A black palace stood in the very center of Shule City, even higher than the distant city walls, and its architectural style was completely different from the other houses in the city, and it was in a unique style, but it looked down on the whole city like a flock.

Wang Jian stood at the top of the palace, looking down on the city below, all of which was now his. Not only Shule, with Shule as the center, a radius of thousands of miles, is now under his control, a few years ago, was forced into the desert by the Han army, tens of thousands of troops struggled all the way in the desert, and finally set foot on this land of more than 10,000 people, they were greeted not by flowers and wine, but by the attack of the coalition composed of countless alien races, after a bloody battle, these Qin troops who broke out of the desert established their status as kings on this land with blood and sacrifice, Let the city-states that inhabit this land have to admit their existence, but it is only the poorest area at the very edge of the desert.

A year of respite allowed Wang Jian to regain his strength, and he used this year to vigorously purge the other races in this area, bringing them under his rule, a powerful army appeared, and in another year, he marched in a big way, defeated the other surrounding city-states, and gradually extended his rule to the current area.

At the beginning, the Qin army that crossed the desert with him was only five or six thousand people, but they were now Wang Jian's powerful arms to control this area.

In this area, slavery was originally practiced more backward, and in the Qin State, slavery was not a new affair, and many of those who committed crimes would be reduced to slaves, but like here, except for the nobility. It was the pattern of slaves, but Wang Jian was very surprised, but he had no intention of changing the situation, which was more conducive to his rule as far as he was concerned.

The slave farmers, the craftsmen, the armies of slaves, were so tame that they just killed their masters and claimed their rights to them. These slaves will bow down at your feet, and the slightest kindness you have to them will make them grateful to you.

The remaining 5,000 Qin troops are now slave owners in this vast area, even those soldiers who are wounded and wounded will own a piece of land and have a different number of slaves, and they are the most effective tools for Wang Jian to control this area.

Now the king scissors. In a very short period of time, tens of thousands of heavily armed soldiers can be gathered. In addition to the 30,000 standing army under their control, the new slave owners were able to bring their own weapons in wartime. War horses, leading their slave soldiers, appeared under their command.

For this area, Wang Jian is their heaven. The former rulers were all turned dead under his steel sword. The remnants also fled far away, and it seemed that they could no longer pose a threat to Wang Jian, but Wang Jian did not feel relaxed at all, because he knew very well that behind his back, there was a sharper knife, which threatened his safety all the time.

This knife is the Han Kingdom on the other side of the desert.

If they can cross the desert, they can naturally too, compared to their own destitute road at that time, if the Han Kingdom wants to come, it must be ready for everything, Wang Jian, who has been fighting with the Han Kingdom for many years, knows very well that the Han Kingdom's strong mobilization ability, unparalleled logistics supply capacity, it seems that what he can rely on is only this vast desert, but will the desert really become an obstacle for the other party?

Driven by this psychology, Wang Jian's most important generals and the most powerful forces were all arranged on the edge of the desert, and of the 30,000 standing troops under his command, 20,000 were gathered in Niya and Yining on the border, in order to resist the Han army that might rush from there at any time.

Another year has passed, their control of this area has been very solid, the arrival of the Qin people, brought advanced farming technology, the Qin army under their command, most of them were farmers before enlisting in the army, now, they have become slave owners, have a large area of fertile land, naturally will devote themselves to this land, advanced farming technology, hard-working slaves, created a lot of wealth.

But trouble finally came this year, to Wang Jian's surprise, the trouble did not come from the southern Han Kingdom, but from the north, groups of locusts dressed in black, riding war horses or camels, wielding scimitars of the enemy pounced on their own territory, the number of people was not very large, and they were easily annihilated, but after eliminating these people, it was like stabbing a hornet's nest, and more such enemies began to gather from the north and launched an attack on their own territory.

Three months ago, he gathered 20,000 troops, and fought with him in Kangju City, although he won that battle, but the fierceness of the war still makes him feel shocked, these black-clothed knights are like crazy demons, wave after wave of pounce on their battlefield, even if their corpses are in front of their own arrow array, stacked into a wall of corpses, these people pounced on their own array with their lives, and then there was a tragic hand-to-hand combat, after a battle, the tens of thousands of black-clothed people who came to attack were all wiped out outside Kangju City, But their own losses have also reached tens of thousands.

Although he won the final victory, this battle also made Wang shear his vitality, and what worried him more was the details of these enemies.

From where the captives were caught, he knew that these black knights came from a country called the Great Eclipse, and their supreme leader was called the Caliph, and they were just a group of expelled people after the failure to compete for the supreme leader in the Great Eclipse country, they were homeless, they could only come all the way south, and accidentally discovered this rich territory, originally they wanted to occupy this land as their new territory, but they didn't want Wang Jian to come one step ahead of them.

The information he got made Wang Jian a little shocked, when he was in Great Qin before, he had never imagined that the world would be so big, and there were so many forces outside their imagination. This group of black knights who made him troublesome was nothing more than a pack of lost dogs, and it was already difficult for him to deal with it, if the victors in the mouths of those captives, what caliph came with a large army, what could he resist?

As an equally ambitious general, Wang Jian naturally knew that a broader territory was the endless pursuit of every superior, and no king would be satisfied with his current achievements. If they didn't know about their territory before, then these men in black who fled back would inevitably bring back this information, and maybe soon, more knights in black would follow.

The madness of these people's battles made the experienced Wang Jian feel a little trembling, even if there was only one person left, this person would wave his scimitar frantically, howl loudly in a language they didn't understand, and launch a decisive attack on them.

It's a bunch of crazy people.

In the following days, Wang Jian sent countless spies to the north, and brought back the news, which made Wang Jian even more frightened, that is a country with the integration of politics and religion, and its strength is not lost to the heyday of the Great Qin, and for the integration of politics and religion, Wang Jian is no stranger, Li Ru was in power when the Qin State, it strictly forbidden religion to interfere with the royal power, but all such people have become ghosts under the knife, religion can make people not like people, this is Wang Jian's cognition.

With his current ability, it is absolutely impossible to resist the attack of this big food, and if he wants to keep his current fruit, the only possibility is to seek foreign aid from outside.

But I don't have any foreign help to look for.

It was at this time that Lu Chao's envoy finally found himself, and from the mouth of this envoy, Wang Jian knew the general trend of the Central Plains now, and what made him cold was that the Han Kingdom was becoming more and more powerful, while his homeland of Great Qin was becoming more and more weak, and was about to fall into the brink of civil war.

The envoy did not hide what Lu Chao was thinking now, and what Lu Chao wanted to do.

Although three years is not a long time, but for Wang Jian, it seems to be a century, so long that he almost forgot the appearance of his homeland, in the past three years, what he has to do every year is how to make himself struggle to survive and live better on this land, and the memory of the past has long been blurred.

Back to the Qin State? This thought has long been gone, if you can hold this territory, you will be better off here, Daqin, what else can you give yourself? Or, what did they give themselves?

However, the arrival of this envoy made Wang Jian grasp a life-saving straw or at a certain time, if Lu Chao succeeded, if in his hands, he could revive a powerful Qin State, then, or he could become a powerful foreign aid for himself, and at that time, he could use their strength to keep the territory he is now in.

He did not refuse the envoy, but gave him a warm reception and a full of promises, but until now, he had not made up his mind what to do. If the time really comes to support Lu Chao, even if it is just to contain the Han army, it will provoke the giant Han Dynasty, is it really worth it?

The powerful neighbor to the north has just seized the highest position in the country, and it will take two or three years to sort out the internal affairs and completely grasp the power, and he only has two or three years of respite. But his current strength, no matter how carefully he prepares, will not be able to withstand the surging black-clothed cavalry at that time.

Wang Jian sighed, stood up, and closed the window.

In the empty hall behind him, hurried footsteps sounded.

"Great General, General Niya Huang Pegasus sent a message, they captured the envoy from the Great Han Kingdom." One of the guards hurried in and replied loudly.

Wang Jianhuo turned around. Dahan Kingdom, Gao Yuan, you finally know my existence, are you finally here? (To be continued......)
