The journey from Yinzhou to Gobi is naturally much shorter than the last time Zhao Muyun and his team set out from Piantou Pass.
Walking along the Zishui River to the riverside, you will reach the southern part of the Gobi Desert.
There is also a road here that leads to the salt lake where the Wuhuan people live.
Along with Huan Naxue, there were also one hundred Wuhuan cavalrymen and more than one hundred ordinary horses.
I guess after so long, the salt lake has produced a lot of salt and can be transported out.
The success of the transport means opening up a salt road.
The remaining 200 Wuhuan cavalrymen remained in Yinzhou Prefecture and were temporarily commanded by Tang Yanhai and Wang Tiezhu. They were mixed into the scout camp as a patrol force.
Although King Zhelan's army has retreated and suffered little loss, they have gained nothing and have also been looted, resulting in food shortages.
In addition, Zhao Muyun and his men harassed many tribes last time and killed all the men who were taller than the wheels, resulting in an excessively high proportion of women and children.
King Zhelan would probably have a headache adopting these people.
However, King Zhelan suffered a setback in Shuozhou, and his target shifted to Weizhou, southeast of Yunzhou.
Compared with Shuozhou, the defense of Weizhou is weaker, and from Weizhou, it is easy to enter the Dayin Plain area, which is more suitable for cavalry to gallop.
It is a place with a large population and is extremely wealthy.
Instead of fighting to the death in Shuozhou, it is better to change direction.
At this time, King Zhelan was like a hungry wolf on the grassland. When he hit a wall and couldn't find food here, he went to hunt on the other side.
Therefore, they will not send a large army out to plunder and solve the problem of food for the time being, but there should be small-scale sneak attacks.
Leaving behind 200 Wuhuan cavalry equipped with brand-new composite bows was more than enough to deal with the Tatars who came to attack.
Huan Naxue was familiar with this road and soon arrived at the weathered stone line where he had ambushed the hundred Tatars in Hun Gudu last time.
Looking at the narrow entrance, the fierce killing scene that day seemed to have just happened.
The wind blew through the cracks in the rocks, making a humming sound, as if it were the cry of battle.
Zhao Muyun turned his head to Huan Naxue beside him and said, "Xue'er, this is where we first met."
"You were truly brave that day, wielding the giant sword like a god. I thought you were a man!"
"Brother Yun, if you hadn't shot me with that arrow, I would have died under the knife of that bronze-armored Tartar. From that moment on, my heart has belonged to you!" Huan Naxue said seriously.
Or the foreign beauties are straightforward, they like what they like, they dare to love and hate without hiding anything.
The young lady from the Bai family, however, was much more reserved. Although she had feelings for someone, she asked someone to give her something to show her feelings.
I wonder what Miss Bai is doing at this moment?
When Zhao Muyun thought of this, he couldn't help but touch the hairpin on his head.
"Brother Yun, what are you thinking about? I've already said this, why don't you give me any response?"
Huan Naxue felt a little disappointed when she saw that Zhao Muyun did not respond to her.
"I didn't think anything!" Zhao Muyun blushed slightly, feeling guilty. "It was a very dangerous situation at that time. Fortunately, I acted in time, otherwise I would have missed such a beautiful woman like you."
Huan Naxue was satisfied to hear Zhao Muyun's praise.
The group slowly crossed the narrow gap in the sky.
The huge rock that Wang Tiezhu and Shi Yong pushed down from the hillside to stop the Tartar cavalry had already been pushed aside.
The road was clear, but the smell of blood was still strong.
After leaving the narrow gap, we soon arrived at the salt lake.
"They're back! They're back!"
As soon as Zhao Muyun and others appeared in the sight of the Wuhuan people, someone shouted excitedly, and then many Wuhuan people immediately gathered around after hearing the noise.
With Zhao Muyun's promise, one hundred Wuhuan cavalrymen ran towards their families.
It was a scene of reunion after a long separation by the salt lake.
"Captain Zhao, it's great to have you back!"
Upon learning that Zhao Muyun and others had arrived, my second uncle and his group had already come out to greet them.
Seeing the neat and well-equipped cavalry team, Second Uncle and others felt that their investment at that time was right!
"Four uncles, have you missed me?" Huan Naxue asked mischievously.
"Once a woman is married, she is like spilled water. What's there to think about?" Uncle Kui laughed.
Huan Naxue pouted and said, "Okay! Since you don't want to, then I'll leave?"
"Whether you leave or not is not up to us to decide. You have to ask Sergeant Zhao!" Uncle Kui nodded at Zhao Muyun.
"Uncle Kui, he is now the commander of Yinzhou Prefecture, and is on equal footing with me, the commander of Fengzhou Prefecture." Huan Naxue said loudly.
What!
Captain?
Uncle Kui and the others couldn't help but widen their eyes in shock.
They also knew something about the promotion system in the Dayin Army.
It can be said that the promotion from a sergeant to a captain can be achieved by killing the enemies.
But the transition from a centurion to a captain is like a chasm that is not so easy to cross.
However, Zhao Muyun did it!
Moreover, he was promoted directly from a squad leader to a captain, achieving a three-level jump.
That means he must have made great contributions by borrowing troops from Wuhuan, otherwise he would not have been able to become a prefectural commander.
Uncle Kui and others showed surprise on their faces.
If Zhao Muyun gets promoted, then the people under him will definitely get promoted as well.
Except for Huan Naxue, the other Wuhuan women who were chosen to accompany Zhao Muyun's men must have been lucky enough to become the women of Dayin officers.
In this case, the arrangements for that night were really worth it.
With their interests tied together, the revival of the Karasuma clan is just around the corner.
"Captain Zhao...Captain Zhao, congratulations!" Uncle Kui and others immediately congratulated him.
