For many ordinary people, this is a lively thing.

A team of soldiers escorted a carriage into Lan County, and then escorted them out of Lan County.

At most, it can be seen more clearly, it is the king of the blue city who escorts this car, which shows that the frame that is escorted here is very precious.

As for the rest, it's just for fun.

However.

This is very painful for many people.

Zhu Di is in this ranks.

Many times there is no judgment on a person's behavior, just like Zhang Liming at this time.

Zhang Liming also has an identity, Hu Weiyong's son-in-law, and he is Hu Weiyong's son-in-law, who will definitely be affected.

And this Zhang Liming also became Honglu Temple after becoming Hu Weiyong's son-in-law.

This is not a secret to the Ming officialdom.

This creates an extremely complex set of emotions.

Although there is no direct evidence to prove that Hu Weiyong is the mastermind of the Liangzhou horse bandits, there are various indications that Hu Weiyong raised horse bandits in Liangzhou, privately mined gold mines, and carried out a set of organized and disciplined illegal and criminal acts.

However, it was also Hu Weiyong who asked his son-in-law to go to the Northern Yuan Dynasty to preside over this peace that was almost death-threatening.

It's hard to evaluate.

"Of course, if the way of peace can be passed, the Northern Yuan will temporarily withdraw its troops, and everyone will be happy."

"Of course, everyone knows that this is impossible, Beiyuan is determined to go south this time, and wants to make Beiyuan withdraw by negotiating peace, which is fantastic."

"Therefore, if it is impossible to obtain a strategic goal from the political level, it is necessary to confuse the Northern Yuan from the military level to achieve the strategic goal."

"Not only did the whereabouts of the officials on this trip not be kept secret, but they also went north to enter the realm of the Northern Yuan Dynasty with great fanfare, just to let all the soldiers of the Northern Yuan Dynasty know that the Ming Dynasty wants to negotiate peace, and they are very eager to negotiate peace."

"So, why negotiate peace, heh!"

Zhang Liming lifted the window and sat in the car and said with a smile.

"Those who take the initiative to negotiate peace between the two warring parties are bound to be the weaker side, and even if they do negotiate peace, they should form a crushing situation militarily, and then win diplomatic victories."

Zhang Liming smiled, did not clearly explain the purpose of the peace talks, but only mentioned a few words.

This requires speculation based on a variety of factors.

The Ming Dynasty was eager to stop this military operation that had been spearheaded by the Northern Yuan and had been prepared for nearly a year.

Implement a strategy of negotiation when it is clear that there is no way to negotiate peace.

Then this peace negotiation is related to military action.

Negotiation of peace is a sign of weakness.

Mao Xiang used extremely brutal means to cut off the connection between the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Yuan.

The purpose of this is simple.

The next military movement could not be known to the Northern Yuan for a short time.

Then to think about the purpose of peace, we must be more precise, show weakness, and let Beiyuan know that the Ming Dynasty is eager to negotiate peace, and the Ming Dynasty can no longer support this war.

The army of the three roads of the Northern Yuan Dynasty was sent out by Naha, the generalissimo of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Wang Baobao, and the Duke of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, who defired the red wood fungus, went south from the east and west roads respectively.

Chen Bing does not attack is the most important thing that Daming needs to solve now.

Show the enemy to be weak, show weakness to lure the enemy.

This has become the main purpose of this peace discussion.

The powerful peace mission did not rest much in Lan County, and went directly into Qinchuan, and wanted to arrive in Lanzhou after dark.

And just when the group had just entered Qinchuan, the elusive Mao Xiang stopped in front.

"See off Gong Zhang, go here, cherish!" Mao Xiang didn't know where to get the wine glass, so he poured two glasses of wine on his warhorse, and then asked his subordinates to hand it to Zhang Liming.

"Thank you to Commander Mao, and thank Your Majesty for the ministers!" Zhang Liming took the wine glass and drank it all.

Turning back to the carriage, he said, "Let's go!" ”

Mao Xiang waited on the side of the road, and when the frame was far away, the horse galloped in the direction of the silver avant-garde.

is just to see off Zhang Liming here, and it seems to be to see off Zhang Liming for Lao Zhu.

Zhu Di sighed and regarded Zhang Liming as a hero.

This is Zhu Di's first time in Qinchuan.

It's a huge canyon, but it's more like a long basin because it's large.

On both sides are the continuation of the mountains, layered on top of each other, but bare and nothing.

Qinchuan at this time is different from before.

The establishment of the post station makes the liquidity of Qinchuan news more convenient.

Kong Cheng was responsible for the establishment of the post station.

The first post station in Qinchuan was in a place called Black Cliff, and hundreds of laborers were seen working in the cold wind from a distance.

The station has a preliminary scale and is expected to be completed in five days.

The most important stables, several houses, several yards, covers an area of about 500 square meters.

Food and water were regularly transported to supply scouts, banners, and horses to rest.

The military significance is much greater than the rest.

The procession escorting the council and the legation slowly passed by the post station in the end, without entering or resting, only passing straight through.

Soon came to the second station.

This post station is located at a corner of Qinchuan, and Qinchuan, which was originally from southeast to northwest, has a strange angle of 30 degrees here in Guizi Mountain, and has become a due north direction.

Kidnapping Mountain is a mountain at this corner.

The inn is at the foot of Kidnapping Mountain.

The progress here is a little slower than the progress of the first station.

It is beginning to take shape, and the roof has not yet been erected.

"Meet Your Highness." Seeing Zhu Di appear, Kong Cheng greeted him as soon as possible.

"General Kong is fortunate, work hard, and strive to complete it as soon as possible!" Zhu Di did not stop, and after taking a face-to-face with Kong Cheng, he continued to move forward.

After passing the Kidnapping Mountain, you will arrive at the Heihe area, which is commonly known as the local people.

The Heihe River is not a river, nor is it black, because it is a sand river, which turns north from another gap in the Qinchuan River and passes through the mountains all the way to the Baiyinchuan.

The formation of the sand river is the remnant of sand and gravel formed after the ancient river channel was washed over time for a long time and the rocks accumulated over time to raise the river channel layer by layer, and finally the river channel disappeared.

Dig deep into the Black River at least five meters deep to see the soil layer underground.

And the reason why this sand river is called the black river is because there are some black things in this black river.

This thing is a black stone washed down from the upstream by a large flood, and finally a layer of black stone was thrown on top of the sand river for many years.

People sometimes pick up these black stones to keep warm, but the effect is very bad.

As long as you follow the Heihe River all the way up, you will definitely find an open-pit coal mine.

Yes, indeed.

Thirty miles north along the Heihe River, there was a tributary of the Shahe River, like a tributary of the Great River, which turned to the northwest and finally found an open-pit coal mine at the end of the Wusheling Ridge near Liangzhou.

Sleeping just below the Sand River, waiting to pick up coal.

Zhu Di knew about this place, and also conducted a safety inspection, there is almost the largest Jiuling coal mine in Lanzhou, with reserves of 14.9 billion tons, spanning nine mountains and more than 50 kilometers longitudinally.

The reason why the Heihe River is black is that the water washed away the protective layer of the Jiuling Coal Mine, washed out the stones that had not been completely carbonized, and finally formed the Heihe.

The resource-rich northwest lacks nothing but an opportunity for development.

"Who?"

Before they left the corner of Heihe, Zhu Di and his party were intercepted.

It was a cavalry of seven men, lightly armoured, who rushed out of the col on the right.

"It's me!" Zhu Di showed his identity.

"The last general, Liu Song, greets His Highness!" The people who came quickly clasped their fists on their horses and greeted them.

"This king escorts the mission to the avant-garde." Zhu Di said.

"General Ning is nearby, and the last general will notify General Ning to come to greet His Highness." Liu Song replied quickly, and as he spoke, he had already handed a color to the cavalry next to him.

He turned around and quickly rushed into the mountain on the right.

Then Liu Song quickly followed: "There are many mobile posts along the way, and for the time being, His Royal Highness will lead the way. ”

"Good!" Zhu Di nodded.

Not only are there many mobile outposts, after passing the abduction mountain, walking along the Heihe River, you can see the temporary simple outposts almost every few hills.

After they appeared in the field of vision, every time they passed the outpost, they could see soldiers standing on the top of the hill watching.

After seeing Liu Song's banner, he quickly disappeared.

This is the whistle.

Occasionally, you can see the rolling figures of four or five cavalry from the col that enters the mountain, but they only flash and disappear.

The last time they raided Lanxian Yuanqi, they came out of the mountain from here, and then attacked the palace military town along Qinchuan.

After passing the abduction mountain, it officially entered the range of avant-garde combat.

On the Black River, along both sides of the Black River, in the mountains on both sides of the Black River, there are thousands of cavalry patrolling 24 hours a day.

"The last general, Ning Zheng, is meeting His Highness and Lord Zhang." After walking four or five miles, Ning Zheng rushed over from the rear.

"Hezhou Wei commands Ning Zheng." Zhu Di gave Zhang Liming a little introduction.

"General Ning is lucky." Zhang Liming followed and greeted Ning Zheng.

"Your Highness Xie, Lord Zhang." Ning Zheng smiled, "I didn't expect His Highness to personally escort the envoys, and the last general notified the avant-garde to come to greet him." ”

"No, no, if General Ning is busy, he doesn't have to take care of us, just escort this king, and then notify the avant-garde to greet him." Zhu Di shook his head, if he can not cause trouble to the avant-garde, he will not cause trouble.

"It's okay, the last will lead the way for His Highness and the envoys." Ning Zheng smiled, turned to Liu Song and ordered, "Liu Song, you take someone to Sanchaliang to inspect." ”

"The last general commands." Liu Song quickly led people away.

Since the failure of the Yuanqi breakthrough through the Baiyinchuan, he has greatly reduced his suicidal pathfinding behavior.

But the main battlefield, Qingishichuan, is still friction every day.

Mainly scout encounters, large-scale team battles have not happened so far.

Nevertheless.

But the avant-garde's exploration of the mountains all the way still cannot be relaxed.

For this reason, Feng Tao also ordered to blow up several hills in the mountains along the way, and blew up the roads that the Yuan cavalry had explored into a rocky nest, so as to reduce the number of troops invested in the mountains along the way.

Now the Lanzhou avant-garde is guarded by Ning Zheng, and the rest of the generals are in Qingshichuan.

Zhu Di still has a clear understanding of the avant-garde situation.
