Chapter 540: The Outpost System

Early the next morning, outside the city of Hezhou. A troop of tribal soldiers and horses dressed in robes was leading the Khorasan soldiers in armor to the Khorasan camp at a rapid pace. These are the remnants of the Mi'er beggars, who have fled all the way west since they were driven out of Mobei by the Mongols.

It was not until the sparsely populated interior of the Kipchak steppe, the Turkai Plateau, that a few small tribes were finally annexed and temporarily gained a foothold. During this period, he also sent people to offer generous gifts to the Khan of the Knapchak Khanate as a sign of submission. But within a few years of such days, the Kipchaks became self-defeating.

First, Khorezm went north to deter the tribes. In response to the Khan's summoning order, they responded to Khorezm's harassment. However, the Kipchak tribes were all brave, and under the attack of the formed Khorezm army, the entire Kipchak alliance army was defeated.

They saw that the situation was not right in advance, and when the tribal alliance was defeated, they withdrew in time. Fortunately, the Kipchak steppe was very large, and they went north along the Ural River, across the Ural Mountains, and into the territory of the Sikpchak Union.

The weather there is colder, but it is also more deserted. After paying their respects to the local khan, as usual, they settled down on the banks of the Arar River.

Where did I think, in the blink of an eye, Khorezm was defeated. Many of the tribal soldiers and horses that were taken away by Khorezm led the more powerful Khorasan army into the Kipchak steppe. Along the way, all the troops came to vote, and if there were disrespectful people, they were all swept away by the army.

When entering the borders of the Sikpchak Alliance, the Khan also wanted to gather their tribes together to defeat the Khorasan army. The Mi'er beggars, who had already suffered defeat at the hands of Khorezm, knew that the tribal soldiers and horses who could only be brave were not at all the opponents of the formed army that had been trained to become formed armies.

Therefore, not only did they not follow the Khan king of Sikpchak, but they also submitted to the expeditionary Khorasan army at the first time. Then, together with the army of Khorasan, he began to conquer the tribes of the Sikpchak Alliance.

It was not until the spring that the lord of Khorasan issued an edict. The ten detainees of the Kipchak except for Budaq all had to go to Broken Leaf and follow him to the east. These are the ten main tribes of Kipchak, and the other small tribes that cannot be named are dependent on these large tribes.

Like them, they are attached to the Tar Khan.

Because the Mir beggars made a lot of contributions to the pacification of the Kipchak tribes in Khorasan, they were fortunate to stay in place and nomadic during this crusade. But the three Kudu brothers were unwilling to accept this gift!

Because they were driven out of the Mobei steppe by the Mongolian Ministry! With the Mongolian department, a blood feud has been formed. It's just that he felt that his own power was too weak before, so he had to survive in the land of Kipchak. Now that there is such a behemoth as Khorasan, their desire for revenge comes alive.

Of course, they also knew that Khorasan could not take revenge on the Mi'er beggars!

But as long as Khorasan has the intention of capturing Mobei, their opportunity will come. Moreover, with the temperament of the Mongols who continue to annex the tribes, they will never stay in the steppe in peace. Therefore, they took the initiative to express their willingness to follow the Khorasan lord to the eastward expedition to the commander of the Khorasan army, hoping to be answered.

Although the Mi'er Beggars are no longer the big tribe with tens of thousands of people in the Mobei grassland in the past! But they have a glorious past! When Ahura learned of their origins, he granted their request.

At the same time, he sent someone to report to Li Chengji, explaining the reason for his decision.

For such a clan, Li Chengji also feels that it is somewhat useful. At the same time as he ordered the people to return to Ahura, let the cathar posts along the road entertain them.

This is the military system that arose in Khorasan in Khorezm and the Kipchak steppe. It is also that these two places are vast and sparsely populated, and it is impossible to control every corner of the land. Posts were built along rivers and trade routes.

The exterior is somewhat similar to the artillery towers of the Japanese army in later generations, but the scope is larger. Each post was garrisoned with at least a thousand men, and the larger ones numbered two or three thousand. The source of soldiers were all surrendered soldiers and horses of the old Karakhanid State, Great Liao, Khorezm and Naiban countries or tribes. There are also some small local tribes and subjugations and tribal soldiers of Gur and Sindh in the steppe.

They were in the unfamiliar Kipchak steppe, and it was easier to obey the management of the Khorasan army. And herding sheep and horses, carrying out certain production activities.

After all, the nomadic way of life of the steppes determines that the management is different from that of many places in Khorasan. At present, the Kipchaks have just been pacified, and although they have taken away the big tribes, there are still countless small tribes scattered in various hills, mountains, rivers and lakes.

If there is no army left to garrison the local area, those small tribes will be 'no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys will be kings'.

It is precisely because of Khorasan's perfect outpost system that when the Mi'er beggars marched eastward, there was a supply of grain and grass along the way. And because Khorasan seized a lot in Kipchak, their tribe enjoyed a lot of blessings.

Canned mutton, canned beef, canned fruit, instant noodles, instant biscuits, soybean cakes, sesame cakes, milk powder, goat milk powder, walnut powder, almond flour, whole grain flour, cereal flour mixed with wheat, dates, milk, all kinds of rare food, all kinds of rare food, all told them to eat enough.

In the Khorasan army, this was a common supply. At first, everyone was happy to eat because of the new taste. But in the case of eating it every year, every month, and every day, it is not so rare. On the contrary, it was the local birds and beasts of the Kipchak steppe that made the soldiers eat and feast.

At present, the three Kudu brothers of the Mir Beggars are being led by Rabi Lasi to the tent of the Chinese military camp of the Protector Army. Originally, they thought that the camp of the lord of Khorasan should be large and gorgeous, but unexpectedly, the camp of the lord of Khorasan was surprisingly ordinary.

It's dusty, and although it's a dome, it doesn't look big. There is no obvious difference between it and ordinary camps. It's just that there are more soldiers stationed around the camp of the lord of the country, and the distance between the camps is greater.

Although there were some whispers in their hearts, they didn't dare to show half disdain on their faces. When they reached the tent, the soldiers in iron armor stopped them and searched for the iron weapons on them. Even a small knife for cutting meat is not allowed to be brought in.

Rabi Lasi was used to it, but it was the first time that the three Hudu brothers were touched like this, and they were a little resistant. The soldiers who searched them kept a cold face and did not let go of the slightest loophole.

Even their crotch was pinched a few times.

After such a search, they waited aside.

Because the military was being discussed inside, it was not convenient for them to enter. It took a long time for the curtain to be lifted from within. I saw a large number of Khorasan generals with short hair walking out of the inside, and when they saw Rabi Lasi waiting on the side, they all nodded in greeting.

As for the three brothers of Kudu, the generals didn't know each other, so they just ignored them.
