Simple ingredients and simple combinations create a completely different taste.

Sometimes food is really magical. Even after trying it once, you can realize the magic.

At least at this moment, the aroma of egg fried rice spreads in Zhao Xun's mouth and dances on the tip of his tongue. Zhao Xun can appreciate the delicious feeling of the combination of ingredients.

Third senior brother Long Qingquan feels similar.

All in all, everyone feels that although this egg fried rice has simple ingredients and simple preparation, it gives people a feeling that they can't stop eating it.

"Okay, I'm finally full."

After eating two whole bowls of egg fried rice, Zhao Xun touched his round belly and burped happily.

Sometimes it is true that only home-cooked food can satisfy you, but those fancy dishes will make people feel ethereal.

Sometimes it affects people's appetite.

"Junior brother, please tell me why the human prince suspected that the orcs were moles."

"That's a long story."

Zhao Xun told the story told to him by the human prince Harry Postman again to the third brother and the sixth brother.

Of course, it has been streamlined and refined. Otherwise, if one followed Prince Harry Bosman's lecture, no one would be afraid that it would be endless.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, so this is really interesting."

Third senior brother Long Qingquan rubbed his palms and said very curiously: "Looking at it this way, Prince Harry Boseman is actually justified. Of course, he has no direct evidence that the orcs are violating taboos and becoming traitors.

.We can’t deny the current generation of orcs just because of the mistakes our ancestors made.”

Zhao Xun quite agrees with the argument made by Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan.

Never blindly think that I am a hero and my son is a good man, and I am a hero and my son is a bastard.

Maybe the previous half-orcs did make a lot of mistakes, but maybe the current half-orcs have experienced a lot and finally realized it?

Emotionality is something that everyone has to face. How to handle this level of relationship well can reflect whether a person is smart or not.

"Well, of course, I will investigate this matter further. Again, I will not wrongly accuse a good person, and I will never let a bad person go."

Zhao Xun has his own principles and judgment on this.

His faith determines that he will not give up on anyone easily.

This includes Orcs.

Western Region.

Master Hui'an looked intently at the city not far away.

The Western Region Allied Forces have gathered in the outskirts of the Anxi Protectorate.

This area was originally under the absolute control of the Anxi Army. However, after a series of tentative battles, the entire Anxi Army has now been forced to retreat to the rear.

To subjugate an enemy's troops without fighting is the highest level of military use.

Master Hui'an felt very happy at this moment.

The Anxi Army is indeed a rabble.

He had never felt such pleasure.

Because this means that before long, the Western Regions will be the Western Regions of the Western Regions people, and will have nothing to do with these bastards from the Great Zhou Dynasty.

He and Master Huiyan have always held different views on the development of Tantric Buddhism in the Western Regions.

Master Huiyan believed that in order for Tantra Buddhism in the Western Regions to truly flourish, it must rely on the power of the Central Plains dynasty and the help of the Central Plains emperors.

Only if the emperor of the Central Plains provided sufficient support could they really have a chance to carry forward Tantric Buddhism throughout the Western Regions.

But Master Hui'an doesn't see it that way.

In Master Hui'an's view, the best and simplest way to develop Tantric Buddhism in the Western Regions is to rely on war.

War is a cure-all for ending problems.

If there is no urgency, send troops.

Are you not convinced? Beat him until you are convinced.

Didn’t the Central Plains dynasty also adhere to this principle when expanding?

Let’s not talk about far away, let’s talk about the Zhou Dynasty. At its peak, its territory almost included the entire thirty-six countries in the Western Regions.

Under such circumstances, all the countries in the Western Regions must willingly accept the Great Zhou as their suzerain state.

Why?

Master Hui'an was the first to refuse.

Especially now that the Zhou Dynasty is in decline, countries in the Western Regions should unite to resist powerful enemies.

The enemy was once very powerful, but it will become stronger.

Many times the enemy's strength is in the past.

Many times people are always scaring themselves.

Master Hui'an now urgently hopes that the countries in the Western Regions can prove themselves and prove that they have the absolute strength to expel the Zhou army and the Anxi army!

Although this requires a lot of casualties, in Master Hui'an's opinion it is worth it.

Only by showing his fists can others know that he is not easy to bully. Only by showing his fists can others know that the countries in the Western Region have the ability to control their own destiny.

If you don't accept it, I'll beat you until you do.

If you don't accept it, I'll chase you and beat you!

At this moment, Master Hui'an really wished he could lead this coalition army to fight all the way to Chang'an.

What would it be like if we could really lead our troops to attack Chang'an directly?

Master Hui'an found it a bit unimaginable.

But one thing is for sure, the emperor of Zhou Dynasty would be so scared that he wet his pants, right?

These emperors who were born in the Central Plains dynasty are all a bunch of losers, and they don't do anything except playing with women all day long.

They are fat-headed, ambitious and lacking in talent, but they still think that they are the so-called sons of destiny.

Why?

Is it because of their big faces?

It's simply a joke.

At this moment, Master Hui'an really wanted to slap Emperor Zhou's face into a pig's head.

"Come on, since you don't accept it, let's fight openly and honestly. Let's see who is the real king. A brave man will not be afraid, and a brave man will not flinch!"

...

...

Shazhou City.

Liu Lin, the Great Protector of Anxi, led his army to arrive outside the city.

The defenders of the Anxi Army immediately opened the city gate when they saw it was Liu Lin.

Liu Lin was exhausted from the forced march from Chang'an all the way through the starry night.

After he jumped off his horse, he immediately ordered the whole army to eat.

After eating, they would rest overnight in Shazhou City, replenish food, horse feed, and drink water, and then set off again to the Western Regions early the next morning.

It took him a long time to finally convince the Emperor to allow him to go to the Western Regions.

At that time, His Majesty the Emperor had the intention of giving up the Western Regions.

This made Liu Lin feel very scared.

It is self-evident to know the importance of the Western Regions.

If the Western Region is lost, the entire Hexi Corridor will face enemy erosion.

If the Hexi Corridor cannot be protected, Chang'an City and the entire Yongzhou may be attacked by enemy forces at any time.

This is a series of chain reactions.

So Liu Lin was very happy that the Emperor finally listened to his advice.

The Western Regions cannot be given up no matter what!

This time, the number of soldiers and horses Liu Lin brought was still a bit small, only 60,000.

Even if the 20,000 soldiers and horses left behind to guard the Anxi Protectorate are included, the total number can only be 80,000.

Eighty thousand people can be said to be the minimum number of the Anxi Army in its period. Although it is barely enough, it will still be somewhat stretched when facing a strong enemy.
