Chapter 55: The Martial Arts of Hexi

Tired!

In the past, Zhu Di went to bed at ten o'clock every night, woke up at six or seven o'clock and lazy for an hour or two, and then dressed and washed under the service of the maid.

Wait until eight o'clock or nine o'clock to go to the Mandarin Hall to study.

Take a two-hour lunch break to sleep.

When I study until five o'clock, I will play freely after school.

Normally, he would go to Jingning Palace to lie under the ginkgo tree and watch the birds.

Occasionally go out of the palace to go around my grandfather's house.

Impeccable rest.

But after arriving here, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, he was inspecting the construction site, the renovation and acceptance of the four warehouses was completed, and the construction progress of the military town was what was going on, and then he still needed to personally handle the various expenditure issues.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, he received Zhang Yulong's request for help, and took the government soldiers to Jinzhoutai to dig the road and dig until midnight, and the next day he came to Lanxian County with grain and grass, and stored 400,000 stone grain and grass overnight.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, he discussed the affairs of the Shen family firm with Shen Hongtai early in the morning, and received the military information of the avant-garde, putting on armor and defending the county of Handlan County, and waited for it in the middle of the night.

When the beacon fire was lit, he took people to Majiagou, and he went to Jingyuwei again without the success of the ambush, and returned to the military town from Jingyuwei early in the morning, and Guo Ying came back secretly as soon as he was lying on the bed.

After a beautiful meal at noon, he took a thousand horses westward to Liangzhou.

His body is no longer half bloated, and the clothes he used to wear are too big to wear.

There are so many things going on in Saibei.

At the same time, he is understaffed.

In addition to Jin Wuwei, when the grain and grass arrived, another thousand war horses were added, so there were more than 1,000 light horses.

These are the 1,000 people who were better at riding horses out of the entire 17,000 people.

As for riding and shooting, it is impossible, not even as good as him, a ten-year-old boy.

Liangzhou is the central city of the Hexi Corridor!

The Hexi Corridor is a myth that has played an extremely important role in Chinese history since the Han Dynasty.

An important commercial corridor.

Important military fortresses.

An important place of martial arts.

And it's all about one person, Huo Quai!

Wuwei, martial arts and military might.

Zhang Ye, Zhang Guo arm!

Yumen Pass, jade from the west!

Jiuquan, there is a spring under the city, and its water is like wine!

Dunhuang, the envoys look at each other in the road, the business travel is endless, Dun, Da also. Huang, Sheng also!

The strong Han and the Tang Dynasty are measured by the raid on the land of the Western Regions!

Lao Zhu has always been on par with the strong Han and the Tang Dynasty, seeking to seize the land of the Western Regions.

If the children and grandchildren are not angry, it is no wonder that Lao Zhu is not angry.

The once prosperous Hexi Corridor was rare, and when you look up, you can only see desolation and abandoned castles.

Even the beacon tower in the Han and Tang dynasties became dilapidated, leaving only the unwilling roar in the wind, as if from the abuse across time and space.

The leisurely feelings made Zhu Di stop for a long time in front of an abandoned earthen castle that he didn't know how to name.

The castle was not large, but it had 500 soldiers, four castle heads, the remnants of ditches buried by the wind and sand, and the walls with undisguised crossbows, and the fallen wall saw the collapsed houses and rotten logs inside.

The floating earth inside the castle fell more than half a foot from the outside, and there was a large black chimney inside, indicating that it was once a beacon tower.

Seeing such a scene, there is no reason for the heart to feel a desolation.

Just like the word Liangzhou, located in the west, it is often cold and cold!

The yellow sand buries all traces of what has happened.

And then, the traces on the yellow sand will be written by him to his heart's content.

Through the long yellow sand, the sky is dark, but there is an endless dry yellow ahead.

This is the Liangzhou Plateau.

The first oasis after crossing the Yellow River, it is located at the confluence of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the Mongolian Plateau and the Loess Plateau.

The majestic mountains block the yellow sand, and the mighty river of Shiyang River passes by, giving birth to this hot land that sounds like a barren Gobi.

It is pregnant with an extremely brilliant civilization.

There is a popular saying here.

Jin Zhangye, Yin Wuwei.

It has nothing to do with gold and silver, it has nothing to do with money and grain.

Liangzhou is not a good rice grain river, and Ganzhou is not a dry water lake.

The snow of the Qilian Mountains melts, filling the entire Hexi.

The word Xiliang should be the most familiar, Dong Zhuo's Xiliang, Ma Chao's Xiliang, and Lu Bu's Xiliang!

Liangzhou not only has grain, but also war horses.

It is also known as the hometown of Pegasus.

The hometown of the horse stepping on the swallow!

And Lenglongling is above the Liangzhou Plateau, under the Wusheling Ridge, where Liangzhou horses are most active.

If Hexi is occupied, the military significance of Lanxian will be slightly inferior to that of Liangzhou.

There are four entrances to the Hexi Corridor, and Lan County occupies only one of them.

However, the Silk Road is a four-way integration, must pass through Liangzhou, run through Zhangye, Jiuquan to Dunhuang, out of Yumen Pass, Yangguan, take the north, middle, and south roads to the Western Regions.

In the distance, Zhu Di saw a big Buddha lying on a cliff.

Tiantai Mountain Grottoes!

Zhu Di came to this place in later generations, but it was surrounded by a fence and could not be approached, so he could only look at the somewhat dilapidated and cracked stone statue from a distance.

But nowhere near as powerful as it is now.

The whirring sound of the wind formed a whirlpool around the stone statue, making a buzzing sound, like the sound of chanting, which was very magical.

"Phew!"

Zhu Di gently pulled the reins of the war horse, and it had become his habit not to raise the fire at night.

At this time, the guards who accompanied Guo Ying to investigate the location of Liangzhou Wei were waiting quietly, baking a fire, and sitting with a group of men wearing mink coats.

"General Guo, General Guo!"

Seeing a large group of people appear, a strong man like an iron tower surged in the firelight.

"This person is Li Siyu, the third master of Leng Longling." Guo Ying whispered.

"You are Li Siyu?" Zhu Di said with a smile.

"You are?" Li Siyu couldn't help but wonder when he saw that Guo Ying didn't respond, and a young man who looked very young came wearing a battle armor.

"Dog Cai, this is the King of Blue City, don't you hurry up and see you!" Guo Ying scolded angrily.

Li Siyu couldn't help but be startled, and her pupils stared at the young man who looked immature in horror.

I was really taken aback, but I didn't expect that the Blue City King, who was famous in Hexi recently, would come here in person.

"Rebellious minister Li Siyu, meet the King of Blue City."

With a pop, Li Siyu knelt down despite the dry and cold ground.

"The defire Chibu is already at the end of the strong crossbow, and at the latest on the summer solstice, I will be able to take Hexi."

"And you are the general of the Yuan thief, and you have changed your ways, and now you are a coward, you should understand your situation."

"The Li family in Shaanxi has no possibility of re-classifying you into the family tree, and now there is only one way in front of you, Toucheng!"

"In the entire Ming Dynasty, only this king can keep you safe."

Although this is nonsense literature, Li Siyu was able to let Guo Ying make a special trip to move the rescue soldiers, which is enough to explain everything, but Zhu Di still said this nonsense.
