Seeing this, Loulan Guojun breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly filled the wine glass for Mao Sui with a smile on his face.

The dignified monarch is so humble, and there is no one left.

"I wonder how many people there are in Loulan? How many victories?" Mao Sui glanced at Loulan Guojun and asked in a deep voice.

"Envoy, my Loulan has a population of more than 20,000 and 5,000 victorious soldiers." Loulan Guojun said cautiously.

"Loulan Jun, do you know how many people my Zhao country has and how many victories there are?" Mao Sui took a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, chewed it slowly, his eyes slowly crossed the top of everyone's heads, and said slowly, without taking Loulan Guojun and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs in his eyes at all.

"Xiao Wang doesn't know." The monarch of Loulan and the minister of civil and military affairs were sitting precariously, bowing their heads slightly, not daring to move.

Those who don't know think that Mao Sui is the monarch and Loulan Jun is the minister.

"My Zhao State has 50 million people, 3 million armor, 1 million cavalry, and 1,000 generals. Lou Lanjun thinks that your country and my Zhao country are stronger or weaker?" Mao Sui said.

"The envoy laughed, my Loulan is a small country, where can it be compared with Zhao State." Loulan Jun shook his head bitterly, he didn't know if what Mao Sui said was true or false, but he could see an endless stream of caravans passing through Loulan every day, and the property carried by each caravan was beyond the reach of him, the king of a country.

In the past, there were some Hu and Qiang people who liked to plunder the caravan of Zhao, and after Meng Fu led the army to plow twice, from the Hexi Corridor to the vicinity of Cheshiguo, no country dared to attack the caravan of Zhao.

It was Zhao Guo's extremely tough attitude that made Loulan full of worries.

Loulan is different from those countries in the Western Regions, they are too close to Zhao, it can almost be said that they live next to each other, if the official road is built, Zhao can rush to Loulan with a rapid march, and destroy it in less than a day.

Lou Lanjun was afraid of Zhao Guo, but he didn't dare to offend Zhao Guo, and he was worried all day long, for fear of becoming the king of the dead country.

"Last year, my Zhao State pacified the Hu people in the north and wiped out dozens of tribal countries, large and small, the weakest of which was several times stronger than Loulan. I, the Zhao State, have only dispatched 10,000 soldiers and horses." Mao then raised a finger.

"Congratulations to Zhao Guo." The corners of Loulan Guojun's mouth twitched twice, trying to squeeze out a smile.

"My Zhao country is a peace-loving country, and I have always paid attention to people who don't offend me, I don't offend people, and if people offend me, they will be killed. The northern Zhuhu have repeatedly invaded the borders of our Zhao State, killed the people of our Zhao State, plundered the property of our Zhao State, and occupied the territory of our Zhao State. I, Zhao Guo and Hu people, will not die...... However, I Zhao Guo and Loulan don't have any hatred, right?" Mao Sui looked at Loulan Guojun.

"Yes, yes, my Loulan and Zhao Guo have always been friends." Loulan Guojun was stunned for a moment and nodded again and again.

To tell the truth, the trade between Zhao and the Western Regions, and the caravans that come and go every day have also promoted the development of Loulan to a certain extent, if it weren't for the too much pressure brought by Zhao State, Loulan Guojun would not mind making friends with Zhao State.

"I, Zhao Guo, don't want something unpleasant to happen between me and Loulan." Mao Sui took out a document from his sleeve and put it in front of Loulan Guojun, "This is the national letter drawn up by my Zhao Kingdom, as long as Loulan Jun signs it, we will be our own people in the future, and I Zhao will protect Loulan Kingdom."

It is said to be a national document, but in fact it is an unequal treaty.

Loulan recognized Zhao as the suzerain, and needed to pay a tribute of 1,000 war horses to Zhao every year, and the monarch had to go through the canonization of Zhao, and the heir had to stay in Zhao as a hostage and learn Zhao culture.

Loulan was exempt from taxes on the Zhao caravans, and the Zhao caravans were free to trade in Loulan, and Loulan had the responsibility and obligation to protect their safety.

Zhao had the right to send officials and garrisons in Loulan, and in wartime Loulan should obey Zhao's dispatch and send troops to fight with Zhao.

Loulan's law is simple, if Zhao people commit crimes in Loulan, they need to be handed over to Zhao State for trial and decision, and Loulan has no right to deal with it privately.

……

Every time Loulan Guojun saw one, his face darkened a point, and by the time he finished reading them all, his face was already darker than the bottom of the pot.

In the national letter, almost all of them are the responsibilities and obligations that Loulan should fulfill, and the only obligation that Zhao needs to fulfill is: Zhao should send troops to support Loulan when it suffers from foreign enemies.

"Simply

The deception is too much, this king has repeatedly retreated, Zhao Guozhen is not able to make me Loulan mud?" Loulan Guojun stood up suddenly, staring at Mao Sui with his eyes, and roared angrily.

Zhao Guo was simply too rampant, he didn't take him seriously at all, even if there was a little bit of him in his eyes, Lou Lanjun, he couldn't do such a thing.

"So...... Did Lou Lanjun refuse?" Mao Sui picked up the wine glass, drank it slowly, raised his head to look at Lou Fujun, and said calmly.

"Yes, as long as this king is still the monarch of Loulan, he will never agree to Zhao Guo's unreasonable request." Lou Lanjun said firmly, there is no difference between the conditions of Zhao Guo and the death of Loulan, and it is impossible for him to agree to it no matter what.

'Oh. Mao Sui slowly stood up, and suddenly pulled out the saber at his waist, and the sword light flashed, and scarlet blood gushed out of Lou Lanjun's throat like a spring.

"Now you're not the king of Loulan." Mao Sui looked at Lou Lanjun and said lightly.

Loulan Guojun fell to the ground heavily, two eyeballs protruded from his eye sockets, his face was full of shock, he never thought that Mao Sui would dare to kill him in the palace.

How rampant this is!

Whoa!

Seeing this, the guards on both sides were immediately shocked and quickly surrounded Mao Sui in the middle.

A group of civil and military ministers were so frightened that they retreated again and again, looked at Mao Sui in disbelief, and just disagreed, and the envoys of Zhao State beheaded their king?

"You have to think about it. Now it's just a Loulan monarch who died, if I die here, the entire Loulan country, more than 20,000 people, don't even think of living." Mao Sui looked at the Loulan soldiers on the third floor inside and three layers outside, without the slightest fear, the blood-dripping long sword was inserted into the scabbard, and strode outside.

Whoa!

Loulan Shi stood in front of Mao Sui.

"Let the envoy of Zhao go." The old minister sighed deeply and waved his hand.

The entourage hurriedly followed behind Mao Sui, and the scene just now almost scared him to death.

Back in Zhangye County, Mao Sui met Meng Fu and Gongsun Long, clasped his fists and said, "I also ask the two governors to forgive their sins, and their subordinates have not been able to complete the mission."

"Lou Lanjun didn't agree?" Meng Fu's face sank, and his right hand subconsciously rested on the hilt of the sword. "It seems that it is not possible to send troops, this general will report to the king and send troops to capture Loulan Jun alive."

"The subordinates have already killed Lou Lanjun." Mao Sui said.

「！」 Meng Fu looked at Mao Sui fiercely, a scribe on the other side was even more reckless than himself, and he killed Loulan Jun in the Loulan Palace, and he could still come out alive?

"At this time, the country of Loulan is in chaos, and his subordinates suggest that the governor immediately send troops to take Loulan overnight." Mao Sui clenched his fists and said.

"Let's ask the king first, after all, it's a country to send troops." Meng Fu said, and quickly wrote a letter and sent it to Handan. Anyway, with the letter eagle, you can receive a reply the next day at the latest, so it's okay to wait.

……

Zhao Kuo had a very happy time during this time, nothing major happened in Zhao Guo, all government affairs were handled by someone, he just needed to look around the country.

How the country is governed, and whether the people are doing well, can only be known by seeing it with your own eyes, and you can't feel it just by the cold words on the fold.

Zhao Kuo is not afraid of assassination, he himself is a powerhouse in the Transcendent Realm, and he is also ranked among the top in the world, and there are two big bodyguards on the left and one on the right, and Gai Nie became a powerhouse in the Saint Realm some time ago.

Even if there is someone who doesn't have long eyes to assassinate Zhao Kuo, he is not Gai Nie's opponent.

Lin Xiangru, Li Mu and others were busy moving people and property, in order to keep everyone from dying on the road, Lin Xiangru and others specially spent money to hire a large number of doctors to see everyone for free.

In the past, they didn't care about these civilians, the two sides were completely two classes, and there would be no intersection. But now, these civilians are their treasures, and when they are placed in the Western Zhou Dynasty, they are equivalent to the people of the country and the foundation of a country.

When encountering foreign enemies, they will bring their own weapons and war horses to follow the country to defend against the existence of foreign enemies.

They all feel distressed when they die.

Wei Wuji and Tian Dan even sent people to run directly

to the State of Wei and the State of Qi to pull people.

Zhao Kuo pretended not to see it, as long as it was not Zhao Guoren, they liked to do as much as they wanted, that was their ability.

To put it mildly, the population that has been pulled over is all enhancing the strength of Zhao State.

Even if they are county dukes, they are also the county dukes of Zhao State, and they need to pay money to Zhao State every year, and they have to listen to Zhao Guo's orders.

Didn't those small countries in the Western Zhou Dynasty also have to obediently listen to the words of the Zhou Dynasty? It was not until the Spring and Autumn Period that the declining Zhou Dynasty was gradually disregarded.

There was a gap of hundreds of years.

Zhao Guo is only the sun that has just risen, and it is still early before the sun wanes.

The kings of Wei and Qi watched the population under their rule shrink, and although they were very unhappy and even annoyed, they did not stop it in the end. They are kings in front of the countrymen, but in front of the clan, they are only equivalent to the patriarch, and they can't cover the sky with one hand.

Everyone understands the truth that eggs can't be put in the same basket, and now that Zhao is becoming more and more prosperous, the trend of dominating the world is becoming more and more obvious, and the Wei family and the Tian family must also make a choice.

To put it bluntly, the benefits given by Zhao Kuo directly bought the Wei family and the Tian family behind Wei Wuji and Tian Dan, and the king of Wei and the king of Qi were no longer the only choice.

Just like in the last years of the Shang Dynasty, Wei Ziqi ran away from the country, and finally defected to the Zhou Dynasty and was sealed the Song Dynasty.

In the barracks, the Great Wall Army was training, and Zhao Kuo was watching with a few children.

It can be seen that the Great Wall Army is more than one grade stronger than before, and every move can drive changes in the surrounding space, and the majestic aura even surpasses Zhao Feiqi.

Yan Ju's eyes were a little lonely, Zhao Feiqi had always been the pride of Zhao and the most powerful legion of Zhao State, and now, it was finally surpassed by the new legion.

Although Yan Ju was happy for the strength of Zhao Guo, his heart was full of unwillingness.

He watched Li Mu lead the Great Wall Army step by step to today's height.

And when Zhao Feiqi was handed over to him, it was the Army Soul Legion, and now it is still the Army Soul Legion......

Sometimes I have to admit that there is a gap between a general and a general.

"Father, can we ride a horse?" Zhao Ponu said excitedly, and Bin, Zhao Zheng, and Zhao An also looked at Zhao Kuo expectantly.

No boy can refuse a horse any more than they can refuse an excavator.

"Go ahead, be careful." Zhao Kuo said.

"I'm going to ride a bloody horse."

"I want it too, I want it too!"

……

The four little ones jumped and rushed towards the stable.

"You go along and take a look, and help them pick a more docile one." Zhao Kuo said to Touman.

"The last will go." Touman hurriedly followed.

After a while, the four little guys rode out on war horses, and I have to say that the sweat and blood BMW is indeed handsome, the smooth fur is like silk, the slender neck and thighs, and the lines of the whole body are very in line with human aesthetics.

The local war horses of Zhao State are only pure white horses that can compete with one of them in terms of appearance.

"Good horses, but unfortunately there are too few of them." Zhao Kuo looked at the sweaty BMW and couldn't help but sigh.

Zhao Guo has accumulated so many years, and there are only a few dozen purebred sweat and blood BMWs, not even a hundred.

Dawan's control over sweaty BMWs is very strict, prohibiting transactions between merchants, and even Zhao Guo is difficult to buy.

"If the king wants, can't he send an envoy to Dawan to buy it, now that the Hexi Corridor is in the hands of my Zhao country, it is convenient to come and go." Guo Kai said.

"The sweaty BMW is Dawan's national treasure, and Dawan won't sell it." Zhao Kuo shook his head, if he remembered correctly, in history, Dawan fought two battles with the Han Empire because of sweat and blood, and finally killed the monarch.

It is estimated that Dawan didn't expect the Han Dynasty to be so reckless, and actually sent troops across thousands of miles to beat him.

If Zhao had now unified the Central Plains, Zhao Kuo would not mind following the example of the Han Dynasty and making an expedition to the Western Regions, no

Guo Zhao is still some time away from unifying the Central Plains, and it is a little early to march into the Western Regions.

"You can give it a try, even if it doesn't work, it's nothing." Liu Ping persuaded him.

"Then give it a try." Zhao Kuo thought for a while, what Liu Ping said did make sense, even if it didn't work, Zhao Guo would not lose anything.

Moreover, in history, the Han Dynasty and Dawan had conflicts, mainly because the Han Dynasty envoy was too stinky, too hard-tempered, and too stubborn, and he didn't treat Dawan as a human being at all, can people not be angry?

The envoy of Zhao is a little stronger than the envoy of the Han Dynasty, talk about it well, spend a little more money, and it is still possible to buy some bloody BMWs.

What he didn't know was that the envoy of Zhao State, who he thought was a little stronger than the envoy of the Han Dynasty, had just killed the monarch of Loulan......

"The minister has a brother named Guo Yuan, who has been witty since he was a child, is familiar with history books, and can be sent to Dawan." Guo Kai leaned over and said.

"Then let him go, bring more gifts, and have a better attitude." Zhao Kuo admonished.

"No." Guo Kai said.

"Chu State buys horses from my Zhao State, and my Zhao State also buys horses from Dawan, hahaha." Zhao Kuo said with a smile.

Some time ago, the State of Chu sent an envoy to the State of Zhao to buy horses, but in the end the State of Zhao refused.

Now the grasslands in the north, northeast, and northwest are all controlled by the Zhao State, and the little horse farm left by the Qin State is only enough for the Qin State to use for its own use, and it is impossible to sell it to the Chu State.

There are horses in the south, but the Dian horses ...... Riding that thing into battle will be laughed at.

The state of Chu could only find the state of Zhao to buy horses.

But how could Zhao Guo agree.

It's not ten years ago, Zhao and Chu were allies at the beginning, but now they are enemies.

Zhao Guoke had no intention of being an enemy.
