Norton and Abdul VIII Shuker thought of Tucker in the city lord's palace, and Tucker finally let out a sigh of relief after watching the wind and rain on the grassland stop for a while.
"Fortunately, this heavy rain came and went quickly, and it didn't delay us much. Although it is very scary, it is time for us to return to Lane City."
After Tucker said this, he first rode his horse and led the team towards Lane City. After the dozen soldiers behind him packed their bags, they followed Tucker forward.
After the heavy rain, the grassland was all muddy and difficult to walk on. The horses were not fast and could only move slowly on the grassland step by step.
This suddenly made Tucker unhappy again.
"What a shame, how come it's like this? We must hurry up and return to Lane City quickly. Otherwise, if we don't have food and supplies, we'll be in trouble if something goes wrong."
After Tucker expressed his concerns, the soldier next to him suddenly took a step forward.
"Sir, why don't we go around and see if there are any ownerless cattle, sheep, horses or other edible things? Or if there are tribes around, let's buy some food? I guess we can find it if we have money. Can we get some food from them?"
Yes, these people in front of me all have a lot of money.
In order to bribe them, Tucker spent a lot of money, each of them had a handful of gold dinars, at least more than twenty.
This is a huge sum of money for them. After these people said this, Tucker nodded helplessly.
"You are right, but let's head towards Lane City first and see if there is anything you mentioned on the road. If there is, it will just solve our lack of food and clothing. If not, we are thinking of other things. Find a way."
Although Tucker said he would think of a solution depending on the situation, he still knew in his heart, what if he really couldn't find anything to eat along the way?
I don’t know if it was Tucker’s good luck or bad luck. After he came out of Xu Yunyan’s tribe, he was caught in a storm. He found a cave to hide in. He came out of the cave again and headed towards Lane City. He ran into A Turkic tribe dragging its family and its mouth was also heading towards Lane City.
Seeing the tribe that seemed to be suffering from a disaster from a distance, Tucker didn't know what to think and turned the horse's head directly.
"Let's go over there and have a look. It looks like they are going to my black-clad territory. If that's the case, I'm sure we can get some help and provide them with some help."
What Tucker said was very interesting, and Tucker's younger brother in front of him didn't have any embarrassment. He hurriedly followed Tucker towards the Turkic tribe chosen by Tucker.
In Xu Yunyan's tribe, Xu Yunyan smiled happily as he looked at the well-fortified camp after his own reminder.
"Yes, that's how it should be. We learn from the Turkic tribes and built a tribe on the grassland that we can survive in peace of mind. We must make long-term plans. Today we encountered a storm, and we may encounter a snowstorm in the future. We must make a long-term plan. Properly settling our camps will not allow us to suffer losses to the homes we have worked so hard to build.”
Xu Yunyan spoke righteously. If his legs were not trembling, he would be more powerful. However, even if his legs were slightly trembling from time to time, no one said anything. Instead, they looked at Xu Yunyan with his eyes shining. .
"What the general said is true. It is our blessing to be able to follow the general."
Xu Yunyan waved his hand to the cheerful soldiers to wait for a while, and then looked at them talking happily.
"However, there are no problems in our camp. I still hope that you can separate a few more teams to go to the wilderness to see if there are any Turkic tribes that have been affected by the disaster, and if there are any ownerless cattle, sheep, and horses. If there are any, we will They have all been brought back to expand the strength of our tribe. You must also want to live the life of a master, right?"
Although Xu Yunyan did not explain clearly what happened in the life of the Master, these people understood it in an instant.
It is impossible for them to live a good life with the cattle, sheep and horses found on the grassland, but the Turkic population can help them herd cattle and sheep, help them wash and replenish themselves, and can also solve their needs. Why not do it?
With this idea in mind, everyone was happily enjoying themselves, while Maimaiti stepped forward directly.
"Don't worry, General. I will immediately take people to search outside. I will bring back everything I can."
After Maimaiti spoke, Xu Yunyan looked at Maimaiti and nodded.
"Yes, but you have to be careful. You must ask your wife to agree. Otherwise, none of us can tell what will happen to you."
Xu Yunyan seemed to be playing a riddle with Maimaiti, asking his wife to pay attention to anything. Although the words were not so direct, many people who were getting married couldn't help but shudder at the same time.
"Understood, we all understand, and we know what the general means, but we can't snatch a few people back from the grassland after we have a wife, otherwise something big will happen. Whether our wife will let us live again, it doesn't matter. It’s a difficult problem.”
After things in the camp were temporarily over, Xu Yunyan watched Maimaiti lead the team out to search, and then looked at Sun Ning standing next to him and asked worriedly.
"Will it be a problem for Sun Xiaoning to take someone out?"
Xu Yunyan asked this question, and Sun Ning's face suddenly became very ugly.
"Do you want to be gentle and gentle with her? Look at all the hard work you put in last night on her. Is there any plot?"
After Sun Ning said this, Xu Yunyan immediately begged for mercy.
"Madam, please forgive me, how could I think like this? I treat everyone equally, how could I do such a stupid thing? Madam, please don't accuse me unjustly."
After Xu Yunyan kept begging for mercy, Sun Ning finally looked satisfied, but still rolled his eyes at Xu Yunyan, ignored Xu Yunyan and got up and walked towards the tent.
As for Xu Yunyan? Watching Sun Ning leave, he breathed a sigh of relief and walked in one direction. There were some supplies from the camp there. He wanted to take a look to see if he was affected by such a situation. Don't be careless for a moment. , causing problems with his own supplies.
After things on the grassland were basically settled, those tribes that were affected by the disaster went out to ask for help, and those that should be rescued began to rescue themselves. In other directions, in Dunhuang of the Tang Dynasty, a majestic The Tang army came to Dunhuang.
Seeing the style of the Western Regions that he had never seen before, Changsun couldn't help but shake his rather eye-catching fan.
"Beautiful. It's so beautiful. I never thought it would be like this in the desert."
It's just that Zhao Dong next to him didn't say anything at all when Changsun couldn't help but show off his literary talent and show that he was a scholar. Instead, he honestly led the Tiance guards forward. , and after their Tiance guards, who were armed to the teeth, were tens of thousands of Tang soldiers arranged by Li Daozong.
They also walked towards Dunhuang in neat military formations, and with their arrival, many merchants from the Western Regions in Dunhuang, the trading center, were shocked.
"What's going on? Why do so many Tang troops suddenly come? Seeing that they are armed to the teeth and have enough food and supplies, do they want to station here or go west to conquer small countries like us?"
Some businessmen from small countries in the Western Regions were talking fearfully, and even some were about to cry.
"How many soldiers are here, more than our entire country. What's going on?"
Looking at the businessman who couldn't help but tremble, the other people laughed.
"Now you know how to be afraid, now you know what the Tang army is like? Didn't you say that your people are very powerful before? Defeat our country in three days, defeat another country in seven days, occupy the territory in one month, and destroy the country in at most half a year. Tang, why are you scared now? There are more Tang troops here than there are people in your country, it’s really interesting."
Among these businessmen, there were some people beyond imagination, some with dark skin whose facial features could not be seen, which also aroused Changsun Chong's curiosity.
Changsun Chong, who originally admired the scenery of the Western Regions, patted Zhao Dong on the shoulder after seeing these people.
"Look, these people in front of you are really interesting. Why do they look like this? Have you seen them?"
Zai Changsun couldn't help asking Zhao Dong, but Zhao Dong shook his head.
"I haven't seen it before. Although I traveled all over the country with the general before, I have never seen anything like this."
Zhao Dong and Chang Sun Chong, two generals who looked like dolls, were chatting and laughing with each other, and they were surrounded by numerous Tang soldiers who were waiting in full formation. People couldn't help but wonder what their identities were. Some businessmen's eyes were shining.
It just so happens that I have some beautiful women in my caravan that I can give to them. I wonder if I can get in touch with these two generals who are extraordinary at first sight?
It would be great if I could receive a large reward for this.
Just as these people couldn't help but imagine what would happen after they established a relationship with Changsun Chong and the others, some Tubo people in the trading center of Dunhuang saw that the Tang army began to return directly to the direction of Tubo. They wanted to The king who went back to inform them encountered something extraordinary.
The Tang army actually appeared in Dunhuang again, and they didn't know what their intentions were. Although they knew that their Tibetans had submitted documents of surrender to the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty had not made proper arrangements for them yet, but the only way the Tibetans could Dunhuang, which has obtained trading resources from other places, is garrisoned by the Tang army. It doesn't look like the Tang Dynasty wants to have a good relationship with the Tibetan people. Instead, it is possible that the Tang Dynasty is going to start a war against the Tibetan people that they don't know how to make a choice. Conspiracy?
However, Changsun Chong and Zhao Dong didn't care about this at all. After arriving in Dunhuang, the governor who was stationed in Dunhuang rushed over in a hurry.
Looking at the military camp under the banners of Li Daozong and Tiancewei, the governor's appearance that he thought he could still show off his majesty suddenly ceased, which made the Dunhuang officials who were following him very curious.
"What happened to the Governor? Didn't you come to ask them why they came to Dunhuang without notifying us? Why did the Governor want to return before we even went to the camp?"
The governor of Dunhuang looked at the officials next to him who were questioning him, and he wanted to whip them twice.
"Aren't you blind enough to see that those are the banners of General Li Daozong and the banners of Tiance Guards? Which of these can we offend?"
