Seeing that Ruojiumu's face was gloomy, he patted him on the shoulder, changed his tone, and said with a smile: "This Xia army pursues the promotion of sergeants, these days it is good to be close to the brave soldiers in the army, Xia King Wu Yingying is a master who is capable of being virtuous, his general Xin Gu is a Khitan, Yu Furen is a Tuyuhun person, and there are many party leaders and Uighur officials who are serving as captains, if the warriors are fortunate enough to follow him, it is a really good future." ”

Ruojiu Mu's eyes widened in surprise: "General, you ......" Chu Luo sneered: "It's not that I'm disloyal to the Fugu family, Fugu Qin has already received Wu Yingying's Danshu iron coupon, and the four towns are handed over, if we don't follow the real king, do we still have to wear filial piety for his family?" He patted Ruojiu Mu on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: " Let's go and straighten out the soldiers and horses, King Wu Yingying of Xia has ordered the Gaochang warriors to conquer the Black Khan, not for ourselves, but also for the clansmen, otherwise, all our relatives will become the shade of others. ”

In the vanguard army of Commander Xin Gu, the hussars and the Xie Fu armies are both cavalry armies, the Flower Hat Army is the infantry army, and the Flower Hat Army is the Jincheng Battalion in Shuzhong that Lanzhou came to vote for, and the captain is still Le Yang Fu. Over the years, the armies under the command of Wu Yingying have expanded their territory and expanded very quickly, not to mention the henchmen in the north and south of the Yangtze River, many of the old brothers in the army in Lanzhou have also become ten-captain centurion and even high-ranking officers of the school captain, only the people of the Jincheng battalion, the captain is still the captain, the centurion is still the centurion, the ten-captain, the sergeant as always, except for a very few secret agents of the military intelligence department, none of them have been introduced into the brotherhood.

Over the past few years, Wu Yingying has no debt to other places in the Jincheng Battalion, and the ordnance, grain and grass are given priority, and they are not allowed to rush to the front to waste their strength in battle, but this kind of courtesy always makes people feel awkward, many of the newly attached Wu Hero's army, such as the Huyang Army formed by the remnants of the four towns of Anxi, and the high-hoof army formed by the conscription of Hehuang warriors, have heard the embarrassing situation of the Jincheng Battalion, "Forget it, if they don't go with the lord, it is the guest army, and the full number of shades has been given preferential treatment." "When will the Jincheng camp return to Bashu?

With the expansion and reorganization of the army, the Jincheng Battalion was successively transferred from the Lianrui Army to the Jinfan Army, from the Jinfan Army to the Jiaorong Army, from the Jiaorong Army to the Tayan Army, and from the Tayan Army to the Flower Hat Army.

Although it has long been agreed that the Erlang Divine Sect will send them to the Wu Heroic Army for training, and the Jincheng Battalion will return to Shuzhong in the future to make trouble, but in the past few years, the sergeants who are similar to themselves in the past have been promoted, and only they are not moving, and the soldiers of the Jincheng Battalion are more or less dissatisfied with the Le Yang Fu and the Erlang Divine Sect that resolutely did not let Wu Yingying divide these Shuzhong children into various battalions, but they are only dissatisfied.

Captain Le Yangfu more or less heard the complaints of the sergeants, and his heart was quite uncomfortable, but since Wu Yingying had already set up a separate battalion in Jincheng, if he did not break up the old brothers, it would be impossible to be promoted, and it was impossible for the foreign army to be set up in a separate army. As the saying goes, ten years of sharpening the sword is used for a while, and the responsibility of the Jincheng battalion is to return to Shuzhong and save his hometown from fire and water.

Since preparing for the westward expedition, the Jincheng battalion has also been trained in the method of nomadic marching, in addition to the Mongolian horses pulling the cart, but also carried a large number of mares and sheep's mouths with the army, the sergeants are also like the shepherds on the grassland, driving the livestock to hurry, hungry and thirsty, they drink mare's milk and goat's milk, and feed on cheese made of mare's milk and goat's milk and roasted jerky, although in order to adapt to the spleen and stomach of the Han people, the sergeants will be given a little fried rice and fried noodles every day, but the baggage carried in the battalion, in addition to ordnance, most of them are the essence prepared for the war horses in the army.

After camping in the water meadows selected by the marching division, the centurion Cai Shun drove the horses and sheep to a designated place for them to gnaw on the hay, the weeds grew crazy for a summer, and now they are a little yellow, and after the horses have eaten, the sergeant has to milk the horses, which is an indispensable source of clean food and water, and everyone is busy at the end of the day, everyone is covered in horse manure and sheep stinking, but they are very excited.

For each major expedition, Wu Yingying would convey the battle plan to all the sergeants as much as possible, so that they would have a sense of participation and responsibility.

The ultimate target of this attack was the Dashi and Qarluqs, who had fought a decisive battle with the Tang Dynasty against Talas, and although they were far away, according to the officers who had been trained in the Dragon's Tooth Army and the Jiaorong Army, as long as there was grass and water, the Han army could go as far as it wanted. Your Majesty's sword is where the sword goes, and those who commit my Huaxia will be punished even if they are far away.

Gaochang's surrender without a fight greatly accelerated the process of the war, so that the road to Shule, the capital of the Black Khanate, was completely unblocked, from Xizhou to Yanqi and then to Qiuzi, the cities and villages along the way made every effort to supply grain and grass to the Xia army, and officials and armies everywhere vied to curry favor with the king of the Western Regions. Because the cold winter was approaching, Wu Yingying did not intend to let the army brave the danger of heavy snow to block the road and force the green ridge, and before entering the harsh winter, the target of the attack was limited to Shule. The armies of Gaochang and Khotan, in accordance with the orders of the Baggage Division, went all out to collect the materials needed by the Xia Kingdom in their respective territories, such as ox tendon, charcoal, saltpeter, sulfur, and fire oil. On the other hand, the Black Khanate seized on the last period of heavy snow to close the passage of the Green Ridge and constantly drew troops from its western territory to reinforce Shule.

"The Caliph actually issued a pardon, declaring that Wu Yingying is the protector of the pious disciples, and fighting against the Xia Kingdom cannot be honored?" Ali Qadir, the monarch of the Black Khan, who called himself Peach Blossom Stone Khan, felt a kind of disgust of being betrayed, "Adulyadej, this despicable hypocrite!" He turned to his deputy Khan, Haron, and asked with a calm face, "How many of the fighters in the Talas army supported us, and their morale was not affected, right?" Haron shook his head and sighed, " After the caliphate's pardon was issued, half of the 20,000 believers who had come to join the war were dispersed, and less than 10,000 remained, all of whom had already crossed the green mountains with our army. Haron looked to the west, and seemed to grit his teeth at the betrayal there.

"The city of Shule is small, and the Han people are good at attacking the city, so they can only play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, and fight a decisive battle with Wu Yingying in the wilderness," Ali Qadir looked at the boundless world outside the city and held on to the city, which was the practice of Khotan and the Han people. "With the warriors of Qarluq and Oghuz, and the help of the true believers who have come to war, and the protection of God, we will be victorious!" Ali seemed to be in a state of fanaticism, in which he seemed to be able to find some kind of comfort as a king.
