Wei Gao, as the governor of Xichuan and the governor of Yunnan, pointed to the Qionglai Mountain behind him, and said "starting from Qionglai Mountain", then pointed to the endless hills south, and went to the turbulent Dadu River, and said "to the Dadu River". "The place where Dadu River flew over, Kuqing, Tongshan, Pancang, and Liwu cities were all located in Wu Deng, Lianglin and Fengpa tribes lived, guarding Qionglai Pass, and their seals were inherited and replaced by the country. We, the governors of Shannan, swore to show favors to the Dongman on weekdays, and sent troops to assist the Dongman during wartime, and never lost their trust!"

Later, amid the cheers that soared into the sky, Wei Gao and Gao Yue presented three Dongman tribes with five hundred war horses, thousands of long slats, and more than a hundred armors. The great ghost master of the Dongman tribes gave countless cattle and sheep meat jerky to the Tang army for supply, and promised to send out 10,000 three barbarian soldiers to follow Fengyi, and the Dingwu army continued to go south and attack Zhuzhou.

However, Gao Yue and Wei Gao could see clearly that the entire Lizhou area was cut into two parts of the north and south by the Dadu River. Except for some of the military strongholds on the riverside and the important roads, the others were all mountains and countless heavy mountains and steep mountains. Now they could control the northern part of the Dadu River with the support of the three Eastern Man tribes. Therefore, between the two options of finding Xifan, Nanzhao's main force to fight to the decisive battle, and consolidating existing territory, Gao and Wei chose the former.

Wei Gao made a quick decision in Liwu City. He divided all the Dongman tribes into fifty-seven small ban prefectures. In the big aspect, Wu Deng, Lianglin and Fengpa were still in charge of the three major ghost masters. Then he allowed the Fengyi army to occupy the four strongholds around Liwu City, set up the four cities of Fan, Shenli, and Shankou, and allocated thousands of Fengyi generals to repair the city defense. At the same time, Wei Gao also asked the Dongman tribe to build a total of eleven Muzha Fortress along the Wuhou Ridge that stretched across Liwu City, and set up a total of eleven Muzha Fortresses one by one. He also set up the "Hanyuan Field" in the flat area twenty miles west of Liwu City, demarcating the addresses of fields and dicis, and preparing to leave some of the Fengyi army immediately, and to intervene with the Dongman area here to prepare for a long-term plan.

Ten days later, Xingyuan General Cai Fengyuan led the three thousand Dingwu generals and soldiers, crossed Qionglai Pass, and went to Liwu City to meet with the main force of the Jiedu governor Gao Yue.

At this time, Wei Gao left 800 Fengyi soldiers to guard the five military cities including the core Liwu City, and then led 6,000 generals and soldiers under him, including 7,000 Gao Yue Dingwu Army, and 8,000 "Dongman City, Yicheng", with a total of 21,000 people. He left Liwu City and rushed to Tongwang County, Dadu Hebei, to Hebei.

The Dadu River, which is isolated from the north and south, is only a hundred miles away from Liwu City, and the terrain is gradually eased, which is conducive to the army passing or forming a formation - Gao Yue and Wei Gao left the city 35 miles away, and went to Baimuyi to set up formations and continue to move forward - At this time, the scouts and Eastern Barbarians who were heading to Dadu Henan came to report one after another, and the soldiers of Xifan from the big gangs of from Zhuzhou to rush to the Taicheng City. Now they have crossed Papaya Ridge and are almost at Qingxi Pass.

"Qingxi Pass is the first pass to Zhuzhou, which is south of the Dadu River. It is located south of the Taicheng, and the south of the city is the three Fuchengs of Zhuzhou Lishu. Therefore, the gains and losses of Zhuzhou are all above the Qingxi Pass." Wei Gao pointed to the south in the military formation and said anxiously.

Gao Yue immediately asked the barbarians who were separated from the left and right, familiar with Li and geography: "What is the terrain of Qingxi Pass?"

The barbarians said that the widest part of the southern pass of Qingxi Pass is only more than meter, with the walls on both sides standing thousands of feet high, connecting mountains and valleys, and Qingxi below, which is the most dangerous place. However, although this pass is like this, there are many "detailed roads" in the mountains that can still be crossed.

"Where can it go?"

The barbarians replied that since Xifan sent a large army to guard the stage and guard Qingxi Pass, the passage between the East Man and Nanzhao was separated by them, so we used a machete to cut out several thin routes in the dense forest of the valley west of Qingxi Pass. These thin routes all went to the "North Valley" north of the city of Chengtai. The Beigu was the source of the Rope Water in the northwest of Chengtai. A large area of ​​river valley was cut out, and the Rope Water went straight to the bottom of Chengtai.

After hearing this news, Gao Yue and Wei Gao both had an idea almost at the same time and keenly realized that the opportunity for a surprise attack had arrived.

"To buy time, we need the Boyi soldiers." The two immediately made a decision, sending two generals, Ming Huaiyi from the Dingwu Army and Zhang Fen from the Fengyi Army, each leading 100 cavalry and 300 Eastern Barbarian soldiers to cross the Dadu River first!

In Tongwang County, the Dadu River roared and flew past. The rivers here were very different. If an ordinary boat sailed here, it would fall from a cliff suddenly, falling from one river section to another, and smashing to pieces, so it was named "六官网", which shows that it had swallowed so much life! The Tang army stood on the high bank of Hebei, and when they saw this scene, they couldn't help but feel scared.

But the Eastern Barbarians were familiar with hydrogeography. They had large rafts made of cowhide. From above, they looked like a flat square with long poles on all sides, which could flexibly circulate in the Dadu River. The boatmen were also very skilled and brave. Ming Huaiyi and Zhang Fen's two hundred cavalrymen, including men and horses, sat on these cowhide rafts, crossing the huge and terrifying whirlpools and going to the south bank.

"Dad, you are again..." Ming Huaiyi was riding a horse and fighting in the wastelands in the northwest. He was a fearless man, but now he was sticking out his butt and taking off his armor. He listened to the thunderous waves on all sides, and felt the danger of bumps and overturning in the torrent. His hands and feet were weak, and he could only lie on the raft, pulling the same frightened war horse. He asked the Bodhisattva for blessing in his heart, and scolded himself, the father named Gao, and he didn't know what support he finally reached the south bank.

After arriving at the south bank, Ming Huaiyi, a devout believer who had just converted to the Pure Land Sect, knelt on the river sand ground, took out the rosary from his clothes, vomited and drank a few times, and then meditated on the spot, chanting many Namo Amitabha Buddha, but his mind was still dizzy. His two younger brothers sent him armor to hang them, and people and horses around him neighed, "Get on your horse quickly, the military discipline is the strictest, and you cannot delay it."

Ming Huaiyi stood up straight, put on his armor, and put on his snails. As a result, his feet were not in control when he got on the horse and almost fell down...

Soon, in front of Qingxi Pass, a "big group" of Tang army cavalry appeared, and led the Eastern Barbarians, arrogantly spreading flags to the high hills of the valleys, and the smoke and dust raised from horse hooves covered the sky and the sun.

The Xifan soldiers who were guarding the Qingxiguan Military Fort did not dare to neglect them. They hurriedly lit the urgent beacon and asked for help from the main force of the brigade who was climbing over Papaya Ridge.

Zanpu once ordered to order a 70,000 army to go to Zhuozhou to fight against the troops that might have attacked the Tang army.

Zamp guessed the intentions of Gao Yue and Wei Gao correctly.

But unfortunately, the 70,000 troops expected by Zamp did not have time to assemble at the same time.

At this time, only the troops sent by Qinghai and Shenchuan gathered at the city of Dengtai, and together with the troops of Lunqiran, the troops of Lunqiran, the total strength mastered by the South Dalian Lunun Mangre was about 40,000.

So when it comes to Mangre and Re dare not be reckless, especially after Qingxi Pass reported that a large number of Tang army cavalry appeared outside the Pass, he became even more cautious: have the Tang army all crossed the Dadu River?
