Chapter 404 [Expedition to Persia II]
The Zhou royal family, who had not moved for a long time, suddenly showed its huge head like the eighth king out of the water, and a 'decree' written by the Son of Heaven was more accurate than the colored balls thrown from the embroidery tower, and it smashed on the 'head' of the Qin State in front of the eyes of the princes. 'Honoring the king'? Since the Spring and Autumn Five Tyrants, it is rare to see this kind of thing, is the poor King Zhou crazy? Or is Lao Qin not ready to live? It seems that the Qin State should not be viewed like this, there is a rich man in the country now, and he is also the richest man in the world.
To say that this matter has nothing to do with Bai Dong, and no one will believe it if he kills the princes of the world, so one by one his eyes began to fall on the Qin land in the west, countless scouts and horsemen were dispatched, and the world was scrambling to guess, it was so curious, the world was divided into dozens of countries, and no one knew what the Persian Empire was, most of them were Bai Zi who took a fancy to something about this empire? Otherwise, how could they abandon the east and look west, and instead of taking advantage of the newly defeated Wei state, Dinghexi, they would turn around and attack this Persian Empire? People didn't burn the pickaxe Jing, but it's not a dog?
Now no one cares about who is responsible for the tearing war between Pang Juan and Wei State, and the key figure of Xizi has been fortunately exposed by Zhao Guosi's intelligence department, Pang Juan's treason turned out to be a conspiracy and calculation! Wei Ying's face was swollen, Pang Juan, the aggrieved Wei country, can finally make a choice with his head held high, he is now willing to return to the Wei country, or he is willing to stay in the country of Gura or the country, it is all reasonable, but no one thinks that he will return to the Wei country, and the hatred of the son and the tribe is not shared, and the one who wields the butcher's knife at the Pang family is still the Wei people in the end.
It is said that 30,000 Wei soldiers who were herding sheep in the Western Regions all rushed into the wool pile and rolled happily after hearing the news. All of them are like sinister pleasant goats.
The sheep they raised and the wool they harvested will become the 'private property of the military' promised by Bai Dong. In the future, these sheep will always have their share of the profits. The Bai family merchant society is responsible for sending it to their relatives in their hometown, so that their wives and children can wear new and warm sweaters, and they have 'wool respects' to receive every month; Do those stupid Central Asian locusts really think they are the overlords of the world? actually fell in love with the huge profits brought by the wool, delusional and Bai Dong, the tiger to grab food, this is simply looking for death!
Pang Juan followed the convoy of the Bai family trading company out of western China, and the fierce majesty of the Qin people left an indelible impression on him along the way; Unlike the Wei people, the Wei people's bravery was forced out of the land of the four wars. It is built by a strong national strength, but the Qin people are like the people of Yan Zhao in the north, with an innate warlike blood, which is something brought in the bones, once there is a strong national power to fuel it, it will burst out with incomparably terrifying power.
The Qin people's expression made Pang Juan very satisfied, he was already a little grateful to Bai Dong for 'persecing' him to come to the Qin State, if it weren't for the fact that he had a little regret for the death of a son, he might have hugged Bai Dong to give a face-to-face salute.
Bai Dong definitely wouldn't like this kind of tune between men, but the Dayue clan is different, and they who live in the Hexi Corridor have become the biggest beneficiaries of the wool economy; The current Hexi Corridor is simply more prosperous than it will be in the future. The newly built Tucheng of the Dayue clan can be seen everywhere, and there are business and travel accommodations like Longmen Inn everywhere. Inside is a beautiful old bridesmaid with plump breasts and fat buttocks. They like to cover half of their faces with a black cloth and then flatter people, and their laughter carries the unique moving melody of ethnic minorities; There are no meat buns here, but there are dead dough cakes, finger meats and fragrant milk tea thicker than Tucheng, no matter how thick the mud on the faces of the guests and how compelling the tone is, they will get the warmest reception. General Pang Juan's majestic and murderous aura is like a fart in the eyes of these women, as soon as he walked into the inn, he was hugged by a woman with a towering butt and gave a veneer salute, so angry that the general rolled his eyes, this woman is beautiful, and her tone is actually stronger than him!
The dog leftovers and Du Zhi who were walking with him seemed to be more accustomed to the flattery and tone of the 'beautiful' boss, and when he saw them communicating with the boss lady with ease, Pang Juan suddenly felt that he was an ignorant child. He simply rolled up his sleeves and feasted on Otsuki's boiled meat and bread, then strode out of the inn and went into the camp of the Bai family trading house to accompany his treasures, the war horses and the saddles and stirrups tied to the war horses
Eight thousand war horses and countless ordnance and equipment is a huge wealth, enough to make all the Rong people in the Western Regions red-eyed, for this Pang Juan once expressed worry, he thought that Bai Dong and Yingquliang were crazy, and actually only used the convoy of the trading company to transport these materials, and only mobilized a thousand Qin troops along the way to protect? Do you think that the dangerous western region is as safe as the street market in Liyang?
When Pang Juan saw the singing and dancing Rong people of the Western Regions and Qin Jun as if they had seen their children, the wolves on the grassland became more well-behaved than a puppy when they saw Bai Dong's banner, and when he saw the proprietress of the Dayue clan in a remote earth city, her eyes would light up when she heard Bai Dong's name, and after taking a piece of Bai family cake from the dog's leftovers, she didn't eat it directly, but cleaned her mouth with expensive green salt before tasting it carefully one by one, he was shocked.
I don't know when the influence of Qin and Bai Dong has infiltrated this extraterritorial trade route and infiltrated the Western Regions. The Rong people, the Di people, the Sai people, the Dayue people, and the Qiang people who worship Baishi here may not know that when they hear the names of Bai Dong and Qin Guo, their eyes are shining! Pang Juan could see that that kind of gaze represented acceptance, expectation, excitement and hope, and these fierce and brave Rong Di were difficult to completely conquer by force, but that kid opened their closed hearts with a handful of wool? Is this still a bitter cold place outside the territory? A large number of caravans will pass here every day, some from the Qin State, some from the depths of the grassland, and even from the distant Chu State, money and interests make this place known as the 'Hexi Corridor' is about to turn into a bustling downtown area, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, would he believe that this qiē is all true?
"Senior brother, have you seen the enthusiasm of these Rong people? However, these Dayue people are originally close to Huaxia, and there are many people who come and go on the trade route. Especially those Persians, although the Rong people in the Western Regions are fierce and difficult, they have had exchanges and contacts with China since the Shang Dynasty, and it is not difficult to assimilate them, and they will become part of China sooner or later, while the Persians are different, they are an aggressive race, and their soldiers have ravaged Greece more than 100 years ago, as far as the Aegean coast, killing people and shedding rivers of blood, so for such a nation, We don't need to assimilate, we just need to conquer! ”
"Assimilation, Conquest"
Pang Juan stood in front of Bai Dong's black horse, gently stroking the saddle and stirrups, as if stroking his lover, chewing on the meaning of Bai Dong's words, his eyes became brighter and brighter: "This is what you said, how big the heart is, how big the stage is?" The metaphor of the stage is really interesting. ”
"So is the stage in my brother's heart big enough?" Taking the new weapon 'gun' from the hand of a Qin soldier, raising his head and pointing obliquely to the west, Bai Dong said in inflammatory language: "To Persia, to the Aegean Sea, to Rome!" This is the stage in my heart, the stage of China. However, before I was ready to do these things, I actually lacked confidence, only a soldier like Senior Brother Sun is not enough, when it comes to using soldiers, Senior Brother Sun is not under you, Senior Brother, but when it comes to ruthless means and deterring foreign races, Senior Brother is far better than Senior Brother Sun, if the two of you can work together, plus Child's naturally ruthless kid to assist, maybe it will take three to five years to realize my plan? Senior brother, you will not let me down? ”
"How about getting up at the third watch tonight? I can't wait to get to the Western Regions! ”
Pang Juan laughed, grabbed Bai Dong's hand, and worked very hard. (To be continued......)
