C3408 Three Tasks (1/2)
”The first thing I'll do is present you with a gift. Marshal, you don't have to decline. This million is a free gift. There's no need for any interest, but I need your help for a small favor …”
”I have made myself clear. I think you should be clear about the Head of the Guards' hard work... Even if there was a hook in the money, it would probably take a very long time before he could use it! ”
”To manage the Western Regions for the sake of our Huaxia, it is only right for the Chief to spend some money. First, we must form a good relationship with him!”
”The second thing! Our caravan will continue to move westward in a few days. You have to provide protection … left pumilus, you and Fan Jin can come in! ”
”Commander Liu Jintang, come in as well!”
The three of them were roasting a fire tray in the courtyard, chatting while waiting for a summon. After hearing Shang Tai's order, they quickly ran into the house.
”Mr. Zuo, tell the marshal the second thing!”
”Yes, Marshal!” The left side bowed towards the marshal and said, ”We are heading west. After we cross the Lanzhou Region, we will no longer be caravans. We will be the Expedition s!”
”Expedition? If you have nothing to eat, then go to the west and wander around in the military? ”What danger are you looking for? Are you trying to find danger and not caring for your own life?”
”Marshal, you're wrong. It's exactly because of the danger that we have to go. This is the order of the leader; we dare not disobey him!”
The left hand holding the silk silk came out. ”Marshal, please take a look. This is the map of the Western Regions. This is the Southern Wilderness and the Northern Wilderness …” ”Along the Tianshan Mountains and Mount Kunlun, there are two ancient paths that lead all the way to the west …”
”This was an important exchange between the Central Plains and Europa during the Han and Tang Dynasties. The leader's name was Silk Ancient Road!”
”Along these two ancient paths, there are temples and ruins that are thousands of years old, as well as ruins of the ancient city of the Western Regions … There are many historical relics in there! ”
”God knows how many have been destroyed in this war. We're going there to rescue and protect them!”
”Of course we won't go too deep into the Southern Wilderness this time, but no matter what, we have to get to the front lines …” This is the place! ”
Pointing to the left, at the most far-reaching end of Gansu on the map, Guizhou then towards the west, the finger stopped right there.
”Our ultimate goal is to get to Sanzhou, where are the large number of Buddhist temples and caves... ”Where should we protect the cultural relics and literature from, dig them out and bring them to a safe place!”
”Actually, a part of this one million Li is due to the trouble of protecting the army!”
Liu Jintang stared at the map and studied it closely, ”Dangerous, too dangerous! The rebels here have just been routed, and the local public order is a complete mess! ”
”The bandits and the defeated army are colluding together in the desert, and they have secretly accepted Yaqub's support to attack our army endlessly …”
”We only have one General Xu Zhanbiao in Su Zhou, he only has ten thousand men, I am afraid we cannot split their forces to protect you!”
”Do you know how large of an area Xu Zhanbiao has to control? Su Moyu, Guizhou, Horseshoe … ”This desert belongs to him …”
The left cupped his fist and said, ”It's exactly because it's so difficult that I have to beg the marshal!” ”The marshal is also a scholar, and is well aware of the importance of war and war. The pars dorsalis traitors especially hate other religions …”
”Upon seeing the ancient Buddhist temple ruins, we will definitely destroy them! If we don't save them now, who will? ”
”Our intelligence shows that a large number of thousand-year-old ancient books are in danger!”
Zuo Zongtang frowned as he raised his hand to stop Liu Jintang from rebutting, ”Continue talking! ”I know two things. I want to hear the third …”
