Chapter 263 Withdrawing Troops from the Western Regions (4000 words in two chapters)

Western Regions, Anxi Protectorate.

The general guard Liu Lin looked solemn, and the bad handsome Feng Hao sitting next to him was also as cold as ice.

It was not the 36 countries in the Western Regions or the Buddhism in the Western Regions that drove them into such a desperate state, but the imperial court, the Great Zhou court.

Not long ago, Feng Hao used the teleportation technique to send a request for help back to Chang'an through the air.

But a day later, he received a reply letter from the imperial court.

The imperial court made it clear that now that Chang'an City was besieged by the northern barbarians, it was impossible to send reinforcements to the Western Regions in a short time.

This is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue.

"Only by ourselves, it is impossible to defend the Protectorate's Mansion."

Although Liu Lin didn't want to admit it, this was the reality and he had to face it sooner or later.

"Perhaps we can try to break through before the situation deteriorates to the worst."

Feng Hao suggested: "It's not a good strategy to stick to it blindly. Planning early can also preserve your strength."

From Feng Hao's point of view, since Liu Lin could make the decision to evacuate the soldiers from the four towns to the Anxi Protectorate, it would not be too difficult to make the decision to evacuate from the Western Regions.

Where there is life, there is hope.

If they withdraw their troops earlier and preserve their strength, they will have a chance to make a comeback.

"No! In this way, we are not deserters!"

Unexpectedly, Liu Lin was furious and refused firmly.

"Even if we die, we will die in the Anxi Protectorate!"

Feng Hao was immediately stunned.

What's happening here?
Not so much, right?

"General Liu, you have to calm down. At this time, it is king to stay strong."

Feng Hao dissuaded: "It is impossible for the imperial court to send reinforcements. At this time, we can only protect ourselves. The enemy is outnumbered, and the imperial court will not blame us even if we withdraw our troops."

Even though he said that, Liu Lin still felt extremely uncomfortable.

"You make me think again..."

Liu Lin kept rubbing his forehead, looking extremely painful.

After a long time, Liu Linfang let out a long sigh and said, "Should we wait and see?"

"What are you waiting for... There is no future in staying here."

Feng Hao is not a pedantic and old-fashioned person, so he knows very well that he must leave Anxi if he wants to survive.

"Ok."

In the end Liu Lin was persuaded.

After thinking about it, there is really no future in staying in Anxi.

"I ordered the withdrawal, but not too obvious, because it would attract attention."

Liu Lin paused and said, "It's best to divide them into batches, some go first, and some come last."

Feng Hao thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

An army of [-] is not a small number. If they evacuated together, the movement would be too great.

"Okay, you can arrange the specific matters. As for the practitioners, leave it to me. I will do my best to block our breath and prevent practitioners from tracking."

Bad people are proficient in tracking, so they are naturally good at anti-tracking.

But the Western Regions are too big, even if they leave the Protectorate's Mansion, they will have to walk for several months or even more than half a year before they can leave.

During this process, they may encounter danger at any time.

Maybe only a part of them can survive, maybe many of them will be buried in the yellow sand.

But they must go all the way east without hesitation.

Because there is the direction of Chang'an, because there is the direction of home.

Their relatives are waiting for them at home, and if they want to go back alive to reunite with them, no matter how hard it is or how tired they are, no matter how much blood they shed!
go home!They are going home!

...

...

Dongyue Jiange was finally dispatched.

Wei Wuji endured it for so long, and finally couldn't bear it anymore.

In his opinion, the multi-line battle in Dazhou has been completely dragged down.

Whether it is the northern barbarians, the southern barbarians or the Western Regions Buddhism, they are all strong opponents. There may be a chance of winning against Da Zhou alone, but one against three at the same time, Da Zhou is not worthy.

At this time, Dongyue Jiange can reap the most benefits by entering the arena.

Wei Wuji was full of confidence, thinking that this battle could raise the status of Dongyue Kingdom in one fell swoop.

Wei Wuji has no intention of being an emperor, he thinks being an emperor is boring and meaningless.

But he liked killing the emperor very much.

Especially the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty had a deep blood feud with him, and he once vowed not to avenge this feud and not to be a human being.

This time is a perfect opportunity.

So Wei Wuji took out all the natal swords at the bottom of the box.

Wei Wuji's natal sword is called Qingfeng.

With a long roar at the gate of heaven, a cool breeze comes from thousands of miles.

Wei Wuji can break through the formation of Chang'an City with one sword.

As long as Shan Chang and Yuan Tiangang don't make a move.

It is naturally impossible in ordinary times, but there may not be opportunities to take advantage of in a multi-party melee.

However, Wei Wuji faintly even looked forward to fighting Shanzhang or Yuan Tiangang.

Only masters understand how lonely loneliness is.

How lonely is invincibility.

Except for the few masters in the world, Wei Wuji has no interest in other practitioners at all.

Civil war?

In the final analysis, it still depends on the practitioner.

The strength of a practitioner is enough to change the situation of a great war.

"I hope this battle can be a happy one."

...

...

The most painful thing in life is the moment when the rest ends.

Zhao Xun really doesn't want to leave his family, but he has to live, and life has to be compromised.

After the rest, Zhao Xun returned to the villain's office and began to infiltrate.

"Mingyun, you are back."

The first moment he saw Zhao Xun, Jia Xingwen hurried over.

"What's wrong? Did something important happen?"

Zhao Xun cried out in his heart.

Good guy, it's okay that something big happens every time he leaves the yamen.

In the future, Zhao Xun will have to be completely tied to death.

"It's the prisoners in the prison, those demon sect practitioners..."

Jia Xingwen's complexion was ugly, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as earthy.

"The practitioners of the Demon Sect all exploded and died."

"what!"

Zhao Xun couldn't believe his ears.

Exploding to death, what a joke!
"How could this be? Didn't the jailer find out immediately?"

Zhao Xun's first reaction was what did the jailer eat.

"The exploding death happened in the middle of the night and by the time we found out it was over."

Jia Xingwen sighed and said: "At first I wanted to imprison them as bait, but now all previous efforts have been wasted."

The bad people didn't kill all the Mozong practitioners, they just wanted to fish, and now they didn't catch any fish, and the bait was gone.

Zhao Xun's face was livid, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Ming Yun, don't be too sad."

Jia Xingwen patted Zhao Xun on the shoulder and said, "There is still a chance later."

"Well…"

Zhao Xun smiled wryly and said, "What can we do now? There are still some Demon Sect practitioners hidden in Chang'an City. Although there are not many of them, they pose a great threat. Now that we have lost our clues and connections, we have to start all over again. I just hope there’s still time.”

What Zhao Xun is most worried about is that Emperor Xianlong, a dog emperor who is not a son of man, jumps out again and chirps, hey, why is his luck always so bad.

...

...

People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong, this is the truth that Zhao Xun has realized.

At the beginning, he still appeared in the bad man's office as a newcomer.

At that time, everyone including Emperor Xianlong did not have high expectations of him, so that as long as he solved a case, it would cause a sensation.

But later, as he repeatedly solved major cases, these people's appetites were whetted, and their expectations for him naturally increased.

In this case, Zhao Xun not only had to solve the case, but also had to solve the big case and solve the case quickly.

And it seems that the entire elite circle in Chang'an regards Zhao Xun as a small expert in solving cases.

But whenever there is a big or difficult case, Zhao Xun will be the first to think of.

Zhao Xun thought to himself, what a pity he did, he was just a child, and he had to bear so much.

"Brother Mingyun, don't worry too much. It's going to rain today, and Niang is going to get married. There are some things that we can't predict and prevent in time. We just need to have a clear conscience."

Seeing Zhao Xun's depressed face, Wangcai stepped forward to comfort him.

Zhao Xun couldn't help but smiled wryly, thinking, silly Wangcai, things in this world are not as simple as you imagined.

The world is not black and white, but a lot of gray.

Some things cannot be handled with just a passion.

But he doesn't plan to communicate with Wangcai in detail, because Wangcai won't understand.

At least not right now.

"It's okay, Ming Yun, I believe everything will be fine."

Jia Xingwen stepped forward and patted Zhao Xun on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Let's not talk about that, let's eat raw fried food first. You can't lose your mouth for anything, isn't it prosperous?"

Wangcai quickly answered, "Brother Jia is right, you can't lose your mouth when you do anything. Let's eat raw fried food first."

...

...

Daming Palace, Zichen Palace.

Emperor Xianlong stared deeply at the memorial on the imperial case, and did not say a word for a long time.

For him, this is undoubtedly the most difficult moment.

Calls for help were sent from all over the world, from the Western Regions, Jiannan, and Jiangnan Road.

But now the imperial court really can't mobilize its strength to support the local area.

The imperial court is a bit overwhelmed by itself now.

"Pass down the decree and order all localities to organize their own village brave groups to practice defending against the enemy."

This decision was difficult to make, but he had to make it.

I hope that local states and counties can withstand it by themselves.

...

...

Zhongnan Mountain, Haoran Academy.

Inside the two-story bamboo building, the head of the mountain looked at the assembled disciples with a very peaceful expression.

"I called you here this time because I have a very important matter to explain."

The head of the mountain scanned around, and then said in a deep voice: "You must be clear about the current situation, right?"

"Shan Zhang, now that the Demon Sect is going south, Chang'an is very dangerous. Since Shan Zhang has decided to take action, we will naturally follow to the death."

Long Qingquan was the first to speak out, which could be regarded as an example for the disciples of the academy.

"Yes, Master Shan, if you tell us to fight against the Demon Sect, we won't even frown."

Liu Yingying also echoed.

The head of the mountain nodded in satisfaction: "Your junior brother always likes to say a word on weekdays, that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world."

After a short pause, the head of the mountain continued: "As a teacher, I think it makes sense. Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world, and naturally scholars are also responsible."

"Our academy is the center of the world's scholars, and it is a sacred place in the hearts of countless scholars. We must set an example for the world's scholars. Anyone who violates our academy will be punished no matter how far away!"

The head of the mountain said loudly, which made people's blood boil.

"Our academy convinces people with virtue. If virtue can't convince people, we can only use fists."

"Nothing can't be solved with one punch, if there is, then two punches."

Hearing these familiar words, the eyes of the academy disciples turned red.

Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while.

Although they are not soldiers but scholars, they are actually the same in essence.

"Now that your little junior brother is in trouble, and Chang'an City is in trouble, we must defend the glory that belongs to the academy with our fists."

...

...

Outside Chang'an City, the northern barbarian camp.

Ashina Zhuo looked at the distant city with deep eyes.

It has been half a month since they arrived outside Chang'an City, but they have not launched an offensive.

Because the high priest said that now is not the best time.

At least wait until one of the 36 countries in the Western Regions or the southern barbarians arrives before doing it.

But now news has come from Jiannan Road.

The southern barbarians have captured Jinguan City and are marching towards Chang'an City along the Shu Road.

I believe it won't be long before they can appear outside Chang'an City.

With the allied forces, Ashina Zhuo's confidence soared, knowing that he could finally do it.

"The high priest said that the city of Chang'an was covered by a talisman array, and there was another talisman array within the talisman array. But no matter what, they had to break through the first talisman array before they could enter the city and continue to break through the second talisman array. formation."

"So Khan, we can only wait now? Breaking the talisman array is their job, and we can't help it."

"No, we have to do other things well. Once the high priest breaks through the talisman, we must attack the city wall as quickly as possible."

"The battering ram and the ladder are all ready, don't be idle."

...

...

Late at night, Qin Tianjian.

The supervisor Yuan Tiangang watched the sky at night and found that the Ziwei star was dim, and his heart became heavy.

Ziwei star is the guardian satellite of the emperor.

The Ziwei star is dim, indicating that the royal family is in danger, and the national fortune of the Great Zhou will also be affected accordingly.

This is a celestial phenomenon that Yuan Tiangang has not seen in the past ten years.

"What do you think about Chunfeng?"

Li Chunfeng said with emotion: "Master, it seems that this battle is extraordinary. We can only follow the trend, and we cannot change our fate against the sky."

What Li Chunfeng said is the principle that Taoism has upheld since ancient times.

Daoists are good at observing the sky, but every time they see the sky, they will lose their lifespan.

If you change your fate against the sky and forcibly go against the sky, the consequences will be very serious.

In the slightest, Yangshou will be damaged, and in the severest case, it may be killed by Tianlei immediately.

Therefore, people from the Taoist sect, even if they are peerless and powerful, will not easily peep at the sky, even if they know it, they will bury it deeply in their hearts and never say it.

"But if you don't talk about this matter as a teacher, your Majesty..."

Yuan Tiangang seemed very hesitant.

To be honest, Emperor Xianlong treated him well, even with great kindness.

At the beginning, Emperor Xianlong promoted Yuan Tiangang to be the supervisor of Qintianjian when Yuan Tiangang was unknown, and this is how Yuan Tiangang is today.

If Yuan Tiangang chose to conceal the celestial phenomena he had observed at this time, he would actually be sorry for Emperor Xianlong.

But if he said it, he would be sorry for himself.

If a Taoist cultivator is punished by heaven, it would be a joke to pass it on.

Yuan Tiangang will not only be ridiculed by this generation of rivers and lakes, but may even be engraved in history forever.

Generations of practitioners will think he is a joke when they mention him.
