Needless to say, the emergency military newspaper in the northwest must be related to the Hexi Army's great cause of the Western Expedition!

During the six years of Jianzhong Jingguo, the Hexi Army has been making various preparations for the expansion of the west. After the establishment of the Dujun Pilot Division, news about the preparations for the Hexi Army's western expedition was reported to the Dujun Pilot Division from time to time by the military room of the Propaganda and Fu Envoy of the Northwest Third Route.

As the most important preparation for the Hexi Army's western expedition, Zhao Zhongshun (Chage) led his army to attack the territory of the Yellow-headed Uighurs and Yellow-headed Tatars last summer, conquering more than a dozen nomadic tribes, and opening up the passage from the southern Qinghai Road to the eastern part of the Khotan region ruled by the Karakhanate.

The so-called yellow-headed Uighurs are actually the remaining part of the Ganzhou Uighurs. After the Ganzhou Uighurs were destroyed by Yuanhao, they moved to the west of Qinghai Road south of the Qilian Mountains, which is the area called the Qaidam Basin later. The yellow-headed Uighurs is a part of the nine-sect Tatars. They were also nomadic in the Hexi Corridor and the western part of Qinghai Road, and were much weaker than the Ganzhou Uighurs. Naturally, they could not prevent the defeated Ganzhou Uighurs from entering their territory.

However, due to the limited resources in the western part of Qinghai Road, the Yellow-headed Uighurs and Yellow-headed Tatar tribes crowded there became worse and worse. Now they are just some nomadic savages, only exist as buffers between Tubo, Karakhanate and Xixia. They are not enemies of the Hexi Army, which has been through a long battle formation, so they are easily conquered by Zhao Zhongshun.

While opening up the western part of Qinghai Road, the Hexi Army also used part of the borrowed 2 million yuan to purchase hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep from Qingtang, Beihetao (ruling from Khitan), Gaochang Uighurs and others, and handed them over to the elite sheep selected from the Hexi nomadic tribes (actually the original Dangxiang nomadic tribes) to raise these cattle and sheep as military rations for the Western Expedition, and accompanied the Hexi army to set foot on the land of Anxi.

The practice of using cattle and sheep as military rations was not the patent of the later Mongolians. This was a skill mastered by any nomadic tribe in the grassland.

The Dangxiang people, who were semi-herd and semi-settled, did not completely forget the abilities of their ancestors. Faced with a long journey of two or three thousand miles, it was certainly impossible to carry food, and the western part of Qinghai Road and the Gaochang Uighurs did not have enough ability to supply the army.

Therefore, driving cattle and sheep into the army became the only solution.

In addition, the envoys of the Hexi Army also frequently traveled between Liangzhou (the Hexi Army's Jiedushi had moved to Liangzhou) and Gaochang.

An alliance against the Black Khan Uighurs (Karakhanate) was established in a very short time.

The so-called "death of lips and teeth" does not exist at all between the Gaochang Uighurs and the Black Khan Uighurs!

Although the names of these two countries are "Uighur", the name of the Black Khan Uighur was called by the Han people, and their own country name is the Karakhanate. The origin of the nation is the Garlu and the Yangmo Turks. It has a bit of blood relationship with the Uighurs, but it is not very close. In the early years, it was also influenced by the Uighurs in culture and used the Uighur characters.

However, since Satuk Bograh Khan converted to the Tianfang Sect, the Karakhanate quickly became the Tianfang Sect, and even the text became Turkic text written in Arabic letters. The cultural focus was on the Tianfang Sect Turkic culture. The final cultural connection with the Gaochang Uighurs was thus cut off.

Moreover, after converting to the Tianfang Sect, the Karakhanate became the vanguard of the Tianfang Sect's expansion in Central Asia. With the blessing of the gods from West Asia, the Karakhanate launched a crazy battle of gods to the east, the Kingdom of Khotan and Gaochang, two countries with Buddhist beliefs. In the end, the Kingdom of Khotan was destroyed during the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Northern Song Dynasty, occupying most of the four towns in Anxi, and its king also called himself the Taohua Stone Khan.

In the process of destroying Khotan, the Gaochang Uighurs and the Guiyi army of the Northern Song Dynasty stood firmly on the side of Khotan, and were therefore called "vicious pagans" by the Karakhanate.

The Guiyi Army, a "vicious pagan", had long been annexed by the Western Xia, and the remaining Gaochang Uighurs had a low-intensity conflict with the Karakhanate for a hundred years. It was not that the Karakhanate did not have the power to push Gaochang, but that it was afraid of a direct war with the Khitan and Xixia behind the Gaochang Uighurs.

Even at the heyday of the Karakhanate, coupled with the blessing of the Western Asian gods, they probably could not beat Yuan Hao's Western Xia, let alone face a super power like the Khitan...

Nowadays, the Karakhanate has long been weak and divided into two parts: East and West. The Western Karakhanate was conquered by the Seljuk Turks 17 or 18 years ago and became a vassal. The Eastern Karakhanate, centered on Balashagun and Kashgar, is still independent, but it does not have enough strength to fight the invasion of the Hexi Army.

So when the news that the Dabai Gao Kingdom was annexed by the Taohua Stone Kingdom reached Balashaguen, the Khanate of the East Kara Khanate immediately became alert. He sent a large number of spies to Hexi and Gaochang, and also tried to send an envoy to Kaifeng Prefecture to be robbed and killed by the Hexi army and did not arrive at Kaifeng Prefecture. This killing that took place in the desert in the northwest was equivalent to kicking off the war.

Today, the emergency military newspaper of the Military Control Commission (also part of the post station delivery system) was sent to the emergency military newspaper of the Dujun Control Commission, which was related to the subsequent reaction of the killing.

...

Wu Haogu returned to the Dujun Jima. As soon as he entered the central hall, he saw that the Tongzhi Dujun Jima Zhang Shuye was already waiting there.

Zhang Shuye served as the military commander of Tongzhidu for his literary talent, and was considered a military commander with Wu Hao. However, he was not a civil servant who knew nothing about military affairs. In fact, he also participated in the Military Academy under the leadership of Murong Wangyou in his early years. He also knew about the "new military academics", so he was still very competent...

However, using literary resources to serve as the chief officer of the Dujun Magistrate Department still made Wu Haogu feel some hidden dangers. Perhaps the Privy Council in the early years fell into the hands of civil servants step by step!

Zhang Shuye and Wu Haogu are old acquaintances, but the relationship is not very good. Both sides have had a secret fight for Jiehe Market. If it weren't for Wu Haogu's backstage being too hard, Jiehe Market wouldn't have developed to be like this now.

In addition, Zhang Shuye's cousin Zhang Kegong is the censor who participated in Wu Haogu the most frequently in the Censorate! Therefore, he was also a model new army military commander by Wu Haoguk, and almost became a synonym for official tragedy.

Zhang Kegong turned out to be the censor of the supervisor! Officials in this position are easily promoted. Perhaps a memorial can become a Zhongshu Sheren or a Hanlin Bachelor of Science if he matches the taste of the emperor.

But now he has become a military supervisor... It sounds like a job done by eunuchs! You can imagine what the future of the officialdom will be.

Looking at Wu Haogu sitting in the head, Zhang Shuye did not feel close to him, but instead talked straight to the point.

"The urgent report from the Northwest General, the Black Khan Uighurs asked for help from the Turkic Kingdom! The urgent report also said that this Turkic Kingdom is a powerful Western country with a land of thousands of miles, with millions of armor, not under the Khitan!"

The Northwest Commander was Gao Qiu's three-way Xuanfu Envoy. Nominally, the Hexi Army and the Shuofang Army were controlled by him, and the Anxi Grand Protector (Zhao Qianshun had this position) and the Anxi Grand Education and Reform Group were also controlled by him.

Therefore, the emergency military information in the northwest is a rigorous and efficient military order system reported through the general military computer room of the Northwest Commander, which is also particularly emphasized by Wu Haogu. Over-level command and over-level reporting are not allowed in the regulations of the Dujun Machinery Commander.

Wu Haogu sat in the upper seat with a steady flow, not surprised at all by the latest military newspaper.

It was expected that the Black Khan Uighurs asked Seljuk's father for help.

At this time, Quan Fa sent the military intelligence room Zhang Zhifeng to the central hall with the military newspaper copy and handed the copy to Wu Haogu with both hands.

Military Intelligence Room is one of the institutions directly under the Ministry of Military Control Commission. The main responsibility is to collect and analyze military intelligence. Zhang Zhifeng is in charge. Because Zhang Zhifeng's official rank is too low, he added the name of power dispatch.

Wu Haogu took the military newspaper and opened it and read it. It turned out that it was the information transferred from the Hexi Army and the General Military Office of the Grand Education Regiment through the Northwest General Military Office.

The spies from the Hexi Army in Kashgar found out the exact information that the Eastern Karakhanate sent envoys to Isfak to surrender to the request for help. They also attached a general report on the Seljuk Empire... It was a bit exaggerated, saying that there were millions of armor, thousands of generals, and fertile land for thousands of miles.

"The arrow is on the string, I have to send it!" Wu Haogu closed the military newspaper and smiled, "Besides, this is just driving the tiger and swallowing the wolf. Even if it turns into driving the wolf and feeding the tiger, it's nothing. At least we can take back Hexi Road! Why not do it?"

Wu Haogu didn't believe that the Seljuk Turks could swallow up the two brothers Zhao Qianshun and Zhao Zhongshun.

According to the report of the Northwest General Military Office, under the influence of 2 million usury loans, the Hexi Army has now recovered its vitality.

The number of Iron Harrier reached 3,000. The original garrison army was changed to a light cavalry (the military name is also called the garrison army), and the number reached 20,000. In addition, the Hexi Army also recruited an elite heavy infantry in Guasha and the new military troops imitated the Shuofang Palace. It was called the Breaking Formation Army, with a total force of 20,000.

The 43,000 soldiers alone are much stronger than Yelu Dashi in history!

Moreover, the Great Education Regiment has now organized 2,000 heavy cavalry (Gao Qiu provided some of the troops) and nearly 10,000 infantrymen.

Adding up the two, the war soldiers on the Western Expedition alone had reached 55,000, and the total number of auxiliary soldiers was probably no less than 100,000.

"With that being said," Zhang Shuye said, "But aren't you afraid that once the Hexi army is defeated, the Turkic troops will come to the Hexi Corridor?"

He paused, "Brother Chongdao, even if you are not afraid! The priests of the two prefectures will not consider this? Will the officials not consider the threat of the Turks? Don't replace the Dangxiang wolf with the Turkic tiger, then there will be no peace in the northwest!"

"Not afraid!" Wu Haogu said with a smile, "What's the terrible thing about having Gao Xuan in the northwest? Otherwise, let Gao Xuan supervise the western expedition, so that he will not be afraid of not being able to defeat the Turkic Kingdom."

"Shishou Gao Xuan has always been ill," Zhang Shuye looked at Wu Haogu with a smile, "He has always recommended you to serve as the Northwest Xuan Shuai!"
