Lu Bu commanded the cavalry quickly, but the logistics could not maintain the same speed as the cavalry.

There were many soldiers and horses going to fight, and the food and grass needed was huge. Most areas of the Western Regions were relatively desolate, with fewer farming, but mainly animal husbandry, and war horses could speed up. These cattle and sheep that followed the army to provide red and white food, and they could not get faster.

The number of cattle and sheep that could keep up with Lu Bu in the future was naturally not large, and the supply was naturally too many monks and too little porridge. Wei Xu mainly supplied most of the number to the army directly under Lu Bu, which naturally caused dissatisfaction among the vassals, and everyone was full of curses and complaining.

Habits are a terrible thing.

When Lu Bu was still under Ding Yuan, he was not very careful about logistics and money. Later, no matter whether he defected to Dong Zhuo, or to Yuan Shao, or now under Yu Fei's command, he basically never cared about people's livelihood government affairs and basic logistics, so in fact, Lu Bu did not have much concept of this aspect.

In order to cover up his previous behavior, Wei Xu always told Lu Bu that there was no problem. He could handle it, so Lu Bu did not explore and pay more attention to it. However, in fact, in order to ensure the supply of Lu Bu's subordinates along the way, he made up for the loopholes in this area that Lu Bu could see. Wei Xu had not only deducted the amount of food and grass distribution of the vassal soldiers once.

King Bai Su of Kucha might think that it would be better to have less than anything else, so he sent Lu Bu and others away early, and asked Lu Bu to fight with Dayuan to fight to the death, giving him some food, grass, cattle and sheep, and even if he lost money and eliminated the disaster.

But that's not what Bai Shan thought.

He claimed that he was not inferior to Bai Su, and he even disdained to see Bai Su chanting Buddha's name every day, thinking that as the lord of a country, there was a joke, it was not a king of the country, but he was just a brother of the king. Sometimes he didn't even count his brothers, just a runner-runner...

Just like this time, he ran errands for Bai Su and laughed with silence.

But he was ruthless.

Baishan found that Lu Bu's army seemed to be divided into three parts, including the headquarters, the old ones, the new ones, and the three parts, although they were all under Lu Bu's command, they did not seem to be very harmonious. They stood up and said hello to each other and did not speak much.

This is a little interesting...

Bai Shan cheered up and observed carefully.

Of course, the generals and school students in this department showed arrogance on their faces, while the old man and the new man were not so harmonious. Although it was not a bickering, they kept a distance intentionally or unintentionally in their expressions and behaviors.

While watching Baishan, a group of soldiers came surrounded by a Han general, which was Wei Xu.

Wei Xu had a smile on his face. This smile was quite sincere, at least he was very sincere about the food, grass, cattle and sheep brought by Baishan. After seeing Baishan, he said loudly: "I have seen the wise king of Kuz! I have heard that the wise king is loyal, righteous and kind, and today I see it well-known!"

Bai Shan sneered in his heart, but did not show it on his face, and respectfully saluted Wei Xu. When did he hear my name, I am afraid that it will be the last time?

Wei Xu stepped forward and asked Baishan to go inward.

Baishan walked in, and he was like a fool and praised the soldiers and horses in Lu Bu camp without saying a word. "Look at the soldiers and horses of the Great Guardians, they are majestic and majestic, they are really... like heavenly soldiers and generals! The soldiers and horses in the small country are really unaware of them, which makes Xiao Wang really envious..."

Wei Xu laughed, his face was shining, and his mouth was a little humble. He suddenly felt that Baishan was a good person. After taking Baishan to pay Lu Bu, he delivered some rewards for food, grass, cattle and sheep, and then sent Baishan out of the camp and returned to see Lu Bu again.

When Lu Bu saw Wei Xu Yixuan, he nodded slightly and said, "Since Kucha is tactful, there is no need to use force."

Kucha, Shule, Shache and other countries have been close and separated from the Han Dynasty for three or four hundred years.

Sometimes it is to surrender, sometimes it is to defect.

When he surrendered, he would pull the reins of the Han envoy's horse head, crying and shouting that the big man is his father and should not leave his poor baby alone, but he was not polite during the rebellion and slaughtered the Han people and flowed into blood.

Kucha now expressed his surrender and gave him food, grass, cattle and sheep, so Lu Bu was naturally not easy to do. Moreover, Kucha could not be considered a small country, and there were many people, horses and soldiers. If he really turned against him, it would be troublesome to fight. If he didn't say anything else, the speed of the march would definitely be slowed down.

Wei Xu had no objection to Lu Bu's arrangements. He was eager to get some supplies in Kucha to relieve some of the pressure on him to be in charge of logistics.

But others may not be there.

Will the vassal army care about the overall strategy?

The vassal army thought that following Lu Bu would have the opportunity to make a fortune, but unexpectedly, when he arrived in Yanqi, he encountered rain and snow, and had to stop. As a result, not to mention money and goods, even food and grass were in short supply, and the belts on his belly were tied up.

Originally, I thought that I had arrived at Kucha. If the King of Kucha was a little dissatisfied, I would sweep over, regardless of gold, silver and money, and at least I would fill my dry intestines that had been hungry for many days. However, I didn't expect that the King of Kucha would throw it so simply, and I was stunned.

Yanqi didn't fight, and Kucha didn't watch it anymore.

In this way, if Shule did not take action next, although it was quite smooth, what about money? What about cattle and sheep? What about food eaten these days will not fall from the sky for no reason!

What's more, Wei Xu is a partial person, and he only cares about giving Lu Bu the troops in front of him. The others are ignored and can't even get the stuttering!

So among the vassal army, Hu Tutian, a Shache man who had already surrendered, stood up, coughed lightly, and said respectfully to Lu Bu: "The majority of the vassals are above, and I heard that the King of Kucha is more believe in Buddha... Do I think this matter is a bit too light?"

『Hmm?』 Lu Bu frowned, 『What do you mean?』

Hu Tutian glanced at Lu Bu and quickly lowered his head, "It was the Great Protector who had killed many Buddhist monks in Xihai City before... "

Lu Bu stood up with his eyebrows, "Those are all fake monks, and they deserve to die for the crime!"

Hu Tutian nodded repeatedly and said, "What the Great Protector said is so much! Those who pretend to be monks deserve to die! But this Kucha... is said to have also dug stone walls for the Buddha and carved Buddha statues. It can be seen that these Kucha people believe in the Buddha very much... If... well, I'll just assume it. If some Buddhist monks incite to destroy the Great Protector's name, or..."

Lu Bu glared at him, "What do you want to say?"

"Reporting to the Great Protector, I mean I am willing to go forward and investigate a few things... If Kucha really works hard, that's it, if it's..." Hu Tutian chuckled, "With the Great Protector behind, I'm at ease, right?"

Lu Bu pondered for a moment, nodded, and looked at Wei Xu, "What do you think?"

Wei Xu had some serious idea, pretended to think for a while, then nodded and said, "Report to the Great Protector, I think it's good."

"That's it!" Lu Bu dropped the banner and asked Hu Tutian to lead his troops, and then add three thousand vassals to the front army to drive forward and explore the way as a vanguard.

……(这这这这)公┗|O′|┛受~~…

Baishan returned to the royal city and after taking the errand, he left the palace.

The Kucha royal city is called Pilang, which means huge and huge.

The entire royal city is built based on the mountain situation, with three layers inside and outside, most of which are based on loess and rammed earth as walls. There are mostly gold and silver decorations on the walls, and they shine brightly under the sunlight.

Because Kucha has advocated Buddha over the years, many monks have traveled in the city. From time to time, devout believers offer food, water and flowers to monks, making them look peaceful.

Bai Shan stared at the monks, sighed slightly, and then turned and left.

Some people believe in Buddhism, but naturally some people do not.

Some people expect the next life, while others think about this life.

Baishan did not believe in Buddhism, and even thought that these Buddhas and monks were all tricks of rest and the poisonous plot of Kushan.

Unfortunately, Bai Su believed in Buddhism.

And Bai Su, who believed in Buddhism, was still the king.

Other things are easy to say, Bai Su also listened to, but when it comes to this belief, Bai Su thought Bai Shan was hateful and had ulterior motives, and even turned against each other. If it weren't for the blood-related brothers, the two of them would have said they would not have drawn their swords to face each other...

By practicing Buddhism, can you let the soldiers retreat and let the swords and guns be put down? Bai Shan sneered and then returned to his own house.

The Kucha royal family lived in caves.

A cave similar to a loess high slope.

There is less rain in the Western Regions, so these caves blooming in the mountains are warm in winter and cool in summer, and the terrain is higher. When you leave the door, you can see the small mountains.

The sunset shines on the loess, and it is golden.

The gold-inlaid Buddha statues on the loess rock walls are like 120-watt light bulbs, shining.

Bai Shan felt it was very dazzling, so he turned his head and went back to the cave to sit down. Soon, a servant from the palace brought in the dinner tonight and arranged it one by one...

Bai Shan frowned, "Why are there only these today?"

Bakery.

Pickled vegetables.

A bowl of dumpling soup.

The servant replied, saying that it was the king's speech that these days it was the Buddha's Nirvana Day, so all meat and meat dishes were cancelled, only vegetarian food...

"If you don't have meat, go and bring some goat milk," Bai Shan said with a frown, "Just this dry cake, you don't have any taste, how can you swallow it!"

"Qi Bing Wang, this goat milk... is also forbidden..."

『The same goes for goat milk?』 Bai Shan widened his eyes, 『Didn’t the Baishi some time ago mean that it was not worth mentioning?』

"You are the wise king, saying that it is the new monk who sets new rules..."

Bai Shan took a deep breath, waved his hand helplessly after a while. Halfway through his words, he couldn't help but stand up, "Then let's take some horse milk wine... Could it be that horse milk wine is also banned?"

The servant nodded timidly.

"Red food cannot be eaten, and white food cannot be eaten now..." Bai Shan waved his arm, "First it was the Buddha's birthday, and then it was the Nirvana Day! What's the day of becoming a monk? The day of enlightenment! Happy Day! How many days are there in the year that are no longer human, but Buddha's! You can't eat red food, this one is prohibited, and that one is prohibited. Just don't eat it anymore, just be hungry! Isn't it all save trouble?!"

Bai Shan laughed furiously.

The servant shrank his head and did not dare to talk to him.

Bai Shan knew about this, no wonder the servant, so he waved his hand and asked the servant to retreat.

The servants are like amnesty.

Bai Shan stared at the pasta pickled vegetables, and had no desire to eat...

If it were before, he would have to go to Bai Su to argue, but now, he has another idea.

Perhaps it was because he had too much theory before, and Bai Su didn't listen at all.

The sun slowly sets down the mountain, and the shadows gradually cover Baishan's face.

…(╯︵╰)…

Bai Su also had a headache.

The Han army sent people to ask for cattle, sheep and horses again.

One thousand five sheep.

Five hundred cows.
