For these small countries, let's give them a little sweetness.

When it really comes time to make a move, it is estimated that there is no need to kill at all, as long as you swing the army in front of them and cut off their various communications, you can't stand it.

If it weren't for the inconvenience of transportation, Guo would have occupied the Western Regions a long time ago.

Traffic......

Logistics......

It is really an insurmountable knot for all emperors who have lit up the heart of colonization.

It is also an insurmountable hurdle for all those who want to follow such an emperor.

Simpi understands it very well.

"Speaking of which, your country has tried to cross Liangzhou to Luoyang more than once to ask for my Wei Tianzi?"

When he heard the envoys of Shanshan State say that they had tried to come to Luoyang to meet Wei Tianzi, Xin Bi was a little concerned.

"Yes, my country is small and the people are weak, of course, far inferior to China, so I admire China and hope that the Son of Heaven can re-establish the Western Regions Protectorate, but the road can be blocked and it cannot be done, which is very regrettable.

However, I never thought that the Son of Heaven would take the initiative to send someone back to the Western Regions, and when my king learned about it, he was so excited that he immediately asked me to send an envoy to Luoyang to meet the Son of Heaven. ”

Shanshan said with some excitement.

Simbi nodded.

"You can be regarded as having a heart, before I Wei has not put down all the rebellions, the domestic affairs have not been completed, of course it will not involve foreign affairs, and now the domestic affairs are almost over, so the Son of Heaven ordered to return to the Western Regions, you can rest assured, the Western Regions Protectorate will definitely be rebuilt."

"That's for the best."

Shanshan's face was full of joy.

Simbi thought it was funny.

"Do you really want me Wei to return to the Western Regions?"

"That's nature."

Shanshan's envoy was full of remembrance: "Back then, the Huns enslaved our people, we were miserable, we dared to be angry, and we had to hand over the food and money to the Huns, but we couldn't get anything ourselves.

Until the Son of Heaven sent people to the Western Regions, defeated the Xiongnu, and rescued us, we have today, the kindness of the Son of Heaven in China, we remember it, dare not forget, although the Western Regions Protectorate was once revoked, we never doubted that the Western Regions Protectorate would be rebuilt. ”

Simbi thought it was funny.

At the beginning, the former Han Dynasty had three links and three uniques for the Western Regions, and they should have forgotten what happened at that time, right?

Every time the former Han withdrew from the Western Regions, these small countries were inevitably stabbed in the back.

One or two followed the Huns very decisively and without hesitation.

Since you admire the Celestial Empire so much, it is only natural that you should die for the sake of the Celestial Empire, right?

Unfortunately not.

What they did was nothing more than profit, if the Xiongnu's oppression of them was not so fierce, the Han Empire might not be able to expel the Xiongnu and occupy the Western Regions so smoothly.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

Anyway, Guo Peng's command direction was also prepared for the sake of interests, and the ultimate direction was to obtain the right to rule the entire Western Regions.

The future Western Regions Protectorate is not such a simple thing.

Simbi looked at the pious messenger with a mocking look, and then led them straight to the Imperial Court.

When the Shanshan envoys crossed the long city gate and entered Luoyang City, the moment they suddenly opened up, their expressions were really uncontrollable.

Compared with Chang'an City, the wider road, the larger number of pedestrians, the buildings that cannot be seen at a glance, and those one after another, are densely scattered throughout Luoyang City.

The pavement is a stone pavement, which is hard under your feet, and it is not easy to sink into the mud like mud, so you don't have to worry about getting muddy on rainy days, and you don't have to worry about not knowing anyone when the wind blows when it doesn't rain.

Interestingly, the whole city is clean, there is no garbage on the ground, there is no smell of stench in the nose, and pedestrians, rich and poor, are at least tidy.

They are used to that smell, and they smell it that way.

But in many parts of the Wei Empire, at least in some of the important big cities they traveled along the way, along the transportation hubs, there was really no smell of this smell, and the air was as fresh as no man's land.

Although they didn't know why, it didn't prevent them from being captured by the wealth and prosperity of Luoyang City in an instant.

The permanent population of Luoyang City exceeded 800,000 at the beginning of the third year of Yande, and it is still growing, and the population of Luoyang City will continue to increase with the plan of the Great Kansai Migration.

With Chang'an and Luoyang as its twin cores, the Guanzhong region maintains a huge attraction to the population.

Guo Peng's plan was to restore the population of the Guanzhong area to the population of the former Han Guanghe six years by about 10 years of Yande, and basically restore the full vitality of the Guanzhong area.

Guanzhong has been activated, and there are huge reserves of materials and population, and then they can go to the Western Regions through the Hexi Corridor, otherwise everything will not be discussed.

Before he had time to feel the abundant popularity in this metropolis that was more prosperous than Chang'an, the Shanshan envoy group was brought by Xin Pi to the Li Fan Yuan, where they settled and lived.

"Your country's envoys are temporarily living here, if you need anything, the officials in the Imperial Court will help you, and then other officials will come over to tell you how to meet the Son of Heaven, you must study carefully, you can't slack off, let alone make mistakes, if you make a mistake when you meet the Son of Heaven, it will not be good."

Simbi warned the Shanshan envoys.

They nodded their heads to indicate that they understood.

After saying that, Simbi left happily, leaving a few officials to continue to be in charge of dealing with them.

The envoys of Shanshan Kingdom walked around the Shanshan Pavilion of the Lifan Yuan with great interest, playing with hard-won small toys like children who had just received their favorite toys.

Houses, beds, desks, cushions, brushes, ink, bamboo slips, and a small amount of paper.

To put it in vulgar terms, it is full of force, and at a glance you know that the owner here is a cultured person, who reads a lot, and is worthy of awe.

The envoys carefully touched the novelties in the Shanshan Pavilion, whether they had seen them or had not seen them, which always made them feel the strength of the Central Plains Empire.

After leaving the Lifan Courtyard, Xin Bi went to see Guo Peng, and explained to Guo Peng what he had seen and learned in the Qinzheng Palace.

"Xiaoguo, come to see me, just to ask for some benefits, but for us, it is also a win-win situation at the moment, we need their way, they need our goods, each takes what he needs."

Guo Peng and Xin Bi walked in the large square outside the Qinzheng Palace.

"Your Majesty is right, but in that case, is the treatment given to them by the imperial court a little too high? It is better to spend this kind of money elsewhere, or to control locusts, or to build water conservancy, than to give it to these people. ”

"High?"

Guo Peng smiled and shook his head: "Is this called high?" George, they just want our money, and we want all of them, give them a little wealth first, make them happy, and then take all of them, it can be regarded as benevolence and righteousness. ”

Simbi understood.

"Your Majesty is far-sighted and admired."

"Don't admire or not admire, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is on its first business trip, you have to do it, and when the envoys of the eighteen countries of the Western Regions come together, you are also responsible for managing them and coordinating them, no matter what disputes and grudges they have, you can't allow them to make trouble in Luoyang.

What do you usually do when you go out, you should also let them abide by the rules, tell them in advance what the rules are, they must not be violated, don't let them disturb the order of Luoyang, and the Lifan Yuan and ordinary residential areas should pay attention to isolation and monitoring, and someone must keep an eye on them wherever they go. ”

Guo Peng explained one by one.

"Obey."

Simbi said he understood.
