"One hundred and eighty miles to the Kamo Stone Forest?" Zhe Zhichang recalled. He had heard of this place. It seemed to be an ancient battlefield. There was a lack of water in it. Neither the Uighurs nor the Han Chinese and Tibetans basically walked here. It was considered a place.

Natural border barrier.

Looking ahead, Zhao Tong was about to enter the stone forest while riding his horse. Zhe Zhichang was shocked and shouted hurriedly: "Your Majesty, we can't enter. That's the Kamo Stone Forest."

Before he could even finish his words, Zhao Tong could no longer be seen in front of him. Zhe Zhichang gritted his teeth and had no idea what to do. He thought to himself that Stone Forest was just Stone Forest. The lack of water seemed to be something that could not be solved. There was just some trouble in the ancient battlefield. Inside

May become disoriented.

But now that Zhao Tong had entered, how could he not enter? Zhe Zhichang hurriedly ordered all the troops to chase him into the stone forest.

After entering the stone forest, there was no trace of Zhao Tong. At this moment, the sky was about to light up and I saw a vast expanse of white ahead filled with mist.

What a hell of a weather! Zhe Zhichang knew that there is often fog in Longyou in late autumn, but he didn’t expect that the fog in this stone forest would be so heavy.

He looked around, feeling panic in his heart. He had no choice but to hold on. If he saw Zhao Tong, he would definitely invite the young prince back even if he threatened to commit suicide.

He was groping forward with his men and horses, when suddenly there was a noise in front of him. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a group of Uighur cavalry circling in circles, looking for something.

There were not many cavalry in this group, only about a hundred people. Zhe Zhichang didn’t know if Zhao Tong had encountered this group of cavalry, but Liyanaza took almost these people away at that time, and he thought to himself, it couldn’t be a small group of cavalry.

Is the prince trapped here?

Thinking of this, Zhe Zhichang's eyes turned red, he held a gun in one hand and shouted: "Kill him!" The soldiers from Longyou behind immediately followed him and rushed forward.

Let’s talk about Zhao Tong. At that time, he rode his horse in front of the stone forest. There was no need to pursue him. It was right for the enemy to retreat while we advanced. However, it had to be based on the environment at that time. This large stone forest was in line with the principle of not entering the forest, no matter the woods.

, whether it is a stone forest, it is still a forest.

Moreover, this location is a natural barrier. Neither the Song Dynasty nor the Uighurs thought of destroying it. After all, there is this 180-mile stone forest, which is beneficial to both parties.

He didn't know about this ancient formation at first. In fact, after the chaos of the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, many ancient military techniques were lost, including many ancient formations. The remaining formations in the world today are less than 10% of those from the Qin and Han Dynasties.

The sky was getting brighter now, and he rode towards the center of the formation.

Those lost ancient formations can only be recorded in some books, but no one knows how to arrange them.

But unless he understands the formation, who can go so far? Zhao Tong thought in his mind, secretly thinking, could it be Liyanaza? I remember that the Uighur scout Dafanha once said that Liyanaza wanted to find a place, and there was also a place.

An ancient sheepskin picture, could it be that the place she was looking for was deep in the Camo Stone Forest?

Zhao Tong couldn't help but frown secretly when he thought of this. Is there anything worth exploring in the center of this stone forest? Otherwise, how could Ilianaza have such a temperamental temperament that he would run into this place.

If it is the Protectorate of the Western Regions, the site of the Protectorate of Anxi is obviously not possible, because the location is simply wrong, and the difference is too far.

Zhao Tong thought for a moment and suddenly accelerated forward. After a while, he broke through the stone forest formation and came to the center. He saw a dilapidated ancient city right in front of him.

There is a slightly complete building in the center of the city. Judging from its location and layout, this building should be the administrative seat of this ancient city.

The Jade Lion in Zhaoye does not run very fast. According to the information Zhao Tong saw on the copy of the Duhufu, the Kamo Stone Forest is one hundred and eighty miles long, but this does not refer to the radius, but refers to the length of the Longyou Uighur.

The border is more than 180 miles long, and the width from north to south is only about 50 or 60 miles. Otherwise, no one would be able to lay out such a large formation.

It was the sound of horse hooves, not very close to here, but because of the open space and the echo of the stone forest, he could hear it clearly.

However, Zhao Mengde got Mengde's new book. One of the articles in this military book is about formations. It records several ancient formations, but more of them are methods of breaking formations. Obviously, in Cao Mengde's heart, formation formation is not the way of war.

, breaking the formation is considered a skill.

So he rode his horse into the stone forest. Although there was mist in the forest, the path was exactly the same as what was recorded in Meng De's new book.

He looked around in the stone forest, but did not see the Uighur soldiers, so he followed the method of breaking the formation that he remembered in his heart and headed towards the center of the stone forest.

In some places, the ruins can still be identified, but in other places, they are empty, and there should be no buildings in the first place.

This formation was only deployed in the center, but the angle Zhao Tong entered was right at the edge of the formation, and he would reach the commander's tent within ten or twenty miles at most.

At present, only the general shape of this ancient city can be seen, and it is in ruins everywhere. It has obviously been there for a long time.

Then Zhao Tong stepped on the long-collapsed city gate and walked into the ancient city.

He rode over, and he became even more confused as to where this ancient city was. There was actually a large stone forest covering it outside.

At this moment, Zhao Tong was convinced that 80% of this place was a relic from the Han Dynasty, because the formation was not static. Just like everything in the world, weapons, clothing, food and even houses all changed with the changes of dynasties.

Changes occur, especially in poetry and text. Often what is sung by later generations may not be the same as the original version.

This method is not about wandering around randomly. It seems that there is a fixed route and you should proceed according to the fixed route.

Zhao Tao took a look and saw that the outline of the ancient city was square. This was the regulation of Seoul. The cities in the Western Regions and the Uighurs were basically circular, and there was no such square city.

Zhao Tong thought in his mind, compared the formations repeatedly, and naturally came to an understanding. Unknowingly, he walked far away. At this moment, he suddenly heard a sound in front of him and frowned.

However, under the moonlight, the more he looked at the stone forest, the more familiar it became. After taking a closer look, he found that the location of the stone forest looked like an ancient formation from the Han Dynasty.

He didn't quite think that Liyanaza also understood this ancient formation. His horse was fast. In fact, he had seen the Uighur soldiers hesitate here just now. If he really understood the formation, he would not be so hesitant.

, rushed in long ago.

While walking on the road, Zhao Tong saw some traces of bones and the remnants of some weapons. He didn't know if there was a big battle in the city at that time, or if someone entered here later to kill each other.

It is possible to say that it was the Governor's Palace of the Western Regions during the Wei and Jin Dynasties. After all, the scope of the imperial court's influence at that time was much smaller than that of the Han Dynasty, so it would not be built here. Another possibility is that it was the Governor's Palace under the Western Regions Protectorate.

Zhao Tong slowly walked over and found a melon-shaped hammer weapon in front of the dark door. Half of the handle was sunk in the sand on the ground and half was exposed. He took it out and looked at it. The handle of the hammer was about an arm's length.

It was long and short, and it broke off in the middle after shaking a little. It was obviously too rusted to be used.

Obviously, this city is much larger than those military cities, but the same thing is that everything in the city seems to be just as simple.

This hammer was made in the Han Dynasty. Zhao Tong judged in his mind that the ancient city should be a city in the Han Dynasty or before the Han Dynasty.

Zhao Tong walked and watched with the intention of practicing the formation. The further inside he went, the more serious the damage to the formation became. Of course, ordinary people could not walk here at all. At most, they would wander back and forth around the outside.

However, it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to get in and out of these ten or twenty miles. Even if there are many people, it may not be effective unless it is like a large army pushing across the stone forest to directly clear the stone forest, but which army would have nothing to do such a boring thing.

At this point, Zhao Yan is no longer as simple as chasing Liana Zha. He has become very interested in this ancient stone forest formation. Logically speaking, after the end of the Tang Dynasty, this formation has been lost, and it cannot be created by modern people. Then

At least this formation existed during the Tang Dynasty, or before the Tang Dynasty.

Zhao Tong thought about it in his mind. This should be the junction of Longyou and Uighur. It is recorded in the documents of the Duhufu that it is called Kamo Stone Forest. There are many stone forests in the Uighur area, and some are even red stone forests. But besides being easy to get lost,

There is a lack of water, and there are no strange things recorded. If there were any, the records of the Protectorate would definitely not have missed it.

In fact, Zhao Tong is not worried about any traps. After so many years, no matter how powerful the traps are, they may have been destroyed by the sun, rain, wind and rain in this place where the plateau meets the vast sea.

Among the several formations recorded in Meng De's new book, this one is currently the most complex. It can be large or small. It is not used to block the enemy on the battlefield, but to protect the commander's tent, so there are not many

The traps and traps are just easy to mislead people into going in the wrong direction.

He was puzzled, so he couldn't help but follow the sound of the horses' hooves, and after going around in circles, he found that Liyanaza didn't understand how to decipher the formation, but was approaching the center in a more subtle way.

He glanced at the dark door and walked in cautiously. The lighting inside the building was extremely poor, but fortunately the roof above had leaks in many places, and with sunlight shining in, he could barely see anything.

Zhao Tong dared to enter this stone forest because this stone forest formation was one of the only formations in Meng De's new book, and it also had detailed methods for breaking the formation.

No matter which way it is, this is a Seoul city, and it is most likely the place Lianaza is looking for, but what is so strange about this place that it makes the third princess of the Falcon miss her this time?

Zhao Tong rode closer and walked closer. By now it was completely bright. He walked in a large circle around the broken city wall. Suddenly he had a plan in his mind. After dismounting, he patted the Zhaoye Jade Lion, and the horse

He shook his tail and left alone.

The building is divided into five parts: front, middle, back, left, and right. Zhao Tong walked around and returned to the main hall in the middle.

Not much was found around, and even if there were some valuable things, they had long since decayed or been buried in the dust.

The main hall in the middle is the largest, with the sky above it and sunlight shining in. There should have been a table in the innermost position, but now there are only rotten pieces of wood lying on the ground. Zhao Tao touched it a little.

The remaining wood immediately turned into dust and fell.

At this time, a thin mouse came out of the corner, barking "Zhizhi" and looked curiously at Zhao Tong. Zhao Tong looked, but saw a square object with a color that he could not identify in the corner next to the mouse.
