For merchants and trades, Lao Luo is far less focused and patient on the affairs of the army, in his opinion, the so-called trade, can take what they need and both parties think that it is almost enough, it is really not worth wasting time entanglement for sporadic interests.

So seeing that there was nothing to do with the battle, he directly ordered someone to call Helton and Li Xuan, and this kind of cross-industry thing should be left to more professional people to complete.

Compared with the two officials, Lao Luo was more interested in this Saskine, this guy talked to Gonzas and said that he would meet him, but after meeting, he let the two officials talk, but he himself was like a stupid bird next to him without saying a word, it was really strange about the primary and secondary relationship between them.

"Sassetin? You are the commander of the city guard of Rai City, why didn't you speak? Simply waiting for Helton and Li Xuan to arrive, Lao Luo directly found the Iranian soldier wrapped in a black turban.

The history of this ethnic group in Iran is also very sad, they used to be a multilingual cultural group. In antiquity, the Assyrians who believed in force recognized their rule on the plateau (the Iranian plateau), and in the east, when the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, under the leadership of Cyrus II and Darius I, the Iranians ruled a vast area of Central and Western Asia, and even expanded to the Ganges Valley in the south, which is the origin of the Achaemenid dynasty, and her capital was called Persepolis.

The Romans called the plateau ethnic group Persians according to the name of the capital, and this title continued to later generations, that is, later generations always did not understand the origin of the difference between the two words.

A hundred years before the Qin kingdom in the East began preparations to unify the East, Alexander the Great, king of Macedon, led an army to conquer Persepolis and the Achaemenid dynasty fell.

Alexander the Great soon after overthrowing the Achaemenid dynasty, known as the First Persian Empire, died of illness. The loss of control of the Iranians did not reunite quickly and stood on their feet, but instead fell into endless wars, and the Sassanid Dynasty was the Iranian regime of this period. At a time when the Sassanid Empire and Byzantium in the West were at war and severely weakened, the Arabs rose up, and the Arabs set foot on the plateau with their most powerful weapon, religion.

Until the later generations known to Lao Luo, the Iranians never picked up their original spiritual power.

Lao Luo arrived at this land with the Tang battalion, after the fall of the Samanid dynasty, a puppet dynasty supported by the Arabs, and before the full-scale westward invasion of the Turkmens.

Being looked at by the tall old Luo with scrutinizing eyes, of course Saskin felt very uncomfortable, "General Luo, it's not that I don't speak, but I don't know what to say, Bal Ami's words are outstanding, so naturally he is the best to speak." ”

Lao Luo felt that his temper was direct enough, and he dared to love this more directly, why didn't he find out that Iranians had such characteristics in later generations? "General Saskin is direct enough! Soldiers, that's how it should be, we're not politicians who can talk with their eyes closed. ”

is also a plateau person, the Iranian is not as plateau red as the Tibetan face, but under Lao Luo's straightforward praise, it can still be seen that the face of the straight-tempered Iranian general quickly became rosy.

"It's true that I don't speak with my mouth, but the tools of a soldier to speak are fists and scimitars. We can't break your camp, and we can't win your warriors, so we can only shut up. It wasn't that Saskin blushed because he was shy, but because he was eager to blush, and he probably felt that Lao Luo looked down on him.

"Well said! A soldier should use his fists and scimitars to speak, and when he defends his people, his mouth and tongue are of no use! Lao Luo did not look down on people because the other party admitted that his combat power was inferior to his own, but slapped his hands twice because of the other party's words, "However, why didn't you test it and come to the judgment of our combat power?" ”

"Your cavalry should have been trained for a long time, not many of our warriors are willing to fight, and they haven't trained and fought for a long time, and your camp is formed quickly and well, not to mention that thing!" Speaking of fighting, the Saskin spoke much better, summing up several pros and cons before pointing to the hot air balloon floating in the middle of the camp.

It seems that this general is indeed a qualified general, and he was not confused by what he didn't understand, and he discovered the purpose of observing balloons at first sight, Lao Luo quickly judged, and when he turned around, he had to pay attention to the secrecy of these hot air balloons, at least it was necessary to prohibit outsiders from entering the camp.

The two of them chatted happily here, looking at each other, and the people next to them were a little impatient, especially the two Iranian officials, who were desperately giving Sastin a look, and the situation did not improve until Helton and Li Xuan came over with a few people in charge of internal affairs.

It's not interesting to talk any further, Lao Luo remembered that there was a general named Saskin here, and he handed over the people directly to Helton and Li Xuan and others, and Lao Luo didn't care anymore, they knew better than others about things like buying supplies and adding horses, and it was much safer to deal with them than Lao Luo.

Instructed Gonzhas to send someone to take care of everyone's safety, and Lao Luo went directly back to the camp.

After almost a month of travel, all the soldiers have made very significant progress. How else to say that actual combat is the best way to train soldiers, although the soldiers who were originally in charge of guarding along the way have not experienced any battles, but they have been extremely familiar with the operation of camping.

Although there was only one four-day camp in Ardabil, the exercise for the short camp did not stop on the way, knowing that there were tens of thousands of accompanying family members in the team, and the slightest careless negligence could bring about the loss of life.

So the order given to everyone along the way is that complaining can be had, but things must be done, otherwise the whip will serve.

There is no military stick, because you can no longer ride a horse after receiving a military stick, the pain caused by the whip made of Piso and the horse's mane and horsetail can be unforgettable, and the whip wound is easy to apply wound medicine, unlike the military stick is easy to make people hurt the muscles and bones, but the pain and scars are difficult to eliminate.

With such a thing as the head of military law, the name of Siddür Nord can be regarded as spreading everywhere, this old-fashioned Norman is not only the military judge of the cavalry school, but also the chief disciplinary officer of the entire Eastward return team, and the soldiers are afraid of this impersonal guy, because Sidürk Nord has dark brown hair and blue eyes, so he has a nickname of the blue-eyed devil. The best antidote to disobedient children in the family is the name of Siddür Nord, which has better deterrent power than Stan, who is as tall as a giant.

The punishment was decided after Ardabil, and Lao Luo and Cheng Shouru had their first quarrel, and the punishment of the soldiers in the Tang battalion was still based on military sticks according to the old practice, and the execution was not rigorous. In the end, Cheng Shouru, who couldn't say Lao Luo, had no choice but to follow Lao Luo's proposition, and from the beginning of the trial, the efficiency was greatly improved after only a few days.

How can it not be promoted, on the first day of the trial, there were hundreds of people collectively whipped, the second day it was two or three hundred, and on the third day it began to decrease suddenly, every soldier knew that the whip of the military judge was not a joke, after being whipped, the military doctor had to clean the wound with salt water, and no matter how hard the man was, he would grin in pain, who could stand this double punishment?

Feeling that the soldiers have improved so much under the effect of the whip, Lao Luo has been waiting for him to greet him with a joking greeting as long as he sees Cheng Shouru every day recently.

No, the camp was set up, Lao Luo entered the camp and drove the guards away, and when he turned around, he saw the man on the door panel who was patrolling, "Hey, Lao Cheng, how many people will be whipped today?" Do you want to give it a go (the Tang Dynasty saying of betting, called Guan Pu in the Song Dynasty)? ”

"I said big Luo, you can't think of something good?" Cheng Shouru was full of depression, recently Lao Luo always teased him at every turn, which made him anxious, who told his subordinate Sima that he didn't manage military discipline, and on the first day, Jun Sima was tied to a tree and whipped.

Lao Luo had a teasing expression on his face, "No way, I've been very tired of thinking about walking all day lately, and with such a little fun, you are still complaining." ”

"Yes, big man, I can't talk about you. Aren't you afraid that the soldiers will see you now? After the camp was settled, Cheng Shouru also breathed a rare sigh of relief, after nearly a month of running, the iron man was unbearable, and he didn't get a break at all in the middle of the repair in Ardabil.

"What is there to worry about, when it should be severe, don't worry about them not obeying military orders." Lao Luo sat on the carpet in the tent, and the weather in Central Asia on dog days was only slightly cooler in the evening.

Cheng Shouru showed an expression of admiration, the person in front of him couldn't help but admire, although he had a tender face and was cold all day long, but what he did was really speechless, "I only recently heard the old man say, saying that it is in your hometown of Suizhou, there are always some cold-faced men like you, at that time, many Mo sword soldiers were Suizhou people, and Suizhou people were really good men during the war." ”

"Yes, I also heard my father tell me about it." Lao Luo couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic for the short time in his hometown in the past, but it was not appropriate to say much at this time, so he had to pass by casually.

"It is said that in the north of Suizhou is a place called Yinzhou, where there are always some beautiful women, and all men in Hexi dream of marrying a lady from Yinzhou as an aunt." Cheng Shouru's tone when he said this was full of yearning, but his expression was a little cheap, which made people want to step on it.

Lao Luo looked at the man's expression on the door panel and was angry and funny, and the man who dared to love at this time was also the same virtue, "Speaking of marrying my mother-in-law, most of the soldiers in my cavalry school are lonely men, and the white-skinned men who are with me are also going to marry their mother-in-law, and they will inevitably have to plan for them in the future." ”

"Oh, it seems that the people who follow Luo Dazi are really blessed, and you even have to help them plan for marrying your aunt?" Cheng Shouru inevitably had some doubts when he was joking.

"Since they are fighting with me, they are my siblings, how can I not think about them?" Lao Luo's tone became solemn as he spoke, "Ask Brother Cheng something, and ask Brother Cheng to answer truthfully." ”

Cheng Shouru saw Lao Luo's expression, and suddenly became serious, every time the elder in front of him showed such an expression, there would always be something that needed to be more serious, what would it be this time?
