Dugu Yanjing's heart was broken, he couldn't imagine that he couldn't even grasp the last chance, and the tears of despair could not be contained from his eyes, and the anger and humiliation turned into a howl and cry.

This sudden change made everyone present stunned, Dugu Yanjing's arrogance and toughness are well known, but now he is actually suffering in public, which shows how far his heart has collapsed, and he doesn't even want this last bit of fig leaf.

Finally, Dugu Yanjing's wailing and crying still made Wei Wei notice, and he stopped the soldier's dragging behavior and came to Dugu Yanjing.

"Yesterday was my negligence, with your injuries, it will be difficult to survive to the Western Regions, if there is an accident on the way, it will definitely not be the result I want to see!"

After seeing Wei Qi, a raging flame of hope rose in Dugu Yanjing's chest, he knew that his opportunity was fleeting, and he must not have the slightest weakness at this time.

"What if my husband can't be shrouded in horse leather and dies on the road?

He said it resolutely, and the tears in his eyes still couldn't stop pouring out. Wei Wei sighed, the real question is not only whether Dugu Yanjing has the determination to see death as home.

"It's a long way to go, and it's hard to take care of yourself with your injuries, even if you're not afraid of death, who will take care of you?

This has been said very bluntly, that is, if Dugu Yanjing wants to go to the Western Regions, he will inevitably have to increase the cost, and the imperial court will not bear this expense.

"I'm willing to pay, I'm willing to pay!"

Dugu Yanjing said almost subconsciously, and his words were already full of pleading. However, he ignored one point, his family property has been confiscated, and he is no different from a tired son who has no property and no job, he is a complete poor egg.

Wei Wei was embarrassed to expose Dugu Yanjing in public, but just shook his head and did not continue to speak.

Dugu Yanjing was in despair and grief, and at this time, it was the elder of the Dugu family who stood up.

"Wei Shilang, the villain is willing to take care of Twelve Lang on the road, and he doesn't need the court to spare a penny!"

This elder is around forty years old, naturally qualified to be confiscated to the Western Regions, he has successfully registered in the register before, and he really can't bear to see his juniors so wronged, so he relented and made a request.

Wei Wei looked at Dugu Yanjing again and asked:

"You've thought about it, won't you regret it?"

Dugu Yanjing seemed to grasp the last straw, and said in a loud voice:

"I don't regret it, I will never regret it, and I will regret it for the rest of my life if I stay!"

At this moment, the conquest of the army to Anxi is the only and all in his life.

Looking at Dugu Yanjing's longing eyes, Wei Wei still couldn't bear it after all, so he said:

"Okay, out of the friendship between you and me, Wei will fund you with 100 gold as Sichuan capital, I hope you will kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions after you arrive in the Western Regions, don't let the court down!"

As soon as these words came out, Dugu Yanjing looked at Wei Wei in disbelief, and it took a long time to react from the shock.

"Brother Wei's kindness, I dare not say thank you, if there is a horse leather shroud in the future, I will also have the face to return to Chang'an!"

He knew that Wei Wei could ignore it at this time, and he was already a rare good person like some people, but he not only asked Wen, but even contributed 100 gold to support himself, and this kindness was not only included in the snow.

Because the conflict caused by Dugu Yanjing was just a small episode, the registration work was extremely cumbersome, and it took seven consecutive days to barely complete the registration. Dugu Yanjing's wounds were still a little infected, and several injuries on his back kept coming out with thick water, and as the weather gradually warmed, the thick water soon became stinky.

Perhaps it had something to do with the conflict that day, because of the violent struggle and dragging, the wound was broken, so it went back and forth for a few days, and it was difficult to heal anyway.

"Twelve Lang, if you have this wound, it is inconvenient to discuss, so you won't go to Anxi first, and you will ...... when you heal."

"Uncle Hugh wants to mention it again, if he misses it, he may not have a chance, and even if his nephew dies, he will die on the way to the Western Regions. ”

The elder of the Dugu family is Dugu Yanjing's cousin, named Dugu Lian, who used to be a waiter in the household department, and later thought that he had offended the powerful minister Yang Guozhong and was idle at home, and he has not been out of office since then. In fact, he also saw through the situation, under the internal and external troubles, the bigger the official does, the more dangerous it will be, and maybe there will be a disaster of killing his head one day. What he expected was roughly the same, from the fourteenth year of Tianbao to the present, few people who have been prime ministers have died well, and even Yang Guozhong, who was in power back then, also had the same tragic end.

It's just that the current situation has pushed Dugu Lian out, if he doesn't take the initiative to be confiscated into Anxi, maybe he will be a slave and a servant. Most of the people from the family have arrogance, and the most unbearable thing is this kind of humiliation that is worse than death, so they would rather die on the battlefield, or die on the way to the battlefield, and live far beyond the nest.

Dugu Lian felt the same way, so he took the errand of taking care of Dugu Yanjing, but Dugu Yanjing's wounds not only did not improve, but even showed signs of deterioration, and he was a little worried about his life and death.

However, at Dugu Yanjing's strong request, Dugu Lian was still silent, he knew that maybe dying on the road would be the best result for this nephew.

In order to avoid talking about this sad topic again, Dugu Lian took the initiative to change the topic.

"Now that the urgency of the imperial court is in Hebei, how can we rush to run the Western Regions? Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?"

This question has always plagued Dugu Lian, he couldn't figure out the true purpose of that Qin Jin, and even thought that running the Western Regions was just an excuse, in order to kill these difficult noble relatives and children in the vast Gobi.

Dugu Yanjing calmed down for a while, the pain in his back had gradually numbed him, and his cousin's thoughts were also what he had been worried about, but after thinking about it for a few days, he also came to a conclusion.

"Qin and Jin arranged this way, perhaps because they didn't take Shi Siming into account at all, since the death of An Lushan, the rebels have lost the entire Duji Province of Henan one after another, and they have been at the end of the road step by step! And if the imperial court wants to restore the prosperous situation, it must re-establish its hegemony in Anxi, so that it can control the Hui and Tubo that are separated from the north and south with their arms!"

At the beginning of raising this question, Dugu Lian deliberately changed the topic to avoid the atmosphere becoming more and more bleak and embarrassing. But what I didn't expect was that Dugu Yanjing actually said a set of statements that were completely different from ordinary people.

"How is this possible? Running the Western Regions often consumes more than half of the annual income, and if it goes on like this, how can it bear it?"

It is precisely because Dugu Lian once worked as a waiter in the household department that he knows very well the income at the peak of the Tianbao period, as well as the consumption of major border towns, and the consumption of Anxi even exceeds that of Hebei. However, even so, Li Longji never thought of giving up on Anxi, and even shrank his strength in Anxi. Just a few years before the An Lushan Rebellion, Gao Xianzhi, the envoy of Anxi Jiedu, even took the initiative to attack on the orders of the Holy Order, in order to stabilize the influence of the Tang Dynasty in Turgish. However, this battle was lost, and the defeat was extremely tragic, and only more than 100 horsemen escaped under the overall annihilation.

Since then, the Tang Dynasty's power has never been able to cross the Green Ridge, and the west of the Green Ridge has completely become a place that is not controlled by the Celestial Empire.

If it weren't for An Lushan's sudden rebellion, maybe Gao Xianzhi's successor, Feng Changqing, would have reversed this situation, but there is no assumption in this world, so the chances of reversing this situation have become extremely slim.

"I heard that the big cannibals gradually replaced the influence of my Tang Dynasty in the middle of the river, and the nine countries surnamed Zhaowu only knew that there was a big food but did not know that there was a Tang Dynasty. Moreover, it is said that Da Shi is also a big country with a base of thousands of miles, once my Tang Dynasty returns to the land in the river west of the Green Ridge, a protracted war will be inevitable, which is why my nephew is thinking about going to the Western Regions!"

"Confused, how can the imperial court withstand a protracted war? In the heyday of the Tianbao year, half of the imperial court's revenue was spent in Anxi, and now the imperial court has experienced several years of war, and the treasury is stretched thin, and it is still difficult to maintain it, so how can it support a long-term war?"

Of course, Dugu Yanjing also thought about this problem, and Uncle Tang's analysis was extremely pragmatic and reasonable. The most important thing to do after the war is to recuperate, but Qin Jin did the opposite, and he may lose even more miserably if he is bent on recklessness.

"Although my nephew hates that Qin Jin, he always feels that this person is not a thing in the pool, what we can think of, how can he not think of it?

Hearing this, Dugu Lian shook his head.

"These things are not what prisoners like you and me should think, Qin Jin wants to become an immortal or plans to go to hell, what does it have to do with you and me?"

The two were relatively speechless, and after a long time, Dugu Lian slowly left the house where Dugu Yanjing was recuperating.

On the eighth day of registration, the registered prisoners finally began to be sent to Anxi one after another, and they took the road through Longyou through the Qilian Mountains, and then from Zhangye to Dunhuang County. It's a little farther away, but it's better to be safe, and you'll be well supplied along the way.

In the impression of the people of the time, it seems that when you arrive in Hexi, the Gobi Desert is full of yellow sand, but the actual situation is completely different, the reason why Hexi can become a place where the Han people and the Hu people compete for thousands of years is because of the abundance of water and grass, and even the largest production area of military horses in the Tang Dynasty is in a place called Shandan.

Only out of Dunhuang will face the vast Gobi and desert, at this time the Western Regions and hundreds of years ago in the Han Dynasty has been very different, the Shule River dried up to the bottom, a large area of oases turned into sand, the Yumen Pass was also forced to move eastward for hundreds of miles......
