Chapter 621: A Broader New World?
Whoa!
The black carriage drove slowly between the heavens and the earth, giving people a very stable and calm feeling, and behind the black carriage was the team of the East Factory and the Six Gates, and since they got the news from Chang'an City that day, their speed began to slow down significantly.
Now, a whole day has passed, the journey is almost one-tenth of the previous journey, the people of Dongchang and Liumen do not know what happened, originally thought to be able to return to Chang'an City as soon as possible, or hometown, to see their relatives who have not seen for a long time, but this delay, but slowed down.
There was some anxiety in people's hearts.
However, the six doors of Dongchang have always been strictly followed, even if they are urgent in their hearts, they are not revealed, this team is still in a hurry to march in the direction of Chang'an City, and at this time it is already evening, Dongchang's team began to camp around according to Su Shan's instructions.
In this vast jungle, the atmosphere is quite quiet and peaceful.
"It's not a long-term way to go on like this, and you have to find something. ”
In the black carriage, Su Shan leaned on the soft couch, Xiao Yu'er was by his side, gently pinching his body, all these years, Xiao Yu'er followed Su Shan's side, both the technique and the strength have completely fit Su Shan's feelings, and the latter is also very comfortable.
However, he was still worried about the affairs of the Goguryeo envoys in Chang'an City.
You can't really keep procrastinating like this.
"Governor, isn't Tongzhou City your hometown? Maybe you can just find an excuse to go to Tongzhou City, and the slaves and maids can also arrange some things in Tongzhou, and strive to make this appearance better, so that we can stay in Tongzhou for a long time." ”
Xiao Yu'er's movements in her hands did not stop, she turned her head gently, stared at Su Shan, and said softly.
"Tongzhou?"
Su Shan heard Xiao Yu'er's words, and a thoughtful look flashed on his face, and he thought about it for a while, and then said with a smile,
"Your idea is not bad, then arrange it, let's go to Tongzhou first, and then give the news to Chang'an City, saying that the governor is going to Tongzhou City to worship the ancestors, which is also a good reason, if you can delay it for as long as you want, when you can't delay it, you can go back to Chang'an City!"
"The slave and maid understand, and I will send someone to arrange it early tomorrow morning!"
Xiao Yu'er understood what Su Shan meant, and the force of this pinch softened a little, and said in a low voice.
Su Shan also nodded slightly, and then closed his eyes slightly, delaying time or something, as long as there is a reason, no matter how long it can be delayed, it depends on whether the envoy of Goguryeo can wait.
"Report to the Governor, someone from Chang'an City has come to ask for a meeting. ”
And just when Su Shan and Xiao Yu'er were silent, a respectful report voice suddenly came from outside the carriage, Su Shan's eyes opened slightly, and a trace of surprise flashed, but he didn't know who would come over at this time.
"Let him come!"
Xiao Yu'er and Su Shan had been staying together for a long time, and they had already guessed the latter's intention from the latter's eyes, so they waved their hands directly and asked the person to bring the person they visited, and Su Shan also got up and sat at the door of the black carriage, waiting for the person.
"Qin Xiangguo?"
Soon, that person appeared accompanied by a Dongchang officer, Su Shan saw Qin Ding'an's appearance at a glance, and his face showed a deep sense of surprise, and then he also got up directly and appeared in front of Qin Ding'an.
At this time, he also saw the latter's situation clearly, the wind and dust were served, his face was even a little pale, and his lips even became a lot dry, obviously in a hurry.
"Please!"
Su Shan didn't ask much, and when he saw Qin Ding'an's appearance, he knew that the latter came here to hide his identity, so it was definitely inconvenient to speak here, so he directly took the latter into the carriage.
"What's going on, you want Xiangguo to come over in person?"
The two sat down, Xiao Yu'er went to prepare tea for the two, and Su Shan asked directly without saying a word of nonsense.
"Return to the Overseer!"
Qin Dingan bowed his hand respectfully, sighed again, and hurriedly explained,
"Wechen came here, mainly to talk to you about Goguryeo, I received a notice from you, knowing that you want to delay time, but this plan is not working at all at the moment. ”
"Why?"
Su Shan heard the seriousness of this matter from Qin Ding'an's tone, and hurriedly asked.
"Overseer, when the envoys of Goguryeo arrived, they had already given a deadline, and if they could not get the answer they wanted within a month, they would go back to Goguryeo directly, and then collude with the savage tribes of the Aberli Mountains and the countries of the East China Sea to blockade the East China Sea region of the Great Wei Dynasty. ”
"As well as harassing Liaodong and our newly occupied territory of the Great Yan Nuzhen, so that the Liaodong Protectorate of the Great Wei Dynasty will not be at peace!"
Bang!
Qin Ding'an's words fell, and Su Shan's body rose with an indescribable sense of coldness, and then there was an indescribable turbulence between the palms of his hands, which directly shattered the teacup in his hand into powder, and even the tea turned into ashes.
"Goguryeo, do you have such a big guts? How dare you provoke my Great Wei Dynasty like this?"
To tell the truth, Su Shan was a little unconvinced, Goguryeo was just a small country, how could it be so powerful to provoke the Great Wei Dynasty? What's more, Su Shan even doubted that they could have the ability to talk about those wild people in the Arberley Jungle?
"This ......"
Qin Ding'an heard Su Shan's words, and his complexion changed suddenly, he only thought about how to deal with Goguryeo's threat to the Great Wei Dynasty before, but he didn't consider the root of this matter, a place like Goguryeo, it seems that he really doesn't have the ability to collude with the wild people of Aberly!
As well as the countries of the East China Sea, how could they obey the orders of a small country like Goguryeo?
Goguryeo is not much inferior to them in terms of national strength?
"Wechen is guilty, he committed such a big negligence, Wechen didn't send someone to investigate the situation in Goguryeo, so he habitually believed the other party's words and atoned for his sin. ”
This thought flashed in his heart, Qin Dingan was also busy bowing down to make amends to the latter, but Su Shan didn't care, he waved his hand lightly, and then said,
"It's not your fault. ”
"Those spies in the Lijing Building of the East Factory are basically in the hands of the Governor, and it is difficult for you to get the news, and, in general, few people will think of these. ”
"However, this matter must be properly investigated. ”
"Little Yu'er!"
Su Shan turned his head to look at Xiao Yu'er, who was sitting quietly on the side, and said in a low voice,
"You can send an order to Lijinglou, let them send spies to Goguryeo as soon as possible, to find out the recent situation in Goguryeo, don't inquire about those useless things, this governor directly wants the situation of the Goguryeo royal family, and by the way, send someone to the jungle of Aberley to probe and see if there are any unusual movements of the savages in Aberley!"
"As soon as possible!"
"Yes!"
Xiao Yu'er heard Su Shan's order, hurriedly arched her hand, and then exited the carriage, leaving only Qin Dingan and Su Shan in the carriage, and the atmosphere became a little quieter.
"If it's true, what does the Overseer plan to do?"
Qin Ding'an took a sip of tea, with solemnity and gloom in his eyes, looked at Su Shan, and asked nervously.
If this matter is true, then the current Goguryeo, the East China Sea countries, and the savages of Aberli are all connected, and it is really a threat to the Great Wei Dynasty.
If the warship of the Great Wei Dynasty can be built at this time and has been launched into the sea, then it is not too afraid of these, but the most important thing is that although this warship is at the end of the completion period, it is not completely completed in the end, and the navy that ordered the southeast coast to train secretly has not been completed.
The sea power of the Great Wei Dynasty was not enough to compete with those guys in Goguryeo and the East China Sea countries.
In addition, it is the matter of the Liaodong Protectorate, which has just destroyed the Great Yan Jurchen, and experienced the disaster of 300,000 corpse soldiers brought by Zhao Ruwan, and has lost a lot of high-end power, and now it is even worse, and there is not much time to fight against the wild people of Arbury!
Therefore, the Great Wei Dynasty is now in a state where there is nothing to be done!
"Delay the time first, there is still half a month before the time, we still have time. ”
A trace of solemnity flashed on Su Shan's face, and he said in a low voice.
In the face of this situation, he didn't have a good way for a while, after all, the fact is that the situation is here, and it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, even if he has a way, there is really no way to solve this problem.
Now, we can only wait for the time being, and then see what the final results of the investigation of this Lijinglou will be.
"Governor, how should the Goguryeo envoys of Chang'an City, how should Wechen deal with it? These days, they seem to have noticed something, and they are constantly asking Weichen's opinion, I came out this time, they were all disguised, and I didn't let them know, but this group of Goguryeo envoys is not simple!"
"They seem to have come prepared, and there seem to be people in Chang'an City who are their informants, so it is very likely that Weichen will be discovered by them when he comes out this time, if so, then the next response will be even more troublesome. ”
"Ben Governor knows!"
Su Shan naturally understood what Qin Ding'an meant, he frowned slightly, then thought for a moment, and said in a low voice,
"This matter does not need you to solve it, and the governor will no longer continue to delay time, early tomorrow morning, he will officially return to Chang'an City, meet these Goguryeo envoys, by the way, the governor can also continue to delay for a few more days, according to the distance, so that Lijinglou should be able to send the news back!"
That Wechen will immediately return to Chang'an City, and tomorrow morning, he will greet the Overseer in Chang'an City. ”
Qin Ding'an knew what the latter meant, and he didn't dare to delay any longer, and then immediately walked towards the outside of the carriage.
Su Shan personally sent him away, and he specially ordered several servants from Dongchang to secretly escort him back to Chang'an City, which was back in the carriage, and Xiao Yu'er had already finished ordering the matter of Lijinglou and was waiting here.
"Overseer, it doesn't seem like it's easy this time!"
Gently helping Su Shan into the carriage, Xiao Yu'er's face was a little dignified and low, and said,
"The little Goguryeo actually has the courage to demonstrate and provoke with our Great Wei Dynasty, and the ability to contact the savages of Aberley and the countries of the East China Sea, which is absolutely unusual, it stands to reason that they don't have this strength. ”
"This governor does think so too, perhaps, it is not Goguryeo, but some more powerful forces have appeared, and it is not convenient for them to show up at the moment, this is secretly in the name of Goguryeo, to target our Great Wei Dynasty. ”
Su Shan frowned slightly, leaned on the couch, and thought for a moment, and then whispered to Xiao Yu'er,
"Let the people of Lijinglou rush eight hundred miles overnight to help Ben Du send the world map that he got from the southeast coast recently, and Ben Du will take a good look at it. ”
"Yes. ”
Xiao Yu'er frowned slightly, and turned around and left the carriage, but in a moment's time, there was a new order to fly in the direction of Chang'an City.
The atmosphere in the carriage was a little depressing, Su Shan leaned on the couch, carefully thinking about today's situation, and the brows were also furrowed more and more solemnly, and even a little nervous.
The more he thought about it, the more he realized that Goguryeo, a small land, could not be the opponent of the Great Wei Dynasty in terms of economy and comprehensive national strength, and even the Great Yan Nuzhen was inferior.
Even if they really wanted to unite with the wildlings of Arbury, they would not necessarily agree.
As for uniting the countries of the East China Sea, it is almost impossible, and the strength of the countries of the East China Sea is actually above Goguryeo, because they are close to the sea, and the military strength on the sea is also very strong, even the current Great Wei Dynasty does not dare to easily start a war with the countries of the East China Sea, which can be seen.
A place like Goguryeo can move all the countries of the East China Sea?
Not very practical!
"It's not going to be those countries that are far away from the coast, is it? On another continent, is it going to be similar to the situation on Earth?"
Su Shan's brows furrowed slightly, and he began to mumble in his heart.
The sea power of the Great Wei Dynasty is limited, in fact, the actual scope of the territory is not very large, except for the land that is relatively close to the four sides, and the news of Persia brought by the Silk Road in the west, in fact, I don't know much about the unknown world, and even, even Persia, is just a simple understanding!
And they didn't really send someone over to find out their details!
If, if there are really other countries on the other side of that coast, and their power has already come to the east, and they can unite the wild people of Goguryeo, Aberli, and the countries of the East China Sea without knowing it, it shows that the power of the other party can no longer be ignored!
"If that'......"
Su Shan thought about it in his heart, although his brows were still wrinkled, but his face showed a trace of coldness that could not be concealed, and then said to himself,
"Then Bendu's grand cause of conquering all directions will become more interesting!"
"I'm really looking forward to it, and I'm nervous, hehe......"
