In the middle of April of the nineteenth year of Zhenguan, the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate suddenly issued an urgent order, wantonly mobilized troops, and the armies from all walks of life openly assembled on the front line of Lao Ye Temple, Ulastai, and Takshiken, and the entire Western Regions changed color because of this, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense, which made the two brothers who were originally preparing to start a life-and-death decisive battle in Xue Yantuo were surprised, and had to shrink their forces to prevent the large-scale attack of the Anxi Tang Army. The civil war in Xue Yantuo, which was originally on the verge of breaking out, came to a standstill because of this.

A few days after the Dragon Boat Festival in the nineteenth year of Zhenguan, the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate suddenly announced in a high-profile manner that the imperial court edict had been issued, saying that the Mohe Moro Khan of Bazhuo was sealed by the Tang Dynasty, and it was natural for him to succeed Xue Yantuo Khan. As soon as this news came out, the grassland was shaken, and many of the grassland tribes at both ends of the original snake and mouse heard the news and took refuge under the tent of Bazhuo, which made the strength of the two sides of the original evenly matched change fundamentally. The total number of troops of nearly 200,000 was set up because the Anxi Tang Army was constantly gathering troops along the border line, so it could only mobilize 110,000 troops to meet the nearby battle on the front line of Benchagan Lake, and a decisive battle on the grassland was about to begin

Yehe City, located on the shore of the beautiful Ulungu Lake, is not big, there are only less than 4,000 residents in the city, but it is the capital of the Qarlu State since the 18th year of Zhenguan in April, because of the assistance of the Qarlu tribe when Li Zhen, who was the governor of Anxi, defeated the army of Xue Yantuo and was able to establish the country, the country name is the clan name, sitting on the vast area bounded by the north of the Ulungu River to the Altai Mountains, the founder of the country Yehu Amoti followed the initiative of the Tang Dynasty to establish the city as the capital, and with the help of the Anxi artisan battalion, Yehe City was built on the side of the Ulungu Lake as the national capital, Although it was newly built not long ago, it was also quite large-scale, and it coincided with the summer, when the various tribes of the Qarluq tribe transferred to the Ulungu Lake Ranch, and the originally deserted Yehe City suddenly became lively, so the caravans from the Western Regions countries attracted came one after another, turning Yehe City into a prosperous place.

If it was in the past, seeing that his own capital had such a magnificence, Amotti would have been so excited that he couldn't sleep, even if he fell asleep, he had to wake up with a smile, it was not easy, I thought that Amodi was just a sand thief, one of the sand thieves who returned the shares, and he didn't make a sound, but now the time has just passed for more than three years, and the Qarlu tribe has not only established a country, but also one of the stronger countries in the Western Regions. But since the envoy sent by the Protectorate of Anxi, Amotti has fallen into irritability, no longer so excited that he can't sleep, but so worried that he can't eat.

People are ambitious, always looking at a mountain high, Amoti is no exception, after establishing a country with the permission of Li Zhen earlier, Amoti also wanted to build a good homeland at the beginning, and worked hard for the well-being of the Qarluq tribes, but did not do other ideas, but since the end of the steppe due to the internal political instability of Xue Yantuo, many small tribes have crossed the Altai Mountains to join the Qarluq country, Amotti's strength suddenly swelled unprecedentedly, In addition, many small tribes in northern Xinjiang defected to the Qarlu Kingdom because they were dissatisfied with the forced implementation of Han culture by the Tang Dynasty, which made the population of the Qarlu Kingdom increase sharply from the initial population of 70,000 or 80,000 to nearly 400,000, and the number of string-controlling warriors has reached more than 80,000, making it one of the great powers in the Western Regions in one fell swoop.

It is naturally a good thing to be strong, but the problem is that the ensuing ambition has quietly begun to breed and spread, and Amotti is not a person who is willing to live under him, and when he sees that Li Zhen, who is the most feared in his life, has left the Western Regions, Amotti's heart began to be unstable, of course, in the face of the powerful Anxi Iron Army, Amotti will not dare to face the enemy head-on for a while, but quietly support the affairs of those tribes in northern Xinjiang who do not obey the king, but Amotti has not done less, and this spring is taking advantage of the snow disaster in northern Xinjiang. Secretly instigated some small tribes to make trouble, however, under the strong suppression of Lin Chenghe's troops and the powerful measures of Qin Wenhua and others, these large-scale commotions quickly subsided quietly, although Anxi did not hold Amotti accountable for this matter, but Amotti left a shadow in his heart, and was always worried that the Anxi Iron Army would retaliate northward, and for this reason, he even moved the capital to take refuge, but at the end he was still reluctant to comfort and tranquil Yehe City, and did not make any moves. However, because he was worried about the Tang army's attack, Amoti asked his subordinates to step up the construction of a Wanhe city in the Altai Mountains as a place of refuge in the event of future changes.

At the beginning of March of the 19th year of Zhenguan, Xue Yantuo Khan Yi Nan died, Xue Yantuo Khanate immediately fell into a divided civil strife, Dadu set up and Bazhuo brothers to prepare for war, but also sent people to various countries to seek support, at that time, Amotti in the face of Dadu's silver bullet offensive, for a while uncertain, regardless of the strong opposition of his third brother Asmo, laughed at the 50,000 cattle and sheep sent by Dadushe, 300 silk and some property, promised to set up the northern front of the Tang army for Dadu, Chen soldiers more than 10,000 on the Ulungu River, Although Amoti strictly ordered his troops not to cross the Ulungu River to provoke, and did not clash with the garrison of the Anxi Tang Army, but this move still attracted a strong protest from the town guard of the northwest of Anxi, and now the envoy has been waiting for Amotti's reply in the post station in Yehe City, in the face of the possible attack of the powerful Anxi Tang Army, Amoti has been out of proportion, and even did not have the courage to meet the Tang envoy, and thought hard in the palace alone for several days, and had nothing to gain, so he had to summon his two brothers to come to discuss the matter.

Second brother, third brother, Tang envoy has been here for three days, how to respond to this matter, you still need to think about it, do you have any ideas? Amotti, who had not slept well for several days, had a tired face on his face, and glanced gloomily at Awanda and Asmo, who were sitting on either side of the first place, and asked weakly.

Awanda had a bad temper, and when he heard the eldest brother ask about this, he immediately shouted nonchalantly: Big brother, this matter is very negotiable, and our army has never crossed the national border, but it is just wandering around in its own country, is it possible that Tang Jun has to agree to this matter, damn it, reply a fart, it's a big deal, if you can't beat it, our brother will withdraw to the Altai Mountains, I'm afraid of a hairy one!

Asmo is the most sleek of the three brothers, although he is not like the two brothers who have robbed the desert, but his vision is broader than the two brothers, whether it is for the previous Amoti's instigation of the northern Xinjiang, or the later acceptance of generous bribes, Asmo has a resolute attitude of opposition, in his opinion, with the strength of the Qarlu country, if you want to wrestle with the powerful Tang Dynasty, it is purely a self-defeating way, but it is a pity that the two brothers did not listen to him, at this time, I heard Awanda shout and kill, Deng Shi was anxious, glared at Nwanda angrily and said: Second brother, you want to die, don't coax my whole clan to go to the funeral with words! Beat? What to fight? At that time, the Great Khan of Ebiru was extremely strong, but what was the result? It's not that Datang has been wiped out in one fell swoop, just such a few soldiers and horses in my country, it's not enough to stuff Datang's teeth, how to fight?

Fart, can that idiot compare with the eldest brother, hey, there was His Royal Highness at that time, and now His Royal Highness is the prince, how can he return to the army, just the current tricks of the Anxi Tang Army, Lao Tzu really didn't take it to heart, just beat it, I'm afraid of a fart! As soon as Awanda heard Asmo's insulting words, he immediately slammed the table and retorted unceremoniously.

You Asmo was so angry by Awanda's arrogance that his face turned blue, but he didn't want to argue with him, after glaring at Awanda, he resisted the urge to argue with him, and looked at Amoti very sincerely: Big brother, we are definitely not the enemy of the Tang Army, this is what the big brother knows, if I want to be truly strong, it must be the efforts of several generations, at this time, our country should be diligent in internal affairs, accumulate strength, and externally must closely rely on the Tang Dynasty, not as an enemy, otherwise, I am afraid that there will be a disaster of destroying the country and killing yourself!

Bah! Awanda is now in charge of the army, holding tens of thousands of troops, his heart is very high, he has already been arrogant and does not know the height of the sky, how can he hear Asmo's words of weakness, without waiting for Amoti to express his position, he stood up, despised Asmo, spat hatefully, and shouted: The third brother is very bullshit, there are only more than 80,000 soldiers in the northwest of Anxi, and he has to deploy along the Takshiken line, and the mobile troops that can be drawn out are less than 30,000, and now Anxi is gathering troops to Takshken, How can there be any troops to invade my Qarlu country, hehe, the 80,000 string-controlling soldiers under my brothers and I are not vegetarians, and if the Tang army does not come, it will be enough, if you dare to come, we will destroy him as much as you want!

Asmo was really anxious, Huo Ran got up, glared at Awanda angrily and said: Nonsense! Second brother, Erxiu wants to coax people, big brother, the strength of the Tang Dynasty is the overlord of the world, and my Qarlu country really wants to be the enemy of the Tang Dynasty, that is, to hit the stone with an egg, and there is no place to bury him, big brother, for the safety of my Qarlu country, you can't act so recklessly.

That's enough! Seeing that his two younger brothers were arguing, Amotti was furious, slapped the table and said: "Sit down for Lao Tzu, make a lot of noise, what kind of system is it, and then discuss the matter!"

Seeing that their brother was angry, the brothers had to sit down, but they all became stuffy gourds, and their faces were silent, and Amotti was helpless, and said with a sigh: Second brother, third brother, although my Qarlu country is established, it is sandwiched between the two powerhouses of Datang and Xue Yantuo, and the development space is really limited. Now that the opportunity is in front of us, our brothers should join hands and work hard for the rise of our Qarluq nation, how can we do this kind of battle of will?

Awanda has a heroic personality, and when he heard Amotti's words, he immediately slapped his chest excitedly, and shouted with a look of loyalty and courage: Don't worry, big brother, the little brother is the peerless knife in the hands of the eldest brother, the eldest brother said to cut it, and the little brother has nothing to say!

Compared with Awanda's heroism, Asmoke was frightened and depressed, and looked at Amotti in a panic and said: Big brother, you can't, you can't fight, big brother

Without waiting for Asmo to finish speaking, Amoti waved his hand coldly and said: Third brother, if you still recognize this big brother, then you should help the eldest brother and do your best for the rise of our clan.

As soon as he heard Amoti say everything to this point, Asmo was no longer persuadable, and after his face changed for a while, he gritted his teeth and said: Big brother rest assured, since the eldest brother has decided to do so, the younger brother, as the prime minister of the Qarlu country, will do his best to help the eldest brother.

That's good! There is an old saying among the Han people, brothers work together, and their profits are golden! I'll wait for the three brothers to join hands and call the heavens and the earth to change colors! When Amotti saw Asmo's expression, he was in a good mood, slapped the table, and said very excitedly, pointing out the country and scolding Fang Xuan's spirit.

The eldest brother said this well, as a good man of the Qarlu clan, how can we look up to the snort of others, and we should raise male soldiers to sweep the world! Now that Xue Yantuo is in civil strife, he has no time to take care of himself, and the attention of the Anxi Tang Army is all on Xue Yantuo, and the Guannai Tang Army is now on an expedition to Goguryeo with the main force, which is a great opportunity for the rise of my Qarlu country. Awanda stood up excitedly and hurried to show his attitude.

Although Asmo tried his best to oppose the fight with the Tang Dynasty before, he saw that his brother had made up his mind, and knew that no matter how much persuasion he had, it would be useless, and his heart rolled for a while, but he still cheered up and asked in a deep voice: Big brother, even if you want to go to war, you have to have an opportunity, but you don't know how the big brother plans to act?

As soon as Asmo asked such a question, Amotti laughed slyly and said: Anxi sent an envoy to say that he wanted to use the Red Mountain Mouth to march into Xue Yantuo, and the total strength of his army was 10,000 light horsemen. If you don't borrow this way, Tang Jun will inevitably join the army, but what will happen if you borrow it?

Ah, eldest brother, what do you mean is that after Amotti received the document submitted by the Tang envoy, he did not discuss the matter publicly, not to mention Awanda, even Asmo did not know the content of the document, at this time hearing Amotti bring up this matter, the brothers were all taken aback, but Asmo's mind was more sensitive, and he faintly guessed Amotti's true intentions, and he was stunned for a while, and he couldn't go on halfway through the words.

Hey, that's right! Amotti saw that Asmo guessed his intentions, and then he smiled proudly and said: Although the name of the Anxi Tang Army is one, in fact, the troops are divided into north and south, and there is no subordinate to each other, which can be hidden from others, but it can't be concealed from a certain one, hehe, although the total number of troops in the northern Xinjiang of the Tang Army is more than 80,000, but the territory is huge, there are many places to defend, and the mobile forces that can be gathered are not abundant. Then gather the troops of the whole country and plunder the Tang army in various parts of the country, which may not have no chance of winning, coupled with the antipathy of the various ethnic groups caused by the Tang army's vigorous promotion of Han culture in recent years, our army is everywhere, and all ethnic groups will echo together, once they can take the northern Xinjiang, the Tang army in the southern Xinjiang will want to enter the northern Xinjiang again, it is not easy, if so, my Qarlu country should undoubtedly rise!

Asmo, as the prime minister, is quite concerned about the political situation in northern Xinjiang, knowing that the current situation in northern Xinjiang is not as calm as it seems on the outsideLi Zhen had sent the chiefs and magnates of the major tribes to Chang'an, and then made great efforts to transform the tribes, but because of the habits of the nomads, even if the Han culture is extremely powerful and wants to be promoted among the nomads, the resistance is really huge, and the time is still short, the results are not obvious, and the opposition is endless. If it weren't for the strong forces suppressing, the tribes would have been in chaos a long time ago, from this point of view, the strategic idea proposed by Amoti is not impossible to realize, however, the risk is extremely high, the most critical is how to cover the Tang envoy and how to eat the 10,000 Tang troops who borrowed the road cleanly without hurting the bones, thus triggering an avalanche effect, in this regard, Asmo is really half sure of it, after hesitating for a while, he had to speak: What the eldest brother said is certainly reasonable, But how to eat this 10,000 Tang army, I don't know if the eldest brother has any good strategy?

Faced with Asmo's question, Amotti laughed loudly and said: The key to this matter should fall on the third brother.

As soon as Asmo heard this, he was dumbfounded, looked at Amotti who was laughing in a daze, and asked suspiciously: "Big brother, the younger brother doesn't know how to destroy the enemy, how can this thing of destroying the enemy be done?"

Amoti smiled and waved his hand and said: Although the third brother can rest assured, leading the troops to fight, he has his eldest brother and the second brother here, there is no need for Erduo to think about it, you just blinded the Tang envoy and deceived the 10,000 Tang army across the Ulungu River, hehe, the Tang envoy Chen Dongliang is the third brother's old acquaintance, how to do this, I think the third brother will have a sense of proportion, the eldest brother is waiting for your good news.

Asmo lowered his head, calmly pondered, and his heart moved, he already had an opinion, so he raised his head, looked at Amotti, and said calmly: Don't worry, eldest brother, younger brother knows what to do.

Amotti nodded with satisfaction and said: "Okay, without further ado, since the Tang envoy has been here for three days, it is time to give a reply, and everything will be left to the third brother."

Yes, the younger brother will do it immediately. Asmo stood up, bowed in reply, turned and walked out of the palace, leading his men to the inn
