...

Although stimulated by the Chinese army, the Iraqi World coalition was formed much faster than before, but because the coalition needs to be mobilized from various forces in the Iraqi world, and they also need to prepare armor, horses, and food, Sanjar and the others only I can watch the Chinese army attacking.

After destroying Ge Luolu and Kangli, the Chinese army entered the Fergana Valley and then continued westward to Kuzen.

Here, the Eastern Route Army led by the giant general Wang De of the Chinese Army fought a decisive battle with the army of the Western Kara Khanate that had to fight.

As a result, although the army of the Karahan Dynasty fought very resolutely, because the strength of the two armies was too different, the army of the Karahan Dynasty was easily defeated by the Chinese army. Mahemu of the Karahan Dynasty Dehan fled back to his capital Samarkand (that is, the second largest city in Uzbekistan in later generations and the old capital of Uzbekistan).

Wang De ordered Yue Yun to be the vanguard, and led the army to hunt down Mahmud Khan, approaching Samarkand all the way.

Despair enveloped the hearts of every West Kara Khanate, and they all thought: Our country is going to end, we will end up with the East Kara Khanate, and will be conquered by the Eastern Emperor.

In desperation, Mahmud Khan could only go to Isfahan, the capital of the Seljuk Empire (a city in central Iran and the capital of Isfahan Province in later generations) to ask his suzerain, Sultan Sanjar of the Seljuk Turks, Ask for help, ask Sanjar, lead the coalition forces that have gathered, hurry eastward, and fight a decisive battle with the Chinese army.

But as soon as Mahmud Khan arrived in Isfahan, he heard a bad news on the back foot-Yue Yun led the back army and had already invaded Samarkand, and his whole family was captured by the Chinese army.

Mahmud Khan really did not believe the news!
You know, Samarkand is one of the few strong cities in Central Asia, and there is a moat more than ten feet wide outside Samarkand, how could it be breached so easily?

Mahmud Khan firmly believed that the news was false, and continued to urge Sanjar to send troops.

But within a few days, people from the West Kara Khanate fled to Samarkand.

Mahmud Khan called these people to ask carefully, and learned from these people that the Chinese army easily crossed the moat of Samarkand with pieces of magical planks (flying bridges). Then, dozens of iron boxes (steel wheel fire cabinets) were used to easily blow up the city wall of Samarkand, and Samarkand was conquered in one battle.

After listening to the narration of the people who escaped from Samarkand, not only Mahmud Khan was shocked, but Sanjar and others were also shocked beyond measure.

in fact--

Sanjar and others had also thought of it before, if the Chinese army dared to travel thousands of miles to kill from the east, it must be a powerful dragon crossing the river.

But Sancar and others never imagined that the Chinese army, a mighty dragon crossing the river, would be so strong!

Mahmud Khan quickly put away his sorrow, and then said to the representatives of various forces: "Li Yan's coming this time is not just for our Kara Khanate. If so, their goal has been achieved. There is no need to march westward anymore, but you have all seen that they are still marching westward now, they must have come this time for the Muslim religion, this is holy war, if we do not win this battle, it will be Muslim The greatest catastrophe in the history of religion."

Anyone can understand that Mahmud Khan encouraged them so much because he wanted them to send troops to avenge Mahmud Khan and restore Mahmud Khan to the country, with bad intentions.

But the offensive of the Chinese army is indeed here, obviously targeting the entire Iraqi world and the Muslim religion. More importantly, as long as the Chinese army conquers the Western Karahan Dynasty, it will border the Seljuk Empire. At that time, there will be a battle between the two sides, so what Mahmud Khan said is not wrong.

As the leader of the Iraqi world and the sultan of the Iraqi religion, Sanjar must stand up whether he wants to or not.

More importantly, the Chinese army is about to hit Sanjar's home.

Therefore, Sanjar stood up and said: "This is the Iraqi world, the Yi world of our Muslim religion. If Li Yan goes back to the east now, let's stop fighting here, otherwise we will fight to the east. I will give Li Yan now." Yan writes a letter, give Li Yan one more chance, the last chance!"

Sanjar did what he said, and he really wrote a letter to Li Yan and sent an envoy to Guiyuan City.

During this period of time, the Chinese army was digesting the territory of the West Kara Khanate—while pacifying the West Kara Khanate, Li Yan divided the territory of the West Kara Khanate, including the territory of the East Kara Khanate, into almost Ten large countries, and then let yourself be willing to be the son of the king of these ten small countries to draw lots, and go to be the king wherever you are drawn. Immediately lead their respective pro-armies to pacify their own kings and build their own kingdoms. If the army is not enough, Li Yan will give them some reserve civilians to help them pacify them, and their country names will be named after Li Yan. For example, Li Ji's country is called "Jiguo", and Li Xiu's country is called "Xiu Guo".

At this time, the letter written by Sanjar to Li Yan was sent to Guiyuan City.

Sancar said in the letter: "The Sultan of the Seljuk Empire to the Emperor of the East: Eastern countries and the Iraqi world have always been friendly and exchanged what they need. Many countries in the Iraqi world are from the East. The two sides should not fight each other. Therefore, for The two parties can coexist peacefully. You immediately withdraw from the Iraqi world and return it to the Eastern Kara Khanate and the West Kara Khanate. Otherwise, when our army arrives, everything will be destroyed. Our million-strong army is brave and invincible. Soldiers Are you afraid that you can cut off the beard and hair of the enemy with an arrow?"

When the letter written by Sancar was about to be sent out, even Sancar's minister advised him, "Sultan, you can't write such a letter. This letter is too insulting. There is no room for maneuver. Don't you leave yourself a way out?"

But Sanjar refused to listen, saying that the letter had to be written in this way, otherwise Li Yan, a coward and a wimp, would not be scared away. Will definitely be scared away.

The ministers repeatedly persuaded him to no avail, and the letter was finally sent to Li Yan.

After reading it, Li Yan smiled, and then passed it on to all his civil and military personnel.

After seeing it, Yelu Dashi asked someone to bring a needle, and then asked the envoy of Sanjar to pierce his own beard with the needle.

Sanjar's envoys pricked with needles for a long time, but they kept pricking at all.

Li Yan looked at the sweaty envoy and said: "Go back and tell Sanjar, I want to see how his soldiers shot off the beards and hairs of my Chinese soldiers with arrows, and tell him not to say any more meaningless words Hurry up and fight, I will accompany you to the end."

Sanjar's envoy returned to Isfahan disheartened, and then told Sanjar: The minister of the Eastern Emperor asked me to prick his beard with a needle, but I didn't break it. The Eastern Emperor said he wanted to see how our warriors are. How did you shoot off the beards and hairs of their soldiers in the army with arrows, so let the Sultan stop talking nonsense and hurry up to fight.

As a result, Sancar was completely cut off from the back, and could only bite the bullet and continue to gather the army, preparing for a decisive battle with the Chinese army.
