"My lord, although Daqin is strong, I am not afraid of him. Even if it is not possible to regain the lost ground, a stalemate can be achieved. But inside our country... ”

It turned out to be civil strife, and Qiao Ren couldn't help with it. You can't ask Dongwu to send troops to help him quell the rebellion, if Dongwu has unified Huaxia at this time, this is about the same, but the three-legged stand in front of him, and he is still far from reunification, how can he have the leisure to help him quell the rebellion!!

"Your internal affairs are inconvenient to intervene." Qiao Ren only wants the navigation technique of resting, and it has nothing to do with him.

"Your Excellency, your ability to form an alliance with our country on behalf of your country is the greatest support for our country." Hassan performed a standard Chinese salute.

Qiao Ren has been known for his good yang schemes since his debut, and he is not only good at military affairs but also well versed in politics. How could Qiao Ren not know the idea of resting in peace, whether it was contacting the Kushan Empire before or now finding Eastern Wu, it was all for the sake of forming an alliance. A nominal alliance to deter internal separatist forces. The resting royal family was very rich, and with strong allies he could squander their money, buy a lot of ordnance and food, and in general, the military and politics were focused on forming alliances.

"Good! Our country can first sign the covenant, and our envoys will bring it to your country and hand it over to His Majesty the King of Rest for signing, and then hand it over to our envoy to bring back in duplicate. Qiao Ren patted his chest and beat the ticket.

But Hassan knows that whatever he wants, he needs to exchange it for something of equal value, which is an eternal truth. Although Qiao Ren didn't know whether the Rest Empire had developed Damascus steel, the original steel quality in the place was very good, and it was used to make Miao knives, which were not inferior to Damascus knives. You must know that the Miao knife itself was cast by Qi Jiguang to deal with the samurai sword, one of the three famous swords in the world, plus the technology of another famous knife, Damascus knife, and iron, which is powerful. Qiao Ren can only hehe, and he is not afraid of imitation, because Wei Shuyi has no forging skills and second, he has no raw materials.

"Thank you, your Excellency."

"Okay, you prepare, Lone will take you to meet the Supreme tomorrow." There are a lot of things that Qiao Ren can call the shots, but the alliance still needs Sun Ce's seal. "By the way, do you need to leave Antonini alone in Dahan?"

The implication is a little more ferocious. Antonini was a merchant in Rome, and if he returned to Rome to bring the news back, he would cause a lot of trouble for his allies.

"Thank you, my lord, Antonini is Jewish."

Okay! The Jews, who were not hardcore people of the Roman Empire, were no wonder that when they met Joren, they would say that God had, and that they were Jews. "Okay, Lone will keep him in Jianye for an extra month."

The next day, Qiao Ren took Hassan to meet Sun Ce with great interest, and when he walked to the first gate of Taichu Palace, there was a burst of golden light.

"It's so dazzling!" Qiao Ren looked up and saw that it was Wu Xun, the captain of the Yue Cavalry among the five captains, and his non-commissioned officers were on duty, all of them had changed into guards with Mingguang armor, and it felt like the city was full of golden armor.

It's not that the Ming Guang armor of the Praetorian Guards is the same as Qiao Ren, they are all gilded, and Dongwu is not so rich. Sun Ce's Taichu Palace is different from the palaces of the Han Dynasty and even all dynasties. The palaces of all dynasties are sitting in the north and facing south, in order to divide yin and yang. But Taichu Palace is backed by the northeast and overlooks the southeast, because Jianye can already be said to be the most northeastern place in Jiangdong, and the palace is built with the northeast back, Sun Ce sits on the throne and looks down There is a feeling that you can see your own territory.

But this is bitter Qiao Ren and other ministers, the sun comes out of the east, and the Han Dynasty rarely opens the early dynasty, most of them are the noon dynasty, that is, when the noon is about to end, when the ministers enter the palace, the sun is just west, and the sun is printed on the bright light armor on the guards who guard the palace ban, which simply blinds Qiao Ren's eyes, and imprints the Taichu Palace with holy brilliance.

Qiao Ren is still like this, let alone Hassan. Although he had been to many countries and seen many palaces, he had never seen such a palace, such gorgeous armor, and the holy golden light reflected on Hassan's face, and he was actually stunned. No matter what kind of people in the world worship the sun god, Qiao Ren looked at the chanting Hassan and knew that his mind had been taken care of, so he shook his arm and finally woke him up.

Then Qiao Ren motioned to Wu Xun to let Hassan enter the palace with him, Qiao Ren is the supreme commander of the five battalions of the guards, plus his special status, he doesn't need any credentials to bring a person without a sharp weapon into the palace, because Qiao Ren can enter the palace with a sword himself.

The subsequent meeting with Sun Ce was much simpler, especially after knowing that there were high-quality horses and steel in Anxi, Sun Ce was even more eager to form an alliance with Anxi. Most of the horses of Eastern Wu were 'imported' from Liaodong, and the distance was not much closer than that of Anxi, and it was susceptible to the influence of Cao Wei.

Not to mention that the Arabian horse is one of the best war horses in the world. Although the sweat and blood horses are good, but the number is too small, can only be used as a symbol of the emperor's dignity, Emperor Wu is the country of Dawan is only a thousand horses, and the sweat and blood horses are not good to hybridize can not improve the original horse breed of Eastern Wu.

The Arabian horse is different, the Arabian horse is known for its hard-working and enduring power, and can adapt to endure when the breeding conditions are very poor, and this cute horse is also very intelligent, it is careful, sensitive, sensitive, not only very kind to humans or other animals, but also very good at thinking about themselves. It is best known for its temper if it wants to force it to do what it doesn't want to do, but it is heroic and obedient to those they trust. This is the best quality as a war horse, you must know that Dongwu is not as good as the north conditions can contact horses from a young age, the knights of Dongwu are generally adults before starting to ride horses, which requires good-tempered war horses. As for the saddle horse pedal, it doesn't matter whether there is a Han Dynasty or not, but for the young horses of the Eastern Wu, it is simply a disaster.

Moreover, both male and female Arabian horses are the best, their excellent bloodlines and genes are enough to modify any horse breed in the world, so Qiao Ren does not need to provide many war horses from the Rest Empire at all, only enough ** can be used to improve the genes of the horses produced by Dongwu.

Jiangdong is not without horses, "Huayang National Chronicles, Nanzhong Chronicles" said: The elders rumored that there are divine horses in Dianchi Lake, or Jiaoyan, that is, the birth of a horse, commonly known as the 'Dianchi Horse', a day of five hundred miles. That is, Dali horses or Yunnan horses, Dali horses are short and compact, delicate and handsome, sensitive, and docile; It is a dual-purpose pack horse breed, but unfortunately it is not good at fighting, because it is too short. However, the breeding function is extremely strong, and it is very easy to feed, if the Arabian horse and Dali horse can be successfully crossed, the problem of lack of horses in Jiangdong can be alleviated.

But with horses, there is still a need for land for horse grazing, so Qiao Ren instigated Sun Ce to really master Jiaozhou, form a good alliance with Nanzhong, attack Funan and recapture Rinan. The attack on Funan is still secondary, the important thing is Nanzhong, Qiao Ren needs this piece of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau to raise horses.

The reason why the regimes in the Jiangnan region were rarely able to defeat the northern regimes in the long era of cold weapons was that there were many plains in the north, and there was no way to make tactical and strategic moves without large-scale cavalry. You can't just drag two legs to make a detour, right? Not to mention the large-scale heavy cavalry regiment in the Northern and Southern Dynasties era, it was simply a nightmare for the infantry.
