Chapter 132: Sand Bandits, Liji

Yan Yan "Kushan Kingdom." ”

Liki nodded and said, "Yes, that's what the soldiers who followed Creon said. ”

Among the kingdoms around the Kushan Kingdom, the kingdoms that can be called large are the Massa Kingdom, the Greek Federation, the Sarma Tribal Kingdom, and the Fire Luo Kingdom. ”

"The Kingdom of Massa and the Kingdom of Huoluo, which border the Western Regions, are eligible."

Yan Yan said this, looked at Li Ji and said, "You go and find the person in charge of Xuehua, and ask which country has been at war or friction with the Kushan Kingdom recently. ”

Liki nodded, got up and went to Snowflake's station to explain the mission.

Yan Yan continued to sit in his position, looking at the crowded streets, the night in the Yue Clan's capital was still bustling, and there was no curfew yet.

Yan Yan asked the plate and wreckage from the eucalyptus to be taken away, ordered a fruit wine and the rest of the dried fruits, and continued to wait for the fish to take the bait.

Today's court meeting will make many nobles and ministers of the Yue Kingdom unable to sleep, and those with active minds will start to act tonight, depending on who starts first.

On the other side, the Chao Banshee lurked into the mansion of the Prime Minister of the Yue Clan, and lurked towards the room in the backyard, through which the Chao Banshee planned to find the clues she wanted.

The intelligence network of the Yue Kingdom is also very powerful, and there may be some unexpected clues hidden in it.

On the other side, Liki found the person in charge of the Yue's snowflake and conveyed Yanyan's instructions in place, and the snowflake began to act to spy on the relationship between the Kushan Kingdom and the Massa Kingdom and the Huoluo Kingdom.

The eagle that the snowflakes raised to deliver the message flew high in the night, heading west, carrying the secret message on its talons.

Liki left the place and walked back to the embassy, knowing that the city would not be too quiet tonight, so she didn't want to bother Yan Yan.

On the other side, Yan Yan looked at the oncoming figure, clasped his hands and saluted, "I've seen Duke Sartre." ”

Sartre returned the salute, "I've seen the Taishi." ”

Yan Yan stretched out his hand to signal the party to sit down, and Sartre didn't see it, he sat directly on Yan Yan's face, took the grape wine handed by Yan Yan and took a sip.

Yan Yan: "Why did the Duke come here?" ”

Sartre: "The master doesn't need to see outside, just call me Sartre." ”

"I am very interested in the news that the Taishi said at the court meeting today, so I came to visit."

Yan Yan: "I don't know what it is? ”

Sartre: "Taishi, there are no secret words in the next place." ”

"I want to know what the Qin Empire planned for the trade routes to Rome, the Greek Commonwealth, and the Kushan kingdoms."

Yan Yan looked at a scimitar pushed by Sartre, reached out to pick it up, and pulled out the blade of the knife, leaving only the tip of the knife in the sheath.

Then put the treasure knife back on the eucalyptus, Sartre looked down at the treasure knife, raised his head to look at Yan Yan with a calm face, got up and saluted, "Taishi, I will persuade the king in the future." ”

"I don't send it." ”

Sator turned around and strode away, and then people continued to come to test Yan Yan in various ways, asking about the true strength behind the Qin Empire this time.

The vast majority of people got the news they wanted, and they all made a statement openly and secretly.

Late at night, Yan Yan returned to the embassy, and the three deputy envoys were already waiting in the hall, and after seeing Yan Yan, they got up and saluted.

Yan Yan: "Sit down." ”

"Come one by one, tell me all the information you get, and make corresponding judgments."

The next four of them discussed until dawn and made a rough response.

After dawn, the three deputy envoys left the embassy and took the initiative to place the major nobles and ministers of the Yue Kingdom, while Yan Yan went to the palace to discuss the envoy matters between the two countries with King Gattuso.

As time went by, there were more and more people coming and going in the Yue royal capital.

There are still two days left before the deadline, and during this time, the envoys of the Qin State have been constantly visiting the mansions of the major nobles and ministers, and the purpose of each visit's visit is different, which has whetted the appetite of the nobles and ministers of the Yue clan.

It was also under this premise that the king of the Yue clan began to be persuaded by nobles and ministers in turn, so that he agreed to the proposal of the envoys of the Qin Empire, formed an alliance with the Qin Empire, and opened trade routes.

But Gattuso still didn't make up his mind, and this attitude made Yan Yan understand that there must be someone behind this who he didn't know was leading the way things were going.

Qin Embassy.

Yan Yan said to the three envoys, "There is no need to continue these two days, start buying goods, and prepare to go to Qiuzi." ”

One of the deputy envoys said, "Taishi, the Yue Kingdom is over. ”

Yan Yan nodded, "Don't be too anxious, since the other party can't make a decision now, then let someone else make a decision for him." ”

"Whether it's Qiuzi or Loulan, as long as these two kingdoms are interested in cooperating, then the Yue clan will naturally enter this big urn and wait for death."

Yan Yan stood up, "Don't see anyone for the past two days, just pack up and purchase the goods, and prepare to go to the Qiuzi Kingdom." ”

"Yes."

Yan Yan returned to the room, and Li Ji looked up from behind the book and looked at him, and smiled generously, "My lord." ”

What is Yan Yan writing about? ”

"Liji" wrote to Sister Xue to inform her of the situation here. ”

Yan Yan: "What's the news over there?" ”

Liki shook her head, "Still no news has come." ”

Yan Yan nodded, the Western Regions is not the Qin Empire after all, the yellow sand here is full of yellow sand, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and it is difficult for manpower and material resources to move, not to mention that it is still winter.

Yan Yan: "It seems that this year will be spent in Loulan. ”

Ligi: "It's just the right time to experience an exotic New Year. ”

Yan Yan shook his head, "It's not the same time as Xianyang's New Year, so it shouldn't be as lively as Xianyang." ”

Liji: "There are also a lot of merchants from Xianyang in the Western Regions, so I guess they will plan this festival for each other when the time comes." ”

Yan Yan nodded.

Guangyang Jicheng.

Ying Zheng paraded and stayed in the capital of Yan Kingdom, Ying Zheng took Tian Dan and Wei Mei to walk in the corridor, Ying Zheng took one person in one hand, and walked slowly.

Ying Zheng: "The letter sent by the teacher from the Western Regions, what do you think of the things recorded on it. ”

The two women glanced at each other, Tian Dan sighed and said, "Your Majesty, the plan of the Taishi is beneficial and harmless to the empire, and the concubine body is supportive." ”

"From the perspective of the Grand Master, everything that is done is considered by the Empire, that is, Nina's side..."

Wei Mei: "I also agree with my sister's opinion, being able to lay out such a strategy, Taishi is really a blessing to the empire." ”

Ying Zheng's teacher plans to build the Western Regions into a wharf, so that when the imperial army attacks the West, it can use it to move westward, south, and north, and all directions can be turned around in the Western Regions, so it can be said that the Western Regions is a battleground. ”

"And the Yueshi is the first plank of this dock, it is best to be able to take it without blood, in case it doesn't work, then Nina will want you to persuade and persuade more."

Tian Dan: "Your Majesty is already a great honor for our sisters to be able to take into account our sisters' emotions at all times, and I believe that Nina will also understand Your Majesty's intentions." ”

Tian Dan said this, looked at Yingzheng and tilted his head and said: "After all, Your Majesty wrote to the Taishi to ask for the war to be avoided as much as possible and the Yueshi Kingdom was taken, otherwise, with the Taishi's plan, General Wang Jian flew directly to the west." ”

Ying Zheng: "Wang Qian, this old guy is also a violent element, he can't stop after leading the Kunpeng army, and he has been practicing the army on the school field all day long, and he has not relaxed for a day. ”

The two women covered their mouths and chuckled, Ying Zheng, "But I have to say, that is, the crossbow power of this veteran, in less than two years, the Kunpeng army has enough combat power and can be put into the battlefield." ”

Wei Mei: "Has the king forgotten General Mengwu, the current Xuanwu army is already majestic on the Yangtze River and the Yellow River." ”

Ying Zheng: "Mengwu and Mengtian are both the backbone of the Qin army, and I have nothing to worry about them. ”

"On the contrary, it was Zhang Han, the teacher transferred him from the shadow guard and directly became the commander of the White Elephant Army, and I don't know if he can convince the public."

Tian Dan "Since he is a general personally ordered by the Taishi, Zhang Han must be capable enough, otherwise he will not enter the eyes of the Taishi." ”

"Just like Gan Wen, Xianfu is at home, didn't the Taishi directly parachute him and become the general of the Vermilion Bird Army."

Ying Zheng: "The Vermilion Bird Army now has a total of only 200 people, and most of them are drawn from the Shadow Secret Guard, these people will definitely not have any problems, but the White Elephant Army is different, there are 500,000 people. ”

"Most of these generals are generals who have experienced the destruction of the Six Kingdoms, and it is really a bit difficult for them to listen to Zhang Han's words."

Wei Mei: "Your Majesty just believes in the Taishi, since the Taishi chose Zhang Han, then Zhang Han must have that ability, otherwise the Taishi would not have handed over the White Elephant Army to him." ”

"Speaking of which, when Zhang Han was in the shadow guard, he has always been His Majesty's confidant, and His Majesty's understanding of him is also very clear, and His Majesty knows what kind of ability he has."

Ying Zheng laughed when he heard this, and then changed the topic and stopped talking about these political affairs.

Another palace.

Fusu and Yan? The two sat together, with their daggers by their side, chatting about some food.

Fusu: "What is the teacher doing now. ”

Inflammation?" I don't know. ”

"The letter sent by my mother said that my father and Qi Niang went to the Western Regions and were no longer in Xianyang."

Fusu: "Didn't Shi Niang go?" ”

Flame? Shake your head, and then the flames? said: "Father seems to have deliberately let Yan Yan and them enter the army to hone their training. ”

Fusu "Go to that one army." ”

Inflammation?" I don't know, it seems that when the time comes, they will be left to choose for themselves. ”

Fusu: "My father also intends to let them into the army, do you say that they will be together at that time." ”

Inflammation?" Probably not! ”

Fusu "I also want to go to the army, but unfortunately my father and teacher are not allowed, saying that I should learn how to govern the country." ”

Flame? Seeing Fusu laugh heartily, he said, "My father allowed me to enter the army, saying that as long as I am old, I can follow Meng Wu or Wang Jian at that time." ”

Fusu "is so envious, I also want to go to the army." ”

The waiter listened to the conversation between the two on the side, and there was no sadness or joy on his face.

The military reform of the Qin State made those who heard it feel a trace of fear, that kind of strength was completely beyond their opinion, the huge Kunpeng Trap Beast could transport five hundred people at a time for thousands of miles in a day; It is said that the large Xuanwu warship, which is covered with catapult bed crossbows and giant crossbows, can carry 300 people in the Yangtze River and the Yellow River unimpeded.

On land, the White Tiger Trap Beast White Elephant, which was transformed from the Mo family, although its speed slowed down, its combat effectiveness did rise in a straight line, and it was equipped with a catapult bed crossbow and a crossbow machine, which could completely protect the Qin army for attack.

I heard that the Gong Defeat Revenge led the Aircraft Academy to continue to research and optimize these trap beasts, so that they can fight in all terrains.

Although the two armies of Suzaku and Ape were small in number, they were both real elite soldiers, and each of them was selected from an army of 500,000.

These soldiers made Gai Nie understand one thing, that is, this day has changed greatly, it is no longer the era of manpower in the past, and the envoys have lost the scenery of traveling between countries.

In this era, the Qin Empire will occupy the absolute center, and any person or kingdom will be the foil of the Qin Empire.

Western regions.

The Qin Empire's envoys left the Yue Clan's capital and continued towards the Qiuci Kingdom in the Western Regions.

In the yellow sand, the envoys' ranks were not alone in the caravans, which carried the flags of various countries and rode camels on the sand dunes.

Yan Yan judged that most of the kingdoms behind those banners belonged to the Western Regions, and there were also the banners of the Kushan Kingdom and the Peacock Kingdom.

Yan Yan looked at the banner of the Peacock Kingdom, and was extremely surprised in his heart, after all, it was very rare to see them in the Western Regions.

The Qin Empire and the Qiang tribe also had trade contacts, and the Peacock Kingdom was the first choice to go to the Qiang tribe, and now these people are willing to go far and far, which can prove that the trade routes in the Western Regions have a great reputation.

Riki: "Childe, look over there. ”

Yan Yan looked in the direction that Liji pointed, and the yellow sand in the sky flew up.

At this time, the guard stepped forward and said, "Taishi, it's a sand bandit." ”

Yan Yan "didn't leave any of them, killed them all." ”

The guards nodded, leaving a few guards to protect the convoy, and the rest of the guards rushed towards the bandits.

The next scene stunned many businessmen who were ready to fight desperately.

Under the crossbows in the sky, those sand bandits fell on the yellow sand before they could rush to the guards, and then the guards rushed into the opponent's formation, and the sand bandits fell one after another on the back of the camel.

On this side, Yan Yan looked at the yellow sand on the ground, where he felt the rhythm of life.

Yan Yan looked at Li Ji and said, "Under the yellow sand about five feet ahead, there are five people lurking and approaching. ”

Li Ji drew her sword and jumped towards the position Yan Yan said, and the long sword in her hand stabbed straight towards the yellow sand.

Then Liji flew and landed three feet away, and blood was still dripping from the sword.

Liji looked at the four people who came out of the yellow sand, her eyes were beautiful, and she took the initiative to attack.

Yan Yan swept the battle for her on the side, so as not to have an accident for her.

Liji's strength is good, and her actual combat experience is okay, but her ability to fight life and death is insufficient, and Yan Yan is afraid of accidents.

The surrounding guards surrounded the convoy at Yan Yan's signal to prevent anyone from coming to disturb them.

These talented people living in the Western Regions have a high ability to drill sand, and they can sneak into the yellow sand at every turn, making it difficult for Liji to kill the enemy quickly.

A knife appeared in Yan Yan's hand, and Hugh sank into Liji's feet, and then there were only two people left to fight against Liji.
