Aluoduo's eyes widened suddenly. He hadn't even reported the matter yet, but your Tang leader opposite had already guessed the reason.
The reason why Diluo Dagan, the royal family of Gaochang Uighurs, recruited them this time was indeed to intercept the envoys of the Guiyi Army.
Not only him, Mahashd was also recruited from Balasagon by Dirodagan.
They had been waiting in Puchanghai for more than twenty days. They almost ran out of water and did not wait for the messenger from the Guiyi Army. Just when everyone couldn't stand it anymore and were about to disperse, Fan Running and others rushed over recklessly.
Mahashd, who was stationed in the outer city, originally planned to leave, but when he saw that there were not many people like Fan Runing, he thought they were merchants from the east.
I thought I had already come here and wanted to grab one before heading back to Balasagon, so I followed directly, but ended up bumping into an iron plate.
"How many people are there in Loulan City?" This is the question that Zhang Zhao is most concerned about. The Gaochang Uighurs pretending to be Canwei people intercepted and killed the Guiyi Army envoys not once or twice, but he was not surprised at all.
Cutting off people's wealth is like killing one's parents. The Gaochang Uighurs wanted to avoid even the Guiyi Army in order to monopolize the interests of the Silk Road. How could they allow the Guiyi Army and Khotan to join forces?
"Diro Dagan brought a hundred and fifty people from Yizhou, and dozens of Yanqi horse thieves were gathered together. The rest are us and Mahashd. Now we have been defeated by you, sir!" Aluoduo!
Hey, I was very happy and explained it directly.
"I'm not lying. The lakes and oases around Puchanghai can only support the lives of this many people. If there are more people, drinking water will be difficult!" Fan Running, who has been running this road all year round, nodded in agreement.<
/p>
"Then kill them! These servants of the late king of Gaochang Uighurs, Gu Jun, were also generals under the Taibao Gong. After they became kings, they made trouble for us a lot. Yizhou was captured by him."
Old Zhang Zhong came out and said to Zhang Zhao, with a look of indignation on his face, which made Zhang Zhao wonder whether this old guy had also contacted the Uighurs in Yizhou.
But not only Zhang Zhong was angry when he mentioned the Gaochang Uighurs, but Ma Yaozi and others were also angry.
Zhang Zhao thought for a moment and understood, because Pu Gujun, the founder of the Gaochang Uighurs, once belonged to Zhang Yichao. He was sent by Zhang Yichao to recover Yizhou, Gaochang and other places, and he was a vassal of the Guiyi Army.
As a result, after Zhang Yichao entered Chang'an, Tang Yizong chose to secretly support Pugujun in order to limit the power of the Guiyi Army.
As a result, Beiting, Gaochang, Yizhou and other places that had already been recovered were lost one after another. The Gaochang Uighurs began to rise, and the Guiyi Army's strategy of restoring Anxi completely failed.
"It's good to teach them a lesson! Anyway, we have to replenish drinking water in Puchanghai. Let the officers above the fire chief come to me immediately, and let's discuss the specific actions!"
Since there are still 200 people in Loulan City, including 150 Gaochang Uighurs from Yizhou Army, we naturally need to plan carefully.
The bright moon hangs in the sky, and the scale of the ancient city of Loulan is actually very large. After all, six or seven hundred years ago, this was the center of the famous Silk Road.
At that time, the Kongque River had not yet changed its course, and Loulan Ancient City had between 30 and 40,000 residents at any time. The city was too small to accommodate them.
Therefore, the two hundred or so people who were recruited by Di Luoda only occupied a small area in the west of the city. Of course, since the ancient city had been abandoned for too long and there were not many places where people could live, the two hundred people should be divided relatively widely.
As for the Canwei tribe, which was originally nomadic in this generation, the old men were killed, and the women became the targets of their humiliation.
Diluo Dagan is a Uighur in his thirties, and he also has a Chinese name, Pu Gucheng.
The Gaochang Uighurs are actually a Uighur group that has a very close relationship with the Central Plains Dynasty. When they petitioned the Central Plains Dynasty, they often called themselves Xizhou nephews.
Historically, until the Northern Song Dynasty a hundred years later, there were still Han people serving as high-ranking officials in the Uighur court in Gaochang.
The envoys of the Khitan and Liao Kingdom also admitted that Gaochang was originally a Han country, because the politics, military and culture here all have a strong Central Plains Han style.
However, the Gaochang Uighurs showed their closeness to the Central Plains Dynasty and their vigorous preservation of Han culture, which was compared to the powerful Central Plains Dynasty.
For the Guiyi Army, which only had 200,000 to 300,000 people, its respect was very limited, and the two sides often had frictions due to trade. Therefore, when Zhang Zhao proposed to deal with the Gaochang Uighurs, even Cao Yanming was eager to try.

After another glass of ale, Deroda shook his dizzy head, feeling quite unhappy.
Mahashid, the dog slave, took him a commission of 150 silver coins, and yet he ran away without saying a word!
These Tiele people who have betrayed the Buddha cannot be trusted. Just wait three more days. If the envoy who returns to the rebel army does not pass by in three days, he will have no choice but to return to Yizhou.
‘Puff!’ At this moment, Dirodagan seemed to hear a strange noise, which seemed to be the sound of a weapon cutting into his body, followed by a slight exclamation from outside.
Instinctively feeling that something was wrong, Dirodagan quickly stood up and took out his scimitar. Before he could go out, the door was kicked open with a bang.
The dizzy Deroda woke up as soon as he drank the wine, because he saw that the person coming through the door was not one of his subordinates, but a strong man wearing ring mail.
Ma Yaozi took a closer look at the clothes on Diluodagan's body, and it turned out to be the colorful brocade robe often worn by the Uighur nobles. It seemed that the Geluolu man was not lying. There was indeed a big fish from Gaochang Uighur here.
The flames soared into the sky, exploded violently, and then quickly extinguished. This was the 'divine fire thunder' invented by Cao Yanming under the guidance of Zhang Zhao.
Uh! Cao Yanming insisted on choosing this name. In fact, in Zhang Zhao's opinion, it is a bit exaggerated to say that this thing is a firecracker. In addition to its novelty, its biggest function is to send signals at night.
In this not-so-bright night, the divine fire thunder made a sound and the gunpowder was extremely conspicuous. It had already been touched in the ancient city, but Zhang Zhao, who had not yet found Di Luo Da Gan, was refreshed. He picked up his short spear and waved his hand.

"Charge over! Kill them all!"
Similarly, the sound of the explosion of divine fire and thunder and the rising flames woke up Diluo Dagan's men who had fallen asleep.
Like ants, they ran out of each room that was still barely habitable and rushed towards the location of Dirodagan.
Dirodagan, who had sobered up in an instant, did not choose to rush towards Ma Yaozi, because he instinctively felt that he could not defeat the person coming from the opposite side, so he hurriedly pushed back as hard as he could, causing the broken doors and windows to suddenly shatter.
Just jumped out of the window.
Ma Yaozi also laughed ferociously and rolled out, but as soon as he landed, a knife was slashed at his neck.
Ma Yaozi quickly rolled away to avoid the knife, and the horizontal knife in his hand slashed the opposite thigh. He heard a shrill scream, and a black figure hugged his leg and fell into the darkness.
Ma Yaozi ignored this guy and kept his eyes on Diluo Dagan, who was running wildly in the distance. When he took the time, he lit a divine fire thunder again. It was like a signal flare, and the men and horses on both sides began to run wildly in this direction.
.
Finally, just when Ma Yaozi was chasing so hard that he could hardly breathe, and Dirodagan, who was also running in front and was about to faint, stopped running, a group of Uighur warriors wearing leather robes and four-flap leather helmets appeared on the horse.
Opposite the kite.
"Ma Yaozi, here I come!" Just as Ma Yaozi was still considering whether to rush forward, a loud shout came from behind. It turned out that Dunzhu had arrived!
Before he finished speaking, the two throwing spears flew out of Dundup's hands, and the two Uighur warriors who were rushing towards Ma Yaozi fell down in response.
"Boom!" After throwing the spear, Dunzhu rushed directly into the formation of the Uighur warriors on the opposite side. He didn't care how many people were on the opposite side or whether he would be injured. He rushed into the crowd and waved the black iron hammer and started to left.
Hammer right!
"Your mother's Tibetan thieves slave, you are risking your life!" Ma Yaozi howled miserably, and he could only choose to rush forward like Dunzhu.
Because he knew that Zhang Erlang was very tolerant in everything, but if he watched his comrades in the battle formation and didn't keep up, he would definitely have his head chopped off with a knife afterwards.
