The battalion of the Tang Army was boiling the next day, and every soldier received an order to be ready for standby, of course, whether to continue to move forward or pack up and return to the division, there was no conclusion for a while.

Until the soldiers and horses of Beiting, who had just arrived for less than a day, lined up in the camp one after another.

The two armies have too many origins, especially in Feng Changqing's army, seventy percent of them were brought by Wang Zhengjian from Beiting last year, and the Han Navy, which is the main force of Beiting, occupies more than half of the town, and this cavalry army, which is as high as 4,002 people, is the main force in the main force, and the minimum service period is more than three years.

Cavalry is not achieved overnight, and it requires long-term training to achieve the most basic condition, that is, to be skilled in arching horses.

Therefore, this cavalry army composed of most of the old soldiers has an extraordinary arrogance, and the northern horses under the crotch, each of which comes from the pasture at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, are tall and mighty, at least from the appearance, giving people a very shocking visual impact.

Wang Weiliang, the deputy envoy of the Han Navy, is the commander of this cavalry army, as the former Dadu Protector Wang Zhengjian's fellow clan, he is naturally relying on his confidants, and now although he has changed his boss, he can gain a firm foothold in the North Garden, and he must have the support of these old people.

He Gao Ju immediately looked around, and snorted with some dissatisfaction: "What about Liu Ji's kid?" ”

Where do you know, just about to send someone to find it, the main master Shi Shiran appeared.

"Deputy Envoy Wang." Liu Ji arched his hand at him, and the latter's face sank suddenly, although this title is accurate, it doesn't have much respect, if it is Feng Changqing's identity, he is a small military master, or under the Beiting system, how dare he be so lazy.

"I'm waiting for you." Wang Weiliang suppressed the fire, this place is the territory of the Anxi Army, it should not be too out of line, and there is an opportunity to wait for the road.

"The deputy envoy of the good sect knows that from here to Gongtang City, you have to pass through the place of the Zhangxiong people, and a certain family needs to take the first step, greet them, lead the way, such a small thing, there are subordinates of a certain person, the deputy envoy can rest assured, they have all walked through several times, and will never let you get lost in the wasteland."

These words, suddenly blocked Wang Weiliang's anger into his stomach, he couldn't attack, the road ahead was boundless, it all relied on a guide who was familiar with geography, once they made something bad, it was really nowhere to cry, there was no water source and no food, it only took a day or two of effort, he would die of thirst and starvation, this threat was more real than anything else, how dare he not believe it.

"Then there will be labor." Wang Weiliang squeezed out a smile, looking like his muscles were stirring, twisting and twisting, extremely reluctantly.

Liu Ji didn't care about waving his hand, turned around and left, leaving only a sergeant as a guide, and left the camp with Du Guli, Chen Jin and others.

Their target is the capital of the Elephant Male in front of them, the Qionglong Silver City.

The majestic city built on the mountain is like a large peng spreading its wings, leaping and flying, the city wall is full of people, even the surrounding mountainside, is also crowded, I don't know how many people gather here.

Rao is well-informed Liu Ji also heartbeat, such a great appeal, by no means overnight, the mysterious tomb keeper, the effort, I am afraid that not only these ten years, from these crowds through the past, in their faces, see a fanatical power, although the clothes are covered and the food is not enough, but still the eyes are firm, not afraid.

After receiving the news, it was the man named "Little Five" who came to greet them, and before entering the city, Liu Ji asked curiously.

"So many people, is there enough to eat?"

Xiao Wu explained while leading the way: "This is the capital of the Zhangxiong people, it has been in business for thousands of years, and the accumulation of money in the city plus the plundering of those big households, there is no problem to eat for a year, and when the situation is stable, give them those pastures and fields, and they can't raise anything." ”

This is the truth, Liu Ji nodded silently, the redistribution of wealth can greatly meet everyone's expectations, the reason why he asked this is because the army of the Tang people is about to pass, and if the supply of grain and grass can be solved here, it will be better.

All the Tibetan tribes on the road ahead were swept away by them, and only when they arrived in Gongtang City could they get supplies, after all, there were two or three days away, and it was impossible to go hungry.

As he spoke, they had entered the city from the mountain road, and the scene in the city was the same as when he arrived, and the guards at the city gate were still local defenders in old-fashioned armor, and it seemed that these people had taken refuge in the new master, and it was natural for them to change roles.

As a large city with a thousand-year-old weather, its steepness and the strength of the defenders determine that it is difficult to fight a surprise battle like Gongtang, if it is not for such a change, the Tang people are afraid that they will have the same idea as Zhang Boji, and conduct peace talks on the current line of control.

Zhangxiong can't hold it, the nun country will be difficult to protect, he has spent so much effort, all will be in vain, although the result is not ideal, but at least to get a favorable opportunity, when Liu Ji came to the palace with confidence, saw the same countless people.

"Tara!"

These men were all barefoot, and their hands were folded and they were prostrate on the ground, shouting a neat name that made him a little strange, and always felt that something was not right.

The palace of the Zhangzhung people is a stone building, with a square shape and no intricate decorations, and the four walls of the house are covered with frescoes, which look like some ancient legends, perhaps, record the history of this kingdom.

These exquisite murals have not been handed down to the world, Liu Ji walks in them, as if he is watching a museum, and every step is precious.

"They are made by the Tianzhu people, and they are the best local painters."

Hearing the voice, Liu Ji turned his head, looked at the woman who was gradually approaching, and stroked his chest and saluted: "What should I call you, Queen?" ”

Zeng Jiuniang said with a smile: "I still like you to call me Jiu Niangzi." ”

"Then I'll be disrespectful." Liu Ji stood up straight and sighed: "I didn't expect you to have such a big influence." ”

"That's not mine." Zeng Jiuniang stood side by side with him, pointed to the seat in front of him and said, "Do you see there, the king of the Xiangxiong people has been passed down for hundreds of generations, and now it is just a pile of old and decayed wood." ”

"If a man's life is so short, if he disappears silently, then why did he come to this world?"

Liu Ji was stunned when he listened, chicken soup such as life philosophy has become a joke on WeChat in later generations, listening to tears, in fact, he forgot later, the modern rhythm of life makes people unable to stop at all and think about the meaning of life.

He was also confused about what was the meaning of coming here?

"I think the answer to this question may not come to my senses until the moment I close my eyes."

Liu Ji's words made her stop, and her eyes were full of doubts: "Gorou, what kind of person are you, why do you get closer to it, the more you can't understand it?" ”

"It's just a layman, happy when you see the color, smell the fragrance and move, and only you can think of people so complicated."

Zeng Jiuniang shook her head: "I don't believe it." ”

Liu Ji looked at her and said word by word: "Whether you believe it or not, he is there, now what I need is your help, the Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses are about to cross, can the city provide them with food, grass and water?" ”

"Really?" Zeng Jiuniang was overjoyed: "No problem, I can also mobilize manpower to fight with you, they are familiar with the terrain and will definitely be able to help." ”

"People are wanted, but not to fight."

Liu Ji's words surprised her, and she was a little confused.
