Chapter 488: Just Arranged Me Like This?
"Let's go and see if we can dig up the water!" Wang Bu was hungry and sighed deeply.
In history, the Silk Road actually did not enter Bailongdui.
Rather, it is in the north of Bailongdui.
Similarly, the Silk Road is also divided into the North Road and the South Road, the North Road is out of Dunhuang, through Hami, Turpan, and then to Wushi, this road is actually easier to find.
Even if you look through a modern map, you can find it at a glance.
That's right, the G30, that is, he, a large part of the routes coincide with the Silk Road.
The South Road is the passage to the southern city of the Western Regions, and both roads bypass the White Dragon Pile.
After all, with such a terrain, it's okay to take an occasional emergency walk, but if you want to operate normally, it's still unrealistic.
Even with the military, it is unrealistic.
Of course, if water can be dug up, the king will not mind if he is not hungry.
But there is another point, maybe Lu Jia himself has ignored it, in fact, there is a section of this road that is not suitable for traffic......
Don't ask why the king is not hungry why he knows, ask is what you do!
"How are the Huns tossing over there?" Wang Bu was not hungry and then asked.
What channel is not channel, now in fact, there is no hurry.
He was more concerned about the Huns.
These people didn't have any good intentions when they went to the Western Regions.
The Han Dynasty in history fought with him for hundreds of years, but it only knocked him away from the East.
The Huns fled to the grasslands in the north of the Western Regions, where they became kings and hegemons, and lived a good life.
And Wang Buxing already regarded the Western Regions as the territory of the Han Dynasty, so how could he allow the Xiongnu to act recklessly in the north?
Besides, taking advantage of this opportunity to kill the Huns, the Han monopolized the grasslands in the north, isn't he fragrant?
Not to mention such a large territory, let's say that almost all of the best war horses in the world are produced in the alpine plateau.
"Your Majesty, this minister is not very clear, according to Kuntu, what they encountered should be the vanguard of the Huns, as for where is the main force? No one knows. Lu Jia shook his head directly.
"What about logistics? Can the Western Regions support the logistics needs of the 200,000-strong army? The king asked again.
"This ......" Lu Jia was a little difficult, if you want to say thirty or fifty thousand, then it must be possible.
But 200,000 is still the main force, even if it is Lu Jia, there has to be a question mark.
He is really not sure about this, although the logistics system of the Han army now has sheep, in fact, every meal is still indispensable for food.
Therefore, according to the consumption of 200,000 people, it is possible to supply it unless the entire southern city of the Western Regions is added.
"Your Majesty, according to the minister's knowledge, I'm afraid it's a little difficult." Lu Jia didn't dare to be too careless about this, let alone arrogantly say that it was no problem.
Otherwise, when the 200,000 troops arrived there, they were instantly stunned.
And even if he Lu Jia has three heads, it is not enough to cut off.
Now his words can decide the fate of 200,000 soldiers.
"The agricultural technology of the cities in the Western Regions is extremely backward, basically still in the era of slash-and-burn farming, completely dependent on the sky for food, the people of these southern cities will also raise some livestock to subsidize their families, while the northern country is completely dependent on grazing to survive."
"And the army's rations, if you want to solve it on the spot through the Western Regions, the minister thinks that there are probably only two ways to do it."
"The first one is to send officers over and hand over our farming technology to them, so as to increase their agricultural production, so as to feed the needs of the army."
"This second one is that we ourselves sent people over to reclaim the land, the Western Regions lack everything, that is, there is no shortage of land, the imperial court is to send tens of millions of people over, and there are also land seeds."
Lu Jia's words came out, and it instantly made people see a new continent.
That's a good thing that there's so much arable land.
Although it seems that Dahan can't use it now, it will be able to use it in the future.
And who thinks there is too much food at home?
Now the population is migrating to those newly developed counties, but according to the current population growth rate of Dahan, this increase will only increase in the future.
One day this land will not be enough, if there is a land in the Western Regions in hand, wouldn't it be beautiful?
And the migrating people were able to control it better.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that we can probe their tone first, we can teach them some agricultural techniques, but at the same time, we also have to cultivate our own farmland there, but in the early stage, the consumption of the army still has to be provided by them!" Chen Ping squinted his eyes slightly and said with a half-smile.
"If Your Majesty makes this request, they will definitely agree, one of the purposes of Kuntu, the eldest prince of Wusun, is to hope that the Han can send troops to the Western Regions to fight the Xiongnu there, and Kuntu's other purpose, in fact, he is also here to send his relatives...... Lu Jia followed.
"Sending relatives?"
"Yes, King Wusun wants to marry Princess Wusun to His Majesty......"
Wang is not hungry: ???
What's that?
That's how you guys arranged me?
Have you ever asked me how I feel?
I'll say it in the end, I'm not a stallion......
Stallion......
Stallion......
"Your Majesty, this is a good thing, King Wusun has this thought, and it is also good for the Han to enter the Western Regions next, besides, hasn't Your Majesty long ago been obsessed with the Western Regions? This is the perfect opportunity! Xiao He joked with a smile.
He heard about the scene of the Wang Bu Hungry draft back then, which was called a luxury, coming in batches, leaving in batches, and receiving in batches.
So much so that many people are sighing that among the five harems where the king is not hungry now, it is very likely that the other four are all taking up the queen's light.
Of course, this kind of joke can only be talked about in private, as far as it is on the surface.
Chen Ping and Xiao He dared to make fun of the emperor like this, and Xiao He really wanted to see this kind of scene.
You used to have a choice, but now you don't have a choice, the old man looks at what you do, don't want it, hum!
"Your Majesty, the eldest prince of Wusun, Kuntu, is actually here to propose......," Lu Jia said again.
"Impossible! It is absolutely impossible for me to marry a woman from a great Han country to a foreign country, let alone marry my own daughter, and if they want to marry, they must step on my corpse! "I heard that the bastard of Kuntu actually wanted to marry the princess of the Han Dynasty, and the king's temper exploded in an instant.
I have long said that I will not get along, and if I want to make peace, you will also send a woman to marry me.
Besides, how old are you?
Don't you have a little pressure in your heart?
The eldest princess of the eldest Han is only three years old this year, and she is married to a bad old man in her twenties?
You're thinking about fart, aren't you?
Besides, you're all too old, don't you have three wives and four concubines in the family?
You're so romantic, why did I marry you the princess?
No, even if you are as good as a jade, I will not be able to marry my daughter to you.
"Your Majesty, it's not entirely bad! If Kuntu can marry the princess of the Han Dynasty this time, and the Han army will then enter the Western Regions, then it will be of great help to Kuntu to ascend to the throne next, and we can also use this opportunity to develop Kuntu into a foreign monarch close to the Han, and at the same time let the princess influence their next generation, and even the next generation, so that after a few generations, Wusun will definitely have a sense of belonging to the Han. Chen Ping couldn't help but persuade.
He didn't know why the king was so resistant.
Anyway, Chen Ping didn't resist, and he didn't find anything unacceptable about this matter.
Who made the first person in history to propose peace with a foreign country was him Chen Ping?
Of course, the fundamental meaning of the harmony proposed by Chen Ping now is different from that of the historical harmony.
The historical harmony was to rescue Liu Bang, and at the same time, it was also to give the Huns a step down so as not to lose their face.
I have to admit that Chen Ping in history has a very accurate grasp of the thoughts of the Huns.
The Huns really wanted to retreat at that time, because if they didn't retreat, they would have to get into a bitter battle.
Although Liu Bang was surrounded, the Han army outside was about to surround them.
But just like that, the face is unreasonable, so Chen Ping's plan of harmony just gave the Xiongnu a step, and at the same time avoided the great loss of the strength of the Han army in the early Han Dynasty, and provided strong strategic support for the future obscene development.
And the real intention of the current harmony is to win over Wusun, and even control Wusun.
Although Wang Buxing was more resistant to kissing, after listening to Chen Ping's words, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Wusun in history also took the princess of the Han Dynasty, and this princess is still very famous, that is, the famous princess of anxiety.
And before Princess Jiewu, there was also a princess Xijun, but unfortunately Princess Xijun had a bad life and died not long after she got married.
However, Princess Xie Wei still had a great influence on Wusun, and at the same time played a vital role in the diplomatic relations between the Han Dynasty and Wusun.
By the way, the emperor also wants to be faced.
In history, the Han Dynasty has been with relatives so many times, and I have never seen the emperor's biological daughter marryed off.
Of course, it's not nothing, it's just a very small number of times.
"Is it to marry your Chen Pingde's daughter? Or whose daughter to marry? As long as you want, I will immediately make you a princess. Wang Bu said unceremoniously, his attitude was extremely clear, if you want to marry, marry your daughter, anyway, the princess of the royal family doesn't have to think about it.
“……”
Chen Ping was stunned.
Yes, even if the emperor agrees, what if he marries the princess?
Is it the eldest princess?
Or the second princess?
Or the Three Princesses?
The eldest princess is not clear yet, the second princess has just trotted, and the third princess has not been weaned yet!
MMPH......
How can this be done?
Is it really as the emperor said, choose a woman of the right age from the minister's family, and then make her a princess to marry Quint?
As for whether this princess is genuine or not, it doesn't matter, as long as the emperor canonizes her, then she is a genuine princess.
Tian Dan cautiously looked at Wang Bu Hunger, and said in horror: "Your Majesty, or ......"
