At this time, in the west of the green ridge, the warbler flies and the grass grows, and it is the time when the spring is the strongest.

An east-west mountain range, straddling the path of a weary army. The vanguard of the army climbed the mountain path between the mountains, and on either side of them were the steep and handsome peaks, and the mountain path was simply a crack in the mountain that had been carved out of the mountain.

On the mountain road, there are countless stones everywhere, of different shapes and sizes, as if all the stones from all over the world come here at the same time to gather and show each other their style.

The strange peaks covered with white clothes want to compete with the heavens. Standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up, a sense of nothingness and trembling quietly took control of the legs of many admirers, often accompanied by an inexplicable and mysterious sense of fear.

Knowing the season, the good rain came as scheduled, bringing the dripping of spring, moistening all things and washing everything.

Zi said: The nobleman went out to attract wind and rain. It's really timely. ”

The shameless Li Huaitang held high the banner of "Zi" again and put gold on his face.

"General, which saint said this, is there a source?"

The depressed Wumeng finally couldn't help it, could it be that he had been away from Middle-earth for too long, and something powerful had happened recently?

"Well, I don't remember much about it. In short, the eggs are delicious, it doesn't matter which hen gives birth to them. Well, let's put it this way, the son is like the chicken, and what he said is the egg. It's not the chicken that's important, it's the egg. Got it? ”

After speaking, Li Huaitang hurriedly led the horse away, leaving the confused Wumeng behind.

"The son is a hen, and he lays eggs?"

The unfamiliar high argument made Umon completely confused.

After a short rest in the valley of the Vakhsh River, the strength of the people of the Guangming Department recovered slightly, and Li Huaitang ordered the army to set off. The journey up the river lasted for a month, and the road became more and more difficult, and sometimes, it was necessary to dismount and walk all day, and the rugged and narrow path was very dangerous. The oxen-drawn carts were abandoned, and the grain was loaded onto pack horses. For two months, they had eaten most of their grain and half of their sheep, and the more they got to the end, the less they carried.

The light rain made the trail even more muddy and caused problems for the protection of various supplies. Food must not touch water, weapons must not touch water, and strong crossbows that continue to dry in the armed courtyard cannot touch water. The wounded, sick, women, girls and children are also not allowed to touch the water. The tents were torn to pieces, and the people or things that needed to be waterproof were covered with grease felt.

Fortunately, the hardships did not stop the pace of progress, and the destination was approaching day by day.

"What's the name of this mountain? How far are you from your destination? Li Huaitang, who was in a hurry, couldn't help but ask about Kang Sarai.

After more than two months of migration, the people of the Ministry of Light were exhausted, and the goal seemed to be far away. The only consolation is that the most difficult road has been completed, and yesterday the army said goodbye to the valley and advanced north. According to previous statements by Konsale, at this rate, it will take another three days to reach the destination.

Kang Shalai wiped the cold rain on his face, and improvised to gush: "This mountain, the Lite people call it Alai Mountain, echoing with the outer Alai Mountain in the south, in the middle is the valley where we came, the place where we just turned to the north is a thoroughfare, all the way to the east, there are about 100 miles to Gelu Ridge, and after crossing this ridge into the Tang Dynasty. From that thoroughfare to the south, beyond the Wai Alai Mountains, are the five hidden kingdoms, and then, I heard that in turn they are the green mountains and the little boles. ”

"This is the easternmost section of Mount Alai, and after crossing this mountain, the destination is close at hand. The general did not need to be in a hurry, the rest of the journey was much easier, and the distance from the Alai Mountain to the hometown of the Second Division was the same as that from Samarkand to the city of Beggar. ”

This Kang Sarai is really good at showmanship, Li Huaitang listened to it for a long time before getting an answer, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. However, the place of thoroughfare in the mouth of Konsalai aroused his interest and attention, and the importance of such a key place was self-evident if a military town was built there.

"The Thoroughfare? Is that where the big rock is? Li Huaitang asked.

Konshalai nodded, "Exactly." ”

"I see that the boulder is yellow, so let's call it Yellowstone, and in the future, I will build a stone fort on this big Yellowstone and guard the main road!"

"Yellowstone? Good name! The general is really talented! ”

Consalai put on his best job.

Li Huaitang accepted Kang Sarai's compliment and laughed again and again.

Unconsciously, Li Huaitang had crossed the highest point of the mountain and was on the way down. A rushing stream flowed past his feet, flowing downward, converging countless other streams at the foot of the mountain, and then winding all the way to the northwest and disappearing from Li Huaitang's sight.

Seeing that Li Huaitang was interested in the river under the mountain, Kang Shalai hurriedly said: "The name of this river is ......"

"Don't be busy," Li Huaitang suddenly interrupted Kang Shalai, with a hint of sadness, and said: "No matter what it was called before, from this moment on, it is the Purple Purple River, my Purple Purple River!" ”

"Purple River? Good name, good name! ”

Kang Shalai sneered, he had heard a little about Su Zizi's story, and the name of the general showed the long-term affection in his heart. It's just that in this land, there are many rivers, and I don't know how many more women's names the general will give to these rivers.

"When the matter of Ningyuan City is over, I will set up a stone tablet here and engrave the three big characters of Zizihe, so that future generations will always call her Zizihe."

Beyond Mount Alai, the view suddenly widens, and the terrain slopes slowly from east to northwest, but the terrain is relatively flat, which is conducive to riding and running.

"What the hell are they doing, why haven't they heard from them?"

has already entered the range of the destination, and the expected advance cavalry, Kuroko, they still have not appeared. Li Huaitang's face has always had a trace of worry that cannot be eliminated, and at this moment, it is becoming more and more intense.

Kuroko led the team to set off a month ago, and there has been no news back so far. Due to the rain and fog, the white jade claw could not exert its power, and the previous situation had to rely on scouts to investigate, and for unfamiliar areas, the cautious scouts were progressing quite slowly.

Supposedly, Kuroko can also estimate when the army will arrive. Now that the scouts have not been able to contact for a long time, it means that they are in trouble, and besides, the trouble should not be small.

In the sporadic rain, a scout rushed back on his horse, and came to Li Huaitang under the concerned gaze of everyone.

"General, I found this earlier."

The scout stepped forward with a feathered arrow in both hands.

Li Huaitang took the feather arrow in the scout's hand and looked at it carefully.

"It was marked with the sign of an eagle rider, and it was planted in a conspicuous place on the river beach twenty miles ahead. Next to this arrow, there is also a feathered arrow, and the arrow is pointed to the northeast. ”

The scout continued.

Li Huaitang's eyelids jumped, and his eyes stared to the northeast.

"Have scouts been sent to investigate in that direction?"

Li Huaitang tried to stay calm.

"Yes, General, General Eagle has sent most of his scouts."

The scout replied.

Li Huaitang nodded, and then ordered: "Six monkeys, order all the cavalry to gather, and the whole army will enter a state of readiness at the same time, there must be no mistake!" ”

Without waiting for the six monkeys to answer, Li Huaitang rode down the river beach, followed by the scout who was half a beat slower.

A nervous mood quickly spread among all the soldiers and civilians of the Ministry of Light. It was not that they were afraid of the enemy that might appear, their greatest enemy now was fatigue, and after crossing the mountain, everyone relaxed, and all looked forward to the order to rest. And Li Huaitang's order disappointed everyone's expectations.

The rigorous training in peacetime played a role at the critical moment, and under the angry shouts of the backbone generals, the soldiers dragged their tired bodies, lined up, and soon entered a state of readiness.

Nearly a thousand cavalry also followed Li Huaitang's side, and on a beach of the Purple River, the scouts found the location where the eagle cavalry had left a mark. A feathered arrow engraved with the mark of the Eagle Rider lay quietly on the river beach, silently pointing to the northeast, intertwined with another feathered arrow that had just been pulled out by the scout, as if to tell the later robes that they were in the distance in the distance. This signal, it seems, was left behind by the sunspots, to show the army where they were.

Once again, luck was shining on the Ministry of Light, and the light rain and fog had begun to dissipate, and visibility was slowly improving.

"Flying Eagle, don't live up to the heavens' kindness to us, release the white jade claws!"

The sense of worry on Li Huaitang's face eased somewhat, and was replaced by a resolute look. He believed in the ability of the sunspot and the strength of the five hundred cavalry, no amount of wind and waves could not stump them, since there had never been before, the powerful Turgish people could not destroy them, then, the power of the ground here was even more impossible.

"Konsale, give me a brief description of the topography." Li Huaitang summoned Kang Sarai, eager to learn about the nearby terrain from his mouth. As a general, you should first be familiar with the geography of the battlefield, which is a necessary condition for victory.

"General, this is a territory that is not counted as a territory, surrounded by mountains on three sides. The terrain is also flat, high in the southeast and low in the northwest. There are four main rivers, all of which originate in the high mountains to the east and south, and flow northwest into another adjacent area, Ferghana. To the northeast of our present position is one of the four major rivers near the Ferghana Mountains to the north. I haven't been there, but it's said to be the land of the valley upstream. ”

The only guide here, Kang Sarai, is making up for Li Huaitang's geographical knowledge.

"The valley?"

Li Huaitang began to think, usually such terrain is more suitable for ambushes. To deal with the horse bandits here, it is not a problem to fight hard head-on, and the five hundred horsemen of Kuroko can deal with thousands of people at the same time. However, once an ambush is encountered, the outcome is unpredictable.

In the sky, the high-flying white jade claw let out a high-pitched cry. Everyone on the ground raised their heads at the same time, their vigilant eyes staring straight at the white jade claw.
