Chapter 733: Shadows

On that day, the wind was mild, and the envoys from all the countries of the Western Regions flocked to the former Cheshi country.

As the host, seeing that his country has become the focus of the countries of the Western Regions, the king of Cheshi Country is also quite excited. Within a few days, large areas of houses were cleared for these people to live in, and patrols were strengthened.

With the 3,000 Flying Bear Army of Da Chu here, the king of Cheshi is very assured of the safety of the border. In this case, if anyone dares to attack, it is completely a slap in the face of Da Chu, and he wishes that someone would do so. Therefore, without any scruples, he removed a small half of the border guards, and put heavy troops in the city to bluff.

Relations between the countries of the Western Regions are not very harmonious. They who started from the windfall of the Silk Road are completely competitors. Countries are vying for a share of the profits available on the Silk Road, fighting wars, secretly cultivating horse bandits and robbing, etc., all kinds of means are used to the extreme. Over the past few hundred years, the relationship between them has long been regarded as fire and water.

Originally, they were supposed to pinch as soon as they met and never get along, and they were summoned by Yang Xiu on behalf of Da Chu this time. Intimidated by the might of Great Chu, they didn't dare to do anything at all. Even the former king of the Cheshi Kingdom himself did not dare to do anything to the dead Cheshi Country, let alone others. In case Da Chu is angered, the three thousand iron horsemen will be dispatched, and there will be no place to cry if he can.

"Your Highness the King, have all the people from all over the world arrived?" Yang Xiu, who was sitting on the main seat, didn't think about the fact that he was just a guest, took a sip of tea gently, held the teacup in his hand, and asked the king of the former Cheshi Kingdom on the side.

The former king of the Cheshi Kingdom looked flattering at this time, without the slightest demeanor of the lord of a country, and said: "Your honor, all the countries in the Western Regions have arrived, even Kangju and Dawan have arrived. ”

"That's good, I originally thought that there would be a few yang and yin violations, so that my Da Chu would stand up for power." Yang Xiu chuckled, his face was calm, but his tone exuded a chilling coldness.

The former Che Master King couldn't help but be clever, and secretly complained in his heart. The captain in front of him was really too majestic, and he couldn't even raise his head in front of a king in front of him. It's still another Lord Changshi who came to be kind, thanks to the Lord in front of him this time who is only leading the matter behind the scenes, and it is the kind Lord Changshi who comes forward, otherwise the countries of the Western Regions will probably be unlucky this time.

He didn't know that the adult in front of him was not a majestic person at all, and all this in front of him was deliberately pretended.

Yang Xiu and the others had already thought about their respective division of labor and positioning when they came to the Western Regions. Carrots and sticks, one singing red face and one singing white face, although this method is old-fashioned but very practical.

Needless to say, the position of the red face must be held by Zhuge Jin. With the ability of this goods, giving him a certain amount of time is to let the kings of the Western Regions do it with their hearts and lungs for him, and this charm value has exploded.

And the rest of the white face position can only be placed on Yang Xiu. After all, Xu Shu is an impatient, so he doesn't bother to pay attention to these idle things, and focuses on military strategy.

Yang Xiu is best at figuring out people's hearts and penetrating human nature, although he is not a majestic and upright person, but according to the psychology of Tian Feng and others, it is more than enough to deceive these kings of the Western Regions.

Relying on the deterrence of Great Chu, under the prestige of Yang Xiu and Li Dao and Zhuge Jin's long-sleeved dancing, all the countries of the Western Regions should surrender again.

They were originally vassals of the Han family, and the reason why they are out of it now is entirely because of the chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty did not have the time to deal with them, in fact, they were still happy to sit back in their positions. After all, this kind of life is more stable, and there is no need to worry about Guishan resting in peace one day to attack them on a whim, and there is no need to worry about the domestic turmoil and inability to suppress it. Yang Xiudai Da Chu said that all this is not a problem, and Da Chu is happy to help them with these favors, so that they can sit back and enjoy themselves.

For both sides, this is completely a matter of willingness to fight and suffer. These kingdoms established by making a fortune by doing business, the kings of the past dynasties were not ambitious figures, and the most in their eyes was the little benefit of commerce and trade, which was not important to Da Chu at all.

At the same time, Yang Xiu proposed to increase the scale of trade on the Silk Road, which immediately won the unanimous support of the countries in the Western Regions. The Silk Road is simply their lifeblood, and it is a blessing for them that Da Chu is willing to expand its scale, and all countries can get more benefits.

After several days of negotiations on the taxation, security, and distribution of benefits of the Silk Road trade, Yang Xiu finally decided on the specific charter. At this point, the interests of the countries of the Western Regions were completely tied to the Great Chu, and at the same time, the Great Chu also occupied a dominant position among the countries.

Yang Xiu's trip can be described as unusually smooth, and he easily completed the task of recovering the countries of the Western Regions. But at the same time, the Northern Xiongnu and Guishan also set their sights on the Western Regions Protectorate.

……

Jinling, the current capital of the Great Chu State. Rich and prosperous, spectacular and solemn, unprecedented.

The city was full of merchants, scholars, and people, and there was a commotion. In the rational planning layout, business districts, people's residential areas, family gentry residential areas, factories, academies, research institutes, etc., are lined up one after another.

However, there is also a shadow behind this prosperity.

After defeating Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and his think tank, who had been in Qing and Xu for a long time, left only Tian Feng in charge of the two prefectures after stabilizing the situation and pushing the development of the two prefectures on the right track, and the rest returned to Jinling.

"This time there are a lot fewer people."

In a remote corner of Jinling Academy, Jia Xu, who was hidden in the shadows, looked at the large classroom not far away and muttered.

Next to Jia Xu, there was a kind old man standing with kind eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Now that Da Chu is prosperous and Your Majesty is Shengming, there are many fewer children with tragic fate, isn't it a good thing?" ”

The politics of Dachu are people-oriented, and this courtyard is extremely remote and inconspicuous in Jinling Academy. Most of them are children up to 10 years old.

These children are orphans. Yuan Shu attaches great importance to these children who have nothing to rely on, and there are special schools in Dachu to collect these orphans and teach them some basic knowledge for free. And those who are gifted or resolute among these orphans will be sent here after a period of observation and audit, and after understanding their hearts.

Here they will receive a better education and, at the same time, a more powerful "brainwashing". They will become the most loyal fans of Yuan Shu and Da Chu.

"Dead man", this is an extremely important existence in the family. In the same way, he is an indispensable presence as far as a country is concerned. And the one who was appointed by Yuan Shu to select and train dead soldiers for Da Chu was Jia Xu.

These "dead soldiers" are like spies of a certain period, but they are more widely useful. Some of these dead soldiers will appear on the bright side, becoming Yuan Shu's ubiquitous eyes, supervising the entire Great Chu; Some will hide in the shadows, find out the news, and pass on information; Another part is to infiltrate other countries, or join the military or politics, and become the shadow son of Da Chu.

During the war, orphans were everywhere, but with the development of Dachu in recent years, the orphans who were originally as inexhaustible as leeks have been greatly reduced, so that Jia Xu's work has been somewhat affected.

"It's a good thing that there are fewer children, but Da Chu needs the existence of this kind of person." Jia Xu said in an indifferent tone: "They will become an incomparably sharp dagger for Da Chu!" ”
