Lop Nur, also known as Puchanghai, was used to test nuclear bombs in later generations, and was the place where rivers in the Tarim Basin, such as the Tarim River, the Peacock River, the Cherchen River, and the Shule River, converged here, forming a huge lake, which led to the prosperity of the ancient kingdom of Loulan and became the center of the Silk Road in the Han Dynasty. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After that, the Tarim River was diverted, and the river water into Lop Nur became less and less, and Loulan died.

Although there is still water in Lop Nur, the area is much smaller and salty, making it difficult to drink, and people only get fresh water from some small haizi (small lakes) in the surrounding area.

Feng Xiaobao didn't have time to express his thoughts on Lop Nur and his feelings, and the cavalry from a distance galloped by, and after sending out the warning arrows, there were also echoes of arrows in the distance.

The cavalrymen wore braided hair and sheepskin vests (with some resistance), some in cowhide armor, and many with cloaks.

Tibetan people!

They invaded the interior of the Western Regions, and they were too lazy to even disguise themselves, so they went into battle shirtless and came with a whistle.

The scouts on both sides shot at each other, but no one hit anyone, and then the Tubo people scattered as birds and beasts, and the prestige that claimed to be able to stand side by side with the Tang Dynasty was gone.

The cavalry of the Tang army pursued, and it was obvious that the Tubo people were waiting for work at ease, and their equestrian skills were also excellent, and the Tang army was just eating dust in the back and could not achieve results.

From the telescope, he saw it clearly, and reluctantly returned the telescope to Feng Xiaobao (Feng Xiaobao said that this is a good treasure of his family, if he is not a big one, I am afraid that the bull spur Shi will have a share in the robbery), the bull thorn Shi pointed out: "Don't be careless, the Tubo people are cunning enough, they often sneak attack, gather crowds and attack, use more tricks, and if you are not careful, you will suffer their big losses." However, forgive them for their brigades to Xizhou, we can fight Yanqi along the Kunqi River (Peacock River), and fight the Tubo people with all the monarchs, showing our Tang Dynasty majesty! ”

The armies responded to the peace, the sound was like a huge thunder, and Feng Xiaobao couldn't help but be proud.

It must be known that the Tubo people robbed me of the four towns of Qiuzi, Khotan, Yanqi and Shule, and forced the Anxi Protectorate to move away. ”

He didn't just say it, let alone say it and didn't do it, but divided his subordinates into two parts, and he personally led five hundred cavalry, together with Feng Xiaobao's troops, to march in the form of light cavalry!

The other 400 riders escorted the baggage to continue to respond.

Feng Xiaobao's admiration for civil officials is like a surging river, he has more contact with the history of the cow thorn from the jinshi, and knows that he only knows a little about archery, and he makes a show with a sword, and he can't kill a Tubo person, but he is ambitious, and he also knows the soldiers, just as Feng Xiaobao expressed his admiration for the history of the ox thorn, he laughed and said: "Come on, I blushed when I said it, in fact, I was afraid, there are Tubo people in Xizhou, and if I go there, I will rush to 2,000 Tubo people, and my belongings will be gone." I might as well attack Yanqi directly, fight if I win, and slip away if I can't win, anyway, I did send troops to rescue Xizhou. ”

Dude, you're frank enough!

The Tang army's 600 light cavalry rushed forward not to cover, and the Tubo people along the road hugged their heads and ran away, and they avoided one after another, and some of them fled slowly, that is, they caught up with the Tang army and shot them to death with an arrow!

It is more beneficial to avoid the other party from destroying the water source, otherwise it is disgusting enough to and pee or poison the water source, but even if it is destroyed, you have to find a way to clean it up and eat it, after all, you have no way to find a second water source!

The river water cannot be destroyed, in addition to providing a water source, it also gives us the opportunity to enjoy the scenery, so that the journey is not so lonely.

The water flow of the Kunqi River is not large, but it is still a river!

There are water, fish, aquatic plants, patches of green grass and dense reeds, the wind blows refreshingly and pleasantly, and the scenery is pleasing to the eyes of people who are used to seeing the monotonous scenery of the desert.

Privately, Niu Thorn Shi and Sima Xu Ke in the army discussed: "That Xiaobao's cavalry is good, but he has the spirit of a young master, every time he camps, he always collects dead trees, reeds and other things to set fire to boil water and cook, they drink boiled water and like to eat hot food, the pressure on logistics is not small, you can remind them when you have time, soldiers must not be pampered, they must be strict!" ”

It seems that Niu Thorn Shi is a person with a heart, and when he saw that Feng Xiaobao's army was free, he was busy looking for fuel to boil water for cooking, so he criticized it.

"Oh, I know a little bit about that!" Xu Ke said: "Back to the envoy, they boil water, it is customized by their army, it is said that drinking raw water is easy to diarrhea and diarrhea, and what parasites will grow, anyway, it will be bad for the body!" ”

"In particular, drinking boiled water and eating hot food in the morning is also a way to maintain health.

"And they like hot food, their food is really good!" Before Sima Xu Ke's words fell, Feng Xiaobao's voice came from outside the big tent of the assassin Shi and said, "Make Jun Ke?" Little Treasure is here to offer grilled fish! ”

The fragrant grilled fish was taught by Feng Xiaobao, and the Xinjiang grilled fish method was used.

Use a branch (red willow wicker) to wear the fish and bake it around the fire, when the fish is roasted to seven or eight minutes cooked, then sprinkle salt and spices on the fish, spices are cumin brought by Hu Shang, so that the fish is more flavorful, eat full of fragrant, people can't stop, bite after bite, quickly eat up, still unfinished, and then go into one!

Niu Thorn Shi Lian ate two and a half big fish, leaving half for Xu Ke, who was blind.

The latter disregarded etiquette and killed the fish in two bites!

"Xiaobao, you enjoy it so much, your military chef is good!" The history of the cow thorn seems to be authentic outside the strings.

"That's the chef invited by Luoyang, sign a contract, serve in the army for three years, you can teach some apprentices, if you don't give up!" Feng Xiaobao explained.

"Cough, what am I going to give up, it's good to have something to eat, I'll send some people to study in your army, come back and make food for me, you are not a civil official, but your speech is wrinkled, I am a civilian official, much stronger than you!" Ox Thorn Shi waved his hand.

That's right, make Jun Dada, you can all make a cameo appearance as a butcher!

Shi Shi, who was satisfied with the beef thorns, agreed with Feng Xiaobao to send a few people to Tonghuang County to learn cooking skills after returning home, and he felt that Feng Xiaoding was so undrunk and loved food.

……

The Guazhou cavalry rushed along the way, and the Tubo people jumped and jumped, but they didn't expect the Tang army to advance so quickly and hurriedly mobilize the army, but most of them went to Xizhou, and it was difficult to intercept and kill on the way, so it really gave the Tang army to enter outside Yanqi City!

There are also some towns and towns in Yanqi, some of them are closed and some are open, the Tang army is not too much, those who open the door will send some small people to supply at most, and those who do not open the door will not blame, and they will pass by.

Yanqi, is one of the four towns of Anxi Duhufu, also known as Wuyi, Ajini, the ancient country of the Tarim Basin in Xinjiang, out of the hometown of Gaochang, its city is seven miles on Saturday, it is not small, the southwest is based on the mountain, the road is dangerous and easy to keep, its spring flow is stagnant, the water is diverted to the field, and it is quite producible.

The Tang army fought under the city gate, and the pride of the Tubo people made them go out of the city to fight, and finally gathered 800 cavalry to meet the Tang army.

Although there were less than 200 people, the Tang army attacked brazenly! (To be continued.) )
