Chapter 31: Notes

readx;

Yang Shouye's arrival obviously made the atmosphere in the northwest even more tense. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Yongzhou also gradually changed its previous conservative strategy, and began to carry out oppressive patrols on a large scale unusually, and elite squads have even appeared in the suburbs of the small national capital occupied by the big cannibals.

Da Shi and Hu Ren were obviously a little uneasy, and they also accelerated their preparations for war, but they really didn't understand why the Yongzhou army suddenly became so active, you must know that Yang Shouye has always been known for being cautious and steady.

Even, many people in Yongzhou City can't figure it out.

It's just that such a decision was made by Yang Shouye himself, and with the help of the hardliners in the main battle, no one in the army expressed dissent, so of course it was carried out naturally.

I'm afraid no one would have thought that this time the Yongzhou Army was so radical, it was just that His Majesty Daliang was unwilling to be lonely, and wanted to add another stroke to his cultural and martial arts in the history books.

.................................... The general Yang Shouye sat in Yongzhou, guarding the foundation of the Great Liang in the northwest, while Chu Mad personally went out of the city to arrange, the Yongzhou army began to advance slowly and methodically to the north, and the army of Mobei also began to cooperate to put pressure on the Hu people from the other side.

And Chu Nan temporarily put aside the matter of Yongzhou and began to fulfill his main duties, going to Vasai, the overlord of the Western Regions, to calm the tension of the countries in the Western Regions, and try to draw them to the side of Daliang.

The Great Iron Horse is menacing, with the help of the temple, and now it has reached an alliance with the Hu people, and the wall grass in the Western Regions is the most sensitive to such changes, and I am afraid that there are not a few who want to fall into the past now.

Chu Nan has a responsibility, it is impossible to stay in Yongzhou all the time, Dugu Qiu and Li Zhen are naturally duty-bound, they have to follow Chu Nan to act, and the escort is the three thousand elite soldiers trained by Chu Nan himself.

At this time, the weather is only getting warmer, and the trees in the northwest are only just beginning to glow green.

Along the way, caravans heading west were everywhere, and even the tense moments before the Great War could not stop the merchants from earning their fortunes.

The 3,000 people did not go to the countries along the way to negotiate and register, but directly waved the banner and roared past.

Many of the smaller countries along the way were also terrified.

However, the Northwest is in turmoil, and the small countries in the area of influence of Daliang do not have the courage to provoke Daliang's army, even if they complain, they can only watch the pair of cavalry roar away, let alone block, even if they go to the symbolic inquiry and protest, they will not dare.

.................................... Vasai was not too far away from Yongzhou, and early the next morning, the mission traveled all the way to the border of Vasai.

Out of respect for Vasai's strength, and to prevent unnecessary misunderstandings, the mission had to slow down.

Vasai is one of the most powerful and wealthiest of the countries in the Western Regions, and the beautiful exotic scenery along the way has opened the eyes of the soldiers of Daliang.

In peacetime, Daliang's army had never penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Western Regions.

Of course, the 3,000 elite cavalry was particularly eye-catching, and the people of Vasai who were full of vigilance and hostility could be seen everywhere along the way.

If it weren't for Queen Vasai's advance arrangement, I don't know how much trouble would have happened along the way.

The xenophobia of the countries of the Western Regions can also be seen, and if Daliang really wants to include the Western Regions in the territory, there is still a long way to go.

Even though Li Zhen already had experience in long-distance marching, he still couldn't bear such a torturous and rapid march, and he was very embarrassed by the tossing up and down, and said with a depressed expression on his horse...... Isn't there no need to rush so much?"

Dugu Qiu nodded approvingly.

Chu Nan glanced back, the effect of the training was not bad, the three thousand elites had not changed much, and the spirit and spirit were still good.

It's just that a rapid march is a great burden for both men and horses, and people may be able to hold on with training and willpower, but most of them are already a little tired, and if they march quickly, they may be injured by horses.

Chu Nan chuckled and said: "You and I have a lot of responsibility, and the place we have to reach is not only Vasai, it's better to speed up, and go back to Yongzhou as soon as possible, the main battlefield is unlikely to be here...... You don't want to miss the big battle, do you?"

It is normal to make great achievements in the war, and the merits and glory of soldiers must be fought for on the battlefield, who is willing to be just a spectator?

Li Zhen was silent and didn't complain anything more.

Chu Nan waved his horsewhip and said loudly, "Let's go...... Let me take you to see the most beautiful and famous palace in the Western Regions......"

.................................... It took decades of construction to complete, and after Queen Jiang continued to build at any cost, it can be said to be extremely magnificent.

The square in front of the palace gate is all paved with polished bluestone, and a beautiful and delicate garden is bound to be built every other distance, even in the current weather, it is still very beautiful and green.

In the middle of each small garden, there is a fountain more than one person high, the clear water flows into the air and falls, the sound of the rushing water makes people can't believe that this is the northwest desert.

The three thousand soldiers naturally had Li Yong take them down to camp.

Chu Nan, Dugu Qiu and Li Zhen slowly walked through the fountain square in front of the palace gate, and walked towards the palace gate with admiration.

In front of the palace gate, a cashmere carpet with lace has been laid out luxuriously.

Standing outside the palace gate of Vasai, Chu Nan smiled gently, but Dugu Qiu and Li Zhen couldn't help but praise it.

Different from the splendid atmosphere of the Daliang Palace, the Royal Palace of Vasai is exquisite and gorgeous.

Patches of beautiful white spire-like buildings, and from afar you can see the jewels on the spires glittering in the sunlight.

The oval palace gate is also engraved with beautiful and complex patterns in the Western Regions style, with gold handles and silver-plated facades, and a luxurious atmosphere is blowing in the face.

The same is true inside the palace gates.

The girder-style rockery pond, the beautiful garden in the Jiangnan style, and the magical hanging garden are dizzying.

In the huge northwest, only Queen Jiang must have the ability and courage to build such a magnificent palace.

........................ Queen Jiang set off for China a few days after Chu Nan left Beijing, and has now returned to Vasai for some time.

Chu Nan and the three of them entered the domed palace, and they were greeted by Queen Jiang, who was dressed in Western Regions costumes and was amazing.

Jiang Muxue wore a dazzling crown inlaid with blue gemstones, a white robe with gold trim, holding a scepter symbolizing Vasai's highest status in one hand, and the future queen of Vasai in the other.

Li Zhen and Dugu Qiu looked away from Queen Jiang with difficulty, and respectfully saluted the most powerful woman in the Western Regions.

Of course Chu Nan doesn't need to, after all, he is holding the title of Prince Vasai.

Jiang Muxue led the demon to sit down, of course, she had to be polite, and said with a chuckle: "The three of them came from afar, it must have been hard...... Drink a cup of pearl butter tea from Vasette's specialty first......"

Of course, Chu Nan and the three of them couldn't refuse, so they took it up and tasted it after thanking them.

Astringent, slippery, sweet, sticky, and the smell of goat's milk, Li Zhen and Dugu Qiu took a sip, and even their facial features were distorted.

Chu Nan didn't like this Vasai's specialty either, so he wouldn't embarrass himself, so he picked it up and pretended to put it down, beckoning to the demon: "Come here...... Demon ......"

Li Zhen and Dugu Qiu were taken aback, and they didn't have time to stop it, so they could only desperately look at Chu Nan, such an occasion and such a faux pas were too much.

The demon snorted and turned his head away.

Queen Jiang glanced at Chu Nan, patted the demon's head and whispered something.

The demon seemed to be a little reluctant, and moved to Chu Nan's side with his head stuffy.

Chu Nan knocked on the demon's head, picked up the sulking little girl and put it on his lap, lowered his head to tease her.

After a while, the demon hid in Chu Nan's arms and giggled while hugging Chu Nan's neck.

Queen Jiang just watched, the smile on her face was a little more sincere.

Li Zhen and Dugu Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, and they looked at Chu Nan with admiration in their hearts, and even faintly awe.

In any case, in this way, the trip to Vasai will be much smoother.

Holding down the nonsense and not letting her move, Chu Nan looked at Jiang Muxue and said, "Your Majesty, presumably you already know about the fact that Da Shi and the grassland have joined forces, right?"

Jiang Muxue nodded, and said slowly: "The grassland has always been with the Western Regions and the Wasai well water, and the river water does not interfere with the river water, and a few days ago, the Hezhe tribe also sent a messenger, saying that the grassland will never ...... to attack the west."

Li Zhen was taken aback, but he didn't expect that Hu Ren would not forget to appease the Western Regions at this time, and said with a chuckle: "Hu people have wolf ambitions, and they have always liked to go back on their word, and I know best that Her Majesty the Queen should not be deceived by them......"

"Oh......" Queen Jiang was noncommittal, and asked with a gentle smile: "I heard that the Yongzhou army has been making big moves when it comes in, and I don't know when I want to make a move on the big food?"

Li Zhen was a little disappointed and embarrassed when he saw that Jiang Muxue didn't answer his words at all.

Chu Nan tugged at the demon's pigtails, ignored her cry of pain, and said with a smile: "Yongzhou has a big move, so that the Hu people and the big cannibals dare not move, and it is also relieving the pressure on Vasai......"

This is a high-sounding statement, but it is just empty words.

Of course, Queen Jiang knew that it was impossible for Chu Nan to say heart-to-heart words on this occasion, so she chuckled and said, "The three of you have a tired journey, and you will go down and rest for one night...... Let's talk about the joint dispatch of troops in detail tomorrow......"

Of course, such a thing was in a hurry, so Chu Nan and the three of them said goodbye and left.

Queen Jiang sent the three of them to the door, and took the opportunity to pick up the demon in Chu Nan's hand, stuffed a note into Chu Nan's hand, winked at Chu Nan, and left with her head held high and proud steps.
