Chapter 523: The Choice for Haji
Chapter 523
"I'm back, nothing happened." Qin Xi asked.
"There was no accident, King Loulan agreed to send troops, but it is estimated that it will take a month, and the number of troops is only 100,000. This is the largest number of troops that Loulan can muster," Zarelina lowered her head, and her voice became lower and lower.
Although she knew in her heart that this was Loulan's greatest strength, in front of Daqin, this strength was too weak.
Qin Xi nodded, not surprised, took Zarelina's hand, and said, "This matter is very good, since this is the case, then wait another month." โ
"Thank you, husband." Zarelina leaned on Qin Xi's chest. Now Qin Xi has basically touched Loulan's strength, and the maximum number of troops on the expedition is 100,000, and the total strength of Loulan will not exceed 200,000.
Loulan is also a vast and sparsely populated country, and these 200,000 troops must be scattered in various oasis cities in peacetime, and the strength of a city is only tens of thousands or even thousands.
Loulan's strength is not the most terrifying, the most terrible is the desert of Loulan, if you can't figure out the road, even if a million troops enter, it is estimated that if you can't find the city of Loulan, you will all be buried in the desert.
However, the Qinxi Chamber of Commerce and the major chambers of commerce are now very close to Loulan, and these merchants have long figured out the route and weather of Loulan.
Qin Xi didn't believe that after these westbound businessmen, Daddy would not arrange for them to go in and investigate secretly, and Daddy's ambition was no smaller than his own.
After Qin Xi pulled Zarelina to sit down, he asked, "After you go back, will anyone make things difficult for you?" Has anyone bullied you? Zarelina smiled: "I am now the wife of the crown prince of Great Qin, who of them dares to bully me, they are very good to me." โ
"That's good, otherwise, when the Hun army is wiped out, I will only lead my troops south directly and destroy all the people who bully you." Qin Xi said viciously.
"Thank you, husband." Zarelina was so moved by Qin Xi that she was about to cry. Qin Xi smiled: "Okay, it's all a family, say no thanks." โ
"Hmm." Zarelina rubbed her eyes and asked, "Husband, have you found the traces of the Hun army?" Qin Xi said: "It's on the other side of the mountain, I originally planned to enter the palace, but since Loulan is also coming, let's wait for Loulan." If there are more people, it is also extremely beneficial for us. Zarelina suddenly said: "Husband, I did something wrong, and I ask my husband to punish me." โ
"What's the matter? As long as it's not important, it's okay, even if it's important, the husband will help you. Qin Xi said.
"Husband, when I was talking to King Loulan, King Loulan wanted the Tianshan region, I agreed at the time, and asked my husband to punish him." Zarina suddenly fell to her knees.
Qin Xi hurriedly hugged it and said, "I thought it was a big deal, that's it, it's okay, it's just a Tianshan region." โ
"But the Tianshan region is very wide, and the climate is suitable, it is an extremely important area in the Western Regions, so it really doesn't matter if you give it to Loulan like this?" Zazhelina asked cautiously.
"Of course." After Qin Xi sat down, he put Zarelina on his lap and said: "After all, this side of the Tianshan Mountain is too far away from Daqin, and Daqin's rule on the grassland is not yet stable, even if you hold the Tianshan Mountain in your hands, it will be difficult to hold it, so it is better to give it to Loulan." โ
"And if I, Daqin, really want the Tianshan Mountains, after I have consolidated my rule on the grassland, the 100,000 army will be able to recapture the Tianshan Mountains." Qin Xi said.
Zarelina was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Your Highness, will Great Qin start a war against Loulan in the future?" Qin Xi looked at Nahe Zarelina and said, "Husband, I don't want to lie to you, Your Majesty and I are also ambitious." โ
"Thank you, husband." Zarelina leaned on Qin Xi's shoulder, although in the future, Daqin would join Loulan to fight, but the husband did not lie to himself, which was already very satisfying.
ยทยทยทยทยทยท On the grassland, Meng Tian was building a fortress while clearing the tribes left behind on the grassland.
Since getting the news from Qin Xi's side, it can be determined that there is no longer a Xiongnu army on the grassland, and the Qin army no longer needs to look forward and be afraid.
Some small tribes, after seeing the Qin army, took the initiative to surrender, for such tribes, the Qin army directly exempted them from the status of criminals, but to help the Qin army build a fortress on the grassland.
As for the other tribes, after a battle, those who survived became sinners.
"General Meng, the tribes on the grassland have basically been cleared, and I ask General Meng to help me rebuild the tribe." Haji came to Meng Tian and pleaded.
Meng Tian glanced at Haji, then put down the battle report in his hand, got up and said, "Leader Haji, if you rebuild the tribe, in what capacity is it on the grassland?" โ
"This~" Haji was stunned, because he really didn't know what identity he should be on the grassland, but once the tribe was rebuilt, would it impact the Qin people's rule in the grassland?
At this moment, Meng Tian said: "My Great Qin has already established a fortress on the grassland, Your Excellency Haji should also know what my Great Qin means, the grassland is already the land of my Great Qin." โ
"If Your Excellency Haji rebuilds the tribe on the grassland, it is equivalent to asking my Great Qin for the entire grassland, do you think my Great Qin is so selfless?" Haji lowered his head and said, "But we are allies!" Isn't it the right to help allies? Meng Tian smiled and said, "It is precisely because we are allies that I will take in His Excellency Haji and those of your subordinates. โ
"Actually, Your Majesty has already made arrangements for you. As long as you nod your head, Your Majesty will crown you as the Marquis of Beile and move to Xianyang, and future generations will not have to live this migration on the grassland. Haji looked up and asked, "Excuse me, do I have no choice?" Meng Tian smiled and said, "Your Excellency Haji, go back and think about it." Haji gave Meng Tian a deep look, then turned to leave.
Wang Ben happened to pass by Haji, and after Wang Ben walked into the big tent of the Chinese army, he asked, "What is this guy Haji doing here?" โ
"He wants us to help him rebuild his tribe." Meng Tian said with a smile. Wang Ben also smiled: "Isn't this guy talking stupidly, if he is allowed to rebuild the tribe, then how can I rule the grassland in Great Qin." โ
"Leave him alone, His Majesty has already given him a good choice, if he doesn't choose such a good thing, then there is no way." Meng Tian said: "How is the situation on the other side of Donghu? โ
"His Royal Highness the King of Shu has already received news from there, and there has been no movement on the Donghu side of the gold so far." Wang Ben said.
Meng Tian nodded and said, "Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't need our support anymore, it's time to use force against Donghu." โ
"His Royal Highness the King of Shu also means this, the Ji country has been completely solved, the king of the Ji country, Ji Chang, has died in the chaos, and the 100,000 army can all be invested in Donghu." Wang Ben said.
"The 100,000 army of the King of Shu plus the 200,000 army of our army, a small Donghu, is enough."
