Yang Shouwen was a little confused!

He looked at Qiu Shengtou, and he couldn't have imagined that Jili Yuanying had chosen to surrender, and he surrendered to him......

It's no wonder that Yang Shouwen may be famous in Liangjing, but he is not famous in Liangjing.

Especially in the land of Ansi, people are more willing to surrender to a powerful person than to a person who is famous but does not have the slightest strength. From this point of view, Yang Shouwen has no influence in Anxi.

However, Jili Yuanying actually wants to surrender to him?

Yang Shouwen couldn't help but squint his eyes and looked at Qiu Sheng's head.

Qiu Sheng smiled and said, "Yang Jun doesn't have to doubt that the reason why Jili Yuanying is willing to surrender to you is because he has another choice in Anxi...... Uzile's strength still exists, and he still has 60,000 people under his command. Regardless of whether he eliminated Bo Lu or not, as long as he showed his sincerity, I believe that even if it was the Anxi Protectorate, he would have to think about it seriously.

Not to mention, Na Wuzhile has worked hard all these years and has cooperated with many tribes.

The Fugu tribe of Jinwei Mountain, the Ba Xi Mi people of Wolf Mountain, and the worm people, shark people, and Baye ancients of Mengchi all have very close ties with him. This is an eight-sided delicate guy, even if the court really wants to destroy it, it must be slowly figured out. Because once the Uzile is eliminated, it is likely to cause turmoil throughout Anxi. ”

Speaking of this, Qiu Shengtou paused.

He sighed and said in a low voice: "If Jili Yuanying surrenders, it will be difficult to have a place in Anxi.

He can take refuge in the imperial court, but if Uzile really wants to do something to him, even the imperial court must consider the benefits. Therefore, he must find someone who can protect him well, and Yang Jun, you, are his only choice at present. ”

Yang Shouwen couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

"How do you know I'll be able to protect him?"

Qiu Shengtou said with a straight face: "I don't know...... Jili Yuanying didn't know, but he had to take a gamble this time. ”

Bet on it!

If Yang Shouwen can't protect him, Jili Yuanying can only consider himself unlucky.

But what if Yang Shouwen has this ability?

Yang Shouwen took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and thought about the stakes.

After a while, he suddenly said to Li Ke: "Li Jun, please go and find Shiro, my eldest brother, and Mina." ”

"Whoa!"

Li Ke bowed and agreed, and then withdrew from the big tent.

Yang Shouwen did not continue to talk to Qiu Shengtou, but waited for a while, and then heard footsteps outside the big tent.

Mingxiu and the others walked in, and Yang Shouwen opened his eyes and motioned for them to sit down.

"Qiu Shengtou, you repeat what you just said to me."

Qiu Shengtou immediately agreed, repeating what he had just said. When he finished, Mina and Gilda looked confused, while Mingxiu was thoughtful. He asked Qiu Sheng for a few more moments, and then sat down and was silent in thought.

"Yang Jun, what are the arrangements for you to bring us here?"

Yang Shouwen palmed down and made a gesture of 'calm and don't be impatient'.

At this time, Mingxiu also raised his head, looked at Yang Shouwen and said, "Qingzhi, your idea is indeed the best solution." ”

Qiu Sheng sat on the side, looking puzzled.

And Yang Shouwen smiled at Mingxiu and said in a deep voice: "Shiro really knows me." ”

He stood up and beckoned Li Ke to step forward, "Get the map." ”

"Whoa!"

Li Ke hurriedly turned around and left, and after a while, he came back with the map in his hand.

In the center of the big tent, after spreading out the map, Yang Shouwen stepped forward, pointed to a place on the map with his finger, and said to Qiu Sheng: "You go back immediately and tell Jili Yuanying, I can protect him this time." However, I want him to lead his troops westward at once, and build a city in the valley between the lower reaches of the Broken Leaf Water and the Yaozhi Water. When the city is finished, he can send someone to contact me, and I will try to find an identity for him in front of the saints. ”

Medicine kills water, which is what later generations called the Syr Darya.

The New Tang Dynasty Book? It was recorded in the Legend of the Western Regions: There is medicine to kill water in the southwest of Shiguo, and it is called the Pearl River in China.

Killing, belonging to the Old Persian language, means 'pearl'.

To be precise, this place belongs to the territory of the Shiguo among the nine surnames of Tocharian Zhaowu. But in fact, Shi Guo has no control over this land. As a result, this has become the northwest of Anxi, and it has also become an ownerless wasteland.

But this land is indeed a necessary place for the people of Dawei to go east.

No one knows better than Yang Shouwen the threat posed by the Dayu people to the Tang Dynasty in the future, and no one knows better than Yang Shouwen that the Dawei people once had a war with the Tang Dynasty in this region in history, that is, the 'Battle of Talas' that is known as the 'Battle of Talas' that changed the course of world civilization history. But where exactly is Talas? Yang Shouwen is not clear.

At least, on the map in front of Yang Shouwen, this area is not marked.

Yang Shouwen only vaguely remembered that the historical Battle of Talas took place in the Syr Darya Valley...... In other words, if Jili Yuanying can build a city here, it is equivalent to choking the eastward expansion of the Dawei people. This is a gamble, if it succeeds, maybe there will not be another 'Battle of Talas', and Datang can continue to control Anxi.

However, he won't tell anyone what he thinks, and the only person who has guessed the mystery is Mingxiu......

Because on the way to the west, Yang Shouwen had talked to Mingxiu more than once about the threat of the Da Wei people.

"Mina, do you see this land?"

After Yang Shouwen finished speaking, Mingxiu opened his mouth.

Pointing to the area from the lower reaches of the Syr Darya River to the Aral Sea, he said to Mina: "Here, it is very close to Khorasan, and you can reach it by crossing the Wuhu River. If, I mean, we can secure a piece of land here for you and your people, will you be able to gain a foothold here? ”

"But here, it's under the rule of Shi Guo."

"Shiguo?"

Mingxiu smiled: "Don't worry, the imperial court will try to compensate him at that time."

If you and your people can gain a foothold here, you will have the Stone Kingdom to the south, and the city built by Jili Yuanying to the east. When the time comes, the two of you can be horns for each other and help each other, and it will be difficult for Shiguo to drive you away.

This land is enough to accommodate 100,000 of your people......"

Hearing this, Mina couldn't help but take a deep breath and walk over to the map to check.

The yellow beard crisscrosses Anxi, and naturally knows this land.

Mina looked at it for a long time, then suddenly raised her head, stared at Yang Shouwen and said, "Yang Jun, can you guarantee that the Emperor of the Tang Kingdom can agree to let us live here?" ”

Yang Shouwen smiled and did not answer, but looked at Mingxiu.

Mingxiu nodded and said in a deep voice: "As long as you can show, you can show your ability and qualifications to live here!" ”

In this world, there is no such thing as a free lunch.

Benevolence, righteousness and morality are only one aspect, and interests can keep the boat of friendship from capsizing.

As a child of a family, Mingxiu has a deeper understanding of the word 'profit'. Dou Mien, Shengmi hatred...... If Wu Zenai naively let Mina and them live in peace, maybe he won't be grateful to Mina, but will have other ideas.

Do you want to settle your people in Anthy?

OK!

But you have to show that you have what it takes to live here.

What are the qualifications?

Mina grew up in Broken Leaf City, and in her bones, she was also tainted with the habits of some merchants.

Hearing Mingxiu's words, she still didn't understand what Yang Shouwen meant, and a pair of good-looking eyes suddenly smiled into crescent moons.

What Yang Jun means ...... Do you want me and Ji Li Yuanying to monitor the five crossbows for the emperor of the Tang Kingdom, and block the Da Yu people? ”

Yang Shouwen smiled, but he didn't answer Mina's question, but turned his head to look at Qiu Shengtou.

"Qiu Shengtou, what do you think?"

Qiu Shengtou's eyes suddenly showed admiration, he looked at Yang Shouwen, and said in a deep voice: "Yang Jun is far-sighted and respectful. ”

Jili Yuanying surrendered?

But if he surrenders, what can he do?

Well, even if Yang Shouwen saves his life, he still has a criminal record, and the court will never allow him to stay in Anxi.

At least, he can't be allowed to stay in Anthy and find trouble with Uzile!

If Jili Yuanying leaves, his people will be scattered. In that case, the usefulness of Jili Yuanying will be greatly reduced.

However, if Jili Yuanying stays and his people can stay in Anxi, it will be a different situation.

He and Uzile have turned against each other, and will find trouble with Uzil.

Even if it can't bring a substantial blow to Uzile, it can still disgust Uzile from time to time, and at the same time monitor the movement of the five crossbows. Mina's people settled down and needed a lot of supplies. Then in the initial stage, it can be provided through Jili Yuanying...... Once the Persians stabilized their position, they could in turn support Jili Yuanying......

And for the Tang Empire, why not lay a wedge in Anxi and contain the power of the various ethnic groups in Anxi?

to the west, there was the Persian Empire in exile and the Jili Yuanying; In the east, there are soldiers and horses in the four towns of Anxi.

The two sides echoed each other, which could further stabilize the situation in Anxi and enhance the Tang Empire's control over Anxi.

The most important thing is that this force can be included under the command of the crown prince Li Xian......

"Qiu Shengtou, you immediately return to Jili Yuanying's side and ask him to evacuate before noon.

I want him to establish himself there at the end of the year and build the city properly. As for the rest, I'll find a way to keep him from worrying. What I can guarantee is that Uzil will not pose a threat to him for a year. ”

"Obedience."

"Okay, Li Jun, you will send off the guests on my behalf."

Yang Shouwen glanced at Li Ke, and Li Ke led Qiu Shengtou away.

Qiu Shengtou's chess piece can't be given up, and letting him stay by Jili Yuanying's side is also a shadow. Once something happens to Ji Li Yuanying's side, Qiu Shengtou will also be able to pass on the information. In other words, Qiu Shengtou will become a dead room from now on. He will always stay by Jili Yuanying's side, and must not be exposed unless necessary.

Qiu raised his head and left.

Mina, on the other hand, was particularly excited, circling around the map.

Gilda stood beside her, a smile on her face, and just looked at Mina quietly, her eyes full of tenderness.

Yang Shouwen and Mingxiu walked out of the big tent, and the two came out of the camp and walked onto a high ground.

From here, you can get a bird's-eye view of the Ashbulai Pass.

"Qingzhi, do you really think that those Da Yu people will pose a threat to us?"

Yang Shouwen nodded and said softly: "Hugh should underestimate those people, if we don't take precautions in advance, sooner or later we will suffer a big loss." ”

"But can the court agree?"

Mingxiu didn't think that Yang Shouwen was making a big fuss, but he was worried that those bosses in the court might not approve of his approach.

At this time, the Tang Kingdom stood majestically on top of the world.

There is the most brilliant civilization in the world, the most powerful military force in the world, and the most vast land and abundant products in the world...... The elders of the court will not understand what kind of changes the Great Lady will bring to this world at this time. They don't know that those 'barbarians' in their eyes will close the most important passage connecting the Tang Kingdom to the world in the future. At this time, the Tang Empire was still immersed in the glory of the coming dynasties of all countries.

Yang Shouwen was silent!

In fact, he did not know what the impact of allowing Jili Yuanying to build a city and agreeing to the Persians to settle would be.

He just felt that having such a force in his hands could enhance Li Xian's influence in Anxi!

After a moment of silence, Yang Shouwen took a deep breath.

"Your Majesty is a heroine of the ages, a heroic woman in the world, and she must be able to understand the benefits of doing so.

What's more, there is still Elder Di Guo in the court, with his wisdom, how can he not see the threat of the Da Yu people, and my intention to arrange it like this? Shiro, I am going to write a secret letter and send it to Luoyang, I believe that Your Majesty and the elders will definitely agree. ”

Mingxiu thought about it, stretched out his hand, and patted Yang Shouwen on the shoulder.

He smiled, showed a mouthful of snow-white teeth and said, "Qingzhi, I support you in this matter!" (To be continued.) )

PS: Should Jeddah stay in Anxi, or should he return to the Central Plains with Yang Shouwen?
