The army started again the next day and continued to advance towards the country of Loulan.

Two days later, they entered the territory of Loulan.

Most of the country of Loulan is a desert area, which cannot be cultivated and cannot survive, and its territory is small and barren compared to the country of Luobu, the country of Hami.

Only in the vicinity of the capital, there are some water sources and cultivated land, which is suitable for human survival.

Because of the land, Loulan has always been very poor and has a small population, after all, there is so much food grown every year, and a large population will only make more people hungry.

It's a pity that the already sparsely populated Loulan Kingdom, under a faint move from the monarch, buried 150,000 young and strong people, which made the available people in the Loulan Kingdom drop sharply.

If it weren't for the fact that Talmu came back with 50,000 people, there would be no one available in Loulan.

The army marched for more than half a month, and finally came up to the oasis area of Loulan Kingdom, where many people of Loulan Country lived.

Once inside these territories, the army unleashed a bloody massacre on everyone it came across.

Among them, the most active is the Zhenbei Army.

The Yuejia army and the auxiliaries marched towards Loulan City in an orderly manner, while the Zhenbei army, relying on their own speed, scattered in all directions and slaughtered all the villages they passed.

Kill all the Loulan people you meet.

Blood for blood, tooth for tooth!

All the things that the Loulan people did to the people of Dachuan were returned.

Two days later, when the army arrived outside the capital of Loulan Kingdom, it was already evening.

Looking at the temporarily reinforced city wall in front of him and the soldiers who were waiting for him, Zhao Long directly ordered to set up camp and attack the city tomorrow.

Zhao Long and Xie Xing strolled outside Loulan City and looked at the city.

Zhao Long smiled,

"The country of Loulan is on guard, it seems that the news of our elimination of the Luobu country and the Hami country has reached here.

Look at this city defense, it's done very well, rolling wood and stones, fire oil bows and arrows, all ready.

If our army is attacked, it will definitely pay a heavy price.

This Talmu is also a bit capable, he didn't surrender, and he plans to fight to the death with our army."

Xie Xing also said,

"Yes, Talmu is a man with a lot of tricks, a trick, and a ruthless man.

Before, he could fool Ganbul to take 100,000 troops of Hami Country to die, and personally bury more than 100,000 troops to attract our army, just to return to Loulan Country with these 50,000 elites.

In his heart, he has a country.

Now that our army is in the city, how can he not resist and defend his country to the death."

"No, no, no, I don't think so, I think ah, Talmu knows that he will definitely die, and he also knows that if we break the city, we will definitely slaughter all the Loulan people.

After all, what he did to us, he knew best in his heart, and he knew that no matter what we did, we would not let him go, nor would we let go of the Loulan people.

That's why he has to resist stubbornly.

If nothing else, he has already told all the people of Loulan that if our army breaks through the city, the whole country will definitely die, so as to stimulate the fighting spirit and death will of the soldiers.

Even if the country is really ruined, it will bite us hard.

This battle is not easy to fight."

"It doesn't matter, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, there will always be a way to break his city.

This is our last fight, and when it's over, we'll be able to go home."

"Let's go, go back and rest."

Inside Loulan City.

Zhang's house.

This is a mansion that occupies a huge area, not to say that it is magnificent, but it is also considered to have everything, in this small city, to have such a compound, it can be seen that the identity of the owner of the mansion is noble.

It was late in the Western Regions, but the lobby was still slightly dim, and it was already brightly lit and the candlelight was flickering.

The tables and chairs on both sides of the lobby were full of people, including elderly and middle-aged people

Wearing official robes.

And in front of the main seat in the center, there stood a young man who looked like he was twenty-five or sixteen years old.

The young man stood with his hands in his hands, his eyes swept over the crowd majestically, and everyone looked anxiously and earnestly, and kept looking at the young man.

Looking at it, in this room, it is this young man who is in charge.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you know why this official called you here?"

The young man said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, an old man said,

"Master Zhang, none of you here are outsiders, they are all from our Sichuan, if you have anything, just say it directly."

Zhang Xiaoyu nodded and said,

"I really need your help with something."

"Master Zhang, even if you command, we officials from the Central Plains are all single-handedly promoted by you, if it weren't for you, we, talented and learned, would still be hungry slaves.

Your kindness to our reinvention is as heavy as a mountain, as long as you say a word, you will not hesitate to go to the soup and fire."

"Yes, Lord Zhang, these people have rescued and sheltered too many slaves of the Central Plains, so that they will not be bullied and frozen to death in the wilderness.

Everyone wanted to say more, Zhang Xiaoyu waved his hand, interrupted everyone's words, and said directly,

"This official has just received news that Wang Shi has arrived outside Loulan City."

"Huh? What? Master Wang is here?"

"The Heavenly Soldiers have arrived? So fast? This ......."

"How many Heavenly Soldiers are coming? Can you take down Loulan City?"

"I'm looking forward to the day when I can return to my homeland."

"This is a bit of a surprise, Lord Zhang, what do you need us to do, you can tell me."

The officials talked a lot, and Zhang Xiaoyu listened to what they said, and was not in a hurry at all.

When they were all shocked and accepted the news, Zhang Xiaoyu said slowly,

"Ladies and gentlemen, before the official came, you all lived a life that was inferior to pigs and dogs, and after the official came, he first gained the trust of the monarch of Loulan and climbed to the top step by step.

Then, the official made a statement to the monarch and bribed other ministers, which made the monarch relieved and promised to let the Central Plains people also be officials, which greatly improved the status of the Central Plains people in Loulan State.

Now, you are all in high positions, clothed and fed, enjoying glory and wealth.

So, this official dares to ask you, in your hearts, is there still a big river? Do you remember who you are? Can you still see your looks, your hairstyle, your skin color?

Are you still willing to go back to Dachuan and continue to be a flat-headed citizen?"

Zhang Xiaoyu's words made everyone look at each other, and they didn't understand what he meant for a while, and they couldn't figure out what he meant, and everyone couldn't answer.

"Speak!"

Zhang Xiaoyu suddenly shouted.

"I think of my homeland all the time, and I dare not forget it for a moment."

"Xia Guan is thinking about tea and dinner every day, just looking forward to being able to return to his homeland one day."

"The same is true of Xiaguan, every time he dreams back at midnight, he wakes up in a dream, thinking that he has returned to his hometown, but it is just a big dream."
