It has been ten days since they entered the Fergana Basin, and they have already captured more than 200,000 cattle and sheep, more than 40,000 horses, and more than 6,000 camels, all of which have been sent back to Shule one after another.

Good luck to cattle and sheep, but very troublesome for food.

Since the looting, there are always 300,000 hu of dendrobium. But after half a month, the 50,000-strong army has only consumed less than 20,000 hu of dendrobium, millet and wheat. There is so much food that the warriors are reluctant to go out to herd horses and just take it.

Food feeding.

The harvest was huge. Now the mood in the army was high. They were talking about capturing a big city and robbing it hard before withdrawing their troops. Shao Shude had agreed before.

Things seem to be going well in the north.

In almost half a month, more than 100,000 cavalry swept across various places, directly knocking Persia into confusion.

In his view, the Persians' several troop dispatches were all self-rescue actions of local officials, lacking coordination at the imperial court level. So he kept sending troops just like a gourd boy saving his grandfather.

Shao Shude put himself in his shoes and thought that if he were the Prime Minister of Persia, after receiving the news, he would hold a meeting to discuss how to rescue Talas, Bakhna, and Shashi (Tashkent), Samarkand and other places that may be threatening.

If the efficiency is high, this will almost reach a decision.

The next step is to coordinate the large armies that are fighting rebellions in various places and withdraw some of the troops.

This is not an easy task, and retreating in front of the enemy is not that simple. In some places, it is even impossible to retreat. It is necessary for the imperial court to pardon the rebellious officials in order to cease the war and withdraw.

Therefore, there is a high probability that a wave of mobilization will be needed in the hinterland where no war has broken out, and local garrisons will be mobilized and assembled in the capital, Samarkand and other places.

The dispatch of a large army requires huge supplies of materials. Naturally, they cannot rob their own people in the country. They can only allocate and transport them from various treasury. The army also needs to march from various places to the assembly point.

This process cannot be completed within a month. A small number of vanguard troops will set off if they are exhausted. However, if they rush into the battlefield rashly, with the huge gap in troops, it will also end up with the Calabash Man saving Grandpa.

So, there is still plenty of time.

But manpower is ultimately no match for the weather, and Shao Shude's biggest enemy is actually the winter snow.

"Draft a copy of the edict and send it to Secretary Supervisor Cui." Shao Shude opened his eyes and said: "Let my son fight south. If the Talas can't take it, forget it. Don't force it, you can go around. Go south, go

Move forward in the direction of Shashi. On the other hand, tell Dalang that I will leave in mid-September and let him make his own decisions. The Persians may send reinforcements, so they must consider the retreat in advance and how to arrange their troops. Think about it in advance.

.Please note that this is a secret decree, and my son can only reveal it to close people."

"According to the order." Yue Liduo responded.

"Do you have any opinions?" Shao Shude looked at Mengshi and asked.

"Well……"

"Forget it, work hard." Shao Shude closed his eyes.

Time was running out, and he had decided to find a way to transport the captured grain back to Shule, at least part of it.

Don't worry about the losses on the road, it's a business without capital anyway.

Whether Fergana can be captured in the future depends on the generals and Dalangs stationed in the west.

The cultivated land area of ​​a small basin was close to one-third of the entire Xinjiang in later generations, which is astonishing.

Even at this time, more than four million hu of grain was produced a year. It seemed that the Persian governor did not receive much tax, but was that because he was poor? Yield is output and tax is tax. The two are not the same concept. In fact

Most of the food in the world is eaten by producers and consumers themselves, but what if they are not allowed to eat it?

From now on, we must continue to attack. Let the country's 176,000 miscellaneous soldiers take turns to go westward, win and eliminate internal troubles, defeat and eliminate internal troubles, and also prevent Persia from taking action to solve internal problems, and finally form an internal

Samampos is full of contradictions and relatively weak overall.

This is beneficial. Because the Great Cannibals do not have as strong a desire to expand the majesty of the Creator as Samampos, and I don’t know what is wrong in the minds of those people in Bukhara.

But it doesn't matter, I will help you lose weight and reduce your burden. From now on, focus your energy on the country, and stop thinking about expanding in the Western Regions.
