The 800 sons of the Gong clan sent by the Great Cadre went to the Western Regions to join Wang Zhuo. At the same time, he also brought Wang Ke's edict.

Let him gain a foothold in the Western Regions, and then establish a base to make the Western Regions the backyard of the royal family.

When he saw the edict, Wang Zhuo had a headache, and after staying in the Western Regions for a few years, he clearly knew how difficult it was to establish a base in the Western Regions.

The land is even more barren, arid, and the cultivated area is limited, and it is difficult to stand on the ground with these thousands of people alone, and they have to help the locals, but they can't trust the locals.

But after seeing what Wang Ke ordered to be sent, Wang Zhuo immediately understood what to do.

After Wang Zhuo settled the families of the 800 Gong clans, he immediately led 200 Yu Lin Wei and the children of the 800 Gong clans to launch an attack on the Zahu tribe and the indigenous tribes within a radius of 100 miles around the place.

A thousand Daqian soldiers equipped to the teeth can completely launch a war to destroy the country here, and these Zahu tribes and indigenous tribes are not opponents at all.

In just a few days, Wang Zhuo swept away several tribes here, and then returned to the oasis with more than 20,000 captives.

The oasis occupied by Wang Zhuo is not large, with limited water sources and little arable land, and can only feed three or four thousand people at most. For example, those large oases have long been occupied by relatively powerful tribes or natives.

After seeing Wang Zhuo capture so many slaves, everyone was surprised, and they persuaded one after another: "Childe, we occupy the oasis is not enough to support tens of thousands of people, and besides, we only have a few thousand, so I am afraid that it will be a blessing or a curse for so many foreign captives to stay!" ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, Your Majesty sent the ancestor to give me an artifact, and this time I have my own plans!" Wang Zhuoshen said mysteriously.

When everyone heard that the ancestor artifact had been given, their expressions were different for a while. Many children of the Gong clan have naturally heard of the ancestor and have become gods, but after all, the relationship between the Gong clan and the clan has at least five suits, and many people are a little skeptical about this, but at the same time, they have some expectations in their hearts.

After Wang Zhuo returned to the oasis, he immediately ordered people to lead more than 20,000 barbarian captives to the Gobi Desert, 30 miles away, and let these captives build a high platform here to worship the heavens and ancestors.

These barbarians were also worried originally, they had lived in the Western Regions for a long time, and they naturally knew that this oasis could not carry so many people, and they were worried that these fierce gods would kill them.

Fortunately, these people were soon taken to a Gobi place, and food was distributed first, and after seeing the food, these people settled down, after all, if they wanted to kill them, they would definitely not be given any more food.

After these people had eaten, they were organized to build a high platform on the Gobi Desert as required.

Although these people wondered why they wanted to build a high platform on the Gobi Desert, under the supervision of Yu Linwei, they quickly began to work.

The Gobi Desert was full of rubble, but there was a lack of soil, so Wang Zhuo instructed the captives to build a high platform with stones, and then glue it with mud, and it took half a month to finally build a three-zhang high platform.

The platform is very rudimentary, and the mud and gravel are bonded very roughly. Several large flags were erected on it, and the captives were all standing under the high platform, and a thousand forest guards were guarding them.

More than 20,000 captives looked at the high platform, not knowing what those people wanted to do.

Wang Zhuo walked up to the stone platform step by step, and behind him were several other clan disciples, these people went up to the high platform, and put the three animals and six animals as sacrifices on the altar one by one, the most conspicuous of which was a bronze tripod, which was a sacrificial ritual vessel that Wang Ke specially took out from the Taimiao.

Sacrifice to the ancestors, not at will, this tripod is a must.

When everything was ready, everyone was full of solemnity, and the musician next to them began to play the music.

The solemn music sounded, followed by the sound of drums.

"King Wen is above, and the descendants of Wang Zhuo are in the Western Regions to pay tribute to King Hao Tianwen."

Wang Zhuo lit incense, and tens of thousands of prisoners below were also forced to kneel, and tens of thousands of people on the ground knelt down, and the scene was extremely spectacular.

Wang Zhuo crossed his hands and held them high above his head

"King Wen is above, Zhuxia ten thousand years!"

"The disciple was ordered by the ancestors to set up a separate sect with the Western Regions, affirm the mercy of the ancestors, and give us a heaven and earth to settle down!"

As he spoke, he threw a roll of bamboo slips in his hand into the ding, and the golden light on the altar was shining in the next second, and the many Hu natives below were shocked when they saw the dazzling golden light.

It was also the first time for these people to see such a miracle, and their hearts were greatly shaken.

Not to mention these Hu people and natives, even those children of the public family have a dumbfounded expression, after all, this kind of miracle has only been seen in the family history books, and many people doubt its authenticity, but now after witnessing it with their own eyes, they are immediately convinced.

Immediately afterwards, he saw a golden light that penetrated the sky, and the golden gem in Wang Zhuo's hand flew up in an instant at this moment.

Immediately after that, there was a thunderclap in the sky, and the next second, the originally clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds.

A golden light fell from the sky, and then fell on the Gobi Desert not far in front of the altar, and the next second I saw a clear spring water suddenly gushing out of the ground. But in the blink of an eye, they converged into a puddle on the ground.

The Hu barbarians, who were kneeling on the ground, were stunned when they saw such a miracle. They shouted loudly in Hu language and kept kneeling down, all of them like crazy.

At this moment, another explosion thunder sounded in the sky, and the Hu people on the ground kowtowed faster, and their expressions became more and more reverent.

Then the wind howled, bringing up a cloud of water vapor, and then heavy rain fell from the sky, and the whole Gobi Desert began to rain heavily.

Those Hu people and natives even spontaneously began to sing and dance, and carnivaled.

The Gobi Desert was watered by heavy rain, and the seeds in the crevices of the rocks were soaked in the rain and began to take root and sprout. Heavy rain seeped into the ground and soon began to converge into streams, which then poured into the new puddle, which slowly expanded at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Everyone looked at the waterhole excitedly, in this part of the Western Regions, water sources are very precious. Where there is water, life can be nurtured, and human beings can survive.

The appearance or disappearance of an oasis represents the rise or fall of a nation.

In the previous life, the Loulan Kingdom of the Western Regions is the most significant example, during the prosperous period, the water and grass were abundant, and the Loulan Kingdom was one of the largest countries in the Western Regions, and later the Loulan Oasis dried up and the trees died, and the original country with a population of tens of thousands declined in a blink of an eye.

As one of the most important cities on the Silk Road, this magnificent city was finally submerged in the rolling yellow sand.

——

"The beautiful city in front of me is known as the heavenly city of the Pearl of the Western Regions. Legend has it that this city was blessed by King Wen and descended a spiritual spring, and such a miraculous city appeared on a Gobi desert. The city's springs have never dried up for 2,000 years, and it is said that drinking the water regularly will prolong your life. ”

Since the establishment of this city, it has been the political, cultural, economic, and religious center of the Western Regions for two thousand years. It is also a symbol of peaceful coexistence and unity between Zhuxia and the people of all ethnic groups in the Western Regions.
