Chiqiu calmed his face and said slowly: "Let go of him." ”

Lin Xi broke free from the restraints and turned around and said, "What does King Guishan mean?" ”

Qiqiu said coldly: "I respect you as a warrior, leave you a way to live!" Expelled the Qin envoy from Kushan! ”

Immediately, Lin Xi was carried out by several people.

Qi Wucong frowned and said, "King, this person is so rude, why don't you kill him!" ”

Qiqiu shook his head: "It's one thing to break with Great Qin, it's another thing to kill the Qin people, if the Qin people die in Guishan, with the character of the Qin Emperor, he will definitely not give up!" ”

Then he sighed lightly: "I thought that taking advantage of the Qin people's unpreparedness to take down the Peacock Dynasty would greatly increase my strength, but I didn't expect the Baicheng Dynasty, the Zhiduo Dynasty, and the Morava to be so difficult!" Now that the Qin people have learned the news and sent an envoy, I am worried that the Qin people will take advantage of the fire to rob. ”

As soon as Qiqiu's words fell, someone walked in.

"King, the Qin army in the area of Green Ridge has withdrawn, leaving only the Fan army and more than 3,000 people to garrison!"

Qi Qiu and Qi Wu Cong glanced at each other: "At such a juncture, how did the Qin army withdraw?" ”

Before the two of them could think deeply, someone ran in in a panic.

"Great King, the 40,000 people of the Qin army have marched from Chihuo City to the border of Kangju, and it is expected to arrive at the northern border of my Guishan tomorrow!"

Ruler Qiu was shocked, immediately stood up from the chair, and said in a deep voice, "Are you sure?" ”

"Sure! The leading generals are Wang Jin, the right general of the Western Regions, and Han Xin, the left general! ”

"What? Han Shin, that madman is also here? ”

Wang Jin is familiar to him, although he has never seen Han Xin, but Han Xin's name is like thunder in the countries of the Western Regions!

Without him, since Han Xin returned to the Western Regions, he killed nearly 80,000 people at one time in the rebellion in the old land of Huqi! To this day, Han Xin is still searching for the rebels and rebels in Huxi, and has killed more than 20,000 people intermittently!

Now everyone in the old land of Huqiang is in danger, living in fear all day long, not to mention rebelling again, two acquaintances dare not greet each other when they meet, for fear that they will be considered planning a rebellion and a conspiracy against the same party!

At the same time, the policy of learning Qin etiquette, speaking elegant dialects, and abiding by Qin customs was also implemented most thoroughly in Huqi, and Han Xin even directly recruited many tongue people who were proficient in two languages, and ordered all children under the age of ten to enter the school to learn the Great Qin dialect and etiquette!

Naturally, Qiqiu also heard about it, and sent someone to investigate, only to find out that Han Xin alone destroyed half of the countries in the Western Regions! The leader of the battle of the Western Regions was Wang Li, and Great Qin did not deliberately publicize Han Xin's exploits. Coupled with the great exploits of destroying Wusun and defeating Hujiao, Han Xin's name of "killing gods" has resounded throughout the Western Regions!

Ruler Qiu's face turned a little pale, and he instantly slumped in his chair.

Although Qi Wucong was arrogant, he was not stupid, and after being silent for a long time, he said in a low voice: "King, do you want to call the Qin envoy back?" ”

Ruler Hill was caught in a dilemma.

What if Lin Xi is called back? It is impossible for Guishan to withdraw his troops from the Peacock Dynasty, it took so much money, food and military strength to take the Peacock Dynasty, once he withdraws the army, not to mention that he is unwilling, the generals below may not agree!

But the soldiers of the Qin army pressed the realm, even if they couldn't do it for a while, but there was a fierce beast squatting on the side of their couch salivating, how could they sleep!

After thinking about it for a long time, Qiqiu's expression gradually became firm.

"Decree peace with the Hundred Hinayana, Quata and Malava! Leave most of the troops to hold on to the Mauryan Empire, and transfer 10,000 heavy cavalry and 20,000 foot soldiers to the northern border! At the same time, another 30,000 soldiers will be conscripted! ”

Qi Wucong gritted his teeth: "King, we have just unified the four marquis, and now we have 140,000 troops, plus the servants who build roads, palaces, etc., and the strong men have reached one out of seven!" If you levy another 30,000, you will have to reach one out of six! I'm afraid it will affect farming and grazing......"

Qiqiu sighed lightly: "I don't know, but at this time of life and death, I can't care so much." ”

Then he turned his head to look at Qi Wucong: "The top priority is to negotiate peace with the Baiyan, Shiduo and Morava, as long as they agree to negotiate peace and give Kushan some time to digest the Mauryan Dynasty, we will not be afraid of anyone!" I want you to take it personally! ”

Qi Wu frowned and said: "It's not that I'm afraid of difficulties, the Three Kingdoms have coveted the Peacock Dynasty for a long time, and the strength of the Baiyan and Morava people is not weak, what conditions do we make them agree to negotiate peace?" ”

Chigaoka sneered: "I only said that Guishan negotiated peace with them, but I didn't say that they should stop the conquest among themselves!" ”

"Please make it clear!"

"You go to Baicheng first, and you will say that Guishan is willing to give up the area south of the Song River!"

Qi Wucong was puzzled and said: "King, there is a rare plain south of the Song River, and the grain yield is extremely high, so it was given to Baicheng?" ”

"Hmph, of course it's conditional!" Qiqiu's eyes narrowed slightly: "There are many hundred times and many mountains, in order to compete for the Song River Plain, the Three Kingdoms have fought a lot of blood, but they are always firmly in the hands of the Peacock Dynasty!" Now I will give him this fertile land, on the condition that he and Kushan will attack the quality of the land together! ”

Qi Wucong suddenly realized: "The king means to let Baicheng and quality fight more, and we can't work hard!" ”

Chiqiu smiled: "Not bad." Baicheng will not give up such a big piece of fat, I have nine points of certainty that this plan can be successful! As long as the hundred multiplication and the quality of the war are together, it will be easy for a single Malva to clean up, and they will not be able to negotiate peace at that time! ”

Qi Wucong patted the horse and said: "The king is wise, I will set off immediately!" ”

————

In early July, Lin Xi returned to Xianyang.

"Your Majesty, that's about it!"

After listening to Lin Xi's report, I nodded: "As expected, tear your face and tear your face, but in the future, your business with Western countries will be affected, and you will be far away from Kangju." ”

Lin Xi thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, if you want to make a detour from Kangju, I'm afraid it's not so easy. ”

"Huh?" I wondered, "What do you mean?" Although Bactria and Great Qin have not sent envoys to each other, they have never been suspicious, and trade has never been affected, why do you say that? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Bactria has been annexed by Anxie, and Anxi took advantage of the outbreak of the Antioch War to attack Seleucus, and grabbed a lot of land from Seleucus, and is still fighting."

"What?" I was amazed: "Bactria was annexed by Rest?" ”

I was shocked that history was really drifting further and further away from its original trajectory.

Historically, Parthia, or Rest, rose to prominence around 170 BCE, and it was only after annexing most of Seleucus that it destroyed Bactria, leaving a small part of Seleucid as a buffer zone with Rome.

It wasn't until Pompey conquered Antioch in 64 BC that Seleucus was destroyed, followed by centuries of war between Parthia and Rome.

Now that Parthia had annexed Bactria ahead of schedule, Seleucus was likely to fall quickly under the onslaught of Parthia and Rome.

If before, Great Qin and Kushan were friends with each other, Kangju was a vassal state of Great Qin, and Great Qin did not directly border Parthia, and the war between Parthia and Rome would most likely not affect Great Qin.

Judging from the current situation, Daqin and Guishan will fight sooner or later, and I have to think about the possibility of war with Parthia and Rome.
