Sun Xiurong looked at Li Jixun again.

"Where do you know the key to this?"

Li Jixun said: "Is it in that jaguar? If jaguar is really that powerful and has 80,000 victories, they can compete with the Uighurs, how could they form an alliance with Geluo?"

Sun Xiurong nodded, "Absolutely, they are all Turkic tribes, they are just different dialects. For the Turkic Khanate, the Uighurs and Geluo were both Cang Turkic, but the Jagas may not even be considered Cang Turkic."

"I heard from the Hu Shang that the people of the Jiegas can smel and identify iron ore, but they can only smelify copper, but they cannot smelify iron. They most hope that it will rain. In their king's tent, oh, that is, where the Ami tribe is located, like Naren, there are mountains on both sides, and there is a valley washed out by rivers in the middle."

"After the heavy rain, the iron ore on the mountain was exposed, and the people of Jiegas sold the iron ore to the Turks. Adding the marten skins, they were two major items used for trading."

"The river valley is very large, with about seven or eight hundred miles from east to west, and more than fifty miles from north to south. Since it was occupied by Dubo people in the past, it was called Dubo Basin."

(Author's note: It is the bottom of the Tuwa basin in later generations, in the area of ​​Tanuwulianghai)

"It is different from those who do not work in farming and do not grazing cattle and sheep. The people of the gas can not only farm, grazing, and smelting copper ore, so they cannot be underestimated. Because they are in the northernmost part, they cherish many marten rats. It is a mountain north of Ubud Suhu Lake. It is said that they occupy the basin north of Ubud Sushan. Why do they still consume a large amount of Dingkou and fight with the Gelulu people and Uighurs to protect the places near Ubud Suhu Lake?"

(Ganman Mountain, later generations of Tangnu Mountain)

"That's because Ubud Suhu Lake is the northernmost place that Hu merchants can reach. Going further north, Hu merchants are unwilling to go there. After saving Ubud Suhu Lake, the people of Jiegas kept the trading place. The iron ore and marten skins in their hands will not worry about sales. By the way, their bronzes are also quite distinctive and are also one of the items that Hu merchants are willing to purchase."

"The royal family of the Ami tribe is known as the descendant of Li Ling of the former Han Dynasty. In addition to tents, shacks and diwali, Age also has a royal city. The Jianhe River that Su Xijie just mentioned was called after the intersection of two rivers was formed. It was at the intersection, which was the place where the royal city of Jiegas was located."

“In the northeast of Ubud Su Lake, there is a secret passage that can directly reach the Jianhe River Basin…”

"Governor, you mean..."

"Yes, the governor of Gas has a large population, but he cannot dominate the northern part of the Mobei region. It is nothing more than the simplified regulations. Just like the Xi tribe and the Khitans, the rules of the Khitans are constantly changing, but the Xi tribe still uses the regulations from hundreds of years ago. In time, they will definitely be annexed by the Khitans."

"Due to the post-Turkish turmoil, the road between the harem people and the Tang Dynasty was blocked, but we were not affected. Su Xijie went to the valley between Jinshan and Sayan Mountains to explore, and had a good relationship with the Geluo people and Li Jixun. You can go to the harem people. You can go to Lake Haraus together, and then break up from there, one continues to go west and the other goes north."

"I, the Grand Governor of the Jun tribe, should have some reputation at this time. Moreover, in the battle of Tanshihuaitai, most of the people like Gelulu and Jiegas were unknown. They did not know, and Hu Shang would also bring the news. When you arrive in the southern part of Udemao Mountain, you will definitely meet the Basimi people in the southeast of it. They used to be nomadic between Ubusu Lake and Haraus Lake."

"At the beginning, I was still nomadic in Sayanling, and I must be familiar with the terrain there. Since I defected to me, it is very likely to choose one or two familiar people in it. It is not the specialty of the Han people in the Central Plains. People in the grassland can do it, such as Gelu and the Jiegas people, who have no reason to refuse us."

"The southern foot of Wudejiao Mountain is naturally occupied by the Uighurs. You can only walk along the northern foot of Jinshan Mountain. The two places are no less than two hundred miles apart. No matter how powerful the Uighurs are, they cannot take care of them. You can just pretend to be a caravan and go straight west with a generous look."

"The territory of the ges is both in the northern desert and borders the Western Regions. If it could be formed with it, it would be possible to get through it once and for all in the future. If it weren't for the ges there, the Geluo people would have moved to the Western Regions long ago. Therefore, we must make good friends with the people of ges."

Su Xijie and Li Jixun thought to himself: "Why is the Grand Governor so familiar with the terrain near Wude Mountain? Could it be that Hu Shang told him, but when we met Hu Shang, we were all here and didn't hear this? Does the Grand Governor have other secret channels?"

......

In order to prevent the enemy from knowing that the troops were about to migrate, Sun Xiurong did not tell anyone else.

In fact, at this time, although he was a human being for three lifetimes, he still did not understand two things.

First, after decades of development, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty has developed to an extremely high level, but it is not impeccable.

The most important thing is that in any dynasty, if you raise a strong army, you must have huge financial expenditures. The Tang Dynasty has a vast territory and the four barbarians are in subdued. That is to be achieved by stationing a large number of high-quality troops in the border areas.

It is reported that there are 650,000 regular soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, including 500,000 located in Jiannan, Hexi, Longyou, Anxi, Beiting, Shuofang, Hedong, Fanyang, and Pinglu Jiubian!

In this way, the vast mainland is actually only 150,000!

And dealing with the Turks, Khitans, Hedong, Fanyang and Pinglu in the Bohai Sea combined are nearly 200,000!

This is also an important reason why An Lushan served as the governor of the Three Towns in history and frequently traveled between Chang'an and Fanyang, and dared to rebel after understanding the virtuality and reality of the mainland.

Furthermore, after the demise of the Eastern Turks, a large number of Turks, Xi people, Khitans, and Goguryeo people in northern and southern Mohe moved to Hedong and Pinglu, Hebei. The three towns under An Lushan were extremely excellent and had very strong combat power. Fortunately, Shuofang, which had equally strong combat power, was still in the hands of the Tang Dynasty. If even Shuofang was lost, the Tang Dynasty would definitely perish!

The top-heavy ones are the biggest loophole in the Tang Dynasty.

Secondly, during the Tianbao period, the system of government troops completely collapsed. First, with the expansion of the territory of the Tang Dynasty, the government troops in the mainland had been stationed in border towns for longer and longer, and the costs were getting higher and higher. The government troops had already been overwhelmed and went bankrupt one after another. Local tyrants took the opportunity to annex the land for a hundred years.

Secondly, based on the fact that the border towns could quickly respond to the situation, and the fact that the payment of wages, food, grass, and weapons from the mainland was huge, Li Longji and Li Linfu also asked the governor to take charge of the local finances and allowed the towns to raise these money and materials on their own, which actually led to the prototype of separatist rule in the feudal towns.

Of course, when Li Longji was in power, he believed that everything was under control. In addition, he and Li Linfu agreed that the Hu people had no foundation and had no connection with the powerful families of the time, so it was easier to control them.

Therefore, although the former military soldiers had to raise their own materials and weapons, they did not have to pay taxes. After all, they remembered the emperor's kindness, but now everything was sent by the governor. In their hearts, it is estimated that the governor's kindness was even heavier.

Therefore, it is not easy to make up for the quality of the border town by one point, and it is not easy to make up for it quickly. In recent years, An Lushan has lost 15,000 troops in the Bohai Kingdom, the Wu brothers have lost 10,000 in Guizhou, Wang Zhongsi has lost 20,000 in the northern part of the Mo, 20,000 in Nanzhao Kingdom, and 5,000 in the West Sea. How easy is it to make up for it as soon as possible?

This is another important reason why the imperial court still tolerate Sun Xiurong's existence and tried its best to instigate the grassland tribe to weaken him.

Of course, people were generally superstitious at this time. When Sun Xiurong's name of "thunder and fire" gradually resounded, even if the court had the intention to annihilate it in one fell swoop, he was still suspicious or nervous.

It is better to believe that it exists than to believe that it does not exist. What if Sun Xiurong is really the incarnation of the God of Fire?

Not only the Tang Dynasty, but also in the more superstitious grassland tribes, it is naturally even more so.

So, at least for a short time, Sun Xiurong and his sect were safe.

When Li Jixun and Sun Xiaoke led the team to set off, the chiefs of Dugu's tribe Qu Tuyu were the leader, and the chiefs of various tribes proposed to add a "Asan" prefix in front of Sun Xiurong's "Bogda Khan".

Asan, the Turkic and Khitan languages ​​at this time all mean "thunder", while the Manchu language in later generations was "Akyang", which was mostly derived from it.

Asan Bogda is Thor!

The Thunder God's Khan sounded a bit inconsistent, and it also had the meaning of "destruction" and "destruction". Sun Xiurong naturally would not accept it and still retained Bogda Khan. But somehow, Asan Bogda Khan's name spread like wildfire, making him feel a little crying without tears.

Asan reminded him of "Asan", "Does he want to be the lord of India?"

Sometimes, he would think jokingly.

Even so, after his name was passed to the Western Regions, it was highly anticipated among the Zoroastrians.

In ancient Persian, the God of Thunder was called "Vanya", which also has authority and deterrence. In the Zoroastrian Church, as the other side of the Dark Heavenly God, there are also several generals under the command of the Venerable Light, similar to the envoys under the command of Venerable Light. Among them, the "Destruction King" is called Melogu, and in fact, the initial meaning was Thunder God!

Therefore, among the Zoroastrians, Sun Xiurong was given the title of "Vanya Melogu". After learning that he was going to migrate back to the Western Regions, the Zoroastrian leader was overjoyed and asked the envoy of the Miaohuo Steyran and Myanmar to mix in the caravan to the Junmen.

When he saw Stay's destiny of Myanmar, Sun Xiurong was also very happy and hurriedly asked him about the recent situation in Hezhong.

"Dalang"

Steyran seemed a little happy on the Burmese surface.

"The cannibal seems to be facing civil strife"

"oh?"

"In Khorasan, a young man named Aibu**** appeared. He was only two years older than Dalang, but he was very appealing. He had become the supreme mentor of the great pedestalists in the Khorasan area. According to the news sent back by the merchants, wherever Aibu went, the Persians who came to listen to his lectures were crowded with people."

"But I heard that this person is very dissatisfied with the Dashi court. He has such a great influence, which is naturally too dangerous for the Dashi court. However, in addition to being a good lecture, this person is also quite proficient in military and meticulous things. The court has secretly dealt with him several times and let him escape. Moreover, in public, he has nothing else that obviously violates the laws of the Dashi court, and the court is not good for him to deal with him openly, otherwise it will cause civil rebellion."

"I also heard that in addition to Khurasan, there are many lecturers like Aibu, and they are in various governors of the Dashi Country. The court is now in a state of trouble, so how can I care about the river?"

"Oh? Where is Anxi?"

"Dalang", Steyranman sighed, "Compared with the great cannibal, we are more afraid of Anxi now."

"Why is this?"

"Since Gao Xianzhi became the deputy governor and the military envoy of the four towns, his surveillance of the countries in the Hezhong period has been much stronger, and the financial reports he asked for have increased more than the time of Fu Menglingcha..."

"Isn't Cheng Qianli still there?"

"Cheng Qianli almost doesn't care about anything, not to mention that the first batch of treasures Gao Xianzhi asked for, the woman gave to Cheng Qianli, so..."

“…”

"Dalang, fortunately, there is a Talas Governor's Office. It is said that Anxi is very afraid of the Governor's Office. If it were not for the Governor's Office, we would have a hard time waiting for it."
