    Lin Zhuang became more and more excited as he talked and said: "Because of his relationship with Kou Zhong, the Bodhisattva gained the support of another Turkic Khan and returned to Hehe and took the position of Qinjin. Under his rule, Huihe became more prosperous and finally  The famous battle was in the early years of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty. The Bodhisattva used five thousand elite cavalry to defeat one hundred thousand Turkic cavalry at Mahu Mountain, which shocked the northern part of the country. Since then, Uihe and its neighboring country Xue Yantuo have been friends with each other and joined hands to fight against the Turks.  Khanate. Since the Bodhisattva and Kou Zhong are brothers, they have always maintained good relations with your country. It was the Tiele tribes of Uighur who took the initiative to call the Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty the 'Celestial Khan'. The son of the Bodhisattva, Tumido, even led the  The leaders of the Twelve Tribes of Tiele went to Chang'an for pilgrimage. Li Shimin appointed Tumido as the governor of Hanhai."

    Wan Renyu said: "Your understanding of Uighur makes us ashamed."

    Lin Zhuang said: "Because our ancestors were Uighurs, and later moved to the plateau when their grandparents were here, where they returned to their roots after falling leaves."

    Feng Guoting asked: "Where is Uighur? Who is in charge? What is their current relationship with us?"

    Lin Zhuang said: "Uihe is located to the north of Qiuci, east of Tuqishi, and northwest of Tujue. Most of this area is mountains and wilderness, and the boundaries are not clear and change with the strength of the country. Now the leader of Uihe is alone.  Jie Zhi still maintains good relations with your country, but due to the great power of the Turks, they have occupied a lot of their land, but the Uighurs and their Tiele tribes are still a force that cannot be underestimated."

    Longying asked: "What is the relationship between Huihe and Tiele?"

    Lin Zhuang said: "The Uighurs are equal to the boss, and the Tiele tribes are more than ten tribes, but the boss is the leader. Of course! They are from the same family, but have different surnames."

    Long Ying smiled and said: "Listening to your words for one night is better than sending spies to inquire for ten years. It's all night! Let's go back to our tent and rest, and we'll be on our way again tomorrow morning."

    Three days later, they left the mountains and arrived at the plains.  Lin Zhuang first sent out reconnaissance cavalry, and a group of ten people searched far and near. Not only did they not find any, but no one was found in the business trip.  At the end of autumn and winter, no one dares to risk climbing.

    Before I knew it, it was almost a year since I left Chang'an.

    Long Ying and others first followed the group to the east, only one day's ride from Khotan. They camped and rested, waiting for the coming of night.

    Lin Zhuang sent people to look around, and with the help of the dragon eagle or the eyes of the divine eagle in the sky, even if the mysterious warriors came, they would not be able to escape their eyes and ears.

    Lin Zhuang went with them to a high slope near the camp to talk secretly.  Said: "This time Kuixin, the military commander, returned after being frustrated and had to pay for the Dajiang Alliance's entire plot to overthrow us in Tubo. He should have lost interest and returned home dejectedly. Let's see whether Mochu will kill him to vent his anger, or whether he will do it for the sake of Ningyan.  For the sake of it, spare his life. In addition, he never thought that you would give up the middle land and take Qiuci, so it is reasonable not to wait here. "

    Feng Guoting said: "The secret warrior we are most worried about. Why haven't we seen one of them until today?"

    Wan Renyu said: "Even if we miscalculated our route at first and thought we would go straight to the plateau via Qinghai Lake, we later realized that we needed to adjust our strategy!"

    Long Ying said to Lin Zhuang: "Commanders Kuixin and Lin Buya were able to intercept us in front of the big and small ghosts. Is it beyond your expectation?"

    Lin Zhuang nodded and said, "I have never dreamed of it. With more than 20,000 people going so deep into the desert, all it takes is a huge sandstorm. It's not surprising that more than half of the troops and horses will be killed or injured."

    The three of them thought of the desert, and their fear lingered.  Jun felt that Lin Zhuang was not exaggerating.  No matter how many soldiers and horses you have, they are still very small compared to the vast and endless desert, and can be swallowed up by the desert.

    Long Ying said: "We have met the mysterious man a long time ago! Just like that day, the Turkic army, led by the mysterious man, crossed the desert, sneaked into the Khitan territory, and launched a surprise attack on the Khitan New City. This time the enemy can accurately intercept us at Kumtag.  , also because they are led by the mysterious man, who pulls the strings. But we haven¡¯t had the opportunity to engage them head-to-head yet. The secret man may be hiding in Kuixin¡¯s team.¡±

    Wan Renyu took a breath and said: "Fortunately, our Yingye is wise and powerful. Instead of escaping, we advance and break out at the best possible location. If we had turned around and fled to the desert, we would definitely not be able to return to Khotan alive today."

    Lin Zhuang said gratefully: "It's all thanks to Lord Ying that I, Lin Zhuang, have been able to save my life. Now I have made great achievements and been promoted by the prince to a position that I never dared to dream of."

    Long Ying smiled bitterly and said: "Brothers, you don't have to flatter me. You have to flatter Xue'er as much as you should. If we were to compete with the mysterious man in the desert on foot strength, I would have lost completely. It all depends on Xue'er's exertion of life force.  Take me out of the desert, or I will almost die."

    When the four of them thought about the situation where there was no life or death at that time, they all thought it was a fluke.

    Wan Renyu looked at the setting sun in the west and said: "Anyway, there is still some time. General Lin Zhengzheng can tell us which ethnic groups with fighting strength are near the Turks?"

    Lin Zhuang said: "Get rid of the sudden cavalry and implement peace."In addition to He, there are Xue Yantuo and Xijiasi, and the others are smaller ethnic groups that cannot do much and are suitable for relying on other powerful ethnic groups.  "

    After a pause, he continued: "As for the Uighurs, I have something to add, that is, the Uighurs are not like their powerful neighbors. They can only be regarded as a big alliance of tribes of the same race. The tribes usually go their own way. The Uighurs were originally a part of Tiele, and the Tiele  There are also Pugu, Tongluo, Bayegu and other tribes in Le. After the founding of the Uighur nation, all the land of Mobei Tiele was developed. On the basis of the nine surnames of Tiele, it developed into the nine-surnamed Uihe. The nine surnames are medicine.  Luo Ge, Hu Duo Ge, Zhi Luo Wu, Qi Ge Xi End, A Wu Di, Ge Sa, Hu Xi Su, Yao Wu Ge, and Xi Ye Wu. In recent years, the Turkic population has grown stronger, and each of the nine surnames has moved to avoid disasters. Among them, there are  With Pugu as the most powerful tribe in Huihe, Qi Jingewanbayan was named the General of Youwuwei by your country and concurrently served as the governor of Jinwei."

    Feng Guoting said with a headache: "The situation in Mobei turned out to be so complicated. When we set out from Chang'an, we thought there were only Turks and Tuqishi. It seems that the strength of the Uighurs is not inferior to that of Tuqishi, otherwise they would have been destroyed by the Turks long ago.  "

    Longying asked: "Who is Xue Yantuo?"

    Lin Zhuang said: "Most of the things about the tribes in Mobei were passed down from my grandfather. In addition, I pay special attention and ask for relevant information from people who come back from the north from time to time, so I know more than others."

    Wan Renyu smiled and said: "You don't know more, but you know everything. It's just that there are so many names, which is very deceiving."

    Lin Zhuang said: "As for Xue Yantuo, it was originally the strongest among the Tiele tribes, but due to Domi Khan's cruelty and cruelty, tribes from various Uighur surnames attacked it, and your country sent Li Shiji to conquer it.  All the tribes of Xue Yantuo, large and small, fled in all directions. They could no longer gather their strength, and they existed in name only. In recent years, no one has emerged who can revive Xue Yantuo."

    The sky turns dark and stars fill the night sky.

    Lin Zhuang said: "Xiajiasi was originally one of the Tiele tribes. Due to its location in the far north, special geographical environment, severe cold climate, and large rivers freezing for half the year, a country with a unique style developed. Everyone is tall and red.  They have white faces and green eyes. There are many boys and girls, and they are brave and good at fighting. The men have tattoos on their hands, while the women have them on the back of their necks. Both men and women wear earrings, which is very easy to identify. They are most famous for the fact that it sometimes rains iron.  ', the Xijiasi people collected this kind of strange iron that fell from the sky, cast it into particularly sharp weapons, and sold them to the leaders of various tribes at high prices. Several of them became the most famous magic weapons outside the Great Wall. However,  The Turks have gained momentum in recent years, and they have forced the Xijiasi people to pay tribute to them nine pieces of 'rain iron artifacts' every year. This has made the Xijiasi people very dissatisfied, and of course they dare not speak out. Generally speaking, the northwest of the Turks  , there are only Tuqishi, Huihe and Xijiasi further north. Now Tuqishi cannot stop expanding, and its forces are exploring south of the four towns in Anxi, with Suiye City as the big tooth and Gongyue City as the small tooth. The Turks and  The battle for hegemony between Tuqishi is on the verge of breaking out. If it were not for the disagreement between Suoge and General Zhongjie, Suoge might have taken advantage of the Turks' frustration in Dongsai to launch a war."

    Long Ying said happily: "We have finally figured out the situation to the north of the Turks. It's almost time! It's time for us to leave."

    The three of them hid in a dense forest, silently observing the distance and near in the darkness to see if there were any enemies secretly following Lin Zhuang and others.  The dense forest is located at the southern foot of the Kunlun Mountains, bordering the Khotan Oasis. It is the intersection of mountains and grasslands, with complex and changeable terrain.

    Wan Renyu asserted: "This time we really got rid of the enemy. The reason is that the enemy can no longer control our next destination."

    Feng Guoting looked at the condor circling high in the sky and asked Wan Renyu: "That day when you asked about the road to Kucha, who were you asking about?"

    Wan Renyu said: "They were all arranged by the elders for me, and they promised to keep everything secret. At that time, I already understood that as long as no one knows where we are going, half the battle will be won."

    Arriving in the Western Region beyond the Great Wall, even though the three of them were extremely skilled in martial arts, they were still disproportionately weak compared to the enemies on either side. If they were constantly being chased and beaten, and they would be beaten to the left and right, the one who would suffer in the end would definitely be the one who suffered.  them.

    Everyone understands that the key is to arrive at Qiuci without anyone noticing and find the wilderness dance and beautiful flowers. Only then can we achieve great results.  Otherwise, you will just be stuck in a situation where you cannot protect yourself.

    Long Ying's eyes were shining and he said: "Since even Wu Chengsi doesn't know that we are going to Kucha, there is certainly no risk of the news being leaked. Let's make a complete disguise and go to Kucha via the shortcut in a swaggering way.  "

    Wan Renyu said discouraged: "Turkic spies are everywhere, and there are also secret men who are eyeing us. We just rode horses instead of camels and ostentatiously crossed the desert. Our origins are unknown, and there are three of us. It would be strange not to attract anyone's attention."

    Long Ying said: "Aren't we going north along the big and small oases? What's so strange about riding a horse?"

    Wan Renyu said: "You kid is still dreaming, and I am the only one who is awake. That night in Bowo, you two went to the romantic and happy place, and I went to ask for advice from Zeng.Green shortcut people.  When the water is high in spring and summer, as you might imagine, a green walkway that is more than ten to thirty miles wide, with yellow sand on both sides, passes through the Sea of ??Death from south to north, which is a spectacle.  However, when the flow stops in autumn and winter, the river disappears. There may still be intermittent small oases, but they are not so easy to find and can easily be missed.  You'd better be prepared in your mind. During this stagnant season, few people cross the desert along this route. It's only better than other places in the Sea of ??Death.  "

    Long Ying smiled bitterly and said: "Are we going to venture into the desert again? Compared with Taklimakan, other deserts are just child's play." (To be continued)
