Facing Zhang Jiashi, Cortiri suddenly had a very strange thought. Pen%Fun%Pavilion www.biquge.info[Ran^Wen^Library][].. [ ] ★ fine ~ color 'east' fang 'wen' xue ○ m hand hit ★ new dagger dagger · qi · middle · wen · 蛧 · first · hair

The other party should be the leader of the Qin army who was almost killed by her in Yongdu back then, but now it is only a few years later, and the other party has become the highest power in Great Qin. For Cortiri, this has to be regarded as an unpredictable fate.

She knew one thing better, that is, everything Zhang Jiashi got now, in fact, it was his own efforts and the efforts of his personnel. Perhaps, the legendary First Emperor who defeated his father accounted for a large part of the merits, because without the support of the First Emperor, it would have been impossible for Zhang Jiashi to get all this.

But in any case, Cortiri's feelings about Zhang Jiashi are quite complicated. Because she was very curious about what kind of belief supported Zhang Jiashi to get to this point.

And Zhang Jiashi doesn't remember much about Cortili, after all, such a long time has passed, and although the two sides have experienced a battle of life and death, I have to say that Zhang Jiashi doesn't think that Princess Xiqiang, who almost didn't kill him, left a deep impression on him.

If Zhang Jiashi knew Cortiri's thoughts, he wouldn't know what to do in his heart.

......

After some pleasantries, Zhang Jiashi was actually just pretending to be confused about the arrival of Cortili. After all, when the other party arrives now, he plans to exchange markets with him and the Great Qin Empire.

But, to be honest, Zhang Jiashi didn't think that the cattle and sheep starved to death in large numbers of Xiqiang because of the famine for many years, and he still had the ability to bargain with the Huns like he did.

It's just that Zhang Jiashi himself knows that he can't say such a thing directly.

He inquired about the Cortiri in front of him, and after considering the words, he said, "Beautiful Princess Cortiri, I don't know what the main reason for your arrival this time is?"

Hearing Zhang Jiashi's inquiry, Cortili smiled slightly: "Your Royal Highness the Regent, the arrival of the little girl this time is mainly for the friendship between the two sides and the exchange of information to negotiate. ”

"For example?"

Zhang Jiashi frowned slightly. As far as he is concerned, he knows what Cortiri said next, that is, if the other party has no accident, he will definitely hope that the Great Qin Empire can provide enough food and winter clothes for Xiqiang.

In fact, Zhang Jiashi didn't think that Gao Jian's initial proposal to get enough clothes was a need for this, and it was very likely that this was just a smokescreen released by the other party to confuse the public.

For such a point, Zhang Jiashi knew it in his heart. After all, the Xiqiang people live in the mountains all year round, and the Xiqiang people, who have a large number of furs to make leather robes, should be saturated with demand for this aspect.

And the most fundamental requirement of the other party should be those clothes.

Zhang Shixin waited for Cortiri to make this request herself.

Since the other party has played the matter of salute first and then soldier, he is not allowed to try to ask for a sky-high price?

Zhang Jiashi didn't know what kind of exchange request Cortiri could make, but if the other party's request was indeed quite unreasonable, then don't blame him for saying more.

As Zhang Jiashi expected, Cortili proposed that Daqin could support Xiqiang with 2 million stone grains and grass, and Xiqiang would provide 500,000 pieces of cow and sheepskin or finished leather clothes in exchange.

In fact, this kind of transaction, for equivalent exchange, Xiqiang is a big loss.

But Zhang Jiashi is not short of warm clothes at the moment. Whether it is the military or the civilian administration, the situation in this regard has not been too scarce. After all, Zhang Jiashi may not be able to get more than this amount from the Xiongnu and Donghu people, but it will not be much less than this number.

However, Zhang Jiashi knew that he didn't need this kind of material very much at the moment, which didn't mean that Zhang Jiashi didn't have the idea of agreeing.

Because Zhang Jiashi knows one thing better, that is, these furs or leather coats may come in handy after two years of war.

What he didn't expect was that his contemplation turned into a gesture of rejection in Cortiri's eyes.

If Zhang Jiashi knew Cortili's thoughts, he didn't know what kind of expression to make.

And what's even worse is that one of the thoughts that Cortiri said again was really unexpected by Zhang Shixin and Chen Ping, who was standing on the side:

"If the regent thinks that Cortili's conditions are not good, then Cortiri can represent Xiqiang and promise to form an alliance with Great Qin to fight against the Xiongnu together. And as the basis of this condition, Cortiri is willing to stay in Xianyang as a hostage. ”

Hearing Cortili's words, Zhang Jiashi was directly stunned, because he really hadn't thought about this aspect of things.

And isn't it too shocking for Cortiri to bring this up?

......

After a while, Zhang Jiashi decided to let Ke Tili and Xiqiang's entourage go to the side hall to rest, while he summoned Chen Ping and others to discuss.

To be honest, Zhang Shixin was really moved by the idea of uniting Xiqiang against the Xiongnu. Because of the Xiqiang people to share the pressure of the Xiongnu from the west, it will be easier for the Great Qin Empire to concentrate its forces against the Xiongnu in the future and inflict heavy losses on the Xiongnu.

However, this kind of idea is quite beautiful, but in fact, neither Chen Ping nor Tu Sui and others agree with Zhang Jiashi's idea. After all, the alliance between the Xiqiang people and Great Qin cannot be regarded as no benefit at all, but they know one thing better, that is, there are not many benefits in doing so.

First of all, Daqin really fought with the Huns, and he didn't know how many years later. Two years from now, three years from now? Or even longer?

God knows.

But for Xiqiang, the fact that they were able to conclude an alliance under such circumstances did not mean that they would also fulfill such a covenant in the future. Once the Great Qin Empire was at war with the Huns, and the Xiqiang people immediately repented and tore up the alliance, this would not be beneficial to Great Qin at all.

Perhaps, the other side will also form an alliance with the Huns to take the opportunity to attack the western border areas of the Great Qin Empire.

If this really happened, it would be difficult for them to effectively deal with the possible joint offensive of the Xiqiang and Xiongnu.

This idea, whether it is Chen Ping or Tu Sui and others, has many people agree.

But Han Xin said something else.

That is, they might as well form an alliance with Xiqiang, and the worries of Tu Sui and others are indeed not unreasonable.

And after Tu Sui and the others heard the idea that Han Xin said, they did not immediately refute Han Xin, but quietly listened to what Han Xin said next.

Han Xin then said some words, which was not a train of thought for Zhang Jiashi and others.

That is, they formed an alliance with Xiqiang, and they did not have to fight against the Xiongnu together, because Xiqiang knew very well that once the Xiongnu were eliminated, it would be cold for them.

So on the other hand, if the Huns then launched an offensive against Xiqiang after solving Donghu, then it would also be a very beneficial thing for the Great Qin Empire.

But Tu Sui raised his doubts, that is, although he had not seen Mao Dun, it did not mean that he thought that Mao Dun was just a general person.

It is unlikely that he will not see that there is no benefit for the Huns to attack Xiqiang.

Han Xin smiled slightly, and he said very confidently: "Mao Dun really wouldn't attack Xiqiang so rashly, but it doesn't mean that Xiqiang will be silent to the Huns."

Han Xin expressed his opinion, that is, the Hexi Corridor is now heard to be seized by the Huns. If the Xiqiang people were to be safe, it would not be very difficult to do so just by relying on the aid trade of the Great Qin Empire.

Because he heard that the pastures of the Xiqiang people are mainly on the side of the Hexi Corridor, and the pastures on the high mountains are just a drop in the bucket for the Xiqiang people.

Hearing Han Xin's words, Zhang Jiashi couldn't help but show a wry smile.

Because Han Xin's idea cannot be said to be wrong, but there is a big omission in this idea, that is, Xiqiang should now control the area around Qinghai Lake.

......

In some later descriptions of Qinghai Lake, it is unlikely that Zhang Shixin is completely clear that the development of animal husbandry around Qinghai Lake does have a natural foundation:

On the shore of Qinghai Lake, there are vast natural pastures, fertile fields, and rich mineral resources. There is a lot of snow in winter, a lot of rain in summer and autumn, and there are sufficient water sources and abundant rainfall, which has good conditions for the development of animal husbandry and agriculture. As early as ancient times, it was an important production area for horses, cattle, sheep and other livestock. The horses produced in the area of Qinghai Lake were famous in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and they were called "Qin Horses" at that time. The ancient masterpiece "Book of Songs" once described the majesty and gallop of the "Qin Horse". Later, in the Sui and Tang dynasties, the horses produced here were mated and improved with "Wusun horses" and "sweat horses" to develop into unique horses. It is not only known for its good rides, but also for its ability to fight.

This is also Qinghai Lake has become an area that successive dynasties want to vigorously develop Ma Zheng, and they all hope to be able to get.

And Xiqiang is already in control of this area at this time, if nothing else.

Qinghai Lake may have become a saltwater lake, but that doesn't mean that large-scale animal husbandry is no longer possible around Qinghai Lake.

And Zhang Jiashi thought of a situation, that is, should he launch an offensive against Xiqiang because of this place in the future?

To tell the truth, Zhang Jiashi was very helpless about the attack on Xiqiang, that is, before occupying the Hexi Corridor, he could only launch an offensive against the Xiqiang region through Di Daoxi, and there was a very fatal situation in this area that he had to adapt, that is, altitude sickness.

And this reaction, in a sense, is indeed the characteristic of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

After all, the Tibetan Plateau is surrounded by many mountain ranges, most of which run from northwest to southeast, and they rise steeply and rise a lot relative to the ground outside the plateau, among which many peaks in the Himalayas in the south are among the top 10 in the world, especially Mount Everest, which is the highest mountain in the world. At the same time, there are many peaks in the interior of the plateau in addition to the plains, and the height disparity is huge. There are also many glaciers, mountain lakes and alpine swamps on the plateau.

Although Zhang Jiashi has begun to gradually develop mountain infantry, for the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which is known as the roof of the world, the adaptability of this mountain infantry may not be able to effectively cope with this relatively extreme climate.

(The incidence of altitude sickness is related to the speed of climbing, altitude, length of residence, and physical fitness.) Generally speaking, when plain people quickly enter the plateau above 3000m above sea level, 50%~75% of people have altitude sickness, but the symptoms gradually disappear after 3~10 days of habit. ）

The main symptoms of this altitude sickness: altitude sickness is a variety of pathological reactions produced by the human body after being exposed to a low-pressure and low-oxygen environment, and it is a common disease unique to plateau areas. Common symptoms include headache, insomnia, loss of appetite, tiredness, difficulty breathing, etc. Headache is the most common symptom and is often a throbbing pain in the forehead and both temporal regions, which worsens at night or in the morning when you wake up.

This situation has a great impact on the march. Although some people can train or are born with some immunity to altitude sickness, the probability of this situation is not large, and Zhang Jiashi has no way to gamble on this situation.

After all, what he wanted to do was fight, not travel.

Of course, training in the Dido area may also have a little effect on the adaptability of this altitude sickness in some way.

But more than that, Zhang Jiashi doesn't think that now is a good time to do this kind of thing.

So after thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Jiashi shook his head and said his decision: "I don't think Mao Dun will launch an attack on Xiqiang because of this, after all, Mao Dun is also a genius, it is impossible for him to use his shortcomings to attack the Xiqiang people who are stuck in the mountains, it is very likely that the other party will still choose the relatively easy to attack and difficult to defend Great Qin Empire as a target." ”

"Your Majesty, what about the alliance?" Chen Ping said softly, and Zhang Jiashi, after a moment of silence, said: "Decline the other party, saying that we can agree to the request of the mutual market." But when it comes to forming an alliance, Lone can't commit to it. ”

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

Regarding Zhang Jiashi's final decision, Cortiri was not surprised after knowing Zhang Jiashi's words.

After all, she could also think of one thing, that is, if Zhang Jiashi was the kind of person who was stunned, it would be impossible to create the current foundation.

For the Great Qin Empire, what Zhang Jiashi needed was not an unreliable ally, but how to speed up the pace of reunification of the Great Qin Empire.

He knew that once the Donghu people were defeated by Maodun, then the next step would be between the Great Qin Empire and the Huns.

He didn't know if he could defeat Mao Dun, if Mao Dun was defeated so easily, he would not have become a Xiongnu Shan Yu with a higher evaluation than Touman in the history of the Xiongnu.

In the relevant records of the Qingyu Lingshu, Zhang Jiashi believes that the most eloquent place of Mao Dun is not that he became a famous Shan Yu in the history of the Xiongnu, but that he was a temptation to Lu Pheasant:

In 195 BC (the twelfth year of the Han Dynasty), Liu Bang died, and Mao Dun wrote to Empress Lü and said: "I am a lonely and lonely monarch, born in the swamp and grew up in the grassland, I have come to the border many times, hoping to visit the Central Plains." Your Majesty ** is the king, but also lonely and lonely, living alone, our two widowed monarchs are very unhappy, there is no way to entertain ourselves, it is better for us to have what we have, in exchange for what we have. After reading the letter, Empress Lü felt that he had been greatly provoked and insulted, and was ready to kill the Xiongnu envoy and send troops to recruit the Xiongnu. At this time, the subordinate Ji Bu dissuaded him, saying that the Xiongnu were like beasts, and they were not worthy of anger over their words. Empress Lu calmly replied to Mao Dun with a letter: "Shan Yu has not forgotten our country, and also rewarded us with letters, we are sincerely afraid, I am old and weak, my hair and teeth have fallen out, and I am not stable in walking, it is not worth Shan Yu to deign and defile himself for me, my country has not done anything wrong, please forgive Shan Yu." Then he continued to give tribute to Maudun carts, horses, etc.

After reading the letter, Mao Dun thought that Empress Lu was an unusual person, so he reined in, gave a gift back, and officially agreed to make peace. After Empress Lü's death, Mao Dun continued to send troops to harass the Han Dynasty many times.

It can be seen that Mao Dun's temptation, for Lu Pheasant, her counterattack ensured a kind of peace on the border of the Han Dynasty.

In fact, Lu Pheasant's letter and the subsequent act of harmony are a bit sad, but Mao Dun can see from this letter that Lu Pheasant's determination to protect the Han Dynasty. He is not the kind of person who can easily explain it, so naturally he will not easily stop fighting because of what Lu Pheasant's letter described.

However, before Lu Pheasant died of illness, the frontier of the Han Dynasty was exchanged for a few years of tranquility that even Wenjingzhizhi could not get, and it is conceivable that Mao Dun knew very well that some women were not so easy to mess with.

......

However, after receiving Zhang Jiashi's promise to the mutual market, Cortiri did not return to Xiqiang directly, but stayed in Shuangyi.

Faced with this situation, Zhang Jiashi was silent, because he didn't think about what the other party had to do if he stayed.

There is no basis for an alliance between the two sides, let alone the idea of exchanging hostages, and what does the other side plan to do if they stay?

Zhang Shixin couldn't figure this out himself.

Of course, one thing that Zhang Shixin didn't expect now was that Cortiri didn't completely give up on the idea of forming an alliance, on the contrary, she thought of an idea that might make Zhang Jiashi accept this suggestion.

If Zhang Jiashi knew about such a situation, he would send Cortiri home directly.

And said a word: "Are you still here, Your Royal Highness Princess, please spare Lonely, the group in the Lonely Family already has a headache, and a certain royal sister will not let Lone go until she has a child." ”

Sometimes, the blessing of Qi people is indeed not so beautiful, at least, Zhang Jiashi said that things like the three thousand beauties in the harem are definitely not a normal person's thoughts......

Because you face so many women, more can only have a weak heart......
