The Green Ridge can be described as a dividing line and a strategic location, and if the countries that control the Green Ridge can use it as a base to prevent the extension of the Bada forces to the east, and the Great Cadres can also use this as a base to look at Central Asia.

Zhao Junsheng pondered for a moment and asked, "What the prince said can be discussed, what kind of talk is it?" ”

"The Qianguo can still collect tribute from the Lingling countries every year, but the Lingling countries are garrisoned by me, and the expenses required by the garrison are borne by the Lingling countries!"

Zhao Junsheng politely refused: "The annual tribute of the Green Mountains countries adds up to a small amount of money, and my royal family really does not lack such a little money!" ”

For the Great Qian, the tribute is just a formality, but it is not dispensable, what the Great Cadre really cares about is the suzerainty of the Green Ridge States, if there is no suzerainty, what can the little tribute of the Green Mountains do every year? Without suzerainty, it is impossible to garrison troops, and not being able to garrison troops is equivalent to losing control of the strategically important country of the Green Mountains.

In the past, the forces of the Great Cadres had not yet entered the Western Regions, and the Hinda people also focused on the Persian Empire in the Middle East and the Sogdians who suppressed the Sogdians at home.

Now it is different, the great cadres rose up and expanded their power to the Western Regions, which infringed on the interests of the Bada country, of course the Bada people did not do it, they also knew the strategic importance of the location of the Lingling countries, if the Lingling countries were occupied by the Qianguo, then the cadres could rush down from the Lingling to attack the Bada country.

Wen He said: "Your Majesty should know that it is impossible for our country to give up the attack on the countries of the Green Mountains, and the occupation of the countries of the Green Mountains by the Qianguo is very unfavorable to our country, and the border towns of our country are easily attacked by the cadres!" ”

Zhao Junsheng shook his head: "Is the prince a bully who doesn't know the living habits of the people?" Even if our cadres attack the cities of the country, it will not have any impact on your people at all, and your strength will not be damaged in any way, you can leave if you want, and stay if you want! ”

"Besides, the country is thousands of miles away from the center of my great cadres, and it has been a long journey for our cadres to arrive in the countries of the Western Regions. If we don't do business with the country, both sides can make money and cooperate for a win-win situation! ”

Wen He asked rhetorically: "Since Your Majesty said so, why did the cadres enter the Western Regions?" It's still a business, and there is no need for the cadres to enter the Western Regions to clash with us, so why don't Your Majesty order the cadres in the Western Regions to return to Chang'an, how about it? ”

Zhao Junsheng's face was serious: "I hope that the prince can understand that even if my cadres did not enter the Western Regions, the country of Bada could not control the countries of the Western Regions, and the reason why our army entered the Western Regions was because the countries of the Western Regions were in chaos at that time, making the trade routes impassable, and after opening up the trade routes, not only can my goods be sold to the Western Regions, Bada and Persia, and even exported to the distant Western Eastern Roman Empire, even if it is your Bada country, it is also a great benefit, and the commercial taxes paid by the passing caravans, The supplies they bought along the way have already made the country a lot of money, right? ”

Wen He's arrogance was very arrogant, "Even if there is no dry army, I can restore order in the Western Regions to a good state, and I can also keep the trade routes open!" ”

Zhao Jun was very angry, "It seems that Prince Wen He has no intention of discussing the affairs of the Green Ridge Kingdoms at all, it is not early today, please go back, the prince still has a lot of state affairs to deal with." Come on, send Prince Wenhe out of the palace! ”

Two eunuchs stepped forward, "Prince, please!" ”

Wen He saw that Zhao Jun was born with a real character, and immediately changed his attitude, "Your Majesty forgives the sin, let's talk about the affairs of the Lingling countries, as long as the great cadres form an alliance with me and reject Persia, our country can give up the suzerainty of Pushan, Thirsty Pantuo, and Siju Banguo, and only have the suzerainty of the bowl and the country, and the power of the country of Mo!" ”

Zhao Junsheng didn't want to be led by Wen He, a young man, and waved his hand: "This matter will be discussed another day, the prince will go back first!" ”

A few armor soldiers outside the door walked in with their swords, Wen He saw this posture, the hero did not eat the loss in front of him, and retreated after saluting.

After Wen He left, the national teacher Dongfang Chen walked in from outside the main hall and saluted Zhao Junsheng: "Your Majesty didn't have a smooth conversation with Prince Ouda?" ”

Zhao Junsheng got up and walked a few steps, "Don't look at this Wen He who looks like a barbarian, but he is actually very shrewd, when he talked to me about the ownership of the Green Mountains just now, he even coaxed and deceived, threatened, intimidated and other means one after another, he saw that I had a tendency to go crazy and immediately shrank back, giving a little sweetness!" ”

Dongfang Chen was stunned, "I didn't expect this Prince Wenhe to be not to be underestimated!" ”

"I found him acting like a wolf! National teacher, it seems that we have to re-plan our relationship with the Bada Country, especially on the issue of dealing with the Green Ridge Countries, if we can easily return the Green Ridge Countries to the Bada Country, I am afraid that the Bada people will not only not appreciate it, but will also think that I am weak and can be bullied! ”

"Even if we had reached some agreement because we wanted to befriend the Oda people, do you think they would really keep the agreement? The Bada people have risen from barbarism, they rely on pure force, and if they deem it necessary, they will certainly not hesitate to turn their backs on us, they only worship force! ”

Dongfang Chen asked, "Then what does Your Majesty mean?" ”

"Don't give up the green mountains, but also build forts and Xiongguan dangerous passes there, and send heavy troops to defend them!"

Dongfang Chen was a little surprised, "I'm afraid that the people won't agree, right?" ”

Zhao Junsheng sneered: "What if you don't agree?" I believe they will agree to stop our alliance with the Persian Empire! And they won't really agree, once our relations with the Persian Empire deteriorate, they will send troops to attack the Western Regions! Therefore, we need time to build forts, Xiongguan and dangerous passes, and keep them west of the Green Ridge before the Bada people send out their troops! ”

Dongfang Chen was a little worried: "Your Majesty, the pass and the fort can't really stop the enemy, if they are determined to attack the Western Regions, they will definitely try their best to bypass the Xiongguan Pass!" For example, they can borrow from the Wusun Kingdom or the Dawan Kingdom! ”

"You're right, the Tianshan Mountains, the forts and the passes can't really block the people in the west of the Western Regions, this can only delay some time, what we have to do is to destroy the Southern Dynasty as soon as possible and avoid worries!"

Dongfang Chen thought of the Persians again and asked, "What is Your Majesty's attitude towards the Persians?" Really promised the Hinda not to ally with the Persians? ”

Zhao Junsheng said with a smile: "The Persian Empire is a strong country, and most of the goods sold abroad by our cadres are sold to Persia. I intend to make an alliance with the Persians in the open, and a secret pact with the Persians! ”

Dongfang Chen was dumbfounded, "Your Majesty, this is not appropriate, neither the Persians nor the Persians are fools, our practice of currying favor on both sides will only be disgusting!" ”

"No, you don't understand, the national teacher, the Bada people don't want to fight with us for the time being, and the Persians can't do without us, and we can't do without Persia, we need to sell our commodities to Persia, Persia needs our commodities, the two sides are mutually beneficial, once hostile, it will be a huge loss to both our Daqian and Persia!"

"The news that we have secretly concluded a secret treaty with the Persians must not be told to the Persians, and the Persians will not be stupid enough to leak the news to the Persians, who may know this through other channels, but will they mind? Definitely mind, so what? As long as we don't send troops at the same time as Persia, the Bada people won't turn against us! ”

Hearing this, Dongfang Chen took a step back and arched his hand: "Your Majesty is wise!" ”

In anticipation, the polo team competition of the missions of various countries is finally about to open, and the official has opened a special handicap for this purpose, betting on which team will eventually win the championship, whether the three teams can live in the top three, and even bet on what kind of game results the two teams can play, many people buy a bet.

Someone opened a handicap privately, but was soon arrested by the government and the officials, and all the gambling funds were confiscated.

There are special venues for polo team competitions, the first venue is the Royal Racecourse, which can accommodate 30,000 people at the same time, and some of the largest horse races are held here, and the second venue is located at the Royal Polo Ground, which is in the Forbidden Garden.

The Jingzhao government also decided to build a large polo field in Chang'an City, and construction has begun so that future polo matches will be held here.

In the year of the opening of the polo tournament, the 30,000-seat Royal Racecourse was full, and the tickets were divided into consistent, 300, 100, and 500, all of which were sold out, and even the seats three days later were sold out, and some people could not buy tickets for the last few days, so they bought tickets for the last few days.

The members of the Qianguo Polo Team are all elites selected from the various polo teams in Chang'an City, and the name of this polo team is the Qianguo Polo Team.

Before the founding of the country, Zhao Junsheng had organized several polo teams in the army, and let the polo team play a few games in the interval between training to adjust the tense training life.

The Persians also prefer to play polo, they learned it from the Roman Empire, and their level is also good, but the rules of each country are slightly different, but this time it is the Qianguo that formulates the rules of the game, which is definitely beneficial to the Qianguo polo.

Whenever there is a game in which the Qianguo team participates, the stands are always full, and these people are all here to cheer for the Qianguo polo team, and as long as the Qianguo team scores a goal, everyone is happy.

The polo match lasted for more than ten days, and the Qianguo team became the last official army without any suspense due to its professional training and home advantage, the Persian team was technically much stronger than the other teams, and ranked second, and the third place was the Dongle people, who killed the Bada team to win the third place.

Zhao Junsheng personally presented medals and bonuses to the three polo teams that won the top three, and the stadium was thunderous for a while.

After presenting the prize money and medals, Zhao Junsheng waved his hand to all the spectators, and left the racecourse through the special passage.

"Your Majesty, we arrested Feng Yu, after checking and removing the disguise on his body, and after finding someone to identify him again, people who knew him said that it was not that person who was not Feng Yu, and we interrogated the fake Feng Yu, and he didn't know where the real Feng Yu was!"
