"Secret Service, what do you want to do?"

The big fat warrior with pigtails stopped the young Turks.

Although ......he was a young man, the Turkic was old, and his curly, thick beard made him look a decade or two older than his actual age.

After hesitating for a moment, the young man said to the Turkic warriors, "The Ashina clan has a good life in the Tang Dynasty, we ...... Why should we take the risk? ”

"Because the Ashina clan in the Tang Dynasty will not let you live as well as them in the Tang Dynasty!"

Grabbing the young man's neckline, the fat warrior roared, "Ashnasimo just wants to take us to ...... Ask for merit from the sage Khan. ”

He originally wanted to say something derogatory, but even if he was thousands of miles away from the Central Plains Emperor, he didn't have the courage to take advantage of it.

Bilus...... Just go and meet him. The young Turkic leader took a deep breath, "I'm Ashina with a thin cloth, so I won't really compare with the Persian mourning dogs." ”

"Go ahead, secret service."

patted Ashina Thin Cloth on the shoulder, the fat warrior's eyes softened a lot, and he watched Ashina Thin Cloth leave the big tent. After a while, he beckoned, and a bald-headed samurai came over and said respectfully, "What are your orders?" ”

"Tell the king of the county, the number of cattle and sheep, I want to sell 100,000 more!"

"Okay, my subordinates will tell the king of the county about this request."

After saying that, the bald warrior left the camp and whistled, and immediately more than fifty riders appeared, followed by hundreds of good horses.

"Let's go! Let's go to Shule. ”

"Yes!"

Shule was now a mixed bag, and during the recovery period after the war, a huge slave market sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. A large number of white slaves were sold to Shule by the Sogdians and Tianzhu, but both the Sogdians and the Tianzhu were second-hand dealers, and perhaps even three-handed.

However, the huge slave market in Shule did not refuse this kind of behavior, as long as the price was right, everything could be negotiated.

"It turns out that this Persian king, in the twelfth year of Zhenguan, sent an envoy to Chang'an?"

In Shule City, An Bo was very surprised, he didn't know that there was civil strife in such a big country as Persia, and he lost several battles. As early as a few years ago, the Persians lost their capital city of Ctesiphon.

"I heard that this is a royal city that can compete with the old Great Qin Kingdom."

Cheng Chubi, who was sitting reclining on the side, rubbed his chin and rolled his eyes, obviously thinking of something.

"That's just it, Wiesel is in the capital...... Chang'an said that Persia was known as rich, but it was only a few big cities. Most of the acres of land are medium fields, and if there are two stones, it is a bumper yield, and it is really not rich. ”

An Bo said, but said, "However, the prolific gold, silver, copper and iron are enviable." ”

"Li Simo, the mad dog, let the camel team trade, what do you think?"

"It's better to stab this matter to Qiao Shiwang."

"It's all the emperor's people, so they won't fight for merit, right?"

"At present, the Persians are turning to the Turks for help, and they cannot let the Turks save their money. Since he is the governor of the Nan Governor's Mansion, Qiao Shiwang should make a decision. If it is up to Li Simo...... At that time, the emperor blamed him, and he was afraid that Qiao Shiwang would not be able to bear it. ”

Not only can they not afford it, as long as the Persian royal family succeeds in inviting rescue troops from the Turks, and the Turks have the territory of the Persians, it is not necessary to recover their vitality, but it is predictable that they will grow stronger.

And as the governor of the Governor of the Southern Prefecture, he doesn't care about anything, he doesn't even know to report such important information, and he doesn't even deal with such things in advance, so what's the use of him?

"No matter what the old thing is, we are in Shule, we have to prepare for war first!"

Cheng Chubi said, and said to An Bodao, "Write to my brother, the craftsmen here are as few as five hundred or more than one thousand, and they are always wanted." You and I can't think of a way, so I can only ask my brother for help. ”

"New craftsmen in China, don't be forced to stay, my brother said in a letter, it doesn't mean much to stay." An Bo said, and looked at Cheng Chubi again, "I heard that the person who escorted the exile of the Boling Cui clan is the old man of Zuo Xiaowei, and when he is in Dunhuang, someone will help to come over with two or three thousand." ”

"What do you want these rice worms to do?"

Cheng Chubi said angrily.

"It's not an ordinary thing, there is something strange here, my brother entrusted a few people to turn around, and covered up his identity. We'll see when the time comes, and we don't have to be anxious. ”

Saying this, Cheng Chubi nodded: "If you don't have my brother's support, and you don't let the soldiers loot, I'm afraid that you will mutiny." At present, it can become a strong army, in the final analysis, it is still the last army and the southern army can find 'food and salary', and it is not like Xizhou Yizhou to deduct grain and grass. ”

And the combat power of the end army and the southern army is purely a brief throwing money. If you just rely on the money and food in Dunhuang, you can't even touch Zhu Jubo.

As for the soldiers' ability to endure Cheng Chubi's many "habits", it is also a trade-off after seeing the days of the Dunhuang Western Army, and after comparison.

In ancient times, the soldiers were "resentful", and then mutiny and dominated the commander, which was not a matter at all.

"I heard that the Luoyang Son of Heaven was pro-army, and he was paid directly. Moreover, if you are not a soldier of Guanluo Prefecture, you are not allowed to defend Gyeonggi. The border army wants to rotate the twelve guards, which is not as good as before. ”

"After all, our emperor is rich."

Cheng Chubi was full of emotion, in the entire Tang Dynasty, one is counted as one, and those who can have a good future as a soldier can be mixed, except for the Western Army and the Northern Army, and now they are being called into the Northern Ya Forbidden Army.

The real salary, the government soldiers in Henan except for, can only stare dryly. took Yongye Tian as a soldier for three or five years, and settled the account.

Ordinary people go to the local military office, probably reluctantly, but if they go to Luoyang Yulin Army, it is simply an open look, and they want to be a soldier desperately.

The world is like this, with the benefits and sweetness, no matter how sour you are "veteran", you are also busy looking for things to do.

"My brother said, and whether it is the end army or the southern army, it is just a comparison with the Turks, Tiele and other wastes, and it is among the strong armies, but it has only touched a little fur."

Cheng Chubi, who is known for his bravery and good fighting, did not doubt this sentence, but pondered, "After thinking about it, I don't understand what it is, which is the strong army in my brother's mouth. ”

"When this is over, when I go back to the customs, I will go to my brother to solve my doubts."

An Bo didn't have much thought, and now that he can get mixed up to this point, he is already quite satisfied. As for the marquis and the like, he didn't even think about it.

With the contact between Persia and the Turks, the pressure on the armies of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty decreased sharply, and after Luoyang reacted, it began to restore production in the Western Regions. It's just that unlike the previous laissez-faire inaction, the team that poured into the Western Regions from Yangguan in the sixteenth year of Zhenguan was unprecedentedly huge.
