Ye Hua kept running between Chang'an and Lanzhou. Every time he returned to Chang'an, he would take some time off and hold Ye San to look around.

The little guy grew up very fast and had learned to call him "Baba". Ye Hua hoped to leave a deeper mark in his son's heart, because the father and son were destined to be separated for a long time, perhaps one or two years, perhaps three or five years, or even longer.

Chai Rong's determination to use troops in the Western Regions is not to question, it is destined to be a long battle.

Walking in Chang'an City, you can feel it clearly.

In order to recover Youzhou, many military workshops were established in Yecheng, Damingfu and other places, the Yongji Canal was built, and after conquering Hedong, a huge iron smelting factory was established in Jinyang. In order to recover Jiangnan, a shipyard and loom factory were built... To put it bluntly, the economic layout of the Great Zhou was carried out with the war.

Except for Kaifeng, it basically goes wherever it goes.

After Chai Rong arrived in Chang'an, the huge project began.

In addition to the Shu Road that was eye-catching, Chai Rong also built a horse farm that could accommodate 300,000 war horses and established an ordnance workshop. The most important thing was that he placed the first special gun workshop in the Great Zhou Dynasty in Chang'an.

After nearly ten years of accumulation, the amount of gold and silver in the Great Zhou Dynasty has been quite considerable. Block transactions have completely used real gold and silver. More than half of the copper coins have been withdrawn from the circulation field and transported to Chang'an one after another, and melted into cannons.

In the past three months, 200 artillery pieces have been produced, and the bed crossbows that were originally equipped have been gradually replaced. Artillery has become the most enviable group of troops in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and many people have squeezed their heads to join.

In addition to artillery, the production of muskets has also been fully launched, with an astonishing capacity of 5,000 units per month.

Just after all these were prepared, all the people rushed to Chang'an one after another.

In addition to Zhao Kuangyin, Han Tong, Zhang Yongde, Yang Ye and others, rising stars including Shi Shouxin, Pan Mei, Cao Bin, Han Lingkun, and Wang Quanbin are also among them.

The powerful generals gathered in great strength, and everyone was ready to go.

Especially Zhao Da, he came to fight several times, so-called brothers in war, father and son soldiers in battle. The second brother, Yutian, and the third brother, Zhao Kuangmei, were there, but he, watching from behind, this elder brother was too failed!

"Why...how are my two brothers? Isn't it good?"

"Well, it's pretty good!" Ye Hua said with a smile: "Your second brother just died a while ago!"

"What?" Zhao Kuangyin jumped up, what a joke, he died?

He slammed the table, "Marty, my second brother is also your apprentice. What's wrong with him? Is he alive or dead?"

Ye Hua gave him a blank look, "What a cry, there may be people in this world who can kill your second brother, but they are not in the Western Regions!" Ye Hua patiently told the story of the Great Food Warrior assassinating Zhao Er for revenge, and also mentioned that in order to force Zhao Er out of the city, they even went to destroy the Kanerjing!

"Beast!"

Zhao Kuangyin was furious. He had done his homework these days and knew very well that the importance of Kanerjing was the source of life for the people of the Western Regions. Even if even bandits and thieves would not destroy Kanerjing, how dare the Great Food Warriors attack Kanerjing? Could it be that they were not raised by their parents in life!

Are you not afraid of God’s reprimand?

"Of course they are not afraid!"

Ye Hua said: "Most of these great samurai warriors are herders on the Caucasus Mountains and the Black Sea coast. They have been captured by slave traders since childhood. After being sanitized, they specialize in killing various skills. Some people even cut off their tongues and can't even speak. They are just killing machines!"

Zhao Kuangyin was frightened when he heard this, "My God, how dare the cannibals do this? He, they are too cruel!"

Ye Hua said: "This is the enemy we are facing. You must tell the brothers below that going to the Western Regions to fight is absolutely different from the past. We must prepare everyone mentally. The cruelty of war will exceed our imagination!"

"clear!"

Zhao Kuangyin nodded vigorously, and he was also scared. No matter how good his martial arts were, he was afraid of kitchen knives. No matter how powerful a normal person was, it would be terrible if the other party was determined to die and die together.

All soldiers must be told to make the worst plan!

...

Just as the Great Zhou was actively preparing for war and was about to enter the Western Regions, the Guiyi army faced the test of life and death in Shazhou. The 50,000 Uighur army conquered the city continuously, and Shazhou was already shaking.

The current governor of Guiyi Army is Cao Yuanzhong, who is the fourth governor of Guiyi Army of Cao. He has been sitting in this position for more than ten years.

In order to protect the Guiyi Army, he tried his best to marry Khotan, marry the Uighurs in Ganzhou, and the Uighurs in Xizhou, and make friends with Dangxiang.

He is like a superb dancer, cleverly maintaining balance among a pile of plum blossom stakes, and his ability to dance at the tip of a knife is unparalleled!

But he, the dancer, met a real warrior at this moment!

The Uighur army attacked the city as if they were desperate. The Guiyi army suffered a lot of losses. There were about 3,000 injured people alone, which filled the city's clinics, and even the streets were covered with wounded soldiers.

Many injured people, without medicine, without food or water, lie next to the ditches full of sewage, wailing in pain, and some people's wounds have become suppurated, maggots crawl onto their bodies, and death will come at any time...

The civil and military officials of Shazhou, especially those from the Cao family, got together and looked sad and discussed for days.

"The Uighurs are also in-laws. What are they trying so hard to do?" An old man from the Cao family asked angrily, "Did our daughter marry a ungrateful wolf?"

Cao Yuanzhong shook his head helplessly, "Uncle, this time the Uighurs are determined. They dispatched a total of 200,000 people, and 150,000 are attacking Yutian!"

"Ah!" The old man was so scared that he landed the teacup in his hand on the ground and smashed it to pieces.

"Well, so, Yutian can't help us?"

Cao Yuanzhong shook his head helplessly.

What should I do? Without the assistance of Khotan, how can I fight against the Uighurs who are like wolves and tigers with them?

"By the way, what about the Great Zhou, the reinforcements of the Great Zhou?"

Cao Yuanzhong still shook his head helplessly, "Now the Uighurs have cut off all the roads, and the messengers we sent were blocked back, and we can't understand the situation at all."

Even worse!

I think the Great Zhou was thousands of miles away. The last time I sent a thousand people to Khotan, I had already put a lot of effort into it. I am afraid that I can't send many people now?

If there are fewer people, it is useless and cannot compete with the Uighurs who are like wolves and tigers.

By the way, there is Tubo, what about Tubo?

Can you use Tubo soldiers to deal with the Uighurs?

Cao Yuanzhong smiled sadly, "Tubo has indeed sent troops. More than 10,000 people are thirty miles south of Shazhou, and they are not sent. It seems that they want to wait for the Uighurs to break Shazhou and take the opportunity to capture Guazhou and get the bargain!"

"ah!"

Even Tubo has to take action. Is this a desperate situation?

While discussing, someone suddenly heard an urgent report, saying that a team of Uighur soldiers had climbed to the top of the city. Shazhou people were fighting hard, but they were unable to stop them and retreated step by step!

"It's over!"

Everyone in this room had the same thoughts.

Shazhou can no longer be preserved!

Cao Yuanzhong said helplessly: "At this point, we can only make the worst plan. Shazhou city is inevitably destroyed. Those treasures cannot be destroyed by the Uighurs!"

These Cao family members ran out in a panic, and they told the temples in the city to hide Buddhist scriptures underground. The Cao family themselves believed in Buddhism, and Cao Yuanzhong's nephew Cao Yangong was one of the best. There were thousands of volumes of Buddhist scriptures stored in his mansion, all of which were extremely precious.

He ran home in a panic and told his servants to hid the Buddhist scriptures in the dug tunnel.

While working, a woman walked over quickly.

This person is Cao Yangong's wife, Murong. Murong's mother is Li Shengtian's eldest daughter. Her marriage to Cao Yangong was a political marriage.

The couple’s personalities are different, and they used to be harmonious, but at this moment, Murong broke out!

"Master! What are you doing?" She raised her eyebrows and scolded her loudly!

Cao Yangong said helplessly: "Madam, the Uighur soldiers are about to come in, I must make plans early!"

"What else are you planning?" the lady cursed, "Are you still a man?"

"What are you talking about?" Cao Yangong angrily.

Murong sneered, "If you are a man, just carry a knife and go out to fight to the death! My grandfather has fought for the rest of his life and has never given up. My uncle and his wife are still fighting to the death when facing an army of 150,000. There are only 50,000 people outside the city, but you are thinking all day long how to save those Buddhist scriptures! Now that the disaster is coming, which Buddha has come to the world and help you retreat to the enemy?"

Facing the sudden outbreak of his wife, Cao Yangong was stopped by questioning, and he was dumbfounded and speechless!

The lady stomped her feet hard, "You are willing to die on your knees, but I won't stop you! I have the blood of the Li family in my body. Even if I die, I will die on my feet!"

"Walk!"

Murong waved his hand and greeted twenty personal maids. These women's soldiers rushed out with swords and guns in their hands, and rushed straight to the city gate.

Seeing that the wife had left, the servants were stunned.

"Master, what should I do?"

Cao Yangong was stunned for a while and said helplessly: "Hair is long and short, so don't worry about her. You can hide the scriptures with me. This is the most important thing, especially the relics and blood scriptures, which cannot be put into the hands of the Uighurs..."

He was thinking about it all, but when he looked up, many servants in the mansion had already picked up weapons and followed his wife and killed them.

They walked along the way, and the people continued to join them. These people held shovels, picks and wooden sticks, and the simplest weapons, gradually gathered into a long dragon.

The soldiers on the city were killed and retreated continuously. Murong rushed forward first. She had been skilled in archery and horses since she was a child. There was an Uighur soldier raising a knife to chop people. The lancet in her hand came from bottom to top, like a smart poisonous snake, piercing into her throat. The other party suffered pain, threw the knife and grabbed the knife on her neck with his hand.

Murong bit his silver teeth and twisted the hilt hard. The blood vessels were torn off, and blood squirted wildly. His bear-like body fell straight down.

"Madam, majestic! Everyone rushed forward!"
Chapter completed!
