of heavy people, mighty and rolling, without covering up any traces. The team was far from arriving in Yizhou, and before it entered the Hexi Corridor, the Gao Changjun in Yizhou had already heard the news.

Then a question was put in front of Lu Sheng, the governor of Illinois—whether to resist or submit?

As a person who was newly transferred to Yizhou by Bileco, Lu Sheng is also a person who has believed in Bileco, and he is also a person who understands Bileco's thoughts. But that's why he's so anxious.

Because he didn't want to lose the power in his hands, Brother Bile still hasn't made up his mind to resist Zhao Song by force!

Isn't it a joke to leave the decision to a mere Lu Sheng? How dare Lu Sheng make such a decision?

He could only send an urgent letter to Gaochang City, waiting for Bilgo's reply. But now that the Song army has entered Guazhou, Bilgo's reply is still nowhere to be seen, and Lu Sheng is anxious like an ant on a hot pot.

The army of the Song people is approaching step by step, but Zhanhe has not yet been able to set a charter, which is really a big joke.

"Father, don't worry, I'll know what to do."

The frightened look on Gu Lulu's face has not completely disappeared, but in the face of Lu Sheng's trust, he still takes it. Behind him, Ah Si and Huttler are also like this.

They are either Lu Sheng's nephews or Lu Sheng's henchmen and slaves, and they can be said to be Lu Sheng's most trusted people.

And what they have to do next can only be done by these people, so that Lu Sheng can feel at ease.

"Whether it succeeds or not, it is limited to ten days, and you must not stay longer."

Lu Sheng decided to wait for another ten days, and then drag on for another ten days, although Guazhou is still some distance from Yizhou, but the Song army has many cavalry, and the vanguard must be the cavalry of the brigade, how can the speed be slowed down?

He sent people out to harass along the way disguised as horse bandits, occasionally destroying several water sources, and supporting it for ten days to reach the cordon.

After all, the horse bandits will not and dare not fight against the large army of the Song people, do they have to do everything.

Moreover, he has extremely limited reliable manpower.

Ten days later, Bilge did not return with a single message, so don't blame him for opening the gates of the city and gladly welcoming the heavenly soldiers.

……

Three days later, at noon, the sun was poisoning, after all, it was the middle of May, and it was the height of summer. There was not a single cloud in the blue sky, and the sun was scorching the earth, and the sun was so hot that sweat beads rolled down.

Ah Si and Dorus led two or three hundred Gaochang cavalry who turned into horse bandits, and wandered around the desolate Gobi. It's been three days since they came out, and I'm afraid they're going to meet the Song people's tancai soon, and the two of them are nervous, and they are not in a hurry to urge their subordinates, but they are not in a hurry to wander.

Because the sun is so poisonous, these people are a little tired and look listless.

"Cheer me up!" Dorus had a fiery temper, and when he saw this, he immediately became angry and shouted, "Look what you have become? One by one, they are like defeated hens! Lift your head up! A bunch of cowards! ”

The soldier was scolded, but only the people around Dollus cheered up and became more and more careful, while the others did not cheer up at all.

The sun was blazing, and they didn't have the energy to cheer up.

Unlike Dorus's fiery temper, Az has a relatively peaceful personality, which is one of the reasons why they are a couple.

If this is the case, Ah Si will definitely come forward and persuade Doros to do a thing or two. But in the past few days, Ah Si has also seemed restless, riding a horse, and at this time he also looks preoccupied.

Glancing at him, seeing this, Doros held his breath more and more.

Along the way, the horsewhip in his hand whipped several people in a row. The soldiers were whipped and screamed.

"Just stop!" The pie was upset when she saw it. I really don't know if his cousin's skull is empty, Lu Sheng does this, and the biggest legacy is the future. After all, there are so many people, there are three or two hundred in their team alone, the whole family is one, and there are more than a thousand people, who dares to say that it will be kept secret forever? And once the news leaked and the Song people knew, they had no good fruit to eat.

Ah Si was never annoyed by how to add some trouble to the vanguard of the Song people along the way.

From Guazhou to Yizhou, the distance is seven or eight hundred miles, and most of them are desolate next door. Water is critical along the way!

If Lu Sheng really plans to reject the enemy outside of Yizhou, then the best way is to abandon the water source along the road from Guazhou to Yizhou, no need to poison, only need to throw a few cattle and sheep carcasses into the water, and it will be abandoned in three or two days.

But now Lu Sheng's chosen method is to ask a few of his nephews to lead a group of his most loyal soldiers and horses, pretend to be horse bandits, and harass them along the way, just to delay the footsteps of the Song army's forward for a few days.

Ah Si sighed in his heart, thinking that his father sprayed both ends of the king's head rat, but why didn't he himself waver?

Dorus stupidly withdrew his horsewhip and walked side by side with Ah Si, his face still unconcealed depressed.

The team ran forward for another half hour, and there was a small pool of water in front of it, which was the only source of water within a radius of forty or fifty miles.

Everyone's spirits were also uplifted.

At this time, when I saw the water, it was really closer than seeing my father and mother!

But at this moment, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from a distance and reached the ears of the two.

What's going on? At this time, which team will pass by?

Both Dorus and Ah Si's faces immediately showed a trace of doubt and vigilance.

"Send a few people over and have a look!" Ah Si groaned, and immediately ordered someone to go down to investigate the situation.

The news soon came back, "Song people?!" "Ah Si and Doros choked. Then his face changed greatly, and he immediately ordered: "Withdraw, withdraw quickly." ”

Even if they want to make trouble with the vanguard of the Song Army, they can't fight it head-on.

But soon the two of them were ashamed to restrain their horses, because there were only twenty or thirty horsemen in Song Qi, who was chasing after them.

However, the Song army was also bold, and only thirty or twenty rangers dared to rush straight to kill two or three hundred 'horse bandits', but in an instant, they had already rushed in front of Ah Si and Duolus!

"Kill, kill with me—" Dollus shouted angrily, intending to lead the charge.

But Xie Yuan had already seen Doros in the team, and immediately shouted, rode his horse and galloped forward, holding a bow in his hand, and shot an arrow.

Dorus Wu also raised his saber and shouted, suddenly saw a little cold star flying in, and hurriedly used his weapon to block it, how could he have time?

There was a pain in the façade, and he screamed, and he turned over and planted his horse!

When Ah Si saw it, he opened his mouth and stammered. Dorus is one of the few fierce generals in their family.

Xie Yuan then shot a series of arrows, and then came to take his vital point. In a hurry, Ah Si was unsteady again, and he didn't react in time, and his eyes immediately widened......

As soon as the two leaders saw each other, one was killed and one was injured, and the horse bandits immediately stirred up, and several guards ran away with the injured Ah Si, and the rest did the same, beating their horses and galloping one by one!
