After finishing speaking, Duan Zuo pointed to the east with the blade of his sword, "The Xu Sheren forced us to leave our hometown in Shanzhou, first passing through the snow-capped mountain where Guzang Mountain was located, and then marching to the Chishui Army, and walking almost three hundred miles before we arrived at Yanzhi Mountain. ”

Duan Zuo looked to the west with the blade of his sword, "After crossing the Yanzhi Mountain, we will go west along the weak water to the side of the Qilian Mountain in Ganzhou, where we will have to give the Fan soldiers of the Northern Road Tuntian, Tuntian Tuntian, but after a year and a half of hard work, most of the income has to be taken away by the Fan soldiers for them to attack Dunhuang, we may not even be able to guarantee their stuttering, and we have to transport grain to Guazhou for 700 miles, and the dead will be more than 100 miles when they cross Guzang Mountain, and then go to Ganzhou Tuntian, I am afraid that all your bones will be scattered in a foreign land with weak water, and become ghosts in other places." If we don't save ourselves, we won't be able to live, and everyone will die, so we would rather die than do big things. ”

"I wish the horse was the first to look forward!" At this time, thousands of Tang people shouted in unison, and many women began to cry, but it was not a timid cry, but a heroic cry, and even if they were weak, they had already made up their minds not to die in Ganzhou Tuntian.

Hao Xuan's wife held her children tightly and said to them, "Don't forget the hatred of your father's murder at the death of your father (at this time Hao's wife thinks her husband is dead), and don't forget that Fan Zi did not allow us to pay tribute to your father's shame." ”

The two children turned their backs and replied in a childish and crisp voice, "The children dare not forget!" ”

At this time, Saka thrust his sword into the ground and pointed to the shrine on the hillside.

The Tang people who recognized the characters clearly saw that there were still a few words on the plaque of this shrine, "Han Hussar General Huo".

Duan Zuodang immediately divided and deployed all the Tang people, and then let his comrades each lead a part, and thousands of Tang people quickly and orderly drove livestock, carried farm tools, or pushed calf carts, and scattered to the peaks and peaks of Yanzhi Mountain, choosing a flat place with a water source, and the men cut down trees and erected sheds, burned wasteland and cultivated (they went to Ganzhou Tuntian, carrying grain seeds); Women and children picked edible wild vegetables and stones.

The entire Yanzhi Mountain stretches for dozens of miles, across the middle waist of the Hexi Corridor, and is also the throat of Ganliang, Duan Zuo knows that the local military fort in Xibo is about to send troops to capture and clear them.

Fortunately, the Yanzhi mountains and rivers are rich in grass, the land is fertile, salt and iron are produced, and there are many dangerous places with mountain springs and mountain streams. The women and children assisted the men and heard the alarm letters.

This Yanzhi cottage officially erected the great banner of self-help and resistance to tyranny by the Tang people in the Helong area.

Of course, they didn't know that thousands of miles away at the junction of Jiannan and Yunnan, there were also Tang Zhushi ministers who also tried their best to save them.

"Shazhou, Anxi four towns and Beiting are all protected, I can save it!"

The Wuhou Temple in Liwu City, Gao Yue, who placed the command post here, secretly made up his mind and kept encouraging himself, and when he heard the scout report: "The barbarian soldiers of Lianglin and Fengpadong on the West Road noticed that a large number of soldiers had appeared in the river valley on the other side of the Saigon River, and they were rushing here. Then he pointed his finger to the west side of the city of Taideng, "The Xifan garrisons in Saigon and Lacheng can be reinforced, and they can be reinforced. ”

"The purpose of begging for hiding and covering is now very clear, that is, to use the platform to stick to us, and then all kinds of soldiers will come to help, waiting for the opportunity to attack inside and outside, and eat you and me." Wei Gao looked at the sand table map and said.

"Then we will take the first step and concentrate our forces to break through the gateway to the north valley of Taideng City, Baosai City. Then turn around, block or even eat their reinforcements one by one, and then outflank and annihilate the beggars! "Gao Yue finalized the plan to besiege the city and send reinforcements.

Begging to hide and cover, do you know that in later generations, there will also be a brave and resourceful General Zhang, who died on a mountain called Meng Lianggu?

On May 27, in the area between the banks of the Saigon River and Liuqiang Town, a total of 6,000 Eastern Barbarian soldiers from the Lianglin and Fengpa Divisions, under the leadership of their respective big ghost masters, arrived here from the Qing Military City.

Your duty is to encircle Liuqiang Town internally, block the Tibetan soldiers who came from Saigon, Lacheng and other places to reinforce the Tibetan Cover, and immediately wait until Gao Qihou's Dingwu army arrives, and then cooperate with them to capture Liuqiang Town.

Liuqiang Town, located between Saigon River and Beigu, is the traffic throat of Taideng City, and it is also the "Old Baosai City" that Gao Yue must seize first.

Under the guidance of Xu Qi, the righteous servants of the Eastern Barbarians carried the coarse bamboos cut down to the bank of the Saigon River under the old Baosai City to the bank of the Saigon River, sharpened and woven into a seven-foot fence, known as the "Bamboo City", and firmly occupied the important place of entry and exit.

There were nearly 10,000 reinforcements from Xibo in Saigon and Lacheng, and when they saw the strict bamboo city in the east, they could only choose to set up a camp on the high platform in the north of Saigon Sichuan, and face each other across the river from Liuqiang Town.

At the same time, Xie Facheng's Dongchuan soldiers in the middle of the Tang army had uprooted several Xifan forts and approached Hulangshan Dazhai on the northeast side of Taideng City, while Liu Chaocai's supervisor on the east road, Bei Deng Dongman, had also occupied various important places in Papaya Ridge, and also began to build camps, and Xie Facheng was a horn in each other's corners.

Seeing that the Tang army's advance base was as solid as a rock, and the crossbowmen of Xichuan and Dongchuan fired arrows according to the danger, making it difficult for the Xifan soldiers to move an inch, he was a little frightened, so he asked Zema Dingde: "The reinforcements of Saigon and Lacheng are blocked outside Liuqiang Town, and Liuqiang Town is gradually surrounded by Tang troops from all walks of life. ”

"Liuqiang Town is a choke point, if this place is lost, then the soldiers and horses of Saigon and Lacheng will be completely unable to come to help. On the contrary, if this place can be held, the Tang army will not be able to advance to Taideng City at all, and the flanks and grain routes will also be threatened. "Ma Dingde, please speak.

Begging for shelter promised to give Ma Dingde 2,000 elite soldiers, and let him take his own people to reinforce Liuqiang Town on the Beigu Mountain Trail.

"Why haven't the reinforcements from Shenchuan, Huichuan, and Shugong arrived yet?" At this time, the beggar was concerned about the reinforcements from the south.

Before he could finish speaking, several cage officials turned pale, hurriedly walked into the palace and castle, and told the beggar to cover up the shocking bad news:

"The barbarian king of Yunnan is reversed!"

"What?" The beggar was blinded and blackened.

Yi Mu Xun sent troops extremely quickly this time, and when the nearest Huichuan defense envoy was just about to go north to aid Taiwan and enter the city, the army of Nanzhao attacked the city, like a divine soldier descending from the sky, so frightened that the beggar could only shrink and defend the city.

This backstab of Yi Mu Xun was simply fatal to the Xifan military horses of Yunling and Jiannan - Yi Mu Xun asked the Qingping official Zheng Hui to besiege Huichuan with 10,000 soldiers and horses, and let Duan Gu Pudu Governor 10,000 soldiers and horses base Lujin Ferry to block the reinforcements of Xifan Shenchuan and Jianchuan and prevent them from approaching, and then Yi Mu Xun himself and Zheng Qi personally led the remaining 20,000 soldiers and horses to bypass the siege of Huichuan without fighting, and stormed Jingkou, Qianglang and other strongholds, and rolled towards Dengtai Chengnan Road.
