At this time, the combined forces of Wei Gao and Gao Yue, who seized Qingxi Pass, really used big stones and broken logs to break the pass that was only more than a zhang wide and passed through the cliffs, and then Wei Gao and Gao Yue stood on the top of the pass, the snow fell all over their armor, and the fine wool swayed in the cold wind, looking at the Papaya Ridge position of the Xifan military camp opposite.

After looking at it for a while, Gao Yue half-squatted on the ground, pulled the stones with his hands, and arranged a simple topographic sand table in the north and south of Qingxi Pass, and said: "Hearing is false, seeing is believing, Qingxi Pass is not the terrain of Yifu Pass in the rumor, according to the Dongban who is familiar with geography, there are three roads that can be passed on the side of the pass alone, and there are no less than five or six fine roads opened up by the barbarians, so if you really want to break off here, you must build a fortress and garrison the army." ”

Wei Gao thought about it for a while, saying that Qingxi Pass is not a mountain stream, and there is no civil engineering, there are only big stones in the mountains, and it is not realistic to have too many soldiers and horses stationed here, according to my opinion, the most secure defense strategy is to set up a small and strong military fort here, equipped with beacon fire, and then build a large military city between it and the plains of the Dadu River, so that it can be connected to the line of Liwu City in Lizhou across the Dadu River.

The two close comrades-in-arms immediately decided to leave only Liu Chaocai, the Marquis of Fengyi, the capital of the Fengyi Army, to lead 2,000 soldiers, each set up a wooden fence, and stood on the Qingxi Pass Ridge to act as a defensive line and eyes, and frequently sent scout teams to reconnoiter the situation of the opposite Papaya Ridge and Xifan.

Subsequently, Gao Yue's 7,000 Dingwu army set up camp on the slope north of Qingxi Pass, in an area that the Xifan team could not see, and covered Wei Gao and the remaining 3,000 or 4,000 Fengyi soldiers, surrounded the old site of Wangxingyi in the north of Dadu River, and began to dig trenches and prepare the military city. And the six thousand righteous disciples of Dongban also came to help.

At the same time, the entire Xichuan, Banan, Dongchuan, Xingyuan, Jingnan, and Kuifu Fengjie areas have begun to operate logistics in accordance with the offensive and defensive alliance agreement of several Yuanrong marshals:

The grain from Jingnan and Kuifu crossed the Yangtze River and arrived in Yuzhou to assemble; Xingyuan's grain starts from Lizhou Sanquanyuan, goes down the Jialing water, Banan's grain along Bashui, Dongchuan's grain along Fushui, Sanshuidu to Hechuan in Hezhou (Hechuan is actually more famous in the Southern Song Dynasty, Diaoyu City is located) to meet, and then the grain ship goes southeast 180 miles, and also to Yuzhou - Yuzhou as the most important transit station, after the ship is allocated, the grain from all over the country is transported to Luzhou and Rongzhou, and then all the way to Jiazhou's water transport to Chong Longyou, where it meets with the grain ships from the Minshui of Shudu City, Then take Longyou (this place is also the confluence of the three rivers of Minshui, Tsing Yi and Dadu) as the starting point, follow the Dadu water, hire Dongban and other barbarians around it, make a large number of cowhide rafts, and send the grain to the camps of Wei Gao and Gao Yue after hardships.

Liu Changqing gave full play to his talents in Liu Yan's patrol courtyard in the past, and set up sections along the waterway, and after each section of the boatman, man, and slender man, he could extract part of the rice grain and salt as a reward on the spot in the ship, so that the ship would be lighter and lighter, and the speed would be faster and faster, so as not to delay.

For every 10,000 stone of grain, excluding the part that is used to cover the foot power money, there are still 5,000 stone that can finally be sent to the camp, which is already very low.

Not long after, Wangxingyi became "Wangxingcheng", and the Dadu River outside the city was full of noisy scenes of boats like forests: Gao Yue ordered the establishment of a military market here, and directly transported surplus grain from Dongchuan, Xichuan, Xingyuan, Banan and other places, and other goods that were loved by the barbarians (brought by the cabin), such as silk, salt, paper, shochu, dyes, etc., were taken out and sold, and exchanged with the Dongban, in exchange for cattle, horses, and sheep fur, and as a result, not only the Dongban, but also the Qianghu Fan Luo in the west of Yazhou came to trade. The trade route runs from Wangxing City on the south bank to Hanyuan Field on the north bank, and pack horses and rafts are constantly flowing.

At the same time, at this moment, the men and women of the entire three Dongban tribes, according to Wei Gao's instructions, began to grow food from the land from Liwu City to Qionglai Pass, and began to rush to grow food around the mountains and flats of each military city.

The materials were abundant, the morale of the Fengyi Army and the Dingwu Army was higher, and the morale of the army was more stable.

And over there from Papaya Ridge to Dengtai City, the life of the 40,000 soldiers and horses in Xifan is not good, their supplies basically come from the local soldiers of their own tribe cultivation and grazing, but now most of the men are stationed on the front line, the output of land and pastures suddenly decreased, and there is no object to loot, which is the backwardness of the tribal soldier and civilian system.

As for Wei Gao and Gao Yue, all of them were standing generals, and some of the archers stayed in the rear tuntian, and when there was a shortage of manpower, they could still let the military government and the prefecture and county hire people to help, which was worry-free.

In the entire Shanzhou area, there are thousands of mountains and mountains, and the snow shows no signs of stopping, and it is getting bigger and bigger.

Zampu kept sending bird envoys, galloping thousands of miles away, asking for recklessness to fight.

On recklessness, he constantly urged Yunnan's Yang Tho Bacheng to send troops and food, as a servant to help himself, in fact, on recklessness is not really thinking about finding a different thing, it is more about pushing Zampu and frantically throwing the pot.

Privately, on recklessness, he still accepted Ma Dingde's proposal and mobilized 10,000 people on all sides of the city to build a fortress with stars and moons.

In the palace hall of Yangtho Baa City, the envoy of Xifan has arrived, with other deputy envoys, lined up in a row, and kept chanting, asking the king of Yunnan Dongri in the palace to mobilize the military horses in all countries as soon as possible, go out of the land of Huichuan, and confluence with the reckless heat, and annihilate the Tang army.

Qi Shengtuo repeatedly said that as long as Xifan and Nanzhao cooperate sincerely, they will be able to reproduce the glorious victory of Ge Luofeng against the Tang army that invaded Yamato City during the Tianbao period.

"The god Zanpu promised that if Wei Gao and Gao Yue were defeated this time, the city of Shu would definitely not be protected, and then the surrounding city of Shu would be my Dafan and set as the eastern capital; And the number of states south of the capital city of Shu are all owned by the king of the east day, after which the king of the east day along the big water, the river to expand the land, the big fan does not ask, and restore the king of the east day once 'the emperor of the east' honorific title, and I Zampu to fight against the court, equal share the world. "The beggar is out of the blue.

But before Yi Mu Xun made a decision, Qi Shengtuo couldn't wait to throw out the so-called good-neighborly policy - asking Yi Mu Xun's own brother to make Luo Dong, and one of the six Qing Ping officials, quickly prepare a stagecoach, enter some cities to study Buddhism, and the food, clothes, ghee, etc. needed will be borne by Zampu, which is a great favor for you Yunnan!

"Shameless, are you a fool when Yuan?" Yi Mu Xun was furious in his heart, but he didn't show his face on the surface, but he just refuted it and said that Yuan wanted to do this, but the northwest of Yunnan leads to the Dafan Road, and he must cross the Jianchuan and Shenchuan, where my old enemy of the Mengshi clan is entrenched, and I am afraid that my brother and the sons of the Qingping officials will be attacked and kidnapped by them in the past.

Qi Shengtuo cleverly said that Sanlang was completely obedient to Xifan, and as long as I sent them letters, they would definitely not behave like this.

As a result, this remark made Yi Mu Xun's heart even more dissatisfied!
