"The last general, Xue Rengui, see the princess!" Xue Rengui said solemnly.

"General Xue is exempt, thank you for coming to greet you, but you and your husband are good friends, just call your sister-in-law in the future." Guang'an took off the cloak on his head to shield the wind and sand and the sun, and said to Xue Rengui gently.

"Yes! The younger brother obeys the teachings of his sister-in-law. Xue Rengui said with his fists clenched.

"Okay, Rengui will take us to find a place to camp, we haven't had a good rest in the desert for a few days." Feng Daiwen saw that Xue Rengui was very restrained, so he greeted with a smile.

Xue Rengui breathed a sigh of relief, got up and said on his horse, "Brother Feng, please come with my junior brother, there is a water source more than ten miles away from here, and it is just right to set up camp." ”

Feng Daiwen and Xue Rengui walked over, and the three thousand cavalry over there automatically dispersed to both sides, looked at Feng Daiwen with admiration, and shouted loudly: "See the chief manager!" ”

Because Guang'an traveled as Feng Daiwen's wife and did not play the princess banner, no one gave a salute, and few people knew that she was coming.

The group soon came to the water source under the escort of the cavalry, an oasis at the foot of the hill, a lot of various poplars stood tall all around, and the green bushes made the travelers who had just come out of the desert feel very comfortable.

The army set up camp, Feng Daiwen took Guang'an, Yaya, and Ao Meice to the top of the hill immediately, and watched the desert sunset under the escort of Xue Rengui, Xia Chuyue, the Chen family brothers and others.

Watching the sunrise in the desert, the first time you will feel beautiful, beautiful, spectacular, and then you will feel desolate, the ancient desert, lifeless at all, all the way, affected by the war, not a single caravan has been touched, and it is even more lonely, fortunately, they are just passing through the edge of the desert, and they are not too far away, otherwise for people who enter the desert for the first time, they are all barren, and there is sand all around them, as if there is no way out, and the mental pressure is quite great.

And now out of the desert, looking back to see the sunset, under the sunset, a piece of golden, the oasis water source is shining, and it is so beautiful, the endless desert in the distance, which makes people have a big heart and a lot of open-mindedness.

People who live in the alleys of the city and the courtyards of deep houses all the year round are naturally comfortable when they step out of that world and face the vast nature.

The girls of Guang'an were pointing and smiling from time to time, and even the early summer moon, who had always been indifferent, rarely showed a smile.

Looking back at Feng Daiwen's surprised eyes, Xia Chuyue immediately regained her indifference, but the red glow on her face betrayed her deeply, obviously her heart was not as indifferent as it seemed, it was just a disguise of self-protection.

Everyone below the hill had already begun to boil water for cooking, and since Feng Daiwen's troops were strictly forbidden to eat raw water, many more people would be responsible for boiling water every time they set up camp.

A curtain was enclosed on one side of the camp, which was used by the military doctors and nurses to bathe after dark, and as for the rough men in the army, they lined up to carry water and find a remote place to bathe.

As long as there are conditions, Feng Daiwen will never allow his soldiers to be sloppy, and daily bathing is a must.

After the meal, Feng Daiwen sat in the tent with hot tea, and asked Xue Rengui, who was sitting next to him, "Rengui, do you know, how is the situation in the Western Regions recently?" ”

"It's a mess, and the end, Shanshan, Shache, Shule four countries jointly attacked Khotan, Qiuzi, Wusun united many countries to attack Zhaowu Jiu, other small countries are also taking the opportunity to attack, intending to expand their territory, there are many tribes also want to occupy the city and establish a country, there are also horse thieves who make obstacles from it, take advantage everywhere, there is no turmoil under the care of our Tang Dynasty." Xue Rengui shook his head and pointed to the map of the Western Regions on the table.

"It's chaotic, there are also opportunities to make a fortune in troubled times, and now Brother Su is stationed there?" Feng Daiwen said indifferently, anyway, no matter how you get it in the Western Regions, it is rare to have a country with more than 100,000 troops, and the beliefs are chaotic, it is really rare to conquer them one by one.

"Here! Xijile City, until after the war last year, the merchants and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are concentrated here, not far from the Cheshi and Yanqi, just to support each other. Xue Rengui pointed to the map and said.

"Okay, it's been hard work for many days, Rengui, you should rest early, and when you get to the place, everyone will discuss together." Feng Daiwen compared it with his hand on the map, and then said to Xue Rengui with a smile.

"Okay, Brother Feng, you should rest early!" Xue Rengui got up and said goodbye.

…………

On the first day of the sixth month of the sixth year of Zhenguan, Tuyuhun Fuluochuan City, which was besieged by the Tang Dynasty for three months, Murong Hun of the Murong family led Chezhong and other tribes to kill Fuyun, the king of Tuyuhun, and surrendered Kaicheng.

Hou Junji took Fuluochuan lightly, and at the same time passed the weapons of the two cities of Shehan and Bailan, and both cities surrendered in the same month, and at the same time the army of Qibi He Li shuai broke through, chased to the Chishui River in a company, killed more than 15,000 people of the Tuyuhun army, captured Fu Yun's son Fushun alive, and seized hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep, although there were more than 200,000 herdsmen among the people, but most of the relatives at home were in Fuluochuan, and Bailan guarded the city, and there was almost no resistance, and obediently followed back, only the Tianzhu Department fled to Tubo under the leadership of the new Tianzhu King.

In the middle of the same month, the good news spread to Chang'an, Li Shimin was overjoyed, and ordered to relocate Qinghai Road, just relocated the people of the Yangtze River to move more than 50,000 people, and ordered Hou Junji to change the title of Qinghai Governor's Governor's Mansion, and guarded the original Tuyuhun territory, and let Qinwen go to serve as the deputy governor and take charge.

At the same time, the original Tuyuhun people were divided into two, and half of them were moved to Longyou Road led by Li Daozong, and Qinghai Horse Farm was set up, and Longyou Horse Farm was set up to raise war horses.

The original Tuyuhun soldiers selected 20,000 elites, and they were mixed and returned to the leadership of Hou Junji, because they were more adapted to the plateau climate, and the rest of the soldiers were all unarmed and returned to the field, and all the nobles and generals were escorted to Chang'an.

This is the experience summed up by the Tang Dynasty, as long as all the officials and rich people are gone, the remaining people are very easy to manage, they don't care too much about who is the official, when the king, as long as they are a little better, it is really a little better, and the requirements are not high.

What's more, it is a powerful Datang, everyone must hope that their country is strong, this is the biggest backer, and a strong country can bring a stable life.

With the end of the Tuyuhun battle, the merchants who had been impatient for a long time, like sharks smelling blood, flocked to the city, bringing countless materials and commodities, and exchanged the skins of the Tuyuhun people, cattle and sheep, wool, and goat milk also had special people to set up workshops to buy.

In a short period of time, the people of Tuyuhun feel that their lives are much happier, and all kinds of canned fruits, frosting, clothes and other daily necessities that have been common in Datang have opened the eyes of these people, and the quality of life has improved by a grade, which is also because they belong to the occupied area, and the exchange price is not too high, but for merchants, the exchange of things is several times more than that of selling to the people of the Central Plains, which is also the reason why they are flocking to it.
