It is difficult to be a human being because the human heart is more complex than the confused silk threads in the silk hole; It is difficult to walk because there are often no roads at all

Standing on a low slope thirty miles away from Tehran, looking at the tens of thousands of busy people who were camping not far away, Lao Luo thought a little bitterly, and asked himself again Is all this hard work worth it? After thinking about it, he found that he had asked himself a stupid question, and it didn't matter if it was worth it or not, and there was never a balance between gains and losses.

It's just that since I chose to return to my hometown when I was in East Africa, everything on the road should have been expected. According to his own character, it is really difficult to turn a blind eye to these Tang people, and how to survive in the "hometown" of this era in the future is also a question that must be considered in advance.

So, there was no choice.

Does not only yourself, but also these busy Tang people have a choice? Again, no, if it weren't for themselves, they would have been crushed in this land.

The journey from the Sylvan Plain to Tehran, a Persian city on the southern shore of the Magyar Sea, is actually no more than 700 kilometers, and it will only be a day's journey in the future, provided of course with good roads and well-equipped cars. Nowadays, there is a world of difference between the use of all animal-powered carts and all kinds of livestock, and the need to take care of a large number of men, women, and children.

The whole journey took twenty-three days.

Two days after coming out of Sylvan, Lao Luo realized that he had greatly underestimated the difficulty of the road in this era.

If it was just a horse or camel, the road at this time would not be a problem, and the entire team of tens of thousands of people still had all kinds of vehicles used to haul personal belongings and grain and grass, if it weren't for the previous Lao Luo who limited the number of materials that everyone carried, the Tang people who moved hamsters would have changed this eastward journey into a big move of 10,000 miles - then it would really become a fat sheep in the eyes of the bandits along the way. The Tang people had long been accustomed to the countryside in this land, becoming very much like a nomadic tribe, and because they had been planning their eastward journey months earlier, scheming people had been buying livestock for transportation. The term livestock is used because the price of horses and camels has become so expensive that many people have to buy donkeys or mules to get around.

As for the car? Except for floating vehicles, the rest are basically used to carry supplies.

From the day the production of vans and floaters began, the joint workshop made a large number of wheels, and in addition to preparing the wheels for damage on the road, the craftsmen who liked them prepared their own carts for carrying goods, and today there are few wooden wheels or narrow wheels for saving materials.

In this era, there was not a complete road, even the most humble muck road in the countryside in later generations, and the only roads were only the narrow wheeled carriages and the undulating traces of the undulating grass trotted by the hooves of horses and camels. At this time, you can see the benefits of the wide-body wheels of the partial van, not even a car will be stuck in the soft floating soil, of course, the disadvantage is that when encountering narrow mountain roads, you need to slow down to avoid stones on both sides of the road or on the road.

The floating car is a good thing, if there is no windy weather, this thing is definitely the best means of travel in this era, not only does not have bumps, but also can deter wild animals. But it's bad in windy weather, the wind blows the huge balloons off the road, and the pull of two horses is absolutely impossible to resist the force of nature.

Therefore, with the run-in of time, before setting off after each break, it is always up to the experienced elderly to judge the weather, and from this to determine the travel time, mileage and campsite. Speaking of the weather, everyone in the team is now glad that rain is scarce in this area, and although it is close to the Magyar Sea, there is no shortage of rain every summer, but because of the prolonged drought, it is impossible for a small amount of rain to accumulate on the ground.

According to this statement, a 700-kilometer journey will not take nearly a month's journey, right?

In fact, because of the sufficient preparation of materials, the journey is rarely delayed due to material reasons, and the consumption of time is more on people.

Speaking of people, the soldiers' problems are not big, the key is their respective families, and some civilians who have been far away from the army. Since the third day of coming out of the small town on the Sylvan Plains, some people have begun to say in the crowd that they regret it, and they might as well withdraw if they knew so. Because it happened that the civilian team was also mixed between the several schools guarding the city, the rumors echoed before and after, so that the soldiers were also affected.

When Lao Luo and Cheng Shouru found that something was wrong with the team, ten days had passed, and the team had arrived at the Ardabil Plain. Three civilian detachments had already stayed on the banks of the Gala River and were ready to return, but fortunately, the lieutenant in the middle was decisive, and directly ordered to take down all the dozen or so soldiers of a lieutenant who was following him, and then led the team to stop the movement of the civilian detachment.

After receiving the news, Lao Luo and Cheng Shouru rushed to the scene, and Cheng Shouru, who was furious, was about to order the soldiers who followed the noise to be killed, Lao Luo of course was very much in favor of this, not the so-called ruthlessness, no matter according to the discipline of the army in which period, this kind of noisy and disturbing behavior in front of the army is equivalent to desertion, and deserters on the verge of war are not equivalent to desertion in peacetime.

It is said that things have come to such a point, it is basically a foregone conclusion, but the blood-spurting thing still happened, Li Tan, the ancestor of the Li family, did not know who rushed to the scene because of whose notice, and the old man in his old age can have no taboos in this era.

The old man felt that it was not a good sign to start with the blood of his own people at the beginning of the journey, but the discipline of the army could not be a joke......

It took a day to settle the matter, and the final result was the confiscation of all the allotted in all the ranks, according to the severity of the problem committed by all those involved, and then the punishment of punishments ranging from eighty to thirty lashes, and the expulsion of the people, together with the civilians who had fledgled with a clamour, more than 300 men.

After that, Lao Luo, together with Cheng Shouru and Du Ne, made a resolution, followed by a general investigation for two consecutive days: If you regret wanting to return to the original town, although you go back, no one will blame anyone, but if there are similar noisy actors on the way, you will be decided!

Lao Luo knew very well in his heart that it was impossible to expect an order from everyone to have an idea, which was the cartoon Toy Story of later generations. There are always people who are selfish and have no bottom line, shrink their hands in the face of difficulties or hardships, choose to give in in the face of oppression and temptation, and then hope to be recognized by their robes and even relatives and entrust them with righteousness and awe-inspiring name: for the sake of others.

What a shamelessness that must be!

Civilians are not soldiers after all, it is impossible to use compulsory orders to reprimand, they can only use self-correction or self-choice methods, and more than a dozen people have left the team in the face of pressure......

After three days in the valley of the river from Ardabil, the team was cleaned up, and the leaders of the civilian and family detachments were reorganized, and when the time came to set off again, the team's cooperation and coordination finally looked like something in shape.

After another ten days of hard work, I have traveled a farther way than before. Perhaps the team had undergone a "slimming" to get rid of harmful impurities and was becoming lean, and even under the watchful eye of the numerous passers-by in Ardabil, the disturbance of the Turks in the Gilan Mountains could not stop the pace of the entire brigade.

Of course, perhaps the Tang people's spirit of not admitting defeat was the driving force, and the itinerant cavalry that Gonzhas led was the most convincing - they destroyed at least seventeen bandit teams around them, and conservatively counted seven or eight hundred, and the new recruits in the cavalry fought bravely without even the supervision of their Qu Chang (the former gladiators).

It is indeed true to say that human beings tend to become more and more resilient when they endure hardship, and tend to self-destruction when they are enjoying happiness. The co-operation within the ranks is becoming more and more skillful, and the lazy lazy men who used to be lazy and like to bask in the sun may now become experts at conditioning carts, and when they stop to rest, the grumbling women are more fond of nagging and making all kinds of food with their hands and feet - the house-sitting cooks are also moving closer to the direction of the wild gourmets.

After following the trade route and finally avoiding the terrain of the Gilan Mountains, Lao Luo decided to make a little repair in this open area in the southwest of Tehran.

Without him, Lao Luo no longer has the idea of remembering history, although the area near Tehran is considered the most prosperous area in the entire western part of Central Asia, just to make up for the lost mounts along the way, and to repair and adjust all the equipment and riding equipment.

The travel of large groups of men and horses will inevitably arouse the vigilance and vigilance of the communities in various places, and while Lao Luo was watching from the low slope, Gonzhas was leading the cavalry team against the local Samanid army.

"General, the leader of the Samanid army would like to see you." The messenger who came to report was the herald of the cavalry school, whose name was Meng Boyuan, and he was able to enter the direct team of the cavalry school, and he was the best among the former recruits.

"Do you know who they are? How do your lieutenants communicate with each other? "Lao Luo is not very worried about the Samanids, they have been broken by the betrayal of the Turks, at least for the moment they have not gathered the strength to resist, and Gonzhas has no problem dealing with these people.

"They claim to be the people of the garrison of Rai City, and the leader is called Saskin, Governor Gonzas is talking to him, and the other party does not dare to fight with us depending on the situation...... "Meng Boyuan can be arranged as a herald, naturally he is eloquent, and calling his boss the chief, it is due to Lao Luo's bad taste, you can't just call the official position of the boss in one mouthful, right? In terms of military etiquette, the WestPoint of the United States of America did clearly a better job than the CHN.

"Well, got it. You go and tell Gonzas and explain our purpose directly to them. If the other party is sincere, bring him directly to me. "It's not that Lao Luo deliberately grasps his identity, it's just that this kind of thing that may involve the armies of the two sides often means a contest of wills.

Meng Boyuan took the order, and Nuralman, who was beside Lao Luo, asked with some confusion: "General, the kings of the Samanids are gone, why do they still have their own army?" ”

"Because the Turks believed that even if the Samanids kept their army, it would not affect their rule, not to mention that the Turks could not allow the Samanid to keep a large army, at most a city guard of several thousand people, which was a banner used to win hearts and minds." Lao Luo Xin said that this is just the leading party of this era, and it is still the same after a thousand years.

At the foot of the low slope, a temporary city surrounded by the huge body of a van is taking shape......
