General Li very generously asked the soldiers to carry the box to Bai Shan's tent immediately, obviously wanting him to pick and keep anything he liked before he went out.
It is worthy of being General Guo's confidant general, and it is very similar in this regard.
Obviously, he also felt that this mission was very dangerous. Since it was dangerous, he naturally wanted to give something to reassure people.
Bai Shan didn't touch these things, but he still opened them so that Bai Erlang and the others could learn a lot.
Bai Erlang opened a box of pearls and sighed, "Although Kucha is small, it is also very rich."
Bai Shan nodded, these things are specially selected, but they are not the best, the best ones are naturally kept to tantalize people's appetites.
Bai Shan closed the box, and said to Bai Erlang, "I will go in with Man Bao, and I will leave the outside to you."
Bai Erlang patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, if the army arrives, I will immediately urge them to go to the city to rescue you. If General Ashina doesn't go, I will roll around in front of the army, and Liu Huan, I will ask him to give Liu Huan a hand. Shang wrote a letter, it may be a little more difficult to prepare the next batch of grain and grass."
Bai Shan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "General Ashina is not that kind of person. I asked you to stay here in case the main army arrives late. I'm afraid the barracks might really have the idea of surrendering to the enemy."
Bai Erlang: "...not so."
Bai Shan reached out and patted his shoulder.
Bai Erlang suddenly felt that his shoulders were so heavy, what to do, he also wanted to go to the city, anyway, the sky fell inside and there was a tall person to bear it.
Both Daji and Nie Canjun followed them in. To General Li's surprise, Bai Shan not only ordered Jin Kuian to follow, but also ordered Erge to follow.
Except for the two of them, the rest are all warriors in the army, they were chosen by General Li and General Meng personally. They said: "They are definitely loyal and righteous men."
Only then did Bai Shan breathe a sigh of relief, except for Jin Kuian and Erge, everyone else could trust their backs.
However, Bai Shan did not show this kind of disbelief. Instead, he showed great trust in Jin Kui'an and Erge, especially for Jin Kui'an. He said to the soldiers: "The battle is up to General Jin."
Jin Kui'an is now only a general flag in the army. This is because of his bravery in combat. General Guo felt that it would be a pity for him to be a small soldier, so he was promoted exceptionally.
It was also clearly stated during the promotion that Jin Kuian was required to take the blame and make meritorious service.
Everyone privately rumored that he might be promoted to a partial general this year, but only the confidantes of General Li knew that General Guo only planned to let Jin Kuian take the position of the general banner to perform crimes and meritorious service.
But the soldiers and the crowd didn't know, not even Jin Kuian himself, so Bai Shan kept yelling at General Jin, and he acquiesced, and the soldiers also acquiesced.
Anyway, it's just a title, Bai Shandu is not a member of the army yet, even if he is called wrong, the general can't be questioned about his crimes when he recovers.
Two boxes of gold, silver and jewels were carried to the car and tied up. Man Bao changed into another outfit and got on the horse with Bai Shan. She turned her head to Zhou Liru and said, "Everyone's injuries have stabilized these few days. Follow the prescription Just treat their injuries, and if you don’t understand, ask a military doctor.”
Zhou Liru responded.
Man Bao left with Bai Shan.
Twenty people, eighteen horses, and a cart passed through three checkpoints and arrived at the Wangcheng. Wangcheng opened a small gate to let them in.
Bai Erlang watched them go in from a distance, and he rode his horse to go back. He asked General Meng, "Is it necessary to boost morale when we go back?"
General Meng said: "Bai Shan said that there is no rush today, and I will boost morale tomorrow."
He said: "Otherwise, after a long time, the soldiers will think more, and it will make them homesick, and it will not be good to mourn the soldiers."
Bai Erlang held the reins tightly and asked, "Will the army arrive tomorrow?"
General Meng said: "If nothing unexpected happens."
Bai Erlang suppressed his anxious heart temporarily.
There were people waiting in the king's city early in the morning, and Bai Shan and the others were surrounded by groups as soon as they entered, with swords and guns facing each other, as if they were about to cut them down at any time.
Bai Shan smiled slightly, turned his head and clapped his hands, and the two drivers in the car opened the two boxes on the car, showing the gifts they brought to the people of Kucha.
Not to mention the soldiers surrounding them, even the officials who came to receive them were all dazzled by the gold, silver and jewels inside.
Bai Shan asked with a smile, "I don't know if His Majesty is satisfied with our sincerity?"
Seeing the green light in the eyes of the Turkic soldiers mixed in the crowd, the official couldn't help but change his face, and quickly asked Bai Shan and the others to close the box. Take off the sword."
Bai Shan said: "Don't worry, the three of us are the ones meeting the king, we will never bring weapons in, as for my guards, I'm afraid they won't be able to take off their swords."
The officer frowned.
Bai Shan pointed at them and said with a smile: "There are only twenty of us, and the three of us are powerless. This is in the royal city, what are your majesty and your lord worried about?"
Only then did the officials take a closer look at Bai Shan and Zhou Manji Erge beside him.
Except for Erge, the two of them really don't seem like people with high force values, especially Zhou Man, who is actually a girl.
The official frowned and asked, "Who is she? Your envoy actually has a woman?"
Bai Shan then sighed and said: "This is the imperial doctor of our dynasty. He was ordered to come to the Western Regions to seek prescriptions. Who knew he was conscripted into the army. Now he can't go back even if he wants to."
He explained: "The general is seriously injured and urgently needs good medicine to save his life. She was ordered to ask for medicine, and even though she surrendered, our general also asked for something."
The official was slightly surprised, this was beyond his expectation, so he didn't bother about the weapon anymore, mainly because the Turkic people had been watching from afar, looking like a tiger, they couldn't say too much about it.
So the officials took them to the palace.
Of course, only the three of them and two large boxes could go in, and the rest of them were left at the gate of Wangcheng, led by Jin Kuian and Nie Canjun.
The officials left the three of them in the side hall, and went to report to the king first.
King Kucha was surprised, "Ask for medicine?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, have you forgotten? On the day Guo Xiao was shot by the arrow, we thought he would die. However, no news came out, and their morale was stable. On the third day, an envoy came to ask for peace."
The king suddenly realized, "No wonder Guo Xiao asked for peace, it turned out to be to save his life."
The officials nodded repeatedly.
"What are the identities of those three messengers?"
"I don't know the leader, but it looks like a civil servant. This kind of thing really needs them to come forward. I guess they used to be clerks in the army. One is an imperial doctor, and the other looks like a Turkic person. It should be It's the general."
"Then be careful." The emperor of the Central Plains was not shy about employing people. He defeated many people and took all those who surrendered. Therefore, he had many generals under his command, and those generals were very powerful. Some of them were like Ashina. There are famous ones, but there are also unknown ones.
