Chapter 18 - Broken Yefu Soldiers

"The countries on the west side of the dense water should not easily provoke the Mu Kingdom on the banks of the Wuhu River."

"Why is this?"

"The Mu Kingdom is on the south bank of the Wuhu River, also known as Chalju. The southwest of the country is full of deserts. About five hundred miles away is Mulu City, where the Great Cannibal Khurashan Governor's Office is located. When Mulu City comes, Mulu City will be in danger, and Bingbosilin will definitely station heavy troops there."

(Muguo, Turkmenabad, Turkmenistan, Mulucheng, and later Mare)

"Furthermore, even if Mu Guo has few soldiers, once they are taken away by outsiders, Mu Lu City's Bingbo Silin will definitely take back it with all his might. Mu Guo is the outpost of Khorasan and is its base for managing the entire Hezhong area. Its importance is still above Nasebo City."

"Then I'll wait..."

"The people of Basaigan know the best. They go south from the Kizil River and reach the source of the river for about 500 miles, and then continue to go south along the desert. After more than a hundred miles, they will find another river. The locals are called the Hualazim River, which leads directly to the Huoxun Kingdom."

(The Kizil River, a river that later merged into the Sir River in Kizil Orda, flowed through the Great Desert, the Hualazimum River, and the river that later merged into the Amu River in Turtkur, and the easternmost part of the Hualazimum Oasis)

"At present, with the power of the Great Food Kingdom, it is definitely impossible to take care of both the dense water and the Huoxun Kingdom. So, after killing the Great Food Kingdom's garrison and expelling them, they were nervous. When they saw that the Thunder Ye Army went south to attack the Great Food Army, they must be overjoyed."

"So, they will not only help you with food and grass, but also guide you and cover you up. After leaving the Hualazimo Oasis, you will walk along the north bank of the Wuhu Water. Although the geography there is mostly desert, there are still water plants near the Wuhu Water."

"Dressed as a local herdsman and made a strong cover for thirty miles. When approaching Mu Country, you will stay away from the Wuhu River, but you will still walk east. Finally, you will arrive at another oasis, which is also watered by the dense water, called Biguo."

(Namishui, later Zelavshang River, Biguo, and later Karakur area south of Bukhara)

"The people of Bi responded to the great uprising of Anguo. Since there is Mu Kingdom not far south, there will be no heavy troops stationed here. It is said that the farmers and small merchants of the uprising have become slaves of the great cannibals. Once you arrive, there will be no unresponsiveness."

"Ziyad originally had 30,000 people, of which 20,000 elite troops were 10,000 Soddian infantry. These 10,000 Soddian infantry had long been exhausted in the suppression of the Anguo uprising. Therefore, he had less than 20,000 people in his hands, and there were 15,000 near Samoto City. So in Anguo, Dong'anguo, and Heguo, the three major countries, there were only about 5,000 people."

(Anguo, later Bukhara; Dong'anguo, later auspicious day and du Wan; Heguo, later aged Kathakurgan, were relatively great powers among the Zhaowu countries during the Tang Dynasty)

"In other words, there are only more than a thousand people in each city. At present, Ziyad's army is trapped by our army in the city of Samoe, and the army of Bingbosilin is still six or seven hundred miles away, and it has to cross a few hundred miles of desert. It is impossible to pass without sufficient preparation."

"Even if you can pass, you need at least one month of preparation. So you have a month to seize Biguo, Anguo, Dong'anguo, Heguo. Remember, the army of Qiyad is raging the Mishui area at present. There are many people who hate them deeply, especially those farmers and small merchants. If they can open the city gate, it is better. If they cannot, let these slaves and ants attack the city. When the enemy is exhausted, you can wait."

"Finally, just place a camp in Bi State. The remaining efforts will be taken over by the countries including Anguo and He State. Note that these countries have just been taken down by the great cannibals. Before they have time to transport the food and property, please be careful and then divide the troops to guard them."

In the country of Bi (Karakur, the oasis south of Bukhara), there were only 300 troops here. On this day, they were captured by a large army that had been suddenly driven straight from the north bank of the Wuhu River.

This army is naturally what Sun Xiurong said about the mansion soldiers.

They are:

The first government troops of the Thunder Ye Army led by Hefu were all composed of the Nangong Division and the Geshu Division of the Naren Basin;

The soldiers of the Gongyue Division of the Sakha Company were all composed of the young and strong Gongyue Division;

Li Simu's military troops in the lunar tribe, which was originally stationed near Zhaisangbo, were drawn from the 10,000 herdsmen who moved here with Sun Xiurong west. In addition to the military troops, there were also tribes such as Khitan, Xi people, and Turks.

In the ninth year of Tianbao, Li Simu was thirty, Heifu was forty, and Saharen was fifty, but there was someone else who led this army.

Sun Xiurong asked the Renyong Dumai Yuwen Yongnu to draw a thousand cavalry from the regular army of Talas, plus Heifu, Sahalian and Li Simu, three heads of the palace, a total of ten thousand people, to arrive here along the route he assigned to Yuwen Yongnu before leaving.

That is, start from the tributary of the medicine-killed water, cross the desert, and follow the tributary of the Wuhu River to the Hualazimu Oasis.

At this time, as Sun Xiurong expected, after Huoxun Country killed and expelled the Dashi Army stationed there, they were in a panic. Just now, the Ye army arrived. How could they not be overjoyed? Naturally, they hurriedly led Yuwen Yongnu's army to Biguo.

Standing on Bi Guo's mottled city wall, Yuwen Yongnu, 27 years old this year, couldn't help but recall what Sun Xiurong had sent to him and what he had repeatedly reminded him.

"Everything is going on as Khan expected. It's strange that the news of the Great Protector comes from Renyongdu. How could he still have some news that even Renyong does not have?"

This kind of doubt is natural, because later generation Sun Xiurong also walked this path when he was conquering the Shiva Khanate entrenched in the Oasis of Hualazim, and naturally knew it clearly. Looking at the whole world, it is estimated that only he knew it except the lords and the fire search.

Just as I was thinking, a noise came from afar.

When Yuwen Yongnu heard this voice, he knew that the three living treasures had arrived.

Sure enough, not long after, Heifu, Sahalian and Li Simu arrived together.

"General Manager!" Among the three, Isaha was the oldest. Before the other two spoke, he spoke first, "My mansion barracks have been idle for about seven years since their establishment. If you wait any longer, these people will be grandpas. This time, this time, let the Gongyue team go to attack Anguo."

"Not appropriate!" Li Simu retorted, "Whether it is the Southern Bow Division or the Gongyue Division, the average age is over 30 years old, and my military soldiers in the Junmen are only twenty-five years old. Anguo is the most important stronghold for the great cannibals. I heard that in addition to the 1,500 regular troops, there are also 10,000 merchant guards who responded to them. How can the old man be promoted? He should be promoted by the young and strong man in the Junmen!"

Yuwen Yongnu looked at Heifu and smiled and said, "Where are you?"

Heifu said: "According to the fact that my Nangong Army's military soldiers were first established, and it has been nearly ten years since then. However, according to the arrangement of the county horses, all those who have to be discharged from the army at the age of 40 will be inherited by his son. In ten years, my military soldiers have almost been replaced by half. In terms of age, they are actually still between the Gongyue Army and the Junmen, around twenty-seven or eight."

"Then why don't you fight for the mission of attacking the capital of Anguo?"

The black man turned red and said after a while: "The general manager is either the Nangong tribe is afraid of death. The Nangong tribe is a tribe that started with the county horses. If the Nangong tribe is in charge, the county horses can take over Talas and even the Shashe Yechuan. How could they be afraid of death? But..."

Yuwen Yongnu naturally understood what he meant. He was a member of the Southern Bow Division and understood Heifu's thoughts very well. "As the number of herders under the Great Manchus increases, the Southern Bow Division becomes more and more inconspicuous. Heifu's subordinates may have condensed the essence of the Southern Bow Division. Once it is damaged, the Southern Bow Division will become weaker."

"There are several wives and princesses of the Tang Dynasty. However, the Protector still ranks Xiaoyue first, and Xiaoyue's eldest son was also made the prince. But strangely, it has been several years since the Protector returned to Suyechuan, but Xiaoyue has never given birth to any descendants. The black husband was originally Xiaoyue's slave, so he must be the one who swears to protect the prince to the death and is definitely unwilling to lose his troops easily."

I also thought, "Although the Slash Ye Army's government soldiers are known as the Slash Ye Army, they are practicing almost half of the year. The training frequency is almost the same as that of the Tang Army recruiting soldiers, or they are even better. As for the military equipment, except for the lack of firearms and strong crossbows, the rest is almost exactly the same as the Slash Ye Army. Such an army has not been used in recent years, which is indeed a waste."

Seeing Hefu's slightly anxious look, he couldn't help but feel a little funny. He pulled Hefu aside and whispered: "Hefu, do you think it's cheap for them to avoid fighting in the Nangong tribe, not too."

“How to say it?”

"The Protector often says that if a unit is often trained but has never experienced war, and in the long run, the combat power is better than the army that has only been trained for a few months but immediately entered the battle. It is not useful. The team is tempered from the battle, not raised."

"You have to listen to the words of the Great Protector. He is right. Besides, Anguo is the main stronghold left by the Great Cannibal at the western end of the dense waters, but there are not many people in the city. The Great Cannibal slaughtered for three days when the Great Cannibal broke through the city. At present, most of the nobles and their loyal slaves in the country were killed, and only the Great Cannibal Army and the caravan guards who assisted them in siege in the city."

"In my opinion, these caravans are all large caravans with royal status. When they saw farmers, craftsmen, and small merchants following the uprising and disrupting the business path, they naturally hated them deeply and helped the cannibalism. However, according to the news that the Protector just passed, the Protector had defeated Ziyad and surrounded the city of Samoe."

"In this way, the great merchants in Anguo have to consider it. They know that under the jurisdiction of the Thunder Ye Army, they did not force them to believe in what religion or do what kind of life. It is really the land of heaven for merchants. Now they assisted the great food army to defeat the rebel army. That is only temporary. Once the great cannibals force them to believe in the great food education and impose heavy taxes, just like the great cannibals did before, how could the great merchants not rebel?"

Heifu seemed to understand something, "The general manager means that if our army goes to attack the capital of Anguo, Abumi City, the big caravan guards are very likely to rebel again?"

Yuwen Yongnu nodded, "Why did the Dashishi Army rebell in the past? It is said that although they all believed in Dashi, their sects were different. Most of the Persians believed in the Shiites, but they came from the Dashi locality... Sunni, the previous white-clothed Dashi did not distinguish between these two sects, or they still had time to distinguish them."

"But the current black food and food must be clearly distinguished. Therefore, they instigated a great uprising. Although the people of Anguo have temporarily believed in the Great Food and Teachings, due to the influence of the garrison, they also believe in the Shiites. Regardless of their true beliefs, this cannot last forever."

"To be really good to Xiaoyue and the prince, you must make great contributions to make the Nangong Division stand out, otherwise..."
