Lian Zhan was shocked by the prince's boldness, and at the same time admired it very much.

With such a strong control, if he ascends the throne, he will definitely be able to rewrite the history of the Wu Dynasty.

Li Yunxing said: "The second ......"

He paused for a moment, raised his eyes to look at Lian Zhan, and slowly pronounced the words.

"This palace wants to unite the countries of the Western Regions to fight against the Xiongnu." Li Yunxing's vision is skewning.

Lian Zhan was stunned when he heard this.

Li Yunxing continued: "The Xiongnu are wolf ambitions, and sooner or later they will have to fight with the Wu Dynasty. At that time, the Western Regions will become a place where the flames of war between the two sides are burned, and if the Western Regions stay out of the matter, sooner or later they will become cannon fodder for the two countries to fight! ”

"But unlike the Huns, we are not a naturally bloodthirsty people. Now the territory of the Wu Dynasty does not need to expand outward for the time being, so now the Wu Dynasty needs allies. ”

Lian Zhan nodded, there was no problem with what Li Yunxing said.

Recently, he has also received frequent news that the Xiongnu are showing signs of going south to fight again.

In addition, because of Qin Sheng's incident, Qin Zhongyi has now had a different heart, and it is not completely impossible to defect on the spot at that time.

If the northeast is lost, then the Xiongnu can drive straight into the capital.

It would also be a good thing if it united with the Western Regions to resist together.

Seeing this, Li Yunxing said again: "General Lian thinks there is a chance in this matter?" ”

Although he had long planned about the aid to the Western Regions in his heart, he had also calculated the pros and cons of the aid for a long time.

But Lian Zhan is a veteran after all, and he has experience in dealing with foreign countries, so it is always right to listen to his opinions more.

After thinking about it for a while, Lian Zhan said: "I'm afraid this matter is a bit risky. ”

Li Yunxing had a smile on his face, and his eyes were full of appreciation when he looked at Lian Zhan, and he knew that General Lian understood.

"If our Wu Dynasty starts a war with the Xiongnu one day, if the Western Regions want to come to support, I am afraid it will be extremely difficult to succeed."

"What's more, it is not easy for the people of the Western Regions and the Wu Dynasty to maintain a superficial peace. If they want to send troops to the Wu Dynasty, they are afraid that it will be difficult. ”

Lian Zhan voiced his concerns.

The people of the Western Regions are not credible in his eyes, and he is afraid that they will lure wolves into the house when the time comes.

Li Yunxing retreated to the second, "What General Lian said is extremely true. Indeed, the Western Regions are scattered, and if they are to be integrated, it will not be something that can be accomplished overnight. ”

Lian Zhan was also relieved to see that he recognized his proposal.

"But we can't pass up this opportunity. If this palace can really form an alliance with the Western Regions. In the future, the large-scale army of the Wu Dynasty can also use the Western Regions as a barrier, and there is no need to fear the invasion of the Xiongnu. And I heard that the people of the Western Regions are good at raising horses. ”

"You can introduce the horse breeding technique and the good horse BMW of the Western Regions to the Wu Dynasty, and it must also greatly enhance the military strength of the Wu Dynasty!"

Li Yunxing's words completely broke the hesitation in Lian Zhan's heart just now.

This temptation is indeed very strong, which makes Lian Zhan's heart flutter.

If the Wu Dynasty can master the horse taming method in the Western Regions, it can greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the Wu Dynasty's cavalry.

After Lian Zhan thought about it carefully, he said, "This matter would have been discussed with the king of the Great Moon Clan in person. The exact situation is uncertain. ”

Hearing Lian Zhan say this, Li Yunxing was already sure in his heart.

It seems that Lian Zhan has agreed to go to the Western Regions together, which is difficult at the beginning, and Li Yunxing also knows the truth of this matter.

Moreover, the long road to the Western Regions is long, and many of them are wild roads with steep mountains and mountains.

It is precisely because there is no official road that many merchants in the Western Regions will die on the way.

For them, it's a high-risk, high-reward thing.

For Li Yunxing, the same is true.

If you leave this matter to someone else and escape halfway, then the next time you want to do it, I don't know how many years you will have to wait.

Therefore, if Li Yunxing wants to seize this opportunity, he can only send the person he trusts the most.

Only Lian Zhan can be qualified to be the commander of the Western Regions.

Li Yunxing said: "This matter is entrusted to General Lian, and I also believe that General Lian has rich experience and has a passion for protecting the country. This palace hopes that this matter will be decided as soon as possible, and at that time, the people of the world will remember the merits of General Lian. ”

"In the future, it will be admired for thousands of years!"

Li Yunxing hugged his fist at Lian Zhan and bowed solemnly.

Lian Zhan hurriedly stood up and helped Li Yunxing up.

"His Royal Highness praises falsely, and he is ashamed to be ashamed."

Li Yunxing said: "General Lian, don't shirk, this is nothing compared to what you have paid for the entire Wu Dynasty." This matter can only be entrusted to you, and when you triumph, there will be a generous gift. ”

Li Yunxing's tone was sincere, and his eyes flashed with wisdom.

Lian Zhan also understands this.

Li Yunxing has already made up his mind, and Lian Zhan is hypocritical if he shirks it again.

And this matter is indeed more beneficial than disadvantageous to the Wu Dynasty, even if there is danger, Lian Zhan is willing to try.

He should admit: "Since Your Majesty trusts Weichen, then the humble post will do his best!" ”

Li Yunxing laughed and said: "General Lian is really the founding general of this dynasty, and he is really a model of loyal ministers!" ”

Li Yunxing patted Lian Zhan's shoulder and was full of emotion.

He said to Lian Zhan again: "This trip to the Western Regions is a difficult and dangerous journey. If he encounters an enemy, General Lian must be cautious. ”

Lian Zhan bowed his head and promised, and he said: "Your Majesty, Weichen still has one more thing to ask for." ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"The prince only said two reasons, and the minister wants to know why the third reason is?"

Li Yunxing paused, it didn't hurt to tell Lian Zhan about this.

It's just that when it is explained in this way, Li Yunxing really doesn't know how to talk about it.

Then he pondered for a moment, and finally sighed: "Alas! The third reason for this is that Hongu wants to develop agriculture. ”

"Agriculture?" Lian Zhan was a little puzzled.

"The legend of the Western Regions is just a border desert, the Wu Dynasty is a big country, and the fertile fields are all over the wilderness. Isn't it a bit of putting the cart before the horse? ”

This is what makes Li Yunxing feel a headache.

In Li Yunxing's original world, the first person to know that the earth is spherical was Magellan, who sailed the world by boat.

Before that, many people had never been out of their own country, and they didn't even know that there were other people on the planet.

But Li Yunxing, as a prince who had never been out of the Wu Dynasty, couldn't casually tell them this knowledge beyond their cognition.

"This palace just thinks that although the Western Regions region is indeed barren, the people have not completely died of hunger."

"From a certain point of view, perhaps there are some foods in the Western Regions that are not yet known to us, which are more resistant to destruction. In response to extremely bad weather like Jingzhou, there may also be a way to deal with it. ”

"If we introduce those high-quality varieties into the Wu Dynasty, the grain production of the Wu Dynasty can increase greatly, and the price of grain will naturally decrease. It can also solve the fundamental problem of the current food shortage in the Wu Dynasty. ”

Lian Zhan suddenly realized when he heard this.

No wonder Li Yunxing was so eager to send him to the Western Regions.

That's why!
