Chapter Forty-Eight: Reflections in Confusion
Their battle continued, but Yun Chu had no interest in watching the battle, and the sharpshooter shot the threatening ironclad cavalry, and by the way, killed the horses of those men.
If a group of cavalry could not deal with seventy or eighty foot soldiers fighting back-to-back on the ground, they deserved to be killed.
There may be one or two high-status people among these people, however, these high-status people are meaningless to Yun Chu.
He was now more concerned about whether there was enough food and supplies in Jieshi City, knowing that Naha was still screaming with hunger.
Food is the most important thing at this time, and this white plague is very large, and there are hungry people everywhere.
An ironclad cavalryman seemed to see that Yun Chu was the commander here, and while resisting the attack of the black-armored cavalry, he tried to communicate with Yun Chu in various languages.
"We are Prince Beluz's men!"
When this person began to shout in Hui, Yun Chu already understood who they were.
However, Yun Chu didn't care, no matter whose food in this city was, today, it should belong to him Yun Chu.
There are too many hungry people, so they can't care about Prince Beluz or not, and today, even if Prince Beluz is on the scene, it's useless.
As the shouter tried to introduce himself in his clumsy Tang language, a spear pierced his neck, drowning the first word in his chest.
I don't know why, as long as Yun Chu enters the Western Regions, he seems to have changed as a person, and his habits of doing things will be quickly corrected into a pure Western Regions person.
In Chang'an, he is a county respected by thousands of people, and he is a capable official who is gentle and elegant in the eyes of everyone and has superior force.
is a singer and poet who can sing Chang'an as a fairy land.
It is a figure destined to become a legend in Chang'an in the eyes of people.
However, in the Western Regions, he has changed.
Since entering the Western Regions, he has not written a poem, written an article, or praised this vast land.
As long as they can write poems, those who can write articles will create poems one after another when they come to the Western Regions.
Yun Chu didn't have this kind of thought, the Western Regions had never been a place for him to express his emotions, but a place where he needed to fight all the time.
Every grass and tree here is a great danger to him, even the wind is more severe to him than others.
The gate of Jieshi City has been opened by Liang Ying and them, and it can be seen that both Liang Ying and Xiao Yuhua enjoy the killing very much.
The people of this city refused to surrender, so they naturally had to face the result of slaughtering the city.
Therefore, Yun Chu rode into the city with those Buddhist warriors.
By the time he arrived at the Jieshi City Lord's Mansion, the adult men of the original people in the city had already been killed by those in the Buddha Kingdom.
They followed the rules of the Western Regions, and all men taller than the wheels were killed.
Yun Chu took a look, the wheels of the Western Regions were smaller than the wheels of the Lele car on the grassland, so the boys left here were not more than six years old.
Before attacking Jieshi City, Yun Chu sent people to persuade him to surrender, and the people in the city responded to the envoys sent by Yun Chu with feather arrows and stones, and even a few buttocks.
Now, those people's butts are still there, but the heads are gone.
I don't know who gave them enough courage to think that they could resist the 20,000 horses led by Yun Chu with only 2,000 people.
However, these people were obviously killed in battle, and some of them were still holding the throat of the samurai of the Buddha Kingdom before they died, and in the end they were both killed, not after surrendering on their knees and being killed like pigs.
The older child was killed, and the women held the child, who was not as tall as the wheel, and looked at Yun Chu in armor.
There was anger in his eyes.
Hate the enemy, this is the power of the women of the Western Regions, because no matter what kind of enemy they are, they will not kill them.
Yun Chu saw the logo of the Yuanjiao Sect, just like he saw the mark of the Great Food Sect in Zhezhi City, this city is also a city that belongs to the gods.
Castles that belong to the gods are generally wealthy, especially those with temples.
The people of the Jacket Sect worship fire, so the people here have a red flame pattern on their eyebrows.
The women didn't, they shouldn't have the opportunity to enter the temple, and it was ridiculous to say that the female believers of the Western Regions Jacket Sect were not qualified to tattoo the flame pattern on their eyebrows.
In Chang'an, the flame pattern painted on the center of the eyebrows has become a decoration, and the reason why Chang'an will rise such makeup is inspired by the Yuanjiao temple.
Every time Jinchangfang opens a lantern festival, the women in Chang'an City will smear their faces with thick white powder, paint their mouths small, and carefully draw a lotus-shaped flame pattern on their eyebrows, which they call - lotus makeup.
This kind of makeup is easy to make Yun Chu feel a little confused, he has seen this kind of makeup when he went to the Wa Kingdom a long time ago.
Now, the people who have the flame stripes on the center of their eyebrows are dead.
Yun Chu believes that in the future, there will be more and more Chang'an women drawing flame patterns on the center of their eyebrows, because on the beautiful faces of women, a flame pattern will appear, which can make their faces become smart all of a sudden.
The houses on both sides of the street are the same as the houses in Qiuzi City, all of them are adobe bricks, rammed earth houses, and the black holes inside are not clear to see, listen to the sounds, and the robbery is going on.
Yun Chu saw a very, very large amount of grain in the warehouse of the City Lord's Mansion, and he poked the grain pocket with his poke.
It was full of burnt wheat, not the barley that people in this area were used to growing.
In fact, there is no way to grow wheat here, not to mention the high altitude, spring comes late, winter comes early.
Obviously, the wheat is definitely not locally produced, it must have come from a distant place.
Yun Chu also found some chickpeas, which are something similar to peas, but the grains are larger than peas, and the yield is also larger than peas.
It is a good food whether it is eaten boiled or fried.
Yun Chu wanted to know the origin of these grains, and he also wanted to get more grains by touching the vines.
Unfortunately, the fat city lord died heroically, and now his body is lying at the gate, and his clothes are also stripped clean.
Yun Chu also saw that the city lord's wife, daughter, and maids were carried away by a group of old thieves, and it was said that they were going to be registered.
The old thieves are serious about robbery, and anything in this city except food is their property.
Moreover, these people were very dissatisfied with Yun Chu's fact that he gave the fruits of the last robbery to the Naharvard girl for free.
This time, after getting his own property from Yun Chu and asking for his own safekeeping, he was willing to continue westward.
The old thieves are on guard against Yun Chu.
Therefore, Yun Chu still does not know where these grains come from.
Food may seem like a lot, but in fact it is still not enough in the face of a huge number of hungry people.
Fortunately, after breaking through Jieshi City, Yun Chu also found that there were a lot of cattle and sheep in the city, but they were not too fat.
He now has a certain psychological barrier to raising cattle and sheep, and after a white disaster, he starved to death a lot of cattle and sheep from Shiguo and the surrounding areas of Shiguo.
I don't know what's going on with these livestock, when you stick to fat, you will die slowly, but when you lose fat, you will be fast, and if you can't eat enough for ten days, these cattle and sheep can give you a thin bone frame.
It seems that if Naha's Buddha country wants to establish itself here, it is better to be half-farming and half-pastoral, otherwise it will be destroyed sooner or later due to natural disasters.
In everyone's eyes, Yun Chu asked Xiao Yuhua to lead people and be responsible for transporting these grains back to the Buddha country, with the existence of these grains, the remaining people in the Nahafu country should be able to hold on until the grass turns green.
I have to say that the people of Nahafu are really not greedy, those Buddhist men with all kinds of rudimentary weapons, after getting such a large amount of food, are not willing to continue to fight with Yun Chu hungry.
Some of the old slaves of the Buddha Kingdom in the past, and the residents of the Buddha Kingdom today, think that the fact that they can find so much food is completely due to the guidance of the Buddha, and that the people that the Buddha hates the most are those who are not greedy enough.
Without Yun Chu's consent, they put these grains on the camels' backs, and if the camels were not enough, they carried them on their backs, joining Yun Chu's team like their tides, and followed Xiao Yuhua with the grain like the tide of the ebb tide and they left Yun Chu's army.
These people are all Naha's subjects, and they need to be educated for a long time to become a real group of good people to rely on.
If they were not the people of the Buddha country, according to military law, Yun Chu should use the eleventh order to kill a group, punish a group, and educate a group.
The Cypriot cavalry did a better job of prohibiting it, and the bad thing about them was that they liked to tease the captured women.
What can really reassure Yun Chu is those soldiers and rangers from Wannian County and Chang'an County.
To be honest, the Western Regions is really not a place where you can talk about discipline, no matter how disciplined the army is, or when the team arrives in the Western Regions, it will become scattered.
Just because discipline is allowed to grow here, and the only thing they can call discipline is that the strong have everything, and the weak have nothing.
When Wen Rou came to the City Lord's Mansion, he saw Yun Chu sitting on a fine blanket and drinking yogurt with a horizontal knife.
"I began to think that those cavalry were big cannibals, but after I caught them, I found out that they were Persian Shasanids, and the reason why they stored so much grain in Jieshi City was to welcome Prince Beluz, that is, these grains were actually prepared for our Tang army.
They heard that Prince Beluz had received a promise from the emperor to help them restore their kingdom. ”
Yun Chu looked at it and said gently: "Prince Beluz is now in Qiuzi, do you think Pei Xingjian will take the Anxi army on an expedition to Sassanid Persia regardless of it?" ”
Gentle smile: "It's just a cheat of money, I was deceived by Your Majesty when I was in the capital, I think the beauties, treasures, and gold that Prince Beluz brought to Chang'an should have been consumed."
That Prince Beluz probably wouldn't even be able to afford the money to get back here. ”
