I said that as long as I can stay and guard Xizhou, all the treasures in Xizhou can be taken out.

However, Li Ke never touched the treasures of Xizhou.

Few people are unmoved by so much treasure.

I have even seen many people kill each other because of these treasures.

It is really rare for people like these people in front of you to be unmoved by treasures.

The old man was helpless about their departure, and these guards did not owe Xizhou.

They want to leave, but Xizhou can't keep it.

Wang Xuance counted the number of people and directed the team to leave the city.

Li Ke and his men packed the baggage and food, and stored the necessary water.

The team was resting. Daniu looked at the river not far from Xizhou City, and then looked at the soil under his feet.

Water sources in the Western Regions are rare. Daniu opened the map again and looked at the tributaries on the Western Regions map. With such a water system, is there an underground river under the city of Xizhou?

In addition, Xizhou is a basin with a low terrain. Assuming that Xizhou was a rainy place in the past, then after the rain fell, it would definitely go to the center of Xizhou basin. Moreover, due to the poor ability to solidify the soil and water, the water would continue to go down.

It is very likely that the Hexi Corridor was not a Gobi and it was not a desert, a thousand years ago.

It's a huge oasis.

The underground river is likely to exist.

"What are you thinking? Have you set out?"

Wang Xuance's words came from behind him. The big bull came back to his senses and closed the map again, and rode his horse to follow the team.

Wang Xuance whispered: "This time Gaochang dared to get involved in Xizhou and even came to attack us. Don't he know that His Highness the King of Shu is in Xizhou? I dare say that Xizhou made a big mistake this time. If His Majesty plans to settle the score in the autumn, Gaochang will definitely have something to do."

Li Ke whispered: "What do you have to do with me? My father has already had ideas about the Western Regions. One day I will unify the Western Regions. If I really want to do this, my father will think that destroying Gaochang and establishing his authority is a very good choice."

The big giant said to Wang Xuance: "Your Highness, I seem to know what the treasure that will disappear in Xizhou is going to happen."

Li Ke whispered: "I don't care about those treasures, and I don't care about them."

Daniu really wanted to say that this may be related to the underground river in Xizhou, and the cave where the treasures were stored was located in the center of the Xizhou basin.

It's too early to say it now. What if my guess is wrong?

The team headed all the way to the west of Xizhou City.

The further you go west, the further you get out of the Xizhou boundary, there are mountains appearing.

The wind blowing on my face also began to get colder.

You can gradually see some green vegetation, which is very sporadic and not a lot of it.

The big bull rode on the horse and looked around with a telescope. Even if there were mountains, there were no vegetation on these mountains.

They are all bare mounds.

Wang Xuance said to Daniu: "There is a snow-capped mountain next to Lhasa in Tubo, which should be in the southwest of ours. Can you see it?"

Daniu looked at the telescope and looked towards the southwest direction. "If the telescope wants to see the target, it must be within the range of sight. Things that people cannot see can't be seen by the telescope."

Wang Xuance is not so interested in the telescopes in Daniu's hands.

The entire thirty-six countries in the Western Regions are distributed around huge deserts.

There is no country in the center of the desert.

The Western Regions and Tubo are separated by a large mountain. To the north of the mountain is the Western Regions, to the south of the mountain is Tubo, and to the west of the mountain is Persian Tianzhu and Dashi.

To the west of this mountain is another world.

The teacher also gave this mountain a strange name on the map, called the Himalayas.

The Himalayas are separated from the East and the West, and the Himalayas extend eastward is a dividing line between Tubo and the Western Regions.

There is another mountain called Tianshan to the north of the Western Regions.

The Western Regions are in the middle of these two mountain ranges.

Now in the Western Regions, the big bull can now feel the tremendousness of this world.

"Report!"

The scout's report interrupted the big bull's thoughts.

"The brigade of Gaochang Kingdom troops were found in front."

Wang Xuance and Li Ke looked at each other, "This should be the army sent by Gaochang Kingdom to attack Xizhou."

Li Ke said: "I didn't expect that they were so close to Xizhou."

Wang Xuance whispered: "By bypass them first, let's go to Gaochang first, and we need to see where the Gaochang king got the confidence to attack Xizhou."

Li Ke grinned and nodded, "Okay!"

The team changed direction and bypassed the opponent's army and headed towards Gaochang Country.

After walking for two days, when there were more and more green plants around, we arrived at the boundary of Gaochang Country.

We walked all the way to night.

The land here is not as sandy as Xizhou. It is very hard to step on the feet, like real soil, not like sand.

The big cow wrapped her clothes tightly, and the night here was very cold.

Under the cold moonlight, the ground is white.

Sitting on a high slope, the big bull looked at the full moon in the sky and had been in the Western Regions for more than a month.

It should have snowed in Guanzhong now in the middle of winter.

The moon here is very round and very big, and I don’t know if the moon the teacher and the others see is the same as themselves.

Seeing the big bull staring at the moon, Wang Xuance also walked up the slope and said, "Did you miss home?"

Daniu nodded and said, "Of course I think about it, but I have to do a lot of things in Tubo. After finishing my work in the Western Regions, I have to go to Tubo."

Wang Xuance smiled and patted Daniu on the shoulder and said, "I will help you when the time comes."

After saying that, Wang Xuance looked at the Shu King Li Ke who was sitting by the bonfire not far away.

The big giant whispered: "This time I came to the Western Regions, Your Majesty meant to take His Highness the King of Shu back, and I also talked to His Highness the King of Shu."

Wang Xuance tightened his clothes and said, "But he didn't mention it. Maybe he wanted to make a military contribution before returning to Guanzhong."

The team rested for one night, and as soon as it dawned, it drove to a border town in Gaochang Country.

This border town is not very big, the city wall is rammed with earth.

It's very simple, and it makes people feel like it's overwhelming.

Li Ke looked at the city with a confused expression for a long time, but he still planned to take action. Before taking action, he instructed: "Don't hurt civilians."

Wang Xuance nodded and rode his horse towards the small town with hundreds of members of the guards.

The big bull stood beside Li Ke and watched Wang Xuance and his men start siege from afar.

The way to siege the city is simple and direct.

Just kill directly to someone’s doorstep, and the low city walls are easy to climb.

Moreover, there were very few defenders, and they took down this small town without any effort.

When Li Ke brought him forward, Wang Xuance had already taken all the defenders here in front of the city.

There were more than 300 defenders in total, and they were kneeling in a very embarrassed manner.

Wang Xuance said: "The ones holding the weapons have been arrested, and a few more have escaped."
Chapter completed!
