Chapter 40 is the most unbelievable
Just as the horse thieves sent out by Naha began to clean up the temples in the Western Regions, Yun Chu was slowly approaching Naha's Buddha Kingdom with the wealth looted back from the Stone Country.
Pei Xingjian, who was nine hundred miles away, was fighting with the Tubo people by the Hotan River, and the sky was dark, and the sun and moon were dark.
The Tibetans came with 50,000 people, and Pei Xingjian only had 18,000 men under the command of Anxidu, plus 20,000 Uighur cavalry.
So far, Pei Xingjian's men have suffered heavy casualties...... The Uighur cavalry was no match for the Tibetan warriors under the command of the Chin Ling.
This group of Uighurs, who were full of courage before the battle, broke away from Pei Xingjianzhong's military tent, and claimed that they could drive those barbaric Tubo people back to the plateau with a single charge, and were killed by the cavalry of the Qinling Tomb in a battle at the rocky beach.
After more than 8,000 men were killed and thousands captured, the fleeing Uighur cavalry immediately became a model for the prohibition of orders in the army.
The defeat of the Uighurs had little effect on the officers and men of the Anxi army of the Tang Dynasty, who had long been accustomed to this situation.
As for the issue of fighting more with less, they didn't think about it even more, because, since they came to the Western Regions, they had never fought more than they frequented, and it could be said that every vicious battle they experienced was fighting more with less.
However, a city appeared on the rocky beach, a city made of Uighur corpses.
This city wall is not high, but it can effectively stop the pace of the cavalry, under the sun, this corpse city looks radiant, no other, just because the binder between the corpse and the corpse is water, after the water freezes into ice, the corpse and the corpse are connected closely.
The Tubo people were so skilled at making corpses that they faced the heads of the invading enemies, so that when Pei Xingjian's army reached the city, they were stared at by the dead Uighurs.
Originally, there was no splash of water on these heads, in order to facilitate the vultures in the sky to peck at food, but unfortunately, this place is close to the river, the humidity is very heavy, only a few days of work, the head that has not been soaked in water, it is wrapped in the ice shell, what it looked like before death, and now it is wrapped in the ice shell, it is still lifelike.
After Pei Xingjian received the battle report, he did not continue to advance and chose to fight a decisive battle with the Lunqin Tomb at the rocky beach, but instead, he withdrew his troops and ordered the Uighur cavalry to attack from all sides, moving all the tribes of the Western Regions within a radius of 500 miles.
After the soldiers and horses of Qinling came out of the tunnels of Kunlun Mountain, although the people were sleepy and lacking, the will of these people to fight was very high.
Pei Xingjian felt that he didn't need to take the lives of his brothers in the Anxi Army to fight against the Qinling Tomb, who was anxious to fight because of the shortage of food and grass materials.
You only need to endure for a few days, and after the food and grass of the army in Qinling can not keep up with it completely, it will not be too late to fight.
At the same time, he also wanted to confirm a guess, that is, the Tubo people still have internal responses in the Western Regions, and if the Qinling Tomb is unwilling to retreat, it means that someone is providing him with grain and grass.
Therefore, Pei Xingjian's army is constantly retreating, and he believes that as long as he keeps retreating, sooner or later, who the traitor is will be clearly exposed in broad daylight.
Pei Xingjian's will to protect the capital of Anxi continued to extend in the Western Regions, and all the Tang people in the Western Regions began to revolve around Pei Xingjian's will.
After Yun Chu received Pei Xingjian's instructions, he did not rush to Khotan, he continued to take the wealth from Shicheng and the cattle and sheep from the old monkey's homeland, and unhurriedly advanced towards Naha's Buddha country.
The boy had made a huge Buddha kingdom, with nothing but a group of slaves and a group of robbers who were guards.
Although there was a group of Serbs brought by Selema, the Cypriots were no better than the slaves, and they were all terrible poor.
All the things left by the old monkey are to support the capital that can continue to operate in the Naha Buddha Kingdom, and what Yun Chu is doing now is to take all the wealth left by the old monkey to Naha to the Buddha Kingdom.
With a large number of cattle, sheep, seeds, and craftsmen, Naha's Buddha Kingdom has the foundation to survive.
Therefore, after Yun Chu returned to the Buddha country this time, he not only wanted to help Naha's Buddha country survive, but also reorganized those horse thieves and sand thieves into a formal army by the way, so that these armies, together with the cavalry of the Cypriots, would become the most basic army system of Nahava.
It was not only Yun Chu, Wen Rou, Zhong Kui, and Naha who came to the Western Regions together, but Buddhism attached more importance to Naha's entry into the Western Regions this time.
They sent their men into another team to enter the Western Regions at the same time, and they had to do not only promote Buddhism, but also make their due contribution to increasing the population of the Buddha country.
Therefore, on the way to the Buddha country at the beginning of the year, they would often meet groups of wanderers, the leaders of these wanderers, generally one or two monks, they were ragged, but with holy smiles, leading the same group of people who could not wear the clothes and poor pants, and went straight to Naha's Buddha country with confidence.
Yun Chu in Shiguo, not only plundered the richest Zhezhi City, but he also did not let go of the shepherd tribe outside the city, so in this snowless winter in the Western Regions, they drove more cattle and sheep like clouds.
The wanderers led by the monks naturally joined Yun Chu's team, which caused Yun Chu's team to become very, very bloated in a short period of time.
The old thieves who followed Yun Chu had a resentful look in their eyes, and they once thought that wealth, craftsmen, singers, dancers, musicians, and so many cows, sheep and camels would be their property.
When they found out that Yun Chu was acting as long as everyone along the way, the old thieves felt that all the good things that belonged to them were going to fly away from their hands.
Because, Yun Chu was using the wealth they plundered to support these beggar-like people in the Western Regions along the way, and those monks seemed to be a bit maverick, and there were actually monks who despised them.
Kunlun Mountain has always existed, it lies on the horizon, and the team seems to have been marching towards Kunlun Mountain, but after walking for more than 20 days, Kunlun Mountain still seems to be on the horizon.
It's just that the landscape has changed a little, and some wild grass has begun to appear on the dry land under your feet.
This is good news for cattle and sheep.
The closer they got to Kunlun Mountain, the more depressed the old thieves became, and they keenly found that except for them, everyone including cattle and sheep began to get better, only they got worse and worse.
Some scattered corpses began to appear on the road, these corpses looked very strange, there were no external injuries, but they died alone on the road, their feet were wearing a pair of students who were not old, and their bodies were wrapped in a sheepskin that was not old, and some people were wrapped in some linen, and the linen was not old either.
There were no fresh scars on his body, but when he lifted his clothes, he could see a battered body, with old wounds and scrofula on it.
"These people all died of natural causes." The old thief Huo Yao said to Yun Chu after examining the corpse.
"What kind of natural death method?"
"Excessive joy combined with a quick rush leads to suffocation."
"You've seen this kind of death?"
Huo Yao avoided Yun Chu's awl-like gaze and lowered his head and said: "In the past, when I was surrounded and suppressed by officers and soldiers in the mountains, after everyone escaped, after they hurried away, some of them would die. ”
Yun Chu said: "Since not all of them died, then, why didn't you meet the living on the road?" ”
Cho Poison looked up at Yun Chu and said, "Naturally, I'm hiding." ”
"Grab some and ask for clarification."
As soon as Yun Chu's words fell, some old thieves who were accustomed to activities in the mountains and forests pounced on the mountains and forests on both sides.
An hour later, Yun Chu finally understood where these dead people came from.
Naha freed all the slaves as free men.
It is clear that the corpses in front of them, as well as the ones they have captured, are people who like greater freedom, and they are generally full of resentment towards Naha's Buddha Kingdom.
Especially these people who were caught by the old thief roared loudly as if they were not afraid of death, saying that Naha was a liar.
Naha didn't want to kill the people, Yun Chu naturally didn't want to kill either, even though they were scolding, Yun Chu still let them go.
"They're going to spread rumors and say bad things about Naharvard."
Yun Chu looked at the backs of those people who left in a hurry and said, "The entire Western Regions is in chaos now, where can they go?"
In the Western Regions, I can responsibly say that no slave owner could be more merciful than Naha.
Without Naha's protection, they will regret it, and they will regret it for the rest of their lives, until they die.
Now it's only temporary, but when they really start to repent, the words will be very beautiful and more credible. ”
There are snow-capped peaks on Kunlun Mountain, and the snow-capped mountain in front of Yunchu knew that it should be called Muztagh Peak, which is the name of the Uighurs, which translates to an iceberg like his father. However, people still habitually refer to this mountain as Mount Kinabalu.
In every sacred mountain, there must be a god living in it, and now, the god has come to the bottom of the mountain, stepping barefoot on the white jade lotus seat of three zhang and three high, the height is nine zhang and nine high, and the name of the god is called - Buddha.
When Yun Chu arrived at Naha's Buddha country, he was also surprised by the scale of the Buddha country in front of him.
At the foot of that giant Buddha is a red and yellow complex completely covered by the Buddhist hall.
Everyone who sees the Buddha Kingdom will be amazed by its scale, even Yun Chu, who is accustomed to seeing the construction of luxurious buildings and buildings, is surprised when he sees the Buddha Kingdom for the first time.
In any case, he never imagined that in this deserted place, in this era, such a huge complex of buildings would be seen under the snow-capped mountains.
"How much money did this guy get from the old monkey?"
Yun Chu saw Naha who came to greet her, and after she got tired of being in his arms for a while, he asked in a low voice.
Naha sighed lightly and said, "If you don't come again, I won't be able to sleep, there are too many, too many bones buried under this Buddha country."
When I go to bed at night, I am always afraid, fearing that the ghosts of the underground will pull me away for revenge. ”
Yun Chu frowned and said, "Didn't you say that out of 30,000 people, only more than 10,000 died?" “
Naha said in a low voice: "That's the monks bullying the people of the Western Regions who don't know how to count, and the last batch of 30,000 people from the Western Regions who were arrested, more than 10,000 died." ”
