Zhao Long had a good impression of the two officials, and these entertainments were inevitable in officialdom, so he nodded and agreed.

Suddenly, Zhao Long asked,

"Lord Prefect, is there still more grain and grass in the city?"

"It's more, it's just that there is no water, Zhao Shuai rest assured, this official will not treat the soldiers of the Wang Division badly, there is a lot of grain, grass, cattle and sheep in the city, and this official will order to kill cattle and slaughter sheep to reward the three armies.

It's just that there is not much wine, and I am afraid that I will not be able to let the soldiers drink it, after all, there is a shortage of water in the city, and the wine is taken by the officials to quench the thirst of the soldiers. ”

Zhao Long shook his head and said,

"I didn't mean that, there is not much food and grass in our army now, the prefect can prepare the grain and grass needed for the five days of the 100,000 army, and hand it over to our army, after all, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in your city also need to eat and drink, and we can't take too much.

When it comes time to report the taxes, you just have to report them, these are taken by the Zhenbei Army and the Yuejia Army, and the court will report the accounts. ”

"That's natural, but I'm afraid five days is not enough, you have to go back to Yumen Pass, even if you go around from the west side of the mountain range, it will take half a month, right?"

"That's no need, you just need to prepare five days' worth of food and grass, and we'll take care of the rest."

"Understood."

Zhao Long and Xie Xing called the lieutenant generals and asked them to set up camp on the spot, bury the corpses of the enemy soldiers, and at the same time prepare to receive the beef and mutton sent from the city.

The two of them entered the city with their guards.

When they arrived at the mansion, the two sides sat down, the prefect and the county guard toasted frequently, and said good words without money, and kept praising the courage of the Zhenbei Army and the Yuejia Army.

Looking at the cautious attitude of the two big officials towards him, Zhao Long was a little embarrassed, just a few months ago, he was only a small commander of Wuwei County, the prefect and the county guard were his unattainable existences, he hated the person the most, and he was also the person his father and all the other people had to be careful to flatter.

And now, just a few months have passed, and when I see other county guards and prefects again, I have cautiously become someone else, and I have become the one who is flattered.

The two sides have been chatting and exchanging information while drinking, and Zhao Long knew how difficult the defense battle of Cliff City was, and also sighed that it was not easy for them.

The prefect and the county guard also learned about the trouble caused by the Loulan army in the north, and they were angry and scolded, eager to follow Zhao Long to fight the Loulan Kingdom and avenge the people.

After having enough to eat and drink, Zhao Long and Xie Xing shirked the residence they had prepared for the second official position, got up and left, returned to the barracks, and continued to direct the aftermath.

The beef and mutton in the city were also pulled out, and the smell of meat soon wafted in the barracks outside the city, which made the officers and soldiers of the Yuejia Army of the Zhenbei Army, who had been fighting and eating dry food for several days, smile and feast.

Some of this meat was bought by the prefect and the county guard, and some of it was donated by the people in the city spontaneously for the soldiers to eat.

After all, they also know who saved them.

The beef and mutton soldiers ate it, and the shaved bones and other things were fed to the wolf.

Desert wolves are not short of food, they are demon beasts, they can eat people, so many enemy corpses, thrown and thrown, must be fed to wolves.

Every time there is a war, as long as there is a battle, the desert wolf will not lack food to eat.

The evening was spent in the laughter of the soldiers, and everyone was very happy.

After sleeping comfortably for the night, early the next morning, the Zhenbei Army and the Yuejia Army set off again.

This time, they went all the way west.

The soldier pointed to the sword and pointed to the country of Luobu.

…………

Directly west of the Dachuan Empire is the Qinchuan Plateau, which is also the highest plateau in the world.

In these deserts, there are also many oases and trickles, where people build earthen houses and graze, creating a unique local culture with the characteristics of the Western Regions.

In the country of Lop Nur, the most famous is Lop Nur, which is a vast ocean lake and a rare freshwater lake in the Western Regions.

In the desert, water resources are extremely precious, and people settle down in water and grass, where there is water and a better ecological environment, people go to live there.

The country has a total population of more than 2 million, of which 1.5 million people live around Lop Nur.

In the north of Lop Nur, there is a large city, which is the largest city in the country of Lop Nur and the capital of the country of Lop Nur, Lop City.

It is a castle with a walled city.

It is worth mentioning that in the 36 countries of the Western Regions, most of the settlements are without city walls.

First, because people live relatively scattered, they need to graze, and because the population is small and the resources are small, the only soil is used to build houses and graze, and there is no extra soil to burn bricks to build city walls.

Moreover, they are also accustomed to being robbed by the armies of various countries when they are fighting, and no matter who is in charge, they are indispensable herdsmen and will not slaughter them.

On this day, the sun was shining, the sky was cloudless, the autumn was high and refreshing, and the breeze blew through Lop Nur, bringing a little warm humidity and coolness, so that the people living around Lop Nur were in a particularly good mood.

At this time, a herdsman in his thirties, with his young son, was lying on the grass by the lake, basking in the sun comfortably, herding cattle and sheep.

The herdsman looked at his herds of cattle and sheep, smiled with satisfaction, and said to his little son,

"Ahsan, when you grow up, Daddy will give you fifty cows and a hundred sheep, and then you go east, enclose a piece of land, and establish your own pasture."

"Okay, yes, Daddy, I'm going to be a rancher too!"

A little boy of seven or eight years old was lying on the ground, looking at the blue sky, looking forward to a bright future.

Suddenly, the little boy said,

"Daddy, do you feel that the ground seems to be shaking?"

Hearing this, the herdsman frowned, and immediately felt the ground under him, and sure enough, he sensed a slight tremor.

"Sure enough, the tremor was getting stronger and stronger, and it should have been an earthquake. Come, Ahsan, and I will drive the cattle and sheep with my father, and these animals will be frightened and run away when there is an earthquake. ”

"Okay Daddy."

The two of them had just stood up, and suddenly saw a black figure rushing towards the east.

Correspondingly, the tremor became more and more intense.

"Daddy, what's that?"

Ahsan stared blankly at the group of tall black figures running in the distance, so nervous that he forgot to breathe.

"That's ...... That's ......"

Daddy looked at the figure that covered the sky and didn't know how to answer.

Suddenly, he thought of a possibility, could it be the army?

Is it cavalry?

When did we Rob have these armies?

Some people died, but not completely......
