Chapter 228: Controlling Business One

Liu Xun's ancestor worship ceremony of the Han Dynasty came as scheduled, although the envoys of the 36 countries of the Western Regions did not all arrive, but there were more than 20 countries, whether the countries broke the pressure against their will, or really did not want to cause conflicts with the Han Dynasty sent envoys.

The grand occasion of the ancestor worship ceremony is unprecedented, Chang'an City can be described as a scene of singing and laughter, and the national flag fluttering in front of the shop is in the wind, all of which are festive atmosphere.

Everything has a beginning and an end, and the celebration ended after the Han Emperor Liu inquired about the Son of Heaven's order, which was the feudal merchant of the ancient kingdom of Loulan in Qishan City, so that the caravans of various countries in the Western Regions were not allowed to go to the trade area outside Qishan City in the future, if the caravans of various countries entered and exited the Qishan trade area without permission, the caravan security problem would be at their own risk.

The Emperor of the Han Dynasty ordered, of course, the envoys of more than 20 countries knew that this was the Han Dynasty's attack on the Loulan people again, and it was the imposition of economic sanctions on the ancient country of Loulan in Qishan City, and all the envoys were silent for a while, they could only listen, they couldn't speak, as long as the Han Dynasty didn't attack their own country!

Wang Guifei went out of Chang'an City with General Zhao Chongguo and ran to the Western Regions together, and the economic and commercial blockade of the ancient country of Loulan was also launched, which can be said to be all-round.

The effect of Wang Guifei's plan is very obvious, the caravans of the countries in the Western Regions really did not appear in the Qishan Trade Zone for a while, and the caravans of the remaining countries in the Western Regions that did not participate in the ancestor worship ceremony of the Han Dynasty did not appear in the Qishan Trade Zone for a while, because the countries in the Western Regions that did not participate in the Han Dynasty and Qishan City were far away from the Han Dynasty and Qishan City, and there was little business contact, which was very normal and a normal law.

It is completely understandable that there is no exotic caravan in the Qishan Trade Zone on the 10th and 8th, and it is in line with the law of the Gobi caravan in the Western Regions, but two months have passed, and there is no caravan in the trade area outside the Qishan Pass?

The shop owners in Qishan City can't hold their hearts anymore, they are simply looking forward to the exotic caravan, and some of the goods in the shops are already in short supply or out of stock, the interests, the interests of the merchants!

The shop owners appeared in the trade area outside the pass gate for the first time every day, waiting for the exotic caravan, and the result was predictable, and they were disappointed every day.

The ancient country of Loulan is a country with a perfect system, and the special situation of commerce and trade has naturally entered the court with the passage of time, Lan Qi'er can know the abnormality in the trade area on the dragon chair, and has to immediately elevate the business and trade problems of the people to the national level, and start to discuss politics in the court.

The courtiers are according to the department's political opinions, the direction is roughly the same, that is, after Qishan set up a trade zone, for a time became the main exchange area of materials for the countries of the Western Regions, and the distribution center of caravans of various countries, resulting in the fact that the caravans of their own countries do not have to run around the countries, and now the situation is abnormal, it is time to send their own caravans to travel, on the one hand, it is to purchase necessary materials for the country and the people, and on the other hand, it can be explored that there are no foreign caravans in the trade zone.

Lan Qi'er finally ordered the emperor to make a holy decree in the court, and the state sent eighteen hussars and caravans to form two teams to set off, the team is two, and the direction of the country is mainly the nearest one, on the one hand, it is convenient for the rapid replenishment of materials, and on the other hand, it is a quick reply to the message.

With the Qishan caravan and the eighteen hussars out of the Qishan Pass, the Han soldiers sent by Shanjuncheng immediately reported the situation to Wang Guifei, who of course had already prepared, and immediately sent a team of nearly 300 elite soldiers to Qishan, with the obvious purpose, that is, to intercept and slaughter.

Qishan caravan and eighteen hussars respectively entered the two Western Regions countries not far apart, the hussars also have a procurement task this time, is to purchase the country's reserve materials, after entering a foreign country is to communicate with the shop owners, with the exchange of materials and money, the answer to the desire is also about to come out, the hussars know the reason why there is no exotic caravan in the Qishan Pass foreign trade area, so it is so, it is the Han Dynasty through an ancestor worship ceremony, to the Western Regions countries issued the so-called Son of Heaven Seal Order, is to control the Son of Heaven in Loulan Order.

It can really be described as "the order of the Emperor of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, how about the nations, there is no trace of the business district, all industries are decadent and urgent, and the real estate merchants are desert and happy".

The eighteen hussars of Qishan purchased the country's reserve materials and the answers they wanted, and there was no point in staying in a foreign country, so they immediately escorted the materials out of the foreign country and went straight to Qishan City!

After the Qishan caravan personnel entered a foreign country, they first traded with each other and exchanged the necessary materials, and they also got a relatively detailed answer between the words, that is, the caravans of various countries would not go to the Qishan trade area in the future, and the caravan personnel of various countries had to give up the maximization of business interests first, and the benefits were helpless to give up.

The Qishan caravan personnel got the basic information, and the material transaction was over, so they naturally wanted to return to Qishan City, the world is providential, the caravan of Qishan actually met with the eighteen hussars in the desert, this is definitely the will of heaven, it is the blessing of the caravan personnel, and the caravan personnel really shouldn't die!

A team of fifty or sixty people, carrying horses, camels, supplies, etc., walked in the desert without hurry, a few hours of walking, the outline of Qishan has appeared, the caravan personnel know that they will arrive in less than half a day, and they discuss the future walk in their spare time, and the caravans of various countries will no longer send materials to the Qishan Trade Zone, no matter how big the interests are, they must take into account the safety of their lives.

Everyone was talking, after speculating, who could have deduced that the danger was coming, the time passed minute by minute, and the distance from Qishan was getting closer and closer, and the footsteps of the caravan personnel were moving, and as everyone climbed a sand dune together, they saw that there was a team of about 300 people hidden in a sand depression less than two or three hundred meters ahead.

This team is still far away for a while, it is impossible to distinguish whether it is a caravan or a soldier, this situation is special, it has to attract the attention of the hussar soldiers, the "hussar soldiers" are led by Zhang Qiang and Zhang Mao to stop the march of the team, after everyone's discussion, the Qishan caravan personnel are responsible for all the materials for a while, and the eighteen hussars are responsible for the safety of the caravan personnel.

The Qishan caravan went around with precautions, although the two sides were far away, they could see it, the purpose of the Han soldiers was clear, although they couldn't tell what the situation was in front of the team for a while, and the heart was clear, this team must be the Loulan caravan, the Loulan people.

The generals of the Han army gave the order, and nearly 300 Han troops came straight to the Qishan caravan with the horses standing up.

The "hussar soldiers" now see clearly, the situation has changed, the situation is wrong, the front team is the soldiers, not the caravan personnel, no accident should be the Han army, it is the Han army from the feudal merchants!

The melee is about to break out, the distance of two or three hundred meters is not far in the desert, there are as many as three hundred soldiers in the Han army, and there are eighteen people in Loulan with high combat power, unless there is a chance of winning the battle one by one, it is impossible here.

The Han army attacked, although the eighteen hussars tried their best to block them, but their number was too small, from time to time there were twenty or thirty Han soldiers died under the horse, but the caravan personnel also appeared next to the Han soldiers, and the dead and wounded also appeared?

Zhang Qiang, the leader of the hussars, saw this situation, and immediately shouted, all the hussars moved closer to the caravan personnel and materials, and the closest to the caravan were the four personnel of the alien warriors Shangguan Tianqi and Shangguan Diping, and the four of them were desperate to kill the Han soldiers who leaned on the caravan personnel.

The melee continued, the caravan personnel escorted supplies in the direction of Qishan, the number of Han troops could be greatly reduced, and the eighteen hussars were occasionally wounded.

There is a lookout on the city wall of Qishan Pass, and the melee two or three miles away can be discovered, and the soldiers immediately report the situation outside Qishan to the city defense general's office, and the pass gate is generally guarded by a deputy general of the left and right banners, and the place of melee is closer to Qishan at this time.

The deputy general defending the city and others discerned the situation and knew that it should be related to the caravan personnel of their country, so they immediately gathered nearly 100 soldiers at the city gate, urged the horses to rush out of the Qishan Pass, rushed through the moat, and went straight to the place of melee.

At this time, the Han army personnel were reduced again, and twenty or thirty people were killed and wounded, and the Han army generals saw that there were already soldiers coming straight in the direction of Qishan, and knew that it was meaningless to fight again, so they immediately issued a military order, and more than half of the Han soldiers who were killed and wounded urged their horses to go straight to Shanjun City.

The eighteen hussars and caravan personnel of Qishan were considered to have been entered into Qishan City by the soldiers, and the materials were saved, and the caravan personnel were killed and wounded no less than ten people, and the soldiers were also slightly injured as many as five or six people.

Lan Qi'er had already received a report in the imperial study, knowing that there was a small-scale war outside the city, and she also rushed to the city gate for a while, and at the same time, the doctors in the city were also invited to the pass outside the city gate to treat all the injured respectively.

Lan Qi'er greeted all the people who entered the city, of course, she immediately ordered everything, and the hussars led Zhang Qiang to report the truth to the empress Lan Qi'er on behalf of everyone.

Lan Qi'er listened to the hussar commander one by one, and knew the reason why there were no exotic caravans in the Qishan Foreign Trade Zone recently, it turned out to be like this!

The Han Dynasty is really immortal, the heart of the ancient country of Loulan is not dead, the Han Emperor Liu Xun actually personally ordered the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, the plan to control the business is really ruthless, it seems that in the future, it will be even more difficult for me Qishan to think that it will be even more difficult to synthesize materials, and it will have to be exchanged for the lives of the soldiers and caravans!
