The earliest royal city in Loulan has declined in the war.

Most ancient capitals emerged because of prosperity. Then, due to excessive population concentration, the surrounding resources were exploited destructively, and war broke out, which eventually led to a sharp decline in living conditions and had to move the capital.

Especially for city-states like the Western Regions Loulan, which are similar to oasis, once the oasis is completely destroyed and cannot be restored, it will be nowhere to die.

The Cyclone Royal City was the second royal city after Loulan evolved into Shanshan in the early days.

In history, Shanshan later moved the capital again and then quickly declined completely. Therefore, Shanshan's third royal city did not even have a new name, so it was called Shanshan Royal City.

Now the Shanshan Royal City is the second one...

As for whether there will be a third one in the future, it is hard to say.

In the mud city.

Tonggeroga roared repeatedly, waved the cowhide whip, and whipped the people on the ground all over the ground. Some of the Shanshan leaders around him were silent and lay their heads on the ground. The soldiers outside the hall didn't even dare to show off their anger. They just glanced secretly and quickly lowered their heads.

The previous plan to harass the horse thief and delay Fei's marching step was obviously a complete failure.

Not only did he lose his troops and generals, he also provided Fei Qian with a lot of current information in Shanshan...

Of course, it is not free to recruit horse thieves, especially when the war is in the middle of the war, the more outrageous the price. The family wealth accumulated over the years has been squandering all of them and has not achieved any good results at all. No wonder Tong Groga was so furious.

Can you get the lost money back by beating someone?

Can you defeat Fei Qian by whipping a whip?

It was just to let Tonggega vent his incompetent rage.

Tonggeroga finally got tired of fighting and stopped.

Tong Groga stared at his bloodshot eyes and swept viciously over the Shanshan leaders under the hall, panting, "Who still wants to plead for him? You can stand up!"

No one said anything.

"I know what you are thinking?" Tong Groga sneered, "Do you think the Han people are coming and you can surrender at the worst? Because that little beast didn't kill Lao Al? So you feel hope again? Isn't it?!"

Tong Groga shouted loudly, and everyone lowered their heads.

"You would rather believe the lies of the Han people!" Tong Groga stretched out a bleeding whip and pointed at the heaven, "Think about your ancestors! Think about why we migrated here from Xianquan City! The Han people gave you a grain of wheat, and they wanted to take tens of thousands of grains of wheat from your hands!"

"The Han people came to the Western Regions and said they were doing business with us. They said they were sweeter than the sweetest honey of the Tengsanger flower! It sounded better than the larks in spring!" Tonggeroga waved his blood-stained whip, "In fact?! The Han people regarded us as cattle and sheep! Slaughter at will! Slaughter at will!"

"The Han people said they were good friends and brothers with Loulan! Loulan will be more beautiful, richer and happier in the future!" Tong Geroga laughed loudly, and the blue veins on his neck were exposed, "Then what?! Have you all forgotten?! Loulan is gone! Brothers?! When gnawing on our flesh and sucking our blood, call us brothers! Say we are friends! You can cut off our heads with one turn! Kill us just to make us happier?! Ah?! You are actually fantasizing about going to a peace talk with the Han people?! You are dealing with the devil!"

The more Tong Geroga spoke, he became more and more angry. He walked to the Shanshan leaders who were lying on the ground and kicked them over one by one. The Shanshan leaders did not dare to resist. After getting up in silence, they knelt down again.

Tong Geroga did not dare to kill all the Shanshan leaders because he could not pass through these Shanshan leaders, but controlled the deep people at the bottom, so he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed after kicking these guys down.

You can beat or scold, but you can kill, especially when the enemy is in the moment, if you really kill them all, is it possible to kill them alone? Is it possible for Tong Groga to fight Fei Qian alone?

After gasping for a while, Tonggeroga dropped his whip and asked people to carry the half-dead unlucky ghost to treat it, which was to temporarily expose the matter. That's right, Tonggeroga could not even execute his subordinates who had been ruined, because the feudal system of Shanshan was not perfect, and the king's authority was more like the leader of a large tribe.

"Stop pretending!" Tong Groga walked into the middle and sat down, "All up, tell me what to do?"

Another unspeakable silence.

A moment later, when Tonggeroga's anger was once again a little uncontrollable, someone suddenly whispered: "My king... there are still some Han people in our city..."

Tonggeroga frowned and said, "You mean... those Han people who do business with us? You want... this is not good. After all, they are also good people, they do business with us..."

"My king... has come to such a situation in front of me..." The man whispered, "If I could hold on, would I be afraid that there would be no Han people to do business? If... then keep these Han people..."

Tonggeroga was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, that's it!"

…(╯>д<)╯…

Fei Qian received the "gift" from Tonggeroga.

This "gift" was sent by a Han man whose ear was cut.

A wooden box with Han style lacquered.

The box is covered with a layer of yellow sand, and ten ears are neatly placed on it.

All left ear.

"They...the Shanshan people captured the Han people in the city, said yes...they...if the general...continue to attack the city, they will have to be buried with them..." The Han people whose left ear had been cut were covered with blood, mixed with sweat and tears, stained with yellow dust and dirt, disheveled their heads and shook sadly, "The general is kind...they are all innocent...please show mercy...save them...

The injured person is very pitiful.

Their appearance is miserable and their crying is also very sad.

But Fei Qian sometimes doesn't understand the brain circuit of these people, "What do you think? Why do you agree to come back to see me?"

『Ah?!』The Han man was confused, 『General...What do you mean by General?"

Fei Qian frowned and said, "It's because you and I are both Han people, so we can only threaten the Han people to put down their swords and guns? What did you think when you went to Shanshan Kingdom before? The most interesting thing is that Shanshan people cut your ears, and you let them cut them?"

The Han people hesitated, "No...but... they don't understand what I said... they still have swords and guns..."

"Do you think we Han people have no swords and guns?" Fei Qian nodded, "It seems that not only the Hu people in the Western Regions have forgotten the traditions of the Han people... and you have also forgotten... Do you still remember the traditions of the Han people?"

"The tradition of the Han people?" The Han people widened their eyes, "What is it... what?"

Fei Qian had lost the desire to communicate with this Han man, and waved his hand to signal someone to take him down.

Fei Qian looked at the figure of the Han man and suddenly smiled, "I really want to thank King Shanshan... He taught us a lesson... Ziyi, what do you think?"

Taishici sneered and said, "These guys are so stupid! They have to shoot the arrows on the strings. How could they retreat halfway because of these losses? But... I am a little surprised. Why do Shanshan people think this method is useful?"

Threat with hostages?

Tear the ticket if you don’t agree to the request?

Is it because I have been with the horse thief for too long that the horse thief has turned into a horse thief?

still……

Taishici was silent for a while and said, "Lord, when you attack the city, let your subordinates go first."

Fei Qian smiled and waved his hand and said, "It's okay. But this matter... In the Western Regions, there are brave men and cowards... Han people and Hu people are like this... Those who are Han people but do not do the affairs of the Han family are not short of people in the world. Therefore, be careful when using people in the Western Regions."

Taishici nodded seriously.

Fei Qian and Taishi Ci thought this was enough to be slutty, but they didn't expect that after half a day, some old Han people were released, but their ears were not cut off or their bodies were cut off. However, they cried with white hair and said that they would let Fei Qian have compassion, because his child, grandson, was taken hostage by Shanshan people. If Fei Qian continued to march, they would be killed.

Fei Qian laughed and cried.

Fei Qian roughly guessed some of the ideas of King Tong Groga, Shanshan...

Simply put, this is like a test of fools in later generations.

SMS fraud, speeches, etc. are all of the same type. Once for some reason, if you think the words of a liar or other people are reasonable, and then you have no personal thinking and rational judgment, you will be unrepentant.

King Shanshan played this game with almost three purposes. First, it means that it means similar to "returning blood to blood", which shows that the Shanshan people will never surrender and will continue to fight with Fei Qian. Fei Qian killed the Shanshan people, and the Shanshan people will become horse thieves to kill ordinary Han people. Then, it is naturally impossible for Fei Qian to end the war in the Western Regions as soon as possible.

The second purpose is to bewitch and disturb people's hearts. Not only to bewitch and disturb the hearts of the Han people on Fei Qian's side, but also to put anchors on the hearts of Shanshan people. Fei Qian came to the Western Regions, and before Lu Bu and others came to the Western Regions, they all claimed to protect the Han people in the Western Regions, but now they have not preserved the Han people in Shanshan...

In this way, some people with unclear minds will jump to the point of accusing Fei Qian as if they believed the words of liars and gangsters.

At the same time, it is also a warning to the Shanshan people who want to surrender to Feiqian. If the Han people don’t even care about their own Han people, will they really take care of the Shanshan people who surrender?

The third aspect is relatively hidden.

Fei Qian just feels that it should be related to Buddhism.

Because Buddhism emphasizes the purpose of saving sentient beings, but Fei Qian's current behavior is neither kind nor universal, and it just happens to be an attack point for most Buddhist believers in the Western Regions...

However, no matter how hard King Shanshan struggled, he still had the fate of being at the city.

In the royal city of Shanshan, under the mud city, the cavalrymen roared and moved, occupying the main traffic position on the battlefield.

Even though most people knew that the Shanshan people could not have any reinforcements, they still had a lot of defense at all. The cavalry scouts scattered out and controlled all aspects of the battlefield.

In the mud city, Tong Groga led a large number of Shanshan leaders and ordinary soldiers, as if they were talking about something. They shouted loudly, as if to give themselves courage. Many people were running back and forth, bringing a large number of defensive equipment to the city wall.

There are some people tied up in the battlements.

Obviously, they were the Han people arrested in Shanshan Kingdom.

Fei Qian looked at him and said silently.

If you simply compare the other small Western Regions towns or gathering points you see, the small city is obviously more majestic, at least it looks very similar.

The outer city is very tall and has a unique and rough beauty.

Because it is made locally, it is similar to the rammed earth city walls in the Han area. However, because the rainwater in the Western Regions is relatively sparse, there is not much processing on the exterior walls, and even the blue bricks are not covered, revealing its yellow soil layer. The city gates and some corners have brick-like structures.

There are also marches above the city gate.

The city walls are also relatively wide, and there seems to be no shortage of braziers, weapon stands, and pounding wood.

If you attack according to serious attacks... uh, no, you will be siege according to the old model. In areas like the Western Regions that are relatively lacking in large wood, it is undoubtedly a difficult task to temporarily build siege equipment. It is too stupid to carry siege equipment with the army, which is inconvenient to move.

So, does this give Tonggeroga confidence to resist?

Fei Qian looked up and looked up.

The eyes went up from the silence city...

The sky is still very blue.

The clouds are still very white.
To be continued...
