Chapter 579: The End of the Road (9)

The old embarrassed and angry baby brother immediately made a big noise and called on everyone present to collectively boycott Li Xun, and Li Xun stopped talking nonsense with him, and immediately let people beat him out with sticks.

Although Brother Wa lost face, but after he made such a fuss, this meeting couldn't go on, and the atmosphere at the scene began to become very dull, Li Xun didn't care, there were some things that couldn't be too urgent, so Li Xun said something simply, and soon announced the dismissal of the meeting.

"Is the meeting over?"

Back in the study, Fan Zhongyun, Sima Tu, Chen and the three of them were sitting there drinking tea, and when they saw Li Xun coming in, Fan Zhongyun asked with a smile.

"It's over."

Li Xun replied.

"The time is a little short, and it seems that the lord and they haven't said much about it."

Sima Tu felt that Li Xun and Fan Zhongyun's approach was too procrastinating, and now that they had the absolute initiative, he gave Li Xun the suggestion to directly destroy Zhan Bai, occupy this Western Regions, and then give up some interests and give up one-third of the land in the western part of the Western Regions to Hammereqi as a buffer between them and the Persian Empire, which is the safest.

However, Li Xun finally leaned towards Fan Zhongyun's suggestion, although it was a little more complicated, but it was more long-term and more rewarding.

Li Xun sat down and said indifferently: "Don't speculate for more than half a sentence, what do you have to say to these rat-eyed people." ”

Chen He asked out loud: "Great marshal, what is the attitude of Zheman, the king of the Heran Kingdom?" ”

Li Xun smiled and asked rhetorically: "This still needs to be asked, naturally he was ecstatic, when he left, he had already expressed his heart to me and was willing to serve me." ”

Chen He nodded and said: "Zheman is narrow-sighted, has no ambitions, only looks at interests, the big man has given him such a big benefit, he will naturally go all out to the big handsome, but Zhen Man is insignificant in the Western Regions, close to him alone, the effect will not be too big." ”

Fan Zhongyun said: "We are outsiders, and the countries of the Western Regions will definitely be repulsed, so it is better for us to let Zheman be our agent and push him to do things in front." ”

Sima Tu said loudly: "Lord, why bother with such trouble, now is the best opportunity to destroy Zhan Bai, once Zhan Bai is destroyed, the entire Western Regions will fall into our hands, and at that time, it is not too late to take a gentle policy." ”

Fan Zhongyun said lightly: "The blow on the ** cannot conquer the Western Regions, only the spiritual elimination can be more complete, and we can occupy the land of the Western Regions for a long time." ”

Chen He somewhat understood the meaning of Fan Zhongyun's words, and said in a low voice: "What does Mr. Fan mean is to let Zhan Bai die in the hands of his own people?" ”

Fan Zhongyun said with a smile: "Yes, the Western Regions can defeat the Dashi Empire and get complete freedom, Zhan Bai can be said to be indispensable, in the eyes of many people, he is the great hero of the Western Regions, so to a certain extent, Zhan Bai represents the spirit of the Western Regions, if we simply eliminate Zhan Bai and conquer the Western Regions by pure force, in the future Western Regions, there will be many people who will take Zhan Bai as the spirit and goal to resist us endlessly, maybe we can rely on strong military force to suppress it, But there will always be a time when the strength is exhausted, and in the end, how long will we be able to occupy the Western Regions? I don't think it will last long. ”

After listening to Fan Zhongyun's words, Sima Tu's emotions were no longer so excited, he calmed down and thought about these questions carefully.

Li Xun understood what Fan Zhongyun meant, Zhan Bai is the spirit of the Western Regions, and the spirit is difficult to eliminate, the best way is to let the people of the Western Regions eliminate this spirit by themselves, so that it can be thorough, Zhan Bai represents the Western Regions, but in the end, he was betrayed by his own people, such a spirit, who else will follow and admire?

The day after Li Xun convened the meeting of the kings of the countries, people began to come to say goodbye, they didn't want to stay here, let alone have too much communication with Li Xun, Brother Wa's words may not fully represent their intentions, but there is one thing they have reached a tacit understanding, then for Li Xun, do not oppose, do not support, treat him with indifference, as for military pressure and threats, they do not have too much worry and consideration, even if Li Xun occupies the entire Western Regions one day, so what, to govern foreign lands with brutal means, That will definitely not last long, Li Xun understands this truth, and these people from the Western Regions naturally also understand, for so many years, after the rule of several great empires, isn't it all like this?

Regarding their farewell, Li Xun did not force him to stay, but only gathered the five kings in the east again and made further plans.

Li Xun asked the kings of the five eastern countries headed by Zheman to set up an organization similar to the Chamber of Commerce, and all trade between the entire Western Regions and the Jin Dynasty, and even with foreign countries, must be completed through this Chamber of Commerce organization.

Listening to Li Xun's words, Zheman and the others were completely stunned, this is to give almost all of the foreign trade and business rights of the entire Western Regions to the five eastern countries, in the Western Regions, a country that values commerce and profits, Li Xun is equivalent to handing over the lifeblood of the entire Western Regions to Zheman and others.

First gave himself the two countries of Chen and Si, and now he gave himself the power to do business in the entire Western Regions, what else could Zhe Man say, he could only hold a very excited mood, bow down to Li Xunxing, and swear allegiance.

The kings of the other four eastern countries, who had originally made up their minds to maintain the same attitude with the northern and other countries, had almost no ability and will to resist under the pull of such huge interests, and had long since thrown those oaths of advancing and retreating together behind Jiuxiao, and also followed behind Zhiman, expressing their willingness to be loyal to Li Xun and driven by him.

It was also on this day that the kings of the five eastern countries led by Zheman jointly issued a statement, seriously slandering what Zhan Bai had done, all other bad deeds, and saying all the good things about Li Xun and the Jin Dynasty, and this statement was soon spread to the Quartet, causing a huge shock in the entire Western Regions.

Zhan Bai tore the letter in his hand to shreds, and roared angrily: "Zheman dog thief, I will definitely break him into ten thousand pieces." ”

The statement of the five eastern countries has reached Qicheng, and seeing this statement, Zhan Bai was extremely angry and hated it to the core, and Pokou scolded Zheman and others for their traitorous behavior.

Du Zhongbo sat quietly on the side, his face was extremely heavy, thinking back to everything Li Xun did after he sent troops to the Western Regions, this person is really amazing, it can be said that he is the first to plan, step by step, not impatient, step by step to force Zhan Bai into a dead end, the Jin army put a great opportunity, did not take advantage of the situation to destroy Zhan Bai, he Du Zhongbo originally felt strange, because the Jin army is really going to do this, Du Zhongbo is not afraid, Zhan Bai's prestige and popular support in the Western Regions are extremely high, as long as he does not die, it is very easy to regather a force, Here in Qicheng, it is also the last fight, Bo wins the best, if you don't win, run away, Du Zhongbo has arranged a retreat for Zhan Bai, but Du Zhongbo never thought that the Jin army's immobility is not to sit back and watch their side fight, in order to reap the benefits of the fisherman, there may be a certain factor of this, but it is by no means the point, the focus of the Jin army is actually behind the back, to win over and divide the countries of the Western Regions, with the power of the countries of the Western Regions, to eliminate Zhan Bai, let his own people eliminate their own people, this strategy is too high.
