The big beef bites off the red melon flesh in one bite. The sweet and juicy flesh penetrates the mouth and has a cool feeling. The fatigue all over her body disappears a lot. She ate a piece of watermelon in two or three bites.

"Get happy." Wang Xuance said with a smile: "Eat slowly, there's something else."

The big bull asked while eating, "What kind of melon is this?"

Wang Xuance spit out the watermelon seeds and said, "Your Highness the King of Shu said that this melon is called watermelon. In the Western Regions, there are tributes from the court. Most people cannot eat this kind of melon."

The big bull picked up a piece and ate it again. There were such delicious melons in this hot and arid Western Regions.

"I thought about it. When I return to Guanzhong, I will bring these watermelon seeds back. Such delicious melons cannot be eaten by these Westerners."

Listening to Wang Xuance's words, the big giant asked, "Can you also grow this kind of melon in Guanzhong?"

"I asked the people here and they said that this kind of melon is not very picky."

After eating a few pieces of watermelon, the big beef was full.

When he arrived at the camp of the guards, the big bull fell asleep. After traveling to Xizhou for half a month, he finally could have a comfortable sleep.

The big bull didn't know how long he had slept in this sleep. It might be because he was too tired. After waking up, the big bull felt dizzy and the city of Xizhou was still very busy.

After taking the water handed over by the soldiers on the side, Da Niu drank it in one sip so that his throat would feel more comfortable.

"General Niu, Your Highness the King of Shu is already waiting for you."

The big bull patted his face to make himself more awake.

Follow the soldiers all the way.

When I came to a barracks, I saw Li Ke discussing things with Wang Xuance.

The big giant walked up and said, "Your Highness, King of Shu, Brother Wang."

"Let's eat first." Li Ke said

The big beef took the cake and ate it. It hurts a little while eating it. It seems that it has been stored for a long time and can be used to fill the stomach.

A marching picture was placed on the table, and the big bull looked at the mark on it, "Is it going to fight?"

Li Ke nodded with a serious expression, "We sent news from our scout that Gaochang's 40,000 troops are only one day away from Xizhou. As soon as tomorrow, they are likely to be at the city."

Wang Xuance said again: "There are 40,000 soldiers and horses we have seen now, and there is nothing else that can be said after that."

It is hard to say how many troops Gaochang has. If Gaochang plans to take over Xizhou with the whole country, the small Xizhou City is no match for Gaochang at all.

Even if the 40,000 troops are facing now, more than 1,000 people have to deal with 40,000 troops, and the number of people is too huge.

The most important thing at the moment is to solve the current dilemma first.

The big bull opened his parcel and took out another map from it.

This map is much larger and there are many details on it.

Li Ke has seen this kind of map, and except for the academy in Jingyang, only Li Zheng has it in his hands. Li Zheng took out this kind of map when he was negotiating with Songtsen Gampo.

Daniu drew several routes on the map and said, "Although Xizhou is rich, Xizhou is also a place without any dangers."

Li Ke and Wang Xuance remained silent and were right. Now they are just alone and have no support in the rear, except for the Hexi Corridor thousands of miles away.

Even if it is a Hexi Corridor to send troops, it will take half a month to arrive in Xizhou at the earliest.

Moreover, even if the news is sent to the Hexi Corridor, His Majesty still needs to be approved by His Majesty. His Majesty still has to go through court discussions before making a decision. Even if he agrees to send troops to help, more than a month has passed.

I don't know whether to die or live.

There is no danger to guard in Xizhou, and the city walls are disrepaired for a long time and cannot be repaired in a short period of time.

The big bull whispered: "Why do I have to defend Xizhou to the end?"

Wang Xuance said: "Because Xizhou is very rich, it is suitable for us to rest and stay."

Daniu looked at the map and said, "Gaochang Country is not far from us."

Li Ke seemed to understand what the big bull meant, and he seemed to have never thought about it in this regard.

Wang Xuance said curiously: "If we give up Xizhou, where should we go?"

"Go to Gaochang."

Big Niu said.

Wang Xuance took a deep breath and said, "Go to Gaochang?"

Li Ke: "..."

As expected, I knew this kid would say that.

Wang Xuance looked at Daniu, "Tell me what you think."

Daniu said: "Since Gaochang Kingdom sent 40,000 troops to attack Xizhou, it is too risky to defend Xizhou. Even if we defend Xizhou City, it will be a loss of troops and generals. It will be of no benefit to us. In the current situation, the safety of our more than 1,500 members of the Jingyang Guards."

"There is no support in the rear, and no one will come to help us."

"It's better to take a detour to give up Xizhou and go straight to Gaochang State."

Wang Xuance said: "The old men in Xizhou said they could ask for help from other small tribes in the Western Regions. As long as they give some food to other small countries in the Western Regions, they would help resist. Xizhou has always used this method to defend, and it would be too risky to directly take Gaochang."

Li Ke whispered: "What we are most worried about now is not this. This time, Gaochang Kingdom is very bizarre, isn't it? Dashi is going to fight in the west of Persia. At this time, they are going to attack Xizhou? They themselves cannot protect themselves. At this moment, they should preserve their strength so that they will not drive straight in after Persia is defeated."

Wang Xuance and Li Ke looked at the big bull together.

Da Niu said while eating the cake, "What's that Tang?"

Li Ke said: "Tang Xuanzang?"

Daniu nodded and said, "This Tang Xuanzang is also a monk in Guanzhong. Didn't he say that he and King Gaochang are brothers? Let him persuade the king of Gaochang to not attack Xizhou for the time being."

Li Ke sighed and said, "Our people have sent letters to Tang Xuanzang, but this guy doesn't seem to care about our affairs."

Wang Xuance said: "I think it was Tang Xuanzang and Songtsen Gampo who joined forces to destroy us by Gaochang. Songtsen Gampo knew that His Royal Highness of the Tang Dynasty was here, and Songtsen Gampo and Li Zheng had a lot of grudges. Tang Xuanzang also went to flatter Songtsen Gampo, which was really hateful!"

He was very angry.

In the barracks, several people fell silent again.

Li Ke said, "Anyway, we can't defend this Xizhou City. Let's leave here first and come to take Xizhou another day, how about it?"

Wang Xuance nodded.

The big bull has no objection.

Li Ke continued: "It is not impossible to attack Gaochang State by detour. We can take the detour to the near Gaochang State first. Now Gaochang has sent 40,000 troops to encircle and suppress us. If the Gaochang defenders are insufficient, it is not impossible for us to take the opportunity to take Gaochang."

In the barracks, a decision was made.

When the guard decided to leave Xizhou, many people in Xizhou were reluctant to leave.
