After getting off the train, he traveled west with Zhao Zi. Seeing that the yellow sand spread all the way and there were occasionally green grass, Zhang Sheng said, "General, this road is so desolate?"

Zhao Zi said: "Second envoy, this is the case all along the way. If it weren't for the black water flowing north and pouring out the Juyan Sea in the desert, this road would be ok. Now there is a railway. As long as there are water springs, you can be a station, without delay. Without railways, this road would be difficult to travel tightly. There are many water springs in Juyan, and as long as food and grass can be delivered in time, tens of thousands of troops can rest."

Zhang Sheng nodded and realized the hardships of this road. No wonder Zhao Zi was full of resentment when he talked about his daily life.

After walking for several days, I arrived at Juyan. From a distance, I saw an isolated city, not tall, lying next to the river. The city was surrounded by tents, which was the base of a large army. There were many elm willows on the road, and the poplar forests were endless beside the river.

"The bicycle wants to ask the border, and the country passes by Juyan. Wang Mojie's poem really describes the lonely city in the desert. It's just that the train passes here, it's better to go north and not build bridges on the river. In the desert, the river must have changed."

After hearing Zhang Sheng's words, Zhao Zi said, "Second envoy, this river does not have the same stable river as the mainland, and it sways around. Look at the river channel so wide, it is not like the mainland river. Jie Shuai is right. It is not suitable for reclamation here, so it is better to grazle."

Zhang Sheng nodded repeatedly, unable to speak. The scene here was too different from what he imagined and needed to adapt well.

After entering the city, Zhao Zi let out a breath and said, "It's not less than three thousand miles away. I have to wait for a good rest. Deputy envoy, you live in the city and ask me if you have anything to do. After leaving this city, Juyanhai is not far from the north, one east and one west, which is a wonderful scenery."

Zhang Sheng said: "There are thousands of miles of yellow sand here, but it is not like the mainland. You should leave it to see what good scenery is later."

While speaking, the two rode into the government office, and Zhao Zi arranged a residence for Zhang Sheng. In the evening, a banquet was held in the rear office, so Zhang Sheng could welcome him.

The city was full of garrisons, without civilians, and everything was organized by the military camp. After a few days of residence, Zhang Sheng felt that it was too monotonous and asked Zhao Zi for a small team of troops to go out of the city to relax.

Take people out of the city and walk north along the river. It was spring, and green was blooming in the river, and unknown wild flowers were still blooming. From time to time, water birds flew. The more you walked downstream, the wider the river became, slowly becoming a large area, and finally converged into a large lake.

When he arrived by the lake, he looked at the lake water that could not be seen at first sight. From time to time, the reeds shone green, and Zhang Sheng felt that his body and mind were much more open.

Guard Jia Xu said, "Taiwei, there are many fish and shrimps in the lake here, which is very easy to catch. Since we are here today, it is better to catch a few fish and go back and have a banquet with Taiwei Zhao at night. There is no caravan around Juyan, and there is no caravan walking here. It is extremely boring and there is only this kind of fun."

Zhang Sheng nodded and said, "Okay, send a few people to catch fish. Remember to be careful and don't make any mistakes."

Jia Xu agreed and sent a few soldiers to choose a place to catch fish. They were already familiar with this with the net.

Zhang Sheng rode his horse and saw a pile of sand beside him, which was the highest place nearby, so he took people up. When he arrived at the pile of sand, he saw a piece of blue water in front of him, boundless, and countless birds were flying nearby. There were weeds nearby, and green was shining.

After looking at it for a while, I couldn't help but praise: "What a great place! From here to the Western Regions, this place will definitely be a scenery!"

Jia Xu said: "This place is actually a very beautiful scenery, but the surrounding area is sparsely populated, the roads are blocked, and no one comes. When the railway is opened in the future, it is naturally different. At that time, many merchants will surely prosper."

Zhang Sheng nodded. There is such a place that Juyan can live here for a long time, otherwise it would be too monotonous.

Zhao Zi sat in the government office, processed some official documents, walked out of the room, and looked at the blue sky in the distance, and was a little dazed. In the past, he was not as tired as he is now. At that time, everything was ignored, and a few capable officials around him had to deal with all the matters, and he was happy to be free. After Du Zhongxiao's army reform, the officers had to handle official duties every day. Apart from the army, no idle people were allowed to stay in the army. Without help, there would be no entertainment.

Zhao Zi is a capable soldier and is not used to the current army. There was nothing in the mainland before, but since he arrived in Juyan, there was no one in the hundreds of miles, and his life was so monotonous that it was frustrating.

After sighing, Zhao Zi walked back and forth in the yard for a while, and then returned to the house. The army was stationed here, and every day was a daily matter, and each of them handled it. Zhao Zi actually didn't have much to do.

After sitting for a while, Zhao Zi asked the soldiers on the side: "Director Zhang went out of the city today to relax and go to Juyanhai?"

The soldiers said: "Return to the Taiwei, I heard that this is the case."

Zhao Zi sighed: "What a pity, I would have known that I would have gone with him. It would have been too boring to stay in the city."

The soldiers shut up and dared not answer.

Zhao Zi said: "Go and instruct the army to hold a banquet tonight and drink two glasses of wine with Deputy Envoy Zhang."

When the soldiers left, Zhao Zi held his cheek and looked out the window, feeling a little dazed. He was a soldier and was not afraid of marching and fighting, but this kind of life was too boring. Suddenly, Zhao Zi hoped that Chen Ximing, who was in the capital, would be greedy for the prosperous world of the capital and not return to Yizhou.

As long as Chen Ximing was willing to give up Yizhou, the court would definitely order Zhao Zi to lead his army westward and reenter the Western Regions. This opportunity to reappear the Han and Tang Dynasties, the court would definitely not give up. With railways, transportation is not a problem. With its own army of 50,000, no one in the Western Regions was an opponent at all.

Thinking of this, Zhao Zi sighed again, stood up, walked to the window to see the blue sky. The blue sky and white clouds in the sky were particularly melodious, appearing quiet and lofty. Occasionally, a few eagles swirled in the air, but I don’t know what they found.

Zhao Zi has been in such a monotonous life for nearly a year and is really tired of it. Although the scenery is good, there are always days to be tired of seeing it.

In Shengzhou City, Du Zhongxiao was on duty. He sat in the official office and looked at the official documents.

A soldier walked in quickly and said with his hands: "Jingshou, you will personally announce the official documents from the court!"

"Oh—" Du Zhongxiao raised his head, "Take it and see it."

After receiving the official document, Du Zhongxiao went to the cover and saw that it was from the Privy Council. It was straightforward and said that Chen Ximing had agreed to be defeated in the capital and would not return to Yizhou. A few days later, Chen Xizhi and Hu Shang who came to the capital would go to Shengzhou together, and ordered Du Zhongxiao to send troops to Yizhou with them.

Looking at the official document, Du Zhongxiao was stunned for a while before putting it on the desk.

This is the best result, but for Du Zhongxiao, this result came too quickly. At this time, the train had not arrived at Juyan, and even if Zhao Zi led his troops into Yizhou, he could only move forward in a small number, and the army could not go. Can one or two thousand people receive Yizhou in complete form?

Du Zhongxiao was in a clear mind about this. For Hequlu, Yizhou was a ripe fruit, and it was always his own. Now that the troops were sent in, the army could not follow, and it was a bit risky. If Gaochang suddenly attacked, the one or two thousand soldiers there would suffer.
