...

Although the Seljuk Empire is countless times closer than Dazhong, the result is that Dazhong first assembled the army and prepared for war.

It can be seen from this that Dazhong, which has an extremely perfect system and a high degree of centralization, is much more efficient than the Seljuk Empire.

In addition to this, after the successive deaths of Malik Shah and Nizam Mulek, cracks began to appear in the Seljuk Empire. The Sahin tribe occupied many fortresses in Persia and Syria, attacked the Seljuk army, and carried out assassination activities, which caused the Seljuk Empire to disintegrate. In fact, there are some objective factors.

First of all, the army assembled this time is not just the army of the Seljuk Empire, but the coalition forces organized by the entire Iraqi world and the various forces of the Muslim religion. How many troops my family sends out, who will provide supplies, how to divide the spoils, etc., etc., this kind of thing, it will be for three to five days, it will be for three to five months, and it will be for three to five years, which is very, very time-consuming.

More importantly, beforehand, Sancar and others never expected that Dazhong, who was thousands of miles away, would really fight this battle. More importantly, they never expected that the Chinese army would gather so quickly—— In Sanjar they want to come, even if the Chinese army can fly, it is absolutely impossible to gather so quickly. Therefore, after the Chinese army has passed Congling, they are still wrangling there, which leads to the people who want to gather before leaving Sanjar. The 100 million army is still more than half short.

Yue Fei, who had already dispatched the spies, saw that the Iraqi Allied Forces were so slow in responding, and his own troops were almost assembled, so he boldly proposed to Li Yan: We'd better strike first.

Yue Fei's proposal was supported by many generals such as Liu Qi, Wu Lin, Yang Xian, and Wang De.

Li Yan has always employed people without suspicion. Therefore, Li Yan decisively appointed Yue Fei as the capital marshal and Liu Kai as the deputy marshal, and then asked Yue Fei and Wang De to lead an army of [-] to attack from the east road, and let Liu Kai and Wu Lin Leading an army of [-] to attack from the west road, Li Yan and Zhang Xian personally led the remaining army to the rear, and continued to enter Guiyuan City while meeting Yue Fei and Liu Kai.

After receiving Li Yan's order, Yue Fei immediately used Yue Yun as the forward to attack Talas in the west, while Liu Kai used Wu Gong and Zhe Yanwen as forwards to attack Shule and Shache respectively, intending to live with them Conley.

In this western expedition, Li Yan brought out all young generals.

Yue Fei, 38 this year.

Liu Kai, 43 this year.

Wu Lin, 39 this year.

Zhang Xian, 41 this year.

Wang De is the oldest, only 44.

And some older generals, like Han Shizhong, Wu Jie, and Niu Gao, were just over fifty, and Li Yan didn't take them with them.

Moreover, Li Yan's generals this time are mainly young generals - like Yue Yun, Wu Gong (the eldest son of Wu Jie), Han Yanzhi (the eldest son of Han Shizhong), Liu Rui (the younger brother of Liu Kai), Liu Huai (the eldest son of Liu Kai) , Yang Tan (the eldest son of Yang Yizhong), and Zhe Yanwen (the eldest son of Zhe Keqiu).

In addition, Li Yan also told Yue Fei, Liu Qi and others in private that more opportunities should be given to young people.

In other words, Li Yan's expedition to the west is also training young people and cultivating the successors of the Dazhong Empire.

By the way, many of these young generals are Li Yan's sons-in-law.

Yue Yun is the number one fighter among the younger generation, brave and resourceful, and has fought with Yue Fei in the north and south in these years. He has rich experience in battle and outstanding achievements in battle - if it weren't for Yue Fei's deliberate suppression of Yue Yun in these years, With Yue Yun's military achievements, he can now be promoted to be the leader of the capital.

Last time, when the expeditionary army attacked Talas, if the Turkic cavalry hadn't suddenly rushed out from behind, Yue Yun, as the forward, would have led his men to attack Talas, but failed at the last moment.

This time, Yue Yun made a comeback, and another large army came to attack the formation. As a result, Yue Yun invaded Talas in one battle.

This was not over yet, Yue Yun chased and killed Ge Luolu's people for more than 3000 miles, and finally captured Ge Luolu's Da Khan's family, and dedicated them to Li Yan who had already arrived in Guiyuan City.

Soon, Yue Fei dispatched troops and generals to completely wipe out Ge Luolu.

Wan Yanchang was very good at figuring out what Li Yan meant, so he proposed to Li Yan to kill Ge Luolu.

But Wan Yanchang's proposal was firmly opposed by Shi Hao and Yelu Dashi.

but--

Although both Shi Hao and Yelu Dashi opposed Li Yan's massacre, they had different reasons for their opposition - the former was to instill benevolence in Li Yan with Confucianism and ask Li Yan to kill carefully.The latter believes that Dazhong only came to Central Asia, and it is not appropriate to stimulate the various forces in Central Asia with a massacre. The cost of war in should be increased.

After listening to a lot of other people's suggestions, most of them did not suggest that Li Yan slaughter the Ge Luolu people. Li Yan finally restrained his dislike for the Ge Luolu people and sent people to kill Ge Luolu's women and children. Send them back to Dazhong, and let the Ministry of Households resettle them—send Ge Luolu's children to schools to be trained as Han children, and reward Ge Luolu's women to Chinese soldiers who have made meritorious service.Ge Luolu's men were all escorted back to Dingyuan City to repair the railway and contribute to the Belt and Road Initiative.As for the daughter of Ge Luolu's royal family, she naturally entered Li Yan's harem.

At the same time, Wu Gong and Zhe Yanwen also entered the capitals of Shule Kingdom and Shache Kingdom, and then Liu Qi sent Wu Lin to destroy Kangli.

In such a short period of time, Dazhong sent more than 100 million troops (the more than 100 million reserve civilians were also regarded as the regular army)-in other words, this is also normal, Dazhong's reserves are all retired from the regular army and The militiamen who have received formal training, the key is, just in case, Li Yan also distributed weapons to them. Not only did every reserve soldier have knives and guns, some of them were also distributed with muskets, and even every battalion There are a few cannons, with their combat power, they are definitely much stronger than the fighters of most forces in the Western Regions and Central Asia. Therefore, it is no wonder that the people in the Western Regions and Central Asia misunderstood.

Of course, the most important thing is that the Chinese army wiped out Ge Luolu and Kangli, who were very famous in the Western Regions and Central Asia, with a thunderous force.

The strength displayed by Dazhong is much stronger than that of the Tang Empire in its heyday.

Dazhong's powerful strength has deterred many forces in the Western Regions and Central Asia.

Slowly, some small forces, like the remnants and descendants of the former 36 countries in the Western Regions, began to visit Li Yan in Guiyuan City.

These petty influencers paid tribute to Li Yan with beauties and treasures, expressing their submission to Li Yan.

They wanted to call Li Yan "Ju'er Khan", which means "Great Khan" or "Khan in Khan" in Turkic.

But when Li Yan heard this title, he was chrysanthemum tight, and then directly rejected it, and let them call himself "Tian Khan" like Li Shimin, without specialization.

"Tian Khan" and "Ju'er Khan" are actually common "Khan names" in the Rouran, Turkic, and Uighur periods. As long as other forces can surrender, they can be called "Ju'er Khan" or "Tian Khan". Khan".

Therefore, since Li Yan doesn't like "Ju'er Khan", he should call it "Tian Khan".

Later, all the people who came to see Li Yan called Li Yan "Heaven Khan", and expressed their willingness to submit to Dazhong and become a subordinate of Dazhong.

For those who voluntarily surrendered, Li Yan accepted them all, incorporated them into his army, and promised them that as long as they made meritorious service, they would be rewarded.

The Chinese army started fighting as soon as it arrived, which shocked all the forces in the Iraqi world. They quickly stopped their arguing and quickly formed a coalition army, preparing to fight the Chinese army to defend the Muslim religion...
