16. Shi Shiqi goes west

But before Gao Yue could implement it, the Shanshui Village in Yanzhishan took the initiative to go to Dadouba Valley and joined the Tang army.

You should know that Duan Zuo was the leader of the village in Yanzhi Mountain. After hearing that the Tang army had recovered Hehuang, he couldn't wait to ignite fireworks on the peaks everywhere, summoning the leaders of all the mountain villages on all sides, saying that the heavenly soldiers were finally here, and we must do our best to help them recover this Ganzhou.

At Wei Wei's valley, Hao Yan led three thousand Xiong Qi soldiers to pour in from the south of the valley, while Duan Zuo led more than a thousand Yanzhishan Yi soldiers from the north of the valley. The two armies were facing each other, running enthusiastically and excitedly, throwing down their weapons, stepping on the streams and earth in the valley, and then hugging each other in the shocking cheers. For the regular Tang soldiers, the restoration of Helong was still at the level of implementing national orders, and for these Yi soldiers, they were actually saving the countryside from the iron hooves of the foreign race.

"Brother!" Hao Yan cried loudly. When he saw Duan Zuo, he felt like he was in a dream.

The two men then hugged each other tightly.

"Your wife and children are not dead, your wife and children are not dead, they are all in Shanshui Village." Duan Zuo shook Hao Yan's shoulders in the deafening cheers and crying.

"I'm not dead either..." Hao Yan gritted his teeth.

Another day later, when the Xiongqi army arrived at the foot of Yanzhi Mountain, Hao Yan laughed loudly, clamped his two sons who could run away, and turned around the grass and wilderness. His son was also laughing, but Hao Yan's wife kept wiping tears from one side.

"Why are you crying? I heard that the two great generals of our Tang family, Gao and Wei, won several great battles, and the entire Helong will be restored soon." Several old men next to him comforted the wife of the Hao Yi family, but as they persuaded him, they couldn't stop crying.

In Shancheng, Liu De's room was closely linked to Cui Shu in the three yamen. Cui Xia calculated that Shancheng and Tulou Mountain, as well as the grain and fodder that had just been transported from Lanzhou and Wuzhou, had another 200,000 stones.

The emperor and the court were like taking all their pants at this moment, and they collected more than one million chunks of qian, bought grain from various places and employed their feet, and transported them continuously along the Longyou Road in the Wanghehuang area, so that the grain price in the capital was only about 300 cents per stone, but now it has risen to a full seven hundred cents.

In addition, the emperor also urgently allocated imperial silk cloth from the palace to "exchange silk for grain" and purchased grain from various mountains and river villages in Helong. For this reason, the emperor reduced all the expenses, even the salaries of princes and grandchildren of the Ten Kings' houses, and the money of the princesses such as Lingxu and Yiyang were reduced by half.

There are also 300,000 yuan of rewards, which are also in place.

"Shang Qixin'er is simply my lucky star." Gao Yue laughed.

If he hadn't been afraid to escape and let the 150,000 shi of military rations stored in Hehuang fall into the hands of the Tang army, then Gao Yue would really not have the strength to launch an advance against Hexi now.

Gao Yue then ordered to distribute more than 100,000 stones to the Han people in the entire Hehuang area (many of which were turned over by Wen Mo) to help them survive the time when the green and yellow periods were in conflict. Then the Liu De Office operated, seized the time to divide the fields, occupy the fields and snatch the grain to save the wasteland.

The rest were all given to the cavalry, and then they continued to set out, not only to collect Gan, Su, and Gua along the way, but also to finally arrive at the end of Hexi, Shazhou Dunhuang, and then successfully meet with the remaining troops in the four towns of Anxi.

"In this way, Anxi, Hexi, Longyou, and to Yuanhui, a total of six towns, fifteen armies, and 13,000 miles of territory were finally restored and saved from Fan Rong..." Gao Yue thought of this, and listened to the rhythmic abacus of Liu Deshi and the military officers, and could not help but close his eyes and tears oozed in his heart.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered Emperor Daizong.

Daizong did many confused things in his life. The other party was indulged in, and the Uighurs were indulged in, and they killed loyal and kind in order to seize power, and their improper operations led to the fall of the capital Chang'an, and the slander of Buddhism, etc. However, Emperor Daizong always adhered to one principle:

In Anxi Beiting and Helong, he fought or reconciled with Xifan, but he never nodded or abandoned the land, nor abandoned the people, and never recognized the legal occupation of the lost land by Xifan. When the country was at its most critical moment, he would rather compromise with the rebellious town, rather bear all kinds of infamousness, and also worked hard to reorganize the defense line of the northwest of the capital against Xifan, and wait for an opportunity to launch a counterattack at any time to recover the lost land.

This may also be the reason why he saw Gao Yue's eyes glowing.

"In the future, perhaps this interesting young man will save this lost country."

When Gao Yue refused to marry his granddaughter and killed the Uighurs in the East City, Daizong was also angry, but then he learned that Gao Yue accepted the enthronement of Duan Xiushi, the governor of Jingyuan. When he left the capital to go to the difficult western camp, he couldn't help but have the above thoughts.

A little delighted and a little expectant.

But he died of death when Gao Yue was really shining and hot.

"When I go back to the Central Palace in Longshan, I will pay a good tribute to the portrait of your true face where you are..."

Soon, Gao Yue lived on the outskirts of Shancheng City at the enemy platform of the city wall and read the five thousand cavalrymen heading to Hexi. The soldiers also held various flags and flags. In addition to riding a horse, there was also a horse responsible for carrying food and fodder. After all, it was a very difficult task to pass through the entire Hexi Corridor, even if it was impossible for the Xifan army to block it along the way.

At the same time, because the food was not sufficient enough to support thousands of troops to go to Anxi, only 5,000 cavalry were selected. With the support of the Shanshui Village along the way, this operation was carried out. Gao Yue also stipulated that three hundred or five hundred would be left to stay in the important military towns, and to attract the people and let them live as soon as possible.

This time, Anxi's orphan Cai Fengyuan took the initiative to ask for participation.

Gao Yue also approved it.

Previously, Gao Yue personally tied a scarf sweat towel to Cai Fengyuan and wrapped it in a cow head, "Fu Nu, Hexi to Jixi, I have thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. I am very sorry, because I have to stay in Shancheng and cannot go, so you can take a look on my behalf, take a look on my behalf..."

"Well, I'll go see it for Mr. Ji." Cai Fengyuan's eyes also turned red at this time.

Gao Yue patted his shoulder, "When you arrive in Anxi, ask your father clearly whereabouts, and then go back to Xingyuan Mansion and tell your mother."

At this time, the drums were heard on the top of Shancheng. Cai Fengyuan, who shouldered the dual wishes of Ji Gong and his mother, looked back at Gao Yue who was still standing on the platform in the column where the cavalry was moving forward, and then walked forward.

In the melodious singing, the Tang cavalry, either carrying horse forks or hanging long spears at the victory hook, while some hung iron maces and shackles, heading towards Changning Valley in a mighty manner.

Along the river boundary, the Han people who had just been divided into the fields were extremely excited, smashing and pulling down the "Bushi" (the land land logo of Xifan and the witch praying for a good harvest), erecting a new stone land, and pulling out livestock from the houses of the king's fields, noble families and military fields, taking farm tools, opening the gates of the ditches, starting to plow and irrigate, and plant food. This brand new land gives them unlimited hope!
