Daniu looked around this border town and it was really poor here.

The people of the Western Regions do not seem to attach great importance to border towns.

Instead, it has a laissez-faire attitude.

This place is not even as good as Xizhou City.

The border town in Guanzhong will be much better.

There are more soldiers and horses in the border city than in the border city.

The residents were wearing shabby clothes and lived like beggars. If they were stationed, they might have to pay food for them.

“It’s so dilapidated here.”

The big bull sighed.

"The people in the Western Regions had different ideas than the people in Guanzhong. The soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty were often external. Unless they were in civil strife, they would not transfer the soldiers and horses of the border into Guanzhong. Even during the reign of Emperor Shi, the world was in chaos, and the Emperor Shi did not mobilize the soldiers and horses of the border. For the father, the territory expansion of the Tang Dynasty was more important. For the people in the Western Regions, they only wanted to protect themselves. The life and death of the people in the border city was not so important to King Gaochang."

Li Ke said as he looked at the dilapidated city wall.

Wang Xuance tortured several defenders in Western Regions dialect, "The king of Gaochang sent 40,000 troops to attack Xizhou, and there were at least 50,000 troops to guard the capital of Gaochang."

Li Ke said again: "It is already very good to have 100,000 troops for Gaochang State."

Gaochang is originally a small country with very limited military strength and population. It is even hard to say whether Gaochang himself has the 100,000 troops.

The lords of small countries in the Western Regions often hire some bandits from the Western Regions to fight.

Sometimes his status is even worse than that of some bandit leaders in the Western Regions.

The Western Regions are a very cruel place, and there is not much dignity here.

The news that the Guanzhong people captured Gaochang Border City was heard within two days after the war.

The old King Gaochang was so angry that he smashed the thing in front of him, "Aren't they in Xizhou? They actually came to attack Gaochang?"

The people of Guanzhong made King Gaochang angry and anxious at this moment.

The charming woman standing beside King Gaochang said, "The respected king is just over a thousand Guanzhong people. Among these people, they also have the son of Your Majesty Zhong. Songtsen Gampo wrote a letter saying that he is the current King of Shu."

Listening to the words of the women around him, King Gaochang's tone suddenly softened.

The guards and strategists standing aside could tell at a glance that this charming Persian woman was very important to King Gaochang.

The charming woman continued, "King, why not take down His Highness the King of Shu first, and then we will benefit more from the Emperor Majesty who threatens Guanzhong."

The beauty was standing beside King Gaochang again, "Okay! Just do that."

The Jingyang Guard continued to advance towards the capital of Gaochang.

Gaochang State is not big, and it is just a small piece of land in the Western Regions.

However, Gaochang is also a very famous country in the Western Regions. Since the Western Turks consumed their population and national strength due to the war, Gaochang's status in the Western Regions has become increasingly higher.

The scout brought two Western Regions people to report, "His Royal Highness, captured two Western Regions people who came to surrender."

The two old men were brought to the team.

Li Ke looked at the two old men.

"I dare to ask, His Highness the King of Shu in Guanzhong."

The other party asked in Guanzhong dialect first.

"I didn't expect that there would be an old man from the Western Regions who could speak Guanzhong dialect." Wang Xuance said with interest.

"Every year in the first year of Guanzhong, we would leave the Western Regions to Guanzhong to congratulate His Majesty of the Tang Dynasty. We have been to Chang'an several times and will also do some jade trading with the people of Guanzhong."

Li Ke nodded and asked, "If you can go to Chang'an to congratulate me, are you people under the throne of Gaochang?"

"It used to be, but it is not now." The old man from the Western Regions said: "When King Gaochang was once the King Gaochang we supported when he was a child. However, after the Western Turks were lonely, King Gaochang became more and more arrogant. In addition, the great cannibals from afar gave King Gaochang a Persian woman."

"Now King Gaochang has been completely confused by the Persian woman. We have also advised King Gaochang. He kept saying that the woman was just his plaything, but now it seems that King Gaochang has become this woman's plaything. She asked King Gaochang to conquer Xizhou for the treasure she wanted."

Listening to the explanations of these two old men, Gao Chang seemed to have a big problem.

The old man from the Western Regions knelt on the ground and said, "We originally intended not to offend His Highness the King of Shu. Knowing that His Highness the King of Shu in Xizhou, he even advised King Gaochang not to offend His Highness the King of Shu and all the warriors in Guanzhong. But the King of Gaochang has been controlled by that hateful Persian woman. We have been driven out since the moment King Gaochang launched an expedition to Xizhou."

As the two old men in the Western Regions were crying, "All this is the decision of King Gaochang and the Persian woman. It has nothing to do with Gaochang's people. I would like to ask the Tang Dynasty not to blame Gaochang's people in the future. If you want to blame, let King Gaochang and the ignorant woman get the punishment they deserve."

"We have been to Chang'an, and we know the prosperity of Chang'an and the power of the Tang Dynasty. King Gaochang didn't know, nor did the Persian woman know, and sooner or later their arrogance ruined Gaochang now."

Wang Xuance pulled the reins and asked, "What's the situation in Gaochang now?"

"King Gaochang has sent 20,000 people to set off, saying that he is going to take down His Highness, King Shu."

Li Ke looked grim and looked at Wang Xuance beside him.

When Wang Xuance saw Li Ke's eyes, he immediately took someone to investigate.

Li Ke said to the two old men: "I have recorded all your words. After pacifying Gaochang, I will ask you to take King Gaochang to Chang'an to apologize!"

The old man kowtowed repeatedly, "Thank you, Your Highness, King Shu."

The big bull and his men were investigating the surrounding situation. The place where he was located was a wasteland.

This land has no weeds at all.

When I opened the land, Daniu looked at the representation on the map. According to the signs made by the teacher on the map, there should be a small oil field here.

Several members of the Jingyang Guard were digging, and they had already dug two meters deep.

"General Niu seems to have dug up something."

The big bull looked into the cave and saw a lot of black things seeping out of the soil.

Turning over and jumping into the hole, the big bull looked at the black oil that kept seeping out of the ground, confirming that the teacher's logo was correct, and there was indeed a small oil field in Gaochang Country.

"No need to dig anymore, let's go back first."

Several people climbed out of the cave entrance, and Wang Xuance came with people, "Big Bull! Go back to the team quickly, Gaochang's army is about to come."

The big bull crawled out of the hole in a panic, "A large army?"

Wang Xuance nodded, "It should be not far from here."

The big bull and his men turned over the horse, "Where are the soldiers and horses of Gaochang Kingdom now?"
