The bad emperor of Tang Dynasty

The Deira caravan headed west.The eastern edge of the Tarim Basin.Turn around and look back.It is the endless Gobi sand sea.Looking to the south, there are high mountains and snow-capped mountains.The climate there is pleasant.The snow on the high mountains flowed down from the mountains and gathered into many small rivers to nourish the large oasis in the western desert.Hundreds of tribal civilizations in the Western Regions were bred.

Guo Nuan felt thirsty.Riding on the back of a camel.The crotch is stuck between two tall and thin humps.He felt a little ass-grinding.And the camel exudes a strong smell.There is also a feeling of motion sickness.

"Cuckoo..." The sand and dust remained between the teeth.Spit out with saliva.Guo Nuan ruthlessly gulped down a mouthful of fresh water from his skin.Look up at the scorching sun in the sky.It was hot as hell.

Three or four days of business trip after leaving Niya.Guo Nuan's skin became dark and shiny.

"Little uncle. Baked eggs. Here." Little Aina ran over behind the camel team.Giggling, he held two eggs and handed them to Guo Nuan who was riding on a tall camel.

"En. Thank you, little girl." Guo Nuan grinned with shriveled lips.He bent down and took the egg from his little hand.Riding a camel on a small sand dune.Don't forget to look around the vast desert.He acts as a bodyguard.The quality of being alert to troubles is still necessary.

Guo Nuan poked open the eggshell.Reveal the piping hot smooth egg white.This egg was buried in the sand and baked by Aina when she was resting in the shadow of the big sand dune in the caravan.The temperature is really scary.

There is still an hour in the afternoon to arrive at dusk.Della decided to make the extra trip.soon.Everyone packed up. More than 100 people hurried on the road.

Walk along the dune ridge.Accompanied by the jingling of camel bells.Occasionally there are some cool winds on the hot sandy ground.Guo Nuan gradually got used to the hardships and loneliness of the Silk Road in the Western Regions.

When the thoughts are scattered.Suddenly, the neighing of horses was heard.Then bursts of people roared.shouted.The knocking and collision of swords and iron.Apparently there was a fight going on nearby.

Della looked solemn.He immediately ordered the team to stop their journey.look around.Dela and the others saw more than 60 horse bandits chasing a camel caravan composed of [-] people in the sand a few hundred meters away.Those in the caravan along the way were hastily discarding heavy loads.As for the robbers behind, they held their sabers high, cursed and screamed, and chased after him.For a while, the dust billowed on the sandy ground below.in a blink.The gangsters who chased after them caught up with the few businessmen who had fallen behind and threw their knives at each other.Blood spattered three feet.Fall off the horse.unconscious.

"Rescue them." Della said calmly.There was no panic at all.He ordered. More than 70 guards, including Guo Nuan, camel troop rushed down from the sand dunes angrily.

The faces of these horse bandits were covered with black gauze.But look at their animal fur clothing and skin color hair.It is very likely that they are nomadic tribes descended from Xirong.

Guo Nuan charged forward.He swooped down.He raised his saber and directly intercepted the horse bandits who were chasing the businessman in the front.clang clang.Twice.Guo Nuan staggered past the blade that the horse bandit slashed at his scalp.With a backhand, he slashed on the horse bandit's chest.One planted onions.The horse bandits rolled over and fell into the sand, losing their fighting power.

Pull the reins.Guo Nuan turned around with the camel in his arms and chased after the other horse bandits who passed by him.At this moment, the Persian guards on his side had already fought with those horse bandits.And the merchants who were hunted down in embarrassment saw that they had strong reinforcements.These white people from the Western Regions also immediately turned around and joined the melee.For a time the number of people prevailed.The horse bandits were about to be surrounded by Guo Nuan's side.The bandit leader yelled at his men and rushed eastward.Forcibly opened a gap and fled.After leaving seven or eight corpses, they disappeared into the continuous sand dunes.

Because the horse bandits did not expect to encounter a large number of reinforcements suddenly.Della's guards fought with the horse bandits for just half a quarter of an hour.After beheading the corpses of the two horse bandits.The horse bandits stopped fighting and fled.So Della's guards didn't have much to lose.Except for a slight wound on the arm of a Persian.until no one dies.

"Sincere friends. Thank you. Thank you." The caravan that had just survived was grateful for the selfless rescue of the Deira caravan.Captain is a big cannibal.His name is Abdullah.Deep sunken brown pupils.Plus the pointed aquiline nose and the layers of wrinkles on the forehead.It can be seen that this uncle who is over fifty years old has experienced a lot of hardships on the Silk Road trade line.

I heard that Abdullah's caravan originally consisted of more than 200 people.He was supposed to rush to Chigu City on the south bank of Issyk Lake in the Middle East.However, when they passed through the eastern desert controlled by Tiele, they were attacked by more than 100 fierce robbers who were descendants of the Rongdi tribe.He was hunted down for most of the day.The panicked caravan was hunted to pieces.The companions divided into several groups and fled in all directions.And Abdullah just took more than forty people and fled in the direction of the Deira caravan.On the way, half of the caravan companions were killed by cruel horse bandits along the way.I was so sad that I thought I was going to die in the hands of the horse bandits.Unexpectedly, he was lucky enough to be rescued by the Deira caravan.

Abdullah drank a few sips of the strong wine that Della handed over, still in shock.During the conversation with Della, he raised his eyes from time to time and nodded and smiled at the vigilant Guo Nuan next to him.

"Della. You, the guard of Tang Dynasty, are really good at martial arts. (Turkic language of the Altaic family)"

It is said that the Eastern and Western cultures blend in the Western Regions.Complex and diverse.Almost all the merchants traveling on the trade route to and from the Western Regions were linguists.Know two or three.Even seven or eight kinds of West Asia.middle East.East Asian languages.Therefore, Della can understand the language of small languages.As for Guo Nuan, he didn't know what the two old guys were talking about.

"Hehe. This young man is really good." Della knew the value of Abu's protection for Guo Nuan.But Della wasn't going to let him take it away.The lives of the three horse bandits were resolved within a few rounds of raising and lowering the knife.Clean and neat.This is no ordinary guard.

Abdullah sighed secretly.Think back to this embarrassing escape.All the way, he was chased away by the nomadic horse bandits without the power to fight back.Finally stopped and lined up to organize the formation.Unexpectedly, these horse bandits were even more arrogant.It is not too late to line up the cavalry formation.A standard flying geese formation.Mixed with the sky full of dust.A single charge from the cavalry overwhelmed Abdullah's bodyguards.The number of confrontations is slightly superior.His heart bleeds.a shock.His own guard is like a piece of paper.Without the slightest fighting power.

Abdullah felt that his failure should be attributed to those useless Dashi hired bodyguards.

"Sigh. I don't want to mention the heavy loss this time. I don't know if my fourth son escaped the pursuit of the robbers after being separated." Abdullah said.Deep worry flashed across his face.

Della estimated that it would not take half a day's journey.There should be no great difficulty in finding Abdullah's son.This is about innocent lives.So the benevolent Della let the caravan set off towards the west direction directed by Abu.

The commodities Abdullah transported this time were mainly more than 300 capsules of sand.There are also some fine steel stones.Assassin stone and a lot of horse silk cloth.It is said that these ores for making weapons are in great demand for nomadic tribes.Especially in the West Turkic area.The price of a catty of pure metal ore can be more expensive than a catty of mutton.So it is not surprising that some scheming nomads have the idea of ​​robbery.

Since Abdullah's son was dispersed, he had as many as 100 guards with him.He was also a little relieved.Go along the way.In addition to seeing the water bag dropped by the members of the Abu caravan on the sand when they fled.weapon.Occasionally came across the corpses of a few tragic companions.Abu turned over his dying companion.Most of the chests and backs were brutally hacked to death by the robbers.Guo Nuan silently looked at the big food businessman who was bending over and crying beside him.Touching the scene and living in love.Undoubtedly, these businessmen who rely on transporting goods from the East and the West in exchange for high profits of more than ten times or even dozens of times the cost of the source materials are doing high-risk business with their heads on their belts.This seemingly profitable business is not so easy to do.

Bury all those who died along the way.Abdullah took Della and they continued to walk towards the sand dunes to the west.His originally gloomy eyes suddenly brightened.I saw fifty people surrounding the hinterland of the sand dunes to the west.Sanitation circle.Bring the horses and camels.Stack goods on the ground.The employers guard the center.The Dashi guards on the left and right are standing guard with weapons.There are also archers and gun throwers in columns on both sides.Dead bodies were strewn about on the nearby sandy ground.

"Aliti. Hi..." Abdullah shouted excitedly.He galloped away on a camel.Della estimated that Abu's camel troop had been found.He motioned for everyone to follow closely.

"Father." A young and strong Caucasian boy saw Abdullah.He quickly signaled the guards to relax their vigilance.Ariti rushed out of the guard circle in three steps and two steps to give his father a big hug.In a hasty movement, he even removed the white turban coiled around his head.

It turned out that the horse bandits were divided into two groups.Among them, a group of more than 100 people persevered in chasing Ariti's men.Fortunately, the young Ariti has the temperament of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.He calmly and quickly directed everyone to assume a posture of uncompromising surrender.Standing on a sandy patch.Fighting recklessly with the enemy for half an hour.The horse bandits can't please them.And he also dropped a dozen corpses of his own group.Soon it disappeared.Worried about the enemy killing a carbine.That's why I stayed where I was and didn't dare to move.

Because in the struggle with horse bandits.More than [-] of Abdullah's camels escaped in panic.More than ten horses were cut and injured in the fight.Except that it is not easy to find seven or eight horses nearby.The others disappeared.Abdullah was in a hurry when the bulk of the goods piled on the ground were not transported by livestock.

"There are more than ten extra horses here. Just use them. There is a rich oasis country fifty miles away. We just stopped for supplies. When you have replenished enough transport livestock, return them to Deira." Dela Know the other party's difficulties.He passed proper scheduling.Make full use of capacity.He just squeezed out the extra camel.Great help to Della.The Abdra caravan was grateful.
