In the early summer season, the sandy ground was full of all kinds of low grass and dwarf alfalfa, and a hundred and ten people sat on the ground without saying a word, and there were hundreds of silent bystanders around him, Lao Luo was stunned.

Staring at the people around him, he pondered for a while, and then he figured out that there are few reciprocal dialogues in this era, which is still a point that Du Ne inadvertently said before, and now his old Luo is not the leader of the nameless caravan when he first came to the Tang camp, but a general with more than a thousand people, in the eyes of these civilians, he is a nobleman, and he is destined to be high.

"Okay, I'll name you......" Lao Luo knew that he couldn't change this in a short period of time, so he had to follow the established rules, "Dou Milling Old Uncle, I know that you have been guarding the gate of the new barracks for many days, tell me what you think?" ”

Since this old father of Dou Zucheng is the most representative figure, let's start with the most active figure. Lao Luo deliberately did not use honorifics, figured out the difference between classes and the characteristics of this era, and then used the habits of later generations, which obviously caused unnecessary misunderstandings, the word "inviting people to buy people's hearts" is not only known by later generations, and "courtesy to people, must have something to seek" is not only understood by nobles.

"I ...... I just think that General Luo has only a thousand people under him, even if there are General Cheng's city guards, there are still tens of thousands of old and weak women and children, but there are hundreds of thousands of Turkic people on the eastern grassland......" Dou Mo stood up tremblingly and spoke, not because he was not physically strong, but because he had never spoken nervously in front of so many people, not to mention that Lao Luo made the scene so formal.

Does his word make sense? Yes, so many people around began to move, although there was no noise, but they were all thinking about the trade-offs in their hearts, no way, involving their own bodies, no one could remain calm.

"Anything else? You continued...... "Lao Luo is not worried at all about not being able to control the situation, he has seen a lot of scenes that are much bigger than this in the future."

"There is another question, General Luo, I am a veteran, I don't understand the big truth, I still heard the words of the general when you travel a thousand miles, I don't know how to solve the problem of tens of thousands of people going east for tens of millions of miles, eating and drinking, etc.? I'm afraid that there is not so much food in the Tang camp, and it is said that there are many deserts in the east, and the consumption of men and horses is an incredible amount...... "Maybe it was because he found that Lao Luo didn't have any annoyed or angry expressions, or maybe it was the veteran's bravery who went up again, and the gray-haired Dou Milling Lala said a lot of miscellaneous things, but he didn't pause at all.

The people next to him were still a little commotion at first, but with Dou Miao's words, Lao Luo's expression remained the same, and he was also a little looking forward to what kind of reply this General Luo could give.

Lao Luo has been listening patiently, at this time he is not afraid that others will have ideas, and he doesn't even care about opposing him, but he is just worried that everyone is as silent as wood, or how to say that silent resistance is the most troublesome thing. It is easy to deal with words, whether it is a quarrel or a protest, it is a way to communicate, and the kind of person who does not say anything and cannot listen to anything is the most difficult to deal with.

"Okay, Uncle Dou is done, see what everyone means and wait for me to answer, I will also say a few words, lest everyone muttered in their hearts that I, the general, abducted your son or man." Lao Luo's words drew a burst of good-natured laughter.

"First of all, I want to say that everyone should know the combat power of my side, not my surname Luo's boast, no matter which one of these warriors can fight at least ten Samanids or Turks," Lao Luo said, pointing to a few former gladiators standing not far away, "They followed me from Smyrna to here, and not a single one died on the way." Oh, Smyrna you don't know, you just need to know that it's three thousand miles away from here, it's a Roman place, it's easy to confirm, Li Zhan of the Li family and Zhang Lu of the Zhang family came back with me, yes, and the fire lady of the Li family. ”

The feedback from the people around him made Lao Luo very happy, at least they didn't know anything about Lao Luo.

"Dozens of them were slightly injured at the time, and now they are all gone. Oh, someone was going to set fire to the workshop in the city a while ago, and a few of the injured guys are waking up now, you all know, right? Lao Luo deliberately used a conversational tone to talk, which he learned from the instructor in his later life, not to mention, the effect is really good, at least the expression of the white-haired old man looked much more relaxed.

"There are the best red wounded men in the camp, don't worry about them dying if they get stabbed, and now I equip all the warriors with the best armor, the sharpest weapons, see their armor and knives, right? The Turks did not defeat us so easily. Lao Luo breathed a sigh of relief when he said this, "Moreover, the Tang Dynasty had already broken the bones of the Turks back then, don't you descendants of the Tang Dynasty even have the courage to face them?" ”

"Of course it's not ......" The voice of the rebuttal changed from high to low, and it was Wang Dachuan, who was hot.

Lao Luo glanced at him, this Wang Dachuan's son is called Wang Qing, he stayed next to him, he was a good man who could make a horse sword, "That's right, the Turks that Dou Lao Zhang said have hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but the Turks are also fighting chaotically, none of them can mobilize hundreds of thousands of people to besiege us, if thousands or tens of thousands of people come, let them come and test the knife for me!" ”

"Good man!" Lao Luo's words were very plain, and the onlookers applauded, and many of the more than 30 families who made trouble bowed their heads.

"Uncle Dou just said a paragraph, asking what to do with the supplies along the way, my answer is, although Uncle Dou can rest assured, the army travels, the grain and grass move first, I Luo Kaixian is not a scholar who talks about soldiers on paper, some time ago many merchants came and went to transport grain and grass on the road for us, as for water, who said that there is no water to drink in the desert? I said yes, but I can't say the method now, this will be the secret of our passage to the desert. "When the desert is starting to heat at this time, the temperature difference between day and night is large, it is easy to use the condensation method to get water, and Lao Luo's space is not white belt, so it can naturally be prepared in advance.

The people around are in a roar, and the biggest difficulties have been solved, so what else is there to worry about?

After a while, waiting for people's enthusiasm to subside a little, Lao Luo continued: "Uncle Dou, in fact, you also understand that the ancestor of the Li family is not a fool, so naturally he will not make uncertain decisions, after all, the Tang people are temporarily living in this land, and they are not practical after all without the strength to protect themselves, I believe everyone understands this." You feel embarrassed because you can't bear the family business here, right? After more than ten years, you have worked hard to cultivate dozens of acres of farmland, and once you go to Dongtu, you are likely to start again......"

Before Lao Luo's words were finished, Dou Miao's face turned red, and with his white hair, it really felt like he was white-haired and red-faced.

"Don't worry, Uncle Dou, Luo Mou is not laughing at you when he says this," Lao Luo stretched out his hand and pressed it downward, signaling Dou Mill, who wanted to get angry, to sit down, "I know that everyone has worked hard for many years, and I can't bear these belongings, so I can't throw them here after years of hard work, right?" ”

Dou Miao's face softened a lot, and the expressions of some people around him also calmed down.

"Actually, just like I told everyone in the camp," Lao Luo casually pointed to the families of the recruits who were watching next to him, "All the things in the entire Tang camp, including the small town, are ours, and there is no reason to give them up for no reason, so I discussed a matter with the Great Elder of the Li Family and Elder Dune, that is, to resell everything here, Armenians, Georgians, Samanids, Shirvans, and even Turks can be buyers, and the fields of Old Uncle Dou can also be handled in the same way, When the price comes, you will negotiate it yourself, whether you need gold or silver, or grain, you will decide for yourself. Rest assured, no one dares to bargain maliciously, this is still our place after all! ”

Lao Luo said this matter, never revealed it to others, even the onlookers and the families of the recruits did not know the roots, and the original explanation to them was that they did not have to worry about family wealth, and these people believed it. Now when such words are said, everyone can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Great, now my cattle have a way to deal with it......" shouted Wang Dachuan.

"Melon goods, didn't you just say that you were worried about how to live in the east?" Dou Mo doesn't have so much pressure to worry about now, so he is naturally in the mood to tease his old buddy.

"What are you afraid of, it's a big deal to buy more sheep when the time comes. It's you, I've heard that there are a lot of old families, see where you can find such a good Ueda. Wang Dachuan rarely loses his temper when he fights with his old partner.

"You said it, what are you afraid of, it's a big deal for me to reopen the land." Those who have been soldiers are not afraid of difficulties, and it is impossible to admit it.

The noisy voice of "......" spread, and after seeing that Lao Luo was a reasonable general, everyone avoided it less.

Lao Luo turned his attention to the women with Central Asian faces, and it could be seen at a glance that the older of these people were the elders of the recruit soldiers, and the younger ones must be their mothers-in-law. It's rare to say so many words, Lao Luo stabilized his mood, he really couldn't remember what to call it, "Grandma, there are ...... Sister, I don't know what you're worried about? Maybe let's talk about it? ”

The women of Central Asia were rarely shy, they were generally warm and cheerful, and a woman with dark brown curly hair took the lead in speaking, "General, our sisters' homes are not far from here, and the men of the Tang camp are married because they are more reliable than the men of our clan, but if we follow you to the East, it will be difficult for us to see our families again." ”

A grandmother with a wrinkled face also spoke: "Parwana is right, I have been married into the Tang camp for thirty years, my man died five years ago, and my son and family are my everything, but ...... If I follow my son to the East, I don't know if I will live to see my family again, and I won't live long, the road is too busy, I will die on the road. ”

This is a very real problem, and Lao Luo also feels a headache. This era is not like the later generations, you can take a plane to move quickly on the earth under your feet, in this era, different ethnic groups are very deep, strange ethnic groups meet in a land, the first thing to do is not to say hello, but to guard against each other, because of the language barrier and information blockage, often for inexplicable reasons to fight, and then evolve into a feud between ethnic groups.

Especially in places like Central Asia, nomadic tribes fight for abundant pastures for water and grass, and armed or small-scale battles are commonplace. From Hilfan to the eastern world, it happens to be through the areas where the most strife is frequent, and one can imagine the difficulties involved. Lao Luo couldn't force everyone to obey his orders, and although he didn't have much emotional experience from the afterlife, he didn't want to ruin other people's marriages. So he turned his gaze to the men of the women, the recruits: "Soldiers, what are you going to do with such a thing?" ”

The two dozen recruits were silent, and it was clear that they were also in a difficult situation.

Lao Luo is very happy, he is not short of a few soldiers, but he doesn't want to see his subordinates say something stupid about "why is a big husband without a wife", there are always stories of men killing wives and banqueting guests, abandoning wives and children, as if bullying women can prove that they are greater.

A man who doesn't value his family has no sense of responsibility, and Lao Luo forgot where he heard this phrase, but it didn't prevent him from believing in it. So he said to the recruits very solemnly: "As your general, of course I hope that you are brave soldiers, but as a man, I prefer that my men are brave and responsible. Your parents have raised you, and your wife has no complaining trust with you, and you cannot abandon them at a critical moment. ”

The recruits were even more silent, obviously Lao Luo said what was in their hearts, but the contradiction between the needs of the family and the desire to fight was a difficult trade-off.

Lao Luo didn't wait for them to answer, it was obvious that their vision and experience were bound by their vision, "I will provide you with a few methods, one is to bring your wife's family, I welcome them, and the other is to stay and take care of the old people at home, maybe it won't be long, five years, maybe ten years, our caravan will come back here again." ”

At this moment, the recruits raised their heads, and the eyes of their families lit up.
