Chapter 204 Khotan (500 monthly tickets plus updates)
Sure enough, in the following time, when Hu Biao and others returned all the way, everything was so calm and nothing happened.
I don't know how much easier it was compared to how hard it was.
The only problem is that when they come over, everyone in the envoy group can travel in a simple and easy way, even if they don't take into account the unnecessary detours they took to avoid the horse bandits.
The journey from Dou Gujun in the Dunhuang area took almost fifteen or six days.
As a result, this time we went back, because the team suddenly became much larger, and there were many camels carrying supplies and gifts, so the speed naturally became even slower.
Old soldier Masanna made a rough estimate and found that it would take at least twenty-three or four days to return to the Dou Gudu Army currently stationed in the Dunhuang area.
Fortunately, Hu Biao and others were mentally prepared for such a boring journey.
Even before returning, some positive training plans were made.
For example:
Even the training staff of the Fengrui team is still staying in Shanshan Kingdom due to some follow-up arrangements.
However, in the morning and evening, the two veterans, Xu Feng and AT Zhe, still took over the morning and evening formation and formation training.
This leaves a bunch of rookies with no time to fish.
And because there are enough horses to replace, veterans such as Hu Biao will also practice some mounted shooting, horse fighting skills, etc. during the march.
In these aspects of immediate combat, with the level of Gan Ying, Tian Lu, Ma San and others, it is more than enough to serve as instructors for Hu Biao and others.
One aspect is that they are strong enough, and another aspect is that Hu Biao and the others are too weak.
As for the effect of such training? Of course it does.
But just like Hu Biao's practice of "Mozi's Five Elements Breathing Method", it emphasizes the accumulation of hard work over time.
In the short term, don’t think about what might be possible after training, what will happen...
*******
At the same time, on the fourth day after Hu Biao and others set out, this day.
Along the way, we crossed the Lop Nur Lake, which is rich in water and grass, and the vast Gobi Desert, and finally entered the Taklimakan Desert again.
Here in Shanshan Kingdom, the remaining people are about to take action.
Outside the courtyard where they had lived for a while, there was still a horse team consisting of one person and three horses. All the horses had been put on reins and saddles, and had been fed in advance.
And on horseback, water, dry food, supplies, etc. are basically all prepared one by one.
Yang Dongli, Fengrui, Lao Hei, Ah Li and other ten people, although they did not wear heavy iron armor, they also wore light leather armor, chain mail, etc.
Long spears, daggers, bows and arrows were all hung on his body and held in his hands, giving him a somewhat fully armed posture.
It can be said that Yang Dongli and the others are ready to set off.
But before the official departure, Yang Dongli, who was the temporary leader among the left-behind personnel, still asked with some worry:
"Lang Qing, are you okay?"
The reason why they asked this question was that in the next few days, they would need to maneuver a long distance at high speed by constantly changing horses.
Among the people who stayed behind, the injuries of others are basically intact today.
Only Lang Qing, who had several broken ribs at the time, has yet to grow back. He doesn't know if he can withstand such a high-intensity continuous journey.
After hearing this, Lang Qing patted his chest not so hard.
He answered with some confidence:
"It's okay. After so many days of training, Fengrui fixed it with a strap. So it may not be enough for fighting, but there will definitely be no problem for traveling."
After hearing such a statement, Yang Dongli no longer had any worries.
He yelled: "Let's go~"
When Yang Dongli said "Let's go~", all ten people of the same surname got on their horses easily.
The reason they were able to do this was not because their riding skills had soared, but simply because they had temporarily installed wooden stirrups on their war horses.
With the help of this thing, it can be said that it has played a great role.
Not only is it easier to get on the horse, but more importantly, the legs can be used better on the horse, which can help them free their hands on the horse and perform more combat actions.
As for whether such a thing will cause any bad consequences.
Definitely not, because according to some of the action plans they had discussed, after Hu Biao and others went to Dou Gu's army, they would offer simple things such as stirrups and horseshoes.
Let the cavalry of the Han Dynasty become stronger.
What belongs to the big man belongs to the world.
In this way, these simple harnesses whose principles can be understood at a glance will be quickly spread throughout the Eastern world in a very short period of time, even if they want to keep it secret, it will be impossible to do so.
Just like that, Yang Dongli and a group of people and horses ran towards the city gate on the dirt road in the city.
Hearing the sound of horse hoofbeats, the gatekeeper of Shanshanguo Primary School wanted to shout and curse: Who dares to run wildly like this in the city? Don't you want to live?
However, the group of knights on horseback that I saw from a distance turned out to be behind a group of powerful Han warriors who had been rumored to have amazing combat power in recent times.
At that moment, I didn't dare to say any nonsense in my mouth.
It is even more impossible to stop them.
If there was any movement, he would yell and curse loudly at the stupid subordinates around him:
"You blind idiots, please get out of the way quickly and don't block the way of these warriors. If you anger these warriors and you want to die, you haven't lived enough."
That was when Yang Dongli and others passed through the city gate on horseback and passed by him.
After thinking of something in the head of this small school, he asked: "May I ask all you brave warriors, where are you planning to go?"
"Tell you, the Lord, that we have thanked him for his warm hospitality these days, and now we have something to do and have to leave. As for where we plan to go, leave it alone and don't ask any more questions."
After leaving such a sentence, everyone who rushed out of the city gate spurred their horses on, increasing their horse speed even further.
Soon after, it completely disappeared before their eyes.
After running for more than ten miles, the low city wall of Shanshan Kingdom's capital could no longer be seen. Yang Dongli and others turned their horses and started marching in the opposite direction from when Hu Biao and others returned.
.
Next stop: Khotan...
The Khotan Kingdom is located on the southern edge of the Tarim Basin and is a small country established by the Cypriots.
It leads to Qiemo and Shanshan in the east, and to Shache, Shule and other countries in the west. The capital is called Xicheng, and the ruler of the country is the Yuchi family. It mainly focuses on agriculture such as planting, and grows wheat, millet, hemp, melons and vegetables.
The above is some of the news that Yang Dongli and others found in Shanshan Kingdom before setting off.
After combining the modern situation, they came to the conclusion that the specific location of the Khotan Kingdom should be in the Hotan Yotgan area of present-day Xinjiang Province.
Because according to Lao She, A SIR of this Xinjiang province, there is a ruins of Khotan in the Yotgan area of Hotan.
In the modern dimension, this place was developed into a scenic spot. The so-called scenery mainly consisted of some mounds of dirt, and there was a 15 yuan entrance fee.
But it is worth mentioning that jade is very famous among the Han people.
After all, it is Hotan jade, which is very famous in the modern plane. After hearing this at that time, these guys had some ideas in their minds.
Not to mention the question of how much it can be sold for after taking it back.
Wouldn’t it be nice to carve some bracelets, jade pendants, etc. for your wife or daughter-in-law?
