Wu Jie didn't say much, just one sentence, but it made Bi Lege and his ministers completely relieved.
This reason is very simple. How could the Song Dynasty give up its land to its allies? This is impossible. As for how to do it specifically, Wu Jie really has no way to give any answer. This matter has to be handled by Zhao Kai and Li Qi took control, but Wu Jie also believed that if Li Qi's character didn't do it, they would be in a state of ecstasy, and the sun would set to the east.
In fact, the Song Dynasty's external expansion strategy still adopted the strategy of distant friendship and close attack. The Gaochang Uighurs were far away from the mainland of the Song Dynasty, but Xixia was just around the corner, and they could reach Bianliang, Tokyo directly by passing Fuzhou and Taiyuan. Then the Song Dynasty would definitely find a way. To weaken Xixia, the situation of the war is still unclear. Let's get over this difficulty first.
At this point in the conversation, Wu Jie gradually put away his social smile and started talking about business.
Why did Wu Jie take such a risk and launch a lightning attack on the Gaochang Uighurs? It was because his Zhenxi Army was too far away from Xingqing Mansion. By the time he rushed over, the day lilies would have been cold, but the Gaochang Uighurs were in Shazhou, Guazhou, and even There are soldiers and horses guarding Suzhou. If the Gaochang Uighurs can return to the Song Dynasty and lend them to him, plus the 20,000 to 30,000 horses in the Hehuang area, he will have enough capital to fight Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Xiyin. The battle was over, and he could reach Xingqing Mansion very quickly, because in this case, he only had to ride a fast horse to go there by himself. The supply line was all there, so there was no need to mobilize troops.
In fact, Wu Jie came to borrow troops, and he could also block Wanyan Zongwang's retreat and cut off their supply lines, thereby weakening the Jin army.
Coincidentally, Bilege has accepted Balta's suggestion and fully helped the Song Dynasty to deal with the Jin Kingdom, because since they chose to betray the Jin Kingdom, there is no way out. If the Song Dynasty loses, then they can It was even worse than when he helped Wanyan Zongwang. This time, the Gaochang Uighurs will be even more determined to fight without hesitation.
After hearing this, Wu Jie was overjoyed and said that he had sent people to organize businessmen from the Hehuang area to do business with you. These merchants will come with food and goods, and they will allow their people to be re-employed and no longer have to worry about food and clothing.
This is not a lie. Businessmen from the Song Dynasty are of course willing to come here. There is cheap labor here. There are rich resources here, and it is very close to the Western Region. You would be a fool not to come.
Bilge was so moved that people's livelihood was his biggest headache at the moment, and the external world was only secondary. If the people in the country were not satisfied, then he would not be far from stepping down. The people had no food to eat, and not only had they to go to the This is the path of rebellion. If Wu Jie can help him solve this problem. Then he was so grateful!
After discussion between the two parties, it was decided that Bilego would first secretly send people to order the guards in Shazhou, Guazhou, and Suzhou to preemptively kill all the Jin troops in the city. These places were already under the control of the Gaochang Uighurs, because they were completely Yan Zongwang did not have so many people guarding these cities. He only sent a small number of soldiers and horses here to take charge of logistics. After all, he was not born to the same parents. If he did not send people here to supervise, the Uighurs would risk their lives to help him transport them. Food?
This is not realistic.
That day. Bilego appointed another supervisor, Tutuhan, and asked Tutuhan to follow Wu Jie and lead the soldiers and horses in the Hexi Corridor to destroy Wanyan Zongwang's army.
Although this Bilge is not a wise master, he is not stupid or incompetent either. At least he knew how to listen to the advice of ministers, assess the situation, and choose the side that was most beneficial to him.
"Compared to this Bilge, the leader of the Eastern Kara Khanate, Ibrahim II, is really a fool-level leader. Ibrahim II's father, Ahmad, is a wise king. He also defeated the powerful Yelu Dashi in history, and the worst thing Ahmad did in his life was to give birth to a prodigal son, Ibrahim.
This Ibrahim II has no skills at all, but he is very fond of martial arts. His eyes are on the top of his head. I don¡¯t know if he has practiced some Eight Desolate Only One Kung Fu. Anyway, in his heart, apart from Wanyan Zongwang, he is the most powerful. .
After he learned that the main force of the Song army had withdrawn from Shule, he immediately gathered the army to capture Shule. This was a treasure land. Under the governance of the Song Dynasty, it was richer than before, but Shule was originally their eastern land. Karahan, and he was also afraid that the Gaochang Uighurs would take the lead, but at that time their domestic ministers unanimously opposed sending troops. The Song Dynasty was so powerful that if they didn¡¯t come to trouble you, you would have to burn incense. You also went to find trouble for Song Dynasty. You are full and have nothing to do. What's more, something happened suddenly. None of the soldiers were prepared. You sent troops hastily. If an accident occurs, it will be dangerous. Our big brother Jin The country has no time to take care of us now.
Ibrahim II refused to listen and sacrificed the flag and sent troops to Shule.
And if they want to march to Shule, they must pass west of Shule.At Uzbeli Pass, just as their army entered Uzbeli Pass, tens of thousands of cavalry suddenly came out of the Pamir Ridge to the west. The leader of these tens of thousands of cavalry was none other than Jeyelu Dashi, a member of that generation. , How can the idiot Ibrahim II be Dashi's opponent?
However, at this time, all the army of Ibrahim II was in the canyon, and there were so many troops that they could not turn around at all.
Yelu Dashi led only 20,000 elites to blast Ibrahim II's chrysanthemum. It was like chopping melons and vegetables. In just an hour, the frightened Ibrahim II who had been killed not only did not command the army to fight, but saw the front The soldiers trampled on each other, and the enemy behind them waved their swords, sat on their horses and cried bitterly, urinating on the spot. The soldiers of Dongkara Khan saw that the emperor's crotch was wet, so why did they fight? They all abandoned their weapons and surrendered. .
As soon as they surrendered, Yelu Dashi immediately ordered the soldiers to stop, because these people were already his soldiers, and killing them now would be killing their own people.
It turns out that Yelu Dashi accepted Li Qi's suggestion, abandoned Shule City, which he had finally captured, and then acted in a play with Li Qi, and then fled to the Western Regions. In fact, Yelu Dashi had a hidden secret at that time. This even Li Qi Even if they don't know, Yelu Dashi deliberately sent news to Xikara Khan that Dongkara Khan was on his deathbed, so as to lure Xikara Khan to attack Dongkara Khan.
After he left Shule, he led tens of thousands of cavalry to Samarkand, the capital of Western Kara Khan.
Because of the expedition of Xikara Khan's army, the country must be empty. The only thing that can stop Dashi is the endless desert. It can be regarded as Yelu Dashi's destiny. The army successfully crossed the desert and captured Samarkand in one fell swoop. And the army of Western Kara Khan was almost completely annihilated by Wanyan Zongwang in Eastern Kara Khan. Before they could recover, the capital was lost, and Western Kara Khan was already on the verge of destruction.
But this Western Karakhan was a vassal state of a powerful empire in Central Asia. This empire was called the Seljuk Empire.
The emperor of the Seljuk Empire saw that Yelu Dashi was so arrogant. This powerful dragon could not overwhelm the local snake. Besides, I am also a dragon. You dare to fight even my younger brother. Are you not looking for death? He immediately gathered an army of 150,000 men and went to attack Yelu Dashi, threatening to shoot all the Khitan people's hair with bows and arrows.
In fact, this scene has also appeared in history, and the time is similar, but the situation is different. Yelu Dashi in history has already proclaimed himself emperor at this time, and has his own territory, but now Yelu Dashi's life is on a thread, life and death. This is the battle.
But the result has not changed.
Although Yelu Dashi's military strength is only one-fifth of the opponent's. However, he seized on the opponent's arrogance and arrogance, as well as the fact that there were too many troops, and they were transferred from various vassal states, making it difficult to unite and command uniformly. Taking advantage of the opponent's military parade, he dispatched an attack to concentrate his troops. He stormed the left wing of the Seljuk army, which was immediately defeated because there were too many troops. The right side cannot be seen from the left, and the left side cannot be seen from the right. The soldiers in the center and right wing only saw the soldiers from the left wing fleeing, and they did not know what the situation was. Suddenly the morale of the army was in chaos, and they were defeated by the Khitan warriors from Yelu Dashi.
After this battle, the Seljuk Empire was no longer able to conquer the Yelu Dashi, and could only recognize the status of the Yelu Dashi. The Yelu Dashi stationed in Samarkand also surrendered the Qalulu people and surrounding ethnic groups. But Yelu Dashi has never forgotten that the Khitan blood flows in his body, and his desire to restore the country is getting stronger every day, so he has been watching the Central Plains area, hoping to have the opportunity to go back.
After the Jin army conquered Xixia, Yelu Dashi knew that his opportunity had come, so he secretly led his army to the west of Shule to lurk. After learning that the Song and Jin Dynasties were at war, he immediately came to Shule and found Wu Jie, hoping that The Song Dynasty can support him in restoring his country, because after all, he is too far to the east. If he wants to return to the Khitan homeland, it will be difficult to keep up with supplies. If the Song Dynasty is willing to support him, it will be much easier for him to fight, but Yelu Dashi also has capital now. , he came with grain and grass, and he gave the grain, grass and some horses to Wu Jie, and then you, the Song Dynasty, supported me in the Central Plains to go back and destroy the Jin Kingdom. This is an equal exchange.
According to the rules, Wu Jie did not agree to any conditions of Yelu Dashi, but when Li Qi left Shule, he told Wu Jie that if the war between Song and Jin Dynasty started, if Yelu Dashi wanted to come in, he would be allowed in, as long as he The request is not too excessive, so I agree to it.
The two discussed secretly all night, and both felt that if they wanted to send troops from here, they must first eliminate the Eastern Kara Khan and the Gaochang Uighurs, because these two countries are vassal states of the Jin Kingdom. If you don't defeat them, the rear will be unstable. Moreover, Wu Jie also had to send a large number of soldiers and horses to guard this place. On the one hand, he had to prevent the Gaochang Uighurs and Eastern Kara Khans, and on the other hand, he had to deter the Tibetan tribes. After all, the Tibetans had just conquered it, and without force to deter them, they would probably resurgence. .
So the two of them discussed this idea?The plan is to simply not move the Zhenxi Army here, because this is our rear area and must be consolidated, and it is too far to return to defend Xingqing Mansion or even the Yanyun area from here, so we might as well surrender first. Gaochang Uighurs, if you borrow troops from him, you can send troops directly from Suzhou, and the distance will be shortened by more than half. You only need to go alone.
But if you want to conquer the Gaochang Uighurs by force, it will not be accomplished in a day. It is better to send troops from here.
Wu Jie was good at fighting, but not so good in politics. However, Yelu Dashi could be the number one scholar in the Liao Kingdom, and he was a master of literary and military skills. He analyzed the current situation for Wu Jie and planned the blitzkrieg, including the letter. They were all written by Yelu Dashi. Wu Jie reciprocated the favor and came up with a plan to seduce Dongkara Khan, and by the way, he also dealt with Dongkara Khan.
¡°These two are both military geniuses, not comparable to Ibrahim and Belgo.
The two acted according to their plan, and almost at the same time they surrendered the Gaochang Uighurs and eliminated the Eastern Kara Khan. Wanyan Zongwang must have never dreamed that these two little brothers were so vulnerable.
To solve this worry, Wu Jie and Yelu Dashi went straight to Heishui City. Wu Jie led his army out of Suzhou and went straight to Wanyan Zongwang's main force. Yelu Dashi led the army to take advantage of the Gaochang Uighur Road and went straight to Heishui City. This Heishui City But it was Wanyan Xiyin¡¯s base camp for the Western Expedition.
Because they had soldiers of various ethnic groups in their hands, Central Asia was also involved in this war by Yelu Dashi and Wu Jie. There were Buddhist believers and Muslims. From this moment on, a real Asian war The war has completely begun.
