In the rapid sound of the piano, the dancer rotated more and more crazy, causing the bells on his waist to be like rain, his soft waist and changing fingers to be as magical as they were intoxicated by the candlelight. When the sound of the piano stopped, the dancer's skirt was blooming like a flower, and his pointed fingers pointed charmingly at Huli sitting in the center.

"Hahahaha, okay, there is a reward." Huli was already drunk and tilted around. He grabbed a handful of gems from the box opened beside him and swept it casually to the carpet in the middle of the house. The gems were shining with dazzling brilliance under the candlelight, and the dancers and musicians competed to grab them. Seeing these people lying on the ground like dogs snatching food, Huli let out another smug laugh.

It has been seventeen days since he left the capital of Crescent City with two thousand flying eagles. After leaving his father's sharp gaze, the eldest brother was so picky that he hated and galloped across the Gobi Desert with two thousand light horses, plundering the caravans and robbing property, and even raging at the Jingmen Pass. Huli felt like a tiger with a shattered wings, an indescribable pleasure.

The woman and musician in front of him were stolen, and the gems in the box were also stolen. The stone house next to him was full of stolen property. In just over ten days, Hu Li snatched more than ten caravans and accumulated millions of property. In the dim eyes, Hu Li was in front of him with a river of gold and silver treasures, and he could grab it with just a stretch of his hand. With this money, he would definitely win the favor of his father and the support of his ministers, and his elder brother Hu Rui also had to give in to him.

He summoned two dancers, and under their help, Hu Li stood up staggeringly, and smiled at the four generals on both sides, saying, "It's getting late, please choose what you like and let's disperse each other." These four people are generals of the Flying Eagle Army, one silver guard and three iron guards, all of whom are only about thirty years old. If they can win over it, it may be of great use.

The four of them were overjoyed and each chose a famous dancer and were about to return to their residence. Noise came from outside the house. After a while, the guards guarding the gate came in and reported, "The second prince, I found a detailed work in the front village."

"What?" Huli ordered: "Get cold water and sober soup."

When Hu Li woke up, a quarter of an hour had passed. After listening to the report of the patrol general in the front village, he was so angry that he swept the cups and plates on the table to the ground.

"Have you caught it?" Huli asked.

"The man was shot in an arrow. When we chased him out, we were gone. We found the body of a soldier outside the village, and his left ear was cut. It should be the work of the detective cavalry of Zheng State." The patrol officer gritted his teeth and reported.

Hu Li roared: "You group of people are sneaking into the village. I don't know why you don't send more people to search in a scattered way."

As soon as the room was quiet, Hu Li reacted and required his orders to send a scout cavalry to search. He had been drunk for so long. He probably had run dozens of miles away and where to catch him. Hu Li was no longer in the mood to play with a dancer. He thought with a calm face for a moment and ordered that the scout cavalry be sent overnight to track the border along the Zheng State, strengthen vigilance in the military camp, send more scout cavalry to pay attention to the movements of the Zheng State border.

Waving his hand dejectedly, letting his left and right retreat, Hu Li sat dejectedly on the carpet behind the table, looking at the roof blanket, recalling the scene that happened in the Crescent Palace not long ago: The news of the military camp in Huazhou in Zheng State caused an uproar. The generals expressed their opinions that they would lead their troops eastward to flatten Huazhou again, while some civil servants led by Daxiangqiu Linchao believed that Zheng State had a large land and many troops, and the military was well-equipped, so they should not be ignored.

Yi Qi Zhan. The court debate lasted for several days, but King Rong Mi dared not express his opinion. As a king, he knew to listen to the suggestions of his subordinates from multiple angles. Moreover, there was not much information now, so he had to wait for more news to arrive.

The news has been delivered one after another. The total number of Zheng soldiers who came to the border of Huazhou to cultivate farms was 40,000. They will arrive in two years. The policy of farming farming was proposed by the new Huazhou governor Jiang Anyi. Hu Dao thought that the guests of Zheng Guoyuan Tiansect suffered a great loss under Jiang Anyi's men. It seems that this person will become an obstacle to his eastward advance.

The quarrels in the royal court gradually stopped, and the civil and military people focused on Hu Gan, waiting for the king's final decision. Feeling the expectant eyes of the ministers, Hu Gan felt a little satisfied. As a king, he could listen to the suggestions of his subordinates more, but he had to make the final decision himself.

"I have heard your suggestions and all make sense. Everyone knows that Zheng State and our country are rivals." As soon as Hu Dan spoke, Wang Ting immediately became silent. The majestic voice of Hu Dan in the hall echoed, "Zheng State is reporting a martial arts competition in Beijing and preparing to use troops to the North Desert. This is a good opportunity for our country."

With a sharp eye, Hu Dao felt his ambitions were thrilled, and he stood up and said, "There is a saying in Zheng State that Tianyu would not take it, but instead he was blamed. I decided to take advantage of Zheng State's north to use troops and personally lead our Rong Mi cavalry to break through the border city of Zheng State. This time, I don't want to steal things and leave. Isn't Zheng Emperor thinking about expanding territory? I also want to include Huazhou and Qingzhou areas into the territory of Rong Mi State."

"The king is wise and has not swear to follow him to death." "The king is invincible in his power, and I will serve you." "My son is willing to be the pioneer of his father and to sank the Zheng State checkpoint." Hu Dan's words caused an atmosphere in the royal court, and all the civil and military officials were excited and rushing to fight first.

The tiger dared to wipe the thick beard under its cheek. It was the dream of every emperor. The emperor of Zheng State thought that I would not want it. The Zheng people said that the mantis stalked the cicada and the oriole were behind. I was the oriole in the back. If Huazhou and even Qingzhou could be included in the territory, the trade route of eastward would be controlled in Rong Mi. In less than twenty years, Rong Mi would become the most powerful country in the Western Regions. If future generations can manage properly, the countries in the Western Regions will be unified in Rong Mi's hands. By then, Rong Mi will become a great country comparable to Zheng and Mo, and he will definitely become the hero of Rong Mi's country to open up the border forever.

The ministers in the hall were talking excitedly. Hu Dan laughed and made the ministers happy for a while. Then he raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. After sitting back on the throne, he said firmly: "It has been decided to use troops to Zheng State as a national policy, and we will actively prepare for war from now on. I estimate that Emperor Zheng will use troops to the North Desert within two years. The day when Zheng State sends troops is the time for our country to advance east."

The great prime minister Qiu Lin said, "Since the king has decided to advance eastward, I will naturally do my best to assist you. What countries should the king contact and how many troops should send to this advance? If we want to naturalize Huazhou and Qingzhou, how to immigrate and garrison troops, and how to guard against the surrounding countries, we must make a decision on these things early."

Hu Dan laughed and said, "The Grand Priest has considered it very thoroughly, but this matter is not urgent. I will not discuss it today. I will discuss it with the Grand Priest after I have considered it."

Huli leaned over and said, "Father, it will take some time to advance eastward. Erchen believes that we must step up the blockade and harassment of the border gates of Zheng State from now on. First, the army can maintain a war state, second, the Zheng people can be exhausted, and third, the people can plunder money and increase military use. Erchen heard that Huazhou had established a border city and sent troops to disrupt the merchant team.

, it is a good thing to cut Zheng State's tax revenue in one fell swoop."

After the battle between Jingmen Pass, Yi Tuhe died in Huangquan, Huli killed his brother-in-law, lost one of the arm in the army, and more importantly, cut off the source of wealth. Seeing that fewer friends from friends came, Huli was cooked with hearts as if he was cooking. If this continues, he would be left far behind by his elder brother.

Wang Tinghu dared to announce his anti-bing against Zheng, Huli immediately knew that his chance had come. After saying something, Hudai nodded repeatedly and praised it. Finally, he ordered the two thousand light cavalry of the Flying Eagle Division to go to the Gobi to practice troops at the sight of the opportunity, and handed over the Sto's military camp to Huli as a stronghold.

The Oasis of Stowe is a dark spot in Rongmi Kingdom. The vast Gobi Desert oasis is distributed bit by bit, and the oasis will also rise and fall with the change of water source. The oasis is an oasis discovered by the Rongmi Kingdom sixty years ago. This place is very hidden. The oasis is also a newly emerged oasis and has never been discovered.

When Rong Mi Kingdom learned about this oasis, he was overjoyed and used it as a supply base for Zheng Kingdom eastward. All caravans that entered the 20-mile radius of Stowe were killed. Under such harsh control, the Oasis of Stowe quietly existed eighty miles away and was not discovered.

It is very difficult to transport supplies and rations through the Gobi Desert. There are many such military camps in the Gobi Desert in the Western Regions, storing supplies for emergencies. The Oasis of Stowe store 50,000 s of military rations, which is enough for a hundred thousand troops to support for more than a month. There are also three thousand horses and various types of armies. The interest rate of tigers is 2,000 light cavalry to serve as bandits in the Gobi Desert. Supply is a problem. Ordinary market towns cannot supply food and drinking water for so many people, and it is easy to be discovered by detectives from Zheng State. Hu dared to consider it again and again and decided to hand over the Stowe military camp to Huli as a supply base.

The Stowe military camp has 1,500 elite soldiers all year round, plus 2,000 Flying Eagle Light Cavalry. According to the terrain, it should be able to hold on to the attack of ten thousand people in Zheng State for half a month. In half a month, reinforcements from Rongmi can arrive. Therefore, Hu dared to repeatedly warn his son that he would defend the Stowe Oasis even if he fought his troops.

Huli couldn't fall asleep, so he was so proud that he returned to the Stori stronghold after attacking Jingmen Pass. He did not pay attention to the tail behind him. Zheng Guo's detective cavalry sneaked into the military camp, and the Stori Oasis was exposed. If his father knew about it, he would probably have no chance to compete with his elder brother for the throne.

"Hao" sat upright, Hu Li shouted: "It's too thick."

A big man flashed into the house and bowed to Huli with his chest without saying anything.

"Chou Keduo, I'll order you to rush to Jingmen Pass overnight and kill all the people under the pass before the switch." Hu Li's eyes were blood red and he ordered ferociously. Chou Keduo is a famous master of Rong Mi Country, a golden sword guard of the Wang Ting. There are only ten people in the entire Rong Mi Country. He is Hu Gan's personal bodyguard. This time, Hu Gan sent him to Hu Li to protect his safety.

Chou Keduo did not leave, Hu Li understood that Chou Keduo was the person sent by his father to protect him and would not obey his orders. In desperation, Hu Li told Zheng's detective cavalry into the village and fled, and it was very likely that he would go to Jingmenguan to report the news. Chou Keduo thought quietly for a moment and bowed to leave.

Hu Li gasped heavily and fell heavily on the carpet. This was his only chance. Chen Chu opened and closed the door at Jingmen Pass. At this moment, he was almost ugly. There were two and a half hours left before Chen Chu. It was about eighty miles away. Chong Keduo could reach Jingmen Pass. With Chong Keduo's skills, it should not be difficult to kill the vendors waiting to enter the pass. I hope that the Zheng State's detective cavalry was waiting at the pass.
