Chapter 367: Connecting the Seven Kingdoms, Liu Bang's Ambition
Qiuzi, Kuqa City.
Guizi Wang Jiangyan frowned and looked at Xiangguo Baixi, who was standing at the bottom.
"Are you saying that the Qin people have not changed the government affairs of Loulan, Cheshi and Yanqi, and they have basically not changed much except for canceling the title of the king and planting the banner of the Qin people?"
Bai Xi nodded.
"That Zhenyuan general Liu Ji, greedy for money and lustful, is to call friends every day, drink and have fun, in addition, almost only ask Loulan, Cheshi and Yanqi any specific affairs, because of this, the situation of these three small countries is stable, not only has not been affected in any way, but because of the attachment to Daqin, the support of Daqin, the development is very ......"
Bai Xi knew that his own king was worried about this, but as a turtle Xiangguo, he had to say something. There was a pause in his tone, and then he continued.
"These three kingdoms, not only have a large number of trade contacts with Daqin every day, from Daqin in exchange for a large number of exquisite silky silk, exquisite porcelain, as well as delicate fine salt like the snow of the Tianshan Mountains, and the whole vehicle of fine tea bricks, and the Qin people also sent people to help them build water conservancy, provide grain seeds, and guide the local herdsmen to farm, because of this, many people have run to their side, especially near Bosten Lake, the population has increased greatly......"
Secretly observing the face of his own king, Bai Xi secretly swallowed his saliva and said astringently.
"Your Majesty, it can be expected that with the support of the Qin people, the strength of Loulan, Cheshi and Yanqi will grow rapidly, and when the time comes, the powerful neighbors will be on the side, plus Wulei, Quli, and Weitou, Wensu and Gumo along the Aksu River, and other countries, now they are intimidating the army of the Qin people, and their attitude is ambiguous, if the matter is urgent, it will ...... in an emergency."
Speaking of this, Bai Xi closed his mouth very knowingly.
He is Xiangguo, and he can help the king analyze the interests and disadvantages and point out the problems, but besides, it is a bit beyond his own Xiangguo's duty.
In the king's tent, the king of Qiuzi was silent.
Although he had long expected that sooner or later there would be such a day, he didn't expect that this day would come so quickly, in less than half a year, Liu Ji, who was greedy for money and lustful, knew that he was looking for joy every day, and had a lustful voice, quietly developed to this point.
In just one battle, the powerful Wusun was defeated and retreated.
In the past, those small countries that surrendered to their side and needed to rely on their turtles to breathe changed their attitudes and began to come into frequent contact with the Qin people.
Although Bai Xi didn't say it explicitly just now, he knew very well what situation Qiuzi would face next.
Once the countries along the Aksu River, such as Yutou, Wensu and Gumo, also completely fell to Daqin, then Qiuzi became a roadblock between Daqin and Yutou, Wensu and Gumo.
As long as the Qin people still have thoughts about the Western Regions, they will never tolerate their existence.
"What should I do?"
King Jiangyan of Qiuzi was in a heavy mood, and after Bai Xi left, he was silent for a long time before he summoned the second prince he valued the most.
"The son visits his father......"
Looking at his most valued son, standing in front of him with a respectful expression, Jiang Yan's face couldn't help but soften a little.
"How's it going for you to investigate......?"
"Father Qiqi, it has been found out that the seventeen tribes, including Yanxi, Rongzhi and Qiu Brown, have all been connected with the Qin people openly or secretly......"
"This group of dog thieves who eat inside and out, how can this king treat them badly!"
Although he had expected it in his heart, when he really heard the news about himself, Jiang Yan couldn't help but scold, but after scolding for a while, he stopped boringly.
These tribes were originally white-eyed wolves that could not be fed.
He had a loose relationship with these tribes, especially with the three major tribes of Yanxi, Rongzhi and Qiuhan.
When the turtles were powerful, they were like dogs, crawling over, obeying the orders of the turtles, and now that the Qin people are powerful, they wag their tails and beg for mercy before the Qin people, which was originally expected. He knew that now even his Bai Xiangguo might already be secretly communicating with the Qin people.
After he finished scolding, he was silent for a long time before he looked at his second son, who had been standing quietly aside.
"What do you think we should do now......
Looking at Jiang Yan, whose sideburns had begun to turn gray, Jiang Yan felt for the first time that his father, who used to dominate the Western Regions and said the same, was old.
He looked up and looked sharply at his father.
"Father, the Qin people are so powerful that even Wusun has to retreat, and we are afraid that it will be difficult for us to stop them. Rather than surrender to others, it is better to abandon this place and move the whole country. β
Speaking of this, he strode over to the map hanging in the king's tent and said in a deep voice.
"Father, from now on, go west, along the Kashgar River, over the Alai Mountain, and you will reach Dawan! If we can take it, we can become the foundation of our country, if we can't take it, we can also move westward......"
After Jiang Yan finished speaking, he suddenly turned around and looked at Jiang Yan, who was already covered with empty flesh and his body was already full of twilight, and a trace of perseverance flashed in his eyes.
"I've heard from merchants from the west that there are still large tracts of fertile land west of Dawan, which are enough for us Qiuzi people to recuperate and even open up a larger territory......
Looking at the ambitious second son, a look of hesitation flashed in the eyes of the king of Qiuzi.
After all these years of pampering, he has long lost the sharpness of his youth.
He is already old, and he no longer has the ambition to abandon his family and business, trek through mountains and rivers, and then attack cities and villages, and expand the territory, even if he has that ambition, he does not have that ability.
He is already like an old eagle, a wolf king who has lost his teeth, and may die on the migration road at any time. Then, like a wild dog, he was abandoned on the road.
"Iβthink again......"
Jiang Yan suddenly didn't dare to face the eyes of his second son.
"Now that the situation is critical, I am worried that the Qin people will not give us too many opportunities to hesitate, and I ask my father to make a decision as soon as possible......"
Seeing the hesitation in his father's eyes, he sighed silently in his heart and turned to go down.
β¦β¦
Three days later, the king of Qiuzi sent Xiangguo Baixi to visit Liu Ji, the general of Zhenxi, the envoy of the Great Qin.
After getting Liu Ji, as long as he is attached to Daqin, in addition to the people of Qi, the troops must obey the dispatch of Daqin, in the country of Qiuci, everything is as before, and even the king of Qiuci can continue to govern Qiuci After a clear reply, King Jiangyan of Qiuci finally made up his mind to submit a credential to Daqin and officially request to be attached!
It is worth mentioning that on the night when King Qiuci made this decision, the second prince of Qiuci Kingdom, with his 3,000 elite soldiers, left Kuqa City overnight.
King Qiuzi, who got the news, was in a complicated mood and was silent for a long time before waving his hand a little weakly.
"Let him go......"
β¦β¦
When it was learned that Qiuzi, the former overlord of the desert, had completely fallen to Great Qin, the surrounding small countries, including Wulei and Quli, as well as Weitou, Wensu and Gumo further west, also submitted credentials to Great Qin, requesting that the king be removed and attached to Great Qin.
At this point, General Zhenyuan of Great Qin and Liu Ji, the special envoy of the Western Regions, effortlessly unified the northern part of the Western Regions, and the troops directly radiated to the foot of Mount Alai and arrived in Shule.
Further west, there are towering mountains, and over the Alai Mountain, it is Dawan, who is famous for its good horses!
Yuanqu City.
Liu Ji stroked his rather complacent beard, looking excited and high-spirited.
"Even if it is a child's interest - report success, report victory, this time we can't say that we have to take the lead......"
"Big brother, you say, will we be like Han Xin's guy and make a marquis to be a ......?"
Lu Juan also couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, stepped on the stool, picked up the wine bowl in front of him, and drank it all.
"When Lao Tzu goes back this time, he must take a good look at the face of the county commander!"
Speaking of this, this guy suddenly leaned forward to Liu Ji.
"Big brother, you said this, if I propose to Gong Lu, can I be a brother-in-law with my eldest brother......
When Liu Ji heard this, he squinted his eyes and looked up and down at his old brother.
"Brother, people have to be a little self-aware......"
Lu Wan was immediately anxious when he heard this.
"Big brother, what you said is wrong, no matter what I say now, it is better than you were at the beginning, what else did you have except a butt of debts? If I go back this time, I have to be a decent general, isn't it worthy of being the son-in-law of his Lu family! β
Liu Ji glanced at him, picked up the wine bowl in front of him, took a big sip, and then scolded with a smile.
"What does Lao Tzu have, Lao Tzu is better looking than you!"
Lu Juan: ......
"What's so great about being good-looking! Lao Tzu can marry a lot of beautiful little ladies! β
Lu Wan scolded and stuffed a large piece of mutton into his mouth. Then he touched the wine bowl with Liu Ji fiercely and drank it all.
"Lao Tzu, I'm going to find a few little ladies from Qiuzi......"
This goods, after speaking, went out in a huff.
Liu Ji couldn't help laughing, and casually grabbed the beautiful woman that King Qiuzi had just offered, and hugged it horizontally to his knees. Not to mention, these little ladies of the turtles, although they look strange at first glance, but after looking at them for a long time, they still think they are very good-looking.
Especially the body is hot, and the skin is as white as goat's milk, which has a different taste.
The paperwork for the victory has been sent.
While enjoying the service of the maid, he pondered, His Royal Highness the former Emperor Eldest Sun will destroy the four kingdoms in one day, is he almost right?
Why don't you wipe out the small countries in the south?
The more he pondered, the more he felt that this could be done, and suddenly he lifted the woman in his arms, lifted his pants, walked to the map hanging beside him, and thoughtfully drew small circles on it.
Although Lu Juan said just now that he wanted to make a marquis in charge, he was disdainful, but he was really a little tempted.
That's a feudal marquis!
But he also knew that it was so easy to become a marquis?
Xiang Yu swept across the grassland, but he just got the position of a general. Of course, the county lieutenant of a place, that is already a big man who has reached the sky.
As for Han Xin's house, it was pure luck, when he followed the emperor's eldest grandson, he once attacked the city and destroyed a country alone, and then followed His Royal Highness the emperor's eldest grandson to attack Hexi, and repeatedly made military exploits, becoming the first person of His Royal Highness the emperor's eldest grandson.
Later, he swept Hedong, cleared the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, captured Donghu, and captured the king of Donghu.
Inside, with the strong support of the right minister Feng Quji and His Royal Highness the emperor's eldest grandson, he became the youngest marquis of Daqin.
If he wants to be a marquis, his current merits alone are definitely not enough.
However, if the Western Regions can be completely pacified and brought into the rule of the imperial court, then it may really touch the side of the feudal marquis!
"General......
The maid of Qiuzi, who was overturned to the ground, came up with some grievances, and Liu Ji suddenly felt that these women were not fragrant.
"Go, go, Lao Tzu is busy with business, don't delay Lao Tzu's promotion and make a fortune......"
Maid:......
β¦β¦
"What, General Liu Ji pacified the countries of the Western Regions without spending a single soldier?"
When the news reached Dunhuang, Zhang Han couldn't help but open his mouth wide. Chen Ping couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
After receiving the order from the imperial court, he had just completed the handover with Xiao He and handled the affairs of Hexi County properly, so he hurried to Dunhuang to meet Zhang Han.
Prepare for war, enter the Western Regions, assist Liu Ji in clearing Wusun, completely pacify the Western Regions, and expand the territory for Great Qin again.
As a result, Liu Ji gave himself a big move, and a few days after the news of the previous defeat of Wusun, the back foot won the Seven Kingdoms of the Western Regions in a row, including Qiuzi!
It's a little awkward.
If he and Zhang Han go again at this time, wouldn't it be the credit of robbing Liu Ji?
Zhang Han and Chen Ping looked at each other.
"Sure enough, it's still the lord who has a unique vision, to be honest, when the lord recruited General Liu Ji and General Lu Juan, I really didn't find their strengths......"
Zhang Han couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"I didn't know that General Liu Ji's methods were so clever, but I felt that I was quite in agreement with him, so I invited him to Dunhuang to help me, and I never thought that as soon as he entered the Western Regions, he would shine......
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but walk to the map in his study and look up at the map of the Western Regions that he had studied countless times.
"This is a great achievement for the imperial court to expand thousands of miles, with this, General Liu Ji is afraid that the marquis is hopeful......"
Chen Ping couldn't help but feel envious.
But he asked himself, even if he went to the Western Regions, he might not be able to do Liu Ji so lightly.
"This Liu Ji, if he is wise and foolish, he is amazing......"
Of course, he definitely didn't know that General Liu Ji, who was admired by him and praised as wise and foolish at this time, just hesitated in front of the map for a while, then succumbed to the beauty, hugged his new Qiuzi beauty, and went to have a good time.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
When Liu Ji got the news that he had successfully arrived in Shule without spending a single soldier, taking the seven countries of the Western Regions lightly, expanding thousands of miles of land for Great Qin, Zhao Ying and his party had already crossed Yunmeng Daze and arrived at the boundary of Changsha County.
At this time, it was the 37th year of the Great Qin Shi Huang, November 27.
