Achievement system: I am cultivating immortals in the world of martial arts

Zhao Long had a good impression of the two officials, and these entertainments were inevitable in the officialdom, so he nodded and agreed.

Suddenly, Zhao Long asked,

"Master Zhifu, is there still enough food and grass in the city?"

"There is more, but there is no water. Don't worry, Zhao Shuai, I will definitely not treat the soldiers of the Master Wang badly. There are a lot of food, grass, cattle and sheep in the city, so I will order the killing of cattle and sheep to reward the three armies.

It's just that there is not much wine left, and I'm afraid the soldiers won't be able to drink it. After all, there is a lack of water in the city, so the officer took all the wine to quench the thirst of the soldiers. "

Zhao Long shook his head and said,

"That's not what I meant. We don't have much food and grass in our army now. The prefect can prepare the food and grass needed by a hundred thousand troops for five days and hand it over to our army. After all, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in your city also need to eat and drink. We can't take too much away either.

When it's time to report your taxes, you just have to report them, these were taken by the Zhenbei Army and the Yue Family Army, and the court will reimburse them. "

"That's natural, but five days may not be enough. If you want to go back to Yumen Pass, even if you go around from the west of the mountain range, it will take half a month, right?"

"That's not necessary, you just need to prepare food and grass for five days, and we will take care of the rest."

"clear."

Zhao Long and Xie Xing called the lieutenants to set up camp on the spot, bury the corpses of the enemy soldiers, and at the same time make people prepare to receive the beef and mutton from the city.

The two of them entered the city with their guards.

When they arrived at the government office, the two parties sat down, the magistrate and the county guard toasted frequently, and said good things without money, and kept praising the bravery of the Zhenbei Army and the Yue Family Army.

Looking at the cautious attitude of the two high officials towards him, Zhao Long felt a little embarrassed. Just a few months ago, he was just a small commander in Wuwei County. The person he hates is also the person his father and all the other people have to carefully flatter.

But now, just a few months later, when I saw other sheriffs and magistrates again, the cautious one turned into someone else, and I became the one being flattered and flattered.

The two sides have been drinking and chatting, exchanging information, Zhao Long knew how difficult the defense of Mangya City was, and lamented their difficulty.

The magistrate and county guard also learned about the troubles caused by the Loulan army in the north, and they all cursed in anger, wishing to follow Zhao Long to attack Loulan country and avenge the people.

After drinking and eating, Zhao Long and Xie Xing evaded the residence they had prepared for the second officials, got up and left, returned to the barracks, and continued to direct the aftermath.

The beef and mutton in the city were also pulled out, and the smell of meat soon wafted from the barracks outside the city, which made the soldiers of the Yue Family Army of the Zhenbei Army who had been fighting for dry food for the past few days smile and eat.

Some of the meat was bought by the magistrate and the county guard, and some of it was donated by the people in the city for the soldiers to eat.

After all, they also know who saved them.

The soldiers ate beef and mutton, and the shaved bones and other things were fed to the desert wolf.

Desert wolves are not short of food. They are monsters and can eat people. So many enemy corpses are thrown away, so they must be fed to the wolves.

Every time there is a battle, as long as there is a war, the desert wolf will never lack food.

The evening was spent amidst the laughter of the soldiers, and everyone was very happy.

After a comfortable night's sleep, the Zhenbei Army and the Yue Family Army set off again early the next morning.

This time, they headed all the way west.

The soldiers pointed at the front, and the sword pointed at the country of Luobu.

…………

To the west of the Dachuan Empire is the Qinchuan Plateau, which is also the highest plateau in the world. After passing the thousands of miles of mountains in Qinchuan, and then going down, the altitude plummets and becomes a flat desert area.

In these deserts, there are also many oases and trickles, where people build mud houses and graze animals, creating a unique local culture with the characteristics of the Western Regions.

In Lop Country, the most famous one is Lop Nur, which is a vast lake and a rare freshwater lake in the Western Regions.

(Lop Nur in history was a saltwater lake, and now it has dried up. It is not imprecise to change it here, but it is just needed by the plot)

The vast majority of the residences and population of the entire Lop country live around Lop Nur. In the desert, water resources are extremely precious, and people settle by aquatic plants. Where there is water and a better ecological environment, people will live there. .

Lop Nur has a total population of more than 200 million, of which 150 million live around Lop Nur.

In the north of Lop Nur, there is a big city, which is the largest city in Lop Country and the capital of Lop Country, Rob City.

It is a city with walls.

It is worth mentioning that among the 36 countries in the Western Regions, most of the settlements do not have city walls.

Firstly, because people live in scattered places and need to graze, coupled with the small population and few resources, the only soil is used for building houses and grazing, and there is no extra soil to burn bricks to build the city wall.

Moreover, they are also accustomed to being robbed by armies from various countries during wars. No matter who is in charge, they are herdsmen, and they will not be massacred.

On this day, the sun was shining brightly, the sky was cloudless, and the autumn air was crisp. The breeze blew across Lop Nur, bringing a little moist humidity and coolness, which made the people living around Lop Nur feel particularly good.

At this time, a herdsman in his 30s, with his young son, was lying on the grass by the lake, basking in the sun comfortably, herding cattle and sheep.

The herdsman looked at his herds of cattle and sheep, smiled with satisfaction, and said to his youngest son,

"Ah Sang, when you grow up, Dad will give you fifty cows and a hundred sheep. You can go further east, enclose a piece of land, and build your own pasture."

"Yes, yes, Dad, I want to be a rancher too!"

The seven or eight-year-old boy was lying on the ground, looking at the blue sky, looking forward to a bright future.

Suddenly, the little boy said,

"Dad, do you feel that the ground seems to be shaking?"

Hearing this, the herdsman frowned, and immediately felt the ground beneath him, and indeed he felt a slight tremor.

"Sure enough, the tremors are getting stronger and stronger. It should be an earthquake. Come on, Ah Sang, drive the cattle and sheep with my father. These animals will run away in fright when there is an earthquake."

"Okay Dad."

Just as the two of them stood up, they suddenly saw to the east, a mass of dark figures galloping towards this side.

Correspondingly, it was the increasingly intense tremor.

"Father, what is that?"

Ah Sang stared blankly at the group of tall black figures running from a distance, so nervous that he forgot to breathe.

"That's...that's..."

The old man looked at the shadowy figure, and didn't know how to answer.

Suddenly, he thought of a possibility. Could it be the army?

Is it cavalry?

When did we Rob have these armies?
