Zhang Zhao held the beauty in his arms and felt so comfortable that he didn't want to get out of bed. These two days were rare days of leisure. The soldiers in Shandu were all recuperating from their injuries. The bones of the son who died in the battle had also been cured under Cao Yuanxin's arrangement.
Zhang Zhao simply gave himself two days off.
By the dim light of the oil lamp, Zhang Zhao glanced at the beauty in his arms. Before the time travel, he had a regret. He had never driven an imported foreign car at this age. Now, the Scythian Cao family in his arms was finally
His wish was fulfilled.
Moreover, Cao's appearance can definitely be ranked first among the beauties Zhang Zhao has seen in real life. She is also a queen, and she also has the attributes of a wife. The taste makes me a traveler who knows the taste.
, enjoy it endlessly, and Cao always has some defenses that have not been opened, and often cries and resists a few times, which adds infinite flavor.
"Zhang Erlang, get up quickly, get up and come with me out of the city!" A hot female voice came from outside the door, and a helpless smile appeared on Zhang Zhao's lips.
The person who can make such a fuss about him must be Cao Yuanxin. During the past few days of getting along with each other, Zhang Zhao even felt as if his mother had also traveled through time. Cao Yuanxin and his mother were not similar in appearance, but they had exactly the same temperament.
of.
Complaints are complaints, but Zhang Zhao got up immediately and looked up out of the window. It was not even dawn yet. Cao Yuanxin came here in such a hurry. There must be something big. Could it be that Bai Congxin and the others are back?
Ten miles east of Atushi City, Zhang Zhao arrived quickly under the escort of fifty flying cavalry mobilized by Cao Yuanxin. Before he could get off his horse, the probing horses in front came over one after another, and a Sanchen flag was raised at the beginning.
It is particularly bright under the rising sun.
"The Duke, Bai Congxin (Hu Ci Le, Li Ruotai) failed in his duty and failed to capture Buglahan Saktu!"
Sure enough, it was Bai Congxin and the others who came back. Zhang Zhao quickly got off his horse and helped the three of them up. The three of them were covered in blood and mud, and even the horses under their crotches had messy fur. Obviously, they must have been in high spirits these days.
In intense pursuit.
"Speaking of living up to one's trust, Saktu is also a hero of his generation, and there are hundreds of cavalry chasing thousands of cavalry. How can he be caught so easily? The casualties of the brothers are not heavy, right?"
The three of them glanced at each other, and Bai Congxin came out and replied: "We have been biting Saktu. Unfortunately, Saktu was supported by a troop of troops going south the day before yesterday. Fortunately, Governor Pei was in time.
They arrived and fought with each other. No one could do anything to help the other, so they had to retreat. Almost no brothers were injured or killed, but many fell behind."
"It's not that there is nothing to gain. Lord, please look at this. This is the head of Baitash, the eldest son of Saktu. In the sack behind it, there are also the heads of dozens of generals and chiefs from the Kara Khanate like Great Ilik Ali!
"After Bai Congxin finished speaking, Hu Cile continued happily.
Zhang Zhao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Although Saktu was not caught, Baitash's death would definitely cause a huge blow to Saktu.
In the past few days of 'communication' with Cao, Zhang Zhao gradually figured out Saktu's personal situation.
The last queen of Bugra Khan came from the Geluolu tribe in the land of seven rivers. The tribe is one of the largest tribes of the Geluolu people in the land of seven rivers, with a total of 20,000 tents and ten tribes.
Twenty to thirty thousand people.
However, although the two parties were married, there were always many conflicts. The reason was that the Taoist troops were unwilling to convert to the Tianfang Sect.
A few years ago, in order to express his determination and to divide Ge Luolu in the Land of Seven Rivers, Saktu deposed the queen who came from the Takashi tribe, and three years ago remarried the daughter of the Tocao royal family who also believed in Tianfang religion as his new wife.
The queen was the Cao family who was put to sleep on the bed by Zhang Zhao.
There was a rift between the two parties from then on. The reason why they did not fall out was, firstly, because Saktu was a khan and was powerful, and secondly, because the princes Baytash and Ahmed, who were descended from the powerful queen, did not because of the
The mother's cause has been deposed, but the connection between the two parties is still there.
What's even more subtle is that Prague Khan Saktu is only thirty-seven years old this year and has only two sons and one daughter.
Two of the sons were born to the queen of Tashibu, one was Bayitashe, and the other was the little boy Ahmad who was captured with Cao when Shule city was broken. The younger daughter was born to Cao.
out.
In other words, Baitash is currently dead, and Ahmed was captured by Khotan when he was only six years old. He might have died of illness at some point. Now it almost means that Saktu has lost his heir.
As for Saktu, who is almost forty years old, even if he can have a son soon, when his son is in his twenties and can take charge of his own business, Saktu will already be sixty or seventy years old, and it is unknown whether he will survive until then.
Don't think this is a trivial matter. In ancient times, whether it was an emperor or a khan, in an era when the mortality rate of young children was as high as ten or twenty percent, the issue of successors was very critical.
Moreover, the absence of eighteen-year-old Baitash in Saktu not only meant that there was a problem with his heir.
What's even more worrying is that now that Saktu's reputation has been greatly damaged by the defeat, all the 60,000 to 70,000 tents around Shule have been controlled by Khotan.
Li Shengtian has been running around non-stop these days, just to win over these people by appointing officials and making wishes and amnesty. It is estimated that only one or two out of ten people are willing to follow Saktu and go north.
Then Saktu, who only relies on a few thousand troops and 30,000 to 40,000 men, can no longer subdue the 20,000 troops of 120,000 to 120,000 men.
Not to mention that he also wants to become the real Great Khan of the 70,000 tents and 400,000 Geluolu people in the Land of Seven Rivers by gaining strength.
If there is Bayitash as a connecting link and an adult heir, Saktu may still be able to become the co-owner of the Geluolu people in the Land of Seven Rivers, and then slowly rebuild Karahe Khan.
But now that Baitash is gone, it may not be easy to get the title of Khan in name only.
"Well done! Come back to the city with me! The Great Sage and Emperor have prepared gifts to welcome you outside the city of Xia Atushi!" Thinking of this, Zhang Zhao also became excited.
Although Saktu was not killed directly, the two battles between Shule and Lower Atush almost succeeded in breaking the legs of the Kara Khanate.
For at least twenty years, it will be difficult for Saktu to make a comeback. After twenty years, hum! Once the heavenly soldiers from the Central Plains arrive, Saktu will probably not have the chance to seduce others.
Outside the city of Xia Atushi, on the battlefield where Zhang Zhao set up his stacked formation and fought Saktu in a bloody battle, the surrounding corpses and discarded ordnance had been cleared away, and a high platform was built on the last small earth bag of the stacked formation.
Zhang Zhao led his army slowly towards the high platform. Behind him, as long as the Fengtian army could still move, they all mounted their horses and followed him slowly. Yan Jin grinned so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. He was the best kid.
Fortunately, the arrow penetrated the cheek but did not damage the gums or periodontal teeth.
Dunzhu, Ma Yaozi, and brothers Fanquan and Fanshun were all very lively. Their injuries were actually lighter than Zhang Zhao's. Shanzhuer also came with a pale face. He had two broken ribs. He had just broken two ribs today. Barely able to move freely.
But the wild bear was in a worse situation. He attracted a lot of firepower, and there was almost no good meat on his body. The most serious injury came from his belly. The ax cut through the armor on his belly and almost released his intestines. .
Fortunately, this guy has a strong vitality. After a few days of inflammation, scabs miraculously began to form, but it will definitely take a while.
As soon as everyone arrived, Wang Normal University's elegant music, which had been inherited from the Zhou Dynasty, was played. Hundreds of drummers were playing in the wilderness, which looked extremely shocking.
Zhang Zhao reined in his horse a mile away. This was not an ordinary etiquette. Wang built a platform to greet him in the suburbs and played the music "Wang Shi Da Xian". This was the highest etiquette for ancient kings to welcome the triumphal army.
Although the Jin National Disaster in Khotan is compared with the great powers of the Central Plains, this battle of 20,000 to 30,000 people is not ranked high in ancient Chinese history, but for today's Khotan, today's Anxi, and today's Zhang Zhao, it is absolutely It's an incredible honor.
"I am the minister of the Taichang Temple in the Kingdom of Jin. Under the orders of the Great Sage of the Kingdom of Jin, the Emperor of Heaven, I respectfully welcome my heroic athlete back!"
"Living up to the entrustment of the king, thanks to the bravery of the three armies, the thieves restrained their hands and beheaded three thousand to show the power of the emperor!"
This Qing of Taichang Temple was the head of the Nine Qings, and he looked like a Han. After the conversation between the two, Tian Fengchang reached out and took the reins of Zhang Zhao's horse, and started walking directly to the high platform where Li Shengtian was standing. There, there was an even grander ceremony. Etiquette is still waiting for the soldiers who have returned from the bloody battle.
