Most of these people are from the Fergana Basin, and some are Turkic tribes from the Land of Ten Arrows, they are equivalent to the nature of mercenaries, and then they are fighting a tailwind battle, which is the same nature as those Turks led by Qibiye on the side of Wannian City.

The Turks did not dare to compliment their combat strength, that was in the face of the Tang Army, and in the face of the Oghuz tribe of the same clan, they were still worthy of a battle.

Of course, Ma Lu's request to them is to fight a good fight, and it does not require them to fight to the death - these mercenaries can't do that.

They fought with the Tang army, and the benefits were great, and the Kangju people were extremely trustworthy, and after purchasing their booty, they were full of wealth, and if they wanted to bring the wealth back to the tribe, they didn't even have to pay a little fee, and the Kangju merchants could do this well. The situation of many Turks who participated in the war was greatly improved, which attracted a large number of Turkic warriors to come to capture and serve the Tang army.

The Turks did not have any idea of brotherhood towards their fellow Oghuz, so there was no need to worry about them rebelling.

The army was accompanied by a large number of Kangju caravans, who were responsible for providing basic supplies for the army.

At the same time that Ma Yong and Ma Qiang left the fishing city with a large army and headed for the Aral Sea Delta, a scribe named Pei Xuan also left the fishing city with dozens of personal soldiers and headed towards the distant Xiaye River.

Pei Xuan was also born in the Pei family in Shuzhong, and he was a prisoner in the distribution river. At the beginning, Yang Guozhong was offended by the assassination of An Lushan, and Yang Guozhong's party collapsed, and some Yang Guozhong's party members fell to the ground. There are also some ministers who are mixed with the people of the Eighth Army in the river and are sent to the river, this Pei Xuan. is one of them.

Pei Xuannai has real skills, and in the past two years, he has helped Fang Wenwen to do things in Capture and Drink City, and he has also emerged. This time, Pei Xuan went to the Broken Leaf River, and his identity was the Broken Leaf City Builder, and his task was to rebuild the Broken Leaf City at the eastern end of the Broken Leaf River. This is what Ma Lan promised Wang Zhengjian at the beginning, and now it is time to realize it.

Pei Xuan not only went to Broken Leaf to build a city to prepare for the reopening of Broken Leaf Town, but also brought Ma Xuan's order to the leader of Gelulu, Assassin Tengdu.

The Turkic tribes who plotted to assassinate Teng Du now dominate the land of ten arrows. The strength is quite strong, and he behaved deferentially to Datang, and Ma Ling ordered him to move his tooth tent within a hundred miles of Broken Leaf City. Giving up all the land of Broken Leaf City to Datang, he has already done this, and the tooth tent has already left Kadan Mountain. Ma Lan saw that he was stabbing and respectful, so he had no intention of conquering him. This time he was ordered to send 20,000 troops. Attack westward from the Broken Leaf River, and cooperate with Ma Yong Ma Qiang to sweep away the scattered Oghuz tribes.

The third surname Ge Lulu is used to riding the wall, but now there is no possibility of riding the wall, so he can only fall to the Tang Dynasty. He understands this, so he will definitely accept the order. The addition of the three elite cavalry surnamed Qarluq will also help the new army of Anxi, and the speed of sweeping the north and west of the Aral Sea to the north shore of the Caspian Sea will be faster.

The reopening of Broken Leaf Town is also a big deal, after Pei Xuan arrives at Broken Leaf River. On the side of the Beiting Army, 30,000 athletes will march westward from the grassland at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, crossing the Cheling Mountains and entering the Yili River Valley. Then go to the old site of Broken Leaf City to meet Pei Xuan. When the construction of the Broken Leaf City is completed, the Broken Leaf Military Town will be reopened, which can be regarded as the fulfillment of Wang Zhengjian's long-cherished wish of the old general, and of course, it is also Ma Lan's own long-cherished wish.

……

The initial construction of the Majia workshop had already been completed, and after a large number of craftsmen came here, with the efforts of Gao Qianqian and Li Xiu, the official production soon began.

Iron ore from the Hindu Kush (Tocharo) was transported here in a steady stream, converted into pig iron or steel, and then cast into various ordnance. All kinds of other materials are produced in different parts of the river and in Khorasan, which are sufficient for the daily production of the workshop.

Being able to produce ordnance here reduces the pain of long-distance transportation and saves a lot of money. This will be of great benefit to the next expansion of the new army in Anxi.

Of course, the workshop has just started production, so it is naturally not enough to supply the army, but this year's sweeping of the food is a given thing, and the transportation of ordnance to this side has not been interrupted when the northern expedition returns to Hui, and it is even more fully supplied after the sweep and return to Hui, and now all kinds of ordnance in the treasury in the city are piled up, which is enough to support the use of one or two years.

The Ma family workshop is on the right track, and Ma Lan is relieved. Ten days after the Ma Yong and Ma Qiang brothers left the city, the remaining Anxi new army left the city and headed towards the south.

Gao Qianqian stayed after she arrived here, and she had to worry about the affairs of the workshop, Li Xiu was good at skills, and she couldn't compare with her in management. Kang Lin'er and Ma Chen naturally stayed in the city, while Yang Youniang followed Ma Lan and would participate in this expedition.

To the south of the fishing city, the three military towns of the Eighth Army in the river are lined up, the nearest to the fishing and drinking is the Xinping army, the Yanchuan army and the Lantian army look at each other across the Wuhu water, and the Lantian army is the farthest area where the Han people live today.

The Xinping Army is the place where the Martyrs' Shrine is located, and in the years since the completion of the Martyrs' Shrine, the losses of the Anxi New Army are not large, but there are more than 3,000 names on the Martyrs' Shrine. There are only a few hundred of them who belong to the new army athletes, and some of them are Han people who died of natural causes, but more than half of them were added after the attack on Xihai City last winter.

After arriving here, the army naturally stopped to pay respects.

The losses of the soldiers of the New Army were very few, even fewer of them were killed in battle, and most of the losses were due to disease, and such losses were inevitable in this era; Since Hermes-Epitek has taken root here to survive, there will come a time when it will return to dust; And the Han people who died in the attack on Xihai City ...... This is unacceptable, but the act of revenge has already begun, and the Oghuz will pay tenfold, a hundredfold for their recklessness.

After the Xinping Army, it was the Yanchuan Army. Since the territory of the Yanchuan army crossed the Wuhu River, it arrived at the garrison of the Lantian army, which penetrated deep into the territory of Khorasan.

The military envoy of Lantian is Du Fu, and Du Yu Hou is Pei Yan of the Pei family in Shu. The territory of the Lantian Army was extremely extensive, not only in the oasis on the south bank of Wuhu Shui, but also in a large area between Wuhu Water and Mulu City, the capital of Khorasan.

At the beginning, the Persian tribes in this area followed the governor of Khorasan to fight against the Tang Dynasty, and the two sides fought a big battle on the edge of the Wuhu River, and the regular army of Khorasan was completely annihilated, and the Persian tribal soldiers were basically buried here. Later, in order to take revenge on these Persian tribes who participated in the war, Ma Ling ordered the Khi Ye to sweep all the Persian tribes participating in the war with Turkic miscellaneous soldiers, and directly turned all the villages into a blank field. Today, these places are still ghostly, with fertile farmland abandoned and villages in ruins.

These lands were all allocated to Du Fu's Lantian Army. However, the Lantian army has a limited number of mouths, so there is not much land that can really be occupied, and many Persian villages are still in a state of abandonment. The Persians did not dare to occupy these lands, and the previous killings had terrified them, and no one dared to move to these barren villages.

Compared with the last time they passed here, the Lantian Army has also changed greatly. With Pei Yan's assistance, Du Fu has also made a lot of achievements. In the past, the bachelor of Jixian Palace, who was worried about the country and the people, now has a smile on his face.

"Xu Hun is wet, Du Fu is sad all his life", Du Fu's face in the past often had a sad look. Now that history has changed, tragic songs such as "Three Officials" and "Three Farewells" will no longer appear, and Datang has one less tragic poet, but one more cadre.

Du Fu's family has been brought here by him. Looking at it like this, he wanted to put down roots here. His treatment is extremely generous, enough to make the family have enough food and clothing, "Panfang City is far from tasteless, and the bottle restaurant is poor and old", such a hard life will never appear again.

Pei Yan also took his family over. He has the identity of the Pei family in Shuzhong, not only is he the capital of the Lantian Army, but also responsible for the Pei family's business here. Among the Han merchants, only the Pei family expanded their business to the south of Wuhu Water, and the other big businessmen were still waiting.

However, when the Tang Dynasty completely conquered Dashi, more Han merchants would participate. Capital is inherently adventurous, and Han Chinese businessmen are no exception.

At the end of May, the army reached Mulu, the capital of Khorasan.

When they arrived, the local Dekhgans came to pay their respects and ask for permission to participate in the logistics of the army in order to get a piece of the pie.

Mulu City has been under the Tang Dynasty for several years, and the Dehegans here are quite deferential, and the tax collectors are all paid every year. This is true of the entire province of Khorasan, which has been deeply branded by the Tang Dynasty, and with the support of the Tang Dynasty, the Dekhgans ruled the local people and established a new political ecology.

It is impossible for Hermes-Epitek to move so far in a short period of time, so this form of rule is the best choice at the moment. The Dekhgan nobles did not care about their beliefs, but were born wall-riders, and most of them had always been devout Mawari, and their belief in Ahura was very average. They are the most knowledgeable and cultivated people in this land, and such people are not easily seduced by religion. They were the owners of this land before the Zoroastrianism was founded, and Zoroastrianism only appeared later, and as for the belief in Hu Da, it appeared much later, which is too short compared to the history of their family.

Regarding the request of the Dehegans of Mulu City, Ma Lu also agreed. Mulu is the capital of the province of Khorasan, and the local Dehegans have extremely strong financial resources, so it was the previous plan to involve them in logistics matters. Relying solely on Kangju merchants to do this, Kangju merchants' financial resources are not enough.

Mulu City turned to the southwest, and soon arrived at the ancient city of Youshabul. After arriving here, the Dekhgans of Shabuer and the Dekhgans of the ancient city of Herat, hundreds of miles away, also asked to join. For their request, Ma Lu also directly agreed. (To be continued......)
