"Chenggong, this is the end, why do I think it's so child's play?" At the end of the peace negotiation, Ali Yi and the others were arranged to rest in other tents and sent troops to protect them. When there was only General Anxi left in the big tent of the Chinese army, Xiao Quzhi couldn't help but smile and said.

Duan Xiushi leaned back on the Hu chair, raised his head and smiled at Xiao Quzhi: "Both sides are not sincere, they are all deceiving each other and delaying the army, this peace agreement is unlikely to take effect in the first place, and it is not surprising that both sides are perfunctory." ”

Not long ago, after giving gifts, the two sides had a heated debate on the terms of the peace armistice, and the Anxi army opened his mouth widely, thinking that Ali Yi would sit on the ground and bargain, but what he didn't expect was that Ali Yi agreed without saying much about the conditions, and soon reached an agreement:

1. The issue of the ownership of the land in the river will be agreed upon by Gao Xianzhi and Bo Xilin after meeting; 2. The Anxi Army released the captured Dashi captives and the captured Dashi women; 3. The ransom of the Anxi military expenses and the prisoners was 50,000 dinars, 800,000 dirhams, 10 pearls and gems, 8,000 Arabian horses, 800 camels, 30,000 sheep, and 10,000 stones of grain; 4. The Great Eclipse shall release the imprisoned kings of the nine kingdoms of Zhaowu and the families of Dehgan, and shall not restrict or monitor the freedom of movement of the people of the nine kingdoms of Zhaowu...... There are more than 10 clauses in total.

This was not so much an armistice as an agreement for the redemption of prisoners, because the armistice could not have been stopped on the side of the Ansey army, let alone Posilin.

On the side of the Anxi army, due to the recent years, Tang Xuanzong has become very happy, four years ago, Tang Xuanzong considered capturing Shibao City, his godson, the four towns of the festival made Wang Zhongsi play that the terrain of Shibao City is too dangerous, and the city defense is strong, and there are countless stones and rolling woods, and the forcible attack is worth the loss, and Tang Xuanzong is very unhappy.

After Wang Zhongsi was killed by Li Linfu, Ge Shuhan took over his position, Tang Xuanzong put more than 100,000 soldiers in Shuofang, Hedong and other places under the command of Ge Shuhan, and finally forced the stone castle city with 63,000 elite soldiers with only a few hundred defenders. Tang Xuanzong was very happy and rewarded Ge Shuhan heavily.

With this example, all the border generals understood Tang Xuanzong's thoughts, and began to ignore the life and death of the soldiers, and devoted themselves to making meritorious contributions, and provoked a war if they had nothing to do. Now that the Anxi army is winning every victory, it is the time to make meritorious contributions and please the king, how can Gao Xianzhi stop fighting?

In the same way, Bosilin climbed step by step from a serf to his current high position, relying on the prestige of winning a hundred battles, and because of his high merit, he received the suspicion of the Abbasid Mansour brothers. If he had stopped his prestige, the soldiers would no longer believe him, and the Abbasids would have given the Abbasids an excuse to get rid of him. So it is even more impossible to do it.

"What do you think of Posilin's idea?" Xiao Quzhi asked.

"That Aliyi first sent gifts to see Gao Gaocheng, and later when he discussed the terms of the peace talks, he mentioned Zhongcheng several times, which is clearly to investigate our military situation, Zhongcheng's main force has not appeared, their peace is false this time, and the position of the main force of Zhongcheng and Anxi is true. It is also possible that they want to stabilize us temporarily, and then secretly increase their troops. ”

"I don't think the news that Zhongcheng is here will be hidden for long. We still have to plan ahead and send more scouts to monitor the trend of the big food. ”

"But, at least for now, they are still investigating, and as long as we keep the road and keep a close watch over these messengers, they will have nothing to do. When they came to their senses, Zhongcheng must have arrived in Talas City soon. Duan Xiushi suddenly smiled and said: "It's you, be careful, that Hu Lingye is a beauty trick in my opinion, either to find out information, or to assassinate you, I have to guard against it." ”

"I know this, although she is indeed beautiful and gorgeous, but in fact, I don't have much interest in her, I still prefer the daughter of the Han family." Xiao Quzhi suddenly said: "Actually, I'm more interested in that Aliyi." ”

"What?!" Together with Duan Xiushi, the eyes of the Anxi generals in the tent widened for a moment, and they looked at Xiao Quai's illness in surprise.

I didn't expect General Xiao to be so handsome and handsome, it almost made all women tempted to see it, but he was not good at women and liked men! Hu Lingye is such a stunning beauty, he doesn't have much interest, but he is interested in Aliyi's bearded uncle, what kind of hobby is this?

Especially Gu Xiaojun and Li Ergou, who have been in contact with Xiao Qubing for the longest time and are the closest to them, have a bad chill, and goosebumps fell to the ground. Li Ergou secretly slandered to himself: "No wonder we captured so many big cannibal women, you didn't touch any of them, it turns out that you are good at Longyang!" Oops, Captain Xiao is closest to the two of us, is it because he has a crush on Lao Tzu and me? Boss, please let me go, I only like women! ”

Xiao Qu reacted after a while, and said with some embarrassment: "Don't get me wrong, Lao Tzu likes women." He paused, and said with a serious face: "I'm interested in that Aliyi because he has been to Datang by sea, and he knows how to build ships. ”

Gu Xiaojun looked puzzled and said, "What's this?" ”

"What's this?" Xiao Quzhi patiently explained: "There is a mountain of gold! Don't you know? Have any of you been to Chang'an, Yangzhou, or Guangzhou? ”

"I've been to Chang'an." Almost all of the Anxi generals said that they had been to Chang'an.

"I've been to Chang'an, Yangzhou, Guangzhou, or Yuezhou." In this group of people, Li Ergou went the farthest.

"What do you say is the most expensive thing in the bazaars in these places?"

"Jewelry, and spices!" Li Ergou said.

"That's right!" Xiao Quzhi said excitedly: "These things are all transported by the big cannibals from the sea. ”

Xiao Quzhi took out a piece of rice paper and drew it with the carbon pen he carried with him. After more than half an hour, a very simple and rough map of the world was drawn. Then he began to mark Chang'an, Luoyang, Guangzhou, Yangzhou, Anxi, and Hezhong, and then drew a line from Chang'an to the west of Hezhong, and then another line along the coastline from Guangzhou to the Gulf of Oman.

The crowd was immediately drawn to the map. Duan Xiushi said: "What is this? ”

"World Map!" Xiao Quzhi walked around the border of Datang with his fingers: "This is Datang." Then he pointed to the west and south of the land in the river: "This is the Great Eclipse." ”

"The world is so big? Big Food also has such a large territory?! "This map is completely beyond what people know about the world. In the eyes of many people, Datang is almost half of the whole world, and the rest is the edge of the world. Even the Great Eclipse is just a slightly larger barbarian country like the Turks and Turgish. I didn't expect Da Shi to be much smaller than Datang! (Xiao Quai's illness did not include the Uighurs in the Tang Dynasty)

"Not only that, there is another place I haven't drawn, from Yuezhou (now Shaoxing) all the way to the east, sailing thousands of miles to meet a continent larger than two or three Tang Dynasty......"

Listening to Xiao Qu's description, what an endless grassland, a large rainforest, piranhas, alpacas, and many, many crops that I have never heard of. Everyone was lost all of a sudden, feeling that they were like a frog at the bottom of a well in front of Xiao Quai.

"What about those two lines?" It took a long time for everyone to come back to their senses, and Duan Xiushi pointed to the two lines and asked.

"From Chang'an to the river, you don't need to say that you also know that this is the Silk Road. One of the responsibilities of our Anxi Protectorate is to keep this Silk Road open. Xiao Quzhi pointed to the sea road again: "This sea road is called the spice road. The Great Cannibal set out from here empty-handed, carrying only food, and countless treasures of gold and silver along the way. This is the island of gems, and on this island, you can pick up countless gems just a short walk away.

This is the spice island, and there is no one on it, it is overgrown with trees, and they are all spice trees, cloves, pepper, nutmeg, they are too many to count, and they fall to the ground without anyone picking them. Those big cannibals sailed their boats here, and only sent people to pick up them from under the trees near the sea for two days, and then transported them to Datang, where they could exchange countless copper coins and silk silks. You should know how expensive cloves, pepper, and nutmeg sell in Chang'an! ”

"It's true!?" All the people's eyes lit up, as if they saw mountains of gold.

"Of course it's true!" Xiao Quzhi said step by step: "You look down on the big eater, but you don't know that the big cannibal is ahead of us in many places. Not to mention anything else, they are much better than me in terms of sailing skills! That's why I'm particularly interested in that Aliyi. ”
