    (Captain will take a few days off during the Chinese New Year to spend time with his family. He will resume two updates around the 7th. Please forgive me.)

    Zhou Yu's five slender fingers were just a tiny bit away from touching the majestic dragon.

    Her breathing was extremely rapid, and a pair of plump jade rabbits inherited from her mother were also rising and falling violently.

    Yan Liang could even feel the pressure that was tightly squeezing against his body and expanding.

    "The enemy is attacking at night, the enemy is attacking at night!" A high-pitched warning sound suddenly came from outside the imperial tent.

    Yan Liang has not yet reacted, but Zhou Yu retracted his hands into the blanket like a frightened little rabbit, quickly closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

    When Yan Liang opened his eyes, Zhou Yu's face was half buried in the blanket, looking like he was sleeping soundly.

    However, the blush on her face did not fade away so quickly. The wisps of blush betrayed her seemingly sleeping but actually extremely embarrassed heart.

    It seems that Shanshan Kingdom launched a night attack.

    "This group of audacious barbarians dared to take the initiative to hit the muzzle of the gun, and even dared to interrupt their own good deeds. They were really looking for death."

    Yan Liang's bloodline was gradually extinguishing, and he felt a little unhappy. He wanted to get up and go to the meeting, but he felt that just leaving like this was really not smooth.

    Looking at Zhou Yu who was pretending to sleep, a hint of evil flashed through Yan Liang's eyes.

    He raised an evil smile at the corner of his mouth, stretched out his arm, and slowly inserted it into the blanket covered by Zhou Yu.

    Zhou Yu, who was pretending to sleep, seemed not to have expected that Yan Liang would have the leisure to do such an unexpected "frivolous" move instead of rushing to deal with the enemy's night attack.

    This time, Zhou Yu's mind was agitated, and he was embarrassed and at a loss.

    Her heartbeat is speeding up.  His breathing became constricted again, and the redness that had just faded suddenly returned to his face.

    Even so, she could only endure the embarrassment and continue to pretend to sleep.

    Seeing that Zhou Yu didn¡¯t respond, Yan Liang¡¯s hand continued to fumble downwards. After a while.  His tiger claws unceremoniously grabbed a piece of warm-smelling nephrite.

    At that moment, Zhou Yu's figure trembled violently, as if having a cold war.

    The evil smile on Yan Liang¡¯s face became even thicker, and he started caressing his tiger paws wantonly.

    Zhou Yu, who was pretending to be asleep, was already filled with excitement and embarrassment.  His breathing was so rapid that he was almost suffocating, and the fragrant sweat on his body was dripping out.

    But she didn¡¯t dare to open her eyes, so she could only grit her teeth secretly and continue to pretend to sleep.

    Yan Liang played with it for a while, and his mood eased, and then he took out his hand with satisfaction.  He strode out of the tent and left.

    Although the broad and powerful hand was withdrawn, Zhou Yu was still immersed in the surging excitement of his heart, and it took him a while to come back to his senses.

    When she opened her blurred eyes.  When his vision gradually became clearer, he realized that the inner tent was empty except for himself.

    "Shh~~" Zhou Yu let out a long breath, and his delicate body seemed to have collapsed.

    After breathing for a long time, Zhou Yu's turbulent emotions gradually calmed down.

    In her mind, the image of the dragon standing tall appeared again.  It made her heart beat loudly and excitedly.

    Her hand unconsciously grasped her jade rabbit, recalling Yan Liang's tender feeling just now.

    Unconsciously.  Zhou Yu's soul was trapped in infinite reverie again, unable to extricate himself.

    ¡­¡­

    Outside the tent, Yan Liang has put on his armor and walked out of the imperial tent. Surrounding the tent, more than a thousand dragon cavalry and imperial guards are standing on guard, as if they are facing a formidable enemy.

    In each camp, the sound of warnings sounded, and amid the roar of the wind, one could vaguely hear the hooves of horses running wildly, and the roar of killing.

    In this case, someone is indeed attacking at night.

    "There is no need for the troops to panic. The Shanshan Kingdom only has ten thousand soldiers and horses. They dare not attack in large numbers. The camps will remain stationary and the enemy thieves will naturally retreat." Yan Liang was as calm as a mountain and ordered loudly.

    The order was quickly spread throughout the camps, and all 60,000 soldiers stayed at their respective posts, standing firm and motionless without the slightest panic.

    The discipline and will of the iron-blooded warriors of Da Chu who swept across the world were so firm that they could not be disturbed by just a night attack.

    The generals each command their own troops and horses and guard the camp strictly. However, if they are attacked by the enemy, they do not need to attack. They can only shoot them with random arrows.

    Soon, the camps quickly calmed down. Along the camp fence, random arrows roared out like locusts, rushing towards the Shanshan people who were hiding in the darkness.

    In the dark night, there were faint screams. It was obvious that the enemies hiding in the night were covered by the arrows of the Chu army.

     The shouts of death gradually faded away, and after more than an hour, they completely disappeared.

    After some harassment, the Shanshan army retreated.

    Yan Liangcai knew that nothing happened, so he asked the generals to continue to be on guard, but he went back to the imperial tent and rested as usual.

    When he returned to the inner tent, Zhou Yu had left on his own, leaving only traces of lingering fragrance.

    Yan Liang touched the remaining warmth on the bed. In his mind, he recalled the pleasure of playing with the warm jade rabbit just now. It was really an endless aftertaste.

    "This little girl is as good as her mother. I didn't want to take her by force at first, but now it seems that she has fallen in love with her, and it's time to take her in."

    Yan Liang recalled the wonderful excitement, and gradually gained some stability in his heart.

    ¡­¡­

    The next day, it¡¯s dawn.

    Yan Liang led his army out of the camp and personally inspected the surrounding situation. As expected, he found many corpses, as well as the footprints of a large number of camels and horses, numbering thousands.

    Based on these traces, it can be judged that the Shanshan army really wanted to take advantage of the Chu army's unpreparedness and launch a night attack.

    "Damn Shanshan people, how dare you come to die yourself and disturb my good deeds!" Yan Liang was annoyed and immediately ordered the entire army to break camp and accelerate towards Loulan.

    The 60,000-strong army then set up camp, left Devil City, marched along the river towards Loulan City.

    The army marched for several days, and every night when night came, the Shanshan army would send troops to harass and attack at night, but they could not stop the Chu army's advance.

    The army stopped advancing. According to the marks on the map, they should have reached the edge of the oasis where Loulan was located. However, what they saw in front of them still seemed to be an endless stretch of Gobi.

    Yan Liang became suspicious and rode straight to the front of the army, only to find that the road ahead was blocked by a cliff.

    The horse was stationed on the bank, and Yan Liang raised his eyes to look into the distance.  Like everyone else, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

    Directly in front of the field of vision, a huge basin appeared, filled with smoke.

    It is a huge oasis sunken in the Gobi.

    The scene in front of him was so spectacular that it was beyond words. Not only the ordinary soldiers, but also Yan Liang were surprised by it.

    even.  Even Ma Su, who had traveled all over the Western Regions and visited Loulan twice, could not suppress his surprise when he saw this oasis again.

    The basin in front of you is very large, and its overall shape is like a huge crater. Looking down from the cliff, you can only see the smoke below, almost all dense tree crowns.  It is difficult to see the specific situation clearly.

    Looking further, through the smoke that was occasionally blown away by the wind, we could vaguely see a towering city looming deep in the forest.  I think it is Loulan City.

    Looking further away, there are lines of green light like scales, there.  It should be Puchanghai.

    "I didn't expect that there is an oasis hidden in the desert of the Western Regions that is even better than the one in the south of the Yangtze River. It is really amazing and amazing." Yan Liang looked down at the oasis and sighed.

    Ma Su held the oasis and said: "This Puchanghai oasis is the largest oasis in the Western Region. Most of the oasis forests are located in the northwest. The farther you go into the hinterland, the fewer the trees are. Those original oasis forests have been cut down by the Shanshan people and turned into cultivated land.  . Loulan City and Puchanghai are located to the southeast of the oasis.¡±

    Yan Liang admired this natural wonder without much nostalgia. Under Ma Su's guidance, he led the army from the gentle slope in the northwest of the basin and followed the river into the oasis.

    "Although this oasis is large, it is still nothing compared to the forests in the Central Plains. If no one had ever lived here, this wonder would still exist thousands of years later, but it would be a pity that it would be over-cultivated.  It ended up being a desert.¡±

    In later generations, this area was a symbol of barren land. Who would have thought that at this time thousands of years ago, it was a paradise of forests and green lakes.

    People of this era may only be surprised to see the vicissitudes of the sea, but Yan Liang, a time traveler, has seen it, but how can he not sigh with excitement.

    Several avenues have long been opened in the forest, and Loulan people use these roads to communicate with the outside world.

    As Ma Su said, the further you go, the forests become sparser and sparse, replaced by patches of fertile fields and villages.

    Along the way, all the Shanshan people in the villages were deserted, apparently fleeing to avoid the war.

    After the army marched for half a day, a barrier suddenly blocked the way of the Chu army.

    The pass in front of us occupies the gap between the forest avenue and several water systems, and the situation is quite dangerous.

    "This pass is called Coiling Snake Pass, which is located in Loulan City.Barrier, as long as this place is captured, we can smoothly enter the plains and reach Loulan City.  "Ma Di pointed to Guancheng Road.

    Yan Liang raised his head and glanced at Guancheng, with a disdainful sneer on his heroic face.

    People in the Western Regions have really never seen much of the world. The height and thickness of the so-called Xiongguan Pass are at best the level of a county in the Central Plains, let alone compared with the real Xiongguan Pass in the world such as Yangpingguan and Tongguan.

    "The army will set up camp, cut down the woods on the spot, and make siege equipment. Within three days, I will capture the Snake Pass and go straight to Loulan City." Yan Liang ordered boldly with a whip.

    So, all the armies set up camp in front of the city, cutting down trees and making massive siege equipment such as ladders and chariots.

    The dense forest in the Puchanghai oasis provided enough wooden villages for the Chu army. With such sufficient raw materials, it was not a big deal to build a thunderbolt chariot and a ladder at the same time as a mere Coiled Snake Pass.

    Before we knew it, it was getting dark.

    The Chu army has finished setting up camp, and the camp is already brightly lit.

    There are many trees here, plenty of water, and the environment is quite comfortable. Yan Liang even felt a little bit like he was back in the south of the Yangtze River.

    The only bad thing is that the environment in the oasis is somewhat similar to that in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are naturally many mosquitoes, which makes the knights, who mostly come from the north, feel quite uncomfortable.

    Fortunately, Yan Liang brought many medical officers with him. Yan Liang, who had lived in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, knew how to avoid mosquitoes, so he asked the medical officers to use herbal medicine to fumigate mosquitoes and remove insects nearby.

    With the coiled snake closed, Princess Yuesha's slender figure has been standing there, watching the entire process of the Chu army setting up camp.

    Late at night, looking at the brightly lit Chu camp, Yuesha's red lips moved slightly, and the corners of her lips curled into a cold and sly smile.

    "The Chu army didn't know what was going on, but they still came to kill us. Very good, it's time to use our deadly weapons."
