Kangya Manhatto and the upper nobles of the Sogdians ran away, as long as these people lived, they would always be a scourge, so Li Lu let Su Lie, Li Datong, He Jin and their troops divide into three routes, directly to the Dynasty Shiva who was on the fire, and He Jin on the road ran rampant for thousands of miles, even down several cities, and the cities that the Sogdians had worked hard to build were all rubble, and the upper echelons of the Sogdians surrendered and surrendered, and those who did not surrender were either killed or captured, and the ordinary Sogdians were also moved away by the Jiankun people, leaving only abandoned deserted cities.Li Datong, who went down the road, was also similar, basically did not encounter any difficulties, and his advance speed was also very fast.And Su Lie in the middle is the most risky, he commanded 10,000 cavalry to attack the middle, and fought hard battles, he first attacked the city of Caddy in Zhongcao, and two days later the city fell, Su Lie opened the way with a pawn, and then went straight to the city of West Cao Se.In this city, they encountered Kang Moke, the third prince of Kangguo!
After first leading his army to fight to the death in the city, he led a thousand Sogdian elites to retreat to an island in the Zeravshan River.The island is not far from the shore, just outside the distance.Su Lie and they couldn't find a ship in a hurry, and there was no large poplar forest nearby for Su Lie and them to use for shipbuilding, so Lao Su cured and chose to besiege, so that after a long time, the supplies on the isolated island were exhausted, and Kang Moke had only one way to go, and that was to escape!
So they boarded the seventy boats that had been prepared long ago, loaded with the wounded and loaded, and went down the river to the west...
The Jiankun army pursued from the shore and soon overtook the fleet and set up a barrage in the upper reaches of the river to control and choke the river.But that doesn't stop Commoco!
He cut the ropes and continued to flee west!
Until the river becomes shallow.Had to land in the city of Bayer, in the upper reaches of the Zeravshan River.As soon as they landed, Kangmoko found that the situation was not right, and great trouble had been, and wherever they could ride horses on land was the home of the Jiankun army!
Su Leen Nayan, the commander of the Jiankun Army, finally got a chance, he led the army to catch up with Kang Moke and his party, and spared no effort in the pursuit, but he still failed to achieve his wish!
The Sogdian soldiers who accompanied Kangmoko were killed in the pursuit, and Su Lie only captured Kangmoko's fifth brother and Kangmoko's wife and children, while Kangmoko rode alone, broke out of the siege, and fled into the depths of the Turan Plain...
This person is destined to make a comeback, and after Su Lie learned that he had escaped from Kangmoke, he could only sigh, "This guy is too capable of running!"
”The most interesting scene happened in the city of Khiva, when Li Datong and He Jin led the army to the city, but found that the city of Khiva was a little guarded, both of them were bold people, they together, set up a ladder, Jiankun soldiers climbed from all directions, and they rushed into the city without encountering any resistance!
Later sources record that the inhabitants of Khiva were "amazed at the way the Gyungkun people climbed the walls" and lost their city in amazement!
The Jiankun people kept their promises, as long as they didn't resist, it was easy to say.Li Datong and He Jin took down the city of Shiva, but found that there was no trace of Kangya Manhatto and his Sogdian elite at all, just when they were puzzled, the soldiers came to report, Kangya Manhatto They fled to the oldest city in Central Asia, the city of Saka, the city of King Saka under the rule of his son-in-law, Su Lie had already taken the city of Sedichen, and went straight to the city, Li Datong and He Jin took a look, it turned out that the information was wrong, the two of them pounced, yes, turned around!
As for the city of Khiva, I'm sorry, our horseshoe is here, then this is our territory.....
In order to completely erase the thoughts of the Sogdians, he destroyed the Sogdian palace, stripped off the city wall built by Samat, and directly bulldozed the tombs of the successive Kangguo kings that had existed since the Kangju era.There is also the most unacceptable thing for Li Lu is the blood marriage custom of "only wives and sisters, and mothers and sons are beasts", so he banned it by the name of "Son of God.......
So the question is, why didn't the Sogdians rebel?
This changed the Chinese people, and it had already been revealed, but the Sogdians not only did not rebel, but also happily dug up the tombs of these Sogdian kings, what is going on?
To explain this phenomenon, it is necessary to explain it from the point of view of nationality, the Sogdians, like other Western barbarian peoples, are a theocratic people, and in the memory of their people, the gods are much more important than their ancestors, and most of these mausoleums are the tombs of the slave owners who were high in the past, and they have nothing to do with their ordinary Sogdians.What's more, many Sogdians knew that their new king was a "son of God" sent by a great oriental god to rule over them, and that it was right to listen to the "son of God."
As for the orders issued by their new king, such as learning the Chinese language, not believing in Mani anymore, and most importantly, not to have a blood marriage that is more excessive than the marriage of close relatives......
Anyway, as long as it was the edict of the "son of God", they, the Sogdians, obeyed it......
If you don't believe in Manichaeism, then what do you believe?
This still needs to be asked, naturally it is the Taoist gate where the "Son of God" is located, what, you say that Chinese is difficult to learn?
It's hard to learn, so just keep talking nonsense!
Anyway, as long as we convert to the grassland road, learn Chinese, and then change our ancestors, then we will be the Han masters, we pay taxes for one silver coin, but you have to pay ten silver coins!
What, there is also this saying, learn and learn, no matter how difficult it is, you have to gnaw it down, as for the "son of God" said that blood marriage is not allowed, uh, since this is a deep will, then we obey it......
It didn't take long for the city of Kangzhou (the original Samad Jian) to be full of stiff Chinese, and even the Sogdian merchants learned to tie their hair and wear Han clothes.The original god Ahura was also abandoned by them to the outside of the sky, a majestic Taoist temple began to be built on the basis of the original Great Light Temple, many Sogdians who had converted to the grassland road were rich in money, and those who had no money in the effort, which made Li Lu come to Connecticut to be very surprised, "Why are these naturalized Hu people so obsessed with the sect?"
”Li Lu said funny, "Du Xiang, this is the difference between real Han people and fake Han people!"
You've been here in the Western Regions for so long, and you've heard a lot of myths and legends about the Hu people, right?
They also have the myth of the great flood in ancient times, we are the female snail to make up the sky, Dayu to control the water, but you listen to the ancient flood myth of those Hu people, except for escaping, there will be no other, their gods are powerful, hum, you said that in such an environment from generation to generation, can you not be superstitious about God?
”Just when Li Lu was about to discuss the secret behind the myth of the Great Flood with Lao Du, his personal guards came to report, "Ah Re, the front line is coming, Kangya Manhatto and his party are trapped in Saka City, the king of An, and the only one who escapes is Kang Moke, the third prince of Kang Guo........
After learning that Kangya Manhatto was trapped in the capital of Anguo, Li Lu immediately returned to his residence and began to study the relevant information about Saka City, "Zhiyuan, this old man of Anguo also knows a little bit about it, when Emperor Yang of the former Sui Dynasty, Si Li was engaged in Du Xingman's birth in the Western Regions, I have been to this Anguo, and I got the five-color salt ....... from there" Du Ruhui reminded that Li Lu remembered the record about Anguo that he had seen in the "Book of Sui" in his previous life: "The king's surname is Zhaowu, and he is of the same clan as King Kang, and the word is Lideng."
Wife, the daughter of King Kang.All in the south of the dense water, the city has five folds, and is surrounded by flowing water.The palaces are all flat-headed.The king sat on a golden camel seat, seven or eight feet high.Every time he listens to the government, he is opposite his wife, and the three ministers comment on state affairs.The customs are the same as those of Kangguo.Only the wife and her sister, and the mother and son are handed over to each other, this is different.More than 100 miles west of the country, there are more than 1,000 countries.There is no monarch in his country, and the country is unified.After five years of great cause, he sent envoys to contribute, and then he was rejected. ”Damn, no wonder the old guy will run to Anguo, the king of Anguo is not only his close cousin, but also his son-in-law.After hearing that the city of Saka was a holy city of Manichaeism, Li Lu decided to visit Saka himself, and he wanted to destroy the last foundation of the Sogdians.By the time Li Lu arrived in Saka, Su Lie and his men had already launched an attack on Saka, and the Jiankun army showed the Sogdians in the last Sogdian stronghold their newly created siege weapons, three-bow bed crossbows and stone throwers, which were used as weapons to throw not only stones and flames, but also burning liquids, explosive devices, and incendiary substances.The fierce Kinkun men brought in three-bowed bed crossbows mounted on wheels, while large groups of men and horses carried retractable ladders up to the tower, from which they were able to hit the defenders in the inner city.While attacking from above the city of Saka, the tunnel sappers began to dig tunnels under the walls.While demonstrating the formidable technical might of the air, on the ground, and underground, the Jiankun in some cases forced their comrades from the captured Inner Fort defenders to siege the city, charging forward, piling up the moats, and others pushing their weapons alive, thereby exacerbating the psychological tension of the Sogdian defenders."
Your Majesty, let's surrender, we really can't resist!
You see, the hellfire of the Yaks is poured into it like a blazing furnace absorbing hard wood, and the fire is so big that it shoots sparks into the air from the side of the hearth......."
Kampami, who had fled with Kangyahamanto, said to Kangyahamanto and his son-in-law Anspuri, who were sitting on the throne, in horror."
Surrender?
Hahaha....."
Kangya Hamanto looked up and laughed, "Old Prime Minister, don't you see that the Quegasians are planning to completely destroy our Sogdians?"
Even if you surrender, you will inevitably die, all of them will die, why die in humiliation?
”At this moment, an oversized gunpowder bag was thrown by the stone thrower not far from the palace where they were, and the violent explosion directly shocked many people, "Pass the order, regardless of men, women, old and young, to pick up the scimitar and fight the evil Quegasians to the end!"
”After the Sogdian co-master, Konya Hamanto, gave his last will, took his golden scimitar and went up to the city wall himself.....
Kangya Hamantto planned to carry it to the end, but some people were unwilling to carry it, Kang Peimi lived a handful of years, he didn't live enough, he was ruthless in order to live for himself, he gritted his teeth and simply betrayed his king, and became a second or five boys, under his response, the Jiankun army slaughtered into Saka City......
Although the Jiankun nobles such as Kangya Manhatto and Anserihu led the stubborn resistance, they were no match for the Jiankun after all, and in the end, Li Lu completely took possession of the holy city of the Sogdians, and in the midst of their weeping, the city of Saka was burned down, and the last self-esteem of the Sogdians was burned.
