The Zhou army annexed Yarkand and seized more than 4 million taels of property. This seems to be a lot, but it was spent in the Ming and Zhou war, and it took only a few months, but it could do a lot of things in the Western Regions.

When Sun Kewang saw Hong Chengchou agreeing to leave 1.5 million taels, he was overjoyed. With this money, he could vigorously restore the Western Regions and strengthen the strength of the two Protectorate Palaces of Anxi and Beiting.

The two reached a consensus on the Ming and Zhou war, but neither of them was confident of defeating the Ming army.

If the Zhou State could not block the Ming army's attack, then there would be less time left for them.

However, although both of them thought that the chances of winning were not high, they had no idea, so they asked Wu Sangui to move west immediately.

This is because if the Zhou court moved westward in a large manner, it would inevitably cause turmoil within the Zhou Dynasty. The Zhou people would understand that the court did not intend to compete with the Ming Dynasty for the world, but wanted to escape.

Those who are willing to follow the Zhou court and do not want to fall into the hands of the Ming Dynasty will rush to flee westward. Another group of people who do not want to go to the Western Regions will see that the Zhou State admits defeat and do not intend to guard Guanzhong, so they will definitely turn their heads and throw themselves into Zhao Zamao's arms.

By then, the Ming Dynasty would attack in advance and would inevitably sweep Guanzhong like a destruction. At that time, the Zhou Kingdom had no time to transfer, and the Western Regions were not ready to accept it, and in the end they would only be defeated.

Sun Kewang said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister Hong, this matter should not be made public at this time. It should be carried out in secret. The fewer people know, the better."

Hong Chengchou nodded, "I know this. I will leave it to you in the Western Regions. After I return to Chang'an, I will continue to encourage the government and the opposition to fight against the Ming Dynasty, but I will secretly transfer some population, craftsmen and materials to the Western Regions so that if I lose the battle, the Western Regions can accept the court and the defeated army."

The two reached a consensus again. While actively preparing for the war, they closely transferred a batch of population and materials into the Western Regions as a way out for Zhou State.

As for this escape plan, only Hong Chengchou and Sun Kewang knew about it. Both of them couldn't help but feel that the burden on them was heavier and shouldered the mission of continuing the Great Zhou.

A few days later, outside Shache City, a team of cavalry rushed over and strangled the reins of the horses in front of the city gate.

"Civilian Messenger, open the city gate quickly!" The cavalryman shouted loudly with a bamboo tube behind his back.

The defenders on the city saw that there were only three cavalrymen under the city, and they were all Han people. The officer immediately ordered: "Open the door!"

The city gate creaked open, and the cavalry rode their horses into the city. After rushing into the city gate, they pulled their horses and asked, "Where are the two prime ministers now?"

The officer pointed out the direction, "The messenger walked straight along the street, and both prime ministers were in the palace."

The cavalry clasped their fists and then rushed to the palace with their horses slapped, flew up and got off the horse, and walked quickly towards the palace gate.

A moment later, the messenger was taken to Hong Chengchou and Sun Kewang, took out the letter and reported on one knee, "The Prime Minister, the emperor is in a hurry to send me a letter."

Hong Chengchou stood up, took the letter, opened it to watch, and then handed it to Sun Kewang with a calm face, "The Ming army began to attack Sichuan, and the emperor asked me to return to Chang'an as soon as possible."

Sun Kewang looked at the letter and looked solemn. Last year, the Ming Dynasty had just experienced the Northern Expedition and civil strife, and then fought with the Zhou army in Xingyang. Sun Kewang judged that the Ming army would rest for at least one year.

Unexpectedly, the Ming army launched an attack so quickly, which really shocked him, and also felt a little fear.

Now that he has just occupied Yarkand, he has not yet been digested and developed. If the Zhou army is defeated again at this time, even if the remnants of Zhou fled to the Western Regions, without Guanzhong's blood transfusion and population transfer, the Zhou State would not be able to achieve great things in the Western Regions.

Sun Kewang put away the letter and looked at Hong Chengchou, and there was also a hint of panic in his eyes.

Hong Chengchou said in a deep voice: "There is not much time left for us!"

Sun Kewang understood what Hong Chengchou wanted to express and nodded, "Prime Minister Hong brought the money back to China, so I don't have to worry about it."

The next day, before dawn, large carts loaded with gold, silver and jewelry quietly left Shache City.

After all, these are Yarkand's property. They are transported away directly and the Yarkand people will definitely not feel comfortable when they see it. So Sun Kewang arranges vehicles and takes advantage of the night to cover them out of the city.

Hong Chengchou did not stay in Shache. After saying goodbye to Sun Kewang, he left Guanzhong with the mission of the person facing the wall.

At this time, Prince Bals, who had escaped from Shache, had already arrived at the beach and entered the tent of Jungel.

Three years ago, Wu Sangui defeated Junggar's 100,000 troops with his excellent equipment and forced Junggar's troops to move westward.

During the westward migration, the Junggar tribe defeated the Yuzhan Kingdom and occupied the pastures on both sides of the salty seaside medicinal waters.

Although the Junggar tribe obtained a pasture to settle down, Senggehan's life here was not easy.

The land in the river, to the northwest, is the rising Tsarist Russian Empire. Their stronghold has been built to the east bank of the Ural River; to the west, is the Ottoman Turkish Empire, a super empire spanning the three continents of Asia, Europe and Africa, and is strong enough to compete with the entire Europe; to the southwest, is the Bukhara Khanate and the Safi Dynasty of Persia. Although they are declining, they are not good at it; to the east, they are driven out of the Zhou Kingdom that drove them out of the Junggar Basin.

The place where Junggar is now located can be said to be between the cracks between several powerful countries, and there are still two Khanate groups, Yuzi and Shiva, which can be said to be extremely fierce in competition.

This made Junggar's life difficult, and I often thought that one day I could return to Junggar Basin.

For this reason, over the past three years, Sengge Khan fought south and north, defeated Yuzi, forced Yuzi to surrender, and then contacted Tsarist Russia, bought muskets from the Russians, and contacted Yerkand, preparing to kill a resurgence.

But unexpectedly, Sengge was not ready yet, and Yerkang had been annexed by Zhou State.

At this time, Prince Bals, who escaped from Shache in Junggar's tent, escaped to Sengge's army for a lifetime. He told Sengge in tears that the Zhou army killed his father Khan, cleaned up Heishan and Baishan, and insulted the temple.

"Sengge Khan, hurry up and raise troops to fight back, eliminate the Zhou army, seize the western desert, and help Yerkang restore the country." Bals said anxiously.

Sengge asked: "Prince, do you know how many soldiers and horses of the Zhou army invaded Yerkand?"

Bals gritted his teeth and said, "Those cunning Han people used tricks to occupy Yarkand. According to my observation, there are no more than 10,000 people at most, so the Khan must take action as soon as possible. It would be too late to send troops to come."

Sengge pondered for a moment and said, "I will consider it, you go down and rest first."

Bales was unwilling to accept it: "Great Khan, my father Khan was removed by the Zhou army because of contacting you. You can't wait to see Yarkand be annexed by the Zhou army!"

Sengge looked down and said, "Come here, send Prince Bals down to rest!"

When Bars was taken, Sengge summoned his subordinates to discuss matters and annex the Zhou army to Yarkand, everyone was frightened and discussed. Some said they could not sit idly by and watch the Zhou army annex Yarkand, and some said they would wait and see what happened.
