Between the vast desert and grassland, there are clumps of gray-green grass, some of which have already bloomed. The flowers are red and white and are wolfsbane grass.
Fortunately, this is at the foot of the mountain and there is not much sand.
The march route this time was walking along the mountains, with melted ice and snow and glaciers. Occasionally, we cut off the oases we found while crossing the desert. The supply of water was more convenient, and there was no need to take up so much counterweight.
Fortunately, my plug-in is a real-time map.
I was able to march the fastest and closest, thanks to my ability.
Even Chagan Bari praised him as if he was kind and free of charge, which made him blush. Fortunately, he was inevitably burnt black and red by the strong sun in the desert, and his face could not be seen.
Yes, Chagambari.
This former Tamerlane has all four lucky bets!
Compared with his own dog father and Eji who were captured, Chagan Bari, who took the initiative to surrender the city, was much luckier.
Dozens of members of King Khan's family were rushed to Yanjing for the Olympic Games as early as last year when they conquered the old city of Yili. Now they are probably playing clowns to the Second Saint. Those who usually praise Ke Dun's smelly feet and bully his own brothers and sisters. My half-sisters must have been divided up by the nobles of Qi people, right? But Tchaganbari is different.
How do you say that sentence in Chinese? Wei Junjie is the one who wants rare things.
He was canonized as General Longhu of Great Qi, Commander of the Guiyi Guards of the Anxi Protectorate, and was stationed in Ili. He was also a prominent figure in the entire Protectorate!
And it’s General Longhu, he’s a perfect match for me.
Judging from the current market situation, even Abu and his brothers and sisters who did not like to see him would bow and salute and shout to see the general when they saw him.
Thinking of this, Chagan Bari couldn't help laughing.
Shi Yuanxiu, who was riding next to Cha Gan Bari, frowned and distanced himself from Cha Gan Bari as if to avoid something dirty.
Chagan Bari was sent here by Lu Guan. He mainly serves as a guide. Although he is not popular in person, he is quite sharp-tongued. He has been sent to Heshuote to form an alliance. He has taken a similar route to this operation, so he knows the way.
Also accompanying him was Gui Yiwei.
This Yuan Qingxue army, which was abandoned after the break of Dihua and finally followed Chagan Bari to surrender, was one of the few elites in the Timur Khanate who could fight against the Anxi army!
After Chaganbari was awarded the title of General Longhu, the Duhufu formed the Guiyi Guard based on these thousands of people and 4,000 of Timur's carefully selected descendants.
It can be regarded as appeasing the Timurid people and giving them a way to make progress.
On this trip, Chagan Bari brought 3,000 people to participate in this operation. Including the elites brought by Jia Hui, the total number was 8,300 people.
Although I saw Jia Hui charging on the city wall in Dihua, it was a completely different feeling to watch from the city wall and follow the charge.
To use words learned from General Jia.
I'm so high!
When they met horse bandits, they didn't even criticize them. They raised their spears and charged. This group of people didn't stop them and followed them howling.
No armor!
The group of horse bandits ran away, and the few who rushed over showed their timidity. As soon as the horses slowed down, the battle was over.
You dare to attack a military formation of 8,000 people, why are you showing your cowardice again?
Chaganbari, who had been thinking about it for several days, still couldn't figure out the problem.
But judging from the bravery of Jia Hui and others, Timur did not lose unjustly.
With a long sigh, he took off his rancid leather armor, changed into clean clothes, held the old clothes in his arms, and walked out of the tent.
The commander has ordered that everyone must be clean and tidy if possible.
At first, everyone thought it was annoying to do laundry and bathing all day long, but intimidated by Jia Hui's strength, everyone still did it.
After persisting for a while, everyone fell in love with the beauty of taking a shower and wearing clean clothes from time to time.
It has been a month since I left Yili.
We went south and crossed the Tianshan Mountains. We replenished supplies in Aksu and rested for two days. We emptied the city of anti-altitude and anti-reverse medicinal materials, such as Rhodiola rosea. Anyway, Cha Ganbari said this works, so take them all with you.
Continue south along the branches of the Tianshan Mountains, passing through Bachu and Yecheng. After emptying out all the medicinal materials, we set off eastward. We are now about three or four days away from Hotan.
The most fortunate thing about this march is that there are supply points along the way. In addition to armor and weapons, I only carry Da Qi's standard emergency march rations-candy sticks.
This is a popular military ration that has been circulated on this land for more than four hundred years.
It was first discovered by the Qili tribe, a large tribe in Baiyue, in the mountains of southwest China.
There is a tree called the sweet tree that lives in the area, which looks very similar to the sumac tree. Daqi's official herbal catalog calls it "Saccharomyces Tree".
Yes, the gum of this tree contains a lot of sugar.
When the old man gave Jia Hui a candy bar to taste, Jia Hui was shocked.
At the end of the Yu Dynasty more than 300 years ago, the chieftains of Baiyue rebelled, which dealt the final blow to the Yu Dynasty, which was on the verge of collapse.
The chieftains once entered Sichuan and fought as far as Jianmen Pass. As military rations, the Qili Department also brought candy sticks to Sichuan.
The chieftain rebellion was finally defeated by the division and disintegration of the Yizhou prefect at that time.
This kind of military ration, sugar sticks, attracted the attention of the prefect, who introduced and planted this sugar gum tree.
With the founding of the country in Daliang, the sugar gum tree also came into the court's sight, and Daliang also attached great importance to the development of the sugar gum tree.
After three hundred years of continuous research, the sugar gum tree has been developed to the greatest extent, cultivated and improved, and has been planted all over the country, as far north as Datong.
Chic gum is rich in sugar. The best quality chimichurri can even be dried and ground into powder to become the top-grade white sugar. Unlike sucrose that can cause internal heat when eaten too much, chimichurri itself also has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying.
Nowadays, although the price of sugar in Daqi is not as low as a few cents per catty, it is still far lower than the price of salt, making it the most commonly used condiment for ordinary people.
What a god-given tree!
In the Daqi Dynasty, dried meat, lard (can also be replaced with butter, mutton fat or vegetable oil, depending on the place of origin), salt, fried noodles or fried rice and crushed kelp were directly added to the sugar gum, kneaded into strips and dried in the sun.
After some rest, a candy bar about the thickness of a two-year-old baby's wrist was completed. Wrapped in oiled paper, it can be stored for quite a long time. When fighting, with some water, a candy bar can last a day.
A large part of the reason for the success of the Western Expedition was this kind of god-given military rations.
With such military rations, Da Qi did not reach the end of the world. Jia Hui did not understand.
Because the candy bars are portable and easy to carry, as long as each person carries a backpack of candy bars, they can eat them for a long time, and they can completely abandon the transportation team.
With one person and two horses, the horses can carry more candy bars while carrying armor and equipment. The cavalry can even carry another backpack. Jia Hui's march was so fast that it only took about 20 days to march from Yili to Yili. Marched quickly to the foot of Kunlun Mountain.
I was very lucky today and found an oasis with a small pond. Jia Hui decided to camp early and rest today.
Shui Che arranged for the others to go hunting. Jia Hui prepared the candy bars for when he could not find food for a long time while crossing the snowy mountains or entering the plateau. Eat as little as you can, so you can find fresh food before entering the snowy mountains. When it comes to food, try to eat something fresh.
This is a depression formed by melting water from snowy mountains flowing into a small puddle.
The upstream is naturally connected to the snow-capped mountains, and then flows into the puddle, forming a small green space in the shape of a "middle" shape.
The lower reaches disappeared into the vast desert.
The soldiers of the Surprise Regiment skillfully set up camp in the upper reaches. The water here is much cleaner and the terrain is high. If there is a flood, they will not be flooded.
The small pond in the middle is used as a bathing pool.
Who knows how these people could endure the cold melting water of the iceberg. But there is no way, there are not many things that can be burned in this world, so try to use them for cooking.
As usual, Jia Hui made them boiled ginger water with dried ginger to dispel the cold. Now they have walked to Hotan, and the next step is the Kunlun Pass. Jia Hui felt that these fighting men did not want to suffer the same crime of crossing the desert, but because Take a bath in cold water and fall at the foot of the snow-capped mountains.
As for the downstream, just wash the clothes and water the horses.
After the meal, the soldiers who were sitting in front of the campfire chatting and eating also went back to their tents to rest one after another. Since the last rest in Yecheng, they had been traveling for several days in a row, and the fatigue caused by this group of soldiers made them tired. The men were also a little overwhelmed. Now they just want to fall on the bed and sleep until dawn.
While there was still some hot water, Jia Hui wiped his body with a towel, then sat in the tent and started writing marching notes.
Due to the need to march quickly, and the variables in the Western Region, such as horse bandits, poisonous snakes, scorpions and the like, it is easy to get lost in the desert if there are few people, and the distance between cities is too far, so even the guardian Government orders sometimes fail to be conveyed.
Therefore, the imperial court gave great autonomy to the garrison troops stationed in various places in the Duhufu, but they must record military notes. Not only the chief generals, but also all officers with a thousand households and above must write this, so that they can be compared in many aspects in the future.
Just when the small dish of butter was about to burn out, Jia Hui also finished writing his notes, stretched his waist that had been sitting for a long time, and Jia Hui turned over and lay down in the sleeping bag.
Jia Hui looked at the tent ceiling with blurred eyes, feeling the cold quilt, and he missed Yue Liduo more and more.
Jia Hui got up and walked out of the tent again, said hello to several soldiers on guard, and walked a little further away to put out water.
Looking up at the sky, the moon tonight is not obscured by dark clouds and hangs completely in the sky.
Jia Hui turned to look east, feeling a little homesick. It was the first time in his two lives that he had left home, even for more than three years.
I don’t know what my family is like. Is the drama I wrote popular?
In my previous life, I loved watching dramas, operas, operas and even Japanese kabuki. Although I didn’t understand most of the foreign dramas, and most of the time I just watched them for fun, I would also imitate them when I was at home.
When my husband was still alive, I was surprised to see something that could barely be called a script that I wrote in my free time, but I didn’t say anything. It’s better to have a hobby than go out and cause trouble.
Then he asked someone to hire a few luthiers to teach him.
It's your own fault.
