Chapter 20, the first stop: Dunhuang

"Finally arrived in Dunhuang."

Fu Jiezi secretly sighed in his heart. Along the way, he only brought dozens of attendants, but the bride price he brought was extremely heavy. The little thief who heard the wind along the way also smelled the smell of money. Fortunately, Fu Jiezi was alert and skilled in martial arts, so he had to bring it to Dunhuang safely.

When I arrived at Dunhuang, my trip was half carried out.

"Cqiaoer!" Fu Jiezi didn't expect to see her as soon as he came to Dunhuang. He didn't expect that the world would be smaller than he thought, and it would always be easier for predestined people to meet.

"sister!" One person flashed out of the crowd, but Su Yu, Su Qiaoer's second brother. They had already left Fu Jiezi and his party for half a month, but on the one hand, because the road was unfamiliar, and on the other hand, they were difficult to get out of the customs, and they were actually driven up by Fu Jiezi and his party, so they went together.

"Second brother!" Su Qiaoer looked very surprised and ran over in a hurry, and the brother and sister pulled up their homes. Su Yu seemed very sensible. He chatted for a while and said, "Qiaoer, this is General Fu. You know each other. Don't just talk to me."

Fu Jiezi smiled and said, "Qiaoer, how's your father's situation?"

"Brother Fu, why did you come here? The Huns began to attack Dunhuang." Su Qiaoer wanted to jump into Fu Jiezi's arms and cry. These days, she has been frightened. Although Ali said she would protect her, she knew very well that this red-haired young man did not have enough ability to protect herself and her father.

Complaining, Su Qiaoer said, "My father is awake now, but he can't get up yet. Sitting on the couch and gambling with people every day. Speaking of this, I'm a little unhappy.

Fu Jiezi thought of Father Su's character, and he only had a few hobbies. He couldn't take care of some hobbies for a while, so he only had to gamble.

Su Qiaoer spoke while leading Fu Jiezi and his entourage to the library. Fu Jiezi asked the team to wait outside and followed Su Qiaoer in. At this time, Father Su was much better and could sit up on the couch with Su Qiaoer.

After waiting for the Su family to greet enough, Father Su seemed to think of something and said, "General Fu, are you going to Wusun to pick up the two ladies when you return to Dunhuang?"

Fu Jiezi frowned slightly, paused and said, "That's right. At the same time, I also came to pick up Father Su, you and Qiaoer.

Su Qiaoer said, "Brother Fu, do you still want to go to Wusun?"

Fu Jiezi nodded and said, "Yes."

"When will you leave?" Su Qiaoer asked eagerly.

"Today."

"Today, today?" Su Qiaoer can't turn her mind around.

Fu Jiezi nodded and said, "Yes, I'm leaving right away today." Speaking of this, he thought of the task of coming to the Western Regions this time, so he had to hurry as soon as possible. It is precisely because the journey is so fast that it catches up with the second brother of the Su family.

"Is it really so urgent?" Father Su's face was a little dark. He looked at Su Qiaoer and then at Fu Jiezi. Finally, he just sighed and said nothing more. He said, "Qiaoer, General Fu is busy. After such a long journey, who doesn't want to rest for ten days and a half months? General Fu has his own reason to hurry." Su Qiaoer looked at Fu Jiezi and stopped talking.

Fu Jiezi and Father Su and his entourage said for half an hour and got up and said, "Xiaoer, I'm going to the county guard to find the city owner." Su Qiaoer nodded and said, "I'll take you there. They are now at the head of the city. I'll let Ali lead the way. They won't let the woman go to the city, and I haven't been there."

Fu Jiezi was a little reluctant, but he still agreed and said, "Okay."

"Brother Fu, are you really in such a hurry to leave?" Su Qiaoer couldn't help asking again. Fu Jiezi said, "Yes, this time it's urgent. I can't wait, so I have to go as soon as possible."

"Oh, I see." Su Qiaoer looked depressed and took the way as if she had something to think about.

"Miss Su, you see, it's ahead. Lord Geng is on it. Alexis looked very nervous. There was no formal siege in this fashion, but the murderous atmosphere outside the city had made him feel it.

Fu Jiezi did not see the Xiongnu soldiers outside the city, but also sighed: "A lot of people! It's time to attack the city."

Su Qiaoer nodded and said, "Brother Fu, do you think the county guard can hold it?"

Fu Jiezi did not say anything. At this time, Alexis asked the soldiers outside for instructions. After a while, Geng Long, Geng Hu and several generals came down. Fu Jiezi asked Geng Long to invite all the generals back. At the same time, he also asked Su Qiaoer and Alexis to wait here and discuss with Geng Long and Geng Hu to a secluded place.

Geng Long was confused and said, "General Fu, we already know about the court. Just for the sake of Anto's army, we didn't spread the news for a moment. I don't know when the reinforcements of the court will arrive?"

Fu Jiezi shook his head and said, "There are no reinforcements for the time being."

As soon as this came out, Geng Long and Geng Hu were stunned. Geng Long was more anxious. Hearing this, he immediately exploded and said, "How can there be nothing? I, Dunhuang, have 30,000 defenders, and some of them are drawn from Jiuquan and Wuwei. There are 200,000 Xiongnu soldiers outside the city!"

Fu Jiezi said, "If today's court is unstable, there is not even an emperor, there is a lack of domestic food and fodder, and the political situation is unstable. Although the general has military power, he can't send troops without authorization. Dunhuang can only rely on himself."

Geng Long was furious and said, "General Fu, you know the situation in Dunhuang. How can you keep it for a long time with 30,000 enemies and 200,000 Xiongnu troops? And--" Geng Long thought and said, "According to what we have obtained, Loulan and the driver have the intention to borrow land from the Xiongnu to gather troops. If the Xiongnu occupy their feet in the western region, then our situation in Dunhuang will be even more difficult."

Fu Jiezi's face turned pale and said, "That's why I'm in a hurry to go to Loulan. Now in this kind of thing, Dunhuang's only foreign aid is also in the Western Regions.

Geng Long was stunned and said, "General Fu is talking about Zheng Ji's field army?"

Fu Jiezi said, "Yes, this is the only team."

Geng Long couldn't help laughing and said, "That team of hundreds of people?"

Fu Jiezi said, "General Geng, compared with the Xiongnu army, this team is indeed a drop in the bucket. However, this team has its particularity in it, just like a dragon. If it is big, it is cloudy and small, it is hidden. What if it can gather 50,000 soldiers from the countries in the Western Regions, plus 200,000 soldiers of Wusun?

Geng Long raised his head fiercely, and a trace of hope flashed in his eyes. Geng Hu said, "If the two armies of the Western Regions can go all the way, I can definitely defend it!" Geng Long also agreed to nod and said, "General Fu, did you come to the Western Regions this time for this?"

Fu Jiezi just smiled faintly and said, "That's right. I have to hurry and try to get to Loulan as soon as possible. Dunhuang is the first stop.
