Chapter XXXVII

Thousands of Anxi troops rode lightly, galloping westward along the road from Humbo to the city of Zabutana.

I have to say that although the big cannibals are greedy and brutal, they do some good things in the river. For example, great attention has been paid to the development of agricultural production, the construction of water conservancy, and the reclamation of wasteland, so that many barren and barren lands in the river have been turned into fertile fields, fertile fields for thousands of miles, and abundant products.

Another example is road building.

From these two points alone, Da Shi is a thousand times better than Datang. Every time Datang lays down a place, except for the other party to show submission, he almost does nothing, and it is basically in a free-range state.

The Tang Dynasty wiped out the Eastern Turks one hundred and twenty years ago, however, due to the Tang Dynasty's policy of restraint, they rebelled a few decades later, and it was not until ten years ago that they were pacified. In the meantime, it seriously threatened the frontier security of the Tang Dynasty and consumed a lot of national and material resources of the Tang Dynasty. Until now, the land occupied by the Eastern Turks still does not belong to the Tang Dynasty. Instead, it was occupied by a khanate called the Uighurs. Except for a few Turkic generals, most of the Turks were still not used by the Tang Dynasty!

And every place where Dashi is laid down, it takes a lot of effort to manage it. This is true in Khorasan, and it is also true in the river. Khorasan was conquered a hundred years ago by the Great Eclipse. A hundred years later, almost all of the Persians in Khorasan converted to Huda, and the Persians in Khorasan became the backbone of the establishment of the Abbasid dynasty, and Khorasan had been completely integrated into the Great Eclipse and became a part of the Great Eclipse.

In the same way, after occupying the land in the river, the Great Eclipse is also preparing to turn the river into a second Khorasan. The water conservancy is built so that their children and grandchildren can live a better life here; On the one hand, the road was built to facilitate the caravan to walk, and on the other hand, it was also to better rule the river, and if there was a rebellion, troops could be sent to suppress it more quickly.

In addition to building roads, the Great Cannibals also built a large number of walls in the river, and set up a large number of military stations and forts in various villages and towns. These measures, on the one hand, strengthened the rule of the Great Eclipse, and on the other hand, they were to defend against the attacks of the Turkic and Turkic nomads.

Of course, it has only been ten years since the last time the Great Eclipse occupied the river, and many forts and military stations have not yet been built, especially east of Samat. On the walls of such a few fortresses, there are large cannibals who have not yet had time to move. One by one, they watched in amazement as the thousands of Anxi light horsemen roared past their fortress.

Duan Xiushi and Bai Xiaode, as well as a few Ning Yuanguo as guides, rode their horses and ran at the front of the team, and after a long distance, Duan Xiushi ordered to rest in place for a while. Officers of all ranks, and colonels were summoned to him to listen to orders.

Duan Xiushi looked at a few Ning Yuanguo guides and asked, "Two hundred miles along the road, thirty miles deep on the left and right, how many fortresses like just now?" ”

Several Tuojie thought for a moment: "There are about ten more, and there are only twenty or thirty people in each fortress. ”

Duan Xiushi asked again: "How many cities, villages and towns along the way have no walls and live in big cannibals?" ”

"There are a lot of them!"

Duan Xiushi waved his horsewhip and pointed in the direction of the west: "Bai Xiaode, now there is an order, you lead five hundred light horsemen, all the way to the west, and go to meet Captain Xiao and them." If you encounter a fortress like the one just now, bypass it; In the event of a large army, they will return; Attack in case of a roadblock. ”

Bai Xiaode is a descendant of the Bai clan of the Qiuci royal family, and when he was a teenager, Bai Xiaode often played by the camp of the Qiuci army, and was deeply influenced by the border soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. Later, he joined the Anxi Army and was promoted to a junior officer, and this time he was also named and went to Hezhong with Gao Xianzhi.

He was very young, only in his twenties, his face was full of spirit, and when he heard Duan Xiushi call his name, he was about to jump up excitedly, he made a salute and said loudly: "The last general will take the order." ”

Duan Xiushi frowned, looked at the young man in front of him, and said solemnly: "Your task is the heaviest, don't fight in vain, take Captain Xiao as the first priority." If you see Captain Xiao, you will all obey his command. Let's go. ”

Bai Xiaode sang a song and headed west along the main road with five hundred elite light horses.

Watching the five hundred horsemen gradually move away, Duan Xiushi turned around and said loudly: "The rest all follow Yu Mou, sweeping the villages, towns and cities along the way." Seeing that the black-clothed cannibal is unforgiving, if the people of the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu do not resist, they are not allowed to hurt, and if there is a white-clothed eater, bring it to see so. To reiterate, you are only allowed to plunder the black-clothed eaters, and tell you that the people of the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu that you have seen are here to help them drive away the big cannibals! ”

A group of Anxi lieutenants responded to the order, and their eyes were shining, although they could only grab the black-clothed food, they all knew that the wealth possessed by the black-clothed food was enough for them to make a lot of money.

Duan Xiushi was preparing to rob with thousands of Anxi light horses, but at this time, Gao Xianzhi and the others had already robbed a lot of money in Hushu City.

Due to various reasons, there were hardly many people running out of Hushu City. The wealth of the entire city was completely presented in front of Gao Xianzhi and An Xijun, and they were left to what they wanted.

After the Anxi army entered the city, they immediately seized the weapons of the 8,000 soldiers of Siba Khan, escorted them into the barracks, and sent heavy guards to guard them. After the Ansi army took over the city, they ordered all the Sibakhans to stay at home and not leave the house.

Gao Xianzhi looked at the few Dehegan who were prostrate at his feet, and his voice was cold: "King Xiba Khana colluded with Shi Guo and Huang Tuqi Shi to murder a certain life, and a certain will kill his entire family." After his death, so-and-so needed a city guard in Sibal Khan, and who of you would like to help so-and-so? ”

Several Dehegan, who were the first to surrender, raised their heads and looked at each other, one of them, who was about fifty years old, white and fat, and said in fear: "He Ningfen is willing to be your most faithful servant......

"Okay, that's you." Gao Xianzhi didn't wait for him to finish speaking, he didn't want to spend too much time on this matter, this was just temporary, and it would still have to be handed over to Ning Yuanguo to take care of when the time came, "The army needs military salaries when it goes out." Now you take this general and go from house to house, and all the treasury, and all the riches of the other Dehgans and all the rich merchants, must be handed over. If it is found that there is concealment or underpayment, it will be made up from your home. ”

Under the leadership of He Ningfen, the leading party, the rich people in Huboring City have suffered now. Whether it is gold and silver coins, jewelry and jade, or all kinds of valuable goods, even some furniture and decorations, children's toys, everything of value has been searched from the house. Before noon, dozens of camels were loaded with gold and silver coins and jewels such as seses, jade, agate, and pearls. The wealth of the Sogdians can be seen.

Gao Xianzhi arranged these, took Li Siye and others, and escorted the prince of Xiba Khanna, Fu Diyan, straight to the palace. He wanted to know more about the Serpent's Tooth from King Misabao of Sibakhana.

Misabao was lying on the bed waiting for death at this time, his concubines and concubines had long been controlled by Gao Xianzhi's personal guards, and the fate of waiting for them was also conceivable. Gao Xianzhi walked up to Misabao and said word by word: "If you don't want your son to die, tell me the secret about the snake fang." ”
