Han Shizu

Yixikeer Lake is the second largest lake in the Black Khanate, second only to the Dalinkuer Lake in the north. It has a high altitude, extremely deep water, is not frozen in all seasons, and has beautiful scenery.At the same time, thanks to the suitable climate, the basin centered on Yixikeer Lake is also an important animal husbandry and grain production area of ​​the Black Khanate.

On the edge of the lake, apart from Balshan, there are many small towns and villages, dotted around the pearl of Yixikeer Lake like diamonds.Jile City is located at the west end of Yixikeer Lake, close to the capital, and has always been prosperous. Since the end of the war, the Han army has been stationed here.

After going out for half a year, he was either marching hard or fighting hard. From top to bottom, he was extremely tired and needed a long rest.With the death of the Black Khan, the army was wiped out, and the Eight Assassins fell, the entire eastern part of the Black Khanate no longer had any organized forces that could pose a threat to the Han army, and there was enough time and a safe enough environment to rest.

As an important agricultural and animal husbandry area of ​​the Black Khanate, there is naturally no shortage of food and meat. During the advance of the Han army, the local area only had a bumper harvest. Towns, large and small, and the people also had enough supplies for the Han army to use.

The food requisition was naturally handed over to the people of Khotan. Because of the setback that day, the army was in a difficult situation, and Liu Minzheng did not like them.And the people of Khotan also knew it well. Under the leadership of the chief general Yuchi Guli, they worked extra hard to raise food for the Han army.

In the battle on the southern front, the Han army suffered heavy casualties, and the Khotan army suffered heavy losses. Under the crazy attack of the black sweaters, nearly 2000% of the troops were lost, leaving less than [-] people.

In fact, the fighting power of the Khotan people is not that weak. At this stage, the Khotan Kingdom is still in a prosperous and prosperous stage, but its neighbors are too dazzling, covering its light.In addition, the Khotan army was forced by Liu Min to join the battle against Hei Khan, so it is normal for them not to try their best on the battlefield.

However, after a painful lesson, the people of Khotan finally woke up. There is no room for jokes on the battlefield, and there is no room for negligence. Or it may be to redeem and eliminate Liu Min’s annoyance towards them, or it may be other factors. During the battle, the people of Khotan began to fight desperately.

Especially in the last battle between Jile and the Black Khan Army, everyone was brave and rushed more fiercely than the Han Army, which really allowed them to establish credit. The Ali Musa Khan of the Black Khanate was captured by Khotan An unknown soldier in the army shot and killed him.Of course, he is no longer an unknown person. After Liu Min learned about it, he praised him for his achievements and gave him the name Li Shehan. Li also counted as the national surname of Khotan.

The performance on the battlefield may be unsatisfactory, but outside the battlefield, the servants of the Khotanese are very hardworking, dedicated, and extremely active. After all, they can also benefit from it.

The guards were resting and letting their horses by the lake, while Liu Min and Guo Yi were strolling in the grass. The old Zheng robes were draped over their shoulders, and they were blown up by the wind, whistling. The cold wind seemed to calm Liu Min's mood. .

While throwing stones, Liu Min said in his mouth: "It's no wonder that the Black Khanate has gradually risen in the past few decades, occupying a large area of ​​fertile water and soil at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, and has a unified and powerful central government. It is not weak, and armed with religious beliefs, it has already laid the foundation for its rise.

Guo Yi also throws hard, not as far as Liu Min, but the number is obviously more.Seeing that Lie Xin was happy, Liu Min immediately said, "Let's compare!"

And what Liu Min has to do is to do as little as possible to attract hatred, although the effect will not be very good, after all, for the black sweat people, the big man is a real invader.But no matter how bad it is, it can also make the sons of the big man relax, have more time to rest, and not be tired of those "ordinary things".In addition to military supplies, what the Khotanese robbed had to be donated to the Han army.

The afternoon sun is shining brightly, projecting on the surface of Yixikeer Lake, with sparkling light, under the strong wind, the water plants are swaying, the waves are rippling, and from time to time, birds fly by and plunge into the deep forest.On the top of the mountain in the distance, the snow-capped peaks are so conspicuous, and the towering glaciers, like a row of giants, guard the pearl of Yixikeer Lake.

Guo Yi heard the words and asked, "Is your Highness interested in giving it a name?"

Liu Min nodded when he heard the words, but said in a strong tone: "Now, it is the territory of my big Han Anxi!"

Even in China, such a large lake is rare. I haven't seen the whole picture, but I don't know which one is bigger and which one is smaller than Poyang Lake.However, this is indeed a treasure land. With a little development and utilization, it should not be a problem to support 50 people!This is even superior to some land in Anxi."

Guo Yi was at the side, her image was similar to Liu Min's, with an unshaven beard that hadn't been taken care of in time. Of course, during the journey, he didn't care about these details.However, the mood was equally relaxed, and he responded with a smile: "Since ancient times, beautiful scenery has always been in places that are inaccessible.

When the lake gradually calmed down, Liu Min picked up another stone and handed it to Guo Yi: "Zimei, come and try!"

"The name of this lake has to be changed. What is it called? It's too awkward!" Liu Min said suddenly.

If they hadn't moved eastward prematurely and attracted the attention of the big man, if they had spent the past few decades continuing to develop agriculture and animal husbandry, expand the population, and accumulate strength, even if the big man wanted to control them, it would not be easy, let alone beat them territory! "

It's just that I never imagined that there is such a precious land in this remote and desolate place. It's almost winter, and the scenery is still so beautiful, which is pleasing to the eye! "

Guo Yi nodded and said: "Anxi is thousands of miles away from the capital, and Gaochang is still two thousand miles away from the Eight Assassins, which is too far away. The power that can be devoted to fighting in the Western Regions is always limited. If the strength of the Heihan people is not damaged, it is really hard to predict the success or failure!"

A long and cathartic howl broke the tranquility of the lakeside, the birds were frightened, and the animals fled.After laughing a few times, Liu Min pointed to the lake surface which was as clear as a mirror where fish could be seen swimming, and praised: "Good lake, good water and soil, good scenery! It's also fun to enjoy such a beautiful scenery while fighting.

"This is what the luck of the great man is all about. If you succeed in every effort, you will have God's help!" Liu Min smiled slightly, showing confidence.

Liu Min bent down, picked up a flat stone from the grass, grasped it, and threw it sideways at the lake.Liu Min's eyes followed closely, counting from near to far, one, two, three. Before the counting was over, the calm water surface was completely rippling.

"Your Highness is proud!" Guo Yi praised.

Hearing this, Guo Yi also became interested. These honorable children basically played in the Jinming Pond in Tokyo when they were young, but now, they feel like they have regained their childishness.

"The local area is not a legend. Is this a pearl left by the gods in the world? This lake is vast, so it should be called Zhuhai!" Liu Min pondered for a while, a little uncertain: "Is it too vulgar?"

Regarding the burning, killing, and looting caused by the Khotanese, the Han army acquiesced from top to bottom. The war has no warmth, no benefits, and even the Han army has no motivation, let alone these servants.

Soon, Liu Min and Guo Yi, the two generals of the Western Expedition, compared their kung fu by the lake, and the guards who followed them also had something to do, which was to choose suitable stone pieces and present them.

"It's not bad! It's very artistic!" Guo Yi said.

Liu Mini laughed a few times, and said again: "In addition to this lake, the towns and mountains and rivers we conquered all have to change their Chinese names. The rule of the Han over this place begins with the name change. We will gradually erase the rule of the Black Khan. Like the city of Balsi Khan, it especially needs to be cleared, Di Duba assassinated Dagon, renamed Suiye, and Chuihe was changed back to Suiyeshui."

"Yes!" Guo Yi's expression became more serious: "Xiang Deming is more suitable to do these things!"

"You're going to exhaust our chief steward!" Liu Min waved his hand lightly, and said with a smile, "Let's ask the imperial court for more political officials!"

As he said that, Liu Min raised his eyes and looked to the north, where the "City of Broken Leafs" was located across several mountains.And Liu Min's eyes also showed a little remembrance and yearning, and he murmured: "Suiye, after hundreds of years, I finally came back!"
