Chapter 463: Lu Jia's News (Second Update)

"What? Why did you ask so much of me? If this is a bad one, won't I be ruined? ”

Half a month later, Liu Wei received Yinggao's reply in Bushan County, for the cautious him, reading Yinggao's letter such a big thing, he almost never did it himself, and he was not the only cronie sent by Yinggao to Guilin County, and there was also a Sun Qian who might be more trustworthy than him in Yinggao's heart.

So every time he discusses a major matter, Liu Wei almost always pulls Sun Qian, and he doesn't know anything only himself, because he doesn't have much ambition in the first place, he just wants to do the task assigned to him by Yinggao peacefully.

After reading Yinggao's letter, Liu Wei handed the letter to Sun Qian, who was sitting in front of him, and then said to Sun Qian with a sad face.

After so many years of exercise, Sun Qian can not only cope with the work of the county order, but also know most of the common small seals under the drive of his daughter.

"Your Majesty would actually let you say such a rebellious thing in front of Gongzi Hu Hai? It's ......"

"Yes, the gentleman meant to use me as bait, wanting to see if Gongzi Huhai was against Daqin, but this matter is very difficult to do, not to mention that once Gongzi Huhai has no antipathy towards Daqin, wouldn't I be lifting a stone to shoot myself in the foot this time? Even if Gongzi Hu Hai really has some problems as I guessed, once I show too much, I don't believe it, but when the time comes, it will ruin the king's strategy, this matter is really quite tricky, if there is no suitable opportunity, it will definitely not work! ”

Liu Wei's mind is still much better than Sun Qian's, and he knows what Yinggao means after reading Yinggao's letter.

But this thing, it is a thing that sounds easier said than done, he wants to try Hu Hai out, first of all, he has to make Hu Hai believe in the intention he shows, and he has to be invulnerable, so he needs a chance.

"Since the monarch personally instructed this matter, and there are me and Fusu Gongzi who can testify to you, there is no need to worry about this posthumous matter, and the difficulty now is how to make Hu Hai Gongzi believe that you really have some objections to Daqin."

Both of them knew the difficulty of this matter, so the two of them discussed in Liu Wei's mansion for an hour or two before they dispersed, although in the end Liu Wei's expression was still a little bit low, but it was no longer as panicked as when they first saw the letter, obviously, the two of them found some way.

Yinggao has no time limit for Liu Wei's requirements, just let him make his own judgment according to the situation at the time, so Liu Wei naturally can't run directly to Hu Hai and cry and shout to scold Yinggao, he also has to find some opportunities, at least Hu Hai has to take the initiative to find himself over, because Hu Hai has encountered some problems in governing Xiangjun before, he will go to himself to ask for advice, so there will definitely be such an opportunity in the future, right?

As the days passed, it didn't matter if Liu Wei had a suitable opportunity to win high, and after Lu Jia set off from the outskirts of Xianyang City with a team of more than 1,000 people for more than two months, their first news finally reached Xianyang Palace.

Although the straight-line distance between the land of Bashu and Xianyang City is not so far, according to Yinggao's requirements, once the news of Lu Jia reaches Bashu County, it is definitely necessary to use the fastest fast horse, change horses halfway without changing people, and send them to Xianyang Palace directly in front of him at the fastest speed.

This letter was written by Lu Jia himself, although Yinggao was very excited, but the content of this letter was almost as he imagined in his heart, and it could almost be regarded as a letter to report peace.

According to Lu Jia, if nothing happened to him, he would write a letter every month, so that people would return to Bashu County according to the same way, on the one hand, to report their situation and harvest in the past month, and on the other hand, it was natural to go to Bashu County to supplement some things that they urgently needed, which was a matter of killing two birds with one stone.

Seeing Lu Jia's plan, Yinggao really nodded and admired sincerely, these were all things that he didn't ask Lu Jia to do before, but now Lu Jia has done it, which shows that Lu Jia is really willing to do a good job of exploring the barren land this time, such a person, as the leader of this operation, can undoubtedly greatly enhance the success rate of this activity.

Although it was just a routine report of safety, Yinggao still saw something in Lu Jia's letters that made him very happy, that is, although the climate in that barren land was really not good, sometimes it was windy, sometimes it was full of smoke and dust, and according to Lu Jia's prediction, in two months, the climate here would definitely be even worse.

Fortunately, they were prepared in advance and prepared a large number of cotton clothes, according to Lu Jia, there should be no large-scale frostbite.

Not only that, but in the place about twenty days away from the Bashu march, Lu Jia found a suitable place for grazing, although this land is not very large, but it is enough to accommodate a small Xiongnu tribe, and the terrain is hidden, there is a water source, and there is a pasture.

He had already left dozens of people and two craftsmen behind, and used this place as the first point of contact, and after the person who sent the letter back here to replenish his strength, he rushed to Bashu, and then to Xianyang, which obviously reduced the possibility of accidents.

The most important thing is that after the letter sent back to Yinggao, Lu Jia attached a topographic map of the places he had explored in the past month, and what kind of landmarks were in which direction and how far away from Bashu, all of which were presented in front of Yinggao in the map.

According to Lu Jia, sending this map to Yinggao can make him more courageous to explore forward, even if he encounters an accident on which part of the road, the people sent by Yinggao can continue to explore according to the map he draws, thus saving a lot of time.

Lu Jia's spirit is indeed very grateful to Yinggao, he knows that there are definitely not many such people in this era, most of the officials are obedient, they are stupid and loyal and do not know how to be flexible, and officials like Lu Jia who have courage and ideas are really a little too few.

Yinggao has a strong premonition, that is, this unprecedented road is likely to open up in Lu Jia's hands, if Lu Jia can't find the land passage from Daqin to the Peacock Dynasty, then he can send another person enough.

After receiving Lu Jia's letter, Yinggao was not idle, but transcribed Lu Jia's letter, and then sent someone to send it to the Xiongnu royal court outside the Great Wall overnight, now the Xiongnu and Daqin are already allies, so Yinggao sent people to the Xiongnu It is also much more convenient, just find a nearby gate to go out, and after arriving in the territory of the Xiongnu, as long as you make clear your identity as the messenger of Daqin, the Huns will never hate you as before.

When Xiang Yu saw the transcribed letter sent to him by Yinggao, he was also greatly relieved, who were the five hundred men he sent, and they were also the Jiangdong children who had followed him all the way since Jiangdong was defeated, and they were cronies that he could not find in his life.

When he told Ying Gao that he would send these 500 people, it was also considered to let Ying Gao see his sincerity, Xiang Yu is most worried about now, undoubtedly whether these 500 people can come back with all their beards and tails, although Daqin also sent 500 cavalry, which is known as the most elite cavalry, but Daqin's 500 people have been lost, and there are still thousands of people who can come up, if his 500 people are lost, then there will be no more......

Seeing the contents of this letter, Xiang Yu found that the existence of alien races on the land he was most worried about had not happened, and that land seemed to be quite rich in products except for the terrain and climate.

This made Xiang Yu think, even if one-fifth of that land is suitable for grazing or something, his territory will not be the same as now, although the current territory is not small compared with the previous Xiongnu, but compared with Daqin, it is still a small thing.

But if he really got half of the barren land, the Xiongnu would have almost several times more land that could be grazing, so that the food of the Huns would increase exponentially, and for Xiang Yu, the exponential increase in food meant that the Huns could not control their birth for a long time, and they would have enough goat milk and would not starve to death if they gave birth to many children.

Of course, Xiang Yu also has an idea in his heart that has never been published, that is, whether there will be a suitable place for cultivation on that land.

He was from Jiangdong in Daqin, and he came with a full 10,000 Jiangdong disciples, so he naturally knew how to farm, and after they arrived at the border of the Xiongnu, they found that the reason why many tribes of the Xiongnu did not have enough to eat was that their food source was only grazing, and they did not plant any grain.

Therefore, according to Xiang Yu's original idea, if the grain of Daqin can be planted on the territory of the Xiongnu, it can almost make the Xiongnu progress for a whole era.

But Xiang Yu and the others were finally disappointed to find that the land on the Xiongnu territory was not at all the same as the place where Great Qin was rich in grain, and such land could not grow any grain at all.

And now, the discovery of this new land has rekindled Xiang Yu's hope that once the Xiongnu can achieve the common development of crop cultivation and grazing, this will be a new era, and even Xiang Yu believes that in a few years, the Xiongnu will no longer have to live in the shadow of Daqin.

"Young General, this letter should not have been forged by the emperor of Great Qin in order to deceive the young general, right?"

When Xiang Yu showed this letter to several of his cronies, Long Ji, who has always dared to speak out, raised his concerns again, when Shouchun was fighting with the Great Qin soldiers led by Yinggao, in Long Yu's opinion, Yinggao used tricks to trap Xiang Yu, otherwise Xiang Yu would never have gotten such a fiasco.

Since that fight, in Long Ji's heart, Ying Gao Ji has never held back any good fart, in his opinion, when Xiang Yu met with Ying Gao before, he should have slashed Ying Gao with a knife, although in the end, under Xiang Yu's order, Long He closed his mouth, but that didn't mean that he thought so in his heart.

"If Emperor Daqin doesn't want to tell me the true situation, he can keep quiet, why do you want to copy a copy of this letter to me? If you talk any more nonsense, I will send you to the desolate land, and see what you have to say. ”

For a henchman like Long Ji, Xiang Yu naturally wouldn't really send him to that barren place, but at this time, he could naturally startle Long Ji somewhat, and naturally he wouldn't say such a thing against Yinggao again.

"The 80,000 elite cavalry selected from the various tribes before the rapid training, these 80,000 people are the capital of our possible expeditions in the future, the soldiers are expensive but not expensive, my Hun cavalry is not able to carry a large amount of grain and grass, and the mobility is the magic weapon of our army, you just train the soldiers, and when you really need to go to battle, I will find a way to upgrade the equipment of my Hun cavalry."

"Young General, once they really find the entrance to the Peacock Dynasty in the barren land, I, the Huns, will really send 80,000 troops to cooperate with the Great Qin's naval army to attack the Peacock Dynasty? Once Daqin's naval army is unfavorable, it will be difficult for our army to get benefits! ”

According to the current situation, Xiang Yu just believed in Yinggao, but 80,000 elite soldiers is already a lot of money for the Huns, not to mention how long it took to recover after that defeat, once the 80,000 elite soldiers did not have the Huns but had nothing, if nothing else, Xiang Yu's status in the hearts of the Huns would not know what to look like.

"It's okay, I'll reply to the emperor of Great Qin today, and I'll give him a problem to see if this guy is sincere or false about the alliance."
