However, Li Mingda, who hastily returned the camp, also got good news and bad news. The good news is that the thief army that took the initiative to attack the formation from Ximen in front of him was just a bluff. Therefore, under the strict defense of Wuwei, the thief army united their children and Guzang Yiyong, the thief army attacked for most of the day, but still failed to break through.

However, the bad news that followed made Li Mingda's face suddenly collapse. Only then did he remember that he seemed to have ignored something; it was the Chang'an support personnel sent by him to support the south of the city. You should know that he led his troops to fight through the north, east and west of the city, but he could not see them.

I later found out that these reinforcements were already finished. Compared with the unfavorable situation, they were able to retreat and resist some camps. The Xianyang Army and Yaozhou regiment were waiting for their support. The reinforcements sent by Chang'an were really unbearable. After just one encounter, they were fired by the bandits, and the bombs were launched by the charge and rolled up, and they were dispersed in person.

What's worse is that because our formation tried hard to gather these defeated soldiers, the spies of the bandit army were in trouble. Therefore, they were able to use a fireworks as a symbol to mark the approximate location of the food and equipment of the bandit army that followed the attack and killing. However, a special firearm was used to continuously bombard and set fire on the spot, and it became uncontrollable.

The thief army outside the camp took the opportunity to block and block the ditches that could draw water from Wangchuan, but they could only watch and burn bigger and bigger, and the heroes would not give up the large area of ​​the camp full of supplies and chariots, and clear out a partition of sufficient distance to prevent spread. This is the final situation that Li Mingda could see after his troops returned.

"This is...a little bit of food and grass, and the siege equipment... they are all made by the town for how they save money from their teeth, and they are gone!!! Why don't you go..."

Li Mingda was almost whipped hard with anger. The left-behind generals who knelt on the ground to apologize, whipped their heads and faces covered with blood, but no one dared to speak out.

However, no matter how he vented his anger and made up for it afterwards, it could not change a fact or result. That is, his original tactics of encirclement and attacking and aiding in the infantry and cavalry had already reached a disadvantage in the Duizi battle where the bandit army attacked a lot in the city; it can be said that he had lost a lot in both combat and tactical aspects.

Because the final battle between the main formation in the west of the city and the Taiping thieves unexpectedly hit the key points of Li Mingda's troops. No matter how brave and powerful the children of Liangzhou are and how powerful the armored cavalry are, they will undoubtedly consume more than other troops when the overall food and grass are insufficient, and they can no longer maintain the siege or even trap.

You should know the basic principle of "one horse (soldier) is six soldiers", and the cost of wearing armor is even more important; after a winter of consumption, whether it is the vassal department or the main formation of Guiyi Army, the bull and horse are weak and weak in the spring to make up for weight. Therefore, in the general poverty and weakness of the pass, maintaining the daily state and basic combat power of the Liangzhou official under his command accounted for most of the daily expenses;

Even in the battles in the west and south of the city, he would have no compensation for the loss if he killed more than three times the enemy. What's more, he was not able to completely defeat and annihilate the final power of the thief army in the west of the city, and had to abandon him and let him return to the establishment, the subsequent battle was even less easy to fight.

In contrast, the nephew Li Guangjin, the head of the Arctic Cavalry, was a less important secondary issue for the damage caused by the corresponding and the subsequent chain reaction of his cousin Li Mingzhen. Then he threw down his bloody whip and panted and shouted at the trembling clerk on the left and right trembling clerk:

"Then I will order the arc to send people to Chang'an to ask for help again... It is said that the Lantian bandit army suddenly broke through with all its strength, which has been defeated by our troops and killed thousands of them."

"But the surrendered Turkishi team was really unbearable, which caused the camp to collapse and almost out of control... It was really hateful and hateful. Sui Dynasty beheaded and served with the law of the army."

"I'd like to add food and grass to the camp and the Taiwan-Taiwan, otherwise once the enemy (Lantian, Dachang) attacks, our troops will be able to lead troops and retreat for a while."

However, as if he hit his worst plan and expectations, the messenger heading to Chang'an was not long after it set off; a blood-stained cavalry was helped in by his personal soldiers before dark and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"The capital regiment! The bandits in Dachang Pass suddenly came out. The Shanzhou regiment trained and retreated to the Hun Murong's entire team to fight, but was hit by the bandits' arrangement and the ground collapsed for no reason. The array was bombarded by the strange and clever firearms on the front of the city. The Murong leader disappeared on the spot, and the Guo regiment envoy in Shanzhou was missing, and the rest were unstoppable."

"Now the thief who came out of the pass have rushed to the defense formations of the three civil troops outside Lantian Pass, including Yutian, Subi, Tubo, etc. on the Bailu Plain. Please send troops to support quickly..."

Hearing these words, Li Mingda almost rushed to his head with blood and his eyes turned dark, and he almost fainted. However, he still supported his recovery and maintained his basic awakening, and his tone was quick to express his orders to the left and right generals who were summoned to the tent and said:

"Send the order, and I plan to withdraw the camp and withdraw from Chang'an after night... Lantian City is no longer in siege, and there is no need to siege again."

"Then, according to the interval of delaying one hour, the children of Xianyangjun and Yaozhou and Hezhou (Team Training) will be notified one after another... and ordered them to withdraw their camps and return them to Chang'an!"

"The capital group, why is this!"

However, the general beside him shouted in surprise:

"Our army still has the power to fight..."

"Isn't this bandit already severely defeating the thief army in the city?"

"Why give up the current good situation!!"

"I have decided, but those who dare to speak out and disobey and procrastinate will be engaged in military law..."

However, Li Mingda was in no mood to explain too much to them, let alone mention the obstacles that could shake the morale of the army.

Although he still looked down on these Taiping thieves who had lost the protection of firearms and the city walls, he could not resist the cavalry's rushing forward. He didn't know how the blocked Lantian City reached a tacit understanding and cooperation with the Blue Sky Passes more than 20 miles away. However, this also proved that the Taiping thieves were likely to still have the right to do something when they mobilized; this was no longer the situation where the troops in southern Beijing were managed by him, and could bear and correspond to it.

At least compared with these young military generals who have been growing up in foreign expansion and border conflicts and have become very enthusiastic, as one of the few veteran generals in the Guiyi Army who have followed the previous two generations of Jieshou, Li Mingda would not underestimate the slashing thieves who have occupied a large area of ​​wealthy southern areas, which can represent the upper limit of manpower and material resources to mobilize.

"What should we do if the Sanmin Ministry of Justice..."

However, just beside Li Mingda who was about to turn around, someone could not help but ask this question. However, when he met, Li Mingda, who was expressionless, said coldly and in a deep voice:

"As long as I can't save myself, I can only ask for more blessings."

Then the general suddenly remembered that the governor Li and Li Dutuan were famous in the Guiyi Army for those who were particularly honest and honest in the internal and external vassals. He was also a person who had a lot of complaints about the methods of first commanding Huai Shen Gong to marry the vassals, and then he was willing to defeat them and encourage his subordinates to marry them.

At the same time, as Chang'an's response and feedback, it was also unexpectedly quick. Soon, a team holding a blue wolf-headed star, wearing fur-edged ring armor and leather armor, was already rushing from Changlepo, Jingdong, which was waiting for the moonlight, to Wuliuyi in southern Beijing. The leader was wearing a bright armor but wearing a long fox-tailed helmet, and a kite stood on the saddle stand, looking around and looking around under the pale moonlight.

He is the nephew of Pugujun, the leader of the Uighurs in Xizhou, and is also the leading general of the Uighurs in the Central and Western Prefectures of the Western Army. You should know that there are three groups of people related to the Uighurs in the current large Western Army. It just corresponds to the three tribes that died from the grassland after the Uighur Khanate defeated the Khikas decades ago.

One branch moved to the former land of Gaochang/Xizhou (Turpan Basin), and they were called Gaochang Uighurs or Xizhou Uighurs; that is, the main part of the Pugu tribe. Another branch moved to the Chuhe area west of the Pamir Mountains, namely the Western Uighurs of the Pamir Mountains; the contemporary leader Pang Telle claimed to be the nephew of the last Khan. Another branch moved to the Hexi Corridor called Hexi Uighurs, and An Ning, a contemporary leader who was highly influenced by the sinicization.

As the origin of the Pugu family, it is even above the vassals, even far away from Pang Telle, who was known as the nephew of the last Khan in Anxi, and the Anning of the Ganzhou tribe. Because his ancestors were the third hero of the revival of Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi during the Qianyuan period, Pugu Huaien, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty. His family suffered more than 40 deaths. He was known as the loyal and martyr of the civil and military families who were both known as Yan Zhenqing and Yan Nieqing for the time.

On the other hand, the Pugu headquarters on the grassland also constituted the core ruling class of the Uighur Khan. One of the nine tribes, Pugu Huaien, two daughters of Pugu Huaien, were named Princess and were close to the Uighur Dengli Khan at that time. In the end, they were able to serve as the inspector of the Left Pushe, the Zhongshu Ling, the Hebei Deputy Marshal, the Shuofang Jiedushi, and the Prince Shaoshi, and were named Prince Daning. However, later, they were framed by Luo Fengxian, the Guanjunrong envoy, and had to run out to the Uighurs in anger to protect themselves.

Therefore, after Daizong's death, Pugu Huaien led the Uighurs. The Tubo coalition forces invaded, but persuaded the famous general Guo Ziyi to retreat and defeat him. In the end, he could only die of illness in Mingsha City. The Pugu tribe was not named in the Middle Earth and the grassland. It was not until the demise of the Uighur Khanate that the dead tribe reappeared in the northwest territory again.

In addition, there were many Uighurs who migrated from Youzhou. The Uighurs that migrated to the Hexi Corridor were scattered in Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan, Dunhuang, Tianshui, Helanshan and other places, and directly became the children of the foreign households under the Guiyi Army. In the process of Zhang Yichao overthrowing the Tubo people, these Uighurs were both subordinates and allies, and played an important role.

Therefore, when dealing with the legacy left by the Tubo Kingdom after the war, as part of the reward and reward, including the Qiang people, Tubo, Sogdian, Uighurs, Longjia, the late people, Tuyuhun, Dada and other vassals, they all obtained corresponding land and grasslands as a place to settle down, and formed the basic pattern of the current mixed Han Dynasty under the Guiyi Army.

However, later Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and Emperor Yizong of Tang both adopted the national policy of curbing the Guiyi Army. Not only did they put Zhang Yichao under house arrest and detain him in disguise, but they continued to take over the Guiyi Army's Jiedushi; Zhang Huaishen, who was left behind, was always unjustified. He also sent troops to take over the regained Liangzhou, which had been set up with Liangzhou Jiedushi, and also regarded the "endless people", Pang Teqin, An Ning, and Pu Gujun as the forces that could restrain and hinder the Guiyi Army to support him.

Even when the Guiyi Army clashed with the Uighur tribe, the Guiyi Army was not allowed to pursue and recover lost territory in the name of the Tang Jiu Shangguo, and strictly prohibited the revenge of the Khikas from attacking the Uighurs in Anxi. Therefore, with the unremitting support and maintenance of the Tang court, most of these vassal divisions that were originally subordinate to the Guiyi Army were gradually distant and they cut off their territory and left independently.

Although in the early days of Zhang Huaishen's rule, the Guiyi army still attacked from all sides and continued to expand. He also led the Han people, Tubo, Wenmo, Tuyuhun and other ethnic groups to defeat the plunder of the Uighurs in the south, and then successively defeated the Uighurs in Shazhou and Xitong (now Suganhu, Aksai Kazakh Autonomous County, southwest of Dunhuang) and captured the Uighur prince. However, it still failed to change the fact that the Uighurs in Xizhou gradually occupied Beiting, Luntai, Qingzhen and Xizhou.

In the third year of Qianfu (876), due to the disputes within the Guiyi army, the Xizhou Uighurs led by Pugujun took the opportunity to capture Yizhou (now Hami, Xinjiang) led by Zhang Huaishen. The Xizhou Uighurs where Puguchengqing was located had already become the most powerful place among the three Uighurs. Therefore, for these Uighurs, the care and care from the Tang Jiu Shangguo was truly touched.

This time, the Uighurs in Xizhou responded first to send more than 10,000 infantry and cavalry. On the one hand, Yu Gong was to repay the consistent maintenance of his uncle Tang, and on the other hand, Yu privately was just to follow the story of the Uighur Khanate in the Qianyuan and Dali periods, and to give all the money and children outside the two capitals."

His real name is just Pu Guya, who is not up to the table. Now the name of Pu Gu Junqing is specially given to him by Zheng Tang. In order to encourage him to imitate the grand achievements of his ancestor Pu Gu Huaien, he was able to have a place that was a place that was a hero in the Tang Dynasty and revived the heroes.
