Chapter 1002 Is My Army From Tang Dynasty Back?

It was Lu Shishi who came. According to the director, Lu Shishi was born in Khotan, one of the four Anxi towns stationed by the Xuanwei Army. Find a way to return to Datang and hand over these family letters to the families of these fallen soldiers.

There is a small bug here. The Xuanwei Army was set up by Tang Tianbao in the 13th year. It was stationed in Yak City, in the north of Xining City, Qinghai Province. It was finally captured by Tubo. In 790 AD, Tubo attacked Beiting, and its troops came from the east. Going to Gansu and Qinghai to enter Xinjiang, so if Lu Shishi was born in the Xuanwei Army, it might be more reliable to escape the Tubo army all the way to the Western Regions.

Last year, an eminent monk who went to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures returned to China. He passed through Shule Town and met with the guardian Lu Yang; when he arrived in Yutian Town, he saw the guardian Zheng Ju; Xin; went to Yanqi Town and met with Yang Riyou, the guardian envoy, and explained that Khotan was still in the hands of the Tang Dynasty at this time.

It was also at this time that Shatuo Turks, one of the main forces of the Tang army in Beiting, surrendered to Tubo and betrayed the Tang army. Asking for help from Huihe, Huihe Grand Minister Jie Yujias led the Huihe army to help Beiting, but was defeated by the coalition forces of Tubo, Geluolu, Baifu Turks, and Shatuo Turks. Beiting Jiedu envoy Yang Xigu led 2,000 remnants of the Tang army in Beiting to flee to Xizhou.

Therefore, it was not long before Lu Shishi escaped from Khotan and Guo Xin ordered Guo Yuanzheng to send coins to Xizhou. It is logical that they could meet here, except that Lu Shishi was from Xuanwei Army. The plot is carefully studied.

Going through these in my mind, Lu Shishi has already touched Shen Long. Just like in the advertisement, Shen Long turned over and subdued Lu Shishi. Lu Shisi hurriedly begged for mercy, "Don't kill me! I'm just here to stutter. Yes! Lord Jun, spare me!"

Seeing his cowardly appearance, Shen Long did not despise him. He knew that Lu Shishi was damaged by the fall of Khotan, and he still had family letters from his comrades. Before delivering these family letters safely , he absolutely cannot die, so he would rather give up his dignity and bear the burden of humiliation.

"Get up!" Shen Long let him go, but did not reveal his true identity, but ordered him to collect military expenses, food, and drinking water with him, and take Lu Shishi on the road together.

Of course Lu Shishi was reluctant, but under Shen Long's persecution, he had to follow him to Xizhou. Of course, Shen Long alone had the confidence to send the military expenses to Xizhou safely. What he was worried about was Lu Fourteenth, now that the road from the Anxi Protectorate's Mansion to the Tang Dynasty has been occupied by Tubo, how easy is it for Lu Shisi to return to the Tang Dynasty alone?

Shen Long planned to send the military expenses to Xizhou, temporarily save Yang Xigu's army, and then return to Datang. At that time, he could bring Lu Shishi with him. As long as he was there, there was no need to worry about Lu Shishi's safety. go back.

Lu Shishi didn't understand Shen Long's good intentions. He originally wanted to go east, but was forced to go west by Shen Long. Naturally, he was unwilling and muttered as he walked, "Master, how can we go west? Where are you going with so much money on your back?"

Shen Long didn't answer, now is not the time to tell him the truth, the road to the west is difficult and long, and soon they ran out of water and food they collected, and after walking for a long time, a lonely desert appeared in the middle of the desert. The inn, the two came to the inn together.

Xiao Er came up to greet him, "Guest officers, the shop has newly brewed sweet wine and freshly slaughtered mutton."

Hearing this, Lu Shishi couldn't help but licked his tongue, and then looked at Shen Long. He felt that with so much money, he could buy some food to satisfy his hunger, right? Shen Long was unmoved,

Although he carried gold and silver in his portable space, he didn't want to affect the next plot because of this. He just asked the shopkeeper for two bowls of water to drink.

Lu Shishi picked up the bowl and poured it vigorously, and at the same time went to look at the wine and meat that the merchants ate, showing a very greedy look, but he didn't want to, the money bag hit the pillar, fell from his shoulder to the ground, and there was a clanging sound. The sound of coins, for a while, the inn was deadly silent. The merchant next to him immediately turned his eyes and looked them up and down.

Lu Shishi hurriedly collected the money and left the inn with Shen Long. After they left, two groups of people in the inn also followed, one of them was a merchant, and it didn't take them long to catch up with Shen Long and Lu Shishi.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes, Lu Shishi looked back and was so anxious that he was about to run away. Ever since the road leading to Datang was blocked, the order established by Anxi Dufu Mansion for many years has collapsed. In this cruel desert, killing, Robbery could happen at any time. He exposed his fortune in the inn just now, and then these people caught up immediately. What good thing could it be?

Shen Long turned around, pulled out the horizontal knife with one hand, grabbed Lu Shishi with the other, and looked at the group of people vigilantly. The group of merchants stood still, and the leader dismounted to show his goodwill, "We are merchants from the Tang Dynasty. , I haven't seen our soldiers for more than ten years..."

In fact, this sentence is also somewhat inappropriate. Although Tubo cut off the road leading to the four towns of Anxi in the Tang Dynasty, Guo Xin and Yang Xigu still led the army to garrison here. Maybe he has never seen the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, maybe what he really meant was that he hadn't seen the soldiers sent from the territory of the Tang Dynasty to the four towns of Anxi for more than ten years, right?

The leader of the businessman signaled his subordinates to hold dry rations and water bags and put them on the ground, further expressing his goodwill, and then asked expectantly, "Dare to ask the military lord, are the troops from Datang... come back from Chang'an?" His words also confirmed Confused Shen Long's conjecture.

Shen Long shook his head slowly, showing disappointment to Fang Fang, and asked again, "Does the military master have any news about Chang'an?"

Shen Long still shook his head, of course he knew the news about Chang'an, but the other party would be even more disappointed if he said it? The leader stepped back regretfully, and sighed, "This road is getting more and more difficult."

This is an inevitable thing. In the past, there was Anxi Protectorate to maintain order, so that they, the merchants of the Tang Dynasty, could travel safely. Now that the four towns of Anxi have fallen one after another, the forces occupying here do not understand the benefits of maintaining order. Businessmen are like fat sheep. How easy is it to do business now?

Then he turned around and got on his horse to salute, "Take care", and he was about to ride away after speaking.

Shen Long returned the salute and said loudly, "Everyone, don't worry, my Tang Dynasty will eventually regain Anxi, and let the glory of the Tang Dynasty continue to shine..."

The merchants all showed excited expressions, while Lu Shishi looked at Shen Long in surprise.
