Chapter 23, enter Guzi, Wulei City
In the morning of the second day, the Han army set up and joined the Han army for about half a day. Zheng Ji has learned that Fu Jiezi and his party are coming. He has been waiting in the area of Heifengya for a long time. This is already the border of Guizi. Because there are mountains blocking each other, relevant cards have been set up.
Fu Jiezi asked the big man to temporarily go to the Han army camp to rest, and then thought about the way tortoise. Zheng Ji asked Fu Jiezi to discuss the matter and said, "General Fu, now the Xiongnu army has withdrawn from Guizi. I heard that there is a contradiction within the Xiongnu royal court. There is only Guizi's army here. Without the will of the general, we can't cross the border."
Fu Jiezi said, "What if the caravan goes out?" Zheng Ji said, "Now there is also a dispute in Guizi because of the Xiongnu's subordination, and the country is relatively chaotic, so the commercial road is temporarily blocked." This is undoubtedly a huge blow to Father Su.
"But I can send someone to tell the translator at the border that the mission of the Han Dynasty will come and hope they will let you go." Zheng Ji saw that Fu Jiezi was a little anxious.
Fu Jiezi smiled and said, "That's good. It is said that the emperor of the great man wants to establish friendship with the king of Guizi, and I think the king of Guizi will let us cross the border. Zheng Ji immediately sent people to spread the biography. Guizi is much bigger than Loulan, and it will take a while to go there.
The Han army was temporarily waiting for news. The Han delegation was invited by Zheng Ji to rest in the best military tent. Fu Jiezi went to the army to check the military appearance with Zheng Ji. Fu Jiezi found that Zheng Ji was obviously different from himself. Fu Jiezi was strict with his subordinates and was not very friendly. Everyone respected him because of his military prestige and achievements in the war. For Zheng Ji, his subordinates affectionately called him "Big Zheng". They climbed their shoulders and drank together, and even invited him to drop the glue every now and then, and they never did it without mercy. Whether it was a general or a soldier, they dared to compete with Zheng Ji.
Fu Jiezi was born in the aristocracy and has been aristocratic since he was a child. He is less sympathetic to his subordinates, while Zheng Ji is from a civilian background and is obviously much more kind to his subordinates. Zheng Ji said, "General Fu, General Alk's army is 280 miles away, with 30,000 troops. It seems that it wants to take advantage of the civil strife and capture it in one breath."
Fu Jiezi couldn't help frowning and said, "The ambition of the country is not small, but I'm afraid it's not easy. Xiao Zheng, do you know what hatred there is between Jingjue and Guizi? Zheng Ji said, "This is not clear. It seems that it has been repeated for decades. It is said that the first dispute is because of the border." Speaking of this, Zheng Ji paused for a moment and said, "General Fu, what should we do if Jingjue really goes to war with Guizi?"
Fu Jiezi's face was cold and said, "This is a matter within the Western Regions. We should not be too many things, and it is a taboo for soldiers for no reason!" Zheng Ji said, "I listen to General Fu. Although we fought under the banner of chasing the Xiongnu this time, its original intention was to support the elite. I also felt that it was a little inappropriate to use the army of the Han Dynasty to interfere in the great politics of other countries.
Fu Jiezi said, "You have to ask General Geng for instructions on this matter, and you need General Sima's consent before sending troops. Xiao Zheng, you must not send troops rashly. You will misunderstand the big thing.
Zheng Ji nodded, like an obedient soldier, not a majestic general.
Then Zheng Ji said, "General Lou Lanbing, who protects the car, is also in our Han army. General Fu, would you like to go and have a look?" Fu Jiezi was overjoyed. At present, he and Zheng Ji went to see the car guard. The general of the car guard looked very depressed. He could not save the king. After the Xiongnu soldiers retreated from the territory of Guizi, he could not pass through Guizi. Now he is very anxious and is asking Loulan City for instructions.
He stayed in the Han army for three days. Father Su was a little anxious. Although the money spent on martial arts and the groom was certain for his goods to stay here, the cost of eating and drinking every day was important, and his profit would be one point less if he stayed one more day. Su Qiaoer doesn't care about this. She knows that her father is already very rich, and it doesn't matter if there are more or less. She only cares about whether she is unhappy today and whether there is anything annoying.
There are some annoying things, and the final words are a little difficult to learn. She felt that she was too stupid. She could fluently answer some daily communication terms with Ali, but the final words seemed a little difficult. How could she stay with Fu Jiezi if she didn't learn it? This is her motivation for learning.
Su Wei teaches Su Qiaoer until very late every day, which makes Yuantong a little helpless. Su Wei always feels tired of being around, and he misses him when he is not somewhere in his body for a while.
Fu Jiezi also learned exquisite words from Su Wei when he was idle. After all, he didn't pay attention to it and learned it in a mess, which greatly increased Su Qiaoer's self-confidence. The Persian girl Luo Ya is the best with Su Qiaoer. Su Qiaoer finally found a girl smaller than herself, became the eldest sister and took good care of Luo Ya.
Roya seems to be no different from ordinary girls. The only difference is that she likes to sleep. She is not sleeping for a few hours all day long, but she also has a skill that makes Su Qiaoer envious. Roya can speak more than 50 different languages, and each language is quite proficient, so that Su Qiaoer She didn't see the language she learned at all.
Su Qiaoer asked Su Wei, and Su Wei smiled and said, "I'm afraid you have only seen a little bit of this mother's ability." Su Wei pinched the tip of his little thumb and gave a sign.
Early the next morning, Lu Ming came to report that the prince returned to the Xiongnu!
Fu Jiezi was shocked and hurriedly said, "What did he do to the Xiongnu? Do you want to do the opposite again?" Lu Ming said, "The messenger of the ancient god king has arrived. If necessary, I will call him." Fu Jiezi answered. After a while, Lu Ming brought a messenger. This messenger was not someone else, but the old housekeeper of the ancient god king. Fu Jiezi had seen him when he was in Loulan.
As asked by Fu Jiezi, the old housekeeper said, "Prince Angui proposed to make himself a proton and return to the king because Lou Lanbing could not save the king for a long time." Fu Jiezi was stunned and said, "In this way, isn't Loulan going to belong to the Xiongnu?" Does General Geng know about this?
The old housekeeper said, "The prince was also worried that the messenger would be suspicious, so he sent the old man to return to the Xiongnu in exchange for the king. Moreover, Wei Tuqi will also be sent to Chang'an as a proton. Loulan just wants to live a peaceful life and does not want to intervene in the dispute between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu."
Fu Jiezi paused for a moment and said, "Is General Geng still in Loulan?" The old butler said, "Yes, General Geng is still in Loulan City and will not leave until the king is rescued."
Fu Jiezi said, "Has Prince An Gui set out?" The old housekeeper said, "When the general asked, I'm afraid Prince Angui has left the driver. In two days, Prince Angui can return to the king."
Fu Jiezi saw the old housekeeper's expression and immediately understood and said, "Is this what the ancient god king taught you?" The old housekeeper couldn't help but be stunned and said, "General Mingjian. The prince did say so." The ancient god king did not want Loulan to intervene in the dispute between the two countries, so he came first and then played. When Fu Jiezi got the news, it would be too late.
What made Fu Jiezi a little suspicious was that the ancient god king sent the two princes outside, and the king had no power and power outside. What did the ancient god king want to do?
Fu Jiezi made people entertain the old housekeeper and went back to discuss things with Yuantong and Huo Yi. The message of Guizi has not been followed. Fu Jiezi asked Lu Ming to urge him for a while. He didn't want to be the translator, but he told Lu Ming that there is a civil strife in Guizi in China, and the messenger he sent has not come back yet. Maybe he hasn't seen anyone yet. Please wait for a while.
Fu Jiezi had nothing, but Father Su scolded and looked very restless. Zheng Ji also waited for Geng Long's will here, but he didn't get any news. He usually gathered here to train troops. The large army consumed a day outside, which was a great expense. If it took a long time, the Han army would be forced to retreat.
General Chehu was summoned back by the ancient god king. Before leaving, he deliberately came to resign with Fu Jiezi and took Loulan people to leave the Guizi border detour north and went straight to the driver. Five days later, the translator of Guizi finally got the approval and ordered people to prepare a banquet to invite Fu Jiezi and his party to enter the country of Guizi.
Fu Jiezi was overjoyed and asked the Han envoy to enter Guizi after thanking the translator. Lu Ming was a little worried and said, "General, Guizi is a vassal of the Xiongnu. Will it be dangerous for us to go in like this?" Fu Jiezi had already thought about this matter and said, "With the army of the Han Dynasty here, Guizi dare not move around, and my Han's national strength is getting better and better, and the Xiongnu has just been beaten away. The State of Guizi has already learned this news for a long time. At most, they just ignore us and won't do anything to us."
There are still many doubts among the Han people. Fu Jiezi ordered to follow him into Guizi without fear of death, and followed Zheng Ji's army back for fear of death. As a result, no Han people stayed and followed him into Guizi Kingdom.
Guizi Country occupies a relatively large area. Fu Jiezi's Han envoy took a day to enter Wulei City. This is a relatively prosperous city in Guizi. The translator asked Fu Jiezi's Han envoy to rest here for one night and then rush to Guizi City tomorrow. He has sent someone to inform the king and let Fu Jiezi to be here. Wait for the news of the king.
As soon as Father Su arrived in Wulei City, he wanted to go out of the city to check the customs. Huo Yi immediately cheered. He originally came to the Western Regions for the customs. There were too many things on Loulan's trip, and he didn't see much local customs. Now after a period of calm, his mind rose again, but there was another layer. It means that it is for Su Qiaoer's sake.
The climate of Guizi is relatively warm, rich in hemp, wheat, grapes, pears and peaches. What people pay more attention to is the production of good horses and cattle. There are mines in the mountains, so gold, copper, iron and other smelting and casting industries are famous in the Western Regions. And because it is on the main line of the Silk Road and the transit trade is developed, Guizijin is also quite famous. Father Su always runs to the Western Regions. Naturally, he also knows these things. Now the silk road of things is temporarily blocked because of the war, and the silk cloth needed by Guizi has no other denomer. He can just sit on the ground and sell part of it here. By the way, he will resign the extra groom and spend less money. More importantly, he wants to find old Jia and other Han people!
Yuantong is a Taoist Fangshi. After discussing with Su Wei, he came up with the idea of Guizi wine and thought of looking for several recipes among the people. More than 20 years ago, Zhang Qian brought back the wine preparation method from the Western Regions, which has long been popular in the Han Dynasty, but Yuantong pays attention to exploration. I want to find some of the purest prescriptions from Guizi, so I also want to go with Father Su. Fu Jiezi thought that the safety in Guizi was uncertain, and it was better not to walk around, but he also wanted to get some of the most essential information in Guizi, such as the impression of the civilian population of the Xiongnu and the big Han, and some policies of the Xiongnu in Guizi, so he also went out with them. For the sake of safety, Fu Jiezi left Lu Ming and most of the people to guard in Bash (the post station), without any guards, and followed Father Su's caravan out to walk around Wulei City.
Father Su is a living map in their group. He took everyone to the city to have a look. No Han man can be seen in the city. At this time, Loulan is the closest to the Han Dynasty, and because of the queen, there are more Han people, but from the west of Guizi, Han people are rarely seen. As soon as Father Su walks in the city It is very eye-catching.
Su Qiaoer looked at some strange people all over the world, and her heart was a little scared. She leaned next to Fu Jiezi and seemed a little surprised. Fu Jiezi had already anticipated these possible situations, but at this time it was still a little unnatural, as if she was a big monkey playing tricks in the crowd, Father Su Getting used to the Western Region Road, I don't feel anything. The language of Guizi is similar to Loulan, but the local sounds of Guizi are very difficult to understand. Father Su sent several Loulan Mafu who can speak Guizi to inquire about the people in the city about the situation of the Han people and the addresses of some brocade shops.
Huo Yi looked at the scenery all the way and suddenly pointed to a very beautiful group of buildings. There were dozens of large and small buildings, with different heights, surrounded by red and green fragrance, and said, "Mr. Su, what is this place?" Father Su looked at the building group in front of him and said with emotion, "General Huo, this is really a good vision. This is a good place, haha, a good place!"
Huo Yi was stunned and said, "Good place? Where the hell is it?" Yuantong is an old world. He saw it at a glance and said with a smile, "Huo, only adults are allowed to enter here, and children are not allowed to enter."
Father Su laughed and said, "The Taoist priest is good to see. This is a good place!"
Yuantong felt sorry for each other and said, "It's a good place!" While talking, his eyes were aimed at Su Wei.
Father Su also understood and laughed and said, "Taoist priest, the wine produced here, with exotic flavor, is simply agar in the world. Why don't we go in and try it?" Yuantong laughed.
Seeing that her father did not mean to let Fu Jiezi go, Su Qiaoer whispered, "Father, would you please let General Fu go?"
Father Su's face suddenly changed and he shouted, "What nonsense is the little girl talking about!" I don't know the weight!" Yuan Tong laughed and said, "Girl, outgoing, this elbow is going to turn out. Haha, Xiaofu, Lao Su and I will go for a walk. You can walk in the city first and come to you later." After saying that, the two of them are going to plunge in.
Su Qiaoer was very wronged. She didn't know where her father wouldn't let Fu Jiezi in and scolded herself for no reason. At this time, Su Wei's face sank and shouted, "Old man, you dare to go into the kiln to see if I still ignore you!" After saying that, he was angry and was about to leave.
Yuan Tong hurriedly turned back and said with a smile, "Lao Su, poor Tao is not so comfortable. You'd better go by yourself."
Su Qiaoer's face suddenly turned red when she heard this, and she stamped her little feet angrily and said, "Dad, you are really! You are not allowed to go either!" Fu Jiezi looked at Father Su and shook his head helplessly. This old man was such a failure that he wanted to go to the kiln in front of his daughter!
Father Su was very dissatisfied with Su Wei. He blamed her for speaking thoroughly, hummed and said, "I won't go, I won't go!" Su Qiaoer showed her face. Looking at Fu Jiezi, she still felt that he was really not as ridiculous as her father, but she was a little disappointed when she thought about it. This person was so real that she did not surpass herself at all, even a little bit.
Thinking of this, she felt that she had also become bad. How could she think so?
