It is said that the west wind was so strong that the soldiers' lips were all dry and cracked, and the skin on many people's faces was blown into pieces.
In order not to expose his whereabouts and to keep the soldiers and horses in sufficient physical and mental condition, Chu Ge led the soldiers to march day and night in accordance with Zhao Ziliang's instructions.
During the march, they encountered sudden cavalry or herdsmen and killed them without giving up.
News leaked.
After three days of marching, Chu Ge and three hundred cavalry finally arrived at the source of the Diaohuan River near Dundo City at dusk.
From a distance, I saw an earthen city on the other side of the river.
Outside the earthen city, there were three or five shepherds driving herds of cattle and sheep to prepare to enter the city.
There were no soldiers on duty on the city wall.
"Lieutenant, hurry up and cross the river.
Cross the river now and rush into the city.
Take advantage of the night to kill the Tuqishi troops in many cities."
The deputy lieutenant suggested to Chu Ge.
Chu Ge looked at it, shook his head and said: "Now crossing the river will definitely be discovered by the Tuqishi people.
By the time we get to the city, the Tuqishi people have already closed the city gate.
And you see, the river is too deep now, and the water flow It’s too urgent.
It’s too dangerous to cross the river now.
We’d better wait until nightfall before crossing the river.
Anyway, the walls of the Tucheng are not high and are in dilapidated state.
We’ll cross the river first after dark, and then send a few people over to look for a gap through which we can enter the city.”
In fact, the Tuqishi people do not have the tradition and habit of building cities.
The towns where the Tuqishi people now live were built during the Tang Army's Western Expeditions.
After the Tang Dynasty forces withdrew from Suiye Town, the Tuqishi people After occupying these towns, the Tuqishi people who lived in the towns found that living in the city was much safer than living in the wilderness, so they stayed.
Chu Ge and others hid in the grassland on the other side of the river, resting and eating dry food, and waited until dark before slowly crossing the river.
The water in the river was a bit deep and very cold.
The water was the snow water flowing down after the ice and snow on the Tianshan Mountains melted.
After nightfall, the temperature dropped and the melting rate of snow water slowed down.
Therefore, the river water began to fall back and the flow rate slowed down.
By late night, the river water was just deep enough for the army to cross the river.
Three hundred cavalry stood by the river.
Chu Ge gave the order and the front row of cavalry rode up and started to cross the river.
No one spoke during the entire crossing.
It was very smooth.
All three hundred people arrived on the other side in less than half an hour.
Jumping off his horse, Chu Ge immediately said to his lieutenant: "Immediately send a few smart soldiers to find a gap that can enter the city.
Remember, don't ride a horse."
"clear" Under the assignment of the deputy lieutenant, the figures of the four soldiers quickly disappeared into the night.
Half an hour later, two of the four scouting soldiers came back.
One of them said to Chu Ge and the deputy lieutenant: "Colonel, we have already contacted our army in the town.
The other two and him are waiting.
"The Gap to the East" Upon hearing this, Chu Ge immediately said to the lieutenant: "Send the order, everyone sets out and leads the horse over.
No one is allowed to ride a horse."
"promise" The earthen wall on the east side is close to the snow-capped mountains.
Due to being washed away by snow all year round, the earthen wall on the east side is very dilapidated and has collapsed in several places.
Xizuo and two other soldiers squatted at the first gap.
When Na Xizuo saw Chu Ge, he said: "Meet the general."

Chu Ge waved his hand: "I am just a captain, not a general.
Let me ask you, do you know how many troops there are in the town and where they are stationed?"
Na Xizuo said: "I know, there are only two hundred cavalry in the city, all of them are Master Muzar's family soldiers.
These two hundred people are stationed in the barracks next to Master Muzar's mansion."
After hearing Xi Zuo's words, Chu Ge remembered what Zhao Ziliang said before leaving, "Kill the leader and all his family members, distribute his cattle and sheep to the residents and soldiers in the town, and win their hearts.
They will not resist." , and will support us.”
Thinking of this, Chu Ge immediately said to the lieutenant: "Take fifty people to guard the exits outside the town, strengthen patrols, and don't let anyone go."
The deputy lieutenant cupped his hands and said: "No" Chu Ge pointed at Xizuo again and said, "Please lead our captain to Master Muzar's house."
"Master Lieutenant Nuo, please follow me."
Chu Ge waved his hand, and after entering the town through the gap, he ordered everyone to mount their war horses.
Under the leadership of Xizuo, they quickly arrived at Muzar's mansion.
Two hundred and fifty cavalrymen ran in a small town and soon woke up all the Tuqishi people in the town.
When all the Tuqishi people in the town woke up, Chu Ge had already led his army to surround Dundo.
The residence of Muzar, the owner of the city.
"You each lead a hundred men to surround the barracks.
Don't let anyone else go and rush in with me."
Chu Ge pulled out his horizontal sword and shouted.
"promise" "kill" "kill" Chu Ge's sneak attack was very successful.
The Tuqishi people in Dunduo City did not expect that the Tang army would sneak attack here.
They were not vigilant and unprepared, how could they not be attacked by a sneak attack?
Muzar, who was in his fifties, was captured.
He was picked up from the couch by Chu Ge.
Also captured on the same couch as him was a little girl in her teens.
After escorting Muzar out of the mansion, Chu Ge held the handle of the knife and said, "Master Muzar, right?
Dundo City has been conquered by me.
Surrender or seek death, it's your choice."
The bearded Muzar stared at Chu Ge with his eyes, almost spitting out fire.
He gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Cunning Tang people, you think you can defeat our sudden cavalry by conquering a useless city of Dundo."
Have you tried it?
I tell you that in your dream, the fire-breathing fairy Khan will definitely kill you and defeat you."
Chu Ge snorted coldly: "Humph, instead of worrying about the future, you should worry about your own safety now.
Since you have no choice, then this captain will choose someone for you and take him, his wife and children to the barracks."
"promise" Chu Ge took some people to escort Muzar's family to the barracks, leaving some soldiers to search Muzar's mansion and pack away all the gold, silver and jewelry, leaving only the things that could not be taken away.
The Tuoqi Shi cavalry who were surrounded by the barracks tried to rush out of the barracks several times, but were pushed back.
It was not until Chu Ge escorted Muzar's family to the entrance of the barracks that the Tuoqi Shi cavalry who were surrounded by the barracks were Only then did the Shi cavalrymen stop thinking of continuing to force a breakout.
Early the next morning, Xizuo came and reported to Chu Ge: "Master Xiaowei, the villain has been found out.
Muzar has more than 7,000 cattle, sheep and horses.
Almost all the shops in the city are under his name.
Those residents are all He rented his shop and house.
Muzar has been doing evil ever since he was sent to Dundo City by the Fire Breathing Immortal.
Many Tuqisi people in the town have been bullied by him."
Chu Ge nodded when he heard this and said: "I understand.
You go down first.
If anything happens, the captain will send someone to call you."
"promise" "Come here, notify all the Tuqi Shi soldiers in the town to gather outside the city, and escort all the 200 Tuqi Shi soldiers in the barracks outside the city."

There are only two thousand people in the town, and many of them are children and the elderly.
Children and the elderly account for more than half, and women account for more than a quarter, so there are less than 500 young people.
Chu Ge walked to the wall of Tucheng, waved his hand and shouted: "Come here, escort Muzar's family over here."
The dejected and decadent Muzar and his family were all escorted to the earth city wall.
Chu Ge pointed at Muzar and shouted to all the Tuqishi people under the city wall: "This is the Muzar who is dominating the city of Dundo."
Master Zar, now that he and his whole family have been captured by us, and all his minions have been captured by us, you no longer need to be afraid of him."
After hearing this, the more than two thousand Tuqishi people under the city wall began to whisper and discuss among themselves.
"Come on, kill Muzar and his whole family."
"promise" The axe-hand raised his sword, and bursts of sword light flashed, and Muzar and his whole family were all beheaded.
Seeing this scene, many people in the city suddenly cried and shouted in sadness: "Well done, well done."
Seeing that the effect was of no avail, Chu Ge added: "The houses and shops you rented used to belong to Muzar.
Now, I am announcing that these shops and houses are all your own.
You no longer need to ask anyone for help."
Pay the rent.
You can sell it if you want.
You can keep it or do business if you want.
No one can interfere with you."
More than two thousand Tuqishi people in the city were dumbfounded when they heard the news.
This was simply impossible.
How could such a good thing happen?
One of the old Tuqishi people asked carefully: "General of the Tang Dynasty, what you said is true. "?"
"Of course, I can guarantee that even if Dundo City has a new city lord in the future, this will not change."
Suddenly, all the Tuqishi people under the city cheered loudly and knelt down and worshiped on the city wall together.
Chu Ge looked at all this and admired Zhao Ziliang so much.
It turned out that it was so easy to conquer a nation, and it was just a little benefit.
More than two thousand Tuqishi herdsmen and people below the city cheered and made noise for a quarter of an hour before gradually stopping.
Chu Ge then asked the soldiers to bring over two hundred Tuqishi prisoners.
Each of the Tuqishi prisoners stood dejectedly under the city wall.
The Tuqishi residents in the town had not dispersed yet, and they were all not far away.
Watch.
"I'll give you two choices," Chu Ge said and looked at the reactions below.
Sure enough, most of the prisoners raised their heads.
Chu Ge continued: "First, join us and become a member of my general's command.
The meeting gift is four sheep and a bunch of copper coins for each person.
In addition to the same monthly military salary as other Tang Army soldiers, there will be additional bonuses for each battle.
Reward, the size of the reward depends on whether you are loyal and your military exploits.
Sure, when you fight under my general, your achievements will not be buried, and all your efforts will be rewarded.
If someone takes your credit, you can report it directly to my general or me.
Second, you have surrendered now.
But those who don’t want to join us can come forward.”
The two hundred Tuqishi soldiers below the city looked at each other, and a dozen of them stood up simply.
Chu Ge waved his hand, and some soldiers rushed over from the outside, took down the dozen Tuqishi soldiers who stood firm, and beheaded them one by one not far away.
This hand suppressed all the Tuqi Shi and the Tuqi Shi soldiers who were watching in the town.
These soldiers were a little commotion, but they were quickly stopped by Chu Ge: "Everyone be quiet, these are stubborn people, and they will die as long as they deserve it."
If you are loyal to my general, obey military orders, and fight the enemy bravely, no one will do this to you.

Not only will you be respected, but you will also receive a lot of rewards.
As a reward, only loyal warriors will always be respected.
You should be such a person.

After completing the oath, you can receive the reward of four sheep and a bunch of copper coins
