When Jeruahai came, the Huihe had been conquered by Khorasan for many days. A large number of villages and towns were burned, and only a few cities were saved. But the population is no longer one-tenth of what it used to be, and it has become a ghost town.

Even in the most populous Hozhou, only about 10,000 people remained after the forced relocation of Khorasan. The outer city was almost completely vacant, and the inner city was inhabited only by a small number of Khorasan officials. As for the imperial city, it became Li Chengji's palace and was completely sealed.

Yelu Ahai made a detour from the old land of Naman, passing through the cities of Yangji Bali and Changbala, and there were huge groups of immigrants along the way. At intervals there were a string of human heads and Huihe people hanging up waiting to die.

It is said that these are all escaped and caught!

Stay here as a warning.

Because Jeruahai used to come and go back to the crane in the past, he knew what kind of people were prosperous here. So when I first saw the image of desolation, I was still a little uncomfortable. It wasn't until I watched too much that I slowly accepted the facts. He knew that Huihe was really gone!

Even if Mongolia keeps Huihe, it will not be able to return to the sky.

Because there are no more people, how can we talk about the country.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be a little surprised by Rosan's methods. unexpectedly used such a large-scale relocation action to achieve the goal of destroying the Huihe Guozuo.

arrived in Hezhou like this, but regretfully learned that Li Chengji took the main force of Khorasan to Hamilia. Jereahai rested for only one night, and then set out again eastward. When he arrived in Hamili, he learned that Li Chengji had led the army into the territory of the Xia Kingdom.

The news made Yelu Ahai stunned.

Because he could not have imagined that Khorasan's appetite was so great. The annexation of Huihe is not counted, but he still wants to get involved in the Xia Kingdom.

In the old years, Mongolia caused heavy losses to the Xia Kingdom, so this time Khorasan attacked the Xia Kingdom, like a wolf jumping into the breeding pen. The end can be imagined.

He didn't even care about resting, and was anxious to enter the territory of Xia to see Li Chengji.

However, Faraday, the defender of Hamili, prevented him from going east on the grounds that he needed to pass through. This was a bad thing for Jereahai, but Faraday was also stubborn. No matter how Jeruahai explained the threat, Faraday was unmoved.

With such a stalemate, Yelu Ahai could only stay in Hamili and wait for news.

Outside the city of Shazhou in the Xia Kingdom, Li Chengji is leading a few people such as Ba Rahei and Ainur to visit the famous Thousand Buddha Caves in Shazhou.

This is the later Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, from the pre-Qin period of the Sixteen Kingdoms began to build, through the Northern Dynasties, Sui, Tang, Five Dynasties, Western Xia and other dynasties, the Buddha-making movement has never stopped. Now there are hundreds of caves, tens of thousands of square meters of murals, and more than 2,000 clay sculptures.

Li Chengji is naturally not here to remember!

Because he wanted to know how to find the Buddha statue he had traveled through, so as to see if there was anything new to discover.

Fortunately, he has a good memory, and although five or six years have passed, he still knows which cave he went to. He didn't let them follow, and he went into the cave alone.

Because there was no large-scale looting by foreigners at the end of the Qing Dynasty in later generations, the murals and Buddha statues in the Thousand Buddha Caves are still well preserved. But Lee Seung-ji didn't find anything in the cave. The Buddha statue is still peaceful, and there is no difference.

It's just that the arm is broken somehow, and I don't see anything unusual.

This made Lee Seungji a little disappointed!

Although now that I have returned to the afterlife, my mind has slowly faded, but there is still a thought in my heart. Now this place is ordinary and ordinary, so he doesn't have the heart to look at it.

I returned to the city and was about to rush to the Khorasan military camp in Guazhou when it suddenly darkened. Then I saw the whirring wind blowing, and a black barrier slowly appeared in the west.

"Demon Wind! The demon wind is here again! Shazhou Thorn Shi Cao Yijie said with a pale face. He was a descended official of the Xia State, and when the news of the conquest of Guazhou came in Khorasan, he sent someone to send a tribute table to show his obedience.

This is not because he is soft-boned, but Shazhou is indeed unsafe.

In the old years, when the Mongols attacked the summer, the walls of Shagua and Erzhou were demolished by the Mongols. The garrison has also been mostly broken up, and it is not yet full. This made him not have the heart to fight the Khorasan army at all.

What's more, in recent times, there have been people fleeing from Huihe, so that Shazhou and other places have also learned the news of Khorasan's attack on Huihe. I heard that his soldiers and horses caused it, burned, killed and plundered, and the means were not as good as those of the Mongols.

They dare not have the mind to resist.

As soon as the news of the fall of Guazhou came, he surrendered with interest. In the end, Guazhou is the station of the Xiping Military Division. Now that the city is gone, the Xiping Military Division is only afraid that the whole army will be wiped out.

Li Chengji looked at it and knew that it was a sandstorm.

There are many deserts near Khorasan, so there are many sandstorms. On weekdays, the government teaches the people how to prevent sandstorms. He also sent people to explain the causes of sandstorms at crowded intersections and restaurants.

So when they encountered a sandstorm, the Khorasans did not panic.

The state is located next to the world's second largest mobile desert, the Takaramakan Desert. On a dry spring day and when the winds are strong, sandstorms are a matter of course.

Therefore, compared with Cao Yijie's panic, Khorasan reacted very indifferently.

And I saw the guards fetching water, closing the doors and closing the doors, and sealing the windows with wooden planks. Officials pulled out the masks they had brought with them and covered their noses and mouths. The mount is also moved indoors to prevent it from being blown away by the wind.

The people of Shazhou City had already gone out less because of the arrival of the Khorasan army, so when the black sandstorm came, there were not many people in the market. Without being reminded by the Khorasan soldiers, the people quickly hid in their rooms.

It didn't take long for it to get completely dark.

Rustle rustle······

The wind and sand continued to beat against the doors and windows.

Fortunately, the people of Shazhou also know that the wind and sand are strong, so the houses are similar to the Ayiwang houses of Huihe. The windows are low, and the roof is an earthy yellow sandstone attached to the walls. It is mixed with plant ash and rice milk, and it is very sticky. When it dries, it's all in one.

It's not as indestructible as concrete, but it's not much worse.

At the moment, it is enough to prevent wind and sand.

Cao Yijie also got a mask, and watched the guards splash water on the ground, a little unclear.

Soon, the sky slowly brightened again. But the wind and sand come and go quickly.

In the past, everyone would have opened the door and gone out!

But seeing that Li Chengji didn't speak, the other Khorasan officials were not in a hurry, so they could only accompany and wait. It wasn't until Cao Yijie felt uncomfortable holding back a soak of hot urine that the guards opened the wooden door at the signal of Li Chengji.

There was sand everywhere outside, and it was a mess. Some tents that had not had time to be put into the room were blown away by the wind and disappeared. The vines that covered the walls were also broken into several eons, and the leaves were blown away, leaving only the bare vines.

Cao Yijie was about to go out, but Grichen brought him a bowl of water and said, "Drink a bowl!" Otherwise, your throat will be very dry. ”。
