In this era, the number of people and the speed of the march happen to be inversely proportional, if Wang Shuang led the Western Regions Protectorate to attack Qiuzi with five thousand iron cavalry, he still had to maintain combat effectiveness, and it would take at least fifteen days to travel a maximum of one hundred miles a day, and if he had to maintain supplies on foot, it would take at least three months.

However, after only 20 light horses and 60 horses, he marched to Qiuci day and night, and in only five days, he arrived at Yancheng, the capital of Qiuci in the west, from Jiaohe City in the east.

And the Western Regions is really called the big fist is the boss, before the Eastern Han Dynasty was unable to control the Western Regions, the turtle arrogantly killed the Han envoys, intercepted the trade road, attacked and annexed the nearby Han vassal countries, and there was a great tendency to be the boss of the heavens, Lao Tzu and the second child!

As a result, the battle of Bosten Lake and the battle of Jiaohe City, Cao Zhang leveled the two wars of the famous Cheshi before and after the Tianshan North Road, and now almost all the 10,000 households in the former country of the farming Cheshi were escorted to the mountains of Longshang as war slaves to dig for the Han people, and the nomadic Cheshi Houguo was also controlled by the Western Regions Protectorate, and the lord of the country was selected by Zhong Xuan to be pro-Han nobles, and all the nobles of each department had to send hostages to Jiaohe City, as well as the nearby mountain country, Yanqi, Xu Wei and other fifteen countries were also re-attributed to the Han Dynasty.

It was only ten days later, carrying a caravan of more than 100 heads, with Qiuci's specialty wine, refined wheat, musical instruments and other commercial goods to Cao Zhang's guilt, this time Cao Zhang's melon that has been painting cakes to quench his thirst can also be realized, and the large melons in the Western Regions that King Qiuci has stockpiled have been brought hundreds of catties.

However, Qiuzi's surrender and tribute are obviously insincere!

"Guizi envoy Bayi to meet Daduhu!"

It was really a fat and fat old man Bayi, who was also wearing a linen spire hat unique to the Cypriots, but Wang Hou's influence on this era was also revealed, and the cotton clothes he was wearing were produced in Chang'an, because the printing and dyeing embroidery technology was not available in the Western Regions anyway, and he was led to the half-renovated Jiaohe City Dadu Guardian Hall, while enduring the smell of freshly brushed lime powder, he respectfully greeted him.

"I heard that most of the people want to turn the war into a jade silk, and my king of Qiuzi is overjoyed, and the special envoy came to thank him for the peace!"

"Didn't this seat let Zeluo personally come to Jiaohe City to apologize? Why didn't he come? ”

Now that the leadership style is getting more and more, with a gloomy face, Cao Zhang asked gloomily, but he was obviously prepared before he came, and the fat old man Bayi bowed again without hurrying, pretending to have a bitter face like the real thing, and replied in that official dialect with a strong translation.

"I heard that Dadu Hu Zhao, my Wang Zeluo was overjoyed, I was going to come to see Dadu Hu in person, but the king was very old, and he was about to leave, but he was accidentally infected with the wind and cold, and he was not allowed to move forward, so he sent a small envoy to apologize!"

Are you old and occasionally feel cold? It's really ups and downs, Cao Zhang, a young man, has not been working for a long time, and he is inexperienced! This Luo is only in his early thirties, and he has only inherited the throne for a few years, and almost everyone in the Western Regions knows it, but this Bayi is talking nonsense with his eyes open in front of him, and he came here to fool his father, and Cao Zhang's head couldn't help but stretch two green tendons when he heard it.

However, he still did not get angry directly, but continued to ask with a gloomy face and a very mature politician.

"The requirements of this seat, accept my Luntai, business transit, Qiuci needs protection, don't be embarrassed, hand over the murderer of my Han envoy, these three conditions, can the king of Qiuci agree?"

"Forgive me!"

At the mention of this, this diplomatic liar from Guizi made his old face bitter again, and he was so dull that he bowed his head like the real thing.

"I have a turtle tooth breeding, the population is gradually increasing, Luntai has a large number of Chinese people farming, if it is returned to the Han Dynasty, these clansmen really have nowhere to settle!" 101 Chinese Net

"As for the transit of merchants, our king must send troops to escort them, but Qiuzi is barren, and in the past, commercial taxes were the pillars of our country, and no commercial taxes were levied, and my king really couldn't agree to them."

"As for handing over the murderer of the Han envoy! In the season of the arrival of the former envoy, our king has been dealt with strictly, and the murderer is beheaded in the city, and the Han envoy can testify! ”

Good guy, three conditions, Qiuzi did not agree to any of them, in the former Han Dynasty, the Luntai of the Han hoarding army has always been a thorn in the side of these oasis powers in the western part of the Western Regions, using this as an outpost stronghold, the Han army can easily cross the edge of the Taklamakan Desert, and its influence radiates to the countries of Khotan.

There is also commercial tax, which is interference in the internal affairs of other countries, but Wang Hou strongly supports the reactivation of the Western Regions Protectorate, and the purpose is here! It is to save the tax collected by the caravan passing through layers and reduce the cost.

As for punishing the murderer, everyone knows that it was King Qiuci who personally ordered the killing of the Han envoy Liu Beep, but he casually found a slave to kill, and his perfunctory attitude was not too obvious.

Especially after complaining, this old man Bayi actually threatened, holding his fist, he was quite arrogant and hugged his fist.

"Qiuzi is thousands of miles away, 80,000 households, more than 50,000 victorious troops, Beihe Wusun, if the Han can understand Qiuzi, the two families will turn the war into jade silk, Qiuci is willing to be the vanguard of the Han Dynasty, send troops to Khotanshache, and pacify these two rebellious countries for the Han Dynasty!"

This is a show of muscles, I have more than 50,000 troops in Da Qiuzi, and there is also the nomadic Wusun in the green mountains north of the Tianshan Mountains as an ally, and you have 15,000 people in the Western Regions, and if you don't come to fight you, you will be given face, so I will ask you if you are afraid!

In addition, Qiuci also made a good calculation, and after reaching an agreement with Cao Zhang, in the name of the Han Dynasty, he went to recruit soldiers and horses from small countries in the Western Regions, and conquered these thorns in the eyes of Khotansha Che Shule and other great powers who are also oasis powers in the Western Regions.

It's also that Dahan has paid too little attention to the Western Regions over the years, looking at this fat bar and still having two mouse's beards, it doesn't look like a good guy is winning, Cao Zhang took a deep breath, after all, he still didn't get angry, and he actually laughed extraordinarily brightly.

"These conditions, the Western Regions Protectorate can agree, but Qiuzi still needs to hand over the murderer of the Han envoy to my Han to deal with, and this seat will lead troops to Luntai, and he Qiuci King Zeluo must come to accept my Han canonization!

As soon as he heard that Cao Zhang was going to lead the troops to Luntai, Bayi, who was still arrogant just now and boasted of having 50,000 soldiers, suddenly became empty again, and he was embarrassed and bowed and asked.

"I don't know how many soldiers and horses the capital guards will bring, my lord should prepare food and salary to meet him!"

"Five hundred cavalry, five hundred servants!"

There were only 1,000 troops in total, and the fat diplomatic liar who listened to it immediately squeezed his eyebrows, smiled happily, nodded and agreed with a look of indifference.

"That's a deal!"

"Good!"

Looking at this thing bowing down, following Wang Hou and not learning well, the handsome face of the playboy couldn't help but show a murderous smile.
