From Jingzhao Mansion to Lanzhou 1,400 miles, Hong Tao's team arrived outside Lanzhou on the fifteenth day at a speed of 100 miles a day.

At this time, the scale of Lanzhou City was much smaller than that of later generations, less than two miles long and less than one mile wide. Moreover, Lanzhou at this time was a lower state, with a small number of residents, less than 500 households.

The administrative divisions of the Northern Song Dynasty were very finely divided, and in addition to the roads, the following states were divided into four prefectures, prefectures, military, and prisons. Those that are more economically developed than the state are called the government, those that are more important than the military of the state are called the army, and those that are completely an industrial base are called prisons.

According to the degree of economic and population development, the prefecture is divided into six categories: Wang, Xiong, Tight, Upper, Middle, and Lower. Lanzhou is in Qinfeng Road, if calculated according to the GDP of later generations, it is the penultimate first.

This is not to say that Lanzhou should be economically backward and lack resources, but because of the massive internal migration of people and the abandonment of cultivated land caused by years of war. As a first-tier city to resist the attack of Western Xia, Lanzhou can no longer be called a city, and it is more appropriate to describe it as a fortress.

And at present, this devastated ancient city has little future, and the imperial court has long been discussing the issue of whether to rebuild Lanzhou City. Due to the continuous siltation and diversion of the Yellow River, the city of Lanzhou, which originally relied on the Yellow River, has become farther and farther away from the riverbank.

As a result, the city's ability to defend itself against the river was greatly reduced, and Song Shenzong and Wang Anshi were trying to convince the courtiers to build another new city north of Lanzhou to turn the city into an impregnable fortress.

In view of this situation, Hong Tao did not plan to go in for sightseeing, because there was nothing in it except the forbidden army. Moreover, the guards here were also very nervous when they saw this strange-looking forbidden army, and almost closed the city gates.

People are tired enough to guard against the Western Xia army across the river all day, and they don't plan to help, so don't add to the chaos. Don't even stay less, add a little to eat and drink, and get out of here!

The Lanzhou guard general was quite polite after learning that it was Huangzhou Jinglu who pacified the envoy's team, and specially sent someone to ask if he needed a guide. Because after crossing the Yellow River, there is a plateau area, and the road is very difficult to navigate, and it is difficult for non-locals to accurately identify the direction.

Hong Tao refused the kindness of the guards, he would rather believe Fu Ji than trust other strangers, in case they brought him into the territory of Western Xia, it would be lively.

There is about more than 300 miles of road from Lanzhou to Huangzhou City, according to Fu Ji's statement, go west through Xiguanbao and Jingyuguan, cross the Yellow River from a place called Xiaocigoudu, and then pass through Tongchuan Fort, Bazongcheng, Anlongzhai and Tonghuangzhai along the north bank of Huangshui, and arrive at it.

She said it quite lightly, but when Hong Tao saw the clear and distinct waters formed by the confluence of the Yellow River and the Huangshui at the Xiaocigou ferry, he immediately realized where he had arrived and what the road ahead would be.

This is the later Beijing-Tibet Expressway, which is the Lanzhou to Xining section of the G6. When I drove to Tibet, I walked this road and was deeply impressed.

Because from Xining further ahead is the Qinghai-Tibet Highway, the altitude is basically more than 4,000 meters, and it is very easy to produce high reactions. This area was sparsely populated in later generations, with hundreds of kilometers of no-man's land along the way, with no gas stations, shops and villages.

A thousand years ago, there were no highways, so you could only walk along the path trodden by camel caravans and sheep halfway up the mountain. The 300 li here and the 300 li in the plains and hills are really not the same, and the hardships can be imagined.

"From now on, it will not be a drill, all personnel will enter a combat state, all non-combatants will move forward by car instead, the camel team of the shopkeeper will open the road in front, and Commander Miao will be responsible for breaking the rear. The front army carries three bodies and a swarm of bees, and the rear army also has three, and if there is an abnormality, you don't have to wait for my order to dispose of it yourself. Remember my words, a hundred strangers are not as valuable as the lives of any of us, and there is no need to determine whether the other party is a threat or not, as long as you try to get close and do not listen to the block, shoot immediately. If the killing ring is opened, it is necessary to be completely annihilated, there is no need to live, and no one is allowed to escape and report the news, and all the consequences will be borne by the official. In addition, the daily march mileage was reduced to thirty miles, and every night the camp was set up for half an hour in the morning and half an hour in the morning, and bonfires were to be lit around the camp at night, and double sentry posts were to be dispatched! ”

When all the horses and vehicles had crossed the crossing, Hong Tao gathered everyone together and announced that they had entered the highest alert, that they would be what they were when they were fighting, and that they would kill people without asking the reasons and whether they were right or wrong, and that they would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one reactionary slogan.

He is really afraid, in this broken ravine, once he is entangled, there will be countless troubles, and when the time comes, the earth and the earth will not be spiritual, and he will not even be able to escape.

"For Your Majesty, for the Great Song Dynasty! For Your Majesty, for the Great Song Dynasty! For Your Majesty, for the Great Song Dynasty! Before Fu Ji and Miao Kui could react, the group of children took the lead in making a statement. They have no fear on their faces, and they dare not show it, which will be laughed at by their peers and ostracized by the group.

“…… I'll go and arrange someone to explore the way first...... "Fu Ji doesn't understand the changes in these children, although they are not very gregarious when they are in Kaifeng City, they are polite every time they see them, how can they become like this after more than half a year."

“…… Then they ...... "Miao Kui knows more about these children than Fu Ji, after all, Weiqiao Town is not too big, and these children have to train every day, although the intensity is not as strong as the forbidden army, but the degree of hard work is really not weak.

As for why the colt had to train so many girls to serve the country, he couldn't understand. If you want to say that the concubine has two hearts to raise a private army, these children are His Majesty when they open their mouths, and they are the Great Song Dynasty when they shut up, and they have never mentioned half a word about loyal horses. And it doesn't look like it's pretending, and it's a child's talk. If the generals of the Great Song Dynasty were raising private troops like this, the emperor would have to wake up laughing in his dreams.

"Each group of ten people followed the rear army, and they changed every two hours. They are also considered combatants, how can they fight if they will be held back even on the march? Hong Tao was even more ruthless than Miao Kui imagined, and actually let these children follow the combat troops in batches, if they really fight, death and injury will definitely be inevitable.

"The children's regiment listens to the order, and the Salesian Bureau regiment ranks in odd and even numbers, the odd number comes first, the even number comes last, and the Weiqiao Town regiment follows it and ranks up!" Wang Da didn't think it was abuse, but was very excited, inserted his small waist, and gave orders in a crisp voice.

The children who heard the order did not hesitate for a moment, and began to line up in small steps, and soon lined up in four rows. In comparison, the queue from Wang Da to Wang 18 was faster and more neat, and the children who were sheltered in Weiqiao Town were slightly slower.

Within the children's group, factions have begun to be divided, and Wang Da and the others are all from the Kaifeng Salesian Bureau, and they started early, so they looked down on these children who came after.

In Weiqiao Town and Chang'an City, the proportion of children in custody is slightly higher, and the spirit of competition is also quite strong. During weekday training, the two sides secretly competed, and gradually formed two groups, the Salesian Bureau Regiment and the Weiqiao Town Regiment.

Hong Tao not only ignored this kind of gang-forming activities but also pretended not to see it, and sometimes even deliberately provoked a fight between the two regiments, and then watched the jokes on the side.

"Where there are people, there is fighting, and instead of letting them use their minds on me together, it is better to consume each other, and the officials can sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman."

Lian'er once asked why the horse deliberately didn't care about this question, and Hong Tao replied very shamelessly, he actually learned to play with people, and thought it was true.

I don't know if it's lucky, or if it's cold and the robbery didn't come out, I walked around in the mountains for four days, and I saw that I was about to reach Tongchuan Fort, and I didn't see a robbery.

The herdsmen had seen several waves, but when they saw such a strange procession, they drove the cattle and sheep to flee without waiting for warning, for fear of being robbed.

"Oh my mother, I can see the flat ground, whether there are bandits or not, go down and rest for a few days before leaving, my head is about to swell, my lord."

Tongchuan Fort is on the north bank of Huangshui, a river valley basin with a much lower elevation. As soon as Hong Tao found this basin, he climbed out of the car, and even though he had a headache, he had to ride a few steps faster.

None of the other people's altitude sickness is too serious, but he can't do it, and he can sleep for less than three hours a day, and he is about to become an eagle. If you continue like this, it is estimated that if you can't appease the yamen, you will have to die.
