King Yuli immediately agreed to Jiang Hao to borrow two thousand cavalry and prepare food for one month. When the king of Shan Kingdom saw that he could not fall behind, he gritted his teeth and agreed to borrow two thousand soldiers to prepare food for one month.

An unexpected gain, Jiang Hao was satisfied with just borrowing one thousand soldiers from the Shan Kingdom, but he didn't expect that the Shan Kingdom would give him one thousand more.

Jiang Hao smiled at the two kings and said, "Don't worry, two kings, you borrow troops this time, and I will give you double the profits in the future."

In this way, in less than a month, Jiang Hao had 6,500 battle soldiers in his hands, which exceeded his expectations.

After waiting for seven days, the kings of the two countries sent their troops, and they were all princes of various countries leading the troops. So good that Jiang Hao had his own troops, all of them were princes of various countries. It is true that Jiang Hao said before that there were so many princes in the Western Regions.

Jiang Hao led the coalition forces to set off again, and the road was interrupted along the Silk Road, and the Peacock River headed towards the most famous Loulan Kingdom in the Western Regions.

"Miss Loulan, where are you going? The road ahead is too far and the wind is too fierce. You are my dream bride..."

The west wind whistles through the desert, and the setting sun hangs on the Tianshan Mountains.

The wind blew, and the wind and sand were rising, covering people's eyes. The army was moving forward with difficulty. Soon, a scout came over on horseback and came to Jiang Hao to report loudly: "General, Loulan Kingdom is fifty miles ahead. We have already contacted the patrol soldiers of the Loulan Kingdom. The other party said, let us move forward slowly, and they are going to inform the king."

Jiang Hao nodded. They had not hidden themselves. It would be better if they knew, it depends on how King Loulan made a decision.

The team continued to move forward slowly, and after moving forward for more than ten miles, a team of about thirty or forty people suddenly appeared in front of them, including Loulan official uniforms. The team came quickly, the officials dismounted and came to Jiang Hao to strode their chests and salute, "I have seen the Great Protector, and the king asked me to welcome the Great Protector's team."

"Oh, what is the explanation for King Loulan?" Jiang Hao asked.

"My king asked the army to enter the city to rest, and asked the Protector to lead his subordinates to the palace for a banquet. The king had prepared fine wine and lambs." The official said.

Haha, this Loulan King was really upright, "Okay, I'm about to meet the Loulan King, so I'll lead the way."

A team of nearly 7,000 people, after entering Loulan City, was led to a square to rest, and someone sent clean water and dry food. Jiang Hao took his men and several princes to the Loulan Palace for a banquet.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the palace, he saw a group of people standing at the door to greet him. Jiang Hao looked at the middle-aged man standing in the middle and recognized him as the current King of Loulan at a glance.

"Jiang Hao has met King Loulan." Since the other party was so polite, Jiang Hao also asked respectfully.

King Loulan's face was full of smiles, "I am not very happy when I heard that the archer of the capital brought his troops here. I specially held a banquet in the palace. Today, the wind and sand are strong, please come in quickly."

Everyone came to the palace hall and sat on the carpet, which was filled with various Western cuisines. There were also beauties of Loulan holding wine pots to serve them. Jiang Hao introduced the people he brought to the Loulan King one by one.

Princess Kucha, Prince Yanqi, Prince Yuli and Prince of Shan Kingdom, several of his military guards, etc., the King of Loulan all smiled and said, "I don't know why the Protector came this time?" King of Loulan asked.

Jiang Hao said bluntly: "Borrow troops and defeat the Huns and give them a stable situation in the Western Regions."

When the King of Loulan heard this, he clapped his hands suddenly, "Okay, I, Loulan strongly support this move. The Han Dynasty governs the Western Regions. I, Loulan, live a happy life, but the Huns sent people to ask us to pay heavy taxes and provoke relations between countries. It is obvious that we will exploit us to death. I was still worried before, where will I go to the Western Regions? Now that the Protectors connect it, I, Loulan, will definitely support it from all over the country."

"Loulan Primary School has only a population of 13,000 and 3,000 soldiers. I am willing to borrow 1,000 soldiers to the Protector, and at the same time support all the soldiers and horses for one month of food. What does the Protector think?" said King Loulan.

Jiang Haoxin said, this Loulan King is really devoted to the great man.

"Loulan King Gao Yi, I, Jiang Hao, are endlessly grateful." Jiang Hao raised his wine glass and said.

"Okay, then everyone raises their glasses together."

Unexpectedly, it would be so smooth. King Loulan took the initiative to send troops and food. You know, Jiang Hao now has 8,000 soldiers, and a month's food is not a small number.

However, Loulan is indeed rich. Loulan is located in the western part of Lop Nur, and is at the hub of the Western Regions. It occupies an extremely important position on the ancient Silk Road, only 150 miles away from Yumen Pass. The silk, tea, horses, grapes, jewelry, etc. of the Han Dynasty were all traded through Loulan, and as a key point in the trade route, so it is naturally rich.

Jiang Hao ordered a few days off to rush on the road, which also gave Loulan time to prepare troops and food. When he was idle, Jiang Hao took his little secretary to the top of the city. Looking at the rolling yellow sand outside the city, he suddenly heard a sound of a piano.

Jiang Hao sighed: "I heard the willows in the song, and I thought of my hometown outside the border. In this vast desert, the lonely city in the Western Regions, I can hear the song "Broken Willows in the hometown", which adds a bit of nostalgia!"

Dilinaza looked at Jiang Hao and asked, "Do you have any relatives in the Great Han Dynasty?"

"It's gone." Jiang Hao shook his head.

In Jiang Hao's body's memory, he was originally a refugee, but later joined the army, and later sent to the Western Regions and gradually promoted to the military position. There were no relatives in the Han Dynasty.

"Haha, don't talk about this,"

Jiang Hao pointed to the distance and said, "Loulan is the hub of the Silk Road. It walks through the middle section, passing through Yuli, the mountain country, and you Kucha, Wensu, and Shule and out of the Western Regions. This is the golden road of the Silk Road. It is all at the foot of the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, and the distance is the shortest."

"From Loulan to the north, pass through Gaochang, Cheshi and other countries, and cross the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains to the Western Regions."

"From here, go south, and walk to the northern foot of Mount Aljin, and pass through Ruoqiang, Xiaowan, Qiemo, Jingjue, Khotan to Shache, and then to Shule to the Western Regions."

"Next, I considered two plans. One was to go directly to Kucha, attack Kucha with both inside and outside, and the other was to go south, continue to withdraw all the way and then attack Shache directly. Which plan do you think is better?" Jiang Hao looked at Princess Dilinaza and asked.

Dilinaza thought about it and looked up at Jiang Hao, "Which one is good for you? I know that your goal is definitely more than just defeating Shache. I always feel that Shache is nothing in your eyes."

Jiang Hao smiled and shook his head and said, "Princess Dina, you really look down on me. How could it be that tens of thousands of soldiers in Sha's carriages are nothing in my eyes?"

"No, this is how you give me the feeling. In fact, you have never attached much importance to Shache and did not regard defeating him as your goal. I feel now that your goal is the entire Western Region, not just Kucha and Shache." Dina said with certainty.

Jiang Hao's eyes suddenly became sharper, and he reached out to hook the woman's chin. Jiang Hao's action made Princess Dina stunned and was so scared that she didn't dare to move. As Jiang Hao's hand was recycled, she didn't follow her.

The two people's faces got closer and closer. Princess Dina's big eyes were so scared that they kept flashing, and their long eyelashes were flying like two butterflies.

Just when both of them could breathe each other, Jiang Hao finally stopped. Jiang Hao stared into Princess Dina's eyes and said fiercely: "Woman, you have finally discovered my biggest secret, so you must be prepared to be imprisoned by me for the rest of your life."

Dilinaza was indeed frightened by Jiang Hao just now, but after hearing his words, he realized that the man was teasing him. The two were so close that they almost touched each other. The distance between their lips had reached the point where they could touch each other with just pouting. Princess Dina's face immediately turned red and she immediately avoided it like a frightened person.

"Hahahaha~~~" Jiang Hao smiled happily.

"You haven't answered my question yet?" Jiang Hao continued to ask.

Princess Dilinaza hesitated for two seconds, struggled in her heart, and finally said, "I think walking the south road is more beneficial to your plan."

Jiang Hao was slightly surprised by Dilinaza's choice. She was always eager to restore the country. If she walked the south road, the time would probably increase for a long time.

"If you walk the south road and detour, it will probably take about half a year to go along the way." Jiang Hao said.

"I know, but I feel that your strength will be stronger in this way, and more countries in the Western Regions can also know your existence, which will be more beneficial to your future plans." Dilinaza said seriously at Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao smiled and leaned closer and said, "You are such a smart girl. Can I kiss you?"

Dilinaza quickly jumped away and said angrily: "I know you've been holding on to bad thoughts, hum."

......

A long team was tapping forward slowly. After a brief rest in Loulan for a few days, he brought 7,500 cavalry and sufficient supplies. The Hanyang coalition forces set out again and were rushing to the next country, Ruoqiang.

"Chee~"

A sound of eagle cries sounded in the sky, and a huge golden eagle swooped down from the sky. Jiang Hao raised his arm, and the golden eagle landed steadily on his arm.

He untied the leather bag on his claws and took out a letter from it. After reading it, Jiang Hao handed it to Dilinaza next to him. "Samoyed sent the message from Su Mu. They had successfully sneaked into Kucha and began to investigate various situations. As I expected before, after Shache occupied Kucha, all the surrendered Kucha generals were weakened."

"The current King of Kucha is the eldest prince of the original Shache. The Kingdom of Shache left behind 6,000 Shache cavalry in Kucha and was surrendered to 12,000 Kucha soldiers. Haha, the situation is very complicated." Jiang Hao said with a smile.

Although Jiang Hao left the tower stone, he asked Su Mu to stay there. As an intelligence transfer station, the desert was far away thousands of miles away. Such a distance may be like a natural barrier for people, but for the Golden Eagle, it is just a few hours' trip.

Because the golden eagle is the most known birds, and there are no natural enemies in the air, the flight altitude can reach several thousand meters and can browse almost all mountains.

Such a messenger is much better than a pigeon, and its only disadvantage is that it is difficult to tame, but this is not a problem for Jiang Hao at all.

The team moved forward in just one day and entered the boundary of the "Ruoqiang" country, the first country on the Silk Road South Road.

Before entering the capital of Ruoqiang, Jiang Hao saw a river in front of him. The river water was clear and the mud and sand at the bottom of the river were lush. The army camped on the river bank to rest. Seeing the soldiers drinking horses and drinking water, washing rice and cooking, Jiang Hao thought to himself, I wonder if they would get pregnant and have babies after drinking this mother-of-child river water.

If all babies are given birth, then his team will immediately change from eight thousand to ten thousand, and it will expand rapidly.

Ha ha,

That's right, this river is the mother river, which is the mother river in Journey to the West, and the Ruoqiang Kingdom in front is the daughter country recorded in Journey to the West.

Ruoqiang has always been a matriarchal society. This situation continued until the Tang Dynasty. It was later destroyed by the Tubo Kingdom and fled to Gaochang Kingdom to re-establish the country. It was still called Nu Ruoqiang.

Interestingly, in modern times, the railway station in Ruoqiang County was directly named Nuer Country Station.

By the way, it is said that when Emperor Zhou Mu went west and came to Kunlun Mountain to see Queen Mother of the West, it seemed that the one he saw was also Queen Ruoqiang. Is this a good idea to understand that the king of the Kingdom of Women in Journey to the West was not capable, but he was such a powerful treasure, right? The most powerful monster of the Kingdom of the West, the Tathagata dared to stab him, and Guanyin was afraid. Sun Wukong really couldn't beat her, but he couldn't harm her daughter, because this is the hometown of Queen Mother of the West, and that treasure was left by Queen Mother of the West.

Hey, thinking of this, Jiang Hao suddenly realized that the difficulty of the Kingdom of Women was not without origin, but was a level set by the Queen Mother. He was worthy of being the leader of the female fairy. He was so powerful that he almost broke the ninth-generation boy of Tang Monk.

What's the point of eating Tang Monk's meat? It's so awesome if you suck the true essence of the ninth generation of Tang Monk's boy.

"thump!"

The river water in front of Jiang Hao was suddenly thrown away by a stone, splashing a splash of water, splashing Jiang Hao's face, pulling Jiang Hao back from his random thoughts. Jiang Hao turned around and saw his little secretary looking up at the sky and pretending to be fine.

Jiang Hao suddenly wanted to tease her and said, "I heard that the Queen Ruoqiang is beautiful, gentle and passionate, and she loves heroes the most. You said that I could drill holes deep in the palace at night."

The little secretary turned around and stared at Jiang Hao with big eyes, "I heard that the queen is almost forty years old now, with countless faces, and likes strong people the most. If you are like this, hum, you may not be able to see her."

After saying that, he gave Jiang Hao a look in contempt, turned around and left.

Jiang Hao smiled behind him.

Speaking of which, Ruoqiang is very small, with only about 3,000 people, and only 500 soldiers available. When they arrived at Ruoqiang Kingdom, Jiang Hao saw the queen with red bird feathers and accepted the delicacies and some dry food offered by Ruoqiang.

Jiang Hao met with the queen and talked about his ideas. In the end, the queen still supported one hundred warriors.

There are not many people, and Jiang Hao wants this name.

The country of Xiaowan, the country of the last country, and the country of Jingjue, are all small countries on the south route. Jiang Hao walked along the way, and each country stayed for one or two days. Whether it was voluntary or forced, Jiang Hao had received 100 war soldiers in these small countries. Just when they arrived in the country of Khotan, the Hanyang army officially reached 8,000.

The Kingdom of Khotan is considered a powerful country on the southern route of the Western Regions, with a population of about 20,000 and 4,000 soldiers. Many people said that the Kingdom of Khotan may not know it. In fact, it is the modern Hotan, which is rich in Hotan jade.

When he walked into the territory of Khotan, he stopped by a grassland river only twenty kilometers away from Khotan, and ordered to camp and cultivate on the spot, and sent people to the Kingdom of Khotan.

When King Khotan saw Jiang Hao's letter, he frowned deeply, "The world has unpredictable blessings, and whether there are any misfortunes. Alas, I am safe in Khotan. Now it seems that I will still be involved in it."

The eldest prince, who was named General of the Khotan chariot, took the letter handed over by the king and read it, and said, "Father, can't we stay out of the matter?"

"I'm afraid it won't work. The Protectorate joined forces with more than a dozen countries to attack Shache. We are near the Shache Kingdom. They may use Khotan as a base to attack Shache. At that time, we will be behind the Hanyang Army. In order to avoid being attacked from both sides, the first thing they have to deal with is definitely us to stabilize the rear." King Khotan said.

"Then let's join Shache?" said the eldest prince.

"Shoulder to join Shache, Shache is a domineering person, and often has conflicts over the territory. How can we join Shache?" King Khotan said unhappily at his son.

At this time, the eldest prince smiled, "Father, what else do you have to hesitate? Since their target is Shache, we are not in line with Shache, so why don't you join the coalition forces to fight together?"

The King of Khotan shook his head gently, "What I am worried about is not Shache but the Huns. The Huns are powerful, so how can our small country resist? If one is not good, I will suffer the disaster of overthrowing the country."

"But my father, the Huns also issued tax burden notices to us before. How can we afford such a high tax burden? Since we have this opportunity now, we might as well fight against the Huns with the Protectorate, and we may not be unable to win." The eldest prince said.

King Khotan thought for a while and sighed,

"Well, my father is old, and the king's position will be handed over to you sooner or later. This matter will be handed over to you with full authority. You can go to see that General Jiang Hao tomorrow."
