Xie Erjian did not break his promise. He assigned troops to Liu Xian and Li Guangqi and ten others to reward them for their outstanding performance in the battle against the Yibula tribe. The soldiers were selected from the Xining Guards. According to the standards of 100 households, each of them was equipped with 120 soldiers.

Speaking of which, after Xu Jin selected Liu Xian and others from the martial arts hall, they had the military rank of hundreds of households, but they were always commanders with only one soldiers and no soldiers under their command. Now they are truly the ones, and they are temporarily subordinate to Xining Guards.

In addition, according to Xu Jin's intention, he should focus on cultivating Liu Xian, so Xie Erjian asked him to lead his troops to follow Yibula and pretend to be Yibula's subordinates. On the one hand, he would monitor Yibula nearby, and on the other hand, he would train his own adaptability.

Let’s talk about the day of February 14, Yibla took Shenji Camp to leave Rubber Mountain west of Qinghai Lake, and continued to march westward. After trekking for half a month, he finally arrived at Dangjinshan Pass, where the Qilian Mountains and Aljinshan junction were junction.

This is the last day of the second month of the lunar calendar. The weather is much warmer. During the day, the sun shines on you, making it very warm and comfortable.

"Liu Baihu, please see. Just climb over the mountain pass in front and walk about 300 miles north along the Silagajin River to reach Dunhuang." Yibla pointed at the gap between the two mountains in front.

The Silaga Jin River in Yibula's mouth is the current Danghe River. It was called Zhizhishui during the Han Dynasty, Ganquan Water during the Tang and Song Dynasties, and it was called Xilaga Jin River or Harjin Water during the Yuan and Ming Dynasties. It was not called Danghe until the Qing Dynasty, and it has been used to this day.

Danghe is the mother river in Subei region. It originates from the glacier group in Shule South Mountain. It goes north, passes through Yangguan, then reaches Mingsha Mountain in Dunhuang, and then flows into Shule River.

Liu Xian followed Yibula's pointing and put on the awning in his hand, and saw a gap between the continuous mountains. Although it looked a little high, the slope was smooth. The supplies and vehicles of the Shenji Camp should be able to climb, which would take some time and effort, so he sent someone to inform the Shenji Camp behind him.

Soon, Xu Jin's order was sent back from behind, resting on the spot to accumulate energy, and when the sun rises tomorrow, he will cross the mountain pass in one go.

On the morning of the first day of March of the seventh year of Jiajing, eight thousand Shenji Camp, two thousand Xining Guards, and five thousand people were fully fed and ready to go, and all the animals and mounts pulled the cart were fed.

"Cross the ridge!" With Xu Jin's order, the army began to climb over Dangjinshan Pass in a mighty manner.

Although the north-south width of Jinshan Pass is only less than 60 miles, the altitude is as high as more than 3,000 meters, and the height drop from the top of the ridge to the foot of the ridge is even more than 1,000 meters. If you just climb, of course there is no problem. The problem is that Shenji Camp still has a lot of supplies, which is quite difficult.

So it took two days for the Shenji Camp to transport all the supplies across the ridge. During this period, there were dozens of accidents, dozens of people were injured and three people died. They were all crushed to death by the rolling Folang machine cannon, and more than a dozen animals pulled the cart were abandoned, which was quite difficult.

Fortunately, the three armies finally crossed the ridge smoothly, and then there was a smooth road. You can reach the purpose of this raid along the Danghe River and reach the goal of this raid - Dunhuang.

Yibula probably had no desire to resist after seeing the powerful combat power of the Shenji Camp. In addition, his family was under house arrest in Xining City, and Xu Jin also promised to be named a marquis, so he did his best to lead the way along the way and did not make any tricks.

On the afternoon of the third day of the third month of the seventh year of Jiajing, the army was about a hundred miles away from Yangguan. Xu Jin ordered the entire army to stop advancing and wait for news about the scouts ahead.

When it was dark, the scouts returned one after another. It was reported that the Yerjiang people did station an army in Yangguan, but there were only a few hundred people. It was estimated that the generals of Yarkand never dreamed that the Ming army would appear behind them, so the troops deployed in Yangguan were very few, which was not enough for Shenji Camp to move his fingers.

Of course, Xu Jin's target was not Yangguan, but Dunhuang, a hundred miles northeast of Yangguan. Only by taking down Dunhuang City, this thousand-mile raid was truly successful. If one attack was not achieved, then the Shenji Camp would fall into a very dangerous situation and would inevitably be subject to heavy counterattack by Yerjiang people.

The night is like ink, and the Danghe River water is flowing. In this spring, the weeds by the river have sprouted tender buds, and some unknown wild flowers are fragrant in the night wind.

There was still a fire in Xu Jin's tent. In the tent, Liu Xian was straight and stood respectfully in front of Xu Jin. The 18-year-old's face was excited and his eyes were admiring.

"Xiao Liu, although you are meticulous, you lack some experience after all. You will wake up from Yangguan tomorrow. If Yibula shows signs of playing tricks, don't hesitate. Kill him immediately and don't go to Dunhuang." Xu Jin ordered.

Liu Xian nodded and said, "Don't worry, the subordinates will adapt to the situation."

"Young man is not bad, I am optimistic about you!" Xu Jin patted Liu Xian's shoulder affectionately and smiled.

With the encouragement of his idol, Comrade Xiao Liu was so excited that he was drunk, full of motivation and fighting spirit.

"Big Eyes!" Xu Jin shouted outside the tent again, and then he saw Song Da Eyes, who looked like an iron tower, flashing in.

"What are the commands of the Grand Marshal?" Song Dayan saluted.

Xu Jin pointed at Liu Xian and said, "Tomorrow you will go to Yangguan with Liu Baihu, obey his instructions and protect his safety."

Song Da glanced at Liu Xian and nodded, "Okay!"

Liu Xian glanced at the cooked copper stick that Song Dayan was carrying, and couldn't help but hit his tongue secretly. This thing is probably fifty or sixty pounds, and I'm afraid I can't play without some strength.

The next morning, Yibula led more than 500 "remain soldiers" to describe the embarrassing direction towards Yangguan, while Liu Xian and Song Dayan were mixed among the remain soldiers.

It has to be said that the Yarkand army stationed in Yangguan is quite dedicated. Yibla and others were discovered by two cavalry as soon as they approached ten miles. Soon, the five hundred Yarkand cavalry arrived fiercely and blocked their way.

"Who are you? Why do you appear here?" The Yarkand general was the commander of the commander of the thousand men, named Bahar. He held a scimitar in his hand and shouted loudly, while the soldiers behind him bent their bows and arrows, aiming the arrow at Yibla and others.

Yibula squeezed his cold sweat and quickly raised his hands and shouted loudly: "Please don't shoot arrows. I, Yibula, are here to surrender, and have no malice."

Bahar had long seen that Yibula and others were not Ming people in costumes, otherwise they would have shot arrows from the beginning. When he heard Yibula reported to his house, his eyes lit up and blurted out: "You are Yibula? You were Yibula? Not long ago, the god of war in Ming Dynasty was destroyed in a few days?"

Yibula's face was a little embarrassed. Why did the news spread so quickly? Even the Yarkand people in Yangguan knew about it?

Liu Xian and Song Dayan looked at each other. It seemed that He Zhang, the commander of the Shaanxi Xingdu Department, worked very hard. In just over half a month, the news reached Yangguan. OK, this would save trouble.
Chapter completed!
