Chapter 82: To the Western Regions

On the border of Shazhou, and in the last city, a large number of slaves outside the city who tied their hands and feet with hemp ropes were driven into the pen like cattle and sheep. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThese slaves included the Black-headed Turks, the Yellow-haired Turks, the Shule people, the Tiele people, the Qigu people, the Tianzhu people, the Persians and even the Qiangtang primitive people.

They did not speak to each other, there were no fatal wounds on their bodies, their hair was cleaned, and they were only draped in a yellow linen cloth with a few holes cut into it to cover their bodies.

"Dun'er!"

Whoops! Woo ......

After the snorting steed stood still, it remained honestly motionless, and there was a steed beside him, and on the horseback was a war armor, in addition to the cavalry battle armor, there was also a black horse armor.

"General Shangguo, please see, these are spies caught near the Green Ridge, they colluded with the Turks, and they want to spy on us and the news of the end city......"

With that, the deep-eyed and high-nosed bearded man took off the round hood on his head, revealing curly brown hair. The dripping eyes rolled, squinting at the people of Khotanese who looked depressed, and the eyes of the Hu people flashed with the pleasure of revenge.

Cheng Chubi, who was tall and naked, held the horse whip, the whip rolled into a circle and held it in his hand, looking at the slaves in the pen as he walked, and then turned his head to look at the Hu people: "Why are these people in a circle?" ”

"General Rong."

The stammering Hu man bowed his head, buckled the round hood in his hand to his chest, bent over and pouted his buttocks, and then explained to Cheng Chubi flatteringly, "There is also a group of slaves from Gloling who should arrive in three days, and there were Shule horse thieves who robbed some before, and the villain walked the Qingling Mountain Road, and the footsteps were farther, but it was more peaceful." ”

"Shule people are so bold!"

The black chest hair on his chest trembled in the sun, Cheng Chubi untied a water bladder from his waist, and after pouring a sigh of grunt, he pointed to those slaves and said, "Defecation needs to be concentrated, dare to defecate anywhere, kill on the spot, chop it up and feed the dog!" ”

Woof! Woof! Wangwangwahws-

As if to celebrate, hearing Cheng Chubi's words, those white mastiffs from Tocharo, not to mention their huge size, wide mouths and broad shoulders, and well-developed pectoral muscles like mules and horses, just listening to their roar made the slaves terrified.

"Yes, yes, what the general says to do, the villain will do it......"

As he was talking, he saw a horse galloping from the east, Cheng Chubi took out the binoculars and looked at it, and muttered: "It's not a war, why are you so eager." ”

"Captain, Shang Shu ordered me to come and inform me that the 'Huang Guanzi' real person has led the crowd to Putao City, and will go to Bolu after resting tomorrow. Shang Shu ordered the captain to prepare supplies for the long journey, waiting for the real person of 'Huang Guanzi'. ”

"I see."

Cheng Chubi sighed with emotion, "Li Chunfeng is so fast, but my brother has already reminded me that this Taoist priest is going to do great things, I must prepare well, and I will also help from the side in the future." ”

In addition to preparing supplies for Li Chunfeng's team, Cheng Chubi sent someone to inform the manager of the China Resources in the end of the city, and thirty flying pigeons went to Dunhuang that night.

After Zhang De, who was far away in Hanyang, received the news, he talked to Xiao Shu about Li Chunfeng's itinerary, and Xiao Erniang asked curiously: "And the end is the old Western Regions state, and I am afraid that it is only thousands of miles away." ”

"Chirito? Oh, seven or eight thousand miles away, lady. ”

"Whew! Far away! ”

"If you can't travel thousands of miles, how can you come to ten thousand households?"

Lao Zhang smiled, turned the crank on the table, and then there was a clicking sound, and after a while, a bowl of smoothie was made.

That's right, Lao Zhang made a manual shaved ice machine for these little girls.

With the addition of honey and dried fruits, the taste is still quite good, with the milk of the postpartum ewes isolated from the ram, the goat's milk without the smell of fish is more than the taste of milk.

"Shizun still wants to be a marquis?"

"If he dies, he will definitely be able to seal the marquis, and he will go, relying on the military strength of the Tang Dynasty, which is even better than the legend of Lao Tzu and Hu."

Cui Jue also took a bite, her eyes lit up, obviously very much in line with her thoughts.

Chatting at this moment, she is also quite wise, so she said: "Destroy its country, eliminate its worship, and do not surrender and rebel." ”

"What Mingyue said is reasonable, but just like this, it is just the work of the two Han Dynasty. Turning the Western Regions into China, rather than the domain of Yidi Hulu, and making the people of China willing to defend this place, is a success. ”

The strong Han controlled the Western Regions for three hundred years, but for the scholars and doctors in the Central Plains, it was a pity that the place was lost, and Lao Tzu didn't go there to dig food anyway; For the majority of Qianshou, that place is seven or eight thousand miles away from his hometown, and it is about Lao Tzu's birds; For the Son of Heaven, the Huns are dead, what is the strategic value of this dilapidated place?

Operating in the Western Regions has always been a loss-making business, and of course, this loss refers to the imperial court and the country.

For those businessmen walking on the Silk Road, the peaceful Western Regions is too cool, and it is a great benefit.

Primitive nationalism, even if it reaches its peak in the "Huayi Distinction", it is impossible to develop again, and the resources of society cannot pile up so many people who are out of production to receive education and then produce further nationalism.

Li Chunfeng is throwing stones to ask for directions, but unlike Ban Chao and Zhang Qian, Tang Jun already has the confidence that he doesn't need to fight for his life. The efficiency of social resource mobilization, from the moment when the flying arrows can be built as much as they want, there is no rival under the sky.

"This career is really famous for the ages."

In Cui Jue's mind, he suddenly imagined a Taoist who was not afraid of thousands of miles of yellow sand, chasing the stars and the moon and fighting with swords to eliminate demons, sweeping away all the demons and monsters in the Western Regions, so he called the ancestor of the Dao, and became a generation of land immortals.

Just thinking about it, she found it interesting, more moving than that legend.

She was pondering the story there, but Zhang De suddenly asked: "By the way, a journal will be set up in the next few days, and King Wu and Li Chuzi will participate." I am not optimistic about this journal, and sooner or later it will become a pretentious boudoir waste paper. But right now, I am about to take some novelties, Mingyue, you are good at poetry, calligraphy, chess and painting, but you can be a female editor. ”

"I don't want to show up and make a public appearance."

glared at Zhang De, and the old Zhang who was amorous in an instant was itchy, so he got up and hugged her, and said softly, "You stupid woman, why don't you want a nickname?" Look at me, known as 'Sai Wei Chi', 'Xiao Zhang Fei', 'Timely Rain', 'Hu Baoyi', 'Jade Qilin'...... Why can't you take a 'female Zhuge 'and 'female Xie Xuan'? ”

"Phew! You're the 'female Xie Xuan'! ”

However, Lao Zhang's suggestion made her moved, with Zhang De here, who can know her true colors? But he is not afraid that outsiders will know his heels.

"If it's poetry or the like, the total is to compete for the length of the matter, so that I can have a thought, and my brother will work with me?"

"Whatever is said, but there is a sent, do not dare to disobey. You and I are 'friends of Bao', regardless of each other. ”

Xiao Shu on the side was confused: "Why is Sister Cui and Zhang Lang 'friends of Guan Bao'?" ”

Lao Zhang smiled and whispered in her ear for a while, only to make Xiao Erniang's face red and almost dripping, and only after a while did she peek at Zhang De: "Phew." ”
