Chapter 148: Change of Mindset Situation in the Western Regions
Speaking of this, Elder Bayan burst into tears, and the light dust around him did not make a sound from beginning to end, but his expression was extremely gloomy!
Lonely and abandoned in the Western Regions, his heart is still concerned about the Central Plains.
However, the Central Plains no longer regards her as a wanderer, and the Western Regions regards her as an outlier!
After being silent for a long time, Pu Zhen asked softly in a hoarse voice, "Dare to ask Elder Bayan, the remains of General Wei...... Is it buried in Qiuzi? β
"Humph!"
At the mention of this, Ba Yan immediately snorted coldly, his face was like a thousand years of ice, and the light dust on the side was even more trembling!
"Light dustβ"
Seeing this, Lu An nervously reassured, "Is something wrong?" β
"Great-grandfather's bones...... It has been dug up and raised into the Jishu River! β
The Jishu River, which Lu An has seen on the map, originates in the northwest of the Western Regions, flows through Qiuzi, stretches for thousands of miles, and finally joins the Gulan Sea.
"Bastard!" When Pu Zhen heard this, he shouted violently, "Who did it!! β
Lu An was taken aback and looked at Mu Lingfeng in confusion.
Pu Zhen, this guy is sick, right?
Just now, he was disdainful of Qingchen's matter, and even he was thinking about how to find a way to fool this guy into escorting Qingchen back to Qiuzi.
But now it's good, as soon as I heard that the bones of General Wei were raised nearly a hundred years ago, it was as if someone had dug up his ancestral grave!
However, Mu Lingfeng didn't notice his expression, but was just as angry as Pu Zhen!
However, this is a good sign.
It seems that he doesn't need to work hard, with Pu Zhen's current state, Elder Bayan can deal with it alone.
"Who else? Of course, it's the traitors from the countries of the Western Regions! β
Elder Bayan was indignant.
"After the General of Self-Defense sat in the Western Regions, more than 60 countries were finally integrated into 36 countries, all of which were orthodox with the Central Plains Great Cadres."
"Even after General Wei died of illness, his descendants have always been promoted as orthodox by the countries of the Western Regions."
"It's just that with the passage of time, several powerful powers have emerged from the countries of the Western Regions, and finally broke away from the Qiuziwei family and stood on their own, such as Shache, Shule, Khotan, and Loulan!"
"The remaining small countries around Qiuzi are still orthodox with the Qiuzi Wei family, and they have not changed for decades."
"For example, I have a total of 28 countries, such as Qiuzi, Yuli, Moshan, Yanqi, Gumo, Jimo, Jingjue, Zuohui, etc., and they still take the Qiuci Wei family as the leader, and each of them sends one person into Qiuci as the elder."
"Xiao Lao'er is one of the elders who represents Qiuzi."
"In the past decades, every time we change the head of the Wei family, we will go through a joint vote to introduce the co-lord of the twenty-eight countries, with the male being the holy king and the female being the holy woman, and there has been no change."
"However, although the Western Regions are large, they are still too weak compared to the Central Plains and the Northern Desert Turks, and they have always been affected by the national strength of these superpowers."
"Since Emperor Huiyang of the Central Plains, the status of the Western Regions in the eyes of the Central Plains has been declining, coupled with the chaos of the Central Plains internal government, until the rising star Xia Dynasty replaced Daqian."
"The Xia Dynasty is newly established, although the lord of the country is working hard, but the northern Turks are also strong, and my Qiuzi Holy Lord has sent people to the Central Plains many times to show his heart of belonging."
"Emperor Xia, however, is too busy to take care of himself because of the proximity to the Turks in the north, and he has no ability to take care of Qiuci's homeland except for the envoys sent by both sides to pass every one or two years!"
"But the Northern Desert Turks are ambitious, on the one hand, they often invade the Central Plains powers, and on the other hand, they send Turkic rangers from time to time to attack the countries in the Western Regions, as well as the Hexi region."
"The Turkic cavalry is brave and good at fighting, good at looting, whether it is in the Hexi region or many countries in the Western Regions, they are both resentful and powerless to resist."
"Over time, except for the powerful Shache, Khotan, Shule and other countries, other small countries gradually fell to the Turks for various reasons."
"Of course, because of strength, even if someone falls to the Turks, it is understandable, and the Holy Lord of Qiuzi does not blame the countries for this."
"However, the most hateful thing is Loulan!"
"In fact, among the countries in the Western Regions, the strength of the Loulan Kingdom can only be counted as the middle and lower."
"But it occupies an extremely important geographical location!"
"Over the years, many countries in the Western Regions and more distant forces want to trade with the Central Plains, and a very important trade route will inevitably pass through the capital of Loulan!"
"The country of Loulan is located about ten miles northwest of the Lanhai Sea, and because the three rivers of Jishu River, Peacock River and Jimo River merge into the Lanhai Sea to form a triangular green state area, it is not only the only way for business, but also the most prosperous agricultural and pastoral land in the entire Western Regions!"
"Since the Turkic rangers became more and more influential in the Western Regions, the king of Loulan has become more and more inclined to submit to the Turks."
"Not only did he disobey the yang of my Qiuci country, but he even secretly conspired with Weili, Moshan, Yanqi and other former Qiuzi vassal countries to rebel!"
"Two years ago, the original Holy Lord of Qiuzi, that is, the father of my young lady, died of illness."
"The elders of my twenty-eight countries who stayed in Qiuci jointly elected the Holy Maiden as the queen of Qiuci."
"However, seventeen of these countries openly overturned the resolution of the Council of Elders, refusing to recognize the legitimacy of the Holy Maiden."
"In fact, these seventeen kingdoms were completely influenced by the Turkic forces, and the rebellion was mainly promoted by the Loulan state."
"In addition, because of its unique geographical location, Loulan is the main gateway connecting the Central Plains and the Western Regions, and it is also particularly favored by the Turkic forces, and secretly supports it!"
"Therefore, the king of Loulan fabricated out of thin air that the Holy Maiden of Qiuci wanted to cut off the Jishu River as an excuse, and encouraged the four countries along the Jishu River to attack Qiuci together."
"In the end, the twenty countries jointly responded to the proposal of the king of Loulan and launched a coalition of 5,000 troops to invade Qiuzi."
"Although my young lady is in charge of the Qiuci Royal City, the entire Qiuci army and civilians combined, there are less than 3,000 people, how can they resist the invasion of the 5,000 army?"
"After only holding out for half a month, the city of Qiuci King was broken, and the chaotic army rushed into the city, not only burning and killing, but also destroying all the bones of the holy lords and saints of my Qiuci dynasties, and spilling them into the Jishu River!"
"Fortunately, thanks to the desperate protection of the remnants of loyal people, the saint escaped the catastrophe and escaped to Middle-earth."
"After a lot of hardship, I came back a year ago."
"I, the elders of the twenty-eight countries, were originally the most loyal servants under General Wei, and they have been looking forward to the return of the holy woman, and they have been chased and killed by the alliance of the king of Loulan to the prison Lanhai, more than 1,000 people, until the reunion of the holy woman, there are only more than 300 people left."
Speaking of this, Elder Bayan looked even more sad and looked around in despair, "Before you arrived, more than half of the brothers died from hunting and thirst, and now only twenty-four of us are left!" β
"The glory of General Wei's operation in the past has disappeared in less than a hundred years!"
"We are sinners, ashamed of our ancestors!"
