Chapter 0861. A great omen
Five days, exactly five days from the siege of Hengros City by the Alan tribe to the withdrawal of the army, as if it really responded to the spell of the Tang people in history.
More than 100 years later, Gao Xianzhi also led the Anxi Iron Army out of the Green Ridge, ran 1,500 miles, hit the city of Hengros, attacked the city for five days, encountered the Arab Imperial army of 150,000 to 200,000 to come to help, the Qarlu people betrayed, and the whole army was defeated under the front and back.
In five days, the Min army led by Anna Xueli also failed to break through this important city in Central Asia, for no other reason, an edict from Belus.
If it was any other order, Anna could have ignored it and asked Tulenczo to write to Belus asking for Khan to be a clever move by Anna for so long in the political intrigues of the Byzantine court.
The Tutantoise tribe rose too quickly among the Alans, and it took two months to unify the tribes, and at this time, to disobey the agreement between Belus and the leaders of the tribes, not to attack the Sogdian cities, and to attack Hengros brazenly, it would be too much to set up another hill and work against Shahan Shabelus, and it would be easy to be counterattacked by Belus.
This is also the reason why Anna and Xue Li gambled so hard before.
However, Anna's request for a letter from Feng Khan turned the situation around.
This is a political signal from the Tutantoise people, meet my demands! I will continue to follow your orders!
In this way, the attack on Hengros City can be regarded as a show of strength, and in a short period of time, Belus is also in a tangle, on the one hand, it is the support of the Alans that he can't give up, and on the other hand, it is the Alan Khan who loyally follows him, and he agreed, which will inevitably lead to the separation of his various ministries now, today he betrayed Alan Khan, who will he betray next time, can you not agree? A civil war with the divided Tutantoise people was also something he did not want to see.
In order to fight together against the rising Arab Empire, Persia had an unsuccessful marriage with Byzantium, and Byzantium wanted to marry Anna to Belus, in order to escape the marriage, and also to see what kind of virtue this Persian prince had, Anna had a trip across Europe and Asia, so she knew Belus's character.
This question is estimated to be enough for him to struggle with for a year.
But who knows, this time Belus reacted so quickly, only on the fifth day, the messenger sent back the news, Belus agreed to depose the current Alan Khan, and set up Tulenzo as the new Khan, and in the Mudamur steppe in the territory of the Stone Kingdom to hold a ceremony for him to seal the Khan, and also invited all the departments in the river as a witness to witness the Khan of Torenzo.
At this time, it made Anna fall into passivity, and if she attacked Hengros City again, she would lose her name, and she could not complete the agreement with the lord of Cao State, and she exposed herself to the public.
In order to appease the plundering tribes, Tulenczo took out almost two-thirds of the wealth of the Tutantoise tribe, and dragged the reluctant tribes on the road to the southwest.
Almost 120,000 people, dragging their families and mouths, on a long march across the empty steppes of Central Asia.
The war of the nomads always brought the tribes to migrate with them, bringing out the core tribes together, Torenzo had a total of 30,000 nomadic cavalry, 50,000 old and weak tribes and slaves, and the remaining 40,000 were warriors and tribal families from the rest of the tribes including Turan, and other Alan tribes such as Ran and other Alan tribes.
There were about 55,000 cavalry capable of fighting.
The 5,000 cavalry of the Min army also put on the leather robes of the nomads to cover the original black armor and mingled in it.
At this time, the fierce Siberian cold air finally retreated, replaced by the warm monsoon from the Mediterranean Black Sea, in the river, the ice and snow began to melt, the grass and trees on the ground broke through the soil, and the once symbolic of death was full of water, but now it is the source of life The meltwater is growing strongly, and the cattle and sheep that have been hungry for half a winter are also running all over the mountains with joy, bowing their heads and nibbling on the precious gifts of spring.
Wanyan Aguda went to lurk back in the mountains, leading the rest of the Fujian army soldiers to follow behind the team, Xue Li was monitoring Turenzo inch by inch, people's ambitions are based on status, who knows if they get the information of Feng Khan, Tu Feiyuan will have different intentions and pit the Fujian army.
Anna herself, on the other hand, was stuffed in the lele cart, following the swaying of the ox cart, constantly frowning and thinking about the situation she was facing.
Belus is uncharacteristically indecisive, what is the purpose of so decisively wooing Tourenzo, a newly rising powerhouse? Isn't he afraid that the other clan leaders under his command will have different intentions? Or did there something go wrong with Belus's rule, and he became at odds with the surname Zhaowujiu? What went wrong with the Turgish? Or did he offend the Anxi Protectorate behind the Turgish, and he urgently needed the support of the Alans?
The problem that had been set for Belus was now all back in her head, and after thinking about it for two or three days, she came up with countless possibilities, and how many gray hairs came out, but Anna still didn't decide which one was more likely.
"Princess, come out and rest, look, the flowers are growing!"
The happy and soft voice suddenly interrupted Anna's thoughts, who were still in Lele's car watching the horse and thinking about the information, listening to this voice, Anna couldn't help but shake her head with a nostalgic wry smile.
Ruth, the little maid who had accompanied her for several years, and even ventured to Fujian together, was forced to leave the palace to marry when she was imprisoned in Galatata, and I heard that she was married to Athens, but now I don't know if she is full of children and grandchildren, living happily, or living in poverty, working hard, but she didn't want to interrupt her peaceful life, even if she re-ascended the throne, Anna didn't go to her.
This returned to the steppe, and in order to curry favor with Anna, Torenzo selected a Sogdian slave girl to serve Anna, remembering her former companion, and Anna named her Ruth.
The cheerful voice just now was made by her.
From the political quagmire of Byzantium to Fujian, Anna buried herself in the book conspiracy, and I don't know how long it has been since she has enjoyed the flowers and stepped on the spring like a girl.
Anyway, I can't figure it out, but it's good to see the move! Dropping the scroll, Anna also held her waist that was gradually thickening, and went out happily.
I should really sigh at the magic of spring, just a few days of work, the snow-covered fields have emerged a large number of stars and flowers, like stars, brilliant and beautiful, with the warm breeze on the grassland, wafting a burst of fragrance.
If it weren't for the fact that her skin was too white and tender, Anna would really be like an authentic steppe girl, running with the little maid of the Sogdians in the wind, spreading joy, picking newly grown wildflowers and inserting them on her head.
Listening to the Alan shepherd boy who was grazing, the women who were driving the sheep and milking the milk, and the tribal uncles and aunts who remembered their youth, they couldn't help but show some sincere smiles in their busy labor.
They couldn't imagine that it was this wild girl who played like a child, and it was the one who gave orders behind her back, caused the Alans to surge in two months, killed countless warriors, and made the tribe the very hot witch it is today.
It's true that I haven't had such fun for a long time, and I ran crazy with Ruth all morning, until ten o'clock at noon, when the two girls were holding a can of sweet and sour milk wine, grunting and drinking, while looking at the blue sky in a daze.
But looking at it, Anna's eyes were attracted by a goshawk soaring in the sky, maybe everyone has the expectation of flying, I don't know why, Anna was attracted by the eagle all the attention, her eyes moved with the eagle, the eagle was quiet and quiet.
As if there was a real spirit, the eagle was also hovering with Anna's car.
Suddenly, the soaring eagle shook its wings and swooped down sharply, how could it not be imagined that an eagle actually stretched out its claws and came straight to itself, seeing that the eagle's pupils were getting bigger and bigger, and lost the milk wine, Anna couldn't help but lose the milk wine, covering her head and screaming sharply.
"Ahhh Come on! ”
Anna's safety is the top priority, before leaving, Yan Agu still shed more than a dozen personal guards and cavalry to protect Anna in the dark, as soon as he heard Anna's exclamation, dozens of elite Fujian soldiers with superb martial arts also hurried over, but unfortunately, it was too late at this time.
Bang~ The eagle crashed down, but it was a few meters away from Anna, hit the hard frame of the Lehrer car, and fell straight down.
With Ruth's support, Anna escaped safely to the side, hiding behind the cavalry, and was also shocked by this accident.
"Your Highness, this eagle is dead!"
"Dead?"
Shocked and poked her head out from under the horse's neck, what caught Anna's eyes was the blood stains on the head of the uninvited guest, and this time it hit it solidly, and half of the eagle's skull was lifted, revealing the white brain.
Before Anna could recover from the shock, there was another noise in her head, and the banner of the Tutan Tuoise tribe that was fluttering very well just now actually clicked into two sections and fell from it in front of everyone's eyes......
In the evening, she was stuffed in Lele's car, but Anna's delicate brow couldn't help but wrinkle even more bitterly, on the one hand, she was always puzzled by Belus's trick, and on the other hand, what happened today also deeply affected her.
In order to gain a foothold in Fujian, Anna forced herself to read a lot of Confucian scriptures, the goshawk swooped in the court, and the flag fell without wind, which was a great omen in the Chinese soldiers' homes!
In this kind of distraction, the outside of Lele's car suddenly made a noise again, and his heart was tight, and without waiting for Ruth to help, Anna hurriedly greeted herself, and the sun was setting, but in front of Lele's car, there were several troubled figures.
Wanyan Agu was covered in blood, and was being supported by Xue Li and staggered over, also leading a few sneaky Cao people in black robes, and his uncle Amullie's fat face was also full of sadness, and when he saw Anna, he immediately trotted over in a panic, panting and saying quickly.
"Princess, princess, there is a new, new situation! 100,000 urgent!! ”
Looking at her dim face with her back to the sun, Anna couldn't help but be stunned......
