Section 22 The appetite of the gods

As the purest person in Yun Ye's mouth, He Shao's courage is very pure, Yun Ye has a camel city, and He Shao must have a camel city, but when he went to buy the camel city structure map from the academy, he was slapped in the face by Mr. Yuan Zhang, and he ran away without caring that his face was full of ink, because he had heard Mr. Yuan Zhang roaring angrily to hand him over to the hands of the Du Shui Supervisor, and by the way, ask him whose benefits this businessman took to spy on the military secrets of the Tang Dynasty.

Fortunately, Mr. Yuan Zhang just roared, if he really did this, it is estimated that He Shao would have been in a different place at this time.

There is no genuine camel city, so He Shao found a few students from the academy to drum up a camel city by himself, although there were only five hundred camels, when they came out of the Yumen Pass, they still made the Yumen Pass guards very frightened.

Sitting on the camel city and listening to the music and enjoying the enchanting performance of the Persian dancers, He Shao was full of hope for his trip, and on the other side of the desert there were countless riches waiting to be grabbed for him.

Datang's market has been divided, as a low-level noble, he can only eat a little leftovers in this huge market, if he doesn't pay attention to protection, when those big sharks gobble up, maybe he will swallow himself as a piece of meat.

Although he is only forty-two years old this year, He Shao has begun to sum up his life, remembering the scene of himself wandering in the grassland with Yun Ye, and he can't help but be moved to tears.

If you want to get rich, you have to endure hardships first, so He Shao thinks it is necessary for him to go to the Western Regions in person.

The road to fortune was really difficult, and after sitting on the camel city for a short time, he wandered to the Troubled Stone City, and as a result, Xu Jingzong thought that the camel city belonged to the imperial secret and could not fall into the hands of the merchants, so he gave He Shao 500 gold coins. This simple version of the camel city was requisitioned, where Yun Ye needed some supplies, it couldn't be better to transport it with this thing.

"Shame on you, if the camel city was really like this, Yunhou would have been captured by the Turks a long time ago to worship the sky." Xu Jingzong watched the sergeants load goods on the camel city, and sighed sincerely.

He Shao didn't have much resistance to this matter. He still knew the truth that helping Yun Ye was helping himself, but he was very angry at Xu Jingzong's slander.

"This is already the best camel city we can build, for this thing, I was almost sent by Mr. Yuanzhang to be beheaded by the Dushui Prison, you see, I walked all the way from Yumen Pass to Ranshi City, she is still intact, how can you look down on people?"

"I don't know anything else, but I know something. Your camel city is actually not called a camel city, it is called a camel pile, ten camels carry a wooden shelf, and the goods loaded cannot catch up with ten individual camels, this is a waste of Yan zhòng, are you coming to the Western Regions to make a fortune or are you going to come here to show off? ”

"Of course I'm going to make a fortune, what good way does Changshi have to take care of my little brother?"

"It's too early to get rich, the perils of the empire have not yet passed. We need to help get through this difficult period and wait until the Western Regions are completely quiet. We can only talk about private matters. ”

He Shao was deeply impressed by Xu Jingzong's words, and after paying the donation of two hundred gold coins, he finally obtained his exclusive right to operate Ranshi City, which served as a transit point for materials in the Great Western Regions, and He Shao thought that the money was well spent.

The further west you go, the more desolate it becomes, and Yun Ye's camel city walks in a long line on the Gobi. The evaporation of the water vapor on the ground obscured the distant scenery, but fortunately there was no need to worry about getting lost, and there were rotting war horse carcasses everywhere along the way, and they could no longer move from Qiuzi to this place.

Yun Ye knew that Tushi's brigade was in front. If you speed up your trip, it won't take you five days to catch up with Tu Shi, but Yun Ye has always maintained his current speed, not hurried or slow, as long as he maintains a certain sense of oppression.

The scouts of the two armies are constantly fighting, Guo Ping and Chen Shu have already gone down to the scout army, they are very interested in slaughtering the Turks, and Cheng Chumo is also constantly accumulating his own merits, as long as there is a battle for him, he can do anything.

There was a big trouble there without a tongue, his divine light had weakened recently, and the light that came out was no longer a snow-white light, but now it had turned dark red, Yun Ye knew what the reason was, atomic fission has a weakening cycle, not to mention this thing similar to the Night Pearl, the energy released is almost there, and it should become no different from ordinary stones.

Sitting cross-legged in the dark red house, I don't know what powerful method I am cultivating, but it looks gloomy, and Du Ruhui refuses to shine on this light, thinking that this light is unlucky, and if you shine too much, something may go wrong.

Tongueless continued his cultivation regardless of it, Yun Ye didn't talk much, since the old man of dozens of years old has a pursuit, let him continue to pursue, if there is no goal in life, Tongueless will definitely collapse in the shortest possible time, and at that time, it will be the real lack of skills.

After walking for seven days in a row, after encountering a new water source, Yun Ye ordered the camel city to stop advancing, the reason was that the Turks stopped, Yun Ye ordered the scouts to pass the news of their arrival to Liu Fang, Han Zhe, Xi Tong knew that they had been playing alone for so long, it was time to collect their temperament, according to the report of the exploration horse, Xiao Miao's angel army has now developed to a scale of 50,000 people, after defeating Xiao Bolu, they are now fighting in the territory of Tianzhu Kingdom, they intend to penetrate the Tianzhu Kingdom and enter the territory of the Great Cannibal in the Far East.

One of the reasons why the Tang Dynasty looked at the Western Regions and believed that it could not be lost was that Tubo was a great trouble, and unlike the disputes of the nomads, the "expansion" of the Han people was mostly due to the massacres, looting and harassment carried out by the surrounding ethnic groups in order to fight for the territory that belonged to them in the past.

In order to defend Chang'an, it is necessary to occupy Hexi, in order to defend Hexi, it is necessary to control Qinghai, and in order to control Qinghai, it is necessary to occupy the Western Regions to divide the forces of the Tubo Empire, so that it cannot expand eastward with its troops.

A long time ago, Li Er had discussed this matter with Lu Dongzan, and he thought that as long as Tubo completely gave up the land of the Qinghai generation, the Tang Dynasty would completely give up the Western Regions, but Lu Dongzan rejected it.

As the national strength of the Tang Dynasty became stronger and stronger, when Lu Dongzan was about to agree to the emperor's request, it was Li Er's turn to refuse, the current situation is very obvious, the Tang Dynasty needs the Western Regions, and naturally also needs Qinghai, Li Er never spit out the meat that he ate in his mouth, no matter whether he can eat it or not.

The conspiracy needs time to ferment, Yun Ye intends to leave enough time for Tushi to determine his direction, and the whole army of Helu's army turned to Xiao Bolu, biting the tail of the angel army tightly, and using the angel army as a giant axe to open the way, the angel army pretended to be fooled because of its own composition, and constantly seduced the Turks towards the territory of the big cannibal.

Liu Fang, the pair of old foxes of the Great Elder were entangled with each other, restrained each other, and relied on each other to fight in a strange land. For this reason, Yun Ye thinks that his own power should not intervene too early, He Lu is the king in the true sense, and Tu Shi wants to go back now, and he can't ignore He Lu's existence if he joins his own people.

After all, during the period of his loss of troops and generals, it was He Lu who took care of all the Turkic women and children, not him, the Great Elder, as the most prestigious elder in the Turkic tribe, he unswervingly stood on Helu's side, plus the first Turkic fierce general Barge Horse with the most elite golden wolf banner loyally guarded Helu, so that the Turkic Raiders who had long wanted to get rid of Helu had nothing to do.

Tu Shi needs to weigh the gains and losses, Yun Ye is not in a hurry, the longer he thinks about it, the greater the damage to him, let Helu take away the clansmen, this is an unforgivable mistake made by Tu Shi, and now it is just a manifestation of the evil consequences, without the righteousness of the Eastern Crusade, he has no way to continue to rule the coalition forces of all ethnic groups, and it is only a matter of time before he turns into birds and beasts.

The camel city is no longer approaching, but the cavalry is in Cheng Chumo, Chen Shu, Guo Ping under the leadership of the non-stop attack on the Turkic coalition army day and night, and finally on a sunny night, the only remaining five thousand Xue Yantuo people quietly left the camp, and went into the vast Gobi, when Tu Shi put on his clothes and carried a war knife and prepared to chase after Xue Yantuo, Elder Tuyuhun sadly stopped Tu Shi's action, at this time, once the division of troops is to kill themselves, let Xue Yantuo people leave.

Tu Shi stood on the Gobi all night, and when the morning came, the scout told him that he had found the corpse of the Xue Yantuo people fifty miles away, and he did not seem to be surprised at all, and turned back to the remaining generals and said: "The stray lamb will inevitably be devoured by wild wolves, this is the word handed down by the ancestors, have the people of Xue Yantuo forgotten?" ”

After saying this, Tu Shi looked at the huge hot air balloon rising on the horizon, and said to everyone: "The Tang people seem to want us to go to the west very much, although we must oppose what the enemy likes, but now, we have no ability to object, do you know why Yun Ye stayed there far away and didn't come?" ”

Without waiting for the generals to answer, Tu Shi continued: "He is waiting for us to collapse ourselves, and last night Xue Yantuo was the best example of this, he is like a hungry wolf standing outside the sheepfold, constantly scaring us, making us feel terrified from the heart, and when we lose our combat power, we will let him slaughter.

I originally wanted to lead you into the country of Shazha and completely annex this country, and then we will discuss the matter of the westward expedition in the long run, but now we have no time, Yun Ye will not give us time, He Lu took the clansmen, you go and follow him, I really want to cut off the head of this stinky boy who is troublemaker, what a pity. “

Elder Tuyuhun grabbed Tu Shi's hand and asked eagerly, "What are you going to do?" “

Tu Shi smiled and said: "I can't die, the blood debt of 20,000 Tang people is on my body, he won't allow me to escape lightly, only if I die, the rest of the people can have a chance to live."

I cooked my concubine here and offered her to the gods, but the gods, who had a great appetite and were not satisfied, put me on the altar now, and I hope that he would bless you to reach the west. (To be continued......)
