This time in the Western Regions, Guo Jia is trying his best to win over the tribes of the Western Regions, even if they temporarily succumb under Timur's obscenity, it doesn't matter, as long as they don't think that Timur can really defeat the Yuan clan and gain a firm foothold, then they will not work hard for Timur, these local snakes are perfunctory or attentive, and the effect can be very different. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

To win over these people, of course, it is necessary to pay equal attention to grace and power. And this favor is easy to do, this power is not easy to use casually, at this sensitive moment, it is not used properly, but it is counterproductive, and now there is a better deterrent than the annihilation of a powerful horse thief that makes the entire Western Regions look sideways? They are actually equal to an army, and they are more powerful than many tribes in the Western Regions.

Moreover, here, the orthodox forces and the good people do not have a unified belief and a unified sense of national belonging, let alone a group of horse thieves and robbers who have milk is a mother, once the Timur soldiers win, it is precisely these horse thieves and bandits who are most likely to become his most powerful minions, they will not only use Timur's strength to harm the people of the Western Regions, so that the lives there, but also will be determined to take refuge in Timur, using the geography of the Western Regions that they are more familiar with than anyone else, to cause greater harm to the Western Liang army.

Now that there is an opportunity, of course, it can be annihilated!

When the generals began to move to the rear, Xing Tian also received instructions from Guo Jia, and he immediately ordered the soldiers to retreat steadily with the golden drum trumpet, so as not to be self-defeating and really disrupted by the horse thieves.

The biggest difference between a horse thief and an army is discipline and orders. No matter how strong their individual combat strength is, they are a rabble in front of a well-trained army, and in the chaotic moments of battle between the two sides, the army can make an orderly strategic retreat according to orders, and the horse thieves are disorganized even if they attack. None of the horse thieves saw something strange, because as soon as they fought, they found that this Ming army was much stronger than the enemies they had encountered before, and they were outnumbered, and even outnumbered.

At this time, the other party chose to retreat, and those who were a little scheming knew that there was a deception, but the red-eyed horse thieves did not have an effective command system, and their tradition was that the head of the house should charge ahead, without soldiers. As a result, some of the veteran dignitaries could not even find their leaders in time, let alone convey some orders with banners or gongs and drums.

As soon as the Xiliang army began to retreat, the horse thieves who were in a fierce battle were in great spirits, and they screamed and pounced on them as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. The Xiliang army retreated to the land of three arrows, and the horse thieves fought and chased the three arrows, and began to try to go around the flanks to form a cutting strike, at this time, the Xiliang army, which had been retreating, suddenly launched a counterattack after hearing three short trumpets, and cut into the horse thieves' ranks in a cone-shaped shape.

The horse thieves did not have a fixed camp, and they had nothing to hold onto, their purpose was to attack, to plunder, some of the horse thieves had already attacked the two wings, trying to cut the camp of the Xiliang army, this Xiliang army that broke through in the middle quickly killed through the team of the horse thieves, so that they were equivalent to killing the rear of the horse thieves.

Then the blow of terror began......

The corpses were all over the field, and the five thousand brave and difficult horse thieves in the Western Regions kicked the iron plate, and were killed by one of the most elite teams in Xiliang, and the lucky horse thieves squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, their eyes did not dare to look at them, but they listened to the movement with their ears pricked up, and from time to time there was a scream, which made their hearts tighten.

After a while, I only heard the sound of horses' hooves, and then there was a long neigh, and I stopped not far from them: "Lord Qiqi, the horse thief has escaped less than 100 horses, and the thief leader has been killed in battle, this person is called Naizhong, and he is the younger brother of Naiyi, the leader of the little whirlwind thief, the head is here, please check it!"

A faint, clear voice followed: "Clean up the battlefield, take the prisoners away." Bring this head, even if it's a welcome gift for the sandbank!"

These horse thieves don't hate anyone now, they hate the bastard who was Pandao'er at the beginning, what did the Xiliang Army escort a rich gentleman to the Western Regions, several carts on the team were full of gold and silver, and beautiful women, it was really a blind dog's eye, if Lao Tzu could leave alive, he would definitely skin him!

After a long journey, Guo Jia has arrived in Dunhuang.

Guo Jia insisted on coming here for three purposes, the first is of course for the top priority, this trip to the Western Regions, can fight for one more, can win one, Timur side is equivalent to reducing one, fighting for one, what you get is double the help, this account can be drawn.

The second is to take the opportunity to learn about the Western Regions. The more in this sinister juncture, the more we can clarify the people's aspirations and understand the strength and weakness of the forces of all parties, if the strategy is appropriate, unfavorable things can also produce favorable results, the most difficult thing to break the old and establish the new is that the old and the new are mixed, it is difficult to abandon and stand up, the cruel means of war, but it is precisely the best means to break and stand up, make good use of it, you can use the war to break all the altars and jars, and then establish new forces here, and the credit for expanding the territory is great.

Third, Guo Jia must have an understanding of the reality of the Timur army. Timur is a strong opponent, and it is extremely dangerous and irresponsible for him to rashly attack an opponent he does not understand, which is extremely dangerous and irresponsible for the entire Xiliang army, and this is precisely the top priority of this trip.

Although the first two goals can benefit from the long-term, the third purpose is for this war, but there are priorities.

From a distance, more than a dozen people of different sizes were waiting in formation, and at a glance, people couldn't help but be moved.

If you want to gain a foothold in the Western Regions, you have to constantly fight with the sky and people, without a strong armed force is not possible, these teams in front of you, the two largest teams on the left and right sides of the avenue are dressed in Mongolian-style robes and leather armor, naturally they are the personal soldiers raised by the powerful and wealthy families in the sandbank, although their formation is not neat, but they all exude the murderous aura of Chong Xiao, that kind of momentum, by no means can be shown by training alone, they have obviously fought a hundred battles, and they are real warriors.

Guo Jia in front of a thousand horsemen and about a minute, urging the horses forward, compared to the formation and the front of the sandbank people and horses in the number of people and horses is much less, but the momentum is completely overwhelmed, this is Xiliang Jing cavalry, in terms of murderous spirit is not inferior to the other party, and the neatness of the team is a hundred times better, even if they are marching, they are like an iron plate, as if the whole team is lifting the reins at the same time, stepping at the same time, and moving at the same time.

Immovable as a mountain, its scurry as a forest.

This is a truly battle-hardened and mighty army, and the neat costumes and weapons are equipped with weapons, which adds to the shock brought by this uniformity. The local families and powerful families in Dunhuang saw that they were unconsciously broken, and some arrogance in their hearts was gone. No wonder Guo Jia dared to come to the Western Regions at this moment to venture into danger, such an iron horse is really good.

"I have also seen the envoys of the Heavenly Empire. “

"Dole has seen the Envoy. “

After seeing the ceremony one by one, the lord of the largest wealthy family in Shazhou also took turns to say: "I heard that the lord has encountered a horse thief nuisance on the road?"

The cavalry sent to meet him had already heard some rumors, and hurried back to report it, and he had just heard about it, and he was a little apprehensive when he heard it, so he pleaded with him as soon as he saw Guo Jia.

Guo Jia smiled faintly: "In the Central Plains, there is a city in ten miles, and there are still small evils. In the Western Regions, thousands of miles of yellow sand, uninhabited, and between the cities, they are far apart, and a few thieves are nothing. ”

He glanced back, Xing Tian immediately waved his hand, and a hundred and ten people were escorted out of the array, Xing Tian said proudly: "The little whirlwind in the Western Regions is so bold that it actually attacked the honor guard of the adults, the head of the thieves Naizhong has already given the head, and the five thousand horse thieves have fled more than a hundred horses, and the rest of those who have survived are here!"

Xing Tian's words immediately caused an uproar among the Dunhuang magnates.

They only heard that Guo Jia's team encountered horse thieves halfway, and thought that it was a small thief who kicked the iron plate, but they didn't expect that it was the Little Whirlwind of the Western Regions, the most powerful horse thief force in the entire Western Regions, and they didn't expect that they would actually dispatch 5,000 people, which is almost half of the people of the Little Whirlwind.

Look at Guo Jia's army in front of him, there are only 2,000 at full level, with 2,000 against 5,000, the elite cavalry of the "Little Whirlwind" of 5,000 people, but only 100 cavalry escaped, and even his brother Naizhong was killed on the spot, this ......

The magnates and gentry of Shazhou have been dealing with Naiyi for many years, and the strength of the two sides is basically half a catty, and Guo Jianeng won more with less, and cleanly eliminated this prepared horse thief, and he had little loss.

When they saw Naizhong's frozen human head, they looked at Guo Jia with only awe.

These sandbar magnates are local emperors, and the local military, political and judicial affairs are all in their hands, and in the places they rule, the power is greater than that of the vassal kings in the same place, and in fact they are the countries within the country.

Therefore, the deference they showed when they first met Guo Jia was largely just politeness in the officialdom, and they didn't take him too seriously in their hearts, but now they really have respect. In this place, only fists are recognized, whoever has a big fist is respected, Guo Jia cut melons and cut vegetables to kill the little whirlwind who dared to offend, and immediately got their awe.

Seeing that the ceremony was over, the stars of the Shazhou magnates welcomed Guo Jia into the city and entered the mansion of Yelun in Dunhuang City.

Guo Jia noticed that the architecture of Yelun's mansion was distinctly Islamic, and it was clear that he was also a Muslim. Guo Jia imagined that this oasis in the desert for thousands of miles, no matter how rich it was, the environment was limited, but as soon as he entered the mansion of Yelun, he unexpectedly found that the luxury and wealth here were comparable to those of princes, and the desolation he saw on the road was completely gone.

What surprised him even more was that there was wine at the banquet.

In fact, this is Guo Jia's misunderstanding, just like the beginning of Buddhism's doctrine is to abstain from eating meat, this meat is not the current concept, what we now call meat, at that time it was called fishy, meat refers to Wuxin, that is, garlic, onion, onion, onion, Xingqu. As for meat, the monks eat whatever the donor gives, and there are no special requirements.

For the time being, the lame emperor Timur, who launched the Eastern Holy War, was also an alcoholic hero, and it is not surprising that these Mongols who converted to Islam in the Western Regions still maintain their drinking habits.

The spacious and gorgeous living room was lit with the fragrance of other countries in the Western Regions, and on the scarlet carpet, a group of graceful and charming girls from the Western Regions danced along with the exotic songs.

It is rare to see such an original song and dance in the Western Regions, Guo Jia watched it with relish, and he couldn't help but smile when he saw it with Dole and others, and only gave a slight gesture, and when the song and dance was over, these beauties who were full of flowers and branches and fragrant fragrance did not retreat, but turned to the banquet, sat down next to Guo Jia, Xing Tian, Wei Yan and several court officials, and served wine diligently.

Xing Tian is a Tatar official, with a bold temperament, and he is also very familiar with this set, he grinned loudly, he only mentioned it with one arm, and then hugged the beauty on his knees, hugged her slender waist, asked her to take a sip of wine, and then pouted and leaned up, while on the other side Wei Yan was a little shy, but his hands were secretly uneven...

The two beauties snuggling up to Guo Jia had never been treated like this, so they couldn't help but hug Guo Jia's arm and took the initiative to put the plump and towering, round and moving part up.

Guo Jia is a little unbearable, he can't compare to these heroes of the Western Regions who have been exposed to it since childhood, and have long been accustomed to this kind of behavior, Guo Jia will still be shy in such a profligate manner in public, although he has also been frivolous, but it is not all in private occasions with good friends......

Guo Jia hurriedly sat upright, got rid of the entanglement of the two delicate babies, and smiled at Yelun and the others: "Ah! I am very pleased to enjoy the singing and dancing at this banquet today, everyone, please drink!"
