Except for the occasional pro-soldiers, most of the people in the tent were lost in thought, even including the former gladiators who followed all the way, Lao Luo actually understood very well what these people were thinking, in fact, in recent times, why hasn't he been often upset?

From East Africa to Western Xinjiang, traveling tens of thousands of miles by land, and it is not the era that I am accustomed to, how can that feeling of time and space confusion be easily overcome? The longing for his family, the longing for his comrades-in-arms, the sigh for the world, the confusion of time and space, all things are entangled, he just wants to find a spiritual support.

The first to accept the two black boys to follow was like this, Constantinople's good impression of Li Ji was like this, and it was still like this when Sylvan promised to lead the people back to the East, and the final reliance was actually the land where the East gave birth to him and raised him.

It's just that in this time and space, the land where he was born and raised is still the same as he was thinking about? That grassland, and that yellow earth?

Or in this way, it is a bit like the official language that once belonged to a certain era, to put it more simply, Lao Luo grew up in the muddy land of northern Shaanxi and the grassland of China and Mongolia, and in the confusion of the journey, what people miss most is still the wild and innocent little world they experienced in childhood.

Of course, Lao Luo actually knows very well in his heart, this is not the era when he grew up, and most of what he sees in the East is also the land of thousands of years ago, and the current vision of returning to the East is not self-deception, but the inertia of people's thinking, if you don't take a look at it in person, you will always be unwilling. Also, although he didn't have a good impression of the Zhao and Song dynasties, the people living in that land had no grudges against him, but rather his ancestral roots.

Another important point is that he is not the kind of gilded party that faints at the sight of blood when he stays in the garrison, but a special soldier who rushes out in blood and fire. Not to mention Lao Luo, a guy full of hawkish ideas, who was suppressed by the so-called political concept of peaceful rise in later generations, didn't he untie the shackles in this era?

So after being confused, Lao Luo often secretly rejoices. Fortunately, there can be an era of exerting strength, although this era has a thousand years of mistakes with their own era, but is it not a good opportunity to make up for the shortcomings in their hearts? He is not the kind of docile and good citizen who longs for his wife and children to be hot on the kang head when he encounters, he can go to the position of a senior officer, and it has become a habit for him to be responsible, and he will be at a loss without responsibility - after being kicked out of the army in later generations, he went to work as a mercenary, which is actually a kind of self-exile.

When he came out of the primeval forest at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, Lao Luo had a thirst for responsibility, and the reality was in Mombasa for the clamor of the Cui Fan family, and then Kai Helen abducted the chief sage of Fatima, and then went on a theft spree in Constantinople...... All of this is for his own subconscious change of the East to make a layout.

As for whether the so-called will affect his time and space, Lao Luo is not worried. He wasn't just a reckless man who knew how to kill, he knew the word topology chain reaction (butterfly effect) as well - if it affected the plane, it started from the moment he arrived on the plane, and as long as he did, whatever he did, it would inevitably affect everything in the plane in the future. There is no shortage of eccentric talents among the former mercenary comrades, and Hawking's parallel space theory is also a topic of discussion.

Therefore, Lao Luo's heart was confused at the same time, full of longing and calm.

Shaking his head, putting aside the images of the past, Lao Luo cheered up and spoke again: "You may know the general situation in the East, but I am afraid you are not so clear about the specific situation. As far as I know, from here to the east, the population will become more and more populous, and it will no longer be like on the previous road, except for a few cities where there are hardly any people. ”

None of the people who were awakened by Lao Luo's thoughts spoke, but only listened and imagined the situation in the East.

"As we go east from the Polo River, there will be several forces along the way, and the first one you may encounter is not a Dangxiang, but a Uighur, and according to the captives, they are all Buddhists, and it is not known what their attitude towards us will be. There is another force that needs to be paid attention to on the next road, that is, a feudal town left over from the late Tang Dynasty, they are called the Guiyi Army. Lao Luo described it according to his own memory of history, and Helton, who was sent by him to Luntai City to investigate, has not been able to deliver the news again.

"Generals, Uighurs and Guiyi, how many warriors did they have? Will it be our enemy? As the highest-ranking cavalry general under Lao Luo, Gonzas paid the most attention to battle, because he believed that only combat was the meaning of their gladiators' existence by Lao Luo's side.

"There's no exact word about them yet, but in any case, their population and warriors are not comparable to those of the Ghaznavids and Qarluqs." Lao Luo answered very calmly, and then said: "There must be caution, but when it comes to fighting, how can they be our opponents?" ”

It's not that Lao Luo is arrogant, at this point, as long as he doesn't encounter the Khitan brigade cavalry or Zhao Song's brigade of infantry head-on, these Western Xinjiang tribes are really not worth his attention.

"San Lang, still have to be careful, we don't have that many of us." Li Ne, who was sitting on Lao Luo's left hand seat, reminded, "I heard some news a few years ago, the Li family in Khotan, oh, their real surname is Wei Chi, one of the daughters of the Li family Li Letian married the leader of the Guiyi army surnamed Cao, and the Uighurs are still loyal to the former Tang Dynasty. ”

Although Li Nie is too lazy to take care of things, the connection between the Tang people's camp and the East has not been completely broken over the years, at least some news is still known, but because of the long distance, it is often a long time later.

"Xie Shibo reminds!" Lao Luo respectfully thanked him, there is an old man at home who is a baby, and he can remind himself not to get carried away. Then he continued: "The former origin of the Tang Dynasty may still be useful, but when it comes to interests, I'm afraid it's not easy to say that the people's hearts are not good, and the leader of the party is also surnamed Li, isn't it also from thousands of miles away to attack us?" ”

Li Ne was silent and didn't speak, because he also knew that the former Tang Li family no longer had much appeal, and mentioning the events of the year was just adding shame to the Li family.

The atmosphere was a little depressed for a while, of course, mainly on the side of a few private principals, there was no reaction on the side of the officers, a group of guys with big shoulders and round waists were holding milk tea, milk wine and fresh melons and fruits and munching, as for what Lao Luo said, they were not worried, because the continuous victories gave them the confidence to cut down all enemies, not only the former gladiators, but also Cheng Shouru, a man with a door panel, was a virtue.

Min Wenhou, who was still sitting with Alke, knew how to observe words and emotions better, and said: "General, many of the captives we captured were Han Chinese, especially the person left by Li Deming, they didn't resist at all, and they were very obedient. You see if you can pardon them, they can't be regular soldiers, and it's not bad to let them be auxiliary soldiers! ”

"And this?" Li Xuan, who was directly opposite Min Wenhou, spoke, because he had just come from Jinghu Lake, and he hadn't had time to check around.

"Indeed, there are probably 15,000 Han captives." This number is not accurate, because there are too many prisoners and too many things, and this part of the people has not yet had time to be counted.

"That's great, it just so happens that there are too many things that need to be repaired, and I still lack manpower over there, so I can transfer some to help!" Li Nie's spirit recovered and he said happily. The old man was very open-minded, and he simply threw away the things he couldn't think of.

"It's a good thing, Lao Dou is also short of people here, and there is finally someone to replenish!" The stubborn old man Dou Mill, who had been bored for a long time, also came to his senses.

"Don't rob the two of you, more than 10,000 people, enough for you!" Dune, who had been listening for a long time, was busy holding down the old guys on the left and right.

Li Zheng, who never interjected, was more familiar with the situation of the Qarluqs and Turks, and at this time he also spoke: "General, are there Qarluqs and Turks among the captives?" ”

"There are a lot of them, what do you think?" The acceptance of Han captives should be easy, Lao Luo was not worried, and Li Zheng's questioning aroused his interest.

"General, the Qarluqs are not all die-hard Green Christians, most of them are actually very poor, and it is easy to convert them by giving them something to eat. What's more, you forgot? We have dozens of Qarluqs in our back camp. Li Zheng said very cheerfully.

"Makes sense, then you ask the Turks?" Lao Luo really ignored this matter, and only then did he remember that he still had two leading parties, Corn Philo and Muniqi.

"The Ghaznavid side is mainly dominated by Turkmen, and the rest of the tribes are not harmonious, and many tribes are still fighting each other......" When it comes to being familiar with nomadic tribes, I am afraid that everyone in this tent is not as good as Li Zheng, who travels all year round.

Lao Luo listened for a while before he understood the troubles a little, and finally when Olki began to ask someone to bring the roasted meat, he had to interrupt him: "The roast is ready, everyone, please!" The future Great Honglu, you will have to work hard these days, we have a lot of Qarluq and Turkic captives, you are responsible for screening them! ”

Li Zheng, who was worried that he had nothing to do in the East, readily agreed.

The roasted beef and mutton were constantly deflected by the soldiers with knives, and then served with a huge copper plate device, and the thick fragrance overflowed, and no one was humble to divide their own food with their own knives, including Zhang Shen, who claimed to be a literati.

It's just that except for a few guys who focus on military affairs and don't care about munching, everyone else is wondering where this team should stay, after all, the homeland of the East is close at hand.
