Chapter 32, Shan Shan
The next day, the queen finally successfully merged into the royal mausoleum and united with the old king in this beautiful mountain and water forever.
Fu Jiezi and Geng Hu, as well as Che Hu and most of Lou Lan's nobles, all attended the ceremony. The general of Che Hu's attitude towards Geng Hu was very bad a few days ago. After this time, he also felt a little sorry and came to Geng Hu. Geng Hu knew that he was the queen's most reliable general in her lifetime, and he didn't care. Che Hu agreed to the building. Lan sent troops, but Hu Hou also agreed before his death. Lou Lan's situation was almost settled, and the envoys of various countries who were still trapped in Loulan also agreed to send troops under Zheng Ji's strong contact request.
As soon as the queen's matter was over, Geng Hu came to resign and was eager to rush back to Dunhuang. Fu Jiezi wrote a letter and asked Geng Hu to take it back overnight. Needless to say, his affectionate money was mainly to make Su Qiaoer pay attention to protecting herself. Geng Hu resigned Fu Jiezi and Loulan's ministers, and rushed back to Dunhuang at dawn. Zheng Ji's matter was quickly over and agreed with other countries to join forces and converge in Guizi.
What Fu Jiezi has to do now is to sit in Loulan and wait for Wei Tuqi to return to China to succeed to the throne, but the waiting days are bitter, and the most difficult thing for him to reassure him is the safety of Gunia and Pan Youyun, or Huo Yi.
After shaking for more than 20 days, Loulan suddenly came an urgent report. Wei Tuqi met the Xiongnu army on the way back to Loulan. All the personnel retreated to Shanshan and dared not go to Loulan again.
The general got the news and sent 3,000 Lan soldiers to march south to rescue, but the return was surprising news. Geng Long, the owner of Dunhuang City, was shot by the poisonous arrows of the Xiongnu and was seriously injured. Wei Tuqi was escorted out of the city under the escort of Geng Hu and was blocked in the Shanshan area by the Xiongnu.
The situation in Dunhuang is in danger.
Fu Jiezi first thought of Su Qiaoer.
But at this time, he had no choice but to care about the situation of Loulan and Dunhuang every day. Loulan can't wait like this. Fu Jiezi discussed with Yuantong and Zhao Xiong and decided to drive to Shanshan with the army of car protection. When he got there to learn about the specific situation, Su Wei was unwilling. He just wanted Fu Jiezi to rush to Wusun as soon as possible, but he still agreed to go to Shanshan with them.
General Chehu rushed to Shanshan in person this time, so Fu Jiezi also accompanied him. According to the news provided by Chehu, there were 20,000 Xiongnu soldiers surrounding Shanshan, and Shanshan was not dangerous to defend. These days, he was desperately trying to build a city defense, and most of Loulan's soldiers also rushed to the Shanshan area.
Shan Shan.
It's not far south of Loulan, but it has to walk for several days. When the army of car guards arrived, it was already full of corpses. The whole Shanshan area was bleak. The originally not decent Shanshan area is also increasing in scale because of this war. First of all, the city defense has expanded more than ten times, and the city wall is also short. In a short half month, it increased by three feet, and the sentries and arrow towers in the city stood one after another, presenting an unprecedented bustle and hustle.
Fu Jiezi and several people were arranged to live by the subordinates of the car guard. Fu Jiezi asked Yuantong and Su Wei to go first, and the car guard saw the city defense clearly and came back. After a general look, the general was indeed the general who guarded the city. Although he did not personally supervise the work, his soldiers built the city defense in an orderly manner.
Originally, Lieutenant Tu Qi could return to Loulan, but at this time, the Xiongnu had already used troops to Loulan. If he left at this time, Shanshan would not be able to defend it. At that time, Loulan would become an isolated building, so the car guard not only did not pick up Lieutenant Tu Qi back, but also rushed over and vowed to defend Shanshan. .
The city defense was almost done, and a subordinate of the car guard came to pick up Fu Jiezi to see Wei Tu Ji.
This is another embarrassing thing. Although Wei Tujiu already knows about this matter, Fu Jiezi still finds it difficult to face Wei Tuji. After all, An Gui is his brother. Che Hu guessed Fu Jiezi's thoughts and said, "General Fu, maybe Wei Tuqi would like to thank you. Without you, he could not become a king and could only be hostage in Chang'an for the rest of his life. I think this is what Captain Tu Qi has thought about.
Fu Jiezi sighed and said, "I'm not afraid to see him, but I feel ashamed of the queen. General Chehu, if it's you, can you do it?"
Few outsiders knew about the car guard's mind. Hearing Fu Jiezi's question, he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "I can't do it. General Fu, this may be the reason why I can never achieve great things. Last time I raised the army, if I hadn't been soft, I would have succeeded.
Fu Jiezi sighed and said, "General Che Hu, you and I are not people who want to make achievements, but the situation is compelling. There are some things we don't want to do, but we have to do, and once we do it, we have to do it to the end no matter whether it is right or wrong. I have already thought about it. As soon as the Western Regions is over, I will resign and take my family to Chang'an to return to the north.
The car guard said with a wry smile, "I'm afraid I don't have such a good life as General Fu. After being a soldier for half my life, I can't do anything without this, and Loulan is now in critical condition. I just want to protect Loulan safely, which can be regarded as a burden to live up to the old king and queen.
While talking, I have arrived at a large temple in the city, which was built by the disciples of Elder Lingquan during Shanshan's mission. The official said, "Fu Guohou, General Fu, this is your majesty's temporary palace, which was given to your majesty's disciples to live in. Your Majesty is in there.
Fu Jiezi and General Che Hu hadn't entered yet. Geng Hu has come out. They haven't seen each other for a month. Geng Hu has lost a lot of weight. He invited the two of them in. Fu Jiezi quickly asked, "General Geng, what's the situation in Dunhuang?"
Geng Hu didn't care to invite the two to sit down and began to complain, saying, "General Fu, Chaoyan's army has been late. I, Dunhuang, really can't bear it. A few days ago, the Xiongnu repaired the arrow tower outside the city, which would pose a great threat to Dunhuang City. The second brother rushed out of the city with 2,000 people to prepare for destruction. Arrow Tower, but unfortunately I was hit by an arrow. Hey, I don't know what's going on now. When I sent Lieutenant Tu Ji out of the city, the Xiongnu gathered around and stayed here for so many days. I was really worried about the injury of my second brother.
Fu Jiezi couldn't help but be silent. General Che Hu was a little worried and said, "According to General Geng's intention, when will the Han Dynasty army come?" Our small country of Loulan is really not the opponent of the Huns. Geng Hu couldn't help looking at Fu Jiezi, and Fu Jiezi could not give a sure answer. His greatest hope now is in the West.
If the Han Dynasty can't help Dunhuang, then it can only rely on Wusun. While thinking about this, I heard a humane inside: "General Fu, Marquis of Fu, uncle, why are you standing outside when you come?"
Wei Tujiu stood behind him. Fu Jiezi glanced back and was suddenly a little surprised. Wei Tuji's eyes looking at him were no longer as visible as before, but seemed very calm, but this calmness was only with a trace of hidden wildness.
It seems that Wei Tuqi is no longer the careless teenager a year ago. He has become much more mature, but at the same time, he is less humane. Wei Tuqi never mentioned the return of peace, and Fu Jiezi didn't say much.
"Maybe, maybe he is still thanking himself from the bottom of his heart." Fu Jiezi looked at Wei Tuqi and suddenly felt a little disgusted.
