"Plop!" a sound.
More than a dozen people put Fujiko Jin on the ground, and they all lay down together, breathing heavily. You know, the run just now almost made everyone vomit out the jaundice on their tired faces.
After the leading troops entered the tribe, they fired with all their strength and penetrated the tribe, followed by thousands of cavalry.
In an instant, the entire tribe was wailing, and a large number of tribesmen were killed on the spot. The remaining people fled back to the house one after another, trembling constantly and afraid to come out.
"Separate five hundred horsemen and surround the entire tribe. The remaining people should dismount, form a formation, and advance!"
"promise!"
Sure enough, during the clearing of the soldiers, some people who were familiar with the terrain escaped from the tribe. The cavalry wandering outside were not vegetarians.
What is the scariest thing about Yuntong County?
It's the same frequency that's unique.
The archer training guide implemented in Yuntong County had some initial effects, and it immediately became popular in the areas under its jurisdiction.
The archery accuracy of the light horse archers in Taihuang County has increased almost exponentially.
Archery is not difficult, but it is difficult to shoot accurately. It is even more difficult to shoot accurately on a horse.
But it’s okay, as long as you train consistently, there is no soldier that you can’t train!
Archery accuracy has also been greatly improved.
It must be said that the effect of the training was very timely. In just two quarters of an hour, the entire tribe was escorted to an open space.
"General, including the elderly and children, there are 354 people in total!"
The deputy general nodded, "Everyone can be captured and escorted back to Taihuang County and handed over to the county governor."
"promise!"
"Also, take away all valuable things, clean up the blood stains, and erase all traces of our weapons."
The subordinate hesitated and said.
"General, it's better to burn it on fire."
The general thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, it will be empty, but we have to take away the things. Horses, camels, sheep, no one can be left, not even the sheepskin."
"promise!"
Not long after, the entire lively tribe turned into a ghost town in an instant, and all that was left were adobe houses with empty doorways, heralding the demise of each family.
It is estimated that in a few years, this place will be swallowed up by the desert. If it is excavated thousands of years later, some experts will have something to say.
After the deputy general came back, he was very concerned.
"Master Teng, are you okay?"
Fujiko Jin covered his head and smiled bitterly, "You can't even beat an old immortal on horseback."
"Hey, young master, I'm joking. You've been hungry for a while and have no strength, so you won't be able to beat me. Once you've had enough food and wine, you'll be able to recover in a few days."
"Um."
Fujiko Jin breathed a sigh of relief and felt relaxed all over. The despair of being in jail was too uncomfortable for him.
"By the way, why are you here? Who gave the order?"
When Fujiko Jin came back to his senses, he realized how come thousands of cavalry appeared. In Taihuang County, such a large-scale mobilization of troops was no small matter.
To put it bluntly, Tian Zong has no military power at all. He can only command a few soldiers, but the county lieutenant has a large number of soldiers.
But once troops are used externally, this is no small matter.
"By the way, why are you here?"
The deputy general walked a few steps closer and said, "You'd better ask General Tian about these questions. I'm just a deputy general."
"All right."
A few days later, Fujiko Jin finally returned to the city where he had been away for a while.
Tian Zong came all the way with his guards.
"Oh, Zi Jin, you really scared me to death this time."
Seeing the nervousness on Tian Zong's face, Fujiko Jin immediately handed over his hand, "What did General Tian say?"
"Don't be so polite. We have known each other for a long time."
Fujiko Jin couldn't figure out the context for the moment, so after careful consideration he asked, "General Tian, thank you very much for sending a thousand cavalry to save me this time, otherwise I would be dead."
Tian Zong's eyes flashed with a wry smile.
"Zi Jin was arrested, and your Majesty was furious. He reprimanded me for a full hour, and specifically authorized me to use an army of five thousand men, not one thousand. The remaining four thousand men were scattered on various important roads in the Western Region to search carefully for your traces. .”
"If I still can't find you this time, I'm afraid the general will come in person in the near future!"
Fujiko Jin was shocked inside, his eyes were red, his nose was sore, and his voice started to sob.
"He, he really said that?"
Tian Zong said sternly, "Your Majesty said that you are his savior and his best friend. For you, I will not hesitate to destroy several countries in the Western Region. I must live to see you and die to see you." See the corpse!”
moment.
Fujiko Jin's knot in his heart immediately dissipated without a trace, and the little resentment towards Yang Qian disappeared. What followed was a strong feeling of dying for his confidant.
It turned out that he actually used five thousand troops for himself. Fujiko Jin felt that as a merchant, he was rare in the world.
"Oh, your Majesty likes to joke. He is not a savior or a friend. He is just joking. General Tian does not need to take him seriously."
Tian Zong smiled and said, "Zi Jin doesn't need to be so alienated. Just like you, I'm both a member of your Majesty. What he says is like spitting and nailing."
Fujiko Jin was in a good mood and immediately stood up and covered the bandage on his head.
"I have to take a good rest this time before I can go out to explore for information again!"
Tian Zong couldn't help but tremble with fear. Just this once, he was scared to death.
"You'd better say goodbye. I was scared half to death about this disappearance and was scolded by your Majesty. Your Majesty also said that if you are rescued this time, you must return to Yuntong County to recuperate immediately. Where you are, you don’t have to think about it.”
"Huh? You want me to go back?"
Fujiko Jin was shocked.
Tian Zong said softly.
"Your sister doesn't know yet. Your Majesty is keeping it a secret. Besides, you haven't been back for a long time. How about we rest for a while?"
"This, this, I don't want to go back."
"Hey, it's not up to you. Your Majesty said that if you don't go home, he and your sister won't be able to explain each other. Besides, you're not young anymore. If you don't get married, he'll have to force him hard, even if I tie him up. I’ll tie you back.”
"But it will take several months to go back. It's too troublesome to go back and forth."
"Your Majesty said that the progress of the canal project is getting faster and faster. Maybe next time you come, you can come by boat. The speed will be much faster. You may be able to come here in half a month."
"this......"
"All right!"
Fujiko Jin was a little discouraged, but felt warm inside.
"Then I'll call you Lao Tian!"
"Hahahaha, it has been like this for a long time. Although you are a businessman, you are now making money for the king and the country, gathering information, and you are a national businessman. We have known each other for a long time. From now on, there is no need to be so polite. .”
Fujiko Jin nodded, a trace of killing intent flashing in his eyes.
"Old Tian, you have to avenge me this time. I found that there are some marks with eye symbols in this tribe..."
Tian Zong waved his hand.
"I already know, people from Jingjue Country, the person who framed you is a businessman named Hu Jianbai, right?"
Fujiko Jin's face was filled with astonishment.
"You, you know La?"
Tian Zong's face was relaxed.
"Nonsense, do you really think I'm a vegetarian? I've been collecting clues non-stop. You can doubt my intelligence capabilities, but you can't doubt Amagari's."
"I don't know about Jingjue Country. How strong is it?"
Fujiko Jin felt that the symbol looked familiar, but he didn't think about it for a moment. He had heard of this country before, but didn't know much about it.
Tian Zong said disdainfully, "Four hundred and eighty households, population 3,360, 500 soldiers, with positions such as king and general."
"Their kingdom is located on the banks of the Niya River. The climate is hot and humid, making it difficult to walk. The reeds are dense and there is no way out. I think it is a good oasis area."
"Old Tian, you have to avenge me."
Tian Zong nodded, "Your Majesty intended to destroy the Jingjue Kingdom, but I stopped you."
Fujiko Jin looked at Tian Zong in disbelief.
"Why? Don't you know I almost died there?"
After saying that, Fujiko Jin was a little excited. It was obvious that this incident had a great impact on him.
Tian Zong took a piece of paper and drew some lines.
"Look, this is the place of Jingjue Country, this is an oasis. With the strength of Jingjue Country, it is as easy for us to destroy it as to take something from a bag."
"However, the impact is huge. Your Majesty wants to open the Silk Road. The Jingjue Kingdom is on the key road of the Silk Road. It is easy to destroy them. But once it is leaked, the impact is beyond our control. It may even cause Stir up the situation in the entire Western Region."
"To put it bluntly, the Central Plains has been silent for a long time, and there are undercurrents. No one knows when a war will break out. For now, the Western Regions need stability, and we also need to be familiar with the terrain. The terrain of the Western Regions is very different from that of the Central Plains. I am not afraid Fight, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to conquer the desert and the Gobi.”
Fujiko Jin was stunned and let out a long sigh.
"Then what to do with these people?"
"What did your Majesty say?"
"Your Majesty said, let you make up your mind!"
After thinking for a while, Fujiko Jin's expression changed unexpectedly and he gritted his teeth.
"I want that naughty boy and old man Scar to die, and let them die with the punishment of imprisonment. As for Speed Pulley, this man is a talent, and he never criticized me harshly when he was guarding me."
"Let your Majesty make up your mind for the rest."
Tian Zong's expression moved slightly. He was worthy of being the first person to follow Junshang, and his understanding of Junshang was better than his own.
"Then you have a good rest and set off in a few days. This time I will send an army to protect you."
Fujiko Jin immediately waved his hand, "No, using the army at will will have a bad impact, so let my guards follow."
"Okay, you have the final say."
Yuntong County, kitchen.
Yang Gan wore an apron around his waist, holding a big spoon, and kept stirring the pot.
The cooks in the row behind watched.
"Did you see that the chicken is not cut into strips, but into pieces? Before cutting, pat it gently. Stir-fry the other onions, ginger, and garlic with the sauce. After the juice is reduced, it is almost ready."
Yang Qian flipped the pot over and tipped it onto the plate, gesturing to the cooks.
In an instant, a dozen chefs picked up their chopsticks and started eating.
When the chicken was put into their mouths and chewed carefully, everyone's eyes lit up.
