Originally, Lian Po didn't want his son to take this risk, crossing the desert and traveling thousands of miles away, and the danger was even better than a war.

But Lian An repeatedly insisted that the chicks should not always hide under their father's wings, and only by spreading their wings and soaring can they become real eagles.

Seeing that his son insisted, Lian Po had no choice but to agree.

"Before leaving, the king told me that I could give up the goods if necessary, so as to save everyone's lives." Mao Sui's gaze swept over everyone's faces, and finally said slowly.

When everyone heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and with this guarantee, they also had a reassurance in their hearts.

In order to seek wealth, if they give up the goods, they should not be embarrassed.

Immediately afterwards, an unwilling emotion emerged from everyone's hearts.

Along the way, except for a few major battles at the beginning, all the countries saw them respectfully and respectfully, and the bandits had to go around far away when they saw them.

How has there ever been such a time of grievance?

"The goods are just temporarily stored in Wusun, and when they return to Zhao and play the king, they will personally raise an army, break through Wusun, and ask for all the goods with interest."

】

Lian An clenched his fists and looked in the direction of the Wusun King's Palace, his face was a little hideous, and he couldn't wait to bring someone to rush into the palace now and capture the Wusun King to Zhao State.

"Yes, our Zhao State is not a soft persimmon, just one Wusun, thousands of elites can be swept away. When the time comes, it will be up to him to see what Wusun can do. Mao Sui said in a deep voice.

When everyone heard this, their faces softened a lot.

But anyone with a discerning eye understands that it is impossible for Zhao to cross thousands of miles and put a large army into Wusun, and the supply along the way alone will cut off this road.

The Juyan Ancient Road is different from the Hexi Corridor, most of the deserts along the way, and it takes a long way to come across an oasis, and a caravan of hundreds of people is already the limit.

Unless Zhao can unify the Central Plains in the future and send troops from the Hexi Corridor, attacking Wusun is just nonsense.

But Mao Sui believes that there will be such a day.

"Are we going day or night?" Huai asked.

"During the day, walk in the open. Wusun has complex terrain, mountains and rivers, and they know far more about this place than we do. We don't have any advantage in walking at night, it's better to walk during the day. Mao Sui said.

"Do you want to spend money to recruit some mercenaries from Wusun? Not everyone in the country obeys the orders of King Wusun, and if we spend money, we should be able to recruit many people to work for us. Huai's younger brother Thorn suddenly thought.

"I've been thinking about this before...... But how can we be sure that they will listen to us? Instead of rebelling at a critical time. The Wusun people are greedy and do not pay attention to faith. It's too risky, and it's up to us. Mao Sui shook his head.

He had already mistrusted Usun once, and he couldn't misbelieve it a second time.

"The Wusun people can't even call the battle clouds, the organization and discipline are poor, the combat effectiveness is not as good as Rong Di, and the language is not comprehensible. If there are fewer people, it is useless, and if there are too many people, we will not be able to recruit them, and in case of rebellion, I am afraid that the last general will not be able to protect everyone. Lian An also said.

"It's a subordinate who doesn't think it through." Thorn said with his head down.

"Have you found the guide? It can't be a Wusun. Mao then looked at He, who was in charge of the matter.

"I found two, one from Dawan and one from Kangju. In addition, his subordinates also drew a map of the way when we entered the country of Wusun. He said.

This is also one of the characteristics of the Central Plains, which attaches great importance to maps.

Generally speaking, when you draw a map of a place, you think you have it.

Either it's been knocked down, or it's ready to be beaten.

"Where's Kangju?" Mao Sui asked curiously, he, like those ordinary soldiers, only knew that there were so many countries outside after leaving Zhao State.

"It is said that it is still in the northwest of Wusun, and it is a country with similar strength to Wusun." He said.

"If we can leave the goods, we will go to Dawan and Kangju after leaving Wusun, and if the goods are robbed by Wusun, we will return to Zhao. You don't have any comments. Mao Sui said.

"No comment." Everyone shook their heads, this was the only option.

"Okay, then let's go back and prepare, we will leave in three days, and General Lian An will stay." Mao Sui waved his hand and said.

"No."

After everyone left, Mao then got up and walked outside, "General Lian An and I will go outside for a walk to see how many people Wusun has sent to keep an eye on us." ”

……

"My Majesty, are we really going to do something to those merchants from the East?" In the palace, Dalu Yoshihiko said anxiously.

Dalu is a great official of Wusun, with a high and powerful position, and his status is equivalent to that of the minister of Zhao, but Dalu has his own military power, even if he is the king of Wusun, he can't change it if he wants to.

"They brought silk and fine porcelain that we had never seen before, and a small piece of silk could be exchanged for half a cart of oxen and sheepskins plus some gold and silver, and they brought with them two hundred cartloads of goods. What a terrible treasure this is, Dalu will not be unaware. With this wealth in place, my Wusun's strength can rise to a whole notch, and it may even become the most powerful country within a radius of five thousand miles. King Wusun said.

"Then what about the Zhao Kingdom behind them, just one caravan has brought such a huge amount of wealth, how much wealth does the entire Zhao Kingdom have? The strength of Zhao Guo must be something that I, Wusun, cannot resist. We can't offend a strong country with all this money. Doing so would bring unbearable disaster to the entire Wusun. Dalu Yoshihiko's breathing was a little short, his eyes were on fire, and he wanted to rush forward and pull King Wusun's clothes.

"That's a caravan? Look at those soldiers in fine armor, I Wusun Kingdom may find such an army? With the same number, I'm afraid that even the king's guards can't defeat this army, and you tell Ben that it's a merchant? It was clearly an outpost sent by the Zhao State to attack my Wusun. If I, Wusun, don't fight back, the next time I will not come with 500 soldiers, but 5,000, or even 50,000. General Kun Jian pointed to the outside of the palace and said loudly.

If there were no five hundred soldiers, Wusun might not have such a strong sense of crisis, but the existence of five hundred soldiers made Wusun feel a kind of terrifying oppression from a mysterious country in the east.

Just escorting the caravan is so elite, so when the army of Zhao State comes to the city, what will Wusun resist?

However, if there were no soldiers to escort them, the Zhao caravan might not have been able to reach the Western Regions so smoothly.

It was different from the caravan that Qin sent tentatively, but only carried a small amount of goods.

Zhao Guo was very well prepared, not only with a large number of goods, but also in geology and hydrology, linguistics, maps, musicians, physicians, including veterinarians.

Huge wealth will inevitably attract people like Wusun to covet it, and the Juyan Ancient Road is more dangerous than the Hexi Corridor, and the caravan of Zhao State would have died on the way without an escort.

A peck and a drink, all have a fixed number.

"Those soldiers were just sent by Zhao State to escort the caravan, and they didn't make any radical moves along the way. Moreover, the existence of these soldiers can also prove how much Zhao attaches importance to these goods. Once we make a move, we may face tens of thousands of troops in the future of the Zhao State. The king must think twice. Dalu Yoshihiko said bitterly.

"Da Lu dares to guarantee that those soldiers are just guards? Zhao Guo doesn't have any thoughts about me Wusun? Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you don't have an idea now, what about ten years, twenty years, a hundred years from now? Do you want to depend on the mercy of my enemies for the survival of my Wusun? Da Lu is right, my Wusun's move will inevitably offend Zhao Guo, but has Da Lu ever thought that my Wusun can also take this opportunity to improve his strength, maybe he will be able to block Zhao Guo in the future? General Kun Jian said in a shocking voice.

"What if you don't block it?" Yoshihiko asked rhetorically.

"At that time, it must be the general who will lead the army to resist the Zhao army, if it is not blocked, what will happen to the general, you don't know?" Kunjian squinted at Yoshihiko and walked outside without looking back.
