"Why do you want to go with General Liu's army?
No, Nagaya, you are the king, you are the king of Jingjue Kingdom.
How can you abandon your subjects and go with an outsider?"
General Jingjue Zuo When I heard that Nagaya had proposed to go west with Liu Cheng, I was shocked and immediately tried to dissuade him.
Nagaya said: "Chang Lin, my husband, you must know that I am not going to enjoy the mountains and rivers.
This time General Liu represents the Emperor of Han Dynasty's western tour.
This is an extremely rare opportunity.
We must seize this opportunity to let this desert All the surrounding countries know that our Jingjue country has a close relationship with the Han country, so they dare not touch us casually."
Chang Lin also knew that what Nagaya said made sense, but he still felt uneasy, "I know you are planning for the future of Jingjue Country, but what will happen to Jingjue Country if you leave?
This trip will not take a day or two. ah" Nagaya smiled and said: "Aren't you still here?"
"I" Chang Lin shook his head hurriedly; "No, no, no, I can't, I'm just General Zuo" Nagaya took Chang Lin's hand and smiled: "I will immediately order you to handle state affairs with full authority after I leave.
I will take away the two hundred soldiers of the right general, and you will control the remaining three hundred soldiers." , I believe that the captain will not go against you.
When I walk around the desert and come back, all the countries around the desert will know that there is another country called Jingjue on the banks of the Niya River, which is close to the big man.
Allies, wait for my return."
"Does it have to be like this?"
Chang Lin was still reluctant to leave.
Nagaya sighed: "If General Liu does not lead the army this time, how long can we resist Shanshan's attack?"
Chang Lin opened his mouth, but he could no longer say any objection.
Liu Cheng's thigh must be hugged tightly.
This opportunity must not be missed and will never come back.
The next morning, at the camp outside Jingjue City, the army was well prepared.
The soldiers led their horses and lined up neatly.
Each team raised their flags.
The flags in front of the tents in the camp had also been lowered.
A strong man The strong soldier replaced it with a large bamboo pole held in both hands.
Liu Cheng held the handle of the knife in one hand and a helmet in the other and walked out of the tent.
Just as he was about to lead the red rabbit horse, Zhang Xiu rode over and reported: "My lord, the exquisite queen Nagaya is here.
She is outside the camp gate." ,seem" "Finish your words," Liu Cheng said, put on his helmet and got on the red rabbit horse.
"You'd better go and see for yourself" Liu Cheng looked at Zhang Xiu and galloped towards the camp gate.
Zhang Xiu immediately followed up with his horse.
When he came outside the camp gate, Liu Cheng saw Nagaya.
She was wearing an exquisite women's armor, a leather helmet on her head, and a scimitar with a scabbard inlaid with gems hanging on her waist.
Liu Cheng looked at Nagaya and said in surprise: "Your Majesty the Queen, what are you doing?"
After listening to the translation, Nagaya smiled and said: "General, I have decided to take two hundred soldiers with you personally.
Apart from Jingjue Country, I have never been to any other place."
Liu Cheng couldn't help feeling speechless.
He held his forehead and said, "Your Majesty, this joke is not funny at all."
"Do you think I'm kidding?
I've never made a decision so seriously."
Liu Cheng looked at the two hundred camel cavalry behind Nagaya, among whom there were twenty or thirty female soldiers, and realized that she was not joking.
She even brought the female soldiers with her, obviously intending to let them serve and serve on the road.
Keep her safe.
"Then you leave, what will happen to Jingjue Country?"
"My husband is left to handle government affairs for me.
He also has three hundred soldiers.

As long as there are no enemies around to attack, no one in Jingjue Kingdom can oppose him."
Liu Cheng sighed: "Well, it seems that you are determined to leave with us, but I, the general, need to remind Her Majesty that the journey may not be safe and Her Majesty may be in danger."
Nagaya smiled and said: "Isn't there you, General?
I believe that the General will not let me be harmed, right?"
Liu Cheng had no choice but to say: "Of course, but I also ask the Queen to obey orders along the way.
If anything happens on the way, you must report it to me and do not act without authorization.
An army must have unified orders.
If Her Majesty the Queen does her own thing, this general will not Someone who knows how to march” Nagaya said seriously: "From now on, Nagaya will be your soldier."
Having said this, there was nothing Liu Cheng could say but waved his hand: "Let your people wait outside the camp.
You follow me and at least bring a guide.
We are about to set off for the country of Mumi."
"Follow the order."
Nagaya agreed and told the right general who was accompanying the team: "Right general, you and your troops will wait outside the camp.
The female guards will follow me."
Liu Cheng rode into the camp, and Nagaya followed with the female guards.
Liu Cheng rode on horseback and asked: "Which way to go to the country of Mimi?"
Najia said: "Of course we should leave the city through the west gate and then march to the southwest."
"Okay, let the guide follow us later to show the way.
I don't want to lead tens of thousands of people into the desert and be unable to get out, starve to death of thirst, and then turn into mummies."
Nagaya smiled and said: "Don't worry, general, with our elite people as guides, you will never get lost in this area."
At this time, the two of them had arrived in front of the army with their entourage and escorts.
Liu Chenghe asked: "Are the food, grass and drinking water ready?"
Liu Ye stepped forward and apologized: "Back to the general, food, grass, horse feed, drinking water and other supplies have been prepared, enough for five days."
"Remember whether the drum car and compass car are calibrated?"
"Back to your Majesty, the calibration has been completed."
Liu Cheng immediately said: "Okay, Ma Chao will lead the way with a thousand forwards, and the Jing Jueguo guide will follow.
Zhang Xiu, Xu Huang and Pang De will lead the army out of the camp at once.
The logistics and accompanying officers and officials will follow, and finally the Shanshan army will follow." ,Set off" The army quickly drove out of the camp in an orderly manner.
After all the soldiers and horses left the camp, the two hundred people from Jingjue Kingdom followed from behind.
After the army walked out of the large swamp surrounding the Niya Oasis where Jingjue City is located, everyone felt that the smell was rising due to the hot desert wind blowing from the northwest.
Queen Nagaya of Jingjue asked some camels from the Kingdom of Jingjue to be brought from behind.
She explained to Liu Cheng: "These camels are old camels that often travel between the Kingdom of Mimi and the Kingdom of Khotan.
They have experience in desert marching."
If there is a sandstorm and hot wind blowing, they can feel it as soon as possible and can promptly remind people to avoid and deploy defensive measures."
Liu Cheng nodded to express his understanding.
On the second day of the march, the army really encountered the hot desert wind, and a large amount of sand came from the northwest.
After receiving the camel warning, the Western Patrol Army immediately deployed preventive measures and stayed in place for half a day before continuing on its journey.
On the morning of the fourth day, the Western Patrol Army finally arrived at the Kingdom of Mimi.
King Dingxing, who was in his forties, learned that Liu Cheng was an imperial envoy.
He immediately rushed to kneel on the ground and hugged Liu Cheng's thigh and cried loudly; "General, can you do this?"
It’s finally here.
I have been looking forward to the stars and the moon and finally the Central Plains army has arrived.
General, I must save me and save the people of the country.
If you don’t make the decision for the country, the country will be finished.”
Liu Cheng watched Dingxing rub his thighs with snot and tears.

He was speechless for a moment and couldn't help shouting: "Brother, you are the king, can you save some face?"
Seeing Dingxing's appearance, the Jingjue Queen Nagaya next to her couldn't help but cursed in her heart: "Shameless, really shameless, you can do such shameless behavior, you are also the master of a country, and you are also a great leader.
Man" "General, please save me, save the people of the country.
If you don't agree, I won't get up.
I really can't get up."
Dingxing continued to wipe his tears.
Now even the ministers of the Mumi Kingdom couldn't stand it any longer, and turned their heads away one after another.
Liu Cheng couldn't help but say: "Okay, okay, I promise you that I will make the decision for you.
You get up first."
"Great, thank you General, thank you General" Dingxing got up from the ground, his face immediately became extremely serious and said: "Twenty years ago, King Anguo of Khotan sent troops to attack our country and killed countless people.
At that time, there were only a thousand people left in the country, and the land was also destroyed by Yu.
The Kingdom of Khotan occupied most of it.
If it were not for Wuji Xiaowei and Xi The governor of the region, Shi Shifu, sent troops to stop it in time.
I am afraid that our country has been destroyed.
As long as the general upholds justice for our country, I will resolutely swear that all the subjects of the country will be loyal to the Han from generation to generation.
If you don’t break your promise, if you violate your oath, my whole country will die.”
Along the way, Liu Cheng also knew some of the grievances between the Khotan Kingdom and the Khotan Kingdom.
Before the expansion of the Khotan Kingdom, its national strength was not as good as that of the Khotan Kingdom.
At that time, the Khotan Kingdom was on the South Silk Road.
It has the largest population, with more than 36,000 people.
After gradually encroaching on surrounding tribes and small countries, Khotan's national power increased sharply, and its population increased to 80,000 or 90,000.
From a population of 30,000 to 40,000 people, only a thousand or so people were left.
What a hatred.
At that time, most of the people who remained were women and children, with only a few men.
In the past twenty years, in order to increase the population of Dingxing, business travelers who passed by here were allowed to spend the night with the women here.
Dingxing even asked the soldiers of Wuji Xiaowei to borrow seeds so that the women of Mumi State could She was able to conceive children, so many soldiers under Wuji Colonel's command started families in the Mumi Kingdom.
At this time, Liu Cheng looked at some of the soldiers behind Dingxing, and sure enough he found that the appearance and features of these soldiers were not much different from those in the Central Plains.
Liu Cheng asked: "How many people are there in the country now?"
Dingxing replied: "There are more than 3,200 people."
In twenty years, the population increased from more than 1,000 to more than 3,000 people, most of whom were born from borrowed seeds.
Liu Cheng felt that Dingxing was still very strong.
At that time, he took over such a mess.
Twenty years later, Not only did it not collapse during the period, it actually managed to hold on and tripled its national power.
Liu Cheng couldn't help but gossip and asked: "How many children have you given birth to in the past twenty years?"
Dingxing held out four fingers: "Forty-three" ", your Alexandre Dumas":
