"The little prince, Guviga, led his ministers and the people to welcome the heavenly soldiers of the Song Dynasty. The barracks and halls are ready, but please let the two commanders move..."

Outside the Qingyang Gate in Gaochang City, on the banks of the official road left by the Tang Dynasty, a group of Gaochang Uighur officials wearing red robes similar to the Tang Dynasty style, with a crown and hat that looked a bit like a Jinxian crown but had a very tall ear. They surrounded their kings, Gupika, also dressed as Han emperors, welcomed the "Great Song Dynasty Heavenly Soldiers" from afar.

I don’t know if it was because of the influence of "few birth transfer", the Gaochang Uighurs' monarch and ministers were very popular at this time. If I didn’t look at their faces carefully, I would have thought I had encountered a group of Tang Dynasty residents. Moreover, what they spoke was not Uighur language, but the Central Plains Mandarin with a straightforward and erotic style.

Behind these Tang-style monarchs and ministers, on both sides of the official road, to Qingyang Gate, all the way were full of men and women wearing Han-style clothes, and many monks wearing monk's uniforms were holding clay pots and kettles of large and small, probably the meaning of "eat pots and slurries to welcome the king's army"?

If you hadn't known that you were in the Western Regions thousands of miles away from the Central Plains, Yelu Dashi would have thought he was in the Song Dynasty!

While getting off his war horse, he said to Xiao Heda: "Xiao Junji, it seems that there is still the legacy of the Han and Tang dynasties here!"

Xiao Heda smiled and said, "Although Xizhou and Yizhou are called Uighur lands, they are mostly Han children. All customs are the same as those of Middle-earth, but there are more monks, and there are almost no Taoist priests and Confucian scholars. Going westward, it is difficult to see the legacy of the Han and Tang dynasties."

Yizhou is the Hami of later generations, and it is also owned by the Gaochang Uighurs. Compared with Xizhou where Gaochang City is located, the degree of sinicization is higher. Not only because Yizhou is closer to the Central Plains, but also because Yizhou is one of the eleven states recovered by Zhang Yichao, the hero of the late Tang Dynasty, Zhang Yichao recovered not only the Hexi Corridor and Hehuang land, but also Yizhou and Xizhou located on the Xinjiang land in later generations. However, Xizhou was actually controlled by the Uighur leader Pugujun, nominally surrendered to the Guiyi army, while Yizhou was directly controlled by the Guiyi army. Therefore, the people of all ethnic groups in Yizhou were able to be deterred under Zhang Yichao's "thunder power" and were "trained with Chinese style, and all the good will be trained, and the customs changed."

Later, due to the civil strife of the Guiyi Army, Yizhou was trapped in the Gaochang Uighurs, but at this time the Gaochang Uighurs itself was quite sinic, so the customs of Yizhou were not changed. When Xiao Heda and Yelu Dashi led 18,000 "Hexi Army of the Song Dynasty" through Yizhou, the local people thought that the royal army had arrived and were happily preparing to be a Song people... There were even many local tyrants in Yizhou who prepared gifts to Yelu Dashi and Xiao Heda for official positions.

I don’t know how eager I am toward Middle Earth is that I have surpassed the Han people in Youzhou!

After learning that the Khan Pugupiga of Gaochang Uighurs was not only not angry, but also very happy because he himself was also interested in the Song Dynasty!

He is also a Chinese! Even the "Lion King" of the Karakhan Dynasty was Chinese, let alone this Gaochang Khan Pugupika who could speak fluent Chinese?

Moreover, at this time, the Gaochang Uighurs had an urgent feeling of a disaster. The upper Uighur warriors of the Gaochang Uighurs believed in the Manichi religion of family planning, while the lower Han people believed in the Buddhism that they obeyed. The entire country was not fighting against the Five Slags, but fighting against the Zero Slags. If the Karakhan Dynasty hadn't been a little scared to see the Khitan, they would have destroyed the Gaochang Uighurs long ago.

The Khitan is in a bit of recession now. The monks who have a great say in the Gaochang Uighur Kingdom (the Manichaeism was already very depressed when it was passed down to Pugupika) were naturally afraid. Seeing the outbreak of the Song Dynasty, they wanted to hug their thighs.

Puguviga is no exception. He is the leader of the evil pagan in the words of Karakhan. If he is caught, he will definitely go to the fire.

So when he heard that the "Great Song Dynasty Heavenly Soldiers" came, he was so happy! He had already found a high-ranking monk in the country to write a memorial to reciprocate his father, and he would become the son of Tian Khan Zhao Pijia! He would no longer be afraid of the "Lion King" next door.

"I am the general officer of the Hexi Army, Xiao Heda," Xiao Heda first introduced himself, and then Yelu Dashi, who had always looked quite noble in his side, said in a respectful tone: "This is a nobleman of the Great Liao Dynasty, Yelu Dashi, Doctor of Tianli, Yuntai Palace!"

What's going on with the nobles of the Great Liao Dynasty? Yelu?

Pugupiga was stunned for a moment, looking at Yelu Dashi with a smile on his face, and suddenly became nervous.

Are you the Great Song Dynasty Heavenly Soldier or the Great Liao Dynasty Heavenly Soldier? This cannot be mistaken, it is life-threatening!

He quickly raised his head and looked at the flag. That's right, it was "Hexi Army General Military Machinery Xiao", and it was written in Chinese. If it were the Great Liao Heavenly Soldiers, it should be written in Khitan!

"Is this person..." Pugupiga smiled awkwardly, and pointed at Yelu Dashi and asked.

"Sha family Yelu Dashi, the eighth-generation grandson of Emperor Taizu of the Great Liao!" Yelu Dashi smiled, "But the Sa family did not serve as an official in the Great Liao Dynasty, but instead joined Mr. Yuntai to seek the truth. This time it was to spread the Confucian principles of nature!"

"Confucian principles?" Puguviga himself believed in both Buddhism and Manichaeism! It was the same as the Song Dynasty's integration of Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism.

Buddhism and Manichaeism also have a tendency to unite in the Gaochang Uighurs, and this trend is ruining the Gaochang Uighurs, a Western Region country with a very high degree of sinicization.

Because Gaochang's Manichi religion is more orthodox, and is different from the alienated Manichi religion in the Central Plains. Although it also emphasizes the theory of "the struggle for light and darkness", the doctrine is too abstinent, and Buddhism is also a religion with low desires. The result of the addition of the two is the low desires of the entire society. The population is constantly decreasing and military power is approaching depletion.

Confucianism, because of its flaws in the world view, could not gain a foothold in the Gaochang Uighurs after losing the direct support of the Central Plains court. Therefore, Pugupiga only knew that there was a Confucianism, and did not know the reason, nor did he know what the law of nature was.

"Your Highness the Prince is going to preach in my Gaochang?" Pugupika respectfully called Yelu Dashi the "prince", but he felt a little resistant.

There is already Buddhism and Manichaeism in Gaochang, and there is no need for Confucianism to come back...

"It's not preaching in Gaochang," Yelu Dashi smiled, "but it's about going to Ye Mili to spread Confucian laws of nature!

By the way, Your Majesty Khan, the 30,000 tents of the Khitans on Ye Mili have not changed to the Tianfang Sect yet, right?”

"No, it has not been changed to the sect yet." Pugupiga breathed a little relieved. He had guessed that Yelu Dashi came for the 30,000 tents of Khitan people from Yemili's grassland.

He smiled and said, "Your Highness, the Khitans of Ye Mili were in Karakhan, but they always looked up to the Daliao. They have been looking forward to the Daliao Heavenly Soldiers for a hundred years... If the prince can cast the flag of the Daliao Dynasty, they will definitely submit to the prince."

The 30,000 Khitans who settled in Yemili Grassland had to wait for more than twenty years in their original history before they could meet Yelu Dashi who migrated from Kedun City and his Khitan army. These people later became the basic foundation for Yelu Dashi to establish the Western Liao Empire in Central Asia.

"What religion do they believe in?" asked Dashi.

“Shamanism.”

"Okay!" Yelu Dashi laughed and looked at each other with Xiao Tieniu and Han Dagou beside him.

Now I have come to the right place! Thirty thousand Khitan herdsmen are! And they are under the oppression of the Tianfang Sect and are still insisting that the original shamanism is very primitive, and there is no strict doctrine or powerful religious forces, so it is easy to convert. Therefore, after Yelu Dashi learned from Xiao Heda that 30,000 Khitan remnants were always controlled by the Karakhan Dynasty on the Yemili grassland, he immediately began to educate them.

Dashi himself is the royal family of the Liao Kingdom, Xiao Heda is also the descendant of the Liao Kingdom, and he can borrow some elite troops from the Hexi Army. As long as he can get the help of the Gaochang Uighurs, it should be no difficulty to attack the Yemili grassland to liberate the Khitans there.

With the assistance of the 30,000 Khitans from Yemili Grassland, Balashaguen and nearby Saiye City are not the things that Yelu Dashi and Xiao Heda have in mind?

As soon as Balashaguen and Suyecheng were obtained, the Karakhan Dynasty lost its foundation. It was impossible to support the entire Khanate by the power of Kashgar. The Balashaguen, which was outside the Fergana Basin, was surrounded by the richest land in Central Asia. Once it was taken down by Yelu Dashi and Xiao Heda, the Chinese Lion King would be finished.

Yelu Dashi said immediately: "Khan, I and Xiao Junji went to Ye Mili for a few days in Gaochang. Now I can borrow some food, grass, cattle, sheep and horses from you?"

"Okay, okay!" Pugupiga nodded repeatedly, "Then the country (he doesn't know which country it is) but he has his life, and the little khans are all obedient!"

...

"Captain Hakmu has determined the location of the tunnels excavated by the pagans on the peach blossom stone."

"Hmph, what a bunch of fools."

In Stone City, Mahmoud Berry was listening to his subordinates' reports in his mansion, with disdain and ridicule on his face.

He originally thought that the army that had bloomed on the Peach Blossom Stone was very powerful, but he didn't expect to fight a lot, at least he wouldn't attack the city. After so many days under Shitou City, he was digging a tunnel in addition to digging moats and besieging the city.

How could this outdated tactic be able to capture Shitou City? You should know that the Saint Seiya of the Tianfang Sect, the Kingdom of Gutian, also encountered the problem of not being able to build siege equipment, so they dug a lot of tunnels... Therefore, Mahmoud Berry had already prepared and had people buried large listening tanks in Shitou City. Once they found that the enemy's tunnel was approaching, they could immediately dig the t-shaped trench.
