Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 377
"Last general Xue Rengui, see the princess!" Xue Rengui saluted solemnly.

"General Xue is free, thank you General for coming to greet you, but you and your husband are good friends, and you can just call me sister-in-law in the future." Guang'an took off the cloak on his head to protect him from the wind, sand and sun, and said to Xue Rengui gently.

"Yes! I would like to follow my wife's instruction." Xue Rengui clasped his fists and said.

"Okay, Rengui will take us to find a place to camp. We haven't had a good rest in the desert for several days." Feng Daiwen greeted Xue Rengui with a smile when he saw that Xue Rengui was very reserved.

Xue Rengui breathed a sigh of relief, got up on his horse and said, "Brother Feng, please come with me, there is a water source more than ten miles away, just right to set up camp."

Feng Daiwen and Xue Rengui walked over, and the [-] cavalry scattered to the two sides automatically, looked at Feng Daiwen adoringly, and shouted loudly: "See the chief!"

Because Guang'an traveled as Feng Daiwen's wife and did not play the princess banner, no one saluted her, and few people knew that she was coming.

The group of people soon came to the water source under the escort of the cavalry. There was an oasis at the foot of the hill. Many kinds of poplars stood tall and straight around. The green bushes made the travelers who had just left the desert feel very comfortable. I want to come to this kind of mood when there is rain after a long drought.

The army set up camp, Feng Daiwen led Guang'an, Yaya, and Ao Meice to the top of the hill, and was escorted by Xue Rengui, Xia Chuyue, Chen brothers and others to watch the sunset in the desert.

Watching the sunrise in the desert, you will feel beautiful, beautiful and magnificent for the first time, but you will feel desolate in the future. The ancient desert is lifeless, and it has been affected by the war all the way, and no caravan has encountered it. It was even more desolate. Fortunately, they just crossed the edge of the desert, and it was not too far away. Otherwise, for those who entered the desert for the first time, the surroundings were barren, with sand all around, as if there was no way out, and the mental pressure was quite high. big.

But now when I walk out of the desert, I look back at the sunset. Under the setting sun, it is golden yellow, and the water source of the oasis is shining with green light.

People who live in the alleys of the city all the year round and in deep houses and large courtyards, when they step out of that world and face the vast nature, they feel naturally comfortable.

The girls in Guang'an were pointing and smiling from time to time, and even Xia Chuyue, who was always indifferent, smiled rarely.

Looking back at Feng Daiwen's unexpected gaze, Xia Chuyue immediately regained her indifference, but the rosy glow on her face betrayed her deeply, obviously her heart was not as indifferent as the surface, it was just a disguise of her self-protection .

Everyone below the hill has started to boil water for cooking. Since Feng Daiwen's troops strictly forbid eating raw water, many people will be responsible for boiling water every time they set up camp.

One side of the camp was surrounded by a curtain, which was used by the military doctors and nurses to take a bath after dark. As for the rough soldiers in the army, they lined up to fetch water and found a remote place to take a bath.

As long as there are conditions, Feng Daiwen will never allow his soldiers to be sloppy, and daily bathing is a must.

After the meal, Feng Daiwen was sitting in the tent with hot tea, and asked Xue Rengui who was sitting next to him: "You know, how is the situation in the Western Regions recently?"

"There was chaos, Qiemo, Shanshan, Shache, and Shule jointly attacked Khotan, and Qiuci and Wusun joined forces to attack the nine surnames of Zhaowu. Other small countries are also taking the opportunity to attack, intending to expand their territories. There are also many tribes. I also want to occupy the city and establish a country, but there are horse thieves who are obstructing it and taking advantage of it everywhere, Che Shi and Yanqi are under the care of our Tang Dynasty, and there is no turmoil." Xue Rengui shook his head, pointing to the map of the Western Regions on the table and introduced.

"Let's just be chaotic. There are chances to make a fortune in troubled times. Where is Big Brother Su stationed now?" Feng Daiwen said indifferently. Anyway, no matter how you deal with the Western Regions, it is rare to have a country with an army of more than [-], and the beliefs are chaotic. It is really rare to go one by one. conquest.

"Here! Xiqiele City, since the war last year, the merchants and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty have gathered here. They are not far from Cheshi and Yanqi, and they just support each other." Xue Rengui pointed to the map.

"Okay, it's been a long day of hard work, Rengui, you should rest early, and we will discuss together when we get to the place." Feng Daiwen compared his hands on the map, and then said to Xue Rengui with a smile.

"Well, brother Feng, you should go to bed earlier!" Xue Rengui got up and said goodbye.

…………

On the first day of June in the sixth year of Zhenguan, Fuluochuan City of Tuyuhun was besieged by the Tang Dynasty for three months. The Murong family Murong Ao led Che Zhong and several other tribes to kill Tuyuhun King Fuyun, and Kaesong surrendered.

Hou Junji took Fuluochuan lightly, and at the same time passed on the two cities of Xiehan and Bailan. Both cities fell in the same month. Fuyun's son, Fushun, captured hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep. Although there were more than 20 herdsmen, most of his relatives were in Fuluochuan. Under the leadership of the new Tianzhu King, the Tianzhu tribe fled to Tibet.

In the middle of the same month, the good news came to Chang'an, and Li Shimin was overjoyed. He decreed to change the Qinghai Road, and more than [-] people who happened to be relocated to the Yangtze River moved there. The text went to serve as the deputy governor and took charge of the government.

At the same time, the original Tuyuhun people were divided into two, half of them were moved to Longyou Road led by Li Daozong, and Qinghai Horse Farm was set up to raise war horses.

The original Tuyuhun soldiers selected [-] elite soldiers and mixed them up to lead Hou Junji, because they were more adaptable to the plateau climate. The rest of the soldiers were all disarmed and returned to the fields. All the nobles and generals were escorted to Chang'an.

This is the experience summed up by the Tang Dynasty. As long as all the officials and rich people are taken away, the remaining people will be very easy to manage. They don't care much about who is the official or the king, as long as they are good to them A little bit is enough, a little bit is really good, and the requirements are not high.

Not to mention the powerful Datang, everyone must hope that their country is strong, this is the biggest backer, a strong country can bring a stable life.

With the end of the battle of Tuyuhun, merchants who couldn't wait, like sharks smelling blood, swarmed in, bringing countless supplies and commodities, and exchanged for the fur, cattle, sheep, wool, and goat milk of the people of Tuyuhun. There are also dedicated workshops acquisition.

In a short period of time, the people of Tuyuhun felt that their lives were much happier. The various daily necessities such as canned fruits, frosting sugar, and clothes that were already common in the Tang Dynasty opened their eyes and improved their quality of life. This was also because they belonged to In the occupied area, the exchange price is not too high, but for merchants, the exchange price is several times higher than that sold to the people of the Central Plains, which is why they flock to it.
