In the early morning of 16 February, in the direction of Tongzhou, north of Chang'an, a team of ragged soldiers escorted a dark-skinned, skinny monk to the Tonghua Gate in the northeast of Chang'an City.

When the Shence Army defending the city saw this group of men, they immediately quickly notified Qiu Feiying, the lieutenant of the Shence Army in Chang'an City. At this moment, Qiu Feiying was discussing with the pharmacist about the cutting of the Shence Army from the Military Machinery Provincial Office of the Protector Mansion, and when he heard the news, he immediately looked at the pharmacist.

"What Lei Taishi said, sure enough, it's here!" Hearing the news, the pharmacist, who had always been calm, immediately slapped his palm on the table, his face full of excitement.

Qiu Feiying understood and did not dare to slack off, so he immediately ordered Jin Wuwei to go to the street and declare martial law. He personally mounted his horse and led Meng Xun, Qian Suan, Dong Yan, Zhao Huan, and the most elite guards of the Shence Army, all the way to Tonghuamen.

And the pharmacist also informed Lei Changye of this matter as soon as possible. Lei Changye immediately asked Ye Luoting and Hua Luoyin to take out the big tonic ginseng soup and life-sustaining golden pill that had been prepared a long time ago, and asked Bi Yike to rush to Tonghuamen with a group of yin generals.

When Qiu Feiying received the hero's team into the city with a grand gift, Bi Yike came to the side of the road with the Yin general, and sent ginseng soup and Jin Dan to every soldier, monk and his entourage who entered the city.

These people who have come from thousands of miles have been on the road for two years, and everyone's spirit is about to dry up. Before entering the Daming Palace, if you don't do timely treatment and maintenance, it is likely that someone will die suddenly due to excitement or mental laxity.

After drinking the ginseng soup offered by Bi Yike, many soldiers were moved to tears.

"Chang'an, I'm finally back!" The monks in the team looked at Daming Palace from afar, tears raining down.

Emperor Kaicheng in the Daming Palace convened hundreds of officials to gather in Hanyuan Palace, and on Chang'an Street, Jin Wuwei wore armor and held Ge Furui, lined up along the street, and greeted this group of Tang Dynasty relics with the most high-spirited attitude.

Under the support of the accompanying soldiers, the monk staggered into Danfengmen Street, crossed the imperial bridge, walked the dragon tail road, entered the Hanyuan Palace, and bowed in front of the Son of Heaven under the gaze of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, and knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, the poor monk is the Dunhuang Turing Temple presided over Wu Zhen, the current Shazhou Master, presiding over the affairs of the monks in Hexi, now under the command of the righteous army Zhang Yichao, Shazhou Shimen Du Professor Hong Wei Master order, with the return of the righteous army to play the documents, not far away, came to Chang'an to dedicate the book to report the victory. The emperor ......" Speaking of this, Wuzhen burst into tears and fell to the ground crying, "Shazhou...... It's gone!"

With a buzz, the military officials above the Hanyuan Hall were so excited that they couldn't control their emotions, and they all sighed. After a while, the three high-ranking officials and the six Shangshu came out of the train and bowed silently, congratulating Emperor Kaicheng.

"Master Wuzhen get up quickly, you go from Shazhou to Fengzhou, and then from Fengzhou to Chang'an, which lasted two years, traveled 5,000 miles, crossed 3,000 miles of Gobi no man's land, and only arrived in Chang'an after nine deaths. This feat of the ages is also. I will entitle you as the great virtue of the altar in the capital, and from now on, I will not kneel when I see me. Kaicheng Emperor said loudly.

Wuzhen, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly became hot. He did spend more than two years from Shazhou to the northeast to the Tiande army garrison and then back to Chang'an, although the road was extremely difficult, fortunately did not encounter the Xihu pursuers. It's a bit safer than the other Nine Messengers.

He didn't have the mind to say anything about this hardship immediately, but Emperor Kaicheng actually broke his return route in one bite, as if he had seen it himself, this kind of keen insight and care shocked him at the same time, and his heart was extremely warm.

"Thank you, Lord Ron. The emperor's insight into the whereabouts of the poor monk is like a fire, and he is very observant, which is really a great grace of heaven. Gojin struggled to his feet from the ground and bowed down with difficulty.

"What is the current situation of the Shazhou Guiyi Army?" Emperor Kaicheng asked with concern.

General Zhang Yichao captured Shazhou with great difficulty, and when the poor monk was leaving, Shang and his brother led the army to seize Guazhou, and the battle was stalemate. He ordered us and other messengers to return to Tang in ten ways, hoping that His Majesty would remember the heart of the remnants of Hexi to serve the country, send troops to attack the front line of Xiaoguan and Liangzhou, attract Xihu troops, and attack the Shazhou army from the north and south, and recover all the lost territory in Hexi. Wu Zhen said in a trembling voice.

"This matter cannot be delayed, and it should be the top priority of the court at the moment. Where is the long night of the military plane?" said Kai Cheng Emperor Lang.

"The minister is here. Lei Changye, who had long been mixed in the hundred official trains, walked to the hall and bowed.

"Immediately put together a charter for me to send troops with the two military aircraft squires. Emperor Kaicheng said lightly.

"The minister obeyed. Lei Changye said respectfully.

"Retreat. After Emperor Kaicheng finished his instructions, he announced his retirement from the dynasty cleanly, and then left with a group of royal housekeepers in high spirits.

The hundred officials of Hanyuan Hall seemed to be surprised by this behavior, and after a few cordial conversations with Wuzhen in the hall, they also left one after another.

Wu Zhen looked at the backs of Baiguan and Emperor Kaicheng, and his heart was at a loss. The decisive battle with Xihu is a major national policy, and shouldn't there be a fierce confrontation between the monarchs and ministers in the palace? The southern and northern divisions are intrigued, and the ministers of the Hanlin Yuan and the three provinces and other provinces are scolding each other, and they are so angry about how to send troops and how to pay salaries, and they shirk each other's responsibilities, directly denounce their wrongdoings, and compete for the right to speak.

At least in the previous Tang Dynasty, it was a traditional art. Now that he can't send troops, the emperor will make a decision and casually throw it to a group of officials with the title of military aircraft, and the procedure is not a little bit streamlined.

What has happened in all the years since he left?

"Master Wuzhen, in the long night of Taishi Lei under the military plane, Bai Yinyi served as a lieutenant in the army, and now the saint intends to assist Shazhou, and he is ordered to temporarily take the position of generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and is fully responsible for sending troops to Xihu. If the master is still physically able to persevere, I don't know if he can go to Baiyinyi to talk to the Provincial Office of the Military Aircraft in the Protector's Mansion. Lei Changye asked in a deep voice.

Wu Zhen was confused when he heard this, he looked up at Lei Changye's five-flower head, and suddenly said, "You have a Dao pattern on your head, right?"

"Exactly, in Xia Nai Shushan Gate people. Lei Changye said with a smile.

"Since I am from Shushanmen, I am naturally trustworthy. Wu Zhen breathed a long sigh of relief, with a resolute look on his face, "I can still hold on, and the troops must be dispatched as soon as possible, otherwise I am afraid that the heroes of Shazhou will not last long." ”

On the day that Wuzhen arrived in Chang'an, the news that the fourth Prancing Circus was about to start suddenly appeared in the painting box, which had been silent. All of a sudden, the entrance to the fantasy realm was crowded with people in the palace, and countless people who had long been hungry and thirsty rushed into the palace, eager to enter the fantasy world of the Leaping Circus to compete with Xihu again.

But this time, instead of being able to enter the fantasy world, they watched a show in the fantasy world.

Under the leadership of Zhang Yichao, Zhang Yitan and Hong Wei, the Han people of Shazhou rose up, took advantage of the unpreparedness of the Xihu defenders, and took the city of Shazhou, and regained Shazhou after more than 60 years. Zhang Yichao formed the Guiyi Army, absorbed soldiers of all ethnic groups from Han and Hu, and even Xihu soldiers who rebelled against Hu and returned to Han joined the Guiyi Army, gathering 7,000 warriors and attacking Guazhou.

In Xihu, the army of Wuru and 61 Dai was rapidly assembled and was surrounding Shazhou in all directions.

The five rus of Xihu are the five major military administrative regions that the Xihu emperor divided his ruling area into, and the army of each Ru is composed of five thousand households in name, but in fact there are as many as a dozen thousand households, collectively known as wings. Originally, the headquarters of Xihu had four wings, namely the center wing, the left wing, the right wing, and the branch wing.

Each of the five wings is composed of five to twenty thousand households, and each thousand households is called a dai. The wings are also known as ru in customary appellations. Therefore, Xihu has a total of the famous five ru and sixty-one dai.

The men and horses in each Dai have brave and warlike aristocratic soldiers, called Gui Dong Dai, and there are also support teams composed of inferior commoners and slaves, called Yong Dong Dai.

Once the war broke out, the Dai cavalry in Wuru swarmed out, and one of them quickly formed an army, cooperating with each other, and the mobilization speed and the quality of troops exceeded the garrison troops in various parts of the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, once the Xihu army sent troops, the soldiers did not bring food and grass, and only relied on looting to provide for themselves, so once they won the victory, they would inevitably burn and loot, and take away a large number of slaves with gold and silver, so that the place where the war took place was ten rooms and nine empty.

And this time Shazhou was captured, which made the king of Xihu Zanpu angry, all of the top elite soldiers Zampu four guards who were strictly trained and trained by the Buddhist soldiers of Wanzang Temple, poured out of the nest, and had gone down the plateau, and the soldiers were directed at Shazhou.

Today's Shazhou Guiyi Army is facing overthrow.

After the Taixu Palace completed the display of this performance picture, a huge war-free card was immediately lit up, showing everyone: the Prancing Circus has been suspended, and Lei Changye, the person in charge of the Prancing Circus, is now in Chang'an to discuss the itinerary of reinforcements to rescue Shazhou.

Seeing the scene in full swing in Shazhou and hearing the call of Bai Yinyi's army, all the people who had fought with Xihu three times had a trace of indescribable excitement and excitement. The Guiyi Army rose up in Shazhou, causing a fatal gap in Xihu's strong and tight defense line in the Western Regions during the three leaping circus.

After the hellish tempering of the Prancing Circus, these painters have an extremely deep understanding of every detail of the changes on the battlefield. The significance of Shazhou's recovery was quickly captured by them.

If Bai Yinyi's army really became an army in Chang'an this time, the soldiers would be sent to the front line of Xiaoguan Liangzhou. The Xihu army was pinned down by the Guiyi Army of Shazhou, and the defense of Liangzhou was no longer so impregnable, and it was entirely possible to go down in one go.

Once Liangzhou was opened, the east gate of the Tang Hexi Corridor was opened, and the local regiments and rebels could let go of the horses to the west of the Hexi and see the hometown of Dunhuang that had been haunted thousands of times in their dreams.

The current generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses is Lei Changye, hum! Next year's generalissimo of soldiers and horses will be my uncle!

This incident made all the retired sergeants who were idle at home, the Jianghu sects in various places, and the disciples of the martial arts hall no longer able to resist the enthusiasm of joining the army. They popped out their consciousness from the painting box, packed their luggage on the same day, brought dry food, went out together, and advanced towards Chang'an and Yangzhou from the land and water roads of various towns in the Tang Dynasty.

Bai Yinyi from the Protector's Mansion, we are finally here!
