Chapter 2299

General ashner also felt that General Guo was too extravagant and playful, but he didn't say anything. He just said to his deputy, "restrain the soldiers. We will go to battle in Kucha in a few days."

The Deputy answered and asked, "an old nobleman from Gaochang is visiting..."

"All refused," said general ashner indifferently. "Unless it's military affairs, the rest of the people won't see you."

Because General Guo likes luxury, the local nobles like it very much. In fact, the local people in Xizhou also like General Guo very much.

Although he was extravagant, he rarely collected money and food from them. They all intercepted the spoils during the war, or asked for some beautiful tools to play with passing merchants. It was called escort caravan.

He did not take money from the local people, but also maintained local law and order. Naturally, he was loved. Only after Liu Huan and his colleagues came here did the local people in Xizhou begin to see General Guo's jokes.

In the past, although we vaguely thought he was extravagant, we didn't think there was anything. We thought that all the nobles in the central plains were so extravagant.

After all, their royal family used to be extravagant, didn't they?

Because of this, general ashner didn't want to comment on General Guo's words and deeds. He just came to collect Kucha and left after the war, but this place still needs General Guo to manage.

He thought no one could disturb him when the order went on. But the next day someone reported, "general, someone asked to see you outside."

General ashner frowned slightly, "who is it?"

The soldier presented a post and said, "it's a mission to the western regions to look for the cowpox method under the orders of the emperor."

General ashner took the post, opened it and asked, "what are they doing to see me? This will just go on an expedition and do not manage local affairs. They should go to the capital guard. "

The soldier said, "general, there is Princess Mingda's future son-in-law in the mission."

General ashner took back the post he had just left, looked at it again and asked, "I remember that the chief officer of the mission is a doctor of the Tai hospital?"

"Yes, I heard that she was the first to treat smallpox, and she cured her Royal Highness's disease."

General ashner said, "please come in."

After a pause, he thought it was bad to meet guests here and said, "please go to the lobby."

The soldiers went.

Mr. Zhuang and Nie didn't come to join the army. They only asked the six of them to bring a box of tea by themselves.

On the public identity, Zhou man's identity is enough; In terms of private identity, Bai Cheng's identity is just right. If he comes, it's not right.

So there were six people standing in the lobby.

General ashner was also surprised by them when he came out. It's true that no one's identity is simple except Zhou Liru.

Especially Liu Huan.

Now they still need money and food from the Ministry of household to fight the war. It is conservatively estimated that the war will last until the end of the year or next year, and they need a lot of food and grass.

When I think of the documents I received last time, the Ministry of household is crying poor. There was a smallpox epidemic at the beginning of this year. There was a flood in Jinzhong in June and July, and the Ministry of household gave me some money. In addition, in the north of xiazhou this year, they are basically asking for food, but they can't pay any national tax, so the Ministry of household is also very rare this year.

General ashner knew that if Kucha had not gone too far this year and colluded with the West Turks to cut off the business route, his Majesty would not want to levy Kucha.

After all, in the autumn of last year, Dajin and kuci were still in love with each other and exchanged documents and gifts. At that time, the king of kuci generously invited General Guo's capital guard to put it in kuci, looking like they wanted to change their country into a vassal town. Who knows that just after a year, when there was smallpox in xiazhou, kuci turned his face and didn't recognize anyone?

Thinking of these powerful relationships, general ashner smiled at Liu Huanyang, and also showed a kind smile to Zhou man and Bai Erlang. After they were exempted, he said gently, "please sit down."

He looked at them and felt that they were not old, and they looked two or three years older than his son, so he became more friendly, "how long have you been in the western regions? How was your trip? Are you used to it here? "

Finally, I asked them about their errands, "is there any news about cowpox?"

Seeing that he was so kind, man Bao put down most of his heart and answered one by one, especially highlighting the two horse thieves and one Tubo soldier they met when they came over, with heavy casualties.

Finally, I mentioned the return trip together.

General ashner did not expect that they had thought of returning to the dynasty. He couldn't help laughing and thought they were still children.

It's so simple to fight a war. He doesn't know what will happen tomorrow today, let alone so far later. He doesn't know when he can end the war.

Therefore, he said with a smile: "the business road to Yumen pass has been opened. When we came here, the bandits on the road were suppressed by the imperial army. From Liangzhou to Suzhou, and then to Yumen pass, even the desert around Yumen pass was turned over three times by General Guo Xiao. You have soldiers to protect you, and then play the banner of Da Jin. I'm afraid they don't dare to collide with you again."

Bai Shan mentioned Jin kui'an, who caused them heavy losses. "I heard that he has some power in the western regions. Now he works for General Guo. If we go back this time, if he wants to harm us, the desert will be vast, I'm afraid he will succeed."

This was a clear complaint, but general ashner didn't hate it. Instead, he was dissatisfied with General Guo. He frowned and said, "why should General Guo use such a ferocious man?"

Bai Shan said, "maybe it's because he's brave. He can be ten for one. It's very powerful."

General ashner sighed, thought for a moment and said, "if you want to go back at this time, I will send a small team to escort you. General Guo knows that he will restrain his subordinates. Just rest assured."

He looked at some young people, smiled and said, "if you want to stay more time and go home with me, it's estimated that you'll have to wait a long time. It'll snow here after September. It'll be a big snow in October and November. It's not easy for you to think about the grassland again. You have to wait until next year, so you can think about it carefully."

Man Bao and Bai Shan looked at each other.

Two humanitarians: "we have to go back and ask the mission."

The mission's opinion is to listen to them.

Nie joined the army and said, "since Lord Zhou said that the vaccination method can be tried, why don't we try it here before we go? If there is something wrong, we can continue to inquire, but if we find something wrong when we return to the capital, we can't come all the way to the western regions again? "

They think so, too.

Their goal this time is the vaccination method. If this method can work, they will make great achievements after they go back. Now Zhou man, they have only found out some steps, but the specific formula is still unknown, let alone determined. They go back like this. They are afraid that they will be guilty if they have no work.

But we still have to listen to Zhou man.

Coincidentally, man Bao thought so, so he said, "it seems that we have to find general Guo and talk about the cowpox test."
