Chapter 813 Beauty's plan is difficult to do [Heavy... ?
The tent was set up under a large sand dune. This mobile city was originally stationed on an endless stretch of cliffs. There were undulating sand dunes everywhere, with clumps of desert plants growing in the middle. So when the hustle and bustle of the day was over,
, when the "city" fell into silence, it was still very quiet.
In addition to the fortified military camps that rolled up and down like mountains as far as the eye could see, the tents where businessmen were stationed were far away from each other.
Tang Saier knelt down in front of Xia Xun, and beat his legs with her small fists in a serious manner. Originally, this was a matter between Xilin and Jeanne. The two of them were originally serving Xia Xun. After becoming his women, they served him even more.
It was a matter of duty, but the little girl felt that as her goddaughter, she should show her filial piety, so she happily snatched the job.
Xia Xun leaned on a box containing props and gestured with his hands on the worn-out felt rug. The rug was very old and badly worn in some places. Because people walked in and out too frequently, there was a thin layer on the rug.
Xia Xun's fingers traced the thin sand on the felt carpet, leaving traces.
"Yu Jue has been following Guo Yixuan for several days. From what we know now, Guo Yixuan is just a scholar under Timur's account. Although he has a higher status and is respected by others, he is not a military general. He is very
It is rare to have the opportunity to meet Timur directly.
Moreover, our best choice is to kill without leaving any trace, so Yujue's line is temporarily unavailable, but I have told him to stay with Guo Yixuan and collect information at any time in case of emergencies.
need."
Chen Dong coughed and interjected: "In the past few days, there have been several female soldiers who come to watch our performances every day. One of them seems to be particularly interested in Lao Sai, and even chatted with Lao Sai. These women
The soldiers are all under the pro-army banner, can we use a handsome man trick..."
"Ah? No way! Chen Dong, don't talk nonsense!" Before he could finish speaking, Sai Hazhi jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, his old face turned red with embarrassment and turned pale with anxiety.
Justified.
Ye An rolled his eyes and said: "It's not a bad thing if a woman likes you. You have such a big face, Lao Sai. Why are you so embarrassed? One time when they were leaving, Zangfeng heard their conversation and there was a female soldier.
Make fun of the girl you're talking to and say: 'Since you like her, just confess to her. I think he likes you too!' Look, doesn't this mean he likes you?"
Sehazhi's dark face turned into an eggplant color, his face turned red, his neck was thick and he said, "No! When did I fall in love with her? I haven't even seen what she looks like!"
Chen Dong laughed and said, "Look, look, we didn't say her name, so you already know which one we're talking about. This is just asking for it!"
Ye An smiled and said: "Among us, who is not more handsome than you? That beard looks like a hedgehog, but that woman likes you, it's really inexplicable."
Sehazhi raised his beard and said triumphantly: "Only a man like me who is big and round can be manly. You don't understand!"
In Tang Saier's heart, her godfather was the most perfect man, and she immediately said unconvinced: "My godfather is the most manly!"
Xia Xun coughed and said with a straight face: "We are discussing important matters, and there must be a limit to joking. What kind of beauty trap? It's all whimsical!"
Everyone quickly suppressed their smiles, and only Weiwei said yes.
Everyone's faces suddenly showed strange expressions. Xia Xun just ignored them and continued: "They come from a Turkic tribe called Deke. Their tribe is about fifteen days' horse ride away from Samarkand. In the past, they
They were surrendered to the Roman Empire, and now they are surrendered to Timur. Their tribe believes in Nestorianism, but at the same time they maintain some of their own tribal habits..."
In fact, according to the information Zangfeng heard, the Dyke tribe believed in the Orthodox Church. However, if Xia Xun said that they believed in the Orthodox Church, no one present would understand what kind of sect it was. During the Tang Dynasty, when the Christian sect entered the Central Plains, they were called Jing
Xia Xun referred to Orthodox Christianity as Nestorian Christianity to facilitate everyone’s understanding——
Xia Xun said: "In their tribe, the status of women is much higher than that of men. To be precise, they are men who lead the inside and women who lead the outside. Therefore, there are many women in the tribe who are brave and good at fighting, and are not inferior to men in close combat.
Warriors, this is why when Timur recruited troops from various tribes, all the soldiers sent by the Dyke tribe were female soldiers.
For these reasons, it is difficult for a woman in this tribe to obey a man just because she likes him. In fact... it is quite the opposite. Therefore, if Lao Sai really used a beauty trick to seduce the woman, she would also
I only know how to make a bet, marry Lao Sai, take care of the housework and take care of the children, how can I be owned by him and listen to his orders?"
Everyone looked at Seha Zhihu's hunched back and imagined that he was carrying a little baby on his back, sitting on the threshold holding the soles of his shoes stitch by stitch, waiting for his wife, who had returned from herding, to cuddle up to her as soon as she entered the house.
His appearance made Sehazhi shiver smartly, and even the hairs on his hair stood on end, with a look on his face that he would rather die than surrender.
Everyone was discussing matters in the tent. Zangfeng and Gaibang'er, two assistants sent by Harry Sultan to Xia Xun, were patrolling around the tent one after another. They were doing something casually and were wary of the approach of outsiders.
In the tent, the discussion continued. One plan after another was proposed, and one after another was rejected. In the end, no one could come up with a plan that even seemed feasible, and everyone's interest dropped.
After a lot of hard work, we finally arrived at Timur's side, but now there was only a few miles away, but it became a trench that was difficult to cross.
It's impossible to kill him or see him, which is really frustrating.
Seeing that everyone was in a low mood, Xia Xun said: "Don't be depressed, you can always come up with a solution, just be patient."
Chen Dongdao: "If we have enough time, we may be able to come up with a proper solution. The problem is, what we are short of now is time."
Xia Xun couldn't help but sigh softly after hearing this. He lowered his eyes and saw that Tang Sai'er had stopped fisting, slightly frowning her delicate eyebrows, and was trying hard to think of a way, like a little adult.
It made people laugh, and they couldn't help but laugh: "Does my little fairy daughter have any magic that can allow us to pass through that person's heavy defenses and appear in front of him?"
Xia Xun was just joking to lighten the dull atmosphere. Unexpectedly, Tang Saier asked seriously: "Godfather, is it really so long to enter that person's military camp and then to where he lives?
"
Xia Xun said: "Yes, I'm afraid it's more than a few miles. There are countless camps and soldiers and horses along the way. Even at night, there are an endless stream of police posts on patrol. There are bright and dark sentries interspersed in between, and there are trenches and thorns. They
There are also many desert dogs in the camp, and this is just the news that your Uncle Liu has inquired about. As for more deployments, we don’t know. Such deployments are particularly strict compared to the palace. Even a mouse
, I can’t even hope to successfully pass through these layers of barriers.”
Tang Sai'er said unconvinced: "That's not necessarily true. If I have enough tools and manpower, I can completely wipe out such a big tent, let alone hide a few people."
Xia Xun's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked: "So, if we provide you with enough manpower to make everything you need, is there any way you can let us in?"
Tang Saier hesitated: "This..., but..."
"Um?"
"But... you have to ask me to walk through it inside and out, and see clearly all the parts inside, so that I know what I need to use."
When Xia Xun heard this, he couldn't help but become frustrated.

In the bathroom, Guo Yixuan spread out his limbs and lay comfortably on the "belly stone". An authentic Turkish "tanrak" (masseur) coated his hands with olive oil and pushed, took, kneaded and pressed Guo Yixuan's body just now.
The skin that had been steamed by high temperature was massaged like this, and the whole body turned red like cooked shrimps.
Liu Yujue was sitting on a wooden stool nearby. On another low stool in front of him was an open food box, which contained mutton skewers, yogurt, milk, hazelnuts and other snacks.
Liu Yujue is now Guo Yixuan's student. Guo Yixuan sometimes asks him to help him at work every day. During his breaks, he teaches him various aspects of knowledge such as Turkic language, mathematics, and engineering. Perhaps because of his compatriots, Guo Yixuan is very fond of
This student valued and cared for him very much, even taking him to bathe with him.
Liu Yujue sat on a wooden bench with a white towel around her waist, sipped a sip of yogurt, and said to Guo Yixuan: "But... teacher, the Jiayuguan Pass is unreachable and indestructible. I came from there and have seen it before.
It's so steep that even ten times as many troops wouldn't be able to attack it."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Guo Yixuan was lying on the "belly stone", enjoying the service of the masseur with his eyes closed. When he heard the student's innocent words, he laughed happily. He did not open his eyes, but just waved his hand and said with a smile:
"Traditional city architecture likes to build tall walls, but in the face of increasingly powerful siege weapons, those giant-looking walls are the easiest to break through.
What is a sword for a man? What is a thousand horses and an army? The truly powerful weapon is knowledge! Several scholars and I have jointly written a letter to the Khan, suggesting that the city wall of Samar should be renovated and the old-fashioned tall barrier walls and arrow towers should be replaced.
It was dismantled and renovated.
Guo Yixuan said with a smile: The purpose of building city walls is not to block enemies, but strong passes have always been the proposition of thousands of years, especially our eastern city defenses, which have not changed for more than a thousand years.
If there are changes, the latecomers just keep repairing and building it higher. And then keep building it higher. How sad!
Yuluo, study hard with your teacher. When you have certain attainments in military architecture, you will find that traditional city defense buildings are far behind the times. The so-called indestructibility is just a
