I went to Shazhou because the weather became warmer because of the hustle and bustle of land.

There are large rows of green pine trees, towering like guards. Below the green pine trees is a shiny river, like a glass, flowing quietly to the distant Lop Nur.

Of course, it will also become very cold at night, but it is still early now. The sun shines warmly on a large area of ​​infinite sand, shining with a golden color.

However, the girl came from a distance and brought a cold air from outside the mountains to the north, and the air suddenly felt a sense of coldness.

But Wang Hua met him, or he was somewhat looking forward to it from his heart, hoping that this beauty in the Ice would bring him good news.

He did not bow down, and Wang Hua did not expect her to bow down.

But he spoke. The sound of ice edges colliding came from under the thick curtain. He said, "I heard some news, but I can't do anything about the rest."

"Thank you, Master Yunxiu, what news? Please tell me." Ao said Kuang Shan

"The leader of the army that encircled the Blood Camp was named Dunge. Since Xiaoying General led the army to break out, the other troops did not go north after learning that the main force of the Blood Camp went south. They began to set up a heavy siege in the Geluo: area and prepared to set up another obstacle. Later, when they learned that Xiaoying General suddenly changed the southwest and unexpectedly rushed to Tuqishi's abdomen, Wuzhile did not dare to let tens of thousands of Eastern Turks cooperate with him.

This is also the second key to this battle. If Xiao Song unexpectedly breaks through the gap and is blocked by Geluo, as long as the time is not long, several armies will catch up immediately, even after Guo Yuanzhen learns the news, it will be beyond the reach. The result will still be the same, and the entire army may be wiped out.

Wang Hua murmured: "Gelu!"

"But because of his anger, Uzzile ordered Dunge to wipe out all the hundreds of blood battalions soldiers who left behind the cover. During that period, the hundreds of blood battalions soldiers who stayed behind the palace fought very hard. They tried to break out of the siege many times, but they failed. Instead, they forced themselves to the northwest step by step and chased for nearly ten days. Because there were many places in the terrain that were swamps, with supply difficulties, large areas and cold weather. In the end, Dunge Dunge lost more than 2,000 soldiers and was forced to return on the ninth day of the 10th."

"Master Yunxiu, wait a moment, let's go into the city before Wang Hua was confused after hearing this. The place where the battle was originally very far away. If you break north for ten days, the soldiers of the Blood Battalion are not infantry, they are all cavalry. What is the distance of ten days?

Yun Xiu was not in a hurry and followed Wang Hua into the city. After joining Guo Yuanzhen to complete the 7,000 Blood Camp soldiers, he entered the Governor's Mansion.

Wang Hua had mixed feelings towards her. He didn't know what to say, but when others knew her identity, they admired her very much. Even Guo Yuanzhen secretly convinced her. This is the real Taoist scholar. He is calm and light, and the mountains of Tai will not lose his beauty.

Wang Hua asked Guo Yuanzhen to bring a large map of the Western Regions, but Wang Hua spread a larger piece of white paper on this map, and the battle from Bangong Mountain was beyond the range marked on this map.

Wang Hua first marked Bangong Mountain based on Xiao Song's description. But Xiao Song frowned and said, "That grassland is very big. The scouts explored the terrain, from the northwest direction of the grass boat and the north, there are endless swamps."

After saying that, he looked worried.

Wang Hua also looked anxious, which was forced by the people who were thrust into the marching battle. In marching, there are several types of terrain that are taboos in marching, and swamps are one of them.

The Long March that the Red Army is most worthy of singing is not to force the Dadu River or cross the Jinsha River several times, but to cross the snow-capped mountains and grasslands.

However, it is different from the dense grassy quagmire pools that the Red Army passed by. The Siberian Everglades mud is less dense. In many places, there are still dry terrain. In some places, there are dense quagmire pools. Because there are many frozen soil, it will be relatively less harmful to human activities.

But the swamp is a swamp after all. No one is willing to enter without being forced into a desperate situation.

Yun Xiu said: "They sacrifice is very big. I don't know how many people are left, but Tuqishi once counted their horses' marks, and in the end there were 240 marks of war horses. Considering that some stagnant horses were used, it is estimated that the remaining soldiers are now reduced to less than 200. The only thing is that their supply is not a problem."

"Why?" Wang Hua and Guo Yuanzhen asked strangely.

If you are in the grassland department, supply may not be a problem, but the origin is not easy to explain. But when you arrive in these places, Yunxiu did not explain it, and he also knew that it was a place where there was no trace of people. The most worrying thing is supply. How can Yunxiu say that supply is not a problem now?

"I don't know, but I heard that after going north, there were many rivers that had already been sealed with ice. There were many fish in the river. The soldiers of the Blood Camp survived by breaking the ice and fishing. The people of Tuqishi have also learned the method of the Blood Camp soldiers, but they are too many. Therefore, it is easier to supply the Blood Camp, which is not good for the Tuqishi army.

All three of them are among the people, and they can understand it as soon as they think about it.

There are not many soldiers left in the Blood Camp, only a few hundred people. As long as they are in a very small area, they can hunt and catch scum, they can get enough food. However, the chasing soldiers may be thousands or tens of thousands. There are also ways to divide the soldiers into countless groups to capture food, but that is possible because of insufficient troops, the soldiers of the Blood Camp will be surrounded calmly. Once they are concentrated, there will be a large number of people, and the source of food will be captured will inevitably be tense.

But it also proved that Xiao Song's battle, the attack on the thunder cavalry made Wu Zhile angry and issued strict orders, so that he ignored the danger of the terrain. The army ambushed in Bangong Mountain also followed the people from the Blood Camp into the swamp.

Yun Xiu said again: "After the evacuation of Brother Jia, he sent another scout to inspect, and they were still evacuating to the north. Brother Dun gave up completely and quickly evacuated with his army. This time, half of the losses of Brother Dun's more than 2,000 soldiers came from non-combat reductions and fell into a swamp.

Wang Hua thought about it and continued to draw some terrain on the map, including the Arctic Ocean and the Ural Mountains.

Guo Yuanzhen pointed to the Arctic Ocean and asked, "What kind of sea is this?"

Wang Hua smiled bitterly and said, "This is the end of the world."

"The end of the world?" Guo Yuanzhen murmured to himself, but looking at this large map of changing directions, he had never been to many places. He was not a purely military general, but a literati. He had never seen relevant historical records.

As for how Wang Hua knew? It's not now

Wang Hua estimated their approximate itinerary again, drew a thick arrow, pointed it to the northwest, and stopped not far from the Arctic Ocean. He stood up, his face turned extremely ugly.

In fact, it is possible that nomadic people arrived at the Arctic Ocean very early, but this path was not the way. They set off from Lake Baikal in summer, crossing countless mountains and ridges and heading north. Then to the Central Siberian Plateau and reaching the Arctic Ocean, there were white bear skins appearing in the Jin and Liao dynasties, which was hunted near the Arctic Ocean. However, the first record of the army's arrival was in the Yuan Dynasty. The historical records of the sun never sets, which is a mountain range in the Arctic Circle when the summer is at its peak.

Now history has changed again, but the situation is so sad, and in this season, it is still such a terrain.

Guo Yuanzhen didn't know the situation in the North Pole, but saw Wang Hua's expression suddenly turned ashen. He also judged where the terrain might be worse than the swamp.

Wang Hua paused and said, "I understand their goal."

"What goal?" Xiao Gao asked with concern.

In fact, the one who apologized the most for these 500 soldiers was them. Zhang Xiaosong and others left the opportunity to live for themselves, but forced themselves and their team into a dead end that had no chance of life.

Wang Hua said: "After they saw the Tuqi Shi army withdrawing, they continued to move north. First, they completely escaped the enemy's pursuit, and second, they were taking advantage of the cold to move westward."

“Use the cold?”

"Yes. Governor Guo, although the temperature in Shazhou is very high during the day, it is still very cold at night, right?

Guo Yuanzhen nodded and entered late November. The temperature in Shazhou at night may reach minus 20 degrees Celsius. However, there is no thermometer now, which accurately measures the specific temperature. However, when it is at night, some shallower ditches can freeze to the bottom of the river.

"Where is the temperature that may be ten times lower than here."

After hearing Wang Hua's words, Guo Yuanzhen understood why Wang Hua's expression became even more powerful after hearing the blood camp march north for ten days.

"It is possible that there is no sun in some places. But there is only one advantage. In this extremely cold temperature, whether it is water or soil, it completely forms thick ice. Even in October, the temperature is hard for ordinary people to imagine. The biggest harm of the swamp is the quagmire. Under this extreme temperature, even the quagmire has become thick ice. It is so thick that no matter whether it is a war horse or the largest animal from the south, the elephant from the south, will not fall. Then cross west and then south.

Speaking of this, he drew another arrow on the map and said sadly: "In this way, crossing the north and going south, it is still to reach the sea of ​​raids and the Aral Sea according to the original plan of the Blood-Capital Camp. Fortunately, they went not far away, there was a big mountain. Following this mountain range, because the foundation was high, the swamp would be reduced.

What Wang Hua regrets the most was that when the Blood Camp left, he did not draw auspicious and detailed maps of the north. The farthest place he also marked the Aral Sea Caspian Sea. The territory of the Tang Dynasty once reached here, but it was very strange. Most people usually call the Caspian Sea, Black Sea, Mediterranean Sea and Aral Sea. The more auspicious and detailed statement is that the Aral Sea is called the Leiju Sea, the Caspian Sea is the North Sea, and even the Resea of ​​Lake Isek, and the Qing pond is also used to call the Aral Sea. Only another large lake, Barkösh Lake, has always been called the Yibo Sea.

When Wang Hua was about to leave, he left a map for Xiao Song and the others, afraid that if it happened, he even marked the Caspian Sea, and even the name was afraid that they would be indifferent. It changed to the Aral Sea and the Caspian Sea. However, the Ural Mountains and the Arctic Ocean were not marked.

Otherwise, Zhang Xiaosong and the others will give more directions.

But after reaching Ula Mountain, it does not mean that it is safe. In extremely cold weather, even Wang Hua doesn’t know what they use to keep the cold. There are also a large number of war horses that will inevitably be frostbite or freeze to death. It may be that in the end, the yumen have to change to walking. Once this happens, it will be dangerous.

Besides, it may not be safe to walk south along the Ural Mountains. Not to mention wild beasts, some places are blocked by lakes and rivers, and they may encounter damn swamps, which are small rivers to build bridges. It is not difficult to put them in normal times, but what tools do they have in their hands now? There are also many places covered with dense vegetation that cannot be passed through.

Just pass through, with a compass, but the terrain passing through is complex, and the compass sometimes loses its function. The longitude of the Arctic is gradually driving a little bit. If the deviation is a little bit south of the Arctic, it may be a deviation of thousands of miles later. If you are lucky, it happens to be the Aral Sea in the south. If you are not lucky, you will pass through the Caspian Sea. Wherever you go, there are many backward people. How many people can they be left? If you rush through, how can they resist? Aoshan

Wang Hua expressed his worries. But he said it very tactfully, and some parts were vague. After all, it was too shocking to say it all, and he could not explain that he had learned this knowledge.

.

"Compass?" Guo Yuanzhen said.

Wang Hua took out a compass.

After understanding its function, Guo Yuanzhen began to be amazed and immediately understood its important role. He asked Wang Hua for it.

"Governor Guo, it is very easy to make; therefore I don't want the enemy to get it, so I keep it secret. Now I can give you some, but Governor Guo must promise me one thing

"Prince of the King's Camp, please tell me."

"The soldiers of the Bloody Battalion are still not familiar with the northwest terrain, so I want to ask Governor Guo to find some reliable scouts, and must also be very familiar with the original terrain of the Western Turks, from here to here for investigation

As he said that, he drew a dotted line from the Kazakh hills to the Ural River area and said, "The terrain is probably like this, but I just analyzed it from some unpopular notes. I can't know the specific terrain, and I don't know where there are tribal distributions. There will definitely be, but they are all very backward and brutally cruel. In addition, the cold weather, this line has great risks. They searched for traces in this area. If they saw that this team of soldiers could escape, they must take them back safely.

"They asked me to lead me, and I am very familiar with the Western Regions. I have grown up here since I was a child and can understand the language of several races." Yun Xiu said.

Wang Hua looked at her and with her elusive skills, she was indeed a good candidate. For example, the news she brought this time was not known to spy on, and the time was very short. But with such enthusiasm for her, Wang Hua became a little suspicious and said! "I originally planned to go deep into the north for them to be far away from the Turks. They were all strange places, so I gave up. In addition, I heard that you came from Xijing with the blood-word camp army, so I returned to Shazhou in advance."

Unable to see her face, Wang Hua could not judge her expression, so he bowed and said:

"Then I'll thank Master Yunxiu. It just so happens that there are a few things that I want to tell the Master."

As he said that, he winked at Guo Yuanzhen and Xiao Gao. The two of them understood and bowed to leave.

Wang Hua said, "Master Yunxiu, you are a person outside the world. Even if you take the matter of that maid, I will not take it seriously. Especially this time you helped me a lot. I dare not use the maid as a maid. Even if the maid doesn't mind, I will also mind in my heart, which makes people all over the world laugh at me."

This matter is his biggest concern and he has little conflict with Li Dan now, but since he has helped Li Xian, the huge wheel of history has not been reversed by himself, he must have continued to develop towards its original track. Then it is not far from the time of the conflict.

If you keep this martial arts and elusive person by your side, your life will immediately become dying if it is not good for you.

I am different from those aristocratic families. If one Erlang is missing, there will be Saburo Silang. Once I fall, the entire Wang family will fall, and there is not even one person who seeks justice and takes revenge.

"Practicing Taoism depends on my heart. I will not mind this pound of identity. I also have the reputation of you now. I am just an unknown Taoist priest. It is harmless to use me as a maid. But even if I am a maid, I have to wait for a while. I must do the three things about the Prime Minister."

This is the second time she mentioned Li Dan’s three things. Wang Hua asked, “What three things?”

Yun Xiu said frankly: "The main reason is that my father is in Tochar, and there is no hope of restoring the country. Therefore, I want the King of Xiang to say a few good things in front of the saint, and take my father back to Xijing or Shendu, and spend the rest of his life. In order to thank King of Xiang, I took the initiative to agree to him and do three things for him. The first thing is to find out the whereabouts of your Blood Character Camp. The second thing is more difficult, and it is to find out who sells the news about the Blood Character Camp."

Wang Hua was slightly stunned when he heard this. What does Li Dan mean?

Could it be that Li Dan did this or Princess Taiping? So he put state affairs first. Or he also wanted to take the opportunity to attack his opponent and then take the initiative to search? Or was he done it originally, and deliberately asked Yunxiu to search and show it to himself?

But after hearing this, I felt relieved.

Gong Xiang, who wanted to find out this matter, was not just more difficult. There was no hope at all. Even if Li Dan was really looking for the truth, he probably thought that the Shangqing School would use spells to help him.

Of course, it is not ruled out that he knows that he can't find it at all, and what he does is for others to show it to prove his innocence.

But in this way, this beauty in Bing could not really be a maid by her side, let alone worry about it.

Another point is that this is repaying kindness. It is not that the entire Shangqing faction surrendered to Li Dan. At most, it is friendly to Li Dan. However, if you help me, the Shangqing faction will also have their considerations to reduce the possibility of them assassinating themselves.

"The third thing is that you have nothing to do with the blood character camp. It is related to the disputes among some people who practice Taoism and Buddhism. They have bad intentions towards the Prince. You don't need to ask about this, and it's useless to ask about it."

Wang Hua was also very curious about this. He asked, "I don't care about Taoist Master Yunxiu, I don't believe in ghosts and gods, but humans and ghosts are different, and the way of heaven is even more distant. Although there are many records of alchemists in history books, it finally proves that they all use evil magic or fraud to deceive wealth and honor. I heard that your master fought with people, and I don't know if he can use spells to open my eyes. Also, when Governor Guo and Xiao Ying were going back, you possessed on the tent. Is this a spell?"

Since Wenxian met the Taoist priest and his own time travel, this thing was originally an atheist. Now Wang Hua has also had questions, and it has become a small heart disease.

The most important thing is that Wang Hua is not afraid of martial arts. No matter how good his skills are, as long as he is vigilant and protects himself, these rangers will not pose a real danger to him. However, there are really magical Taoisms that are unpredictable and cannot be prevented by themselves. There are many people who offend him, and when he really takes action, danger can come at any time.

"You are possessed by a tent. Your talent is amazing. Unfortunately, what you do is too complicated." Although you can't see your face, Yun Xiu's tone became much calmer when he said this, at least he couldn't hear the smell of keeping people thousands of miles away.

It seems that she had heard Wang Hua's compass and the huge map with her own eyes, which made her feel a little disappointed. After all, she saw it with her own eyes: "Otherwise you can do it too, you can see it."

As she said that, she untied her long belt, waved it casually, and immediately wrapped several lines on the beam of the roof. She grabbed the other end of the belt with her hands and swung it a few times in the air. She grabbed the beam and pillar. The whole movement was done in one go. It was as light as a cat, silent.

Jumped off the roof beam again, tied the belt back on the white Taoist robe, and said, "They are the commanders of the army. The tent is tall and supported by iron pillars. The tent has a strong roof. I wrapped my belt around the roof and climbed up along the iron pillar. My body was carried on the iron pillar. As long as I keep my movements light and my body balanced, it is difficult to detect even if I stay in the tent."

She said it easy, but Wang Hua knew how difficult it was. The guards were guarding the safety outside the tent. They did not let the people inside the tent and the guards outside the tent notice it. At the same time, although there were iron pillars to support it, it was not a tall building. It was called iron pillars, or a few foldable thick steel bars, which could not even be called steel bars. It could only be said to be thick iron bars. A living person, looking at her figure and clothes, there were not a hundred or so, at least ninety pounds.

This difficulty combines martial arts and acrobatics, which is more difficult than walking a tightrope without taking a balance beam in a high altitude.

Yun Xiu said again: "Your ability, Master has left you a book of Taoism. I believe that Wang Duwei is of outstanding martial arts at this age. Although he has the teachings of General Xue's apprentice, it has more or less related to this book. If you practice Taoism quietly, you will have such achievements. As for Taoism, that is not my strength, but I will do it. If you want to read it, I can show it to you." Ao Yue Hunshan
