Ganzhou Wei is located on the northwest border of Dasheng and belongs to Shaanzhou Prefecture.
Ganzhou Guard is located at the border, with Yilibaoli to the west, Oara to the northwest, and grassland tribes to the northeast. It is a proper place for the Four Battles.
However, there is a desert to the west out of Jiayuguan, and no one wants that broken land at all. Since the grassland tribes have had good relations with Dasheng Dynasty in recent years, they don't need to be on guard.
Chen Changqing led 100,000 troops to station here, mainly to guard against the Oara people.
At the border between the two countries, their respective armies are stationed, and there will be minor frictions from time to time. However, in recent years, the Oara people's armies have been mobilized frequently, and coupled with the intelligence from the imperial court, people have to strengthen their defenses.
To the west of Jiayuguan, on a hilltop, more than fifty cavalrymen were guarding a person in the middle.
This man was covered in fur, dark and muscular, with obvious Wala characteristics. At this time, he was holding a telescope and looking at Jiayuguan in the distance.
This telescope was a gift from Fuchardo, and it is said that he spent a lot of money to get it. It must be said that this wealthy man can always get some amazing and ingenious things.
This person is the commander of Oara, Cambri, from the Turte tribe, one of the four major tribes of Oara.
The Oara Kingdom used to be a multi-tribal country like the grasslands, but at that time there were only three major tribes and some inconspicuous small tribes.
The Turt tribe is one of these many small tribes, but Kambri relied on his bravery in combat and extraordinary strategy to snatch territory from other tribes, and eventually became the capital of the King of Oara.
The fourth largest tribe recognized by the Oara Kingdom.
Jiayuguan is the gateway to the northwest of Dasheng Dynasty. It is located between two mountains. It is known as the most powerful pass in the world. It is not that easy to break.
After observing for a while, Cambri sighed, turned his horse around, and the guards behind him quickly followed, and went down the mountain amidst the rumble of horse hooves.
Back at the camp, the Oara men were roasting mutton. Kambri took out his dagger and cut a piece of mutton nearby. Regardless of the sizzling fat on the mutton, he stuffed it directly into his mouth and started chewing it.
"Turgen, your skill at roasting lamb is getting better and better."
The man named Turgen laughed heartily: "It has cumin added to it. The commander likes it. I will roast a leg of lamb for you later."
"Hahahaha, then I'll be waiting for your roasted leg of lamb."
Cambri turned his head and walked towards his tent, but the smile was no longer on his face. The roasted lamb was so delicious because it contained cumin from Dasheng. This made him more determined to attack Dasheng.
.
As soon as we arrived at the camp, a man followed us in: "Commander, there is news from the king, saying that the Dasheng Dynasty has notified us that we have crossed the border and asked us to withdraw from Jiayuguan, three hundred miles away."
Kambuli sat down and asked, "What do you mean, Your Majesty?"
"The king's intention is to capture Jiayuguan first, and the army will arrive later."
Cambri frowned, but did not reveal the slightest bit of dissatisfaction in his heart.
He knew very well that King Wala was now using himself as a swordsman to attack Jiayuguan, and the people who lost were his own clansmen. In the end, it was the other three major families who came to take over the territory.
However, the Tourt tribe is the weakest among the four major families in Wala after all. If you want the tribe to develop and grow, this is the only way.
In Cambri's view, the best way is to secure the territory without losing many tribesmen.
The royal family and the other two major tribes want to take advantage of themselves so easily, how could Cambri be fooled.
"Go and report back to the king. Just say that we are short of supplies and ask the king to send more supplies. Otherwise, Jiayuguan will not be captured so easily."
"yes."
…
Due to the movement of the Wala people at the northwest border, Yang Xuan had to leave early. He took the four Ouyang brothers with him, as well as Lu Yue from Prince Hui's residence, and four people who came from Laojunguan. In addition,
Zhang Junbao, whom I haven’t seen for many days.
The emperor gave Yang Xuan face and incorporated these ten people into the Yulin Guard. Lu Yue was given the title of Xiaoqi because of his military experience, and the others were his subordinates.
However, Lu Yue was very sensible. He knew that they were actually Yang Xuan's personal guards, so he was quite polite to the others.
Ouyang and others also tried the moves with Lu Yue and admired his skills. Soon these people became one with each other.
In addition, the emperor also mobilized a hundred-man troop to accompany him and protect him along the way.
Ganzhou Guard is the western gateway of Shaanzhou. If Ganzhou is lost, the enemy can move eastward along the Qilian Mountains. The entire Shaanzhou is undefeated. If Shaanzhou is lost, the imperial court will need to station heavy troops in Bingzhou, but the enemy
The army can also go south into Shuzhou, in which case the imperial court will lose half of its territory.
Therefore, Ganzhou was very important to the imperial court, and Jiayuguan Pass, the westernmost part of the Ganzhou Guard, was the top priority.
When Yang Xuan came to Ganzhou, looking at the towering city walls, he could already feel the murderous atmosphere of this military city.
Although the city gate was busy, everyone was in a hurry, and almost everyone had serious expressions.
The most important thing is that no one outside the city came to greet him.
Although Yang Xuan was only in the sixth grade, he still held the post of supervisor of the army, yet he received such a cold reception.
Although Yang Xuan didn't care about these false courtesy, he could also see that there must be something wrong with it.
It was not convenient for the 100 soldiers to enter the city directly, so they could only wait outside the city. Yang Xuan took Lu Yue, Zhang Junbao and other guards into the city, and then went straight to the Admiral's Mansion.
At the gate of the Admiral's Mansion, Yang Xuan took out an official document identifying himself. The guard at the gate looked at it with an incredulous look and hurried in to report it.
After a while, the guard looked strange and let Yang Xuan in.
In the lobby of the Admiral's Mansion, there was a huge model. Yang Xuan took a look and estimated that it was a sand table of nearby mountains and rivers.
Looking at the people in the hall, in addition to the guards standing on both sides, there were seven or eight people gathered in front of the sand table to make gestures.
At first glance, the person in the upper position should be Chen Changqing. He is in his fifties, has a gray beard, a tall figure, and bright eyes.
Standing next to him was a middle-aged man with a white face and no beard. He was very different from the other people. Others could tell at a glance that he was a proper soldier. But this one was well-kept and looked like he had a delicate body.
If he were a little older, Yang Xuan would have thought that this guy was the shopkeeper of a certain business in Yingtian Mansion.
"Yang Xuan, I have met all of you, sir."
Yang Xuan bowed his hands and thought that the first person to speak would be Chen Changqing, but unexpectedly it was the middle-aged pretty boy.
The man slapped his forehead and stepped forward: "Oh my, it's the Lord Supervisor who has arrived. Look at my brain. As soon as I talked about the war with the Lord Admiral, I lost my mind and even forgot about the Lord Supervisor.
Oh, it’s so rude, so rude.”
The establishment of the position of military supervisor is in opposition to the general who leads the army. Those who are qualified to discuss military affairs with the admiral Chen Changqing are naturally the generals who lead the army. How can they have a good attitude when they see Yang Xuan.
The middle-aged man kept saying it was rude, but when the other generals heard that Yang Xuan was the supervisor, they all showed disdain.
Yang Xuan cupped his hands and said, "Don't you dare, dare I ask who this gentleman is?"
The middle-aged fair-skinned man held up his hands with a smile and said, "All the subordinates command me, Zhao Mo."
