Looking at the comments below, there are a lot of them, there are dozens of them in total.
There are also a lot of private messages in the background, all of which are asking about the source of the video.
Obviously, the Liushahe video has aroused the curiosity of many netizens.
But how could Lu Xiaoning tell them the source of the video? He's not a fool.
Lu Xiaoning closed the video platforms one by one, then opened the dynasty and entered the world of Datang.
The screen lit up, and they saw that Lu Wen had arrived at another store, and was personally accompanied by Luo Jiuhu, the shopkeeper of Daqin Company. Seeing this, he knew that the cooperation with Daqin Company had been reached.
This should be Luo Jiuhu who is accompanying Lu Wen to buy stone fat through the ghost market.
This is exactly what happened. On the surface, this store only sells raisins, but secretly it also sells stone fat.
Small countries such as Qiuci and Khotan in Anxi began to use stone fat as medicine as early as the Northern and Southern Dynasties to treat hair loss and other diseases. After the Tang Dynasty conquered Anxi and established the Anxi Protectorate, the sale of stone fat began to be banned.
Because stone fat can be used as a firearm in the military, and it is extremely powerful.
Nowadays, the stone resin mined in various mines in Anxi is handed over to the arms supervision and procurement.
However, collusion between government and businessmen has always existed, so stone resin can still be purchased in the ghost market.
It took some time to gather two hundred barrels of stone grease, and almost the entire stock in the horse market was bought out.
There was a camel team specially responsible for transportation in the horse market, and Luo Jiuhu led Lu Wen to find a camel team for transportation.
To transport 500 shi of grain and 200 barrels of stone grease [100 kilograms per barrel] from Khotan City to Seluburg, at least 180 camels are needed. The round trip takes at least more than half a month. The camel team requires a total of 2 One hundred thousand yuan for shipping.
After arranging everything, Daqin Company spent a total of 600,000 yuan, which was just a small sum for the company.
However, Lu Wen felt as if he was dreaming. The Immortal Lord was worthy of being an Immortal Lord, and he could arrange everything without spending a penny.
Lu Wen couldn't wait to leave overnight, because he knew that Seluburg's food was almost exhausted. Even if he saved food, he wouldn't be able to survive for a few days. He had to go back early.
But no matter how anxious you are, you can only wait.
Because the door to the horse market is not open yet.
…
It was already the beginning of his life, and Li Siye was still busy.
Firstly, because the morning and sunset in Anxi is an hour later than in Chang'an, and secondly, because Cen Shen brought military orders from Anxi Jiedu envoy Feng Changqing, asking him to summon the troops from the states near Khotan Town and those guarding the city to prepare for a large-scale troop dispatch. Preparations for the Kingdom of Bury.
Today's saint is already sixty-eight years old this year and will be sixty-nine next year. According to the custom of doing nine, the saint should celebrate his seventieth birthday next year.
The governors and governors from all over the country have been secretly preparing birthday gifts.
Feng Changqing was appointed as an honest and self-responsible official. He couldn't bring out any rare treasures, so he thought of taking a piece of military exploits as a birthday gift.
Therefore, Feng Changqing decided to send troops to destroy the Great Bolü Kingdom this year. If conditions permit, he will also fight a decisive battle with the Tibetan army in the Great Bolü Kingdom. The first battle will severely damage the army sent by the Tubo Kingdom.
Then he went to Beijing with this heavy military achievement to celebrate the saint's birthday.
To this end, Feng Changqing began to mobilize supplies in the second half of last year.
Khotan Town, surrounding states and Shouchou City have already made preparations.
So now another thing Li Siye and Cen Shen are discussing is the action plan.
Feng Changqing's plan was for Li Siye to join the Quy Nhon army first, and then together they would send troops to the Great Bolü Kingdom.
However, Li Siye had different opinions. He wanted to go deep into the territory of the Great Bolü Kingdom alone and directly attack Hesarao City, the capital of the Great Bolü Kingdom. This move was fiercely opposed by Cen Shen and his subordinates.
During the dispute, a messenger walked into the room and handed over a secret letter.
After reading the secret letter, Li Siye immediately showed a look of astonishment on his face.
"Here." Cen Shen crossed his hands and sang "here" and then asked, "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"
"The leader of the team in Seluburg, his name is Lu Wen. I don't know what method he used, but he persuaded the Daqin Company to generously donate 500 shi of food, and also bought 200 barrels of stone grease from the ghost market."
As Li Siye spoke, he handed Cen Shen the secret letter sent by Wu Houpu.
"Is this happening?" Cen Shen also had a look of astonishment on his face and took the secret letter with both hands.
Li Zuoguo said: "Master, Shizhi is a forbidden substance. Do we need to send troops to arrest people?"
Cen Shen said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, just arrest people. Lu Wen is doing this to defend the city."
"Arrest people, arrest people, arrest who? You don't arrest those who should be arrested, but you are quite active in arresting those who shouldn't be arrested."
Li Siye glared at Li Zuoguo and then said: "Lu Wen probably borrowed usury money from Da Qin Company. This person did not hesitate to borrow usury money but also guarded the border forts for Da Tang. Such high moral integrity is really admirable. I need to help him for a while." .”
"What your envoy said is absolutely true." Cen Shen, who had already read the secret letter, echoed, "If we can help Lu Wen transport the 500 shi of grain and 200 barrels of stone grease back to Selüburg, then at least one more person can be guarded. moon."
"Grain and stone grease alone are not enough." Li Siye said solemnly.
"Your Majesty, you still want to send troops to Lubao?" Cen Shen frowned slightly.
"No troops will be sent." Li Siye waved his hand and then said, "Only one Mo Dao team will be sent."
Speaking of this meal, Li Siye shouted outside the door of Zhifang: "Come here, summon Cui He quickly."
Cui He was Li Siye's adopted son and a life-catching general under Li Siye. He was good at wielding the Mod Sword, and his skill with the Mod Sword was passed down by Li Siye.
[Capturing the living general: a low-level officer of the Tang Army, similar to a special forces captain]
In less than a moment, Cui He, the captured general from Khotan Town, came to Gong's house.
Everyone looked back and saw a giant man like an iron tower walking in proudly.
Cui He seemed to be about the same height as Li Siye, about seven feet tall, and he was just as big and round.
This is normal. If you don't have a strong body, you can't dance away from Mo Dao at all. Even if you can barely dance away, you can't exert the powerful lethality of Mo Dao. All Mo Dao soldiers must be huge and round-waisted giants.
"Here!" Cui He crossed his hands and sang "Fai" to Li Siye, and then said, "Cui He, pay homage to grandpa."
Li Siye hummed and said in a deep voice: "Cui He, I will give you a mission. Early tomorrow morning, take your people to Yutianma City to find Lu Wen of the Quy Nhon Army, and then follow his orders."
"Here!" Cui He didn't ask any further questions, received the order and turned around to leave.
This is undoubtedly a standard army, with only military orders in mind.
Watching Cui He leave, Li Siye said to Cen Shen and others: "Let's talk about what happened just now. This is what I think. The Tibetan army is currently attacking Sailubao, so the country of Dabolu must be empty. Our Khotanese army is here. If we raid the city of Hesarao at this time, we can definitely defeat them with one blow, so that the Tibetan army in Selüburg will have no way to retreat."
"However, it is too dangerous to directly send troops to Dabolü from Khotan Town to cross the Nimangyi Mountain." Cen Shen objected, "Since ancient times, there has never been an army that has been able to cross the Nimangyi Mountain."
[Nimangyi Mountain is the Karakoram Mountains, part of Congling]
"Judge Cen is wrong. How come there is no army that can cross Nimangyi Mountain?"
Li Siye retorted: "Didn't Quy Nhon's army, Zhenglu Wen, and his cavalry cross the Nimangyi Mountain? Didn't the Tibetan pursuers who intercepted them also cross the Nimangyi Mountain? They also took a detour to Sailu. Didn’t the Tibetan army on the west side of the fort also cross the Nymangyi Mountain from the Dabolu Kingdom, go deep into the Tulum Moraine, and then make a roundabout way to the west boundary of Seluburg?"
Cen Shen was speechless because what Li Siye said were irrefutable facts.
At this time, Li Zuoguo retorted: "The men and horses may barely be able to climb over the Nimangyi Mountain, but the baggage will certainly not be able to climb over. Without the baggage, the army will not be able to fight for a long time. If the attack does not go smoothly, the troops will be trapped under the fortified city, and the advance and retreat will be lost."
"Don't worry about this. As soon as the army appears under Hesarao City, the Tibetan army and the Dabolu Army will definitely be demoralized, and Hesarao City can definitely be taken down in one go." Li Siye seemed to have made up his mind.
Cen Shen, Li Zuoguo and others stopped trying to persuade him, which was in vain.
…
Lu Xiaoning edited the Khotanma City video and posted it on various platforms. It was already past two o'clock and he fell asleep.
Although he had stayed up late for several days, Lu Xiaoning still woke up very early the next day. He turned on the screen and saw that the clock tower of the Ma Market in Khotan City was ringing the morning bell.
Various shops in the horse market also started to be busy.
Lu Wen had already gotten up and was following the camel team to load the oil.
While he was busy, he suddenly saw a group of Tang soldiers with phoenix wings and daggers on their heads, wearing black and bright armor, walking in a queue. All the businessmen and travelers on the street dodged.
Because the pressure of the Tang army, which looks like giant warriors, is too strong.
Lu Wen's eyes fell on the weapons in the hands of this team of Tang troops, and he said solemnly: "Mo Dao team!"
