Lower peach blossom stone, Kashgar.

The spring sunshine shines on the ancient city of yellow color, reflecting dazzling golden light, and at the same time gives people a sense of tranquility, peace and holiness.

On the wall of the Kashgar Royal City, which is closely attached to the rushing Chakmak River, a middle-aged man with a noble temperament, wearing a delicate silk robe in the style of Tianfang Buddhism, wrapped in a headscarf and a big beard, sighed leisurely, turned his eyes from the ancient city to a Buddhist temple on the other side of the Chakmak River, which had been abandoned for many years. It was a large temple built in the Tang Dynasty, and had been abandoned for many years...

An old man wearing a gorgeous silk robe and a little old, with a snow-white beard followed closely by the middle-aged man. A faraway place, there were many warriors wearing chain mail and scimitars, and the guardians led from the city wall to the city's subway.

The old man also turned around with the middle-aged man, then looked at the desolate Buddhist temple, and said to the bearded middle-aged man in Uighur language: "Khan, although the Buddhist army on the peach blossom stone is weak, it is even worse than the Khotan Buddhist army I encountered in the past, but the Khanate is not as good as the past. I think you should make up your mind as soon as possible, follow your ancestor Kadir Khan and ask for help from the Great Turkic Kingdom in the West."

It turned out that the bearded middle-aged man was actually Khan of the Karakhan Dynasty, Ahmad Arslan Khan!

It should be noted here that the so-called "Karakhan Dynasty" is actually a dynasty name, not a real country name. "Karakhan" is a transliteration of the Turkic word, and the literal meaning of the Turkic word is "black". The Karakhan Dynasty is also the "black Khan Dynasty". The Han people called them Black Khan Uighurs, which is of course a wrong name.

Because their ruling nation is not pure Uighur, although they sometimes speak Uighur language, such as the old man who is talking to Ahmad Arslan Khan, uses Uighur language.

Since neither the Karakhan Dynasty nor the Black Khan Uighurs were formally named, what was this country called? It was called "Xiao Taohua Stone", which means "Xiao China" and "Xiao Qin". However, in order to increase the momentum, the "Xiao" in "Xiao Taohua Stone" is usually omitted.

So this country is China... This is the most formal title at that time!

Moreover, although the Khan who "goes to China" converted to the Tianfang Sect, this country is not a formal member of the Tianfang Sect world. This can be seen from their Khan's name.

The official khan name of this bearded Khan is Peach Blossom Stone. Arslan Khan. Arslan means the Turkic lion. If translated into Chinese, this is the "Chinese Lion King". This is not a casual statement. The silver coins they issued are written like this... They are all engraved on the silver coins, so how can there be any mistakes?

As for surrendering to the Caliph, it is actually a misunderstanding, and there is no such thing. Otherwise, it would be called "shan"? "shan" and the Caliph are too big, so how can you kneel down if you say you are sweating?

In addition, the father of this "Chinese Lion King" is known as "Peach Blossom Stone. Bogda Khan". "Bogda" means the god of heaven or the Tianshen Mountain, and it means the god of heaven, and the god of heaven. "Peach Blossom Stone. Bogda Khan" means the god of heaven or the god of heaven.

If it is a serious Tianfang Cult, can it be called that? The God of Heaven is Allah!

However, the good days for the Khans of the Peach Blossom Khans were rude to the point of being arrogant, which was gone forever after the rise of the Seljuk Turks. Less than 20 years ago, Bukhara, the capital of the split western Khanate (the Khanate was divided into two in 1041), was captured by the army of the Seljuk Turks, and the Western Khanate was forced to become a vassal of the Seljuk Turks.

The eastern Khanate, centered on Kashgar and Balashaguon (the Eastern Khanate was called by others, but they themselves were called the Peach Blossom Stone Khanate), now faces enemies from the Peach Blossom Stone.

Although the Buddhist army on the Peach Blossom Stone is said to be very weak, the army of the Taohua Mountain Khanate has long been no longer the powerful army that destroyed Saman in the west (Perris), destroyed Khitan in the east, and defeated Khitan in the north (Peach Blossom Stone. Toutan Khan once defeated some Khitan nomadic tribes that entered the territory).

The force of this country has long been weakened, and there is no possibility of revival!

The reason for the decline of the Taohuashi Khanate is ridiculous and fatal, because the Turkic tribes of the Uighurs Garlu group converted to the Tianfang Sect. According to the laws of the Tianfang Sect, they could not sell the believers as slaves. Therefore, the Taohuashi Khanate could not select the Gulam Guards from the tribe who converted to the Tianfang Sect, and had to turn to the Qincha Grassland to purchase.

However, it is very difficult to obtain boys suitable for training to become the Gulam Guards from the Qincha Grassland. The population is small, and there are also powerful and wealthy Seljuk Turks to seize the "resources". How many teenagers can the Peach Blossom Stone Khanate, which has few silver coins in his pocket, buy a few teenagers who can be trained to become Gulam?

Therefore, the number of Gulam Guards in the Peach Blossom Stone Khanate has decreased from the maximum of 15,000 to the current two or three thousand, and it is also the total number of the two Peach Blossom Stone Khanates in the East and West.

Without a sufficient number of Guram heavy cavalry with reliable combat power, the Khanate had to rely on the Itak feudal cavalry linked to the land, as well as the temporarily conscripted tribal militias and urban militias to defend.

Can these people defeat the weak Shang Taohua Stone Buddha Army?

It seems to be a problem!

"Lion Khan", who knew that his strength was a bit weak, had to consider asking for help from the Seljuk Turks. However, the Seljuk Turks were not friends of the Peach Blossom Stone Khanate, but an enemy like the Shang Tao Blossom Stone Khanate... The west of the Khanate was conquered by these bandits from the West.

Therefore, although the "Lion Khan" had long released rumors of surrendering to the Great Turkic Kingdom for help, the envoys who asked for help were never sent out, hoping to scare away the enemy.

But in the past two days, another spy came from the Melon of Shangpeihua Stone, Sha Erzhou, and reported the bad news that the Buddhist army of Shangpeihua Stone gathered there was once again to receive reinforcements!

It is said that half a month ago, another 6,000 cavalry came from the east, including 2,000 heavy cavalry wearing black armor!

If we included the heavy cavalry that had arrived in Guasha and the other states, the Taohua Stone Army had already gathered more than 5,000 heavy cavalry... These are 5,000 gulams!

"Okay!" Lion Khan sighed, "Yu Sufu, send envoys to Isfahan and Bukhara immediately! No, you should take a trip yourself and bring the most precious gift."

The old man named Yusufu is Wang Shu of Lion Khan, and is also the prime minister of the Khanate. The Turkic word is "Ilik".

"Abide by the order, great Khan." The old man had long persuaded Lion Khan to ask for help from Seljuk imperialism, but Lion Khan always hesitated and dragged it until now.

Obviously, he did not inherit his father's wise and magical martial arts at all, and he did not know whether he could lead the Khanate to defeat the enemy who came to the Peach Blossom Stone.

Prime Minister Yu Sufu, who received the Khan's will, did not leave immediately, but then made a second suggestion.

"Khan, you should pay attention to the 30,000 Khitans in Ye Mili and the Alimali Grassland!"

This is another trouble that makes the old prime minister Yu Sufu feel terrible!

The 30,000 Khitans placed in the Ye Limi and Alimali grasslands are a historical problem. Those people don’t know where to offend the Khitan emperor. They were sent to the Taohua Stone Khanate for nomadic and harassment more than a hundred years ago to aid the Gaochang Uighurs who surrendered to the Khitan.

As a result, these people were defeated by the powerful Trogan Khan and surrendered, and were placed in the Alimari and Yemili grasslands. They have reproductive and residing for more than a hundred years, and now they have grown to 30,000 tents... There are about 200,000 to 300,000 people!

"Aren't they very weak?" said Lion Khan, "heep, horses and women to us every year... If they were not Khitans, Ben Khan would want to buy teenagers from them and train them to become Guram."

"Khan," the old prime minister shook his head, "The reason why they were bullied by us for hundreds of years is not because of their weakness... These people have not converted to the Tianfang Sect until now, and have never forgotten that they are Khitans! Their weakness is just because of our iron forbidden, so that they cannot get weapons. But once the army on the Peach Blossom Stone enters the Alimali and Yemili grasslands through Gaochang Kingdom, these Khitans will get the weapons they want! Then, 100 years of hatred will turn into flames!"

"Then, what should I do?" Lion Khan asked, "Does it send troops to destroy them?"

Of course this is impossible, because the army on the Peach Blossom Stone will invade at any time, and the army of Lion Khan must go to Khotan to stand by. How could it be that it could travel thousands of miles to Ye Mili?

"Khan," said the old prime minister Yu Sufu, "It's better to let these Khitans return to their hometown.

The Khitan Emperor who was on the Peach Blossom Stone would be very happy to learn that his tribe members had returned...at least it would allow him to remain neutral in future wars."

Lion Khan frowned and said, "That's 30,000 Khitans! You can offer a lot of money every year. If you put it back, will the loss be too great?"

At this time, he was still thinking about money and property... The old prime minister sighed quietly.

"And Ye Mili is very far away from Khotan..." said Lion Khan, "As long as Ben Khan's army can defend Khotan, the army on the peach blossom stone will definitely be defeated."

Can you hold on?

The old prime minister thought about it and it seemed that there was no big problem. Chief Hakmu, who guarded Khotan, was Mahmoud, a Gulam warrior named "Berry" (wolf). He had 800 Gulam warriors and 500 Itak cavalry under his command, as well as tribes of more than 20,000 people and urban militias.

In addition, because the news of the invasion of the Peach Blossom Stone has long been heard, the defense of the city of Khotan has long been strengthened, and all the trees that can build siege equipment around have been cut down. They are also ready to strengthen the walls and clear the fields at any time so that the enemies from afar cannot obtain the necessary supplies. In this way, even if they are difficult to defeat, they will be defeated due to lack of supplies.
