After thinking about this, Daniu had a plan in his mind and went to Xizhou to meet His Highness the King of Shu first.

After thinking about this, the big cow lay on the haystack and fell asleep.

The next day, when I woke up, it was still dark.

Many members of the guard team had already gotten up and began to pack their luggage and prepare to rush forward.

The big cow had prepared food when he saw that the mute vomiting had already prepared.

There are no guests in the restaurants nowadays.

There is no figure in the vast Gobi Desert.

It was very quiet and panicked, the restaurant was very dark, and it was not time to open.

Sitting in the wine shop, Da Niu drank a bowl of porridge and ate a cake. Seeing Mo vomiting, he cut two pieces of jerky meat in front of him.

Moegu said, "Prepare more food, the journey to Xizhou is very long."

Daniu asked: "How many people do you have now?"

After thinking for a while, he said, "There are roughly 3,000 people who can use myself now, but these 3,000 people are not gathered together, but follow my children to do their business."

"Children, are the kids who went back to Guanzhong with you before?"

"These children who provide services to Mr. Mo are originally born and raised in Tubo. In the deserts of the Western Regions, they know how to survive. I just taught them how to do business."

Da Niu ate the porridge in the bowl and put the bowl in his hand and said, "Many people say that these children are doing things for Mr. Mo. I think it doesn't matter whether Mr. Mo is a person or not. In some ways, these children are all Mr. Mo."

He said in a low voice: "You speak very much like the Chang'an Order. You are also like the Chang'an Order, and you are good at seeing the essence through some falsehoods."

Daniu smiled and said, "I actually haven't learned much skills. I don't know many of the skills in my teacher yet. In fact, science is a science that can see through the false and recognize the essence of things."

He nodded silently, "It's true. The Turks are still using witchcraft to cure diseases. They are familiar with the fact that illness is just a physical problem and the gods. If they are sick, they have to cure diseases. This is the essence, but I have seen too many people who still believe in God."

"Just you said, it doesn't matter whether Mr. Mo really exists or not, and it doesn't matter who Mr. Mo is. Each of these children is Mr. Mo. When I grow old and die, they don't have to inherit the name of Mr. Mo, because they were originally Mr. Mo."

The conversation with Mouu made Daniu feel that Mouuu is a person full of experiences and stories.

He didn't have too many expressions on his face when he spoke, and the light in his eyes was also very light.

There was not much expression in his eyes, if he sat motionlessly.

Just looking at his thin body shape, it is easy for people to think that he is a dead person.

Mouu handed a small package to the big bull and said, "There are all salt in it. Don't forget to pour some of the above into the water he drinks every day."

Daniu accepted his package and said, "I understand."

The guards outside walked over and said, "Everything is ready."

The big bull was full, stood up and said, "Then I'll set out first, you should take care of yourself."

He bowed silently and bowed, "Walk slowly."

When I arrived outside the restaurant, the team was ready.

The big bull turned over the horse, confirmed the wind direction on the compass, and headed towards Xizhou.

After walking away, Daniu turned around and looked at the restaurant behind him, thinking about the current situation of silent retardation.

After passing here, you will leave Liangzhou, and there is a sandbank not far away.

There will be water sources near the sandbank, and it will take two days to get from Xiliang, Liangzhou to Shazhou.

Along the way, Daniu held a telescope in his hand and looked at the mountains and rivers here.

Growing up in the village since childhood, Daniu is very curious about everything here.

When we marched at night, the team rested under a Gobi cliff.

The big cow set out from Jingyang according to his own route, leaving Longyou and Longxi, went to the Hexi Corridor and passed Qilian Mountains, and left Liangzhou.

I am now at the junction of Guazhou and Shazhou.

The territory of Tubo is just below Shazhou, which is south of Shazhou.

After passing the sandbank, it is Xizhou.

Xizhou is a rare place in the desert surrounded by water, and it was also the key to commercial transportation since the Han Dynasty.

I remember the teacher said that anyone who masters Xizhou will master the key points of this business road.

No wonder Songzan Gampo and Lu Dongzan would lead their troops north to capture Xizhou.

As long as the Xizhou it owns is in the opposition between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty, Tubo can have greater discourse.

Of course, Xizhou is located in the territory of the Western Turks, and not far from Xizhou is the Gaochang Kingdom.

Six roads and twelve states, and thirty-six countries in the Western Regions.

These many forces scattered west of the Tang Dynasty are all factors in the instability of Xizhou.

Gaochang State and the Western Turks also often fought for the Western Prefectures.

Without the strong suppression of the Guanzhong emperor's powerful power, the entire Western Regions were covered with scattered sand.

If Guanzhong becomes strong, so powerful that it extends its hands to the Western Regions, these small countries in the Western Regions will be honest.

Now my route is somewhat similar to Zhang Qian during the Han Dynasty.

The nights here are very cold, and you can sleep comfortably by relying on the fire.

You can hear the howling of wolves from time to time at night.

He fell asleep listening to the howl of the wolf.

When he woke up, the team adjusted again and moved towards Shazhou.

Just as I was walking, I met a caravan.

Daniu immediately came forward to say hello and found that there were also Chinese people in this caravan.

"Is this business for everyone?"

Big Niu asked curiously.

When several Guanzhong people saw that they were asked about Guanzhong people, they also brought their troops and explained: "We are going to Tubo to do business."

The big cow took a closer look at the team. There were a lot of people, but there were not many goods.

Seeing something strange, Daniu said calmly: "Tubo has been in chaos recently, and the business is not easy to do."

"This young general said it was, if it weren't for the people we knew, it would be difficult to do business."

As they heard them say, Daniu said again: "Are you going to Shazhou?"

The other party replied: "Go to Shazhou to go to Tubo."

Daniu said: "I want to go to Shazhou to borrow the road to Xizhou, why not be together? We can have someone to accompany you, and you also need escorts."

"It's good or not."

The other party agreed and Daniu could see that they were very alert.

The big bull naturally understood that these people didn’t have much goods at all.

The Tubo people in the caravan seemed to be threatened by these Guanzhong people.

It's not considered a guide.

Daniu remembered that the general in the court seemed to have discussed sending Sezuo to Tubo to inquire about the situation. Now it seems that these people should be the ones, and they are likely to be from the Wei Mansion of the Tang Dynasty.

After another three days of travel, we arrived in Shazhou.

After contacting each other in the past few days, Daniu became more and more sure of his thoughts.
