The emperor had already mentioned the matter of the great gift in the letter, but Qin Chonghai had never guessed what it was, and when he saw that Zhang Qian was about to say it, he was busy cheering up and listening, but Zhang Qian sold it and said to Boyan: "The humane general is unparalleled in wisdom, I don't know if you might guess what this great gift is?"

Zhang Qian inquired, Boyan couldn't help but answer, but beckoned Wang Yangming over and said: "Grandpa praises falsely, how dare Boyan boast of his wisdom, I think it's better to let General Wang talk about it." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Wang Yangming immediately stepped forward, bowed his hand to Zhang Qian slightly, and said: "As the last general expected, within three days, there will be capable soldiers from the Northern Army, the Zhennan Army, the Northeast Army and the Southwest Army of Daxia Town to come to the Northwest Front to help. ”

Boyan nodded and smiled, and gave Wang Yangming an encouraging look, Zhang Qian stroked his palm and laughed: "There is a scheming general Boyan in the Northwest Army, and now there is another general Wang Yangming who is strategizing, it is really prosperous! General Wang expected it to be good, and the Holy Lord has ordered 10,000 elite soldiers from each of the four border armies to come here for reinforcements. The leader of the northern army of this town is still an acquaintance of General Wang. ”

Wang Yangming's heart brightened, and he replied: "The one who leads the Zhenbei Army must be my eldest brother Qi Jiguang!"

Zhang Qian, Boyan, and Wang Yangming all laughed, and it was only at this time that Qin Chonghai learned what the holy gift that Boyan and Wang Yangming guessed was. He looked at Wang Yangming with admiration on his face, and said in his heart that this kid didn't know what the structure was in his head, but he could guess it with Boyan. But in an instant, his admiration was replaced by ecstasy, and he said loudly: "With 40,000 elite soldiers coming to help, won't the total number of our Northwest Army reach nearly 150,000?

Boyan picked up a glass of wine, stood up and said to the audience: "The Holy Heart is arbitrary, creating such favorable conditions for our Northwest Army, we soldiers naturally have to do our best to reciprocate." Today is an extraordinarily good day, so let's make a big splash about it!"

The rest of the people raised their glasses and drank freely, and the laughter spread far and wide.

After three rounds of drinking, Boyan took Zhang Qian's hand and whispered: "There is another matter, which is a little tricky, and I hope that Lord Zhang will help." ”

Zhang Qian hurriedly asked what was the matter, Boyan said that Che Chi sent troops to occupy the northern border of Khotan, Zhang Qian frowned, and said slowly: "This Ali Hague is a very shrewd character, since I met him, I feel that sooner or later a **** will become my confidant in Great Xia." It's just that this person is extremely practical, and at present, my Xia Bing's prestige is high, and it is impossible for him to provoke us at this time. But he played just right, I once told him that as long as he is sincere and at peace with my Great Xia, we will not take the initiative to provoke him, and we can also share a little profit with him, so that he can expand his territory. Now he's coming to me with my original words to ask for interest. ”

Boyan knew that Zhang Qian and Ali Hague had already made an agreement beforehand, he pondered for a moment, and said solemnly: "Since there is such a relationship, I have more concerns, dare to ask my lord, this car is late 20,000 people, do we eat or not?"

Zhang Qian was silent, and only replied after a while: "I came to **** this time, and I am not qualified to point fingers at the situation in the northwest." But General Boyan, we are a lifelong friendship, and I can be honest with you about my thoughts. Although the strength of the fifteen countries of the Western Regions is far less powerful than that of my Great Xia, but the territory is vast and the natural environment is harsh, we don't have the strength to wipe them out. Besides, what Ali Hague wants is nothing more than a small profit, so wouldn't it be better for us to give him this bit of land in exchange for his sincerity, and then go to other places to open up more territory?"

Boyan nodded deeply and said, "With Lord Zhang's words, Boyan already knows what to do. However, I am not embarrassed by his Che Chi Guo's actions, and I will never let him eat this piece of fat so easily, and he must pay a little price. ”

Zhang Qian already knew what Boyan was going to say, took Boyan's hand, signaled that he didn't have to say it explicitly, and said with a smile: "Since I'm here, I naturally want to meet this old friend." Rest assured, general, everything is wrapped up in me. ”

On the second day, Boyan immediately sent a delegation to Chechi with Zhang Qian, and ordered Wang Yangming to lead a hundred eagles to escort him. He originally wanted to send more manpower, but Zhang Qian said no, he expected that Ali Hague would not dare to make any moves against him, and he would appear to be weak when he led more troops.

This trip has not yet arrived at the middle school of Che Chi Guozhong, Ali Hague has already personally left the country to greet him, and he has hugged Zhang Qian for a long time, and the joy of reunion after a long absence on his face is so true.

The two entered the capital of Chechi, and Ali Hague held a banquet for Zhang Qian, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious. When Zhang Qian was about to talk about his sexuality, he suddenly said to Ali Hague: "I once promised my brother that when I used force against the Western Regions in Great Xia, it would be the day of your border expansion. Now I haven't broken my promise. The land of more than 1,000 miles in Khotan, is the general still satisfied?"

Ali Hague naturally had a grateful expression, and said a lot of thanks. Zhang Qian chased after him: "Now that Great Xia is determined to annex the countries of the Western Regions, Che Chi is friendly with my Great Xia, so naturally we will not do anything to you, but what is the future status of the two countries, we still have to discuss it carefully." ”

Ali Hague smiled silently, just waiting for Zhang Qian to continue. Zhang Qian simply explained: vassals, worship, tribute, and trade. These four articles could not be clearer, they were to ask Che Chi to declare that he was willing to be a vassal state of Great Xia, and the king should go to Chang'an once a year to worship Emperor Hongwu, pay a certain amount of tribute to Great Xia every year, and allow free trade between the two countries.

Ali Hague immediately agreed, which was unexpected by Zhang Qian, thinking about when this old fox was so good at talking, but saw Ali Hague order the civil official behind him to take a document, and said: "My Che Chi's admiration for Daxia is well known to the world, and we can't ask for these conditions mentioned by my brother." But since Che Chi has become a vassal state of Great Xia from now on, do you have to fulfill a little of the obligations of the suzerain?"

Zhang Qian ordered Biluo to translate the document, but saw that the four articles he had just said had already been written in it, and he said in his heart that this old fox had already calculated the situation and knew that it could not be used, so even the treaty was prepared. However, after saying these four articles, the document changed its pen and put forward several conditions: Great Xia must not interfere in Chechi's internal affairs, and must not have any objection to the movement of Chechi's army within its borders; recognize the Khotanese territory occupied by Chechi; give Chechi a yearly coin; and Emperor Hongwu will marry a princess in his country to King Chechi, and the two countries will always be good sons-in-law.

Zhang Qian knew that once this treaty was signed, Che Chi would become a major threat to Bactria in the Western Regions, but in all fairness, Ali Hague's conditions were not excessive. He accepted the paperwork and said to Ali Hague: "I have no objection to these conditions, but I still need to ask the emperor for instructions before I can reply to you." Especially the last intermarriage, which involves royal majesty, is not something I can call the shots. ”

Ali Hague expressed his understanding that the two sides did not mention political affairs again, but just drank and talked happily.

When Zhang Qian returned to the Boyan army, he immediately sent someone to report to Chang'an and explain the matter. Half a month later, news came from Chang'an City, and the emperor personally approved it, agreed to the conditions proposed by Ali Hague, and decided to marry his beloved daughter Princess Yinchuan to the little king of Che Chi Kingdom, and then marry the little king when he became an adult.

said that it was a princess, but in fact, a young and beautiful palace maid was selected in the palace, and the emperor adopted the palace maid as an adopted daughter, and gave her the title of Yinchuan princess, so that the family came to make peace.

Zhang Qian immediately informed Boyan and went to Chechi Guozhong to deliver the news. Ali Hague was overjoyed and set up a good banquet again, this time even Boyan and Wang Yangming were also invited.

Wang Yangming saw that the little king was sitting on the top of the table, and he was so demented that he only cared about eating, and he had to be fed by the palace maid before eating, and he was too lazy to do it. Seeing that this little king bubbled up from time to time, I thought that this Yinchuan princess didn't know what kind of character she was, and the youth and girl's years were about to be buried in the hands of such a child, and from then on she lived a life like house arrest in this desert sandy land, and it was really not cultivated in her previous life.

Of course, he is not the princess of Yinchuan, and he may not be able to guess what others think. Maybe this selected palace maid is 10,000 happy to be the princess of Chechi.

But this little king is a dead king, that's certain, with Ali Hague's power and ability, this little king can only be born in the deep palace and grow up in the hands of a woman, what kind of climate can he become? When Ali Hague is old, he is afraid that he will abolish this little king and make his son emperor, and it may not be known.

These things are not something that he can worry about as a little Huaihua Zhonglang.
