Chapter 2329
General Guo reluctantly got up and sent Bai Shan to them.
He looked at the army that had left for a long time, then looked back at general Meng and Bai Shan, and said solemnly, "take care."
Bai Erlang also said happily, "take care, too."
Bai Shan nodded quietly, "we're not here. The military doctor may not be able to help you with blood transfusion."
General Guo: "... It's time for you to leave."
General Meng just reached out and patted him on the shoulder, then got on his horse and looked at Bai Shan.
Man Bao also rode on the horse and tightened his cloak. The weather became colder and colder on the horse.
Although the weather turned cold, general ashner did not intend to stay in Kucha for a few more days. On the third day after the city conference, he reorganized his troops and horses, went directly along the place where the Turks retreated, and captured more than 20 small cities along the way.
It's really small, the size of a town, but it's vast and sparsely populated. Such a place is also a city.
This time he didn't want to subdue the people, so he was much faster. He almost took the city, gathered the food and grass, and left. He only stayed at the important pass, and the rest followed the army.
The West Turks were shocked. Shule state, which consciously escaped the disaster, was also shocked. It immediately reinforced the border towns. As a result, general ASHNA was still powerful and even went down to 12 cities.
There was a rebellion in Shule. He directly changed a king inside, and then made a statement to general ASHNA, pleaded guilty, and sent gold, silver, grain, grass and beautiful women.
General ASHNA gave the beautiful women to his men, kept the grain and grass for his own use, registered the gold and silver and sent them back to the Treasury, and then took people to Khotan.
From Shule to Khotan, you can walk along the tudo River, which is much closer than Kucha to Khotan. The distance from the middle desert is only two days.
When the king of Khotan heard that the army was coming to Khotan, he was so anxious that he burst into tears. He knew he wouldn't listen to the rumors. He became angry with Kucha and West Turks. Grandma, who said that the God punished the emperor of the Central Plains and let him catch smallpox?
Does it look like smallpox?
The king of Khotan did not dare to neglect, and even ignored the dispute with Tubo. He immediately prepared a batch of grain, grass, gold, silver and jewelry and sent them to the account of the ASHNA army.
After watching today's sick soldiers in the medical account, man Bao checked some wounded soldiers, washed his hands with warm water and tightly covered his cloak before going out to watch the excitement.
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang stood there watching the excitement. Man Bao came up and looked at it for a while and asked, "will general ASHNA go to Khotan?"
Bai Shan said, "I'm sure to go!"
Bai Erlang: "I have collected money, food and grass from others."
"So what?" Bai Shan said: "always meet the king of Khotan personally. He should have thought of this when he was making waves with others."
He said, "because of them, the trade routes in the western regions have been cut off for a year."
Originally, when the smallpox epidemic in xiazhou ended, the trade route should be restored slowly. It was because they kept spreading bad comments about Dajin and connived at their soldiers to rob passing merchants, which caused the trade route to be cut off.
He even spoke unkindly to Da Jin and his majesty, which greatly damaged the image of Da Jin and his majesty.
General ASHNA did decide to go to Khotan, so he took the things he sent, but after receiving them, he still left camp to Khotan.
After hearing this, the king of Khotan lost sleep all night. Finally, he got up and drafted a confession. Then, with a mournful face, he took people to the border and met general ASHNA's army at the border.
General ashner took a look at the grain, grass, gold and silver he sent again. After a cold hum, he looked at the confession sent to him.
After thinking for a while, he looked at the clouds in the air. They were dark and could not see the sun.
My confidant saw it and said, "general, it seems that it's going to snow."
General ashner pressed the confession and asked, "how are the soldiers' winter clothes?"
After a pause, his confidant said, "there are still some thin soldiers in the army. Some soldiers from the south are uncomfortable. Recently, more soldiers have been reported sick in the medical account.
General ASHNA knocked on the confession under his palm. Finally, he snorted and said, "please come in and meet the king of Khotan."
His confidant bowed away.
So far, after Yanqi was incorporated into Anxi, lost the royal family, Kucha and Shule changed into a king, and the West Turks lost two soldiers and the land of twelve cities, the king of Khotan temporarily retained the throne and cities with the confession and grain, grass, gold and silver sent out.
He again became a minister to Da Jin. He found many treasures from the Treasury of the palace and gave them to general ASHNA. He asked him to take them back to the capital and pay tribute to the emperor.
Of course, he also sent a team of envoys to go back with general ashner. He sincerely asked the envoys to go to the capital to invite another crime.
General ashner was very satisfied with his knowledge and interest, so he took things and left with people.
Man Bao, they have seen a lot along the way. If the king of Khotan hadn't reacted too much, they might be able to take a look at the king's city of Khotan.
With regret, they followed general ASHNA back and said, "it is said that Tubo and Da Bolu go down to Khotan. After Da Bolu, it is Tianzhu. Master Zhiren wants to go to Tianzhu most."
Bai Shan regretted again, "it's a pity that master Zhiren didn't follow the army. Otherwise, he would go with them and meet the king of Khotan. Maybe he could ask the king of Khotan to help pass through the big Bolu to Tianzhu."
Bai Erlang: "I heard that big Bolu was fighting with little Bolu?"
"They beat them without affecting the great burula to win over the king of Khotan."
Man Bao looked up at the front, a little excited, "are we going to go to the desert?"
Bai Shan nodded, "we take the Chiyu River, directly cross the desert and return to Kucha. The speed is half faster than the detour Shule."
From here to Kucha, it is basically a desert, but there is an intermittent River in the desert, called Chiyu river. With this river, there are oases all the way. They have got the food and grass sent by Shule and Khotan, so they basically don't have to worry about eating and drinking.
The march of the army is different from that of Bai Shan's team. 20000 people go in and out together. Basically, as long as they don't encounter a storm and get lost, they have nothing to fear in the desert. Even the animals escape early.
Man Bao feels that when he sleeps in the open at night, he feels the peace between heaven and earth. It seems that they are the only people under the whole sky.
When general ashner heard their feelings, he said, "it's cold. Scorpions and mice are hidden. When it's hot, let alone 20000 troops, even 100000 troops, they will rustle."
So there is no need to have this feeling.
Manbao several people:
General ashner didn't find out. He directly asked them, "I want to return to the dynasty as soon as possible. When I return to Xizhou, will you go back to Beijing with me?"
Bai Shan asked, "what about the western state? If the army leaves, what will the Kucha countries do again and again? "
