Chapter 703: This melon is so sweet

Luo Shizhong was a little stunned when he saw this letter stamped with the Great Seal of the Turpan Khanate, and the first thing he thought of was a conspiracy.

The Turpan Khanate has always been squeezed and even annexed by its close neighbor Yarkand, and it has survived until now, relying on promises, which, of course, are in quotation marks.

Gu Jia also looked incredulous, he was already angry about rashly attacking Hami, but now the Great Khan of Turpan not only did not condemn and investigate, but sincerely came to surrender, who would believe this matter?

However, Xie Xinghua was heartless, seeing that the two of them frowned and were silent, he patted the shoulder of the envoy and praised the Great Khan of Turpan for knowing current affairs, and he didn't care whether people could understand it or not, and he also wrote a reply orally.

Roughly speaking, Daming welcomes the joining of the Tulufan Department, but if you want to join Daming, you must be sincere, not just lip service.

Although Xie Xinghua has a rough temperament, he also knows that at this time, Tihami is just sprinkling salt on people's wounds, and no one mentions it, so he naturally won't have nothing to do.

It's just that the army of the Ming Dynasty has reached the halfway point, and Turpan must go, if the letter is true, then the army of the Ming Dynasty will go around in the name of patrolling, and by the way, take over the city defense of Turpan in the name of increasing defense.

If the letter is fake, then it doesn't matter, can't it just be true?

"The commander once said to us, a weak country has no diplomacy, and if it is backward, it will be beaten, what concerns do the two adults have, now our Ming national strength is flourishing, this place with a big fart in Tulupan has been so humiliated by Yaerqiang, and it is reasonable to belong to my Ming Dynasty."

Xie Xinghua sent the Tulufan envoy away, and then took the wine jug from his waist and drank a few sips, recently he liked the unique camel milk wine in Hami City.

This thing was not the same as the mare's milk wine he used to drink in Chahar, and after drinking it, he felt like he was full of energy, and he wanted to find someone to practice.

"A weak country has no diplomacy, and if it is backward, it will have to be beaten...... Is it really what the prince said? Gu Jia muttered.

Although the meaning of the words was simple and clear, it sounded thought-provoking, and Luo Shizhong on the side also fell into deep thought.

At this time, the grain officer came to report that more than 10,000 camels had finally been collected, and asked for instructions on whether to start pulling them out immediately.

There were only five or six thousand camels available for the march in the whole city of Hami, and in order to raise these camels, it took a lot of effort to manage the grain.

Gu Jia glanced at Luo Shizhong, and then at Xie Xinghua, the former was excited because he had eaten the sweetness of Hami, and the latter was blushing because he drank too much wine, and he dared to attack the city single-handedly by giving him a camel.

As the commander of these 10,000 soldiers, Gu Jia naturally would not ignore morale, after all, he was a senior official of the Ministry of War, and Gu Jia ordered the whole army to go to the Hanhai Desert.

In three days, we crossed the Hanhai Sea and traveled to the foot of the Flame Mountain.

The weather in the middle of May was already extremely hot, not to mention that it was still under this flame mountain, Gu Jia and Luo Shizhong kept wiping the sweat on their foreheads, and Xie Xinghua muttered curses in his mouth.

In mid-May, even in Chahar, it was not yet hot, and he now understood why the Ming Dynasty gave up Tulupan, except for sand and mosquitoes, it was hot and oily, what was good.

It's a shame that he himself still brought Gu and Luo to come to suffer, regret it, regret it! Xie Xinghua unscrewed the wine jug and poured wine into his mouth towards the sun, but the wine was drunk just now.

"TNN's, if anyone gets us a pot of wine now, we're willing to give him all our net worth." Xie Xinghua shouted at the soldiers behind him.

"Master Xie, it is not allowed to carry and drink alcohol without permission in the army, and you don't even have all your net worth!" Luo Shizhong kindly handed over his kettle.

After getting along with Xie Xinghua for a few days, Luo Shizhong also understood that Xie Xinghua's so-called net worth was just a few taels of silver on his body, and he was cheeky enough to grind it from Master Gu.

It's just that at the same time, he also admired Xie Xinghua's courage, and he really did it, as long as the court needed it, he left all his belongings and immediately left the house from Chahar.

"Let's drink, your water is warm, let's not drink!" There is naturally water on the camel that Xie Xinghua is riding, but on such a hot day, the water has already been hot.

"Unraveling ......"

"Report - ten miles ahead, I found an unknown cavalry, the number of which is about three thousand!" While he was talking, the sentinel came running from the west, and saw the three men get off their camels and kneel down.

"Zhang Xuan of the Speedy Divine Machine Battalion is in formation, General Luo, the cavalry battalions guarding on both sides will leave it to you." In a hurry, Gu Jia ordered without hesitation.

After all, it is outside the territory of the Ming Dynasty, or this kind of hot place, although the unknown army is only three thousand, Gu Jia still does not dare to be sloppy.

"Master Gu, what about us? Our broadsword has long been hungry and thirsty! Xie Xinghua was still very excited when he heard that he was going to masturbate, but when he found that there seemed to be nothing wrong with him at all, he immediately became anxious.

"Hehe, Xiao Xie should not be impatient, this army may not be here to fight." It's really at the juncture, but Gu Jia is still calm.

Sure enough, after a quarter of an hour, the sentinel on the west finally came with accurate information, and the troops in front were none other than the Great Khan of Turpan who led the escort army to meet him.

There were more than a dozen sturdy soldiers from the Tulupan army, all dressed in bright armor and with bright scimitars at their waists, and the first to come was a young man in his early twenties with a swarthy face.

The man was unarmoured, dressed in a red and green satin gown, and his upper body had been taken off to his waist due to the hot weather.

"Sin will come to meet the angels at a fast pace!" When the man was still more than ten steps away from Luo Shizhong, he got off the camel and buckled his right hand to his chest and bent down to salute.

"General Ma doesn't have to be polite, since you have decided to belong to my Daming, then we are a family, how far is this place from Tulupan City?" Luo Shizhong got off his mount and bowed in return.

Because Gu Jia and others still had important things to do, they still decided not to show up in front of them, and Luo Shizhong was flattered to act as the commander of the Ming Dynasty as a general.

"Returning to the angel, the name of this place is Huozhou, it is less than a hundred miles away from Tulupan City, oh yes, when the sin will pass through Huozhou, a cart of melons and fruits will be pulled from the local area, and the flame mountain is extremely hot, which can just quench the thirst of all adults."

Ma Su waved his hand after speaking, and a frame car came from behind, and the back of the car was full of large and small melon-like fruits like later generations.

As soon as Xie Xinghua heard that there were melons to eat, he patted the camel and walked to the back of the wooden cart as Luo Shizhong's personal guard, and a Turpan soldier picked up a big one and handed it to Xie Xinghua as if flattering.

Xie Xinghua smashed the melon away with a fist, then broke another piece and bit it hard, and then grinned at Luo Shizhong:

"Lao Luo, this melon is so sweet~!"
