After learning that after the Ming army raided Yongliang, Sun Kewang personally led 10,000 cavalry from the Western Regions to Guanzhong in order to receive the population transferred from Guanzhong and supplies.

When the army arrived in Suzhou, it happened to meet the warring Ming and Zhou armies, so it launched a surprise attack from behind to help Wu Sangui conflict and block it.

According to the plan of Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou, the Zhou State would move to the Western Regions, with an army of 180,000, nearly one million people and relatives.

In this way, the State of Zhou would have the strength of the Qing Dynasty outside the pass, even stronger than the Qing Dynasty.

But now, Wu Sangui looked back at the battle horses, and the dejected soldiers and horses behind him, plus the 10,000 people brought by Sun Kewang, were probably less than 60,000, and most of the baggage and food were lost.

In this way, including the Zhou army left behind in the Western Regions, the Zhou army had only more than 70,000 generals, and their strength was greatly weakened. Can they still be able to enjoy themselves in the Western Regions?

This made Wu Sangui worried, extremely depressed, and hated Zhao Ming very much.

"Where are you now?" Wu Sangui asked shakingly on his horse.

Sun Kewang smiled and said, "Your Majesty, it's almost time to Hami!"

Wu Sangui frowned, "I am defeated this time, and the left prime minister doesn't seem to care about this, nor do he worry about the future!"

Sun Kewang put away his smile and said in a deep voice: "Although the Lord has been defeated, he escaped after all. Now that he enters the Western Regions, he will be the dragon entering the sea. No matter how powerful Zhao Zamao is, he will not be able to reach the Western Regions for a while. You don't have to worry about the threat of the Ming army, and it just happens to create a foundation."

Sun Kewang looked at Wu Sangui, and many Zhou generals at a glance, and said arrogantly: "And I'm sorry, the countries around the Western Regions are nothing but native chickens and tiles for my Great Zhou. Only Zhao Zamao can threaten us in this world. Now we are far away from Zhao Zamao. Without the restraint of the Ming army, our Great Zhou can create a great cause like Yelu Dashi."

Wu Sangui remained silent. Many Zhou generals who were panicked behind him were a little relieved when they heard the words, but someone still asked, "Left Prime Minister! We only have 60,000 or 70,000 soldiers, can we survive in this Western Region?"

Sun Kewang said: "The Han Dynasty set up a captain in the Western Regions, but only a few thousand soldiers were only a few thousand troops. The Tang Dynasty stationed only 20,000 to 30,000 troops here, but it was able to control the Western Regions. Today, our Great Zhou has 70,000 elite troops. Can't we build a foundation in the Western Regions?"

Sun Kewang was a distortion of concepts. The Han and Tang dynasties had strong Central Plains as their backing, but the Zhou Kingdom was a rootless Ping, without any backing, and even suffered hostility from the Central Plains.

However, after hearing his words, many Zhou generals were relieved, at least they didn't have to worry. After going to the Western Regions, they were destroyed by the Western Regions.

After the generals discussed a few words, the Prime Minister of Xia asked again: "In the Western Regions, deserts and Gobi are everywhere, the land is barren and barren, and the population is sparse. Is there enough food for us 70,000 people, plus hundreds of thousands of relatives and people?"

Wu Sangui looked at Sun Kewang, and there were also questions in his heart, but he did not ask questions with the generals.

At this time, he had already seen that Sun Kewang was calming the morale of the army.

After all, Zhou Jun was defeated and left Guanlong and went to a completely unfamiliar place. The soldiers must have many concerns and worries in their hearts.

If these concerns and worries cannot be resolved, they may lead to deserters and military mutiny and refuse to go to the Western Regions.

"Of course it's enough food!" Sun Kewang said with a smile: "In fact, since last year, I have allocated grain to the Western Regions and moved the Hetao residents to Luntai for military farming. Now hundreds of thousands of acres of land have been reclaimed."

At this time, Hong Chengchou, who had not spoken, also said: "After the Great Zhou destroyed Yarkand, the court was preparing to develop the Western Regions as the strategic depth of the Great Zhou and the final retreat. For this reason, in the past two years, the court has been transporting population and food to the Western Regions, and the food stored in the Western Regions must be enough to eat."

Sun Kewang took over the conversation and said, "I am in Luntai, Shanshan and Shache have established granaries. At present, not only are there sufficient grain storage, but there are also a large number of cattle and sheep that can be eaten. Everyone does not have to worry about food at all."

With the repeated boasting and comforting of Sun Kewang and Hong Chengchou, everyone was reluctant to feel relieved.

Guanning and other groups have been wandering around for many years, and Guanzhong is not their home. Now they are just a different place. As long as they have food, drink and women, they will accept it.

For a moment, Zhou Jun no longer felt depressed and began to look forward to a new life after arriving in the Western Regions. He could even think about how to get a few beautiful Western Regions girls with exotic styles.

Seeing this, Sun Kewang bid farewell to Wu Sangui and returned to the Western Regions first to arrange the matter of receiving the army.

After Sun Kewang left, Wu Sangui led the army to Shanshan County, an important stronghold of the Zhou army in the Western Regions.

This place is located in the Turpan Basin, where Zhou Jun saw herds of cattle and sheep, and many fields.

After Sun Kewang left, Hong Chengchou acted as a guide and introduced: "Thirty percent of the cattle and sheep that these herders had to be handed over to the court. In addition, at the end of last year, Benxi sent many craftsmen to the Western Regions, including many weaving households. In the future, the wool on these sheep can be woven in the Western Regions and turned into carpets and clothes, so everyone does not have to worry about wearing them."

When everyone saw the herds of cattle and sheep, they felt relieved. They followed Wu Sangui all the way west. When they passed by Yueguang Lake, they saw the salt field again, so they didn't have to worry about not having salt.

In early September, tens of thousands of people traveled a long distance and finally arrived in Luntai County.

Here, they saw large fields at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, and the Han people who came here first and were busy with cultivation.

At this moment, everyone was completely relieved and prepared to accept a new life, and even Wu Sangui regained his confidence.

At this time, the Zhou army who had just arrived set up camp outside the county town. Wu Sangui was rarely interested. He ran out of the camp with Sun Kewang who came to welcome him and went to inspect the results of Luntai's military farming.

Wu Sangui rode up the hillside, and Hong Chengchou signaled everyone who followed him to stop and followed him with Sun Kewang.

The two of them stood by Wu Sangui on their horses. Wu Sangui looked at the fertile fields that were opened and couldn't help but sigh: "The two prime ministers are doing well. I am also worried that after retreating to the Western Regions, there will be shortage of supplies, and the soldiers will be out of clothing and cannot fill their stomachs. I didn't expect that my worries would be excessive."

Wu Sangui was in a good mood, and Sun Kewang said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty will not think that there is really nothing in the Western Regions."

When Wu Sangui heard the words, his heart sterned. He turned his head to look at Sun Kewang, and then looked at Hong Chengchou. Seeing the expressions of the two, he couldn't help but say in a lost voice: "Are they all fake?"

Hong Chengchou nodded, "Your Majesty, there is actually not much food. My ministers and others said they are sufficient supplies, just to stabilize the morale of the army."

Wu Sangui looked disbelief, "What about the cattle and sheep? And these fields are also fake?"
