Chapter Seventy-Two: Crossing the River is Thrilling

Zharuchi led the Yuan soldiers to Dulan County in advance, the county order greeted him, Zharuchi did not want to entangle with him too much, straight to the point, intercepting the imperial court to commit crimes in this move, immediately blocked all the checkpoints to Yuxu Peak, the county order did not dare to slack off, and immediately sent officers and soldiers to strictly guard the various intersections, what General Zharuchi did not expect was Ou Xuzi They dared to go sideways, and the goal was Burhan Buda Mountain.

Ou Xuzi and Renci decided to travel day and night before entering the Burhan Buda Mountain, Renci has a wealth of experience, and is very familiar with the terrain of the roads along the way, where there are checkpoints of the Yuan soldiers, and where the Yuan army often haunts, he knows it well, so he did not encounter trouble for several days until he approached the Chahan Wusu River.

The Chahan Wusu River is located in Dulan County, Qinghai Province, Renci is ready to lead Ou Xuzi and them to go through the ditch, after crossing the Toso River into the Burhan Buda Mountains, the ditch is more than 200 miles away from Dulan, and it is rarely populated. For the ditch area, Zharuche did not pay much attention to it, because he did not believe that Ou Xuzi and they dared to climb the Burhan Buda Mountain, which is more than 5,000 meters long. But he ordered the Dulan County Commander to contact the Tusi in the ditch to guard against where the criminals escaped from. The Tusi in Qinghai were all military positions, ruling and managing their own tribes, waiting for the dispatch and conscription of the imperial court, guarding the local fortress passes, and the Tusi people were actually "serfs" and soldiers.

Both sides of the Chahan Wusu River are barren mountains and bald mountains, and the upper and middle reaches of the Chaluchi sent troops to defend it strictly, and the lower reaches of the area close to the ditch were guarded by the serfs under the jurisdiction of the local Tusi, which gave Ou Xuzi an opportunity to create zĂ o.

The water flow of the Chahan Wusu River is not fast, the widest part is only more than 50 meters, and the narrow place is less than 20 meters, which can be crossed by horseback.

At night, Ou Xuzi and they quietly rode to the lower reaches of the Chahan Wusu River, the moonlight was hazy, the surroundings were silent, occasionally the howl of unknown animals could be heard, Xiao Xuanhan hugged his son Fusheng tightly, Ou Xuzi and Renci watched the surrounding situation vigilantly, and the rapid march for days made them extremely tired, but the Chahan Wusu River must be crossed, and only by entering the Burhan Buda Mountain can it be relatively safe.

The Chahan Wusu River was desolate and cold, the river was not in a hurry, and it made a loud noise, making sure that there was no trace around, Ou Xuzi whispered: "Let's go over, be fast." ”

The horse team composed of five horses quickly crossed the river, and the horse that Xiao Xuanhan rode suddenly stepped on a moving pebble and almost lost his front hoof, Xiao Xuanhan's body shook, but fortunately he did not fall, but it alarmed his son Xiao Fusheng, and he cried. The cry was extremely loud on the empty river beach, Xiao Xuanhan was startled and hurriedly covered his son's mouth, and there were voices in the distance, and more than a dozen torches suddenly lit up and rushed towards this side.

The horse team has crossed the Chahan Wusu River, Ou Xuzi asked Renci to take Xiao Xuanhan and Mr. Yan Hua to go first, after he broke off, the torches were already very close, and after a closer look, it was not officers and soldiers, it was a group of villagers with various weapons in their hands, led by a machete in his hand and shouted loudly: "Catch the imperial court prisoners, and each person will be rewarded with ten taels of silver." ”

Ten taels of silver was not a small amount at that time, and there was no need to worry about a year's daily necessities, and the villagers rushed up.

Capture the thief and capture the king first, Ou Xuzi saw that the person who shouted was a small leader, the captain of the ten or something, the lackey of the toast, he was not polite to him, so he took off the bow and arrow and aimed at an arrow, the arrow lightning came to the eyes of the ten commander in a blink of an eye, he didn't have time to dodge, the arrow pierced into his left shoulder, the person was carried down from the horse, screaming loudly, the villagers behind were stunned, no one dared to chase it.

The danger of escape caught up with Renci and them, Xiao Xuan's face was flushed with anxiety, and he was relieved to see her husband come back unharmed.

Renji said worriedly: "Our whereabouts have been exposed, we must speed up and we will be safe when we enter the mountains." ”

After a wild run, before dawn, Ou Xuzi saw a mountain range in front of him from a distance, this is Burhan Buda Mountain, which is part of the Kunlun Mountain Range. This endless mountain with no grass growing is so desolate that it can only be described as tragic and majestic as "cold". The Burhan Buda Mountain stretches for nearly hundreds of miles from the northern part of the Bayan Kala Mountains to the Kunlun Pass, and is the southern edge of the Qaidam Basin.

Seeing this vigorous and barren mountain, Mr. Yan Hua let out a long sigh and said: "How many green lotuses rely on each other, and look back at the west wind for a while. Bitter. ”

Ou Xuzi knew that Mr. Yan was touching the scene, and when he was an official in the county, he was also a drunken fan.

Life is really this time and that time, and the Southern Song Dynasty was relatively stable during the Xiaozong and Ningzong dynasties. However, after Ningzong, traitors were in power, the government was corrupt, and the country was declining. Only Kublai Khan led the Yuan army to be invincible all the way, the battle of the Song and Yuan Dynasty broke out in 1235 A.D., to the fall of the Song dynasty in Yashan in February 1279, lasting nearly half a century, it is the Mongolian iron cavalry across the world to form the "Yellow Peril" of European horror, encountered the longest time-consuming, the most focused, the most difficult long-term war.

Yan Hua has been an official for more than ten years, and he has seen the collapse of the imperial court with his own eyes, and he has fallen to this point, can he not feel uncomfortable.
