Because of Sister Xianger, the Tubei Xianbei has officially changed its name to Tuoba Bianmen.

Liu Bei had not yet decided on how to resettle the Tuoba tribe. The main reason was that the Tuoba tribe fled west in a hurry and threw all the cattle and sheep on the grassland. Later, most of these families were plundered by the Southern Xiongnu and the Wuhuan tribes, and sold them to Linxiang at high prices. Now they have settled in Xilin City and live a comfortable life. Most of them have already started a family.

Liu Bei had already sent a letter to Yan Rou and others to count it. See how many Xianbei women still remember their husband's name. Those who have remarried or are unwilling to remember are not required to force them. The grassland women plundered and remarried are actually very common. In this era, Han women and Hu women are the same.

Li Zhubu and the opera clerk were preparing to record the distribution of Lou Sang's first generation of armor.

As mentioned earlier, armor, like gold and beauty, is a very valuable means of winning. Giving a good set of armor can win the hearts of warriors better than giving a thousand gold or ten beauties. After all, armor can save lives. Only with life can one be blessed to receive beauty and gold.

Liu Bei asked Sister Xianger to leave the tent and hand out the armor. He also asked the eight Xianbei commanders who personally gave the armor to raise the red deer flame horns and protect him around Tuoba Xiang to show his grandeur.

The purpose of this move is self-evident.

The expressions of other members of Tuoba's tribes show that this time the envoy was very successful. All the Xianbei warriors returned to their hearts.

After the men and horses were wearing armor, they would be able to make detailed mediations according to the military craftsmen. The replaced Xianbei armor is also of great use.

After the armor was distributed and the vehicles were cleared, Liu Bei realized that the hundreds of soldiers brought by Xi Zhicai were newly built water-drawing tank trucks in the Jiangzuo Pavilion.

It consists of three major components: water holder, connector, water drawer.

There is a two-layer "field"-shaped iron-clad wood frame in the upper and lower layers. There are eight cowhide water bags in the frame. Each of the eight bags is connected to a hard water-dividing pottery pipe. The main water pipe at the other end is connected to a telescopic water-drawing bamboo tube. There is also a foot pumping device similar to a water drain next to the bamboo tube, which can draw water from the oasis.

The reason why the connector composed of water separator and main water pipe is made of pottery is that it can be fired together. There is also a multi-layer filter in the bamboo pipe water drawer to filter impurities in the water. It can be disassembled freely for easy cleaning and replacement. The design is very clever.

The principle is also very simple.

The enamel steel wheels of the water-drawing tank truck also have mechanisms. The wheel width can be adjusted to facilitate traveling in the soft desert.

There is no advanced technology. It is just a combination of existing mechanisms and then applied, but it brings unexpected results. Just imagine, there are hundreds of water storage tankers that accompany you all the way, so drinking water should be convenient.

The reason why Qu Yi was quick to whip his horse and led 900 soldiers to Juyan westward was that he had to camp in the desert and wilderness for more than 4,000 miles of journey. There was a strong soldiers and chariot camp, which was safe, natural and worry-free.

Half a month later, Shi Huan returned safely.

Bringing An Xuan avenger from Dunhuang border city.

Please enter the big tent and the guest and the host took a seat. After hearing Liu Bei's words, An Xuan said: "There is Pujiao wine (wine) in Gaochang, why should you go to Kucha?"

"Oh?" Liu Bei was stunned.

Gaochang is a famous Silk Road city as famous as Jiaohe. During the former Han Dynasty, General Li Guangli led his troops to farm here and set up the "Gaochang Wall". Now the Han Dynasty sent Wuji School Commander to station in this city to manage the farming. Therefore, it is also called "Wuji School Commander City".

The so-called "block" and "wall" refer to "blocking the city". "Blocking" all have the meaning of a military fort and a castle. Detailedly distinguishing, "blocking" is generally larger than a "wall". From a structural point of view, the wall generally uses the terrain, and has a defensive wall, and a fort is built behind the wall. The barrier city is a complete military castle with four walls.

"This is inappropriate." An Xuan replied: "If you only want to sell wine, you don't need to go to Kucha to seek distance."

Liu Bei nodded: "In your opinion, what should we do?"

"In front of me, a wealthy businessman from Maoling in Chang'an arrived in Dunhuang with a huge silk caravan. I have bought all the silks by me and are preparing to ship them to Dayuan for purchases of Dayuan's good horses and then transport them back to Dunhuang for sale." An Xuan replied.

Use Dahan silk to exchange for Dayuan horses and then transport them back to Dahan for sale. Now the horse price is extremely high, so you will definitely make a big profit. This commercial line is very efficient and very reasonable.

Liu Bei couldn't help but ask, "Did you sell silk from the wealthy merchant in Maoling sell it to you?"

Seeing Liu Bei's expression, An Xuan suddenly realized: "So that's it! Every drink and peck, is it the previous determination. This is God's will. It is the will of the merchants in the Western Regions, and it is the king and marquis."

Liu Bei asked with a smile: "Since it is God's will, can you please accompany me?"

"Dare you not obeying?" An Xuan bowed with a look of his face.

He ordered someone to take An Xuan down to rest. Liu Bei then promoted the tent to discuss matters.

Describe the feelings in detail. The chief clerk Li Ru said: "In this way, the lord and the merchant An Xuan went out of Yumen, took Shanshan and walked on the northern line to Kucha. He ordered a army to go out of Jianshui Jin Pass, passed Yiwu, stationed in Gaochangbi, recovered Liuzhongcheng, and defended himself, thinking that he was suspicious of the army. He ordered the commander of Juyan's vassal state to lead four thousand Xiaoyuezhi cavalry out of Yumen, passed Shanshan, and occupied Qulicheng, and responded from afar."

Xi Zhicai smiled and said, "The chief clerk wants to take the initiative to attack the east and the west?"

"That's right." Li Ru replied with a smile.

Liu Bei also realized: "The caravans go first, and the two armies dragged behind. Let Kucha and Qiufu all think that our army should take steady steps and advance slowly. Therefore, we do not be prepared for the caravans."

"Lord, see clearly." Li Ru smiled slightly: "Shenbei saw that we were defending the city and farming for self-sufficiency, and thought we wanted to fight for a long time. However, the lord attacked the city and killed the generals and seized the pass. After subduing Kucha, he led his troops to occupy Wulei City. He spread the scouts and searched for nearby oasis and water sources. If the Xianbei advances and retreats, he will have no way to retreat, and he will be exposed for a long time. At that time, several armies will be launched together, and one battle will be decided."

Looking around the generals, Liu Bei asked, "Who is willing to lead troops to garrison Gaochang?"

Xu Rong and Cheng Pu clasped their fists and said, "I'm willing to go!"

Liu Bei nodded happily: "Let's go with the chief clerk. The orders are prohibited along the way. You need to accept the chief clerk's words and do not underestimate the enemy and advance rashly."

"Here!"

Liu Bei looked at Xu Huang again, Zang Ba: "Gongming, Xuan Gao."

"The last one is here!" The two stood up and knelt for a long time.

"He led the wolf cavalry of the headquarters and went out to fight with the army. He attacked the city and drew the villages, and followed the orders of the chief clerk."

"Here!"

"Zhongming, Shuwei." Liu Bei took military orders in his hand.

"I am humble." Cao Duan Wei and Zhang Meng both stood up.

"Beat the banner of the chief of the Western Regions, attract the family members of the old soldiers of Pingqiang, and go to Gaochang with 6,000 Xianbei cavalry to carry out military farming. Remember, the military farming must be made big and well-known to everyone."

"Here!"

Liu Bei finally looked at his two brothers.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, then clasped their fists: "Brother!"

"Two brothers are walking with me."

"Here!"

After rushing for 600 miles, the Qu family, who had entered the Hexi Corridor, first arrived and took their soldiers and chariots to Dunhuang to meet with Liu Bei and others.

After everything was settled, Liu Bei took the night to lead his troops and set off with Xi Zhicai and others. He went along the Ruoshui to Dunhuang. Shi Huan, Bai Zhuo, and his two brothers accompanied him with a hundred embroidered officials. Apart from this, he did not lead many troops.

Even if the Qu family first ascended, there were only a hundred people. The remaining nine hundred ascended, all of them were left to guard the Chang'an camp and guard the Three Auxiliary.

Bet with His Majesty for 100 million yuan. In this battle, there must be no more than 360 people.
Chapter completed!
