Later generations may say that the name of "Kunlun" comes from the "Zhuangzi. "Emperor Ying" is the homonym of the "chaos" of the emperor of the center.

The red water comes out of the Kunlun hill, flows into the salt sand moraine, melts the snow and fills the fertile, and forms the fertile Chishui River in Bailan, which is today's Qinghai Dulan, which is today's Xiangride Oasis.

And here, this is the next goal of Pharmacist Li.

In the three major military and economic bases in Tuyuhun, Qinghai River, Dafei River, and Chishui River, Qinghai River has been taken by the Tang Army, and Dafei River has been monitored by the Tang Army.

At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Tuyuhun attached great importance to the Chishui River.

This area originally belonged to the Ding Ling people of the ancient Qiang tribe, and the Bailan Kingdom was established here.

However, it was not until three hundred years ago, after Murong Tuyuhun came here, that it gradually became known to Middle-earth.

According to the Book of Song. The Biography of Tuyuhun records that Murong Tuyuhun's son Murong Tuyan was assassinated by the Qiang chieftain, and before he died, he instructed his son Ye Yan: "I am so angry that the coffin is gone, and I will go away to protect Bailan." Brandy is both distant and cowardly, and easy to control. ”

It can be seen that Tuyuhun has always regarded this area as the top priority, and has always regarded this area as the administrative center of his tribe before the capital of Fuqicheng.

Nearly two hundred years ago, the Northern Wei Dynasty's expedition to the west once forced the Murong monarchs to flee from Bailan.

The Tuyuhun army held the Chishui River, and the Northern Wei army suffered a heavy setback and was finally forced to retreat.

Soon after, Tuyuhun returned to Bailan and quickly restored all the land.

Later, the Northern Zhou and Yang Sui successively marched westward, and after taking Bailan, they were unable to gain a stable foothold in the Chishui River.

However, in front of him, it is Yang Yang Zhenguan, and it is the Emperor Army's god Wei Jing Wugong.

At this time, the Chishui River was the territory of the Tuyuhun Quanchen Tianzhu King.

Bailan is not only the main city of Chishui River, but also an important node on the Qinghai Road of the Southern Silk Road.

After the Tang Dynasty pacified the Turks, the Northern Silk Road and the Hexi Road were restored, which seriously affected the economic interests of the Tianzhu King.

Therefore, in the past few years, even though Fu Yun sent envoys and intended to reconcile with the Tang Dynasty, the King of Tianzhu still repeatedly sent troops to plunder.

In the face of an opponent like the Tianzhu King, Li Yaoshi personally commanded the battle, and the generals under his command broke the enemy army one after another.

The most relied on arm of the Tianzhu King, Murong Xiaojun, the king of Gaochang, was also captured by the Tang army.

Murong Xiaojun was known for his bravery and courage in Tuyuhun, but he was invincible at this time, and the King of Tianzhu had to lead a large army to flee in a hurry.

Pharmacist Li and Li Daliang stationed in Bailan and sent generals to pursue in all directions.

Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche brothers traced Chishui into Bailan Mountain, which is in today's Burhan Buda Mountains, which means sacred mountain in Mongolian.

His brother encountered the Tuyuhun army here, but because most of the previous battles were easily won, he and the two of them only led more than 100 cavalry to engage the enemy.

Unexpectedly, this is the main force of the Tianzhu King, and the Xue brothers were both shot and fell off the horse.

Fortunately, he led hundreds of Qibi cavalry to arrive, and under the battle, he risked his life to rescue the two of them.

At this time, Li Daliang had also arrived, and led the Xue brothers and Qibi He Li to continue the pursuit in Chishui.

Fu Yun was in the mountains in this area, and immediately ordered the Tianzhu King to fight against the Tang army, and he led the crowd to abscond.

Li Daliang's division pursued the Tianzhu King until the source of the red water, the Red Sea, which is today's Dongqi Zona Lake.

Along the way, you can see that there are huge mountains composed of ochre-red sandstone, and the river water washes away the ochre red rock and soil, and flows out to form ochre-red red water.

Li Daliang led his army to defeat the Tianzhu King in the Red Sea, not only occupying the commanding heights of Bailan Mountain, but also capturing 200,000 miscellaneous animals.

At this time, the scouts came with news that Fu Yun had already absconded to the west.

The Tang division was greatly relieved and continued to pursue westward, coming to Shuhun Mountain, which is also in the present-day Burhan Buda Mountains.

And the last army fought fiercely with the Tuyuhun army again here, and won a complete victory, not only obtained tens of thousands of miscellaneous animals, but also captured 20 people of its famous king, which was the biggest victory since the western expedition.

Although Fu Yun escaped again, Tuyuhun had too many captured noble generals, and his vitality was greatly damaged.

A few days ago, after Pharmacist Li entered Bailan, he sorted out the table books left in the tent of the Heavenly Pillar King and analyzed the possible movements of Fu Yunjun's ministers.

Later, it was learned that Hou Junji and Li Daozong pursued the enemy army until the source of the river, and still let Fu Yun escape.

At this time, he got Li Daliang's good news, coupled with the intelligence information sent back by scouts from all over the world, this military god of the world can already judge the way of Fu Yunjun's ministers to hide and escape.

After the loss of Bailan and Chishui River, there was no place to be ashamed in Tuyuhun to gather lessons, and Fu Yun could only go all the way west, trying to escape to Khotan.

After the Northern Wei Dynasty and Yang Sui took Bailan, Tuyuhun Junchen also defected to Khotan twice.

At this point, they don't have a better option.

However, unlike back then, this time the Tang Dynasty Military God correctly grasped Fu Yun's movements at the first time.

So Tuyuhun could only rush west in a panic in a hasty manner.

It is not enough to take care of the elderly, the weak, the women and children, nor the cattle that drive the people to survive.

Hanshu. The Legend of the Huns once described the situation of the Southern Xiongnu fleeing to avoid the pursuit of the Han army with "being pregnant and dying, and rejecting extreme suffering", which was an extremely tragic scene.

If Tuyuhun could be like Xiao Liang back then, with a virtuous minister like Cen Wenwen, and a monarch who suffered for the people like Xiao Mian, maybe he would surrender at this time.

However, Tuyuhun is not Xiao Liang after all.

At this time, Fu Yun gave up his life and ran west, and Li Daliang led and the last army followed.

More than 100 years later, Cen Shen said in the poem "Walking Horses and Rivers to Send Doctor Feng to the West":

The general's golden armor does not take off at night. In the middle of the night, the army marched together. The limelight is like a knife, and the surface is like a cut

Horsehair with snow sweat steam. Five-money spin into ice. The grass in the curtain is waterlogged

This is the current reality.

The Datang Iron Rider rode along the northern foot of Kunlun Mountain and the southern edge of the Qaidam Basin, soaring all the way from Shuhun Mountain for 3,000 miles, crossing the Baishan Mountain at the western end of Tuyuhun, and driving straight to the end.

Baishan is today's Altun Mountain, Altun Mountain is the meaning of Baishan in Mongolian, and the altitude of the mountain is about 4,000 meters.

And the last is located in the southeast of Tulun moraine, with an altitude of less than 1,000 meters.

The Taklamakan in the Tarim Basin of Xinjiang today, the second largest desert in the world.

Although the distance led by Li Daliang and the last army was not as high as that of Hou Junji and Li Daozong, after crossing Baishan, the terrain quickly dropped from 4,000 meters above sea level to 1,000 meters, with an altitude difference of more than 3,000 meters, which was a great test for the physical fitness of the Tang army.

And the distance they have traveled is unique in ancient and modern times!

At this time, it is necessary to emphasize Zhang Wansui's achievements in raising horses, as well as Li Yaoshi's vision of advocating the beating of bows.

What's more, over the years, Xue Wanche has been appointed by Pharmacist Li to coordinate horse taming affairs, and he has a particularly in-depth understanding of horses.

If it was still the same as five years ago when he was crusading against the Turks, limited by the number of horses, Li Yaoshi could only assault Dingxiang with 3,000 cavalry and attack Yinshan at night with 10,000 cavalry, and Li Shiji could only lead his foot soldiers to the moraine;
