"My subordinates don't know Alexander's ability and dare not assert it easily."

Wang Shouren took Chen Wansan's letter and really didn't know who Alexander was.

"But my subordinates know the origins of several heroes who joined forces with Alexander."

"The Zhizhi Shanyu of the Northern Huns was the Shanyu in the late Western Han Dynasty. He defeated the powerful Western countries such as Dayuan and Wusun Kingdom, and joined forces with the Kangju Kingdom at that time to shock the Western Regions. Later, Chen Tang, deputy commander of the Western Regions, conscripted 40,000 Han soldiers from the Western Regions, forcibly broke into the Kangju Kingdom, and forcibly killed Zhizhi Shanyu."

"Although this person is not as strong as the Maodun Shanyu, who besieged Emperor Gaozu of Han, Yu Baideng Mountain, he is also a hero."

"The Asinatumen of the Turks led the Turks to rise strongly when the Northern Wei split into Gao Huan's Eastern Wei and Yuwen Tai's Western Wei."

"In the past, the Turks were craftsmen who made irons for the Rouran tribe. Under the leadership of the Ashin Tumen, they married the Western Wei Dynasty, defeated Rouran, replaced it, and established the Turkic Khanate. From then on, the Turks became a major disaster in the north, and it was not until the Tang Dynasty that the Turks could be eliminated."

"Ashinatumen may be more difficult than Zhizhi Shanyu. I didn't expect that he was also in the Western Regions."

As a strategist of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Shouren knew everything about the ancients in the past.

Zhizhi Shanyu and Ashinatumen were all grassland heroes who were once active in the Western Regions, Mobei and other places. They came and went like the wind and had a close relationship with the Central Plains.

"What is the origin of Sulu of Tuqishi?"

In his letter to Zhang Hua, Chen Wansan mentioned three nomadic leaders who colluded with Alexander.

At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the Northern Huns Zhizhi Shanyu, the Turkic Khan Ashinatumen of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and another was the Tuqi Shi Khan Sulu during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.

Zhang Hua has limited knowledge of the leaders of these complex nomadic tribes.

But if you want to regain the Western Regions in the future, you must also erase these grassland heroes.

"There are ten tribes in the Western Turks. Tuqishi is one of the large tribes, scattered in the Yili River Basin and is under the control of the Anxi Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty."

"Tuqishi can be said to be a dog raised by the Tang Dynasty, but if the dog is anxious, it will bite its owner, and it will surrender and rebel."

"This Sulu can be said to be the most fierce man in Tuqishi. He relied on the Tang Dynasty and played with the original tribes of the ten Western Turks in his palm."

Wang Shouren lived up to Zhang Hua's expectations and easily pointed out the origin of Sulu Khan, the leader of the Broadkhishi.

"During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty and the Dashi Kingdom competed for the Western Regions, and they also needed a vicious dog to guard the western gateway."

"Sulu led the Tucao cavalry many times to defeat the invading Dashi Kingdom army, causing Dashi Kingdom to lose its troops and generals, and also married the princess of the Tang Dynasty, Turks, and Tubo."

"It's a pity that this person was paralyzed in his later years, lost his heart, and was eventually killed by his subordinates."

"If it was Sulu at its peak, it would never be underestimated. The Great Food Kingdom was a powerful empire in the Western Regions when it was competing with the Tang Dynasty for the powerful empire in the Western Regions."

Wang Shouren's simple words made Zhang Hua feel the cruelty of Tuqi Shi Khan Sulu.

The great country that Wang Shouren mentioned was the Arab Empire.

At that time, the world was in the period of Arab conquest. The whole world was the two strongest civilizations of the Arab Empire and the Tang Empire, and the Western countries had to stand aside.

Gao Xianzhi, the great defender of Anxi appointed by the Tang Empire, once suffered a loss at the hands of the Arab Empire.

Sulu led the Tuqishi tribe and gained dominance among the ten tribes of the Western Turks. He was also sandwiched between the Tang Empire, the Arab Empire, and the Tubo Empire. However, he was able to defeat the Arab Empire's expanding army to the east many times, which was enough to show Sulu's ability.

Sulu was the guard dog raised by the Tang Dynasty to deal with the Arab Empire at that time, and the Tang Dynasty did not do anything to Sulu.

But Su Lu also knew that he was a dog's fate, and in fact he was unwilling to surrender to the Tang Dynasty.

But there is no way.

Compared with the extremely fanatical Arab Empire, the Tang Empire is still more culturally similar.

"Zhizhi Shanyu, Ashinatumen, Sulu, and the three heroes of the grassland colluded with Alexander on the eastern expedition. No wonder the Anxi Army and Guiyi Army would have a headache because of this. This is not included in other Shanyu and Khan."

Zhang Hua knew that Chen Wansan mentioned three grassland eagles active in the Western Regions in his letter, but it did not mean that the only three enemies in the Western Regions were the only ones.

There were hundreds of emperors inside the pass, and there were hundreds of leaders of nomadic tribes outside the pass. Perhaps there were hundreds of people in the various Khans active in the Western Regions. These Khans or Khans were either defeated and killed or surrendered to the more powerful Khans.

During the village stage, Zhang Hua also killed the Xiongnu Yizhixie Shanyu.

"The Western Regions are now a mess, but those who can eat up the Western Regions can recruit the Anxi Army and Guiyi Army. If saving the Western Regions is regarded as a transaction, its benefits and costs must be measured..."

Zhang Hua's thinking is actually consistent with Chen Wansan, who is a tycoon.

As long as the profit exceeds the cost, including opportunity cost, then this transaction is absolutely feasible.

"I am just worried that by the time we defeat the Qin army, the Western Regions may have completely fallen under the iron hooves of the Huguan."

Based on the deduction, Wang Shouren believed that the strength of the Anxi Army and Guiyi Army could not stop the backlash of tribes in the Western Regions.

Unless the Han army completely conquered these tribes, they would not cause trouble with Alexander.

"However, the Hexi Corridor was firmly controlled by the Qin army, and our troops were difficult to pass through the Hexi Corridor. This was a dead end."

Zhang Hua thought that the Hexi Corridor was still under the control of the Qin army.

If you want to defeat the Qin army, it will take at least a year and a half, or even longer.

By then, perhaps Alexander and the three giants of the grasslands have occupied the Western Regions. At that time, there will be no supply points in the Western Regions, making it even more difficult to expedition to the Western Regions.

During the Han and Tang Dynasties, the Western Regions had been lost. After each loss, if you want to retake the Western Regions, you have to pay a greater price.

The Yeli brothers who defected to Zhang Hua looked at each other, and finally Yeli Wangrong offered a plan to Zhang Hua: "A thousand miles northwest of Helan Mountain, there is a Heishui City, which was originally the retreat left by Li Yuanhao. If Li Yuanhao plans to defeat the battle, he can go through Heishui City to the Western Regions or Mobei. He can use Heishui City as a transit point, bypass the Hexi Corridor and Yumen Pass, and directly arrive at Yizhou in the Western Regions from the north."

"oh?"

Zhang Hua was surprised by the gains brought by conquering the Yeli brothers.

Zhang Hua has always thought that only the Hexi Corridor road could lead to the Western Regions, but the nomadic tribes were in the south of the desert and the north of the desert and had more routes than imagined.

These unusual routes also mean that through the harsh terrain, the marching route recommended by Yeli Wangrong is definitely not as easy as the Hexi Corridor.

Yeli Wangrong said: "Through Hei Shui City, and to Yizhou, you must be a cavalry. One cavalry carries two war horses, equipped with saddles, horse bridles, mutton and salt that are chopped and wrapped in leather, as well as water bags... Except for one supply you can get in Hei Shui City, you are basically on the march at other times."

"Does a cavalry have to be divided..."

Zhang Hua began to think about the candidates for cavalry generals sent to support the Guiyi Army.

The route recommended by the Yeli brothers is indeed feasible, but the journey is difficult, and it is quite difficult to conquer Hei Shui City in the middle.

According to Zhang Hua's knowledge, about 20,000 or 30,000 remaining soldiers of the Western Xia fled to Heishui City and disappeared.

Zhang Hua did not intend to send troops to conquer Heishui City. If he wanted to bypass the Hexi Corridor and use cavalry to support the Western Regions, which would have an unexpected effect, he would have to conquer Heishui City.

What Zhang Hua didn't know was that the 20,000 remaining Western Xia soldiers who fled to Heishui City had been annexed by the Mongols.

Now stationed in Heishui City are the two generals of Zhebe, Chi Lao Wen, of the Mongolian Empire.

The situation in the northwest is intertwined with various forces, which is even more complicated than that in the Central Plains region, and it can affect the whole body with one blow.

"Who is willing to go to the Western Regions to support the Guiyi Army?"

"I will request a fight at the end!"

Whether it was Ma Chao, Chen Qingzhi, or even the newly joined Lanling King Gao Changgong, they all recommended themselves and requested to go to war.
