Coming out of the Jiucheng Palace, it will take about ten days to reach the garrison of Duan Zhixuan, the chief of the Saikaido Governor, at the speed of a rapid march. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but due to the collection of military posture and escort along the way, a lot of time was wasted, and it took seventeen days to arrive.

When we set off, Chang'an City was still in the sun. When you get here, you need to put on a thick leather jacket in the morning and evening.

There was a slaughtering area between heaven and earth, the grassland had long been yellowed, and the trees on the mountain had lost their leaves and stood there bare.

When Duan Zan saw Duan Zhixuan, the father and son hugged and cried, and Duan Zhixuan, who was originally only in his early forties, actually had white temples.

"My son, you've worked hard." Duan Zhixuan choked up a little, the reinforcements he was looking forward to had arrived, but they were much less than expected.

"Father, it's not hard. This is the eldest grandson of Xinfenghou, and this is the eldest grandson Xu. Duan Zan introduced.

"Thank you, the eldest grandson's great favor this time can only wait until the war is over." Duan Zhixuan hugged his fist towards the eldest grandson.

Originally, as a hero of the Tang Dynasty, plus the title and position are higher than the eldest grandson, Duan Zhixuan does not need to deliberately return the gift, but at this very moment, thousands of miles to send goose feathers, this love needs to be recorded.

"Father, how is the situation in the barracks at this time?" Duan Zan asked in a deep voice.

This entered the Chinese army's account from the camp gate, and it felt very bad for Duan Zan along the way.

Even the eldest grandson Xu, who was born in the government soldiers, saw some clues.

Although there are still procedures that should be in place, the sentinel found them three miles away, scouts, scouts, open and dark sentry, etc., and the guards on the wall are also done according to the requirements, but they always feel that something is missing.

If Su Dingfang was there, it could be seen at a glance that this army, which did not have too many casualties, lacked the spirit that the Tang army should have, that is to say, the morale of this army was very low, and it was only limited to the sense of honor of the soldiers, so there was no large-scale escape.

"Hey, let's not talk about it, let the eldest grandson rest for a while, we are going to pick up the wind and wash the dust, and talk about these things slowly." Duan Zhixuan has scruples, and there are some things that cannot be said directly.

"That grandfather, I'll go down first." The eldest grandson hugged his fists, and the eldest grandson Xu naturally looked forward to the eldest grandson's horse.

"Duan Ming, send Hou Ye to the side to rest."

"Father, is the situation getting this bad?" Duan Zhan waited for the eldest grandson to leave before asking.

"It's worse than you think." Duan Zhixuan shook his head.

"But I see that the morale of the army is a little low, and there is basically no big loss, which shows that Tuyuhun is not so powerful, why is my father so sad?" Duan Zan was a little puzzled.

"You don't know, this place is hell for my Datang soldiers. Duan Ming, tell the young master. At this time, Duan Ming had already arranged for the eldest grandson and the others and re-entered the big tent.

"Young master, that's the case, taking me as an example, in Chang'an City, I can easily lift a stone hammer of two hundred catties, but when I get here, it's good to be able to lift one hundred and fifty catties, so I have to blush." Duan Ming said.

"Why? But what spell did this Tuyuhun people use that couldn't work? Duan Zhan's face immediately changed, if this was the case, this time the conquest would be troublesome, and it would be a little reckless to come by himself.

"I don't know why, some soldiers have been here and said that this is called miasma, Tuyuhun people don't have this phenomenon at all, and what's more serious is that even the food here can't be cooked well, and many people have diarrhea after eating." Duan Ming said truthfully.

"Is this really the Cursed Lands?" Duan Zhan's face turned a little pale.

"The young master is a little reckless when he comes, the old master's letter to the young master tells the young master to find a way, but don't come in person, that's the reason, who knows that the young master is still here." There was a complaint in Duan Ming's tone, but there were some other emotions.

"Don't talk about this, maybe this is the fate of my Duan family." Duan Zhixuan received that when he saw Duan Zan personally arrive with the baggage, there were many emotions, but they were all useless.

"I wonder what the young master brought with him this time?" Duan Ming asked.

"I came in a hurry this time, and Chang'an is a long way, all of which were raised from Qinzhou and Lanzhou, and I couldn't fully meet my father's requirements, but I can still solve my urgent needs." This time, the main thing that can be raised is grain and grass, and there are some arrows lost, but the number is not much.

"That's good, that's good, it's estimated that Chang'an will gradually transport some later." Duan Ming said.

"It may not work in a short time, the fangs have rebelled, Zhang Shigui went to quell the rebellion, there have been wars everywhere in the past few years, and the stored materials are still not enough." Duan Zan said.

"Okay, let's not talk about it. Fight tiger brothers, go into battle father and son soldiers, since you are here, we can find a way to explain this war. Duan Zhixuan's heart now felt a sense of powerlessness

"Yes, Father. Tuyuhun's two-faced and capricious style is not far from extinction. Duan Zan said.

"Zhan'er, on the battlefield, it's only about winning or losing, no matter what we do, if I lose, we are sinners, if Tuyuhun loses, what awaits them is the destruction of the country, this is war." Duan Zhixuan felt that his eldest son had learned some things in the Guozijian over the years, but the things on the battlefield should be left to the soldiers to solve with their fists.

"The child has been taught." Duan Zan knew that this was the reason that his father gave him to settle down.

"Don't talk about these, we have to remember the kindness of the eldest grandson Wuji's family, the icing on the cake is easy, and it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow, no matter what, we must remember their affection. Duan Ming, you are responsible for selecting some close protection from my pro-military camp to protect Changsun Xu, although it is a concubine, but we can't let them stay on this battlefield that does not belong to them, this Changsun Xu is a soldier, and the horse leather shroud should be his fate, so there is no need to deliberately arrange it. Duan Zhixuan knew the importance of this, and instructed Duan Ming.

"Well, I'll do it." Duan Ming received the order.

"Don't worry, just finish this thing in two or three days. Wait for the reception banquet, you can arrange the attendees. Duan Ming went out.

"Zan Er, let's go and see how this reception banquet is being prepared."

"Yes, father." The father and son went out of the big tent one after the other.

As soon as he came out of the big tent, Duan Chan tightened his clothes, but he didn't expect that it was already so cold before sunset.

The sun was already setting in the west, and the blue sky was as blue as a wash.

The grassland in the distance has been a little yellow, the gently undulating hills extend into the distance, the boundary between heaven and earth is not so clear, and sometimes you really can't tell where is the grassland and where is the sky...... (To be continued.) )
