Chapter 581: Before leaving

It was much darker in the Western Regions than in the Central Plains.

The sky is magnificent, the red glow is like a tide, the Kunlun Mountains in the distance, the outline can be clearly reflected in the bottom of the eyes, Gongsun Zhi stands on the high platform behind the palace, can look at all this. The entire city of Pandraft, also in front of more than 100,000 troops outside the city, became lifeless, and the merchants who had arrived in Shule from outside the Green Mountains in the past heard a camel's scream on this day.

In the palace behind him, a huge wool carpet was spread, and several women from the Western Regions stepped lightly with their bare feet, twisting their waists vigorously, and only a pair of eyes were revealed on their covered faces, glancing at the Han people on both sides charmingly.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Fifteen pairs of ivory, three pieces of white jade pots, a pair of Sassanid Persian chain mail, an iron sword, two pairs of Daqin rhino horn cups, glass cups, luminous walls, and bright moon pearls...... Three horses and fifteen cans of craft wine......"

Timan held a roll of sheepskin, his hands trembled slightly, and read out the gift he presented behind Gongsun Zhi's back, and there were twenty boxes of gold and silver curiosities beside him. In some stammering voices, dense beads of sweat spread all over his face, and when he occasionally stopped, he glanced at the motionless governor of Shangbang who was looking at the scenery outside, and his face twitched every time he pronounced the name of a treasure.

In the ten years of reign, naturally there will not be only such a little wealth, but the caravan that goes to Dawan, or the team that comes back, only has three months a year to pass through the Green Ridge, and the treasures that are treasured have also accumulated little by little in these ten years, but this time, almost more than half of them have been buried.

However, he also knew in his heart that if the Han Dynasty people did not come, it would be difficult for him to survive under the offensive of Suriya Poxi, and it was appropriate to share some wealth with the other party, not to mention that the other party's huge army was standing outside the city, and there were also thousands of people in the city.

On the windowsill, Gongsun Zhi raised his hand abruptly, signaling Timan's words to stop, he turned his face slightly, his cold eyes crossed the corners of his eyes, and looked at the trembling figure.

"Just now you mentioned a country, also outside of Green Ridge?"

Timan hurriedly bowed down: "The governor is talking about Sasani?" I don't know where ..... are, but these things are occasionally brought in by caravans that come and go from both sides each year. ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly waved his hand to let the guards below carry over a wooden box, and took out a set of chain mail and an iron sword inside, and the eyes of the generals in the hall took away from the dancing girl and cast them here. A suit of armor that was different from the Central Plains and even the Western Regions aroused their interest, and someone got up and walked in to take a closer look, reached out and touched the metal made of slender iron wire, looked at it for a moment, turned his head to Timan and asked, "It's about the same as our chain armor." It's hard to get, isn't it? ”

"I heard from the merchant that it was taken from a dead man, and it should be difficult to buy it from Sassanid Persia."

"That's a pity." Zhang Ren also came over from there, directly touched the chain mail, and said in a deep voice: "If you can get more, you can also put it on the soldiers under your command, and you won't be so worried about arrows when you charge into battle." ”

Most of the equipment like this will only be installed in Gyeonggi and several armies on the border, and now that the states are in chaos, the descendants of the princes will have such good things, he couldn't help but touch it twice, and looked at Gongsun Zhi on the other side: "Governor, it's better to beat that Sassanid or something together." ”

"I heard that Dawan has a lot of good horses, and I just lack a thousand-mile horse." Sun Ce laughed, and then arched his hand towards Gongsun Zhi: "Just like General Zhang's proposal, since we are going to fight Daqin, it is better to capture some armies of other countries along the way, collect their armor and weapons, and then let the craftsmen in the army change one or two, which can be used by my Han soldiers, wouldn't it be good." ”

"Of course, I have the same intention."

Gongsun Zhi waved his hand to let the set of chain mail put back on, and then said: "A few years ago, our department will lead the first time to fight with the Great Qin people, and they suffered a big loss on this, they have heavy armor and thick shields, and my Han Dynasty generals, most of the cavalry are leather armor, and the weak points exposed by the foot soldiers are more than the positions covered by the armor. What you mean is exactly what I think......"

He looked at the banquet in the main hall and looked at a person: "What does Zilong think?" ”

Zhao Yun, who was sitting over there, was dressed in silver armor and white robes similar to Ma Chao opposite, both of them also used guns, and often compared martial arts with the latter in the army in their spare time, and rarely came out to walk around, hearing Gongsun Zhi's question, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he already laughed fiercely: "The soldiers under the command of the last general are complaining, lack of armor and horses." ”

There are also many echoes among the seats.

"Well, since all the generals have such thoughts, it would be better." Gongsun Zhi's eyes were serious, and he returned to the throne with his hands down, and when someone poured wine, he waved his hand and withdrew the song and dance, "Tonight is a good rest, tomorrow the fifth watch will pull out the camp and go west to the green ridge, so there will be no delay here, the rear camp will be delayed for two days, and the teams of Khotan, Shache, and Shule will go behind together, and the front army will go ahead with me, and the sheep in the west will still wait for us to hunt." ”

"Yes!"

Things were arranged, everyone walked out of the palace of the king of Shule in twos and threes, and Timan carefully bypassed the giant man and came to the side: "Dudu, I am full tonight...... How about arranging for a woman or two to sleep with the governor? One of my concubines is the best choice in terms of appearance and figure......."

"I'm not good at that."

"Then ......" Timan frowned, and said flatteringly: "Then find a few handsome young men for the governor......"

Gongsun Zhi turned his head and raised his arm violently.

Smack-

Before he finished speaking, the five fingers on his face were suddenly clearly imprinted, his figure stumbled back and hit Dian Wei's chest, his flattering smile froze, covering his hot side face, looking at the governor of Shangbang who got up and left, and carefully asked the giant man next to him: "This general, what did I say wrong?" ”

"My lord is so murderous in his dreams, and you are going to die if you find someone to serve you." Dian Wei put the halberd behind his back, reached out and put his arm around Timan's shoulder, and said in a rough voice: "But I don't refuse to come, I'm about to suffocate my bird for a few months." ”

"Natimon arranges a woman for General ....."

Dian Wei stretched out his palm: "How can one be enough?" I want five! He turned his head and looked at Li Ke: "How many do you want?" Play as you like. ”

"I'm not interested, I haven't slept comfortably yet, and it's smelly." Li Ke glanced at Dian Wei with disdain, and followed the leader in front of him with a mace.

"This kid hasn't been enlightened for so many years?" Dian Wei muttered, didn't care about him, pulled Timan and went to the harem to pick a woman.

As the night gradually darkened, Gongsun Zhi removed his armor, put the scimitar beside him, and then lay down and quietly looked out of the open window, the starry sky, which belonged to the sky that only existed in this era. For thirteen years, he has been desperately trying to survive, and now he is sitting on the leading side, although he has occasional leisure, but he has never stopped, and once he stops to rest, he is facing disintegration.

This is an era of cannibalism, and it is impossible to come here with the mind of travel and vacation.

Just like the march of the Western Regions, when he learned that the mountains were covered by heavy snow in January, February and March, and it rained heavily from April to June, and from October to December, it was even more cold and could not walk, and only the best time period was July, August, and September 10, so he was so anxious to let the army hurry up.

After all, more than 100,000 people marched, not just casually, as the supreme commander of this expeditionary force, it was necessary to ensure that the continuous contingent was maintained before and after, and that military rations, weapons and armor could be continuously supplied...... All aspects of things must be supervised by him, and morale is also focused on, the pressure of long-term marching and fighting, for men, how much to vent their desires, fight and rob, and even some rape. Adulterous incidents can only be punished if one eye is turned a blind eye, and occasionally excessively.

I thought about it for a long time in a daze, and then I gradually fell asleep.

On the same night, in the northern part of the Western Regions, the four figures in long white robes and half of their faces walked through the desert, and saw a long string of torches running through the night, and the savage snorting of the horse thieves was far away, and they came out from behind the rocks where they were hiding, and by the light of the stars and the moon, they could barely see the city with the name on the parchment map, and soon after, the woman at the head stood up and pointed in the direction of the southwest.

When it was daybreak, they set out on the road to the west again, but in the direction parallel to them, a large white wolf with a small beast of the same white left a long series of footprints on the gravel, and with the instincts of the beast......and then met the four women unexpectedly, and then walked together.

In the morning, the golden light shone in through the window lattice, Gongsun Zhi did not sleep for too long, the horn of the military camp outside the city had sounded, Li Ke walked in with a few maids, put on armor and cloak for him, Dian Wei moved away from the sleeping bodies of several women in a few rooms, yawned and brought a double halberd to gather, and went out of the city together.

King Timan of Shule and some guards were already waiting outside the city, a large amount of food was being loaded into the Han chariots in the hands of his generals, and the surrounding temporary military camps were restless, countless figures appeared in the field like ant colonies, and a large number of cavalry had begun to advance.

Seeing the procession coming out of the city, Timan hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and felt pain at the thought that there would be 5,000 soldiers in the near future, but he did not dare to show it in front of the governor of Shangbang. was about to leave, and the three armies still had a lot of things to do, Gongsun stopped over, just nodded at him, and praised: "Well done." Without further ado, he rode in the direction of the barracks.

"The five women you arranged yesterday are good, help me keep them."

On weekdays, this fighting man has never been easy to praise people, maybe promise, at this time, there is also a full arrangement for those women, which makes him feel very satisfied, and then tells the other party to treat those women well, "After the end of the Western Expedition, I will come back, and I will bring it back to the North when the time comes...... Your concubine is also with you, well, rest assured that Lao Dian will treat her well. ”

He turned his head and whispered, and promised that Timan would be looked at differently by his lord in the future, Timan thought about it, and could only nod to the giant man who ate and took it.

In the distance, Lu Bu and Lu Lingqi had already mounted their horses and rode out of the camp with the Bingzhou Iron Horse, and the girl turned around and made a grimace at Gao Shun, who was still loading the iron armor shield in the back, "Uncle, hurry up, I won't wait for you!" The latter, following the voice, looked over, rarely smiled, and then shouted in a voice: "Hurry up the loading!" ”

Lu Lingqi looked at the busy camp, raised her eyes and swept the sky to the west, which was the outline of the majestic Kunlun Mountains, took a deep breath, and urged the horse to follow her father in front, the red long feather swaying gently in the morning breeze. More camps, a large number of soldiers on horseback, baggage, armor on camels, or carts, Pan Feng held the horn helmet, waved his arms, and greeted the busy soldiers: "Sons, you have gone over the mountainβ€”β€”"

The noisy sound came into the tent, Zhao Yun's sturdy upper body was wearing armor, lifting the gentian and lifting the curtain to walk out, the sky outside pierced down, squinted his eyes, and climbed over the green mountains, it was a new world again. In another military camp next to him, Ma Chao told a thin guard beside him, and then turned over on the horse, the guard snorted, walked between the people, passed by the wooden fence, and looked at the white wolf riding camp on the opposite side through the gap, the figure of the white horse and silver spear flashed in the field of vision, and the man's lips were slightly hooked.

Between heaven and earth, more than 100,000 people gathered into a huge ocean, and the movement under his feet shook like thunder in this early morning, countless sword lights, banners, countless figures, and eyes looked at the heights, Gongsun Zhi swept over the stretching army, and the generals of the various armies pulled out their scimitars and raised them.

"On the marchβ€”"

The wolf king's roar swept through the sky.

White clouds like flocculents.
