Chapter 689
War can make people grow the most. In the past six months, the city of Khotan has been in fierce battles. The Uighurs and Tubo, together with nearly 200,000 people, as well as small cavalry sent by the Black Khanate, were constantly raiding.
In the past, it may be a force that could make Khotan surrender, but this time Khotan was not afraid. They were able to use muskets skillfully and learn to bandage them simply.
With the women in the city, whenever they fought, they rescued wounded soldiers from the city walls. Once, they even participated in the war in person and killed two Uighurs with muskets.
The little princess who killed the enemy and made meritorious service did not receive any reward, and was also confined to her father Li Congde and would not be allowed to come out for ten days.
When Brother Guo Xing heard the news, he took the time to make two more muskets and stuffed them to the two little princesses.
"That musket is a love affair. Junior brother, you have a great future!" Zhao Er laughed unscrupulously.
Brother Guo Xing glared at him. During the period when he was guarding the city, Zhao Er was like a ghost. Sometimes he couldn't see him for a long time, and sometimes he swayed around him every day. Without Ye Hua, he looked at him. This kid completely let himself go.
"Correction you, even if you are a master and apprentice, I will become a disciple earlier than you, so you should call me senior brother!" Brother Guo Xing paused word by word, "Your current situation can be considered as a deserter. When the master comes, you will be chopped down with a crack!"
Brother Guo Xing said, and even scratched his neck hard.
Zhao Er wanted to laugh, "Junior brother, your level of telling cold jokes is so high now, and you are almost amused by you... What am I busy with these days, how can you not know? Tell you, my senior brother has put his eyeliner into the Black Khanate, and there is even a caravan on his way to Baghdad!"
Brother Guo Xing was quite surprised. Baghdad, isn’t that the heart of the Great Food Empire?
What is the ability of the senior brother?
He didn't care about the question of arguing with Zhao Er, so he hurriedly pulled him and said hurriedly: "Let's not talk about that far away, why did the Uighurs suddenly withdraw their troops? Do you know this?"
Zhao Er laughed, "Of course I know, look at this!"
As he said that, Zhao Er took out a document like a magic trick. Brother Guo Xing browsed it quickly, and then he was so shocked that he couldn't even close his mouth!
"My God, Your Majesty actually accepted a female general!" Brother Guo Xing was really scared.
Zhao Ershen felt the same, "I was shocked, but this move was too clever, and the Uighurs were defeated by this move!"
"How to say it, is that General Murong is very good at fighting?"
"No!"
Zhao Er waved his hand and said, "You said, in the Western Regions, do there be more men or women?"
"This...is there any need to say? How many young and strong people have died in the years of war? Of course there are more women!"
"Which tribe is important, or is it important for men or women?"
"Men are responsible for war, and they both want to loot and protect tribe safety. It is of course important." Guo Xingge said: "But women have to have children, grazle livestock, prepare food, and maintain tribal stability... they cannot be underestimated."
Zhao Er stretched out his thumb, "Okay, your knowledge has grown quite fast! Then I ask you, what will happen to those women guarding the tribe when the Uighurs are attacking Khotan?"
Brother Guo Xing scratched his head, "I will be worried, I will be scared! If I defeated, they will not have nothing!"
"clever!"
Zhao Erxinran said: "At this time, someone told them to surrender to the Great Zhou Dynasty, give them land, pastures, and protect them so that they can live with dignity and live well! Do you think those Uighur women are still stupid enough to wait for their husbands to come back?"
"Of course... no!" Although Brother Guo Xing felt that the couple could not be so ruthless, this is true on the land of the Western Regions, and those women were stolen by the Uighurs from other tribes. Strictly speaking, they were just the property of the tribe, not the masters of the tribe!
Instead of waiting for her husband to come back and continue to live a life without hope, it is better to seek refuge in Dazhou, get land, and a household registration symbolizing Dazhou's identity!
The most important thing to hold in your hand.
This is not a difficult multiple-choice question.
Yang Ye and Shi Shouxin took their men and horses to the Uighur tribes. After solving the left-behind young and strong men, they immediately issued the new policy of the Great Zhou. The women and soldiers who surrendered in advance went to do their work. In less than a day or two, the women packed up all their belongings, helped the elderly and the young, drove cattle, sheep and livestock to Shazhou.
As the fourth largest force in the Western Regions, the Xizhou Uighurs collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"What a trick to get rid of the firewood from the cauldron! My brother's hand is amazing!"
Brother Guo Xing danced excitedly and was overjoyed, "You said, even if the Uighurs go back, will they find that their daughter-in-law has become someone else's wife, and her face should be so green!"
"It's just that my head is green." Zhao Er said: "In my opinion, the Uighurs are in danger, and they will fall into the trap when they go back. However, the situation in the Black Khanate is a bit bad!"
"What's the meaning?"
"The news I just got was that the Black Khanate had reconciled with the Saman Empire. The Saman Empire dispatched 200,000 troops to support the Black Khan!"
Brother Guo Xing is confused. Isn’t it the Great Food Empire? Why is another Saman Empire emerging?
It turned out that the Great Food Empire once spanned three continents and was very powerful. When fighting against the Tang Dynasty in Talas, it showed extraordinary national strength.
However, the Great Food Empire quickly declined, and the places where they were conquered revolt one after another. The unified Great Food Empire was in name only. The part next to the Black Khanate was the east of the Great Food Empire, controlled by the Saman Dynasty, and to the west of the Saman Dynasty was the Bweshi Dynasty that currently occupied Baghdad.
Going westward, there are many forces entrenched in Egypt, Spain and other places. In short, it is a pot of porridge.
Although the Great Food Empire is mixed, there are many ambitious people among them.
It turned out that the Saman Dynasty tried its best to attack the Black Khanate and wanted to annex the Black Khan.
But since the two elders were killed, they have changed their minds. They wanted to seize the Western Regions in the name of helping Hei Khan, which is the eastern province in the mind of the Great Food Empire.
As long as the Western Regions were taken down, the Saman Dynasty would be qualified to command the entire Dashi Empire.
To put it bluntly, it has a bit of a sense of respecting the king and expelling the barbarians.
The Saman Empire reconciled with the Black Khanate, and the two sides could produce more than 300,000 troops. In addition, the number of people pieced together from other places was even more scary!
"The 150,000 Uighurs' troops retreated, and Khotan will soon welcome a 500,000 army! Junior brother, the pressure is quite high!" Zhao Er patted Brother Guo Xing's shoulder meaningfully.
Brother Guo Xing's expression became solemn. They did not have the capital to be optimistic, and a greater test was coming... The Saman Dynasty formed an alliance with the Black Khanate, and their next target to win over was the Uighurs!
"His Majesty the noble Khan, the humble slave, brings the greetings of the Lion King, and he hopes that our friendship will be like the white snow of the Tianshan Mountains, white and eternal."
The envoy of the Black Khanate prostrated himself before the throne of the Uighur Khan.
The Uighur Khan stared at him, his face as cold as iron, and suddenly he stood up angrily.
"Shameless! A villain! Despicable! A waste!"
He shouted, "We agreed to attack Khotan together. Ben Khan sent out 150,000 troops and besieged for several months. He has not seen your reinforcements for a long time! What are your faces for those who are traitorous? Come and see Ben Khan again?"
The Black Sweat Messenger lay on the ground, making him even more humble.
"Report to the great King Khan, the Lion King is discussing the joint military service with King Samantha. We have prepared 300,000 troops. The huge military force can not only conquer Khotan, but also conquer the distant Central Plains. As long as we continue to cooperate, we can divide the world equally and share endless wealth..."
He was still talking, but the Uighur Khan was too lazy to listen.
"Ignorance! You don't know how huge the Central Plains are, nor how many people there are in the Great Zhou!" The Uighur Khan said sternly: "My predecessors have been loyal to the Tang Dynasty. The territory of the prosperous Tang Dynasty is vast and there are countless powerful generals and elite soldiers... With you, you can't even take down the Western Regions, and you dare to boast about capturing the Central Plains. It's just a daydream!"
The envoy of the Black Khan was unmoved, "Great Your Majesty, the Tang Empire was once defeated in Talas. There is nothing extraordinary about them. Victory must belong to our great alliance!"
"No!"
The Uighur Khan roared: "I don't want to hear the illusory promise. I will not send another soldier for you, so don't even think about it!"
The Uighur Khan was very determined. He had lost one-third of his troops. If he lost another 150,000 elite soldiers, he would be completely finished and no one could save him!
"Your Majesty, we can provide 300,000 taels of gold and 50,000 war horses!"
The messenger of the Black Khanate finally showed real benefits. The Uighur Khan was frowning and seemed to be moved.
But at this moment, someone suddenly ran in, "King, the Zhou Bing is here!"
"What? Why are they so fast?"
The Uighur Khan was shocked. Before his troops were withdrawn, Zhou Bing had arrived. What should I do?
He didn't care about Hei Khan's envoy, and personally led his troops to the top of Gaochang City, looked into the distance, and a huge army came from the yellow sand.
The one who commanded this group was the champion of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Hou Yehua!
Riding on the back of a bloody horse, Ye Hua was calm and composed. Beside him, Yang Ye and Li Guangrui, two generals, accompanied him. Later, they were elite soldiers of Dangxiang and Dazhou.
Ye Hua called a soldier who was proficient in the Uighur language and asked him to take his letter to meet the Uighur Khan.
"Go and tell him that if you surrender now, King Gaochang is his. If you don't surrender, I will capture the city immediately!"
Ye Hua never spoke loudly. He dodged to the side and dragged from the team by agile animals, slapped one by one, one by one, and slapped into a neat queue.
A total of 100 artillery guns aimed at Gaochang City.
