At the same time, in western Daxia.
In fact, at the beginning of Daxia, the conquest of the west was not carried out with great fanfare.
Because in itself, there used to be a natural barrier for the western side to block it, but for the western side, they were often harassed by the western vassals before.
During this process.
In fact, for those people in the west.
The land beyond their east side is actually a huge treasure.
In this land, there are countless grains and countless gold and silver treasures, and the people and soldiers here are very weak.
In fact, for Cisse at that time, most of them were cavalry.
In fact, it was precisely because of the cavalry that they were able to cross the vast desert and come to Daxia.
otherwise.
If you only walked on two legs, you wouldn't be able to get here.
therefore.
Those who came to them were all high-quality elite soldiers who had survived the survival of the fittest.
And also a cavalryman.
Faced with such a gap, Daxia's army and ordinary people were no match for them.
Not to mention.
During this process, they came suddenly, moved quickly, and their attack power was very powerful.
Therefore, even their officers and soldiers in Daxia often have no way to deal with these Xisai troops.
But during this process, Zhang Bao and the others thought of some other ways to face these soldiers and horses from the Western Regions.
In fact, there are only two such methods.
One is to strengthen the walls and clear the country. According to Zhang Bao's plan, they cleared a large area of land in the part of Xisai that borders Daxia.
Of course, during this process, when the land here was empty, those people from Xisai had nothing to do after they came to Daxia.
Because Zhang Bao once had people go deep into this vast desert to explore.
Regardless of the troops and horses of Xisai, no matter how well prepared they are, no matter how much food, grass and fresh water they prepare along the way.
Then after they arrive in Daxia, they also need to replenish these supplies on the spot immediately.
otherwise.
They were faced with only two choices.
Or food, grass and other supplies have been exhausted early.
It is difficult for them to move forward in Daxia.
Or they still have a little surplus food, but it is impossible for them to go back to Xisse with this kind of surplus food, which is equivalent to cutting off their way out.
Daxia's strong and clear border with Xisai also ensured that the current Xisai soldiers and horses had no way to do anything after arriving at Daxia.
Even for these soldiers and horses, the choice they faced was either to go deep into Daxia or to go back.
So these two roads, no matter which one they are, are dead ends for their troops in Cisse.
therefore.
When Cisse gradually sent a team of troops, they did not go back.
Another team was sent, but they still didn't go back.
Cisse finally noticed something was wrong.
But in this process. They had no choice when facing Daxia. After they finally gathered an army and collected food and grass, they found out after arriving in Daxia that Daxia had actually built a fortress on the Xisai side.
This kind of fortress is connected in series through city walls, and some passes are set up in some places where the roads are easy to travel. These passes are in dangerous terrain and are easy to defend but difficult to attack.
For the current troops of Cisse, there is simply no way to break through Daxia's line of defense.
therefore.
Since Daxia organized the city defense on the Cisse side, it has also completely solved the crisis faced by the Cisse side.
So in fact, the people on Xisai's side didn't have much contact with Zhang Bao.
But for them, during this process, they all recognized Zhang Bao very much.
Because the kings who belonged to any previous dynasty were actually in a state of laissez-faire towards Xisai. It is precisely because of this laissez-faire state that the local people in Xisai developed a This situation of strong folk customs.
Their toughness does not come from attacking people, but for self-defense.
They need to use their own armed forces to maintain their own security.
But when their armed strength became prominent, the imperial court would actually regard them as a threat.
Therefore, the imperial court's attitude towards Cisse has always been very vague.
On the one hand, they were not willing to participate in the situation of the people of Xisai at all. On the other hand, they hoped that the people of Xisai could use their own abilities to help the court resist the attack of the Xisai vassal.
But this is not the case with Zhang Bao.
From the beginning of this large-scale migration, Zhang Bao himself actually gave them a lot of support, and this support was enough. Even if they left the local tribe, they could still have a good life.
You can even live a much better life than before.
As for Zhang Bao and the others, they integrated Xisai's side with their original business territory.
Through this kind of business operation, Xisai can be closely connected with their hinterland of Daxia.
Because for the people here in Daxia.
There is still huge demand for many things from him and Cisse.
Previously, Xisai did not conduct trade with the hinterland of Daxia.
Even if there is, it is through very few people that the goods are circulated among high-ranking officials and nobles, and have not entered the daily lives of ordinary people.
But this does not mean that the original market for this kind of goods does not exist.
So when Xisai came to contact them through Zhang Bao.
They have a lot of goods, and the local people in Xisai also have the means to make a living. In this way, for them in Xisai, on the basis of being able to maintain their original life style, It can also be improved in various aspects.
So in fact, when they heard that Zhang Bao would inherit the throne and officially take the throne.
For everyone on Cisse's side, they actually support it from the bottom of their hearts.
As for Cisse, they actually have very good fruits and spices.
And when they knew the news, almost everyone spontaneously prepared all kinds of good things at home, and organized themselves into a huge caravan, ready to be transported to the capital.
Enjoy it when Zhang Bao officially ascends the throne.
