"Report! Kangju and Otsuki envoys asked to see. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Biography!" Pang Long commanded, and then confessed to the messenger, "I'm sorry, I'm entangled in mundane affairs, I've already said everything I should say, please go back, and ask Yuan Gong on your behalf." ”

As soon as the envoy from Hebei left, the envoys from Kangju and the Dayue clan (Kushan Empire) came in.

"The envoy of Kangju has seen Lord Pang Long of the Heavenly Empire!"

"The envoy of the Yue Clan has seen Lord Pang Long of the Heavenly Empire!"

Pang Long raised his head from the pile of documents, glanced at the two messengers, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm a little sluggish, I can't help it, I'm entangled in mundane affairs, I'm entangled in mundane affairs." You all cut a long story short and get straight to the point. ”

"My lord, the last time you sent a message to us, asking for a westward journey, we have already thought it through."

"We've thought it through, too."

When Pang Long heard this, he was very happy, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, then let's talk about it." ”

"We are willing to provide a passage with a width of ten miles from north to south from Xizhou to the border of the country of rest." The Kangju messenger took the lead.

"We are willing to provide a passage with a width of 20 miles from north to south to ensure that the road from Dahan Xizhou to the border of the country of peace is smooth." The Yue's envoy showed no weakness.

"Good." Pang Long nodded in approval, and then asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

"We are willing to dispatch 50,000 elite soldiers to escort the caravan of the Great Han!"

"We are willing to send 100,000 elite soldiers to protect the Han caravan!"

The two faced each other again.

"My Han caravan does not need the protection of others, it has the protection of our Han army." Pang Long shook his head, and then said: "My big man doesn't need others to protect him, he just needs everyone to make money and make a fortune together." I'll make my meaning clear.

We borrowed this trade road in the form of rent, and the inhabitants and all the people in the trade road must obey the law of my Yiliang and be protected by our Han army. I will set up a metropolitan protectorate along the way and send troops to garrison it. All passing merchants must get permission from the Dahan Metropolitan Protectorate along the way. The Metropolitan Government is responsible for all military and political affairs within the trade route, and you are not allowed to interfere or interfere with it for any reason. If someone commits a traitor in the business road and violates the law and discipline and escapes from the business road, you are obliged to help arrest and bring to justice, and you must not protect and shield them. Of course, if someone violates your laws outside of business and flees to avoid trouble, we are also obliged to provide you with all necessary support. The rent of SynTao is 49% for you and 51% for us, excluding normal expenses, and the profit part is 49% for you and 51% for us. That's half of a family.

And then there's the thing about sending troops. The troops were not sent to protect the trade routes, but to help us open up the trade routes to the west. Don't say anything about 50,000, each of you will send 10,000 elite soldiers, remember that it is an elite soldier. One south and one north, from the north and south," Pang Long said here, making people hang up a map, "You two countries, send troops from here and here, and then fight all the way to the west until the sea." You shall bring your own food, grass and ordnance. After a match, kill back. ”

"What about the Han Army?" Both asked at the same time.

"Our Han army will cut through the middle and go straight to the resting capital of Taisiphon. After taking Ctesiphon, our army will also go all the way west to the shore of the sea. ”

As soon as Pang Long said this, the two were quite satisfied, after all, only 10,000 troops were dispatched, and the Han army was the main force, and it would inevitably attract the army of the resting country, so that the pressure on both sides of them would be much less.

"My lord, in fact, the rest of the country has been in contact with the Han before, and they should have no intention of being an enemy of the Han. Do you want to consider sending someone to talk to them first, salute first and then soldier? The envoy of the Yue Clan proposed.

"Talks are definitely talks. However, if we talk to them now, talk about leasing business and the like, the price will definitely not be much better, we must fight a dozen first, and then we can talk about it. In the name of pursuing the Huns, let's fight first. ”

"Your Excellency is wise!" The two messengers immediately offered their sycophants.

Sent away the envoys from Hebei, and met with a few envoys from Kangju and Dayue's clan, Rao is Pang Long is so young and vigorous, he can't help but be a little exhausted, no wonder the teacher wants to be lazy every day, it's really tiring.

Next, we have to think about arranging matters such as marching westward, and the army is marching westward, and we must deal with Kangju, Dayue, and Anxi and other powerful countries, and we can't make a mistake.

When Pang Long was buried in the briefcase, Zhen Mi quietly walked in and served a cup of tea.

"Big brother, don't work too hard."

"Hey, it's you, why are you here?" Pang Long took the teacup and showed a relaxed smile.

"Big brother, you've worked too hard."

"Alas, I used to always complain that the teacher was slippery, unwilling to take responsibility, pushing everything to the people below, and pushing everything to Xu Yuanzhi and not caring about it, but now I find out that it is really difficult for people to sit on the top. I'm worried about everything, I can't rest assured about anything, and I'm always worried that they won't be able to do it well, and I have to take care of it all, and I have limited energy and lack of skills. As he spoke, Pang Long's head sank into the pile of briefs again.

"It's a pity that I'm just a weak woman, and I can't help my big brother."

"It's okay, you just have to be fine." Pang Longtou didn't raise his head, and responded casually.

"I'm going back." Zhen Mi whispered.

Pang Longtou didn't raise his head, and responded casually, "Oh, good, good." ”

"People say they're going back!" Zhen Mi kicked the table leg and shouted.

Pang Long heard it clearly this time, raised his head and said, "You haven't left yet, didn't you say you want to leave?" ”

"I mean, I'm going back!" Zhen Mi stomped her foot angrily.

Pang Long reacted a little at this time.

"Go back? Where to go? Liangzhou? Or Hanzhong? ”

"People are going home, go back to Jizhou!"

"Back to Jizhou?" Pang Long finally put down the official document in his hand, and said with some surprise: "Back to Jizhou? What are you going back to Jizhou? Maybe there's going to be a fight soon, what are you going to do now? I also said when to take your mother over, it's too dangerous for you to go back at this time. ”

"Brother Pang Long, I know that you can't rest assured. My mother sent a letter saying that she was sick and missed me, and I had to go back to see her. When my mother recovers, I will take her with me, and you can't leave us alone then. Zhen Mi pulled Pang Long's arm and said coquettishly.

"Okay, just take it all, who knows what the situation will be in Hebei in the next few years, the sky is high and cloudy here in Xizhou, at least you will feel better when you come here, and you won't get sick." Pang Long patted Zhen Mi's hand, and then shouted outside, "Qiu Jie! ”

"Here!" Qiu Jie appeared in response.

"Arrange two capable brothers to escort the little lady of the Zhen family back, and you must ensure safety."

"Don't worry, boss!"

"Don't bother so much, I'll just go with the Zhen family caravan and the envoys from Hebei."

"It's okay, just let them go on a yo-yo trip, and besides, I also want to know what the situation in Hebei is." Pang Long vaguely felt that something was not right, but he didn't think about it carefully.

"Oh well. I thought you were all for the good of others, who knows what you are still thinking about in the world. Zhen Mi pouted, angry, shook his hand and ran out.

"Look, why don't you send two brothers to follow and go back to Jizhou with them, and take a look at the situation in Jizhou by the way." Pang Long glared at Qiu Jie angrily.

"No!" (To be continued.) )
