Pang Tong turned his face and looked at Xu Rong,

made a grimace at the old general,

Xu Rong was extremely angry when he saw this,

Just as I was about to open my mouth to reprimand two sentences,

But when I saw Pang Tong's whole body,

The clothes are torn out of the ground,

and the broken position,

on bare skin,

And some scabbed wounds,

It should have been an injury that I had just gone out to inspect the terrain.

This kid is not only a man of letters,

And the age is much younger than Xu Cheng,

Thinking of this, Xu Rong's gaze turned to the side,

After thinking about it, he swallowed the words that came to his lips.

Li Ru has been looking at Xu Rong's expression seriously,

Seeing the other person turn their head to the side,

There was a trace of distress in his eyes,

He couldn't help but laugh,

This Xu Rong is good at everything,

It's just that sometimes I like to be stuffy,

Especially when you obviously care about each other,

I can't say it,

But Li Ru also knows that

What are the words that Xu Rong wanted to say just now,

He smiled and said:

"Lord Right Sacrifice Wine, General Xu actually wants to say, your old man has been out for so long a day, is it difficult to come up with a plan that such a small child can think of?"

Xu Rong heard Li Ru say what was in his heart,

And there is no focus on tone and voice,

couldn't help but glared at the old fox fiercely,

Snorted softly,

But there was no objection,

Obviously, this is also what he is saying.

"Hey, hey, hey......"

Pang Tong also laughed,

This smile is full of treacherous meaning,

In Xu Rong's eyes,

There is actually a few forms of Li Ru's gods,

I was in a trance.

Pang Tong cocked Erlang's legs,

Said very pleasantly:

"Fiction is real, reality is fiction!"

After Pang Tong said this sentence that military strategists are very familiar with,

The smile on Li Ru's face was even stronger,

Xu Rong's expression also softened,

Pang Tong was able to say such words,

At least it proves that he really came up with a plan,

As for whether it is easy to use or not,

Naturally, a few of them need to discuss it together.

Pang Tong hurriedly sat up,

The three of them sat together,

Pang Tong picked up a small stick on the ground,

Using the ground in front of you as a canvas,

While quickly drawing the scene,

While telling the two of them about his plan,

Li Ru smiled when he heard this,

From time to time, I also add some of my own thoughts,

The two of them spoke passionately,

Xu Rong listened carefully to the discussion between the two of them,

The look on his face gradually became excited,

In this discussion,

It lasts until sunset in the western mountains,

The discussion of the three talents is finally over,

At this time, the king of the country of Pishan,

also ended the day's affairs,

Come into the courtyard and eat with them,

The dinner took place in this spacious courtyard,

The food is the most characteristic barbecue meat in the Western Regions and their unique beef in Pishan.

With the fragrant milk wine,

Everyone ate very happily,

The night was blowing with a strong wind,

This is also one of the characteristics of the Western Regions.

But fortunately, in the capital of this Pishan country,

It was built in a valley,

Therefore, the strong wind did not spoil the atmosphere of the banquet,

Instead will be the whole party,

pushed to a more lively climax,

Many people of Pishan country,

And the soldiers of the Western Regions Expeditionary Force,

have all joined in,

Everyone gathered around a huge bonfire,

With a cheerful song in his mouth,

Stepping to the beat of music together,

Singing and dancing are like a celebration.

In the Western Regions or in the grasslands,

This is an event that they often hold.

Most of the nomads live in a fixed place,

to be able to gather a large crowd of people,

It's not easy,

Therefore, every time we get together, there is always a lot of laughter,

Over time, this also formed a custom,

Many times there is no reason at all,

As long as the nature comes up,

Everyone can have a good time around the bonfire.

The strong wind brings the laughter and laughter here to the sky,

Spread throughout the country of Pishan,

Passed through a ray of sky,

Sent to a wider world,

They were also sent to a military camp that stretched for miles.

"General! There are two more days to reach the country of Pishan, which is named after the country of Pishan, although the territory is not small, but the population is sparse and very barren. The reason why it has not been annexed by other countries is because the environment here is too harsh, the most famous is that there is a long canyon known as the first line of heaven in their territory, this canyon is more than ten miles long, and the width can only be passed by four or five horses at the same time. Well, at this location, this canyon is also the closest road to the east, and another road needs to be detoured more than 100 miles. ”

In the midst of the great tent,

A weak man with a wooden pole in his hand,

Standing in front of a huge topographical map of the Western Regions, he pointed and pointed.

In addition to him,

In the midst of the spacious tent,

And a man with a full beard,

The long pale blonde hair is scattered slightly,

With a forehead band made of pure gold on his forehead,

In a pair of blue eyes,

exudes a bitter cold,

The hooked nose stands tall,

Accentuate his thin lips.

The whole person is not angry and self-threatening,

Like the king of beasts on the grassland,

Although just sitting there quietly,

But the smell of danger exudes from all over the body,

Every time the weak man looked at him,

There is always a trace of uncontrollable fear in the bottom of the eyes.

"A glimmer of heaven?"

The bearded man's eyes narrowed slightly,

After hearing the introduction of the weak man,

He developed a keen interest in this place.

The bearded man's name was Mamel,

In the language of the Kushan Empire,

The original meaning of the name is "ruler" "leader",

Generally only aristocratic families,

to dare to give a child such a name.

He served as the chief general of the Kushan Empire's expedition to the Western Regions.

The weak man who briefed him on the situation,

His name is Mingbayi,

If in a family,

After the death of several children one after another,

The next child will be named like this.

It is also a blessing for the child to live a long life.

But this Mingbayi,

but he is called 'the son of doom',

Because after he was born,

His parents also died.

A family of relatives who adopted him,

He also died shortly after, in an ambiguous 43

The people of the village regarded him as a scourge,

Cruelly abandoned him, who was only two years old at the time,

It was an old homeless man who adopted him,

Later became a wise man,

has helped many people to give advice,

Serve as the military advisor of this expedition to the Western Regions.

After Mingbayi heard Mamel's questioning,

First he bowed respectfully,

And then I took out another much smaller map from the side.

Spread out on the wooden table in front of Mamel,

"General, please see, this is the detailed map of the 'Glimmer of Heaven'......"

Mamel saw the back of Minbayi's scarred hand,

The brow furrowed unconsciously,

He's a man who pays more attention to appearance and is vain.

From those fine accessories he wears,

And tidy up your clothes from time to time,

You can see the clues.

He looked down on people like Mingbayi in his heart,

The guy who climbed to the top with his own ability,

Even if you have to rely on their abilities a lot of the time,

It's just using them as a tool to be used.

Mamel picked up a white handkerchief,

In disgust, he flicked away Mingbayi's hand,

Then I took a closer look at the map.

Mingbayi realized that he had committed the other party's taboo,

hurriedly took two steps back and dodged to the side,

But in the bottom of my heart,

But there was a flash of anger.

Mamel didn't care what Mingbayi thought at all,

He looked at the map,

It's pretty finely marked,

In this day and age,

Already a rare detailed map.

After seeing the topography of this line of sky,

Mamel's brow furrowed tightly,

"Is it such tricky terrain?"

"Yes, General. This line of heaven is a difficult problem for our army now, if you want to pass here, you need to take great risks, if you want to detour, you will have to delay a lot of time, and another way, if you want to reach the Han Dynasty, it will be much more difficult. ”

Mingbayi bent down respectfully.

Explained in detail for Mamel,

This time they came in a great army,

The main task is to recover the entire Western Regions for their use.

At the same time, there is a very important task,

That is to explore the reality of this Han Dynasty.

In this day and age,

The whole of Eurasia,

From east to west there were four powerful dynasties side by side,

They were the Han Dynasty, the Kushan Empire, the Sabbath Empire, and the Roman Empire.

In these four countries,

The strongest comprehensive national strength belongs to the Han Dynasty in its heyday.

But now it's in decline,

Therefore, it is considered to be the bottom existence among the four major dynasties.

The Empire of Sabbath and the Kushan Empire,

It also belongs to the Central Asian region,

And the borders of the two countries are partly bordered,

Therefore, the battle between the two sides is very fierce,

The earliest predecessor of Kushan,

In fact, it is part of the nobles of the Great Moon Clan in the Western Regions,

Exiled to Central Asia,

The Kushan Empire that was finally established,

Therefore, they have a strong obsession and sense of belonging to the Western Regions.

Now, in a great war with the Empire of Sabbath,

Having achieved some victories,

So, he shifted his attention to the Western Regions.

This is not to say that the Kushan Empire is really strong enough to be able to fight on two fronts,

In fact, the reason is the opposite,

Although the Empire of Sabbath has experienced a defeat,

But the most fundamental reason,

is that they have to deal with another,

The overall strength is slightly inferior to the Roman Empire of the Han Dynasty in its heyday,

This made the Kushan Empire lucky to win.

King of the Kushan Empire,

is also very aware of this,

That's why I want to continue the aftermath of this victory,

Take the whole of the Western Regions,

First, it can make the Kushan Empire stronger,

In response to the next counterattack of the Resting Empire,

On the other hand,

It's also for long-term considerations.

If you want to see how the Han Dynasty is today,

After all, the Western Regions have cut off contact with the Han Dynasty for a long time.

Not only the Han Dynasty,

There is no news from the Western Regions,

The Western Regions and even further west,

It is no longer clear that the changes in the Han Dynasty are not clear,

That's why the Kushan Empire sent troops this time.

"Didn't I hear before, didn't the Han Dynasty already have an army into the Western Regions, then it seems that near this line of heaven, there may be an ambush, but the other party is probably already prepared. Unless the commander of the opposing party is a fool!"

Mamel carefully wiped a gold medal on his chest with that handkerchief,

It was given to him by Udilla, the king of the Kushan Empire,

Representing the second honor in the military circles of the Kushan Empire,

It is also the most precious thing in Mamel.

"So, the youngest wise man of the Empire, do you have any good advice? Let's hear it. ”

Mamel threw away the handkerchief that had been wiped with the medal,

A pair of tripods rested on the table,

The body stretches backwards leisurely,

Lying down in a chair,

With two hands behind your head,

Squinted his eyes and glanced at Mingbayi on the side.

Mingbayi bowed and replied:

"General, I suggest that we might as well take a detour to the east, although the road is more difficult to walk around, but it is better to be safe, and it can save a lot of unnecessary trouble."

Mamel's body, which was still swaying slightly, suddenly paused,

Glancing at Mingbayi's eyes,

Gradually climb up a little unkind,

"A detour? Troublesome? ”

Mingbayi just listened to the other party's tone,

I know that this guy must be unhappy again,

But their own duty,

This is to make reasonable suggestions for the other party,

Therefore, though the heart is extremely unwilling,

But still took a deep breath,

Then he spoke:

"Yes, General. A hundred miles of detours, but at the same time, it can also go to other countries in the Western Regions, and many countries in the north, although they have shown goodwill to our army and are willing to submit to our Kushan Empire, but this kind of verbal agreement, after all, is still uncountable, and our army can pass through these countries, and we can also deter and appease them by the way......"

"......Shh The youngest wise man in the empire thinks about such superficial things, and I don't think you're the same. A pariah is a pariah, and if you wear luxurious clothes, you can't become a nobleman. ”

Mamel coldly interrupted Mingbayi's words,

Unceremoniously sarcastic to him,

"I don't want to talk about the road that is hundreds of miles away, but this kind of behavior is undoubtedly showing weakness to the other party. The countries to the north are clearly the grass on the wall, and even if they are intimidated, if we leave, or if the situation reverses, they will still sway again. But if our army can defeat the army of the Han Dynasty, this kind of real achievement will go far beyond the mere deterrence!"

Mingbayi pursed her lips,

The sarcasm of the other party,

Like a sword into his heart,

This contempt makes him ready to speak the analysis,

Swallowed hard into the stomach,

Because he knows very well,

With the character of Mamel,

At this time, I can't listen to his advice at all.

And Mingbayi is also very clear,

This time, an army of 300,000 went on an expedition to the Western Regions,

It's a task that he Mamel has fought so hard for,

He was in the military circles of the Kushan Empire,

Once hailed as a star of hope,

However, it was defeated several times in succession by the Resting Empire.

This time, the Kushan Empire finally raised its eyebrows,

Defeat the Empire of Sabbath,

Although there are many objective factors,

But it was an out-and-out victory,

However, the commander was not Mamel,

It's another younger general,

Because of this, that person was called the 'god of war' of the Kushan Empire

It was even called so by King Udira himself in public,

This title is what Mamel coveted.
