Chapter 4: Longing in the Poplar Forest

Tie Xinyuan thinks that as long as Wang Anshi thoroughly studies the questionnaire, he will definitely like this way of working in the future. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Dr. Song's biggest drawback is that he likes to use his own head to measure other people's heads.

Especially those who are under their own command, or who are under their own control.

In later generations, Tie Xinyuan hated that sentence the most--I represent whoever expresses serious support for this matter......

Each head has one, and each head has his own opinion, even if it is the same, it is just a coincidence.

Until now, no one in Hami has said anything like who it represents, and if it does, Tie Xinyuan will definitely get to the bottom of it.

If the representative is a really smart person, it will be fine, if he is a fool himself, it will seriously lower the average IQ of the people of Hami.

Wang Anshi's change of law, bad luck is bad luck on the representative, a group of scholars standing on the top of the ivory tower for the farmers who dig and eat in the land, all kinds of considerations, itself makes people very suspicious.

However, these scholars and doctors do these things under the pretext of "the people do not give more and the country uses enough", so their behavior is very worthy of consideration by others.

Therefore, Tie Xinyuan wants Wang Anshi to think about it now, before failing and poking out a big mess.

When the whole people were preparing for the Khitan and vigorously carrying out production, Hami ushered in the hottest season of the year.

At this time, there is no need to consider the possibility of the Khitan people entering the desert, not only can no one enter the desert in this season, even if it is a camel, when it enters the desert at this time, it can only be a roasted camel.

Tie Xinyuan was lying naked under the poplar tree and sticking out his tongue and panting, at this time he didn't want to eat anything, he just wanted to drink water one bite after another, not because his body was dehydrated, but because he coveted that rare coolness.

Quack smeared a little lard on the shovel, then smashed the egg and threw it on the shovel, and after a while, the egg solidified, sprinkled a little salt foam and brought it to Tie Xinyuan.

Tie Xinyuan looked at the well-fried eggs, shook his head, and continued to wrap his head in a damp cloth under the poplar tree.

Huo Xian's face was flushed, he already had signs of heat stroke, Tie Xinyuan did not allow him to run around anymore, and he had to lie in the shade and drink salt sugar water naked.

Lying next to him was the old guy Liu Chu, and his condition was not much better, Tie Xinyuan was very worried that these two old men who had been bought at a high price would die here.

There is not a trace of wind at the edge of the desert, and the poplar field is like a roasted red iron pot, and all the people who come to the poplar field are the beans in the pot, which may burst at any time.

The gunpowder bomb specially placed in the sun for experiments has exploded twice, not only the gunpowder bomb exploded, but also the light oil tank also spontaneously combusted, especially the light oil tank with white phosphorus, the explosion was more violent than the gunpowder bomb.

Speaking of not being afraid of the heat, the whole army will count to three hundred irons! As the general of the guard, he walked back and forth under the sun, the armor on his body was hot, and he still did not forget to check the condition of the guards in the camp.

He liked to hit each poplar tree with long thorns, and whenever he found the trunk empty, he would nail the long thorns into the trunk so that the Assassins could not hide.

After finishing the poplar forest, I had to check the sand on the side to see if there were any enemies hiding underground, so I was very tired.

Seeing this guy pour out half a pound of water from his boots, Tie Xinyuan covered his nose and told him to get away.

Tie Sanbai smiled, took off his helmet and shook his head like a dog, and his head was full of sweat and flew around.

Say "all right" to Tie Xinyuan. and fell down in the shade of the tree.

"The world is like a furnace, and we are the stubborn iron in the furnace!" Huo Xian, who had a wet cloth on his head, began to talk nonsense in his usual tone.

Liu Chu on the side said weakly: "We are looking for ourselves, at this time I should take a nap in the bamboo building on the edge of the Jinjiang River, where the cool breeze is blowing, the water vapor is steaming, drink a pot of light wine, and don't change it for a fairy." ”

"Dying on the bed, in front of the children and grandchildren, should be a shame for my generation."

Liu Chu propped up his upper body and scolded: "Your family is scattered, even if you die, few people will care."

My family has a virtuous wife and filial piety, and a house full of children and grandchildren, how can I not die in front of them and settle down in peace? ”

As he spoke, he took a fried egg from the shovel sent by Gaga, threw it into his mouth and chewed it, and said to Huo Xian with a satisfied groan: "Hami's watermelon is almost ready, right?" ”

Huo Xian smiled: "There should be maturity." ”

Liu Chu patted his belly and said: "Hami is so good, melons and fruits are endless, the last time I wrote to my wife, the old wife didn't believe it, thinking that I was comforting her heart, and said that the land of Hami must be a barbaric place, and the food and clothing are not complete, let alone any melons and fruits." ”

Huo Xian sighed and said: "This is the reason, we have built the Hami Kingdom with flowers, and no one in the country knows about it."

No, the exchange between Hami and the Song State must take place, and it must be large-scale and mutual, which is an urgent matter. ”

"What about the Khitans? Do you want to talk about it too? ”

Huo Xian glanced at Liu Chu sluggishly and said: "Telling the Great Song Hami about his achievements is like the children of the separated family reporting the good news to their parents and telling the Khitan people, do you want the Khitan people to know how rich Hami is, so that they can rob it?" ”

Liu Chu said with a smile: "This time I patrolled the border with the king, and the old man found that the border army of my Hami country was very well prepared.

Although we don't have a way to enter the desert and see the layout in the desert now, you and I both know that judging from the fortifications around Poplar City, the fortifications in the desert should be more fully prepared.

Now, the sun is scorching outside, and in the desert of three hundred and sixty miles, there is no cover, not to mention human tracks, and even the shadow of ghosts cannot be seen, but in such an environment, Huo'er has brought more than 600 people into the desert, and has not yet come out, which shows that the desert fortifications of Hami have their own shading places.

In this case, the old man hoped that the Khitans could come more violently, and as long as they defeated them, they would be able to win peace for Hami for more than ten years, which is called a battle. ”

"The danger of mountains and rivers is not enough to be trusted, and the solidity of mountains and rivers is not in danger, Brother Gongfu, if you can not fight, don't fight."

Huo Xian's expression was faint, and he really didn't seem interested in the war.

Liu Chu smiled and said: "This is not your Huo Xian's nature, who instigated my Great Song Dynasty to attack Qingtang in every possible way?"

The leader of the Qingtang Dynasty has always been the Guiyi King of my Great Song Dynasty, which year is there less worship? In the final analysis, this battle was the cattle, horses, mountains and rivers that my Great Song Dynasty coveted, and finally swallowed them up in one go.

This is an unjust war, and the initiator is precisely you, an old guy who keeps saying that the dangers of mountains and rivers are not enough to fear, and the solidity of mountains and rivers is not in danger. ”

Huo Xian shook the pu fan in his hand and smiled: "This time is also that time." ”

Liu Chu smiled and said, "So, your old man's morality is determined by the direction of the wind to determine whether it exists or not?"

If it's good for me, he will do everything with a knife, and if it's useless to us, he will immediately put on big clothes and stand in the limelight and pretend to be a moral superior? ”

When Liu Chu and Huo Xian were talking, they didn't deliberately avoid people, at least Tie Xinyuan, Yu Chiwen, Ga Ga and the others heard it clearly.

Tie Xinyuan, who was buried by Wei Chiwen with wet sand and only exposed one head, heard it soundly, and whispered to Yu Chiwen and Quack: "Hear clearly, this is the person who reads the book thoroughly."

The history books of my Han family, summed up by the word "advance and retreat", when the national strength is strong, we advance, when the national strength is weak, we defend, this retreat and advance, it will wear out a great nation on the grassland, and my Han family continues to multiply and spread.

Listen to these old fellows, they are all living as spirits, and if you can get a little bit out of their mouths, it will be enough for you to enjoy half your life. ”

Yu Chiwen and Ga Ga nodded again and again, indicating that the two ruthless old guys were indeed models for juniors.

The poplar forest is large enough that some huge poplar trees have been growing here for hundreds of years, and the thick trunks can't be hugged by three or five people.

This is not only a rare oasis place, but also the location of the famous graves in the Western Regions, many people in the Western Regions have no money to get a coffin after they die, so they find a tree hole to stuff the dead into it, and then use a wooden board to fix the gap, luckily, the gap will close, and finally become a tree coffin, just now Tie 300 pulled out a lot of dead people from the poplar tree, and then nailed it in.

Ironically, poplar grows in the desert, but it is not very drought tolerant, and as long as there is no water source, it will die in patches. It seems to be more resistant to waterlogging, even if the rivers in the Western Regions are flooding, it can live lush in the water for a year or two, and now, because of the emergence of the Poplar River, the growth of this poplar forest has become more prosperous, and the poplar saplings that have not been seen for a long time are working hard to grow on the sand, once the old poplar trees die, they can immediately occupy the empty sky.

On the other side of the Poplar River, there is also a poplar forest, and Musin sits under the poplar tree, staring at the poplar forest on the opposite side in a daze.

Since coming to Hami, Mu Xin has been in a daze more and more.

This is not the behavior of a wise man.

He knew that Tie Xinyuan was in the poplar forest on the other side of the river, but he didn't have any idea of assassination.

With his remaining hundred or so people, it is simply impossible to assassinate Tie Xinyuan under the protection of the 5,000 army.

Mu Sin, who came to Hami with grief and indignation, wanted to exchange his life for Tie Xinyuan's life, but now, he has no desire and no desire, like a sculpture.

Everything in Hami is unreasonable......

The powerful are unreasonable, the rich are unreasonable, and at the same time, the calm is unreasonable.

If......

If possible, Mu Xin would like to sit face to face with Tie Xinyuan and talk for three days and three nights.

The outcome of the conversation should be more meaningful than a hearty victory.
