War is the most important way to grow, and for most of the past six months, the city of Khotan has been in fierce fighting. The Uighurs and Tibetans, together with nearly 200,000 men, and small groups of cavalry sent by the Black Khanate, continued to harass.

In the past, it may have been enough to make Khotan submit, but this time Khotan was not afraid, including the two little princesses, who were skilled in using muskets and learned to bandage simply.

Together with the women of the city, he rescued wounded warriors from the walls of the city in battle, and on one occasion even took part in the battle, killing two Uighurs with muskets.

The little princess who killed the enemy and made meritorious contributions did not get any reward, and was grounded by her father Li Congde, and they were not allowed to come out for ten days.

When Brother Guo Xing heard the news, he took the time to make two more muskets and stuffed them into the two little princesses.

"That musket should be a love object, junior brother, you have a very promising future!" Zhao Er laughed unscrupulously.

Brother Guo Xing glared at him, during the time of guarding the city, Zhao Er was like a ghost, sometimes he couldn't see him for a long time, and sometimes, he was wandering around every day, without Ye Hua watching, this kid was completely free.

"Correct you, even if it is a master and apprentice, I will apprentice earlier than you, so you should call me senior brother!" Brother Guo Xing paused word by word, "Your current situation, you can be judged as a deserter, and when the master comes, he will cut you with a click!" ”

Brother Guo Xing said, and scratched his neck.

Zhao Er almost wanted to laugh, "Senior brother, your level of telling cold jokes is really high now, and you are about to be amused...... What am I busy with these days, do you still know? Let me tell you, the senior brother has already planted his eyeliner in the Black Khanate, and there is even a caravan on the way to Baghdad! ”

Brother Guo Xingge was quite surprised, Baghdad, isn't that the hinterland of the Great Food Empire?

Senior brother's ability is so good?

Where did he care about the question of arguing with Zhao Er, so he hurriedly pulled him and hurriedly said, "Let's not talk about it so far, why did the Uighurs suddenly withdraw their troops, do you know this?" ”

Zhao Er laughed, "Of course I know, look at this!" ”

Saying that, Zhao Er took out an official document as if he was playing a trick, Guo Xingge quickly browsed it, and then he was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth!

"My God, Your Majesty actually accepted the fate of a female general!" Brother Guo Xing was really scared.

Zhao Er agreed, "I was also shocked, but this move is so clever that the Uighurs were defeated by this move!" ”

"What's the matter, isn't that General Murong very capable of fighting?"

"Definitely!"

Zhao Er waved his hand and said, "You say, in the Western Regions, are there more men or women?" ”

"This ...... Needless to say? Years of fighting, how many young people have died, of course, there are more women! ”

"Which tribe, is it the men or the women who are important?"

"It is important for men to be in charge of conquest, both to plunder and to keep the tribe safe." Guo Xingge said: "But women have to have children, herd livestock, prepare food, and maintain the stability of the tribe...... Again, it cannot be underestimated. ”

Zhao Er stretched out his thumb, "Okay, the growth of knowledge is quite fast!" Then I ask you, what will happen to the women who guard the tribe when the Uighurs attack Khotan? ”

Brother Guo Xing scratched his head, "I'll be worried, I'll be afraid!" If they are defeated, they are not left with nothing! ”

"Clever!"

Zhao Er said happily: "At this time, someone told them to take refuge in Da Zhou, give them land, pasture, and protection, so that they can live with dignity and live well!" Do you think the Uighur women would be stupid enough to wait for their husbands to return? ”

"Of course...... No! "Although Guo Xingge felt that husband and wife could not be so ruthless, but in the land of the Western Regions, this is the case, and those women were also snatched by the Uighurs from other tribes, strictly speaking, they are only the property of the tribe, not the owners of the tribe!

Instead of waiting for her husband to come back and continue to live a hopeless life, it is better to take refuge in Da Zhou, get the land, and the household registration that symbolizes Da Zhou's identity!

The most important thing is to be able to grasp it in your hands.

This is not a difficult multiple-choice question.

Yang Ye and Shi Shouxin led their men and horses to go deep into the Uighur tribes, and after solving the problem of the remaining young and strong, they immediately promulgated the new policy of the Great Zhou, and those women and female soldiers who surrendered in advance ran to do their work, and without a day or two of effort, the women packed up all their belongings, supported the old and the young, drove the cattle, sheep and livestock, and ran to Shazhou.

As the fourth largest force in the Western Regions, the Western Uighurs are collapsing at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.

"What a trick! Brother's hand is amazing! ”

Brother Guo Xing danced excitedly, "You say, even if the Uighurs kill back, will they find that their daughter-in-law has become someone else's wife, how green her face should be!" ”

"It's the green head." Zhao Erdao: "In my opinion, the Uighurs are more than lucky, and they will also fall into the net when they go back. On the Black Khanate's side, the situation is a bit bad! ”

"What do you mean?"

"I just got the news that the Black Khanate has reconciled with the Samanid Empire, and the Samanid Empire has dispatched 200,000 horses to support the Black Khan!"

Brother Guo Xing is confused, isn't it the Great Food Empire, why did a Samanid Empire emerge again?

It turned out that the Great Food Empire once spanned three continents, and its strength was very strong, and it fought with the Tang Dynasty in Talas, showing extraordinary national strength.

But the Great Food Empire soon declined, and the original conquered places revolted one after another, and the unified Great Food Empire existed in name only, and the part next to the Black Khanate was the east of the Great Food Empire, which was controlled by the Samanid Dynasty, and to the west of the Samanid Dynasty was the Bowehi Dynasty, which currently occupied Baghdad.

Further west, there are many forces entrenched in Egypt and Spain, all in all, a mess.

Don't look at the chaos of the Great Food Empire, there are many careerists in it.

It turned out that the Samanid dynasty was trying to attack the Black Khanate and wanted to annex it.

But since the two elders were killed, they have changed their minds, and they want to seize the Western Regions in the name of helping the Black Khan, which is the eastern province in the mind of the Great Food Empire.

As long as the Western Regions are taken, the Samanid Dynasty will have the qualifications to command the entire Great Food Empire.

To put it bluntly, it's a bit of a king's taste.

The reconciliation between the Samanid Empire and the Black Khanate allowed them to draw more than 300,000 troops. Coupled with the cobbling together of people from other places, the number is even more terrifying!

"The Uighurs have retreated with 150,000 horses, and Khotan will soon have an army of 500,000! Junior brother, the pressure is not small! Zhao Er patted Guo Xingge's shoulder meaningfully.

Guo Xingge's expression also became solemn, they don't have the capital to be optimistic, and a bigger test is coming...... The Samanid and Black Khanate were allied, and their next target was the Uighurs!

"Your Majesty the King Khan, humble servant brings greetings from the Lion King, and he wishes that our friendship will be as white and eternal as the snow of the Tien Shan Mountains."

The envoys of the Black Khanate, who threw themselves on the ground, prostrate themselves before the throne of the Uighur Great Khan.

The Uighur Khan stared at him, his face cold, and suddenly he stood up in anger.

"Shameless! Villain! Vile! Rubbish! ”

He rebuked loudly, "We have agreed to attack Khotan together, and Ben Khan has sent 150,000 horses to besiege it for several months, and we have not seen your reinforcements for a long time!" Treacherous man, what face do you have to come back to Ben Khan? ”

The messenger of the Black Khan lay on the ground, more humble.

"Your Majesty the Great Khan, the Lion King is discussing with the Samanid King about sending troops together, we have prepared 300,000 horses, and the huge army can conquer not only Khotan, but also the distant Central Plains, as long as we continue to cooperate, we can divide the world equally, and enjoy it together, endless wealth......"

He was still talking, but the Uighur Khan didn't bother to listen.

"Ignorance! You don't know how huge the Central Plains is, and you don't know how many people there are in the Great Zhou! The Uighur Khan said sharply: "My predecessors once swore allegiance to the Tang Dynasty, and the territory of the Tang Dynasty was vast, and there were countless fierce generals...... With you, you can't even take the Western Regions, and you dare to boast of capturing the Central Plains, it's a pipe dream! ”

The envoy of the Black Khan was unmoved, "Great Your Majesty, the Tang Empire was once defeated in Talas, they have nothing remarkable, the victory must belong to our great alliance!" ”

"No!"

The Uighur Khan roared, "I don't want to listen to vague promises, I won't send another soldier for you, don't even think about it!" ”

The Uighur Khan was so resolute that he had already lost a third of his men, and if he lost another 150,000 elite soldiers, he would be completely doomed, and no one would be able to save him!

"Your Majesty, we can provide 300,000 taels of gold, as well as 50,000 war horses!"

The envoys of the Black Khanate finally showed tangible benefits, and the Uighur Khan's brows furrowed, as if he was tempted.

But at this moment, someone suddenly ran in, "Qi Qi Great Khan, Zhou soldiers are here!" ”

"What? How did they go so fast? ”

The Uighur Khan was shocked, his men had not yet withdrawn, and the Zhou soldiers had already arrived, what could be done?

He didn't care about the messenger of the black Khan, and personally led the men and horses, climbed the head of Gaochang City, and looked into the distance, from the yellow sand, a huge group of men and horses, overwhelming.

The commander of this team is the Great Zhou champion Hou Yehua!

Riding on the back of a sweaty horse, Ye Hua was calm, next to him, Yang Ye and Li Guangrui, two generals accompanied, and further back, were the elite soldiers of the party and the Great Zhou.

Ye Hua called a soldier who was proficient in the Uighur language and asked him to bring a letter of his own to the Uighur Khan.

"You go and tell him, surrender now, King Gaochang is his, if you don't surrender, I will capture the city immediately!"

Ye Hua never said big things, he dodged to the side, and from the team, dragged by sturdy animals, one artillery gun after another, shot into a neat queue.

A full hundred artillery pieces were aimed at Gaochang City.

Ye Hua waited silently, and almost an hour later, the head of Gaochang City picked up a bloody head...... Ye Hua's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Fire!" ”
