Chapter 402 Imperial Cemetery
After the bloody sweep of Bari, Yang Feng left 10,000 coalition troops in this dilapidated city. After all, this is his flank, and it is definitely not possible to leave the army defense. With these 10,000 people, even if the cannibal suddenly launched an attack, it would be enough to defend it in a short time. He led 50,000 main forces, including the Tang army, to the east and attack Kundus, or the name at this time...
Cang Changcheng.m.
Three days later.
"Why are we not attacking?"
In the tent that is as warm as spring, Bai Xiaode humbly asked for advice.
He had almost become a brainless fan of Yang Feng throughout the way. This guy who was much younger than himself was simply too sinister and vicious, too evil and cruel, too...
Anyway, it made him worship him!
Of course, the main reason was that Yang Feng had his wealth expanded at an astonishing speed. He had already sent gold, silver and jewelry to Kucha twice. The beauty could gather a team together. The BMWs and good horses were almost enough for a horse farm, and the losses were insignificant. In fact, the Tang army had never fought from Kangju. They were all servants fighting desperately. Yang Feng was not stupid. He would definitely not do such stupid things as cannon fodder without using his own army. Almost all the Tang army lined up as a deterrent, and then drove Sogdian soldiers to sweep the city.
The cavalry swept the periphery, and when he encountered a strong fortress, he was just going up to lead the rhythm, and the rest was basically destroyed. Therefore, the three thousand Tang troops who followed Bai Xiaode had died in Kangju for more than 100 times, and the cavalry of Sailye were killed in total, but the total number of cavalrymen in Sailye was less than fifty. Such a exchange ratio was dreamed of by all generals, and this result was largely due to Yang Feng's cunning and cruel mind. He was amazed at the courage and fearlessness of the Sogdian vassal army.
It’s different to have stress.
Let those Zhaowu Kingdom kill all the cannibals themselves and carve monuments to commemorate them, otherwise they would go to the city to massacre. This style is simply amazing, and the effect is also amazing. In order to avoid the Sogdians who have no way to retreat, after the Tang army retreated, they can be said to have bloody battles south of Tiemen Pass, and they are determined to kill more cannibals, so as to gain a sense of security in the future.
But Yang Feng changed his style in the city.
He no longer went to battle wherever he went, and opened the city gate in a violent style, and then let the hungry wolves go in and wash the city, but instead played the siege tactic seriously.
"Are we in a hurry?"
Yang Feng put down the parchment in his hand and said.
The female slave of the big food knelt beside him quickly picked up the teacup with both hands and served it carefully. At this time, in this huge tent, except for Yang Feng and Bai Xiaode, there were all beauties, such as the big food beauties and Sogdian beauties, and there were two Mediterranean styles. The candlelight was swaying around, and a stove with copper-skinned chimneys were beating. These beauties were all wearing thin clothes, lying or kneeling on felt covered with bear skins, and a few were even dressed in disheveled...
By the way, life is really not in a hurry.
"Of course I'm anxious. There are still a lot of places in the south waiting for us to grab it, uh, go and recover it!"
Bai Xiaode said.
"No, no, we won't go to the south, at least this time, all we need to do is clean up the Tochar area, so we have enough time to surround here first, then scatter the army to clean up the surroundings, and attract other cannibals from all over the world to rescue them. It is very troublesome to clean up the mountainous areas, but this city change is something they must be saved. As long as we surround them and do not attack them, they will definitely organize the rescue, and then we can easily destroy them on the plain."
Yang Feng said.
Of course he wouldn't attack south.
Where is the south?
Empire Cemetery!
He was not interested in touching the land that seemed to be cursed, and his sad souls were watching him in the sky of the future! From the lobster soldiers of the Empire of the Sun never set to the brave and fearless Soviet soldiers, to the American soldiers who died with their eyes closed.
He didn't want to have a group of Tang soldiers inside.
Besides, what is the best place to grab poor mountains and bad waters? At this time, it is estimated that his huge army would not even be able to eat enough food. Could it be that he would go to eat those mountain people? Anyway, the sheep they raised were definitely not enough for 50,000 hungry wolves to eat. Kunduz is very good. The climate here is warm and the water is lush. It is only three days away from Termez. It takes less than two days to force the army to arrive. His huge cavalry army can stay here comfortably, and there are also a steady supply of materials from various countries in Zhaowu behind. It will be surrounded for two months before you can attract the tribes in the mountain area to rescue and then destroy them. When you are about to leave, you will be able to break the bloodbath in one fell swoop, and then you can go home with gold, silver, jewelry and women.
“Is that important here?”
Bai Xiaode said incredible.
"General, Ningyuan cavalry captured a team of Tubo merchants coming from the Pamir Mountains."
At this time, an officer came in to report.
"What are they transporting? Salt and armor?"
Yang Feng asked.
"Yes, the general knows everything. These Tubo merchants transported musk, salt and armor. The armor was extremely strong and was not even inferior to the Mingguang armor in our mainland."
The officer said.
"You know why this place is important now?"
Yang Feng said to Bai Xiaode.
This is an important town on the salt road parallel to the Silk Road. No matter what the reason is, one must know one thing. At this time, West Asia and Central Asia really don’t know how to produce salt. One of their important sources of salt is the faraway Tubo, a business road from Tubo through Ali to the Pamir Plateau, through Kabul and then to Kunduz, bringing salt from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, that is, Afghanistan, in the river, and even Khorasan and other places. These salts are dug out from the mysterious Xiangxiong Salt Lake, carried by those poor goats, and traveled through thousands of miles of mountains and ridges across the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Pamir Plateau...
It is no wonder that the salt cooked by Yang Feng is so popular. Just look at this terrifying transportation route and you will know how the people of Central Asia cheered for him.
Actually it's not just here.
Even the south of the Himalayas, especially Nepal and other places, rely on the salt from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to maintain life, rather than relying on the waters of the Bay of Bengal, which is close to the nearby sea. It has to be said that this is such a strange era, and many things are very challenging people's imagination. Even when Yang Feng knew that Nepali actually ate the salt transported from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, rather than the sea salt transported from the Ganges River, he felt that ten thousand alpacas were galloping past.
This is too provoking his IQ.
In addition to salt, there is also the precious spice musk, which can even be sold to Europe. What is even more speechless is that the giant cannibal actually bought armor from Tubo at a high price...
This is indeed a slap in the face.
Especially when slapping those Arabs blow their faces.
These salts are the most indispensable thing for the tribes in the surrounding mountainous areas. Kunduz is also the only intersection for the salt to be transported out of the Pamir Plateau. Those mountain people who rely on the mountainous areas to defend must regain this city that concerns their life and death, otherwise they will have no salt to eat. In addition to the oasis areas on the south bank of the Amu River, most of the surrounding mountainous areas in Afghanistan at this time did not complete the large-scale food transformation, but were just some conquered tribes. In this way, as long as they showed sufficiently powerful military power, they might be forced to join the coalition camp.
For example, let them return to the Persian flag.
In fact, Yang Feng is already considering changing the future Persian governor.
For example, Kunduz is good.
The Persian Governor's Office was stationed in Kunduz, and the Kangju Governor's Office was established in Samarkand. One blocked the Tiemen Pass and the other blocked the Wakhan Corridor, which formed two peripheral fortresses for the Tang Dynasty. It acted as a frontier to resist the cannibals during defense and acted as a logistics base during attack. After Gao Xianzhi broke through the Lianyun Fort and Feng Changqing conquered the Dabolu, the Pamir Plateau was re-controlled by the Tang army. From Anxi, it could directly transport supplies through the Wakhan Corridor to come here. First beat the cannibals first, and you must beat them a little badly. It would be better that they would not have the courage to think about this area for several years. Then let the Persian Governor take the banner of Persia restoration here and continue to recruit surrender and rebel on the old territories of the Sassanid Dynasty, which means that the power of the cannibals cannibals cannibals cannibals cannibals cannibals cannibals.
Then in the short term, Yang Feng will ignore this.
Moreover, a civil war will break out within Dashi next, which will help him solve the problem of An Lushan winning the window period.
He could even hook up with the monarch of Dashi.
It must be understood that Abu Musilin is also the enemy of the Dashi monarch to some extent. Khurashan is actually equivalent to the Dashi vassal state, and it is a strong vassal state that can influence the emperor's candidates. Yang Feng beat the Khurashan legion to solve the hidden dangers for the Dashi monarch. Abu Musilin relied on force to change two emperors and a dynasty to this empire. No such minister is not afraid of such a minister. If he continues to target the Khurashan legion next, then someone will definitely stab the Khurashan legion behind him.
At one point, he and Emperor Dashi were natural allies.
This is very important to the Tochar region with Kunduz as its core.
What's more, this place can block the business paths of the Tubo people.
This is also very important.
After all, Dashi is not the number one strong enemy of the Tang Dynasty, and Tubo is the only one. No opportunity to weaken Tubo cannot be spared.
"This place, it's best not to destroy it!"
Yang Feng said to himself.
"Well, general, what should those Tubo merchants deal with?"
The officer next to him asked carefully.
"Tubo merchants? Kill them, of course, kill them. From now on, all the Tubo merchants who appear on this route, whether they leave or return to the Pamir Mountains, will kill them without leaving any of them!"
Chapter completed!
