It is much darker in the Western Regions than in the Central Plains.

The sky is magnificent, and the red clouds are coming like tides. The towering Kunlun Mountains in the distance can clearly reflect the outline of their eyes. Gongsun Zhi stood on the high platform behind the King's Hall and could look at all. The entire Pandai City also became lifeless in front of more than 100,000 troops outside the city. The commerce that arrived at Shule from outside the Palacio Mountains in the past was heard an unpleasant voice from a camel on this day.

In the royal hall behind him, a huge wool-woven carpet was spread out. Several Western women stomped barefoot and twisted their waists hard. Only a pair of eyes were revealed on their cover-up faces, glancing charmingly at the Han people on both sides.

"...Fifteen pairs of ivory, three white jade pots and jars, one pair of Sassanthemum Persian chain mail, one iron sword, two pairs of Daqin rhinoceros horn cups, glass cups, luminous walls, bright moon beads...Three Dayuan Liang horses, fifteen cans of fine wine..."

Timan held a roll of sheepskin, his hands were trembling slightly, and he read the gift he presented behind Gongsun Zhi, and there were twenty boxes of gold and silver strange objects next to him. In a stuttering voice, dense beads of sweat were covered with their faces. Whenever they stopped, they glanced at the motionless one on the other side, looking at the Grand Governor of Shangbang who was outside, and every time he read the name of a rare object, his face twitched.

Of course, there would be no such little wealth for ten years, but the caravans that went to Dayuan or returned to pass through the Pamir Mountains only three months a year, and the treasures they collected were accumulated bit by bit in these ten years. However, this time, it was almost half ruined.

However, he also knew in his heart that if the Han people didn't come, they would not be able to survive under the attack of Suliyapoxi. It would be appropriate to share some wealth with the other party. Moreover, the other party's huge army stood outside the city, and there were also thousands of people in the city. If this Han governor was unhappy, he might follow in Suliyapoxi's footsteps.

On the other side of the windowsill, Gongsun Zhi suddenly raised his hand and stopped his words. He turned his face slightly, his cold eyes slashed to the corners of his eyes, and looked at the trembling and trembling figure.

"You just mentioned a country, which is also outside the Pamir Mountains?"

Timan quickly bowed down: "What the governor is talking about Sassania? I don't know... where it is. These things are occasionally brought by caravans traveling between the two sides every year."

As he said that, he quickly waved his hand to ask the guards below to lift a wooden box and take out a set of chain mail and an iron sword. The eyes of the generals in the hall moved away from the dancer and turned to this side. A pair of armor that was different from the Central Plains and even the Western Regions aroused their interest. Someone got up and walked in and looked carefully, reached out to touch the metal made of thin iron wire. After watching for a moment, he turned his head and asked Shi Man: "It's not much different from our chain armor. Is this something difficult to get, right?"

"I heard from the merchant that it was taken down by the dead. It would be difficult to buy it from Sassanthesian Persia."

"That's a pity." Zhang Ren also came over there and touched the chain mail directly, with a heavy voice: "If you can get more, you can put it on the soldiers under your command. You won't be so worried about the arrows when you charge into battle."

Most of the equipment like this is from the capital, and only a few troops on the border will be equipped. Now that the states are in chaos, the direct descendants of the princes will have such good things. He couldn't help but touch them a few more times and looked at Gongsun Zhi on the opposite side: "Governor, why not fight the Sassanians together."

"I heard that there are many good horses in Dayuan, and I just miss a thousand-mile horse." Sun Ce laughed, and then raised his hand at Gongsun Zhi: "Just as General Zhang suggested, since we are going to fight the Qin Dynasty, it would be better to capture some troops from other countries along the way, collect their armor and weapons, and then let the craftsmen in the army change one or two, so that they can be used by our great Han soldiers, wouldn't it be right?"

"Of course, I have that intention, too."

Gongsun Zhi waved his hand and asked someone to put the set of chain mail back, and then said: "A few years ago, my generals fought with the people of the Qin Dynasty for the first time. They suffered a great loss on this. Their armor was heavy and equipped with thick shields. Most of our Han Dynasty soldiers and generals were leather armor. The weak points exposed by infantry were more than those covered by armor. Attacking on the battlefield was a loss. What you mean was exactly what I thought..."

He looked at the table in the hall and looked at someone: "What do you think Zilong?"

Zhao Yun, who was sitting there, was wearing silver armor and white robe, similar to Ma Chao on the opposite side. Both of them also used guns. They often had martial arts with the latter in their spare time and rarely came out to walk around. When they heard Gongsun Zhi’s question, the corners of their mouths were curled and they laughed fiercely: "The soldiers under the generals are complaining that there are few horses in the shortage of armor."

There are also many echoing statements between the seats.

"Well, since all the generals have such ideas, it's best." Gongsun Zhi looked serious and returned to the throne with his hands. When someone poured wine, he waved his hand and took off his singing and dancing. "I'll have a good rest tonight. I'll pull the camp westward at the fifth day of tomorrow toward the Pamir Mountains. I won't be delayed here. The rear camp will be slow for two days, and walk back with the teams of Yutian, Shache and Shule. The front army will follow me first. The flock of sheep in the west is still waiting for us to hunt."

"yes!"

After the matter was arranged, everyone walked out of Shule King's Hall in groups of three to one, Timan carefully bypassed the giant man and came to the side: "Governor, how about arranging one or two women to the Governor to bed? My concubine's appearance and figure are the best choice..."

"I don't know how to do this."

"Then..." Timan frowned and said flatteringly: "Then find a few handsome boys for the governor..."

Gongsun Zhi turned his head and raised his arm violently.

Smack

Before he finished speaking, his five fingers were clearly printed on his face. His body stumbled back and hit Dian Wei's chest. His flattering smile froze. He covered his burning side face and looked at the Grand Governor of Shangbang who had stood up and left. He asked carefully to the giant man next to him: "This general, what did I say wrong?"

"My lord is so murderous in his dream. If you find someone to serve him, you will die." Dian Wei put his two halberds behind his back, and put his arms around his shoulders, his voice was heavy: "But I can refuse anyone, and I almost killed my bird for several months."

"Natiman arranged a woman for the general...the general"

Dian Wei stretched out his palm: "How can one be enough? I want five!" He turned around and looked at Li Ke: "How many do you want? Play casually."

"I'm not interested, no one is sleeping comfortably, let's talk about it." Li Ke glanced at Dian Wei with contempt, and followed the leader in front with a mace.

"This kid hasn't gotten good at it for so many years?" Dian Wei murmured, and ignored him, pulled Timan and picked up women in the harem.

The night gradually darkened. Gongsun Zhi removed his armor and placed his scimitar beside him, then lay down and looked quietly outside the open window. The sky was filled with stars, which belonged to the sky that only this era had. For thirteen years, he had been desperately seeking life, and now he is sitting in the lead. Although he is free occasionally, he has never stopped from beginning to end. Once he stops to rest, he faces a disintegration.

This is an era when people cannibalize people. When you come here, you cannot treat it with the intention of traveling or vacationing.

Just like the Western Regions, when he learned that the Pamirs were covered with heavy snow in January, February, and heavy rains from April to June, and cold from October to December, and the weather was even cold and unhappy. Only July, August and September 10th were the best time periods, so he was so anxious to let the army seize the time to rush.

After all, more than 100,000 people marched were not just casually. As the highest commander of this expeditionary force, we must ensure that the continuous team can be maintained in a continuous manner. Military rations, weapons and armor can be continuously supplied... He must supervise all aspects of things, and morale is also focused on. For men, long-term marching and combat pressure should be vented, fighting, and even some traitors and lusts, and even some erotic incidents can only turn a blind eye. If occasionally excessive, punishment will be made.

I thought about it for a long time before I gradually fell asleep.

On the same night, four figures in long white robes covering half of their faces walked through the desert, and saw long strings of torches running through the night. After the horse thief's barbaric cry went away, they came out from behind the rocks that they were hiding, and with the light of the stars and moons, they could barely see the city marked with the name on the sheepskin map. Soon after, the woman in the lead stood up and pointed to the southwest direction.

When they were dawn, they set out on the road to the west again. However, in the direction parallel to them, a big white wolf left a long list of footprints on the gravel with an equally white little beast. With the intuition of the beast..., they met four women unexpectedly and walked with them.

In the morning, a golden light shone in from the window frame. Gongsun Zhi had not slept for too long. The sound of the trumpet of the military camp outside the city had already sounded. Li Ke walked in with several maids and put on his armor and cloak. Dian Wei moved away the bodies of several sleeping women in the rooms, yawned and brought a double halberd to gather, and went out of the city together.

King Shule Timan and some guards had already been waiting outside the city. A large amount of food was loading Han chariots in his generals. The temporary military camps around were restless. Countless figures appeared in the field like ants, and a large number of cavalry had begun to move first.

Seeing a team coming out of the city, Timan quickly got out of the horse and greeted him. When he thought that there would be five thousand soldiers coming soon, he felt so painful, but he didn't dare to show it in front of the governor of Shangbang. As he was about to leave, the three armies still had a lot to do. Gongsun Zhi came over and nodded to him, commending him, "Good done." Without talking much, he rode his horse towards the military camp.

"The five women you arranged yesterday are good, so I can keep them for me."

On weekdays, this fighter has never easily praised people. Maybe he promised that he would have made many arrangements to those women at this time, which made him very satisfied. Then he told the other party to treat those women well, "I will come back after the Western Expedition, and I will take them back to the north at that time... Your concubine is also with you. Well, don't worry, Lao Dian will treat her well."

He turned around and said in a low voice, and promised that Timan would be able to be looked at by his lord in the future. Timan thought about it, but he could only nod at the giant man who was eating and picking.

In the distance, Lu Bu and Lu Lingqi had already gotten on their horses and took the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry out of the camp. The girl turned around and made a face to Gao Shun, who was still loading the iron armored shield behind him, "Uncle, hurry up, I won't wait for you!" The latter looked over in the voice, and smiled rarely, and then shouted: "Start up the loading!"

Lu Lingqi looked at the busy camp, raised her eyes and swept across the horizon to the west. It was the outline of the towering Kunlun Mountains. She took a deep breath and rushed to keep up with her father in front. The long red feathers shook gently in the morning breeze. More camps, a large number of soldiers were on horseback, baggage, and armor were carried on camels, or shaft chariots. Pan Feng held the ox horn helmet and waved his arms, greeting the busy soldiers: "Sons, you have crossed the mountain."

The noisy sound came into the tent. Zhao Yun was wearing armor with his strong upper body, lifted the gentian curtain and walked out. The skylight outside stabbed, narrowed his eyes, crossed the Pamir Mountains, and it was a new world. In another military camp next to him, Ma Chao reminded a thin guard beside him, and then turned over to the horse. The guard snorted, walked past the crowd, passed the wooden railing, and looked at the White Wolf Cavalry Camp opposite through the gap. The figure of the white horse and silver spear flashed through the field of vision, and the man's lips curled slightly.

In the world, more than 100,000 people gathered into a huge ocean. The movements and stillness under their feet shook the morning like thunder. Countless sword lights, flags, and countless figures, looking over the high places, Gongsun Zhi swept over the endless army, and the generals of each army pulled out their scimitars and raised them.

"Go to the Expedition"

The roar of the wolf king swept into the sky.

White clouds are like floes.
