After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains

Because in the process of searching, Yan Jinyin discovered that it was impossible to find a person in this vast land relying on just his three teams.

Local people must be involved.

But the tribes are already scattered, and the harsh living environment makes it difficult for them to survive. Who would pay attention to the whereabouts of a strange woman?

If you want them to truly care, you have to conquer them and make them the people of Dajing.

Yan Jinyin's proposal was not groundless.

Yumen Pass is the last line of defense against the invasion of Tubo.

The Hexi Corridor originally belonged to Dajing's territory, and the people there all had a favorable impression of Dajing's gentle rule.

Dajing was a land of vast resources, and it adopted a laissez-faire approach to governing Hexi, only sending officials to collect commercial taxes. For an agricultural society, Dajing's roots were in grain-producing areas, and it did not value commerce.

Also because of the relaxed policies, the Hexi Corridor was extremely prosperous and trade routes were unobstructed at that time.

The lives of ordinary people are much better than they are now.

Yan Shiyan convened an internal meeting and finalized a plan to gradually recover Hexi.

The process of conquest was unexpectedly smooth.

The common people don’t care whether you are Tubo or Dajing, as long as you can live a good life.

After the sandbar was recaptured by Suojibu, many local forces stopped to watch.

When she saw that the princess sent by Dajing had disappeared, she thought it was another failure, but she didn't expect that Dajing was serious.

Wherever the expeditionary army passed, tribes large and small surrendered upon hearing the news.

The commander of Yumen Pass was overjoyed.

He is a veteran who has spent a lot of effort in defending Yumen Pass. He didn't expect that he could make such a great contribution before retiring!

God knows how terrified he was when the eldest princess disappeared in his territory.

He was afraid that one day a decree would come to hold him accountable for his sins.

He gave his best reception and sent out his most elite troops to escort them, but who knew that they would encounter a rare sandstorm?

There has never been a sandstorm on that route.

How could he know that it was not that it had never happened before, but that the conditions for its formation were harsh.

The guide saw that a sandstorm was about to happen, so he led the delegation along that route.

When Yan Shiyan and his men arrived, he breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he was secretly worried: What can a little kid accomplish?

If the other party had not been the third young master of the eldest princess, he would not have shown up to receive him.

Now, in the face of facts, all concerns have disappeared.

As one tribe after another merged into the territory of Dajing, Qin Yaoguang's whereabouts gradually became clear.

What surprised the defending general even more was that Prince Anle regained control of the military and led 30,000 elite troops, marching 800 miles a day.

That’s Yan Changqing, the god of war in the army!

Even if he was only leading the troops temporarily to investigate the disappearance of the eldest princess, he believed that with the general who would guard the country, not to mention finding the eldest princess, it would be just a matter of time to recover Guazhou and Liangzhou and repel Tubo.

Let alone anything else, these children alone have already made him look at them with new eyes!

Three days later, flags were fluttering at Yumen Pass.

Yan Changqing has arrived.

Among these 30,000 elite soldiers, 10,000 belonged to the capital camp and followed Yan Changqing out of the capital.

Another ten thousand were temporarily transferred from other prefectures by the Weiwei Temple, and another ten thousand followed Yan Changqing's direct lineage and rushed from the northern Rong border.

When they heard that there was a war to be fought, everyone's eyes lit up and they were ready to fight.

They came from afar at dawn and dusk, looking dusty and exhausted, but they were in neat uniform and followed orders.

The battle array beneath Yumen Pass was so solemn and dignified that even the horses could feel the aura and did not dare to neigh easily.

The commander of Yumen Pass was secretly shocked.

It would be fine if there were only Yan Changqing's direct descendants, but there are obviously 20,000 of them who were temporarily put together, and in Yan Changqing's hands, they were integrated into a solid force.

It is not easy.

They were still reorganizing their troops while on a forced march, and I don't know how the other side did it.

All we can say is that the god of war in the army has his own methods and his title is not in vain.

Judging from the situation, Tubo must be crushed to pieces.

As the front line against Tubo, Yumen Pass was already stationed with 20,000 elite troops and several thousand logistics soldiers.

As soon as Yan Changqing's 30,000 elite soldiers arrived, the defending general began to worry about food and stationing issues.

As for whether Yan Changqing's arrival would divide his power and affect his military achievements, he was not worried at all.

Who are you?

Who is the other party?

He is the only Prince Anle in this dynasty who was granted the title of king with a different surname. What else can he fight for?

The word "competition" is usually based on a situation where the status and abilities are equal.

He and Yan Changqing, although not completely different, at least have very different statuses, so he just has to cooperate.

Unlike the day when he returned triumphantly, Yan Changqing wore tanned cowhide armor that was more suitable for long-distance travel. Only the front and back of his chest were cold-forged armor to protect his vital parts.

This outfit is lighter and more convenient for fighting on horseback, and is the equipment of light cavalry.

He stood in the hall. Even though his face was covered in dust from the rapid march, it did not detract from his tall and handsome appearance. However, his eyes were as sharp and cold as a knife.

He looks like a battlefield demon.

The maid who served him tea was so nervous that she didn't dare to look at him, and the teacup even bumped against the table when it was placed on it.

Yan Changqing got straight to the point and showed the garrison commander a military order issued by the Weiwei Temple, signed by Xie Shu and sealed with the imperial seal, and said: "The troops I brought with me will be stationed inside the pass. In addition, the general does not need to worry about food and fodder. The baggage and fodder will arrive in five days."

After the bloody lesson more than ten years ago, Yan Changqing did not dare to hand over the important task of transporting food and fodder to others.

He selected the troops in the capital, personally supervised the supply of grain and fodder, and appointed Donglin as the grain transport officer to go out of the capital with him.

It’s just that he was marching at a fast pace, and his speed was much faster than the food and fodder.

As soon as these words came out, the guard felt relieved: "My Lord, you have come from afar, shall we welcome you tonight?"

This is a question.

Hearing that the prince was a simple person and the eldest princess was still missing, he couldn't figure out his temper, so he tried to test him.

Sure enough, Yan Changqing waved his hand and said, "No need, just settle the army, I will make the rest."

"Yes, I will obey your orders."

After he stepped down, he finally realized how it was so natural for him to regard himself as a subordinate of the prince.

It is obvious that he is also a general guarding a place.

Perhaps, this is the secret of the Prince's leading the troops.

He immediately called his deputy general and his advisor to help Yan Changqing set up camp for the 30,000 elite soldiers he had brought with him.

These 30,000 are all cavalry.

After defeating the Northern Rong, Dajing, which mainly relied on farming, had a sufficient source of war horses, and its army became stronger.

"Father!"

Yan Shiyan came to pay his respects with Yan Jinyin and Yan Jinyang. He went straight to the point and clearly recounted what he had done since arriving in Yumen.

He knew that his father would not be in the mood to listen to anything else until his mother was found.

After hearing about his achievements, Yan Changqing's eyes became warmer: "Well done!"

"Father, mother should be in an oasis tribe deep in the desert. Some people heard that a very beautiful stranger woman called Atuma came to their tribe."
