Chapter 370 Like a fish in water
The Loulan Kingdom now mobilized a batch of military rations from all over the city. In the Western Regions, most of the military rations that soldiers went to fight were meat, while Loulan was different because the Loulan Kingdom had mild climate and certain arable land and crop cultivation, and it was very rich in military rations, not a single dry meat.
Liu Yu thought he would leave the city smoothly, but before leaving, he still encountered some minor trouble. The Loulan people only allowed Liu Yu to follow him to the military camp, and did not allow Timur to accompany him, saying that he wanted to keep a hostage.
"Is this called sincerity?" Liu Yu became angry at the moment. "You dare to detain the woman of this man, so why don't you be afraid of being angry?"
The Loulan people probably think that the word "going angry" means "not following". In fact, what Liu Yu said is that if you don't let others go, you will destroy the country. The envoys of Shun Dynasty insisted so much that the Loulan people could only compromise. After all, the most urgent task now is to form an alliance with Shun Dynasty before the enemy is approaching. The Loulan people dare not use their country as bargaining chips to get angry with Liu Yu.
The convoy transported grain out of the city, and many of them were carried by manpower. After all, Loulan was just a Western Region country and was not advanced in car manufacturing technology. There were not many vehicles available for temporary retrieval in the city. The people of Shunchao borrowed more food than Loulan expected. However, the people of Loulan were cautious and transported more, and said that if Shunchao really sent troops to fight against Tubo with the Loulan coalition forces, there would be a steady stream of food delivered.
Loulan Kingdom has a vast land and a vast population, which is why it has developed more than 100,000 people. In recent years, Loulan has been storing food in preparation for the war with Tubo. Liu Yu has learned from Liu Wu that the cavalry led by Zhang Wuzhu this time was about 3,000 cavalry. At the peak of the army and horses in the entire Loulan Kingdom, there were 30,000 to 40,000 people. Compared with the food that their own country and their own soldiers and generals ate, they could not be considered vomiting blood this time.
Liu Yu was kidnapped into the city. He couldn't help but leave Loulan City. He felt very happy immediately. However, because he had not entered the military camp of Shunchao and could not fly freely like a free bird, Liu Yu was also very calm for the time being. He was looking at Liu Yu all the time, as if he wanted to see through Liu Yu.
"Ms. Chetu, you can be misunderstood when you look at a man like this." Liu Yu smiled and smiled at Chetu.
At this time, the two were riding horses and accompanying the grain transport convoy to the Shunchao Military Camp. Chetu was like a supervisor, preventing Liu Yu from being untrustful and not going back to the Shunchao Military Camp. In fact, Liu Yu did not plan to return to Loulan City again.
Chetu didn't care much about Liu Yu's words. In fact, she was used to Liu Yu's speech as if he was imaginative and indecent, and said coldly: "The envoy openly slandered His Highness the King of Our Country... to his face. If you report this to Her Majesty the Queen... you must be nice..."
Liu Yu smiled. It turned out that Qi Tu looked at him because of this incident, so he stretched out his hand to make a "please" gesture, as if he was not afraid of Qi Tu to say it.
I dare not say that this kind of thing is so serious, otherwise it would be very unfavorable to the diplomatic relations between the two countries and her own status. It seems that no emperor is willing to be accused of his concubine as a vixen.
Liu Yu didn't care so much, which made Qi Tu feel even more angry. But she had no choice but to be the envoy of Shun Dynasty. There was no way to rule it. As the national teacher of Loulan Kingdom, she was respected in the city, when did she ever suffer such a coward?
This section of the road was too long for Liu Yu, so he could only try his best to distract himself and make time pass faster.
"Have Miss Chetu married?" Liu Yu asked with a smile.
Che Tu glanced at Liu Yu and said, "What are you asking about this?"
"A graceful lady is a gentleman. It's not okay to ask? But logically speaking, with Miss Chetu's beauty and talent, even if she is not married, there should be a lot of bees and butterflies around her. Miss Chetu should be very annoying on weekdays, right?"
Che Tu frowned slightly and said, "Our men in Loulan are not as handsome as you Central Plains men."
"It seems that you men in Loulan are all gentlemen, but from my perspective, the Brukhan next to you has no good ideas for you. Maybe he plans to be a husband of the king and secretly raise you into a wild flower house!"
Che Tu pulled the knife angrily, and Liu Yu hurriedly turned the horse away from the angry woman. In fact, when Liu Yu first met Che Tu, he just thought she was an embroidered pillow, and she really wanted to sacrifice herself. Later, she was kidnapped by her, Liu Yu felt that this woman was still very anxious and wise and courageous. Such a woman was only interesting to be "flirtful".
After more than an hour of slow journey, the group finally approached the military camp of Shunchao. Zhang Wuzhu came out to greet him in person. When he saw Liu Yu, Zhang Wuzhu came over to hug Liu Yu. This action made Qi Tu who was watching the side frown. She couldn't understand the etiquette of meeting men in the Central Plains.
In front of the qitu, Zhang Wuzhu did not reveal Liu Yu's identity. After a few greetings with qitu, he began to ask people to store the food separately. Because the shelf life of meat and food is different, it must be properly stored, otherwise the food will be easily decomposed by moisture.
Zhang Wuzhu was a rough man and didn't know how to beat around the bush. While leading the way forward, he kept shouting along the way. Liu Yu followed with a smile behind him, while Chetu looked at the two of them strangely. She had already felt that Shunchao's envoy was respected by the highest commander of the Shunchao army. This kind of respect was like a subordinate facing his superior.
The feeling of Qitu became stronger as the team entered the Shunchao military camp. Although Zhang Wuzhu had already ordered that the vanguard general should not disclose his identity when entering the camp, the soldiers heard that the commander came and lined up early to wait. This scene surprised Liu Yu, not to mention that the Qitu had already been to Shunchao military camp.
The soldiers rushed over and approached Liu Yu. Many new recruits also tried to come and see how many arms and legs the veterans said were, and a bunch of people surrounded him. Chetu thought Liu Yu would not be able to withstand it, but Liu Yu was also very enthusiastic and natural. There were many of them, and he often heard him say, "You kid is not dead yet? Next time, let your general transfer you to the front line as the vanguard." "I've been promoted? I've only two levels, which really embarrass the people of the Sixth Army." Chetu realized that Liu Yu was quite familiar with these soldiers.
"Stand up, go back, don't get closer!" Seeing that more and more people were crowded, Zhang Wuzhu was afraid that Liu Yu would blame him for his dereliction of duty, so he had to use the style of a general to scare the soldiers. After Zhang Wuzhu's order, the soldiers reluctantly avoided and made a way out, allowing Liu Yu to enter the central army's tent.
Entering the tent of the central army, Chetu was about to report the food delivery situation to Zhang Wuzhu, the general of the Shunchao army, and found that the Shunchao envoy sat on the chair of the Shunchao case, with his legs on the Shunchao case, and looked very arrogant, as if he was regaining the long-lost feeling. Zhang Wuzhu, who was standing aside, stood aside and saluted, and smiled: "General, you are finally back!"
