Seeing Sun Mao looking at him with a smile on his face, General Bofan immediately panicked, he didn't want a decent death.

"General Bofan, don't panic, the empire is merciful. Commander, let me ask you: Would you like to lead your troops to take Hami? If you don't want to, then give it to you~"

Sun Mao's words were not finished, and Bofan immediately spoke: "The last general is willing, not to mention Hami, Turpan Royal City and even Yili City of Yarkand Department can be." ”

Bofan immediately showed his loyalty, having seen the strength and ambition of the Han army, he already planned to mix with the empire for the rest of his life.

The unswerving of the broadcast made Sun Mao very satisfied, but King Dongxian's eyes were blazing.

Any Ili will do! This sowing is to copy the hometown of the Yarkand Khanate! He used to trust: this person who is even more hateful than the Han army.

King Dongxian was furious and didn't dare to speak, but his eyes were like machine guns.

Seeing that King Dongxian was still self-YY, Sun Mao sneered and said, "King Dongxian, have you thought about it?" If you want to die, rest assured that General Ben will prepare a good coffin for you. ”

Bofan even stood up, bowed affectionately and said: "Please Commander: Permission to bury King Dongxian back to his hometown in the desert!" In the future, I will swear to follow the empire to the death, and it will remain unchanged for eternity. ”

Sun Mao couldn't help but admire: "Good! General Banban is a real man! There are not many people who are so affectionate and righteous! ”

Bofan sighed: "Hey! The king of the east has the grace of knowing the last general! But he's encroaching on the territory of the Empire! The last general can only be an incense on the New Year's sacrifice! ”

If it weren't for himself, King Dongxian would also want to praise the love of Bofan. But he obviously didn't die, and this bastard wanted to sacrifice himself.

Ignoring the invasion of King Dongxian, Sun Mao looked at Chen Nan: "Commander, General Banfan is willing to lead troops to recover Turpan, and he asks for a thick burial of King Dongxian." ”

"Good! This broadcast is also affectionate! This Sulitão is also a king, and it is okay to have a thick burial. ”

Sun Mao nodded and turned around and said with a smile: "General Bofan, the commander has agreed to bury Su Litang, you can rest assured!" ”

Bofan was moved, the empire is also affectionate and righteous, and he hurriedly bowed again: "Thank you for the empire, Commander Xie." ”

Thick burial of Suritang? But he doesn't need to be thick or not, thinking that he will be buried in the desert soon, King Dongxian is afraid, what Yarkand Department, what Great Khan, what Turpan Kingdom will go to hell.

"Nope! Commander, Su Litang is willing to return the territory of Turpan, and the Western Regions of the old land of Yarkand were already Han land during the Han Dynasty. Please ask the commander to let the last general be the vanguard, at least the east of Turpan can be recovered immediately. ”

Chen Nan didn't know what this carving feather was talking about, but that surrendering attitude made him very comfortable. There are no Han Chinese in Xizhou, and it needs to be ruled and managed by locals in the short term.

Sun Mao was secretly happy, this Su Litang finally came to his senses.

"Commander, Su Litang is willing to return the Han land, and King Dongxian also knows: during the Western Han Dynasty, the Western Regions were governed by the Central Plains."

I see! Good! Chen Nan smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, if Turpan is successfully recovered, Su Litang will be appointed as the first civil governor of Xizhou, and Bofan will be appointed as the chief soldier of the Western Guard, commanding 20,000 cavalry and 30,000 soldiers." ”

Civil Governor~ Now Sun Mao is also relieved, this governor has no military power. As for the 50,000 troops of Bofan, it stands to reason that they are also under the control of the Admiral.

"Congratulations to General Su Litang, after the recovery of Turpan, the general will be the first civil governor of Xizhou, the Western Governor's Mansion."

Civil administration! Suritang was a little disappointed, but it was enough to be alive. "Commander Xie, the last general must be the empire's Anzhi Xizhou."

After Commander Chen returned the salute to Su Litang, Sun Mao also said again: "Congratulations to General Bofan, the commander will appoint you as the commander-in-chief of the Western Guard, commanding 20,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry. ”

Bo Fanle is broken, this time he bet right. "Admiral Sun's words are serious, and the last general will obey the order."

Finally, after greeting the broadcaster, Chen Nan smiled and said: "Serving wine and food, there is no limit to wine and meat today." ”

"Haha, Commander Xie!" Luo Hu is happy, he, the drunkard, can finally be appetizing.

Two days later, the 190,000-strong army continued westward. With Su Litang and General Banfan taking the lead, they did not encounter any resistance until outside the city of Turpan.

When he came to Turpan Stone City, there were only 140,000 left of the 190,000 army.

10,000 Xiliang cavalry and 10,000 Liangzhou guards plus 30,000 infantry from Bofan, a total of 50,000 horses were also stationed in various parts of Xizhou.

Outside the city of Turpan, Chen Nan ordered the construction of fortifications. Along the march, the tired Han army needed to rest and also need time to adapt to the windy and sandy climate of the plateau basin.

The rebellion of his brother King Suli Tang Dongxian caught King Yarkand Khan Abdullah off guard! The entire Turpan Kingdom began to panic, and soldiers and horses from all over the country began to return to the royal city.

The state of Turpan needed time to assemble a large army for a decisive battle, and the Han army also needed time to rest and adapt to the climate. At this point, the Turpan war also entered a period of stalemate.

Pingliang Province.

"Hey!" Qiao Ting was very happy that the Hexi Corridor had been recovered, but even most of the vast desert basin in Turpan had been recovered, which made him start to have a headache!

Under the rule of the Western Governor's Office: Guanzhong, Xiliang, Western Xia, Qinghai, and Xizhou, this vast territory is comparable to the entire southern part of the empire. However, the vast and sparsely populated terrain of the Gobi Desert makes people unable to rejoice.

……

Shengjing Shenyang.

After the Han army stopped at Shanhaiguan, the Manchu Qing also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ladies and gentlemen! The main force of the Han army marched westward, and Liaodong was settled in at least a year or two. "The Northwest and Western Regions are vast and different, and Dai Shan believes that the Han army will be entangled in the Northwest for a long time.

"Good! That's great! "The princes and princes have also waited for the good news.

Ah Zige also nodded and said: "Give us two years in the Qing Dynasty, which is enough to train 100,000 firearms troops." Then relying on the dangerous passes on the front line of Shanhaiguan, it was not so easy for the Han army to go north. ”

During this time, there were many fugitives and deserters in Liaodong, and the panicked Manchu Qing Dynasty has just stabilized.

……

Xining, Qinghai.

All the way over the mountains and mountains to build bridges, the tired West Route Army finally arrived in Xiningwei.

"Hey! It's finally here! "Lin Jiading regrets it! You must know that choosing to garrison Guanzhong allows the Sixth Army to advance westward!

Li Dingguo also breathed a sigh of relief: "Traveling thousands of miles, but you can only kill more than 10,000 enemies!" This plateau is truly desolate! ”

"Now it's good! There are at least sixty or seventy thousand troops in Xiding, and the army of the king of the plateau must also be gathered. Lin Jiading, who was a little angry, had red eyes glowing, and he must kill him well in two days.

The 120,000 Han army is now only 110,000, and many soldiers who can't adapt to it are still recuperating in the rear.

Xining originally had only 30,000 Qiang soldiers, but the Han army marched westward, and most of the herdsmen from all over the country fled to Xining.

Therefore, there are 300,000 herdsmen near Xining, and there are as many as 70,000 Qiang soldiers. An army of 70,000, including 50,000 cavalry, even the infantry has cattle to ride.

The commander of the Dashi city wall was also pondering, he didn't know whether to take advantage of the exhaustion of the Han army and send troops to defeat the Han army now, or to take it safe to defend the stone pass.

"The handsome Han army is encamped, they are only 20,000 cavalry, and now is the right time to attack." General Mangshorn said coldly, this damn Han man dared to come back.

At that time, there were also 20,000 Han people in Xiningwei, but as the main force of the Ming army retreated, these Han people also slowly slipped away.

After that, the plateau people took advantage of the civil war in the Ming Dynasty to send troops to swallow up Xining and other vast Qinghai areas. Fortunately, the hatred of the Han and Qiang that began in the pre-Qin period has been consumed by history, although they do not like the Han people, but the Qiang people no longer kill too much.

Perhaps it was because of thousands of years of killing each other that the Qiang people understood that they would not be able to defeat the Han people after all. At the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty, the relationship between Han and Qiang also began to ease. Especially after being ruled by the Mongols for more than 100 years, the Qiang people are even more powerless!
