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 very well that helping these Liu people is equivalent to providing help in times of need. And from another perspective, the Liu people are a civilian class in the Western Regions, similar to the people of the Central Plains, and are 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 startled, and he and Yan Yong walked to the corner.
"What?"
"Something happened... The three kings of the western kingdoms have all died in the 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 might be impossible, but if you are someone who is 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 a fool. Once the problem is discovered, Son of God's career of deception is 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 four to five thousand people, which would be the 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 previously investigated that, even excluding Dawan, the remaining western countries together still have nearly 100,000 troops. In other words, if several old kings had not died tragically, judging from the past situation,
They would not assemble 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 what Yanyong said, delaying time to find out the truth is also a way.
But the harm outweighs the benefit. 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 an endless yellow sand field. Hu troops are everywhere, and they are constantly joining the Chang army.
In this attack on Shu, the corpses of the three slain Lao Wang were still lying in golden coffins, and they went out with the army to boost the morale of the revenge army.
Miran, wearing golden armor, stood in the central military tent on the sand, his face full of anger.
"Everyone, I have invited the Son of God!"
As soon as Mi Lang finished speaking, the other three princes in the military tent frowned and raised their heads. Anyone who is not a fool can see the clues about the affairs of Dawan Kingdom.
At first Lou Luo was encouraged to raid King Xu of Western Shu, but when he was besieged by counter-attacks, the Son of God never showed up.
Putting on his black robe again, Upa stepped into the military tent and knelt in front of 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 shocking. Although they were all a little confused, whether it was Mi Lang, the king of Yu, or the guards of Xi, they all saw it. This matter was Shu.
What people do.
Coupled with anti-foreign sentiments, many things have been happening since the Shu people entered the Western Regions. Although they were frightened, if they did not go out for revenge, even if they became kings 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 Dawan, I went to the camp of Shu thieves and persuaded the thieves king Xu Mu to be kind. But Xu thieves didn't 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 moment, they all pointed their shared hatred at the Shu people again.
Mi Lang stood by and narrowed his eyes from time to time. If this was successful, not only would the Shu people be defeated, but the military strength of the other three kingdoms would also be weakened. Then, the Yu Kingdom would 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 through tears.
The two of them sang and harmonized, and soon the three little kings in the military tent were also confused, with murderous looks on their faces.
"The Shu thieves have less than 40,000 troops even if they include the Dawan people. This time, as the Son of God, I will never stand by and watch. I am willing to work with you 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, he 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 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.
