Chen Leng asked Han Huanzhi: "Are they not afraid of making this Daning full of troubles?"

Han Huanzhi replied: "A few years ago, Your Majesty once asked me if the world is big, and I replied that it is big, but Your Majesty said... There are only so many places in the world that can be expanded, and the inside and outside are barely enough for me to do it alone, and there is no place for others to do it."

After saying that, Han Huanzhi looked at Chen Leng with a deep meaning: "Do you think they are trying to do something about Daning?"

Chen Leng frowned.

Han Huanzhi smiled: "It's Your Majesty who is treating Daning."

After changing to a carriage, Han Huanzhi was in a bad mood. He missed his carriage very much. Although he did not mention the word "carriage" to Shen Leng again, Chen Leng could see that Han Huanzhi was just waiting for that time.

After the team left the Qinling Mountains, they entered the Keqin Grassland. This was a narrow grassland from east to west, and the grassland stretched northward and connected to the grassland in the north where cattle and sheep were everywhere. The vast land was Han Huanzhi's woman's home. Now the woman who has firmly sat in the position of Da Aijin may also be missing him.

The grass on the Keqin Grassland is not suitable for grazing. Two-thirds of this grassland is planted by manpower. The desert outside of Western Xinjiang is like an omnipotent demon. The wind is the vanguard of the demons. When the wind arrives, the desert arrives. Hundreds of years ago, the desert turned the fertile field into a barren field at a speed of more than ten miles a year. After the founding of the country of Daning, the founding emperor announced that he would do two major things in Western Xinjiang... First, open up half of the road that had not been repaired by Chu, and second, control the deserted sand.

The people of the three counties and twelve counties in the western border were mobilized to start a war to control the desert. The enemy of this battle was nature. However, regardless of who the enemy was, whether it was strong or not, the one who won in the end was of course Daning, but only Daning could only be Daning.

It took about twenty years for the people of these three counties and twelve counties to turn the desert into a pasture. Although it is not suitable for grazing, it successfully prevented the desert from invading the Central Plains.

You can see small herds of cattle and sheep on the grassland in a scattered manner, and you can enjoy the leisurely life.

Even so, Li Faner was extremely excited. After walking through the continuous mountains for many days, she suddenly became wide open and could see cows and sheep. She seemed to have immediately forgotten the unhappiness she had before and rushed into the grassland to see cows and sheep eating grass. She thought cows and sheep were so novel, and cows and sheep thought she was so idiotic.

Local county officials welcomed him and held a grand welcoming ceremony.

The girls on the grassland were wearing ethnic costumes and danced gracefully without losing their heroic spirit. Only the children of the grassland could dance like this, including milk wine, milk tea, and pots of stewed beef and mutton.

Local county officials had to deal with it carefully. After all, there was a prince, a prince, a county lord, a minister of the Tingwei Mansion, a minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and several generals of the fourth and fifth rank. Not to mention the prince's family, even the ranks of Chen Leng and their military ranks were much higher than those of these local officials.

Chen Ran stood behind Shen Leng and looked at the singing and dancing grassland girl and sighed: "In Daning, ninety-six tribes and ninety-five ethnic groups can sing and dance well."

Chen Leng: "You can also go in and dance, but you are not allowed to harass other girls."

Chen Ran thought for a while: "Farewell, I'm afraid the girls will snatch me back."

Deputy General Wang Gendong is an honest man. Thinking of the rumors I heard before, I couldn't help asking: "I heard that the grassland is hot during the day and cold at night. Now the season is right, and it will be so cold that it will be so cold that it won't be able to take it out in a while. When farting, you can see a stream of white smoke spraying out from your pants."

Chen Ran thought about the picture, it was so beautiful.

Meng Changan, who was sitting next to Shen Leng, couldn't help but curl his lips, would he be on the grassland?

He didn't know if he could fart even though he was cold. Anyway, the northern Xinjiang is... I haven't returned to the northern Xinjiang for half a year, so I really miss it.

After eating and drinking, the team rested on the grassland for a day and continued to rush. It took almost a month to arrive at the location of the Xijiang Chongjia.

Phoenix Platform.

People say that the general of the Western Frontier, Tan Jiuzhou is the most stable among the generals from all directions. He is serious, reads poetry and has a straightforward style. Some people say that Tan Jiuzhou is the worst martial arts among the four generals, and he may even know how to do martial arts. This statement is not groundless. It is rumored that Tan Jiuzhou has led troops for 25 years and no one has seen him take action.

But no matter what, the heavy armor he trained could make the Western Regions surrender.

While King Lu and the others were talking to the general about greetings in Jiuzhou, Chen Ran asked Shen Leng in a low voice: "Brother Yang hasn't seen you for a long time. I've asked you before, but you refused to say that, I'm a little worried."

Few people noticed that there was one Yang Qibao missing next to Shen Leng.

"He's fine."

Shen Leng just refused to say: "It won't take long to see him."

The next arrangement was very programmatic and a sumptuous welcome to the lunch. Then the general took Lu Wang and others to visit the Chongjia Camp in Xijiang. The next day's arrangement was to visit the recruit training at the Xifu Armory. Han Huanzhi, Shen Leng Meng Chang'an and the others naturally had to accompany him.

Outside the gates of Western Xinjiang.

The leader of a caravan team counted the number of people and found that there were six or seven people missing, so he became angry: "I said, although I took your money to protect your safety, if you don't obey my arrangements, you will die if you die. The many bandits in the Western Regions are far less peaceful than in Daning, and the wind and sand are coming, so I will definitely not wait for those who are separated."

The remaining merchants checked and found that there were many of their subordinates, and a caravan team that joined in halfway was gone. The six or seven people didn't look like they were doing business. In this vast land, they lost people and couldn't find them.

About seven or eight miles away from the caravan, Yang Qibao pulled down the scarf that covered his mouth and nose, and lay on the sand dune and looked at the vast team coming from afar.

"It's true that it's not as expected by the general."

He brought all the scouts under Shen Leng, the elite among the elite.

"Tubo is just a gift to send off a marriage, so why do you have to mobilize the troops so hard?"

A personal soldier put his eyes down: "It seems that the team is endless, no less than 100,000."

"What if it's more than this way?"

Yang Qibao snorted coldly: "Does it take hundreds of thousands of troops to send a daughter to marry? There was information before that the three small Western countries close to Daning were bullied by Tubo, and the three countries and Tubo were tense in tat. Look, the Tubo army blatantly passed through this small country so blatantly, where was hostile."

"We can go back."

Yang Qibao slid down from the sand dunes: "Transfer the news back to Daning as soon as possible."

In the distance, a man who looked as strong as Wang Kuohai sat on his hunchback, as lazy as if he was about to fall asleep. He was not wearing armor and his clothes were also sloppy, with a scimitar hanging behind him.

“Tamut.”

Another Tubo general who looked in his thirties smiled and said, "Come on, you will arrive in Ningguo soon."

"What do you need to cheer me up?"

Tamutuo squinted his eyes and snorted: "I really want to see how great the so-called heavy armor in the Western Xinjiang is. Ning people are arrogant and always say that the land war is invincible, that is, they have not encountered my Tubo army.

Pass."

"Don't be reckless."

The general of the Tubo Kingdom named Kuoshan said, "Your Majesty and the national teacher have ordered more than once, we are not here to go to war with Daning."

“It depends on your mood.”

Tamutu stretched: "If you are in a good mood, you will beat Daning down and present it to Your Majesty. Can Your Majesty still scold me?"

Kuoshan laughed: "At that time, you can choose a few princesses from Ningguo to be your little wife, and you can play whatever you want."

Tamutu's eyes lit up: "I heard that Ningren women are all gentle, with white skin like cream. They also said that they spoke softly, and they were very happy to conquer. Think about it, if they were so thin, they should be quite interesting to play, and they were afraid that they would be killed by accident."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Kuoshan laughed.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a horn sound, which was the warning from the scout.

"What's up?"

Kuoshan raised his eyes and looked into the distance. There were a few black shadows riding a horse between the sand dunes.

"No need to pay attention, just a few little thieves."

Kuoshan put down his eyes: "Get out a hundred-man team and cut back the heads of those little thieves."

With a roar, a team of cavalry 100 people chased Yang Qibao and the others in the direction of retreating.

Daning Western Xinjiang.

The place where the Xijiang Jinjiang is located is called Fenghuangtai, but it is about 400 miles away from the western border. The wedding team must stay at Fenghuangtai until the marriage sending team on the Tubo country is close to the national gate and then pass by. According to the agreement with the Tubo country, the wedding sending team must go to the Shizihai, the Daning border city.

The location of Shizihai City is very special. Outside the border city is the border between Huotuo and Chechi. Among the three countries, Huotuo is the largest and Chechi is the smallest. However, there is also a guardian country behind Chechi. Originally, the three countries restrain each other, but recently, because of Tubo's aggressiveness, the attitude of the Three Kingdoms has changed, and on the surface it seems that they have become a rope.

These three small countries jointly sent envoys to Daning, trying to persuade His Majesty the Emperor not to agree to the request of the Tubo country. They were worried that once Tubo and Daning would marry each other, Daning would stand by and watch when Tubo obliterated the Three Kingdoms in the future.

Anyway, it looks like this on the surface.

The Sea of ​​Shizi is a stone city, with 1,200 troops stationed in it and the person who led the troops was named Bai Xiaoge.

Bai Xiaoge stood on the city wall and looked at the distance. A team of scouts returned from outside the city. The city gate opened and the scouts rode their horses into the city. After a while, the scouts were rushing up to the city wall, ran to Bai Xiaoge and leaned over and bowed: "General, the army of Tubo is almost here, coming through Huotuo. It seems that the three countries' joint request for help from Daning is fake, and should be reported immediately."

Bai Xiaoge said oh, and waved his hand lazily: "You go down, I will report it to the general."

"By the way, General."

The scout team said correctly: "When we disguised ourselves and went deep into Huotuo's country. When we found the traces of the Tubo army, we also found another scout team nearby. Although we were dressed in a businessman, we can see that the style was completely the scout of our Daning."

"And others?"

Bai Xiaoge's eyes stern: "Where is the location?"

The team was reaching out to point southwest: "Then, it's a little slower than the subordinates. They should come back in half an hour. If nothing unexpected happens, they should also go back to Daning from our sea of ​​stones. But they don't know which brother they are."

Bai Xiaoge nodded: "You go down."

When the scout team was leaving, Bai Xiaoge waved: "Call the personal soldiers and follow me out of the city."

The corners of his mouth curled, and the chill was revealed. (https:)
