Chapter 7: Command and Conquest

"Emir."

"The general can be called Humble Ai Wu."

The flattering Zahu warrior knelt on the ground and said to Su Lie very sincerely. He smiled, and the heavy scarf on his head was the linen cloth that Su Lie had given him, and the texture was very good, and when the sandstorm came, it was ten thousand times better than the rough blanket.

He was once the young patriarch of a small tribe in Tocharo, the patriarch was his uncle, and after Su Lie's party arrived at their valley pasture, he did not hesitate to cut off his uncle's head and then ask Su Lie to surrender.

Just as his uncle cut off his father's head, his uncle always thought he didn't know who killed his father.

"Are there any Persian officials there?"

The emir looked in the direction of Su Lie's whip, diligently discerning the direction and shape of the mountains, and then looked at the stars in the evening sky, and then said with certainty: "General, we are almost to the farmland and pastures of the Bataan nine. They don't look like us, they're more like Westerners. ”

"Go, ask anyone who is familiar with this place."

"Yes, General."

After the emir left, Zhang Songang stood silently on a huge rock, watching from a distance as the emir ran to the camp of the Zahu coalition army to ask. Although it was far away, Zhang Songang still watched silently.

"How?"

He was asking in Persian. This emir is not simple. ”

Zhang Songang, who was still staring ahead, answered Su Lie's question.

"That is to say, in addition to more than 20 dialects of Chinese, Turkic, and Tocharian, he also knows Persian."

"He's got another ......"

Zhang Songang tried his best to pronounce it, although he didn't understand it at all, but among the people around Su Lie, one person came out and said: "It is a dialect on the west bank of the Xindu River in Western Tianzhu." ”

"Guard, do you know what it means?"

"He's asking if he knows how many soldiers there are in Bataan Nine."

When Zan Junmo answered honestly, he was also shocked in his heart, he didn't expect that there was someone next to Su Lie who knew lip language.

It's just a matter of knowing lip language, and it seems that I also know a few Tibetan languages, which is quite not simple.

According to Zhang Songang's name, Zan Junmo felt for the first time that this person must have something to do with Liangfeng County.

In fact, Zan Junmo guessed very right, Zhang Songang's is indeed a person from the Zhang family of Jiangshui, with the rise of Uncle Zhang, who fell to the scum, after the old Zhang gave Uncle Zhang his life, a large group of idle children at home were released to make a living.

The title of the poor family goes out to mix, and it takes two generations to work hard, not to mention it. But with Uncle Zhang and Zhang De, who continues to exert his strength, then going out is not considered a poor family, and the gambling is a little bigger, and he fights with his life, that is, he has struggled for 20 years.

Purely from the point of view of the rate of return, even Zhang Qingyue, who wants to drink tea and read newspapers to study and anatomy in middle age, is not at a loss at all, and the family wealth saved is enough for his children and grandchildren to squander for decades.

"This emir is very powerful when he sees the wind."

Jumping down from the boulder, Zhang Songang saluted Su Lie, "General, do you want to send him on the road?" ”

Su Lie waved his hand: "It's okay, leave him alive." ”

Su Lie, who looked confident, looked at the mountains in the distance: "There are more than 20,000 miscellaneous beards, all the way south, there will always be people who die and someone who escapes." A villain like the Emir is best suited to do things that we can't do. If someone wants to make trouble in the future, he will sacrifice his head to the flag. ”

"The general is wise."

The corners of Zan Junmo's mouth twitched, and he hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, bowing to Su Dingfang.

What the fuck is this......

Yu Guang peeked at Su Lie, and Zan Junmo felt that it was still more peaceful and faster to live by Li Daochang's side.

Everyone didn't know what news Su Dingfang received, so they chose to go south. But since he was the leader, the people obeyed his commands. As for whether the eldest cousin of Mulu City found other reinforcements or succeeded in saving himself, it was not something they had to consider.

Two days later, although I didn't climb the mountains, I saw a pretty good pasture along the narrow valley corridor. Although these pastures are not comparable to the north and south of Jinshan, they are much better than the mountainous areas west of the Green Mountains. What's more, the children of the Jia clan who accompanied the army confirmed that these lands were suitable for growing wheat.

"Can you grow wheat?"

"General Hui, you can indeed grow wheat." The children of the Jia family grabbed a handful of soil and rubbed it, "You can mix some plant ash and manure, and if you plough deeply, according to the old practice in Hedong, you can have a stone scene." After two or three years, the land was sorted out, and there was no problem in producing two stones. ”

"Then why don't the people here plant?"

Su Lie asked.

"There are many ethnic groups in the west of the Xindu River, and the population of large countries is only 20,000 or 30,000, and small states are 350,000. Settlements are in the dozens, or hundreds, like cow hairs scattered here. And because there is no great family that can lay a foundation, there is a land like Tibet. ”

Hearing Su Lie's question, Zan Junmo, who had been mixing with Bei Tianzhu for many years, immediately answered Su Lie's question.

"Oh? In this way, even the Western Turks are not as good. ”

What Su Lie said was not that the combat effectiveness of this place was compared with that of the Western Turks, but that it had a demographic advantage. Although the population of the Western Turks is small, in fact, in the countries of the Western Regions, the population of the Western Turks is still in an advantageous position. Although it is not as exaggerated as the Central Plains, there is no problem at all that the population number overwhelms several large countries in the Western Regions.

And according to Zan Junmo, this place may not have a large city-state with a population advantage.

"What I saw one after another, as the guards said. It can be called a miscellaneous place, with different shapes. ”

All the way south, I not only saw the black hair and black eyes that looked like Flynn Country, but also saw white skin, red hair and blue eyes, some of which were tribes, and even a set of ancestral fish scale armor.

This is a melting pot of races, and it is also a place where many great forces cannot extend.

"General, in a few days, we will run out of food, do you go out to fight or ......"

"Don't worry, Guard, talk to them."

When Zan Junmo heard this, he hurriedly came out and hugged his fists around and said: "Rest assured, in two days, there will be a few small states in Longyou Guanzhong and all the small states in the southeast. When I got there, I didn't dare to say anything else, there was no shortage of grain. When a merchant ship from the Gundam country arrives at the mouth of the Xindu River and travels north, it will dock in this small state, and there will be two boatloads of grain a month, both of which are large ships built in eight years. ”

When everyone heard this, their spirits were shocked.

"It's like this?!"

"If that's the case, then take some good rest."

"If you enter the mother, Lao Tzu will definitely eat ten catties of beef at that time! No! Twenty pounds! ”

When the GIs heard the news, they were also very excited.

Only Su Lie's face was as usual, and he said indifferently: "Tomorrow, attack the Hatak Division, one of the nine surnames of Bataan." ”

"General, this ......"

Su Lie didn't seem to see the hesitation of his subordinates: "If you don't have a big gift, will others give you beef for nothing?" ”
