"Damn! Li Xiao actually dared to fight in the Western Regions! "Geldan knew that Xingxing Gorge and Hami were occupied by Li Xiao, and it was already half a month later.

Li Xiao was stationed at the Yumen Pass, and Geldan thought that Li Xiao was just scaring people. After all, the army of the Han people has not appeared in the Western Regions in a structured way for more than a thousand years. Moreover, Dolgon said that although Li Xiao's army was powerful, it had a fatal weakness. That is too much reliance on logistical baggage!

The vast and sparsely populated Gobi desert in the Western Regions was the best means to stop Li Xiao's attack. Li Xiao's subordinates, who were called old soldiers by the Mongols, would be overwhelmed by the march alone. Not to mention, this is the home of the people of the Western Regions. The Dzungar Mongols have been living here for two hundred years since the time of Yezen.

Geldan is depressed!

finally boiled the old brother with the right to inherit to death, finally killed the number one father, and finally became the Great Khan of the Dzungar Khanate. Before he had a chance to show his strength, such a disaster came.

"Hami is more than 2,500 miles away from Ili, and it is not easy for Li Xiao to attack the Ili River Valley. The first thing he had to overcome was the logistical supply problem, and the railroad allowed him to quickly transport soldiers hundreds of miles away. But the problem is that there are no railways in the Western Regions. He could not have moved his troops to the Ili Valley so quickly. "Dolgon still looks like an old god, and he's been like that since he killed Batur Khan.

And all day long, Shenlong saw the head and the tail, hiding at home like a little daughter-in-law, and many times Geldan didn't know what this guy was doing hiding at home.

"Hmmm! Then move all the tribes along the way back to the Ili River Valley, and let's also give him Li Xiao a strong wall to clear the wilderness, but it's a pity to leave those grasslands to the Han people. Gerdan quickly understood what Dorgon meant, and he decided to withdraw everyone. Let the road of Li Xiao's attack become a complete no-man's land. There are not even people, it depends on how you resupply.

If you dare to go deep into the Western Regions to attack the Ili River Valley, a supply line of 2,500 miles long is Li Xiao's lifeline. As long as this supply line is cut off, the Han army will not be afraid of coming.

"Clearing the wilderness is only the first step, and those tribes who have lost their pastures will definitely have complaints. You'll need to find new pastures for them! ”

"What then? If the walls are cleared and the Han people are not allowed to get supplies, these pastures can only be abandoned. Could it be that you want to leave them to Li Xiao? Geldan looked at Dorgon with some distemper, he was a little fed up with this Jurchen who was talking more and more yin and yang.

"Of course, we can't leave it to Li Xiao, I mean we have lost land in the east and need to take it back in the west. We can march on Samarkand, and after taking Samarkand, we can make it the capital of the country. In this way, I am five or six thousand miles away from Li Xiao. Even if Li Xiao has wings, he doesn't dare to chase us. ”

"Run! Run! Run! When is it a head, Li Xiao is chasing behind, let's run in front, can we still run to the edge of the sky? "Gardan was unhappy with Dorgon's avoidance of war. Since the last time he went to the capital of Daming, this Jurchen has become more and more timid.

"We can't run to the edge of the sky, and we don't need to run to the edge of the sky. After retreating more than 2,000 miles, he Li Xiao wanted to annex these lands, and he didn't think about it for more than ten or twenty years. Although the Ming Dynasty had a large population, they were quite comfortable under Li Xiao's rule, and most of the Han people relocated to the land, and not many were willing to immigrate to the Western Regions.

This is still an optimistic estimate, I don't think that in 30 years, Li Xiao will not be able to stand on the land of 2,000 miles. With 2,000 miles of land in exchange for at least 20 years, this account can be settled. Dolgon casually handed a cup of butter tea to Geldan, who had lived in Tibet for many years and was very fond of drinking it.

Dorgon poured himself a cup of tea, which he enjoyed more and more now. I hate those greasy tea soup more and more, and sometimes I smell the smell of that tea soup, and even want to vomit.

"I'm twenty-five years old, and I'll be fifty-five years from now. At that time, won't we have to face Li Xiao? ”

"Then you go and fight now, can you beat it?" Taking a sip of tea, Dorgon said lightly.

One sentence choked on Geldan's temper suddenly, yes! If they had succeeded, the Mongol soldiers would have rushed into the land of the Han people and looted it, and the Han people's flowery world was left to the Mongols to do whatever they wanted. Do you still need to stay in this Ili River valley and herd sheep all day?

"This time it was Li Xiao who personally led the team, since his debut. It is constantly facing us Jurchens, or facing Han Chinese, Mongols, and even the Japanese and the British in the West. Which battle was defeated in the battle he personally commanded?

In the face of him, we can only retreat and preserve our strength. Thirty years, you thought it would pass like three days? In the span of thirty years, countless things will happen. Thirty years later, can Li Xiao live? Or whether there will be civil strife in the Ming Dynasty, and whether there will be a few days of national strength are two words.

What's more! Although the Ming Dynasty has sharp weapons and strong technology, the British have not been idle. Wu Sangui has a lot of eyeliner in Daming, and he is constantly digging into Daming's technology. Plus the British are not stupid, they have PhDs from Cambridge and Oxford to do research.

Thirty years later! It's hard to say what the situation will be!

We exchanged 2,500 miles of land for 30 years. Thirty years later, it is not clear whether the British have the final say. Since you can't beat it now, it is the best choice to delay and wait for change. "Dolgon blew a sip of tea foam, the tea produced in the south of the Yangtze River has to be transported to the Western Regions through thousands of mountains and rivers, and the tea is not as good as it is drunk in Daming.

It's fucking expensive!

Listening to Dorgon's words, Gerdan was silent. After a long time, Gerdan sighed helplessly and left Dolgon's mansion.

The Dzungars did not go east to meet the invading Han Chinese. They headed westward, preparing to attack Samarkand, a major city in Central Asia.

Many years ago, it was the capital of the Timurid Empire. In earlier times, it was the capital of the Khorezm Empire. When Genghis Khan conquered this place, he carried out a dehumanizing massacre. This pearl of Central Asia has been dimmed for three hundred years. To this day, it has not restored the prosperity of the Khorezm Empire.

For nearly 100 years, the owners here have changed frequently. The current master is none other than Batur Hunkhan's grandson, the eldest son of the monk, who is arrogant and alabutan. Eight months earlier, he had defeated the Turks of the Turks Lopzang Tenzin and succeeded in capturing Samarkand.

It's only been eight months, and the ass hasn't been hot yet. His dear uncle, Gerdan, followed him to Samarkan with all his army.

"Damn it! He killed my father, and he killed my grandfather. Now it's time to kill them all! When Alabutan heard the news that Gerdan himself had led a large army, he gritted his teeth in anger but could not do anything. After a series of fierce battles, Arabutan's men were exhausted and suffered staggering losses. The Tuhu Special Department is also a descendant of the Mongols, so it is not so easy to deal with.

"I've heard that the Han army has recently left the Yumen Gate. Geldan not only lost the Star Gorge, but even Hami also lost. From Hami to the Ili River Valley, there is no barrier other than distance. I think Geldan just wanted to stay as far away as possible from the Ming army.

The journey of more than 2,500 miles, the Ming army had to walk on two legs for more than a month. Not to mention, the Han army has always attached great importance to logistics. It seems to me that Geldan is ready to abandon the Ili Valley, and is ready to take our Samarkan as his foothold. Arabutan bowed his head, and a big man in a Mongolian robe said angrily.

"Danju! What you say is true? Alabutan's face immediately changed, if this was the case, Geldan would definitely fight to the death with him. The only way now is to give up Samarkand.

But where can you go if you give up Samarkan? Further west, that is the territory of the Rakshasas. I heard that the Tuhut people were not doing well under the rule of the Rakshasas. Defection to the Persians? It's a long way to go, and when you get there, you're sure to be under the fence.

That...... The British who defected to India? Alabutan immediately rejected this idea, Geldan and Wu Sangui had a bad relationship, he really went to India, and it was very likely that he would be tied up by Wu Sangui and given to Geerdan.

"Really! A caravan from the east told us that the leader of the caravan was a Mongol, whom we had known before, and was quite reliable. Danzhu patted his chest and promised.

Alabutan knew that although Danzhu looked rough, he was still careful in doing things. The news he inquired about should be true.

"That's too bad, Geerdan's people will definitely fight with us in order to avoid the Han people. He will definitely storm Samarkan! If they use heavy rocket artillery, or if the British give them other weapons, we are no match at all. The other leader said in fear.

The long-term operation has not been replenished, and the weapons and ammunition under Alabutan are already very tight.

The problem is, there's nowhere to add to it. There were so many cavalry under his command that he had to re-attach his bow and arrows to his horse.

If you face Gerdan in your current state, the result is basically a one-sided slaughter.

"Great Khan! I think we should go east. Go to Daming! The people below were still arguing, and Danzhu suddenly said this. Everyone stopped talking and looked at Danju like a madman.

"What did you say?" Arabutan's gloomy face was almost wringing out of water. If Danzhu hadn't followed him for many years, he would have been dragged out by someone by now and his body would have been dismembered.

"Danju, do you know what you're talking about?"

"Han people hold grudges the most! We have killed so many Han people, and when we go to the place of the Han people, they will not chop off their heads and kick them as balls. ”

"Danju! Are you receiving the benefits of the Han people? ”

"Danzhu, are you trying to kill us and the Great Khan?"

"You're a fucking traitor."

"Kill him!"

"That's right! Slaughtered him. ”

“……”

A series of questions rang out inside the tent, so loud that it almost lifted the tent.

"Shut up!" No one thought that Danzhu would actually shout.

Everyone was stunned, they didn't expect that it was Danzhu who stood up and shouted at this time. This is worth it, and the words to bewitch the army's heart are still so rampant, and he has already drawn his knife quickly, ready to cut down this spy who made random ideas.

"Let him speak!" Arabutan, who was sitting on the throne, suddenly stopped those guys, and looked at Danju with two eyes like a falcon.

"Great Khan! I, Danzhu, am not afraid of death, you know that. I will never betray you, you know that. I was the one who told you the truth about Batur Khan's death and the news that Geldan was going to do something to you. If I had the heart to betray, I would have betrayed at that time, and I would not have waited until today.

Today I said that I would go to the Han people, and it would definitely not be to let the Great Khan and you go to death. It's because we really don't have a way out!

Heading northwest is the territory of the Rakshasas, and listen to what the Tuhuts who have fled back have to say, how they are being oppressed by the Rakshasas. Further west was the territory of the Persians, who were not much stronger than the Rakshasas. Moreover, once the Han continue to attack, Geldan will follow us into Persia, and we will still be untenable at that time.

Heading south is the territory of the Indians, and Wu Sangui has a good relationship with Geerdan, he will definitely not take us in, and it is very likely that he will arrest you and give it to Geerdan.

We have nowhere to go except to the east! Moreover, the Great Khan of Gezhitu is a direct descendant of the Golden Family, and there is no shame in bringing us under his command as Mongols. ”

"You say, we are not going east to defect to the Han people. Instead of going to Geritu? Kogzhitu were very weak, and they were so vulnerable when we fought against the Khalkha Mongols. "I heard that I was going to defect to the Mongols, and Alabutan's mood was a little better. After all, the descendants of Genghis Khan and the legitimate descendants of the Golden Family. For the Mongols, this did not hurt face.

"That's right! We went to the Great Khan of Gezhitu because his men were not strong enough that we had to defect to the past. If his men are all arrogant soldiers, then what do we need to do?

Dormant under the wings of the Great Han of Geritu, we also have a chance to recuperate. Otherwise, if we continue to fight like this, I am afraid that in the end, we can only be annihilated. ”

No one in the tent spoke, and they all knew that Danju was telling the truth. If you continue to fight like this, you won't have a chance to recuperate for a few years, and sooner or later everyone will have to be killed.

"Has there already been contact with you by the people of the Great Khan of Gezhitu?" After a long while, Alabutan stared at Danju and asked.

"Don't hide it from the Great Han, the caravan leader I'm talking about is the steward of the Great Khan of Geritu. He promised me that as long as you are willing to be under the command of the Great Gregorian, the Great Gregorian can guarantee the safety of all of us. ”

"! The Han people hold the most grudges, the Mongols killed so many Han people, Lanzhou ......! ”

"The matter in Lanzhou was done by Geerdan." Danju stood up and roared like a tiger.
