Arlodo is running! He could run to the horse immediately. As long as he could mount the horse, those armored Tang'er soldiers would not be able to catch him.
He even took the time to observe his surroundings, and sure enough, the people running around him were all his tribesmen. The Chiyi tribe belonged to a branch of the third surname Ge Luolu. They escaped and sold their teammates for backstabbing. They were professionals!
'Whoosh! 'An arrow flew past Aluodudu's left ear, and Aluoduo even felt the burning sensation caused by the arrow cutting through the air.
Fortunately it was off!
However, he felt lucky in his heart when a scream of "Wow" came from his ears, and a tribesman running behind him was hit.
The long tail feathers were stuck on the cheeks of his clansman. The clansman even continued to run regardless of the pain. However, every time he ran, he was injured again, and his speed quickly slowed down.
Aluoduo did not feel sad, but felt relieved. A straggler clan member could hold off a few pursuers for him again!
"Boom!" Another sound of bowstrings was heard, and another tribesman beside him fell down.
Only then did Aluoduo realize that the shooter was Tang'er on the sand dune. He was standing about twenty steps away from Aluoduo, holding a long-tipped bow and firing continuously.
court death!
Aluoduo took out the short knife that he had not thrown away from his waist. The remaining tribesmen looked at each other and prepared to work together to kill the archer first, otherwise they would not be able to escape if they were entangled.
But at this moment, yellow sand rolled up all over the sky, and the rapid sound of horse hooves came from the distance. Not far in front of them, a cavalry came!
Could it be that Diluo Dagan from Loulan City sent someone here? Aluoduo was very happy, because they were recruited by Dirodagan.
"Aluo Duo! Look!" Before the joy in his heart could reach his face, Aluo Duo heard the exclamations from his tribe around him.
He looked up and saw that the cavalry on the opposite side had dispersed in a crescent shape, and they were flanking and flanking them. The leading knight held a high flag in his hand. The flag had a cyan background with the sun, moon and stars painted on it.
"Three Morning Flags! It's the Three Morning Flags! This is the military flag of the Tang Dynasty! How could the Tang Army appear here?"
A Luoduo roared in his heart, then the ball spun around, and he wisely fell to the ground and stopped running! I can't even run away!
. . . .
The battle is over! Bai Congxin and others had already returned to their positions, which marked the end of this group of cavalry. Even the leader Mahashd knelt on the ground and remained silent.
Regarding the first battle after time travel, Zhang Zhao felt like he was full of energy but failed to use it.
I thought that the battles in the cold weapon era must be extremely brutal, but in fact it was a bit anticlimactic. He made arrangements, and also arranged for a bypass and a surprise attack. However, the enemy surrendered within a few minutes of the battle.
"You Guiwei people are so brave. Not to mention stealing my land in Shazhou, you actually dare to intercept my envoys from the Guiyi Army. I will go to Zhongyun King Sanpoba to argue, it is lawless!"
When he saw that his side had won the battle, Fan Running, who had been a little uneasy just now, began to tremble. He rushed to the bruised and swollen Mahashd, pointed at his face and cursed loudly.
The so-called Zhongyun Kingdom and Zhongyun tribe are actually the Loulan survivors who migrated to Ruoqiang in later generations, and can also be called Shanshan people.
In the Tang Dynasty, the ancient city of Loulan and Muni City (Ruoqiang), as well as Datun City and Shicheng City in Zhongyun Kingdom, were all under the jurisdiction of Shazhou.
However, after the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the Guiyi Army in Shazhou was really unable to manage the area seven or eight hundred miles away, so the Loulan people established themselves as the Zhongyun Kingdom here.
Mahashd closed his eyes and lay down flat on his back. However, Aroldo, who was not seriously injured, was very good at seizing opportunities.
"We are not from Zhongyun. I have something urgent to report. As long as the general spares me!"
Aluoduo didn't even look at Fan Running, who was pretending to be a bully. Instead, he targeted Zhang Zhao for mercy. He could see that among the group of people, Zhang Zhao was the one who kept his word.
"You are not from Zhongyun, so where are you from? Tell me honestly!"
Of course, Zhang Zhao did not need to ask questions. Ma Yaozi, who liked to show off his power most, took the initiative to replace Zhang Zhao.
"We were recruited by Dirodagan!" Aluoduo kneeled on the ground and lowered his head and said softly.
"Diro Dagan?" Zhang Zhao was stunned for a moment. The word Dagan gave him a very bad memory.
"Diloda Gan? He is a Uighur from Gaochang? He recruited you to work in Puchang Sea, where the water is almost drying up... huh?
Damn it! Are you dog slaves here to intercept us? "
Before Zhang Zhao finished speaking, he had already come to his senses. The ancient city of Loulan in Puchanghai could only support a hundred nomads, so it was of no value at all.
Therefore, no matter it is the Gaochang Uighurs in the north or the Guiyi Army in the east, no one is interested in occupying this place. The nomadic people here are a small tribe of Canwei people.
Then what does Dagan, the Uighur from Gaochang, do to recruit so many people? Who are they trying to target? Zhang Zhao suddenly thought of a possibility!
This time the Guiyi Army was sent to Khotan as an envoy. In fact, in addition to discussing further marriage alliances, the two parties also had an important plan, which was to improve the transportation conditions between the two parties.
This is no small matter, because at this time, the main source of income for the governments in the Hexi Corridor is still the Silk Road, which has begun to shrink. This long commercial road that has existed since the Han Dynasty is still playing a role in connecting east and west. important role.
Just like Dunhuang, tens of thousands of merchants of all ethnic groups pass by every year, which is an important source of finance and taxation for the Guiyi Army. Even the Guiyi Army has to do some second-hand business to replenish its warehouse.
After the Silk Road leaves Dunhuang, there are two ways to go.
One is the south, leaving Dunhuang and passing through the Puchang Sea, then to Datun City, Guni City (Ruoqiang), Yuechang City (Qiemu), then to Khotan, then to Shule (near Kashgar) and finally to Malyinang. (Fergana Basin) to Persia and India.
The second route is to the north, taking Yizhou (Hami), Gaochang (Turpan), Qiuci and other places, entering Balasagun and Talos and then going to Persia and other places.
In terms of current travel safety and convenience of supplies along the way, there are far more people going north, passing through Gaochang Uighur territory, than going south through Zhongyun and Khotan.
This is beneficial to the Gaochang Uighurs, but not necessarily to the Guiyi Army.
The original goods from the east were first choked by the Ganzhou Uighurs, and then they were embarrassed by the Gaochang Uighurs in the west. Therefore, the Guiyi Army's successive military governors hoped to allow the Silk Road to go south.
Because the relationship between the Guiyi Army and the Khotan family is extraordinary, Yutian will of course agree, so the two parties have been in contact many times, but this will cut off an important source of wealth for the Gaochang Uighurs! Naturally, they will not sit idly by and ignore it.
