In the past few days, Xu Mu stayed in the oasis in the wild, discussing the next steps with many wandering tribesmen.
Not only that, he also asked Naguli to send a lot of food and water bags from Zhenlan City, which temporarily alleviated the migration crisis of the Liu tribe.
Xu Mu understands the truth very well. Helping these Liu clan people is equivalent to providing help in times of need. And from another level, the Liu tribe is a common class in the Western Regions, similar to the people in the Central Plains, and is more in line with the interests of Western Shu.
Dilibai was moved beyond measure.
"I swear in the name of the true god to serve my people from Changpeng, and I am willing to follow Western Shu! Open up the Silk Road!"
"The Liwu people are also willing to follow the King of Shu!"
For a time, the Yedi Oasis was filled with the voices of the Liu tribe.
But at this moment, several Shu scouts rushed over. After saying this in Yanyong's ear, Yanyong's face suddenly became solemn.
"Lord, please come here."
Xu Mu was stunned, and walked to the corner with Yan Yong.
"What?"
"Something happened... The three kings of the western kingdoms have all died in the Xiwang Palace. The intelligence received by the scouts is that someone pretended to be a Shu soldier and launched an assassination."
"how many people?"
"I only heard it was hundreds."
"This is impossible." Xu Mu said with a stern face, "How can hundreds of people enter the King's Palace?"
Before he finished speaking, Xu Mu's expression changed in shock. Under normal circumstances, it may be impossible, but if you are familiar with several kings, it is actually not too difficult.
Son of God.
Assassinations and frame-ups have already happened in Dayuan Kingdom. Fortunately, Lou Zhu discovered the problem and was not fooled.
"This son of God really risked his life."
No one is stupid. After the problem was discovered, Shenzi's deception career was basically over.
"What's going on now?"
"The successor princes from those countries have begun to gather troops, threatening to drive Xishu back to the Central Plains. Over in Huangcheng, Zhao Dun also sent people over, saying that he had returned to Dawan City and was preparing for war with Lou Zhu .”
Xu Mu frowned.
The strength of Zhenlan City, including the five thousand people he brought back, was less than ten thousand. According to his estimation, the small countries that joined the coalition could only gather another four to five thousand people, which would be their limit.
Of course, there is also Chao Yi's headquarters outside, plus the Liu clan members.
"Lord, the strength of these people cannot be underestimated."
"I see."
We have investigated before and found that even excluding Dawan, the remaining countries to the west still have nearly 100,000 troops combined. In other words, if several old Wangs had not died tragically, judging from the past situation, they would not have gathered the army so hastily.
"Yanyong, what do you think?"
Yan Yong thought for a while, "It's nothing more than the Lord's choice. The first is to delay time and find out the truth. The second is to fight with him. If he wins this battle, there will be no resistance in the entire Western Region."
If we really win, as Yan Yong said, things in the Western Region will basically be stable.
Of course, according to Yanyong, delaying time to find out the truth is also a way.
But it does more harm than good. Moreover, the Son of God will not give him any chance to delay, and will definitely use all means to sow discord.
Raising his head, Xu Mu glanced at the oasis in front of him, and an idea slowly came to his mind.
…
Outside Xiguo, there is endless yellow sand as far as the eye can see. Hu troops were everywhere, and they were constantly incorporated into the Chang army.
In this attack on Shu, the corpses of the three killed Lao Wang were still lying in golden coffins, accompanying the army on the expedition to boost the morale of the revenge army.
Miran, wearing golden armor, stood in the central army tent on the sand, his face full of anger.
"Everyone, I have invited the Son of God!"
As soon as Milang finished speaking, the other three princes in the military tent frowned and raised their heads. As long as you are not a fool, you can see the clues about what happened in Dawan Kingdom.
Lou Luo was originally encouraged to raid King Xu of Western Shu. When he was besieged by the counter-suppression campaign, the son of God never showed up.
Putting on his black robe again, Upa stepped into the military tent and knelt before the three golden coffins. Before he spoke, he cried for a while.
The three princes looked silent. What happened in King Xi's palace was too appalling. Although they were all a little confused, whether it was Mi Lang, the king of the Yu Kingdom, or the guards of the Xi Kingdom, they all saw that this matter was done by the Shu people.
Coupled with xenophobic sentiments, many things have been happening since the Shu people entered the Western Regions. Although there was some shock, if he did not go out to take revenge, even if he became king in the future, the people and soldiers of the country would not be convinced.
Wiping away his tears, Upa sat on the golden chair and spoke in a sad voice.
"To tell you the truth, I did not expect that Shu people would be so evil. When it came to the Dawan incident, I went to the camp of Shu thieves and persuaded the thieves king Xu Mu to be kind. But Xu thieves did not listen. If If it weren’t for the several disciples who fought tooth and nail to protect each other, I wouldn’t have been able to come back.”
"During this period, I have been avoiding Thief Xu's pursuit."
Upa sighed, and his voice became sad again, "But I didn't expect that Thief Xu would be so cruel and killed the three kings. Thief Xu is extremely cunning. In this way, he thought that we would be leaderless and then catch them all..."
Upa stopped talking.
But the three princes all understood the meaning of the words. For a time, they all pointed their shared hatred at the Shu people again.
Mi Lang was nearby, squinting his eyes from time to time. If this is successful, not only will the Shu people be defeated, but the military strength of the other three countries will also be weakened. Then, the State of Yu will become completely powerful in the future.
Three little lambs will only be led around by the nose.
"Defeat the Shu thieves and take revenge!" Mi Lang moistened his throat and shouted with tears.
The two of them sang in harmony, and soon the three little kings in the military tent were also confused, with murderous looks on their faces.
"In the hands of the Shu thieves, even if the Dawan people are included, they have less than 40,000 troops. This time, as the Son of God, I will never stand by and watch. I am willing to work with a few of them to drive the Shu people out of the Western Regions!"
"The true God Heavenly Father has entrusted me with a dream. The Shu people will definitely lose in this battle!"
Seeing the three little kings, I was still a little worried. Upa stood up again, walked back to the three golden coffins, suddenly knelt down, and burst into tears again.
"Father in heaven, after we take revenge, we will send the three old kings back to the temple in the sky together."
This sentence made the three noble princes look sad and angry for a moment. They also knelt down one after another and petitioned the true God.
Outside the military tent, more and more barbarian troops arrived, raising blood flags and killing animals to worship the sky. Under the fierce horse hooves, there were screaming figures everywhere.
