Chapter 1238

In the afternoon of that day, the Qin army had already left Dunhuang for the western regions. This time, the troops were divided into four routes, while the more than 2000 soldiers Zhang Xiu was carrying were hiding behind the scenes and never exposed their tracks.

Especially Zhang Xiu's speed is faster.

From Dunhuang all the way to the west, the first country to arrive in the western regions is the mountain country.

This is a small country.

The capital city is called Moshan city. It has only two thousand troops and a population of only ten thousand. In particular, these ten thousand people are not the permanent population in Moshan city. In the real Moshan City, the population is no more than 6000 or 7000, and more than 3000 people gather around the Moshan City, either living in the mountains or scattered villages.

But now, there is no mountain country, and Moshan city has become a county of Kushan.

In Zhang Xiu's army, Li bengen, the prince of the mountain kingdom, stands out.

He was in his early twenties.

Originally, his father was old and dying, and liebengen was about to succeed the king of the mountain kingdom. But unexpectedly, the army of Kushan came to kill, the mountain kingdom was broken, his father died, and the people of the mountain kingdom were slaughtered countless times.

As a result, libengen was exiled in Dunhuang.

Now, it is controlled by Zhang Xiu.

After entering the mountain kingdom, Zhang Xiu's army called Li Ben Gen and asked, "Li Ben gen, the army led by me can't be found by the Kushan garrison of Mo mountain city. Can you find a way to let me cross the mountain kingdom quietly and enter the Western Weili kingdom?"

"There's a way!"

Liebengen answered immediately.

He knows Zhang Xiu. If he is useless to Zhang Xiu, he may be killed.

So he answered directly.

Zhang Xiu asked: "what method?"

Libogen replied, "in the southwest of our mountain country, there is a desert called almuhan. The length of this desert is about 130 miles. Because it is a desert, lack of water and vegetation, so very few people live, there is no one to go. But there is a road that can cross the desert

"As long as you cross the almuhan desert, you can bypass the Moshan city. Even if there is a garrison in Moshan City, it is impossible to find us. We will be safe then. "

"The only trouble is that it's hard to walk in the desert."

"It's hot after all."

Liebengen said: "Your Majesty, this journey is difficult. However, if you go through it, you can avoid sight. But please think twice about how to choose

He made suggestions.

Because at the moment, this is the most appropriate choice.

He did his best.

Zhang Xiu's eyes turned and thought carefully in her heart. In fact, it's not too difficult for an energetic army to travel more than 130 miles. Once you are on your way at full speed, you can cross the desert in a short time.

Even if it's difficult, it's not too big.

Zhang Xiu said: "in that case, we will cross the whole almuhan desert."

Worried about his own safety, he added, "Your Majesty, it's not easy to cross the almuhan desert. Especially in the desert, the wind and sand are very strong, so it is easy to lose the way. Even the desert is not easy to walk. So you have to be careful. "

Zhang Xiu's eyes narrowed up, examined Li bengen, and said: "even in the desert, there must be a way. You know, the road in the desert. "

"Libengen, as long as you take the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty and cross the almuhan desert smoothly."

"Well, I can promise to give you a mansion in Chang'an City and allow you to become an official. Although it is impossible for you to hold any particularly important position, it is enough to ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing, so that you can really have a foothold in Daqin. "

Zhang Xiu said, "have you ever thought about it?"

When Reuben heard this, he clenched his fist.

There was a look of expectation in his eyes, because today's libengen, though alive, has no freedom. Even Zhang Xiu promised that after the destruction of the western regions, they would be given honor and wealth.

But in fact, everyone was worried, and so was libengen. Now, in front of the officers and men of the Qin Dynasty, Zhang Xiu says that it is an opportunity to give him honor and wealth and let him have a foothold in the Qin Dynasty.

"Is your Majesty's promise true?" he asked

Zhang xiudao said: "I am the emperor of Qin Dynasty. I follow what I say. Since I have promised you, it must be true, and I will not deceive you

Libogen said, "OK, I'll do it. However, I can't rely on it. After all, I just went to the almuhan desert once, and I'm not familiar with the route. I need help finding the route. And the people I need to live near the edge of the almuhan desert. After we arrive, we need to visit and ask the other party to lead the way. Just let this person lead the way, need to give a certain amount of money. "

"No problem!"

Zhang Xiu nodded and answered directly.

Just pay a little money, you can cross the whole almuhan desert, all this is worth it.The army continued on their way to the almuhan desert.

Two days later, the army was less than half an hour away from the almuhan desert. Even now, there is little vegetation and few villages.

The army was temporarily stationed.

With Zhang Xiu and a group of soldiers, libengen quickly went to the place where the people he knew lived.

While walking, Li bengen introduced the situation to Zhang Xiu.

He knew a man named ould who lived on the edge of the almuhan desert for generations. After walking for half an hour, they finally arrived at the place where Wilde lived. In this area, there are more vegetation, a lot of shrubs and some vegetation. Only in such places can there be water.

Li Yuan came to the door and knocked on it.

"Dong! Dong

There was a knock at the door.

Soon after, the door opened and a thin, bearded, dark, sunken middle-aged man came out. But this person's age, also some old.

This is ould.

When he saw libengen, he was puzzled and even more alert, and said, "who are you looking for?"

Rigan said, "we are here to ask you to lead us across the almuhan desert. I've been looking for you before, and you've led me across the almuhan desert. This time, I hope you will lead us through the almuhan desert

When he heard this, the alert on his face faded.

It's something he does all the time.

From time to time, he was asked to lead the way, from which he could earn money.

"Since you are a regular customer, you should know that I have to be paid to lead the way. If you want me to lead the way for nothing, you can't. After all, there are many dangers in the almuhan desert

"No problem, as long as you can cross it, it's a small thing," said liebengen

Wurde's eyes swept over Zhang Xiu. Seeing that Zhang Xiu was dressed in extraordinary clothes, he said, "if you want me to take you, you'll get ten taels of gold this time."

Reuben frowned.

He used to, it was across the almuhan desert, know the price. This time, the price is much higher than that of Israel. However, in the root did not make up his mind, eyes turned, fell on the body behind Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "ten taels of gold is ten taels of gold. It's not a problem. As long as you take us across the almuhan desert, I can afford ten taels of gold. "

"Cheerfulness!"

When he heard this, Wilde had a smile on his face.

This time, I made a lot of money.

In fact, he also judged according to Zhang Xiu's face, because the momentum of Zhang Xiu was extraordinary. Such a person, must be a rich and noble generation, so he just opened his mouth.

Zhang Xiu said, "since it's decided, let's go."

"No problem, no problem!"

Wurde immediately packed up, took some supplies, and followed Zhang Xiu to the direction of the army. When wurde came to the barracks, he saw the troops around Zhang Xiu, especially the powerful people with black hair and yellow skin, and suddenly said, "you, are you the army of Daqin?"

For Daqin, wuld also knew.

Guishuang's army led more than 200000 troops to kill Daqin. After entering Dunhuang, they were finally killed by Daqin and lost their armour, so that the army was completely destroyed. Guishuang's emperor also fled back.

The whole western region knows the power of Daqin.

Daqin is stronger than Kushan.

So when he saw the troops of the Qin Dynasty, wuld's face changed slightly, and his face showed a look of fear. After all, he is an ordinary man. If he is killed, he will die in vain.

Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice: "yes, this is the army of the Qin Dynasty. Our army of Daqin, entering the mountain country, is to wipe out Kushan. Revenge for the people who died in the mountain country. "

Wuld nodded and said nothing.

There was still some uneasiness in his eyes.

Worry about your own safety.

Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice: "wuld, as long as you take my troops of Daqin and smoothly cross the almuhan desert, I will still give you ten taels of gold. Besides, if you're familiar with going west, I can still give you more money. "

"Really?"

Wilder was overjoyed.

This is an opportunity.

When he was young, he used to be a businessman, doing business everywhere. He knew the situation of the western regions like the back of his hand. It's easy for him to lead the way.

Zhang Xiu said: "nature is true, if you can give more suggestions to help the Qin army. Even I, Daqin, can give you some official positions. "

"I did it!"

Wilder answered directly.

He doesn't care whether it's true or not. Anyway, try it first. After all, it's an opportunity. If he meets the real one, it's carp crossing the dragon's gate. From then on, he has to live in poverty.This is an opportunity.

Wurde also had contact with the Han people in the Central Plains. There is a saying in the Central Plains called seeking wealth in danger. For ould, this time, although there is considerable risk, it is also an opportunity.

He wants to fight.

Zhang Xiu praised: "yes, you won't regret today's decision." Immediately, Zhang Xiu asked: "we are now close to the almuhan desert. When are we going to start? "
