Although Chen Yuan is in Zhongjing, the news from Bianjing is still very timely, Wen Yanbo has done a good job in this regard, he knows that he has to coordinate with Chen Yuan's steps in order to make things better. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Just yesterday, Wen Yanbo sent an urgent letter to Chen Yuan, telling him that Zhu Luoguo was in a hurry now, thinking that the war was about to start.

I have some understanding of the surname of Ah San, Ge Chen Yuan, this is a heartless, unbearing, but self-righteous nation. This is nothing, the most important thing is that they don't know that they have nothing, and they always think that they are very rough and big, and dare to provoke those opponents who are stronger than them.

Their so-called ancient civilization is only a flash in the pan in the long river of history, and most of the time they are in a role of being protected by others. The Romans, the Arabs, the Seljuk Turks, and later the British, basically all served as the patron saints of the Asan.

Maybe the name Protector God wasn't used correctly, but Chen Yuan liked the word because it was something he was going to do right away.

Ah San belongs to the kind of people who scream when they don't fight, and they really fight more than anyone else. Chen Yuan didn't dare to expect them to fight the Seljuk Turks to the end. Once they surrendered, the Great Song would lose the best opportunity to march into the Middle East.

Chen Yuan and Di Qing had talked about the decisive battle with the current Seljuk Turks, and the Song Dynasty had already made preparations in this regard. The current Song Dynasty had considerable manpower and material resources, and Wen Yanbo had reached an agreement with the vassal states in Bianjing, and the grain and supplies drawn from various countries were already being transported to the westernmost part of the Uighurs.

The Uighurs were also very supportive of the Song dynasty building a road that would run through the entire Uighurs, which was also a good thing for them.

Of course, all the expenses incurred during this period will have to be paid by the beneficiary country in the future, and this is what was said in the military agreement.

From a purely military point of view, Di Qing is very confident in winning this battle. The Song Dynasty was very conscientious, and the information about the Arab region was constantly transmitted back, which made the Song Dynasty's generals have some understanding of the opponent they were about to face.

In terms of troops, since the Seljuk Turks and Arabs have reached an agreement on coexistence, their army strength is still very strong, and it is initially estimated that they currently have more than 500,000 cavalry, and if the whole country is mobilized, it should be about one million.

The Song Dynasty will send 300,000 troops to this battle, and the Tibetans, Uighurs, Mongols, and the future Khitan country supported by the Song Dynasty will send troops to help.

But Di Qing understands very well that many wars are not simple military operations, Di Qing followed Chen Yuan out of the room, and the two walked side by side on the road, continuing to talk in a low voice: "Shimei, all the military preparations have been made, only the Liao State is left, I don't know how many people we can take away in the end." But it doesn't matter, it is impossible for them to pounce on 800,000 people together, although the Arabs' tactics are very unique, we are sure to deal with them. The biggest problem now is that our battle is too far away from the Great Song Dynasty, and the Uighurs are alien after all, and we cannot but learn the lessons of the battle of General Gao Xianzhi of the Tang Dynasty. ”

The war between the Tang Dynasty and the Arabs was very smooth at the beginning, but due to the betrayal of the vassal states, tens of thousands of Tang troops wanted to retreat. Even so, they dealt a heavy blow to the Arabs, who won the victory at a heavy price, but never dared to go further further.

This is also what all the generals of the Song Dynasty are very worried about now, in the eyes of some sane generals, the Song Dynasty does not have the conditions to expedition to Arabia at all, geographically speaking, the Tang Dynasty operated the Western Regions for many years at that time, and they fought with the Arabs as if they were fighting for the land at their own doorstep.

However, the Song Dynasty was different, even if the Uighurs fully cooperated, there was also a Black Khan Empire in front of the Uighurs, and that Black Khan Empire had always been relatively close to the Arabs, like a roadblock, and it was also a warning vassal state on the eastern front of the Arabs.

What worries them the most is whether the Uighurs are really reliable. They couldn't help but be afraid of following in the footsteps of the Tang Army. It's not that they're afraid of losing, they just don't want to lose like that!

The corner of Chen Yuan's mouth smiled: "Brother Di, do you know why Gao Xianzhi failed?" ”

Di Qing was stunned by Chen Yuan's question, this question is too simple, as long as anyone who knows a little military common sense knows it. The Qarluq mercenaries suddenly mutinied, and they surrounded the Tang infantry from behind and severed their connection with the cavalry, leading directly to the rout of Gao Xianzhi.

Chen Yuan obviously knew that he was going to give this answer, and said with a smile: "Leave the Uighur problem to me, you can fight the war with peace of mind, as long as you can fight the war well, I guarantee that there will be no problems in your back road." ”

Aliens must be used, because they do have some very good talents among them, and as long as they are used well, those people will be loyal to the Han people.

If there were no aliens, it would have been impossible for the Han people of the Tang Dynasty to go so far and compete with the Arabs for Central Asia. By the way, Gao Xianzhi is a native of the Tang Dynasty, his ancestral hometown, the Tang Empire, Goguryeo Province, and a certain city is waiting to be investigated.

Whether it is the Tang Dynasty, which is infinitely longed, or the undeniable hegemon of the 21st century, the United States, they all have a common characteristic, that is, they can accommodate other ethnic groups, and there will certainly be discrimination, but their policies can give people of other ethnic groups the same opportunities as their own residents.

Gao Xianzhi's mistake was that he forcibly launched a decisive battle with the Arabs before the Tang Dynasty's forces were fully in place. In other words, he is fighting the Arab Empire with the power of one finger of the Tang Dynasty! He pressed the Arabs to fight for five days, but because the opponent was too numerous, he was never able to achieve the final victory, and was turned against by the Arabs.

Chen Yuan was very well prepared this time, in Chen Yuan's opinion, the most favorable conditions for the Song Dynasty were that the main forces of the Arabs were now concentrated in the west, and there was also the coercion of those Ah San, and the northeast defense line was very weak, which gave the Song Dynasty the opportunity to raid.

Chen Yuan didn't think about beating the Arabs down all at once, which was a very difficult thing for the Song Dynasty and had to pay heavy casualties. The objectives of his campaign were clear: first, to demonstrate the strength of the Song army to the Arab vassal states, and second, to try to open a door to the Middle East.

Di Qing looked at Chen Yuan and didn't say anything, but his expression was already very clear, it was about the safety of hundreds of thousands of troops, and it was not something that Chen Yuan could make him believe with a single guarantee.

Di Qing has this attitude, not to mention other people. Chen Yuan suddenly stopped: "I can do it if I say it, this time when you fight, I will personally go to the Uighurs." When will you come back and when will I leave. ”

Di Qing relieved his heart, he knew something about Chen Shimei, and knew that this was a lord who was afraid of death, and he was willing to go to the Uighurs, and the Uighurs should be safe.

Laughing awkwardly, Di Qing wanted to hide his suspicions just now: "Shimei, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that the matter is too big, if we succeed this time, the position of our martial artists can continue to rise in the next few decades, but if we are locked up in this place and can't get out, maybe it won't be long before the scholars want us to put away the knife." So I can't help but be extra careful. ”

The warriors needed war, but once the Great Song Dynasty was trapped in East Asia, the surrounding vassal states were basically subjugated, and there were really not many battles to be fought. A small fight will not keep so many troops. Therefore, how the outcome of this war may be related to the luck of the warriors in the future, Di Qing's worries are not unreasonable.

Chen Yuan said very casually: "I know, you can rest assured, tell the generals below, I will pave the road, whether you can go out depends on your own ability." ”

Saying this, Chen Yuan took a deep breath: "Okay, when we settle that guy from Yelu Neghu, we will kill it immediately, and the soldiers will be fast." ”

Yelu Gollum's current situation is quite passive, Chen Yuan didn't use the same method to deal with Li Yuanhao to deal with him, but he found that his ending with Li Yuanhao was becoming more and more similar.

Just like the situation faced by Li Yuanhao before the demise of the party, there were more and more people who rebelled against him, and there were fewer and fewer ministers in the court.

Today, Hou Sun ran away.

Yelu Gollum knew that Hou Sha himself was a spineless person, and when Xiao Tatari was in power, Hou Sha was Xiao Tatar's right-hand man, and later he came back, and Hou Sha abandoned Xiao Tatari without hesitation.

Now when Xiao Suli comes back, Hou Sun's surname is destined that he will not accompany him to stick to his last hope.

He found that he was actually very pitiful, Li Yuanhao finally had a wife who was willing to die with him, but what about his wife? The mother-in-law who had just sat in the position of queen actually persuaded Yelu to surrender yesterday! It made him very sad.

He really wants to find someone to talk to, talk about the grievances, anger, unwillingness, and ambitions that have not been realized and may not be realized in the future.

He's a hero, or at least a hero. But the hero also has lonely times, and he needs someone to listen to him. That mother-in-law can't do it, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are obviously not the object of his complaint.

Even for the troops he once trusted the most, as those generals left one by one, Yerenglu felt that they were no longer reliable. Now they are left, but what about tomorrow? Maybe it's a guest from afar when you go home, or maybe it's a cry from the wife and children at home, and they will disappear without a trace the next day.

Those who are particular about it also leave the troops for themselves, and even write a letter saying that they are sorry for themselves, but those who are not particular not only take the troops away, but also make a big fuss before leaving, so that they can live a good life after they get there.

Yelu Gollum walked on the way to the prison, really, there were many things he didn't understand, there were a lot of things to say, he felt that Zhang Li, who was locked in the prison, might be able to listen to himself.

Isn't it ridiculous? The people in the court are listening to his instructions, he doesn't have three thousand beauties in the harem, but there are still dozens of women, and now he actually thinks of which prisoner he is locked in a cell!

Jermane felt a little unbelievable.
