The official responded and was about to speak again when a small official ran in and said, "Your Majesty, General Bali is here..."
Before saying a word, the general of the Western Turks strode in and said with a smile: "I heard that the king's distinguished guests have arrived, will the king not let us see them?"
Displeasure flashed across King Qiuci's eyes, but a smile appeared on his face and he said, "General Bali is here, please take your seat."
General Pulli took his seat directly.
When Bai Shan and the others came in with two big boxes, they saw a person sitting under the throne. After a pause, Bai Shan only saluted towards the throne.
King Qiuci was curious about General Guo's injury, so he asked Zhou Man.
Man Bao didn't dare to speak too seriously, otherwise he felt that General Guo was going to die, what should he do if he directly sent troops to attack the camp
So Man Bao dropped his book bag all over the floor, making sure that he couldn't understand, and finally told him the consequences, "...if it can't be treated in time, it will be better now, and it will also hinder life span."
King Qiuci didn't understand the previous words, but he did understand this sentence. He lifted his spirits and asked, "What medicine does Guo Xiao ask for?"
Man Bao presented the list of medicines written earlier in the morning, all of which are good herbs for nourishing blood and qi, and the first thing on the list is ginseng.
There is only one box of this thing in the King’s Palace of Kucha, and they sent people and merchants from the Central Plains to buy it with a lot of money. King Kucha didn’t take a lot of things from the warehouse when he ran away, but he didn’t forget this box of ginseng. Of course he couldn’t To Guo Xiao.
But the King of Kucha would not say it, he can only say that many medicinal materials are not available in the palace. After all, the palace has been looted, but he will mention it to the ministers to see where there are in the city, and then they can buy them for them. them.
Bai Shan took the opportunity and said: "It is already benevolence and righteousness for the king to let us buy the medicinal materials. How dare we let the king spend more money?"
King Qiuci couldn't help but look at the two boxes.
Bai Shan immediately said that they did not use these gold and silver to buy, even without the spoils this time, General Guo still had some savings.
The smile on King Kucha's face was more real.
So the topic came to the main topic. King Qiuci mentioned when they would enter the city and surrender. Bai Shan said that he would take the medicine for General Guo when he bought the medicine, and lead the surrendered army in when he could mount his horse.
Bai Shan also mentioned the future treatment of General Guo.
Pulli, who had been sitting silently by the side, suddenly sneered and said: "The defeated general, the king is kind enough to accept his surrender, how dare he ask for an official position?"
Bai Shan looked at King Kucha with a troubled expression.
The King of Kucha and Ba Li laughed and said, "General Ba Li, Guo Xiao is quite capable. If he is willing to surrender, we can still win a general in Kucha."
"Your Majesty trusts them so much? The Han people have always been cunning. Maybe this is their strategy to slow down the army," Ba Li said to the King of Kucha in Turkic dialect, "If you want me to say, it's better to just lead the army to level them, and when the time comes, the troops will become prisoners." , wouldn’t you listen to the king more?”
Bai Shan and Man Bao could understand without Erg translation. The two of them frowned slightly, and did not try to hide that they understood. They quickly spoke to the King of Kucha in Turkic who was not proficient: "Please keep your promise, Your Majesty."
Then he said to Ba Li: "General, although our General Guo is wounded, he is resourceful and has strong generals under his command. We have three thousand troops. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to attack my camp directly?"
Bai Shan confronted each other: "Otherwise, why did Your Majesty and the general have to wait for so many days, instead of taking advantage of the victory and pursuing us on the second day when our general was injured?"
This hit King Qiuci sorely, why didn't they take advantage of the victory and pursue it? Wasn't it because Pulli felt that the money was not in place, so no matter how many times he mentioned it, the other party turned a deaf ear and found various excuses to refuse.
Now knowing that Guo Xiao has a lot of gold and silver treasures in his hands, he wants to hunt them again, but if he goes, where will he have his share in those things
You must know that most of the spoils in Guo Xiao's hands were looted from the palace.
Pulli wanted to take away the things from his palace in Kucha, how could there be such a reason
So King Qiuci became more determined to accept Guo Xiao's surrender. He quickly comforted Bai Shan and Ba Li, saying that Guo Xiao also obeyed the emperor of the Central Plains. One write off, everyone will be friends from now on.
Pulli's cheeks twitched, and finally held back his breath, reluctantly exchanged pleasantries with King Kucha, and then left.
King Qiuci checked the time and found that it was getting late, so he asked Bai Shan and the others to stay for dinner. Tonight they will live in the inn outside the palace, and the next day they can go out of the city to discuss with Guo Xiao after getting the necessary medicinal materials. Thing to surrender.
At that time, Wangcheng will send envoys to discuss specific matters with Guo Xiao.
How dare King Kucha let Guo Xiao, who claims to have an army of three thousand, directly enter the city? Naturally, all the soldiers put down their weapons and took off their armor before entering the city to accept surrender.
Bai Shan smiled and agreed, and then went out of the palace with Man Bao.
The officials sent to receive them took them to the post station, while euphemistically expressing that Kucha is not the Central Plains, and the medicinal materials are not complete, and some of the medicinal materials they are looking for may not be found.
Man Bao expressed his understanding and said that he would be satisfied as long as he could buy half of General Guo.
The two sides reached a consensus, and everyone was very happy. The official said that tomorrow he would personally bring people and medicinal materials to meet them.
When the people left, Bai Shan signaled Daji to close the door, and then said to Jin Kui'an, "They still don't trust us, obviously they don't intend to let us contact other people."
Jin Kuian asked, "Then what should we do?"
Erge asked: "Master Bai, is there any other way to contact the people in the city?"
Bai Shan said: "I'll do my best, you don't have to worry, just follow my gestures and act tomorrow."
Jin Kuian always felt that they were yellow-haired boys who were unreliable in their affairs, but Erge believed in them. Bai Shan didn't let them intervene, so he didn't intervene anymore, but stayed in the post station to eat and drink with peace of mind, waiting for the arrival of the next day.
Bai Shan and Man Bao looked at each other without speaking.
As dusk approached, Bai Shan and Man Bao tried to leave the inn for a stroll but were stopped. The officials who guarded them said, "The city has just undergone a war, and it is still very chaotic. The two adults can see that they are from the Central Plains." , unlike us, if you go to the street, you are afraid of accidents, for the safety of the adults, you'd better not go out."
Bai Shan said regretfully: "I wanted to take this opportunity to buy some things. Since it's inconvenient, I can only take a good look around Qiucha City later."
A group of people were restrained in the station, and Man Bao kept Keke paying attention to the situation at the camp.
But because the distance is a bit far, although it is still within the scanning range of Keke, many detailed things cannot be known in time.
It just stared at the open space and the door of the camp, and when it saw two horses running in quickly and being caught by someone, it passed along.
