Guzang City, the inner room of Liangzhou Thorn Mansion.

A middle-aged scribe stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, silently looking at the pot of orchids, while an official dressed too much was talking eagerly.

"Envoy! That Lu Guang has just defeated the Western Regions Alliance, and now his morale is strong, and he is invincible, but without the will of the Heavenly King, he sent the army back to the east without authorization, and there must be ghosts among them, so that the king must not be guarded against! ”

It was Yang Han, the Taishou of Gaochang County, who spoke to Guzang this time to report on his work, but before leaving, he learned the news that Lu Guang's 100,000 army had actually set off from Qiuzi City.

Liang Xi listened, but said lightly: "Lu Guang has no intention to return without permission, and Yu Li is naturally incompatible, but Zhang Dayu raised troops to make a rebellion, and now Guangwu has been lost, if you can use Lu Guang's troops to press the ground, Liangzhou can also be pacified as soon as possible, so as not to suffer the people." ”

Liang Xi is a very benevolent person, he has never liked sword wars, in his opinion, there is no other trick to governing the place, just do nothing, the people will live by themselves, why do they mix?

So, people like Zhang Dayu are the most hateful, your father Zhang Tianxi surrendered back then, His Majesty the King of Heaven did not kill your whole family, did not take your property, gave you an official position and a reward, what else is not satisfied? Where to find such a benevolent monarch?

But Zhang Dayu raised troops to make a rebellion, and he couldn't ignore it, just led the troops to fight, where was he good at? His Majesty the King of Heaven also transferred a lot of elites from Liangzhou during his southern expedition, and coupled with Liang Xi's hesitation when he was on the verge of the end, now Liangzhou is full of beacon fires, and there is a great tendency to burn the prairies.

Yang Han didn't care about this, and he didn't care about the humility of the upper and lower levels, he stepped forward directly, grabbed Liang Xi's sleeve, and said urgently: "Envoy, Lu Guangqi, wolf ambition, in the past, he was already famous when he was in Chang'an, and now if he enters Liangzhou, he must have a non-dividing thought, once he lures the wolf into the room, I am afraid it will be too late to regret it!" ”

Liang Xi was a little moved, frowned slightly, and turned around, "Then what do you say should be done?" ”

"Envoy! The land west of the river, with a radius of 100,000 soldiers, Liangzhou is enough to protect itself, if Lu Guang successfully crosses the Bailongdui area, its momentum will form a momentum of breaking bamboo, it will be difficult to stop. The mouth of the Gaochang Valley is a dangerous pass, which should be defended by soldiers and control the water source, so that Lu Guang can be put in a desperate situation of hunger and thirst, which is controlled by me. If you think that the mouth of Gaochang Valley is too far, it is okay to hold Yiwu Pass. Once Lu Guang crosses this pass, even Zhang Liang's plan will be useless. Therefore, if you follow the strategy of the lower officials, you only need tens of thousands of troops, and Gu Zang can fully afford it! ”

Liang Xi was still a little undecided, these military affairs were not an easy thing for him, after thinking about it, he felt that what Yang Han said seemed to be reasonable, so he continued, "What about Zhang Dayu's rebellion?" ”

"Envoy! Zhang Tianxi is in power, although there is no anger and resentment, but it is also perverse, although the Zhang family has a little hope among the people, but in the wealthy family, the reputation is not good, and Zhang Dayu is a person, the ambition is sparse, and there is no mastermind to plan for it, and after he raised the army, he did not take advantage of the situation to take Gu Zang, but to the river Huang movement, it can be seen that his people have no vision, and the lower officials concluded that this person will not be able to succeed, so that Jun can first hold the pass, prevent Lu Guang from entering the pass, and then turn back to deal with Zhang Dayu It is also too late, and then the Jun only needs to lead the army to fight in person, Zhang Dayu can be killed in one battle! ”

"Good! Do as you say! Liang Xi was very happy and was about to decorate, when suddenly, the bell rang at the door of his study. This bell is the signal when someone at his home in Chang'an comes to report the news.

The officials of the local feudal territory must always keep in touch with the central government, so that they can achieve policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom, and Liang Xi is naturally no exception.

Yang Han also knew the doorway here, and when he saw Liang Xi's bell ringing, he knew that something was wrong, so he asked Liang Xi to resign very interestingly.

Liang Xi waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, you are my confidant, why should you avoid it?" ”

Yang Han was greatly moved, and immediately said that he would be loyal to Liang Xi to death, and swore an oath. Throughout the ages, there have been so many sets of buying people's hearts, although they are old-fashioned, they still work.

Liang Xi walked up by himself and also shook the bell, and after a while, an old man dressed as a slave walked in quickly, only to see that he looked tired and dusty, obviously coming all the way.

"Lao Gen, why are you here in person? Is something going on at home? Liang Xi was very surprised, because over the years, the news was basically passed on by Lao Gen's son Xiaohe, and their family has served the Liang Xi family for generations, and there is no need to doubt their loyalty. And Lao Gen came in person, indicating that something must have happened, so Lao Gen had to come by himself.

"Whew...... Call. Lao Gen was obviously extremely tired, and he took a few big breaths before he struggled and said, "Master, it's not good...... Oh no, the King of Heaven is defeated...... Failed miserably...... The second son also sacrificed his life for the country......"

After speaking, Lao Gen couldn't support it anymore, fell to the ground, and fainted. Along the way, he had already lost his strength, and when he came in, he had to ring the bell before he could get in, which was equivalent to saying that he had been speeding rapidly, and then suddenly stopped, and then walked up again, where could the old man stand it?

Liang Xi was dumbfounded and defeated! The Heavenly King was really defeated!

How could the Heavenly King be defeated? That's an army of millions! And his own son, his own son!

"Ah~~~~" Liang Xi suddenly screamed, spurting out a mouthful of blood, and actually fainted to the ground.

The Assassin's Mansion suddenly became a mess.

The desert is vast, the yellow sand is all over the sky, and there is no sign of life at all.

However, on this desert, an army, braving the wind and sand, braving the heat of the day and the bitter cold of the night, is still persistently advancing eastward. They were tired, they didn't have much food and water, but their mood was high!

Because, they are walking on their way home.

Not long ago, it was the white dragon pile that everyone was afraid of, and the ghost was worried, and after the white dragon pile, Gaochang Pass was another threshold. The matter of returning to the east is easy to say, but in fact, it is also difficult and dangerous.

The so-called Bailongdui is Yanze, that is, the Yadan landform near Lop Nur in later generations, due to water erosion and wind erosion, the dry bottom of Lop Nur forms a long strip of mound group from northeast to southwest, stretching for hundreds of miles, lying in the northeast of Lop Nur area. Because the earthen platform of Bailongdui is made of gravel, gypsum mud and salt alkali, the color is grayish-white, and when there is sunlight, it will also reflect a little silver light, like a scale armor, so people call this vast Yadan group "White Dragon". From a distance, the white dragon pile is like a group of white dragons cruising in the sand sea, the white back appears and disappears in the waves, the head and tail are linked, boundless, and the momentum is magnificent.

It's just that at this time, Duan Ye's face was full of melancholy, because he knew that this place, even in the future generations, was a no-man's land, and the people who entered it almost didn't die and had to fade their skin, although the desert area in front of him was also very difficult, after all, the army still carried supplies, it was not terrible, the white dragon pile was a hell on earth.
