Chapter 651: Choice

While the families are frantically and secretly encroaching on the southwestern countries, their desires and ambitions are also increasing. With a great appetite, they turned their gaze back to the body poison (Baiyan Dynasty) on the western side of the southwestern kingdoms.

Body poison can also be called Tianzhu, that is, India in later generations. However, at this time, a large part of the northwest of the body poison was ruled by the Kushan Empire, which has always served as a buffer zone between the Kushan Empire and the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Different from the southwestern countries of Yizhou, this area is located on the southwest Silk Road, which is an important road for foreign trade of the Han Dynasty.

In fact, this area was remembered by the Han Dynasty as early as the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, when Zhang Qian was sensitive to the importance of this area and hinted to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty about the potential value of trade in this area. At that time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who was very talented and overjoyed, was very surprised when he heard this, and decided to open up the official road from the southwest to Bactria at all costs, and the official participation in commercial trade and expand the territory.

But it's a pity that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty just wanted to forcibly conquer by force, and didn't really look at the people in these areas. After all, the profits of this kind of cross-border trade were so high that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was greedy.

The result of this practice is that although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent troops and horses to attack, because the chieftains of the Kunming, Jun and other tribes resisted desperately in order to monopolize the rich transit trade, after more than ten years, the result was only to open the road from Chengdu to the Erhai area, and the official envoys could not exceed the area from Dali to Baoshan, and could only trade indirectly with the merchants of Bactria through various tribes and India as intermediaries.

Just like Guishuang's attack on Zhang Qian, thousands of miles over the Green Mountains, the logistics could not keep up at all, and they were easily defeated in the end. At that time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was in a hurry and did not think about the problem of logistics, so he directly recruited troops in the Central Plains to go to Yizhou, and then directly crossed the difficult terrain in the southwest and forcibly marched. In the end, although there was no failure, it was difficult to go further due to logistical and topographical reasons.

Yuan Shu's current approach is much gentler than that of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. No matter what you say, build roads first, increase trade at the same time, give the other party some sweetness, and then use this to slowly erode and assimilate, and completely conquer it.

The greedy families really coveted the poison of the body, after all, the vast plains of the Indian Peninsula seemed to the families to be a huge piece of fat! Unceremoniously, such a piece of feng shui treasure land, with a little development, can support tens of millions of people, which is really too wasteful in the hands of this group of uncivilized "natives".

But Yuan Shu didn't let go, they didn't dare to do it at all. Yuan Shu's methods can be called extremely tough, no matter what the reason, who dares to cross the line, let alone the place where the body is poisonous, even the share of the southwest countries must be completely destroyed by Yuan Shu, if it is done too much, Yuan Shu will be destroyed directly.

The families are not monolithic, but now because of the problems of the southwestern countries, the competition is fierce, and there are many contradictions between them. Yuan Shu set out to clean up the unruly competitors for them, and the joy in their hearts was even greater than their resentment. After all, Yuan Shu acted justly and had not treated them badly, so they had no reason to resent Yuan Shu.

But as the territory of the southwestern countries gradually divided, they naturally began to worry about the poisonous territory. Under the overall planning and consultation of the family, a letter was secretly sent to Xun Yue's case.

"Look at it, these families really have a lot of appetite, and the southwestern countries have not yet been settled, and they are starting to worry about poisoning again." Xun Yue took the letter sent by the family and handed it to Zhuge Liang, and said with sarcasm in his tone.

"My position in Yizhou is really hot!" When Zhuge Liang heard this, he smiled bitterly while reading the letter.

"Be content! At a young age, the first time you took office, you were a big official, and the power was greater than the history of a state, and you were the only one. Being in his position and seeking his own government, this is what you should bear. Xun Yue saw Zhuge Liang, who had always been calm, rarely showed fatigue and said with a smile.

In the year of Ear Shun, he was able to meet such an amazing talent, and he could be regarded as an eye-opener. During this time, he has been playing the role of Zhuge Liang's assistant and teacher, and it can be said that he has watched Zhuge Liang grow up little by little.

From the first time he saw Zhuge Liang, two words rose in his heart, calm and wise. The face that is always calm and unfazed, and the wisdom of the pearl in his hand, the wisdom of the demon is like Jiang Shang's reincarnation, and he is completely a natural prime minister.

"But this matter should not be in my hands, this matter should be submitted directly to His Majesty, or to Mr. Zijing." Zhuge Liang said after reading the content of the letter.

"Lu Zijing is just the assassin of Yizhou, and this matter is not in his charge at all. On the contrary, you, as the person in charge of the southwestern countries, are theoretically one of the southwestern countries in this area, and it is not a violation to hand it over to you. As for handing it over to Yuan Highway, do you think they have the guts? Xun Yue chuckled.

People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, if this letter is handed over directly, no matter whether Yuan Shu has the intention of letting go of this place and loosening his mouth, it is impossible to let go. What is this? Are the families forcing the palace en masse? With Yuan Shu's character, if they don't blame them heavily, they should be thankful.

"These people are pinching me like a soft persimmon!" Zhuge Liang said expressionlessly.

"You can't say that, they have nothing else to do, this should be regarded as a temptation, to test the attitude of you, the feudal official." Xun Yue said with a smile.

He had thought about this day a long time ago, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly. Lust for profit! Zhuge Liang's position is indeed too important for the family. Even if the family knew that this move was inappropriate, they couldn't help but take action, and now it was just a small temptation, and the action would only be more intense in the future. This is also a part of Yuan Shu's preparation to train Zhuge Liang, and it is not so easy to be a qualified prime minister.

"Master Xun, do you have any suggestions?" Zhuge Liang asked.

"It's up to you to decide this matter, it's just two choices, either upload Yuan Highway, or you just don't see it." Xun Yue didn't care. He didn't come to be a nanny for Zhuge Liang, but to assist him, more professors and suggestions. If he decides everything, what else does Yuan Shu ask him to teach Zhuge Liang to do?

"Master Xun said one less." Zhuge Liang narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice.

"Oh? Do you really want to do that? You have to think about it, you can't go back after this step. The look of appreciation in Xun Yue's eyes flashed away, and he said solemnly.

"That's Ryo's best bet, isn't it?" Zhuge Liang said calmly.

When Xun Yue heard this, he smiled slightly: "Very good, just rush this sentence, you Zhuge Kongming will be the head of the hundred officials of Great Chu in the future!" ”
