The streets are built with sassy straw, and twilight is approaching.

Ma Lan and several Anxi men who had escaped slavery sat under the open-air shed, with the fine wine produced by Sa Mojian in front of them.

Sa Mojian is rich in a variety of fruits, especially apples and grapes. The taste of this wine is very good, even better than that of the Shule Ladies Shop. However, except for Ma Ling, the others were all drunk and tasteless.

It's no wonder that although they are all good men who draw intestines and splash blood, they never frown on the battlefield, but now that they are in an enemy country after all, it naturally takes extraordinary courage to be able to deal with them calmly like Ma Luan.

knows his own affairs, although Ma Lan is also bent on returning to Anxi alive, but after all, he has just died once, and after being a human being in two lives, this matter of life and death is naturally lightened.

And these Anxi men are different from him, they all have their own concerns.

In the prosperous era, all countries came to the dynasty, and under the prosperity, there was also a deep crisis. The severity of land annexation has completely collapsed the military system of the foundation of the Tang Dynasty. Since Prime Minister Zhang Shuo asked for recruitment, the Anxi soldiers are no longer the three-year rounds of Guanzhong government soldiers, but the recruits who are permanently stationed in the border fortress.

These Anxi men are all dragging their families, their families are all in Anxi, and the seven-foot-tall men are all the pillars of the family. Now that they are in an enemy country, the fate of the children in the family is their biggest concern.

……

"Eat! All-you-can-eat! ”

Ma Lan laughed, ignoring these heavy-looking guys, the horizontal knife was as light as a piece of paper in his hand, cutting the whole sheep on the case into large pieces, while eating it in a big gulp, while looking at the pedestrians on the street.

It is worthy of being an important town on the middle road of the Silk Road, and after a short time, Ma Lu saw the Great Cannibals, the Persians, the Bahans, the Tibetans, the Sogdians, the Turkic war slaves, and even a few people who gave pleasure.

The rebellion of the white-clothed food remnants that were hunted and drunk a few years ago also affected the nearby Sa Mojian. Riding on the majesty of the great victory in the Battle of Talas, these days and . Posilin opened a killing spree in Sa Mojian, killing the remnants of the Umayyad with their heads rolling. Today's Sa Mojian is quite calm on the surface, but there is also an undercurrent surging underneath, and various forces have their own thoughts.

This guy who is also called Ma Lan is not famous now, but in the original history, he was a tough guy who dared to fight tens of thousands of Heshuo rebels with five hundred horsemen, and his strength was amazing, and his appetite was also not small. It has been more than a month since the Battle of Talas, and Ma Lu has completely adapted to this body, and he has no feeling at all after a few catties of mutton.

Looking at the sad looks of several Anxi men, Ma Lan smiled, threw down the horizontal knife in his hand and said, "How is it?" Guys, can you still hold the Unknown Horizontal Knife? ”

"General Ma, what do you mean-" Du Huan's eyes flashed, and he took the horizontal knife from Ma Lan's hand.

"It's better to die in the sand than to die in the sand for the rest of your life! You really want to stay here for the rest of your life. Ma Ling smiled and drank another half bowl of amber wine.

The little Sogdian beauty with clear and clean eyes next to her grinned toothy, and obediently helped Ma Lu fill the wine bowl.

Du Huan's face changed slightly, and he glanced at the Sogdian girl beside Ma Lan. Ma Lan smiled and said, "It's okay, she doesn't understand." ”

He was badly wounded under the city of Talas, and he didn't know how he got to the city. Thanks to the careful care of this Sogdian girl, she would not have recovered so quickly. Now, although it is not considered to have regained all its strength, there is no problem in getting on the horse and carrying a gun.

His life can be said to have been saved by this Sogdian girl, who has been together for more than a month, and knows this clear-eyed girl very well. If it weren't for the fact that she didn't understand the official language of the Central Plains, she wouldn't have said this in front of her.

Da Shi and Da Tang have just experienced a bloody battle, several Tang people appeared on the streets of Samojian, more eye-catching than a person who gave Leye, and the reason why they came out to bring this girl was to save unnecessary trouble, and they didn't always have to explain their status as free people to the black-clothed Da Shi soldiers on patrol.

It's good if you don't understand, and several Anxi men breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"General! Do what you say, and we'll all listen to you. A rough man took the horizontal knife from Du Huan's hand, and gently threw it twice in his hand, and the urn sound was authentic.

This guy's name is Han Wu, and he and his eldest brother Han Wen are both Mo swordsmen, and there are dozens of big cannibals killed in the Talas River, and they were finally captured because of exhaustion.

His eldest brother Han Wen had already died under the city of Talas, and Han Wu naturally hated the great cannibals and the Sogdians who helped the great cannibals, and he didn't have a good face for a stunning Sogdian beauty like Kang Lin'er.

"In a word, kill back!" Ma Xuan said, "If General Gao doesn't take us back, we'll go back by ourselves!" If you have a life, you will see your grandmother alive and die on the road, then you will be considered unlucky! ”

"Good!" Several Anxi men agreed in unison, and their voices couldn't help but be louder, and a group of black-clothed soldiers who passed by quickly walked over.

Han Wu clutched the horizontal knife tightly, ready to slash out at any moment. Ma Lan smiled and signaled him to be calm. The little Sogdian beauty stood up, said a few quick words to the soldier at the head, and threw a small money bag over.

Weighing the weight of the Umayyad silver coins in the money bag, the black-clothed soldier's face became much kinder, and he nodded to the little Sogdian beauty, and then walked away quickly.

"She said we were all her friends, not slaves." Du Huandao, with a hint of pride on his face.

Ma Lan nodded. The black-clothed soldiers are mainly descendants of Persia, Kang Lin'er just spoke Persian, and Du Huan had written "Jing Xingji" in the original history, so he naturally knew these languages.

Of course, Ma Lan himself can understand these words, but this is a secret. In the Anxi army, there are very few people who understand Persian and the language of the big food, and the original Ma Lu is definitely not among them.

"General, can you tell us about your plan?" After all, Du Huan is a child of a family, so he should be more thoughtful, "This time, we and the general will go west, it will be extremely difficult to travel from Anxi to Shiguo, and Shiguo will be hundreds of miles from this Kangguo, and now I am very far away from Anxi, and it is not easy to escape back!" In an enemy country, there are enemies on all sides, and you have to be cautious in every move. ”

"Flee back? Why flee back? Ma Lan smiled and said, "Du Huan, I said it very clearly, we are going to kill back!" ”

"Kill back!" Du Huan was shocked.

"It's to kill back!" Ma Lan nodded and said, "Bo Xilin's eyes are empty, and there are five thousand sons of my Han family in the city of Sa Mojian!" This is the land of the west, and 5,000 people are enough to destroy the country! The big cannibal is so arrogant, he must pay the price for it! ”

"If this is the case, this class will also be able to do the work of Chen Tang!" Du Huan, the son of the family, turned red and stood up suddenly, "General, tell me about your plan!" How are we going to do it! ”

At this time, he forgot about the bloody battle under the city of Talas, and was bent on establishing an immortal career.

Several Anxi veterans did not speak, but they were all gearing up, extremely excited. The Sogdian beauties looked at the few people curiously, and their soft and bright eyes fell on Ma Lan's body.

……

Knowing Ma Lan's plan, the Anxi men naturally had a much happier mind, and the big bowl of grape wine poured into their mouths was like drinking water.

Du Huan has been temporarily appointed by Ma Lan to join the army, and the heavy responsibility is on his shoulders, and he has become much more stable in an instant, not dripping from alcohol, but there is already drunkness in his eyes.

What a great achievement!

Ma Lan drank an astonishing amount of wine, he had already drunk a few jars, his eyes were still bright, and the eyes of the little Sogdian beauty were even more admirable, and his pool-like eyes stared at Ma Lan and could not be removed.

Ma Lan didn't have a detailed plan right now, but he was still somewhat sure. All he could rely on was the knowledge in his head.

The topography of the Land in the River has not changed much after a thousand years, and for the grasp of the situation in the Land of the River, he obviously has a greater advantage than these people in the game after a thousand years.

Combine. The Caliph had already been suspicious of the Caliph, and the White-clothed Eaters had lost their original position. Posilin held a grudge. The Sogdians now have more than 10,000 Tang prisoners of war and more Turkic prisoners of war......

In such a situation, as long as the planning is right, it should not be difficult to return to Anxi.

This knowledge from a thousand years later, he could not tell anyone.

Think of it as a game, Ma said to himself.

In his previous life, he did nothing, and he had nothing to love in his life, but now that he thinks back, the jump on the top of the cliff is so ridiculous.

……

Including Du Huan, there were a total of nine Anxi men who appeared on the streets of Samojian with Ma Lan. Among the 60 people in the workshop, these people are the backbone carefully selected by Ma Lan. This time, I brought them out, firstly, to regain their courage, and secondly, to inform everyone of their plans and see how they reacted.

According to Ma Luan's plan, if any of them showed hesitation, they would be killed with a knife after they returned. The stakes are high, and naturally we must not be careless.

Fortunately, these Anxi men are all good-looking, even Du Huan's family is no exception.

The group was full of wine and food, and the sassy construction in the twilight swaggered through the market, which naturally attracted everyone's attention.

The Sogdian beauty Kang Lin'er is quite famous here, and there is no trouble with her along the way.

"General, I'm afraid we'll ...... if we swagger like this," Du Huan worried.

Ma Lan smiled: "It's okay! We're going to be here to get these people into our presence. If the appearance of a Tang person arouses alarm, then how can it be done? After a few days, when we appear on the street and no one cares, it's time for us to launch! ”

The group wandered around the small half of the sassy building, and it was indispensable to be pointed at on the road. Everyone knew Ma Lan's plan, and they didn't have any scruples, being in an enemy country was as natural as being in Anxi.

Kang Lin'er had a lot of Dirkhan silver coins on his body, and Ma Lan did not hesitate to spend it, and after a while, everyone had a horizontal knife in his hand, and Ma Lin even had two pure Damascus scimitars on his body.

Already a free man, carrying a weapon is allowed. The rule of the Great Cannibals in the river was more extensive, and the able-bodied adult men only had to pay the religious tax on time, and the rest was ignored, and the old and weak women and children did not have to pay the religious tax.

Of course, you don't have to pay taxes if you become a parishioner, but the cannibals don't want too many people to become parishioners, and then the finances will collapse.

Passing by the women's shop, the beautiful Sogdian woman watched the crowd eat and laugh at first, and then beckoned everyone to enter. The others ignored it, except for Han Wu, the Mo swordsman, who asked Ma Lan for a bag of silver coins and walked in.

Seeing this guy's menacing appearance, Ma Ling shook his head, that Sogdian woman really didn't know whether to live or die, Han Wu hated the Sogdians very much, this was treating her as the enemy who killed his eldest brother, this Sogdian dancer must be unlucky.
