Chapter 769

Li Kuang came to arrange the troops to retreat in batches to lure the Western coalition forces. He received a report from the scouts in front that the Western coalition forces were retreating in an all-round way. It should be said that he was really confused at that moment.

The Han people in the Bureau don't know much about the real data of how much the western people lost after the camp was burned, just as the western people don't know the situation of the Han people. In addition to guessing each other's intelligence, the two sides draw conclusions from various details.

Li Kuang can get the concept that the Western allied forces have suffered a great loss from the intelligence, but he can't know that the Western allied forces are weak enough to defeat at one blow. If he is brave enough, he doesn't have to wait for Xie an to lead the army, and he can eat the enemy alone, so he is not destined to be a peerless general.

Knowing the news of the retreat of the Western allied forces, Li Kuang wondered whether the Western allied forces were setting traps. The army he led is not a standing army, but a miscellaneous army trained for several months. It's normal to be cautious. It's also related to whether he can be promoted to Zhonglang general. How dare he gamble easily?

Therefore, on the one hand, Li Kuang sent scouts to inquire about more information, such as whether reinforcements from the western regions had arrived, and those arrived were hiding in the dark waiting for an ambush; On the other hand, he ordered the troops to be ready to pursue at any time, and the troops who had previously made the illusion of retreat were recruited back.

After a day's waste, Li Kuang didn't find any signs of traps arranged by the western people from the many intelligence explored by the scouts. He discussed with long Shi Fanjin, sent someone to report Xie an, clenched his teeth and ordered the cavalry to pursue, while the infantry chased behind in the form of forced Army.

Li Kuang's headquarters was about a hundred miles away from the Western alliance led by Bai Ku Suo. Bai Ku's headquarters retreated for two days before Li Kuang pursued them.

It was four days later that the cavalry of the Han Army caught up with the retreating Western allied forces. Li Kuang was so brilliant that he regretted his guts. There were not many enemy troops killed. He seized nearly 100000 livestock of all colors and nearly 1000 baggage carriages and ox carts.

What can I regret after seizing so much? Li Kuang learned from the interrogation of the prisoners that the materials seized by the Han army were sent back. The Western allied forces were eager to retreat and ran away without any control. Under such circumstances, there was no trap at all in the retreat of the Western allied forces. If he had the courage to pursue at the beginning, the results would be more brilliant.

The pursuit lasted for half a month. The Han Army stopped when it was 50 li away from the white dragon pile. During this period, the people of the western regions did not send reinforcements.

Waiting for Li Kuang to lead the infantry to arrive, the results of the war had long been calculated by Fan Jin who arrived one step first.

"The left ear is 4600, there are nearly 120000 livestock, and 1627 baggage of various colors." Fan Jin is different from Li Kuang. He has no regrets. He is elated that his side can seize so many materials: "most of the luggage is mainly wealth and goods, and a small amount of food and grass."

They returned to the white dragon heap fifty miles away. The next thing they had no accident was to attack the white dragon heap. The seized wealth can be used as a reward, and the soldiers who received the reward must have a great morale boost. It is a matter of pride to spend other people's money to boost the morale of our own army, and then command the troops with high morale to attack the enemy.

There are several boxes in the military tent. The covers of the boxes are all open. One box is full of gold coins, one box is full of silver coins, and the other boxes are either jewels or silk. Those are the properties that the Kucha people are going to give to all tribes.

It is very funny that most of the gold and silver coins of the Kucha people are Persian styles, which may come from Persian Sasan or be made by the Kucha people after Persian Sasan.

There are several gold and silver coins on Li Kuang's desk. He has just seen them. The front of the gold and silver coins are figures, and the back is all kinds of buildings or Feng Shui. There are several patterns on the head and back of the gold and silver coins, which should be forged in different ages.

"Indeed, most of them come from sassanne, as well as gold and silver coins from Rome." Olus Setus Cicero has always been with the army, but he doesn't have a strong sense of existence. He specially took out several and introduced who the heads were. Behind them, he held a gold coin: "the pattern of this gold coin is our Constantine I."

Li Kuang was not in the mood to understand the background of those gold and silver coins. He only knew that if he had more courage, he could make great achievements. However, he wasted his fighters because of caution. He was always full of regret and depression.

"Your late emperor?" Fan Jin was as like as two peas in the same way. "What is the cross of" + "?

Olus Setus Although Cicero has been following the Han Army to the western regions, he has never been able to participate in any military meetings, and even his freedom in the army has been limited. Instead of protesting, he was more cooperative. He was not modest or afraid of the Han country. It was impossible for any country to disclose its immediate military action plan to outsiders. It was very friendly to allow him to follow.

"Cuneiform?" Olus Setus Although Cicero can communicate with people in Chinese, he really doesn't understand everything. After figuring out what cuneiform is, he said with an obviously confused expression: "our cuneiform is borrowed from the Greeks, Egyptians and Persians also use cuneiform. In known countries, believers use cuneiform as well."

No one has yet started linguistics and Philology, olus Setus The cuneiform characters mentioned by Cicero are actually a large category, and there are even fallacies. For example, the Greeks tend to be linear characters, the Egyptians simply are hieroglyphics, and ah San is seal characters, or has his own classification. Contemporary Persian characters are serious cuneiform characters. The characters used by Persians became tadpole characters after the rise of Arabs.

Zhuxia also had the stage of using cuneiform characters. It is said that the earliest cuneiform characters were only oracle bone inscriptions.

There is also a Mayan character in the world's earliest character category. Mayan characters are also the most "cute" in the category. Characters are almost the same as paintings. You can often see the shape of human faces or animal faces, but the facial features and outlines of human faces and animal faces are different. Multiple facial makeup form a character, and a character contains many interpretation methods.

Fan Jin is just listening. He doesn't mean to delve into it.

"This' + 'cross is the symbol of our national religion." Olus Setus Cicero was very complicated when talking about the national religion. The national religion God they believed in was killed by their ancestors. Now they turn back to believe. It's really hard to describe: "it's called the cross."

"National religion?" It was the first time Fan Jin knew that there was a state religion in Rome: "Er, you killed your son who believed in God?"

It's olus Setus Cicero introduced it himself. He didn't add any personal feelings when he said it. He was completely stating history.

It's very strange that the Romans executed Jesus, the spear that killed Jesus became an artifact, the cloth that wrapped Jesus' body became an artifact, the cup that accompanied Jesus for the last dinner became an artifact, and even the coffin that converged Jesus' body at the back also became an artifact.

Li Kuang and Fan Jin were stunned. They didn't know what the Roman head melon seeds were. Even those who believed in killing themselves became artifacts. If the artifacts came like that, they could kill some people and make them in batches.

"Faith is a very sacred thing." Olus Setus Cicero was unhappy. He also knew that it was weird. He said to Fan Jin that mass manufacturing artifact would produce a more serious sense of absurdity. While he felt it reasonable, he absolutely could not admit: "our attitude towards faith is pious and serious."

Fan Jin himself brought the topic to other places. He felt that if he continued, it would not be impossible for the Han Dynasty to break out a war with Rome. After all, even if he didn't mean to ridicule, it's really absurd to be reasonable. Can artifact come like that?

"Any race has its own beliefs." Olus Setus Cicero said very, very seriously: "no matter we, or Persians, Greeks, Germanic, Celts, Slavs, Goths, believers... Except you cyris, every race is very pious about faith."

"We are also very pious about faith!" Fan Jin didn't want to say anything about God. As soon as he heard it, he retorted: "our piety for faith is far more than you think."

"As far as I know, cyris people are pan believers. They can believe in all things and don't believe in everything in the blink of an eye." Olus Setus Cicero asked with an unbelievable expression, "is this the piety of faith?"

"Of course we are." Fan Jin said very seriously, "we believe in the son of heaven, we believe in our ancestors, and our faith in the son of heaven and our ancestors will never change."

Olus Setus Cicero almost suffocated. He can't say that the dynasties of Zhuxia have been changing. The so-called belief in the son of heaven will never change. Obviously, it has been changing all the time. One thing he has to admit is that the Han people's belief in their ancestors has not changed. He also knows one thing. The belief in the East always needs "mutual benefit", but it is not the kind of unconditional provision of food for the God of faith.

Li Kuang ignored two people who were talking nonsense. He was counting the days with his fingers.

They returned to the bailongdui 50 miles away. Xie an will lead the army to arrive in five days. At that time, Li Kuang's command of the army will be transferred.

At this time, all they can do is stabilize and make sufficient preparations for the arrival of follow-up troops. At least the camp needs to be expanded. The more detailed the investigation of the enemy, the better.

"The reward for meritorious officers and men will be done when Zhonglang will come." Li Kuang's voice forced Fan Jin to concentrate on dealing with it: "the corresponding records and long history should be ready."

Fan Jin replied seriously, "promise!"

Li Kuang can distribute the reward before Xie an comes. He has the right to do so before the transfer of command. However, he understands the truth of being a man. Doing so will definitely evil Xie an, and he has no need to buy people's hearts.

Xie an distributed the reward so that he could be accepted by the vanguard army in the shortest time, which was conducive to commanding the first batch of soldiers entering the western regions. At the same time, Li Kuang's doing so was also a favor.

Li Kuang, who wanted to wait for xie'an to come, spent three days in An'an. On the fourth day... That is, two days before xie'an arrived, he received an intelligence.

In the same military account, but the people in the account have changed, olus anyway Setus Cicero did not participate. Except for important military affairs, all generals and schools, including captain and above, were present.

"The enemy in bailongdui is retreating." At the military affairs conference, Li Kuang always used the shortest language and the most straightforward words: "Di and Ding left the camp first, which led to the withdrawal of other forces."

Fan Jin has just stated what is happening for the generals. He hasn't had time to guess and analyze. He has to wait for Li Kuang to show his tendency.

"Their evacuation was sudden." Li Kuang had no clue why the di and Dingling people took the lead in leaving: "according to our investigation, the people of the western regions were cutting off the river with white dragons piled in the East last year, and built a defense chain around puchanghai, with the intention of fighting us with puchanghai as the center."

It's really abnormal. The Han army came 50 miles away from the white dragon pile again, and the western region coalition army did just that. When the Han army first came fifty miles away from bailongdui, the people of the western regions would at least send a small group of troops to harass and discuss the war. This time, it was only a frequent scout battle.

There was no large-scale action by the western region coalition, and senior leaders of the vanguard army, including Li Kuang, thought that the western region coalition had just lost a big loss and had not calmed down for a while.

For any military action, the larger the scale of the action, the more preparations to be made in advance. It's really not as simple as patting your head and pulling people to "Hula" and rushing up desperately. Li Kuang and others have such speculation, which is completely reasonable.

The intelligence spied by the Han army is that the Di people and the Ding people are breaking away. If only the Di people and the Ding people leave, it can only be said that they will not participate in the World War I. The problem is that a considerable number of local forces in the western regions are also withdrawing, which is worth discussing and thinking about.

"Doesn't make sense?" Liu Rui has a strong sense of existence because of his military achievements. At the same time, the potential rule is to have the right to speak: "they spend time, energy and financial resources to build defense. The best thing to fight with us is to use those defenses. Even if there is any conspiracy, can it change the gap between the combat power of both sides?"

That's where Li Kuang was confused. They didn't know that the Di people and Ding Ling people didn't play with the western people. They not only didn't play with the western people, but also planned to go to Duyan city of the Kucha state to plunder them greatly.

In addition, those forces in the western regions who left with the Di people and the Ding people wanted to understand that they were scum. Without the involvement of the Di people and the Ding people, they did not intend to stay and die.
