Big Plan

In the jungle of Indochina, the conversation between Wei Xun and Yan Yan continues.

For people who have been in the primitive jungle for a long time, in addition to the high temperature and sweltering heat, it is also normal for them to be emotionally depressed. After the two met, they also asked their respective subordinates to find a cool place to rest, as a way to relieve emotional stress.

.

Of course, they can exchange some information by the way. After all, it has been a year since Wei Xun went on the expedition. If he doesn't come back, the King of Southern Chu will probably send Yan Yan to lead the search...

"By the way, how did Meng Cheng get here? Could it be that the previous trip to search for the sea has already been completed? Has he found Nanyang?" Yan Yan remembered that when he returned to the army last year, he happened to encounter the situation when Wei Xun was on an expedition, so he immediately

asked.

"Brother, what I expected was good. I was lucky enough to reach the seaside during this patrol trip. I don't know if it was Nanyang that my father said, so I immediately returned to the army to report." Wei Xun replied calmly.

"So Meng Cheng is done. This time... um... we were in danger on the way? Why are there only these people left?" Yan Yan was happy and remembered that Wei Xun had brought thousands of people with him on the expedition. Now here are only

Hundreds of people, so he asked again with concern.

"Brother, I misunderstood. This trip went very smoothly, with very little loss of soldiers. I ordered Wei Zhong to lead most of the soldiers to stay there to expand the camp, explore the surrounding area, draw a map, and bring a group of guards to travel lightly. Brother, don't be anxious.

Not everything is going well for Xun, now we have to meet my brother's army and we will naturally go all the way, and you and I will have to discuss the big plan later..." Seeing that Yan Yan was a little anxious, Wei Xun hurriedly comforted him, and quickly changed the subject...

Wei Xun also knew and supported Yan Yan's innermost thoughts.

He had also been trying to persuade his father to establish a trade route with Yizhou, but he had never received approval. Taking advantage of the opportunity of exploring Nanyang this time, Wei Xun wanted to bring up the old matter again, so he wanted to communicate with Yan Yan to see how to better

More appropriately...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The new Governor of the Western Regions of the Han Dynasty was newly appointed, and the entire Western Regions seemed to be in a state of flux.

Zhang Wen has been the Protector of the Western Regions for more than 20 years. All the countries have become accustomed to Zhang Governor's temperament and policies. Now that the unknown Dong Zhongying is to be replaced, everyone is somewhat unsure, so various small alliances of various countries in the Western Regions gather secretly.

It's also very frequent.

But no matter how you operate, one thing is certain, that is, the Han Dynasty is invincible!

Ever since that devil, no, that Han general came to the Western Regions, the countries in the Western Regions have become accustomed to surrendering.

Of course there are different ways to surrender, what? Why not unite with the powerful Tongsi Kingdom to deal with the Han Dynasty?

What a joke, haven’t you noticed that they are all Han, and in recent years they are so good that they wear a pair of trousers and do business together. Besides, that Tongsi country where everyone is equal is our biggest enemy, okay?

Since you can't resist, it's okay to study some postures that are more comfortable to surrender...

The main character that everyone is talking about is still marching slowly at this time. One thousand Flying Bear Army and three thousand Qiang people are victorious. Although there are some logistical burdens, they are all cavalry and should be able to march very quickly, but they are still very slow.

Because Dong Zhuo would receive grand hospitality wherever he went.

Since the restoration of the Silk Road, the Western Region has been generally stable, and the number of caravans has been increasing year by year. Coupled with Ouyang Long's demonstration effect, many Han families have tasted the sweetness of doing business, so there are more merchants on this road than in other time and space.

Several.

After leaving Yumen Pass, the excitement was still not much reduced. Dong Zhuo even saw some emerging Han villages outside the pass that were developing towards cities. This was something that another time and space with perennial Qiang chaos would not dare to imagine...

The reason why these Han people please Dong Zhuo is also very simple. It is not because of Dong Zhuo's official position, army, strength or anything else, but because of his power to manage the business of the Western Regions!

What a huge benefit this is. The people in the court don't seem to realize it yet! Zhang Wen, who had been guarding the border before, let alone Zhang Wen, gave this power so easily to a mighty man...

While they were envious and jealous, they could only temporarily put away their little thoughts and offer all kinds of treasures, beauties, thousand-mile horses, property, baggage, and shameless praise...

After all, business has to continue. Fortunately, the court chose this rough guy. It would be harder to fool someone who is smarter, right?

So Dong Zhuo was a little unable to withstand these combos. Days of banquets, flattery and sensuality gradually began to erode his will. He also lived a poor life when he was young. Over the years, he relied on some courage to work hard, and although he gradually became prosperous, he was still able to survive.

Didn't have time to enjoy it...

Li Ru did have some instructions before leaving, um... it was a reminder, but Dong Zhuo underestimated the madness of these business people!

Although he also had a caravan of his own, he almost never managed it himself, and he also underestimated his own self-control. The big plan he had sketched with Li Ru began to gradually fade away...

So the march speed became slower and slower...

————

At present, Dong Zhuo's Imperial Guard has arrived at a place called Caolanhai, which is actually a medium-sized lake. It can be regarded as the second water supply place after the Silk Road left Yumen Pass.

If there is water in the desert, there will naturally be life and people, and the majority of the people here are Han people. Generally, large caravans will set up branches at these supply points. There are also some business families who have built their mansions or warehouses here in order to hide their eyes from others, so

The scale of this gathering place is expanding year by year...

There is a forest surrounding the lake to the west of the gathering place. Dong Xiao and Li Su are stationed here with most of the Flying Bear Army and Qiang cavalry.

Dong Zhuo went to the banquet with his son Dong Wei, his son-in-law Niu Fu, and his bodyguards, and they stayed there for two days. It seemed that it was not over yet, so they could only wait here.

Dong Xiao was the Army Sima, and Li Su was the Governor of the Protectorate, Shi Shuzuo. One of them was a civil servant and the other a military officer stayed in the army.

Putting aside daily cooperation, the personal relationship between the two is also good, because they are both from poor families promoted by Li Ru from the bottom. Now Dong Xiao regards Dong Zhuo as his adopted father and changed his original surname to Peng, and Li Su also changed his name from Li Ru's secretary to

If you change jobs and take charge of the logistics of the entire army, you will have a bright future.

It's just that their so-called future is based on the prosperity of the Dong Group, and now that the leader of their group is getting carried away in the tenderness of various caravans, they are naturally more worried.

"Well, I'm afraid my adoptive father will not return to the camp today. At such a speed, I don't know when we can get to the Protector's Mansion..." Dong Xiao returned from patrolling the camp, settled down on duty, and went straight to Li Su's military tent.

"Why, it's only been a few days and you can't hold your breath anymore?" Li Su said with a smile while handling the military accounts in a leisurely manner.

"How can you not be anxious? If my adoptive father continues like this...this...aren't you worried?"

"What's the use of worrying? It's better to do your part."

"This is natural, but I always feel uneasy..."

"Don't worry, everything is as expected by Chang Shi. It's not the right time yet. When the time comes, you and I, well, and Marquis Fan will just act according to Chang Shi's words. We will never let our lord

Forgot the great plans of the past!"
