Chapter 192: The journey is long

"The young woman in the boudoir has never been worried, and she condenses her makeup on the green building in spring. Suddenly, I saw a strange willow color, and the penitent husband was looking for a marquis."

Chang'an, Daningfang, Yangfu.

Although he was not in Cuilou, and he had never gone to Baqiao to admire the green willows, Wang Changling's "Resentment" still described Qin Juan's mood very appropriately.

If he insisted on Yang Qing resigning from Jian Yuwei's military position after marriage, the saint might not agree. In that case, I don't have to write these things down here.

But will the husband be happy? He almost never talks to himself about his ambitions, but I know he has something big to do! If you don't tell me, you're afraid I'll be worried.

Qin Juan smiled self-deprecatingly, since her husband has already chosen this path, what's the use of me complaining here, it's better to help her husband in earnest!

After bowing her head and pondering for a while, when Qin Juan raised her head again, her eyes were already a little more resolute and a little wiser.

Walking through the round arch in the backyard, Qin Juan stood quietly in front of Gao Pu's room. She had never been in it before, but that was before.

Gao Pu opened the door and looked at the young lady in surprise, he really couldn't think of what the young housewife was looking for him.

"Mr. Shi'an, Qin Juan has something to discuss."

"Yes! Young lady, please come in. ”

Qin Juan bowed her head and walked into the cabin.

Gao Pu stood in the middle of the hut at a loss, looking at Qin Juan, who showed everyone's beauty, sitting on the guest seat, not knowing what to say or do. It took a long time to remember whether the young lady should be served tea, so he hurriedly looked around for the tea set.

Qin Juan smiled slightly, stopping Gao Pu's blind busyness: "Sir, don't bother, please take a seat." ”

Gaopu's mood slowly calmed down and sat down as he said.

"My husband is out, I am a woman, and I shouldn't have asked about these things." Qin Juan carefully pondered the wording, "But...... Presumably, Mr. is also very clear that Ziyin will not come back in the short term, and I still want to discuss this matter with Mr. ”

"Young lady, please speak."

"Yiqing's side, Ziyin has already entrusted it to Mr., right?"

In front of Qin Juan, there is nothing to hide. Gao Pu replied honestly: "Yes." ”

Although Qin Juan didn't know what Yang Qing's purpose was for Sima Chuan to go to Fanyang, she still knew what to do, and she had accepted and understood the concept of the intelligence network from Yang Qing.

"I think if Mr. agrees, please ask Yiqing to go to Qiuzi as soon as possible!"

Gao Puhuo Ran raised his head and met Qin Juan's unwavering eyes.

Cross the Yellow River in the north, continue to the north along Lishui through Guangwu, cross the Herong Pass of Pipa Mountain, and go northwest along the south and northwest of the Great Wall of Qin, which is the Hexi Jiedu Envoy Station, the fortress of Northern Xinjiang - Liangzhou.

In 121 BC, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty opened up four counties in Hexi, namely Wuwei, Jiuquan, Zhangye, and Dunhuang. Wuwei, that is, the meaning of martial arts and military might, hence the name. At that time, Wuwei County was subordinate to Guzang, Zhangye, Wuwei, Xiutu, Ci, Luanniao, Pu, Yuanwei, Cangsong, Xuanwei 10 counties, and the seat of governance was in the hometown. In the fifth year of Yuan Feng (106 B.C.), the world was divided into 13 states, each of which placed a history of thorns, which was called "Thirteen Thorn History". Wuwei County belongs to the Liangzhou Thorn History Department, and the name of Liangzhou has been since then. It means "located in the west, often cold".

The Hexi Corridor is the throat of the Central Plains to the Western Regions, while Liangzhou is the throat of the Hexi Corridor. It is bordered by the desert in the north, the snow-capped mountains in the south, the vast and rich Central Plains in the east, and the traditional homeland of the nomads in the west.

In the city of Liangzhou, An Sishun paced back and forth, puzzled by Jian Yuwei's sudden northward departure.

If he said that he had come to fight, he had not received any news; If it is said that it is for his own deployment, Kejian Yuwei is a pro-army of the Praetorian Guard, and at the beginning of the year, didn't Gao Xianzhi spy on the position of his Hexi Jiedu envoy? I'm just a little tricky, isn't the Holy One just going to do this? There's no reason for that.

Vice Admiral Gao walked lightly to the door: "My lord, the food and grass supplies required by the military department have been prepared, should you send them to the south of the city or ...... immediately?" ”

An Sishun frowned: "Guo Xi still has no intention of entering the city?" ”

"It should be, they haven't even set up a tent, and they haven't untied their baggage, so it doesn't look like they're going into the city."

"Then it's really just passing by...... The 5,000-strong Son of Heaven pro-army, where are you going......" An Sishun's steps are getting more and more urgent, if something really happens, he must prepare as soon as possible no matter what.

"Send the grain and grass immediately, don't leave anything behind. In addition, I found Han Cheng, last year's Donggong, there is still a batch that was not sent to Beijing, let him run! ”

Vice Admiral Gao's expression was stunned: "Donggong? Didn't you take it to Chang'an in person a few years ago......"

An Sishun stopped suddenly, his tall body facing away from the door, as if he was intently looking at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall. Vice Admiral Gao's heart shook wildly, and he secretly scolded himself for talking too much, and turned his mouth in a trembling voice: "Yes!" This is what I will do! ”

The southern suburbs of Liangzhou, the temporary station of Jian Yuwei.

Almost everyone smoked around, and Guo Xi and Yang Qing's personal guards looked at their generals from a distance, and they were just there, not moving.

"Xilie, why are you rushing to leave today? Now that it's almost smoke, do you really have to go any further? ”

"Ziyin doesn't know, camping in Liangzhou, we want to be more stable, but the Hexi Festival here makes it difficult for adults to feel at ease. If he comes to visit you at night and asks you and me about what we do, do you say yes? ”

Speaking of this, Yang Qing was also thorough, nodded slowly, and Yang Qing stopped asking.

"This place is very cold at night, and it takes less than two hours to walk. Calculate the distance, you may not be able to reach Jialin, then you can only camp in the desert...... It's okay to say, with so many mounts, I'm afraid of a sandstorm......" Yang Qing thought in his heart, and muttered softly in his mouth.

Although the voice was soft, Guo Xi was close and still heard it. Looking at his deputy with appreciation, Guo Xi was very relieved, Yang Qing had obviously matured in the past month or so, and the speed of growth was enough to surprise everyone. When he first started, Yang Qing almost didn't understand anything, although he had a good idea and a long-term vision, but after all, he was not from the army, and some things that seemed very basic to others were plausible to him, so basically he was quietly watching Guo Xi and other generals give orders. But now, Guo Xi believes that even if Yang Qing is allowed to lead the army independently, Jian Yuwei will not be in chaos.

Looking at Yang Qing's appearance again, Guo Xi was even a little worried. When I return to Chang'an in triumph, will my younger sister Qin Juan settle accounts with myself? Yang Qing, who has become smoky and thin, but more sturdy, where does he still look like a scholar and Confucian general now?

"Ziyin doesn't have to worry too much." Guo Xi said with relief, "It's the beginning of April and summer, and sandstorms are more common in early spring. Even in the unlikely event of a sandstorm, as long as the momentum is not the most violent, our baggage vehicles and tents will be able to resist the periphery, and then we will pull our mounts in. ”

Yang Qing nodded: "That's right, we really have a lot of vehicles." If only our mounts were camels, and with them lying on their stomachs outside, we could lie down and sleep in them. ”

Guo Xi laughed: "Camels are still not as good as horses on flat land, and our road is not all deserts. ”

Yang Qing laughed twice, and suddenly remembered the large number of firearms carried by the army, and said: "The things brought down from Lishan are the most afraid of high temperature and humidity. The northwest is more dry, and the humidity is not worried. But after such a long march, the road was bumpy, and the day was beginning to get hot, so we had to be extra careful. ”

In order to keep it as secret as possible, even if no outsiders were present, Guo Xi and Yang Qing called the firearms they brought "brought down from Lishan", taking the meaning that the original idea took place in Lishan; Or directly called baby, this is a joke made by several generals when they saw the importance that Guo Xi and Yang Qing attached to firearms.

Guo Xi nodded: "Don't worry, I have told Sima Lin not to worry about anything else, just be optimistic that this is serious." Now he doesn't move much anymore, and he does his best. ”

Yang Qing thought about Sima Lin's slightly dull seriousness, and smiled knowingly. Look at the sky in the distance, and then look at the direction of the city: "Ten days of grain and grass is not a lot, right?" Why did it take so long for Lord An to mobilize? ”

Guo Xi sneered: "Xu we arrived five days early, so it will be difficult for him." ”

While he was talking, the quartermaster ran quickly: "Two generals, the grain and grass raised in Liangzhou have been delivered, and they are correct!" ”

"Good!" Guo Xi's spirits perked up, "Ye Guan! Pass the order, and the whole army will immediately open up! ”

The desert sand is like snow, and the moon is like a hook.

Although this is not the Yanshan Desert, and the moon in the sky is not as good as a hook, when Yang Qing lies quietly on the ground, watching the starry sky and the mountains in the distance revealing the long smoke-colored curve under the moonlight, he still feels the artistic conception in Li He's poem most truly.

At the current speed, Jian Yuwei will be able to reach Ganzhou (Zhangye) in five days, and it will be possible to arrive at Yumen Pass in ten days! The spring breeze does not pass the Yumen Pass, and when you get out of the Yumen Pass, you are really far away from Middle-earth......

"Childe, why are you lying on the ground? How cool! Zhang Nan searched around the tent and found no trace of Yang Qing, only to find that Yang Qing was a little stupid when he came out.

Yang Qing couldn't help but glance at Zhang Nan, puzzled! On this vast Gobi, the sky is a quilt and the earth is a bed, looking up at the starry sky, which can reflect the heroic feelings of the soldiers! Didn't Kant say, "There are only two things in this world that can deeply shake people's hearts, one is the lofty moral code in our hearts, and the other is the brilliant starry sky above our heads." ”

However, when Zhang Nan said this, Yang Qing really began to feel the chill on the ground, and he couldn't continue to despise him, Yang Qing turned over and got up: "Okay, okay, go in and rest." ”

Zhang Nan grinned, before leaving, the young lady could seriously explain, if she didn't take care of her son, she would have to ask herself! Looking at the situation of the young lady in the past few months since she got married, everyone who is smarter knows that it is better to offend the uncle than to offend the young lady!
