It worked, but it didn't hide it from everyone...

He Jingzhi saw that the Hu people were riders, and they all covered their faces, how could they ride to Gao Xianzhi as soon as they arrived, could it be that he had seen or knew Gao Xianzhi, General Gao was neither worried nor guarded by his side, it was really strange and unreasonable, however, this can't be said nonsense, if the plan is broken, the morale of the army will be messed up, but he will lose his head.

The Tang army finally reached Tanju Ridge, which was flanked by the Shevasur Glacier to the east and the Dacourt Glacier to the west, which had to be crossed to reach the city of Akuyue.

The Tang army walked on the Shevasur Glacier, which was about 40 miles long, and the road was so difficult that even apes could not climb, and it was a daunting rugged mountain road.

Gao Xianzhi ordered that the larger carts should be discarded at the mountain pass, and all the ordnance and baggage should be carried by horses and camels or soldiers, each of whom received dry food for several days, and the cavalry carried horse forage.

The soldiers will move forward slowly, step by step, and along the way, there will be ice mounds, ice towers, ice cliffs like walls, cracks like nets, and if you are not careful, you will slide into a deep ravine, or stumble into a glacial crevasse. Gao Xianzhi passed on the title, and the mouth of Mahler was tied with ropes to avoid falling into the valley, losing his voice and howling, and mistaking the military plane.

At night, they had to stop their advance, and all the men and horses were connected with ropes, tied to rocks or trees, and were not allowed to move around at will, and the wind and horses were cold, and the wind and snow were all over, and the men and horses were huddled under the felt or wheels to keep out the wind and cold, and if they wanted to defecate, they should be solved on the spot, and although the people were miserable, no one was afraid.

After walking for three days in just 40 miles, more than 10 soldiers and more than 20 horses were lost. After a lot of hardship, over the glacier. (Note 3) After passing through the glacier, we finally arrived at the city of Abiyue.

At dawn, Gao Xianzhi ordered the soldiers of the Tang Army to change into Mingguang armor, hold a Mo knife, and stand under the city.

When the city lord arrived at the city wall, he saw the morning light shining, the bright light armor reflected the rising sun, and saw that the Tang army was like a heavenly soldier and a general, the golden light was shining, and the power was extremely powerful.

As Gao Xianzhi expected, Ah Xuanyue City surrendered without a single soldier of the Tang army without a fight.

Note 1: Gao Xianzhi's conquest of Xiao Bolu actually took place in 747

Note 2: The Tang Dynasty had a developed horse administration system, with a complete horse administration system, with special personnel to raise and feed horses, and there were also doctors dedicated to horses. Not only are there many official horses, but also private horses are also popular, and more countries pay tribute to horses to breed and breed many good horses. During the period of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, the number of horses in the country was about 706,000, and at that time, a horse was only worth the value of a piece of silk. However, after natural disasters and man-made disasters, the number of horses dropped sharply, to the first year of Kaiyuan (713) only 240,000 remained, in the 12th year of Kaiyuan (725) it rose to 430,000, and in the 13th year of Tianbao (754) there were 325,700 horses in Longyou alone, but the price of horses rose sharply to the value of about 40 silk for a horse. The Tang Dynasty infantry are equipped with private horses is contained in history, and the infantry only dismounts to respond to the battle when fighting, and all the baggage and grain are transported by horses and carts, so the Tang Dynasty army has strong mobility and strong combat power.

Note 3: In 1913, the British explorer Stein, after surveying the route of Gao Xianzhi's march a thousand years ago, commented: "For the first time in history, a large number of armies marched through the Pamirs and the Hindu Kush. Even the modern General Staff Headquarters will be helpless. This brave Chinese general marched through thrilling difficulties than the famous European generals, from Hannibal to Napoleon to Suvorov, they really did not know how many times more than they crossed the Alps. Gao Xianzhi's name will be seen in general.

After pacifying Ah Xuanyuecheng, Gao Xianzhi immediately ordered the Tang army to rest for a day, and ordered the generals Xi Yuanqing and He Lou Yurun to fortify the bridge and repair the road first, in preparation for the army to go south to Xiaobolu.

Xi Yuanqing completed the entrustment in only one day, Gao Xianzhi immediately prepared to pack, and ordered Xi Yuanqing to lead a thousand people as the pioneer and march at the same time.

Before Xi Yuanqing left, Gao Xianzhi secretly instructed: "If you enter the city of Xiaobolu, you can pretend to say: 'We have no intention of attacking your country, nor do we intend to occupy any city in your country, but we are just using the road to attack Dabolu. Due to the long and difficult roads, it is difficult to get food and grass, I hope that your country will go out of the city to work the army to relieve the burning eye! I will feel great virtue in the Heavenly Empire, and I will be rewarded! Needless to be anxious than your country!' If the other party comes out to work with the army, take advantage of the situation to attack the city gate and surprise the palace. If the other side delays the attack, then immediately attack the siege, if the attack cannot be carried out for a long time, the attack is suspended, and wait for me to lead the army to come. If you occupy the city, because Xiao Bolu has been in Tibet for a long time, there will be chieftains who will attach themselves to Tibet, and their hearts will be unpredictable. And if there are escapees, I will summon them by presenting an edict, and I will give them a pretense of an edict and give them silk to calm their hearts, and if they return, I will bind them and let me dispose of them. ｣

Xi Yuanqing said solemnly, "Obey the general's orders. ｣

Xi Yuanqing led more than 1,000 elite soldiers, marched for two days and one night, arrived at the foot of Xiaobolu City, and shouted at the door.

It turned out that the Tubo general of Lianyunbao led the defeated army, and walked the five-day journey in four days, detoured and went straight to Xiaobolu City.

The Tubo guard general said: "The Tang army broke through Lianyun Village and took Lianyun Castle, I believe that Xiao Bolu must be the main target, and the king should take precautions in advance. ｣

As he was talking, he suddenly heard that Tang Jun had arrived at the same time, and Su slipped down from the dragon chair in shock.

The Tubo guard general hurriedly said goodbye, retreated, and hurriedly summoned the Lianyunbao Defeat Deserter General, burned and plundered along the way, and rushed to the Poyi Teng Bridge.

Su Yilizhi thought about it in the palace hall, and said in his heart: The generals of the Tang Dynasty are by no means attacking Da Bolu through our country, but will attack my Xiao Bolu. That being the case, our forces are insufficient and have not yet been assembled, so it is not advisable to fight hard, so it is better to withdraw to the mountains first. The mountain road is complicated, and he may not be able to find us. Anyway, the Anxi Protectorate is far away from here, and when he withdraws, I will return to the country. Next time, I will make an appointment with Tubo, and come to him again. If he does not withdraw the army, there will be a battalion of soldiers in Tubo on the other side of the Poyi Bridge who can come to my aid, and then, if the lips are dead, the teeth will be cold, our country will return to the Tang Dynasty, and the Tubo country has lost the barrier, and I am even more worried, I expect that Tubo will send a large army to help me, and the army will arrive in only a few days, and then call these Tang troops a thousand to a thousand deaths.
