In the anxious voice of a certain sad princess, this simple celebration banquet passed in laughter and laughter.

Early the next morning, the scout cavalry who had been sent out from afar also returned to the camp from the north, bringing new news.

I don't know if it was because of the military strength of the Min State, or because I was not ready to fight with the Min State, the combined forces of the Anxi Protectorate and the Turgish Khanate actually withdrew north to Baili overnight, and returned to the nomadic territory of the Turgish Khanate at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, and would not be involved in the river again in the short term.

I really don't know if Belus, who escaped on his own last night, will be able to catch up with the big group.

Under such circumstances, the hungry and thirsty Min army, in addition to leaving a few hundred people in this nameless valley that had been renamed Deshenggu as an early warning scout to build a military fort here, the rest of the army also slowly retreated to the south of the Green Ridge.

To the north of the rugged Tianshan Mountains is the vast green ridge, and hundreds of miles further forward is the Western Regions, the territory of the Anxi Protectorate, from here you can overlook Shenjing Chang'an.

Since childhood, Li Jie didn't know how many times he had fantasized that he would be transferred to the Western Regions full of mystery and romance after the closure of the country in the future, leading the Tang people to go further, and fulfilling the regret of the previous generation that China stopped in the Pamirs, and the opportunity to dominate Central Asia and embrace the whole world was lost.

The last one left, standing on the remaining veins of the Tianshan Mountains and looking at the north for a long time, Li Jie turned the horse's head and went south nostalgically under the urging of the guards such as Zanpo.

The pursuit and rush took the Min army a day, carrying a large number of wounded and prisoners of war, walking in the folds of the rugged Tianshan Mountains, but it took the Min army two full days, and on the third day it returned to the place where Belus had set up an ambush.

Now, this place has changed its appearance, and everywhere are black dragon flags belonging to the Great Min Xuan, and the angry dragon with teeth and claws is high above and looks down on this land.

Nearly 80,000 steppe wolf riders of all ethnic groups were all captured by the Fujian army soldiers who caught up with them, disarmed, and imprisoned with the women and children of the captured tribes, and manually dug a circular pit of more than ten miles, and nearly 200,000 people squatted in a circle in embarrassment, waiting anxiously for the new master to adjudicate them.

Moreover, the cavalry of the Fujian State rushed out and constantly broke the other nomadic tribes scattered in the territory of Zhaowu Jiu and gathered here.

On the other hand, the army of Xue Li was miserable enough, and the tens of thousands of troops surnamed Zhaowu Jiu also did not leave, nor did they dare to go, and camped awkwardly on the side, waiting for Li Jie to return with the main force under the custody of the Fujian army.

The most enjoyable is only tens of thousands of Alans tribes, who let them see the opportunity the fastest and belong to the Min army the earliest? Now, these Alan cavalry look down on their former allies who have been encircled in a circle with the posture of a dignified victory.

Moreover, these days, several brothers of Turenzo are still jealous of the little Khan of the Qarluq tribe who had joined the Fujian army earlier.

The same nomadic tribes are attached to the Min people, and they can know who has fought whom, who will be the largest tribe in the vast steppe between the Hindu Kush Mountains and the river, and the spokesman of the Min king, and the people of the various nomadic tribes captured in the circle can be eaten by whoever eats them on the largest scale.

So these days, leading more than 10,000 Turkic warriors under his command to chase down the remnants of the Belus army, Ashina Yehu did his best, and even went into battle in person, breaking the sweat tent of Belus, the gold and silver treasures that Belus brought to the grassland, and the children and slaves did not take a penny, all of them were sealed and made a book, waiting for the King of Min to receive them.

The Alan people also know the truth that they can't bear the child and can't catch the wolf, and the livestock raised by the tribe have almost been slaughtered in the past few days, and the dried milk, meat, and all kinds of food are desperately supplied to the Fujian army without money, but it makes the left-behind Laijile blossom.

As for the soldiers of the Fujian army who died in this battle, more than half of the Zuowuwei infantry who held out in the formation that day were killed, the cavalry led by Xue Li also suffered more than 3,000 casualties, and the two guards of the Western Route Army only had a total of more than 10,000 left, and they were specially set up a camp to take care of.

However, although the price paid for this trip was relatively large, in addition to Xue Li's 20,000 troops, Li Jie fully mobilized 500,000 people to urgently build a gallop road for the army to pass through in the grassland, more than 20 military warehouses and fortresses, and dispatched the main force of the Guanning Iron Cavalry, a total of 50,000 left and right guards, 50,000 government soldiers and infantry, and countless salaries and silver.

However, the harvest is big enough, not to mention the 200,000 nomadic tribes captured, the cattle and sheep plus a piece are almost a million heads, and the greater harvest is that the main state leaders of the Sogdians surnamed Zhaowu are here, which is an unprecedented political wealth, if they are allowed to scatter to the localities, even if the Fujian State dispatches heavy troops and pacifies them for five or six years, they may not be able to subdue these local snakes, and now they are under the surveillance of the Fujian State, whether they are inclined to the Fujian State or the Sogdian leaders who are inclined to the Tang Dynasty, they have to obediently wait for Li Jie's ruling.

Under this mentality, when Li Jieyu drove out of the mountain, the welcome lineup was simply incomparably large.

As many as 3,000 Sogdian girls dressed in costumes, accompanied by the famous Kang Guole song and dance, like blooming flowers in front of the army, colorful petals continue to be thrown on the marching Fujian soldiers on the armor, on the brim of the hat, a good colorful and splendid beautiful scene.

As for the Turks, the Alans and other nomads are not to be outdone, and the beautiful girls who did not take the shot, and more than 20,000 strong men squatting with their upper bodies bare, squatting and dancing wrestling and dancing are also a spectacular scene.

The garrison's camp has already been set up, and even the diligent nomads have built a large grassland palace with wood and cowhide that is not inferior to the general general of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, which can accommodate thousands of people, and is decorated with various totems such as cow bones, and the walls inside are full of gold and silver ornaments, shining in the light of the fire.

At the entrance of the palace, when Li Jie's royal car arrived, the leaders of the major forces in the thousands of rivers, the ministers of the Sogdian state, and the chiefs of the steppe tribes, wearing various national costumes, respectfully prostrated in front of Li Jie's imperial chariot, and bowed neatly in the Tang language, which was not yet very familiar.

"The small country of Fanbang has turned the grass people outside the country to meet the king of kings Shahansha, the son of the gods, and His Majesty the King of Min, the conqueror of the world."

With such a momentum of all nations, even Anna, who was cowering and following behind Li Jie's imperial chariot, couldn't help but be excited, and proudly raised her small chest, how many years, in Byzantium, she was actually against the surrounding barbarians, where is there such a scenery.

On the other hand, Li Rang, who is now making a comeback and once again becoming a rising star in the political arena of Fujian, also stands proudly beside Li Jie, with a large number of tribal chiefs bowing and worshipping below.

Only Li Jie, who was sitting on the throne, still maintained his usual majesty and solemnity.

How many conquests, how many times such a scene has been experienced, it is no longer enough to make Li Jie's excitement on the surface, and he also knows that don't look at these people kneeling respectfully in front of him, there are probably thousands of kinds of careful thoughts in his heart, if he doesn't handle it well at this time, I'm afraid that as soon as he leaves Central Asia, the first one to jump out and play the anti-flag is them.

There was not much excitement, and after making them kneel for a few seconds, Li Jie stood up, shook his sleeves majestically, and said loudly: "Lords and leaders, please get up." ”

"The gift of the king of Fujian, all the lords and leaders of the country, please !!"

The eunuch's sharp voice sounded behind him, and the arrogant voice of the eunuch of Tianzhu, who had always been in charge of transmitting the decree, was repeated, and these unruly leaders of various ethnic groups dared to stand up tremblingly, looking at the tall and mighty guards guarding in front of the King of Min holding the mighty figure of the big lance, and respectfully urging their heads down.

The heavy and penetrating giant bull's horn sounded, and hundreds of guards with cross-sword armor took the lead in rushing into the palace prepared by the grassland people, searching inside and out, and then majestically lined up along the corner of the wall, and then dozens of palace maids lined up in a neat queue to enter first, and arranged two columns to illuminate the way for Li Jie, and the king of Min came down from the imperial chariot and walked quickly inward under the respectful escort of the general of the Janissaries.

Under a series of majestic ceremonies, the authority of the empire was fully revealed, and the leaders of the Fanbang countries who watched it were a little in awe.

It wasn't until the King of Min sat down, with the permission of the eunuchs, that a group of magnates with the surname Zhaowu, the leaders of Alan and Gelulu, and the nobles of other small tribes lined up in two horizontal lines with trembling, and carefully lowered their heads and entered the palace.

Without waiting for some of the reckless grassland chiefs to fall directly into their seats, they grabbed the silver wine glass in a hurry, and the eunuch of Tianzhu, who was standing beside Li Jie, once again raised the dust and screamed sharply.

"The monarchs of all countries, bow to the king of Fujian!"

This is enough to toss, in the grassland, even in the kingdom of the Sogdians, there are not so many ceremonies to swing around, but looking at the Fujian forbidden army wearing black armor and holding the handle of the sword firmly and neatly in his right hand, even the most grumpy grassland chieftain did not dare to have the slightest dissatisfaction, and once again neatly gathered under the aisle, and bowed to Li Jie, who was still wearing armor and revealing his big sleeves and full of majesty.

"Meet Shahansha, King of kings, His Majesty King Min, conqueror of the world!"

This time, even the civil and military officers who accompanied the army bowed to the ground, listening to the praises of various accents, and there were also tame Sogdian lords, steppe chiefs, Li Jie finally showed a satisfied smile.

In the river, from now on, it belongs to the orphan, belongs to the Fujian country, and belongs to China!

Shouting in his heart, Li Jie stood up majestically and waved his sleeves into the distance with great solemnity, shouting vigorously.

"Zhu Qing is flat!"
