When Liang Ying came back, he brought a lot of weapons and war horses, and Xiao Yuhua and Avanti brought back some heads.

The practice of remembering merit with the head or left ear is not so popular in the Tang Dynasty, especially the number of heads obtained by Yun Chu in Liaodong is not as good as Xue Rengui and Pei Xingjian, but because of the rich harvest, when accepting the emperor's commendation, the emperor gave him the most generous reward - the Marquis of Guannei.

Although the term Marquis of Guannei is not very popular in the Tang Dynasty, every marquis clearly knows that the closer the fief is to the capital, the more the emperor trusts and values him.

Yun Chu's fief is in Lantian County, next door to Chang'an.

Judging from the things that the two brought back, Liang Ying cares more about practical interests, and Xiao Yuhua cares more about glory.

Since they were all chosen by themselves, when Yun Chu was rewarding, he would naturally favor Liang Ying with his actual interests and give things like names to Xiao Yuhua.

Therefore, Liang Ying recorded the harvest in the merit book, Xiao Yuhua got a battle armor, and as for Avanti, he got a horizontal knife.

Both were satisfied.

Yun Chu stayed in the sweet water well for three days, and during these three days, they captured many sand thieves who ran back by themselves to drink saliva.

These people all came back with a mortal heart, and when Yun Chu handed them over to Zhen Sanshan, they were all exceptionally obedient.

The price of labor in the Western Regions will rise soon, and they have a clear understanding of this.

They don't mind being traffickers until other ways to make money are opened.

When they left the Sweet Water Well, their team in Zhen Sanshan was already very large, and Yun Chu glanced at the length of the team and knew that there were at least three thousand people.

As soon as their team left, a large number of people emerged from the desert, crawling towards the water source.

When they reached the water source, they scrambled to dip their heads into the water to drink, even if there was a group of people behind them who were busy putting chains on their feet.

After these people drank enough water, they lay on the edge of the water with one of the boss's stomachs, and some people drank too much water, and the corners of their mouths overflowed with water.

"It's really easy to make money here."

Peng Qi, a retired old thief who came out of Qinling, after fastening the last iron buckle around the neck of a sand thief, expressed his emotion to Zhen Sanshan.

Zhen Sanshan said with a smile, "The brothers who came here this time are all interested in running an industry in the Western Regions, Lao Peng, you haven't spoken yet, how about it, what are the opinions of the brothers in the mountains?"

"I heard from the soldiers and brothers who came down from the Western Regions, this Western Regions, the most is the land, as long as you occupy a place with water, don't plant anything else, you can make a fortune just by planting cotton

This time we are here to explore the way, if it is feasible, the brothers will come out of the bitter place of the Qinling Mountains and come to the Western Regions to grow cotton

I always feel that the county zun pulled us out this time, just because he has an opinion on us people, if we are still robbing houses in the Qinling Mountains, there will be problems sooner or later

I don't want to go into the black prison in Wannian County, the last time I was lucky to come out of it, it was my fate, and the jailer inside was not human."

Zhen Sanshan, Huang Biao smiled when he heard Peng Qi's words, "In the vicinity of Chang'an, no one believes us even if we say that we have changed our ways, but here it is different, and the things before the death row prisoners return from here will be written off."

If we mix here for a few years, make some money, and then go back to retire, who doesn't call us lord?

I've been very worried over the years, and I'm always afraid that the brothers under my command will do something hurtful in Wannian County that day, and then they will be suppressed by the county honor."

Peng Qi looked at the caravan in the distance and said, "Hurry up and pack up, catch up with the team early, and arrive in Gaochang."

After that, he brandished his whip and began to whip the sand thieves lying on the ground, and the sand thieves who had just rested staggered to their feet and followed the Tang people, and some of them who really did not have the strength to walk were hacked to death, and then the shackles were removed and discarded on the sand pile, so as not to pollute the water source.

When these sand thieves began to walk on the land of the Western Regions in a hobbling manner, they never knew that since they started, the fire of slavery in the Western Regions was shining brightly, and then it became a prairie fire, and this fire of slavery burned in the Western Regions for three hundred years.

When the dry sandy soil gradually turned into a somewhat wet land, Gaochang finally arrived.

Coming out of the sea road, even if it is Yun Chu, gentle, Zhong Kui and other characters, when they look back at the vast sea road, they also have the feeling of 'I don't want to go a second time in this life'.

When the land is wet, there will be more grass and trees, and some government soldiers will fold some yellow grass leaves from the ground and put them on the end of their noses to smell carefully, as if they want to smell the last bit of grass and trees in the dry grass and trees.

After leaving the sea of death, the camels of the caravan neighed in unison, and even the horses became energetic.

At this moment, thick smoke suddenly rose from the huge beacon between the desert and the plain, and it was obvious that this huge armed caravan led by Yun Chu suddenly emerged from the desert, alarming the Tang army guarding the beacon.

The wolf smoke had just risen, and a low horn sounded on the ground, and there was already smoke and dust rising in the direction of Jiaohe City, which was faintly visible on the horizon.

Gently glanced at the hourglass, and said to Yun Chu, "A stick of incense, it seems that Anxi has not yet protected Pei Xingjian's corpse."

Yun Chu said to Liang Ying, "If we want to attack Jiaohe, what should you do at this time?"

Liang Yingdao "500 cavalry as the vanguard, 1,000 cavalry followed, foot soldiers followed on horseback, and attacked with all their might, striving to decide the victory in the first battle, if the victory could not be decided, we must also try to kill and wound the enemy soldiers, and try to avoid such a thing as a siege here."

Yun Chu said, "From the Jiaohe cavalry here, you still have an hour to prepare, what, are you going to waste this time?"

Liang Ying looked around and found that there was no particularly dangerous terrain here, so he looked at Yun Chu in puzzlement.

Yun Chu said, "You have gunpowder, thunder bombs, fire oil bombs, thistles, and gillnets, you don't plan to use these things, right?"

Liang Ying arched his hand and said, "The last general thinks that a bloody battle at this time can boost morale and strengthen the prestige of our army."

Yun Chu looked back at the cavalry who were already nervous, sighed and said to Liang Ying, "You haven't made any moves yet."

Liang Ying said in surprise, "It's my Tang army on the other side."

Yun Chu looked at Liang Ying and said, "How do you know?"

"This is the capital of Tang Anxi."

"What if Pei Xingjian is killed, what if Jiaohe City has changed hands, and a group of aliens pretending to be Tang Jun are running at this time?"

As soon as Yun Chu finished speaking, the whip in his hand had already been drawn on Liang Ying's helmet, making a loud noise, and Liang Ying's head was tilted, and he immediately yelled at the deputy general, "Throw the iron thistle, three zhang, the shield hand is forward, the gunner is behind, the jumping cone formation is ready, the archer is ranging, and the two wings of the cavalry are in a sortie formation."

Seeing that the army finally moved, Yun Chu set his eyes on Zhang Donghai, who had already started to act at this time, shouting and ordering the camel to make the camel kneel on the ground, and surrounded Naha's carriage and valuable goods, and it didn't take long to form a camel city.

As for the sand thieves who were chained by iron chains, they were beaten by the whip of the Tang people, and one by one they lay down on the ground honestly, but anyone who stood up or had bad intentions would be killed immediately.

Yun Chu squinted his eyes and looked at it for a long time, and the cavalry on the opposite side had also quickly approached, and when they saw that Yun Chu's side had formed an attack formation, they did not rush forward, constantly looking at this team.

Looking at the flag, the leader who came over on the opposite side should be Pei Xingjian's deputy general Wang Fangyi.

He was also unsure if this army was Yun Chu's army, and he was also worried that if Yun Chu died, or rebelled, his army would be raided by traitors.

Liang Ying had just been whipped, and although most of the force was on the helmet, a small part of the whip was whipped on the face, where a bloody streak appeared and bled out.

Yun Chu watched Wang Fangyi send scouts around in a large circle to check on his army and camel caravan, and said to Liang Ying casually, "Do you know how Guo Xiaoke died?"

Liang Ying didn't dare to wipe the blood on his face, and said in a low voice, "Careless death"

Yun Chu said, "So, next time you are careless, you will die because of carelessness, your ancestor told me before parting, just take your whole corpse back, I told him, there is no whole corpse, unless it is salted or completely burned to ashes, your ancestor said, it will also be."

Liang Ying hurriedly arched his hand and said, "The last general is guilty."

Wen Wen said at this time, "Let's go to the army and hand over to Wang Fangyi."

Liang Yingru was amnestied, quickly urged the horse forward, carefully avoided the thistle, and finally came to the place where Wang Fangyi's horse had already walked out two feet in front of the horse and said loudly, "I am Liang Ying, the pioneer of the front of Yunhou in Wannian County, please sign up in front of the general."

Wang Fangyi lifted his visor and said in a deep voice, "Wang Fangyi, the deputy general under the command of General Pei of Anxi, please show the customs exit documents and lift the guard."

Liang Ying dismounted and walked to Wang Fangyi on foot with the paperwork to present the paperwork.

Wang Fangyi sat on the horse and checked the paperwork and returned it to Liang Yingdao, "Why is there a wound on the face?"

Liang Ying said shyly, "I was taught a lesson by the prince."

Wang Fangyi looked at the military array behind Liang Ying and said enviously, "You will follow the prince and marquis in the future?"

Liang Ying nodded and said, "Yes, it's just harsh."

Wang Fangyi also jumped off the horse, patted Liang Ying on the shoulder, and said, "In the Western Regions, it's not a big mistake to be careful."

After speaking, he walked through the thistle terrestris array, and came to Yun Chu and hugged his fists and said, "I've seen the prince"

Yun Chu snorted coldly and said, "Pei Xingjian's shelf is a lot bigger."

Wang Fangyi patted his head and said, "When you come, you will protect it, and the prince will definitely take care of it."

Yun Chu sneered and said, "I tried my best to say good things for him, and finally got him to the position of the protector of Anxi, and waited at home for him to come to the door with gifts to thank you, but I heard that he took office with a light car, it is really shameless."

Yun Chu scolded Pei Xingjian, Wang Fangyi knew that he couldn't interject, so he let the horse's head stand aside and said, "Please enter the city."
