Shule, a team of materials from afar slowly drove into the city gate under the tight escort of the Tang army. Nearly a thousand carriages were endless. Along with the convoy, there were 10,000 infantry and cavalry of the Tang army. This was the largest number of troops. Gao Xianzhi and Bian Lingcheng were also in the team. He formally ordered the dispatch of troops a month ago. After more than 20 days of trek, the main force of the Anxi Army finally arrived in Shule.

It is still early May, and the sun at noon begins to become vicious, evaporating all the moisture, and the trees hang down their branches weakly, struggling to withstand the scorching sun.

Gao Xianzhi's waist stopped straight. His face was grim and his eyes were sharp. He looked at everything in the city. He was very cautious in front of the city gate. Everyone entering and leaving must be subject to strict body searches and verified their identity. Residents who are not in this city must be controlled.

In the city, each stairs was held every ten steps, and a group of Tang soldiers ran past the streets, with neat footsteps and murderous aura. All empty houses were requisitioned, used as warehouses for stocking up supplies, horses and livestock were also requisitioned by the military. All men in the city were hired by the army as civilians who carried supplies.

The shops were suspended, and daily items needed were rationed. Foreign merchants were not allowed to enter the city again to prevent spies from entering; every family was closed, and all the debris at the door were cleaned up, the streets were empty, and even cats and dogs had nowhere to hide.

Everything was arranged in an orderly manner, and even the most demanding Gao Xianzhi could not find any fault. He couldn't help but secretly admire Feng Changqing's ability. Adequate preparation was crucial to winning the war. Gao Xianzhi never fought unprepared wars.

"Feng Changqing is the humble position to meet the Grand Marshal!"

At the gate, Feng Changqing had been waiting for a long time. He was lightly rushing to Shule and rushed to the front line. Gao Xianzhi nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, General Feng."

He glanced back and He Chongyi, the commander of Shule, quickly saluted, "See the Grand Marshal."

"Yeah! Has Li Qingan set out?"

Feng Changqing hurriedly reported: "Li Qing'an's scout camp set out ten days ago."

"Okay! Pass my order, rest for three days, and head to Xiao Bolu."

The sword head is as sharp as a ray of light, and always holds a licensed vision. The iron cavalry chases the vicious enemy, and the golden prisons fight against the cunning Qiang. The autumn is high in August and September, and the Hu land is windy and frost. A man will die without hesitation, and he will have a courage to give him a taste of it...

In early June, the Western Regions entered midsummer, and the scorching sun burned the earth. This was the most difficult time of the year. But to the west of the Palacio Mountains, about a thousand miles away, you can still see the world of ice and snow here. At first glance, the snow-capped Xingdu Kush Mountains are endless, and large black rocks are suddenly on both sides of the river. In the dark light, they look like hideous monsters. The land under the rocks is not covered by ice and snow, but it looks barren and desolate, without a trace of green or a little vitality.

The blood-red sun gradually sets, and the night is about to fall. The blue night shadow covers the snow valley and hillsides. However, the top of the peak that towers into the clouds turns into a magnificent rosy color under the reflection of the last ray of setting sun, like a dreamy flower flashing dazzling light in the sky.

During the flood season, the melting water of the glacier caused the water level to surge and the water flow was turbulent, as if a jade belt was wrapped around the deep valley of the snow peaks.

A group of small black dots appeared far away by the river, moving slowly. Perhaps because the reference object was too huge, we dived thousands of feet down. The group of small black dots suddenly became larger. This turned out to be an army, a Tang army of about 500 people.

Both horses and humans are as thin as they are, with unconcealed fatigue on their faces, staring at the front with dull eyes, and moving instinctively and mechanically. Although they are exhausted, the Tang army flag is still standing straight and fluttering in the night wind.

They were the Anxi Army scout camps that set out from Shule, crossing the Geluo Ridge, and then crossing the Pamir Mountains to the south. After a brief rest in the Pamir Mountains, they turned to the southwest Bomichuan marching, bypassing the Alai Mountains outside the country, and entering the Telman River valley.

They spent almost a month on the road, and for a full thirty days, he had only walked more than 500 miles, which shows the difficulty of the march.

The Telmanchuan Valley is a grand canyon about a thousand miles long, which is today the Wakhan Corridor. The Telman River passes through the canyon, which is the most convenient way for Tocharo to Anxi, and its strategic position is extremely important. However, since the entrance of the eastern section of the Telmanchuan Valley is guarded by the Tubo army, in order not to disturb the Tubo army, the Tang army detoured the country and entered the Telmanchuan Valley.

At this time, a horse rushed along the river bank, and it was immediately the scout deputy lieutenant Li Fei Shouyu. He was Li Fei Yuanli's younger brother, but he looked completely different from the rude Li Fei Yuanli. He was handsome, slender, and good at using crossbows. It was obvious that he was also very tired, but he still forced himself to shout loudly to the distance: "General Li! General Li!"

The sound was moving against the wind, and it was particularly weak in the empty canyon. Bai Yuanguang shouted three times. Li Qing'an finally heard it. He raised his hand and the team stopped. Compared with two months ago, Li Qing'an had completely changed his personality. The strong ultraviolet rays made his skin rough and dark, and he also became a bone. His eyes were covered with red lines.

Li Qing'an's mission was to investigate the distribution of the Tubo army in the Telmanchuan area and to open the way for the main force of the Tang army.

"General!" Li Fei Shouyu ran over panting and said, "Twenty miles east is Jialan City. Let's wait for news about the spies!"

Li Qing'an looked up at the surrounding environment. The river valley was wide and there were steep cliffs on both sides. Even if they rolled down from the cliff, they would not be able to hurt them. There would be no ambush.

"Everyone rest on the spot!" Li Qing'an immediately ordered, although his voice was low, he could not resist, and ordered to be conveyed one by one to the other. The soldiers were exhausted and threw down their arms,

He sat on the stone with still heat. Some soldiers untied the kettle and ate dry food with water. Some soldiers fell asleep and fell asleep.

Li Qing'an sat on a stone and used a dagger to repair the grown short beard. Men in the Tang Dynasty usually had beards after being weak, and their bare chin would make people mistakenly think that they were eunuchs.

"Qiro, drink some water."

Li Fei Shouyu handed a kettle up. The two were opponents on the polo field. Because of Li Fei Yuanli, their personal relationship was very good. Li Qing'an took the kettle and raised his neck and drank a few bites, and then ate a few bites of hard dough cakes.

When Li Qingan saw Li Fei Shouyu take out a painting from his arms and staring at him in a daze, he couldn't help but lean forward curiously. Under the faint snow light, he saw a girl in a floral dress, looking about fifteen or sixteen years old, holding a pipa, beautiful and beautiful.

"This is a pipa girl I met when I went to Chang'an to participate in a polo competition last spring. She was named Qianniang. We loved each other. She promised to wait for me for three years. I wonder if I could see her again."

Li Fei Shouyu carefully put the portrait in his arms and sighed, "It's the third year next year. She should be eighteen years old. I don't know if she's married."

"Hehe! You two brothers, Li Fei, are both 'sexuals'!"

"I'm different from that rogue."

Li Fei Shouyu hugged his knees and looked up at Xuefeng, which was shining with golden light. His face showed his yearning for a beautiful woman, "Although I am a Hu, I am extremely yearning for Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty. I swear to marry a Han woman. Qianniang is gentle and beautiful, and she is the wife I dream of."

"I want to marry her because you said." Li Qingan couldn't help but yearn for what Changan's woman looks like, he has never seen it before!

"We are going to Chang'an again at the end of the year. Starting from the beginning of next year, the annual polo competition of the Tang Dynasty will start again. Our Anxi Army is the third place last time."

Speaking of this, Li Fei Shouyu smiled slightly and said, "Qilang, you are a polo master who rose last year, and you also want to go to Chang'an to compete."

Li Qingan touched his hard beard and smiled and said, "To be honest, I have been waiting for this day for a long time."

At this moment, a sudden sound of horse hooves came from afar. A cavalry rushed over and all the soldiers stood up. They knew that there was something wrong with the enemy in front.

"General!"

The cavalry turned over and dismounted, knelt down on one knee and bowed, and raised a love report: "There is news about Jialan City in the He team."

Li Qing'an opened the information and looked carefully. His eyes gradually narrowed into a line. There were actually 800 Tubo troops in Jialan City.

Time cannot be delayed, he immediately stood up and shouted: "All up and march into Jialan City!"

Jialan City is the royal city of King Jialan, the younger brother of King Humi. It is also called Chifo Tang City. It is the most dangerous place in the Telman River Valley. It is less than two miles wide and extends for more than ten miles. It is also a transportation hub in the Telman River Valley. It is divided into three roads, North Valley, Humi Road and Chifo Tang Road. These three roads can all reach Lianyun Castle, among which Chifo Tang Road can also directly reach Nieduo City, the Xiaobolu Capital City.

There are thousands of residents in Jialan City, most of whom live along the river. The whole city is centered on the palace, which is built on a high cliff. The entire palace building is made of huge stones, and there is only a narrow road up the mountain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

At night, the shrill night wind whistled past the long canyon, and the canyon was very quiet, terrifyingly quiet.

At this moment, several black shadows ran towards a corner of the canyon, and bypassed a hill-like huge rock. There were hundreds of black people hidden behind the huge rock.

"General, the map is drawn."

"Play a account!"

A small tent immediately appeared under the boulder, a little light shone out and disappeared in an instant.

The lights in the tent were dim, and Li Qing'an stared at a hand-drawn map in front of him. He Yanming stood aside, looking nervous.

The map was drawn in detail, and even marked the number of troops. He bought it from a merchant with an ingot of silver, and he was afraid of buying fakes.

Li Qing'an was concerned about the path through the palace. The map was marked, and there was only a narrow path, located on the cliff, and it was difficult to walk, and a large group of people could not pass through.

He Yanming hesitated for a moment and whispered to him: "General, the Tubo army's garrison is more than twenty miles away from Jialan City, next to Chifo Temple."

Li Qing'an pondered for a moment and asked again: "Is there such a dangerous terrain in the Tubo Army's garrison?"

"No, they are very wide, and the canyon is about ten miles wide."

“This is easy to deal with.”

He blew the fire-extinguishing note on the ground and smiled at He Yanming: "You lead twenty people to head towards the palace at dawn. Don't attack. Just bluff and just treat yourself as a wedding."
