At the beginning of October, the Wei army had been sending troops to the Western Regions for more than 20 days, and the Wei cavalry swept through the remnants of the Wara and Montenegrin factions at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains like an autumn wind sweeping away the leaves.

Of the 100,000 Warat army, Baturhun only brought back 10,000 people, his son Gulos Babatur brought back more than 6,000 people, and some tribal leaders took some away, probably only more than 30,000 people fled back to Moxi in total.

In this battle, the Wei army killed one prince of Wara, killed more than 20 of its leaders, and killed nearly 70,000 captured Warats, which greatly boosted its prestige and shook the Western Regions.

Gao Yihuan ordered Abdullah to find a stonemason, erect a monument to Balchuk, and write down his exploits for future generations to admire.

At this time, the Warat people at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains had been completely swept away, and the Warat people had no possibility of threatening the Western Regions and Wei for a short time, and the Great Wei encirclement network was easily torn open by Gao Yihuan, making Dolgon and Zhu Cihong disabled.

At this time, tens of thousands of troops remained in the Western Regions, plus the captured prisoners and horses, the food consumption was amazing, Gao Yihuan asked Zhao Daxian to lead an army of 20,000 people, escorting the prisoners, driving the captured horses, and half of the cattle and sheep that the Wara people had not taken away, and returned with a full load.

After the Battle of Balchuk, Gao Yihuan asked people to go to Guanzhong to deliver letters, and the merchants who gathered in Yongliang immediately rushed the goods and grain out of Jiayuguan to advance to the Western Regions.

In order to support Gao Yihuan, Li Yan asked the caravan to bring a batch of grain, tea and salt in addition to carrying goods, and send them to Qiuzi, and use the grain to offset the customs taxes.

At this time, Gao Yihuan led 40,000 elite Wei troops to move to the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains and came to the ruins of the town of Qiuzi in Anxi in the Tang Dynasty to prepare for the alliance.

At this time, on the southern slope of the Tianshan Mountains, the Wei army's camps were all over the camp, and the Wei cavalry wearing black armor were galloping outside the camp, or riding horses in a neat formation, and conducting drills, so as to shock the eyes of all departments during the alliance.

In a peaceful situation, the best way to shake the surrounding area and suppress the small night is to parade the army.

Gao Yihuan, Wang Shicong and others, led by a Yarkand guide, came to a ruin.

At this time, everyone stood on a hillside, looking down at the ruins below, and could vaguely see the outline of a city.

"Look, my lord!" Suddenly, Li Dingguo, who was behind him, brushed away the sand on a stone tablet, and his voice was a little excited.

Gao Yihuan and Wang Shicong hurriedly walked over, and saw a stone stele, which was densely engraved with many Chinese characters, but it was eroded by the wind and sand, and many of them were no longer recognizable, only a few big characters in the middle were still faintly visible, and the book "Han Dingyuan Hou Banchao" was written.

Wang Shicong was also a little excited, and hurriedly asked someone to get a pen and paper, saying that he would copy it and go back to study.

Gao Yihuan said with emotion: "Under this land, there are many great achievements of ancestors! ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the foot of the Tianshan Mountain, and saw that the grass below was soaring, and the rivers were flowing from the Tianshan Mountains to the distance, so he immediately said to Wang Shicong: "The few predecessors that Mr. said, the lonely king has asked the secretary, and he has sighed very much after reading it. If the Great Wei wants to control the Western Regions, the key is that the garrison must be self-sufficient in food, King Gu decided to restore Luntai Tuntian, and the cabinet is ready to levy 200,000 people, set up a colonization guard, and reclaim the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains. ”

Wang Shicong opened his mouth and said, "Didn't the king say to Abdullah that there are only a few thousand soldiers and horses? ”

Gao Yihuan said in a deep voice: "This colonization group can be said to be the family members of the army. ”

Wang Shicong nodded, the tall king can always find a reason, he groaned slightly and stopped talking.

At this time, Gao Yihuan said to Li Dingguo again: "Abdullah's purge of the Montenegrin faction can come to an end." ”

The old Abdullah attributed his situation at this time to the betrayal of the Montenegrin faction.

At this time, in the territory of Yarkand, the Baishan faction was heavily damaged by the Warat and Montenegrin factions in the previous battle, and suffered heavy losses, and Abdullah only had more than 1,000 soldiers left, and its strength was actually far smaller than that of the Montenegrin faction that had grown stronger in the Warat invasion.

Originally, Abdullah was not able to reduce the Montenegrin faction, but with the support of the Wei army, Abdullah still carried out a bloodbath on the Montenegrin faction.

Only by cutting off the rebel forces within Yarkand can Abdullah's throne be secured, and only then can he have a chance to compete with the forces of Wei in the future, otherwise he will really become a puppet.

Gao Yihuan also didn't want the Montenegrin faction to be too strong, so he acquiesced to Abdullah's purge, and Yarkand was bleeding in just a few days.

The return group formed by the Baishan faction hated the Montenegrin faction and colluded with the Warat people, and they showed no mercy when they moved, and the leaders and backbones of the Montenegrin faction were dragged outside the city and beheaded directly, and the scene was extremely bloody.

Last night, a leader of the Montenegrin faction came with hundreds of people to beg Gao Yihuan for mercy, they saw very clearly that only Gao Yihuan could save their lives, and Gao Yihuan considered that the Montenegrin faction had suffered heavy losses, the upper echelons were either dead or fleeing, and the contradictions between the two factions could not be reconciled, so they decided to take action to stop this mutual vendetta between the same clan and end this human tragedy.

Li Dingguo clenched his fists when he heard this, "The minister knows!" ”

While speaking, Li Laiheng climbed up the hill, "Great King, Abdullah has sent someone to inform the Great Khan, the three Yuzi, as well as the Bukhara Khanate of Samarkand, the Khiva Khanate, and the Turkmen will send envoys. ”

Wang Shicong, who was on the side, remembered something and said busily: "The king, the minister has released more than a dozen captives from Huite, Heshuote, and Duerbert to go back, and the three departments are willing to exchange their dependents for a batch of captives with a reply. This time, these three departments will also send people to participate. ”

Gao Yihuan nodded, the tribes on the grassland, the most important thing is an adult male, a man in the prime of life, he can annex other tribes, get cattle and sheep, and if not, he will be annexed by other tribes.

These three followed Batur Hui on the expedition, and the bottom pants were all lost, and Batur Hui also suffered huge losses, in order to make up for the loss of the Jungar Department, he may not merge these three departments to restore the strength of the headquarters.

Therefore, these three tribes are desperate to redeem some of the warriors to protect their tribes.

Gao Yihuan smiled and bowed his head, "This is good! Let them all come! ”

After speaking, Gao Yihuan turned his head to look at the boulder that had been eroded by the wind and sand, and suddenly commanded with great interest: "Mr. Wang will write an article for the lonely king to record this meeting, and then go to find some stonemasons, choose a boulder, or a mountain wall seal carving, the lonely king will come to seal the wolf Juxu, Le Shi Yanran." ”

Thinking of the heroism of Huo Quzhi, Ban Chao and other predecessors, after breaking the Huns, sealing Yanran Mountain and recording the deeds of Le Shi, Gao Yihuan decided to follow suit, so as to have one more merit in the history books in the future.
