All the way to the dawn and overnight, the desert gradually changed from light yellow to dark yellow, and then from dark yellow to gray black, and it was close to the edge of the Gobi. ⊙ this area is more uninhabited, boundless, vast and desert, the spirits of the heroes are invigorated, riding horses and running, and soon a hill appears in the distance. In the blink of an eye, the stone wall is getting closer and closer, lined up, straight out, the clouds and mist between the mountains and rocks, it seems that there is another world in it, when running closer, suddenly a crack is exposed in the middle of the cliff, and goes straight into it along the mountain road, that is the traffic channel Xingxing Gorge between Gansu and Huijiang. The stone walls on both sides of the gorge stand awe-inspiring, as if they were cut with a knife, and when you look up at the sky, you only feel that the sky is blue and bright, as if you are looking up at the bottom of the sea. The rocks in the gorge are all dark and shiny. The road twists and turns, and the twists and turns are unusual. At this time, it has entered the winter, there is snow in the gorge at the beginning, black and white reflect each other, it is a wonder, I think that the situation in this gorge is so precipitous, it is really a good place to use soldiers; It's a pity that he is now behind the grain team, otherwise if there is enough oil, he will definitely destroy half of his grain and grass.

At this time, although it was September, the days and nights in the Western Regions were still long, and everyone did not know where Mu Zhuolun's tribe was now, so they had to follow behind the grain team. After Hami arrived at Dihua, the grain team rested in the city for two days, and Chen Jialuo and others also hurriedly bought horses to supplement dry food; From Dihua, it is inaccessible all the way, passing through Kurkha Lawusu to Huiyuan City.

"In the second year of Tang Xianqing, Gaozong ordered Su Dingfang to be the general manager of Yili Dao, march into this city, unify the northwest, and place its land in the state and government, which is subordinate to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and Tang Wu Zhou Chang'an changed to the newly established Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate in the second year." , Chen Jialuo pointed to the city in front of him and said, his words are not only to explain the origin of the city to everyone, but also to instill that this place has been owned by me since the beginning of the ancestors, so as not to give away those corrupt Confucians who are not angry at that time under the pretext that this place is useless.

"In the commentary, it is said that Su Dingfang is a traitor!" , This group of guys obviously didn't listen, and Zhang Jin began to spit and talk to Chang's Shuangxiong about Su Dingfang's plot against Luo Yi and Luo Cheng in the commentary.

"The commentary is just a fabrication, that Luo Yi after Taizong ascended the throne because he had offended Emperor Taizong before, he was afraid of retaliation and rebelled, Taizong ordered the eldest grandson Wuji and Wei Chi Jingde to lead the troops to quell the rebellion, and the army was defeated by the nearby Tang army before Luo Yi arrived, abandoned his wife and fled into the Turks, and was killed left and right, but he did not die at the hands of Su Dingfang." , Chen Jialuo patiently explained, suddenly thought that now there are few literate people in the world, if it is feasible to train a group of storytellers to manipulate public opinion, secretly write down this matter in his heart, and beat horses around the city.

The grain team first went west and then south, passing through the Tianshan Mountains to reach Laining City, and not far in front was Yarkand City, where the Dingbian general Zhaohui was fighting fiercely with Mu Zhuolun. Everyone had already changed into the clothes of the locals, and soon after they entered the city, they saw the secret mark of the Red Flower Society, and according to the secret note, they instructed everyone to come to an inconspicuous inn, and the incision in the upper meeting was taken to the backyard by Xiao Er.

"Helmsman, brothers! How did you guys get here? Seeing them come in, Shi Shuangying, who was boxing in the backyard, looked happy, "I miss my little brother!" ”

"Brother Twelve has worked hard!" When I entered the door, I saw that the shopkeeper and Xiao Er were both locals, but now they have become members of the Red Flower Society, presumably it is the credit of the ghost in front of Shi Shuangying, Chen Jialuo praised, "In just a few months, my Red Flower Society has taken root in this Leining City, and the twelve brothers have made great contributions!" ”

"The chief helmsman has won the award, and it is Miss Huo who has a high prestige in the local area, so I can find so many people!" , Shi Shuangying has always had a serious expression, and the smile just now is already rare, but now it has returned to a cold appearance.

"Have you ever seen Senior Lu and Miss Li? Where did the starlings go? As soon as he sat down, Chen Jialuo inquired about the news of other people.

"Starling, Senior Lu, and Miss Li are all in the Mu Lao Hero Tribe, and after hearing the news that the chief helmsman is coming, I will stay in this Laining City to greet the chief helmsman." , Shi Shuangying reported.

Hearing that they were safe and sound, Chen Jialuo was relieved, and turned to ask about the situation in the northwest, "But I don't know how the war is going recently?" ”

"In August this year, Dingbian General Zhaohui was ordered to lead his troops south from Huiyuan City to command the Qing army to attack the tribe of the old hero Mu Zhuolun; Zhaohui sent the deputy general Fude to Wensu, thinking that he should respond later, and led more than 4,000 horse infantry to attack Yarkand City, where the old hero was located. Shi Shuangying dipped his fingers in tea and explained while drawing a picture on the table, "Yarkand City is more than ten miles in circumference, and there are 12 city gates. After receiving the news of the chief helmsman, Mu Lao Hero dug a ditch and built a platform 5 miles east of the city where the Qing army must pass, as a barrier; And the implementation of the wall clearing. On the third day of the first month of October, Zhaohui's troops arrived at Huiqi Arik, 40 miles away from Yarkand City, camped across the river, and sent left and right wings to seize the Tutai in the east of the city and control the main road in and out. On the sixth day of the first month, hundreds of cavalry rushed out of the east, west and north gates, and the two armies fought, and the old hero was defeated in three battles, so he retreated to the city to hold on. The Zhaohui camp was encamped on the banks of the Heishui River, and now the two armies were facing each other. ”

"How's the battle going elsewhere?" Objectively speaking, Qianlong's use of troops this time is meritorious to maintain the unity of the country, but now that Chen Jialuo is on the opposite side of him, he can only find a way to destroy, it is best to let the Qing army and the tribes lose both, then it will be easier to recover this place after he wins the world.

"On the 26th day of the first month of this year, Qianlong announced that all ministries would suppress the first rebellion, appease the majority, and appoint the generals who commanded the battle, with Yar Hashan as the general of Jing's rebellion, Haning'a as the counselor, and Shundena and Ailong'a as the leading ministers. In May, Yarhashan led more than 10,000 people of Manchu and Han Qing armies, and arrived at Kuqa from Turpan to Kuqa with Hubei as a guide. Now dozens of nearby cities are attached to the Qing court, judging from the current situation in the city, the Qing generals and soldiers have the intention of underestimating the enemy, and the war in the northwest has lasted for three years, the cost is huge, and the homesickness of the soldiers is more and more, and they all want to defeat the tribe of the old hero in this battle and go home. Shi Shuangying did a lot of homework and replied in detail.

Talent! There are finally people in these dozen or so masters who can be of great use! Chen Jialuo secretly praised in his heart, "The art of war has clouds, and the soldiers will be defeated, and this time the old hero may be able to win the battle!" ”

Afraid of forbidden words, a lot of place names have to use ancient names, if there is something wrong, please correct. Thanks to the rewards of Cang Qianqing and Malu under the sun, I stepped back to 19 again, begging to catch up.
