In the sun, a young man raised his face, his brown eyes shining with a strange luster from time to time.
"Teacher, Thief Xu has entered the Western Region." Upa lowered his head, his tone full of gravity.
Beside Upa, a middle-aged scribe was riding on a horse, also closing his eyes and meditating.
"Next, if my guess is correct, Xu Thief will definitely attack the Dawan Kingdom and establish a prestige. Damn it, Lou Luo is a loser. If he fails to make a surprise attack, he will already have a clue. By then, even if Xu Thief attacks Dawan, In the eyes of people from other countries in the Western Regions, the Wan Kingdom is just bringing its own fault."
Upa looked extremely angry and kicked over the water bag in front of him.
It's a pity that his teacher is mute and cannot discuss with him.
The middle-aged scribe dismounted, hesitantly drew out his sword, and wrote one word on the sand - lure.
"Teacher, are you still using a trap? But Thief Xu will not be easily fooled."
The middle-aged scribe thought for a while and then wrote two big characters with his sword.
frame.
Upa paused, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Teacher, don't worry, I will be careful this time and vow to force the Shu people into a corner!"
…
After a night's rest, a lot of the fatigue from my body and bones was finally relieved. Xu Mu sat on the main seat and looked down with interest.
Among them, there are not only Shu generals like Yin Hu, but also friendly people like Naguli, and even several kings from the Western Regions.
Yin Hu had spent a lot of effort to win over these kings.
"Several monarchs." Xu Mu smiled, "Although I have been in the Central Plains for a long time, I have heard the names of several of them in General Yin Hu's letters. I, Xu Mu, have been talking about them all the time, and I will go to the Western Regions to talk to them."
Several kings of the Western Regions looked happy. To be honest, the Xishu regime is much stronger than them.
But unfortunately, he still looks like he knows etiquette.
"I and the others have heard the name of the King of Shu for a long time!"
"Haha, that's good. We are all old friends. In the future, if we open trade routes, you will make a lot of money. To be honest, in Xishu alone, a pot of grape wine can be sold To three taels of silver. If it is a better product, I am afraid it will be sold for a sky-high price."
When several kings heard this, their expressions became even more excited. In the Western Region, their territory is not large, and they are often oppressed by other major powers in the Western Region, which leads to the decline of people's livelihood and the shortage of military strength.
When the Shu people entered the Western Regions, they had a chance to make a comeback.
After finishing his polite remarks, Xu Mu had no intention of continuing to dawdle, and his tone suddenly changed.
"A few of you have also heard that the Dawan Kingdom came to intercept and kill my king for no reason. They want to destroy the Silk Road and cut off the foundation of a strong country for people like us!"
In the audience, the kings of several small countries showed anger after listening to Xu Mu's words.
"It's a pity that some of our veteran generals from Western Shu and nearly half a million troops are not here." Xu Mu paused, "But the matter is urgent. The Dawan Kingdom may have to fight against the Silk Road." Let’s do it. I plan to build a coalition with you all to share adversity, advance and retreat together, and protect the Silk Road!”
If the total strength of Zhenlan City is now more than 20,000, in fact, it is not that many. Moreover, considering the future war with the north, Xu Mu did not want to mobilize troops.
"King of Shu, I, the Buck Kingdom, are willing to join the coalition. We can mobilize five thousand people, at the command of the King of Shu!"
"Bai Youguo can mobilize three thousand people to advance and retreat with the King of Shu!"
"Zheng Guo can send out four thousand infantry and two thousand cavalry!"
…
After all, what Xu Mu didn't expect was that even though they were just small countries, they could gather at least nearly 20,000 troops. Among the 20,000 people, there were more than 5,000 cavalry.
Including Zhenlan City's army, there are already more than 40,000 troops. If you count the cavalry alone, there are almost 10,000 people. Although it is only a light horse, it cannot be underestimated in the terrain of the desert.
"Okay! I, Xu Mu, make a blood alliance with you all!"
"Come here, get some wine!"
He cut his finger and dropped the blood into the wine bowl. After waiting for a while, Xu Mu raised his head and took a small sip without any pretense.
The remaining kings also drank the blood wine one by one.
"May I ask the leader, when will we attack Dawan? In the past, our Zheng Kingdom was often attacked by Dawan Kingdom because it was not far away."
"Don't rush, give this alliance leader some time, and once we have decided on a strategy, we will go out with you all to attack the Dawan Palace!"
…
In Dayuan Kingdom, Lou Luo was not at all happy after he ascended the throne. Instead, he hid in the palace and drank heavily day and night.
"Your Majesty... the Wuzi Kingdom is not willing to go against the Shu people, and has no intention of participating in the war."
"Damn it." Lou Luo said angrily, and angrily pushed the wine in front of him to the ground.
"These rubbish can't accomplish anything at all. I just ask you, where are the heavenly troops from the Son of God? Have they been invited?"
"Your Majesty, I haven't seen him. In addition...the fourth prince took away 5,000 people and left the Dawan Kingdom last night."
"What!" Lou Luo twitched, "What does Lou Zhu want to do? What does he want to do!"
In the entire Dawan Kingdom, there are only more than 20,000 troops left, and now another 5,000 have been taken away... I heard that Zhenlan City is already uniting. The Son of God has disappeared again, what will he do to stop him when the time comes?
In the past, he might have been tougher. But after the raid, he already had a kind of fear in his heart towards Thief Xu. I just feel like I can't win, I just feel like I'm powerless.
clang.
Lou Luo was completely devastated. He stepped back and knocked over another wine bottle. Suddenly, the tangy aroma of wine spread.
"Your Majesty...it's better to send envoys over and surrender to the Shu people."
Lou Luo closed his eyes in pain and kept beating his forehead.
"Wait a moment, even if there is no heavenly army, the Son of God... there must be a way. I'll tell you the truth, in this palace, I really saw the miracle of the Son of God."
"Besides, the entire Western Region now feels that it was the Shu people who killed my father... If I surrender right now, wouldn't I be completely embarrassed?"
"Your Majesty, I feel that the assassination is very strange——"
"Shut up." Lou Luo slumped on the throne, "Send the order and send more people. We must find the whereabouts of the Son of God within three days!"
…
"Fool."
At this time, Upa was in the most remote rock valley in Xiguo, with a cold smile on his face. After understanding his teacher's intention, he already had a solution in mind.
"Xu Thief, you want to establish a foothold in the Western Region. But I want to make you the enemy of the entire Western Region!"
…
