Every day, I hurried every day, and I was worried about Ma Lan, this girl was already physically and mentally exhausted, and at this moment, she was leaning on Ma Lan's shoulder, and her heart was extremely relieved, and she fell asleep for a long time.

Ma Xuan hugged Gao Qianqian, trying to make her sleep more comfortable, thinking about what to do next, but there was no trace of sleepiness.

Michelle has arrived in Chang'an City, and they can already contact each other through falcons, and now he has received two copies of the news from Chang'an City. The first piece of information was nothing special, saying that she had arrived in Chang'an and that the communication base had been established. The second piece of information is about the reception of Chang'an in Beijing, and the other is the edict issued by Li Longji, the prince of the prison state, ordering the troops of the Northern Expedition to return to the station, and Ma Lan and other lords will enter Beijing to discuss rewards.

These are the only two pieces of information that have been received for the time being, although there may be new information that is still in the process of being transmitted. Now the messenger sent by the prince is still on the way, and he has already received the news in advance.

From the analysis of intelligence, the news that Li Longji was not in Chang'an could not be hidden, so Li Heng did not continue to conceal it, although it was not explicitly stated in the edict, but Xianjie did not directly reward him, and in the name of the prince of the prison country instead of the name of the Son of Heaven to recruit all the main generals into the court, this is actually showing everything.

The major event of the Northern Expedition has been completed, and the generals have been recruited into the court to discuss rewards...... This may seem like a perfectly normal thing, but the meaning is obvious. What awaits the generals after entering the dynasty is actually very clear.

But he doesn't care, to be honest, such a method is a bit pediatric, he doesn't pay attention to it. It's only 756 years now, and it's still early before Li Longji died. Nothing is ready yet. He also didn't plan to be because of Li Heng's edict for the time being. Just give up everything in Anthy.

The foundation has not been laid yet, and the foundation of Datang in the river is not yet solid, if he leaves Anxi at this time, once the cannibal makes a comeback, all the previous efforts will be in vain.

So no matter whether Li Heng is a conspiracy or a conspiracy, he is doomed to fail. For the time being, the affairs of Anxi cannot be entrusted to others, and he still has to work hard for several years in order for the people of the Han family to permanently occupy the land in the river.

At least it had to work hard until the time when Li Longji died in the original history. Ma Lan said in his heart.

Gao Qianqian leaned on his shoulder, her slightly frowning brows slowly relaxed, her breathing was long and even, and she looked extremely relieved. In the past few years, she has worked hard in Qiuzi, and little by little she has made the Ma family workshop grow and support the military needs of the entire Anxi Army. Ma Lan looked at the girl's beautiful face, with infinite pity in her heart, and couldn't help but bow her head and kiss the girl's moist lips gently.

Gao Qianqian snorted. Gently opened his eyes and glanced at Ma Lan, then closed his eyes again. It seemed that he was still asleep, but his fair little face turned red.

Under the light, she was really as beautiful as jade, and Ma Lan held this slightly shy girl, and her heart was a lot calmer for a while.

No matter what you do, after all, there will still be someone who will always be on your side, and without the slightest selfishness, such as Gao Qianqian, such as ...... Others.

Rising early in the morning, the army rose from camp and headed in the direction of Tingzhou. The nomadic place of the Shatuo people is the grassland area at the foot of the Jinshan Mountains, and the so-called Jungar Basin in later generations is separated from Tingzhou. However, for the Anxi New Army, this is actually nothing, but it is just passing through the eastern section of the Gobi, in fact, the distance is not far, the middle of the river is also dominated by desert, only a few large rivers have a large area of oases, walking the desert Gobi is really a common thing for the Anxi Army.

After passing the Gobi, it is not far from Tingzhou, only a few hundred miles away. When he arrived here, Ma Lu still avoided the avenue, anyway, the grassland was passable everywhere, and the army was still constantly changing horses and galloping in the direction of Tingzhou. To outsiders, this does not look like an army of class divisions, but like a thousand miles of attack.

But it can indeed be said to be a rush.

When it was not far from Tingzhou, Ma Ling gave an order, and the army got off their horses to rest and quickly ate some food. Ma Xuan saw Hun Yang in front of him, looked at the Tiele boy and said, "Just ahead, are you not mistaken?" ”

"Ma Xiang, you can't be wrong." Tiele said as a young man.

Ma Lan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll lead the way later." ”

Duan Xiushi was a little confused, so when he saw that the young man Tiele got on the war horse, galloped in front of everyone, and frowned: "General, why is this?" What is the origin of this brute? Is there going to be a war? ”

Ma Lan smiled: "Chenggong don't ask, I'll know later." ”

Hun Xuan's arrival in Mobei, because he arrived almost at the same time as the second general Gao Gu, Ma Xuan didn't tell Duan Xiushi at all, and Duan Junzi didn't know who Hun Xuan was. This time, the class teacher's route was weird, Duan Xiushi had questions in his stomach, and he asked Ma Lan many times, but Ma Lan didn't tell him.

This time it was like this again, Duan Junzi couldn't help but feel depressed, but after all, Ma Ling was the main general, and he couldn't say too much.

In Ma Luan's opinion, this is just a trivial matter, and the primary target this time is naturally the high-level of those Persian temples hiding in Tingzhou, but those Persian warriors hidden outside the city, since they happen to be on the way, naturally they can't be allowed to live anymore. It's just a sweep along the way, and it doesn't take much time.

The soldiers ate some dried meat, drank some water, and carefully arranged their equipment, and the army remounted their horses, and with the young man of Natiele as the lead, they began to gallop forward again. 10,000 iron horsemen swept away hundreds of Persian warriors, it was completely just a knife to kill chickens, and it was not a big deal at all. However, although it was a trivial matter, Ma Lan had also made preparations before, for example, there was no large-scale release of scouts in the past two days, in order not to disturb those guys.

Hun Ying rode his horse to the front, carefully identifying the surroundings, it has been a few months since he killed those Persians and turned to Mobei, such as today the grassland at the northern foot of the mountain is in the middle of summer, the scenery is completely different, but the outline of the terrain is still there, he has been famous for several years as a teenager, which is naturally difficult for him.

On that day, he was sent out of Tingzhou City by two lieutenants who colluded with the Persians, and then met hundreds of Persians in that valley, and then took a few Persians to Chang'an, and the Persian warriors in that valley were the target of the army.

It didn't take long for the valley to come into view, and from the outside it looked like an ordinary valley with a few shepherds and some cattle and sheep, not unlike the usual valleys in this area.

Seeing Hun Xuan stop, Ma Xuan also stopped, waved his hand, and the three thousand athletes rushed out and rushed into the valley.

The valley is not big, and it can't accommodate too many soldiers and horses. The dispatch of 3,000 people has already given enough face to the Persians.

Ma Lan squinted at the high place at the mouth of the valley, and watched a few herdsmen in the valley hurriedly dodge, and the army rushed over like a tide, and several herdsmen disappeared without a trace, and soon the army disappeared at the bend of the valley, and then the shouts of killing rang out.

The sound of the crossbow strings of the Yuan Rong crossbow suddenly sounded, and it could still be heard faintly from a long distance, and then the shouts of the Persians suddenly subsided considerably, followed by the sound of fire and thunder explosions.

It didn't take long for the soldiers to come out of the valley, and the generals led by them reported to Ma Lu that there were no living people inside, and that there were probably more than 400 Persian warriors who had been killed.

The number of people is two or three hundred less than what Hun Yang said before, but this is nothing, these people always have to do something, and it is impossible to stay in the valley and wait for someone to kill, so it is actually normal for the number to be different.

The whole operation probably took a quarter of an hour, and the Anxi army was unscathed as usual, and after the three thousand people returned, the army continued to gallop in the direction of Tingzhou, directly increasing the speed to the extreme.

It was only twenty or thirty miles away from Tingzhou, and there was no need to hide their tracks at this time, and this distance was really nothing to the cavalry.

Several Anxi agents who participated in the battle just now rushed up and reported to Ma Lan with a happy face, saying that they had obtained several cages of falcons, including dozens. Ma Ling smiled and nodded, Hai Dongqing can be used by his own family, and the more this thing is, the better. He didn't understand the details, but these eagle slaves did.

Tingzhou City is just a small city of several miles, which is the seat of Jinman County and Tingzhou Prefecture, and it is also the rear base of this northern expedition. Every day, the caravans are endless, and the armor of the Han Navy soldiers on the city is bright.

It was also an ordinary day, and it didn't seem to be any different. The soldiers at the bottom didn't know that a big change had happened in Tingzhou City, and they looked lazy standing on the city wall. Suddenly, there was a faint sound of horses' hooves in the distance, which startled everyone.

As far as the eye could see, a large army suddenly galloped over on the horizon, and a cavalry under the pressure of black crushed at high speed, I don't know how many people there were. The soldiers on the city wall were startled, and hurriedly ordered the city gate to be closed, and for a time there was chaos inside and outside the city, and many merchants outside the city wanted to squeeze into the city, and the soldiers inside the city gate took knives and cut them, barely blocking these people outside, and then directly closed the city gate.

At this time, those cavalry approached, a large piece of bright light armor was dazzling, and the Chinese army could see a handsome flag with a big horse character written on it. After seeing this, everyone knew that it was a false alarm.

"The General is back! The general is back! The Han Navy soldiers cheered loudly and hurriedly opened the city gate again.

Looking at the approaching army, the Han Navy soldiers cheered loudly. After the army galloped near the city wall, the new army soldiers also greeted the robes on the city wall loudly.

Ma Xuan rode his horse to the front, and also smiled and waved his hand to the people on the city wall. When he arrived at this place, looking at the smiling faces of these Beiting soldiers, he also felt like home.

Then he gave the order, and the 10,000 cavalry quickly separated, divided to the four city walls, and surrounded the small city of Tingzhou.

"General...... Why is that? Duan Xiushi furrowed his brows and looked confused.

"Chenggong, this wall has been handed over to you, and no one is allowed to release it." Ma Lan smiled slightly, and a trace of murderous intent appeared in his eyes. (To be continued......)
