Chapter 177: Shanshan (2/2 for the sharp red envelope)

What's that! Hu Biao, who suddenly fell off the horse, this commander who died on the street did not die.

It's just that the goods that rushed into the enemy formation first were attacked by many dismounted bandits in a short time; Thanks to the protection of the high-quality armor on his body, there were no fatal wounds.

The problem is, it hurts!

In the middle of the battle, he was able to barely hold on, but once he found out that the victory was decided, he couldn't bear it at all.

As soon as I was relieved, I fell to the ground, and I fainted directly.

When Ah Li and Feng Rui saw this, they desperately whipped their war horses and rushed to the front and back of Hu Biao, without dismounting to check them properly.

Just by looking at the armor on this cargo's body that is not damaged, and the chest rises and falls quite regularly, you can judge a little more:

Don't panic, this one is not a big deal.

In fact, it was indeed the case, and the four rookies including the martial guard, the second fat, the lecturer, and the war elephant were carried under a poplar tree together.

It's just that after taking off the armor on his body and feeding a little Huoxiang Zhengqi water, Hu Biao woke up leisurely after a minute or two.

According to the patient's statement, except for some tightness in his chest, there is no other problem at all......

It's night, considering that after many days of rushing, all the horses in the team are already in a state of sleepiness.

The most important thing is that after Xu Feng interrogated a few horse bandit captives, they asked a lot of good news.

For example, among the many horse bandits, only the horse bandits such as 'One Piece of Sky' are more clever, or they are looking for their own death, blocking the canyon here and waiting for them to come to the door.

Even Zahar in order to be able to monopolize this great credit to the Huns.

They all deliberately avoided other horse bandits and sand thieves, and secretly came to this area, claiming that they saw that there was no chance to simply go to other places to make a fortune.

So don't look at the horse thieves who participated in the 'One Piece of the Sky', and now they have been scattered and fled everywhere.

However, it was at least three days before they were met by other horse bandits and sand thieves, and they learned about the detour of the Han envoys.

Therefore, in the last three days, this small team of messengers has actually been very safe.

Even later, when the other horse bandits caught up, they were just eating ashes behind Hu Biao and the others, and they couldn't catch up at all.

So, when Hu Biao and Hu Yitong reported the latest news to Ban Chao and Guo Sui.

After a little discussion, the two made a decision that pleased everyone: as originally planned, they would continue to camp near the springs in the canyon tonight.

Rest here for the night, wait until tomorrow morning to recover your spirits, and then hurry up.

As soon as such a decision was announced, everyone cheered; Because tonight, Hu Biao and the others were finally able to take a good bath.

The spring, which doesn't even have a name, is actually a small pond of about ten square meters.

Although the depth and water storage are very good, it is absolutely impossible to go in the bath or something; Fortunately, it is enough for everyone to use, and it is completely possible to take a bath.

Boy! Anyway, after Hu Biao washed eleven buckets of water in a row that night, he then rinsed the spring water on his body, so that it would not be black water.

Of course, the same is true for everyone else.

One is very dirty, and the eldest don't laugh at the second one.

That night, in order to celebrate today's almost desperate victory, Hu Biao asked Huang Yizhi to buy some food and let everyone have a good meal.

To tell the truth, Huang Yizhi's craftsmanship is really average, and there are no good ingredients on hand, only some horse meat killed in battle is still fresh.

However, Huang Yizhi added some big materials that he successfully brought from the modern plane.

There are several large pots of horse meat, and after it is cooked in thick oil and red sauce, it is also for the people who have eaten the cake for a few days to eat it with a smile......

******

Early the next morning, the envoys set out again.

Because in yesterday's battle, they captured 56 horses, so that all the people of the envoy regiment reached at least one man, three horses, or even four horses.

In this way, they only need to use one of them to carry various supplies and equipment, and the remaining two or three horses can be used to ride in turns.

Suddenly, the speed at which everyone moved forward was even faster.

And just as Ma San, an old pawn who used to protect the Anxi Metropolitan Mansion, said the same in his mouth; After arriving here, it is not far from Shanshanguo.

As their horses' hooves kept leaving the Gobi Desert behind, the green vegetation in front of them became denser and denser.

Relying on the speed of the horse, only a day and a half later, a vast lake appeared in front of them, and this was the famous Lop Nur in later generations.

Because the Peacock River has not been diverted, it can still be replenished with a large amount of water resources.

Therefore, the water in the lake is very clear, and you can see several catties or even ten catties of big fish jumping out of the water from time to time; They are not afraid of people, and they can easily stab them with spears when they stand on the shore.

Seeing this, the goods didn't care if they couldn't finish eating, and they got a bunch of them ashore at once.

To tell the truth, if it weren't for Hu Biao and others who had checked the information in the modern plane, they wouldn't have dared to believe that the big lake with abundant water and grass in front of them was actually Lop Nur, which represented death in later generations.

In the next few days, the people who ate horse meat were a little disgusted, that is, they ate grilled fish, boiled fish, and braised fish in a variety of ways.

The main thing is that these fish without any pollution are of excellent quality in terms of fish meat, even if they are boiled in water and add a little salt, they also taste very good when eaten.

The only regret is that the fish without chili peppers is eaten by Hu Biao, and it has no soul at all.

Fortunately, such regret did not linger in Hu Biao's heart for long; It was not in the Han dynasty that they found chili peppers in the Western Regions that are still only available on the American continent.

It's Shanshanguo, and it's finally here......

Shanshanguo, if such a name is placed in the future generations, many people may feel very unfamiliar; But if you mention his other name, 'Loulan', it will immediately mean that it is like thunder.

In fact, it was just that this place was called Loulan in BC, and it became Shanshan Kingdom after AD.

To be more specific, that is, Ban Chao's predecessor, Fu Jiezi, a famous man in the Western Han Dynasty, after killing the King of Loulan, who was planning to defect to the Xiongnu at that time, changed his name to Shanshanguo by the way.

Shanshanguo is located on the Silk Road, and its geographical location is quite important.

But in terms of strength, it is not good.

During a break, Hu Biao heard Guo Sui and Ban Chao talk about it, which can be regarded as the official understanding of this place:

"Shanshanguo, whose real name is Loulan, Wang Zhihu Mud City, went to Yangguan for 1,600 miles, and went to Chang'an for 6,100 miles. The households were five hundred and seventy, the mouths were fourteen thousand, and the victories were two thousand nine hundred and twelve. ”

And Ban Chao's purpose this time is to reunify the Western Regions.

Because since Wang Mang's rebellion, the strength of the Han Dynasty had to shrink from the Western Regions, and the consequence is that now it has become the sphere of influence of the Huns.

In order to defeat the Huns, they must not be able to borrow the manpower and material resources of the Western Regions.

Therefore, although Shanshan, a small country of average boogers in the Western Regions, is not large, it is also extremely numerous, and it belongs to some forces that need to be united......
