Chapter 287: Ban Chaole Stone (5th Watch)

Luo Manshan Fortress, at this time it really became a fortress, in the hands of Gaochang State before, there were only more than 100 people who held this fortress, in the Western Regions, the national strength of each country is not strong, and as long as Luo Manshan Fortress is to prevent threats from the east, is there a threat from the East? The answer is definitely no, all the countries in the Western Regions are subjugated to the Great Sui, and the actual decorative role of this so-called Luomanshan Fortress is far above the actual role. But now, Li Xin's army of 60,000 has come to the Luomanshan Fortress, which has become a de facto fortress.

"What, are you still worried about Gao Changguo?" Li Xin walked on the city wall with Yuwenrong in his arms, and when he saw Yuwenrong's sad look, he couldn't help but quip: "Don't worry, it should be yours or yours, although the Tiele people have entered Gaochang, they have not committed any offence against the people of Gaochang." ”

"What you said is very light, the savings of Gaochang Kingdom for hundreds of years, I am afraid that they have fallen into the arms of the Tiele people, and when you occupy Gaochang, what will your son use to build Gaochang Kingdom in the future?" Yu Wenrong glared at Li Xin dissatisfied.

"Hehe, those things are only temporarily left with Tiele, let the Tiele people keep it, and soon, whether it is the gold and silver treasures of Gaochang Kingdom, or the savings of the Tiele people, they will also fall into my hands. I will take half of the gold and silver treasures, and I will keep the rest for you. Li Xin said with relief.

"You're such a bad person, you set a fire yourself, and then ran away alone, but the rest of the thing is to lose the others, and now the Tiele and the Turks have been killed, but you are very relaxed here." Yu Wenrong glared at Li Xin, and there was a hint of fire in her eyes. It was the man in front of him who let him know what it meant to be cunning like a fox, a person who easily toyed with two powerful nations on applause, and was still fighting for something unwarranted.

"How can this be called bad? Those who are not of my race will have different hearts. Although Li Xin stayed in Luoman Mountain, his mind was on the distant battlefield, where the Tiele and the Turks were fighting, and now the question in front of Li Xin was when he would attack. in order to maximize their own interests and get the most things.

"That's also a matter of no choice, who makes our strength inferior to others? So we can only do tricks, and we simply don't have a good opponent, so we succeeded. Li Xin said proudly. Once the enemy sees through it, the last unlucky person must be himself, and he has to do it as a last resort, if this situation is placed in the Central Plains. Li Xin definitely didn't dare to do it, but now in the Western Regions, targeting the Turks and Tiele people, Li Xin can rest assured that he will take risks.

"You said the Turks would come to you?" Yu Wenrong suddenly thought of something, and said with some worry: "The Turkic people's Sanmi Mountain is not much away from Gaochang, it is still very easy to come to save Ashinaming, how can Ashinamin come to you for help?" ”

"Because the army of Sanmi Mountain has gone to deal with the brigade of the Tiele people, and I believe that Ashnaming already knows that I have not left the Western Regions. Still stationed in the Loman Mountains. Li Xin said faintly: "He even knows that even if the reinforcements from Sanmi Mountain come, the Tiele people will continue to attack, after the two are exhausted." It was the best time for me to send my troops, and by that time he would have lost even more, because the army he now had in his hands was his own. Once he loses everything, his strength suffers, for the sake of these. He had to come and beg me. It's okay to lose even some benefits. ”

"Then you're going to send troops to rescue him?" Yu Wenrong asked with some curiosity.

"Naturally, I have to save it, if Ashnaming is defeated, Khan Futu City will be garrisoned by another person, and a new force will appear around Gaochang, I don't know what kind of action they will take against Gaochang, and after my army leaves, I can't figure it out that he will occupy Gaochang, so I'd rather be a weak force and slowly licking his wounds in Futu City than a person, understand?" Li Xin explained in a low voice.

"Thank you." Yu Wenrong thought that Li Xin was thinking about her, but the smile on her face became more. Although she was forced to follow Li Xin, as long as a woman has a child, she is more accepting of a man, especially now, Li Xin's actions seem to be thinking about her, how not to move her.

"Grand Governor, Your Highness the Princess." At this time, there was a sound of footsteps in the distance, but he saw Chu Suiliang coming over with a happy face, he saluted Li Xin and Yuwen Rong, his face was normal, as if the qiē he saw was very natural, but Yu Wenrong's face was slightly red, nodded to Chu Suiliang, and led the two palace maids to retreat.

"What? Something? Li Xin said indifferently: "But the Turkic messenger for help came." ”

"This is not available for the time being, but when General Wei Chi was hunting, coughing, and patrolling the mountains, he found a strange place. After his subordinates found out, they specially invited the governor to go. Chu Suiliang explained with a smile. He replaced Wei Chigong's hunting with patrolling the mountains, and there was a hint of embarrassment on his face.

"Let's go! Go and see, it looks like I'm late for game again, this respect! If you don't fight for a day, you're uncomfortable. Li Xin shook his head and said. Although Chu Suiliang concealed something, Li Xin knew Wei Chigong's personality.

"This, General Wei Chi is innocent and romantic, hehe!" Chu Suiliang hurriedly said: "Governor, this time General Wei Chi has made a great contribution and found something amazing, Governor, please come here." ”

"Let's go, go over and have a look." Li Xin was also surprised to see what Yu Chigong had found, which made Chu Suiliang so happy.

Under the leadership of the soldiers, the two went down the city pass, out of the fortress, went up Luoman Mountain, and wasted more than an hour along the rugged mountain road before they arrived at the destination, but found that Wei Chigong's big black face was walking around in front of a stone stele, the stele was very ancient, covered with moss, but the surface had been wiped quickly.

"Look here, Governor." Chu Suiliang was excited, pointed to the lower right corner of the stone tablet and said, "Ban Chao." ”

"This is where Ban Chao originally remembered his merits?" Li Xin looked at the words on the stele carefully, and finally couldn't help but say happily. Le Shi Ji Gong is generally a place where the stone sings praises its own merits, Ban Chao put pen to paper from Rong, sent to the Western Regions, and made great contributions to the Han Dynasty, so it will be Leshi Ji Gong, which is not only Ban Chao's personal merit, but also the glory of the Han Dynasty. Li Xin and others, who are Han Chinese, also feel honored.

"Not bad. Exactly. Most of the governors, please see, they all record the exploits of Ban Chao in the Western Regions. Chu Suiliang pointed to the stone tablet in front of him and said.

"The Han Dynasty has been buried in history, but this stele is still here." Li Xin looked at the stele in front of him, sighed slightly, and said, "If I hadn't come here today, I'm afraid this stele would have been eroded by wind and rain in the future." Let people take it back, put it in Luomanshan Fortress, so that everyone can remember the Ban Chao of the year and the Han Dynasty of the year. ”

"Yes." Chu Suiliang nodded, the Great Han Dynasty left a strong mark in history, and compared with the current Great Sui, it is undoubtedly much worse in prestige.

"Now that the Metropolitan Governor has come to the Western Regions, why don't you also take the stone to remember the merits?" Wei Chigong glanced around to see if there was a suitable stone tablet, and asked Li Xin to write a paragraph on it.

"I can't." Li Xin didn't think about it and said: "I'm just the governor of the Western Regions, and this time I came to the Western Regions, it's just to capture a Gaochang, where is the qualification to make a stone to remember now, next time!" When will the Western Regions be included in the arms of our Great Sui and set up counties here, at that time, we will come to Leshi to remember the merits. "Although Li Xin's skin is very thick, it has not been thick to this extent, and he really does not have this qualification now.

Chu Suiliang nodded on the side, if Li Xin really wanted to take the stone to remember his merits at this time, Chu Suiliang would probably look down on Li Xin. If it is not a great achievement, how to make stones?

"Dadu Governor, there are people outside the gate who claim to be the Turkic Ashina Buzhen and ask to see the Dadu Governor." At this time, a soldier ran up and said loudly.

"Look, here comes the man who asks for help. Jingde, you don't have to hunt in the mountains anymore. Li Xin looked around and said with a smile: "The Turks have finally lowered their noble heads, and we can get some things to go home from our trip to the Western Regions this time." ”

"Congratulations to the Governor, congratulations to the Governor." Chu Suiliang and the others also breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, although this Luo Manshan fortress was extremely strong, and the army's grain and grass were relatively sufficient, but the army went on an expedition, and they went back like this, and everyone's faces were dull, and although they didn't say anything on their mouths, there was still a blow to morale. At this time, the Turks sent people to ask for help, which means that the Turks could not withstand the attack of the Tiele people.

"Let's go, carry the stone monument, and we'll go back." Li Xin was very proud, and let people carry the stone tablet down the mountain.

Luo Man Mountain Fortress, Ash Nabu really had a gloomy face, it was just as Ash Naming imagined, Li Xin's army did not leave the Western Regions, but stayed in the strong fortress of Luo Man Mountain, this is obviously a premeditated action, this guy is waiting for the Turks to call for help. He thought of the encounter outside Gaochang City a few days ago, if it weren't for Li Xin's army taking the lead in attacking the Tiele people, he and Ashinamin would not have launched an attack on the Tiele people, thus causing the Tiele people to frantically attack Khan Futu City. The damn thing is that after this Li Xin hit for a while, he turned around and left, leaving the Turks somewhere, and in the end both sides lost a lot.

"The Han people are really hateful and cunning." A sentence came to Ashinabu's mind. (To be continued......)
