Chapter 1212

East of Lijue Pass, the Liangzhou army's camp was located on the flat ground between the valleys behind Lijue Pass.

Lijue Pass, later known as Tiemen Pass, is a natural majestic pass across the northern line of the Western Regions.

This place was formed by an earthquake zone extending from the Tianshan Mountains, connecting to the Tianshan Mountains in the north and crossing the Gobi in the south.

It is also the only way from Qiuci east to the Yanqi Kingdom.

The tributary of Bosten Lake from east to west passes through here, forming a rare oasis in the sea of sand.

Just a few days ago, on the eighth day of the fourth month, the Liangzhou army defeated the Yanqi Kingdom east of Lijue Pass with overwhelming strength.

The eighth day of the fourth month is a very important festival in the Yanqi Kingdom.

Like the Cheshi Kingdom, the Yanqi Kingdom reveres Buddhism, and on the eighth day of the fourth month, they hold extremely important fasting and Dharma activities. All the people and monks in the country hold sacrificial days on this day.

This news happened to be learned by Duan Yu, and then on the seventh day of the fourth month, he led cavalry to hide near Liangcheng, the capital of the Yanqi Kingdom.

However, when the eighth day of the fourth month arrived, he suddenly launched an attack on Yanqi, directly capturing the Yanqi King Yuan Long.

Yanqi King Yuan Long subsequently expressed his submission to the Great Han and sent the prince to Liangzhou as a hostage.

And Duan Yu also ordered a Liangzhou army to be left behind, and let Yanqi send troops to cooperate in the expedition against Wusun.

Yanqi King Yuan Long sent the three thousand most elite troops of Liangcheng to Duan Yu.

East of Lijue Pass, inside the Liangzhou army's camp.

Duan Yu was sitting in his main army tent.

The floor of the tent was covered with soft blankets.

The desk was placed horizontally in front of Duan Yu.

It was filled with fresh fish, lamb, freshly slaughtered beef, and dried fruits and fine wine from the Western Regions.

The silver wine utensils and bowls and chopsticks were full of texture.

Duan Yu, wearing only a black robe, had his chest open, revealing granite-like chest muscles, and the well-defined abdominal muscles were as perfect as if carved by the hands of heaven.

The black robe was embroidered with cloud patterns in gold thread, luxurious and solemn.

And in front of Duan Yu, who was lying on his side, Yimei was sticking to Duan Yu's chest like a tamed Persian cat.

Her gilded long hair flowed to her waist like molten gold when it hung down, and two strands of hair at her temples were adorned with precious peacock blue glass beads.

Those emerald green eyes were like turquoise polished by the wind and sand of the desert, and the corners of her eyes were slightly raised, adorned with vine patterns drawn in gold foil, and her movements carried a unique, lazy, and seductive charm of the exotic land.
