Chapter 752: Sharp
readx;
Gaochang was the capital of the Uighurs, and it was also the largest city on the route through which the Song army supported the front, where the Song army's supply teams docked for supplies and rest, and from the moment the war began, the gates of Gaochang were no longer closed, and they were open at night to facilitate the entry and exit of those convoys transporting supplies.

The road is not yet fully repaired, and it can only be said that it is much easier to walk than the sand and desert it used to be, barely allowing convoys to pass. Chen Yuan was really choked by the bumps along the way, and Qadir Khan, the Uighur king of Naxi Prefecture, was already waiting for Chen Yuan at the city gate.
The Uighurs attached great importance to this war because it was a matter of interest to them. In addition, the Tang dynasty had the closest relationship between the Uighurs and the Han Chinese in history, and the Uighurs were staunch supporters and followers of the Tang dynasty in both diplomatic and military terms, except for the two imperial courts.
Even later, when the Anshi Rebellion occurred, the Uighurs directly sent troops to help the Tang Dynasty quell the rebellion, which can be said to have made great achievements. Some Uighurs simply joined the Tang army, and they were treated no differently than the Han Chinese soldiers.
With the help of the Tang Dynasty, they became the richest country in the region except for the Tang Dynasty, dominating the Western Regions, which can be said to have achieved a win-win situation in the true sense of the word with the Tang Dynasty.
Now that the Song dynasty had once again extended its hand to the region, it was clear that Qadir Khan was now trying to restore the relationship between the Song dynasty and the Uighurs to the level they had in the Tang dynasty.
"Master Pony!"
As soon as Chen Yuan got off the carriage, he greeted him with a charming smile: "This king has heard the name of the master of the horse for a long time, and he has long wanted to meet the master of the horse, but he has never had the opportunity, and now he can see the dignity, which is enough to comfort his life!" ”
The slightly misplaced internal organs in Chen Yuan's body that had been bumped have not yet recovered, and he hurriedly returned the salute in a trance: "The king is polite, the official is panicked, panicked." ”
This is the advantage of the suzerain, if the Uighur minister sees Renzong, he must kneel down and bow to anything. But Chen Yuan only bowed slightly, and Nakadir Khan hurriedly came over and stretched out his hand to support him: "The master of the horse has been tired all the way, no need to be polite, this king has prepared a little wine in the palace to wash the dust of the master of the horse, here is not as good as Bianjing, and the master of the horse is also invited to include it if it is not thoughtful." ”
Chen Yuan really didn't care what kind of specifications the Uighurs used to entertain him this time, this time he came to complete his last mission, as long as he could ensure that the front line fought well, there was no problem in eating chaff vegetables.
So after a little greeting, Chen Yuan immediately turned the topic to the current situation: "Dare to ask the king, is there any news from the front line?" ”
Kadir Khan smiled: "The master of the horse is so hard for the country, it is really admirable, I think that my Uighurs cannot reach the wealth of the Great Song Dynasty, precisely because there is no minister like the master of the horse." State affairs have to be done, but the body must also rest first. ”
Chen Yuan smiled bitterly: "Thank you for your concern, it's just that this front-line battle situation in my heart really makes it difficult to sleep and eat, if there is any new news, please tell the king." ”
Qadir Khan finally said what information he had received in the past few days. After Bahanna first defected to the Great Song Dynasty, it meant that the Song Dynasty's hand had reached out to Central Asia, and the Arabs were naturally reluctant to let the Song people put their hands at their doorstep, so after the vanguard arrived, on the one hand, they appeased those vassal states and let them know that the Arab Empire was still strong, on the other hand, the strategy of the entire empire began to tilt, and they tried to beat the Song army back when the Song army's foothold was not stable, and the clouds of the war had shrouded the entire Central Asia.
Now everyone's eyes are on Bakhanna, if the Arabs are powerless against Bakhanna's betrayal, then the entire Black Khan Empire is in danger of collapse, and the Song army will reshuffle the cards in this region and completely expel the Arab power.
The Black Khan Empire is still relatively strong in this area. Their old king had just died, and the new king had only taken over power last year, and under the protection of the Arabs, the Black Khan had been recuperating for many years, and had not been troubled by foreign wars, and was the leader of Central Asia in terms of national strength and population. Otherwise, the Uighurs would not have always regarded this country as their enemy.
The attack of the Song army did make their troops retreat continuously, and even reached the verge of collapse, but with the arrival of the Arabs, they seemed to have regained their courage, and those troops that had been fleeing in defeat immediately concentrated, and with the help of the Arabs, they quickly replenished their supplies and regained their sense of battle.
And Di Qing obviously knew that the effect of the raid could only be like this, and what the Song army had to do next was to defeat those Arab armies led by the Seljuk Turks on the battlefield, as long as they were defeated, it would destroy the hope of the Black Khan.
Now both the offensive and the defending sides have set up a fight in Bahanna. At the same time, the pressure on the Chola Kingdom was greatly reduced.
Qadir Khan told Chen Yuan everything he knew, and the two of them sat down in the Uighur palace, and finally Qadir Khan said: "Master Horse, there is something I say that may be suspected of interfering in the affairs of the Song Dynasty, but if I don't say it, this king will be really unhappy in his heart. ”
Chen Yuan smiled: "The king said that it doesn't matter. ”
Qadir Khan said: "This king knows that General Di Qing is a famous general of the Song Dynasty, but this time he fought Black Khan, and his strategic deployment really made this king dare not compliment, the speed is unprecedented, and he has delayed the fighter many times, this king is a little suspicious, does General Di Qing not want to come here to fight?" ”
The implication of his words was to tell Chen Yuan that the allied troops were dissatisfied with Di Qing and asked the Song Dynasty to replace them. Chen Yuan didn't know why Di Qing did this, maybe he was worried about the back road, or maybe he didn't know the future, Kadir Khan would definitely not make something out of nothing.
But in the war, Chen Yuan believed Di Qing. If Di Qing couldn't win this battle, then no one in the Great Song Dynasty would be able to win. He firmly believed that Di Qing had his own reasons for doing this, and no matter what the reason, it must have been carefully considered by Di Qing.
Chen Yun smiled: "King, please rest assured at this point, General Di Qing took the initiative to ask for our holy lord's life, and made a military order, he must go all out." ”
Diplomatic rhetoric. The implication was to tell Kadir Khan that Di Qing was Renzong's personal general, and Chen Yuan could not replace him. Kadir Khan was somewhat disappointed, but the mood passed immediately, seeing that the entourage had already brought the wine and food, and clapped his hands at the moment, the entire palace suddenly resounded with the charming sound of the Western Regions, in this batch of music, a tall Uighur girl stepped on the node of the music and floated over, the clothes on her body were as thin as cicada wings, Chen Yuan could even clearly see her slender legs.
The girl's eyes sparkled like jewels, and the fullness of her chest told Chen Yuan her contents, and she often passed by Chen Yuan when she danced, and the silk veil on her body sometimes swept over Chen Yuan's face as if inadvertently.
The chopsticks in Chen Yuan's hand were slowly lowered, his eyes staring at this girl, he knew that this must be a gift from the Uighur king.
Bianjing, Chen Yuan has just left for a few days, probably feeling that Fan Chunyou has calmed down recently, and Wen Yanbo transferred the commander surnamed Yang back.
He didn't know how much the commander knew, but since he had something to do with Chen Yuan, Wen Yanbo felt that it would be somewhat unreasonable to keep him outside. And Commander Yang had no idea that he was walking back and forth in a whirlpool that could engulf a small Commander in an instant.
He was a little depressed about being transferred, and was very happy to be back immediately, and before he entered the door of his house, he began to sing a little song in his mouth, and after pushing open the door, he shouted: "Lady, I'm back!" ”
Shen Rui ran out of the room and threw herself into the arms of the commander, Commander Yang was quite strong, and hugged her a few times: "Haha, I haven't seen you for a while, my lady is a little lighter, do you miss your husband?" ”
Shen Rui smiled, looking so debauched: "Yes!" Naturally, I thought about it, I couldn't eat during the day, and I couldn't sleep at night. ”
A woman like her will only be debauched in front of the man she likes, just like she used to be in front of Chen Yuan. Shen Rui knew that Chen Yuan was leaving, and she also knew that once Chen Yuan left, those people would not stare at Chen Yuan, let alone anyone to disturb her life.
In fact, if she wants to be safe, she can fly away like Lao Fourteen, but she knows that she can't bear this man. This man has no skills, but he respects Shen Rui enough and never mentions Shen Rui's past. Shen Rui knew that he could accompany him to old age.
And this man is good-looking, although he sometimes takes money from Shen Rui's drawer to spend, but he just takes some pocket money when he really has no money. He will pay it back as soon as he gets it next month. really can't come up yet, and always makes up an excuse to deceive Shen Rui, saying that his colleague has something to do at home and has lent money to others.
Shen Rui has never dismantled his lies, the men of the Song Dynasty are very domineering, and if they were other men, they would have confiscated all Shen Rui's money, because in their opinion, women are their own, and women's money is naturally their own.
Shen Rui took the initiative to say several times that he wanted to hand over his family to him, but he didn't want to. Shen Rui knew that this was because he wanted to maintain his little self-esteem. It is impossible for a man like this to live the kind of life that depends on a woman to support him.
Moreover, Commander Yang is usually lavish, not a material for trading. Although he has strength, he is not willing to work like a coolie. So even though he knew that it might be dangerous to stay, Shen Rui was still willing to stay for him.
Commander Yang was obviously panicked for a while, kissed Shen Rui on the face, and then closed the door with his foot: "My husband is going to feed you goblin today!" ”
Shen Rui let out a seductive smile, and Commander Yang walked towards the house with Shen Rui in his arms.
It wasn't until an hour later, when the passion of the long-lost absence, was extinguished, that he remembered that he had to go back to the barracks to report to Shangguan, and hurriedly got dressed. Before leaving, he also said: "Lady, these people eat and drink too much outside, and there is no silver on their bodies, and now they are back to the camp, those brothers have to slaughter me, and ask the lady to borrow some silver for self-defense." ”
Shen Rui lay lazily on the bed, her eyes hung with the confusion of a woman's satisfaction: "There is it in the drawer, you can take it yourself." ”
Commander Yang responded, opened the drawer and saw that Shen Rui's bank small amount of silver bills, large amount stubs, and some trivial silver were all placed there, and he took more than ten taels and put them in his arms: "I will return it to you after a few days." ”
After saying that, he went out in a hurry. Commander Yang said that he didn't like to gamble, but he was very addicted to drinking, and this time he saw his former brother, and he had to have a few drinks at that time.
was walking towards the barracks, and a figure in front of him blocked his way, and Commander Yang didn't care, and gave way to the side, but the figure flickered and blocked him again. Immediately a little annoyed, he raised his eyes to look at the man and scolded: "Things that don't have long eyes, dare to be your uncle's way, it's tired and crooked, right?" ”
The man was very short, until his chest, Commander Yang took back the fist that had been swung out, and the other party's size was considered a disabled person in his opinion, and this punch would inevitably be suspected of bullying.
"Commander Yang who has just returned to Beijing?"
