Li Qing'an ordered He Yanming to lead a hundred men to defend Jialan City, and he led the remaining four hundred people to continue to march eastward through the secret road, and ten days later, Gao Xianzhi's army also arrived in Jialan City.

In the royal palace of Jialan City, Gao Xianzhi was thinking about his next deployment in front of the map, from the Red Buddha Hall Road, he could go straight to Xiao Bolu, but this road was long and difficult, and the logistics of his 10,000 troops could not be solved.

What's more important is that there are nearly 10,000 Tubo troops on the side of Lianyunbao, if they kill back Xiao Bolu and attack Xiao Bolu's Tubo army in the north and south, then the Tang army is in danger! And if you don't take Lianyunbao, it's meaningless to capture Xiaobolu, and more importantly, if you take Lianyunbao, the 10,000 Tubo in the northern valley of Telman will have no way to support, and they will also withdraw to Tubo, killing three birds with one stone!

Thinking of this, Gao Xianzhi used charcoal to punch a cross on Lianyun Fort, or acted according to the original plan, and the troops marched into Lianyunbao in three ways, one route was Shule to capture He Chongyu's three thousand cavalry along the north bank of the Tel Manchuan River to lead three thousand cavalry to march into Lianyun Fort, cut off the connection between Lianyun Fort and the Tubo army of Tel Manchuan, and one route was led by Jia Chongjun, who was transferred to the south of Chifotang Road, to intercept the Tubo army that might retreat south from Lianyun Fort, and he Gao Xianzhi took the middle road and left the Telman River Valley to take the secret road to march to Lianyun Fort.

The next time, the three armies parted ways and went to Lianyunbao to kill.

．．．．．．．

Li Qing'an traveled day and night, and walked for nearly 20 days, in the middle of the night, they finally came to the Bole River, there are still fifty miles away from Lianyunbao, the Bole River is one of the two tributaries of the upper reaches of the Wuhu River, one is the Bomi River, the other is the Bole River, Lianyunbao is close to the middle section of the Bole River.

When the march arrived, Li Qing'an's task was completed, he would wait for the arrival of Gao Xianzhi's main force, and in order not to be discovered by the spies of the Tubo army, the Tang army found a huge cave to hide.

The soldiers were exhausted, and at last they could rest well, and everyone lay down and soon fell asleep, and the cave was quiet, and the soldiers slept soundly, snoring one after another.

Li Qing'an was lying on a sunken rock, under him like a soldier, he also had a military blanket, but he couldn't sleep, the moon rose, and the silver-white clear light shot in from the mouth of the cave and sprinkled on his face, for more than a year, whenever the moon rose, he would think of his previous life, and the memory of his previous life was also very pale, high-intensity military training gave him a strong physique, and the rest was on an archery field, year after year, archery day after year, he didn't even have a mobile phone, Only when he races does he enter the thriving metropolis, but despite this, he misses his old life immensely.

Li Qingan sighed, he gently stroked the long scar on his face, the scar has become his permanent symbol, he seemed to remember something, and took out a small bronze mirror from his pocket, this is what Gao Wu threw to him that night, he thought that the pungent little lady would give him knives and arrows and the like, but he didn't expect it to be a bronze mirror.

Thinking of Wu Niang's strange intentions, Li Qingan couldn't help but feel a burst of warmth, he looked at his face with a bronze mirror in the moonlight, the scar healed very well, almost invisible, most of it was covered by hair, only a short one was pulled out on the forehead, up to the tip of the eyebrows, but this scar did not bring him a hideous feeling, but added a touch of man's coldness to him.

"General!" The low shouts of the sentry came from the entrance of the cave.

"What's the matter?" Li Qingan stood up and walked towards the entrance of the cave.

"It seems that the river has changed."

Li Qingan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly followed the sentry towards the river.

The Bole River became wider in this area, the river was thirty zhang wide, the water was deep and rapid, and the crossable river was extremely narrow, only two miles wide, and the rest of the way, the river flowed close to the cliffs.

If it was Li Qing'an's hundreds of scouts crossing the river, of course it would not be a problem, but Gao Xianzhi's more than 10,000 main forces crossing the river would not be so easy, the key was that it was easy to be discovered by the Tubo spies on the opposite bank, so that the Tubo army would come in time to intercept it.

When Li Qing'an came to the river, he saw that the water level of the river had suddenly dropped greatly, and they went into the river to measure the water level, which was less than three feet deep, and they could almost cross the Bole River on horseback, and the water was at least two feet deep.

"What's going on?"

When he was confused, the sound of rumbling water suddenly came from upstream, and he saw a white line galloping like ten thousand horses.

"The water is rising, run!"

Li Qing'an and a few sentries ran desperately to the shore, and as soon as they climbed ashore, the water roared by, and the water level suddenly returned to its original state.

Li Qingan sat on the ground and scolded: "His grandmother's is so angry that Lao Tzu is full of urine." ”

"General, a stick of incense!" One of the sentries panted, "The water level has only been lowered for a stick of incense, which is strange for some reason." ”

Li Qingan was also puzzled, it was really strange that the water level of this river still changed regularly.

He pondered for a while and said, "We will observe for a few more days, and this secret must not be leaked to other soldiers, if you dare to leak it, I will kill you." ”

Several sentries hurriedly responded: "Don't worry, general, we will never dare to leak it." ”

．．．．．．

Li Qing'an observed for five days in a row, and found that it was really like this every day, and the river water would suddenly drop at the fourth watch, and it would only last for a stick of incense, which was very short.

Three days later, on the eighth day of the seventh month, Gao Xianzhi's main force arrived at Li Qing'an's camp, and due to Li Qing'an's previous exploration, their march was very smooth and they arrived near Lianyunbao on time.

Gao Xianzhi's main force has 8,000 people, and the supervising army Bian Lingcheng also came with the main force, in addition to the 5,000 Tang army, there are also 3,000 coalition troops of the Hidden State and the Protector Country, but after nearly two months of trekking, Bian Lingcheng was also overwhelmed by fatigue and altitude sickness, and fell ill.

As soon as the main force of the Tang army arrived, the cave became a temporary command post, an oil lamp was lit in the cave, the wick shook suddenly, and the dim light was bright and dark, Gao Xianzhi was reviewing the map on a flat boulder, and there were more than a dozen Anxi military academy captains and officers standing behind him.

After a long time, Gao Xianzhi sighed, and said to Li Siye, the captain of Modao: "The difficulty of the expedition to Xiaobolu, the difficulty is in the dangerous mountains and bad waters, how to cross the Bole River is my first worry, I ten thousand people cross the river, how great the momentum is, it will be discovered by the Tubo spies on the other side, let it intercept and kill me halfway, but if there are few troops crossing the water, I am afraid that it is not the opponent of the Tubo people, a dilemma!" ”

"Gao Shuai, it's better to let our Modao army cross the river first, so that we can resist the interception of the Tubo."

Gao Xianzhi shook his head, "Your Mo Sword Army is heavily armored, where is it easy to cross the river." ”

Don't put Xi Yuanqing out of the queue and say, "Gao Shuai, let me cross the river first." ”

"Gao Shuai, let me cross first!" Fan general He Lou Yurun is not far behind.

"Don't fight, you all have to cross the river, everyone crosses together." Li Qing'an, who was standing in the back row, interrupted everyone's dispute with a smile, Gao Xianzhi glanced at him, saw that his eyes were full of confidence, and his heart couldn't help but move, and said: "He is the first scout, there must be something to discover." ”

"Shichiro, what do you suggest?"

Li Qingan stepped forward and said a few words in Gao Xianzhi's ear, Gao Xianzhi was surprised, nodded and smiled at everyone: "Let's go and rest!" Naturally, I have a solution. ”

And all the people talked about it, and they all dispersed.

At the fourth watch, Gao Xianzhi took a few personal soldiers with Li Qing'an to the front of the Bole River, they tied a boulder with a rope and threw it into the river, the boulder was washed out of two zhang at once, it can be seen that the undercurrent below is turbulent, and the river is one zhang and five feet deep, Gao Xianzhi couldn't help frowning, he still didn't believe what Li Qing'an said.

"Look, big handsome!" One soldier cried out in surprise.

Seeing that the river water had changed rapidly, the water level had dropped sharply, and in a moment he could see the big stones on the riverbed, Gao Xianzhi was dumbfounded, and looked at this scene in front of him incredulously.

Suddenly, he knelt down, looked up and said, "O heaven! Is this what you're trying to do to help me succeed? ”

After a stick of incense, the river suddenly swelled, and quickly returned to its original position, Gao Xianzhi laughed proudly, with this heavenly help, why worry about the Tubo army not breaking.

"Gao Shuai, I have a suggestion for this matter." Li Qingan smiled.

Gao Xianzhi already trusted Li Qingan extremely much at this time, and he said without hesitation: "You say! ”

"Marshal, the most important thing in the battle between the two armies is morale, why don't the marshal use this matter to boost the morale of the army?"

Gao Xianzhi nodded, and Li Qing'an's suggestion went to his heart.
