"General Qiyu, General Wusi'er has led the army to the southwest." By the time Hammoud arrived at the middle line between the Aral Sea New City and Huoxun, Us'er had already led his cavalry troops to the southwest, and with a great victory, he suppressed the Great Eclipse army on the border of Dashi. In the first battle of the Aral Sea New City, Hammad and Wusi'er joined forces to defeat the 100,000 Tianfang Sect army, and the frontal battlefield that Deying was responsible for led the army to launch a counterattack when the other side received the surrender order after Wusi'er defeated the opponent's Chinese army, and led the army to counterattack, with 30,000 troops, the main force of the opponent's 60,000 or 70,000 people, and completely defeated the opponent, and the scattered soldiers all over the ground made it take Deying a whole day and a night to capture more than 50,000 prisoners of war, and the remaining more than 10,000 people were scattered on the battlefield. Hammud, on the other hand, led the Chinese army and artillery units to enter the decisive stage of the frontal battlefield and began to join up with Us'er, and originally planned to fight another battle against the Dashi army that came to help. However, it is a pity that the Great Food Army has not moved at all times, which makes Wu Si'er, who originally wanted to fight another battle, with regret and two battalions of cavalry troops directly forced forward, intending to force the other side to make concessions on the border line. This kind of offensive coercion is also the basis for the second round of negotiations with the follow-up Ministry of Foreign Affairs, so Hammud asked Deying to send people to escort this large number of prisoners of war to return to Anxizhou quickly after Wusi'er left, and at the same time summoned the troops of a battalion of Anxi Corps on the Anxi side of Anxizhou to quickly come to help Wusier join forces to suppress the big cannibals.

"Immediately send an order to Deying, quickly hand over the prisoners of war to the rear and then lead the army to join the Chinese army, this time we must completely dispel the ambition of the cannibals to go north, and win a period of peace for the northwest of the Tang Dynasty." On the one hand, Hammoud wrote a battle report to report to the headquarters, and on the other hand, he quickly sent a message to Deying to seize the time to hand over the prisoners, and then led his troops to the south to join the Chinese army.

At the beginning of October of the sixth year of the weather, Hammud led 60,000 people from the front line of the Tang Western Expeditionary Army to arrive at the Dashi border, cutting off all the roads leading to the Aral Sea region and the northern border of the Tang Dynasty. The local army was also rapidly mobilized, and the troops were constantly gathering on the Khorasan border and then going to the forefront of the confrontation with the Tiance army, and the two sides launched an unprecedented confrontation in this desert area, during which the two sides were tense, and the slightest carelessness would lead to an unprecedented war. However, unlike the high level of tension of the Great Cannibal's full alert application, Hammoud looked leisurely and unhurried at this time, waiting for instructions from the command on the other hand, and even held artillery exercises on the front line, the rumbling cannon constantly beat the nerves of the Great Cannibal, and also tested the confidence of the Great Eclipse's high-level in this kind of suppression day after day.

At this time, Wan Yi's Western Expeditionary Army Headquarters and the urgent news from Baghdad also arrived at the front line almost at the same time, the difference is that Hammud's side has strengthened his determination to stop peace with war after receiving Wan Yi's instructions, and the 60,000 troops are lined up to dig all kinds of war fortifications on the spot, and they have a great determination to fight with the other side again for a long time at any time, and even Hammud also sent someone to send a war letter to the confrontation of the Great Food Army, asking the other side to decide whether to fight or to decide as soon as possible, and the Tiance Army will definitely not play conspiracy. Determined to defeat your opponent on the battlefield openly. When this war letter was delivered to the other party, Ayebi, who rushed from Baghdad, and the local coach saw that it was Hammoud who signed it, and their faces were very ugly. Ayebi, as the defeated general who led the battle with the Tiance Army last time but was completely discouraged by Hammud, has an instinctive fear of the Tiance Army, especially Hammud, and through the training of the breech gun purchased during this time, he has a deeper understanding of the power of this weapon of the Tiance Army, and it is obvious that the guns used by the Tiance Army are more advanced than those sold to them, and this war can no longer be fought. And although Ayebi prepared secretly, the craftsmen he recruited were at a loss with the finished breech gun and could not imitate it at all, which made Ayebi resolutely support the caliph's idea that the Great Food should develop westward, recover the territory of the White and Green Great Food in advance, and first unify and then seek foreign affairs. Through the good relationship with Datang, accelerate the arming of oneself and strengthen oneself, and go to the north or west to develop. Unlike the Tang Dynasty, who had no vague impression of the vast area of Taixi and the southwest of Da Shi at this time, as a local landlord, Da Shiren knew very well how big Taixi and the land known as Egypt were, so Ah Yebi was not interested in confronting Da Tang in the northwest. This is also the reason why he finally agreed to cede the land in the Aral Sea region when he met Li Xuanqing in Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty.

"General Güran, we can't go on like this. We are already so nervous before the main force of the Tang army arrives, once we provoke their main force to go south, we are afraid that we will really have to fight a national war, which is not in the interests of our Great Food, nor is it in line with the national policy of unifying the Great Food formulated by the great caliphate. Ayebi looked at the local commander of the army in Khorasan with a solemn face and said: "This general Hammoud sent this war letter obviously to provoke us and attract us to go out to fight with them in the field, so that their powerful firepower can be used to the fullest. Hammoud asked his personal guard to bring over a breech gun purchased from Datang and said: "General Gulan, you see this is the rifle we bought, Datang actually used such a powerful weapon in exchange for money, then their own army will only use more advanced than this." ”

"Your Excellency, have you ever seen the kind of rifle they use themselves?" Gu Lan took the breech gun and took aim and then released a shot, making a crisp gunshot, and the target in the distance was directly shot out of a bowl-sized hole, nodded and said: "I really want to get their own guns to see what kind of ingenuity it is." ”

"Datang is very strict about the secrecy of firearms, and when our mission was in Chang'an, it was unable to contact the craftsmen who made such weapons, nor could they persuade the merchants who transported them to us to smuggle guns across the border. And our own craftsmen still have no clue so far, so for the time being, we have no countermeasures, as for that powerful explosive weapon, Datang directly refused to sell, no matter how much we paid the other party's refusal. Ayebi sighed and smiled bitterly: "But I have already gathered all the craftsmen of the entire empire to gather in Baghdad, hoping to unite the efforts of everyone to see if there is a glimmer of hope." But what I want to say is not to easily provoke Datang before we get a breakthrough. According to the agreement we reached with the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty did not violate it this time, on the contrary, some people in our country were unwilling to give up those affiliated tribes in the north, so they hurriedly gathered our sect members to rashly fight with the other party, which is a typical irresponsibility to the empire and against the will of the caliph. ”

"Your Excellency, since the caliph has issued an oracle, then we should not go against the will of the true god, Gulan is willing to obey the caliph's orders, but I don't know what the Tang side means. If the other party does not give up, then this battle is still inevitable. Although Gulan expressed his intention to obey the caliph, but this matter does not make a slap, and his side can stop fighting, but at this time, the initiative on the battlefield still lies on the side of Datang, and the key depends on whether people are willing or not.

"This matter can be left to me, I will go out of the city tomorrow to negotiate with the other party and let the other party withdraw its troops. The caliph has instructed me to pay a price, and as long as they withdraw our troops, we will be free to carry out the caliphate's national policy. Ah Yebi was obviously prepared earlier, so he smiled and said: "And there must be trouble on the Datang side, otherwise the main force will not be left in the mainland, but less than 100,000 people will be sent south to fight." Their newly recovered northwest land needs to be garrisoned, and those newly conquered lands and people also need to be managed by people, so in fact, they don't have too many troops to confront us, but if we make a provocative move, the other party can still pay a certain price to fight us. Ah Yebi still has a comprehensive analysis, "So we need time, and Datang also needs time." I'll find a way to convince them to quit and if I might find a way to draw their attention in other directions and buy us time. Ayebi pointed to the east and smiled: "General Gulan still remembers that in the east of us, there used to be a big empire over there, the Kushan, which was later known as the Gupta Dynasty, if the attention of the Tang Dynasty is over there, I think we will have enough time to recover the land that was divided by those traitors in the past, and then strengthen ourselves." As soon as Ayebi's words came out, Gu Lan suddenly realized, nodded and smiled: "Ayebi is wiser than Your Excellency, that land is vast and boundless, and the empires of the two major dynasties are planted in it, if the Tang Dynasty looks at it, I think we have enough time to develop and grow our empire, and even if we fight with the Tang Dynasty again, we will not be afraid of them." ”

Ayebi and Gulan reached an agreement and went out of the city to meet Hamoud the next day, but the difference was that Ayebi directly put all the responsibility on the tribes in the southern part of the Aral Sea, and Ayebi apologized for the losses caused by this battle to the Tang Dynasty, and said that he would ask His Excellency the Caliph to bear part of the compensation to the Tang Dynasty. The so-called stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, Ayebi's low-profile Hamoud is not a pure diplomat, and these are naturally unable to answer, so the two sides talked well from the beginning, Ayebi said that he would bear compensation, and made it clear that the Great Food Empire directly gave up all the dominance of the Aral Sea region, and could directly issue an announcement in the name of the empire.

After Hammoud reached a preliminary agreement, Ayebi hurriedly went north to Shule to find Wan Yi, and brought rich gifts and a large amount of property to apologize to the Tang Dynasty, and said that the new tributary mission of the Great Food Empire had been prepared, and once the two sides reached an agreement, they would set off again to Chang'an to meet His Majesty the Emperor, and then they would solemnly accuse His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and compensate for the losses of the Tang Dynasty. Wan Yi did not plan to resume the war in the winter after accepting nearly 200,000 prisoners of war before and after receiving the advice of Tuoba Siji, so he agreed to Ayebi's request and withdrew Hamoud's army. Ah Yebi knows what Wan Yi thinks, but as Ah Yebi thinks, the northwest side of the Tang Dynasty at this time has also entered a period of rapid development, and the main role of the army is no longer to open up territory to the outside world, but to assist local economic development and accumulate strength for the next step. And the so-called map in the south has also been handed over to the navy to operate, so this map Wan Yi directly sent someone to send it directly back to the Chang'an base camp and handed it over to the General Staff to study.

Hammud's front-line corps relied on the prestige of victory to directly suppress the counterattack of the Great Food Empire against the Tang Dynasty, and also forced the Great Food Empire to shift its attention to other directions, winning the most urgently needed time for the development and stability of the northwest of the Tang Dynasty, and the Central Plains itself also avoided a large amount of war expenditures because of the stability of the northwest, and the massive amount of funds saved were all invested in economic development.

However, at this time, Tuoba Sizhi and Wan Yi, the two highest military and political leaders in the northwest, were planning how to distribute the large number of prisoners of war captured in this war. The prisoners of war of the Tessis who were captured from the western part of the Aral Sea were less affected by the Tianfang Sect and could be arranged in places like the Anbei Courtyard and even Gaochang in an appropriate amount, but the other Tianfang prisoners of war could only be temporarily arranged in Khotan to Safar. Fortunately, however, the vast Green Mountains required a large number of people to excavate, and many roads in Khotan also needed to be cleared. The northwest region is huge, and 200,000 prisoners of war can't even make a splash when they are scattered, but it is basically enough for the most urgently needed road construction and industrial and mining mining, and the industrial zone planned by Gao Chongmin in Gaochang has also begun to enter the construction stage, and the Yelu family and the Murong family have joined forces with more than 30 manufacturing families in the interior of the Central Plains to be responsible for the construction, and the local small and large businesses are responsible for transportation and other primary work. This model of foreign and local co-construction also closely united the local people in Gaochang, so that the rule of the Tang Dynasty in Gaochang was quickly consolidated, and with the passage of time, this model was gradually promoted to other parts of the northwest, and the connection between the northwest and the mainland of the Tang Dynasty began to develop rapidly.

At the end of October of the sixth year of the Apocalypse, when Hammud led his troops back to Genross, the war in the northwest that lasted nearly two months was completely over, and the Aral Sea region was finally included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
