Xiao Ming wanted to let Ye Su help him to fight the Western Turks, this was not only to give Ye Su a chance to repay his kindness, but he also had his own ideas, the Western Turk army was mainly based on light cavalry, and the action was swift and came and went like the wind, which was a characteristic of fighting with the Mongols, and Xiao Mingxiang took advantage of this characteristic.

But judging from the original history, the tactical application of the Mongols is more advanced and more reasonable, and the tactical method they rely on crisscrosses the entire Eurasian continent, and Xiao Ming wants to see it in advance, and he has other intentions, although the Nayan tribe is not many in number, but the combat effectiveness is still relatively strong, which is the basis for the rise of Temujin in the future, and Xiao Ming does not want him to have this kind of dependence.
But what to do, Xiao Ming already has an idea in his heart, and after meeting himself, it is difficult to say whether Temujin can still come to this world, if there is inertia in history, there will still be characters, but what should happen will not necessarily continue to happen!
These are Xiao Ming's thoughts, others naturally don't know, and they should have been invited by Xiao Ming, and they are naturally full of joy, but there are many issues involved in the expedition to fight, and this matter still needs to be discussed by the elders of the root tribe, so he said that he is very willing to follow Xiao Ming, but he must go back and prepare, and the two sides agreed to meet in Suzhou in three days.
So far, Xiao Ming's task has been completely completed, and there are a lot of cattle, sheep and horses raised by the Zha and brothers, and these things have now become the trophies of the Naiyan Ministry, Xiao Ming only divided the number of more than 2,000 war horses, and the rest of the divisions were all classified into the Naiyan Ministry, which also made the warriors of the Naiyan tribe respect him more and more.
In order not to delay the time, it has been six or seven days since he led the team out, so Xiao Ming decided to return to Suzhou, so outside the Zha and brother departments, Xiao Ming and Ye Su should say goodbye, and the Tiger Guards rode away in a neat formation, and they should also escort the population and booty of the entire tribe back to their original camp.
Xiao Ming led the team to escort the war horse back, this time not only recovered the war horse, but also recovered the emperor Zhao Hao and received a Mongolian light horse, Xiao Ming knew that he should definitely come, he was not worried about the Mongols breaking the contract at all, everyone returned, there was nothing to say on the road, two days later, the Tiger Guard returned to the starting point of Suzhou.
The whole Suzhou has now become a large number of military horses distribution center, but more than 10,000 tiger guards are actually not good at riding, from Suzhou to Shazhou there are military contact points, in order to prevent another military horse robbery time again, and the previous large number of military horses have basically arrived in Shazhou.
After Xiao Ming returned to Suzhou, he unexpectedly saw Qian Baguang and Alima, Alima specially put aside political affairs to meet Xiao Ming, and waited again after learning that Xiao Ming went north to the Mobei grassland to pursue military horses, who knew that Xiao Ming returned with military horses the next day, and old friends had not seen each other for many years!
Alima and Xiao Ming are old, no longer in the prime of life, both of them are embarrassed, asked about the situation after the separation, Xiao Ming admires Alima's talent even more, today's Shazhou is not the same as before, Alima has always adhered to Xiao Ming's original strategy of developing agriculture and commerce, and at the same time did not forget to plant trees and green.
Now the area of the entire Shazhou oasis has been more than five times the original size, since the establishment of the Hexi Autonomous Province, this area has become an important middle ground between the region and the Western Regions, because Alima itself is a Uighur, a large number of Uighurs in the Western Regions have used the Hexi region, which has a great role in promoting the local commercial development and agriculture and animal husbandry.
At the same time that Xiao Ming was carrying out large-scale migration activities in the Central Plains, the continuous influx of population into Hexi and the Western Regions made the original cultivated land area tight, but in the face of a large amount of wasteland and next door, Alima did not let these immigrants come to him, but organized and planned to carry out the greening work next door first, and then open up the wasteland!
All this requires the support of a large number of industrial products, and in this regard, Cao Ju and Yang Qizhong have given absolute support to Alima, which has also led to the industrial development of Ningxia Autonomous Province, the foundation was laid at that time, and now Xiao Ming and Cao Ju want to establish a large-scale industrial base in Ningxia Autonomous Province The goal is better achieved.
Xiao Ming gave a high evaluation of everything Alima did, and Alima naturally said that he was ashamed! , The development of the war is not serious now, and Alima also has some understanding of the situation in the Western Turks, after all, there were still many Turkic people in the Western Regions at the beginning, and the customs and ethnic conditions were very valuable information for Xiao Ming.
The two talked freely in the middle of the night, on the second day Xiao Ming ordered the Tiger Guards to rest, and in the afternoon of the third day, he should have led the five thousand light cavalry to join Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming was very happy, now he can be regarded as a strong soldier and a strong horse, and ordered the whole army to set off, except for the baggage equipment and ammunition transported by train to the sandbank, the rest of the people waited to go on horseback.
Two or three days later, they arrived in Shazhou, and joined the forward Tiger Guards who had already arrived there, and everyone was relieved to see that Xiaozong Zhao Hao had returned without incident, and after the two armies converged, they rested for a day, and set off the next day, the target was the ancient city of Qiuci in the southern and western regions, and Ye Lihong, Sigdali and Yang Qizhong were waiting there.
After saying goodbye to Alima, Xiao Ming led the army to go, and along the way, Xiaozong Zhao Hao really appreciated what the desert scenery is, the vast plateau is next door to the boundless, and the sandstorm is rare in the northwest plateau in winter! This was undoubtedly a shock and edification to him, which made the young emperor's heart infinitely open-minded.
The emperor participated in the march and war as a member of the army, obeyed the laws and regulations of the army, and did not dare to have the slightest transgression, which has never happened in ancient times, in Xiao Ming's army has always adhered to this set of laws of honor above all else, it is not terrible to do wrong things, what is terrible is the honor lost for this, this deep-rooted sense of honor has deeply affected Zhao Hao, so that he is also careful to act in accordance with this set of rules!
The army is less than 30,000 people, including 5,000 Mongolian light cavalry, the system of the Tiger Guard not only affects the Great Song Emperor Zhao Hao, but also affects the leader of the Naiyan tribe.
The northern ethnic groups have always looked down on the Han people in the south, thinking that they are timid and afraid of death and are mercenary, but in fact, this is the conclusion they have come to from the Han merchants who do business with them, and in fact, after they really came into contact with these southern barbarian Han people, the original prejudice was all thrown away by themselves.
Xiao Ming's Tiger Guard is an army with a fine tradition, each generation of Tiger Guard will emphasize the importance of honor to the new Tiger Guard, this army is armed and trained by Xiao Ming in modern language, not only the military appearance and posture are wrong, but the combat discipline is also stronger than all the armies in this world!
People like to follow the advanced things unnaturally learned, Naiyan tribe these people are no exception, the general Mongols marching and fighting are very casual, they are advocating freedom in character, so Xiao Ming does not deliberately ask them at all, as long as they follow the big army.
But gradually he found that these Mongols were learning from the Tiger Guards, learning the way it was forbidden to do so, everything had to be lined up neatly, the tents and camps were getting neater and tidy, and there were no more impromptu performances during the march, although Xiao Ming did not ask them to do so, but when he saw this, he just smiled.
Arrived at the ancient city of Qiuci in a few days, there are many small cities along the way, like mushrooms after a rain, that is the benefit of the developed commerce and agriculture in the entire Western Regions, Ye Lihong and Sigda Li went out of the city for thirty miles to meet Xiao Ming, the two and Xiao Ming have not seen each other for more than ten years, and now they can't help but burst into tears after meeting!
"The King's ----!" The two stepped forward and knelt down on one knee to salute, their voices choked, Xiao Ming took two steps to help the two of them up, looking at the two subordinates, more than ten years have made the temples of the two of them white, Xiao Ming felt uncomfortable, he patted the shoulders of the two and sighed.
"The two generals have taken the town of the Western Regions for Xiao, you have really worked hard all these years!"
"The king is talking about that, the last two of them have the grace and trust of the king, and they can establish some achievements in the Western Regions, aren't they all referring to the king's guidance?" Sigdari said with a smile.
Ye Lihong said: "I haven't seen you for a long time, but the king is a lot harder and older than me!" ”
Xiao Ming pointed to his red eyebrows and said, "It hasn't changed color yet, which means that I am not old, and I can still do a few more big things with my brothers!" After saying that, he laughed, and Notoshi and Sigdari also laughed together.
In addition to the development of agriculture and industry and commerce, ore mining and smelting have also gradually developed, and now all parts of the Western Regions are shrouded in green, and due to the large number of pine trees planted, in winter, all parts of the country are still green.
In recent years, the climate in the Western Regions has also been getting better, and the rainfall is also increasing, which is very conducive to agricultural production, and the desert Gobi not only did not encroach on the fertile land, but even retreated.
Asked about Yang Qizhong's recent situation, Xiao Ming learned that Yang Qizhong was actually still in the Western Liao Kingdom to recuperate, and listening to Sigdali's introduction, he also learned that Yelu Dashi's health is not optimistic now, in order not to delay time, Xiao Ming decided to rush to the capital of the Western Liao Kingdom as soon as possible, which was originally called Asha Han City of Balasagon!
And this time it was Ye Lihong who followed Xiao Ming to go together, and after the troops rested for two or three days, they started again, and entered the Western Liao Kingdom in a mighty way, and arrived in Asha Hancheng in a few days, and the officials of the Western Liao Kingdom came to meet Xiao Ming instead of Yelu Dashi, and Xiao Ming learned that Yelu Dashi had fallen ill!
In fact, it is no wonder that Yelu Dashi itself has basically run out of oil, and if it weren't for the Western Regions to provide him with assistance during this time, his Western Liao might not even be able to survive this winter, that is because the entire Western Liao country, today's food shortage is again, and a large number of Khitan people in the country have moved east.
Xiao Ming asked Ye Lihong to accompany him to visit Yelu Dashi and Yang Qizhong in person, Yang Qizhong was very ashamed after seeing Xiao Ming, he was hit by a pillar destroyed by the fire, his internal organs were damaged and his legs were broken, through these months of cultivation, his body slowly recovered, Xiao Ming did not blame him, but just comforted him with kind words.
But when he saw Yelu Dashi, he secretly screamed in his heart, that is, judging from Yelu Dashi's complexion, Yelu Dashi was already terminally ill! After not seeing Yelu Dashi for many years, he was already old and unpresentable, and Xiao Ming couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
"King! I didn't expect to see the king again in this life" Yelu Dashi still calls Xiao Ming the king, which shows Xiao Ming's position in his heart.
Xiao Ming motioned him not to speak, and stretched out his hand to touch his pulse, only to find that he couldn't save Yelu Dashi, and now he can only use the golden needle to regulate his body, and he can't say how long he can prolong his life, because what Yelu Dashi got was "cancer!" "This is non-obvious liver cancer!
Xiao Ming felt very helpless, the relationship between the two was very complicated, Yelu Dashi established his own merits and realized his own value, but there was no good ending, Xiao Ming has been with him, the two talked a lot, Xiao Ming was conditioning his body while also arranging for Yelu Dashi to return to his hometown in Liao, he knew that this was what Dashi himself hoped the most.
Under Xiao Ming's arrangement, Yelu Dashi finally returned to the east, and three months later, a generation of heroes Yelu Dashi died of illness on the north bank of his hometown Liao River......!
