"Can anyone tell me when the damn Han cavalry left the city!"

"Why did they find our cavalry unit accurately!"

"Why are our Kushan warriors repeatedly defeated in their hands!"

Outside the city of Shache, the camp of Kushan.

Dilya's roar could almost be heard outside the camp from the tent.

The angry expression, there is no need to repeat it in words, but Dillia is now not just angry, but more fearful and alarmed.

Repeated defeats, troubles followed.

From the day the troops were dispatched, it was not all smooth sailing for the Kushan army.

I thought that after surviving the torture of the Green Ridge, the next war would be very smooth, but the current fact is that I was taught a hard lesson by the Han people.

The deputy general Balu also had a gloomy face, and after thinking for a long time, he hesitated and said: "General, or we can concentrate the scattered forces, so that we are not afraid of the attack of the Han army." ”

"Gathered? Concentrate on a thousand or two thousand? Gather them all, how can we find the people of the Western Regions scattered in the desert Gobi? ”

It's not that Dilia didn't think of what Balu said, but this kind of thinking is just a thought.

Now it is not so easy to find the traces of the people of the Western Regions by dividing the troops into small teams of hundreds of people, and after joining forces, there will only be less looting goods.

The Han people are really powerful, no more, no less, only secretly sent more than a thousand cavalry.

This number happens to be the size of the enemy army that is the most headache for Dilya.

There are more than 1,000 cavalry, the number is not large, and cavalry of this size often has very fast reflexes and mobility, and it is difficult for him to lay a trap even if he wants to set up an ambush.

There is no ambush, no army.

The cavalry team that went out to plunder was not safe at all.

After thinking of all kinds of methods and finally ending in vain, Dilia shook his head decadently: "There is no need to send troops out to rob again, the Han people will not give us this opportunity." ”

"But what about the order of the vice-king, our own food is not enough."

"What should I do?"

With a somewhat mocking wry smile, Dilia glanced at Paka and Balu, and spit out two words at the corner of his mouth:

"Kill the horse!"

Killing horses?

The general actually said that he wanted to kill the horse?

Paka and Balu could hardly believe their ears, how could the general give such an order.

Didn't the general know that the war horse was the most valuable treasure of the Kushan people, their second life?

"You don't have to look at me like that, and if there's another way, I don't want to do it." Dillia snorted, and then walked out of the tent: "We have also lost many warriors these days, and their horses are empty, let's deal with that batch first." ”

"Tell the soldiers that this is my order, and that if they want to live, they must do it!"

Stay alive!

When the Kushan army is out on the march, there is such a question to consider.

Ten years ago?

Or twenty years ago?

Balu and Paccar don't know the answer, but they can't find a reason to refute Dila at the moment, because they both want to live.

"I'm going to talk to the fighters." Paccar shook his head bitterly, then walked out of the tent.

Soon, there were fierce quarrels in the Kushan camp. But the bickering didn't last long, and it seemed that one side had compromised.

Immediately afterwards, the mournful roar of hundreds of war horses spread throughout the Kushan military camp.

………

Mo Xiaobai, who had been staying in the Shache King City, didn't know that at this moment, the Guishan army had begun to slaughter horses in order to satisfy his stomach.

With Li Guang's good news coming back one by one, Mo Xiaobai was completely relieved about this war in the Western Regions.

So at this moment, Mo Xiaobai has the energy to do something else.

For example...... Voyeur/Voyeurism.

"I said buddy, how do you know that this Greek alchemist actually has a leg with the lady of Shache?"

In the backyard of a Western Regions restaurant less than 100 meters away from the Shache Palace, the heads of Mo Xiaobai, Perch, and Dumb were exposed side by side, and their eyes were all focused on the only hut in the backyard, and their eyes were full of gossip.

Hearing the fat man's question in a lowered voice, Mo Xiaobai raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Mountain people have their own tricks!" ”

"Cut, you're still pretending to be a ghost here, you must have found something when you went to that alchemist's house."

"If you know, you still want to ask me?"

"What do you know, tell me quickly, fat man, I like to listen to this kind of headline gossip the most."

"Since you are sincere in your question, I will tell you with great mercy. I found this out entirely because of that gold coin. ”

The corners of Mo Xiaobai's mouth hooked, and while looking at the movement in the room, he explained: "You may not know that for any alchemist, metal purification and smelting is a very sacred thing. They often think of this process as a way to create eternity, and the results of their smelting are divine objects in their hearts. ”

"Imagine if you were the alchemist, and that gold coin was your greatest achievement right now, how would you commemorate it? Would you engrave something inconsequential on a gold coin? ”

Gold?

Commemorate?

Mo Xiaobai said a few words, but before the perch could react, Dumb had already nodded suddenly: "I remember, there is a portrait of a human head on his gold coin, he and another woman." ”

"That's right!"

Seeing that Dumb had already thought of the gold coin statue, Mo Xiaobai immediately nodded: "His gold coin has the heads of himself and another woman, and I was guessing what the relationship between the two would be." ”

"Mother and son? Brother and sister? Sibling? ”

"No, none of these answers are correct, perhaps the blood relationship will make him and his loved ones unusually deep, but this relationship is not yet comparable to eternity. When I think of the eternity represented by high-purity gold coins, I naturally think of love. ”

Love is eternal!

This was fine with the romantic ancient Greeks.

"But how do you know that the woman he loves is in the city?"

"It's a simpler question, what do you think he would be distracted by the stories he was telling at the time, which were related to his sacred vocation, and that he kept looking out the window while telling those stories?"

Mo Xiaobai touched his chin with his right hand, and said with a bit of 'old fox' cunning: "I'm at least eighty percent sure, that time is the time when he wants to date." Even because he didn't dare to be too loud, he was embarrassed to tell us directly, he was going to see his girlfriend, what else could it be if it wasn't an underground relationship? ”

"After the war broke out, I didn't care about this side, but let people stare at it first, but the news came back yesterday that he would come here every once in a while for a private meeting, and the object was a Shache noblewoman, and the noblewoman's brother was a general with military power in Shache country."

As Mo Xiaobai finished talking about the information he found at that time, the perch couldn't help but sigh twice: "It's really a person who can't be seen, a guy who looks like a god and a head full of alchemy, can actually hook/catch up with a noble lady." I said, "That lady can't be a man, right?" ”

"No, it's a widow."

"Then why didn't he just go and propose? Do you have to be sneaky? ”

"Propose? What to mention? ”

Mo Xiaobai laughed when he heard this, and then said: "Just his net worth?" Or an inconspicuous gold coin? When he went to propose, he would not be swept away by the eldest brother of the noblewoman. ”
