Chapter 1114

"Wait a minute, Mo Hou!"

After the military discussion, Merton was about to leave. Three messengers suddenly caught up with Merton and bowed.

"What's the matter with the three heroes?" Merton looked back and said in surprise. The three messengers came and went for 14000 miles. Even Merton had to admire and call them heroes.

The messenger who reported the victory in the first place arched his hands and said, "I inform Marquis Mo that we are waiting in Chang'an city. An elder of the Mohist school asked us to send a message to Marquis Mo that Princess Changle has been pregnant for June."

"Is that true?" Merton was overjoyed at the speech and calculated the day. He left Chang'an City years ago. If Princess Changle was pregnant at that time, it would be right for the day.

At the thought of this possibility, he wished he could fly back to Princess Changle now. However, he knew that Princess Changle was weak, and it took three years for Princess Changle to conceive again. June of pregnancy was the time to be accompanied.

"It's true. My brothers and I inquired about it. The people of Chang'an all know that Princess Changle is pregnant for June. If Marquis Mo goes back now, maybe she can catch up with Princess Changle's birth?" said Lang, the three messenger of success.

Merton was excited to hear that Princess Changle was pregnant, but Wen Yan shook his head firmly and said: "How can national affairs be mixed with personal affairs? Now I am in the Sui army's western expedition to Gaochang. Although the war has ended, it is far from the time of triumph. How can I abandon my colleagues and go back alone to accompany my wife and children to birth? It makes the world laugh. I believe Princess Changle will understand me."

The Tang army only initially decided on Gaochang city. If there was no big army to suppress it, I'm afraid Gaochang city would have another wave, so Merton did not hesitate to refuse the proposal of the messenger of victory.

Although he is worried about the safety of Changle and his children, he can also distinguish the importance. In addition, in Chang'an City, he has made sufficient arrangements. The maternal and child hospital has operated for several years, and the success rate of delivery has greatly improved. It doesn't matter whether he goes back or not.

In this way, although Merton was worried, he forced his patience, and gave a reward to the three messengers and thanked them very much.

"Thank you, marquis Mo!" the three messengers not only got benefits, but also had a good relationship with Marquis Mo, so they left with their hands.

"I'm going to be a father again." Merton roared excitedly after the three messengers left.

In addition, the tone of the three messengers who reported the victory was not strict. Soon, most of the western expedition army knew that Princess Changle was pregnant, and the generals congratulated Merton one after another. The whole western expedition army was happy.

Ten days later, the guards of Anxi Du sent by the imperial court finally arrived. When Merton saw the visitor, he couldn't help sighing. The history was surprisingly similar. The first guard of the western regions was the original one, the son-in-law Du Wei Qiao Shiwang.

However, Qiao Shiwang's son-in-law and Merton's son-in-law are not the same. Qiao Shiwang married Princess Luling, Li Yuan's daughter, and Merton married Princess Changle. In a word, Merton should call Qiao Shiwang his uncle.

However, in reality, the situation is the opposite. When Princess Changle is the first princess of the Tang Dynasty, Princess Luling is only an insignificant daughter of Li Yuan, not to mention that today's Mohist is famous all over the world. It is a world shock to break the city, but teacher Qiao is frustrated. This time, she wasted her great strength to get the position of capital protection in the western regions.

"Thank you mohou for your help!" said Qiao Shiwang sincerely.

He originally thought that it would be a hard job to serve as Anxi capital guard. Gaochang is known all over the world for its extremely hot and cold weather. Needless to say, the surrounding environment is more covetous by Western Turks. I'm afraid the newly established Anxi capital guard house must be in a difficult situation.

Not to mention, anxidu's guard house is far away from the Tang Dynasty. There are two thousand li of Gobi desert in the middle. It is difficult to supply. He is ready to bear hardships.

However, when he came to Gaochang, he found that Merton had laid a good foundation for him. When he saw the raisins in the shade rooms and tasted the delicious raisins, his original worry was immediately put into his stomach.,

With these raisins, and the residence of anxidu's guard house also chooses Jiaohe City closest to Datang, his life is much better, thanks to Merton.

"Where, where, this is Mo's work." Merton said modestly.

Qiao Shiwang sighed: "mohou's help is a great help to Qiao. By the way, when he entered the palace some time ago, he just met Changle. Unexpectedly, Princess Changle was pregnant for several months. Congratulations to mohou."

Merton learned the news of Princess Changle's pregnancy from the messenger of the good news. Maybe he was still a little suspicious. Now Mr. Qiao said personally that it might be absolutely true. At present, he was helpless to say, "Mo is far away in Gaochang. It's really hard for Changle."

"Mohou's family and country are in a dilemma. I believe Princess Changle can understand it." Qiao Shiwang complimented.

After greeting Merton for a moment, Qiao Shiwang left. After walking out of the firearm prison, Qiao Shiwang suddenly felt a move in his heart. Merton can be said to help him indirectly several times. Why didn't he help Merton once? Qiao Shiwang thought for a moment and suddenly turned to Hou Junji's account of the Chinese army.

After Qiao Shiwang left, Merton immediately welcomed another familiar guest.

"Brother Kong!" Merton met his old friend in a foreign country. He didn't expect to see Kong huisuo in Gaochang. Naturally, he was very happy.

"Brother mo." Kong huisuo hugged his fist and looked at the dark circle of Merton. He couldn't help sighing that once they had a similar start, but now the Mexican family is famous all over the world, but he is unknown. It seems that he must catch up.

"Brother Kong doesn't want to come thousands of miles. It must be to talk about homonymy." Merton exchanged greetings for a moment and went straight to the subject.

Kong huisuo nodded and said, "although there are differences in accents in Guanzhong, they can also be understood. The implementation of homonymy is not significant, and Gaochang is the new conquered place of the imperial court, which is the best place to experiment homonymy."

After learning about the news that the imperial court had set up anxidu palace, Kong huisuo understood that the imperial court would certainly follow the example of the eastern and Western Han Dynasties and govern the western regions. If he wanted to completely annex the western regions, the importance of homonymy would increase day by day. Moreover, he, a son of the Kong family, would surely be put in high position when he came to anxidu palace thousands of miles away. This was the stage for him to show his skills, Not to mention that Confucianism also helps behind the scenes.

Merton nodded and said, "your decision is correct. Datang will never give up the silk road. In the next step, the western regions will become a must."

Hearing Merton's affirmation, Kong huisuo was relieved. Even Merton thought so. Then he was right.

"However, Kong is still confused about how to start." Kong huisuo said in distress.

Merton laughed and said, "what's the difficulty? Who do you think needs to learn Chinese most in the western regions now? Naturally, those Hu merchants who need to do business in Datang."

"Hu merchants?" Kong huisuo's eyes lit up. If these Hu merchants want to do business in the mainland, they need to communicate with the Han people. Naturally, they need to speak Chinese.

"In addition, there are many descendants of the Han people in the western regions. I believe these people will not resist speaking the Han language,......."

With Merton's explanation, Kong huisuo suddenly became clear. Now the Anxi capital guard has just been established. It is impossible to promote homonymy in private schools. What Merton said is the best way.

"Thank you!" Kong huisuo said solemnly. The homonymy is the credit of Confucianism, but Merton did not avoid suspicion and took the initiative to offer advice. This friendship not only moved him.

Merton Shuanglang said, "you and my brother, why are you polite? Now we are all in Gaochang and have time to get together more."

Kong huisuo nodded silently, but said in his heart, "brother Mo is sorry. My little brother also wants to get together more. However, I'm afraid I can't wait there. Let you return to Chang'an City as soon as possible. It's also my little brother's reward for you."

……………………………………

"Dong Dong Dong!"

After many days, the drum of the Chinese Army's big tent sounded again. In the firearm supervisor, Merton suddenly looked up and looked at the direction of the Chinese Army's big tent. At this time, how could there be a drum? At present, he didn't dare to hesitate and rushed to the Chinese Army's big tent immediately.

After Merton arrived at the Chinese Army's big tent, several generals had arrived. With the sound of the drum, all the generals arrived, none of them.

Hou Junji sat on the throne, looked coldly at the generals, and suddenly stood up and said: "Throughout my military life, Lao Tzu followed his majesty to fight the world from the palace of King Qin until the Tang Dynasty unified the world. After countless wars and countless enemies, his soldiers were ordered to fight hard and bleed. However, a strange thing happened in my Chinese Army account recently, which was a strange thing I had never encountered in my life."

"Strange thing!" the generals frowned. I don't know what made Hou Junji so angry that he knocked a military drum directly.

Hou Junji looked around and said coldly, "during this period of time, a man with good hands and eyes, who is in Gaochang, asked people thousands of miles away to come to the general's Chinese Army's big account to ask for mercy. Let me take care of him and want him to return to Chang'an City in advance. You say, do you want the general to agree?"

The generals could not help being silent for a while. How could anyone who could be entrusted to bring words to the big account of the Chinese army be a simple figure? The generals moved in their hearts. Thinking of a recent rumor, they couldn't help thinking of a suitable person, and immediately kept silent again.

"If it's normal, I must let him go to the battlefield first, attack the city and be a scout." Hou Junji looked around and suddenly said with a smile: but now the battle of Gaochang is over, and with such good things, how can our general not be beautiful? "

"The beauty of becoming a man?" the generals were in an uproar. Unexpectedly, Hou Junji agreed. This is not Hou Junji's style.

Immediately, the generals turned their attention to the Mohist family. I'm afraid that the only one who can have such means and motivation to return to Chang'an city is the Mohist family. Now Princess Changle is about to give birth. I'm afraid the Mohist family has already been anxious to go back. It's their due intention to ask for mercy.

"This is a good thing. The royal highness of the Royal Highness is soon to be completed. The battle of Gao Chang has ended. There is nothing serious about the return of the ink to Changan." Hou Jun Ji laughed, and suddenly the whole atmosphere of what had been the main battle of the Chinese army was destroyed.

"However! In the battle of Gaochang, ink sacrificial wine destroyed the city with one blow. Military skill is the first. This is nothing to mention." Xue Wanjun echoed.

The No. 1 and No. 2 figures of the Tang army have voted, and the generals naturally agree one after another and congratulate Merton.

However, Merton suddenly stepped out of the line and bowed his hands to the generals: "thank you for your kindness. Mo has taken the lead. However, how can military law be like a child's play? Our army is on the western expedition. If Mo abandons his fellow robes and goes back to Chang'an city to produce with his wife, how do the generals and men look at it and how do his fellow robes look at it? At the end, he will be willing to return to the dynasty with the army and will never go back to Chang'an City alone."

The generals were shocked. They didn't expect that the mojiazi would refuse Hou Junji's kindness and take the initiative to refuse to return to Chang'an city.

Hou Junji frowned. If it weren't for Princess Changle but Li Shimin's eldest daughter, who had a special status, he didn't want to meddle in this business. Then he sighed: "the ink sacrifice is indeed open and aboveboard, but I'm afraid you don't know. Our army will return to the Dynasty. Otherwise, what do you think the general is doing when he hits the drum?"

"Ban Shi Hui Chao?" Merton was stunned. The generals were also stunned. Unexpectedly, Hou Junji ordered ban Shi Hui Chao at this time.

Hou Junji nodded and said: "It's true what Mo said before offering wine. Little Gaochang really can't feed 100000 troops. Now, if our 100000 troops are stationed again, we can only transfer grain from Yumen pass, otherwise Gaochang will be destroyed. Therefore, the general decided to return to the dynasty in advance. However, we still need to prevent the Western Turks from sneaking attack on Gaochang, so we can only let the troops withdraw to Yumen pass in batches to reduce some grain Grass pressure.

"Withdraw to Yumen pass in batches." Merton frowned.

Hou Junji nodded and said, "you have also experienced the difficulty of water shortage during our western expedition to Gaochang. In this vast Gobi desert, a large number of troops are not allowed to March, let alone this hot summer. I'm afraid the water shortage is more serious and can only be evacuated in batches, and your firearm supervisor is the first batch."

Merton thought about the hardships of the two thousand mile Gobi, and immediately understood the necessity of Hou Junji's doing so. However, he firmly shook his head and said, "the general's good intention is accepted by mo. Mo Hou and the firearms supervisor are willing to postpone the withdrawal to Chang'an City, and the first batch will be given to other armies!"

"Avoid suspicion!"

Everyone knows why Merton did this, but anyone knows that it is not easy to refuse such good things in Merton's situation.

Hou Junji said: "The general didn't let the first batch of firearm supervisors withdraw to Datang to take care of you. For one thing, there is no war in Gaochang city. Even if there is a war with Western Turks in the future, it is also a battle between cavalry. The firearm supervisor has no place to play. Moreover, as you said, the gunpowder of the firearm supervisor is about to run out. I'm afraid the rest of the gunpowder can't support it. I can't fight for long."

Merton was silent one after another. As Hou Junji said, the role of firearms prison in Gaochang has been minimal.

"Not to mention gunpowder is the top priority, and it is easy to be coveted to stay in Gaochang, so it is indisputable that the firearms supervisor took the lead in withdrawing from the Tang Dynasty, both public and private." Hou Junji said.

"Yes, we have no objection."

"Moreover, when mohou broke the city, his military achievements were outstanding, and the first batch of return deserved it."

"Mohou should not value false fame. Princess Changle is about to give birth. If you miss it because of fishing for fame, I'm afraid it's a lifelong regret."

………………

The generals advised one after another.

Seeing this, Merton proudly bowed his hands to the generals and said, "thank you for your success. Merton is grateful."

Niu JINDA said with a loud laugh, "it's polite to offer wine to mo. we are colleagues in the battlefield. We can deliver life and death, not to mention this little thing."

Merton silently thanked the crowd.

Later, Hou Junji announced the withdrawal strategy. According to Merton, the firearm supervisor was the first batch, followed by the second and third batch, and Hou Junji's headquarters was the last batch, choosing to return to the dynasty in winter.

After all, in winter, when the snow is closed, the West Turks are willing to covet Gaochang, but there is nothing they can do. They can only wait until next autumn to make plans.

After one year's operation, I believe Anxi capital guard has gained a firm foothold in Gaochang and is not afraid of any enemy.
