Temujin, who advanced to the Fergana Basin, knew the reality and reality of the Western Liang Kingdom. When he was the deputy general manager of the Dashi Guards of the Western Liao Dynasty, he had read countless reports on how the Western Liang Kingdom declined and corrupted!

By the way, the Mongols in this time and space are a bit like the Cossacks of the Western Liao Dynasty. After the Jurchens ran to Kiev Rus to enjoy their happiness, they occupied the Volga River, Ural River and the northern shore of the Caspian Sea. While they were farming and pastoral, they also became the main source of the Western Liao Guards and mercenaries. Temujin is a military leader of the Western Liao Guards, and the backbone of his military group, and they were all from the Western Liao Guards. They were all civilized people, not barbarians in the later generations of this time and space, and also thin gold calligraphy from Temujin (Temujin is a fan of Zhao Ji) in the antique market!

So Temujin is actually a Western Liao warlord who was born in a Mongolian noble. His war with the Western Liao court was a bit like the Anshi Rebellion, and it was basically a civil war. It was just that the Mongolian warlords wanted to seize the throne of the Khitan Emperor. This civil war can also be seen as a continuation of the struggle between the old saint Pusuwan and the emperor Zhilugu. The backbone generals of Temujin's subordinates who were born in the Guards were almost all expelled after the Guards failed. Because the Guards were recruited through the Church of Light, and their cultural education was also under the responsibility of the church, so Pusuwan had many supporters in the Guards. Her failure seriously damaged the combat effectiveness of the Dashi Guards.

The Persians, who accounted for the majority of the population of the Western Liao Empire, were actually neutral in this struggle. Anyway, they were outsiders on both ends, and they had to believe in the God of Light. The Persians could just watch the fun. Otherwise, Temujin's victory would not have been so easy.

Let’s talk about Xiliang again. Some of the reports Temujin saw were from envoys of the Western Liao Empire, some of them were from the sects of the Guangming Tianli Sect stationed in Xiliang, and some of them were from scholars from Dabriz University.

All reports clearly told Temujin that such a situation moved west to the rich river and the land of the seven rivers. In a comfortable and comfortable life, he became increasingly decadent and no longer had the spirit of pioneering the West in the past.

On the one hand, there are many rich cities, oasis and basins in the river, which allow the Xiliang knights who settled here to live a comfortable and peaceful life.

On the other hand, the relationship with the Western Liao, Jin tent and Western Song Dynasty also stifled the expansion space of Western Liang. We are full of powerful friends from all directions, and it is not easy to fight out. And our territory is so comfortable. How can the entire country have the motivation to explore?

Although Tianriko, who was at the top of the ages, had not forgotten her dream of running towards the ocean, the entire state machine was slowly decaying in peace.

In addition to comfort and difficulty in expansion, Xiliang also has an insurmountable difficulty, which is that the local power is becoming increasingly powerful, while the central Xiliang royal court slowly rots in the fertile and easy-to-defend Fergana Basin.

Setting up the Wang Ting in a basin surrounded by mountains, with only one entrance, and fertile land, complete irrigation facilities, and no worries about water and drought was originally a long-term plan. In order to build this peaceful nest, Tianli Zizhangli spent the last ten years of his life almost in constant wars.

However, this king who built a land of happiness for future generations did not expect that a comfortable life without pioneering opportunities would turn the bravest Knight of the Heavenly Li to become a group of happy country landlords within decades.

The Tianli Knights family outside the Fergana Basin formed three knight groups, Shachi, Chachi (Tashkent) and Samarkand, in the long struggle of intrigue.

Among them, the leader of Saiye was a descendant of Han Shizhong, and the surrounding area of ​​Chachi was under the control of the Gao family from Lingzhou, while the Samarkans were jointly controlled by several "grand clergy families".

They had self-respecting troops outside the Fergana Basin and did not obey the orders of the royal court. Each family was dominant on their own territory.

The officials in Xinliangfu City did not care about these things. Most of them did not even leave the Fergana Basin, which was like a paradise. Most of the remaining officials had only visited big cities like Saiye, Samarkan, and Chachi.

No matter how far away the place is, only officials who have served as envoys have been there.

Running to the ocean or something is basically just a fantasy of the Xinliang Mansion Palace...

So when the news that Temujin's army entered Huzhanghe reached Wang Ting of Xinliang Mansion, Wang Ting, who did not care about the outside world, was shocked.

How could anyone dare to attack the powerful Xiliang Kingdom?

After being shocked, the underestimation of the enemy and the arrogance were inexplicably filled with the Wang Ting of Xinliang Mansion.

Temujin is just a barbarian on the Western grasslands and a vicious dog raised by the King of Xiliang. How dare he challenge Wang Ting's majesty?

Such a vicious dog must be taught a hard lesson!

The crazy Mongolians must pay the most painful price for Temujin's stupid behavior!

The Tianli Knights, who had not experienced war for decades, had an extremely high enthusiasm for fighting at this time. No one thought of using solid walls and clearing the fields and defending the city transformed into a bastion to drag down the enemies coming from afar.

All the knights want to show their courage in this war, and if possible, they will earn some land for their own family.

Driven by this mentality, 20,000 iron-armored knights, 20,000 auxiliary cavalry and 10,000 infantry were quickly summoned and drove out of the Fergana Basin and arrived outside the basin. On the banks of the Huzhang River, they were waiting for Temujin's army from afar.

...

Several scouts rushed over and found Temujin's nine-white flags, and then ran to the front of Temujin's mount not far away, and were stopped by the Killer Qixue Warrior. After passing the command, a cavalry rushed to Temujin's horse. The knight turned off the horse and knelt on one knee.

"Report to the Khan, I found a large camp of the Western Liang army outside the city of Edala! The camp is extremely large, and it can station at least 50,000 troops!"

"Suddenly?" a young man next to Temujin interrupted, "Is that an ancient city?"

"Yes, it's quite old." Temujin smiled, "and it has not been transformed into a bastion, so the city defense is not worth mentioning."

"Father Khan, it seems that the enemy wants to have a field battle with us!" said the young man excitedly.

Temujin nodded: "Torai, if you give you ten thousand cavalry, how do you plan to deal with them?"

This young man turned out to be Tolei, Temujin's youngest legitimate son, and was deeply influenced by his father's true martial arts.

"Father Khan," Toree thought for a while, "I will let my cavalry show weakness and the enemy, and then lead them to the desert on the west bank of the Huzhang River to circle.

These Tianli Knights who have lived a superior life and have never suffered any hardships must be less able to withstand hardship than our Mongolian warriors. So as long as you take them around the desert for a few times, tens of thousands of Tianli Knights will be dragged down and exhausted. It will not be difficult to deal with them at that time!"

Temujin nodded in praise, "Okay! I am worthy of being my Temujin child! Since you can use a 10,000 team to deal with the tens of thousands of Xiliang troops in Edala, then I will give you a 10,000 team! Go and take those stupid Tianli scholars into the desert west of Huzhang River. Remember, don't fight with them! Although your 10,000 team can definitely defeat 50,000 Tianli Knights. But the lives of the Mongolian warriors are too precious... Even if they trade one for three, it is not worth it."

Insufficient population is the biggest difficulty Temujin faces. His Mongolians had only 95 thousand households, which is less than 100,000 households, about one million people.

This number was enough before the era of guns and cannons. In the era of the rise of Mongolians in history, it was not easy to kill a Mongolian who was wearing several layers of armor and had surprisingly good martial arts and physical strength.

Unfortunately, in today's time and space, when these "Mongolian Cossacks" began to rise under the leadership of a generation of geniuses, smoothbore guns and cannons have appeared for almost a hundred years!

Although there was not much progress in gun technology in this century. There was no flintlock rifle or rifled rifle. The only improvement was that the musket design gradually became lighter. The emergence of sleeve bayonets. The sleeve bayonets first appeared in the Zhou State. It is said to be the invention of Wu Haogu, the first generation of Zhou State, in his later years. However, they were not valued. It was not until the Second Central Plains War (sent between the Western Song and Eastern Song and New Zhou) that they began to gradually be accepted by the army of the New Zhou of the Song Dynasty.

What followed was the sharp increase in the level of firearming in the New Zhou army of the Song Dynasty. The sword and shield soldiers were completely eliminated, and the proportion of spear soldiers among infantry also decreased sharply.

Although muskets and artillery on the Western battlefield are far less popular than those on the Eastern battlefield, they will still cause major damage to the Mongols.

That's just a firearm, my parents will be in vain!

Therefore, when Temujin challenged Xiliang, a country in Xia, he had to consider the killing and damage that guns would bring to the Mongols.

"Abide by the order!" Tolei saluted Temujin, then took the order and rushed towards the team of ten thousand people he led.

This time Temujin brought a total of 10,000 teams, eight of which were Mongolian 10,000 teams, one was Georgian 10,000 teams, and the other was Khwarezm 10,000 teams.

After giving Tolei a 10,000 team, Temujin still had nine 10,000 teams left. These nine 10,000 teams were divided into three parts by Temujin, each with three 10,000 teams, and rushed to Bukhara, Chachi and Tianmen Pass respectively.

The 50,000 infantry and cavalry led by the fourth generation of Tianriko Zhang Zhao was easily led to the south of the Huzhang River by 10,000 Mongolian cavalry led by Tolei, thus losing the opportunity to stop Temujin's main force from advancing east. Although Tolei had only 10,000 cavalry led by Tolei had only 10,000, but had strong cover ability, so Zhang Zhao's 50,000 army could not figure out where the main force of the Mongols was? That was why he followed Tolei across the Huzhang River and plunged into the desert.

After Zhang Zhao's 50,000 army followed Tolei's 10,000 people and wandered around for several days. After coming out of the desert exhausted, bad news about the Mongolian army surrounding Bukhara came.

Zhang Zhao, who was inexperienced, was shocked by the bad news. Despite the exhaustion of the troops, he headed straight to Bukhara, while Tolei took the opportunity to lead his troops to follow. In the end, Zhang Zhao's army was attacked by 40,000 troops led by Temujin and Tolei on the open plain west of Bukhara City.

Although the number of people was slightly superior, the exhausted Xiliang army still suffered a crushing defeat. A total of 30,000 people, including Tianlizi Zhang Zhao, were killed, and more than 10,000 were captured. The remaining remnants abdicated to Samarkans, met with the Xiliang army stationed in Samarkans, and then fled to Tianmen Pass. Before the Mongols approached Tianmen Pass completed the blockade (in fact, it was also a basin-type defense system). The Mongolian army later completed the blockade of Tianmen Pass, completely blocking the main force of Xiliang Kingdom in a basin surrounded by mountains.

The solid bastion defense line was not so easy to break, but the cities such as Samarkans, Chachi, and Edal, who lost the command of the Xiliang King's Court in the Fergana Basin and reinforcements, soon fell into the hands of the Mongols.

When he learned that Samarkans, Chachi and Edal were occupied by the Mongols, the Suiye General Administration, who was in a bad situation in the royal court of Fergana, immediately asked for help from Chang'an, thousands of miles away.

Now Xiliang can only count on the rescue of the sect leader of the Western Song Dynasty. What Temujin is most worried about is the massive intervention of the Western Song Dynasty. However, he had already analyzed the situation before attacking Xiliang, and felt that the Western Song Dynasty had just experienced the failure of the Central Plains War and had a tense relationship with the Great Zhou and Eastern Song Dynasty. He should not launch a large-scale Western Expedition, right?

...

"Xiliang was defeated? How is it possible?"

The emperor who ruled the Western Song Dynasty now was Zhao Xin, the great-grandson of Zhao Ji, and his temple name was Song Guangzong.

The temple name is quite glamorous, but the country under his rule still finds little bright prospects.

He took over the country after the Second Central Plains War, and what he took over was a mess. His country suffered a terrible failure in the Second Central Plains War. Both the New Zhou and the Eastern Song Dynasty showed terrible strength in that war.

Those are two real world empires!

Among them, the Great Zhou has most of North America (divided into the United States affiliated to the Great Zhou and the autonomous dominance directly under the Great Zhou), most of the South American coastal areas, some African coastal areas, some Nanyang islands, Japan (province), South Island Province (Hawaii), Yinzhou, Binhai Prefecture, Arctic Prefecture (Eastern Siberia), Xi State (Mongolian Plateau), and some messy islands. The entire country has a land area of ​​more than 33 million square kilometers!

The land area of ​​the Eastern Song Dynasty was smaller than that of the Xinzhou, but it was also very amazing. The country's overseas territories include the Xinsong (Australia), the Xindong Dynasty, some South American coastal areas, some African coastal areas, some Nanyang islands, as well as the peninsula, Siam, Jiaozhi, Ceylon Island, and some other islands. The mixed territory is added together, and there are more than 20 million square kilometers.

In addition to the large amount of land they own, the total population of the New Zhou and Eastern Song dynasties has also grown rapidly in the past few decades. The population of the two countries has exceeded 80 million!

While the population is growing, the two countries also monopolize most of the metals on this planet. Whether it is gold, silver, copper, iron, tin, and lead, the output and ownership of the two countries can reach about 90% of the total!

The advantages of land, population, resources, as well as marine transportation and convenience also greatly promoted the factory handicraft industry in the Eastern Song Dynasty and Xinzhou.

Although the era of the industrial revolution has not yet arrived, the scale and excellent craftsmanship of the three major handicraft centers of Jiangnan, Xuhai and Yanjin are enough to make the Eastern Song and New Zhou countries firmly occupy the top two positions in the world's handicraft production, and no one can subvert their advantages.

In this case, the Western Song Dynasty chose to go to war with the New Zhou and the Eastern Song Dynasty at the same time, which was tantamount to suicide!

However, the Western Song Dynasty, who committed suicide, could not die for a while. First, the defense advantage of the Lenin was not completely broken. Although the defense bonus of the Leninin was greatly reduced compared to decades ago, it was not completely broken. Therefore, the Western Song Dynasty was bleeding in front of the Lenininin in the Eastern Song Dynasty and the New Zhou defense line. The Eastern Song Dynasty and New Zhou, who were counterattacking, were also blocked by the Lenininin in the Western Song Dynasty.

Second, the situation of three points is still there. Neither the Eastern Song Dynasty nor the New Zhou Dynasty dared to attack the Western Song Dynasty with all its strength, for fear that the other party would confiscate their hometown!

Under such circumstances, the Western Song Dynasty, which was not strong enough, was able to survive and continue to maintain the situation of confrontation with the Eastern Song and New Zhou.

Song Guangzong Zhao Xin worked hard to maintain the country's half-death. After Zhao Xin, who was unwilling to sink into the east, hurriedly turned his attention to the West, hoping to rely on Temujin's rise to attack the Western Liao and Jin tents, and then get the opportunity to advance westward to seize the sea outlet.

But he never expected that Temujin had become a master-devouring evil dog, and it caught people off guard when he took action. But this may not be a good thing. If you don’t go east, then try it west!
