Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 402: False words, intimidation and instigation

The victory in the Battle of Orbulak allowed Yangir Khan to firmly sit on the throne of Kazakh Khan and also allowed him to taste the sweetness of the war. In order to further consolidate his rule, he ordered the pursuit of the Guards to continue.

At this time, Zhongyuzi Balandu Khan and Xiaoyuzi Alyihan led the Kelei, Naiman, Merqi, Airimuul, Kalaksek, and Zedur tribes to join them. With 50,000 troops in hand, they pursued the Great Khan Lotus fiercely, leaving him with nearly a thousand corpses before returning to Ili. What a pity for the talented Khan, who was so confident at first that he threatened to conquer Kazakhstan with only 20,000 soldiers and horses. But now he has lost 5,000 soldiers and was chased back like a rabbit.

hateful! This matter must not be left like this. I still have more than 80,000 troops in Ili, and together we still have an army of 100,000. I don’t believe that we can’t defeat the hateful Kazakhs! This defeat destroyed the myth of Suletan's invincibility. He was deeply ashamed and vowed to take revenge. With no choice but to fight continuously, the warriors all wanted to go home. At that time, they fought with their last breath to fight against Kazakhstan. Now they are discouraged. They all want to return home and just want to reunite with their families.

Sultan knew that the morale of the army could not be violated, so he had to order the withdrawal of troops back to Lhasa. In order to cover up the defeat and save his face as the God of War in Oirat, he sent an envoy to intimidate Yangir Khan, "The three armies are tired from long battles, and their hearts are returning. Today is just a temporary retreat, but it has not dampened our spirit. I will recruit and train as before after returning to Beijing. You should do it." Respect yourself and come and rely on me quickly. If you don't come and surrender, from now on, we will use troops every year, destroy your plows in summer, and burn your crops in autumn. I am not even forty now, and my teeth will turn white and fall off."

What does it mean? Our army just finished fighting Junggar and was tired and wanted to go home, so we withdrew temporarily. I will train my troops and horses after I go back, and I will come again. Surrender immediately, or I will send troops to attack you every year. I will not let you farm in the summer and burn your crops in the autumn. I am not yet forty years old, and I will beat you until your hair turns white and all your teeth fall out.

This threatening letter was very scary, but Guowei was typed, not scared. After the letter was delivered to Turkestan City, Yangir Khan laughed it off and just ordered the border defenders to strengthen their vigilance, that's all.

Sultan also knew that Yangir Khan was a tough guy and would never be intimidated. The reason why I wrote this letter was to show it to my subordinates and foreigners, telling them that the Kingdom of David was still strong and had not been defeated. The withdrawal was just because the expedition took too long and the warriors were homesick. I will come back, I will definitely come back! There is no other way. Unlike the old forces, the new forces have a shallow foundation and cannot be defeated. Once defeated, internal problems will easily arise, so they must remain strong.

The Guards had retreated and peace seemed to be returning, but Bukhara Khan Aziz was not satisfied and sullen.

"The Oirat people have retreated, and peace has been restored between Kazakhstan and Weiguo. Why is Father Khan unhappy?" asked the twelve-year-old prince Subhan Kuli. This is Aziz Khan's favorite child. He has been smart since he was a child, and he took him on expeditions to cultivate his ability to be in charge of the Khanate's riding crop in the future.

"Alas! If there is peace between the two countries, I, Bukhara, will have hard days!" Aziz Khan let out a long breath.

Subhan Khuri understood what his father meant. Compared with Weiguo and Kazakhstan, Bukhara is a weak country, sandwiched between the two powers, and is still nominally a vassal of Kazakhstan. If you want to survive in the cracks and gain independence, you can only have a chance to rise by letting these two powerful countries fight each other until both sides suffer losses. "Why don't Father Khan persuade Yang Gil Khan to march eastward and seize the Yarkand Province of Wei?" He came up with an idea.

"My son doesn't know something. Yang Gil Khan is very treacherous. He just wants to use the war to consolidate his position as Khan. He doesn't really want to fight to the death with the Wei State. Otherwise, he wouldn't have ordered the strict guard after expelling the Guards. Border,” said Aziz Khan gloomily.

"Why should my father be worried? Don't you hear that the general is outside and your order is not in your favor? With the Sultan of Galangtuosi who is bent on making meritorious deeds and becoming a Khan, why are you still worried that the war will not start?" Subhan Kuli laughed. Hehehe asked his father, his eyes full of spiritual energy.

"Sultan Garang Tosi? Yes, that is a greedy and ambitious guy. He must want to take advantage of the defeat of the Guards to gain military exploits. I will go find him right now."

Aziz Khan happily came to look for Galang Tosi. When he met, he first congratulated him, "This time the emir (commander) has made great achievements in rescuing Turkestan. The Great Khan will reward you based on his merits, and he will definitely go further. I would like to congratulate you first." ". Going further? I am already the lord of the Sultan. Shouldn't I go one step further and be ranked alongside the Khans of the Three Great Yuzis?

Jialang Tuosi's heart was beating wildly, but he gritted his teeth and sighed: "It's just a mere rescue, why go further?"

Haha, this guy doesn't hide his ambition at all, what a fool! Aziz Khan was disdainful in his heart, but respectfully offered advice on his face, "It's not difficult for you to go further, just continue to make military exploits."

"Continue to make war achievements? How to legislate? The Great Khan has ordered the border to be strictly guarded. If he stirs up trouble, he will be afraid of the Great Khan's anger." Galang Tuosi's heart was pounding, but he was timid.

"The city of Aksi is located to the east of Tashkent, to the west of Andiyan (my Qian) city, and to the north of Kokand city. One city strangles three areas. It is a nail that the Wei Kingdom has driven into our Kazakhstan. The Great Khan has always said this The city has a headache. If you capture this city, you will definitely be very happy."

"Wonderful! The city of Aksi is a strategic military location, and the Great Khan has long wanted to capture it. But I'm afraid the city is high and the pond is deep, making it difficult to fight. I'd also like to ask Bukhara Khan to help me." Galang Tuo looked at Aziz eagerly. sweat.

"The emir has the order, how dare I, Bukhara, disobey him?" Aziz Khan quickly expressed his stance, feeling happy. Once the war started, he would be free from the constraints of the "New Treaty of Bukhara" and expand his armaments openly. To once again provoke the war between Kazakhstan and Kazakhstan is to kill two birds with one stone.

Driven by the desire for profit, Sultan Galangtus gathered 40,000 Kazakh-Bukhara coalition forces to attack the city of Aksi controlled by the Guards.

Although Akxi City is an important military location, due to the attack on Junggar, most of the garrison in the city was taken away, and there was no time to return to defense. Now there are only 2,000 defenders. Under the crazy offensive of the coalition forces, it fell after only three days of defense.

One general will make all the bones dry! Sultan Galangtusi continued to expand his achievements, conquered Alba and Wuqia again, and attacked Kashgar.

Kashgar is an important town in Yarkand. Yarkand Governor Ahem gathered all the forces he could and personally led the army to defend the city. Chief Envoy Saramai and Inspector Bayas Gurang were in Yarkand to raise food and grass. Baggage.

Before Sultan returned to Lhasa, he received a snowflake of urgent documents. He had no choice but to order the second-ranking Lalongbo Sandan and the Yarkand commander Tuo Luo Shihu to lead 20,000 troops to aid Yarkand, with Sandan as the main general to take charge of the Yarkand military.

The two sides faced off in Kashgar and reached a stalemate.
