The Kongque River flows through the desert. The ancient Loulan Kingdom has disappeared, leaving only the yellow sand in the sky. Only the poplar trees by the river are dotted with a few touches of fresh green.
Camel Mountain is located to the north of the Kongque River, and is connected to hills from west to east, including Dragonfly Mountain, Baiyungang, and Kaiping Gang. They are all bare. There are only yellow stones, gravel, and beacon towers from the Han and Tang Dynasties on the mountains.
After Li Guangli destroyed the Quli Kingdom, the Han Dynasty set up a beacon line along the Kongque River, from Luntai and Yuli to Lop Nur and then to Yumen Pass.
More than a thousand years have passed, and the defense lines of the Song Dynasty have retreated to the Yangtze River, but these beacon towers made of loess still stand here.
I don't know what they are waiting for or guarding.
Li Xia walked up the hillside, slowly stretched out his hand and touched the cracked loess walls, feeling their loneliness. He thought of the sounds that echoed in his ears before setting off on this trip.
"Why would the king venture to such a distant place?"
Today, I walked around behind Hedan and walked farther than the enemy's station. I can still see the relics of the Han Dynasty. Is it far? What separates us is not the territory, but the people's hearts and perseverance.
Looking back to the west, I can see that the continuous mountains only reach the foot, and then gradually become flat further to the west. The Kongque River is like a belt dropped in the desert, and the area of the oasis at the junction of heaven and earth is gradually expanding.
.
A hundred miles away is Hedan's camp.
Although Camel Mountain is not as dangerous as Diaoyu City, compared to Lop Nur, it is located upstream and at a high place, so the location is much better.
Of course, Lop Nur also has advantages. The oasis is larger and can support more soldiers and horses.
These are the approximate terrain advantages and disadvantages of both sides, which have basically been determined. Let’s look at the weather.
Li Xia was thinking about when the decisive battle with Hedan would take place.
If it's too early, it's not appropriate.
Nearly 70,000 Hedan troops have been stationed in the oasis for some time. Even if they can drink mare milk and eat horse meat, the logistical pressure will gradually appear. After a period of confrontation, let the Hedan Demon Corporal soldiers see if 70,000 people dare not
How cowardly is it to attack 20,000 people? Morale will definitely decline.
But if it's too late, it's not okay.
If Prime Minister Yelu really integrates and brings over Akumari's 100,000 troops, the gap in military strength will be too big.
After thinking about it, I think this is a good time to seize.
It is better to grasp the coordination with the Hexi Army in the east and the soldiers and horses at Yumen Pass.
After thinking about this, Li Xia called Hu Legen and said: "Recruit all the detective horses with the best riding skills. I have a military order to pass to Lin Zi and Song He."
For him, the 20,000 Chagatai Khanate cavalry under the command were still not as reliable as the thousands of his own troops.
Half a day later, cavalrymen from the Guiyi Battalion left Camel Mountain, bypassed Lop Nur to the south, then turned around and headed for the Wind Erosion Valley.
"Stop them!"
"Chase!"
Hedan's scouting horses were scattered within a radius of more than fifty miles from Lop Nur. When they discovered that these arrogant cavalry were trying to bypass this area, they quickly caught up with them.
The Uighurs wearing Yuan army uniforms chased the Mongolians wearing Song army uniforms for more than ten miles.
The arrow shot more than a hundred steps away and fell to the ground.@essence_书馆…j_h_s_s_d_c_o_mFirst.issue.Update.new~~
"Ah Nang is dead."
The soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty finally reined in the reins with curses and stopped chasing. They reluctantly reported the news to their generals and said in a matter-of-fact tone: "Of course we can't catch up with those Mongolian cavalry..."
This is also true.
Most of the cavalry under Hu Legen's command were those who accompanied Wu Liang in Tainan's expedition to Dali. They may not be as good as Kublai Khan's cowardly Xue army, but they are indeed much more elite than the garrison in the Western Regions that has not experienced war for a long time. And these expeditions
The elite Mongolian troops in Dali were repulsed by the Song army time and again in the past twenty years.
However, many people thought that the Song army was weak.
The Song Kingdom does always give people a feeling of being easy to bully. No matter who they are, they feel that as long as they send their troops south, they can destroy the Song Kingdom immediately. Therefore, the news that Li Xia's exploration horse failed to catch up today reached the Hedan tent, and several
The captains of thousands and the captains of thousands began to mock him one after another.

"Everyone talks about Li Xia's advantages and disadvantages, but where are his disadvantages? He can only rely on our Mongolian bravery to fight the war."
"What kind of warrior? They are all traitors!"
"It is because there are too many traitors that the Song people, who are weaker than Mongolian women, bully us."
These people have a barbaric character and cannot speak elegant words. As soon as they talk about women, the topic gradually turns to how to break into Yumen Pass. The depressed atmosphere after Chachaer was defeated yesterday has improved a lot, and the rustic atmosphere has gradually become higher.
Suddenly, there was a loud "bang", but Hedan couldn't stand it any longer, so he picked up the big tiger-skin chair left by Brother Ali and smashed it on the ground." Today Dahan is going to cross the Jinsha River.
Are you here to brag? Underestimating the enemy? Try to underestimate the enemy again, Uh-huh!"
Everyone in the tent was shocked. Many of them did not understand the metaphor in Hedan's words. After all, they had not experienced the hardship of crossing the river in a leather bag. Hedan had no chair, so he had to stand up and take a few steps, but he didn't.
Let’s continue talking immediately.
He did not want his subordinates to underestimate the enemy. There were many Mongolians under Li Xia's command, who were afraid of the Yuan'er people, but the fact that these people were able to obey Li Xia just showed that Li Xia should not be underestimated. However, it was not advisable to praise his opponents too much, which would make him feel guilty.
The link of analyzing the opponent was skipped, and everyone then discussed how to fight this battle.
"If you want to fight, you have to fight quickly!"
Chachaer suffered a huge defeat one day and lost all his big teeth. At this time, his speech was unclear, but his attitude was very clear.
I am not underestimating the enemy, Zong Wang. Luo Bumin is so close to Yumen Pass. If it takes a long time and the reinforcements from the Gou Song people arrive first, it is better to attack now.
Mongolians don't have any rules when it comes to discussing matters. Someone burst out laughing after hearing Cha Cha'er's voice. "I said Cha Cha'er, can you still eat meat now?"
"Of course I can only drink milk, Exiute!"
Hedan frowned, not liking this noisy scene.
He did not support sinicization, but he had stayed in Kaiping and Yanjing, and then returned to the Western Regions, and felt that these people were vulgar. Vulgarity meant that they did not understand etiquette and did not show respect for him as the king of the clan.
Looking at the situation again, Chachaer's words make sense. Li Zengbo is attacking Xingqing Mansion, and he cannot be delayed until he returns to the army.
But if we start the war now, we might lose.
He Dan looked at a young man sitting silently by the tent. This was another person who had fought head-on with Li Xia.
"Yamu Hu'er, what do you think?"
"Li Xia dared to come to the Kongque River, which shows that he is very confident." Yao Muhu said. He used five hundred people to defeat Abu's four thousand people, and five thousand people to defeat our twenty thousand people. Now
, he has 20,000 people...
Many people in the big tent sneered and glanced sideways at Yao Muhuer, all expressing contempt.
This is the son of Brother Ali. He is so cowardly that he deserves to be a descendant of the Golden Family. If Hedan hadn't just gotten angry because of their underestimation of the enemy, they would have laughed at this moment. Feeling this atmosphere,
Yao Mu suddenly stopped narrating and lowered his head.
The humiliation caused by failure is such that it often hurts the heart.
"Keep talking," Hedan said.
"What I mean is, if we are going to fight Li Xia, why not use a conspiracy to attack Yumen Pass?"
"No, Li Xia didn't bring many people out of the pass. There are still traitors like Lian Xixian guarding Yumen Pass..."
There were only these choices. After asking around, Hedan suddenly found that his idea was actually very clear.
He wanted to stand still and wait for Yelv Zhu to bring reinforcements to surround Li Xia.
After the military meeting that day, Hedan returned to his sleeping tent alone, but he took out an unexpected letter he had received today from his arms. He frowned and opened it with disgust.
"My beloved uncle Hedan, have you forgotten that you are also a member of the Ogedei family? Why are you working so hard for the Tolei family? You have forgotten that your great grandfather Genghis Khan once said that as long as Ogedai
Any offspring that feeds on milk will inherit the position of Great Khan before others..."
The hatred for Guiyou and the respect and love for Kublai Khan were intertwined in his mind, and Hedan tore up the letter.

The shredded papers fell to the ground. He glanced at them and said to himself: "Can't be defeated..."
The ninth day of June.
This was Li Xia's fifth day stationed in Luotuo Mountain. He finally received a reply from Lin Zi, Song He and others.
As early as when he was still at Taitma Lake, he handed over the order and sent it to Yumen Pass. But since then he has been on the march, and it is not convenient for him to receive the news from Yumen Pass.
Still have to wait until now to restore contact.
Several letters were secret documents. Song He was just following the steps, leading the Hexi Army to involve Hedan in the east of Lop Nur. He also stated that he would arrange the expedition horses and would not fall into siege. If the Yuan Army wanted to attack him, he would retreat to consume him.
The enemy is like this.
After deciphering Lin Zi's letter and reading a few sentences, Li Xia's eyes became serious.
"Did the Military Intelligence Department send someone to report to me face to face?"
"Your Majesty, yes."
"Let him in."
After a while, a man dressed as a business traveler walked into Li Xia's camp.
"Your Majesty, I am among the third group sent by the Military Intelligence Department to Gaochang City. At first, no progress was made. It was not until Daoist Master Yu contacted me that I learned that he had entered the palace..."
"Entered an official?"
"yes."
The spy from the Military Intelligence Department carefully recounted his experience in Gaochang City, and finally said: "So I followed the Queen of Gaochang's good office caravan all the way back to Yumen Pass."
"Which route?"
"After passing Hamili, we lied that we were going east to Jiuyuan City, but in fact we turned south and passed through Xingxing Gorge via a small road. The road was not easy to walk, so we abandoned a lot of goods."
"Were the Mongolian troops conducting strict checks along the way?"
"Yan, but you didn't stop the mediation caravan."
"How many troops can it pass?"
"It's better to have troops, but I can't carry the baggage."
Li Xia knew the rest of the matter very clearly, it was exactly what Lin Zi wrote in his letter.
When Lin Zi received the news from Yu Dechen, Li Xia was meeting with Ali Buge in the desert, so Lin Zi sent a letter to Suzhou to ask Lian Xixian for a decision.
When Li Xia left the Western Regions this time, the first thing he did was to go to Lanzhou to meet Lian Xixian and discuss the follow-up plan with him.
One is to continue to supervise the logistics of Li Zengbo's attack on Xingqing Mansion, and the other is to prepare for the Gansu Road.
The third thing to do is to move Lian Xixian to Suzhou when generals like Lu Xiaoyou and Song He leave the pass one after another to ensure that nothing goes wrong in Yumen Pass. This is why Li Xia can patiently confront He Dan.
I am not afraid that Hedan will attack Yumen Pass.
However, after Lin Zi read this letter, one sentence made him worried. "Lian Gong then personally led two thousand people to make a surprise attack on Gaochang..."
Li Xia was worried.
The two people he trusted most were Zhang Jue and Lian Xixian. He handed over the two most important gates in the north and west to them and never asked questions.
But this time I felt that Lian Xixian was too impulsive.
However, when I opened Lian Xixian's letter next, the first thing that stood out was "Please be patient, Mr. Li will defeat Xingqing in the near future."
Li Xia finally breathed a sigh of relief...
