Dealing with Soratinok, Lao Luo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he was not afraid of anyone fighting on the other side, but he was a little jealous of this fat fox, after all, as the saying goes, a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, who knows what the old guy has left? What's more, Lao Luo did not regard this city as his long-term foothold, and wasting effort here was just a waste of time.

To tell the truth, when Soratinok said to send a thousand Thracians, Lao Luo was indeed a little tempted, after all, in this era, a thousand strong soldiers can basically become the capital of life, not to mention that according to records, Thracians are brave and good at fighting, and they were the best soldiers in the Roman Empire, and the legend of Spartacus in later generations is a Thracian.

And with such a group of warriors, as long as Lao Luo wants to, he can establish a territory of his own in this land of southern Europe. Of course, it's just to think about it, in this place where there is no sense of belonging, but also to think about the war-torn peoples in the eastern land, the people who have suffered a lot, and the civilization that is about to be broken, Lao Luo can't calm down in his heart, and there is always a voice telling him to go back, even if there must be a lot of troubles and bumps on the road.

Came to the training ground, looking at Naga, who was exercising strength on the edge of the field, Mnaqi, Cui Eighteen, who practiced swordsmanship, and La**man, as well as the four retinues of Li Zhan and Zhang Lu, who were newly joined, it is said that the names are Pei Hong, Zhang Lishan, Li Bo and An Sishun, An Sishun should be a descendant of the original Zhaowu Jiu, it can be clearly seen that there is Central Asian blood, Lao Luo smiled with some relief, after all, he is not alone, without his former teammates, he can train assistants.

As for Li Zhan and Zhang Lu, Lao Luo will find an opportunity to talk to them in detail, and sooner or later he will become his helper. Li Ji, Lao Luo does not rule out having a good impression of her, but he doesn't know if he should have a relationship, because of the strangeness of coming to this era, he always feels that he is not a long-term guest in this world.

The height of the two black boys, Naga and Mnaqi, is obviously very dominant, Naga's height is about one meter nine, Mnaqi is about the same, but he is thin, and the other six people, including the four new additions, are all slightly shorter and also very strong, and the size of Cui 18 and La**man is still a little worse, of course, after all, they are still underage, and there should be a trend of growing taller.

"Naga, Mnaki, stop for a moment, come over here." Lao Luo stood on the edge of the field and greeted the two black boys.

Just as Naga put down the stone barbell in his hand, and Mnachi kept chopping the stump with a knife, the two of them hurriedly stopped what they were doing, and ran over with sweat, "Boss, what's the matter?" ”

"I've just decided on one thing with Soratinok, and that's what you know, the fat furrier," Lao Luo threw a sackcloth towel to each of them, telling them to wipe the sweat off their bodies, "I've booked a hundred slaves with him, and I'll go back to Mnachi and Mesoder to discuss how to stay and logistics, and Naga will take care of the team." ”

"Boss, a hundred people, it is estimated that the room for accommodation may not be enough, and the gold coins of the other day are running out." Before he went to Constantinople, he had left some money for Mnachy's daily expenses, and of course it was the fortune of the ghost of the dead when he was in Alexandria.

"Well, if the money is not enough, I will give it to you later, as for the house is not enough, go and discuss with Max Od and rent the house next to it." Lao Luo is too lazy to deal with these trivial matters, and Mnachi has a talent for this, so he just has a good time exercising.

"Boss, I don't know if I can do it, the slaves you want must not be ordinary......" Naga wiped the sweat from his head and asked Lao Luo with a little weakness.

"How can it not be? Since you started to follow me, the training you have given you is not accessible to ordinary people," Lao Luo looked at Naga's embarrassed expression and was a little amused, so he had to enlighten him, "I forgot that last time on the boat on the coast of Crete, you knocked over several people with a hammer, so you could do it when you were in the tribe?" ”

Naga is not a stupid person, he quickly figured it out, yes, he has been out of the tribe for almost a year, and he is improving every day, and he used to be able to deal with two or three warriors, and now the average twenty or thirty is not a problem. Naga grinned and said to Lao Luo: "Okay, I'll listen to the boss and promise to take care of them." ”

Lao Luo patted them on the shoulder, and said with a little seriousness: "The leisurely days are coming to an end, and I will soon be busy, I have confidence in the two of you." Hurry up and exercise, take care of Eighteen and Nuralman, and go back to training. ”

After arranging this matter, Lao Luo turned around and went to find Li Zhan and Zhang Lu, Li Zhan was fine, holding a parchment book and reading it with relish, while Zhang Lu was discussing something with Al Hesian in a heated manner. Old Luo simply didn't bother Zhang Lu, and didn't pay attention to what they said, and directly called Li Zhan to another empty room, where he was going to have a detailed discussion with Li Zhan.

Li Zhan has long been prepared for this exchange, after all, he is also well-informed, although he may not be able to say that he is scheming, but he is confident that he still has his own grasp of people, otherwise he would not have only seen Lao Luo in Constantinople, so he followed over to Athens, "I guess Luo Saburo, you should also come to me." ”

"Uncle Zhan is right, it should have been explained in Constantinople first," Lao Luo didn't say clichés, Li Zhan in front of him couldn't be a simple person, he could become the leader of thousands of craftsmen in the place of the Abbasids, and he was destined not to be an embroidered pillow, "It's just that things happened over there, and time was a little tighter, how inconvenient it was on the way......"

"San Lang, you don't have to be polite, the so-called king is not secret, he will lose his minister, if he is not secret, he will be **, and if he is not secret, he will be harmed." Li Zhan directly quoted an ancient saying to explain things, "The reason is very clear, don't say unnecessary words." If I hadn't been optimistic about you, I wouldn't have boarded a ship in Constantinople. ”

"Uncle Zhan is right, but as a leader, are you a little hasty in deciding to follow people to a strange place based on your niece's words?" Lao Luo was very grateful to his father for the persecution of his childhood at this time, it was not useless to read so many ancient books, at least now he can understand what Li Zhan said. However, he still felt that the other party was not too easy to trust people, after all, he followed Lao Luo to Athens just by contacting him, which was a bit unbelievable, he didn't feel that he had any domineering spirit.

"Hehe, Siniang is not simple," Li Zhan said with a smile, "It's not that I'm hasty, Siniang has had a strange intuition about danger since she was a child, so this time we will take her with us." And Siniang said that you are a very mysterious person, but there is no danger to us, so you know, I made a risky decision, and now it seems that there is no mistake. ”

"No wonder, I said, why did we just say a few words at the restaurant, and you decided to come with me." Lao Luo also knows that some people's intuition is very powerful, especially those who have rolled on the battlefield, he himself has similar abilities, otherwise he would not have been in the army for so many years and has never been fatally injured. "Well, let's not talk about that. I want to ask Uncle Zhan if he has any specific plans for returning to the Central Plains? What's the situation like now? ”

"This is complicated to say, the people in the artisan camp are very mixed, and the total population related to us is about 30,000 people, including women and children. There are not only the Tang people over there, but also the Great Qin people here, the barbarians in the north, and many Turkic people mixed in the middle, as well as the descendants of Zhaowu Jiu, you saw the guard I brought An Sishun, right? Li Zhan paused, looked at Lao Luo's reaction, and then said: "An Sishun is the descendant of the surname Zhaowu Jiu, but he is not from Lite, and he has nothing to do with An Lushan in the Xuanzong period. ”

"Well, I guessed, looking at An Sishun's appearance, he shouldn't be a Tang person. But what happened to the people surnamed Zhaowu Jiu now? What does it have to do with us? Lao Luo couldn't help asking.

It is said that the war in the Central Plains was fierce, and then most of them began to move westward, and the Abbasids took advantage of the fire to steal and captured a lot of people with the surname Zhaowujiu, and there were many in the artisan camp. Oh, by the way, everyone on the Western Qin side calls them Oghuz. Li Zhan recalled for a while and said roughly.

Lao Luo can figure out some of the main contexts, so what Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and other countries in later generations are the descendants of the Zhaowu Jiu, and Turkey is the descendants of the Turks. Needless to say, the Persians were in a period of decline at this time, the light of Darius could no longer shine on them, the influence of Cyrus was not so lasting, and the Persian religion was being fully invaded by Islam.

If you guess correctly, the descendants of the Tang craftsman battalion in this era will eventually be annihilated in the wasteland of Central Asia, after all, there are records of the battle of Hengros in the history books of later generations, but there is no record of the capture of the Tang people later, Lao Luo thought of this, and couldn't help asking: "In the war of Hengros back then, didn't the Tang Dynasty think about redeeming your ancestors?" ”

"Hmph, Datang, the emperor of Datang at that time was a bastard," Li Zhan, a descendant of the Li Tang royal family, said with a complicated expression, "Li Longji is a guy who is very happy, and he always wants to surpass His Majesty Taizong, so Gao Xianzhi had the courage to open the gap privately, and the generals above at that time desperately wanted to go to war for military merits, and they didn't care about the life or death of the soldiers." ”

"Hehe," Lao Luo couldn't help but smile bitterly, which era and country in world history was not like this,

Politicians want achievements, generals want military exploits, people have to pay taxes, and soldiers have to work hard. If there is a good system, or some compensation can be given to the people at the bottom, if not, then the people at the bottom are no different from slaves.
