Sima Mingzhu and Shan Juezhen chatted with a few irrelevant words. Shan Juezhen said: National Master, you said that the Han people are going to massacre the people of our country. What evidence do you have?

Master Sheyiyi said: Of course there is evidence. The farmland seedlings around the Pima Temple all appeared red, which is a foreshadowing of the evidence of blood flowing into a river. The generals guarding the city also changed into red robes. This is evidence.

Shan Juezhen said: What is that evidence? The people of Tocharism all like red. Their national teacher came to help rebel and would definitely bring about the characteristics of their country. This is not enough. As for the farmland around Via Monastery, maybe you killed each other and turned the seedlings into the farmland. How can we say that the Han people were going to massacre the people? I think it is not the Han people who wanted to kill the people, but you and the rebels slaughtered the people first?

She Yiyi said: Please don’t say that. There was no battle near Via Monastery. How could the blood flow into the farmland?

Shan Juezhen said: Is it a rumor created by someone who deliberately dyes it?

She Yiyi said: That is impossible. Because thousands of acres of land turn red overnight. If the army is sent to dye it, there will always be traces of footprints left in the fields. What should I do with such a huge project to make people know nothing? It is impossible to dye it at all, which is the foreshadowing of the Buddha.

Shan Juezhen said: Our country is blocked by several countries three thousand miles away from Yumen Pass of the Great Sui Dynasty, and the Han army cannot reach it. This should be a reality, right? You have traveled through many countries along the way, and you still don’t know this. In my opinion, that phenomenon indicates something else, and it is definitely not a sign of the Han people massacre the people.

She Yiyi said: Aren’t you asking your junior brother to help? In this way, the Han people will pass.

Shan Juezhen said: Even if my junior brother is a Han, what's the use of killing the people? Besides, my junior brother's army is from Wusu. He is definitely not from Han!

She Yiyi said: You will know when this is not useful. The reason why I came to the Sui Dynasty was to come to find Han people. There are also Han people in our country. There are thousands of Han people in the stone mine he opened in Guqu. They all brought them there. If you don’t believe it, ask him. Moreover, all the Han people he brought with him are strong and capable of martial arts. Compared with his miners, our army may not be the opponent.

Guqu said: That's right! My miners have been strictly selected and all of them know martial arts. They just don't want them to be bullied when they go to foreign countries. If they really fight, your 30,000 troops will be defeated by my workers in an instant.

Shan Juezhen said: How many people do you have in Guqu?

Guqu said: There are not many people, a total of five thousand people. But one is worth ten. But don’t worry, I won’t let them kill and set fire. We are businessmen and have to go through many countries to transport jade back. How can no one do it? Along the way, horse thieves and robbers are rampant and can’t do martial arts? Now, my son is your brother-in-law. You can mobilize these five thousand people at any time. It’s no problem to have food in my stone mine for a year.

Shan Juezhen looked at Gu Long and said: Husband, you have a lot of capital. Just take these 5,000 troops on the battlefield to help my brother conquer the world! It's much better than I thought.

Gu Long said: How can they go to war with a shoulder pole and hammer without training? Don’t be too optimistic. You have to rely on your brother’s junior brother to transport the equipment in. If you don’t have equipment, it’s a sheep. Although you can do martial arts and no weapons, you can’t overcome difficulties. The most important horse! It’s not possible without war horses. There are only 300 horses in our place. It’s not for war horses. It’s not for carts. Don’t listen to my father’s big talk to fight with real troops. It’s not that simple to fight. You must give workers a reason. People work hard, not for life. War will kill people. The prospects are not optimistic!

Wen Deguang said: You are right! But it is much better than not. If you want to use these workers to fight, you must be trained to do so. Otherwise, it will be a mess of sand and collapse at one touch.

Kong Jiajiao said: When will you transfer the general, the military supplies?

Wen Deguang glanced at Sima Mingzhu. Sima Mingzhu nodded and said that she could just say it casually. Don’t ask me. I don’t know.

Wen Deguang said: I don’t have to worry about this problem, but you must be anxious to get the country to prepare the materials and gather at Yumen Pass before we can transport them over. However, we do not have the ability to send weapons and equipment to ore mining places. The army of Khotan will not allow us to do this. So we can only be responsible for transporting them to the junction of Gaochang and Tiele. The next thing we have to do is to depend on your own. We cannot provide war horses and we lack war horses! But when the war horses are ready, we have to eat grass and feed, so the consumption is very large. We must have strong financial resources as a backing. Otherwise, it would be better not to prepare for the time being. Prince, tell me what you think! Or wait until you arrive in Suzhou and you will have an interview with my elder brother-in-law?

Shan Juezhen said: According to the principle, it is not too late to rescue soldiers as if they are putting out fires. Of course, the faster the better.

Wen Deguang said: I can make the decision on this strategic material. In this way, you urge your princess to transport the material to Yumen Pass. I will send a letter to Tianshui directly and send people to do everything possible to prepare the vehicles transported there. When we return from Suzhou, we will take the seal and call back to the Western Regions. It will be in place at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month. If we want to transport it to Yutian, we will probably get the end of the year.

Shan Juezhen said: General, why don’t you send someone to Yumen Pass to transport supplies now?

Wen Deguang said: It was a sudden moment! I had no seal around me and would not allow it to pass. I had to rely on the secrets of Gaochang. I only had my elder brother-in-law summoned him to meet the prince of Gaochang and let him go. Even if I sent someone to Gaochang now, I couldn't get through. That was not ordinary items or money or grain, and so on. You should always understand this principle, right? If you don't pass on the Gaochang country, the security cannot be guaranteed. The thieves and robbers on the Tieltuyuhun Xueyantuoma on the way like this thing, and it will be a big trouble.

She Yiyi said: You are going to Suzhou to discuss cooperation, so what about me? Do these equipment have my share?

Wen Deguang said: Don’t ask me if we are running errands. Just ask your prince if he gives it to you.

She Yiyi said: If the prince is willing to allocate supplies to me, I can return to China immediately and escort a batch of supplies to myself first. I can't go to Gaochang Country and I have my own route.

Shan Juezhen said: There are supplies, but I have no right to transfer them. My junior brother must go in person. Since Master Sheyiyi said that after the supplies are in my hands, I will definitely allocate them to you. But I have nothing in my hands now! You can go back in advance and I will not let you go back empty-handed. Take one thousand taels of gold and pay the soldiers first. Relieve the urgent need. You can't take charge of your army. By the way, to be honest, where are my wives?

She Yiyi said: Unfortunately, your wife is not found. The whereabouts of your wife are unknown. Only one wife is left with me to Huoling to fight against the enemy on the front line. I hope you will return soon. Now my army is under her command.

Shan Juezhen said: Brother, my husband and I went with Master Sheyiyi to bring my betrothal gift and go to the front line to participate in the battle? If you talk about cooperation with your junior brother, I won’t go to Suzhou anymore.

Shan Juezhen said: Sister, do you mean that you are going to the ore farm or going to the front line west of Kuoling to fight?

Shan Juezhen said: Of course we went to the quarry. We didn’t know the troops west of Kuiling and could not cooperate in command. Do you still need to ask? We are going to train troops first and wait until your supplies arrive, and then we can directly put them into the battle. We don’t take the money from the Yin-Yang and Five Elements Sect! Just take my betrothal gift.

Shan Juezhen said: This is not possible for sister! You must hand over the betrothal gift to Master Sheyiyi to take it away as military salary. Because I don’t have more money to use. Do you know? Just do it as helping my brother once. When I come to Huayin County from the Suzhou Negotiation Conference, I will make up for the money from the Yin and Yang Five Elements Sects. You can lend it to me for a while!

Gu Long said: Brother, this is fine. Don’t be polite. Don’t lend it to me~~ I’m ready to follow my wife to fight against the enemy for you. Besides, these money is nothing. Then let’s not go to Yutian Kingdom and go to Suzhou with you. I also want to see who your junior brother is. Master Sheyiyi, you see that there is no box next to the table and there is a thousand taels of gold. Take it away! Use it as military expenses to fight in Huoling. Leave it less nonsense and you need to be happy. Go wherever you should go.

She Yiyi said: Well, I'm really not polite. I'm too short of money. But Prince, please notify me after you return to China! It would be better that you can go to the west of Huoling in person to the army to boost your morale. Please!

Shan Juezhen said: Okay, don’t worry, I will definitely go! That’s it. You take the money first and hurry back to China. I will try my best to go back early. Once I return to China, I will first go to you. You should go as fast as possible. As soon as you go, the better it is very dangerous for a woman to lead a soldier. Since Sima Mingzhu has been decided, let’s go too? Brother-in-law is wronged that you have to run away from home as soon as you get married. I’m so embarrassed to speak!

Guqu said: There is nothing to be embarrassed about. Let’s go, let’s do the aftermath here. Let’s go! What a beautiful scenery in Yangzhou. You are not in the mood to appreciate it!

It’s not easy for you to give up your old friend. When I am leaving, I will give you a thousand taels of gold and it’s our friendship. Do you think I’m so good?

She Yiyi bent down and said: Thank you old friend, once we win, I don’t want your tax money! I hope you have time to go to Yutian and have a good drink! Take the money! I really have no way to borrow money.

Sima Mingzhu said: That's good! You can go as soon as you want! Cross the Yangtze River from Zhenjiang, right?

Guqu said: It’s very correct. If you leave the ferry now, you will be smooth all the way. You can reach Taihu Lake by running hard before dark. There is more water there than here. I wish you all the way. After leaving, I will go and get you money. The money I sold this yard is right next to me. I really have money on hand!

Shan Juezhen said: Father-in-law! Then let’s leave. Don’t you give us anything?

Guqu said: Yes! If you sell the house for 5,000 taels, you will take 2,000 taels of gold, do you take it away? If there are 2,000 taels left, you will give it to your elder brother and sister-in-law. If that general is given to your elder nephew! Do you couple agree?

Gu Long said: Dad! Look at what you said, you are the head of your family. Whatever you say is what you can give us is fine.

Guqu said: Second boy! It’s not easy for workers in the quarry in Khotan! You have to be cautious! Everyone wants to come back alive!

Gu Long said: Don’t worry! Once the war is over, I will not treat them badly. Then I will take away the two thousand taels of gold. Madam, my husband and I will take the one thousand taels of gold each! Let’s go!
Chapter completed!
