Chapter 1381: Reconnaissance 400 Miles

When Cheng Chuliang arrived in Samarkand City, it had already become a herd of cattle and sheep, and Cheng Chuliang was followed by merchants from various countries in the Western Regions.

While Feng Chucai and Qu Tutong were busy robbing, Cheng Chuliang was not idle, he gathered all the tribal leaders from the Western Regions who followed the war, and told them that they could go to Samarkand City to buy cattle and sheep at 80% of the price.

But you have to transport it back yourself, as for what kind of way you use, we don't care, if you need to be escorted by the Tang army, then you have to pay 5% of the freight, even so, then only 85% of the price can buy these cattle and sheep back.

Although the 15% profit is not very large, but for these nomads, cattle and sheep are too important to them, just like the land of our Han people, so the 15% profit is not low, and except for the tribes that fought with the Tang army, other tribes did not have this benefit at all.

So in such a situation, a large number of businessmen still followed Cheng Chuliang over, and when they saw a large number of cattle and sheep in the barracks, these people's eyes were almost glowing.

"See the big handsome..."

Looking at these dusty subordinates on both sides, Cheng Chuliang also knew that they had worked hard these days, and after coming to Samarkand City, it must be to make up for that financial hole, and these people were all out of sight day and night.

"The brothers have also worked hard these days, your efforts are also in the eyes, after returning to Beijing, they all have their own sharing, this time His Royal Highness Taisun also wrote a letter to you, I also brought it over, you all take it and take a look!"

After Cheng Chuliang's words were finished, these people present couldn't get up even if they were tired, and they were full of strength at the moment, His Royal Highness is the future emperor, we work hard, as long as he can see it, then he will worry that he will not have a good future in the future, isn't it just to make future generations a little more comfortable by fighting in the Western Regions now?

In the past, they also had the habit of writing letters to Li Xiang alone, and now Li Xiang's reply is only one hundred and ten words, but all the answers are the key points, of course, they also understand that Li Xiang is very busy with work there, and they have also worked by Li Xiang's side, and the letters from all over the world can be said to be countless every day, and it is not easy to reply to you with a hundred and ten words.

"Report to the marshal, those merchants outside are already a little impatient, they are ready to choose cattle and sheep, I don't know what the marshal means?"

After reading the letter given by Li Xiang, Qu Tutong remembered how uncomfortable they had been during this period of time, there were cattle and sheep transported from all over the country everywhere, as if there was a smell of cow dung in the air, if these businessmen could finish the selection, then they could also seize the time to get on the road, saving the entire barracks from messy, which also affected the combat effectiveness.

"If they are not tired, then hurry up and let them go down to choose, and these people have not brought any cash here, but they all have silver tickets in their hands, just let them trade with silver tickets."

Since the people on both sides are not afraid of hard work, Cheng Chuliang will naturally not stop them from getting rich, just let them hurry up and trade, the smell in this tent is indeed not very good, if you stay here for a long time, it is estimated that Cheng Chuliang will not be able to stand it.

After hearing Cheng Chuliang's permission, Qu Tushou hurriedly asked his generals to go down to do errands, and hurry up to sell all these things.

Seeing that his subordinates had gone out to run errands, Cheng Chuliang looked at the city of Samarkand in the distance outside the tent, and originally wanted to see the majesty of the Governor's Palace, but he didn't expect that there was nothing, the entire city was burned down, and the people of the Arab Empire were really good at doing things, and when they were defeated, they didn't leave anything for us, which was much more difficult than the previous enemy.

"It's all because we didn't do it well, if we had been quicker at that time, maybe the city would have been preserved, and now if we built a big city here, it would cost a lot of money."

Feng Chucai said with some embarrassment, when he came here, the entire city was already on fire, if he let his subordinates go over to fight the fire, he might be able to save it, but it may cause casualties to his subordinates, and the saved city is also more troublesome to deal with, so Feng Chucai let his subordinates abandon the city.

"There is nothing wrong with what you are doing, this is a very normal thing, if I was in your position at the time, then I would not let my people go in and take risks, if all the people in our Datang city are ordinary people of Datang, then it is still worth the risk for our people, in this kind of territory of other countries, it is impossible to put our people in such a place."

For Feng Chucai's choice at that time, Cheng Chuliang can be said to have raised his hands in favor, there is no need to sacrifice our own people for the unstable land of other countries, this is known to all the Tang generals, although Samarkand City is now in our hands, but it is still in the war zone, among them, who knows if the people of the Arab Empire will make a comeback? Even if we save the city at that time, it may not be ours.

Feng Chucai also breathed a sigh of relief beside him, if someone bites him and doesn't let go, then he is likely to attach a certain amount of responsibility, now that the big marshal has said so, no one will definitely look for the account in the future, even if they want to find it, then they have to pass the level of Cheng Chuliang first.

"Didn't you continue to investigate the armies of the Arab Empire?"

Among all the reports, only there is no news about this aspect Cheng Chuliang, there are also some worries, the previous enemies His Royal Highness told us, don't pay too much attention to them, but the Arab Empire is different, their overall strength and the Tang Empire are also somewhat similar, so we also need to pay attention to this matter.

"Our scouts have all been sent out, but there is really no one to find them within a radius of 400 miles, and in view of our limited manpower, we have not continued to send troops to reconnoitre."

After hearing this result, Cheng Chuliang also nodded very understandingly, at this stage, it is enough to scout 400 miles...
