Ye Haya stayed in Han Er Bali for only three days and then went south to the Tang Dynasty, after he left, Han Er Bali returned to calm, Jiegan Gas did not become a hard-working person as Ye Haya hoped, he locked himself in the palace for ten days, drank and had fun with a hundred newly acquired beauties, and threw all government affairs to Xiangguo Jiang Mu He Dagan, this is his characteristic, what to do is to have fun before he is willing to stop, of course the same is true for women.

Early this morning, Surman was preparing to go to the Manichaean monastery as usual, he was not in a very good mood, and on the evening of Yehaya's arrival, he summoned Surman and told him clearly that his merits could be made the governor of Bukhara, but his family was far from enough to get the land, he had to let the Hui be industrious, and work hard to attack the Tang Dynasty, to weaken the Tang Dynasty's rule in the Western Regions, and if possible, it was best to attack the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, so that his family could get a large amount of land and slaves.

The reason for Suerman's upset is not that he can't persuade Jiegan Gas to attack the Tang Dynasty, Jiegan Gas himself is a strong anti-Tang person, the key is that the Hui can't attack the Tang Dynasty now, and the Huang Gansi people are like a sharp dagger against the back of the Hui Dynasty, and there are those betrayers who contain them, so how can they send troops to attack the Tang Dynasty.

There is also a very important reason that Sulman saw the wrong person, he thought that after Jiegangas came to power, he would be fierce and prepare for a decisive battle with the Tang army, but he did not expect that he was a drunkard, indulging in drinking and having fun with women all day long. Completely forgot about his oath at the beginning of the year. After the beginning of spring, he wanted to kill the people of the Gang to the ground, except for firmly controlling the military power in his hands, all the rest of the government affairs were thrown to Xiangguo Jiang Muhe Dagan, and he ignored nothing.

If this continues, seeing that he is addicted to wine more and more deeply, when will he be able to become diligent? When will I be able to get the land of Bukhara? Sulman was worried.

As soon as I walked down the street, I saw a person hurrying over. Surman immediately recognized him, his name was Curt, the third largest Sogdian merchant in the Uighurs, and the famous family of Bukhara. Because of Bukhara, Sulman had a good personal relationship with him, and seeing his frightened expression at this moment, Sulman couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Curt was naturally the proprietor of the big caravan intercepted by Shi Yang, and he had a total of two such caravans. He was anxious that a caravan carrying pig iron had arrived twenty days before, but had been delayed, and half of his capital had been thrown into it, and he had received the definite news late last night that the bodies of his caravan attendants had been found at the edge of the desert.

The news made him feel like he had gone crazy. He immediately went to ask for an audience with the Hui Khan. But when he was rejected, he thought of Sulman again. So he hurried to him, and he saw Sulman at a glance. Excitedly shouted: "National teacher, please help me, I'm going bankrupt Sulman was stunned, stopped his horse and asked him, "What happened?" ”

"My caravan was intercepted and killed by the Tang army in the south of Yibo Sea, and all the whereabouts of everything are unknown, please ask the national division to help me." Curt was so anxious that she burst into tears.

"Don't be in a hurry! Don't be in a hurry!" Surman hurriedly comforted him, he already felt bad in his heart, he knew that the Tang army was already building a city in Yibohai, if this was the hand of the Tang army, wouldn't Hui be completely blocked? Even if the food support is not enough, the supplies will not be able to come, this may be an opportunity, and Sulman thought of a way to make Jiegangas diligent.

The palace was quiet, filled with the pungent smell of wine, Jiegangas and more than 20 beauties drank and enjoyed until midnight before falling asleep, he has not woken up yet, Jiegangas was lying on a golden couch, snoring like thunder, two attendants probed their brains at the door, did not dare to come in, although the national teacher told them that there was a big matter, they still did not dare to wake up the Khan, that means they would fall to the ground, the two looked at each other helplessly, and then turned and went out.

Outside the palace, Sulman walked up and down the steps with his hands behind his back, he had been waiting for nearly an hour, and he was really a little annoyed in his heart, this Gelgangas had gone too far, what else was there in his life besides wine and women? Sulman regretted it for the first time, he regretted that he should not have supported this drunken man to take the throne, he didn't care about Hui Hui's life or death, but Hui Hui went down like this, and refused to attack the Tang Dynasty, which would affect his future.

"National teacher." An attendant finally walked out, and he reluctantly said to Sulman: "The national teacher should come back in the afternoon!" We really can't wake up the Khan. ”

"This bastard!" Sulman finally became angry, and he stomped his foot fiercely and scolded: "One day Hui Hui will be buried in his hands." ”

After scolding, he left a book and turned around and walked away quickly.

He didn't wake up until noon, he was dizzy, he turned over and sat up, but he found a letter beside him, and he didn't have the energy to ask about state affairs because of his excessive indulgence, and he was upset when he saw political affairs, he rubbed his eyes, and saw that this letter was written by the national teacher Sulman, and if it was someone else, he would not hesitate to throw it away, but he still had to read Sulman's letter.

Jiegangas opened the letter and stood up in shock only halfway through reading, the Tang army intercepted Curt's caravan, hoping that he could send troops to pull out the Tang army's stronghold near Yibohai, Jiegangas of course knew what the consequences would be in this way, he didn't care about the Tang army's ban on grain trade, he still had a big cannibal to count on, but now that the Tang army has intercepted the passage to the west, it means that they will not get any supplies when they return to the country, and in the end they can only sit and wait for death.

Although Jiegan was extravagant, he did not dare to despise the issue of the life and death of the Hui Dynasty, he took a few steps, and immediately ordered: "The fate of the country and the national teacher will come to see me immediately." "Great Lakes City has gradually come to an end, and in the past month, Shi Yang has intercepted more than a dozen groups of Sogdian caravans that did not heed the warnings and insisted on going to Han'er Bali. These caravans are not large. Most of them are individual organizations, businessmen who take risks for money, kill a lot of people in the interception, and the rest are also arrested, as the Great Lakes City is about to be completed, these more than a thousand captured businessmen are gradually becoming a burden, Shi Yang after a warning. set them all free,

But Shi Yang knows one thing very well, he knows that the Hui people will definitely not sit idly by, starting from August. He sent a large number of scouts to investigate the movements of the Hui army by water and land, but to his surprise, the Hui army did not move at all times.

One day in September, a scout came to report. Found a large caravan about thirty miles away from Dahu City, nearly two thousand camels, more than four hundred people, loaded with all kinds of goods, Shi Yang couldn't help but be a little stunned, this caravan actually appeared suddenly, without the slightest warning.

After months of interception. They have established a complete interception process: warning, re-warning, interception and arrest. It had been implemented very smoothly, but the sudden appearance of this large caravan disrupted his process. Didn't the scouts he planted in the west notice their appearance? Of course, there is another possibility, that is, this caravan is coming from the direction of Demon Dragon City in the south. Passed through the great desert, but even so, how could there be no news from the Demon Dragon City, if it was a mistake, it would not be a caravan of two thousand camels!

Shi Yang made a simple guess, and he realized that this caravan must be hiding a cat, either as a bait for the enemy, or as a disguise for the Hui army, but what is hidden in such an obvious lure to the enemy? After pondering for a long time, Shi Yang finally made a bold decision.

Thirty miles away from the Great Lakes City is the junction of the forest and the Gobi, a large caravan composed of more than 2,000 camels is leisurely walking to the east, they don't seem to care at all about the Tang army scouts haunting the edge of the forest, the leader of the caravan is a strong man in his thirties, although he is wearing Sogdian clothes, but his eyebrows and eyes are clearly Turkic appearance, and he does not have the shrewdness that Sogdian merchants should have, but there is a kind of military man's unique calm and majesty, and the retinue behind him is also strong and strong, and his eyes are cold and looking at the north, Of course, this was not a Sogdian merchant, this was a caravan disguised by the Uighur army, which came from the interior of the Uighur and made a big circle to the vicinity of the Great Lakes City, and the large boxes on the camel's back were not goods, but nearly 2,000 Uighur soldiers hiding inside.

But they are not the main force that will attack Dahu City, they are just bait, the real main force of about 10,000 troops waiting dozens of miles away in the southeast, their tasks are two, one is to attack the Tang army that came to intercept the caravan, and the other is to provide protection for the upcoming three large caravans, as for the attack on Dahu City, the Hui people know that if it is a city in the interior of the Tang Dynasty, they may be able to break through, but they can only sigh at the military castle specially built by the Tang army, they have no ability to crack the Tang army's heavenly thunder bombs.

This large caravan has been wandering at the edge of the forest for almost two hours, and has never seen the Tang army that came to intercept, and finally the leader of the team has begun to be a little breathless, he sent someone to report the situation to the main army, but without waiting for his messenger to set off, the main force has sent information, ordering him to continue to move forward, fifty miles to the east, found that the Tang army has sent troops to intercept the signs, so, the camel caravan set off again, slowly, leisurely, step by step to the east.

Close to the sparkling and vast Yibo Sea, a thousand Tang cavalry is galloping west along the lakeside, Shi Yang took the lead, galloping in the forefront, just an hour ago, he got the scout's pigeon letter, found three large caravans in the southwest of the Yi Bohai, got this news, Shi Yang immediately understood the true intention of the Hui army, they actually want to use the army to provide escort for these three caravans, and their lure may be just an additional action, they want to use this opportunity to attack the arrogance of the Tang army to intercept the caravan at the same timeBut in this way, there is a loophole, the three caravans will be unguarded by the army, walking alone for a distance, from the current intelligence along the way, the Hui people did not divide their troops to protect the three caravans five hundred miles away.

Shi Yang thought twice about this opportunity, and he finally made a bold decision, firstly, he used a boat to transport 1,000 Tang troops from Yibocheng on the opposite shore to strengthen the defense of Dahu City, and secondly, he sent a virtual army of 300 men to attract the enemy brigade in the east, and he himself led a thousand cavalry to the west to intercept the three caravans before the arrival of the Hui army.

It is about 500 miles from here to the westernmost part of the sea and can be reached in three days at the earliest. And his false soldiers will soon be recognized by the Hui people. Thus realizing that his real intention was that this would be a race of speed and time with the Hui army, to see who could stop the three caravans first, and the Tang army, each with two horses, marched day and night, and galloped westward.

The camel caravan of the Hui army was still moving eastward unhurriedly, and the camel bells were crisp and pleasant. The Tang army, which was hidden in the forest, had already walked more than 30 miles, and the team intercepted by the Tang army still did not appear, and the main force of the Hui army had already rushed to the front. The arrangement was fan-shaped, quietly waiting for the arrival of the interception team of the Don Army.

Time passed little by little, the Tang army never appeared, and the leader of the Hui army who presided over the operation was called Khorganda, and the official worshiped the Hui left to kill the general. The task given to him by Jieganas was very clear, first of all, to defeat the arrogance of the Tang army to intercept the caravan, and secondly, to provide military escort for the main caravan of the Sogdian merchants, and if possible, it was best to pull out the stronghold established by the Tang army's invasion of the Yibohai Valley.

It was getting dark, and Horganda was still patiently waiting for news from the spies. The camel caravan that lured the enemy by itself was already five miles away. But the intercepted Tang Army never appeared, and an ominous feeling quietly welled up in his heart.

Then. A yellow dust suddenly appeared in the distance, one of their spies. As he was galloping towards this side, Horganda immediately urged his horse to meet him, and asked in a loud voice, "Did you find it?" Where exactly is the Don army that wants to intercept the caravan? ”

"Returning to the general, the interception party of the Tang army is moving eastward again, and we have found their traces fifty miles away."

"What! Still fifty miles away? "Horganda was so angry that he almost roared, and in the morning he said that he had found the traces of the Tang army fifty miles away, and now his own team had easily arrived, and they had moved fifty miles eastward, and this was not leading them eastward step by step. What the hell is Tang Jun doing?

"General, I think there's something wrong inside!" A commander seemed to have understood a little, and he whispered to Horganda: "My subordinates have an idea, could this be the Tang Army's plan to attack the west?" ”

"You mean

Horganda suddenly came to his senses, oh no, the three caravans, he immediately turned around and shouted, "The whole army immediately turned around and headed west, General Modada."

"The last general!" A commander galloped out on horseback and saluted on his horse, "Please command, General." ”

"I order you to lead two thousand troops, each with two horses, to march westward day and night, and you must meet the three caravans before the Tang army."

"Yes!"

With a wave of his hand, a Hui emergency army immediately broke out of the ranks and followed him westward, followed by a large group of Hui troops, who followed closely behind, heading west to meet the three caravans transporting important supplies.

The Tang army galloped in the dark and rumbling in the middle of the night, the sky was cloudy, not a star could be seen, the black forests on both sides passed in front of their eyes, the lake slapped against the shore, making a low noise, like the sigh of the dark god, the army galloped on the thick meadow, sometimes over a hill, sometimes into a forest, many soldiers were exhausted, they tightly hugged the neck of the equally exhausted war horse, to prevent themselves from falling off the horse in the confusion.

The cavalry rushed to a high post, Shi Yang looked back at the east, the lake was dark and unfathomable, and a strange spot appeared occasionally, as if it was the entrance to hell, and now it was the deepest hour of the night, and it would not be long before the sky should be bright, Shi Yang silently calculated, in three days, they had marched for about four hundred miles, and the Sogdian caravan should not be far away, he immediately ordered: "The whole army rests on the spot for two hours!" ”

The soldiers seemed to have received an amnesty order, jumped off the horses, simply fed the horses, fell to the ground and fell asleep, they were too tired, Shi Yang couldn't sleep, he sat under a big tree, gnawed a grass root, waiting for the news of the scout, only half an hour passed, Shi Yang just closed his eyes, suddenly, he was awakened by a rapid sound of horses' hooves, he stood up, only to see two war horses running from the west, yes, it was the scout of the Tang army, Shi Yang strode up to meet it, and asked urgently: "Is there a caravan situation?" ”

One of the scouts replied in a loud voice, "Returning to the general, the caravan is camped twenty miles to the southwest, about 8,000 camels, and the three caravans have been combined into one, and there is no army to protect them. ”

Shi Yang was overjoyed, he immediately turned around and shouted: "Get up for me all and set off immediately!" ”

The exhausted Tang army was reminded from their sleep by the officers, and in the midst of stern shouts, they washed their faces with the cold mist on the grass, and the cold stimulated them to wake up, and the soldiers immediately turned on their horses and rushed to the southwest with their lord.

The sky is not yet bright, the grassland is filled with a thick fog, here is only ten miles away from the Yibo Sea, the air is very watery, the gray fog is like cow's milk, twenty steps away can not see the situation ahead, there is a huge caravan stationed by a small river, this caravan has nearly 8,000 camels, it is the three Sogdian merchants of the Hui Hui joint team, all from Samarkand, a total of 30,000 stone of tea, as well as salt, sugar, cloth and other large quantities of materials, this is the most urgently needed item in the Hui at present, can be sold at a high price in the Hui.

The camp is very quiet, most of the people are still asleep, hundreds of tents are like mushrooms growing overnight on the grassland, there are only more than six hundred people in this caravan, this is the shrewdness of long-distance merchants, with the least number of people to control the caravan, the consumption of the journey can be minimized, in the dense fog, dozens of night watchmen with knives wandering outside the camp, mainly to prevent the invasion of wolves, they are not worried about the attack of the Tang army, here is still four or five hundred miles away from the castle of the Tang army, and there will be Hui troops to escort them after a while.

The sky was already white, the sky was about to dawn, and the fog was thinning, and the sight distance had reached fifty paces, when suddenly there was a loud cry from the night watchman in the northeast corner of the camp, followed by a long scream, and a commotion began to appear in the northeast corner, and many people came out of their tents, and they already felt the shaking of the horses' hooves against the ground.

"Kill!" A Tang army suddenly appeared in front of the camp as if it had fallen from the sky, only to hear a Tang army general shouting: "There is no forgiveness for killing, and no one will be left." ”

The brutal slaughter began, the Sogdians ran out of the tent in great terror, the Tang army horses around them swept by, and the heads of the people immediately flew up, and the Tang army in black armor mercilessly slashed the Sogdians who fled in all directions with knives, and some Sogdians rode camels to flee for their lives, but they did not run far, and they were killed by the sharp arrows of the Tang army who caught up, and in an instant the Sogdian camp was full of blood and corpses.

In less than half an hour, the Tang army had completed the brutal massacre, they began to clean up the goods, the mountains of tea were poured with fire oil and burned, salt, sugar and other materials were thrown into the river, and tens of thousands of camels were led south by a team of Tang troops.

Two hours later, the sun has completely expelled the fog on the grassland, the raging fire is still burning, the blazing flame soared ten zhang high, until noon, the fire finally began to weaken, Shi Yang saw that the materials were almost burned out, he waved his hand, the Tang cavalry immediately galloped to the southwest, they will bypass Yibohai, go around to the north of Yibohai, and return to Yibocheng.

At dusk, a group of Uighur cavalry finally arrived at a gallop, but all they could see was piles of tea leaves still smoking from charcoal and corpses all over the ground.
