People can give Yun Ye a definite answer, and the long journey creates a message. In order to find out what is going on in Suiye City, Talas City, and Almaty, Heifeng, as the leader of the caravan, took Xiaomiao with him.
Qu Zhuo and Gouzi embarked on the long journey westward.
Along the way, Qu Zhuo will teach Gou Zi and Xiao Miao how to curl their tongues and speak Western dialect, and the three people's hair will be dyed flaxen by the secret medicine in Yuan Shoucheng's hand. Yun Ye very much hopes that they can bring useful information.
Di Renjie also left, driven away by Yun Ye. Cheng Chumo got so drunk that he had to take his sergeants to escort Di Renjie and Mr. Jin Zhu back. Xu Jingzong was extremely eager to go home, but was arbitrarily appointed by Yun Ye.
The long history of the Beiting Protectorate.
Loulan couldn't stay any longer and had to leave immediately for Tingzhou to bring back the civil servants. Later, something changed and Xu Jingzong left the baggage team behind, and he personally took 20,000 cavalry to prepare for a trip to Beiting.
With great speed, Yun Ye abandoned the things that hindered his journey and began to drive towards Gaochang non-stop. The eight-niu crossbow was disassembled and mounted on the horse's back. The gunpowder was also divided into small bags and put in the horse bag. It was gone.
Due to the isolation of the waterwheel, Yun Ye had no confidence in the safety of the gunpowder he made.
The desert sun in July was so blazing that Yun Ye did not dare to march during the day. He could only walk a short distance quickly in the evening and early morning. Whenever the sun rose, the desert became a desert, and the rising water vapor would cause serious disturbance.
The sight of mirages in some low-lying places has made the sergeants numb, and they no longer have the surprise they felt when they first saw them.
After passing through the basin, the Tianshan Mountains are clearly visible. Here Yun Ye must stop and prepare to cross the Tianshan Valley. Moreover, both Jiaohe and Gaochang have the Tang Dynasty's administrative offices, which are newly assigned territories to Yun Ye, not to mention that this is
It was the seat of the Anxi Protectorate in the past, and many civil servants and their families lived here. Now Guo Xiaoke established a new government office in Qiuci and ambitiously wanted to expand the territory of the Anxi Protectorate thousands of miles away. Simply thinking
This place is already well-established and does not require much manpower. Only a thousand defenders and a large number of servants are stationed here. He does not know that the situation in the entire Western Region has become more complicated. It is like a pot of boiling water. One person can deal with it.
If it is not done properly, there will be immediate danger of overturning.
If it were Li Ji, he would definitely not care about the life and death of these people, and would only use these people to achieve his own combat goals.
Yun Ye thought for countless nights and found that he still couldn't do it. On the march, he encountered three groups of horse thieves, and they were all defeated by Yun Ye. It was almost an impossible task to encircle and annihilate the horse thieves in the vast Gobi desert.
The group of three hundred horse thieves in the Gobi was already a very large group of horse thieves. Each of the three groups of horse thieves that Yun Ye encountered exceeded 800 people. They happened to be one of Xue Yantuo's moha. Fan Hong also found out after interrogation.
He reported to Yun Ye that these people were indeed the Xueyantuo people's army, and they were looting supplies everywhere in preparation for their westward journey.
After receiving the order at Jiaohe and Gaochang, the officials arrived at the camp without saying a word but bursting into tears.
"General, I have a humble position in Gaochang. It can be said that I have three surprises in one day. Ever since Commander Su returned to the east and Commander Guo went to the west, Gaochang has become a world of horse thieves. They either roar in the wilderness or plunder the villages. This humble position has already conquered Gaochang."
The ground was dug three feet down, ready to deal with the incoming horse thieves at any time. A thousand soldiers were exhausted and lost twenty-three out of ten in the battle. The servant army was as humble and arrogant as a tiger internally, and as cowardly as a lamb externally. Having received the favor of the country, naturally
I don’t dare to run away in the face of the battle, I just hope that the commander-in-chief can take away the humble family members, even if they die in battle, there will be no regrets.”
Yun Ye knew Tian Yuanyi, who was left behind in Gaochang. He was Hou Junji's staff in his early years. After Hou Junji conquered Gaochang, he appointed Tian Yuanyi to be the guard in Gaochang. After Hou Junji rebelled, he became an embarrassing figure. Fortunately, Hou Junji was far away in Gaochang.
Junji did not notify him when he rebelled, and he did not respond, so he could continue to serve as an official here.
"The eagle flies in the sky, the pheasant flies on the pole, the cat swims in the hall, and the rat settles in its burrow. Everyone has their own place. Isn't it a good life?" This is Ju Wentai's answer to His Majesty. Since their king thinks so, the people of Gaochang
You can imagine what you are thinking. I will leave five thousand elite cavalry here to guard Jiaohe and Gaochang, and suppress the disobedient subordinates. In a short period of time, all the horse thieves in the territory must be wiped out, and the management of Gaochang and Jiaohe must be restored.
.
Since the servant army dares to violate the military order, let's deal with it harshly. The people here are afraid of power and have no morals. In troubled times, we should use heavy code. Since the servant army has violated the military order, then we should disband the servant army and all the officers above the team.
The law is being rectified on the spot, and an eleven-day killing order has been implemented among the soldiers. The top priority now is to completely calm down Gaochang. As for the people's hearts, we have never gained them, so it can't be said to have been lost. "Yun Ye said heavily.
His fist hit the table.
Tian Yuanyi was overjoyed when he heard this. He took the command arrow from Yun Ye and took five thousand cavalry to handle the government affairs in Jiaohe, Gaochang. The grievances he had suffered in the past few years disappeared the moment he got the command arrow. Yun Ye took office in Beiting.
To him, the Protectorate of the Protectorate Mansion is the nectar that can make him reborn, so he will definitely carry out his orders to Yun Ye to the end. When it comes to killing people, Hou Junji is a murderer. Today, Yun Ye is still
While following the old path of Hou Junji, Tian Yuanyi smelled the same flavor. Following the new Shangguan might be more enjoyable than following Hou Shuai.
Yun Ye stayed in Jiaohe for three days. When Tian Yuanyi came back to pay the order, Yun Ye seemed to be able to smell the blood on his body.
"Beheading geometry?"
"Level one thousand, six hundred and forty-three!" The number Tian Yuanyi reported casually made the generals in the military tent take a breath. No one expected that this seemingly gentle civil servant would be so ruthless in killing people.
.
"Is there a riot?" Yun Ye was stunned for a moment. Even if there was an eleven-day killing order, a team of five thousand people could not kill these people.
"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, the subordinate officers and government servants of Gaochang are also included in this list." Tian Yuanyi was still very calm. Killing more than a thousand people just now didn't seem to be a big deal to him.
Yun Ye nodded. It was an oversight on his part. He was used to dealing with soldiers and always subconsciously avoided local civil servants. If a fifth-grade left-behind man hadn't been so bullied by those people, he would never have shed tears in front of him.
After such a killing, maybe he had vented all the resentment he had suffered over the years, and Gaochang could settle down.
After replenishing supplies of food and grass in Gaochang, Yun Ye led his army over the mountain pass to the Tingzhou government office opposite Zheluoman Mountain (Bogda Mountain). If possible, Yun Ye planned to withdraw the Tingzhou government office.
Placed in Gaochang, Guo Xiaoke liked to explore, so he had to be on the defensive. Perhaps this was Guo Xiaoke's idea. He was dissatisfied that a young man could climb over him, a veteran, especially when Gaochang was placed under the jurisdiction of Beiting.
After protecting the mansion, his dissatisfaction may have risen to a new level. The 12,000-man army was only 30% of Yun Ye's, which made the veteran general full of fighting spirit.
Entering the Western Region from Yun Ye, there was very little contact between the two armies. Most of the messages were sent by Yun Ye first, and Guo Xiaoke would reply a few words indifferently, without even caring about the etiquette of superiority and inferiority.
The army marched in the mountains. The people in Guanzhong were very unfamiliar with the scenery in front of them. The heat was steaming at the foot of the mountain. Not far away was the famous Flame Mountain. Eggs can be fried on a shovel, but now they need to wear cotton-padded jackets. There are no
The vegetation and weathered gravel are stacked one on top of another, densely adsorbed on the steep mountain, as if they might collapse at any time, making people feel panicked.
There are towering peaks on both sides, and the peaks are covered with thick snow. The southern slope is steep, the northern slope is gentle, the terrain is steep, and the surface of the mountain is full of weathered stones. When the road passes through the mountain pass, it actually passes on a ridgeline more than ten feet wide.
Like the back of a crucian carp, there are steep cliffs on both sides. The snow-capped mountains all year round are right on the roadside, within reach. The white ice and snow are extremely cold. After standing on the edge of the snow-capped mountains for a while, you will feel a chill.
After grabbing a handful of snow for just a moment, my hands became stiff with the cold.
Maybe it's because it's far away from the world and few mortals come here. The blue sky here is particularly pure blue and the snow-capped mountains here are particularly white. Just looking at it for a while will give you a splitting headache.
This was altitude sickness, and it would only get better if we quickly passed through here and went down the mountain. Fan Hongyi tied a belt around his head and loudly urged the team to speed up the march.
"Old Fan, don't rush me. This has nothing to do with the soldiers. The mountains here are too high. The current speed is already very good. If you push me anymore, something will happen. Remember, if you go to Tubo in the future, you will also have this problem.
It’s a feeling. Even worse than this, you have to be careful. You’ll be fine after you cross the mountain pass.”
Yun Ye glanced at Wu Ji and Yuan Shoucheng who were following him, and he found that these two old people seemed to be performing much better than these young people.
"As long as the breath is long and the heartbeat slows down, there is nothing surprising." Wu Tongue was still angry with Yun Ye. Yun Ye didn't care about the things he treated like treasures, and even had a feeling of abandoning them like worn out shoes.
I mean, it hurt his self-esteem a lot.
He looked at Yuan Shoucheng next to him and dared to conclude that if this old guy knew the magic of the four-sided jade tablet in his arms, he would definitely want it crazily and would probably kill someone.
So Wu Yan subconsciously wrapped his fur tightly. Yuan Shoucheng's skills seemed to be good, especially the six middle-aged Taoist priests around him. Just looking at their riding postures, you can tell that these people are not good at it.
Yun Ye had no hope, and Wu Shi even felt that as long as Yuan Shoucheng paid a sufficient price, he would happily sell the jade token to Yuan Shoucheng without any consideration.
