Chapter 523: The Western Regions Rise

Half a month later.

Yumen Pass.

Prince Wang Fugui and the eldest prince are finally gone, they have stayed here for too long, and they have rested enough on vacation, it is time to go back to work.

Before leaving, Wang Fugui repeatedly invited Han Yun to build a teleportation array in the capital, even if he didn't build it in the imperial city, he could build one in his house, so that it would be much more convenient for him to come to Yumen Pass in the future.

Of course, these words were said by him to Han Yun alone, and it was impossible for him to say these words in front of the eldest prince Huang Gonggong.

Han Yun was noncommittal, but just said that the next time he went to the capital, he would build one.

After all, it is a very troublesome thing to build a fixed-point teleportation array, and it will take half a month to build one here at Yumen Pass now, and then build another one at the end of the capital. m..

Han Yun didn't want to waste that much time.

Wang Fugui They came directly to the Yin-Yang Sect from the Yumen Pass, using the teleportation array, and then returned to the capital from the Yin-Yang Sect.

After all, it takes a month and a half to walk back to the capital from Yumen Pass, and it only takes half a month to go to the capital from the Yin Yang Sect, and if it's fast, it's just a few days.

In fact, in comparison, it is closer to the capital from the Heavenly Master's Mansion, after all, the Heavenly Master's Mansion is at the junction of Luochuan, Qinchuan, Longchuan and Yanchuan, and Luodu is in the northwest of Luochuan, which is very close to the Heavenly Master's Mansion.

It's just that on the side of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, outsiders are not allowed to enter without the consent of others, and they don't want the court to know where their nests are.

Therefore, these royal people can only turn around from the Yin Yang Sect.

After sending Wang Fugui and them away, Han Yun concentrated on teaching the generals and his disciples martial arts, and the matter of military training was handed over to Zhao Long, and he was very relieved.

Today, when Han Yun was teaching his disciples, someone suddenly came to report that Nie Ze had invited him to the Shuai tent to discuss matters.

Marshal Yue's Mansion was also in the north of Yumen Pass, not far from the main camp of the defense army, Han Yun put down what he was doing and flew directly to the camp.

After entering the handsome tent, Han Yun saw that many people had already come.

Nie Ze, the Qi family patriarch, Zhao Long, Pan Dengyan, and some defense generals have all arrived here.

"What's wrong? Why did all the military people arrive? ”

After asking, he looked at Pan Dengyan again,

"This is a military meeting, what are you doing here?"

Pan Dengyan thought about it and said,

"I don't know why I'm here, I just passed by the door, and Marshal Nie pulled in to discuss matters together."

"Oh."

"You seem to look down on me, so I'll go?"

"No."

The big guys looked at these two second-grade powerhouses bickering like children, all of them were full of black lines.

"Two, let's talk about the current situation."

Nie Ze pointed to the military map and said,

"Ladies and gentlemen, you see, this is the Yumen Pass, which is where we are, and to the west of us, there are dozens of small countries, and they believe in Buddhism, all of which belong to theocratic states.

Although there are occasional frictions and wars between them, they are generally adjudicated and mediated by Buddhism.

The Western Regions have not invaded our Central Plains for many years, because a few years ago, there was a military god in our Central Plains, who scared all their countries, so that they could only recuperate and restore their national strength, and they were unable to invade us again.

But now, they're starting to move again.

Note that these three countries are directly bordering us, namely Hami in the north, bordering Longchuan, and the closest to our Yumen Pass.

The central country of Luobu borders Longchuan and Qinchuan, and Ruoqiang in the south borders Qinchuan.

Further west, there is the Cheshi Kingdom in the south and the Loulan Kingdom in the north.

At present, these five countries are all gathering troops.

Hami, Luobu and Ruoqiang, which are relatively close, have gathered more than 100,000 troops respectively, these small countries are not strong in national strength, and their population is also small, and more than 100,000 soldiers are already pouring the strength of the whole country, and they obviously want to launch a national war, a large-scale war.

And the Cheshi country, which is a little farther away, has also gathered an army of 100,000 troops.

The most terrifying thing is Loulan, almost all the men in the country are assembled in armor, both young and old.

Loulan is a small country within a small country, with a population of only five or six hundred thousand, and an army of 200,000 has been gathered. ”

Hearing this, Han Yun said calmly,

"Loulan's population of 5,000,000 or 600,000 people, excluding women, the elderly, infants and young children who can't walk, these 200,000 people are all their labor force.

Stop all planting and production.

In this case, unless he is on the verge of destroying the country, no monarch will be dizzy and do this.

Is there a country that wants to fight Loulan recently? ”

Hearing this, Pan Dengyan suddenly realized and said,

"I know, it must be those four countries that are going to fight Loulan, so Loulan gathered all its troops to defend the country."

Hearing his words, everyone rolled their eyes in unison, and no one believed it.

Nie Ze also felt that it was really a wrong choice for him to bring this goods over for a meeting.

"Brother Pan, you sit down first, as I said just now, even if there are contradictions and wars in the countries of the Western Regions, there will be Buddhism to mediate.

Buddhism has always been hypocritical, preaching the virtue of having a good life, plus the thirty-six countries are all worshiped to them, obey their orders, and they will not allow Loulan to destroy the country for no reason, otherwise what do other countries think?

It is impossible for so many countries to fight Loulan for no reason, Loulan is barren, there are not many resources and land, even if they fight Loulan, how many benefits can the four countries share?

They also have to bear the losses of the war, and they also have to allocate funds to improve the livelihood of the people in Loulan, which is a loss-making business.

Loulan place, we don't want to give us Dachuan, let alone other countries? ”

Hearing this, Pan Dengyan rubbed his nose awkwardly and stopped talking.

Han Yun spoke,

"Of the thirty-six nations, only the five closest to us have gathered troops, and the only thing that can make a king lose his head and bring about his own destruction is the power of faith.

Not surprisingly, it should be Buddhism that poured him a lot of chicken soup for the soul and painted a lot of flatbread, so that the monarch of Loulan was willing to gamble on the fortune of the country to make a desperate bet.

As you said just now, Buddhism won't let them fight all the time, so Loulan won't go to the surrounding countries.

Well, now their goal is very clear, which is our Okawa. ”

The Qi family patriarch nodded and said,

"Indeed, I have reason to suspect that Buddhism is planning to attack our Dachuan, and if they want to attack Dachuan, they must take the road of Yumen Pass, the southwest of Longchuan and the west of Qinchuan are all plateaus and mountains, it is difficult to march, only the Hexi Corridor is quite flat, if you want to invade the Central Plains, you have to eat our Yumen Pass first."
