Chapter 466 Take the initiative to attack Dashi!
Zhang Xuan's Western Expeditionary Army continued to set up camp in the vicinity of Kangwang City for rest and reorganization.One is to stabilize the situation in the land of the nine surnames of Zhaowu, and the other is to adapt the soldiers of the Western Expedition to the plateau environment and prepare for the upcoming fierce collision with the big cannibal in black.

This is a fateful battle.

One month later, Ge Shuhan's son, Ge Shu Lige, was transferred from Qiuci to Zhaowu Army Town, and served as Zhaowu General and Zhaowu Dao Marching Chief. Handed over to Ge Shu Lige for restraint, in addition, Zhang Xuan also transferred 2 people from the army to Ge Shu Hanli's command.

Of course, before the war with Heiyi Dashi is over, Kecha will lead the Zhaowu Nine-Nation Allied Forces to cooperate with the emperor's Western Expeditionary Army to fight against the Abbasid army.Although it can be found out that the emperor had the intention of using the war to consume the strength of the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms army and horses, there was nothing he could do about it.

The Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu no longer exist. Now that he has accepted the land and surrendered to become a minister of China, he can only assist the emperor wholeheartedly and obey orders unconditionally.

Kecha has decided that if the Chinese army is defeated, he will follow the Chinese army back to Anxi and even the Central Plains.Even if it is defeated, China is still a great empire, and as an important minister of a big empire, it is better than a small prince.

This is the thought that can be checked.

account.But Cha is drinking for himself. Since he imprisoned his father Shi Laihe and led his army to join the Emperor of China, he has basically cut off contact with the original Kang family.

Suddenly the soldiers came to report, "General, Your Majesty has summoned you."

But Cha didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately got up and went out of the tent, and went to the emperor's heavily guarded tent.

After the account was reported, it was found that there was a young and middle-aged general in his thirties standing in the tent, tall, dignified and majestic.

"Minister Kecha, pay homage to Your Majesty, long live my emperor!" Kecha bowed to the ground, Shan Hu long live saluted.He surrendered with all his heart, he had already gotten used to and entered the role, and he was very skillful in practicing the etiquette of the Chinese dynasty.

Zhang Xuan smiled slightly, waved his hands and said, "You can check, you are flat. You can check, this is Ge Shu Lige, you have seen it before."

Ke Zha was taken aback, and hurriedly glanced at Ge Shu Lige, thinking that this person is Ge Shu Lige, the son of the famous Chinese general Ge Shuhan, the highest military commander appointed by the emperor in the land of nine surnames in Zhaowu?

Kecha took a deep breath, stood up and hugged Geshu Lige as a salute, "Kecha has met General Geshu!"

Ge Shu Lige smiled, and clasped his fists in return, "General Ke Cha is so polite, Ge Shu is new here, please ask General Ke Cha to teach you more in the future."

When the two met, Zhang Xuan sat on the high seat and smiled calmly, "Brother Shu Lige, I asked Kecha to stay in Zhaowu's nine surnames to assist you because you are not familiar with the situation here. I hope you two can work together , don’t disappoint my high hopes!”

"The end will follow the order!"

"I obey my orders!"

……

……

Time passed day by day, but the big cannibal didn't seem to make any movement, which made Zhang Xuan feel a little weird.

The land of the nine surnames of Zhaowu was recovered by the Chinese army, and the [-] cavalry in Isri were wiped out by the whole army. Could it be that the big cannibals don't want to take revenge?Is it necessary to allow the Chinese dynasty to include all the thousands of miles around the Zhaowu nine surnames into its territory, directly threatening the border security of Dashi?
Should not be!

In fact, Zhang Xuan didn't know that the black-clothed Dashi was founded on religion, with a vast territory and powerful soldiers and horses.That is to say, the caliph in black did not pay attention to the so-called land of the nine surnames of Zhaowu, the Western Regions, and the entire Middle Earth, and had no real intention of invading China.

Including the previous battle of Talas with Gao Xianzhi, it was all minor incidents, and the caliph did not directly intervene, but was represented by Vizier Abel, the chief executive of Dashi.

In other words, the so-called black-clothed Dashi stationed troops in the land of Zhaowu's nine surnames and stared at Anxi. In fact, it was not the work of the Dashi Caliph, but the deployment of Vizier Ebul.

Therefore, the news of Isri's defeat was sent back to Dashi, but not to the Caliph, but to Abul's house.It's just that Able has not yet returned to the capital Baghdad after sending out tours with Harry, so Abel does not know that the Zhaowu territory he tried to make into his own has been recovered by the Chinese Dynasty.

Seeing that the big cannibal had not moved for a long time, Zhang Xuan thought twice, and ordered Guo Ziyi to lead an army of [-] to attack the last fortress of the big cannibal in Zhaowu Jiuxing and Anxi - Talas City.

What surprised Guo Ziyi was that the army under his command had not yet reached Talas City, but Meng Bai, the governor of Dashi who was stationed in Talas City, suddenly led his army to withdraw from Talas, and retreated again and again, directly entering the flower garden in Dashi territory. Lazimo.

Khwarazm was originally an independent country, but like Persia, it was wiped out by the Great Food successively and became part of the huge Arab Empire.

When the news reached Kangwang City, Zhang Xuan was somewhat surprised.

Could it be that Dashi avoids and does not fight?Zhang Xuan shook his head, his eyes became awe-inspiring - even if Da Shi avoids fighting, he will take the initiative to attack, break into Da Shi's territory, look for an opportunity to fight Da Shi, and then let the rebellious Da Shiren know that Wei Wei The state of China is inviolable!

Zhang Xuan immediately issued an order to lead the whole army to march towards Talas.

Fifteen days later, Zhang Xuan personally led the army to Talas City.

This is a large city with tall defenses and all built with huge stones. It is a pure military fortress and has no civilian or commercial functions.Zhang Xuan stood on the tall city tower, looking towards the Dashi territory in the west.Guo Ziyi and other generals looked solemn and stood by.

Zhang Xuan looked across a piece of desert Gobi, projected on the distant horizon, the oval area composed of many oases, and said loudly, "That side, it is Huoxunguo, it can be regarded as a province of black clothes and big food."

"Yes, Your Majesty. The Huoxun Kingdom once paid tribute to the Tang Dynasty. It is located on the banks of the Ham River, three hundred miles northwest of Anguo. There are hundreds of thousands of clan members and more than [-] soldiers and horses." Guo Ziyi came forward and reported loudly. road.

Zhang Xuan nodded, and stared silently at the direction of Huo Xun Country again. He knew that this country was Khwarazmo conquered by Genghis Khan, an important town on the northeast border of the Dashi Dynasty. Own king and petty regime.

He pondered for a long time, slowly sorting out his thoughts, as well as his judgment and analysis of the whole situation.

a long time.

He suddenly raised his finger and pointed in the direction of Huo Xunguo, "Guo Ziyi, if I take down Huo Xunguo and fill it into Zhaowu Town, will it be able to hold it in the long run?"

Guo Ziyi gasped.From the emperor's words, he saw the emperor's determination to fight Dashi, and also saw the emperor's ambition.If Huoxun Kingdom is captured, it will be equivalent to advancing Zhaowu Town 500 miles westward in the direction of Dashi.

The emperor's strategic vision is not far-sighted.

Guo Ziyi hesitated for a while, then lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, it depends on the outcome of our battle against the big cannibal. If our dynasty wins completely and the big cannibal is defeated, then I will garrison troops in Huoxun Kingdom. It can be safe for decades. If our court fails, then we can only retreat to the land of Zhaowu."

Zhang Xuan couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, "Ziyi, as the commander of the army, you must have the confidence to defeat the cannibals! If you don't have confidence as a commander, let alone ordinary soldiers? There must be a battle between our army and the cannibals. If our army Defeated, not to mention Huoxun Kingdom, even Zhaowu Town, I'm afraid it won't be able to survive."

"Yes, I am ashamed." Guo Ziyi heaved a sigh of relief and bowed down.

Zhang Xuan smiled, turned his head to look in the direction of Huoxunguo, and said loudly, "Everyone, I have decided that in the future, my army from the west will advance to Huoxunguo, wait for the opportunity to take down Huoxunguo, and then go straight to the land of Persia, or even directly Smash Huanglong and take over the lair of big cannibals, do you have the guts?"

Zhang Xuan's voice was sonorous and powerful, full of endless power and supreme courage to guide the country. Guo Ziyi led the generals to bow to the ground and shouted long live, "Your Majesty is willing to follow your majesty straight into Persia and conquer the Great Food! Let us honor the prestige of China!" Military prestige, long live my emperor!"

Zhang Xuan let out a long laugh, full of pride and fighting spirit for a while.

Of course, it is just a slogan to boost morale, and Zhang Xuan has no ambition to station troops in Dashi.The Arab Empire is huge and powerful. It is not realistic for the time being to eat such a big guy.

……

……

On September 25th of the third year of Yongning, the autumn was crisp and clear.The Chinese Emperor Zhang Xuan swore an oath to march in Talas City, leading an army of [-] to Huoxun Kingdom, which opened the prelude to the Chinese Dynasty's initiative to attack Dashi.

The [-] coalition army composed of Huihe army horses and Zhaowu army horses with nine surnames, led by Huihe princes Ge Le and Kecha, lived on the right wing of the army, while Nan Jiyun, Lei Wanchun, and Li Siye led the Shence Army and Shenwu Army on the left wing. Xuan and Guo Ziyi led the main force in the middle of the road, surrounded by three roads, and marched into the city of Khiva, the country of Huoxun.

Strictly speaking, when the army left the land of the nine surnames of Zhaowu, it had actually invaded the territory of Dashi.It's just that this area belongs to the northeast border of the Dashi Dynasty. When the news came back to Baghdad, the capital of Dashi, Zhang Xuan's army had already approached the city of Khiva.

Before the Huoxun people could react, the army of the Chinese Dynasty had already surrounded the city of Khiva, and the city was in chaos.

Different from Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms, the people of Huoxun Kingdom have mastered irrigation technology very early, and agriculture is very developed because of this.Outside the city of Khiva, there are vast fertile fields, and the river water ditches excavated from the Ham River are criss-cross.

The tall and majestic city in front of you is full of exotic customs. The nearly 20-meter-high city wall is built with large bricks, and the bricks are glued with clay, and natural stones are used to wedge between the bricks.Unlike the city buildings in the Central Plains, the city buildings of the Huoxun people basically did not use wood.

This is a small, prosperous and happy country. Whether it is culture or commerce, it is far beyond what the land of Zhaowu and Jiuxing can match.Zhang Xuan straddled the horse, his crown was like a cloud, he stared at the city of Khiva in front of him, his heart was ups and downs, and he was slightly moved.
