Everyone went on the road, and when they passed by the Jiaohe County Ya, Gao Jun went first, and the county commander Liu Wencheng hurriedly ran out to greet him, "Lord Dudu, why did you come so suddenly!" Xia Guan was not prepared. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Jiaohe County is a county within the jurisdiction of Xizhou, and Gao Jun is in charge. After meeting Liu Wencheng, he only asked one question, "Has Chen Zhutou ever come back after he went to the Shayacheng Gold Mine to be a steward?" ”

Liu County ordered, "Lord Gao, you can ask, Lord Chen happens to be in Jiaohe these two days, if you want to see him, the lower official will find him for you." ”

Gao Jun laughed and said no, secretly saying that he had no opponent in Jiaohe County, so it was this person who secretly raised soil during dinner. He shook his head and said, "I'm fine, I'm just a little concerned about him, I don't know how Lord Chen's complexion is these days in Shaya City?" ”

Liu Wencheng said, "Xia Guan didn't pay attention to this, but Xia Guan and Master Chen just drank last night, and his complexion has not changed much." After saying a few more words, Gao Jun got up and said goodbye, and Liu Xian ordered Master Gao to come back, I don't know what he suddenly asked what his intentions were.

Wang Yunda, the chief pastor of the camel and horse pasture in the field, accompanied the chief pastor to the pasture outside the city to take a look, the alfalfa grew gratifyingly, and the endless green waves of the grassland were rolling, and Gao Jun almost didn't recognize the place where the sand was everywhere before.

However, Wang Yunda said that in the past half month, for unknown reasons, the water in the canal has suddenly decreased by four or five percent

"Have you seen it along the way? Is there any place to intercept the flow? ”

Wang Yunda said, "My brother once led people along the channel, from the east valley of Gutun City to Tingzhou, there was no one to intercept the flow along the way, everyone knew that it was the water source of the Tianshan pasture. ”

"That's weird, it's getting hotter and hotter, is it drying all the way?"

Wang Yunda shook his head, "Most of the canals pass through the shade of the mountain, and they are only exposed to the sun when they enter the ground in Tingzhou, and besides, the weather is hot, and the snow on the mountain is not melted more?" ”

This matter involves the harvest of Tiandi City, the largest grassland in Xizhou, and Gao Jun wants to see it in person.

But Wang Yunda said that there were a few people brought by Gao Daren, only six herding teams, and there were a total of eight people including Gao Yu's second brother. The governor said, "It's just a journey, not a war." ”

When I passed under the city of Tingzhou, I met Shi Wangda, the governor of Tingzhou. Gao Jun smiled and arched his hand, "Lord Wang, I didn't want to disturb you, so I didn't go to the city. ”

After Wang Da returned to Xizhou from Dangyang County, his complexion changed greatly, and he returned to his previous appearance with a white face and black beard. He smiled and said, "The lower officials have already seen that the governor of Gao Du is out on patrol." But your charcoal BMW, let the lower officials recognize the tall man in the city! ”

Wang Da decided to go with Master Gao again, so he allocated sixty cavalry from the defenders of Tingzhou and accompanied him with the banner of Tingzhou. This small team galloped along the channel, Wang Da was originally a military general, and his riding skills were not under these people, so he quickly went to the east of Gutun City Valley to guard and capture.

Along the way, Gao Jun didn't see anything unusual, the starting point of the canal dug by Wang Da was here, and further up, several streams flowing down from the mountain converged here.

The last time Gao Jun killed the Yi Pi Lu Division, Gao Rang once brought the only 30 people in the Tucheng to guard and capture, and blocked the original 800 people from behind the young city lord of Futu City, Zhilin and his son.

However, time has passed, and at this time, Futu City has been transformed into the Tang Dynasty Tingzhou, and the original city lord Ashina Bobu father and son have turned enemies into friends, so this place is only left with the task of maintaining road security on the line from Tingzhou to Baiyanghe Ranch.

Gao Rang said to the Grand Du, "We thirty or so people are almost unable to run!" ”

"The water in the few streams flowing down the mountain suddenly became less, and a month ago there was a stream where you could jump down to take a bath, but now you can only wash your feet." ”

Gao Jun said, it's getting dark, let's rest in Shouyu for a night, and we'll go up the mountain early tomorrow morning to have a look.

Early the next morning, Gao Rang left ten people in the guard, and personally brought the remaining twenty people and carried the mountain climbing rope with him. Gao Jun led the group up the mountain along the deepest valley of a stream. At first, the mountain is soothing, but the more you go, the more steep the canyon on both sides becomes, and in some places you can only see a glimmer of sky, covered by ancient trees, and people and horses can only ride through, but the temperature is more and more pleasantly refreshing.

In the evening, they pulled their horses up the last steep cliff and opened up to a bright laketop at their feet, a mirror-like lake made up of melting snow from the surrounding mountains.

But the shore of the lake, which flows from here to the direction of the mountain guard, is thought to have been raised by people not long ago, and it has almost cut off the water source of several streams below the mountain when it came. It is only when the lake is higher that there will be more water in the direction of Field City.

In this way, someone did it on purpose.

Not far away, on the other side of the lake, there were pine waves, and suddenly a gust of mountain wind that blew over transmitted the faint sound of speech along the wind, but Gao Yu and the others couldn't understand it.

Gao Jun said that this must be someone from the Yipida Land Division, but he only relied on his previous memories and made a judgment from the tone of the other party's speech, and he didn't understand what the other party said.

However, there was one person from Tingzhou who could understand, and the young man said that those people were talking about eating, and it was time to eat. Gao Jun motioned for everyone to hide nearby, and called two shepherds and asked them to take this person to the other side to check the reality of the other party.

Gao Yu had never seen such a formation, and at first he was a little nervous, and he didn't even dare to come out. However, he saw that whether it was his brothers, Wang Da, Gao Rang and others, they were all very calm, and then he slowly calmed down his beating heart.

But when a shepherd came back with the Tingzhou soldiers, and after listening to their report, Gao Yu's heart beat wildly again.

In the forest on the other side of the lake, there are two wooden fences, one of which is a little smaller, and it seems that it is guarded by dozens of people.

Another wooden village a hundred steps away in the south is mostly there, but the fence is lower than this side, and the tun is Hu Bing, and the number can not be determined for a while, but they roughly counted the tent tops in the village, there are more than 20.

The shepherds replied to Lord Gao that at this time these people were eating in the open space in front of the first wooden village, and that there were also people who had come from farther south to eat. But he said that the people from the south were not soldiers, but craftsmen.

Master Gao said, "Here is Yanqi in the south of the mountain, and Gutun City and Datang Shouyu in the north of the mountain, all of which are our territory, why are the people of the Yipida Land Department secretly inserted here from the top of the mountain, it seems that the Ashina Desire Valley is also drought!" ”

The second brother asked, "What about the brother of the pastoral team who went with him?" Why didn't you come back! ”

Gao Jun replied for the shepherd who came back first, "That kid is hiding in the bushes to watch the gluttony, and by the way, count how many people are eating." ”

The second brother Gao Yu didn't seem to hear what the other shepherd said was doing, he even thought that the person who didn't come back was in danger, and after listening to his brother's words, Gao Yu was still a little suspicious.

Gao Jun didn't explain, but Gu Dong guarded Gao Rang and whispered to Gao Yu, "If that person is in danger, the person who comes back will say this first when they see Lord Gao." He didn't rush to say, of course the one was not in danger. ”
