Chapter 1008

In human history, the fastest marching speed record holder in the cold weapon era is the Mongolian Tuqi in the Genghis Khan era.

The average daily marching speed of Mongolian sudden cavalry can be maintained at about 90 to 95 kilometers.

When Huo Qubing and Wei Qing pursued the Xiongnu, the daily marching speed could also reach 80 to 100 kilometers.

As for the holder of the fastest Japanese marching speed, it was during the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty that the eight flag cavalry set a record of 180 kilometers per day.

The belus and his party were all like Mongolian sudden riders, each equipped with three horses. Under the constant urging of belus, they galloped to the East day and night.

Seven or eight thousand miles away, it took belus only more than a month to get outside Gaochang City, and its speed was comparable to that of Mongolia.

Naturally, Cheng Yaojin also knew Burrus. When Tongbing learned that Li forgetful's disciple, Prince Burrus of Persia, asked for an important meeting, the old rascal was also a little stunned.

When Cheng Yaojin ordered people to bring in the thin and almost out of shape pelus who had been driving hard for the past month, he was also startled.

"Prussia, how did you make yourself like this? Why don't you stay in Chang'an City? Why do you come to Gaochang city?" Cheng Yaojin didn't know that Prussia had returned to Persia, so he asked.

"I told you that half a year ago, I said goodbye to your majesty and your wife and returned to Persia." Prussia explained.

"Then why did you come to Gaochang city when you didn't go back to Persia?" Cheng Yaojin didn't understand.

Without explanation, Burroughs directly ordered someone to bring saluzi in: "Grandpa, look at this horse."

Because he was on his way continuously and ran seven or eight thousand miles, even if saluzi was such a BMW, he was tired and lost his fat, and his fur was not so bright, but Cheng Yaojin still recognized it at a glance.

The old rascal jumped up as if he had seen a ghost: "zhiniang thief, isn't this special mother saluzzi? Tell me where you found saluzzi? Since saluzzi is still alive, is Ziyou all right? Where is he now?"

Prussia smiled bitterly: "Grandpa, that's why I rushed to Gaochang city from Persia. Saluzi was also the reason why I unexpectedly found that it was sold to my hometown and just sold to my brother..."

It's a long story. Perlus no longer talks about it. He tells Cheng Yaojin everything he knows, pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

It turned out that the Persian businessman was forced to reveal the truth in the city of aldasher.

Saluzi was indeed brought back from the western regions by his caravan.

But it is not bought through any formal way, but "stolen goods"!

Due to the huge profits of East-West trade, the Silk Road in the western regions has attracted countless caravans to transport all kinds of precious goods and property back and forth.

To some extent, the silk road can be called the Golden Road, and the flowing caravans are like a flowing golden river.

Such a huge wealth not only attracts many caravans, but also attracts more thieves.

In addition to the challenges of nature such as sandstorm, quicksand and water shortage, the biggest enemy of the caravan is all kinds of bandits, mountain bandits and sand bandits in the western regions.

These thieves, sand thieves, often choose to raid the rest of the caravan at night, killing and robbing goods, which is very fierce.

However, no matter how vicious bandits, mountain thieves and sand thieves are, they can't eat or drink the gold, silver and jewelry they robbed. Therefore, these thieves and sand thieves who occupy the western regions have their own channels to sell the stolen goods.

Give the robbed gold, silver, jewelry and precious porcelain to the caravans that collude with them. The caravans sell these stolen goods and replace them with weapons, equipment, food, drinks and even women.

The Persian merchant who sold saluzi to arochon engaged in such activities.

According to his account, saluzi was collected by his caravan from a sand bandit gang named Heisha entrenched in the desert.

Because most sand thieves use camels as mounts, saluzi, even a rare horse, is of little use to sand thieves, so he handed it over to the caravan and asked them to sell the stolen goods on their behalf.

The owner of the caravan never expected that he would overturn because of a fine horse after colluding with sand thieves to sell stolen goods for more than ten years. He did not expect that Prince Pylos would recognize the horse from the East seven or eight thousand miles away from the western regions

Not to mention how the caravan owner regretted, and how yazdegald III would punish him, Cheng Yaojin's mouth was open enough to put his fist after hearing what pelus said.

"Zhiniang thief, SA Luzi fell into the hands of the sand thief? Is that worry also in the hands of the sand thief?"

Burroughs shook his head: "I don't know. The merchant doesn't know the whereabouts of the master. He just took the stolen goods from the sand thieves. They don't care about the origin of the stolen goods at all. But I suspect that the master lost his way and was accidentally captured by the sand thieves because of the sandstorm. Saluzi was handed over to the caravan by them to sell the stolen goods. The master may still be detained in the sand thieves' nest. Grandpa, I I'm anxious to come from my hometown because I want to ask my Lord to send troops immediately to attack the sand thief's nest and rescue the master. "

He was so anxious to come to Gaochang because he was worried that late would change.

In fact, whether Li forgets worry is still alive or not, Burroughs has no bottom in his heart.

In the style of sand thieves, there is no habit of keeping alive.

And now it has been fifteen or six months since Li forget you disappeared. Even if Li forget you is still alive, I don't know how much pain he has suffered. At the thought of this, Prussia was secretly anxious.

Cheng Yaojin's fierce expression of choosing people and swallowing them, roared angrily, "what kind of shit black sand thief, where is the nest? Do you know, burrows?"

Burrows nodded. "The merchant told me. It's said that it's an oasis called Swan Lake in the desert. There is the nest of sand thieves."

He reached out and took out a roll of parchment from his arms: "Grandpa, this is the map I asked the merchant to draw. Here is Swan Lake!"

Cheng Yaojin grabbed the parchment and looked at it carefully. He couldn't help cursing: "zhiniang thief is hiding so far away. No wonder more than 100000 troops haven't found it after searching for so long!"

As the fourth largest desert in China, Tengger desert is nearly 500 Li long from north to South and 300 Li wide from east to west.

The Swan Lake drawn on the map is two or three hundred miles away from the place where Li forgets to worry about the accident. It is already located in the territory of xueyantuo Khanate in Mobei.

The army searched everywhere in the desert, but it just searched the desert about a hundred miles around the origin, but it didn't expect saluzi to run to the sand thief's nest so far away.

Cheng Yaojin immediately ordered several guides to identify the specific location of the sand thief's nest on the map.

The guides said they were not familiar with the location marked on the map and could only try to lead the army forward.

In fact, this is also very normal. In the era of no satellite navigation, even the most experienced guides are only familiar with a few routes through the desert.

In the vast desert, there are life restricted areas everywhere. In addition, sand thieves are rampant. These guides don't know the specific route. It's normal.

Cheng Yaojin was annoyed to see that the guides were not sure about the specific location of the sand thief's nest.

"Zhiniang thief, you can't control so many! Come on, send someone 800 miles to deliver the news back to Chang'an city immediately! I'll take someone there myself. I don't believe those shit sand thieves can turn the sky!"

Cheng Yaojin is worried about Li forgetful's safety. After handing over the affairs of the western regions to Niu JINDA and Xue Wanjun, he personally leads 10000 iron cavalry to return to the desert, ready to attack the sand thief's nest and rescue Li forgetful
