The best strategy of the chief clerk Li Ru was to let Liu Bei go straight in and capture the capital of Kucha, Yancheng.

Yancheng "around five or six miles, the city has three levels, the palace is magnificent, the residence is magnificent, the outer city and Chang'an city, etc. The room and house are magnificent, and the lapels are filled with gold and jade."

He rebuked the King of Kucha again and explained the pros and cons. The King of Kucha was originally established by the Han court. Why do you need a sharp blade and a neck? It is said that when you see the chief of the Western Regions in person, you will inevitably surrender.

Once Kucha surrenders, the surrounding small countries will inevitably descend upon the wind and return to the embrace of the Han court. In this way, the Qifu Xianbei who was not in charge of the supply could only go to the oasis to get water and graze, and they would reveal their whereabouts over time. At that time, they would be determined by the battle. The Silk Road could be opened, and Liu Bei could return after success.

The problem is that there are more than 4,300 miles from Jianshui Jin Pass to Kucha Yancheng.

How can you not be discovered by Kucha with such a long marching journey?

Once discovered by Kucha, the turtle shrank into the city and cleared the fields. Liu Bei led a strange army to come from afar without any siege. How can he defeat it in one battle? In the long run, he will have no food and retreat. This time he comes with power, he will definitely succeed in one battle. Otherwise, the power will be destroyed and the countries in the Western Regions will be even more despised. If you want to conquer it, it will be even more difficult.

The only feasible solution is like when Chang'an, he disguised himself as a silk caravan, walked the northern line, and just passed through the border of Kucha. He quietly came to the city and fought again. This plan was accomplished.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei called Cao Duan Wei to his mansion and asked secretly: "Where is the wealthy businessman in Maoling before?"

Duan Wei replied: "I have returned to Chang'an with the caravan."

The wealthy businessman in Maoling was also the direct line of the Duan Taiwei's army. He served as a minor official in the army, and his ancestral home was Maoling. Later, he returned to his hometown to do business. Duan Taiwei's money was distributed to disabled old soldiers from all over the country through him. The silk caravan arrived in Dunhuang safely, and everyone made great profits. As soon as the Tufa Xianbei was destroyed, he returned home first.

"It's a pity." Liu Bei wanted to use the same trick again, and with the cover of the caravan, he walked west. He arrived at the city of Kucha without knowing it.

Duan Wei understood it: "Does the lord want to use the same trick again? He pretended to be a caravan and attacked Kucha?"

"That's right." Liu Bei replied with a smile.

"When I go and ask for a while, see if I can reorganize the caravan."

"You must do it secretly and never let go of the news." Liu Bei hurriedly reminded.

"Here!" Duan Wei left.

Three days of rest and recuperate, and only two days have passed. At night, Liu Bei read at night with no trouble. He thought about good strategies to defeat the enemy. He couldn't sleep for a long night, and Sister Wan'er also walked out of the inner room and served her side. Seeing Liu Bei frowned, she tried to say, "What my husband is worried about is a surprise attack on Kucha?"

"I'm not hiding my wife, I'm worried about how the gods and ghosts march for more than 4,000 miles."

Sister Wan'er smiled and said, "Sisters of the An family may relieve their worries for their husbands."

"Oh?" Liu Bei was stunned and asked, "Where are the An sisters?"

Sister Wan'er then summoned An Ruosu, An Ruoshui, An Ruomeng, An Ruochen, and the four sisters from the inner room.

"Master forgive me. I accidentally heard a secret conversation with Duan Mansion Cao, and then I remembered that someone might be able to use it for my master." An Ruosu pleaded guilty.

"Get up and talk." Liu Bei nodded softly: "It's okay to hear major military affairs. But you can't spread it privately. Otherwise, military law will be dealt with." The An sister is a personal maid. It's normal to hear some words in the tent. Just keep your mouth shut and you can be fine.

"I know." The four of them stood up.

Sister Wan'er smiled and said, "Let me tell you this person in detail with your husband."

"This person is from Anxi, my hometown. His name is Xuan. He is a famous wine merchant on the Silk Road. The fine wine sold by Hu Ji wine shops in Mashi City, Luoyang, all of which were asked to come from the Western Regions. An Xuan has a stolen in Dunhuang. You may use his name to go to Kucha."

Liu Bei was overjoyed: "Can this person be trusted?"

"This person has a close relationship with his former master (A Restaurant An). He heard that he was also a royal family in Anxu. The lord might as well call him to see him in person." An Ruosu said.

"It's so good." Liu Bei smiled happily, "If this matter is done, you should wait for it!"

What Liu Bei didn't know was.

An Xuan is also a famous figure in history. He is another Western scripture translator who promoted Buddhism in the Central Plains after An Shigao.

An Xuan: Anxi merchant, a scripture translator in the Han Dynasty. Emperor Ling came to Luoyang to do business in the late years and gradually became familiar with Chinese. He often talked about Buddhism with monks. He was named "Qi Duwei" for his merits, and was known as "Duwei Xuan". Later, he and Yan Fodun translated the "Da Mirror Sutra" together.

By the way, I was awarded the title of "Cathing Commander" for my merits. Is it because I helped Liu Bei attack Kucha...

This is really, when someone just wanted to fall asleep, someone sent a rooster crowing pillow!

Liu Bei secretly ordered Shi Huan to lead a team of embroidered officials to escort the An sisters to the Dunhuang border city to look for the merchant An Xuan.

He also invited the chief clerk Li Ru to explain the details.

Li Ru was also overjoyed and said, if you use the cover of the Western Regions caravan, you will definitely succeed in this battle!

Three days later, the guards came to report. A convoy was heading south along Juyansai and heading straight for Jianshui Jin Pass.

Liu Bei climbed up to take a long distance from the mirror. It was the Linxiang Organ fleet!

"The drama officer Shilai!"

The door was closed and Liu Bei led all the generals out of the way to greet him.

Seeing the lord's flag from afar, Xi Zhicai hurriedly got out of the car and came to meet him.

"Watch the lord, please pay homage to the lord."

"Quickly, no gifts." Liu Bei smiled and helped him up: "The opera actor Shi has worked hard all the way. The big tent has prepared a banquet to welcome the servant Shi, and I will walk with me."

"Lord, please, first." Xi Zhicai hurriedly retreated.

"Please ask for it first, the official," Liu Bei made a humble decision.

But the chief clerk Li Ru smiled and said, "Why not walk with me?"

"This is a great good word." Liu Bei laughed.

Liu Bei held his hand and walked around with everyone. He sent Xi Zhi first to return to the tent to wash and change clothes. Then he came to the tent to meet him.

By the way, it is because they often wash and change clothes and take off their shoes and go into the room to avoid any odor. Unlike the Hu people who like to wear leather boots, the Han people wear footwear, cloth shoes, wash and wash frequently, and change footwear. They often wear wooden clogs at home, so they do not smell bad feet. Remember, remember.

When Liu Bei first came, he saw that his mother had to scrub the floor carefully before going to bed every night so that she could live every day without dust. Even if every family in later generations had wooden floors, she could not achieve her mother's exquisiteness.

The big ones are seen from the small. The style of the great Han Dynasty is intimidating.

If you don’t believe it, change to a pair of white socks and try walking around at home?

Will the socks soon become black? Even after two thousand years, we still fail to live the simplicity and exquisiteness of a great man?

The ancients often used white cloth for footwear. Think about it, if the floor is covered with dust, it would be so embarrassing to go along the way.

The large tent is a twelve enhanced "barracks carriages" that are assembled in the shape of "field". The more people, the more narrow the ground, but the better the compactness.

The lord and minister sat down.

Li Ru and Xi Zhicai attended the meeting in the west. The two brothers attended the meeting in the east. The generals sat in turn. They raised their glasses and drank happily, and the atmosphere was warm.

When I listened to the opera Zhicai first talked about the fourteen Xianbei plundering the Dongqiang people, and then talked about what I saw and heard in Linxiang. He also said that the eldest lady was healthy, the wife and the mother and son were healthy, the wife Lizhu and the daughter were safe, and Mrs. Lian was at ease to be born. Finally, the ten cities in Linxiang were prosperous. The fourteen adults bought hundreds of ships of famous goods and only took away five zhu coins, and the whole country was busy.

Everyone listened carefully and felt it was very interesting.

Xi Zhicai is good at eloquence. He is vivid and vivid, and is extremely vivid.

Even Li Ru, who had never been to Linxiang, couldn't help but fascinate. Speaking of which, the whole family had moved to Linxiang's mansion to live in peace. The last time the family wrote, my mother and wife only said that life was beautiful, just like a dream. Now, after listening to the opera, I only knew what a prosperous scene was, and it was as bright as a dream.

After this matter is over, I will definitely return to Lin Township with my lord.
