"My lord, my lord, a happy event, a great happy event!"

Zhao Erfeng raised his head and was slightly dissatisfied: "All the adults are here, why are they so alarmed?" ”

"My lord, what a happy event, the first team Wang Hengyue, even broke Jiangka, Panxi, and then broke Deden, Fuklado, four consecutive victories, and beheaded the head of the rebel army, Balange!"

"What? Four battles and four victories? In just four days, Lianke four towns? Zhao Erfeng stood up suddenly, looking incredulous.

"Exactly, four battles and four victories, the head of Balange Yuejie is being sent!"

Zhao Erfeng's subordinates on the side stood up one after another and congratulated one after another. Zhao Erfeng was overjoyed: "Quick, send a telegram to the imperial court, my army of Pingzang is like a bamboo, attacking Krasa, and it is just around the corner!" ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly asked, "Where is Wang Hengyue right now?" ”

"Back to the adult, Officer Wang is looking for a guide and is ready to forcibly climb over Danda Mountain!"

"Okay, good Wang Hengyue, this minister didn't misunderstand you!" Overjoyed, Zhao Erfeng suddenly thought: "Where is Shi Fengrong in the second battalion now?" ”

"The stone pipe belt is still two days away from Jiangka."

"Bastard!" Zhao Erfeng was furious: "The striker is already preparing to cross Danda Mountain, and the rear team is still two days away from Jiangka!" Wang Hengyue is sharp and sharp with a lonely army, but Shi Fengrong is slow! Shi Fengrong was strictly ordered to speed up the march, and Ming said that he must reach Jiangka, march quickly, and reinforce Wang Hengyue's troops as soon as possible! ”

Zhao Erfeng was happy and angry, happy that Wang Hengyue's speed far exceeded his imagination; What is angry is that Shi Fengrong, as the main force, is so slow.

New Army! It would be great if there were a few more Wang Hengyue in the new army

"My lord, the guide has been found!"

Wang Hengyue was overjoyed when he heard this: "Please!" ”

The one who came in was a young man, with a strong figure and dark skin, and as soon as he entered the door, he bowed: "Grass people Jia Haoyang participates in the adult." ”

Wang Hengyue was stunned: "Are you Han?" Get up and speak. ”

"Yes!" Jia Haoyang stood up: "The grass people are Han people. In the 59th year of Kangxi's reign, the imperial court soldiers entered Tibet by two routes, north and south, and drove away the Mongolian Dzungar Department that had been entrenched in Lhasa and other places for three years. The general town of Yunnan was also ordered to enter Tibet and led 600 soldiers to the top of Wahe Mountain. Someone in the department suggested that this mountain is famous and weird, and it must not be kept. The general reprimanded him and said: I am from the king's business, and I am not afraid of death, but the ghost is like a ghost! So they set fire and set up camp. It was a heavy snowstorm at night, and the whole army was almost wiped out, and only eight people survived. Later generations felt their loyalty and bravery, and built a shrine at the foot of the mountain. The grass people are descendants of one of the eight survivors. After the ancestors escaped, they did not want to return to the army, so they looked for a settlement here, did not dare to forget their Han identity, took a Han woman as their wife, and their families were all from Han customs! ”

Wang Hengyue nodded slightly: "The officer of this team was also ordered to come to quell the rebellion, and he wanted to cross Danda Mountain, and wanted to use you as a guide, are you willing?" ”

Jia Haoyang's expression changed: "Adults must be cautious!" Danda Mountain is the boundary between Kham and Tibetan areas, and is the only place where the Ancient Tea Horse Road passes from Qamdo to Lhasa. The mountain is steep, rugged and difficult to walk, known as 'the first danger in Tibet'. Especially now that the mountains are covered by heavy snow in winter, the officials, businessmen and tourists who pass by have to risk their lives, and many people are sleeping in the snow-capped mountains. ”

Seeing Wang Hengyue's frowns, Jia Haoyang continued: "Danda Mountain, the Tibetan name is 'Xiagongla', which means 'East Snow Mountain'. Danda Mountain is the only way to enter Tibet. The mountains are steep, the cliffs are empty, the road is on the cliffs, the summer is slippery and difficult to walk, and the winter and spring are ice and snow into the city. Especially in winter and spring, when ice and snow cities are formed, the cold air is cold, the muscles are dazzling, and the slightest breeze will cause ice avalanches and snow collapses. The most terrible thing is that once there is a cold wind, it will be more difficult to breathe, and even suffocate people to death. Passers-by can only be dizzy and dizzy on the path between the ice city to walk carefully with a cane, and if one foot is not careful, they will fall down the mountain and break their bones, so it is called 'the first risk of entering Tibet'. The local Tibetan people have a sad ballad, 'My mind was blank on the snow on the top of the mountain, and I forgot even my loving parents.' Don't blame me for not going on a pilgrimage to Lhasa, it's Shagonla who keeps me from flying over. ’”

Wang Hengyue glanced at his subordinates, and there was a trace of fear in their eyes.

Indeed, there is nothing about life and death on the battlefield, but the power of nature cannot be controlled by manpower!

"So, how did the officials who went to Tibet pass?" Wang Hengyue asked with a frown.

"When the local Tibetans cross the mountain, they have to worship the mountain god devoutly. One of the ways to worship is to go to the mountain to simmer mulberries on a regular basis, and light fragrant trees or powder such as cypress branches in the incense burner, and the smoke that constantly rises into the sky expresses infinite respect for the mountain god. Second, at the top of the mountain or at the mountain pass, there is a well-built mani pile, and a colorful prayer flag should be hung on it during the New Year's Festival. This is one of the most common scenes in Tibet, and even Han drivers crossing mountain passes will hang a hata on this mani pile or prayer pole to pray for a safe journey. Speaking of which, this Danda mountain god is a Han mountain god. ”

Wang Hengyue and his subordinates were very interested, and only heard Jia Haoyang say:

"There is a Yunnan army who was frozen to death when he crossed Danda Mountain, but he retained the demeanor when he was alive, and the locals regarded it as a supernatural and built a shrine to worship, which gave birth to the most famous Han mountain god in Tibet" Danda Mountain God ".

Wang Hengyue suddenly laughed: "The mountain god is still my Han people, what am I afraid of!" Now I am ordered to enter Tibet to quell the rebellion, is it true that the Han mountain god does not bless me, but blesses the rebels? Jia Haoyang, I'll ask you if we can get through! ”

"Yes!" Jia Haoyang's answer was categorical: "If you want to pacify the rebels, the grass people will lead the army over even if they are broken, but you must listen to the grass people along the way!" ”

"Say, we listen to what you say!"

"Before entering the mountain, you must be well prepared, and you must not make loud noises or shout after entering the mountain, otherwise there will be strong winds, thunder and lightning, or wind and snow, avalanche and rock collapse. You can't even spit or blow your nose at will, otherwise your head and feet will hurt at best, and you will die violently! ”

Wang Hengyue nodded slightly, making a loud noise will cause an avalanche, as for the back, it is naturally altitude sickness, but people in this era don't understand, thinking that they have offended the mountain god to cause such a result.

"Okay, whatever you say, we'll promise!" Wang Hengyue said loudly: "Now I appoint you as the guide officer, and the whole team will rest here for a while, ready to climb the mountain!" ”

Ma Xiao whispered: "My lord, Shi Fengrong of the second battalion has not yet arrived, even if we succeed in climbing the mountain, we will be alone, in case Shi Fengrong does not dare to come."

"No in case." Wang Hengyue smiled slightly: "Even if Shi Fengrong really refuses, I still have a chess piece to use!" ”

"Chess pieces?" Ma Xiao didn't quite understand.

Wang Hengyue put away his smile and said in a low voice:

"Yu Lei!"
