Gou in Daming, I was overheard by Zhu Yuanzhang

Yumen Pass is located in the Gobi Desert on the south bank of the Shule River at the westernmost end of the Qilian Mountains.

This majestic pass city was once an important military pass in the Han Dynasty and the main route of the Silk Road, but now it is dilapidated.

This is the forefront of the struggle between Hu and Han, and it is also the dividing line between East and West.

Yumen Pass, commonly known as Xiaofangpan City, is about 7 kilometers north of the south bank of the Shule River.

The Western Han Dynasty was governed by Yumen Duwei's Mansion, and the Eastern Han Dynasty was governed by Yumen Houguan.

Everyone used binoculars to see a city ruins in the distance.

This is the ruins of Xiaofangpan City.

On the sandstone hillock in the narrow strip of Gobi Desert running from east to west, it belongs to the ruins of the barrier dock in the Qin and Han Dynasties.

This is a castle used for defense on the frontier fortresses of the Qin and Han dynasties, and it is also a large beacon.

Wu, a small fort for defense, was called Yucheng in the Qin and Han Dynasties.

Since the Song Dynasty, this place has become the world of nomads.

Since then, the nomads have pressed forward step by step and gradually expanded eastward, while the Central Plains dynasty retreated steadily and gradually retracted.

In the Yuan Dynasty, it was a paradise for nomads.

Yumen Pass, as an ancient pass, has lost its meaning of defense and defense.

There is also a dockyard outside Guancheng, and the remaining north-south dock wall in the east of the barrier is clearly distinguishable.

On the east and west sides of the barrier, there is the Great Wall, which stretches as far as the eye can see; to the south, there is the Great Wall leading to Yangguan.

The east-west and south-facing Great Wall stretches out in a T shape at Yumen Pass, and a square beacon tower is built every five or ten miles.

Look at the Guan wall at your feet. It is all made of rammed loess. There are inner and outer female walls. There is a horse path every ten feet.

Inside the closed wall, there are large reeds, apocynum, red willow and other plants growing.

Most of the walls are rammed with a layer of firewood and a layer of gravel, and the layers are connected, and the adhesion is very firm.

Although the outside is not covered with stones, but with the ancient conditions, there is nothing to be done about such a tall wall.

After several dynasties of weathering, the wall looks dilapidated, but as a defense, it is enough to resist the impact of cavalry.

After observing the surrounding situation, everyone approached Zhu Yunxi.

"King Wu, what tricks are the barbarians playing?"

Although Lan Shou is Zhu Yunxi's elder, Zhu Yunxi is the grandson of the emperor after all, no matter whether the occasion is formal or not, there is nothing wrong with calling him King Wu.

Zhu Yunxi said: "In the face of absolute strength, all tricks can only be tricks."

"No matter what tricks Wu Na Shili plays, no matter how devious he is, his hiding place must be in: Hami!"

"From the position of the king of Hami, who proclaimed himself Khan, Unasili's nest must be in Hami."

"So our way forward is clear: Hami!"

Chang Sheng agreed with Zhu Yunxi's opinion: "Who cares what he's thinking? Just go and take him to his lair!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little uneasy. Years of fighting made him smell something unusual.

Everything is full of weirdness!

At that time, when Muzha'er carried Wuna Shili on his shoulders and fled down the city, he shouted loudly to withdraw quickly, and retreated towards Yumen.

Why is there no shadow of a barbarian at Yumen Pass?

The news that the scouts of the former army found was that the Hu soldiers divided into two groups, one from the south and the other from the north, and went up the mountain.

I thought the Hu people were writing about water sources and rivers, but I didn't know that the river hadn't experienced any abnormalities along the way.

Where did they go?

Although many Hu people were killed and captured, their main force is still there.

And their soldiers are constantly being replenished along the way.

How could there be no trace of it?
Could it be that they really went up the mountain?
Could they find a way from the mountains, bypassing the desert west of the Yumen Pass ahead, and enter Hami, their lair?

Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the binoculars again and looked at the city gate.

This city gate is actually a gap.

It can be imagined that in the Qin, Han, and Tang dynasties, there was a tall and generous wooden door here.

Hundreds of years have passed, the wooden door has long since decayed, and there is no trace of it.

It has long been an unimpeded passage for nomads.

This place should be full of camel bells and prosperous business, but now it is extremely desolate.

Before and after the gap in the city gate is the transition zone of Gobi, beach and desert, and the imprints left are not easy to erase.

There are imprints on the ground, but definitely not within the past ten days.

Judging from the situation on the ground, Wuna Shili's army did not pass through here.

Zhu Yunxi called Chen Cheng, an official from Yingtian Mansion who accompanied the envoys and merchants from the Western Regions.

Chen Cheng took part in the examination of the Ministry of Rites the year before last and won the Juren, and was awarded the Ministry of Officials Department of Pedestrians, in charge of edicts, canonization, edicts and other affairs.

Chen Cheng's father was a businessman in his early years and traveled thousands of miles to see the wonders of the mountains and rivers, the magnificence of the cities, and the prosperity of the people. Therefore, Chen Cheng talked about the scenery of various places in the right way.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that this person was an envoy, so when he set off from Yingtian, he was asked to manage and coordinate fifty envoys and businessmen from the Western Regions.

Chen Cheng and several merchants from the Western Regions said that Dunhuang can be reached to the southwest from Yumen Pass, and the vast desert is to the north of Dunhuang.

After walking through the desert for [-] miles, there is a gap in the northeast. This gap is called Heifengchuan, and it can reach Hami from Heifengchuan.

This road is the most difficult part of the Western Regions trade and tribute.

At both ends of the desert, there are often people waiting in place.

Some people wait for the weather, when there is really no sandstorm before leaving.

Most people are waiting for others, walking in the desert, the less people the more dangerous, the more people the safer.

Most merchants have to wait until there are about 50 people, and prepare water, food and strong ropes.

Horses, camels, and people are all tied together so they won't be buried or swept away by sandstorms.

That is to say, it is not particularly difficult for the tens of thousands of Hu people led by Wu Na Shili and Mu Zhaer to cross the desert.

Zhu Yunxi was fascinated by the mountains in the distance.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang moved closer to Zhu Yunxi.

"Entering Hami from Mazong Mountain is 700 years later."

"After 700 years, the highway was built from here."

Zhu Yuanzhang was excited, the third grandson really knew the history and the future!

The third grandson knows what happened 700 years later!
"Entering Horsemane Mountain, walking is extremely difficult, even more difficult than crossing the desert. Because this is a road that no one has traveled."

"Walking a road is hard, opening a road is even harder, and opening a new road is even more difficult."

"Mazong Mountain is nothing, the key point is that Qilian Mountain is even more terrifying."

"I don't understand why Wuna Shili and Muzha'er came here."

"Obviously, they're feinting! Just for our scouts to see!"

"The way they chose to go back to Hami must be the desert and the Heifeng River."

"If I were Wuna Shili and Muzar, I would never leave marks in such an obvious place!"

"With such a big gap, choosing this place to go is obviously lack of thoughtfulness."

"They will leave imprints, but the imprints are not here!"

"Eliminate imprints, hide imprints, with what to erase, with what to hide?"

"Haha, I see, it's water!"

"The highest goodness is like water! Water can overwhelm everything, and water can eliminate everything!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned. It is true that water can remove the imprints. However, for more than [-] people in Wuna Shili and Muzhaer, to erase their imprints, they have to be washed with water!
How much water does it take? !How many people does it take? !
Those who use water to eliminate their imprints, who will eliminate their imprints?

This is simply unrealistic!
