It really surprised everyone.

Fujian is indeed good, rich, strong, fertile land, developed industry and commerce, almost all the good things in the world are in this place, the environment in the river is indeed bad, although there are Amu Darya and Syr Darya watered, is a suitable place for farming, but after all, this is in the center of the continent, the summer is hot, the winter is cold, and there is a vast Russian steppe on the back I don't know how many fierce nomads harass, south, and it is a strong Fujian side view, coveted.

But there is a good saying, the golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as their own grass nest, in the river, Zhaowu nine surnames, the leaders of each department are the grass head king, they are the masters of their own house, attached to the Fujian country, they have to be completely at the mercy of the Min people, so that many chiefs and leaders who are used to the wild can not accept it no matter what.

During the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Zhang Qian to contact the Dayue people who had been driven back to their ancestral steppe to fight against the Xiongnu, but the ancestors of the Sogdians did not agree.

Alexander the Great's world-conquering heavy infantry regiments had already arrived here, trying in vain to reach China through here, but they were stubbornly resisted by the Sogdian tribes and pushed back.

In fact, it was not until the Tang Dynasty that Chang'an, the opening of the Tang Dynasty, provided endless business opportunities for the Sogdians and a wealthy life with thousands of pockets, that the Sogdian tribes successively moved from Central Asia to the Western Regions, moved to Chang'an, and the Longyou generation, after the conquest of the Arab Empire, they were completely untenable to drive more Sogdian talents to come to the Tang Dynasty.

An Lushan and Shi Siming, the two great traitors who ruined the Tang Dynasty, were born in Sogdia.

Now the nine surnames of Zhaowu colluded with the Min State to rebel against Belus, but they didn't want to be controlled by the Tang Dynasty, but now the lord of the Cao State wanted to take the initiative to attach the Min State, and for a while, the big and small leaders were all dumbfounded, staring at him incredibly chubby embroidered with the brocade back of the Tang Furong.

Li Jie was also a little confused, he had deduced the plan many times before, but no one in so many think tanks in Fujian had his head squeezed out of the door and proposed that the Nine Surnames would be attached, and Cao Geliechun's hand was completely beyond Li Jie's expectations.

Could it be that you drank too much and drank this thing stupidly?

At this moment, Li Jie felt that his sleeves were gently pulled, and then a hot red delicate lip was pressed to his ear and muttered.

"Temptation!"

Listening to Anna's reminder, Li Jie's heart suddenly became clear.

The occupation method of Fujian is generally mixed with sand, learning from the methods of the former Soviet Union in later generations, large-scale migration of local aborigines, and then migrating residents from other places to fill the past, leaving their homeland, and many indigenous heroes have lost their teeth.

Now almost all the ethnic groups in Lingnan have been evacuated by Li Jie, and half of the people living in the land of Fujian are Hindu people in Tianzhu and bearded people from Persia, and they have used all kinds of means to abduct and steal, and millions of Tang people have been made out of Jiangzuo Pass by him, and they have moved to Southeast Asia, Tianzhu, and slowly entered Khorasan.

And a considerable part of the local Persians in Khorasan were brought to Nantianzhu by him, and instead of the southern natives such as the Shalouqi people slowly entered Khorasan for reclamation.

On the one hand, it suppressed the rebellion and propagated the Chinese language and culture, and on the other hand, it was through these two means that the Min court under Li Jie maintained the stability of this huge multi-ethnic empire, twisted so many forces into a rope, and continued to expand outward.

The Sogdian countries were not uncivilized Hu people, they also studied politics, and naturally understood the three-plate axe of Fujian, and the words of the lord of Cao were a temptation.

If Li Jie agrees, then he has the heart to completely occupy the river, and when the time comes, I am afraid that after the nobles of various countries return to China, the war against Fujian for freedom should be in full swing in this ancient place.

If Li Jie didn't agree, at least Li Jie still took care of the rule of various countries, and could get along and continue to test each other, like a group of politicians, you and I will continue to play this political game.

Li Jie, who had figured it out, turned his head slightly, his eyes widened and he glared at Anna with a tiger face.

"I'll settle accounts with you tonight, stay honest!"

Do good deeds to help or kill me? Anna couldn't help but pouted her red little mouth in anger and brushed her little brain aside.

Turning his head, looking at the stunned eyes of the lord of Cao and the high-ranking nobles of several other countries, Li Jie deliberately made a look of embarrassment and pinched his chin, and shook his head for a long time.

"Lord Cao yearns for naturalization and admires the culture of my Celestial Empire, so it stands to reason that Gu should agree to ......"

As soon as these words came out, Cao Ge Leechun's heart suddenly rose, and the other dozen or so leaders also clenched their fists, but Li Jie's words made them cry and laugh a little.

Pinching a few strands of beard, Li Jie said embarrassedly: "However, the land of my Fujian country is narrow and the population is large, there is really no extra land to settle your department, and it is a pity that the land in the river is wasted. ”

Li Jie's refusal did make more than a dozen leaders with ill intentions breathe a sigh of relief, but it was quite laughable, everyone knew that the territory of Fujian was vast, and the dignified King of Min was a small family and refused because the land was not enough, which was indeed a bit ridiculous.

But immediately, the hearts of Cao Geliechun and the Lord of Anguo, Lord Shi and others rose again, because after pretending to be a little childish, Li Jie put up old antiques again.

Looking like a standard conservative, with a neat short beard that had finally grown, Li Jie shook his head and said: "Lao Tzu once said, small countries and widows, the voice of chickens and dogs is heard, and the old and dead do not get along. ”

"Now that the Belus thieves have been defeated and are missing, and the purpose of our army to hang the people and fight the crime has been achieved, after a few days, Lone will take these nomadic tribes south, and divide the grassland between Hezhong and Min into two halves, half to the Qarluqs and half to the Alans, since then everyone has closed the passes to each other, no longer disturbing each other, and each is happy, how good!"

Li Jie's words were quite sincere, and he looked like a loyal supporter of Lao Tzu's policy of being a small country and widows, but Cao Gelechun and other Sogdian lords who listened to it almost vomited blood.

Central Asia has never been isolated, located in the center of the Eurasian continent, here has always been the communication of Asia and Europe everywhere the traffic arteries, starting from Chang'an, from the Qin and Han dynasties began before the vast Central Asian trade route shouldered the important task of communicating the entire continent, the Sogdians in the river, to the east can go to Chang'an to do business, to the south to India, to the west can go to the Black Sea Basin, and even to Byzantium, Rome, to the south is the vast territory of the Persian Empire, in which direction, the Sogdians can make money, buy goods.

But in recent years, the Sogdian countries have really had a bad year, the south, India was occupied by the Min State, the Persian Empire was dying by the Arabs, to the west, the trade routes of the Black Sea were also dried up because of the war of the Byzantine Empire, and the trade routes to the east of the Tang Dynasty were better because of the expulsion of the Western Turks.

However, there is not much special output in the river itself, and the Sogdians have been a middleman since ancient times, and if the unilateral international trade with Chang'an continues, the nine surnames of Zhaowu will be exhausted sooner or later.

Finally, the Fujian State stabilized the trade routes to the south and east, Li Jie wanted to close the door to trade again, and lost the trade route between the east and the west, and the surname Zhaowu Jiu still starved to death sooner or later, and now the attitude of the Sogdian countries towards the Fujian State is that they love and fear it, for fear that the Min State will rush in and swallow themselves, and they are afraid that the Min State will really close the door and ignore themselves, and they will not be able to stand any of them.

"Your Majesty, no!"

Spitting blood, Lord Cao took the lead in bowing down with a sad arch fist, and then more than a dozen other lords and ministers also stood up with a sad face, fortunately, at this time, also in front of all of them, Li Ji, the secretary of the military department, took the lead in standing up, dragging his long-sleeved robe and walked quickly to the front, and also bent down and bowed heavily.

"Your Majesty, this matter still needs to be cautious."

"The Fujian State has spent such a heavy price and paid the lives of more than 10,000 soldiers, just for the stability of the northern border for a hundred years, but now the life and death of the Belus thieves are unknown, and the Anxi Protectorate and the Turgish people are hostile to the Fujian State, once the Fujian army retreats south, these people will definitely come back like hungry wolves."

"Your Majesty reigns over the world and encompasses the four seas, how can you bear to let the people in the river fall into the ravages of war again?"

Li Ji's words made many Yi Di Jun surnamed Zhaowu Jiu tremble, and they only then remembered that there were still several hungry wolves in the north still eyeing them, and once the Tuqi Shi people came back again, it would be better for the river to fall into the hands of the Min State.

Cao Gelie has figured it out, he is testing Fujian, why isn't Fujian testing himself, this is the time to talk about conditions!

Thinking about this, the lord of Cao hurriedly bowed heavily with a sad face, full of sincere pleading: "I ask His Majesty the King of Min to temper the people of the river such as us, the nine surnames of Zhaowu are willing to submit to the flag of the Min State, and the ministers are willing to sacrifice the Hengros City and the Min State to establish the Hezhong Governor's Mansion, and the Cao State is willing to follow the King of Min and never betray him." ”

Listening to the plea of the lord of Cao, the other monarchs of the countries who wanted to understand also hurriedly dropped the wine bowl and respectfully bowed and bowed.

"Mi country/Shi country, Nasebo/Kang country is willing to return to the banner of the Min Kingdom, we are willing to follow the tail of the King of Fujian, never rebel, begging the King of Min to take it in!"

Seeing that half of the people in the huge palace bowed, and some people simply knelt on the ground, kowtowing and pinching their beards, Li Jie was full of embarrassment and was silent for a long time.

Everyone's hearts were lifted to their throats......
