Chapter 1006 Heading to Chang'an
Find Yang Xigu, introduce Lu Shishi's situation to him, and then Shen Long cups his hands and says, "Captain, it has been more than 20 years since news of Anxi, Beiting and the Central Plains have been cut off. Missing relatives at home, right? If not the guardian, let them write a letter to the family and let Brother Lu take it back with him."
This is a good thing that can boost morale. Of course Yang Xigu would not refuse, so he ordered the military Chinese secretary to help the soldiers write family letters. He also praised Lu Shishi's behavior, "He is really a righteous man!"
Lu Shishi waved his hands again and again, and the circles of his eyes began to turn red again, "Little man... the villain is just a deserter, the villain is already flattered by the general guard for not punishing me, I can't deserve such praise from the general guard!"
All Yang Xigu's subordinates who could write were sent out together, and they worked all day. They filled two boxes full of family letters. Even Yang Xigu and the generals of the Xizhou Army also wrote family letters to get rid of Lu Shisi go back.
But when these letters were packed and put on the horse's back, Lu Shishi couldn't help showing embarrassment. There were too many letters. It would be difficult for him to send all these letters back to Chang'an by himself. It's thousands of miles away, and the journey is dangerous. It's hard to say whether he can go back safely, let alone with so many letters.
Yang Xigu also saw it. He gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't think carefully. Brother Lu went alone. I'm afraid I won't be able to bring so many letters. Brother Lu still left the family letter of the Xizhou Army, and only brought you the declaration. Let Wei Jun's family letter go on the road!"
"Guardian!" The generals and soldiers around pleaded one after another. They have cut off news from their family for many years, and today they finally have an opportunity to communicate with their family. No one wants to miss it.
"Guardian, it's really not easy for Brother Lu to carry letters to Chang'an alone. Why don't you let me go with Brother Lu! By the way, you can also tell the imperial court and let the imperial court know that our soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty are still guarding the Western Regions!" Feeling The time has come, Shen Long stood up, and he also wanted to use this opportunity to go back to Chang'an.
Firstly, he wanted to find an opportunity to persuade Jieyujiasi not to attack for the time being on the way, so as to keep Yang Xigu's two thousand troops; secondly, he hoped to bring back some morale-boosting orders from Chang'an; thirdly, he also wanted to use Chang'an's influence to enhance his status in the Anxi Protectorate, so that he can exert greater influence in the Anxi Army.
Logically speaking, if Shen Long wants to return to Chang'an, he must first go back to Kucha to obtain Guo Xin's permission. Agreed, and then Yang Xigu passed the news to Guo Xin, the king of Wuwei County and the guardian of Anxi.
Yang Xigu discussed with the generals, and out of his desire for family letters, he agreed to Shen Long's request, and then wrote a letter, ordered someone to bring it to Guo Xin, and then personally sent Shen Long and Lu Fourteen left the east gate of Xizhou City and watched them set foot on the road to Chang'an.
"Brother Guo, I have to trouble you to take care of him again this time!" Lu Shisi said to Shen Long. He had seen Shen Long's martial arts before, and felt that with Shen Long together, his chances of returning to Chang'an would be a little higher.
"If it wasn't for Brother Lu, I wouldn't have the chance to go back to Chang'an!" Shen Long replied, and then the two rode and led two horses towards Yiwu City. "The front is the territory of the Tubo people. , we have to be careful."
When you arrive at Yiwu City, you have to go further east, passing through Guazhou, Yumenguan, Suzhou, Ganzhou, Liangzhou, Lanzhou, and Weizhou, which originally belonged to the Tang Dynasty but are now occupied by Tubo, in order to enter the land of the Tang Dynasty. Fengxiang Mansion, back to Chang'an; this road is the territory of the Tubo people, so Shen Long and Lu Shishi both changed their clothes.
With Shen Long leading the way,
He could observe the front through the eagles in the sky and avoid the Tubo people all the way, so the first day was relatively safe. The two of them walked for more than two hundred miles without much trouble. When night fell, Shen Long and Lu Shi Four arrived outside the city of Shanshan.
Now the two of them still had a lot of food and drinking water left. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they did not go into the city, but found a secluded place outside the city to prepare for rest.
"Brother Lu, you rest first, I'll be on duty at night!" After setting up the tent, Shen Long asked Lu Shisi to rest first, and soon after, Lu Shisi's snoring sounded, Shen Long looked around and found that there was nothing After being able to threaten their situation, they quietly flew into the air on somersault clouds and flew towards the station of Jieyujiasi's army.
When he arrived at Jieyujiasi's army, Shen Long sneaked into the camp incognito, found several generals and asked them using their mind-taking, and found out where Jieyujiasi's camp was. In his dream, he warned him, then left quietly, returning to the outside of Shanshan City.
Today's Huihe believed in Ming religion, and Shen Long manifested the image of Great Ming Zun in Jieyujiasi's dream to persuade him to suspend the attack on Beiting, hoping that this method would slow down his marching speed and temporarily keep Yang Xigu's army.
A few days later, when Shen Long and the others arrived at Yiwu City, he sneaked back to the Jieyujiasi camp again, and found that the Huihe army still hadn't gone north, but showed some intention of returning to the army, which made Shen Long Long breathed a sigh of relief, no matter whether it was the news of Huihe Khan's replacement, or because of what he had done in Jieyujiasi's dream, at least Yang Xigu's two thousand soldiers and horses still had Xizhou City. Temporarily saved.
As long as they persist until they come back from Chang'an, then even if Jie Yujiasi wants to enter Beiting again, Shen Long doesn't have to worry too much about Yang Xigu's failure.
"Guazhou is ahead! Shall we go into the city to get some food?" Lu Shisi asked while looking ahead. After walking for so many days, all the food and drinking water they brought with them from Xizhou had been consumed. up.
"No need!" Shen Long pretended to lie on the ground and listened for a while, then said, "It seems that there are thieves in front of us, there are about five people, we will go and clean them up, food and drinking water will naturally be available!"
Lu Shishi clenched his horizontal knife tightly, and surrounded him with Shen Long on the left and right. They saw a few thieves chasing and intercepting a monk from a distance, and they rushed out immediately, waiting for Lu Shishi to finish off the thieves in front of them. Afterwards, he saw that Shen Long had finished packing up the other four thieves and was leading their horses back.
"Master, I'm shocked!" Seeing that the monk looked a bit like a Tang Dynasty man, Shen Long stepped forward to say hello.
"The poor monk Wukong thanked the two benefactors!" However, the monk's answer surprised Shen Long.
