Chapter 258 Sea Road
On the fifth day of the eighth month of the third year of Yonghui, the main force of the Great Yuezhi Expeditionary Force arrived in the small town of Kum.
Coom is a small oasis in the Cavere Desert, located on the banks of the Coom River.
There was no such small place in such a small place. The pseudo-government established by the Great Cannibal was destroyed by the way when Pei Yuan's troops passed by. The local Persian natives warmly welcomed the royal army to rescue them.
The Great Yuezhi was preparing to rule Persia for a long time, so the military discipline was strict and the army camped outside the town. Even Xiaoshuai did not live in the town, but lived in a marching tent.
At this moment, Xiaoshuai's tent was full of females, including Li Lin'er, Anna, Elena, Calise, Liya, Nazha, and Yiza, seven people gathered around Xiaoshuai and ate the fruits presented by the residents of the town together.
Koum Oasis is rich in melons, pomegranates, figs, almonds, pistachios, cereals and cotton. At this time, the pomegranates and figs are not yet ripe, and the coffee table is placed with melons, almonds and pistachios.
Pistachio is also called pistachio. Xiaoshuai sat on a purely handmade Persian velvet blanket that cost tens of thousands of yuan in later generations. Anna and Ilena were one, peeling pistachios for Xiaoshuai and feeding them to Xiaoshuai's mouth.
Originally, Calice and the four maids who were doing this job were fine and were eating melons next to them. Originally, there were also such melons in Kucha, but was the honeydew melons in Kucha introduced from Persia, and the origin of this place is better.
Li Lin'er held an almond peach in his hand and ate very gentle. The education of the Tang Dynasty royal family was relatively successful. Although Li Lin'er was relatively rebellious, the habit he had formed since childhood was engraved in his bones, which was the most aristocratic way of eating.
Mura reported outside the tent that "there is a phone call from Tehran."
Hearing Xiaoshuai's voice came from the tent, "Send it in." Then he carefully carried the radio station into the tent.
Seeing that the girls in the tent were having snacks with Xiaoshuai, Mura sighed and quickly stepped out.
Xiaoshuai received the call and it was Wang Chenglong. He led 200 minor officials and 500 guards to travel at night. He had already traveled from Lanshi City to Tehran. When he saw Pei Zhong who was left there, he had already begun to effectively rule the Great Yuezhi occupied area in Persia.
Deputy Prime Minister Wang came so quickly, Xiaoshuai was quite satisfied. He put down the phone and was about to send it out when the phone rang again.
This time Chen Youcai called, and his voice was very excited, "Your Majesty, Xu Jun Envoy and Guan Jun Envoy made rapid progress, and he had already followed them to Fubo Port.
There was a small port here, and the army also captured a small fleet of the cannibals inside. This place was not completely rebuilt, but with the existing dock, the development of steam sail warships can be started now. As for the expansion of the port, you can take it slowly.
Also, there are many Persian craftsmen who know how to build ships here, and they were all hired by someone. This Persian is right, and we have no shortage of skilled craftsmen this time."
"Okay, this steam ship is an epoch-making thing. Lao Chen, just sit there and get it out. When the steam ship is successfully tested, I will add a fief for you."
"Then I'm thanking your majesty. In fact, we have steam engines and shipbuilding technicians. They are all ready-made drawings. As long as the money is enough, this steam ship is not difficult.
We can install the steam engine on the locomotive, and the boat is large, so it is no problem. Your Majesty, please take a look."
After appeaseing the excited Chen Youcai, Xiaoshuai closed his eyes and thought for a while. The Xu Army envoy and Guan Jun envoy who Chen Youcai mentioned were Xu Hao and Guan Kairun of the Dayuezhi South Army. They acted very quickly, and they captured Abbas Port so quickly...
No, there is no name yet, and it has been named Fubo Port by itself.
Xiaoshuai and Xu Hao were not very familiar with him. When he was sworn in Tiemenguan, Xu Hao was still Shao Shude's personal guard, just an 18-year-old child. More than three years have passed, Xu Hao was twenty-one years old, and now he has become a military envoy in charge.
Xiaoshuai and Liudi Guan Kairun were better at talking, so he immediately called Guan Kairun, "Liudi Guan, I heard that you and Xu Hao are doing well, so you are here to Fubo Port?"
The voice of the phone turned off Run was lazy, "Fifth Brother, you misunderstood. It wasn't us who set up Fubo Port, but Brother Xu who set up here himself.
Who made me stay in charge of Bolu far away from Tus, and was assigned to the Southern Army. It was so declining. There were no major cannibal troops here. Some small towns, hundreds of cannibal local troops, leading two or three thousand Persian puppet troops, were not enough for Brother Xu to deal with it alone.
Moreover, when the Persian puppet troops saw the lion flag in our army, they immediately turned against each other. Brother Xu had limited chances to take action. We are not called war, but marching, and we are still too slow to die."
Xiaoshuai understood it, and Guan Kairun was dissatisfied. He was a Marquis of Dingyuan who had made a great contribution for thousands of miles. His mountain infantry under his command had the highest speed and mobility in the world. He could travel a hundred miles a day on the plateau, which was much more powerful than a half-day cloud.
Such a brave man will allow him to take Fubo Port as a side teacher. Such a combat goal that is not challenging at all will inevitably have no enthusiasm for work.
But Xiaoshuai knew that the reason why Shao Shude ordered the open leap to the Southern Army was not because Bolu was far away from Tus, but because the war with Dashi was different from the war with Tubo.
There are Princess Wencheng and Wang Nima as inner supporters in Tubo, but it is rare to have a fighter opportunity. All you need is a quick response force. In addition, Guan Kairun, the sixth day demon king, can only make unparalleled achievements.
The Great Cannibal is quite united inside, and there is no room for hike. He just wants to fight head-on and head-on. The mountain infantry with the leap-to-peer switch actually has no advantage.
Shao Shude couldn't tell Guan Kairun that you couldn't do the battlefield here, so he had to send him to the Southern Army and let him guard there.
Xiaoshuai could not suppress the enthusiasm of Guan Kairun's work, so he had to comfort him, "Our task of building steamships is very important, and although the small countries in the east are not capable of force, if we do not send troops to guard the situation, we might have thoughts.
With you, the famous Dingyuan Hou, in charge of the south, the people of India dare not look around, so I and my fourth brother are relieved.
And there are still many wars in the future. Don’t worry, sixth brother, there is something useful to you."
Turn on the run and cut it, Xiaoshuai seemed to be able to see him shook his head beside the phone, "Fifth brother, don't comfort me, those small countries in India have a big ambition. As soon as my seventh brother's army arrived here, they sent us tributes and beautiful women in India.
Fourth brother heard that hello, do you want to send you a few beautiful girls?”
Xiaoshuai's head shook like a rattle, "Where did you hear that I'm good at this? I'm the most serious king. Don't give it to me. I'm not interested in the beauty of India at all."
Guan Kairun sighed, "Oh, I know that the fourth brother doesn't look down on the frontal combat capabilities of the mountain infantry. Xue Rengui calls the Sistan marching chief. Sistan is now all belong to us, so where can he, a famous general, need to fight?
Look, the court just wants to attack Tianzhu. The seventh brother couldn't rest and had already attacked Shiraz. He was not like someone who had already been appointed as a marquis and was very enthusiastic. He was free here and it was okay. Do you want to go to Tianzhu to grab a hand and destroy a few small countries?"
"No, don't. Let the court go to fight against Tianzhu, let's not join forces with you. If you leave, if a pirate comes from somewhere, we will suffer a great loss.
What if the cannibal attacks from the sea, and you still hope that your fifth brother, Dingyuan Hou, will kill them."
"Sea Road?" Xiaoshuai reminded Guan Kairun, "This is a good method for a surprise attack. If you don't leave, you will train here with the captured small fleet of cannibals, trying to make the land ducks under my command be able to get on the boat, and maybe you will use them in the future."
