    After walking through the dry desert full of yellow sand, the beautiful scenery of the oasis gradually appeared in front of the men.  Perhaps only on the edge of the extremely harsh desert can such an otherworldly paradise exist.  Clear streams, lush vegetation, the fragrance of flowers wafting in the wind, endless green oasis grasslands, white birds flying over the water, it's like a fairyland!  "Haha" The laughter of the men came from all around. The soldiers happily ran to the stream and poured spring water on their faces wantonly. The smiling faces in the splashing water made Li Chuyun and others smile.  Li Chuyun looked at the vast land under the blue sky and white clouds for a long time, smiled and stroked his big beard under his red face, and praised loudly: "Feng'an, Feng'an, both plump and peaceful." The generals' shouts came from the distance, and the soldiers began to shout.  The horse waded through the creek in the rough mining field. On the quiet and beautiful oasis, the wet war horse's fur was smooth and smooth, and the vigorous son laughed and shouted. The place was quickly enveloped in a warm and noisy atmosphere.  The Chinese army rode their horses slowly through the creek, enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way.  Soon after, a ruined wall came into view ahead. Wei Renpu, the accompanying privy deputy, suddenly climbed down from his horse, threw the reins to the attendant leading the horse, and walked to the grass to pull out the weeds.  Li Chuyun and others reined in their horses one after another and looked at the broken stone tablet found by Wei Renpu.  Wei Renpu said without looking back: "The monument erected here by the Sui Dynasty army" Wei Renpu's voice was a bit strange. Li Chuyun couldn't help but look at his back and said casually: "That must be more than three hundred years ago." "Today we have  Back again" Li Chuyun was stunned, because at this time Wei Renpu's voice was completely out of shape and choked, and his eyes were red when he looked at him again.  Among the weeds, there are ruins and ruins, the walls are covered with soot burned by herdsmen, and there is no one in front of the desolate area.  But when I looked back, I saw a large number of galloping cavalry moving forward, with the sound of powerful hoofbeats and the rough roar of horses "Yes, we are back!" Li Chuyun also said with a slightly moved expression.  He gradually understood Wei Renpu¡¯s mood. What he cherished about the past was not the ruins of stone tablets or walls, nor the place of Feng¡¯an, but the magnanimity of the dynasty and the prosperity of the world!  Wei Renpu stood in front of the stone tablet, touching the Chinese characters on the old stone with tears in his eyes, and pondered for a long time.  Perhaps for a man with a big heart, his hometown is not just a third of an acre in his hometown, but the entire China and the vast land that the Han cavalry once set foot on.  Li Chuyun waited for a while, then rode away and summoned his generals to deploy the camps of each army, where the army would station and build forts.  The army was stationed in separate camps. It was not until dark that the tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry who arrived in batches were deployed.  The Chinese army was within an earthen wall. At this time, the bonfires were brightly lit on the grassland, and the firelight in the dark night made the wilderness even more prosperous.  Li Chuyun, Shi Yanchao, Wei Renpu, Zan Jurun and other top officials stayed in a tent, cooking broth around an earthen stove.  Several people looked at Wei Renpu a little strangely, probably because of the small things that happened during the day, but he had regained his composure by this time.  In the firelight, two soldiers unfolded the rolled thick paper sketch in the tent.  Wei Renpu walked over, took a look at it for himself, then turned around and said: "When Zhang Qian was on his mission and Emperor Sui visited the west, they all took Dadou Bago (Biandukou) to Ganzhou (Zhangye). But now Longyou Da  The troops are in the hands of the Tubo people, and we rely on the Lingzhou grain road, so the army has to take the north route to Hexi." He pointed at the yellowed map, "Now here is Feng'an, and to the west is the old city of Yuwei (Jingtai County).  ), two forts were built, firstly to store military supplies along the way, and secondly, to have strongholds to keep the food routes open. If the Tibetan tribes escape, they can negotiate peace and appease them so that our army will not act rashly.  Those who captured Liangzhou, Ganzhou, and Suzhou in Hexi Province can send secret envoys to the west to contact the Guiyi Army and engage the Guiyi Army to attack from the east and west.  The leader is a Tubo tribe, and there are also six Tubo tribes. Can Daxu's army attack the Tibetan tribes in Liangzhou and appease the Tibetan tribes in the south? "The tribes in the northwest are very complicated. Even Li Chuyun is not sure about it. He only listens to the civil servants.  It is roughly understood that the people in the Momo are the natives of Liangzhou They used to be slaves of the Tubo nobles. Not only the Tubos, but also the Han people and other slaves were mixed together. Later, the slaves in Hexi became free and independent, and they were called the Momo.  department.  At this time, Wei Renpu said: "Wei Mo is a native, and the Tubo tribes will not care about them at all. Although the Liugu tribe is a Tubo tribe, the Tubo tribes have already been divided. As long as they deal with it properly, they can still live in Qingtang."  , Lanzhou and other places." Zan Jurun said: "What Deputy Wei said is very true." Wei Renpu said to Li Chuyun, "What do you think?" Li Chuyun said: "Deputy Wei's strategy is very appropriate.  , Party members along the way canQingtang and other places were driven away to prevent them from disturbing the grain road in anger.  " Wei Renpu turned to look at Shi Yanchao again. Shi Yanchao was stunned: "What are you looking at me doing?  Just do what you say!  " Wei Renpu said calmly: "'Expelling' party members will inevitably cause innocent casualties. It is not a glorious thing. Shi Gong had better not go. It would be better to ask Feng Jiye to go when Feng Jiye arrives in Feng'an another day.  " Shi Yanchao snorted and was noncommittal. The soldiers stepped forward and stirred the soup in the iron pot with a spoon. Several of them had finished talking and stopped. Li Chuyun walked out of the tent and couldn't help but look up. The northwest sky was clear,  The stars in the sky were very bright, and Li Chuyun suddenly felt like the earth was not so solid, like an illusion floating in the sky. At this moment, two broken walls appeared.  There was a sound of horse neighing at the entrance of the central military camp. Li Chuyun came back to his senses and looked at the direction from which the movement came. The knight on the horse suddenly stopped and his front hooves flew up, and then there was a noise of questioning.  Li Chuyun then stood outside the tent and waited for a while. Soon the soldiers came over with a man leading a horse and reported: "Commander, this man is a messenger, coming from Lingzhou with news from Tokyo."  .  After hearing this, the messenger clasped his fists and said, "I'm going to pay my respects to the Founding Duke and the commander-in-chief of the Hexi Army, Li Gong."  "Then he delivered the lacquer-sealed letter. Li Chuyun glanced at the lacquer seal, took the things and turned around to put them in the account. The voice of the soldiers came from behind: "You wait here first. If you don't come to see me, we will take you there.  Settled.  " Li Chuyun walked into the tent, sat down behind the wooden desk on the north side, pulled out a knife and opened the seal. Wei Renpu immediately turned around when he saw this. "Letter from the Privy Council.  "Li Chuyun said, he took a look first, and the more he looked, the deeper his frown became. Wei Renpu looked at it, stepped forward and asked, "What did the Privy Council say?  " Li Chuyun handed over the letter. Wei Renpu also looked ugly after reading it: "The Liao army is dispatching troops in the northeast. Is it possible that they will invade in large numbers?  " The other two people also hurriedly took the letter from Wei Renpu and circulated it. Wei Renpu muttered: "The Liao people fought in Youzhou several times, with a lot of losses, and they were defeated at Wuding River; I heard that now a young boy is the leader of the country.  , still dare to raise troops to go south?  " Li Chuyun stroked the thick black beard on his chin and said nothing. Zan Jurun was carefully looking at the traces of the lacquer seal and the seal on the letter paper. Of course it would not be fake. Wei Renpu is a member of the Privy Council. If the letter is fake  , any clues will be revealed. Zan Jurun said: "It is said that Li Yiyin is among the Dangxiang tribal coalition. This guy has already colluded with the Liao people. Is the Liao army prepared to attack the east?  " Wei Renpu didn't say anything, and Zan Jurun felt a little embarrassed. Shi Yanchao just cursed: "Damn it, we came all the way here, are we still going to fight in the west?  " Zan Jurun took the opportunity to turn around and talk to Shi Yanchao: "The Privy Council letter didn't say anything, I just wanted to know the news.  " At this time, Li Chuyun finally slapped the chopping board: "Draft the strategy discussed tonight into a memorial and submit it to the court.  Before receiving military orders, act according to plan.  " Wei Renpu nodded in agreement and said: "The responsibilities of Duke Li and our former camp military office are to march to the west and cannot take care of the affairs of the northeast.  However, it is necessary to contact the Tokyo court as soon as possible. If the court fights on two fronts, our strategy must consider the risks more. At the same time, we write to Wang Shijun (Wang Pu) and ask him to inform the Bingcao Division as soon as possible. We must find out the Liao Dynasty  What's going on with the army?  " Li Chuyun said: "When the Liao people mobilized troops in the northeast, is it just a bluff?  " Wei Renpu said: "I can't say for sure, it's really unpredictableAlthough the Liao Kingdom lost Youyun, the cavalry is still strong. Otherwise, the situation would not be like this, and the grassland would have been in chaos!" At this time, the attendant came up and took a bowl to scoop out the food.  Broth, and a basket of dry wheat cakes heated by the fire were brought in. Everyone started eating and drinking. They were out on the expedition and rode horses every day. Even the civil servants had a good appetite.  The sound of slurping soup and chewing became quiet and dull. Li Chuyun had been following Guo Shao for many years and had rich experience in fighting in the north and south. He felt that something was not right at this time. He couldn't explain why, but he just relied on his strength.  Intuition At this time of the war, the intelligence of the scouts was not very accurate, and many things had to be guessed. As a general who could lead troops on his own for a long time, Li Chuyun was not a pure fool. His sense of smell was very sensitive, otherwise he would have been in many battles.  He had already fallen into the trap. There was a roar outside the account, and a cool breeze blew in from the door, causing the flames under the iron pot to sway and sparks to fly.He was stunned for a while in the uncertain firelight, then he picked up the bowl and took a sip as if nothing had happened. Then he tore off a piece of the wheat cake and put it in his mouth to chew. The military ration was very difficult to chew, but it tasted sweet after chewing for a while.  , not too unpalatable.  Wei Renpu threw the bowl on the ground, stood up and said: "I will borrow Mr. Li's pen and paper. I will write a memorial now and send a horse back to Beijing early tomorrow morning." For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotia.net
