Section 43 Sending Off (II)
The crowd gathered outside the camp looked lively, and naturally attracted the attention of the people who were busy building the hut area, whether it was a man walking around with a plank or a woman finishing the final touches on the ground on the edge of the built hut.
A woman who was holding a wooden shovel to clean up the floating soil and sawdust around the wooden house helped her somewhat tired waist, looked at her companion who was cleaning the walls of the wooden house, and said in a very loud voice: "Lady of the Mi family, I heard that your eldest brother went to the military justice department?" Alas, it's still your eldest who has a scheming, he joined the cavalry academy as early as a few days when General Luo arrived in Xierfan, and now he is a captain, unlike my Erlang, his head is slow and he doesn't say anything, he is still a sullen one, and now he is a song chief! ”
"It's called a lady! I'm not one of those little mothers, you should call me sister-in-law of the Mi family! The woman who was called the lady of the Mi family was cleaning up the dirt on the wall, straightened up after listening to the greeting, stroked the hair scattered from the turban gap, and said in a crisp voice: "Your Erlang is also a diligent person, and he is willing to endure hardships, and he is not promoted sooner or later, unlike some lazy people, who are not good at anything, and still want to eat and drink well, how can there be many good things in the world!" ”
"Yes, sister-in-law of the Mi family......" The woman with a raised voice had brown hair, she deliberately pulled a long voice and shouted, and then muttered in Persian, "There are so many names of your Han family, I can't figure it out!" ”
The sister-in-law of the Qi family smiled slightly, "Guliana, you just like to be lazy in your mouth, in fact, you know it in your heart, right?" ”
"Hehe, it's still the sister-in-law of the Mi family, you know me!" Gu Liana is actually not very old, she looks like she is only about twenty years old, and the few freckles on her face when she laughs make her look very playful, "I ask you something, why do so many people go out of the camp in the morning?" Where are they going? ”
"They, it is said that they are going to Zhao Song, I don't know where Zhao Song is, I heard Da Lang say that it is more than a thousand miles to the east......" The sister-in-law of the Qi family looked up at the crowd flowing to the east, and said softly.
"Hmph, they must be some slackers who don't care about things, and I found out on the way here, every time I set up camp and rested, I always saw guys who didn't do anything empty-handed! Put them in the tribe of Sylvan, and the patriarch will drive them away too! Gulyana said with some indignation.
Diligent people are generally similar, and the sister-in-law of the Mi family also said: "Well, listen to my eldest man, it was General Luo who ordered everyone to stop and settle here in the future, and if you don't want to, you can continue to the east, and then you have to add a few more rules, and those who make mistakes will be severely punished." Presumably those people decided to leave because of this, but they ...... It is said that it will take thousands of miles to travel east to Zhao Song, and it will be the snow season soon, can they get there? ”
"It's still my sister-in-law who is kind-hearted!" Gu Liana praised it, and suddenly patted her cheek, "It's miserable, it's miserable, how can the elder general still have rules?!" ”
"Wouldn't it be nice to have more rules?" The sister-in-law of the Mi family couldn't help but smile and asked, the elder said that the title of the lord came from the women's camp, I don't know which spicy woman started, it has become an open secret among the women in the entire camp, "At least no one got sick because of drinking raw water along the way, and no one died because of an accident...... There are a hundred and ten women who have given birth on the road, and there is not a single accident, isn't it? ”
"Oh......" Gulyana indignantly shoveled the ground with a wooden shovel, then raised her head and retorted, "Well, you five-month-old woman is going to come out and get busy, rotten rules!" ”
"Huh!" The sister-in-law of the Qi family laughed, "Good girl, do you want to be lazy when you give birth to a baby after the wedding, but you are wrong?" ”
"I didn't have ...... Be careful that it's not good for the doll to laugh too much......" Gulyana, who was a little annoyed and angry, hurriedly changed the topic.
……
Unlike the women who had less knowledge, the chatter between Dou Miao, who was busy in the camp, and his son Dou Zucheng, who had just had free time, was much more extensive.
"Da Lang, you are now in the Judge Advocate General's Office, do you know how many people are leaving?"
"Grandpa, why do you ask this?"
"Nonsense! The old man knows that you have a lot of rules in the military justice department, but this matter is not a secret, and the old man should know a thing or two about the camp labor! When you enter the barracks to learn the rules, do you bully the old man for being ignorant? The upright Dou Mill's beard was cocked.
"This ......" Dou Zucheng grabbed the bracer of his arm with some embarrassment, pulled his father and walked to the side, and then said: "Grandpa, there are more than 3,620 people who have signed up to leave, and the distant relatives of the Pei family, Li Can of the Li family, and some old people who are eager to return to their ancestral land, have all agreed to the master......"
"More than three thousand six hundred and twenty ......" Dou Mo muttered repeatedly, and then sighed: "It's not a lot, the general ...... It's really courageous! ”
"Yes!" Dou Zu, who was quite proud, agreed, and said to the old father in a low voice: "According to the colleagues of the logistics baggage battalion, the general has ordered that all those who leave, except for children, be given two pack horses for them to travel east...... In addition to this, an additional seven-day food ration was provided per person...... Counting their original one, it's enough for them to travel a thousand miles......"
"Will the Lord...... Magnanimity and righteousness! Although there were some objections in his heart that the person who left could get such treatment, Dou Mo still couldn't help but praise it. These descendants of the Anxi Army have been staggering for three generations, and they have seen too many so-called loyalty and betrayal, and in the memory of the old Dou Miao, no clan leader will treat the abandoned people like this, even if they were still the same clansmen before.
The young Dou Zucheng did not have a good understanding of everything that the Lord would decide, and he was a little at a loss for his old father's praise, but all this did not prevent him from being loyal and ...... worshipped, he just responded to his father with some indifference: "Grandpa, magnanimity and benevolence on the grassland are not praise, strength and strength are!" ”
Old Dou Mo shook his head, stared at his son with a little cyan stubble on his face and said, "Da Lang, you still don't understand ......"
……
There are not one or two people who are as ignorant as Dou Zucheng, but no one can change Luo Kaixian's decision.
Since the moment he decided to allow people to leave and rush to the east with the caravan, Luo Kaixian had thought about everything for the people who were going to leave - the allocated horses or horses were for people to travel, and the reason why they were not war horses was just to avoid the prying eyes of thieves along the way, of course, even if they were only allocated horses, they were not comparable to ordinary Oriental bantams, and it was enough to flee with their owners in case of emergency.
As for the seven-day ration, it is even more calculated - less is not enough to eat, more is not easy to carry, you know, not just that person has such a cheating thing as carry-on space.
Helton, who was also a little incomprehensible, followed Luo Kaixian and rode out of the camp to the meeting point outside, and today was also the day when he led the team to follow the merchants to Zhao Song.
Looking back at the people who were following, Helton asked the general in front of half of the horse, "General, why...... So merciful to those who want to leave? ”
Benevolence was not a good word in the West at this time, but meant weakness and incompetence.
Luo Kaixian, who was riding a horse, looked left and right at the camp that began to have some order, while thinking about the various arrangements that needed to be made in the future, it was not difficult for him to use more of it, Heldon's words were not finished, he guessed the following, and after Helton, who was dressed as a merchant, said, he responded slowly: "The rulers of Rome like to conquer the bodies of all people with their strength, whether they are external or internal, while the Orientals like to buy the souls of people with mercy and mercy, and the same is true whether it is external or internal enemies, The question of who is better is difficult to say. For me, there were hundreds of thousands of horses and tens of thousands of camels in the camp, and it was nothing to weed out a few for those who left, and as for a little food, it was nothing, but ...... To those who have departed, who have taken me and eaten mine, to whom shall their hearts belong? ”
In order to take care of Helton's train of thought, Luo Kaixian chose to speak softly in Latin, which he was not very proficient in, and the words were very long, and Heldon could understand, but the final rhetorical question made him unable to answer.
"Think about it seriously, don't worry, wait for one day you can figure it out, Helton, you will have the wisdom of the Oriental." Turning his head to look at Helton, Luo Kaixian didn't want to explain anything, just casually threw a sentence and patted the duke's neck, who began to walk forward quickly.
THE NAME DUKE (DUKE) IS VERY SUITABLE FOR THE HORSE UNDER LUO KAIXIAN, AT LEAST THE SOLDIERS FROM LATER GENERATIONS THINK SO, THE GOLD AND WHITE FUR, WITH THE TALL BODY OF THE AKHAL-TEKE HORSE LOOKS EXTRAORDINARILY NOBLE AND GORGEOUS, COUPLED WITH THE SADDLE INLAID WITH PRECIOUS STONES AND GOLD THREADS THAT LUO SOMEONE PICKED FROM THE STABLE IN THE CITY OF HERAT, THERE IS AN INCOMPARABLE GRACE, THIS NOBILITY AND GRACE IS REFLECTED WITH THE TALL LUO SOMEONE WEARING A WELL-SEWN HOOD, BY THE SUN THAT BEGAN TO HANG HIGH IN THE SKY, In the eyes of everyone who is leaving, it has become an indescribable and unforgettable Huihong.
The owner of the Huihong image sat on the back of the same tall and sturdy mount, and said loudly: "Everyone, go thousands of miles, wind and snow, and now everyone has their own ambitions, Shu Luo can no longer escort you forward, only with horses and food as a Cheng Yi, I wish you all an early arrival in Zhao Song, a safe journey!" ”
There weren't too many words, Luo Kaixian just sat on the back of the horse briefly and said a few words to everyone, and then there were no more words.
As for the more than 5,000 people present, there were a group of merchants led by Nouak, an entourage led by Helton, and more than 3,000 people who left with less order, they were all thinking about what to evaluate, and Luo didn't care at all.
The people and things that should be explained or told have already been arranged, irrelevant people, etc., talking too much, it is a waste of spirit, only more than 3,000 people can leave, but what is left is the real vast majority, Luo Kaixian is already satisfied, at least he thinks that what he has done is not wrong, trying to make everyone follow him and identify with him, that is a luxury.
……
On the twenty-eighth day of September in the late autumn of the third year of Zhao Song Jingde, outside the rough camp in Lingzhou, Hexi, the eastbound camp experienced a peaceful split, and more than 3,000 descendants of the Tang Anxi Army began to follow the Central Asian merchants who had traveled all the way to Zhao and Song after trekking tens of thousands of miles, and they would start from Lingzhou along the Lingzhou River Baima River (1) all the way to the east and south, and first arrive at Huanzhou (2), Gyeongju (3), and finally to the area controlled by the Yongxing army of Zhao Song in Xianyang. And most of them stayed in Lingzhou, a wild place in the eyes of Dr. Zhao Songshi.
Who is virtuous and who is stupid, it is really not so easy to see clearly, whether ancient or modern.

P.S. This book should not be called a cool article, Luo Kaixian is a strong and ruthless pig's foot is bound to have no so-called "cool" feeling, what is there to be cool about bullying and fighting the five scum? In the same way, under the influence of violence, wealth is nothing more than a thing that can be obtained at your fingertips...... If you talk about the so-called cool point, the conflict between the martial arts and the Confucian scholars, the collision of the Eastern tribes and the barbarian tribes and the Central Asian tribes may be called the cool point, but the words are still needed to touch a little bit, and the foreshadowing is still being paved, thank you.
Thank you for the reward of the book friends "Han Xin Forever", "Five Emperors of Khan", "Book Friends 150110205707396" and "KGB136"!
