After the leaders of the tribes left, Zhao Hu stayed, and he is now Geshu? The leader of the Que tribe was therefore invited to the North Court to discuss the matter. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"I've seen my uncle!" Zhao Hu immediately bowed down after seeing Zhao Ziliang in the back hall.

Zhao Ziliang is actually very unaccustomed to being bowed down, but the ritual of kneeling is a common etiquette in this era, and if you don't let others kneel, it will make others sincerely afraid.

"You don't have to be polite, just sit down and talk!"

"Uncle Xie!"

Zhao Ziliang asked, "Have you seen your eldest brother and sister-in-law?" ”

Zhao Hu replied: "I have already seen it yesterday, and I live over there!" ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded, pondered for a moment and said: "This time, you led the troops to follow them to the country of Bahanna and returned to Gao Xianzhi's moderation, you must obey the military order, and you must not act recklessly." In fact, if you go this time, your uncle is not at ease, you used to follow the second uncle, and the second uncle can still take care of you, but this time the second uncle can't see you, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law are your only seedling, if something happens to you on the battlefield, the second uncle is difficult to explain to the eldest brother and sister-in-law! ”

Zhao Hu hurriedly said: "Second uncle, don't worry, although my martial arts are not as good as the second uncle, it is not so easy for ordinary people to hurt me, besides, I now have an heir, Yan'er is now pregnant with another one in her belly, even if I have any misfortune on the battlefield, the incense of my vein is still retained." Didn't the second uncle often say that soldiers exist to be ready to fight at any time? Now it is when we martial artists are used, if we are timid, then why wear this armor? ”

Zhao Ziliang pointed at Zhao Hu and smiled: "I didn't say I wouldn't let you go, but you thought about convincing me first." Goshu? The burden of the Que Department falls on you, and it is also your duty and obligation to lead the troops to the battle, so you can't let a woman lead the troops, right? So the second uncle won't stop you, but no matter what, there are no eyes on the battlefield, you have to be careful, you can't remove your armor casually at any time! ”

Zhao Hu arched his hand and said: "My nephew understands, so don't worry about the second uncle!" ”

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand: "Okay, go meet with your two aunts and a few younger brothers and sisters, and talk for a while, you haven't been to Tingzhou for a long time, and they have been talking about you!" ”

"Yes, I'll go!"

Within a few days, news came from Kang Guo's side, Kang Guo was unable to resist the attack of the Great Cannibals, and the whole country surrendered before the battle began, and the Great Cannibals won more than 10,000 soldiers and horses of Kang Guo in vain, and only a month later, most of the small countries in the Sogdian land opened their cities and surrendered, and only the Shi State in the south was still resisting in front of them.

The black-clothed cannibals were more cruel than the white-clothed eaters, and the lords of the Zhaowu kingdoms who surrendered later found that their surrender was actually a mistake, and the black-clothed cannibals not only controlled their armies after they surrendered, but also burned and plundered their land, and in a short period of time, the entire Sogdian land was in great trouble, and all parts of the country were burned to white ground by the black-clothed cannibals, and many Sogdians were homeless and used as slaves by the great cannibals.

Subsequently, the governor of Khorasan Province of Great Food and Bo Silin arrived in Kangguo with his personal guard troops and took up his seat in Kangguo. The Anxi Protectorate is also preparing to be transferred to the country of Bahanna and the country of Shi, and the 20,000 horses promised by the Beiting side are also marching towards the country of Bahana one after another, and Zhao Ziliang ordered people to set up a grain and grass supply point in Broken Leaf City for the army of various tribes to receive when they pass by.

At the end of May, Zhao Ziliang, who was training his soldiers and horses, received a message from Wang Can that the governor of Khorasan Province of the black-clothed army and Bo Xilin ordered his general Ziad to march to the north as the main general, Daoud as the deputy general to march north, Ziyad himself as the chief general of the Chinese army, and Daoud as the vanguard to march into the territory of Shiguo.

In order to preserve the troops, Gao Xianzhi had to order the Anxi army in the country of Shi to retreat to the territory of Bahanna, and to join the army of Beiting, which had already arrived here, to wait for the arrival of the main force of the Anxi army, and at the same time to arrange defense.

Shi Guo itself has more than 12,000 soldiers and horses, after the Tang army retreated, they felt that they were abandoned, and in the face of the menacing black-clothed Great Food Army, the Shi State army knew that it was not its opponent, so they simply surrendered to the black-clothed Great Food Army.

Zhao Ziliang immediately summoned the generals and officials to report the news.

After hearing the news, everyone reacted differently, the civil officials were very worried, thinking that the big cannibals were ferocious, and if they continued to expand northward, they were afraid that sooner or later the Tang Dynasty would see a superiority, but the generals were very anxious, they all wanted to fight as martial artists, only by fighting could they have military merits, only in order to distribute the spoils, and to be able to be promoted and rich, but now this battle has nothing to do with them, of course they feel a pity.

Chu Ge got up and clenched his fists and asked, "General, the last general has something to understand, after the black-clothed food army arrived in Kangguo, why did it attack the north alone, but not attack Tocharo in the south?" It stands to reason that Tocharian is better to clean up, and they can get more supplies, food, grass and servant army when they defeat Tocharo."

Other generals and officials also didn't understand what the reason was, and even civilian officials such as Liu Wei, Dugujun and Gao Shi also showed doubts.

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said: "Tocharian is based on the Tiemen Pass in the north, the Great Snow Mountain in the south, the Tang Dynasty in the east, and the Great Food Country in the west, but most of the western part of Tocharian is desert, the land is barren, and the output is very small!" And now the northern part of Tocharian is full of chieftains, each of them is in their own way, Tocharian Yehu is basically powerless to govern, Tocharian seems to have a large land area, but in fact there is no threat to the big cannibals, so for the big cannibals, it doesn't matter whether they beat Tocharian or not, it will take a lot of time to knock down Tocharo, but they can't loot much property, which is no different from chicken ribs! And if the black-clothed food army goes south to fight Tochar, it will give me enough time for the Tang Dynasty to prepare, the commander of the black-clothed food army and Bo Xilin is my old friend, I fought with him when I went to the big food country to meet Princess Hera last year, this person has talent in the army, if he was tired of troops, I can't take advantage of him! And Bo Xilin knew very well that instead of wasting time attacking the enclave of Tocharo, which had little oil and water, it was better to go north at a very fast speed to annex Shi and Bathana, and then have a decisive battle with my Tang Dynasty in Shi or Bathana, as long as we defeated our country's military power in the Western Regions, if the Great Cannibals wanted to attack Tocharian again, wouldn't they fight as much as they wanted? ”

After Zhao Ziliang's analysis, everyone suddenly realized.

Zhao Ziliang was a little worried at this time, he said: "The advance speed of the black-clothed Great Food Army is very fast, and now the Shiguo army has surrendered, and the thousands of troops deployed in the Stone Country by Anxi were ordered to retreat to the territory of the Bahanna Kingdom due to the huge disparity in strength, and the Gao Xianzhi Department is still in the territory of Anxi, but the terrain of the Bahanna Country is different from the Stone Country, most of the black-clothed Great Food Army are cavalry, and it is not very easy to attack the complex terrain of the Bahanna Country, but if you want to fight a decisive battle with the Anxi Army, It is either in the territory of the Stone Kingdom or in the territory of the Bahanna Kingdom, as for the specific location of the decisive battle, it depends on how the commanders of the two sides lay out! ”

On June 11, Zhao Ziliang had just returned from inspecting the forging of weapons and armor from Xilin, and Wang Can came to report that night: "General, the situation seems to be a little bad, several Western Turkic tribes under my Beiting jurisdiction from the Aral Sea to the north of Henglus City have escaped control and surrendered to the Great Cannibals!" ”

"What?" Zhao Ziliang was extremely surprised when he heard the news, he couldn't help but stand up and said with a serious expression: "What the hell is going on?" Do you have any specific news? ”

"Yes, one of the captains sent by the Terracotta Envoy to these tribal territories to monitor them was seriously injured and ran back to the city of Shui Jian, the eye of heaven has a stronghold in the city of Shui Jian, our people rescued this seriously injured captain, according to what he said after he woke up, the big cannibal actually sent a group of men and horses through the vast desert to the south bank of the Aral Sea, this force was led by a general named Said, he then launched an attack on the three Western Turkic tribes who moved there, under the sneak attack, the three Western Turkic tribes were quickly defeated, Only a few fled to the farther north in the cold regions, where many were killed, and some were captured as slaves! ”

The matter is serious, and it is very serious, if the area from the Aral Sea to the north of Henglus is still under the control of Beiting, this battle, Gao Xianzhi will be much easier to fight, but the area from the Aral Sea to Henglus City is occupied by the black-clothed Great Food Army, Gao Xianzhi needs to pay attention to more than just the country of Bahanna, what if the black-clothed Great Food Army attacks from the north to the east, instead of attacking from the country of Stone to Bahanna?

Zhao Ziliang immediately walked to the map to check it, and quickly marked the spheres of influence and troop deployment of both sides on the ground with a pen, the territory of Bathhana is mountainous, which is not conducive to large-scale cavalry combat, and Posilin obviously knows this, so he will send Said to lead a group of soldiers and horses to attack the Western Turkic tribes from the Aral Sea to the city of Hengrus, wanting to take Henglogos, and then advance all the way to the east. It's just because the entire territory of the country of Bakhana is on the western branch of the Tianshan Mountain Range, and the Great Food Army is all cavalry, which is obviously not suitable for mountain warfare, and Bo Xilin is also playing to his strengths and avoiding weaknesses, and he knows that Gao Xianzhi is very experienced in mountain warfare, and he doesn't want to use his own shortcomings to deal with Gao Xianzhi's strengths, so Saeed has won the first-line territory from the Aral Sea to Henglus, as a defender, Gao Xianzhi is now led by the nose.

After studying the map, Zhao Ziliang asked, "Where is Gao Xianzhi's main force now?" ”

Wang Can said: "Five days ago, he has arrived in the country of Bakhana, and I believe that he will soon get the news that the Great Food Army has occupied the place west of Henglus City, and the Anxi side also has relevant details, although it is not as good as us, but this kind of news cannot be concealed for a long time."
