Although the Seljuk Empire was countless times larger than Dazhong, the result was that Dazhong first gathered its troops and prepared for war.

It can be seen from this that Dazhong, which has extremely perfect systems and is highly centralized, is much more efficient by the Seljuk Empire.

In addition to the fact that after Maliksha and Nizam Mulek died one after another, the Seljuk Empire began to show rifts, the royal family fought for the throne, the royal family was infighting, and the military feudal lords in various places were the dominant rule. The Assassin tribe of the Ismayi faction occupied many fortresses in Persia and Syria, attacked the Seljuk army and carried out assassin activities, which led to the disintegration of the Seljuk Empire. In fact, there were some objective factors.

First of all, the army gathered this time is not just the army of the Seljuk Empire, but the coalition forces organized by the entire Iranian world and various Muslim religious forces. Any coalition forces are inevitably arguing, such as how many troops your family can send, how many troops my family can provide supplies, how to divide the spoils, etc., this kind of thing is it for three or five days, three or five months, and three or five years, which is very, very wasteful of time.

More importantly, Sanjar and others did not expect that Dazhong, which is thousands of miles apart, would really fight this battle. More importantly, they never expected that the central army would gather so quickly. In Sanjar and others, even if the central army could fly, it would never be possible to gather so quickly. Therefore, when the central army crossed the Palacioles, they were still quarreling there, which led to a half-distance away from the one million troops that Sanjar wanted to gather before.

Yue Fei, who had already sent out the intelligence personnel, saw that the Yi World Alliance was so slow to react and his own troops were almost assembled, so he boldly proposed to Li Yan: We'd better take the initiative.

Yue Fei's proposal was supported by many generals such as Liu Qi, Wu Lin, Yang Xian, and Wang De.

Li Yan has always used people without doubting them. Therefore, Li Yan decisively appointed Yue Fei as the Marshal of the Capital and Liu Qi as the Deputy Marshal. Then he asked Yue Fei and Wang De to lead an army of 100,000 from the East Road, and asked Liu Qi and Wu Lin to lead an army of 100,000 from the West Road. Li Yan and Zhang Xian personally led the remaining army behind the palace, and continued to enter Guiyuan City while responding to Yue Fei and Liu Qi.

After receiving Li Yan's order, Yue Fei immediately used Yue Yun as the vanguard to attack Talas in the west, while Liu Qi used Wu Gong and Zhe Yanwen as the vanguard to attack Shule Kingdom and Shache Kingdom, with the intention of living with them.

During this Western Expedition, all Li Yan brought out young generals.

picture:

Yue Fei, this year's 38.

Liu Qi, forty-three this year.

Wu Lin, this year's thirty-nine.

Zhang Xian, forty-one this year.

Wang De is the biggest, and he is only forty-four.

Some older generals, such as Han Shizhong, Wu Jie, and Niu Gao, were just over fifty, and Li Yan did not take him.

Moreover, Li Yan led the generals this time mainly young generals - such as Yue Yun, Wu Gong (the eldest son of Wu Jie), Han Yanzhi (the eldest son of Han Shizhong), Liu Rui (the youngest son of Liu Qi), Liu Huai (the eldest son of Liu Qi), Yang Neng (the eldest son of Yang Yi), and Zhe Yanwen (the eldest son of Zhe Ke asked for the eldest son).

In addition, Li Yan also privately told Yue Fei, Liu Qi and others that he should give young people more opportunities.

In other words, Li Yan's Western Expedition was also training young people and cultivating successors to the Greater and Chinese Empire.

By the way, many of these young generals are Li Yan's son-in-law.

Yue Yun is the first strong general among the younger generation. He is brave and resourceful. Over the years, he has followed Yue Fei to fight south and north. He has rich experience in battle formations and outstanding military achievements. In recent years, if it weren't for Yue Fei's deliberate suppression of Yue Yun, the military achievements made by Yue Yun could have been promoted to the commander-in-chief.

Last time, the Expeditionary Force attacked Talas. If the Turkic cavalry had not suddenly emerged from behind, Yue Yun, as the vanguard, would have led his men to attack Talas, but failed at the last moment.

This time, Yue Yun made a comeback and another army was overthrowing the formation. As a result, Yue Yun attacked Talas in a battle.

This is not the end. Yue Yun chased and killed more than 3,000 miles away. Finally, he caught the Khan's family of Geluo and presented it to Li Yan, who had arrived in Guiyuan City.

Soon, Yue Fei dispatched troops and completely destroyed Geluo.

Wanyan Chang was good at judging Li Yan's meaning, so he proposed to Li Yan to massacre Ge Luolu.

However, Wanyan Chang's proposal was firmly opposed by Shi Hao and Yelu Dashi.

but--

Although Shi Hao and Yelu Dashi both opposed Li Yan's massacre, their reasons for opposition were different - the former was to instill be kind in Li Yan with Confucianism and ask Li Yan to kill carefully. The latter believed that Dazhong had just arrived in Central Asia and it was not appropriate to use the massacre to stimulate the forces in Central Asia. This would definitely make the forces in Central Asia resist firmly, or resist death and not surrender. In that case, Dazhong's war cost should be increased.

After listening to the suggestions of many others, most of these people did not recommend that Li Yan slaughter the Gelulu people. Li Yan finally resisted his disgust for the Gelulu people and sent someone to send Gelulu's women and children back to Dazhong, and asked the Ministry of Revenue to resettle them - send Gelulu's children to the school to be a Han children to raise them, and reward Gelu's women to the soldiers who had made contributions to the Central Army. Gelulu's men were all escorted back to Dingyuan City to build railways and contribute to the Belt and Road Initiative. As for Gelu's daughter, she naturally entered Li Yan's harem.

At the same time, Wu Gong and Zhe Yanwen also entered the capitals of Shule and Shache Kingdom, and then Liu Qi sent Wu Lin to destroy Kangli.

In such a short time, Dazhong sent more than one million troops (that more than one million reserve civilians were also regarded as regular troops) - by the way, this is normal. Dazhong's reserves were all militias who retreated from regular troops and received formal training. The key is that just in case, Li Yan also distributed weapons to them. Not only did each reserve civilian have swords and guns, but some of them were also equipped with muskets, and even several artillery pieces of each battalion. With their combat power, they were definitely much stronger than the warriors of most forces in the Western Regions and Central Asia. Therefore, it is not a question that the people in the Western Regions and Central Asia misunderstood.

Of course, the most important thing is that the central army destroyed the very famous Geluo and Kangli in the Western Regions and Central Asia with thunder.

The strength shown by Dazhong is much stronger than the Tang Empire at its heyday.

The powerful strength of Dazhong shocked many forces in the Western Regions and Central Asia.

Slowly, some small forces, like the remnants and descendants of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, began to come to the far city to pay homage to Li Yan.

These small forces tribute to Li Yan to beauties and treasures, and expressed their surrender to Li Yan.

They wanted to call Li Yan "Ju'er Khan", which means "big sweat" or "sweat in sweat".

But when Li Yan heard this title, he tightened the chrysanthemum, and then he rejected it directly, and asked them to call themselves "Tian Khan" like Li Shimin, without having to make special decisions.

"Tian Khan" and "Ju'er Khan" are actually both Rouran, the "sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat-sweat

Therefore, since Li Yan doesn’t like “Ju’er Khan”, he should call him “Tian Khan”.

Later, everyone who came to pay homage to Li Yan called Li Yan "Tian Khan" and expressed their willingness to surrender to Dazhong and become an affiliate of Dazhong.

Li Yan accepted these voluntarily and organized them into his army, promising them that as long as they made meritorious service, they would be rewarded.

The Central Army started fighting as soon as it arrived, which shocked all forces in the Iraqi world. They quickly stopped arguing and quickly formed a coalition force, preparing to fight the Central Army to defend Muslim religion...
