Chapter 29 Chapter Twenty Nine
Zhao Guangyi was overjoyed when he received the memorial from Zhejia sent by Wang Jien by express horse.Previously, he had ordered Pan Mei, who had returned from suppressing bandits and rebellions in the south of the Yangtze River, to dispatch 50,000 troops, declaring to the outside world that he would strengthen the encirclement and suppression of the rebellion in Shu, but he had been waiting for this opportunity. The memorial, as if it were a treasure, immediately activated all the propaganda machines to publicize Yang Hao's treachery, disregarding the laws of the country, and blatantly using troops against the prefecture.At the same time, Wang Jien was ordered to transfer Anli Army and Longde Army to attack Cheng Shixiong's troops in Guangyuan, and to transfer Ninghua Army, Jinning Army, Pingding Army and Weisheng Army to attack Fuzhou.He also ordered Pan Mei to lead 50,000 forbidden troops, and went straight to Linfu without stopping.
When the news spread to Khitan, Empress Xiao was very surprised. It would be nothing if Yang Hao really plotted against Fuzhou. In her opinion, those who want to achieve great things can't be fettered by friendship. If Yang Hao is really so ruthless, he can be regarded as a hero A character, but according to her understanding, Yang Hao is not such a person, and... Even if the times change and Yang Hao has transformed, he will never be fooled by his power. The war on the Eastern Front suddenly started again. Isn't it enough for Li Guangrui to use his troops on both sides, which dragged him to the end of his life?When Da Song responded quickly to this, and the Song army invaded Fuzhou as quickly as possible, Xiao Chuo finally understood: Da Song had attacked the northwest.
At this time, the Great Khitan Kingdom had just changed its name from the Great Khitan Kingdom to the Daliao Kingdom.The Great Khitan Kingdom was originally named after the ethnic group, but the ethnic composition of the Khitan is very complex, with a large number of ethnic groups, especially the Han people from the Sixteen Youyun Prefectures, who account for a considerable part.In addition, the new establishment of the young master and the change of the name of the country are also a new atmosphere.
The new king ascended the throne at a young age, and Xiao Chuo was in charge of the government as the queen mother. Liaoyuan, but at this time the civil strife has just subsided, and the vitality has not yet recovered, so it should be more low-key, so it is claimed to take "Liao" in the Khitan language to free translate iron.
Since the major political policy is to rest the army and support the people, it is absolutely impossible to start a war with the Song State at this time. However, if Zhao Guangyi takes the Northwest and brings the entire Western Region under his rule, not only will the territory of the Song State be expanded, but also the Song State will be defeated. Once people have a place to raise horses, the great advantage of the Liao people will disappear.This is a very tricky thing.
Xiao Chuo was wearing a soft and comfortable casual palace gown, leaning on the couch, gently shaking the round fan with one hand, and patting Zhengxiang's son who was sleeping in her arms with the other, thinking about the situation in the Northwest. There is no direct relationship between Song and Liao, but it has a great influence on the future situation of Song and Liao. How can she not pay attention to it.
The little emperor has already given a name, the big name is Yelu Longxu, and the small character is Lao'er. "Shun lived in Taoyan, and his weapons were imprisoned for a long time." This is the same as ordinary people naming their children "Shuan Zhuer" and "Iron Lock". They all mean to hope that the children will be safe and the adults will live forever. As for what Empress Xiao said to her natal family, as for whether this "prisoner" has some other meaning, only she knows.
A young woman in her twenties and ten years, she is well-maintained, her figure is round and plump, her skin is white and tender, very alluring, her two slender and beautiful legs are half bent and half stretched on the couch, and her skirt can be seen faintly. The inner powder is smooth and smooth, with a spring glow.
At this moment, just as the sun was setting, the golden sunlight shone on her pretty face with clear water, giving it a lazy look.Her black eyebrows were slightly frowned, nervously thinking about countermeasures.
Now, Daliao must not easily use troops against the behemoth Song, otherwise, if he is not careful, the situation he has painstakingly managed for two years will be destroyed in one fell swoop.The Daliao Empire is really too huge. Yang Hao can integrate all the ministries and revitalize Xiazhou in two years. For a country as large as Khitan, two years is just a period of economic recovery. Military and political , has just adjusted all the officials in important positions, and the reconciliation of internal conflicts and the elimination of external disputes are still very fragile.However, even if the Northwest is not the enemy's territory now, they must not sit back and watch Song Guo take Hexi, and Daliao must express it.
Xiao Chuo pondered hard. It seems that the only way Liao can take is to contain the Song State as much as possible so that they cannot invest too much troops in the northwest and reduce the pressure on the Xiazhou Army. As for how to resolve this crisis, in the end, I still have to rely on the enemy himself, but that enemy is now on the Guasha Ancient Road, will he have time to go back?
Thinking of this, Xiao Chuo sighed softly, the baby in her arms seemed to be too hot in her arms, he closed his eyes and fell asleep, his two little hands impatiently pushed away his mother's hand, and his two chubby feet Ya kicked on Niangqin's body, and her whole body lay horizontally on the couch.
Xiao Chuo stared at his sleeping son, and there was resentment in his eyes: "This little enemy, if he is full of food and drink, he is no longer him, but he is determined to follow his heartless father..."
With the banners flying, Yang Hao's army finally marched towards Dunhuang. Dunhuang is adjacent to the majestic Qilian Mountains in the south, the vast Lop Nur in the west, the jagged Beisai Mountains in the north, and the Sanwei Mountains in the east with abrupt peaks and rocks.It is the only way for Hu merchants from the Western Regions to cross the Yumen Pass and enter the Central Plains eastward. This oasis is not very large, but the land is fertile. In this small natural basin near the desert Gobi, the snow water of the Dang River nourishes the fertile fields and fertile soil. The shade of the green trees blocks the black wind and yellow sand, the grain and rice are guaranteed to be harvested in drought and flood, and the melons and fruits are fragrant all the year round... Dun, big also; Huang, Sheng also.Dunhuang is truly a miraculous city in the desert ancient road. In order to completely cut off the access and connection between the Xiongnu and the Western Qiang, and to safeguard the security of the border and the Silk Road, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set up Jiuquan County and Wuwei County in Hexi.And adopt fortification, reclamation, resettlement and other measures to constantly enrich and strengthen the construction of Hexi.Later, the two counties of Jiuquan and Wuwei were demolished to Dunhuang and Zhangye counties respectively.From Lingju via Dunhuang to Yanze (today's Lop Nur), the Great Wall and Beacon Towers were built, and Yangguan and Yumenguan were set up to form four prefectures. According to the two passes, the smooth flow of the Silk Road was guaranteed. Since then, Chinese silk and advanced technology have continuously spread to Central Asia, West Asia and Europe.Jade, agate, exotic animals, and crops from Europe, the Mediterranean coast, and the Western Regions were transported to the Central Plains over long distances.Envoys, soldiers, merchants, and monks from all over the world came and went continuously, and they all passed through Dunhuang, the main route of the Silk Road.Dunhuang has become the "throat key" for the communication between China and the West.Li Guangli, the general of the Second Division, conquered the Dawan Kingdom and won bloody horses; Zhao Puonu defeated the Gushi Kingdom and captured the King of Loulan. They all won in one fell swoop by using Dunhuang as the supply base for food, grass, soldiers and horses. Therefore, there are the most Han people here, accounting for more than 80% of the local residents, so there is such a strange scene here. After the Western Regions and the Central Plains were cut off, there were a large number of Han people in the two prefectures of Guasha. The area close to the Central Plains was occupied by Tubo, Huihe, and Dangxiang people.But it is also because of this that the Han people in the Western Regions have cut off contact with the Central Plains for hundreds of years. These Han people, who were isolated outside, joined the rebel army and established themselves as the Jinshan Kingdom, still inheriting the culture and blood of the Han people. However, the wrong policy of the rulers of the Jinshan Kingdom to blindly suppress the local ethnic minorities made them make enemies everywhere. Gradually, the glory of the ancestors was no longer, and the Jinshan Kingdom gradually declined. Instead, they wanted to respect Ganzhou Huihe as their father Khan. Now, with his army, he always wants to re-open the ancient roads of the Western Regions and revive the oriental civilization here. For the Cao family who are in charge of the Guasha regime, this is their end, but for the Guiyi army, it is mixed. When Xiao Chuo was feeling dejected when he saw his children missing others, Yang Hao had already led the army to the Hulu River, and from then on it was Guazhou. It was dusk and the sun was setting. Yang Hao's army was stationed by the Hulu River.The yurts are like mushrooms that suddenly grow by the river, stretching out endlessly.Although the possibility of a surprise attack by the Guazhou Guiyi Army is unlikely, the troops deployed on the outside line still follow the rules, meticulously dig trenches, set up refusal horses, and prepare for defense. Along the way, they have seen Buddha statues carved on the cliffs of ravines, camel bells in the desert, mirages in the vast sea, autumn colors of Populus euphratica, clear spring oasis... The exotic scenery is beautiful, but it will be boring if you see too much. What feels the deepest is the scorching sun during the day, the biting autumn wind at night, and the yellow sand in the sky when the wind blows. The soldiers from the Long Family of Suzhou were stationed at the southernmost part of the barracks. When Yang Hao captured Liangzhou, he brought out 20,000 troops from Lurong Dengba, the city lord of Liangzhou. When he was in Suzhou, he drew gourds in the same way and brought out all the soldiers and horses from Suzhou.The soldiers of the Long family lived in the Western Regions for a long time, and they were familiar with the customs of the Western Regions, and there was nothing new about them. They finally crossed the desert and came to the oasis. In the uppermost river stood two burly men wearing only loincloths, like two sumo wrestlers, with bodies like black iron towers. The two big men were fishing in the river.The fish here are extremely fat, because there is no hunting by fishermen, the ecological environment is excellent, and big fish one or two feet long can be seen everywhere.However, for the Suzhou Army who didn't know much about water, it was not easy to catch a big fish with bare hands. After much difficulty, one of the dark-faced men grabbed a big fish with splashes all over his face, and laughed loudly: "Old Zhi, old Zhi, come and see, brother, I caught a really big fish." The other black man was overjoyed when he saw it, and rushed over, shouting: "Miaoji, I'm really tired of eating that hard and dry jerky, hahaha, old card, you hold on to it, hurry up and go ashore, Let's bake it and eat it." When Lao Ka heard it, he stared and said: "Why do you want to eat it grilled? Such a delicious river fish should be roasted in the water until the meat is rotten and the bones are crispy. After eating the meat and gnawing the bones, drink a bowl of thick Fish soup, that's delicious." Old Zhi shook his head and said: "You know what, the fish doesn't need to be scaled, and don't remove the internal organs, just bake it on the fire, so that the fish's delicious taste won't dissipate. I saw merchants from the Western Regions like this Have eaten fish." "Stew it and eat it. There is meat and soup. The soup is delicious." "Baked and eaten, it is delicious and fragrant, with endless aftertaste." The two stood in the waist-deep river and quarreled loudly. Old Ka was furious, and threw the frisky fish in his hand hard. The fish fell into the water with a bang, and he was a little dizzy and sober. After a while, he swam away shaking his head and tail. Old Zhi was dumbfounded and said, "Why did you throw the fish away?" Old Ka said angrily: "If you want to stew it, you have to stew it, but you want to roast it, so let's go, just don't eat it, I'm too lazy to mess with you!" Old Zhi was also furious when he heard this, and shouted: "If you don't eat it, you don't eat it. It's so rare. Could it be that you can catch it? I can't put my hands on display. I will catch it myself!" When he came alive, he stirred up the river and splashed the old Ka on purpose. The guard standing on the shore saw the two quarreling and couldn't help laughing.These two people, one is Kaboka, a descendant of Yanqi people, and a bit of Turkic blood. He is the captain of Zuoguoyi of the Dragon King Army in Suzhou. My ancestor joined the army and became a soldier in the Anxi Protectorate. Later, when the roads were blocked, he stayed away from his hometown and settled down in the Western Regions.These two were friends who grew up together since they were young, and they became soldiers and officials together. They could wear a pair of trousers if they were good, but they liked to bicker and vomit the most. Their subordinates have long been used to it. Because the Suzhou Army has largely accepted the mantle of the Anxi Dufu Army in the Tang Dynasty, the official system is just like the Tang Dynasty, and because they have learned four different things from the Tang Dynasty official system, the supreme leader is called the prince, and the state is just like the Tang Dynasty. According to the official system of a country, officials are set up according to the official system of a country, so the official system is very chaotic. According to the official system of the Tang Dynasty army, there is a captain for every tenth, a group leader for every fifty, and a captain for every three groups. The size of this army is the size of a team. It is enough to have one captain and one deputy. Appointed the left and right Lieutenant Guoyi, two school officials of the sixth grade. Because Yang Hao was in wartime, he couldn't completely reorganize and reorganize their army. In order to let the soldiers get used to it, he only had time to restructure the senior officials in charge according to the establishment of the Jiefu. The principal, still in accordance with the old system, has not been touched for the time being. Zhi Fubao messed around for a while, but didn't catch a single fish. He felt very humiliated, and said angrily, "Grandma, I'm going to eat my own jerky." He straightened up and was about to go ashore when he suddenly found a shadow floating downstream in front of him. He couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise, "Wow! What a big fish, come here, come here, throw a spear down." The soldiers on the shore threw a spear in a hurry, Zhi Fubao took the spear in his hand, and hurried towards a black shadow floating in the river, Kaboka turned his head to look, and hurriedly followed. Zhi Fubao said triumphantly: "Hey, this fish is big enough, half of it is used for frying, and the other half is used for roasting. How about it, brother, I am more generous than you?" Kaboca snorted: "Wait until you really catch it before you act generously, you're just so clumsy." Zhi Fubao was furious: "Why are you always against me? Well, well, well, let me show you the methods of a certain family!" He pulled him back, and said solemnly: "Wait a minute, it seems that it is not a fish, but a person." Kabo Kachi said: "How is it possible? Where do people come from this kind of place?" The two held their breaths intently, looked at Dingqing, and saw the floating or sinking black shadow gradually approaching, it was indeed a drowning person, Kaboka said in shock: "It's really a person!" After saying that, he stretched out his spear and The man called over, and saw that the man's long hair was scattered in the water, his face was pale and beautiful, like a water demon, and he shouted again: "And it's a woman!" Zhi Fubao poked his ears and said, "How could a woman fall into the water and die in this place? Could it be that a Hu merchant who was passing through the border was met by a horse bandit?" Kaboca said: "How do you know she must be dead?" Zhi Fubao said, "It's not dead, is it still alive?" The two people raised the bar again, and while arguing, they each held a hand and dragged the woman ashore. Kaboka chattered and said: "If it is alive, we will eat all the fish we catch in the future." Zhi Fubo said: "If it's dead, we'll catch fish later, and roast them all." Although the sun was slanting towards the west like blood, the sand was still extremely hot. The woman was dragged ashore and placed on the sand, the heat rising upwards. Before she could be rescued, the wings of her nose fluttered. Overjoyed, she shouted: "She's alive, she's alive, she's alive." Zhi Fubao said disdainfully: "Didn't you see that she is covered with injuries? Being alive now doesn't mean she will be alive soon." Kaboka jumped angrily: "Are you going to be reckless again? According to you, even if she is alive, she will still die in a few decades. Wouldn't you never lose this bet?" Zhi Fubao said: "Hey, did I say decades? I just said that she might die in a while. If that's the case, I won't lose." The soldiers under him couldn't stand it anymore, they served in the army for three years, and the old sow was Diao Chan, not to mention that although this woman was haggard, she was extremely beautiful, and she gave birth to two goddam generals who had no sympathy for each other, and were still bickering over there , a soldier couldn't help but interjected: "You two captains, shall we save people first?" At this time, the woman seemed to be more conscious, she opened her eyes dimly, and said weakly: "This... what is this place?" Kaboka and Zhi Fubao looked at each other, squatted down and said, "This is the Hulu River, why did you fall into the water, do you have any family?" The woman's eyes flickered, and she asked weakly, "Hulu River? Guazhou...the Hulu River in the east?" After getting an affirmative answer, the woman said: "I...I know people from the Cao family in Shazhou, you...you save me..." Kaboca laughed loudly and said: "I'm sorry, although we are in the Hulu River, we are from the Long family in Suzhou." The woman was a little dazed, and after a while she whispered: "The Long family in Suzhou? Has... war started again? The Long family... Master Long Hanjiang, and... and my father are old friends, please... Please give me a helping hand." Zhi Fubao abducted Kaboca, and said: "Old Ka, don't say that you are from the Long family anymore, the Taiwei will definitely be unhappy to hear that, cough! Girl, we are really Xiazhou Taiwei Yang now. People, ordered to go west and attack Guasha." The woman was dumbfounded: "Taiwei Yang?" Kaboca said: "That's right, Taiwei Yang of Xiazhou marched westward, and the whole way was like a broken bamboo. He has already occupied Liang and Su, and now the army is entering Guazhou. Our Long family army is now attached to the Taiwei." Surprise was in the woman's eyes, her body moved suddenly, as if she wanted to sit up, but she was really weak, panting, she grabbed Kaboka's hand, and said hurriedly: "Quick! Take me to see Mrs. Yang...Wei, I ...I belong to Taiwei Yang..." The woman finally exhausted her strength when she said this, she rolled her eyes and passed out. Kaboka scratched his scalp and asked in confusion, "Why does everyone know her? What did she say she belonged to Taiwei Yang?" Zhi Fubao squatted down, took a closer look at the woman's haggard yet pretty face, rubbed her chin and muttered, "Could it be that she is Yang Taiwei's best friend?" Kaboka suddenly realized: "Old Zhi, you are finally smart for a while, I think it is almost inseparable, and the eight dragon girls have all become the servants of the Taiwei. The Taiwei is a man, so he is very romantic. Look at her pretty appearance, even if she's not the Taiwei's lover now, after meeting the Taiwei, she can't be sure and become his lover." The guards on the side couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted: "You two captains, when you figure it out, this woman will die!" Kaboka was shocked and said: "Since you are the Taiwei's best friend, you can't die in my army." Zhi Fubao jumped up and said: "That's right, that's right, we have to get rid of ourselves, hurry up, get a felt blanket, and send it to the Taiwei before she dies." The two treasures got a blanket, wrapped the woman in the blanket, and tried her breath again, and sure enough, she was still breathing weakly. The two big men hurriedly lifted her up, spread their legs and greeted Yang Hao's. The Chinese army ran. Outside the tent of the Chinese army, Yang Hao was worried, pacing up and down, not knowing whether the bamboo rhyme in the tent was alive or dead. He never expected that he would see Zhu Yun here. Seeing that she was covered in injuries, and he didn't know how many tragic fights he had experienced, he quickly fed some hot soup to see that her breathing was a little calmer, but after all Life and death is still unknown. Yang Hao was thinking about it, and he heard a scolding from the tent: "Go away, if you dare to touch me again... I will kill you!" Then there was the sound of a cup falling to the ground, Yang Hao was startled, and rushed in, and saw the gray-haired old military man fall on his back, and a young apprentice holding a medicine box stood there in panic, Yang Hao hurriedly helped the doctor up, swept to the side of the couch, and saw Zhu Yun lying on the side of the couch, supporting the bed with one hand, and holding Yang Hao's saber with the other, clenching his teeth, glaring at the doctor. Yang Hao said: "Zhu Yun, how are you? This is... what's going on?" The doctor was almost cut open by a sword, and his face was pale with fright. When he saw Yang Hao, he vomited bitterly: "Master Taiwei, this old man was ordered to treat this girl's injuries. It was too fierce, before the old man unbuttoned her clothes, he was almost killed by her sword. As the saying goes, if you are sick, you will never hide from the doctor, and the old man is so old..." The doctor was still chattering, and when Zhu Yun saw Yang Hao, she slumped on the couch: "Taiwei, Zhu Yun...Zhu Yun is going to Longxi..." Yang Hao cut off and said, "If you have anything to say, let's wait until the wound is covered." "No, it's a big deal..." "No matter how important it is, we have to save our lives." An incision muscle on Zhu Yun's arm turned outwards, and because it was soaked in water, it no longer oozes blood, and it was even more shocking to see. Yang Hao hurriedly called the doctor, and ordered: "Quickly apply medicine and bandage her." Zhu Yun's movement touched the wound, and she was already covered in cold sweat from the pain, with fine beads of sweat on her forehead, she forced a smile and said, "My lord, I... am fine..." The doctor immediately interrupted and said: "You still say it's okay? My God, I don't know how many places have been injured all over my body, the arrow wound under the ribs has melted, and the knife on the thigh..." Zhu Yun suddenly sat up with force, her face flushed with anger: "You bastard? Did you look at my body? I... I'll kill you! I'll kill you!" Zhu Yun struggled and was about to get off the ground, the doctor was so frightened that he fled to the tent, poked his head out and said, "Girl, this old man never looked at your body, the pus and blood leaked out of his robe, the old man's eyes are blind." Blind, and I am used to treating sword sores, so I still use undressing to diagnose and treat..." Yang Hao pressed Zhu Yun's shoulder, and reprimanded: "It's already like this, don't you want to live?" "I……" "Okay, okay, don't say anything now, heal the wound first, if you have anything to say, wait until the medicine is applied and the wound is bandaged before talking, doctor..." Yang Hao turned his head to call for people, the doctor stood at the door and saw Zhu Yun's murderous eyes, how dare he come in, Yang Hao was so angry that he walked over and grabbed his collar, and dragged the doctor in forcibly .The doctor tremblingly picked up the medicine box and put it on the side of the couch. He first looked up at Zhu Yun's face, then turned his head to look at Yang Hao. Yang Hao nodded encouragingly. He closed his eyes tightly, but there were two strange blushes on his pale cheeks. The coat was unbuttoned, and there was a strip of cloth tied around his waist that had changed color. The strip was torn from the hem of the robe, wrapped several times, and tied a knot in front of the lower abdomen. The doctor untied it tremblingly. After a few strokes, the bandage was not removed, and her fingers occasionally touched her lower abdomen, which made Zhu Yun's body tense up and down. Lang Zhong untied it a few times but didn't untie it, he was sweating profusely, panting heavily, braved up the courage to pull up the dead knot, bent over to get a closer look, Zhu Yun suddenly screamed, and slapped it away He held his hand, panting: "Don't touch me! If you dare to touch me again, I will kill you!" Yang Hao couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Zhu Yun..." Zhu Yun begged: "Taiwei, I... I will apply the medicine myself, will it work..." The doctor had already dodged away like a frightened rabbit, and said with a bitter face: "This old man has never met such a difficult patient. Mr. Taiwei, anyway... Anyway, it's just applying golden sore medicine, and the medicine is in the box. Why don't you let people search around and find a woman to apply medicine for her, old man... I really can't wait for you." Yang Hao said angrily: "At this time, where can I find someone? Can such a serious injury be delayed?" "But, old man..." "Quick diagnosis and treatment!" Yang Hao yelled, the old Langzhong braced himself, and leaned forward tremblingly, Zhu Yun held the shining Zidian sword tightly, and said stubbornly: "Don't...don't allow him to look at my body, otherwise...or I will have to Kill him." The Langzhong flinched immediately when he heard this, and Yang Hao couldn't help feeling a headache, but unfortunately there was no woman with him in the army, and the eight dragon girls were all sent to Ganzhou by Mu Yu, and he was counting on Yanyan to send them home. Knowing today, I brought them here. Seeing that Zhu Yun looked like a wounded tigress, and the doctor trembled like a sick cat, Yang Hao bit his eyes and shouted: "Leave the medicine box, you guys go out." If the old Langzhong was released, he quickly agreed, told the apprentice to put down the medicine box, and fled away with him. Yang Hao said in a deep voice: "I really can't find a woman in the army, so I have to deal with the matter urgently. Now... Taiwei Ben personally applies the medicine for you. If you feel that your reputation is damaged and you can't accept it, then you can give me a sword." Stab me to death!" After saying that, he walked up to Zhu Yun's side, and stretched out his hand to untie her belt. "you you……" Zhu Yun's delicate body wobbled, and the sword in her hand was trembling. As soon as Yang Hao untied the wet knot of her clothes, Zhu Yun suddenly let out a coquettish cry, and when the long sword fell to the ground with a clatter, her hands quickly covered her face, The skin exposed between the fingers was as red as blood.
With the banners flying, Yang Hao's army finally marched towards Dunhuang. Dunhuang is adjacent to the majestic Qilian Mountains in the south, the vast Lop Nur in the west, the jagged Beisai Mountains in the north, and the Sanwei Mountains in the east with abrupt peaks and rocks.It is the only way for Hu merchants from the Western Regions to cross the Yumen Pass and enter the Central Plains eastward. This oasis is not very large, but the land is fertile. In this small natural basin near the desert Gobi, the snow water of the Dang River nourishes the fertile fields and fertile soil. The shade of the green trees blocks the black wind and yellow sand, the grain and rice are guaranteed to be harvested in drought and flood, and the melons and fruits are fragrant all the year round... Dun, big also; Huang, Sheng also.Dunhuang is truly a miraculous city in the desert ancient road. In order to completely cut off the access and connection between the Xiongnu and the Western Qiang, and to safeguard the security of the border and the Silk Road, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set up Jiuquan County and Wuwei County in Hexi.And adopt fortification, reclamation, resettlement and other measures to constantly enrich and strengthen the construction of Hexi.Later, the two counties of Jiuquan and Wuwei were demolished to Dunhuang and Zhangye counties respectively.From Lingju via Dunhuang to Yanze (today's Lop Nur), the Great Wall and Beacon Towers were built, and Yangguan and Yumenguan were set up to form four prefectures. According to the two passes, the smooth flow of the Silk Road was guaranteed. Since then, Chinese silk and advanced technology have continuously spread to Central Asia, West Asia and Europe.Jade, agate, exotic animals, and crops from Europe, the Mediterranean coast, and the Western Regions were transported to the Central Plains over long distances.Envoys, soldiers, merchants, and monks from all over the world came and went continuously, and they all passed through Dunhuang, the main route of the Silk Road.Dunhuang has become the "throat key" for the communication between China and the West.Li Guangli, the general of the Second Division, conquered the Dawan Kingdom and won bloody horses; Zhao Puonu defeated the Gushi Kingdom and captured the King of Loulan. They all won in one fell swoop by using Dunhuang as the supply base for food, grass, soldiers and horses. Therefore, there are the most Han people here, accounting for more than 80% of the local residents, so there is such a strange scene here. After the Western Regions and the Central Plains were cut off, there were a large number of Han people in the two prefectures of Guasha. The area close to the Central Plains was occupied by Tubo, Huihe, and Dangxiang people.But it is also because of this that the Han people in the Western Regions have cut off contact with the Central Plains for hundreds of years. These Han people, who were isolated outside, joined the rebel army and established themselves as the Jinshan Kingdom, still inheriting the culture and blood of the Han people. However, the wrong policy of the rulers of the Jinshan Kingdom to blindly suppress the local ethnic minorities made them make enemies everywhere. Gradually, the glory of the ancestors was no longer, and the Jinshan Kingdom gradually declined. Instead, they wanted to respect Ganzhou Huihe as their father Khan. Now, with his army, he always wants to re-open the ancient roads of the Western Regions and revive the oriental civilization here. For the Cao family who are in charge of the Guasha regime, this is their end, but for the Guiyi army, it is mixed. When Xiao Chuo was feeling dejected when he saw his children missing others, Yang Hao had already led the army to the Hulu River, and from then on it was Guazhou. It was dusk and the sun was setting. Yang Hao's army was stationed by the Hulu River.The yurts are like mushrooms that suddenly grow by the river, stretching out endlessly.Although the possibility of a surprise attack by the Guazhou Guiyi Army is unlikely, the troops deployed on the outside line still follow the rules, meticulously dig trenches, set up refusal horses, and prepare for defense. Along the way, they have seen Buddha statues carved on the cliffs of ravines, camel bells in the desert, mirages in the vast sea, autumn colors of Populus euphratica, clear spring oasis... The exotic scenery is beautiful, but it will be boring if you see too much. What feels the deepest is the scorching sun during the day, the biting autumn wind at night, and the yellow sand in the sky when the wind blows. The soldiers from the Long Family of Suzhou were stationed at the southernmost part of the barracks.

After much difficulty, one of the dark-faced men grabbed a big fish with splashes all over his face, and laughed loudly: "Old Zhi, old Zhi, come and see, brother, I caught a really big fish." The other black man was overjoyed when he saw it, and rushed over, shouting: "Miaoji, I'm really tired of eating that hard and dry jerky, hahaha, old card, you hold on to it, hurry up and go ashore, Let's bake it and eat it." When Lao Ka heard it, he stared and said: "Why do you want to eat it grilled? Such a delicious river fish should be roasted in the water until the meat is rotten and the bones are crispy. After eating the meat and gnawing the bones, drink a bowl of thick Fish soup, that's delicious." Old Zhi shook his head and said: "You know what, the fish doesn't need to be scaled, and don't remove the internal organs, just bake it on the fire, so that the fish's delicious taste won't dissipate. I saw merchants from the Western Regions like this Have eaten fish." "Stew it and eat it. There is meat and soup. The soup is delicious." "Baked and eaten, it is delicious and fragrant, with endless aftertaste." The two stood in the waist-deep river and quarreled loudly. Old Ka was furious, and threw the frisky fish in his hand hard. The fish fell into the water with a bang, and he was a little dizzy and sober. After a while, he swam away shaking his head and tail. Old Zhi was dumbfounded and said, "Why did you throw the fish away?" Old Ka said angrily: "If you want to stew it, you have to stew it, but you want to roast it, so let's go, just don't eat it, I'm too lazy to mess with you!" Old Zhi was also furious when he heard this, and shouted: "If you don't eat it, you don't eat it. It's so rare. Could it be that you can catch it? I can't put my hands on display. I will catch it myself!" When he came alive, he stirred up the river and splashed the old Ka on purpose. The guard standing on the shore saw the two quarreling and couldn't help laughing.These two people, one is Kaboka, a descendant of Yanqi people, and a bit of Turkic blood. He is the captain of Zuoguoyi of the Dragon King Army in Suzhou. My ancestor joined the army and became a soldier in the Anxi Protectorate. Later, when the roads were blocked, he stayed away from his hometown and settled down in the Western Regions.These two were friends who grew up together since they were young, and they became soldiers and officials together. They could wear a pair of trousers if they were good, but they liked to bicker and vomit the most. Their subordinates have long been used to it. Because the Suzhou Army has largely accepted the mantle of the Anxi Dufu Army in the Tang Dynasty, the official system is just like the Tang Dynasty, and because they have learned four different things from the Tang Dynasty official system, the supreme leader is called the prince, and the state is just like the Tang Dynasty. According to the official system of a country, officials are set up according to the official system of a country, so the official system is very chaotic. According to the official system of the Tang Dynasty army, there is a captain for every tenth, a group leader for every fifty, and a captain for every three groups. The size of this army is the size of a team. It is enough to have one captain and one deputy. Appointed the left and right Lieutenant Guoyi, two school officials of the sixth grade. Because Yang Hao was in wartime, he couldn't completely reorganize and reorganize their army. In order to let the soldiers get used to it, he only had time to restructure the senior officials in charge according to the establishment of the Jiefu. The principal, still in accordance with the old system, has not been touched for the time being. Zhi Fubao messed around for a while, but didn't catch a single fish. He felt very humiliated, and said angrily, "Grandma, I'm going to eat my own jerky." He straightened up and was about to go ashore when he suddenly found a shadow floating downstream in front of him. He couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise, "Wow! What a big fish, come here, come here, throw a spear down." The soldiers on the shore threw a spear in a hurry, Zhi Fubao took the spear in his hand, and hurried towards a black shadow floating in the river, Kaboka turned his head to look, and hurriedly followed. Zhi Fubao said triumphantly: "Hey, this fish is big enough, half of it is used for frying, and the other half is used for roasting. How about it, brother, I am more generous than you?" Kaboca snorted: "Wait until you really catch it before you act generously, you're just so clumsy." Zhi Fubao was furious: "Why are you always against me? Well, well, well, let me show you the methods of a certain family!" He pulled him back, and said solemnly: "Wait a minute, it seems that it is not a fish, but a person." Kabo Kachi said: "How is it possible? Where do people come from this kind of place?" The two held their breaths intently, looked at Dingqing, and saw the floating or sinking black shadow gradually approaching, it was indeed a drowning person, Kaboka said in shock: "It's really a person!" After saying that, he stretched out his spear and The man called over, and saw that the man's long hair was scattered in the water, his face was pale and beautiful, like a water demon, and he shouted again: "And it's a woman!" Zhi Fubao poked his ears and said, "How could a woman fall into the water and die in this place? Could it be that a Hu merchant who was passing through the border was met by a horse bandit?" Kaboca said: "How do you know she must be dead?" Zhi Fubao said, "It's not dead, is it still alive?" The two people raised the bar again, and while arguing, they each held a hand and dragged the woman ashore. Kaboka chattered and said: "If it is alive, we will eat all the fish we catch in the future." Zhi Fubo said: "If it's dead, we'll catch fish later, and roast them all." Although the sun was slanting towards the west like blood, the sand was still extremely hot. The woman was dragged ashore and placed on the sand, the heat rising upwards. Before she could be rescued, the wings of her nose fluttered. Overjoyed, she shouted: "She's alive, she's alive, she's alive." Zhi Fubao said disdainfully: "Didn't you see that she is covered with injuries? Being alive now doesn't mean she will be alive soon." Kaboka jumped angrily: "Are you going to be reckless again? According to you, even if she is alive, she will still die in a few decades. Wouldn't you never lose this bet?" Zhi Fubao said: "Hey, did I say decades? I just said that she might die in a while. If that's the case, I won't lose." The soldiers under him couldn't stand it anymore, they served in the army for three years, and the old sow was Diao Chan, not to mention that although this woman was haggard, she was extremely beautiful, and she gave birth to two goddam generals who had no sympathy for each other, and were still bickering over there , a soldier couldn't help but interjected: "You two captains, shall we save people first?" At this time, the woman seemed to be more conscious, she opened her eyes dimly, and said weakly: "This... what is this place?" Kaboka and Zhi Fubao looked at each other, squatted down and said, "This is the Hulu River, why did you fall into the water, do you have any family?" The woman's eyes flickered, and she asked weakly, "Hulu River? Guazhou...the Hulu River in the east?" After getting an affirmative answer, the woman said: "I...I know people from the Cao family in Shazhou, you...you save me..." Kaboca laughed loudly and said: "I'm sorry, although we are in the Hulu River, we are from the Long family in Suzhou." The woman was a little dazed, and after a while she whispered: "The Long family in Suzhou? Has... war started again? The Long family... Master Long Hanjiang, and... and my father are old friends, please... Please give me a helping hand." Zhi Fubao abducted Kaboca, and said: "Old Ka, don't say that you are from the Long family anymore, the Taiwei will definitely be unhappy to hear that, cough! Girl, we are really Xiazhou Taiwei Yang now. People, ordered to go west and attack Guasha." The woman was dumbfounded: "Taiwei Yang?" Kaboca said: "That's right, Taiwei Yang of Xiazhou marched westward, and the whole way was like a broken bamboo. He has already occupied Liang and Su, and now the army is entering Guazhou. Our Long family army is now attached to the Taiwei." Surprise was in the woman's eyes, her body moved suddenly, as if she wanted to sit up, but she was really weak, panting, she grabbed Kaboka's hand, and said hurriedly: "Quick! Take me to see Mrs. Yang...Wei, I ...I belong to Taiwei Yang..." The woman finally exhausted her strength when she said this, she rolled her eyes and passed out. Kaboka scratched his scalp and asked in confusion, "Why does everyone know her? What did she say she belonged to Taiwei Yang?" Zhi Fubao squatted down, took a closer look at the woman's haggard yet pretty face, rubbed her chin and muttered, "Could it be that she is Yang Taiwei's best friend?" Kaboka suddenly realized: "Old Zhi, you are finally smart for a while, I think it is almost inseparable, and the eight dragon girls have all become the servants of the Taiwei. The Taiwei is a man, so he is very romantic. Look at her pretty appearance, even if she's not the Taiwei's lover now, after meeting the Taiwei, she can't be sure and become his lover." The guards on the side couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted: "You two captains, when you figure it out, this woman will die!" Kaboka was shocked and said: "Since you are the Taiwei's best friend, you can't die in my army." Zhi Fubao jumped up and said: "That's right, that's right, we have to get rid of ourselves, hurry up, get a felt blanket, and send it to the Taiwei before she dies." The two treasures got a blanket, wrapped the woman in the blanket, and tried her breath again, and sure enough, she was still breathing weakly. The two big men hurriedly lifted her up, spread their legs and greeted Yang Hao's. The Chinese army ran. Outside the tent of the Chinese army, Yang Hao was worried, pacing up and down, not knowing whether the bamboo rhyme in the tent was alive or dead. He never expected that he would see Zhu Yun here. Seeing that she was covered in injuries, and he didn't know how many tragic fights he had experienced, he quickly fed some hot soup to see that her breathing was a little calmer, but after all Life and death is still unknown. Yang Hao was thinking about it, and he heard a scolding from the tent: "Go away, if you dare to touch me again... I will kill you!" Then there was the sound of a cup falling to the ground, Yang Hao was startled, and rushed in, and saw the gray-haired old military man fall on his back, and a young apprentice holding a medicine box stood there in panic, Yang Hao hurriedly helped the doctor up, swept to the side of the couch, and saw Zhu Yun lying on the side of the couch, supporting the bed with one hand, and holding Yang Hao's saber with the other, clenching his teeth, glaring at the doctor. Yang Hao said: "Zhu Yun, how are you? This is... what's going on?" The doctor was almost cut open by a sword, and his face was pale with fright. When he saw Yang Hao, he vomited bitterly: "Master Taiwei, this old man was ordered to treat this girl's injuries. It was too fierce, before the old man unbuttoned her clothes, he was almost killed by her sword. As the saying goes, if you are sick, you will never hide from the doctor, and the old man is so old..." The doctor was still chattering, and when Zhu Yun saw Yang Hao, she slumped on the couch: "Taiwei, Zhu Yun...Zhu Yun is going to Longxi..." Yang Hao cut off and said, "If you have anything to say, let's wait until the wound is covered." "No, it's a big deal..." "No matter how important it is, we have to save our lives." An incision muscle on Zhu Yun's arm turned outwards, and because it was soaked in water, it no longer oozes blood, and it was even more shocking to see. Yang Hao hurriedly called the doctor, and ordered: "Quickly apply medicine and bandage her." Zhu Yun's movement touched the wound, and she was already covered in cold sweat from the pain, with fine beads of sweat on her forehead, she forced a smile and said, "My lord, I... am fine..." The doctor immediately interrupted and said: "You still say it's okay? My God, I don't know how many places have been injured all over my body, the arrow wound under the ribs has melted, and the knife on the thigh..." Zhu Yun suddenly sat up with force, her face flushed with anger: "You bastard? Did you look at my body? I... I'll kill you! I'll kill you!" Zhu Yun struggled and was about to get off the ground, the doctor was so frightened that he fled to the tent, poked his head out and said, "Girl, this old man never looked at your body, the pus and blood leaked out of his robe, the old man's eyes are blind." Blind, and I am used to treating sword sores, so I still use undressing to diagnose and treat..." Yang Hao pressed Zhu Yun's shoulder, and reprimanded: "It's already like this, don't you want to live?" "I……" "Okay, okay, don't say anything now, heal the wound first, if you have anything to say, wait until the medicine is applied and the wound is bandaged before talking, doctor..." Yang Hao turned his head to call for people, the doctor stood at the door and saw Zhu Yun's murderous eyes, how dare he come in, Yang Hao was so angry that he walked over and grabbed his collar, and dragged the doctor in forcibly .The doctor tremblingly picked up the medicine box and put it on the side of the couch. He first looked up at Zhu Yun's face, then turned his head to look at Yang Hao. Yang Hao nodded encouragingly. He closed his eyes tightly, but there were two strange blushes on his pale cheeks. The coat was unbuttoned, and there was a strip of cloth tied around his waist that had changed color. The strip was torn from the hem of the robe, wrapped several times, and tied a knot in front of the lower abdomen. The doctor untied it tremblingly. After a few strokes, the bandage was not removed, and her fingers occasionally touched her lower abdomen, which made Zhu Yun's body tense up and down. Lang Zhong untied it a few times but didn't untie it, he was sweating profusely, panting heavily, braved up the courage to pull up the dead knot, bent over to get a closer look, Zhu Yun suddenly screamed, and slapped it away He held his hand, panting: "Don't touch me! If you dare to touch me again, I will kill you!" Yang Hao couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Zhu Yun..." Zhu Yun begged: "Taiwei, I... I will apply the medicine myself, will it work..." The doctor had already dodged away like a frightened rabbit, and said with a bitter face: "This old man has never met such a difficult patient. Mr. Taiwei, anyway... Anyway, it's just applying golden sore medicine, and the medicine is in the box. Why don't you let people search around and find a woman to apply medicine for her, old man... I really can't wait for you." Yang Hao said angrily: "At this time, where can I find someone? Can such a serious injury be delayed?" "But, old man..." "Quick diagnosis and treatment!" Yang Hao yelled, the old Langzhong braced himself, and leaned forward tremblingly, Zhu Yun held the shining Zidian sword tightly, and said stubbornly: "Don't...don't allow him to look at my body, otherwise...or I will have to Kill him." The Langzhong flinched immediately when he heard this, and Yang Hao couldn't help feeling a headache, but unfortunately there was no woman with him in the army, and the eight dragon girls were all sent to Ganzhou by Mu Yu, and he was counting on Yanyan to send them home. Knowing today, I brought them here. Seeing that Zhu Yun looked like a wounded tigress, and the doctor trembled like a sick cat, Yang Hao bit his eyes and shouted: "Leave the medicine box, you guys go out." If the old Langzhong was released, he quickly agreed, told the apprentice to put down the medicine box, and fled away with him. Yang Hao said in a deep voice: "I really can't find a woman in the army, so I have to deal with the matter urgently. Now... Taiwei Ben personally applies the medicine for you. If you feel that your reputation is damaged and you can't accept it, then you can give me a sword." Stab me to death!" After saying that, he walked up to Zhu Yun's side, and stretched out his hand to untie her belt. "you you……" Zhu Yun's delicate body wobbled, and the sword in her hand was trembling. As soon as Yang Hao untied the wet knot of her clothes, Zhu Yun suddenly let out a coquettish cry, and when the long sword fell to the ground with a clatter, her hands quickly covered her face, The skin exposed between the fingers was as red as blood.
