Reborn Daqin, I am the emperor

Chapter 550 Difficult journey
"Go, let's go!"

Outside the city of the Huns, the army withdrew and stationed. The escort army commanded by Tu Sui and Zhang Qian, as well as tens of thousands of people, had evacuated together and returned to Daqin.

When they came, the chariots and horses were fully loaded and mighty.

After death, those people were still there. However, the supplies were gone, the money was gone, and even the horses and vehicles were gone.

Everyone, clean and innocent, was expelled from the country like a bereaved dog.

The group of people gradually moved away, and gradually, the city of the Huns could no longer be seen.

In all directions, looking up and looking around, there are grasslands.

"Shame, great shame!"

At this time, Zhang Qian finally couldn't bear it, and two lines of tears fell.

As an envoy of Great Qin, he represents the dignity of Great Qin, the emperor of Great Qin, and everyone in Great Qin.

Now, to be chased away like a bereaved dog in such a panic is really a great shame.

Especially just now, if it wasn't for the tens of thousands of people, how could he let the Xiongnu Shanyu devour the things of Daqin so unreasonably?

It's not that he lacks backbone, but that he has too many worries.

"Your Majesty Zhang, don't be angry. Your Majesty has expected the situation today. Your Majesty said that nothing is important when you go to the Huns this time. The important thing is to save everyone's lives!"

"Master Zhang, don't worry, if you can return to Qin, His Majesty will definitely demand it back from the Huns a thousand times for today's humiliation!"

Tu Sui also looked gloomy, but he still spoke comfortingly.

Today, for him, it is also a great shame and humiliation, but the emperor specially ordered him before his departure that his mission is nothing else but to protect everyone from harm.

Therefore, whether it was humiliation, bullying, or losing everything, he didn't care. He only had one task, and he did his best to keep these people back to Daqin.

"Zhang Qian knows the general's embarrassment, and also knows that the general's heart is actually more angry than Zhang Qian's."

"Today, it was Zhang Qian and the others who dragged the general down, otherwise with the general's ability, he would have died with that Hun Shanyu forever."

"Now, we have left, but what follows is a long road with endless grasslands and endless deserts."

"We have neither food nor any chariots and horses. With so many people starving, it may be difficult for us to enter the Great Wall!"

Zhang Qian sighed, his face full of sadness.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, the boat will go straight when it reaches the bridge. This general has already sent people to the Great Wall to inform the Generalissimo. Presumably soon, the Generalissimo will find a way to escort me."

"What we have to do now is to conserve our energy as much as possible, and don't worry too much. We should trust the Grand Marshal and His Majesty the Emperor!"

Tu Sui smiled and comforted him.

As a general, he is very aware of the importance of morale, so at this time, he must stand up and stand up for everything.

Although Zhang Qian also knew this truth, but in the end, Zhang Qian was a civil servant, how could he allow a civil servant to withstand the pressure as a general here?

"It's easier said than done. Please ask the general to restrain everyone more. Along the way, if it's really impossible, you can eat anything, but you must not touch anything belonging to the Huns. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to return to the pass!"

Zhang Qian nodded, but couldn't help sighing, reminding him.

This journey back to Qin is destined to be full of difficulties.

Everyone has no money and no food.

Even if the people sent by Tu Sui can reach the Great Wall as quickly as possible, it will take at least ten days.

After all, without horses to travel, this journey is not easy.

In this way, even if the Great Wall sends people to welcome them, and there are many difficulties, it will take almost a month at least.

With so many people, can they really survive for so long without food and drink?

Worry is nothing but worry, but no matter how sad or bitter, returning to Daqin is the most important thing. After all, this part of the road still has to go.

Everyone moved forward, and time passed by little by little.

In order to conserve energy, Tu Sui ordered everyone to slow down.

Although the speed has slowed down, the same strength can make people go farther and consume less.

That night, when everyone walked all the way to Zishi, although the hunger was tolerable, no one could bear it without water.

One by one, after a long day's journey, their mouths are already dry and their lips are full of dead skin.

Seeing everyone panting and exhausted, Tu Sui waved his hand and said, "Everyone, I know that you are very thirsty, hungry, and tired. But remember, no matter how thirsty you are, No matter how hungry or tired you are, you'd better not think about giving up."

"Persevere, you can still return to Daqin, and you can return to your hometown. Today's crimes will be repaid in the future, and Daqin will definitely wait a thousand times for you."

"But if you give up, you will never return to Daqin on this road."

"If you die, His Majesty the Emperor will avenge you, but you are destined not to see that day!"

"Everyone, take a deep breath and walk another ten miles. After an hour, there is a small hill ten miles away."

"There is a small lake under the hill. Go there, have a drink at home, rest for a night, and continue on the road tomorrow. Do you understand?"

After Tu Sui finished speaking, the thousands of soldiers stopped immediately and shouted loudly: "I understand!"

This sound awakened the common people and businessmen, each of them had a look of longing in their eyes, which was the longing for the water source.

"go!"

With a big wave of his hand, Tu Sui led the crowd and continued to walk forward.

What he said was not to quench his thirst. On the way here, he had already memorized all the terrain of the Xiongnu in his mind, and he was very clear about what was there.

Ten miles away, there is a grassland hill, and there is a small lake under the hill. It is time for everyone to rest when they arrive there.

Everyone continued on their way, and after an hour, they finally came to the lake. Following Tu Sui's order, all the soldiers stood up immediately, and let the common people and businessmen finish drinking the water before they stepped forward and drank their fill. enough.

At this moment, I have no food on my body, so I can only rely on this water to fill my stomach.

Everyone rested, and the soldiers should take turns to stand guard, but Tu Sui knew that the road ahead would be long and the soldiers could no longer consume their energy, so he gave an order, and all the soldiers rested on the spot, while he walked to the hill and watched. Looking in all directions, like a god of war, standing there quietly.

"General, don't you rest?"

At this time, Zhang Qian's voice came from behind, and Zhang Qian walked to Tu Sui and sat down and said.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang. What I, Tu Sui, can't use up in this life is my physical strength. Mr. Zhang is different. After all, Mr. Zhang is a civil servant, and his body is weak. You have to rest well, otherwise the road ahead will be difficult!"

Tu Sui smiled slightly, and said solemnly.
