The Ili Valley, Alimari, and Temujin received unfavorable news one after another.

"The snow in the north of Mobei has frozen hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep to death, and tens of thousands of people have froze to death in the Jebe tribe that returned to Mobei from the south of the desert."

"The Golden Horde was attacked by the Eastern European steppe coalition army, the Eastern European steppe coalition army, about 150,000 people!"

"The Persian coalition is attacking the Ilkhanate, claiming to be 500,000 troops!"

"The Seljuk Sultan retreated to the royal city and desperately defended it, while the cavalry of Möngke, Ogedei, and Timur were occupying the cities of the Seljuk Empire."

"Let Ogedai and Möngke not attack every city, but only capture the large cities with teleportation arrays, as well as the cities where supplies can be obtained."

"Great Khan, the Subutai tribe north of the Tianshan Mountains is being attacked by the cavalry of the unknown Han army, and the Lord of Subutai is fighting with it, causing an avalanche, and the battle and avalanche have led to the death of tens of thousands of cavalry!"

"The Han Empire Expeditionary Force in Luntai City is nowhere to be found!"

News from all over the world reached Temujin in Alimari, and the five great civilizations were determined to wipe out the three khanates.

The territories of the three khanates overlapped with the spheres of influence of the five civilizations, and at the same time posed a threat to the five civilizations, so the five civilizations wanted to get rid of them as soon as possible.

What made Temujin most wary was the vanishing Han Empire Expeditionary Force.

The Han Empire expeditionary force stationed in Luntai City still did not return to Guannai, and suddenly disappeared at this time, and the target may be the Chagatai Khanate.

The Han Empire had already wiped out the Ögedai Khanate, and the Chagatai Khanate could be their next target.

"Ling Zhebei led 100,000 cavalry and teleported from Mobei to Alimali."

Temujin couldn't help but worry about the purpose of the Han Empire's expeditionary force.

He and Chagatai's troops lost nearly half of their troops in the battle of Luntai and needed to get a batch of supplies.

"In addition, try to migrate a group of people to Central Asia, Mobei will not be able to feed so many people, so if they stay in Mobei, they will starve to death next year."

"Great Khan, need to brave the cold winter to migrate them here?"

"Mobei is no longer so safe, scatter the population around, Chagatai, you will find that it is the best choice for our tribe. Gather troops from all over the country and come to Alimari, the vanishing Han Empire expeditionary force, the target is here. ”

Chagatai showed an expression of disbelief: "The expeditionary force of the Han Empire, they dare to cross the Tianshan Mountains and attack Alimali?" ”

"Don't underestimate them. Subutai has encountered a crisis, Mu Huali, you go to assist Subutai and deal with Wei Qing and Huo Quai. If it is not possible to win, it is not safe to move the population to the Chagatai Khanate, north of the Tien Shan. ”

Temujin's premonition was strong.

Among the four cowardly Xue, Mu Huali, who had the strongest ability to command the army, was ordered by Temujin to lead the cavalry to support Subutai.

"Chagatai, strengthen patrols on all mountain roads in the Tianshan Mountains, and report immediately as soon as you find traces of the Han Empire expeditionary force."

"The possible passages for the Han Empire expeditionary force include Xiate Road, Wusun Road, Qiuzi Road, Tianshan North Road, ......"

Chagatai spread out a parchment map, and on this parchment map, various ancient roads of the Tianshan Mountains were marked, and the dogs and teeth were intertwined.

The Tianshan Mountains are extremely steep, but among these intertwined mountain ranges, there are still some mountain trails where you can march.

"Wei Qing and Huo Quai, who attacked Subutai, took the North Tianshan Road, so it is possible that the Han Empire Expeditionary Force will stagger with it and take the Wusun Road."

Temujin moved his finger to Wusun Dao.

The wind was howling, Wusun said, the Han Empire expeditionary force was forcibly crossing the Tianshan Mountains.

Along the Wusun Road, you can also see forts and beacons that have fallen into disrepair.

In order to unite the Wusun Kingdom and deal with the Xiongnu, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty took Xia Te Dao and Wusun Dao as the main military routes, and set up forts and beacons.

Originally, these forts had been abandoned, but Huo An, as the protector of the Western Regions, needed to control the Ili River Valley, the Tarim Basin, the Junggar Basin, the Dawan Kingdom and other places at the same time, and repaired these fortifications again, becoming a supply point for the Han Empire's expeditionary force to cross the Tianshan Mountains.

"It's hard to imagine that in the Han Dynasty, such a passage was opened up, in such a harsh environment...... The wisdom and courage of the ancients cannot but be admirable. ”

Xu Fengnian led the war horse, and the Han Empire expeditionary force had reached the end of Wusun Road and was about to enter the Ili River Valley.

"The area of the Lord has expanded, and the width of Wusun Road has also increased, otherwise it will be more difficult to march, let alone pass through 110,000 soldiers and horses. As long as you occupy Alimari and restore the teleportation array between Luntai and Alimari, you will not need to climb over the Tianshan Mountains in the future. If it weren't for the forcible occupation of Alimari by the Chagatai Khanate, why would we have worked so hard. ”

Hoan was also a little tired.

The 110,000 expeditionary forces of the Han Empire, in order to attack the Chagatai Khanate, used the most primitive march on foot and forcibly crossed the Tianshan Mountains!

The 110,000 expeditionary force was commanded by some generals with the characteristics of forced march and mountain march to speed up the march.

For example, the Tang general Gao Xianzhi has a great bonus to the legion's mountain march, which can increase the speed of the march and reduce non-combat casualties.

"Although it is dangerous, in order to destroy the Chagatai Khanate and recover Alimari......" Xu Fengnian gasped, "Chu Zimou's side, it seems that someone is sick......"

The expeditionary force sent by Chutian was the largest, with 50,000 people, because Chutian had the characteristics of "sealing the wolf and dwelling in the city", which could also reduce the negative effects of unfavorable terrain, so the march so far, only a few hundred people have been lost.

But Chu Tian's mood at this time was not very good, because he was sick because of the cold in summer.

Among the women, the summer cool has the weakest constitution and can hardly withstand the difficult mountain march.

At this time, it is very fatal.

"Let me ...... down"

In the summer cold and dazed, he found that Chu Tian was carrying her on his back, marching on the mountain road, and his cheeks were hot.

"According to Huo An's inference, in about two or three days, we can leave Wusun Dao, no matter what, you can't die."

Chu Tian's force, it is not difficult to march with a person on his back, but Chu Tian did not expect that his force would be used in this place.

"Hmm."

In the summer, Liang leaned on Chu Tian's back, and fell asleep again in a daze.

"Miss Xia is alright, right?"

Huo Qing and Hua Mulan led the war horse and walked behind, a little worried.

Obviously, Chu Tian attached great importance to Miss Xia, and if she was unfortunate enough to have an accident while crossing the Tianshan Mountains, even if she captured Ali Mari, Chu Tian would consider this expedition a huge failure.

"Sister Xia, there shouldn't be an accident......

Mulan was also a little worried.

The Han army rested at the last fort on Wusun Road.

There were only 30 Han soldiers in the fort, who were loyal to Huo'an, the capital of the Western Regions, guarding Wusun Road for Huo'an, and becoming the night watchman in the Tianshan Mountains.

But when they saw that Huo An, the capital of the Western Regions, had arrived, they were in tears.

They also thought that the cities in the Western Regions had been conquered by the Chagatai Khanate.

The Han army was able to rest here.

There was not much space in the fort, and Huo An took into account that Chutian's eldest wife was sick, so he took the initiative to give up the fort.

In the summer, it is cold and still has a high fever and does not wake up.

"If you go any further, you will enter the Ili River Valley, and then you will march seven or eight hundred miles, and you will reach Alimari. The rest of the journey was relatively easy. ”

Hoan pointed to the rudimentary map.

"I don't want to come back again."

The situation of the old Qin is not very good, and crossing the Tianshan Mountains is also a torture for the old Qin.

"As long as Alimari is returned to our hands, there will be a teleportation array in the future, and we can directly gather troops in Alimari City, and then attack Central Asia."

"Originally, I planned to use Wusun and Dawan as strongholds, divide my troops into two routes, and occupy the whole of Central Asia. Now the Wusun Kingdom is controlled by Chagatai, and the Dawan Kingdom does not know what the situation is. Maybe the Yue Clan, that is, the Kushan Empire, occupied the Great Wan Kingdom. In the future, if you reconquer the Great Wan Kingdom, you will have to break out into war with the Kushan Empire......"

Huo An also had some headaches.

"What's the situation on Chu Zimou's side?"

"I don't think it's good, his eldest wife can't have an accident......"

Xu Fengnian and Huo An were also a little worried when they mentioned this.

The Shenji Battalion, which is cool in summer, still has a big role in this expedition.

Moreover, if something happens, it will also be a huge blow to Chu Tian.

Li Xiuning pressed one hand on the hilt of the sword, looking at the snow-covered Tianshan Mountain Range, with a heavy heart.

She has been friends with Xia Liang for a few years, and she doesn't want her to have an accident, but this time......

The Han army rested for the night at the last fort and continued the journey, not delaying the expedition because one person was sick.

Now, the 110,000 Han army is between the Tianshan Mountains, and there is no teleportation array nearby, and one more day of delay means that the grain and grass are reduced, and they must pass through Wusun Road as soon as possible.

……

In the valley of the Ili River, Chagatai deployed a large number of scout cavalry to patrol the Wusun Road, Xia Tedao and other passes to prevent the Han Empire expeditionary force from sneak attack.

Although in Chagatai's view, it is unimaginable that the Han army chose to cross the Tianshan Mountains in the cold winter, it is still prudent.

A Mongol hundred-household led cavalry to rest in a village below the Tien Shan Mountains.

"Han Army, the battle flag of the Han Army!"

"They really dare to march in the cold winter?!"

"Go to Alimari immediately and inform the Great Khan!"

The hundred households of the Chagatai Khanate hurriedly gathered the cavalry under their command and went to investigate!

In the gap at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, a Han infantry took the lead and attacked the fortress garrisoned by the Mongol cavalry!

Le Jin and Ju Yi lead the Dengzhi onslaught!

The Han Empire Expeditionary Force knew that if they didn't gain a foothold here as soon as possible, they would all freeze to death in Wusun Dao!

Le Jin and Ju Yi risked their lives, and under the cover of the strong crossbow of the first deceased soldier, they and a team of Yanjia broke through the fort and expelled the defenders inside!

The Han army opened the way out of the mountain!

For a time, the news of the appearance of the Han Empire's expeditionary force in the Ili River valley spread throughout the entire Chagatai Khanate!

The expeditionary force stationed in Luntai really crossed the Tianshan Mountains and hit the Chagatai Khanate!

The Chagatai Khanate invaded the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains where the Western Regions Protectorate was located, and this time, the Western Regions Protectorate retaliated with the expeditionary force from Guannai and invaded the Chagatai Khanate!
