When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

"Hou Shang! Something happened! Something happened in the northeast!"

The ruler of the Jintian clan, Hou Shang, was bending his bow to shoot the wild wolf that was harassing his flock of sheep when he suddenly heard a cry from behind him. His expression changed slightly: "Are the wolves attacking us?"

"No! It's the Tenbu adults!"

"Them? Rebelling?" Hou Shang's expression remained unchanged. He just put down his bow and arrow, turned around and looked at the person who came to report the news.

"No! It was the Tenth Lord who was destroyed by a group of Xuanniao tribes that came from the northeast."

"Xuanniao? Dayi Shang?!" Hou Shang's heart skipped a beat. "How could it be? Where did Dayi Shang come from? Aren't they fighting the damn Qiang people?"

"I don't know the details. But according to the people of the ten tribes who escaped and other remaining tribes, these people holding the black bird flag called themselves the Yan State. There were more than 100,000 people, and they kept coming from the east. The Eagle Tribe of the Ten Tribes fought against them, but was defeated and besieged in one day. They were so scared that they sought help everywhere.

Later, other tribes came to rescue, but failed to defeat the enemy. Instead, they were defeated one by one.

The tribes of the Ten Tribes have basically been occupied by the enemy. We have completely lost our sphere of influence in the east."

Hou Shang frowned when he heard this.

The ten masters, however, all seemed to him to be difficult to deal with.

The result was that such a force was actually crushed by the force coming from the east.

Is this... still the world he knows?
"Okay, continue to explore the situation in the east. Gather as many people as possible who have escaped and give me detailed information as soon as possible."

Hou Shang didn't show much expression. He was completely clueless about the situation in the east. No one knew if there was any problem with the information he brought back, so he decided to wait and see the specific situation before talking about other things.

If by any chance the opponent is really strong, then he will hide here and gather those who escape.

According to his many years of experience, the nearest area to any of the ten tribes' forces hiding in the Ili River Valley is either desert Gobi or mountains. As long as the mountain pass is blocked, the enemy will not be able to get through easily.

Moreover, to cross a distance of thousands of miles, even with the help of carts, cattle and sheep, it would take at least a month. By that time, he would have already made all the arrangements.

Therefore, procrastination becomes the norm.

However, his so-called normal state obviously did not apply to the State of Yan.

Karamay Gobi Desert.

A group of two thousand riders and more than ten thousand horses were galloping across the vast Gobi Desert, approaching the high mountains in the south.

The flying swallow flag told everyone their origins.

"Beibo, there is an outpost of ours ahead."

"Lean closer."

Xin Qu did not hesitate at all. He immediately corrected his direction and quickly approached a simple outpost built with poplar trees.

The Karamay Gobi Desert is not only vast in area, but also has a shortage of water, so it is not easy to fly across it.

But in order to save time and implement the long-distance raid plan, Xin Qu chose to force his way in.

These outposts were all habitable places found by the dispersed personnel when they were hunting down the ten tribes of the Jin Tian clan.

Xinqu approached and found a spring nearby.

Like an oasis.

Near the outpost were slaves being whipped. Upon closer inspection, they were all locals or Seljuq slaves.

They are building this place into a coaching inn.

"Supply." Xin Qu gave the order, and everyone quickly took out the iron pots, built a fire, cut wood, cut down a lot of firewood nearby, and then lit it.

After a while, the water in the outpost was all gone.

It will probably take some time to accumulate savings.

"It can only accommodate 500 people." A young man came to Xin Qu and said, "It can accommodate at most 20 households. If there are more, unless we can find a way to divert more water, this place can only be used as a post station."

Xin Qu nodded, "Write it down, a Class C post station."

The future specifications of the post station were quickly marked on the map.

Class D covers less than ten households, Class C covers ten to thirty households, Class B covers thirty to one hundred households, and Class A covers more than one hundred households.

After designing such a scale, the consumption during the period can also be planned.

Although the Western Regions are remote, someone has to guard it.

Xin Qu looked at it for a while, then turned to Zhou Xin, who was pouring warm water on the wound on his thigh, and said, "How does it feel?"

Zhou Xin's face was pale, and his lips were a little cracked. "I didn't expect the west to be so desolate and far away. Bei Bo, are you really going to abandon me in the west?"

Xin Qu looked at his pitiful appearance, shook his head slightly and said, "Not here. Because of the geographical environment, the northern border is a strategic passage for the barbarians from the Western Regions to move eastward. If you stay here, you will be destroyed in a few years.

About 1,200 miles east of here, there is a basin.

It's hot in summer, but it's a rare oasis. I have rice seeds here to support your local farming. As long as you agree, I will give it to you.

After all, it is very difficult to recover the Zhou Kingdom of the surname Yun."

Zhou Xin was silent.

He did not answer. This was his first time witnessing a raid and a conquest, and he actually knew in his heart that the Zhou family with the surname Yun could no longer keep up with the kings of the Central Plains.

Xin Qu also expressed his attitude.

It was basically a foregone conclusion that the Ji clan would take control of Guanlong.

Xin Qu would not be fooled by Zixun and would not foolishly support the Zhou family with the surname Yun to restore the Guanlong country.

But Xin Qu had to use this Xibo to write an article.

Then the land west of Turpan could be given to Zhou Xin.

In Xinqu's opinion, even if he cannot actually control the Western Regions for the time being, he still needs a fulcrum to support it.

Placing him in the Turpan Basin was also the result of careful consideration.

After all, holding Turpan is equivalent to controlling most of Eastern Xinjiang.

Xinqu would later arrange for the Huns to control Hami and the Hexi Corridor. In this way, he would have completed all the fulcrums for entering and exiting the grasslands, plateaus and the Western Regions.

Anyway, the attitude towards the West, for the time being, is that it is the source of slaves.

There is no reason why we cannot learn from the methods that the Xiongnu and Mongols used to besiege the Central Plains.

After all, when it comes to cavalry alone, I am invincible.

"Don't rush to give an answer. This time you will follow me in the raid. After the victory, you will also be part of the slaves captured by the Ten Tribes. If you really want to return to Guanlong, I can also take you to attack Shefang and Qiongfang.

You can then find another way and fight your way back."

Xin Qu would not force Zhou Xin to make a choice.

Because the option he gave was definitely the best, and he was certain that Zhou Xin would choose to go to Turpan.

After all, Turpan is very rich.

Now Zi Ping is following Ze Yu to attack the Turpan Basin. Although the Western Regions are vast and remote, every oasis that can be inhabited is an excellent place and is extremely rich.

Afterwards, two thousand cavalrymen and more than ten thousand horses, carrying enough water and food, galloped for two days and one night before finally reaching the mountain pass.

"Who are they?! It looks like... the Black Bird Flag! Oh no! They are enemies! They are from the State of Yan! Ah!"

The screams stopped abruptly.

The cavalry galloped, and the leading general swung the precious carved bow in his hand, and the people defending on the mountain pass were immediately shot down.

Then four or five strong men swung huge hammers and smashed open the gate of the village, completely exposing the passage.

Xinqu led his men across at a rapid speed. Another day passed. On the vast Ili grassland, eagles screamed and the earth shook.

"what sound?"

Hou Shang, who was eating boiled mutton, felt like an earthquake and rushed out quickly grabbing the mutton leg. Just as he was about to ask questions, the enemy attack horn sounded, causing him to look over in surprise.

In the distance, smoke and dust filled the sky.

Then the "Swallow" flag appeared on the horizon.

"defense!"

Hou Shang didn't care about anything else, screamed, and hurried to organize a counterattack.

Bang! The gate of the village was knocked open.

"what!"

The war horses rushed into the camp and killed anyone they saw. Anyone who dared to show his head out of the cave was stabbed to death by the spears.

Hou Shang had just climbed onto the chariot and was about to attack when a long spear stabbed at him.

Xin Qu, who was wearing golden armor, looked cold and hit him in the shoulder. With a clang, the bronze shoulder armor collided with the iron spear head. Then Xin Qu increased his strength, and the bronze shoulder armor could not withstand the penetration. Hou Shang opened his mouth and wanted to scream. Before he could make a sound, Xin Qu made a strong move and Hou Shang flew backwards and hit the ground. It was unknown whether he was dead or alive.

Dudududu——

The sound of an axe chopping was heard, and Hou Shang ignored the pain in his body and stood up with difficulty.

Wow!
"Hou Shang is dead! You won't be killed if you surrender!"

Hou Shang looked panicked, looking around, but he saw the flag representing his identity. As the flagpole fell down, he could not withstand the blow and fell to the ground, muttering miserably: "This... is impossible! You! Where did you come from? It's only been a few days! Just a few days!"

Xin Qu led his men in several rounds of attacks. Such heroic actions stunned Zhou Xin and even some of the servants from vassal states who followed him.

I didn't expect that riding alone could be so fun.

Although not as intimidating as chariot soldiers, two thousand light cavalry, each with three horses, and equipped with long-distance raids, are to some extent more flexible than chariot soldiers.

Especially in the Gobi Desert where they had passed before, it was difficult for chariots to pass through, but a single rider could pass through it very quickly.

In short, they did not dare to provoke the State of Yan, which mastered cavalry technology.

I was afraid that Yan State would suddenly send a miraculous army down from the sky one day. (End of this chapter)
