No one can give Yun Ye a definite answer, the long journey has caused the news to be slow, in order to find out what the situation is in Broken Leaf City, Talas City, and Almaty, Hei Feng, as the leader of the caravan, took Xiao Miao, Qu Zhuo, and Dog on the long westward journey.

Along the way, Qu Zhuo would teach the dog and Xiao Miao how to speak the Western Regions with their tongues curled, and the hair of the three people would also be dyed flaxen by the secret medicine in Yuan Shoucheng's hand, and Yun Ye very much hoped that they could bring useful information.

Di Renjie also left, he was driven away by Yun Ye, Cheng Chumo was drunk and had to take his sergeants to escort Di Renjie and Mr. Jin Zhu back, Xu Jingzong was extremely eager to go home, but he was arrogantly appointed by Yun Ye to become the long history of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate.

Loulan couldn't stay, so she had to set off to Tingzhou immediately to pick up those civil officials, and later things changed, and the baggage team was left behind by Xu Jingzong, and he personally took 20,000 cavalry to prepare for a trip to Beiting.

The soldiers were fast, Yun Ye abandoned the things that hindered the journey, and began to drive towards Gaochang non-stop, the eight-ox crossbow was disassembled and put on the horse's back, and the gunpowder was also divided into small bags and packed in the horse bag, without the isolation of the waterwheel, Yun Ye did not have the slightest confidence in the safety of the gunpowder he made.

The desert sun in July is like fire, Yun Ye does not dare to march during the day, he can only walk quickly in the evening and early morning, whenever the sun rises, the desert becomes a Jedi, and the rising water vapor will interfere with the vision, and the appearance of mirages in some low-lying places has made the sergeants numb, and there is no longer the surprise when they first met.

After passing through the basin, the Tien Shan Mountains are already clearly recognizable. Here Yun Ye must stop and prepare to cross the Tiangu Valley, and Jiaohe, Gaochang has the governance of the Tang Dynasty, which is the newly assigned territory to Yun Ye. What's more, this is the location of the former Anxi Protectorate, many civil officials and their families live here, and now Guo Xiaoke is far away in Qiuzi to establish a new office, ambitiously want to expand the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate thousands of miles, simply think that this is already a familiar land, it doesn't take much manpower. With only a thousand garrisons and a large number of servants, he didn't know that the situation in the entire Western Regions had become more complicated, like a pot of boiling water, and if one was not properly handled, it would immediately overturn.

If it was Li Ji, he would definitely not care about the life and death of these people, and would only use these people to achieve his own combat goals.

Yun Ye thought about it for countless nights and found that he still couldn't do it, and he encountered a total of three horse thieves on the march. All of them were defeated by Yun Ye, and it was almost an impossible task to encircle and annihilate the horse thieves in the vast desert Gobi.

On the Gobi, a group of three hundred horse thieves is already a large group of horse thieves, and each of the three horse thieves that Yun Ye encountered exceeded eight hundred, which happened to be a Moha of Xue Yantuo, and Fan Hong also reported to Yun Ye after the interrogation that these people were indeed the army of Xue Yantuo. They were looting supplies everywhere in preparation for their westward journey.

Jiaohe. After receiving the order, the officials of Gaochang came to the camp, and before they could speak, they were already in tears.

"General, humble in Gaochang, can be described as three shocks a day, since Su Shuai returned to the east, Guo Shuai went west. Gaochang has become a world of horse thieves, who either roar in the wilderness or plunder in the villages, and have dug three feet down the land of Gaochang, ready to deal with the approaching horse thieves at any time. A thousand soldiers are tired of running for their lives, two or three out of ten of them are lost in battle, the servant army is humble and prevaricated, like a tiger internally, cowardly like a lamb externally, and naturally does not dare to escape from the battle. ”

Gaochang stayed behind Tian Yuanyi Yunye knew, he was Hou Junji's staff in his early years, after Hou Junji broke through Gaochang, he appointed Tian Yuanyi to stay in Gaochang, after Hou Junji rebelled, he became an embarrassing figure, fortunately far away in Gaochang, Hou Junji did not notify him when he rebelled, and he did not respond, so he can continue to be an official here.

"The eagle flies in the sky, the pheasant scurries in the penny, the cat swims in the hall, the rat is in the hole, each has its own place, isn't it alive" This is Ju Wentai's answer to His Majesty, since their kings think so, the thoughts of the people in Gaochang can be imagined, I leave five thousand fine horsemen here, guard the Jiaohe, Gaochang, the subordinates who are not subordinate, in a short time, must exterminate all the horse thieves in the territory, and restore the governance of Gaochang and Jiaohe.

Since those servant army dare to disobey the yin and yang, they will deal with it with a heavy hand, the people here are afraid of power and not virtue, and the troubled times should be used to re-enforce the law, since the servant army has violated the military order, then disband the servant army, and all the officers above the team will be punished on the spot, and the eleventh whip order will be implemented among the soldiers, and the top priority now is to completely let Gaochang settle down, as for the hearts of the people, we have never gotten it, so it is not worth losing. Yun Ye slammed his fist on the desk.

Tian Yuanyi was overjoyed when he heard this, and took five thousand cavalry to deal with the government affairs of Gaochang Jiaohe after taking the arrow from Yun Ye's hand, the grievances he had suffered in the past few years disappeared the moment he got the arrow, Yun Ye took up the position of the protector of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, and for him it was a nectar that could make him reborn, so his orders to Yun Ye would definitely be carried out to the end, when it came to killing, Hou Junji was a murderous demon king, and now Yun Ye was still following Hou Junji's old path, Tian Yuanyi smelled the same smell from the middle, and followed the new Shangguan, Maybe it's more enjoyable than following Hou Shuai.

Yun Ye stayed in Jiaohe for three days, and when Tian Yuanyi came back to pay the order, Yun Ye seemed to be able to smell the blood on his body.

"Decapitation?"

"One thousand six hundred and forty-three!" Tian Yuanyi's casual report made the generals in the military tent gasp, no one thought that this seemingly polite civilian official would kill people so ruthlessly.

"There's a riot?" Yun Ye was stunned for a moment, even if there was an eleven killing order, a team of five thousand people would not be able to kill these people.

"If you go back to the marshal, the subordinate officials and officials of Gaochang will also be counted." Tian Yuanyi was still very calm, and it didn't seem like a big deal to him that he had just killed more than a thousand people.

Yun Ye nodded, it was his own negligence, he habitually disposed of the soldiers, and always subconsciously avoided the local civil officials, if a five-grade left-behind guard was not bullied by those people, he would never cry in front of himself, after such a killing, maybe he spit out all the grievances he had suffered over the years, and Gao Chang would be able to settle down.

After replenishing the grain and grass in Gaochang, Yun Ye led the army over the mountain pass and went to the Tingzhou Governor's Office on the opposite side of the Folding Basket Mountain (Bogda Mountain), if possible, Yun Ye planned to withdraw the Tingzhou Governor's Office and place it in Gaochang, Guo Xiaoke likes to open up, so he had to take a defensive position, maybe this is also Guo Xiaoke's idea, he can climb on the head of his veteran as a young man makes him feel dissatisfied, especially after Gaochang is assigned to the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, his dissatisfaction may have risen to a new height, The 12,000-strong army is only 30% of Yun Ye's, which makes this veteran full of fighting spirit.

From Yun Ye to the Western Regions, there was very little contact between the two armies, most of which were the messages sent by Yun Ye first, and Guo Xiaoke would reply a few words without pain, even ignoring the etiquette of superiority and humility.

The army marches in the mountains, the people of Guanzhong are very unfamiliar with the scenery in front of them, the hot steam under the mountain is steaming, not far away is the famous flame mountain, the eggs can be fried on the shovel, but now they need to wear cotton jackets to become, there is no vegetation on the mountain, the weathered gravel is stacked together one by one, densely adsorbed on the steep mountain, as if it may collapse at any time, which makes people panic.

The peaks on both sides are towering, and the summits are covered with thick snow. The south slope is steep, the north slope is gentle, the terrain is steep, and the surface of the mountain is weathered. The main road passes through the mountain pass, in fact, it is on the ridgeline of more than ten zhang wide, like the back of a crucian carp, and there are steep cliffs on both sides. The snow-capped mountains covered with snow all the year round are on the side of the road, within reach, the white ice and snow are unusually cold, standing on the edge of the snow-capped mountains for a while, there is a cold air pressing, holding a handful of white snow for a while, the hands are frozen stiff.

It may be far away from the world, there are few mortals, the blue sky here is particularly pure blue, and the snow-capped mountains here are particularly white, which makes people have a headache when they look at it for a while.

This is altitude sickness, only a quick pass to Guò here down the mountain, will get better, Fan Hongyi tied a strap around his head, and loudly urged back and forth in the ranks to speed up the march.

"Lao Fan, don't rush, this has nothing to do with the soldiers, it's that the mountains here are too high, and the speed is already very good now, and if you urge again, something will happen, remember, if you go to Tubo in the future, you will also feel this way." Even more powerful than that, you have to be careful, you will be fine after the pass. “

Yun Ye glanced at Yuan Shoucheng, who was tongueless and following him, and he found that these two old men seemed to be much better than these young people.

"It's good to have a long breath, just slow down your heartbeat, nothing unusual." Tongueless is still angry with Yun Ye, Yun Ye doesn't care about what he treats like a baby, and even has a sense of abandonment, which makes him hurt his self-esteem very much.

He looked at Yuan Shoucheng next to him again, and dared to assert that if this old guy knew the magic of the four-sided jade plate in his arms, he would definitely be crazy to get it, and it was estimated that he would kill someone.

So he subconsciously wrapped the fur fur on his body tightly, Yuan Shoucheng's skills didn't seem to be bad, especially the six middle-aged Taoist priests beside him, as long as he looked at their riding posture, he knew that these people were not good people.

Yun Ye couldn't count on it, and Wuyu even felt that as long as Yuan Shoucheng offered a sufficient price, he would happily sell the jade plate to Yuan Shoucheng and would not think about it. (To be continued......)
