Before dusk that day, the cavalry gangs walked their horses earlier than before.

Starting from the Hunu Town Military Fort, cross the Hunu River in the shallow water and then run east along the Hunu River and the south bank of the Krakash River.

About fifteen miles to the east, a river originating from the mountains to the south flows into the Krakash River. In the past, the Tang army set up a fort here (the 30-mile barracks in later generations), but now it is abandoned, and the cavalry gangs stopped here. At this time, Sun Xiurong must have led the team back, but today is a little different. He asked Yuanfeng to take the cavalry gang back, but he kept Nie Feng.

In August, the temperature dropped sharply to around zero degrees at dusk in the middle of the Krakash River, but Sun Xiurong and Nie Feng both turned a blind eye.

Between the valleys south of Kunlun Mountain, from August, there will be strong cold winds blowing from the mountains on both sides. The cold wind is mixed with hay, dust and snowflakes. With the extremely high altitude, most people will definitely not be able to resist it when they arrive here, but these two people are obviously not among them.

"Nie Feng"

"President"

"If you are still on Xiangxiong's side, your surname should be Nie Xu."

"Yes"

"What about the name?"

"Captain, I'm going to tell you that Nie Xu is just my surname, and his name is four words, and he is called Wei Molongren."

"Wei Molongren?" Sun Xiurong learned the words of Xiangxiong in detail and knew what it meant, "Long River Valley". When he was on the Palacio Plateau, he went to the forest land of hundreds of miles of his home to chop wood in his 100-year-old, and met Nie Xu Danxi's horse thief. He often saw them who were originally good, but suddenly they would crawl on the ground and worship the West. At that time, what they hummed was "Wei Molongren".

Later, from Nie Xudanxi's mouth, he roughly understood what it meant.

According to legend, a long time ago, the origin of Bon religion was far west of Xiangxiong's former place (the Ali area in later generations). It is said that it was in Persia, where there was a long river valley, which was "Wei Molongren" in Xiangxiong's words. Later, after they arrived at the Gangdes Mountains, they would also call the Shiquan River valley on the northern foot of the Gangdes Mountain "Wei Molongren".

When the homeland was occupied by the Tubo people, Wei Molongren represented both the holy land (Bon religion) and the meaning of "hometown". No wonder Nie Feng, who escaped to Yutian Town, had such a name.

"What does Danxiang mean?" Sun Xiurong asked suddenly, and he observed Nie Feng's reaction while saying.

Nie Feng looked like a normal expression, "Danxiang, is the saying of us Xiangxiong people. For the Tubo people, it is called Danzhu, Danzeng, and Dunzhu. The meaning is almost the same, and it is a common name for males, which means that this is a boy who wants to do great things."

"What if it was Nie Xu's family?"

Nie Feng's expression frightened, but he only paused a little, "The combination of these two names, according to the family tradition, can only be names given to the descendants of the direct line."

At this moment, Nie Feng was thinking in his heart, "What does the team mean? He seems to be quite knowledgeable about Xiongyu. Yes, Nie Xu Danxi led a team of horse thieves to the Pamir Plateau. Although he has been keeping secrets, his team is not full of loyal people. There are always one or two people who can't stand it. Most of them leaked Danxi's situation. As a person who grew up on the Pamir Plateau, it is probably not uncommon for the team to know his name."

All of this was seen by Sun Xiurong, and he decided to strike while the iron was hot. "I heard that Nie Xu Danxi was the leader of the group of horse thieves. Bian Zhongcheng, Bai Zhen was going to bring them to justice. You are Xiangxiong, and you should know their habits. From your perspective, what should you do?"

Nie Feng said: "The Ministry of Justice also learned about this matter. I heard that the troop leader would lead a team to ambush near the Karakoram Pass and clear out..."

"What do you think?"

"This..., the department only follows the leader of the leader of the horse."

"No, I will keep you alone today. Of course, I want to know your true thoughts, because Nie Xu Danxi and her gang are all your tribe members. If you bring you with you, it will be risky for the Tang army. Therefore, you must be open and honest before this. If you care about the safety of your tribe members, don't go. If you insist on going, you must strictly abide by the orders."

“….”

"It is because you are a Xiangxiong man and have been in Aksaichin for a long time that I have to listen to your opinions. If there is a better solution, it will naturally be better."

Nie Feng suddenly fell to the ground, folded his hands and kowtowed to the west, and muttered something in his mouth, but it was not the "Wei Molongren", but the words that Sun Xiurong couldn't understand.

After a while, Nie Feng stood up again, "I'm sorry, in the past two months, I have known that the team leader is a strict military discipline and clear rewards and punishments. At first glance, he is a person who wants to do big things. Although Nie Feng is a few years older than Chi, he is far inferior in any aspect. I sincerely respect the team leader."

"It's not that I don't respect Bai Zhen General. Speaking of Hunu Town, everyone is similar, but the team leader is obviously different..."

"oh?"

"The couple is very skilled in martial arts, but he is good at reading and literacy. He is young, but he treats people and things like an old man in his forties or fifties. Not to mention others, even Bai Zhenjiang is not as good as him. Faced with such a person, I cannot help but tell the truth, otherwise the gods will not forgive me."

"Please say"

"Captain, after the Tubo people occupied the former land of Xiangxiong, they moved about 20,000 households to the Tibetan River Valley. The Tibetan River is the fundamental place of the Tubo people. Important castles, including Lushecheng, are all on this valley. This valley is about a thousand miles long and is the place with the largest number of Tubo people."

(Tibet River, later generations of Yarlung Zangbo River)

"But there are still more than 20,000 households in Xiangxiong who remained in the same place, most of whom were loyal to the Qiongbu family. The ones who moved to the Zanghe River were naturally loyal to the Nie Xu family. Once they left Gangdes Mountain, they would lose their roots. In the Zanghe River, they could only be honestly slaves to the Tubo people."

"However, there are still some people who secretly sympathize with Nie Xu in the old place of Xiangxiong. There are at least 3,000 such people. This is because in the history of the Xiangxiong Kingdom, Nie Xu was still ruled by Nie Xu in most cases. The Qiongbu only ruled for a short time, and the impact on the people is still on Nie Xu."

"Of course, this is the biggest secret of the former Xiangxiong land Dingkou. After occupying the Tubo people, they split the household registration according to their surnames. In fact, in the former Xiangxiong Kingdom, the king was the leader of the Bon religion, so naturally there was a set of secret methods to control the people of the Ministry. Even the Qiongbu family could not fully grasp this."

"did you mean?"

"Captain, my meaning is very simple. Now the smoke of gunpowder between the Tang Dynasty and the Tubo has risen again. I heard that the battle near the West Sea is even more lively. The Tubo mouth is thin. If it is fought in the old place of Xiangxiong, they will definitely not be able to support it. If the operation is done properly, it is very likely to completely destroy it."

"Nie Xudanxi is the direct descendant of Nie Xu's clan and is very appealing in the former place of Xiangxiong. His branch is from Aksaichen Lake in the east to Heishi Lake in the west. There are many Hubo's Wanhu. The lord of the Ritu tribe. He stayed well on the Palacio Plateau. Why did he return to Aksaichen? It is naturally because of this reason, but this secret is not known to the Qiongbu clan."

"Because within the Nie Xu family, once a royal male is born, especially a direct descendant, his fiefdom will be considered before he is born, and his fiefdom is closely related to the place where his mother gave birth."

"Danxi was born in Aksaichin. Just the day before, the famous royal warrior in the clan happened to die near Heishi Lake. Originally, this warrior was a slave of Dangxiang Qiang and one of the royal children of the Qiongbu family prepared to perform sacrifices. Therefore, the clan believed that Danxi was his heir. Although he could not own the land of Wanhu, the secret tribe actually regarded Danxi as his heir. Danxi had never come back before, probably because he was too young."

"At present, he should be eighteen years old. It's time to return to his fiefdom and his holy land..."

“Holy Land?”

"Well, according to the tradition of Xiangxiong Bon religion, every child of the direct royal family has a mountain god, water god, and lake god as the guardian god. Danxiang was born in Aksaichen. Every mountain, every river, and every Hubo in the Wanhu area should be his guardian god, especially Aksaichen Lake. Although it is located in the westernmost part of the Wanhu area, because he was born there, the lake god in this lake is his greatest guardian god."

"He escaped from the Krakash River, the river god of the river is also one of his guardian gods, and Kunlun Mountain is his guardian mountain."

Hearing this, Sun Xiurong couldn't help but think, "Danxi doesn't seem to have any special pursuit of this land. She has been staying on the Palacio Plateau. I had advised him to come to this land before. After he came, I thought he came according to his instructions, but in fact, he would come back if he had his own instructions."

"The whereabouts of Bian Lingcheng he provided also helped him, giving his 'basis' the first pot of gold. Since he was the prince of Wanhu, he naturally had a good relationship with the countries in the Ladakh region, because at this time the Tubo people were just detaining the countries in Ladakh and Kashmir region and did not implement strict jurisdiction. After he got the treasure, he would definitely come here to get rid of it. He would definitely not go to the Mesopotamian River Basin."

"After I reported the news, he was firmly held by me. For him, once he entered the Aksaichin area, there were at least 3,000 households to rely on, but he... It seems that no one in this world gave it for free."

Despite this, he still comforted himself: "If you restrain them in the west of the Tubo Kingdom, you will definitely add to your future. Now that this is the case, there is no way back. Moreover, for the Qiongbu family, who is in charge of the Wanhu Mansion of Xiangxiong, you will never see the descendants of the Nie Xu family coming to the Aksaichi area again. The initiative is not necessarily in anyone's hands."

Understanding this, he said: "Actually, I mean that. If you use Nie Xu Danxi to gain a foothold in the Wanhu area and disrupt the western side of the Tubo border, it will not only echo the two major jurisdictions of Hexi and Longyou in our country, but also reduce the pressure on the border town and Shazhou. Once you only care about your own interests and wipe them out, it will be avenge the border chief. Unfortunately, it is not a good thing for the country."

There seemed to be a ray of light in Nie Feng's eyes, "The head of the team also thinks so, that's great!"

Sun Xiurong sighed: "It's good, but unfortunately, under the pressure of Bian Zhongcheng and Bai Zhenjiang, we have no good idea."

"No!"

"Oh? Do you have a way?"

"The head of the army, the vocational department does have a way. Although the Tang Dynasty and Tubo fought lively on the eastern front, they were always in peace on the western front. Therefore, the Aksaichin area has become a borderland for both sides. It can be entered, but neither of them actually occupied it. However, the herdsmen can still come in to grazing, and the scouts of both sides can also come in to investigate."

"The person in charge of the former place of Xiangxiong is the direct descendant of the Qiongbu clan, named Qiongbuzanpo. In the past, in the Xiangxiong Kingdom, the Lalu clan had a long marriage with the Qiongbu clan. After they became guests of the Tubo Kingdom, they naturally occupied the main position. At present, there is a young man named Laludorji in the Lalu clan, who is the captain of Qiongbuzanpo."

"He often brought about two or three hundred cavalry to the Aksaichen area to investigate, first to investigate the whereabouts of Nie Xu Danxi and others, and second to investigate the situation of the Tang Dynasty. Since Hunu Town was isolated outside the land, it was 600 miles away from the nearest city of Khotan. They must also know the military force that can be deployed, because not long ago, this military fort was occupied by the Tubo people."

"Therefore, two or three hundred riders are enough to deal with anything. If he was told that Nie Xu Danxi and his gang would come back from Ladakh, the number of horse thieves would definitely not exceed fifty people. It is completely easy to defeat 300 riders against fifty people. Even if Hunu Town and horse thieves unite together, it is not afraid of it. This is because the total number of Hunu Town is only 300, and the cavalry is only a few dozen. Even if half of the horses are dispatched, they are not a match for Larudoji."

"Say the point!"

"Yes, the team leader, the method is very simple. We join forces with the horse thief to defeat Larudoji, and then present the captured or killed Larudoji's detective cavalry to Bian Zhongcheng as the body of the horse thief. I believe we can get away with it."

"But if Larudogi had three hundred riders on it, there would definitely be a fish that missed the net. Then the news would eventually reach the ears of Bian Zhongcheng..."

"Captain Larudogi has three hundred cavalry under his command, but his scope of investigation is too wide, and he can dispatch up to two hundred cavalry at a time. Therefore, I suggest that since you want to hold them, you should just dispatch more people this time."

"No, no, no, I have a strong crossbow, and I can do one to be ten. The most important thing at the moment is to find Nie Xu Danxi and let him know the plan of our army. Otherwise, everything will be empty talk. As for whether the Zhongcheng knew about it later, he can only take one step at a time."

"Captain, I'm willing to go!"

"Really?" Sun Xiurong's eyes flashed with excitement, "Okay, let Yang Shouyu follow you. He can be used as a lot of people by himself. In addition, my servant Geng Sidu, he is a young man, just hides his whereabouts."
