Chapter 400: All the way west

Views:

"My lord, crossing the Yellow River is my Tubo border!" Gal Dongzan pointed to Qinghai, which is separated by a river. Qinghai was under the jurisdiction of Tubo in the Tang Dynasty. It took half a month for the entire marrying team to follow the original plan. The route arrives in Hezhou.

The marriage of the Princess of the Tang Dynasty to Tubo has spread throughout the entire Tang Dynasty, and officials from various states and counties will personally greet and see him off. It can be said that in the entire territory of the Tang Dynasty, the Jiajiao group did not receive any resistance, but as the terrain went westward, the tour speed was slower.

Li Kuan originally planned to go back and forth in about a month, but now it seems to be estimated to take two months. As the terrain gets higher and higher, the altitude climate reaction is getting heavier. There are no less than 400 people in the team experiencing altitude sickness. If you speed up, it will cause sleepiness, and the journey will become slower and slower.

When the marrying guards arrived at the Hezhou Ferry, they looked at the nine bends and eighteen bends of the Yellow River, and everyone was attracted by the beautiful scenery. It was the first time that most of the guards saw such clear and transparent Yellow River water, which was very different from the turbid Yellow River water they saw.

Standing on the hilltop of the ferry and looking down at the Yellow River in front, it looks like a blue streamer encircling the ground. The slowly flowing river water is endless like life, and the blue is pure and soft. Under the shining of the sun, it was shining with blue light, and it seemed calm and peaceful.

The water of the Yellow River flows from west to east and meets the obstacles of mountains and rocks, and the light figure avoids it perfectly, just like a dancer wearing a blue dress dancing gracefully, which makes people dazzling and fascinated. Out of the field of vision, there were bursts of rushing sound. This was the movement of the Yellow River when it was in the water. Although the huge sound was invisible, it could be heard clearly, as if thousands of horses were rushing.

At the junction of the two places, from a distance, you will see the peaks of heavy mountains and mountains, and the white snow on the tops of the mountains can be vaguely seen. At the peaks, there are white clouds lingering again, which makes people fascinated and awe-inspiring like a fairyland on earth.

The rolling mountains are closely connected, connected to the sky, and connected to the earth, like a legendary ladder connecting heaven and earth. At this moment, I feel that people are very small. Looking at the towering mountain peaks, the height that is difficult to climb is daunting.

Due to the large number of marrying guards, ordinary ferry boats cannot accommodate so many people, so they have to take a day off at Hezhou Dutou. After crossing the Yellow River, entering Qinghai will have a complete plateau climate, with long sunshine hours, strong radiation and large temperature differences between day and night.

After crossing the Yellow River and entering the eastern part of northern Qinghai, the amount of rain continued to decrease as it progressed westward, and it was prone to lack of oxygen. Although it is February, the climate is cold and dry, the coldest time of the year is January, and the hottest is July.

Even after the coldest month, I still feel cold when I enter Qinghai, and the road behind will be more difficult to walk. After a night’s rest and replenishment of enough water, ten more ships were hired from the boat’s owner to prepare to send them to the opposite shore in batches.

Due to the time difference, when the sun in Hezhou was completely out, it was already late. The people crossed the Yellow River in batches to reach the Dragon City in Qinghai. Li Kuan was responsible for the break and was the last group to cross the Yellow River. Li Daozong was the first batch, and Princess Wencheng's carriage team was the middle batch.

It’s already four quarters before everyone has completely crossed the Yellow River. Most of the Dragon City area is mountainous, with the lowest altitude of more than two kilometers, and the terrain is complex, with ravines and ravines. The stroke speed is slower.

Even so, everyone had to continue to the northwest. Fortunately, although the altitude was high and the terrain was complicated, the difference was no more than 300 meters, which allowed everyone to adapt to the climate here as quickly as possible. If it were not for the Tubo mission to lead the way and let them go by themselves, I really don't know where to go.

The shortest route from Dragon City to Shanzhou is only 60 kilometers. However, the rugged and complicated mountain road makes the journey difficult. It also took seven days for this road to reach Shanzhou, which is now the capital of Qinghai. Xining City.

After the people arrived in Shanzhou, they rested on the spot again for three days. Gardongzan also received a reply from Tubo Zanpu. The letter stated that Tubo Zanpu Songtsen Gambo personally led the imperial guards to set off. Li Daozong was a little overwhelmed after the long journey. After a three-day rest period, everyone adjusted again and continued to travel west until Linfan City, and then arrived at Sui Rong City.

As soon as you look around, there are grazing cattle and sheep, and the flocks of cattle and sheep are quietly eating grass with their heads down. Suirong City has longer sunshine hours than before. The climate is arid and cold, and the temperature difference between day and night is very large, causing hundreds of people in the guard group to show symptoms of inadequacy.

Everyone had to rest here again, and after a while, they continued along the Qiang River, passing through the four places of Shibao City, Chiling, Yuchichuan and Moliyi, but they had only traveled this way for a month. Out of the boundary of Shanzhou.

Moliyi is also the only way to connect the ancient road between Tang and Tibet. The endless mountains of Chongshan make this place the most important place for rest and recuperation. Everyone had to stay for another five days. Even with the beautiful scenery and culture, Li Kuan had no time to appreciate it.

The main responsibility of his visit this time is to protect the safety of the marrying group. When he stepped into the territory of Tubo and was no longer in the border of the Tang Dynasty, many things could not be said for sure. This also caused the pressure of everyone to increase sharply, and even the place to rest and rehabilitate. Must be the best place to stay.

To put it plainly is a place that can be retreated and can be attacked. No one can guarantee that there will be small-scale troops from other countries. In fact, it is Tuyuhun that really needs defense. After all, there were countless battles between Tubo and Tuyuhun. Datang and Tuyuhun also fought. The political instability in Tuyuhun made this trip full of variables.

After the marriage guard mission rested and reorganized, they continued to move forward, passing through Dafeichuan, Naluyi, Nuanquan, and Liemohai. This road was also uncomfortable for everyone, even if it was mostly plains, but the higher the altitude, the higher the altitude. High, now the average altitude is 3,000 meters, altitude sickness is not only for people, but even horses can’t stand it. In order to ensure the itinerary, the horses will be changed at the inn on the way.

Long distance travel plus long time and different climate from the Central Plains, exhaustion of hundreds of horses is already the most normal thing. At the same time, everyone rested in the Liemohai area, and then set up camp for a temporary rest. Gal Dongzan took out the route map and looked at the next stop, "Crossing the Sea". He meditated for a moment and was overjoyed: "My lord, this place is the end of the trip. one stop!"

Li Daozong, Li Kuan and others managed to squeeze out a smile. They were exhausted from the journey, and they were as relaxed as the Tubo mission. Princess Wencheng was arranged to rest in a separate camp, except for the maidservant Xiaocui and the nurse, no one else was allowed to approach.

Now that I heard that there is one last stop, everyone feels a little relieved. (End of this chapter)
