There are many countries in the Western Region, and more than a hundred years ago, there were even many independent city-states. However, no matter where they were, the law of big fish eating small fish was followed, and the weak preyed on the strong. As time went by, many small countries and city-states were
Disappeared.
"Si Hu, have someone take the iron cart back to the barracks in Zhenlan City first."
In Xu Mu's opinion, these ironworks are like treasures. In the end, the ironworks in Chengdu are more trustworthy.
"Yanyong, you have been living in the Western Regions for a long time, do you have any ideas?"
Xu Mu sat down beside him and spoke.
In the entire Western Region, there are mostly small countries in the east. With Yin Hu's efforts, he is not too resistant to Xi Shu and has even joined the coalition. The most difficult thing is that like Dawan, the big countries in the west
.
If time is urgent, if there is no other way, we can only continue the conquest and conquer them one by one. You must know that Yin Hu stayed here and spent more than a year, but still failed to succeed in these lobbying. Not
It means that there is something wrong with Yin Hu's ability, but that these barbarian kings in the west always like to stick together and are too proud to do anything.
In the case of Dawan, if Lou Luo hadn't been stupid and left a pretext to start a war, other countries would have helped each other overtly or covertly.
"My lord, here in the west, besides Dayuan, there are four countries. The Xi country, the Wuzi country, the Yu country, and the Cone Dog country. Although there are occasional wars, these people are the most popular during major events.
Holding each other together. The Changpeng Kingdom mentioned earlier was just a small country. At that time, the Xi Kingdom also united with three other countries, with ten times the number of people, to invade and conquer."
"Yanyong, this guy's name is so confusing." Xu Mu rubbed his eyebrows.
Yan Yong also smiled bitterly, "The Western Regions have been fought and killed for hundreds of years. The one that had the best chance of unification was the rise of a great country two hundred years ago. But it was soon destroyed by a joint attack by other countries."
"Yanyong, further west...is there a place called Persia?"
Yanyong thought for a while, "I don't know. If we go more than four hundred miles out of the Western Region, we will hit the snowy mountains, and no one will be able to get through."
Xu Mu thought for a while and nodded.
"Yanyong, please continue."
Yanyong calmed down his conversation, "Three years ago, Xiguo and Dawan were at odds over the issue of oasis allocation. Because of this, the two threatened to fight. I was in Huangcheng at that time, and I could hear people outside.
The horses' hooves of the Xiguo people were heard. But for some unknown reason, they suddenly stopped beating."
"Later, I paid more attention. I heard that the true God appeared and caused the two countries to stop fighting——"
Bang.
Xu Mu slapped his palm heavily on the table next to him.
This look shocked Yanyong.
"I've probably figured it out." Xu Mu frowned, "These big countries in the west have not made any statements at all except for occasional gifts. Now that I think about it, there is a thread that connects them together."
"Lou Luo is the first silly bird. Who knows, there will be a second silly bird."
"The next step in the Western Region is the situation in Xiguo!"
Xu Mu narrowed his eyes and was stunned for a moment.
…
"Damn it, damn it." Upa gasped, with uncontrollable anger in his voice.
After just two days of rest, the mysterious enemy caught up with them again.
"Teacher, who did you offend?"
Next to Upa, the middle-aged man with a gloomy face remained cold and silent.
"That building on the other side of Dawan Kingdom is clearly facing Xishu, and it's already going to cause trouble."
The middle-aged man turned a deaf ear and kept looking at the bottom of the rock wall. After a while, his eyes suddenly became fierce.
Under the rock wall, two rickety figures wrapped in black robes, riding horses, caught up to them again.
"Teacher, what is going on? Why can these two people always know the direction?"
The middle-aged man was startled, and his face suddenly looked shocked.
"Teacher, don't worry, I'm going to kill the horse! How can this lame catch up after killing the horse?" Upa gritted his teeth and quickly moved his body. When he used Qinggong to fly into the air, he suddenly took out four or five handles in his hand.
The flying knife was about to eject downward——
"set!"
One of the figures on horseback suddenly threw the noose and caught Upa, who was delivering the goods to his door, in the air unexpectedly, and then fell heavily.
"Have you ever heard of Yang Wuchou, the Hero of Thousand Weapons?" The figure on horseback laughed, "I'm just waiting for you to jump."
"Elder, I chopped up this little fox!"
The figure on the other horse nodded calmly. Then he drew out his long sword, stepped on the rock wall with one foot, and exchanged strength with the long sword. In a short time, he was about to climb onto the rock wall.
But at this moment, the old friend below suddenly let out a cry of pain.
He was startled, and when he lowered his head and looked down, he found that his old friend had been stabbed and was paralyzed in a pool of blood. The trapped little fox had already fled quickly and disappeared in less than a moment.
Giving up on climbing the wall, the figure hurriedly jumped down.
"Elder Zhuge, the little fox has a double crescent birthmark on his arm..."
Zhuge Fan's eyes suddenly opened wide, and his pale face suddenly became dull.
"Teacher, why didn't you save me just now?" Upa moved lightly with a look of grievance on his face.
The middle-aged man who was also practicing Qing Gong was obviously mute, but his face clearly showed a trace of indifference.
"Teacher, why don't you go to Xiguo first? Everyone from the Black Eagle Gate has also gathered in Xiguo."
The middle-aged man nodded.
"Damn it, these two lingering old ghosts, I almost got killed just now." Upa cursed, "After entering Xi Kingdom, those two old ghosts still dared to come, so they were chopped alive!"
…
Buzz.
Xiguo, the royal capital is Crescent City.
An old man wearing a crown knelt on the ground devoutly, looking at an old witch in front of him as he sprinkled silver powder into the stove, causing all kinds of strange fire smoke to rise.
Dayuan changed hands and the Shu people became stronger, so he needed to make a choice.
"King, great evil!"
"There are five paths of fire and smoke. If one is lost first and then four are lost, the Shu people want to annex the five countries!"
The Five Kingdoms are the five countries in the west of the Western Region. The one that loses one of them first is Dawan. The next four that loses are the remaining four countries.
The old man trembled and closed his eyes, then opened them again after a long time.
"Go and send me a state document to Wu Zi, Yu State, and Cone Quan. Then tell me that I am leaving the country and there are important things to discuss."
"Your Majesty, you must not make enemies of the Shu people. The battle in Dayuan City shows the bravery of the Shu people, and the king of Shu is invincible..." From the side, a man who looked like a general came over hesitantly.
"It's not about being an enemy, it's about choosing a better way. No matter what, you have to do something first."
"The Son of God said that in the past two days, the country will receive breath..."
"not see."
The old man said in a cold voice, "He is scheming, but the King of Shu really dares to do it! Which is more serious, I am not a fool."
"King, fierce, fierce elephant!" The old witch shouted hurriedly, probably because he heard something.
The old man didn't listen. He stood up and walked toward the palace with deep thoughts.
In front of him, Dayuan was a bloody example. No matter what, he had to wait for discussions with other countries before making a decision.
