"Everything goes wrong is not going well..."

Li Shun was talking all the way. After arriving at Shaqi City, Li Shun and others found that it was already crowded. Tens of thousands of people fleeing Daxia had already squeezed this city like Daqin County like sardines.

Because it was the hot summer day, and a heavy rain had just come, the moisture was steaming under the baking of the sun, and countless cattle, sheep and horses mixed together, and the smell of people stool flowed everywhere. The whole Shaqi City was like a big toilet.

Shaqi City has a two-meter-high wall, and its style is similar to that of the Jidong City. It is also made of huge stones. It should be a castle left by Alexander the Great after the Eastern Expedition, and was occupied by the locals. The administrator of this city is a prince of Daxia, named Tulam. He has two thousand soldiers under his command. In fact, he is a civilian on weekdays. The real warrior is only Tulam's personal guard, which is still elite, equipped with complete weapons, armor and war horses, but the number is only two or three hundred.

Because there were too many people who fled, Shaqi City could no longer accommodate it, but the city manager refused to miss this opportunity to make a fortune and arranged for soldiers to stay at the city gate to collect money. Everyone who wanted to take refuge in the city paid two silver coins. Therefore, a large number of rich people paid money to enter the city and found a place to curl up in the dirty and messy city. Those who had no money could only surround the city gate and cried loudly.

Cattle, sheep, horses and camels are in groups, people are stools are filled with feces, women, children, young and old are cried in miserable and helpless among refugees. The whole scene is as chaotic as it is, and it is as miserable as it is.

"Sir, this broken city is probably not guaranteed. It is so chaotic that it will be lost if the enemy comes in a moment!" Standing on a small hill two or three miles away from the city, looking at the chaotic and crowded scene of Shaqi City with a telescope, the leader of the imperial guards reminded Li Shun in fear.

"We must find a place to learn the most detailed situation and see who came from thousands of miles away to this ghost place. Could it be that the collective rebellion of the Western Regions was beaten by His Majesty's army? We also must find a place to repair and replenish dry food, and also inquire about the movements of the Anxi people, go to the city lord first, let's go~" Li Shun kowtowed and took the lead in going to Shaqi City.

As the head of the mission, Li Shun has transformed from a young scholar who was not diligent in all kinds of limbs and grains to a decisive Qin Chongqing. This time he went to the West, he was responsible for the Qin Dynasty's important task of understanding the West. He came for friendly trade, and also collected all the detailed information for the future Qin Dynasty to guide the West.

The Daxia Kingdom, which had already decided to trade with Daqin, suddenly said it was gone, which made him feel very passive and anxious.

It’s nothing if the Daxia Kingdom is gone. We must figure out who the group of people killed Daxia.

There is also how to avoid the pursuit of the Anxi people and escape back to Daqin safely and send back the collected Western intelligence, so that this will last for two years.

If you go on a mission so far, everything is unfamiliar with the place. If you don’t experience it yourself, you will never know the difficulties.

"Woooo~~" When Li Shun's delegation approached Shaqi City, the soldiers in charge of observing the city discovered this mighty and tidy imperial guards and the Great Qin Dragon Banner that was shining and shining.

Soon, the refugees surrounding the city gate near Li Shun began to cry and scream and spread out, like a flock of chickens exploding. At the same time, a group of soldiers rushed out of the city with weapons. Soon, the two sides were less than a hundred feet apart, and both sides set off bows and arrows to confront each other.

"Don't be impatient, Bajila, go and tell their leader that we are the Great Qin delegation passing by here and want to go to the city to repair and pay homage to the city lord, and there is no hostility!" Li Shunshou said with the long sword around his waist.

"Yes, sir!" Bajila rode out of the line on a camel and explained loudly to the opposite side. After seeing the leader on the opposite side also began to appease the soldiers, he walked over slowly. After a moment of communication, some soldiers on the other side entered the city to report, and dragged it for another half an hour. The sound of a horn on the top of the city sounded. After a half moments, he saw a black and fat middle-aged man in a robe riding a horse, protecting more than 200 soldiers wearing leather armor and helmets.

"Turam, they are indeed the mission of Daqin. I met in Lanshi City last year!" When the two sides met, a middle-aged man in Daxia country dressed in an official dress from the black fat man said in surprise.

"That's good, I'm scared to death. Since it was the Great Qin delegation, I asked them to enter the city. The enemies who attacked our Daxia also came from the east. By the way, you can ask them about the origin of the enemy..."

At the greeting of Turam, all the nervous soldiers put away their weapons. After a brief exchange between the two sides, Li Shun and others were allowed to enter the city to repair. Moreover, because of their special identity, Turam also specially placed the Qin delegation in the inn, and Asia, Bajila and other groups of people were also placed together as mission personnel.

After the placement, Li Shun and others took a simple wash and dinner to rest, and then went to visit the city lord Turam.

Turam is just a very inconspicuous prince of the Daxia Kingdom. Although it occupies Shaqi City, its jurisdiction is not enough to cover the area within a radius of three or five hundred miles. The total population under its jurisdiction is less than 50,000. Moreover, because it is close to Banguilard, the closest state of the Shindu Kingdom, it is not valued by the king of Daxia.

Daxia and the Sondu people fought for hundreds of years for the vast plain suitable for cultivation due to different races. Both sides had wars all year round. However, since King Ashoka died, many city-states conquered by Ashoka in the north began to cause independence and division, and several southern countries did not accept the rule of the Mauryan Dynasty. In fact, the Sondu Kingdom is almost at a disintegration. The domestic chaos is as messy as the end of the Spring and Autumn Period in the Central Plains. Many countries demanded independent kingdoms, and the Mauryan Dynasty was actually dead in name only.

At present, the Daxia and the Sindu Kingdom are relatively peaceful. When Li Shun passed by Daxia last year, he wanted to go to the Sindu Kingdom, but heard that several countries in the northwest of the Sindu Kingdom were making independence, and the Daxia Kingdom also wanted to take the opportunity to seize Punjab. The two sides fought for a melee, but neither of them took advantage of each other, but in a blink of an eye, things were made by man, and Daxia suddenly disappeared.

The gifts brought by the delegation had been given, and Li Shun gave the enamel military kettle he used with him to Tulam. This exquisite kettle made Tulam very happy. He arranged to find some wealthy people from all over the country who had escaped and some subordinates to tell Li Shun carefully about the news he had received.

Li Shun stayed for a long time after listening.

Based on the information from these people, this enemy attacking Daxia is very powerful, with more than 20,000 soldiers equipped with stirrup saddles. Although the weapons are not sharp, the battle is extremely fierce. They burn, kill, loot everywhere they go. As a peace-loving farming civilization, Daxia has almost no power to fight back against the impact of this nomadic people. Soon many cities were lost one after another. The capital Lan family city was also captured by the enemy half a month ago. The king of Daxia and many princes and ministers were killed. Daxia had already died in name only, leaving only some small city-states in remote areas.

The components of this enemy are very complicated, including Kangju people and Western Regions people. Because the enemy appears too quickly, the people who escaped first did not understand the specific identity of the enemy at all.

Li Shun was very disappointed. Damn it was almost destroyed. He had not even figured out the identity of the enemy. This Daxia Kingdom was so miserable.

The current situation is that a large number of refugees from the Great Xia Dynasty and retreating officials and soldiers flocked from the northwest to the border of the Sindu Kingdom in the southeast, which inevitably aroused fierce opposition from the nearby Banguilard and may cause a melee between the two sides.

The location of Shaqi City is very special. A large number of refugees dare not continue to go deep into the body and come with gold and silver goods, which may attract the enemy.

So after asking about the road to the Son-Du Kingdom, Li Xin kindly reminded Turam to quickly end the chaos in Shaqi City, otherwise when the enemy arrives, Shaqi City will inevitably flow into a river of blood.

Li Xin's reminder seemed redundant to Turam. He smiled and said that the enemy would never come to Shaqi City, because he heard that the enemy had stopped in Gaofu City five days ago. The territory occupied was already vast enough, and he heard that the enemy had begun to be in chaos within the enemy. Many tribes fought against each other and began to compete for the control of the city and population. However, after Li Xin's repeated persuasion, Turam decided to arrange people to close the city gate every night to prevent enemy attacks.

Li Xin thrust his face and took Bajila and a few translators back to the inn. He informed the news of the exchange and the mission after informing him of the exchange and the mission to speed up the purchase of food and dry food. He left Shaqi City early the morning after tomorrow and continued to go south to temporarily go to the country to avoid the disaster of this war, and then make plans after the war has completely subsided.

A small city like Shaqi City seems to have no sense of security in the mission. Nearly 50,000 people were stuffed into the city, which could only accommodate 100,000 or 20,000 people. There are more people outside the city who have no money to enter the city or cannot squeeze in. The most terrible thing is that all the escaped people bring their belongings with their belongings, and more than 100,000 cattle, horses, alpacas and other cattle, horses, alpacas, and water is scattered. Therefore, Shaqi City is not only short of food but also lacks clean drinking water. In addition, in such hot weather, snakes, rats, insects and ants are rampant, and the plague may break out at any time. Even if the enemy does not kill, Shaqi City will not last long and will collapse completely at most half a month.

The next day, the delegation arranged for the interpreter and Bajila and others to continue inquiring about the news in the city. Li Shun visited Tulam again to get a more detailed map and purchased jerky and food that the delegation could eat and drink for a month.

Everything was ready, and the mission began to pack up and prepare to leave Shaqi City early the next morning and set off for Peshawar, the capital of Banguilad, the city of the Sindu city.

The force of Zhendu is much stronger than that of Daxia, because the Zhendu country has a large number of training in the war elephants. At that time, the Zhendu people relied on the war elephants to block Alexander the Great's attempt to conquer the entire Zhendu. Alexander the Great thus only occupied part of the Indus River Basin in northwestern India. After setting up a governor in Punjab, he retreated. Now Banguilar was independent from the Punjab province. It was nominally belonged to the Mauryan Dynasty, but in fact it was already in a semi-independent state.
