The little man who had been melted by the smoke spoke for two hours before he stopped. Hui Guo accepted the spell and put the bronze mirror into his arms, and the smoke returned to Du Huan's heart, Hui Guo pressed Du Huan's chest with his palm, and the smoke slowly dispersed from his mouth and nose.

Zhang Songyao saw that Hui Guo had accepted the method, pulled Master Du up with him, and asked about the results of the exorcism, thinking that this would be enough, and Du Gongzi would be safe and sound.

How do you know that Huiguo waved his hand again and said: "Don't be impatient, Du Gongzi is lovesick, and now I have asked the cause of the pathology, and it is just the next step." Do you understand what the little man said just now?"

When everyone heard this, they immediately softened and shook their heads, and a mouthy maid hurriedly said: "How do we know that these days, the son has been stunned at night, and his mouth is full of such words, and the monk said that it is lovesickness, isn't it in the Persian country, who is involved?" After the maid finished speaking, a group of people and others echoed one after another.

Huiguo knew that there would be nothing to be gained from them, so he said goodbye to Zhang and Du at the moment, saying that he was looking for someone who could understand this language, and then he could make the next step.

Guo Hui understood in his heart that Hui Guo said earlier that it would inevitably be useful to his own place, probably this is the case, so he told Hui Guo about someone, and that person may know this general Persian language.

During the heyday of Tianbao, more than 100,000 people from all over the world in Chang'an City, and Persians were also common. It's just that after the An Lushan Rebellion, these foreign merchant monks either fled to the Guangzhou area, or returned to the Western Regions, and the rest were less than thirty percent. In addition, this ancient Persian language is rarely spoken. In Huiguo's calculations, it is expected that he needs to use Guo Yu to find someone else to solve this misfortune.

It has not been timed. When the two of them left the Du Mansion, they suddenly felt that their stomachs were beating like drums, so they found a melon and fruit stall, bought melons and pomegranates, used them as meals, and called a carriage. Eating all the way, I went straight to the West Market.

The two came to the door of a huge mansion, the courtyard is very magnificent, the brick and tile carvings are vaguely in some Persian style, and the plaque is inscribed with three big characters of "Wanxianglou". It is said that these three words were inscribed by Li Bai, an immortal of the dynasty.

Li Bai's poem "Youth Xing": "Wuling is young in the east of the golden market, and the silver saddle and white horse spend the spring breeze." Laugh into the orchid restaurant. "Among them, the gold market is the west market of Chang'an, where the Hu merchants of the Western Regions gather and trade.

Standing on the Wanxiang Tower, you can see several tall temples and temples of Manichaeism in the northwest, which are where the alien tribes in the Western Regions live.

Wanxianglou is not a place of fireworks, the owner of the building is a Persian magnate who has been trading spices and silk for generations. Wanxiang Building, the front yard is a restaurant, and the back yard is a family house and a temporary warehouse. Because of the war, the owner of Wanxianglou has returned to the Western Regions, leaving only the proprietress to take care of the business, in fact, she is the boss's daughter, has never been married, because of her pungent and arrogant personality, and the family business is well organized, so everyone calls her the boss.

In the gatehouse were two Turkic servants, one of whom knew Guo Hua and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, Guo Wu sent him a few coins and broken silver, and walked into the courtyard with Hui Guo.

Wanxiang Building is five times high, and the red lights are hung high, and the colors greet each other. The door was wide open, the window was undisguised, and the sound of the drinkers could be heard inside.

Guo Hua stepped into the building first, and a barefoot woman in purple was reclining at a table of eight immortals, she had a pair of blue eyes, her eyes were flowing, rippling with boundless style, and her lips were slightly open, spitting out lingering affection.

She is sliding her spring-like jade fingers, teasing a Peugeot teenager who eats wine to her heart's content. The young man should have just entered the rivers and lakes, he had never seen such a charming character, his cheeks were flushed, I don't know whether he was shy or excited, which aroused the envious eyes of many visitors, and some old drinkers, accustomed to seeing this intoxicating scenery, looked at themselves.

When the orchid saw that it was Guo Hua, and a young monk was followed by him, he hooked his index finger and rolled his eyes, leading Guo Hua to his side. I saw that her body twisted slightly, her plump buttocks were already sitting on the table, a slender thigh was lifted up, and it was on Guo Hua's shoulder, the slender and round thighs were tightly wrapped in white gauze pants, and the trousers slid down, revealing delicate and well-proportioned calves; In an instant, the entire Wanxiang Building was filled with the warm fragrance of this mature woman!

Huiguo remained silent, smiling, and watching, as if he saw all beings, as if he saw Sumeru.

Guo Hua took it as a rule, grabbed her slender ankle with one hand, caressed it with infinite pity, little by little, slid towards the round and plump thighs, little by little, and slid between the legs without leaving any room. The Persian woman suddenly raised her eyebrows, her legs fell, and she pinched Guo Hua with one hand, and Guo Hua almost screamed in pain.

The woman turned around and walked towards the back hall, knowing that he had not brought a young monk to eat and drink. She is Peony, and it is said that her native name is Iliguna. However, she prefers to be called a peony, and she has seen a peony, the most colorful and enthusiastic flower in the world.

Entering the back hall, Peony pulled a smock and put it on, and saw Guo Yu and the two coming in closely. Beatle asked, "It's rare that you have something serious, let's say it!"

Guo Hua told the original story again, Hui Guo cast a spell again, and put out the bronze mirror just now, under the urging of the secret spell, I saw a faint little person in the mirror talking there, it was the scene of Du Huan's house.

Iliguna listened carefully, and this long-ago local voice made her somewhat lonely and sad.

The smoke-filled villain recounted what had happened to her, and Ilyguna spoke to both of them in Tang at the same time.

I think my life was stuck in those years.

After all, it was the happiest and most rewarding years of my life.

I couldn't get out of it, and those years were getting more and more blurry.

At that time, I had no intention of making a name for myself in the imperial examination, and I longed for the magnificent mountains and rivers of the Western Regions, so I joined the army under the umbrella of Anxi, and because of my uncle's relationship, I became the deputy envoy of Anxi and the entourage of Gao Xianzhi, the commander of the four towns.

It was a very beautiful man, and the first time I saw him, I was impressed by his demeanor. He is not only handsome, but also very fond of prestige, every time he goes out on patrol, there are more than 20 cavalry guards in front and behind. From the desert oasis to the green ridge plateau, I followed General Gao Xianzhi, admired the vast land of the Western Regions, and enjoyed the courtesy of the kings and princes of the Western Regions.

General Gao Xianzhi was made a guerrilla general at the age of 20. In the early years of Tianbao, Fumeng Lingcha served as the envoy of the Anxi Festival, and Gao Xianzhi used 2,000 soldiers and horses to quell the rebellion of the Daxi tribes, and thus made many military exploits.

Even Feng Changqing, who was later promoted to the envoy of the Anxi Festival, was also subservient to the general's demeanor back then, and asked to join Gao Xianzhi's retinue guard several times to no avail, so he stood in front of the gate of Gaofu for dozens of days, and finally entered the general's command.

There is also Cen Shen, Cen Master. At that time, he was also under the account of General Gao Xianzhi. In addition to official business, we often gallop together in the desert, watching the sunset over the long river, and the lonely smoke into the clouds. Under the bright moon, beside the bonfire, Master Cen sometimes howled "The four sides are cutting drums and snow and the sea is surging, and the three armies are shouting that the Yin Mountain is moving", and sometimes he whispers "The mountain wind blows the empty forest, and it is like a person", which makes me, a person who has little interest in poetry and songs, can't help but be full of heart.

It's time to run when General Gao comes.

Tubo has long competed with the Tang Dynasty for control of the Western Regions. In the early years of Tianbao, Tubo forced the king of Xiaobolu to marry with Tubo, cutting off the connection between the Western Regions and the Tang Dynasty, and more than 20 small countries in the Western Regions then declared themselves vassals to Tubo and betrayed the Tang king.

Attacking Xiao Bolu and leading the army over the Green Ridge, as well as the green ridge with thousands of flying people on the Green Ridge, is an almost impossible task for the * soldiers.

(1) Author's note: There are only three people who have recorded alpine marches in history. One Hannibal, one Napoleon, they climbed the Alps. Gao Xianzhi climbs over the eastern section of the Pamir Plateau, the eastern part of the Pamir Plateau, with an average altitude of 6,100 meters above sea level, and the altitude of the mountain valleys is also between 3,700 and 4,200 meters. At 7,564 meters above sea level, Qingling, or Muztag Peak, is nearly 3,000 meters higher than the Alps. It has become a historical mystery what kind of method Gao Xianzhi used to climb over the Green Ridge and the Green Ridge and maintain the combat effectiveness of the army.

Western regions. Turtles. In the handsome palace of Gao Xianzhi in the Anxi Protectorate, he had just received an edict from Chang'an, which was the holy decree sent by Emperor Xuanzong to the envoy Wang Tingfang to Gao Xianzhi directly, and promoted Gao Xianzhi to be the envoy of the camp festival, led the troops to attack Xiao Bolu, and sent the inner servant Bian Lingcheng as the supervisor.

The two adults who accompanied Chang'an that night had finished eating and drinking, and for a long time, General Gao Xianzhi had not slept for a long time. In the handsome hall, under the candlelight, the general closed his eyes slightly, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. I saw that face, vaguely like a fox.

When he smiled or brooding, closed his eyes slightly, and the corners of his mouth raised, his face was like that, like a charming fox.

However, after more than ten years of running the Western Regions, he knew the difficulty of this campaign, Tian Renwan and Fumeng Lingcha were not all cowardly people, and the attack on Xiaobolu, the cold cold, hurricanes and suffocating climate of the Green Mountains alone were an absolute challenge for the march of 10,000 people. Even if they can cross the green mountains, whether the soldiers still have the strength to fight is very worrying.

The next day, Gao Xianzhi ordered Feng Changqing, Li Siye, and Duan Xiushi to divide the troops and horses, gather 10,000 brave and skilled soldiers, and strengthen the drill; at the same time, he quickly flew the news, and ordered Jia Chongjun, the city guard, and Zhao Chongwei, the Shule town guard, to count the troops and horses, so as to wait for the promotion; and contacted the allies such as the Secret Protection State and the Hidden State to wait for an opportunity to provide support.

It was the third month of the lunar calendar, and it was best to start a war against Xiao Bolu in summer and autumn, but fortunately he still had time to solve the real problems of this war - military supplies and crossing the green mountains.

Years of garrisoning in the Western Regions have tempered the military sensitivity of a talented soldier. Many years ago, when he was still a guerrilla general, Gao Xianzhi took the opportunity of patrolling the frontier to visit mountains, rivers, snow valleys, desert oases, and constantly practiced and calculated the tactics under different terrains, environments, and climates, and consulted with the trade travelers of the Western Regions such as Tubo, Nantianzhu, Dashi, and Turkic, and discussed the business travel routes, water and food rations, and how to deal with the bad weather and cruel terrain in those areas.

After some contemplation, the general seemed to think of something, and after a whisper, General Duan Xiushi took the order, ordered a team of light horses, turned into ordinary business travelers, and went west.

After General Duan left, the soldiers who were selected to attack Xiao Bolu practiced as usual, but added an additional "task", eating a big bowl of fat meat at each meal, and after more than ten days, all of them had oily faces and bulging bellies. Bian Lingcheng and Wang Tingfang, who came from Chang'an, couldn't help but be suspicious, and they were all prevaricated by the general.

Fifteen days later, a vast group of camel merchants came to Qiuzi City, led by General Duan Xiushi. They passed through the pipeline in front of the Imperial Palace, but they did not stop, but rushed to a post near the east gate. At that time, I happened to meet and couldn't help but be surprised.

At night, General Duan came to Gao Xianzhi's mansion, and brought an old man in Hu clothes, his gray curly hair was scattered, and his weather-beaten face could not hide the ruddy beauty of a child.

It turned out that the old man was a well-known wealthy merchant in the Western Regions. He was a Sogdian, and his business spread throughout the Tang Dynasty, Tianzhu, Dashi, and the Western Regions, especially when he had a caravan that traveled to the cities of Luo, the capital of the Tibetan Kingdom. Later, the new Tibetan Zanpu became at odds with him, and cut off the trade route between him and Tibet five years ago.

For the next two days, the general closed his door and only held secret talks with An Chebishi. Late at night on the third day, Anche Bishi quietly disappeared, blended into the huge camel carath, and followed him to Chang'an. Although he had cut off contact with the king of Tubo for many years, the old man was still cautious, afraid that the news of his help to the Tang Dynasty would reach Tubo.

Soon, General Gao Xianzhi came up with a package of battle plans to attack Xiao Bolu. It is worth mentioning that he ordered people to sew 60,000 small cloth bags overnight, made them into face masks, and distributed three pieces to each of the soldiers participating in the battle, and the remaining 30,000 pieces were reserved for friendly soldiers. I groped with my hand, smelled it, a faint fragrance, refreshed my mind, I thought it was filled with some herbs, but I couldn't tell what kind of herbs it was. I guess it may have been brought about by Anchenasal Shi.

On the other hand, the supply of military supplies has also been greatly adjusted. Bring more pickled and smoked jerky and a large number of live sheep and pigs, and less rice and noodles. He also ordered the front to purchase 10,000 live yaks from the front of the city and Shule town for use.

Fourth lunar month. The army is well rested, the military supplies are sufficient, the school field is sacrificed to the Chiyou flag, the blood oath, and the army is mobilized.

This march was different from the past, in the past, the marching soldiers were expensive and fast, and most of the military baggage was supervised and escorted by the follow-up grain officer. This time, General Gao arranged for the logistics troops to accompany the army and came to a "slow march". There were also a lot more medical officers than usual, and there were not enough medical officers, so many tribal witch doctors were selected from the surrounding tribes within a radius of hundreds of miles.

At the beginning of April, Gao Xianzhi sent 10,000 soldiers and horses from Qiuzi, and arrived at the city of Diao after 15 days, and then arrived at Shule Town after more than ten days, and then arrived at Shule Town after more than ten days. At this point, the armies of Gao Xianzhi, Zhao Chongwei, Jia Chongjun, the Protector Country, and the Hidden Kingdom have been assembled.

In Shule Town, it took another three days to reorganize the troops and horses and distribute the quartermasters. Three special face shields per person. A yak is allocated for every group of two, and more than a dozen live pigs and sheep are allocated.

Everything was ready, and the army was mighty, heading towards the south, the green mountains that meet the sky, and snaked away.
