"Since the prime minister plans to let those rebellious people make meritorious contributions, it is better to leave Guo Balang behind, he is only an accomplice at most, and it is much better to put him in the river than to go back and die!"

Qin Jin groaned noncommittally, and Zhou Wenyu continued with some apprehension:

"Capturing the rebel camp, Guo Balang can also be regarded as a merit anyway, if ......"

"What if?"

Qin Jin narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhou Wenyu, which made him shiver, but he still insisted:

"If he is allowed to stay, he will definitely be of value to the imperial court!"

"How can you guarantee that he won't rebel again?"

"This ......"

Zhou Wenyu was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood the other meaning hidden in Qin Jin's question, and immediately fell to the ground.

"The last general will thank Prime Minister for Guo Balang's forgiveness!"

Qin Jin Dao:

"I know you have the heart to cherish talents, but you can't trust this instinct too much, a person like Guo Youming, since he has had the experience of rebellion, it is inevitable that the opportunity will waver again. All you have to do is prevent it from happening and don't let that opportunity arise. Otherwise, you will put your life in the hands of others, and if it is countered by others, it will be considered that the investigation is not clear, and you will take the blame, but the overall strategy of the imperial court to manage the Western Regions will suffer heavy losses because of this, and I don't know how many years it will take to recover!"

He rarely spoke so politely, but this time he returned to the east, I am afraid that he will not have the opportunity to come to the Western Regions again, and if he does not say it thoroughly, lest this general of the Guards who is at the right time and sensual will be paralyzed.

Of course, Zhou Wenyu could hear that this was the prime minister beating himself, and he was surrounded by generals and troops, and if he was not careful, he could really fall into a place of no return.

"Thank you Prime Minister for reminding me at the end, it must be as good as the mission!"

"Okay, although my words are a little more serious, but the reality is cruel, if you are careless, the enemies will not be merciful. ”

From Anxi to the west of Fars, the power of the Shenwu Army is all over the place, and it seems that the situation is excellent, but the crisis is also accompanied by it.

First of all, the Shenwu army was not strong enough and could only be scattered in a few important urban hubs, and could not form an effective rule in a short period of time. This gives some people the opportunity to covet it.

In order to avoid unfavorable situations, Qin Jin has been working hard these days, forgetting to sleep and eat, in order to arrange everything as properly as possible.

Before the Shiguo Rebellion, Qin Jin had planned to instruct Qin Yan, who was guarding Mulu City, to attack the land in the middle of the river, but now that his Chinese army had followed Li Yu's footsteps and broken into the core area of the Sogdians, along the Nami River, the richest of the nine surnames of Zhaowu, he could not miss the opportunity.

Zhou Wenyu was a lieutenant in his guards, and he rose to prominence in this operation, showing a strange side.

In this way, Qin Jincai made a temporary decision and decided to let Zhou Wenyu stay and send him a small number of soldiers and horses to integrate and surrender his troops, waiting for the opportunity to surrender the Sogdian tribes.

His supplies were to be shared between the Protectorate of Persia and the Protectorate of Anxi.

Qin and Jin only left one day for the Sogdian chieftains, and after receiving them separately, they set out with their armies and hurried to the banks of the Nami River.

The rebellious Shi Kingdom was located on the north bank of the Yaozhishui, and its main force was completely annihilated south of the Nami River, and its destruction was only a matter of time. But this illustrates a problem, the rest of the Sogdian tribes have a happy attitude towards the rebellion of Shi Guo, so they will allow Shi Guo's soldiers and horses, Li Yu's soldiers and horses to move freely in their own territory.

When Qin Jin met with the leaders of the various departments, he clearly informed that the Shenwu army would choose a place to build a city along the Nami River, hoping that the various departments could support it.

The tribal leaders put on a welcoming and supportive attitude, and the leader of Kangguo even patted his chest a little flatteringly and expressed his willingness to hand over the royal city of Samad as the seat of the envoy of the river festival.

After discussing with Zhou Wenyu, Qin Jin expressed his gratitude to the leader of Kang for his enthusiasm, saying that he would only live in the city built by Samat, and he would move away when the new city was built.

The leaders of the Sogdian tribes did not leave, but rushed with the Shenwu army to the Nami River, where they planned to hold another grand welcome ceremony for the Shenwu army.

On the way, Zhou Wenyu raised some of his doubts to Qin Jin, such as why the leader of the Kang State was willing to sacrifice the royal capital, which seemed to the rest of the Sogdian tribes to be undoubted as luring wolves into the house.

Qin Jin had also thought about this question for a long time, and the conclusion was nothing more than two points.

The first possibility is that Kang Guo is facing a severe threat from foreign enemies and needs to protect itself with the power of the Shenwu Army, so he doesn't care whether to lure wolves into the house at this time, and he has to survive before he can think about anything else.

The second possibility is more intriguing, Kang Guoren is likely to have a close connection with Shi Guo and even Li Yu in secret.

This is not groundless speculation, because the place where Li Yu's army is stationed is the territory of Kangguo, how can Li Yu be stationed here with swagger if he does not get the consent of the Kangguo people?

Whatever the reason, Qin Jin did not intend to puncture it, and before the arrival of the Shenwu Army, he did not intend to investigate the things that the Sogdian tribes had done, but from today onwards, if anyone is interested in being an enemy of the Shenwu Army, they can only be the chickens of the monkeys that night.

The leader of Kang Guo is a smart man, and he knows that the surname Zhaowu Jiu is not the opponent of the Shenwu Army even if the whole family is together, after all, even such a huge empire as the Black Clothes and Great Food has been beaten and broken apart, who can not be self-aware?

Instead of passively waiting for the other party to come to the door, it is better to take the initiative to show goodwill, and you can also have more room for maneuver.

The march took only three days, and Samajian was far away.

Before entering the city, Qin Jin and Zhou Wenyu specially made a big circle around it, and finally selected ten miles southeast of Sama as the site of the new city.

Fifty miles southeast of here is the royal city of the rice country, where the Shenwu army is stationed can easily control the two countries of Kangmi, and any party can react quickly within a day if there is any change.

The Nami River originates in the Bosi Mountains and flows from east to west through the Sogdian territories before joining the Wuhu River.

It is only in recent years that the volume of water has decreased, and the Nami River will break in the desert farther west after passing through the westernmost part of the Sogdian country.

Listening to the detailed introduction of the local geography and hydrological situation by the Kang Guo guide, Qin Jin was thoughtful, he was worried about whether this river was suitable for large-scale reclamation and resettlement, and after the situation stabilized in the future, the second step would be to migrate here on a large scale in Anxi and even Longyou, Hexi.

If the Nami River is not large enough to carry more people, there is a question mark over whether it would be appropriate to build a city here.
