At present, they are going to the border pass, in addition to assisting the prime minister to resist the Hu people, but also to help the prime minister stabilize the morale of the army, so that the people of the border pass and the soldiers of the army and the people are united, only the army and the people are one, cooperate with each other and maintain, can the guards of the border pass be truly strengthened, so that the people in the border can really be not afraid of rebellion and harassment, and at the same time will not be afraid of whether they will be harassed by local officials.

The group marched westward, and although the carriage and horses were tiring, they still rushed to the northwest border as fast as possible.

The westernmost side of the land of the Great Liang Dynasty is the border with the Hu people on the west side, which is nearly two thousand miles away from the capital, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, the climate is also completely different, the westernmost is close to the inner side, dry all year round, lack of water sources, there are no dense woods and jungles like the east, there are no rivers flowing in the green mountains, only the turbid sky filled with yellow sand and the dry peaks that rise into the clouds in the original place.

When they rode their horses to the border mountains, they passed through a Gobi desert, which was very dry, full of gravel, and at a glance, there were some yellow-green distant scenes, which were dry and water-scarce, and the vegetation coverage was low, and the most common plants were these yellow-green drought-tolerant sea buckthorn vegetation.

Fortunately, compared to the desert, the relative humidity here is still higher.

There are endless plains and valleys, as well as calm and endless lakes lying quietly among the trees, and standing on the top of the slope from a distance, looking down at a deep blue pure lake lying in the hills and ravines, it is particularly beautiful.

There is a unique topography here, and riding a horse here is like seeing the most magnificent spring and autumn seasons in the world.

The northwestern frontier is vast and sparsely populated, and they follow the established direction along the official road all the way west, but they do not see a single person.

Shangguan Yinling spread out the map to make sure that they were in the right direction, but after traveling along this road for so many days, although they had entered the northwest border, they never reached the city gate.

"My lord, we can't be on the wrong path, right?" Lu Li looked up at the end of the endless road ahead, and there was still no city gate in front of her.

They have been on the road for so many days, so they can't go in the wrong direction.

"It's not wrong, just walk forward."

Finally, they saw the villagers on the road who had moved their families.

They quickly stopped a family that was driving the donkey cart all the way east.

"Uncle, is it a new city to the west?"

The uncle who was called raised his head and looked at Lu Li with some confusion.

"Yes."

He turned his head to look at the vast group of men and horses behind them, although they were all dressed in regular clothes, they could see that the momentum was different, and they should have been sent by the imperial court.

No matter how many people are sent, they will be sent to death, and the battle between the government and the Hu people has been fierce over the years, and there is no one who leads the troops and does not let the Hu people bully the fart.

Hu was savage by nature, and his physical strength was amazing, he rode and hunted on this plain all the year round, and was more well-trained than the soldiers of their government and military camps, compared to them, the government only thought about how to embezzle and loot the people's money, and the military camps were full of people who only knew how to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, and it was no wonder that they would be harassed by a few Hu people for so many years and it was always difficult to calm down.

No matter how many people come, it's the same.

If you come, you will die in vain.

"Uncle, where are your family moving to? Is Metro bad? The scenery is beautiful, and it is a place where generations have lived. ”

"Whoever wants to leave their hometown, if it weren't for the rampant Hu people, our life and death would be a problem, and we wouldn't relocate."

The family didn't talk to them much, and Shangguan Yinling left some silver taels for them to use on the road, and the group continued westward.

In the distance, I finally saw the gate of the new city.

Soon they were in the city.

They hurried their horses and rode their horses close to the city, but they did not expect that on the city wall, the soldiers guarding the city warily tightened their bows and arrows.

Now they can be called cautious, because of carelessness before, a group of traders disguised as Hu people were put in, and the Hu people made a big fuss in the city, and injured people, and finally expelled them all.

They don't have the courage to do it again.

On the city wall, stood the commander-in-chief general of the Xincheng Guard Army, Zhao Qi.

"General Zhao, there is a team of soldiers and horses approaching, seeing that there are about 400 soldiers, they are almost at the city gate!"

"Do you need to ask? It must be the Hu people in disguise, and when they reach the range, they will immediately release the arrows. Zhao Qi said.

"Shall we report to the Prime Minister?"

"What kind of Prime Minister? You're the Commander-in-Chief, I'm the Commander-in-Chief You will do whatever I tell you to do, why is there so much nonsense? Zhao Qi gave the soldier a kick without much patience, and the soldier didn't dare to refute, so he could only do what he said.

When they were about to enter their firing range, the soldiers suddenly found that the group of people approaching outside the city gate had raised a flag, which turned out to be a black flag with the word "Liang" written on it, which was unique to the Special Crime Division.

"General, that's the soldiers and horses of the Special Cases Division!"

"Don't let the arrows go yet!" Zhao Qi stretched out his hand and waved, and the soldiers who tightened their bows and arrows above the city gate all gathered their strength.

It wasn't until Shangguan Yinling and his party arrived at the city gate that they waved their flags at the city wall.

"Who's out of the city?!" There was a roar from above the walls.

"The official of the Special Case Division, Yin Ling, brought four hundred guards from the Special Case Division to help fight against Hu!" Shangguan Yuling responded.

"General, the man said he was here to help fight against Hu." The man next to him reminded.

"Nonsense, Lao Tzu is not deaf!" Zhao Qi gave the person next to him a kick, lowered his head and shouted to the people below, "You said that you are Shangguan Yinling, do you have any evidence?" ”

"What more evidence do you need for this? Isn't this face the best evidence here? Lu Li frowned incomprehensibly, "On this city wall, it should be Zhao Qi, the commander of the New City Guards, right?" It doesn't look very smart. ”

Could it be that there are other fairy-like characters in the world who are as handsome as adults?

"How does the general want me to prove it?" Shangguan Ling asked in a raised voice.

"I also bother Lord Shangguan to wait for a while, and then make a decision after the general sends someone to invite the Prime Minister to identify him."

At the moment, Zhao Qi did not dare to take risks easily, although he heard that there would indeed be reinforcements to assist them in fighting Hu, but at the moment, anyone could learn the news, and no one could believe it.

"Why is this Zhao Qi so cautious, there are so many of us here, is it possible to lie to him?" Lu Lidao.

"I heard that Zhao Qi had let them enter the city because of the caravan disguised by the Hu people because of his gullibility, and this group of people burned and looted in the city, and it took a lot of effort to drive them out."
