Zhang Mai and Guo Luo Yang Yi returned to meet Yang Dingbang, it turned out that Yang Sanggan went south for more than 20 miles, suddenly saw a Biao light cavalry slowly driving at a normal marching speed, the number was about more than 1,000, Yang Sanggan ordered the prisoners of the army to identify, recognized that it was the banner of the general Rick under the command of Bogra Khan, so he ordered the two teams of men and horses to haunt between the mountains and forests, raise dust, and wave the banner of the word "Tang" in the high place, the Biao cavalry stopped after seeing it, and after a while instead of continuing to advance, but retreated, Yang Sanggan had few people, and did not dare to stay for a long time, leading the troops back.

After Yang Yi tortured the Hui captives, the news he got did not go beyond what those Tuqi herdsmen had already told him, Yang Yi said: "The Hui people are afraid of being beaten by us!" It is better for us to continue southward, rush to the village, and if we win the battle, we will chase after the defeated army, and go down the river of Broken Leaves to the lower reaches of Barasagon to wreak havoc, and if we cannot defeat it, it will not be too late to run. ”

Yang Dingbang is more serious, thinking that the Tang army's two victories are strange, and now the two teams of Leopard Tao and Guo Yang are only 400 people, and the frontal impact may not be able to win the Hui light cavalry from the south, and said: "Ba Ra Sagon is the nest of the Hui people, and I am afraid that I will not be able to please him." Once we're encircled, we're done. The Uighurs had tens of thousands of cavalry at least tens of thousands of cavalry, and there might be hundreds of thousands. If Arslan had launched a great gathering of the ministries, the number of people in control might reach 200,000. ”

More than 100,000 or 200,000 troops stopped in front of them, and if they collided hard, it was simply like an egg hitting a stone, and there was no chance of winning at all.

Only by understanding this situation can we understand why the soldiers and civilians of the four towns did not return to the east, but were forced to move westward step by step. In many cases, actions do not follow the goal and have to be subordinated to reality.

Guo Luo also objected to going to Barasagon because although it was the political and military center of the Qarakhanid Dynasty, it was not the only way to return to the east: "It is absolutely impossible to go east, let's go south, Shule is our goal." ”

Guo Luo and Yang Yi are still only the team, but they are the leaders of the younger generation, and they are very active, and Yang Dingbang can't ignore their opinions. In comparison, Yang Duwei thinks it is difficult to take the north road or the south road? "Although he has obtained a lot of information from everyone after leaving New Broken Leaf City, this information is both numerous and miscellaneous, and it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, so I want to hear what Yang Dingbang, who is more familiar with the situation in the Western Regions, makes a judgment on the choice of the road back to the east.

"This ......" Yang Dingbang pondered for a moment and said: "If you say that you have to go to the north road, you either have to have a hard encounter with the Hui people, or you have to be the Great Khan of the Hui Arslan who promised to let us go, and we don't know the situation on the south road accurately, but we know that the shape there is complicated, and all kinds of forces are intertwined, and it is not so easy to walk." ”

"But the problem is that if we go through the Yili River Valley, even if we break through the defensive line of the Hui people, the Tianshan North Road to the east of the Yili River Valley is still the territory of the Hui people. The future is uncertain and uncertain. And Shule's side used to be the Khotanese Buddha country. According to the information obtained by the Tang army, Yu Khotan's pro-Tang surname Wei Chi had expelled the Tubo people to rebuild the vassal state, and after the restoration of the country, he still regarded himself as a vassal of the Tang Dynasty. More than ten years ago, the new Broken Leaf City also received indirect news from the merchants of Kulan City, saying that the lord of the Khotanese Buddha Kingdom was actively contacting the Central Plains to the east on the one hand, hoping to reopen the Silk Road, and at the same time intended to establish contact with the old Tang army in Anxi, but it was too far away and to no avail.

"In other words, as long as we get to Shule, it is possible to get a strong reinforcement."

Zhang Mai spread out the map and said, "If we want to go east, then we can hide in the desert for a while, and when Bogra Khan and the Fire Finders find us on the north bank of the Broken Leaf River and disperse, we will return to our hometown and try to go east." However, the Hui people have built a guard tower along the Broken Leaf River, and it seems that they have begun to be on strict guard against us, and our troops are inferior to them, and if we fight hard, there is really no chance of victory. After this incident, I absolutely do not want to believe that the Hui people will negotiate peace with us and let us go. According to Uncle Yang, various forces in the south are intertwined, but there are many forces, but there are more gaps than the unification of political power. So I think it's still like Guo Luo said, there is a better chance of going south to get out of trouble. ”

On an occasion where there were only Yang Dingbang, Guo Luo, and Yang Yi, Zhang Mai didn't shout any exciting slogans, so he just said "the opportunity is greater".

Hearing him say this, Yang Yi was no longer stubborn, Yang Dingbang also nodded, and Zhang Mai said: "If everyone agrees, then we will notify the Ministry of Civil Affairs of this decision - however, I think our guerrilla army can first rush the army from the south as Yang Yi said, and make a fuss around the Ba Ra Sha Roll." ”

Guo Luoxi said: "Use the old residence as bait to divert the tiger from the mountain!" Wonderful! ”

They took advantage of the dusk to rush south, and the Hui army in the south saw that the Tang army had more soldiers and horses coming this time, and became more and more suspicious, fearing that the Tang army was still ambushing, and that the sky was dark and there would be an accident in the battle, so they retreated 20 miles and flew to the rear at the same time. Yang Yi laughed: "The commander of this army is a coward. "I was going to give him a night attack, but Yang Dingbang vetoed it.

When the envoys of the Leopard Tao camp arrived at the rear, Guo Shidao had already begun to arrange for the crossing of the river. The Broken Leaf River is not very deep and wide, and it is not difficult to cross the river, but to cross the river without leaving any trace is a matter of school kung fu. If such a thing is to be handed over to Zhang Mai to operate, he will definitely not be able to do it.

From the new Broken Leaf City to Talas, if you go down the Broken Leaf River, first go to the Ba Ra Sha Rolling area and then turn westward will be a relatively safe road, but if you go directly through the desert, the straight line distance is close, but it is a very dangerous thing, the Broken Leaf Desert is an inland desert, even if it is not as vast as the Sahara Desert, but it is also stretching and endless, even if there are veterans in the army can not guarantee that it is comprehensive, but the Tang Army is in this predicament, but there is no better choice.

When the Ministry of Civil Affairs crossed the river, Guo Shidao also sent Guo Shiyong to lead the Yingyang battalion to reinforce Yang Dingbang, and ordered An Shoujing to be suspicious, creating the illusion that the Tang army was fleeing to the northwest.

Guo Shiyong flew and rode to the two armies together to continue to harass eastward, the more southeast, sure enough, the more frequent the Hui cavalry was haunted, these cavalry saw the Tang army and left, they couldn't catch it, they couldn't catch up, although some of the Hui people had turned into agriculture and settled, and some of them even relied on commerce and trade to live in the towns, but there were still a considerable number of herdsmen, and the things handed down by the ancestors were not all lost, and if the Anxi Tang Army wanted to fight guerrilla warfare with them here, who won and who lost still doesn't know it.

Walking out of more than 100 miles, to a place where water and grass are abundant, Yang Dingbang was slightly surprised but did not see half a cow or sheep, and said to Zhang Mai: "Special envoy, we have to go back, and if we go east, we will fall into the trap of the Hui people." ”

Zhang Mai was puzzled and asked him for advice: "Why do you say that?" ”

Guo Shiyong is the veteran general of the Tang Army, proficient in all kinds of military affairs, all kinds of experience is extremely rich, although there have been no unexpected feats for decades, but Guo Shidao is very dependent on him, and Zhang Mai is a lot of things are half-hung and repeatedly miraculous feats are the two extremes.

At this time, Guo Shiyong squinted at him and thought, "Aren't you clever?" It turns out that there are also people who don't understand. It's just that he naturally didn't say this, but he was happy to say in the tone of an elder enlightening his juniors: "This is the Dalal grassland, with abundant water and grass, and it has always been the pasture land of the Dalal Department of Gelulu, but now there is no one here, obviously I got the news and withdrew overnight." Look at these ......" he pointed to some holes in the ground: "This is the tent of the Qarluqs, and they moved away overnight, not to give us this grassland with good intentions, but to be ordered by the Uighurs, perhaps to buy time for the Uighurs to gather a large army, or perhaps they have arranged a trap in front of us to wait for us!" ”

If the steppe peoples are mobilized, it is possible that all the people will be soldiers, but at the same time, generally speaking, there will not be too many full-time troops waiting for years to fight, and the valley of the Broken Leaves River and the Ili River Valley are the most important nomadic areas in the territory of the Qarakhanid Dynasty, and it will take time for the troops and horses of the various departments under their rule to be mobilized.

Yang Yi said, "But shall we go back now?" I don't know if it's all arranged in the rear. ”

It is not uncommon for the two battalions of 700 light cavalry to suddenly disappear without a trace in one day on this kind of terrain, but it will take a lot of effort for the rear civil department to move and retreat, especially to move their belongings into the desert, and to destroy the traces.

Zhang Mai asked, "What are your ideas?" ”

Yang Yi said: "I want to gather an army of Hui people, or set a trap, it should be on the southeast road leading to Bala Shalu, but we don't go southeast, but attack the northeast first, I know that the Hui people have a Khan ranch at the confluence of the Yili River near Yibohai, Liu An once took me there to play when I was fifteen years old, let's go there first, how about it?" ”

Zhang Mai said: "Wonderful! If the Uighurs have a large army there, we will only harass them on the periphery and lure their soldiers and horses to the north, and if they are there to guard against emptiness, we will rush into their pastures and take the sheep by the hand. ”

Yang Yi said: "It's better for the Hui people to think that we really launched an attack, and they all removed the traps here and ran there, but we turned south instead, and then went to Ba Rasha Roll to wreak havoc, it would be more fun." ”

Zhang Mai laughed: "Yes, fun, fun!" ”

Guo Shiyong and Yang Dingbang glanced at each other, and they both felt that the thinking of these two young people was really wild, but judging by their experience, they felt that the first half of this matter, that is, to go to Yibohai to harass them, was feasible.

More than 700 horsemen immediately turned around and came straight towards Yibohai.
