This sounds a bit fantasy!
Zhang Zhao learned a big secret from Li Qilang's excited and confusing narrative.
That was when Qiuci was captured by the Tibetans and the Tang Dynasty's power in Anxi collapsed. The descendants of the four towns and the Han monks from Dayun Temple in Shule jointly passed on the treasures, armor and other secrets that had not been taken away by the Tibetans.
Hidden.
The descendants of the four towns and the disciples of the monks and monks each have a part of the hidden map.
This treasure was prepared for the Tang Dynasty in the Central Plains to return to the Western Regions in the future, because they all firmly believed that the Tang Dynasty would definitely come back. Even if the Tang Dynasty was gone, the new dynasty in the Central Plains would definitely send troops to regain the Western Regions.

However, since Li Qilang is not a descendant of the upper-level officials of the four towns, and has no relationship with the Han monk commander in Shule, he only knows that there is such a treasure, not where it is?
In fact, according to Li Qilang, the elder of the Li family who is responsible for keeping the treasure map does not know what is in this treasure.
Because since the descendants of the Four Towns and the monk commander of Dayun Temple buried the treasure, it has never been opened again. For hundreds of years, everyone knows that there is a treasure, but they don’t know what is inside? How many are there?
"Three years ago, a traitor appeared among us. Lu Erlang believed in the cannibal Tianfang Cult for the sake of power. He also told Bugla Khan Saktu the secrets of the four town treasure houses.
In order to obtain the treasure, this thief Hu secretly instructed the divine warriors from Hezhong and Dashi to burn down Dayun Temple, and also arrested Master Daozhen, Brother Huixing and dozens of other monks."
When talking about Lu Erlang, Li Qilang gritted his teeth.
"So it's not that I didn't tell Erlang Jun about the news about the descendants of the Four Towns, but that after Dayun Temple was destroyed, the descendants of the Four Towns who were scattered all over the place gradually lost contact in order to protect themselves. What Pu can now know about the Four Towns
The descendants are the dozen or so people in Shule City!"
Li Qilang looked like he had not helped Zhang Zhao, but Zhang Zhao was already very excited.
Is there any treasure? How much is it? He doesn’t really care!
Because for Zhang Zhao, no matter how many treasures there are in the so-called loyalty treasury of the four towns, can they be greater than the treasures of the Khan Court of Bugla Khan Saktu in Shule City? How many treasures are needed to capture Shule City?
For him, the most precious thing is precisely the population, those Tang children and Dingkou who still remember the Tang Dynasty.
According to Li Qilang, the Li family alone and the Guo, Yang, Lu and other families that have been out of contact had thousands of men ten years ago. Although the exact number has not been counted, at least the entire population is not
It will be less than 20,000 to 30,000.
You must know that currently in the Guiyi Army, not counting the Chinese Sogdians and Tuyuhun people, the entire Guasha Tanger clan only has a population of less than 100,000.
The 20,000 to 30,000 people in Anxi are extremely important to the Guiyi Army and even Hexi as a whole, which suffers from a lack of core ethnic groups.
Money is nothing! No one, everything is in vain!
Liu Zaisheng squatted next to Zhang Zhao. Zhang Zhao looked at him as if he wished he could rush forward and dig.
This is already the ninth day that the flood outside Shule City has washed over the city. Today, the water has just receded and the ground is still muddy. Li Shengtian has already begun to urge the army to attack the city.
At this moment, Zhang Zhao and Liu Zaisheng, who were squatting far away from the north of the city, could hear bursts of fighting.
As Li Shengtian's trusted bodyguard, Liu Zaisheng's loyalty is unquestionable. Although the Liu family is Han, they are no longer Han Chinese in the Tang Dynasty.
Because the fifth generation ancestor of Liu Zaisheng was a veteran who participated in the battle to restore the Khotan Kingdom.
The ancestors of their Liu family had already lost their inheritance when Khotan was captured by Tibet.
My family was beaten into slavery during the Tubo rule. I only remember that my ancestor was Tang Er, an official named Liu, but what was his specific name? Where did he come from in the Tang Dynasty? I no longer remember.
The fact that their family was able to get rid of their status as slaves and become as wealthy as they are today is entirely from Khotan, from the Yuchi family, and they got it from Khotan after the Yuchi family returned to Khotan.
This is also the reason why Li Shengtian was quite relieved to let him team up with Zhang Zhao. After Zhang Zhao learned about the origin of Liu Zaisheng's family, he wisely gave up the idea of recruiting.
For example, what Zhang Zhao is looking for now are overseas Chinese who have the same mindset as him and are willing to go back and rebuild their homeland.
As for the Liu Zaisheng family, they are the Chinese people of later generations who have completely integrated into the local area and can barely speak Chinese. They will not go with Zhang Zhao, and Zhang Zhao will not be stupid enough to recruit them.
"My lord! We can't dig in front. This city must have been rebuilt by masters from the Central Plains. There are huge stones buried under the city wall, and we can't dig through it at all!"
Shi Chongmin was helped to stand in front of Zhang Zhao. No one could stand still, so he let out a miserable groan and started crying.
These days, people in Jinjin City have finally seen Zhang Zhao’s methods. More than 700 people are divided into ten teams and they are digging day and night. Anyone who doesn’t work hard will suffer as much as they want.
Under such high pressure, they finally carefully dug not far from the city wall, but they were stuck by a huge boulder.
When Liu Zaisheng heard Shi Chongmin's cry, he immediately became furious!
He stood up suddenly and was about to get angry, but when he saw that Zhang Zhao hadn't spoken yet, the curse words that spewed to his lips were forced back.
"Erlangjun, I went to see it. Captain Shi is not lying. There are indeed huge rocks blocking the way, not only in the A-shaped cave, but also in the B-shaped cave!"
Wu Yuan'er came over. Those who followed Zhang Zhao from Shazhou still used to call him Erlang Jun.
Zhang Zhao took a deep breath and tried to calm down a little. He must think of a way, because there was not much time left, and it would definitely be too late to dig another hole. There was no news about Fan Shun, Li Qilang's senior brother Huitong, and others in the city.
Unfortunately, these boulders were dug up.
"Can you tell how thick the boulder is? Is it one piece, or many? How many feet is it from the city wall?"
Zhang Zhao thought for a while and asked, if the stone is not thick, just put all the gunpowder in it and detonate it. Anyway, it is not far from the city wall. As long as it can open a small opening, it will be fine, but it will cost a lot of lives.

Wu Yuan'er recalled for a moment before answering, "I can't tell how thick the boulder is. I just measured it with a hemp rope. It should be two feet and five feet (about eight meters) away from the city wall.
The boulder looks like a polished strip of stone, not one piece, but many pieces stacked on top of each other. However, the gaps in the middle are too small for our people to get through, unless they are children."
Where did the pervert come from to do this? Zhang Zhao’s head is so big, but judging from the technique, it’s not certain that it was actually built with the help of the Tang Dynasty during its prosperity.
Because this method of laying foundations with stones to prevent the enemy from digging tunnels is a characteristic of the Central Plains.
"Wu Erlang, are you sure the child can get through?" Li Qilang, who had been listening nearby, suddenly asked.
Wu Yuan'er nodded, "I'm sure, I've tried it on even the thinnest miner, and he can get in a little bit. If he's a child, he can definitely do it."
"That's good! Mr. Erlang, please ask your servant to go to the back camp to pick a few people!" Li Qilang said excitedly to Zhang Zhao.
The so-called back camp is the place where the cannon fodder, old and young, in Shule City who Zhang Zhao rescued stayed.
They were all residents of Shule City. Now the war was in chaos and they had nowhere to go. Looking at Zhang Zhao, he seemed to be a good man, so many of them stayed in his back camp and did not leave.
Here in Zhang Zhao, although they don't have enough to eat, they won't starve to death. The most important thing is that they are safe and secure.
"You mean, pick some children from the rear camp to get in and place the fire mines?" Zhang Zhao was right! All of his subordinates were adults, but among the cannon fodder in the rear camp, there were quite a few children.
But then, Zhang Zhao shook his head with some worry. In a 100-meter tunnel, a child had to crawl into a tiny stone gap, and then put a pack of ten kilograms of gunpowder in place. The lack of oxygen and light increased the risk of
When it comes to fear and fear, at what age can children complete tasks competently?
Li Qilang saw Zhang Zhao's concerns, and he smiled confidently, "Erlangjun thinks that someone who can find a way out of the city at this last moment will be a good person?
They are just some unlucky city foxes and mice who are like servants. They received the great kindness of Erlangjun in saving their lives, so they just repaid him with death!"
