"...Leaving the Hansai, returning the geese to the Hutian. The desert is solitary, and the long river falls into the sun..."

Man Gui rode a war horse and stood on a hillside.

"This place in the northwest is really desolate and terrifying, sparsely populated, full of no-man's land, and the Gobi Desert, Wang Wei's poem is very suitable for this place.

I don't know why His Majesty has a soft spot for this place. I really don't know what is the use of coming to such a poor place?

During the Han and Tang Dynasties, the Northwest area was indeed under control for a period of time, but that was when the country was strong.Afterwards, the national power declined, and it also lost control of this area. It is really not easy to really control this area.

Now that I am at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the national power is far ahead of the Han and Tang Dynasties, it is not difficult to control this place, but I just can't understand why Your Majesty will never forget this place! "

Man Gui looked at the yellow sand and the Gobi Desert in front of him, talking to himself.

Man Gui is a pure warrior, he will do whatever Zhao Wen asks him to do, so when Zhao Wen sent him here, Man Gui didn't complain, and he stayed here for such a long time, and he didn't have any complaints. complain.

It's just that Man Gui just can't figure out why Zhao Wen is so reluctant to part with this poor and cold place.

Behind Man Gui are two thousand cavalry led by him.

At this time, Man Gui was four hundred miles west of Hamiwei, and now he was leading his troops to hunt down the rebellious Abron.

The sky is full of yellow sand in the northwest, and there are Gobi deserts everywhere. In this land, there are countless strong winds and sand almost every day. Man Gui has been in Hami for many years.

He stayed in the Hami position, and his main task was to stabilize the place and take control of the Hexi area west of Hamiwei.

However, during his stay for such a long time, it was not all smooth sailing. The Yilibali area west of Hamiwei was controlled by the Yarkand Khanate.

When the Central Plains fell into melee and was unable to look westward, the Yarkand Khanate took advantage of the situation to rise.

Man Gui once took Zhao Wen's order and led the army to attack Hamiwei, which had been lost for many years.

After taking down Hamiwei, Man Gui stayed here, and kept attacking the west at the same time.

Mangui once defeated Abrun, the great Khan of the Yarkand Khanate, and Abrun surrendered to Mangui when he saw Mangui's power.

For various reasons, Man Gui did not execute Abu Lun, but imprisoned him in Hami Acropolis.

But in the end, Abrun escaped. After Abrun escaped, he wanted to take revenge on Mangui. He recruited soldiers and horses to start a frantic attack, spreading all over the gathering places of Han people on the Gobi Desert in the northwest.

For this reason, Man Gui had to start chasing and killing Abron in the desolate and boundless Northwest.

"Marshal, it won't be long before His Majesty's troops to replenish our supplies will arrive at Hamiwei.

I heard that among the supplementary materials this time, there are also weapons newly made by His Majesty, which seem to be called tanks.

I heard that this tank is powerful and can run faster than a horse. It is a mobile artillery that can hit very far. When we have this kind of weapon, we will definitely be able to wipe out all the dogs like Abrun. "

Man Gui's adjutant stood beside Man Gui, and said to Man Gui excitedly.

Man Gui squinted his eyes, looked at the Gobi Desert in front of him, and smiled on his face, "I hope so, I hope this tank can help us, this area is really too big, we are like looking for a needle in a haystack Similarly, there will be no trace of Abron and the others within a short period of time."

"Boom!"

While speaking, a dozen or so fast horses rushed towards Man Gui.

The horseshoes stepped on the Gobi Desert, stirring up countless loess and sand dust.

It was like a yellow smoke, coming towards Man Gui.

"I hope it can bring good news, otherwise, I am afraid that this time I will return without success.

The weather was about to turn cold, and the heavy snow was coming soon. If there was a delay of seven or eight days or ten days, I'm afraid I would have to go back. "Man Gui looked at these people coming towards him, and said with emotion.

The people Mangui sent out were Yebushou who Mangui sent out to search for Abrun's traces.

Chapter 879 Abron

"I hope there will be good news. Otherwise, there will be heavy snow all over the place. At that time, I have to go back. Once I go back, it will not be so easy to arrest Abron again."

Man Gui looked expectantly at the dozen or so soldiers who were coming towards him.

There was a sound of horseshoes, and smoke and dust filled the air. Amid the neighing of war horses, the dozen or so soldiers stopped in front of Man Gui.

Before the smoke cleared, the dozen or so soldiers jumped off their horses and came to Man Gui.

"Commander, we found the trace of Abu Lun." The leading soldier shouted at Man Gui excitedly.

When Man Gui heard this, he instantly became excited.

Man Gui leaned forward, looked at the soldier, and asked excitedly, "Did you really find them? Where are they now?"

"Commander, Abrun is now in Jimsar.

According to our investigation, Abron is currently resting in Jimsar.

At this time, Abron had about 5000 soldiers. Although there were so many, most of them were recruits. "The soldier explained in detail to Man Gui.

Jimsar is a very important stronghold in the Yilibali area.

As far back as the Han and Tang Dynasties, this was a place that the Central Plains dynasty had to control.

In the 17th year of Yongping in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the imperial court sent Wuwei Geng Gong to lead hundreds of people to farm in Jimsar.

During the Zhenguan period, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty established Tingzhou in the current Jimusar County.

During Wu Zetian's period, in order to strengthen the military defense force, Shengting Prefecture was promoted to Beiting Duhufu. It is not only a military command organization, but also an administrative management organization, and it is the political and military center and transportation hub at the northern foot of Tianshan Mountain.

In the second year of Jingyun, Beiting Duhufu was upgraded to Beiting Daduhufu, becoming the highest military command organization in the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty, with more than [-] troops under its control.

Jimsar is a very important place. If Hamiwei is the last barrier against the Western Regions, then Jimsar is the bridgehead for sending troops to the Western Regions.

But such a very important place has been gradually abandoned since the Tang Dynasty.

After the Great Song Dynasty, which was born with insufficient force, unified the Central Plains, although it made several Northern Expeditions, there were some problems with its own strength, so the Northern Expeditions were always unsuccessful.

There is no way to succeed in the Northern Expedition, let alone Jimsar in the Western Regions.The ruling area of ​​the Song Dynasty was also limited to the Central Plains and other places. As for the north and the west, it was really beyond reach.

During the Ming Dynasty, although the Ming army was powerful in the early days of the founding of the country, the gap between the national conditions at this time and the Han and Tang Dynasties was too great. Coupled with various reasons, the Ming army did not exercise substantial control over Jimsar.

After losing substantial control over Jimsar, the Ming army retreated to Hamiwei, and at this time Hamiwei became the last barrier against the Western Regions. Fortunately, there were not many powerful forces in the Western Regions at this time.

But when the country weakened, Hamiwei gradually lost control, and the entire Western Regions could be said to have nothing to do with the Central Plains Dynasty.

It was not until the Qianlong period that the substantive control over Jimsar and other places was restored.

Because the time of losing control is too long, coupled with various reasons, it is said that the current Man Gui has not exercised substantial control over Jimsar.

"Jimsar, are you sure? Are you sure Abrun and the others are in Jimsar?" Man Gui looked at Ye Bushou standing in front of him with some disbelief.

Jimsar is not very far from Hamiwei, and now Mangui is not far from Jimsar. If you run around the clock day and night, you can arrive at Jimsar within two days.

Man Gui didn't quite believe that Abron would rest so close to him.

"Marshal, everything I say is true, if there is any deception, I am willing to do it with military law!" This Yebushou said to Man Gui solemnly.

It's not that Man Gui doesn't believe what Yebu accepts, but that Man Gui doesn't believe that Abrun will rest in Jimsar.

You know, I was chasing them all the way, and Jimsar was not far away from me. If Abrun was really recuperating in Jimsar, it meant that Abrun didn't take Mangui seriously at all.

"Hehe, you are so brave, you dare to jump under my nose.

Pass on my order, the whole army will attack, and they must arrive at Jimsar in two days. I want to see what Aburun is capable of. "

As Man Gui said, he waved the whip in his hand, controlled the horse under his crotch, and rushed forward.

"Hey Law!"

Amidst the neighing of war horses, Man Gui led his troops galloping on the Gobi Desert.

Vibrating smoke and dust rose from under the horse's hooves, straight into the sky, with awe-inspiring momentum.

Man Gui did not let his subordinates drive a car. Although the speed of the car is not inferior to the speed of the horse, and the carrying capacity is much stronger than that of the horse, but in the Gobi Desert in the northwest, there is no such thing as a car now. The method is comparable to that of a war horse.

Now the technology of these wood-burning vehicles is very mature, but if they want to drive on the Gobi Desert, they are still not ready.

"Drive, drive, drive!"

The whip in Man Gui's hand kept pulling towards the horse's buttocks.

Man Gui put a black gauze over her chin, covering her mouth and nose.

At the same time, he also wears a goggle made of glass.

Speeding on the Gobi Desert, the most fearful thing is the sand and dust raised by the horses running. Once the sand and dust get into the eyes, the speed will definitely slow down.

In order to solve this problem, Zhao Wen distributed special goggles to Man Gui and the others a long time ago.

The current Xuanzhen is very mature in glass manufacturing, and goggles can still be manufactured. The quality may not be as good as that of later generations, but it is completely sufficient for the present.

……

Although Jimsar was a very important stronghold of the Central Plains Dynasty during the Han and Tang Dynasties, it is now just a gathering place with a relatively large population.

During the Han and Tang Dynasties, Jimsar had a large number of buildings, various military facilities and civilian facilities, and it was a typical military city.

But now Jimsar is full of ruins and ruins. Although the shadows of the Han and Tang Dynasties can be seen from these ruins, it is just a dilapidated ruin in the yellow sand now.

Although some buildings can still accommodate people, they look like dilapidated buildings, crumbling under the blowing of the strong wind.

There are many yurts in Jimsar, and these yurts are used to live in. In Jimsar, the local residents basically live in these yurts.

It's not that the local residents are unwilling to build houses, but that the cost of building houses is really too high, and they may be buried by wind and sand one day, and the built ones are not as good as yurts.

Among these yurts, there is a very tall yurt, and there are various decorations on the yurt, and a shining gemstone is placed on the top of the yurt.

Around the yurt, there are guards with swords hanging from their waists.

All kinds of things show the extraordinaryness of this yurt and the extraordinary status of this yurt.

This yurt is really Abrun's yurt, as the great khan of the Yarkand Kingdom.

Abron is fully qualified and capable of living in such a yurt.

Abu Lun sat in the center of the yurt, and in front of him was a low table, which was filled with all kinds of beef and mutton.

Abu Lun ate the meat on the table without any image. He held the leg of lamb in one hand and a huge piece of beef in the other. He gnawed on his face recklessly and his mouth was full of oil.

The sand blown by the strong wind slapped on the top of the yurt, and the sand and gravel rubbed against the top of the yurt, making a chug chug sound.

Abron didn't feel anything about these voices, and his main task now was to get rid of the food in front of him.

Abron's plan can't stay here for too long, and he will leave here in two days and go further west.

Although Abron doesn't know the exact location of Man Gui, he clearly understands that Man Gui will definitely not let him go easily, and will definitely keep chasing him.

Abron put down the meat in his hand, and wiped his mouth indiscriminately.

"Huh, Man Gui, you bastard, you starved me so badly in Hamiwei that you almost starved to death. Are the meals you gave me human food? You gave me food that even dogs wouldn't eat. Eat it, it's disgusting!"

When Abron thought of the meals Man Gui had given him, he instantly became angry.

The meals that Man Gui provided to Abu Lun were definitely not good meals. It was impossible to eat a lot of fish and meat, just to keep Abu Lun alive.

Chapter 880 The Surprised Abron

"Pass my order. Let's rest here for another two days. After two days, we will set off again, all the way to the west, leave this ghost place, and completely get rid of Mangui and the others." Abron put down the food in his hand, stood up, and directed Shouting loudly outside the big tent.

The orderlies standing outside the big tent took Abrun's order down.

"Come on, bring me some wine. I want to have a good drink and vent my anger." Abron sat down again and shouted loudly.

Not long after Abrun's voice fell, seven or eight subordinates appeared in the big tent with a few wine jugs.

These subordinates placed the wine jugs in their hands neatly on the table in front of Abrun, and Abrun waved at these subordinates, indicating that they could leave.

After these men left, Abron picked up the wine on the table, pointed his mouth directly at the jug, and poured it into it.

Time passed slowly, and the sky soon turned dark. The temperature difference between day and night on the Gobi Desert is very large, not to mention that it is already early winter, and the night is even colder.

There are several braziers for heating in Abrun's big tent, and these braziers keep Abrun's big tent warm.

Abu Lun sat quietly behind the table, drinking dull wine.

"Hoo, hoo!"
