The entire Western Regions has been stirred.

On the one hand, the king of Qiuzi, Su Vaddie, urgently mobilized troops throughout the country, and on the other hand, he asked for help from many other countries in the Western Regions.

It's just that, in the face of the menacing attack of the Qin army this time, no one is willing to deal with King Qiuzi. Even if the Turtle Envoy repeatedly said that his lips were dead and his teeth were cold, no matter how much he offered treasures, no one would help.

It's not that they don't help, it's just that they can't find a reason to help.

The reason for the Qin people to send troops is very open, the Qiuci country violated the previous agreement of the national alliance, and the prince of Qiuci sent mercenaries to intercept the Silk Road to rob the caravan and rob the goods, which crossed the line, and also made a very bad start, which was detrimental to the interests of all the countries in the Western Regions.

Although the Qin army patrolled and captured the prince of Qiuzi, although there were some cross-border behaviors, Great Qin had judicial power over the Silk Road and along the route, which was agreed at the beginning.

The Qin people captured Prince Qiuci and killed his robbers, which was not a big deal. But Qiuci sent tens of thousands of troops to besiege the cavalry camp, and the nature of this matter changed, this is Qiuci's undeclared war against Daqin.

Now Daqin is just responding to the war.

In such a situation, what reason do you give the nations to interfere?

Even if someone wanted to help reconcile, Anxi Road didn't pay attention to it at all now.

Now that the Qin State has made it clear that it is going to destroy the turtles, this is to kill chickens and set an example for monkeys.

King Qiuzi said that the Qin people had premeditated, and said that this was a conspiracy, and everyone couldn't help it, just like when the Qin army entered the Western Regions to destroy the Khan of Kui, after all, it was still the era when the strong were kings.

Pull out the city.

Monk Xu was now stationed in the city, and he called on the Qin merchants in the city to arm themselves to defend the city against the counterattack of the Qiuzi army. It is an important shopping mall on the Silk Road, where many Central Plains businessmen do business.

Even many Sogdian merchants were willing to accept bounties to join the defenders.

The Qiuzi people in the city were temporarily moved out of the city and placed in a small city outside the city, in order to prevent them from doing damage within the Qiuzi army.

However, for their houses, shops, property, etc., Monk Xu still sent people to protect them, and there were no robberies and murders.

Monk Xu's military discipline is obvious, and he is also strictly restrained on the sons of the city, the children of the patrol cavalry, and the militia of Tunzhuang.

There were not a lot of rewards, and he directly rewarded a lot of money, wealth, and goods from the Qiuzi government, and everyone received a lot of rewards, so everyone was quite happy.

This trip was not in vain, and the harvest was great.

The Silk Road almost stopped.

Many merchants did not dare to go out of the city, so they had to stay in the city for a while, and some dared to go to the northern route of the Silk Road from the Bodaling Pass in the north.

On both sides of the east and west, because they are both cities in Qiuzi, the merchants did not dare to leave, for fear of getting involved in the war and losing their lives and property.

And the merchants of the Central Plains, whether they were originally sitting as merchants in the city of Changba, or passing by as merchants, everyone was very united and willing to stay and help defend the city.

Monk Xu sent his 500 patrol cavalry and sent 50 patrol cavalry and 100 patrol cavalry to increase the defense of Dunduo City, and sent Xiao Jin's team plus 200 city pong Fanzi to increase the defense of Dashicheng.

In the change of the city, Monk Xu got a garrison composed of about 3,000 Qin merchants and Sogdian merchants, which made him temporarily have 5,000 soldiers and horses to defend the city, which is quite a lot of troops. Moreover, there was a lot of food and a lot of ordnance in the city, so he was not afraid for a while.

In the first few days, Monk Xu was actually not too worried about the counterattack of the Qiuzi people, he was most worried about the fact that he had caused a lot of trouble this time, and he didn't know how the above would deal with it.

After waiting for a few days, I finally saw the people from Jinyiwei, and they conveyed Cheng Yanjin's order.

Cheng Yanjin ordered him to hold on to the three cities of Bachang City and Dashicheng and Dunduo City, and if necessary, he could abandon Dashicheng, but Dunduo City, the controlling castle of the Bodaling Pass, had to be defended, and Bachang City had to be defended unless it was a last resort.

"The three cities of Qiuci that you occupy now are equivalent to cutting the Qiuci Kingdom into two sections, so that they cannot be connected from end to end, and Dunduo City is in hand, and the Yili princes in the north can also cross the Tianshan Mountain to help."

When he learned that Cheng Yanjin had decided to take advantage of the situation to destroy Qiuzi, Monk Xu didn't expect that he would make such a big deal this time.

But since it says that he must hold on, then he must hold on.

The order was conveyed, and everyone was very happy when they heard that the Governor of Anxi had directly credited everyone with meritorious service.

The king of Qiuzi, Su Huadie, didn't ask for any reinforcements, but he still didn't give up.

No one is willing to give up the throne, even if they are brothers, they will not be willing, let alone others. The King of Guizi, Su Vaddie, decided to fight to the death.

He had mobilized the whole country and conscripted an army of 100,000.

Regardless of the fact that all the soldiers and horses had not yet been summoned, Su Huadi directly pulled the more than 50,000 troops gathered in the eastern capital and the surrounding cities in the early stage and came towards Changba City.

He wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Qin army had not yet completed the assembly and before it arrived, first recapture the city of Bachang, and after pulling out the nail behind him, he would turn back to face the Qin army in Anxi.

Dashi Yicheng received an order from above, abandoned the post station, took the important documents in the post station, and evacuated.

"Withdraw?"

"Well, the superior ordered, King Qiuzi has led a large army over, and it is impossible for our post stations and beacon forts along the Silk Road to stop them, in order to avoid unnecessary losses, let them evacuate immediately."

"Where?"

"Withdraw to the city of Bachang."

"It's not just that we have to retreat, but all the post stations and Fengbao in the entire territory of Qiuci must retreat, and even my Great Qin merchants in the territory of Qiuci have reminded them to find a way to evacuate."

"Is it safe to change the city?"

"I don't know if An is safe, but I know that there are Monk Xu in Bachang City, and there are King Xiao Yan and them, and we have a companion in the past, and the Qiuzi people are coming, so we can fight side by side."

"Pack up, let's go, take away the official documents, stagecoaches, and stagecoaches. For the rest, just keep it, there's no need to destroy it, maybe it won't be long before we can come back. ”

When they were almost packed, Xu Fengshu, who had replaced Fengbao, also came over with eight Fengzi, and they also packed a lot of things.

"Thinking that you haven't left yet, sure enough, together, there is a companion on the road." Xu Feng said with a smile.

"Wait for you, or leave early."

The big stone post and the Bachang Beacon Fort are not far away, the people on both sides are very familiar, and they used to come and go when they were not on duty, but now it is indeed more companionship and safer to go on the road together.

More than a dozen people led horses and carts to evacuate, and behind them, there was still beacon smoke burning on the Beacon Fort, which was the last beacon smoke sent by Xu Feng before evacuating.

The Silk Road is closed, retreat!
