Hearing that something happened to his daughter, Xie Yun, who had always been calm, was also confused, raised his feet and rushed out, but Xie Wengshan guessed that it must be Xie Zhiwu who said something to Xie Muyu, glared at him fiercely, and walked out

Xie Weng Ming flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly when he passed by Xie Wengda's side: "Third brother, you did a good thing."

Xie Muyu is not only pretty, but also well-behaved and sensible, in fact, even Xie Wenda likes her very much, if he is not fascinated by the fantasy of being the head of a big family, he would not be able to push his niece and granddaughter into the fire pit, although Xie Wenda does not know what happened to Xie Muyu, but it is definitely not a good thing, if Xie Muyu has all three long and two short, he and Xie Wengshan, Xie Wengming's brother will also do it, Xie Wengda did not expect things to become like this, his expression was stunned, sighed, and walked towards the small attic

In the small attic, Xie Muyu knelt in front of Xie Yun and cried: "Daddy's daughter is not filial and can no longer serve in front of you in the future, and the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha will live this last life."

Her waist-length green silk was now neatly placed in front of the bronze mirror on the dresser

……

The army rested for three days, but the scouts were not idle, they pretended to be farmers and traders and quietly infiltrated the surrounding counties of Xiping, collected local intelligence information, and soon fed back, because the battle to capture Xiping ended too quickly, Feng Xiaoci was not aware at all, and the counties were not prepared at all

After getting this news, Liu Ziqiu suddenly had a bold plan, and he decided to divide his troops into four ways and march together

The first route, Shi Danai led 3,000 nomadic cavalry out of Xihai County, and took Zhangye directly through the Dadou Pull Valley, which was a feint attack, in order to attract the main force of Feng Xiaoci's army stationed in Dunhuang and Wuwei

The second route, Gui Haiqiu, led 5,000 soldiers to capture Douhe County, the territory of Douhe County was slightly smaller than Xiping County, but the troops were much less, but there were only 2,000 people, and there was no cavalry, which was relatively easy to capture, which was just enough to let these soldiers feel the atmosphere of the war without causing large casualties

The third route, Wen Hao, Fan Lihua and his wife led 5,000 standing troops and 2,000 sword and axe men to capture the two counties of Caohan and Jincheng, although these two are small counties, but on the way to Longxi, they also have to pass through two important passes, Imjin Pass and Jincheng Pass, and good steel is used on the blade, so Liu Ziqiu sent the most sharp troops on this way

On the fourth road, Liu Ziqiu personally led 5,000 nomadic cavalry to take Wuwei County and attack Guzang City

Between Xihai County and Zhangye County, there is a stretch of mountains, this is the famous Qilian Mountain, the only passage between the two counties is the Great Dou Ba Valley, the Great Dou Ba Valley divides the Qilian Mountains into two, to the west is called Linsong Mountain, to the east is called the Snow Mountain, the Great Dou Ba Valley is dangerous, the climate is changeable, half a year ago, it has swallowed the lives of countless Sui soldiers, even Yang Guang also died here, and before Yang Guang, there was never a large army through here, it is for this reason that the defense of Zhangye County has always been heavy in the north and light on the south, in the north of Yanzhi Mountain, Ganjun Mountain, There is the Great Wall in the area of Heli Mountain, and the Xiongguan and Jiayu Pass are in the westernmost part of the Great Wall

Because it is a feint, in order to attract Feng Xiaoci's main force, Shi Danai led three thousand nomadic cavalry to set off yesterday, the grassland in August is a lush green, but the peaks on both sides of the big dou tug valley are perennial snow, walking between the two mountains, the wind blows, from time to time there are large pieces of snow falling from the top of the mountain, there is a lesson from the Sui army half a year ago, this time Shi Danai made full preparations, the soldiers are carrying leather jackets, Before leaving, each person drank a big bowl of hot mutton soup, even so, after walking more than two miles in the valley, the biting cold wind still made these young men who had stepped into the harsh winter from autumn to an instant shiver

In order to prevent the loud noise from causing an avalanche, more than 3,000 cavalrymen walked quietly in the long and narrow valley with horses, and many of them were so cold that their faces were bruised, but they only gritted their teeth and persevered, fortunately, the Dadou Tu Valley was only sixteen miles, which was not too long, so the three thousand cavalry still walked for two full hours

Out of the valley outside is another scene, sè Zhangye is surrounded by mountains, the climate is humid, the land is fertile, is the famous granary of Hexi Road, the crops here are also ripe earlier than Xiping, the autumn harvest has begun, because there has never been a foreign invasion here, in the face of the sudden arrival of a large brigade of nomadic cavalry, the people who are working in the fields just look at them blankly, and are busy harvesting the crops again

A cavalry centurion rode up to Shi Danai and bowed down and asked, "Will the general rob it?"

Feng Xiaoci had 30,000 jīng soldiers stationed in Dunhuang, Zhangye, and Wuwei counties, and their task was to attract these 30,000 main forces to Zhangye, but he only had 3,000 men to attack Zhangye City, which was obviously unrealistic, pretending to be a nomadic tribe to attack the border, and attracting other armies to come to the rescue was the best way, which was the same as the method of Jiaoliyan's general Linghu Zhengxing to transfer out of Huangshui

It's just that the current situation is different, Jiao Liyan skillfully uses Shao Dong, and they can only use the people in these fields to deliver news, these cavalry come from nomadic tribes and don't know about farming, while Shi Danai has lived in the Central Plains for a long time, but he knows very well that the crops in the field are ripe and must be harvested in the shortest possible time, otherwise in the rainy weather, these grains will sprout on the branches, and the people's hard work for a year will be lost

"Rob" Shi Danai hesitated for a moment, but still made up his mind, but ordered: "Only rob young boys and girls, don't rob food and property, and don't destroy crops."

This order gave the nomadic cavalry a great headache, but everyone knew how severe Liu Ziqiu was in carrying out the military order, and those who dared to disobey the military order themselves would be beheaded to show the public, and their families would be affected, and they would be driven to barren pastures and slaves, so many strange scenes appeared in the fields

A group of nomadic cavalry gathered in the fields and shouted in stiff Chinese: "Hey, send that baby over, or I will kill your whole family."

Only then did the villagers realize that something was wrong, and they blocked the children behind them and asked, "Who are you who dare to rob men and women in broad daylight?"

The nomadic cavalry did not dare to step into the fields on horseback, so as not to be charged with destroying the crops, so they had to continue to shout: "My king is in a good mood today, and he only robs young boys and girls, not iron pots, and quickly send the dolls over, annoying my king, and snatching you away."

Although these villagers have not suffered from foreign invasion, but Zhangye is also a border county, many of their relatives live in the north of the Great Wall, where they are often invaded by Tiele, Turkic and other tribes, every time they are attacked by the border, the local people will flee south with their families to relatives and friends, and it is inevitable to tell some nomadic tribes to attack the border, so the villagers also know that these nomadic cavalry robbed young men and girls in order to make them slaves, whose children are distressed, and the villagers would rather be slaves themselves, and are reluctant to let the children suffer, and are even more unwilling to submit

The two sides confronted each other in the field, but they only exchanged words and did not see any action, and the villagers were also very puzzled, why these robbers did not rush into the field, and in a blink of an eye, more than half an hour passed, and Shi Danai saw that there was no way to go on like this, so he threw away these villagers, regardless of the army, and went straight to the folk music city not far away

As soon as the nomadic cavalry left, the villagers breathed a sigh of relief, and many people were so frightened that their legs were limp and paralyzed in the fields, and the courage to confront the army just now did not know where to fly to.

In fact, the chief of the village was also in the field just now, but he was well-informed, when the nomadic cavalry came, he smeared oil on the soles of his feet and slipped back to the village, the chief is often the richest and most powerful person in the village, and there is quite a surplus of money at home, he has to hide his belongings in a hurry, and finally packed up and stopped, and sent his wife and children into the cellar, and the courtyard door was knocked openReport to the county seat

But said that the villagers who reported to the county town drove the ox cart and finally arrived at the gate of the city, but saw a large group of people and horses coming out of the city in a chaotic manner, and it was the nomadic cavalry team in the field just now, there were many boys and girls in the middle of the team, obviously these nomadic cavalry had attacked the county town of Minle, and returned with a full load, this surprise was not trivial, but several villagers who came to report the news did not dare to return to the village, and hurriedly went straight to the county seat

Zhangye Taishou Huang Hao listened to the report of the first batch of villagers, thought it was nonsense, and actually beat the villagers out of the government with a stick, he did not know how many times he had experienced a nomadic tribe attack in Zhangye for many years, how could there be such a nomadic tribe that did not move his hands, if it was really a nomadic tribe, I was afraid that these villagers would not even have bones left, but it didn't take long for another group of villagers to come and report that it was those nomadic cavalry who attacked Minle City and robbed many young boys and girls, Huang Hao still didn't believe that he was the most proud thing he did in Zhangye, the most proud thing was to overhaul the beacon tower, if there were nomadic cavalry attacking the county town of Minle, how could he not see the beacon fire here

Another hour passed, and Du Jun personally ran to cry and complained that Minle County was looted by nomadic tribes and robbed of more than 800 boys and girls

Huang Hao was shocked and asked repeatedly: "Where did the nomadic tribe come from, and where did they go?"

Du Jun frowned, thought for a while, and said: "They seem to have gone to the north of the Delete Dan, no, no, they seem to have gone to the west of Nanyu."

Nanyu and Jie Dan are two counties in Zhangye County, one is in the northeast of Zhangye County, and the other is in the southwest of Zhangye County, and the two are far from each other, Huang Hao was unconsciously angry and said: "You should make it clear, where did they go?"

Du Jun said with a bitter face: "Xiaguan was hung on the head of the city, I only saw that some of them were to the north and some were to the west, in short, there were a lot of them, I am afraid that there are tens of thousands of people, and it is possible to rob both Nanyu and Delete Dan, and so on, after robbing the county seat, I am afraid that they will come here, my lord, you should prepare early."
