    The heavy snow in the Western Region can indeed block anyone's attempt to travel in the wild, the vast Gobi Desert.  There are also mountains that tower into the clouds and there is no way to find the road.  In winter, even familiar people can easily get lost in the vast Western Region.

    What Han Dewang said was actually correct, but the mistake was that he forgot one thing.  Just because it¡¯s snowing in Almaty doesn¡¯t mean it¡¯s snowing in the entire Western Region.  There is now a team that has passed through Broken Leaf City.

    Their vanguard was traveling through the vast snowfield, marching hard against the wind and snow.  If Yunhao were here, he would be shocked and speechless.  Because these people were wearing cotton clothes and trousers, and even the horses were wrapped in quilts.  The good thermal insulation properties of cotton allowed them to travel in the wasteland at more than 20 degrees below zero.

    People and horses are breathing hot air from their mouths, and the snowflakes in the sky are like God sifting cotton wool.  There was chaos in the world, but the team was still moving forward tenaciously.  If you look at it from the sky, it looks like a black river flowing in the vast snowfield.

    Yusuf is sitting on a tall food war horse. As the eastern governor of the food empire, he has the obligation to open up territory for the food empire.  Going west to fight the Romans is not his business.  His mission is to head east, towards the legendary country full of gold.

    Fighting in the Western Region in winter is very dangerous, but Yusuf believes that danger and opportunity always coexist.  A Tang Dynasty man from afar once said that wealth can be found in danger!

    In his mouth, Yusuf heard the most beautiful story.  In order to prove that what he said was true, Yusuf was willing to risk his wealth and life.

    Exhaling a breath of thick white air, Yusuf took out a compass and a map stained with blood.  These are the spoils of war in Suiye City. There are very few Tang people in Suiye City, only a few hundred people.  The 150,000 troops under his command were just arrayed in the city.  Those servants from the Western Regions with long beards immediately tied up their masters, beat them until they were bruised and swollen, and gave them to their new masters.

    Because of the heavy snow, Yusuf got an intact Broken Leaf City.  Now, the heavy snow has not stopped.  In other words, his adventure can continue.  Until the entire Western Region became the new territory of the Dashi Empire.

    Only heavy snow can render things flying in the sky useless like those of the Tang Dynasty.  Just rely on this heavy snow to annihilate the main force of the Tang people.  Even if the weather gets better, the people of Tang Dynasty can't do anything about it.  The Western Regions are much further away from the Tang Dynasty than from Dashi.  When the new expeditionary force of the Tang Dynasty arrived, he had already returned to Dashi with rich loot.  If the Tang people dare to catch up thousands of miles away, hey!  Even if they had something that could fly, there was nothing they could do to change their fate of failure.

    "Li! You said that if we go in this direction, we can see Almaty?" Yusuf stopped and asked a guy next to him who was wrapped like a mummy.

    The man looked at the map carefully, then drew on the map with a compass, and said with certainty: "Yes! If we go in this direction, we will reach Almaty! We must speed up the march, it seems that the snow is about to stop.  We must get to Almaty before the snow stops. Once the snow stops, those airships will take off. Our whereabouts will be exposed!

    The army that has experienced a long journey is definitely no match for the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty who are waiting for work.  Only by blocking them in the city can we have a chance to win.  "The guy named Li doesn't speak Persian fluently. His frozen mouth makes his words even more difficult to understand. Fortunately, Yusuf and him have been together for two years and are already very familiar with each other. Just listen to the beginning  , you know what he is going to say next.

    "Throw away the baggage and mount all the horses. We must arrive at Almaty when the snow stops." Yusuf ordered.

    "No! You can't do this. Marching in the cold wind is already very hard. When we get to Almaty, we have to fight. The caravan said that there are more than 10,000 Tang troops stationed there. This is not a small force. As far as I know  , the Tang army only had more than 50,000 people in Beiting, and only 30,000 people in Anxi. Being able to gather 10,000 people in a city was already a heavy defense.

    Their armor is better than ours, and their swords are sharper than ours.  They have gunpowder and kerosene!  "

    ¡°We have those too!¡±

    "But the soldiers' physical strength is gone. Now we should send people out. Along the way, make ginger soup, preferably with chili peppers in it. Also put some dried milk. The soldiers can drink something hot before they go on the road. It can also replenish their physical strength.  !¡±

    "Okay! Li! Nay!"

    "It's better for me to go, I'm busy enough." Li stopped Yusuf, and personally led a group of people and pulled a dozen camels and rushed forward.

    ???????????????????????????????????It means to stop.  The fluttering snowflakes seemed a bit artistic at first sight, but now they are disgusting no matter how you look at them.

    Before dinner, come down from the city wall.  There was heavy snow all over the sky, and the city wall could not be seen for more than two miles.  Staying there is not much different from staying in the Protectorate.

    "Commander! Your Majesty really wants to withdraw your troops?"

    After two months of fawning, Han Dewang has become Zhang Liang¡¯s confidant.  Zhang Liang liked this cavalry general who was capable and could serve as an official.  With these few years of experience in the Western Region, if you train him well, he may be his right-hand man in the future.

    Drinking with your subordinates is the best opportunity to win over.  Zhang Liang has led troops for many years, so he is naturally very familiar with this.  Tonight, I took Han Dewang to drink and eat dumplings.  In order to talk privately, they were alone at the wine table.  This time, Han Dewang was even more flattered.

    "Being unable to make ends meet! Sooner or later the troops will be withdrawn, and the trade routes in the Western Regions are getting worse year by year. Chu Gong opened up the sea route, and a ship of goods can be much more than a camel team. Now Quanzhou and Guangzhou have become the busiest seaports. His grandma's, that  The guys are all making a lot of money. But I am eating sand here. After two years in the Western Regions, I will definitely tell His Majesty that I will go to Lingnan and live a good life for two years, so that I can make some money for my family.

    Even if there is a prodigal son in the family in the future, he will be defeated by him for two more years.  "Zhang Liang sighed helplessly. None of the children in the family were able to live up to expectations. The second and third children were all lucky enough to be admitted to Lishan Academy, but they did not graduate. This is also the reason why Zhang Liang did not reject Li Er, and he did not dare to slack off.  Ah. The family still needs meritorious service to support it. This trip to the Western Regions will last for a few years. At least Li Er will give an explanation. The monarchs and ministers for many years have long understood. This emperor never orders people in vain.

    "Really? If the Duke doesn't think the general is ignorant, can he let the general attach himself to the commander's tail?" When Han Dewang heard about making a fortune, his eyes almost turned green.  In the past few years in the Western Region, Ji Zan has gained some wealth.  But compared to those officials at the same level in Chang'an, they are simply extremely poor households.  Han Dewang has an unstoppable desire to get rich!

    "It's easy to say! It's easy to say! Your Majesty will definitely give me a good job to compensate for the hard work I have suffered in the past two years. You have been in the Western Regions for many years, and the court will not forget you, and your Majesty will not forget you. If this thing is done well, I will naturally also  You won¡¯t see your colleagues struggling to survive. You don¡¯t know, Chang¡¯an Migui! It¡¯s a gold-selling cave that you can¡¯t fill no matter how much money you have.

    You have only made a few money in the Western Regions these years. It is difficult to live a good life in Chang'an!  Disaster!  Disaster!  "Zhang Liang said three difficult words in a row, which frightened Han Dewang.

    I thought it would be a good thing if the imperial court didn¡¯t transfer me back at this time, otherwise I wouldn¡¯t be able to survive in Chang¡¯an.

    While the two were chatting, the steaming dumplings were served.  It's a pity that there is no pork filling, so I can only use mutton instead.  Dumplings are actually made of lean meat and will not taste good.  It has to be three-layered pork belly, chopped into pieces and made into dumplings, to be considered delicious.

    Since we are in the Western Region, we can only make do with everything.  The two generals had a drink and began to eat dumplings while talking about some interesting things about Chang'an or the Western Regions.  Han Dewang is talkative and funny.  They were the only two people talking, but the conversation was very lively.

    When his ears were full of wine, Han Dewang smiled strangely.  He clapped his hands and immediately walked in with several dancers wearing the same clothes as if they were not wearing any clothes.  Although Zhang Liang doesn't like the Western Dancer, there is nothing he can do now.  I praised Han Dewang in his heart for his ability to do things. After drinking grape wine from the Western Regions, his thoughts in that regard were particularly strong.

    As soon as the melody of Qiuci sounded, a thunderous roar was heard!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
