Chapter 308: Reverse Alliance

While Li Qing'an was negotiating with King Qing and Mansour and others in Kucha, the battle of the coalition forces to fight against the Uighurs in the north gradually reached a subtle moment. Cui Ganyou divided his troops into two groups, one by the Tang army, the Luo army and the Shatu army as the main forces to head north, attacking the Uighur palace in the Jianhe Basin south of Tanman Mountain, and the other by the Gelulu army stayed south of Jinshan to prevent the main forces of the Uighur army from attacking their empty nests.

The Uighur Palace located in the Jianhe Basin is the base of Uighurs in the western part of the desert and is also a major logistics location for Uighurs. The large number of cattle and sheep and fur that Uighurs exploited from the Khigas every year are piled up here. There are nearly 5,000 troops here, led by Uighurs killing the general Di De.

In the morning, the Tang army appeared on the grassland about twenty-five miles west of the Uighur Palace. The trumpets were sounded and the flags were waving. The black army horses were endless, like a huge black carpet, covering the entire green grassland.

Cui Ganyou slowly tied the reins and squinted his eyes to look at the black castle faintly in the distance. The Uighur Palace was actually a earthen city with a wall less than two feet high, mainly to defend against the invasion of wolves. In the grassland in the northern desert, the Uighurs had no enemies. They never considered the threat of cavalry. But today, the three grassland tribes attacked together was something they did not expect.

At this time, a scout from afar rushed over and ran to Cui Ganyou to report: "Report to the general, the army of Xiagas has reached twenty miles away."

"How many people have come?"

"Twenty thousand cavalry!"

Abudina and Zhu Xieguduzhi were both happy and worried. Although the arrival of the Xiagas people increased their strength, they also wanted to get a share, which meant that their grassland would be less than one piece.

Cui Ganyou showed no expression, looking into the distance with his thug curtain. When he saw a black line appearing in the distance, he immediately ordered: "The whole army is ready for combat, and do not slack off!"

Cui Ganyou's order surprised everyone, but Abudina and Zhu Xieguduzhi were veterans after all, so they immediately understood that they were not yet aware of whether Xia Gas was an enemy or a friend, so they really had to do it carefully. He immediately called the people to be on guard.

At this time, a low horn sound came from the distance, and more than 20,000 Xiagas cavalry appeared five miles away. They slowly stopped their war horses, and a team of cavalry rushed towards this side.

Xiagas, also known as Jiankun of the Han Dynasty, lived west of Tanman Mountain. They claimed to be descendants of the Han general Li Ling. They were not Turkic, but white people, that is, today's Kyrgyz people and Kyrgyz ancestors. Xiagas was tall and mostly people with red hair and green eyes, and lived a life of scattered groups.

After the Uighurs replaced the Turks and became the overlord of the grassland, the Hughes were also conquered by the Uighurs. Although they were not exterminated, they had to hand over hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep to the Uighurs every year, and were extremely exploited. Several uprisings and resistances were cruelly suppressed by the Uighurs. Until the late Uighurs, as the Hughes gradually became stronger, the Uighurs were eventually destroyed by the Hughes.

The chief of the Xiagas people was named Wu Jielus. He was a strong man in his forties. His father and two brothers died at the hands of the Uighurs, and his wife and sister were also snatched away by the Uighurs. Wu Jielus had a deep hatred for the Uighurs, but because his strength was not as good as the Uighurs, he had to endure and obey. This time, the three tribes of Geluo, Tongluo and Shatuo jointly attacked the Uighurs under the leadership of the Tang army, which gave Wu Jieluo a glimmer of hope. However, when Cui Ganyou sent someone to summon him, he was a little hesitant and his responsibility for his tribe made him dare not act rashly. It was not until the Tang army marched into the Uighur palace that Wu Jieluo made up his mind to join the alliance against the Uighurs. He personally led 23,000 Xiagas soldiers to the front line to join the coalition.

When Ujieros saw the neat appearance of the coalition forces from afar and was on guard, he knew that they did not believe in him very much, so he sent his son Sudaro to the greeting.

A cavalry of two hundred men rushed over in Xiagas, and Sudaro, who was led, shouted from afar: "We ask to see General Cui!"

A team of Tang troops stepped forward to lead them to run into the team, and through the numerous troops, Sudaro was led to Cui Ganyou.

"This is our General Cui!"

Sudaro hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Below is Sudaro, the prince of Xiagas. My father greeted General Cui. Our Xiagas sent 22,000 troops and would like to obey General Cui's order!"

He spoke Turkic. Cui Ganyou had already made Turkic language in Anxi in recent years and roughly understood what he meant. At this time, Zhu Xieguduzhi next to him whispered in Chinese: "General Cui, he is Sudaro, the only son of the chief of the Great Chief of the Xiagas."

The implication is that the people of the Xiagas can trust. Cui Ganyou nodded and said, "You can lead your father to join us!"

Sudaro took out a big horn and blew it up suddenly. The sound of the horn pierced the sky, and the Xiagas cavalry in the distance started, like a torrent, converging towards the main force.

More than 20,000 cavalrymen joined the main force of the coalition forces, and Ujieros stepped forward and bowed: "General Cui, Xia Gas is willing to listen to the general's command!"

"Okay! Pass my order and the three armies march towards the palace."

Tens of thousands of troops set out and rushed towards the Uighur Palace. About twenty miles away from the Uighur Palace, Cui Ganyou suddenly ordered to slow down. He waved to Emperor Abu Na, and Emperor Abu Na immediately stepped forward and said, "Does General Cui give orders?"

Cui Ganyou whispered a few words in his ear, and Abudi nodded. He waved his hand and led more than 20,000 people with Luo cavalry to sail south.

The Uighur Palace City was already in chaos, and thousands of Uighur herders were desperately transporting supplies and throwing bundles of cows and sheepskins into a carriage. The wealth accumulated in the Tucheng City for more than ten years is not easy. The Uighur kills the general Di De yells anxiously: "Hurry! Hurry!"

He kept looking westward. The enemy had not appeared at the end of the grassland yet, which made him slightly relieved and urged the herdsmen to transport supplies.

The sudden attack of three coalition forces including Geluo caught him off guard. He also knew that his five thousand troops could not resist the coalition forces, and the Uighur Palace would definitely not be able to save it. In order to make an explanation in front of the Khan, he would at least transport some of the materials.

At this moment, someone in the city shouted: "Let the general kill, the enemy has appeared!"

Di De was shocked and turned around and looked westward. He saw a black line appearing at the end of the grassland, getting closer and closer. The flags were flying, murderous intent soared into the sky, and thousands of horses galloped, and they rushed towards the palace.

It was too late, and Di De immediately ordered: "Retreat!"

Thousands of simple carriages ran out of the city gate under the escort of five thousand cavalrymen, fled eastward, and escaped for more than ten miles. Di De looked back and saw the overwhelming cavalry rushing into the palace, and shouts came from afar. They were fighting for the spoils of war. Di De felt heartbroken. He wanted to burn it with a fire, but he was a little reluctant. With just one thought, the Uighurs' logistics base in the western mourning area was completed after more than ten years of savings.

At this time, a large river in front blocked the way, and the carriage convoy in front suddenly shouted. Di De rushed forward to check it out. He saw that the bridge on the river had been demolished, and thousands of carriages were blocked by the river and could not move forward. He secretly cried in his heart. At this moment, the ground trembled slightly, and the cavalry pointed to the south and shouted in horror, "Enemy! The enemy is coming!"

Three miles away, a team of tens of thousands of cavalry rushed towards this side along the river. Di De recognized it. This was the Tongluo cavalry. At this time, the rear army also shouted, and the enemy troops who had just occupied the palace also chased after him and came from the northwest direction. Di De was so scared that they could not move forward or retreat. All the retreat routes were blocked and they were trapped in the siege.

At this time, thousands of herders driving carriages were no longer carriages and fled in various places. Some herders who knew water jumped into the river and swam desperately to the other side. Di De in despair calmed down instead. He slowly pulled out his battle knife and pointed at the north where the enemy's relatively weak strength, shouted: "If you want to survive, rush out of the encirclement north!"

Five thousand cavalry shouted, drew their swords and fought to the north. ． ． ． ． ．

At the end of April, Cui Ganyou led his army to defeat the Uighur Palace, intercepted and annihilated the five thousand Uighur troops stationed in the palace, killed Uighur Zuo Killing General Di De, and seized all the Uighur property in the western desert. He then set fire to the palace, but did not continue to march eastward, but went south to join the Geluo tribe. According to Li Qing'an's latest strategy, the time to completely defeat the Uighur people is not yet ripe, and the best strategy is to suppress but not fight.

In order to completely eliminate the supply of the Uighurs to the west, Cui Ganyou ordered dozens of teams of 100 people to go to the grassland to wipe out sporadic herdsmen, and all the people they met were killed.

The five sides of the Tang Dynasty, Geluo, Tongluo, Shatuo and Xiagas formed a rebel alliance, pushing the defensive Uighur line from Jinshan eastward for more than 2,000 miles, occupying a large area of ​​grassland.

In the Uighur tent, unfavorable news almost drove Gele Khan crazy. When the news of the Uighur palace being burned by the enemy came, Gele Khan finally couldn't bear it anymore and his anger erupted.

He roared in the tent, smashing all the vessels to pieces, and all the items were chopped up with his sword.

"Abus! Zhu Xieguduzhi! He is trying to stab the Black Mountain! I will cut you into pieces, and I will send your women to every big tent on the grassland!"

The roar echoed in the tent, and his guards and maids were so scared that they could dodge far away.

"And Tang Jun!"

Ger Khan suddenly turned around and pointed his sword at the south and shouted, "What kind of brotherhood, what kind of lips and teeth are cold, all of them fart! Li Longji, how do you explain to me!"

"Come!"
Chapter completed!
