Chapter 917: The General's True Colors
When they reached the top of the stream, which only exposed a glimmer of sky, they looked up and saw that there were also torches planted at the halfway point of the cliff, as if they were about to start building a plank road in the sky, and people would walk from it.

It was still very hot when they came out of Xizhou's home, but at this time it was much more refreshing, thinking that they could see Gao Jun soon, the two of them were also in a very comfortable mood, and they each pulled their horses to speed up their march.
It wasn't until every two mornings that they reached the top of the mountain.
There are no traces of the great war mentioned by the people below, and there is not even a trace of blood in the air, there is a big lake, there are two wooden villages by the lake, and the grain and grass in one wooden village are piled up, and the one left behind is the second brother Gaoyu.
Gao Yu's task is to supervise the gang leaders to burn firewood, cook, and do logistics. After seeing Liu Yuru and Fan Ying, the second brother asked, "Brothers and sisters, aren't you at ease?" ”
Liu Yuru asked, what about the second brother?
Gao Yu pointed to the guide and said that Gao Jun was commanding the building of the city under the valley. Fan Ying had seen the village in the woods in front of her, and it seemed that there were no five hundred people in total, "Second brother, is that all there is to the 'Liangzhou Army'?" ”
Gao Yu said, "This is still a reinforcement that came up later, how could there be so many at the beginning, even if I count it, there are more than 80 people!" But in broad daylight, this little bit of people makes my brother play like about 200 people! Tricked all the small 300 soldiers of the Epyrida Land Department away without blood! ”
Liu Yuru and Fan Ying listened to the second brother's details, and only then did they roughly learn what happened:
Under the leadership of Gao Jun, these people occupied the grain village at night, and then Gao Yu led eighteen people to occupy the grain village and close the gate of the village, starving the Hu people twice first, until their eyes glowed green, and then they raised the flag of Tingzhou.
At this time, Gao Jun, Wang Da, and Gao Rang had taken the opportunity to take the rest of the people and attacked the stone city that was halfway down the valley. As soon as those troubled Hu soldiers and Hu craftsmen saw the Tingzhou people with bright armor and bright armor, and the leader was the chief pastoral supervisor of the Tianshan Mountains, they surrendered the city and surrendered their weapons almost without resistance.
By the time the one hundred and sixty people in the Hu people's soldiers came back to their senses, they had already had empty stomachs and no spirit to even raise their eyelids, and the stone city and grain and grass in front and behind had been occupied by Tingzhou.
They saw that on the wall of the grain village, the Tang soldiers of Tingzhou were crowded, only a lot more than themselves, and it was not long before there were more than 100 cavalry galloping out of the woodland behind the grain village.
The leading Hu general pinched his fingers and calculated, probably thinking that if he tried to fight back and seize the village, not to mention the disadvantage in numbers, the grain and grass were also in the hands of the other party, and the retreat route was also blocked by Tingzhou. The people of the Epyrida Land Department have no chance of winning at all.
At this time, Master Gao, the superintendent of the Silk Road of the Tang Dynasty, led six shepherds to the front of Huzhai, declaring that if these people did not resist, he would use the reputation of the Silk Road superintendent to ensure that everyone's lives were safe and let them go west.
So these people also gave up their resistance in a timely manner. Lord Gao also specially wrote a letter to the Khan of the Epyra Land Department, Ashina Desire Valley, and handed it over to these Hu soldiers to take back. In the letter, Mr. Gao said:
In the 20th year of Zhenguan, the major pastures of the Tianshan Mountains in Xizhou shrank, the drought was severe and the situation was urgent. Fortunately, the Great Khan planned ahead and built a city by the lake on the top of the mountain to protect the water source. There is a way to be a family on the Silk Road, regardless of each other. In order not to make the Epyra Land Department work and lose money, the prison decided: Send the men and horses of Tingzhou to guard the nearest place and take over the people and horses of the Great Khan to do this drudgery. But please rest assured that as long as there is this supervisor, he will be able to weigh things evenly in the distribution of water, and will never favor one over the other. However, the Governor of the Silk Road implored the Great Khan to leave the 60 Hu craftsmen who had been appointed to build the city by the lake on the top of the mountain, and after the construction of the city was completed, the Governor would reward them generously and send them back to the Epyro Land Division......
Fan Ying asked the second brother, didn't you say that there were only 80 people at the beginning, when did it change so much that it scared 2 or 300 people?
Gao Yu said proudly, it was still those eighty people. But Gao Jun dug out a dark hole behind the grain village, and behind the village was a forest. Our eighty or so people are just bluffing people inside and out, drilling in and out, from the outside of the village, it doesn't look like the real thing!
Gao Yu said with his eyebrows fluttering and spitting stars flying, and he said that through this experience, he learned from his brother that it turned out that fighting is not all about fighting and killing, and there are so many doorways.
He estimated, don't say that he is just a grass merchant, even if it is Shi Wangda, the governor of Ting, and Gao Rang, the envoy of Gu Dong, they must be so impressed by Gao Jun's governor!
"Don't talk about anything else, just say that my brother's white robe, climbing mountains, capturing villages, and building cities, is still clean, how like he has just fought a war! That's what a big battle is all about! ”
Liu Yuru said, "What a big battle, second brother, you should tell me honestly, where did Jun's white robe come from, and where did the robe he originally wear?" ”
Gao Yu told the story of being thrown up by someone over the wall when he was eating in Jiaohe County, saying that Gao Jun's robe was the most dirty, and now this white robe was probably bought by Lilan.
The two said that they would immediately go to Gao Jun to verify and see if the second brother was lying.
Gao Yu smiled and gave them the approximate direction with his finger, and Liu Yuru and Fan Ying rode into the valley to the south.
The valley began as a ravine on the south side of the mountaintop lake, but the further south you go, the steeper the terrain becomes, and the deeper the valley becomes, until at the end the cliffs on both sides look like knives and axes.
And the stone city under masonry that the second brother Gao Yu said is about a mile away from the grain village on the top of the mountain, and it is between the cliffs on both sides, and there is no road on both sides. I have to say that this is a dangerous pass that cannot be opened.
The city was straddled over a stream, and the water flowed under the city and then turned westward, and the culverts under the city were inserted with dense and thick iron bars. The city can accommodate 500 soldiers, and the layout has already been divided by the people of the Yipyro land department, and the hidden soldiers, grain storage, weapons, warehouses, and camps are all available. It's just that the road to the upper town is a bit steep.
Liu Yuru and Fan Ying walked up, looking for the shadow of Gao Jun in all directions, and the craftsmen in the city were busy tinkling, and they were almost at the position of the battlement.
They were looking for people in white robes in the crowd, and when they finally saw each other at the same time, Gao Jun looked very surprised, and jumped over the piles of stones and ran over here.
When Gao Jun approached, Liu Yuru looked at him, seeing that he was not tired in the past few days, but was very energetic, so he asked, "Who got the robe, why is it not the one I found?" ”
He looked up and down again, "Yo-yo! It's a good fit, how did it fit so well. ”
Gao Jun knew that she said this on purpose, but she was not angry, because she could see that although her face was flat, there was a smile in the corners of her eyes and mouth.
Fan Ying also said, "As soon as Sister Liu and I arrived at the Longquan Pavilion, I heard that Master Gao commanded the armies of Xizhou and Tingzhou, and was planning a big battle, and he also occupied a city, and his robes could still be so clean. ”
Liu Yuru said, "Sister, you're wrong, this has nothing to do with the battle, only about people!" Otherwise, why did the tall man stain the robe we were looking for after a meal! ”
Gao Jun knew from their words that the second brother had already said everything.
