In the Battle of Boyue Lake, the Northwest Army defeated and annihilated nearly 200,000 cavalry of Mot with 100,000 troops in one fell swoop, which directly led to the collapse of the Guerdan regime, marked by the rise of the pro-northwest Guersufu regime, indicating that the northwest side of the Tengger grassland had enough voice and influence. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis shocking news spread like wings to all parts of the Tengger grassland, and spread to the corresponding regions.

In particular, all the ethnic groups in the East Tengger Grassland, in addition to the Cairo Pes, such as the Tubu people and the Qiuer people, are all watching the changes in their neighbors to the south with a mixed feeling of trepidation, and they do not know whether this incident will bring them a blessing or a curse, but one thing is certain, that is, the spread and expansion of the power in the northwest in the East Tengger Grassland will inevitably affect the relationship between the various ethnic groups in the entire East Tengger Grassland, and will also bring many unimaginable changes.

In fact, the Tubu and Qiuer people have felt the changes brought from the northwest in recent years, the economy of the northwest and the treaties signed by the two major tribes of Erob and Mot to ensure the peace of the trade routes have made them feel the benefits, a large number of living materials and luxury handicrafts from the northwest and the interior of the Central Plains have poured into the territory of the two tribes, and the footprints of the Tang River merchants are all over the northern part of the East Tengger Grassland, all the way to the vast Bering seashore, you can see the figure of the Tang River merchants, so that the nobles of the two tribes can fully feel the convenience and comfort brought by these commodities to their lives。 And the various products of the two tribes such as horses, leather, fur, wool, and ethnic handicrafts have also been dumped abroad in a steady stream with the help of smooth trade routes, especially fine horses have become the largest export materials sold by the two tribes to the northwest, and the emerging wool weaving industry in Qingyang and Yinchuan has also begun to prosper, and the demand for wool has also soared, which has also allowed the nobles who were originally red to herd horses and profit to see a new way to make a fortune.

If the Battle of Boyue Lake brought mixed feelings to the ethnic groups of the Eastern Tengger Grassland, the shock and fear it brought to the countries of the Western Regions was real. The defeat of the 200,000 Mote cavalry took just over four hours, and which of the Western Regions countries had an army of more than 80,000 people? Even if there were, what could it be? It turned out that the Luope people, who were the backers in the background, even directly participated in the Mote people's war against the invasion in the northwest, but the result was that they left their allies behind and fled in embarrassment, which was tantamount to betrayal, although the Luope people themselves also had to suffer.

The great fear firmly grasped the hearts of the people in power in the Western Regions, except for the Wusun Kingdom, which has always been friendly with the Northwest, the other four countries shuddered when they thought of the possible front, and even the Wusun King Sethna was worried about whether the relationship between the Northwest and Wusun would change, in order to gain the initiative, he even sent an envoy to Qingyang to congratulate the victory in the Northwest and inquire about the situation.

The other four countries reacted differently, the Baijia country has been completely under the control of the northwest, the northwest's great victory over Mott and the poor performance of the Luope people have completely lost confidence in the situation of the lucky Baiga, Li Wufeng's hegemony in this vast land of many nationalities has been unshakable, and the forces that try to compete with him have been completely destroyed, and some pragmatic people in the upper echelons of the Beijia have begun to think about whether they should learn from their neighbor Wusun and take refuge in the northwest in order to survive the nation, and even a few officials have been introduced by familiar Wusun officials, hoping to seize the opportunity to win the favor of the northwest and lay the foundation for possible changes in the situation in the future。

The public opinion of the Kuqa people is fully tilted to the northwest, and they have seen with their own eyes that in front of the powerful northwesterners, the Punjab people bow down to their ears, the Hyderabad people are looking forward, the Tik people are strong and inward, the Luope people are strong and middle-working, and the political situation of Mott is turbulent, and their special position makes them more aware of the changes of the times, and the performance and changes of these neighbors have made them deeply aware of who is the real ruler of this land, to borrow the words of their prime minister:" The time of the Luope people has passed, and it is time to turn to the Tanghe people (northwest). By the time Wusun's congratulatory envoy had just set out from the capital for Qingyang, the diplomats of Kuqa had already crossed the border of Northern Luzon and entered the territory of Qingyang Province without stopping.

Looking out of the window blankly and helplessly, the wind of early spring was still wrapped in a slight chill, tightening the leather jacket on his body, Halbayi sighed softly, I didn't expect the fate of the Mott people to be so miserable, the 200,000 army was beaten to the ground, could it be that this Li Wufeng was born to be the nemesis of the people living in this land? Gu Erdan has committed suicide, will the next target fall on his head? Hayibar was not completely worried about himself, he was nearly sixty years old, what else could he not see, but what about his own son, what about his daughter? Especially his own son, who was strong in blood and strength, and it was still too far to fight with Li Wufeng, an old and cunning guy. What's more, now that the situation has changed greatly, if you want to confront the northwest with the strength of Loulan alone, it is simply a foolish act of hitting a stone with an egg.

Walking back to the living room, Halbayi was still uneasy, the performance of the Luope people was too disappointing, with the support of Mott's 200,000 army, the Luope people still refused to fully mobilize and fight to the death in the northwest, and even sent 10,000 cavalry as reinforcements to the east, that Kurdo heard that he was a talent, but why didn't he even show a little light in this war? Of course, Harbayi did not know what was going on for the Motts, nor did Kurdo's quick decision to save the lives of most of the Rope warriors.

Thinking that many nobles had already put forward a request to ease relations with the northwest during the morning court meeting, so as to prevent the northwest soldiers from pointing to Loulan, Haiyibar's heart was even more annoyed. Frightened by Li Wufeng's threats and pressures, these short-sighted guys all began to change the direction of the wind, from their original opposition to the northwest to the direction of defecting to the northwest, and some even proposed to use the means of peace and proximity to win over and curry favor with Li Wufeng, which was simply unbearable.

"Father, are you looking for me?" the deep voice woke up Haybar, who had been meditating with his eyes closed.

"Oh, Khaled, come, sit. Seeing that his son had added a bit of maturity to his heroic vigor, Hayibal was much more comfortable.

Khalid looked at his father with some concern, his father with frosty temples has aged very quickly in the past two years, and the image of the heroic and vigorous in the past has long been a thing of the past, and the deterioration of the surrounding situation in the past two years has put him under too much pressure, Khariet naturally knows who the culprit is, but who can change this reality?

"Father, you should pay attention to your body and rest more, I find that your face seems to be very bad. Khalid had a vague sense that his father's mood was being affected by a certain time.

"Well, I know, I want to take a good rest, but someone doesn't seem to want to give me a chance to rest. Hayibar smiled bitterly, "You have also seen today's court meeting, now the wind direction has changed, it turns out that those guys are all supporting us against the northwest, and now what about it? Hmph, I was broken by the defeat of the Mott people, and I was afraid that the fate of those Mott nobles would fall on them, so I wanted to take advantage of the slope to turn around at this time." ”

"But father, what they said also has some truth, now the northwest is too powerful, even the Luobei people have to retreat three points, especially the Mote people have completely surrendered to Li Wufeng, Guer Sufu has become Li Wufeng's lackey, which has increased Li Wufeng's momentum, needless to say, we in the Western Regions Wusun needless to say, I think Kucha will also fall to the northwest, Bega is now powerless, Gaochang is even more crowded, only we have become a thorn in Li Wufeng's side, I wonder if Li Wufeng will take the opportunity of this big victory to point the finger at us?" After nearly a year or two of training, Khalid's political acumen has improved a lot, much to Haybar's satisfaction.

"You mean to agree with them?" asked Haybar, mused, not believing that his son's attitude would change so much.

"No, Erchen just thinks that there is some truth in what they say, but he does not agree with the methods they have proposed. Khalid also sensed his father's hesitation," But the reality is in front of us, we are now far inferior in strength to the northwest, and the relationship with the northwest is the most tense, according to the information we have, our north Luzon Li Wufeng in the south has formed a new corps, and now it is being assembled, the movement is unknown, needless to say that there is also a northwest army in the north to defeat the Mote, that is, the army of more than 100,000 people in the south is enough to make us face danger, and now the Luope people have become frightened birds, at this time they can't draw strength to help us, even if they can draw a little, then what can they doThe precedent of the Motts is already in front of us, and unless the Luope people start an all-out war with the northwest at all costs at this time, I fear that Li Wufeng will set his sights on us. ”

Seeing that his father nodded in agreement with his opinion, Khalid continued: "It's just that it may be difficult to get Li Wufeng to dispel the idea of using force against us at the moment, and Erchen has also thought a lot about this issue, but there is still no comprehensive way, but as those people in the court said at this time, using money and beautiful women to buy bribes or signing an agreement to pay tribute every year are not enough to dispel the idea of Li Wufeng, who now has an absolute advantage, this is certain." ”

"Yes, we don't have the support of the Luope people, and the countries of the Western Regions are scattered again, Li Wufeng finally found this opportunity, he will definitely not let go easily. Hayibar stroked his forehead with his hand in pain, and the wrinkles on his face that went deep into the ravine were slightly distorted, "Can we just watch Li Wufeng's army invade and sit still?"
