Guo Rong's own desire to upgrade is far away, but when he found out that Lu Shishi could also be upgraded and could accumulate attributes, under Guo Rong's deliberate cultivation, Lu Shixi quickly upgraded and improved!

In just a few dozen days, Lu Shixi reached the fifth level, and his attributes were also improved from the five scum of battle to a real warrior.

Although it can't be compared with Guo Rong, it's no problem to kill a handful of Tubo people with crossbow arrows.

In fact, with the improvement of Lu Shishi's combat power, the shortcomings of the pair of Guo Rong and Lu Shishi have been filled, and the comprehensive combat power of the two has been greatly improved.

Guo Rong believed that even if he encountered four to six people, with his 20 stamina, 16 strength, 16 agility, full proficiency rifle, two layers of heavy armor with internal locks and external ties, plus Lu Shishi's back, he could also take it down.

Subsequently, in order to avoid exposing their targets and misleading the attention of the Tibetan garrison, the two daring fellows chose to go south when they should have gone north.

Taking advantage of the night, he sneaked up on a post station on the Silk Road trade route.

While eliminating the 10 life station soldiers, Lu Shishi's bag licking skills were used again, and he accidentally found a map of the distribution of soldiers and horses in Yizhou, which made the two have a deeper understanding of their opponents.

The two then continued south, raiding various stations that could be seen along the way. The cavalry and messengers stirred up most of Yizhou's chaos.

A large number of cavalry, originally stationed in the north, were drawn to the south.

After successfully mobilizing the forces of the Tibetans, the two of them, with the help of Lu Shishi's amazing sense of location, successfully moved into the grassland Gobi region in northern Yizhou again.

And arriving here means that the two of them are only one step away from escaping from the territory of the Tibetans and entering the grasslands of Mobei and Monan, which belong to the control of the Uighurs.

"We are about to leave Illinois and enter Uighur territory."

"It's been about half a month faster than we expected!"

"yes, there's only one final blockade left!"

As he spoke, Lu Shiwei pointed to Guo Rong with his hand at a long castle that stood out of the dividing line between the Uighurs and the Tibetans!

What he said was serious, but looking at the grass that was already very much around, Lu Shishi's mood was quite good.

In fact, once you enter the steppes, even if you enter the territory of the Uighurs, the last blockade to cross is the most dangerous!

But in the same way, in their own hinterland, the Tubo people would not arrange too many soldiers and horses, but in the face of the Uighurs, who nominally had 200,000 troops, the Tubo people did not dare to be careless, and scouts, horse scouts, rangers, and patrols often haunted.

It can be said that the closer you get to the Uighurs, the more dangerous it becomes!

In fact, in less than ten days after bypassing the city of Yizhou and entering the area near the grassland, the two encountered six waves of Tibetan horses, which was the result of a large part of the Tibetan people's experience being attracted to the Silk Road.

Fortunately, in front of the duo with improved comprehensive strength, everything was in danger, and it also made Lu Shishi's one level higher.

Through the interception of messengers and the interception of horses for more than a month, coupled with the raid on the post station, the information obtained from the captured official documents, the map of the distribution of troops, and the interrogation of prisoners.

Guo Rong's strategic situation in the entire Hexi Corridor is finally no longer blind, Lu Shishi's bag licking skills, and after they unexpectedly obtained a precious troop distribution map, they also have a deep understanding of the situation of the Northwest Daodu Envoy of the Tubo River where he is now located.

To put it simply, the aftermath of the First World War in Victoria three years ago is still there!

For the Tubo people, with a total population of less than 4 million, the loss of 50,000 soldiers and horses in World War I is definitely a wound, and it is not easy to make up for it!

In order to make up for the strategic gap, the elite forces of Tubo are now placed on the west side of Jiannan Road and the east of the Hexi Corridor to defend the Tang army on the front line of Longyou Road, Guannei Road, and Jiannan Road.

The envoy of the northwest province of the Tubo River, who had jurisdiction over several prefectures such as Guazhou, Shazhou, Suzhou, Ganzhou, Liangzhou, Yizhou, and Xizhou, was mainly responsible for fighting against the Anxi army and the Uighurs.

Because it did not border with the big cannibals in the west, nor did it contact with the Tang Army in the east, and the opponent it faced was weak, it was reduced to a second-rate theater of operations on the inner line.

As a second-rate theater, the result was that a large number of elites in the northwest province of Hexi were transferred to the east to make up for the soldiers and horses under the command of the Wudao Jiedu envoy in the eastern border who had suffered heavy losses three years ago.

Reduced to a second-rate war zone, the elite has also been transferred, but this does not mean that Hexi Province can lie flat and be salted fish.

They also had the task of spying on Anxi, blockading the Uighurs, and serving as a reserve for the five eastern provinces, which completely drained the already small number of troops and horses in the northwest of the river.

Needless to say, the direct consequence was that Guo Rong led the Eighth Regiment to fight continuously as soon as it came out of Qiuzi, until he encountered the battlefield of Lu 14 in Xizhou, and the Tubo people thought that the entire Eighth Regiment was annihilated.

And then there are the Uighurs!

Although the Uighurs were poorly equipped, underarmed, and poorly armed with fighting will, this did not mean that the western province of Hexi could relax their vigilance, nor did it mean that the Tibetans' defenses in the north were empty.

The Uighurs are not fools, the Uighurs are rich, and the Uighurs do not want to be equipped with high-quality armor, but the equipment is extremely poor, and there is only one reason for this, the Tang Dynasty and the Tubo have imposed an embargo on the Uighurs with iron and armor!

In order to prohibit Tibetan merchants from selling iron to the Uighurs, the province had to station enough soldiers and horses in the border area, and send enough scouts and scouts to strictly guard it.

And after Guo Rong and Lu Shishi crossed Yizhou City, the waves of scouts and scouts they encountered were these guys.

Less than 100 miles from the border between Tibet and the Uighurs, the two had to make a choice.

He took the map from Lu Shiv's hand and pointed to the location on it.

"Just choose the place between these two Wu forts, there is no river here, and there is a small amount of Gobi, which is not suitable for large-scale marches, I feel that the probability is greater, what do you think, Shishilang!"

"It's good to go here, but if you go here, we have to prepare some more water bladders in advance!"
