But Zhuge Xu was not in a hurry to refuse.

After all, support operations don't have to be about sending troops to fight.

For example, after the large-scale disarmament of the Great Wei, a lot of weapons were eliminated, and perhaps these could be used to help the Kushan resist the Persians.

Who said that it is necessary to send troops to support the operation?

Anyway, it's right to do more business with the Kushan people now.

The Great Wei does not need war at the moment, what is needed is development, that is, Sassanid Persia, in fact, it can also trade, and the trade distance of the people can be farther and larger than that of the Kushans.

And the King of Guishan seemed to think more than that, when the banquet was over, the King of Guishan ordered the governors to rest, and he himself had to lead Zhuge Xu to the office to talk.

But he took Zhuge Xu's hand, and as soon as he got up, he was stopped by several governors.

The Grand Doge stood in front of the king, smiling.

"Great, the envoy has come from afar, and he should go and rest first, besides, there are thieves along the way, and we are also trying to ask the envoy about these things, so that the king can break it, and ask the king to allow the messenger to go to the guest house to rest first, and then come back tomorrow."

The King of Kushan was furious.

Obviously, these governors were unwilling to let the King of Kushan and Zhuge Xu be alone.

In fact, on the way here, these ministers talked to Zhuge Xu about a lot of things.

The most they said was that they hoped that Zhuge Xu would not participate in government affairs, and they would fully cooperate with trade and other matters, but for the internal situation of Guishan, they hoped that Zhuge Xu would not bother.

Not only one person said this, but almost all the governors he met along the way said so.

They are afraid that an outside force will upset the balance of the day.

The situation of the Kushan king was really miserable, his royal city was facing the Persians, while his satraps were in the rear.

When the king's army suffered heavy casualties, the local army ceased to be the king's army.

The Kushan King would not spare any foreign aid that could change the status quo, and the Governors knew it.

Therefore, along the way, they frequently vouched for Zhuge Xu, asking Zhuge Xu not to get too close to the king on the grounds of various convenient trade.

At this moment, seeing the conflict between the two groups, Zhuge Xu just narrowed his eyes and pretended not to find anything.

King Kushan looked at the people in front of him, his royal guard leader had already put his hand on the hilt of his sword, and many other guards were also eager to try.

At the slightest command from the King of Kushan, they would rush forward and quickly subdue the governors.

The corners of King Guishan's eyes twitched, but he didn't dare to act rashly.

If all the governors were there, he could have gone on a killing spree, but that was only part of the story, and if he had killed them, the rest would have rebelled

King Guishan looked at Zhuge Xu and said very strongly: "Today, I want to discuss big things with the angels, and the matter of thieves and thieves will be talked about tomorrow!" ”

With that, he motioned to the guards around him.

These people quickly separated those governors, and King Kushan left here with Zhuge Xu so strongly.

The governors watched their departing backs faintly, silent.

King Guishan and Zhuge Xu walked into the room where government affairs were handled, and the two sat facing each other, and King Guishan showed his truest appearance.

He looked tired, even compared to Zhuge Xu, who had come from thousands of miles away, it was not much better.

A venerable monk sat right next to them.

This monk is a famous local monk.

The Kushan King usually gathers some celebrities around him.

These scholars included monks, doctors, mathematicians, and architects.

King Kushan still trusts these people.

"At present, Guishan is facing a great enemy, and you have seen what I have encountered, and I hope to get the help of Emperor Wei."

"If it can help me calm the domestic situation and help me defend against this foreign enemy, I am willing to be Wei Chen for generations!"

King Kushan was very sincere.

Zhuge Xu was unmoved.

If Great Wei has the ability to interfere in the affairs here, do you need to be a minister for generations to come?

However, Zhuge Xu still made a sad look, "I already know it, don't worry, I will tell Your Majesty about the matter here, if Your Majesty learns about it, you will definitely not turn a blind eye." ”

Zhuge Xu could only comfort the king in front of him.

To tell the truth, it will take almost two years to come here once, and it is difficult to say whether the king will be there or not the next time the envoy comes here.

But hearing Zhuge Xu's comforting words, King Guishan was extremely excited.

It's like a person who has been drowning for a long time and suddenly finds a life-saving straw.

He hurriedly shouted out the door.

Soon, a half-grown child came up to them.

King Guishan asked him to salute Zhuge Xu, and then said: "This is my eldest grandson, I named him Bo Tiao, just in the hope that he can inherit the wish of the ancestors."

Obviously, on the Guishan side, they don't pay attention to any evasion, they like to give their children the names of their ancestors.

Bo Tuo also looked at Zhuge Xu curiously.

King Kushan continued: "I hope he can follow the angel to Luoyang and come to meet the emperor in my place"

Zhuge Xu was a little worried, "The journey is far away, and the grandchildren are young"

"He is already the strongest of my many descendants, if even he can't reach Luoyang alive, then my Guishan really can't get the protection of the gods."

Zhuge Xu talked a lot with the King of Kushan on this day, from the future trade between the two countries, to the reinforcements he hoped to get, and many local problems.

King Guishan even promised to send a part of his group of celebrities and scholars to Luoyang with Zhuge Xu.

Zhuge Xu can be regarded as having completed the goal of this mission.

I hope that when I return to Luoyang, Guishuang will continue to exist.

And the accompanying officials are not doing nothing, they are looking around to find out the situation in Guishan, as well as the situation around Guishan.

They wrote it down for His Majesty's proclamation.

Of course, there are also people who write books.

If people like them can write a book about Guishan after they go back, they will definitely be able to leave a name in history and become a famous person from now on.

Zhuge Xu stayed in the royal city for a month, during which he met many governors and marshals.

Nobles from all over the world also often visited, and even some people from far away would come to visit.

Among them were the "Qin people", these Roman merchants were particularly curious about the Great Wei, and Zhuge Xu was even more curious about them.

During the conversation, Zhuge Xu even got some maps from them.

These maps are all travel maps of their travels from their own country to Shangjia, and they are extremely precious, and Zhuge Xu only used some silk and porcelain to successfully obtain these.

Even, some Persians secretly contacted the accompanying officials under Zhuge Xu.

Zhuge Xu stayed in the palace of the Kushan king, and the Persians could not be contacted, but those accompanying officials could still find opportunities to communicate.

The Persians also had their own power in Kushan, and even many governors and marshals had already secretly taken refuge in the Persians.

Righteous and bright with the currency of the Persians.

And the Persians contacted Zhuge Xu's subordinates at this moment, in fact, the purpose is very simple.

They also want good things like silk.

The Persians seized Khorezm, which the Kushans had previously controlled, and from then on, the Persians were able to communicate directly with the Western Regions.

The Persians also did not feel that the country of porcelain was at war with the Kushans for their sake, and if they were to trade, they would be more able to trade than the Kushans.

Zhuge Xu did not go to see the Persians in private.

However, his officials talked to the Persians "on their own".

After staying for three months, Zhuge Xu finally set off to go back.

Zhuge Xu brought a lot of things, including celebrities, monks, doctors, mathematicians, architects, etc., as well as many special ornaments, ivory and so on.

King Guishan personally sent him to the gate of the city, and Zhuge Xu led his entourage to leave slowly.

On the way out, Zhuge Xu met with the local governors several times and discussed many important matters.

The road back was just as long, but because of the previous experience, it was much better.

Zhuge Xu brought a lot of doctors this time to prevent attrition on the road.

These famous doctors are not all incompetent, there are indeed masters among them, and the attrition has been effectively reduced.

Along the way, it is not just an endless desert, there are cities and tribes, Zhuge Xu can supplement along the way, of course, you have to beware of the possible sneak attacks of those nomadic tribes.

Zhuge Xu couldn't remember how long he had been on the road.

When Zhuge Xu reappeared in Qiuzi County, Shazhou, it was already the end of the sixth year of Ganlu.

As soon as Zhuge Xu approached here, he saw a large number of cavalry, which made Zhuge Xu extremely worried, and it was not until he saw the banner they raised that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But when he got closer, Zhuge Xu felt a great difference.

Outside the city, you can see many busy farmers, but inside the city, there are suddenly a lot of buildings, the roads have become unusually smooth and neat, and you can see many merchants selling along the streets.

For a moment, Zhuge Xu felt as if he had returned to Yongzhou.

The officials who greeted them laughed at this moment, "Since the establishment of the county, it has been like this, and the officials have governed with their hearts, and they no longer dare to waste their money on the pagoda and stone wall. ”

Zhuge Xu was confused, "There is also a county here??" ”

"There are five counties in Shazhou today, and the officials are complete"

Zhuge Xu rested in Qiuzi County for three days, and then continued on his way.

It's just that after leaving his hometown for a few years, Shazhou has become so different, so isn't the change in the Central Plains even more terrifying? ?

Today's Shazhou is different from the beginning, the vassal kings are no longer actually controlled, but governed by the county guards and county commanders, and the level of governance of these people, of course, is not comparable to the vassal kings, when the money is used in serious matters, the unbearable financial situation of the Shazhou countries has suddenly been greatly improved.

Even Shazhou has shown a strange kind of prosperity.
