According to the time, General Gao should have received the holy decree to enter the court, I don't know if it is on the road.

In the ten years of Tianbao, it was not only General Gao who lost the battle among the generals of Biansaihu, but also An Lushan. In the battle of An Lushan Tianmen, 100,000 people were wiped out, and the defeat was worse than that of the tall general.

In the original history, Gao Xianzhi was not blamed too much by the Son of Heaven after entering the court, and it was still a high-ranking official who had to be a horse to ride. After the defeat of An Lushan Tianmen, he still held the three towns of Jieheshuo and held a high position.

At this time, the government was firmly controlled by Li Linfu. It is Li Linfu who proposed to reuse General Hu, and it is not surprising that such a situation has occurred. The reason why the bigwigs in the court and China were patient was because there were almost no available among the Han generals except for one Wang Zhonghei.

General Gao's western expedition failed, but he returned safely with thousands of Han family children, and the heads of General Dashi and the marshal also returned. This kind of credit is enough to impress the bigwigs in the DPRK and China.

In addition to Li Linfu, the important ministers of the DPRK and China have always been suspicious of reusing Hu generals. Now that he has returned with such merits, these important ministers must be happy.

……

It was icy and snowy, the road was difficult to walk, and it took more than ten days to go down to Shule from the Green Ridge to Shule. The army had adapted to the cold climate of the Green Mountains, so there were no more casualties along the way.

Since the occupation of Broken Leaf Town by the Turks, the northern Silk Road was cut off, and the position of Shule Town became more important, and the number of military garrisons increased day by day. In the battle of Talas, the garrison of Shule Town also went with the army in large numbers, and after the news of the defeat came, the military tuns around the country did not know how many households were wearing linen and wearing filial piety, and there was a cry.

A few days ago, Tian Mingyuan and the others had already arrived here first, and according to Ma Luan's order, they sent the wealth of the war dead to their families. The soldiers in the vanguard who belonged to the various military camps in Shule Town were also scattered and returned home. At this time, the news that Ma Lan had returned safely with thousands of Han family sons and daughters could no longer be hidden.

Of course, there is no need to hide it at this time.

The envoy of Shule sent an envoy overnight to deliver the great news of the day to Anxi (Qiuzi). The Han people in the military camps all over the country were extremely excited, and some people in the family who did not come back with General Gao were excited and worried, and they didn't know if there were any relatives of their own who came back this time.

The name Ma Lan has become extremely loud in the vicinity of Shule, and it is not much better than that of the tall general. In the eyes of these military Han people, it is not important to kill the general and marshal of the great cannibal, it is important to return safely with their relatives.

The small city of Shule became extremely lively, and Han people continued to pour in from all over the military camps, and those with money lived in the city, and those who had no money set up tents directly outside the city, waiting for the return of the army.

When he saw Shule City again, Ma Lan also saw the crowd outside the city. The rangers sent by the Shule town guard had already brought back the news of the return of the army, and the people were anxiously waiting. Seeing the appearance of the army, cheers and cries rang out, and many people rushed in the direction of the army.

The subordinates of the town guard desperately tried to maintain order, but they couldn't. Ma Lan gave an order, and the athletes stationed in Qiuzi and Yanqi towns before the war stopped, and the soldiers stationed in Shule Town urged their horses to slowly meet them.

The crowd poured into the army, and the cavalry was suddenly unable to advance. Young or old figures stumbled and ran through the cavalry, looking for their loved ones.

"Ahh

"Daddy!"

"Big brother!"

“……”

From time to time, people found their relatives and shouted chaotically after seeing each other, and the soldiers and their families were in tears. More people are looking hard in the crowd, hoping to find their loved ones.

Ma Lan looked at this scene, and the corners of his eyes were also sour. This time, the hard work is worth it after all. Even if you don't get the slightest credit, it's worth it for these people who are looking forward to the door.

Naturally, he was extremely happy to find his relatives, and went to his tent by the road to talk. The people who didn't find their own family became more and more panicked, and the shouting became louder.

After a little commotion for half an hour, more than 1,000 Han soldiers and soldiers in Shule Town found their relatives. The silk silk on the back of the gold and silver coins in his arms was taken out and put into the hands of his relatives. At this time, no one will say anything about going to Shule Girl's Shop to be a merry bastard.

There were two or three hundred disabled people, but it was good to come back alive, and nothing else. Besides, there are these gold, silver and silk, and there is no reason why life cannot go on.

Some rejoice, others grieve. Thousands of Han sons and daughters were killed in the battle of Talas River, and a quarter came from Shule Town. The Hermes-Epitek, who had not found their relatives, were even more anxious, and walked slowly towards the army behind them unwillingly. No matter how loud Du Huan was, telling them that these were the garrisons of Anxi and Yanqi, no one would pay attention to them.

Looking at those poor people, Ma Lan was not in a good mood, and waved his hand to signal Du Huan to stop shouting and let them look for them in the army.

Unable to find their loved ones, people understood what was happening and cried sadly one by one. When General Gao returned, they had already cried once, and their tears were almost dry. Now it is easy to have hope, but at this moment hope is completely shattered.

"Those who returned with us, and the bereavement we gave to those who died in battle on the road can also allow their families to live. Those who died in battle under the city of Talas were given very little compensation by the Metropolitan Protectorate, and many people's lives were probably going to be very difficult. Du Huan said in a low voice.

Ma Lan was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "Among the athletes who joined the army and died in the battle of Talas Chuan, how many belonged to Shule Town?" ”

Du Huan said: "This needs to be known by asking the town guard." I went to Geometry, and I came back to Geometry with General Gao, and I came back to Geometry this time to confirm that the rest of them were either killed in the Talas River, or they are still in the river......"

"Those who are in the river are judged to die in battle. Now go to the town guard and bring me the roster. Ma Lan interrupted Du Huan's words.

"General, what do you mean...... We shouldn't be responsible for the bereavement of these people. Du Huan was a little reluctant.

"Go ahead!"

Seeing Ma Lan's order, Du Huan sighed in his heart, so he had to ride his horse forward and go to the Shule town guard.

Today is a big day for Shule Town, and many Han family sons and daughters have returned safely, which is also a great restoration of the strength of Shule Town. At such a time, the Shule town guard was naturally present. At this time, he was standing outside the city gate, facing Ma Lu's army across the crowd.

Du Huan came to the city to explain his intentions, and Bai Xiaode, the guard of Shule, ran over with more than a dozen guards and greeted each other with Ma Ling on horseback.

This Bai Xiaode is a member of the Qiuzi royal family, and he is also a veteran in the Anxi Army, and he has met Ma Lu a few times, and he is considered an acquaintance. Bai Xiaode looked at Ma Lan and said with a smile: "Renjie, what you have done this time is comparable to Ban Chao Chen Tang, and Qingyun is just around the corner." When we see each other in the future, I'm afraid that my brother and I will be your subordinates, and when the time comes, Renjie will not forget today's friendship, and bring you as a brother. ”

"Definitely, definitely!" Ma Lan smiled, unwilling to be too polite to him, "Lao Bai, what I mean, Du Huan has already told you." The soldiers of Shule Town are in the battle of Talas River, you should know very well. ”

"Brother Renjie, you're giving me a problem." Bai Xiaode smiled bitterly and said, "Since the grace comes from above, it is the nature of a teenager to say that it sounds good, and it is the kindness of the city to say that it is unpleasant, which is a taboo for the general." ”

"Lao Bai, if you don't give me the roster, I will tell these people immediately, and say that you are preventing me from giving them bereavement benefits." Ma Lan raised his voice.

Bai Xiaode's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "This is not good, Brother Renjie, if you shout out a word, my brother and I will be torn apart immediately." ”

"Then get the roster out." Ma Lan smiled.

Bai Xiaode was helpless, took out a booklet from his bosom and handed it to Ma Lan, and said: "In the battle of Talas River, more than half of the Han army in Shule Army Town was lost, except for those who came back with you, they should all have died in battle." ”

Ma Lan didn't read it, and directly handed the booklet to Du Huan. Du Huan hurriedly took out a few booklets from the horse's back and slowly compared them.

"We will stay here for three days, and when this is done, we will leave. Join the army, we will enter the city first, and after entering the city, you will check it slowly. ”

Du Huan closed the booklet and nodded. The gold and silver coins and silk silks have basically shone brightly, and if you want to give pensions to the soldiers of Shule Town who died in the battle on the Talas River, you have to sell those truly precious things. To accomplish this, you must find the Hu merchants in Shule Town.

"Wait a minute! Those who have family members who have participated in this expedition and have not returned, will go to the town guard envoy's yamen three days later to receive the pension given to everyone by General Ma Lan! "Du Huan's advantage of loud voice was once again brought into play on this occasion.

After shouting a few times, the crying in the crowd was slightly quieter. Many people looked at Ma Lan, and their eyes showed gratitude.

The absence of a male in the family is naturally a great misfortune. The dead are gone, and those who are alive will continue to live. Getting more bereavement benefits can be regarded as a little comfort for the old and young in the family.

Those who came back alive carried gold and silver on their bodies, and silk silk on their backs, and the unfortunate people were extremely envious of these people. I only hope that the pension I received this time can be the same as these people, so that the future life will be better.

After Du Huan finished shouting, he smiled and nodded at Ma Lan. In his opinion, since he has decided to give up this wealth, it is necessary to let this wealth play a role, and improving Ma Lu's status in the hearts of the military and people in Shule Town is the only role that this wealth can play.

Ma Lan knew what he meant, smiled and didn't speak.

He made such a choice, not to invite people's hearts, but to really not see such a tragic picture. He did so out of sheer discretion.
