But because Yun Yang has left Chengdu Mansion, he can only temporarily be under Xiong Jiben's command.

This move has greatly eased the pressure on the Chengdu government.

Since then, Kumakimoto has begun to equalize the Obstruction Army in terms of troops.

The two armies fought each other on the front line of Long, Jian, and Bizhou, and each had its own wins and losses.

Xiong Jiben arranged the main force in Jianzhou, and with the geographical advantages of the Sword Pavilion, he did not retreat.

……。

Baili Wuji and Zheng En led 6,000 Guiyi troops from Guazhou to the east.

Since the main Uighur force in Ganzhou had been destroyed, Baili Wuji led his troops to easily occupy Suzhou, and then marched towards Ganzhou, the Uighur capital.

Three days later, Baili Wuji led the righteous army to the city of Ganzhou.

Jingqiong, the Uighur Khan of Ganzhou, had no way to ask for help from the Western Liao and Block, and the distant water could not quench his thirst, so in desperation, he led 2,000 defenders to surrender to the rebel army.

When Baili Wuji entered the city of Ganzhou, Jingqiong, the Uighur Khan of Ganzhou, knew that the commander of the Guiyi Army was actually the Ming Emperor Baili Wuji.

So, Jing Qiong re-presented Baili Wuji with a gift and presented sixty-four pairs of good horses, white jade hundred regiments, and white jade saddle bridles.

The three prefectures of Su, Gan and Liang under the rule of Fu were brought under the rule of the Ming State.

Since then, the Uighur lands of Su, Gan, and Liangganzhou have also been annexed to the Ming state.

Baili Wuji felt very troubled, this place of Su, Gan and Liang had been promised to the Guiyi army defense envoys, and now the Uighur Khan Jingqiong of Ganzhou surrendered, and he could not be forcibly expelled.

After consideration, Baili Wuji took a compromise strategy.

Canonized Jingqiong as the history of Gansu Thorn, and its jurisdiction is five prefectures: melon, Sha, Su, Gansu and Liang.

In this way, Jingqiong led the government, and Cao Yuanzhong led the army. It makes sense.

Jing Qiong did not object when he heard this, but made a request to Baili Wuji, he wanted to resume the war horse and silk trade between the Central Plains and the Uighurs in the past.

Jing Qiong was the son of Renyu, the Uighur Khan of Ganzhou. Because the Tang Dynasty married the Uighurs three times with a princess, the Uighurs called the Chinese Dynasty their uncle, and the Central Plains court gave an edict to call them nephews.

At the beginning, the Tang Dynasty fought for many years and lacked war horses, so it was agreed with the Ganzhou Uighurs that the Central Plains would exchange forty silk horses for one war horse, but later the Tang Dynasty reduced the war and ceased war for many years. The demand for war horses had plummeted, and trading with the Ganzhou Uighurs had become a heavy burden.

However, in order to envelop the Uighurs in Ganzhou, the Central Plains court could only maintain the deal.

Until the fall of the Tang Dynasty.

Jingqiong has long been attached to the Central Plains. The idea of continuing to trade war horses and silk with the Central Plains is just that in the past few decades, the Central Plains Emperor has switched like a marquee, and he doesn't know who to be loyal to.

Whether it is the Uighurs of Ganzhou. Or the rebels. They are only a small force in the Western Regions, and their way out is no other way than to attach themselves to the strong, because their population is too small and they are seriously short of materials, and they must be supplemented by powerful forces.

Baili Wuji agreed to Jing Qiong's request, but limited the number. The annual trading volume was set at 5,000 horses, and at the same time, the Central Plains trade materials increased by one. Grain.

This was a good thing for the Ganzhou Uighurs, who were short of grain in the Western Regions, and silk was just a luxury, and the Ganzhou Uighurs, in addition to a small amount used by the nobles, were also sold to Tianzhu, Dashi and other places through the Silk Road in exchange for supplies.

Baili Wuji's conditions, except for the quantity of Jing Qiong is a little disappointed, the others are basically satisfied.

In this way, from west to east, the territories of the Guiyi Army, the Ganzhou Uighurs, and the Jiaoguo Luo tribes were connected together, forming a long channel, that is, the part of the Silk Road near the Central Plains in the past, like a sharp blade, inserted between the Tibetan and the divination, separating the western and northern alien races.

The surrender of the Ganzhou Uighurs saved the Guiyi army, which had been preparing to attack the city, from losses, and after liaising with the new army in Huangzhou, they advanced the front to Lanzhou.

As a result, the longitudinal defense line of the Guiyi Army and the New Army on the Liang and Lan lines was established.

Liang and Lan are connected to the north and south, and the attack and defense are mutually reinforcing, unless the Liao and Bu coalition forces come to attack, the army of 120,000 is not enough to break through this defense line.

The Han people living in the Western Regions began to sign up for the army enthusiastically.

This also limits the influence of Xiang Jingqiong and Jiaoguoluo, imagine that in an army, when the number of Han soldiers exceeds the number of Uighur and Tibetan soldiers, can this army still completely obey Jingqiong and Jiaoguoluo?

This is also the reason why Baili Wuji appointed the two as defense envoys and assassins respectively.

Let them leave this land and go to the Central Plains to become officials, that will definitely not work.

But if they want to still save this land, Baili Wuji is not at ease, only in this way, let these two tribes supervise each other, so that Baili Wuji, who is far away in Jinling, can rest assured that Mingguo can rest assured.

……。

Yun Yang and Xu Shouren, who retreated with Zhao Kuangyin and Xiang Xun, arrived in Ningzhou and helped the Zhou army consolidate the Ningzhou defense line, and fought several battles with the pursuing Liao army, each with wins and losses.

A few days later, the Tubo messengers sent by Baili Wuji to report to Jinling Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion were arrested by the Zhou army as a fine work when they passed through Ningzhou.

After interrogation, it was found that it was not fake, and Zhou Junzuo sent the messenger to Zhao Kuangyin and Xiang Xun.

Zhao Kuangyin immediately notified Yun Yang and Xu Shouren.

Thus, the news that the Ming Emperor was still alive was confirmed by the messenger himself.

After Yun Yang and Xu Shouren got Zhao Kuangyin's permission, they sent a team of soldiers to escort the messenger to report to Jinling Mansion.

At the same time, he said goodbye to Zhao Kuangyin and Xiang Xun, prepared to attack westward, opened up the passage with Hehe and Lan Erzhou, and welcomed Baili Wuji back to the Ming Kingdom.

As Zhao Kuangyin and Xiang Xun from different countries, it is inconvenient to stop them, but this move is really dangerous and abnormal.

The Liao army marched on the three routes, and after capturing the four prefectures of Ling, Yan, You, and Xia on the upper road, it confronted the Zhou army west of Yinzhou City and across the Great Wall.

The middle route conquered the four prefectures of Wei, Yi, Yuan, and Jing, and the Zhou army and Yunyang and Xu Shouren were in full swing in Ningzhou.

The Liao army of Qin, Cheng, Jie, Long and the Zhou army of the lower Liao army stumbled on the front line of Fengxiang Mansion.

At this time, the Ming army wanted to open up the passage with the two states of He and Lan from Ningzhou, and only by re-conquering the two states of Yuan and Wei could they establish contact with the two states of He and Lan.

The difficulty of switching from a defensive battle to a counterattack can be imagined.

Xiang Xun thanked Yun Yang and the others for saving their lives, and persuaded each other: "The stakes are very high, now that the morale of the Liao army outside Ningzhou City is flourishing, since the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom is safe and worry-free in a short time, it is better to plan carefully and then counterattack." ”

But Xiang Xun was not a general of the Ming Kingdom after all, and no general of any country knew that his emperor was in a desperate situation and could calmly carry out careful planning.

In Yun Yang and Xu Shouren's hearts, they had already made a mistake and never wanted to make a second mistake.

Yun Yang said: "The Liao army in front of Ningzhou has been lost three percent outside the city of Weizhou, and now there are more than ten fierce battles outside the city of Ningzhou, and the loss is not less than two percent, carefully calculated, the Liao army outside the city of Ningzhou is no more than 50,000 at most, and the Liao army has come from afar, it has been two months, although the morale is booming, but the people and horses have been tired, at this time our army reverse assault, when it can receive the effect of surprise, a certain thing should be done."
