More than ten days have passed, and Ma Lan already has a complete plan for the construction of the new city in his hands.

The name of this new city will naturally not be Ximi City, but Dingxi City. The design of the city has a strong Central Plains urban style, and the moat of the horse face of the urn city is indispensable, but it is also mixed with the castle elements required by Ma Lan, and the city wall is divided into zigzag small sections, on which the place of the cannon is reserved.

In the future, this city will become the center of the delta zone in the lower reaches of the Wuhu River and even on the shore of the Aral Sea, and become the strongest fortress of the Han family in this region.

Gao Qianqian recently wrote to Ma Lu that Master Li Xiu had completed the finalization of the two cannons, but due to the high cost, production had not yet begun. If you don't produce now, it doesn't mean you won't produce in the future, and for Hermes-Epitek's cities in the middle of the river, it will inevitably have to be defended with a large number of cannons and fortresses in the future.

The Anxi New Army now has an advantage over the enemies it may encounter, and it does not need bulky equipment such as artillery, which will only affect the speed of maneuver of the Anxi New Army. However, using artillery to defend the various cities occupied by the Han people was an excellent choice.

After more than ten days, the Turks had almost destroyed the Huoxun people near the city of Huliximi, and there were scattered Huoxun villages far away from the city of Huliximi, which were not in Ma Lu's plan.

What is important is the villages and towns on both sides of the Wuhu River, which is where the Han people will live in the future. And those remote places are left for the remnants of the Huoxun people, the Huoxun country no longer exists, they are ordinary Sogdians with the surname of the nine, and it is impossible for them to pose any threat to the Han people.

The Turkic miscellaneous soldiers completed the task, and by the way, they also earned a lot of brains, and they were extremely happy. With Ma Luan's order, the army marched again, sweeping downstream along the Wuhu River.

……

The Aral Sea is the fourth largest lake in the world, and its water mainly comes from two large rivers, Wuhu Water and Yaozhi Water. The Wuhu water was called the Amu Darya River in later generations, and the medicine killing water was called the Syr Darya River in later generations, and it flowed into the Aral Sea from the north and south directions respectively.

The western shore of the Aral Sea is steep, with winding fjords and islets to the north, and only the Amu Darya Delta on the south bank is the flattest and most fertile. In this era, the lower reaches of the Amu Darya River and the entire estuary delta were the site of fire seekers.

The Huoxun people belonged to one of the nine surnames of Zhaowu, and were built on the oasis of the city of Merchant Xi Mi instead of the fertile estuary delta, because they were profit-seeking people like the other Sogdians, although the estuary delta was fertile but not above the trade route, and the city of the merchant Xi Mi, although in the desert, was located at the key point of the trade route.

Hermes-Epitek and Sogdians were completely different, and wherever they went, they loved the fertile land the most. Therefore, for Ma Lan, the fertile Amu Darya Delta is of greater value, because it is the most suitable area for the survival and reproduction of Han people.

When the Han people completely occupied the Amu Darya Delta area, basically all the descendants of the Han family were occupied from the Penchi River in the upper reaches of the Wuhu River to the mouth of the Wuhu River that flows into the Aral Sea.

……

The Han people themselves have an advanced culture, so it is impossible to accept Islamic civilization wherever they go, which is completely different from the steppe tribes in the north. The Turks themselves have nothing to boast of in their own civilization, and they will soon become part of the Islamic world in the midst of their conflict with the Islamic world.

In addition to the original history, within a few decades after the Battle of Talas, the Hanaka region was basically completely Islamized and became part of the Hu world. Then came the Turks further north, who won many victories in their conflicts with the Great Cannibals, but slowly became mercenaries of the Great Cannibals, abandoning ancient shamanism and becoming devout Muslims.

Naturally, the Great Food Empire paid its price, as it was not long before the Turkic mercenaries deposed the caliphate in Baghdad and eventually became the Sultan and the ruler of the Islamic world. However, the Islamic civilization completely enveloped the entire Central Asian region, and even gradually spread to the east of the Green Mountains, extending to the vast area covered by the Han civilization.

The conflict between the Tang Dynasty and the Great Food is, in the final analysis, a conflict between two advanced civilizations, a war in which civilization can take the initiative in the vast region of Central Asia and West Asia. And now that the Datang Iron Cavalry has advanced to the south bank of the Aral Sea, if a barrier has been built on the entire Wuhu River line, it will undoubtedly take the lead in this invisible battle.

As long as the Han people held this line, it would be impossible for the Hanmin region to be Islamized, the Ferghana Basin, the Seven River Basin, the Talas River Basin, and the Chu River area further north would be impossible to be greened, and the Anxi region east of the Green Mountains would not be able to become a Muslim world.

Hold this line, and the three surnames of Gelulu, who now have an advantage west of Jinshan, will not become Hu Da's followers. Similarly, no matter what fate the current overlord of Mobei will be, the Hui people, will not become a member of the Hu world.

That's what Ma has been aiming for all along, and now his plan is actually close to being realized.

Although the Central and West Asian regions were fragmented in later generations, the entire region was basically Islamic countries, with only two exceptions, among which the existence of Israel can be said to be a miracle, and Cyprus was only an Asian country in the geographical sense. With the exception of these two countries, Central and West Asia are all the worlds of Hu Da's followers.

Although the Great Food Empire eventually collapsed, the Islamic civilization enveloped the region, and even invaded to the west of the Green Mountains, gaining an advantage in a large area to the west of the moraine, which brought great trouble to later generations of China.

And now, the iron cavalry of the Tang Dynasty stepped into the river, turning the entire Wuhu River basin into the Han family's world, and if a strict barrier was established along the Wuhu River line.

The pride of the Han family is engraved in the blood, no Han family will accept the teachings of Hu Da, as long as the Han people continue to live in this area, then the world of Hu Da will be at least blocked on the other side of the Wuhu River, and the land of Anxi to the east of the Green Mountain will always be the world of the Han family.

"Who knows that after the stone rots and the mountains are dry, the unique remnant monument remembers the Han and Tang Dynasties", the land of the Western Regions is fully greened, and the Han family is covered in dust and gravel, such a historical tragedy will no longer exist.

Ma Lin didn't know how long he would be able to preside over the river, and if he had enough time, this line of defense could naturally be moved further west, but in the uncertain future, the establishment of this barrier was of special significance to him.

……

The city is located in the lower reaches of the Wuhu River, only a few hundred miles from the delta of the estuary. The army slowly swept along the Wuhu River, clearing the Sogdian villages and towns near the Wuhu River, and laying the ground for the future Han people to rely on it, and after a dozen days, they had set foot in the fertile Amu Darya Delta region.

Standing on the edge of the Aral Sea, looking at the boundless lake in front of him, Ma Lu took a deep breath and felt relaxed.

The Aral Sea of this era was not the Aral Sea of later generations, the delta was full of forests and swamps, and the entire Turan Plain was a real blessing on earth.

This place is close to the edge of the Turan lowlands. When the soldiers first went out of the green mountain, the first goal set for themselves was already initially achieved.

The Anxi Iron Army no longer has a decent opponent on the Turan Plain, and the fertile land in this area is completely what the Tang Dynasty wants. As long as the Han people took root in one place, the Han civilization would slowly become the mainstream on the Turan Plain.

The shame of the Battle of Talas has been slowly erased by successive victories. In the future, the territory of the Tang Empire will be unprecedentedly large.

The smoke and waves were vast and boundless, and the young soldiers rarely saw such a spectacle, and they galloped on the shore of the Aral Sea, one by one, looking extremely excited. Niu Xu, who had recovered from his injuries, was the most excited, riding on his war horse and shouting, without the appearance of a general from the fourth rank at all.

It's no wonder that he came to Anxi for a short time, and he has never seen such a good scenery as Puchang Hai Atami, and the biggest water surface he has seen in his life is Qujiang Pond, after all, he is only a weak-crowned boy, and he is naturally extremely happy to see this boundless water surface at this time.

"Great! Great! Fang Wenwen sat on horseback, his long beard fluttering, and laughed loudly, "In the past, Su Ding Fangping Ashina Helu Rebellion was victorious, and there were 'repair pavilion barriers, columns and tunnels, Dingjiang Banner, ask questions and collect the disease, Tang Zhizhou County is in the extreme west of the sea!" 'The words, when the weak crown reads it, almost want to shoot the case, since Guanzhong thousands of miles from the army Anxi, this is the reason. General, this place should be the West Sea, the text thought that he would never have the opportunity to see it in his life, but he didn't expect that there would be a day on the shore of the West Sea! ”

Ma Ling smiled and nodded: "This place is the so-called West Sea of Su Dingfang's rebellion. Mr. has been in Anxi for a long time, but he never knew that Mr. was Anxi who came like this, and his youthful spirit was dry, but it made a certain family admire. ”

Fang Wenwen said with a smile: "Being able to be here right away has also fulfilled my life's wish." I heard that the general sighed in his heart after reading "The Biography of Ma Yuan", he joined the army with a sword in Anxi, isn't he also a teenager? Ha ha! ”

Ma Lan also smiled. What read "The Biography of Ma Yuan" to join the army, it was just the public opinion created by Li Kun's kid in Chang'an, in order to put gold on his face. When he first came to Anxi, it was just because of some things that happened between him and Kang Xiaoyu, which had nothing to do with "The Legend of Ma Yuan".

Fang Wenwen pointed to the fertile land on the shore of the lake and smiled: "The royal paradise is nothing more than that. General, I have been in Moxi for more than 20 years, and I have never seen such a scene. This place is the land of the Tang Dynasty, and it is a pity to let those profit-seeking people occupy it. There are tens of thousands of people in the Tang Dynasty here, and they can rely on this land forever and reproduce from generation to generation. ”

Ma Ling nodded and said, "What Mr. said is very true. However, it is easy to expel the nine surnamed Sogdians, but it is difficult for tens of thousands of people in the Tang Dynasty, Anxi Road is far away, the road is dangerous, where do tens of thousands of people in the Tang Dynasty come from? I don't want to see the tragic scene of immigration last year, and without the Han people occupying this place, it will be useless for me to wait for today's affairs. ”
