The next morning.

The army was ready to go, and with Qin Huaidao's order, they pulled out the camp and left.

From the city of the Boleser River to the east, the terrain is getting lower and gentler.

One day later, they arrived at the Xiduo River, the Xiduo River first flowed eastward, the terrain was flat, the army walked very easily, and a day later suddenly changed its route to the north, walked along the foot of the Green Ridge Mountain, and arrived at a place called Drinking Pantuo, where a tribe lived, about 3,000 households.

An army appeared on a hillside, staring warily at the approaching army.

Qin Huaidao saw that this tribe was armed with a lot of wooden sticks, and there was no unified military uniform, called Huazi, so he didn't immediately order an attack, and with a big move, the army stopped, and the order was forbidden.

"Luo Wu, interpreter!"

Luo Wu agreed, and quickly brought a merchant hired by Bolese River City, who was both an interpreter and a guide, about thirty, alert and flexible.

"Ask them if they're willing to trade grain, and we'll buy it." Qin Huaidao gestured.

A Turkic general who could understand Tang language translated to the interpreter, and the interpreter quickly muttered, and the general translated: "King Qihan, the interpreter said that his family had sent grain to this tribe, and the tribe was very poor, and there was not enough to eat, so I am afraid that there would be no extra food." ”

"Is there any oil?" Qin Huaidao asked with the psychology of having dates or not.

The general asked a few words, and the interpreter hurried up to ask.

Perhaps because of acquaintance, an elder from the tribe came out to communicate with the interpreter, and it didn't take long for the interpreter to come back and say a call, and the general hurriedly translated: "King Han, this tribe has some oil and is willing to trade." ”

"It's all over, let the interpreter do it." Qin Huaidao didn't expect an accident, although food is important, the more the better, but the oil is also good, anyway, after taking the city of Bolesehe, a lot of local currency was seized, and it was useless to keep it.

The deal was quickly completed, a total of 5,000 cans, the locals usually use it for fire, do not know other uses, do not have much stock, the tribe is fifty miles away in a ravine, the deepest part of the ravine is a dark ditch, oil comes out of it, if you want more, you have to exploit it.

But the flow of the culvert is not large, and it is too time-consuming to want more, Qin Huaidao didn't have time to wait here, so he continued to march with five thousand tanks of oil and went all the way north.

A few days later, in the afternoon, the army arrived at a place called Shuangqu.

Shuangqu is located between one of the three cities under the jurisdiction of Shule Town, between Pancheng and Shache, Shache is one of the 36 countries in the Western Regions, successively known as Shache State, Qusha State, Yarkand Khanate, is the key point of the ancient Silk Road, an important hub of land transportation between the East and the West, and an important military garrison.

To the south of Yarkand is Yarkand City, which was later known as Yecheng, which is the westernmost ancient city in the Tarim Basin.

Shuangqu is a commercial village, built next to the lake, and the population of merchants is only about 1,000 households, but it has become declining after the war.

The army did not drive directly into it, but found a small lake and camped there.

A strong man trotted up and was stopped by the army.

Qin Huaidao saw it clearly, ordinary people didn't have time to hide, but they didn't dare to attack the army, it should be their own people, and motioned Luo Wu to go over and take a look at the situation.

Soon, the sturdy man was brought over by Luo Wu, and Old Ghost Li recognized the person at a glance, and hurriedly stepped forward to explain: "King Han, this is my intelligence officer, squad leader Ren Hai, Tang people." ”

Qin Huaidao knew about the intelligence officers sent by Old Ghost Li two days ago, and stepped forward and smiled: "It's hard work, are the brothers okay?" ”

"King Xie Han cares, the brothers go fast, arrived at this person two days in advance, the situation has been basically understood, this is called Shuangqu, when General Xue Rengui killed Shache, sent troops to kill Shule Town, once occupied Shuangqu, and now Shule Town was recaptured by the Turks, the generals who defended the city did not die, went north, and now Shuangqu is under the jurisdiction of the Turks, stationed an army of 1,000 people."

"The general defending the city should be an order to go north, General Xue is going to gather troops for a more Turkic war, it seems that the situation is not ideal, what about Shache? Also recaptured by the Turks? ”

"According to the investigation, the details are unknown."

Qin Huaidao frowned and pondered, if Shache was recaptured by the Turks, it meant that the major cities on the edge of the Tarim Basin might fall into the hands of the Turks again, and there were two roads in front of him, one was to imitate Xue Rengui and kill all the way along the edge of the Tarim Basin, and the other was to continue to the north and smash Yezhen directly.

"King Han, the last general will take people to take down Shuangqu." Fang Yiai took the initiative to fight.

Luo Tong, Luo Zhang, Cheng Chumo, Duan Zan and other brothers were promoted, and Fang Yiai had a sense of crisis.

Qin Huaidao didn't answer immediately, he looked up at the double canal in front of him, the low adobe house couldn't even see the cooking smoke, obviously he already knew that the army was coming, and he was panicking and overwhelmed, just a thousand defenders, it was easy to take it, and it was a small village where caravans traveled back and forth, there would be no shortage of things, and it was worth shooting.

Fighting double canals is not the point, the point is how to march?

Before, the news was blocked, and it was not clear that the defenders left by Xue Rengui had withdrawn, and the city had fallen back into the hands of the Turks, but now that he knew it, he had to make a new choice.

The next moment, Qin Huaidao took out the map to check, and walked all the way to the northeast along the Yarkand River, it will take at least a month to reach Moon Bow City, but it will take at most half a month from Shuangqu to Broken Leaf Town, once the Turkic army attacking Moon Bow City gets the news, they will inevitably withdraw their troops, and the siege of Moon Bow City will be lifted.

Time is too important to Xue Rengui.

The next moment, Qin Huaidao's eyes lit up, and he once again strengthened his original plan, and shouted: "Fang Yiai, transfer a division up, and fight quickly, Liu Renshi, after the battle, take your troops up to take over, all the materials in the shops are considered war trophies and taken away, and the people's homes are not allowed to be disturbed, the army will rest in place for a day, do a good job of defense, and be careful of stealing the camp." ”

Liu Renshi, Fang Yize, Liu Yanjing and the other two each led a division of logistics troops responsible for material care, escort and other matters, all three of them were new to join, and their military merits were not enough, so they were not promoted to army commander, and the army commander was concurrently served by Luo Wu.

"Obey!" The generals rushed away.

Soon, a large army slaughtered towards Shuangqu, and the momentum was like a rainbow.

Qin Huaidao pulled the intelligence team leader to inquire about the situation, while thinking about it against the map, not long after Li Lao Ghost hurriedly came over, holding a small note in his hand and said: "King Han, our intelligence personnel have infiltrated the whole city, just Flying Eagle sent a message, saying that the whole city is well defended, there are 10,000 garrisons, and I saw a wounded army of about 5,000 people entering the city, like the Tocharians, the details are unknown." ”

This information revealed three pieces of information: first, there were 10,000 defenders throughout the city, second, the defense was tight, and third, there was a force of 5,000 wounded soldiers.

Qin Huaidao pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "It seems that Xue Rengui is fighting well, if this disabled army is a Tocharian and rests in the city for one night, it will go down the double canal tomorrow, take the route we came to return to the kingdom, dare to make a move on Xue Rengui, this wounded army must be eaten." ”

"King Han, there is no need to be so troublesome, the last general will lead his troops to rush overnight and take the whole city." Xue Wanche asked for battle, his eyes were shining, and he was eager, and the young juniors were promoted one by one, and the old general was also anxious, not to be left behind.

"General Xue, don't be in a hurry, the army is tired all the way, you need to rest and recover your combat strength, you don't need to worry, you can kill some along the way." Qin Huaidao said with a smile.

Xue Wanche smiled with satisfaction when he heard this, some of them just beat it, but they were afraid of being hidden in the snow or even snubbed.

"Kill—" There was a shout of killing.
