Chen Ping has always been known for his treacherousness in history.

But Chen Ping, who is beside Zhao Kun, is a person who is good at governing politics and easy-going in dealing with things. Although he also has a cruel side, he never loses his temper easily.

When he saw the second memorial handed to him by Zhao Kun, he was really popular.

The above records the whole story of the guards in Xibal City ordering the massacre of the Qin merchants and the details of being sheltered by the Governor of Southern Rome.

It is no wonder that Wang Lihui ordered the killing of the envoy sent by Makurs many times.

While being a bitch and setting up a archway, will Daqin spoil you?

Obviously not!

Therefore, the garrison of Xibal City is not just the interests of the military headquarters, but the battle point of the Qin Dynasty in Europe. In the long run, the Qin Dynasty will definitely enter Europe.

But from Zhang Han's troops stationed in Loulan, it can be seen that the current logistics supply of the Qin Dynasty is still quite difficult.

It was extremely difficult for Wang Li to turn Xibar City into a European enclave of Daqin.

The problems involved are all kinds of confusion.

The most important thing is that it is difficult to self-sufficient in the garrison of Sibar.

If you only support the navy, you can still rely on coastal ports, but without the army stationed on it, you will always be an enclave.

Moreover, the original population of Sibar City was originally small, so it could survive by relying on the coastal ports.

But how could the Qin Dynasty station a small number of troops in Sibar City?

So, this is the key to the problem.

At that time, among the people around Zhao Kun, everyone else had their own positions and was in charge of a lot of things.

Only Chen Ping and Zhang Liang have always been by Zhao Kun's side, and no matter what they do, they are used to looking at the overall situation.

Chen Ping was very clear that the second five-year development plan had fully reflected Zhao Kun’s layout ideas for the next five years of Daqin.

That is, give priority to concentrating efforts to solve domestic problems.

Nowadays, Chen Ping can be said to be the one who understands Zhao Kun’s worries the most.

In the eyes of others, after the development of the previous few years, Daqin can be said to be prosperous.

Last year, the annual income of the national treasury exceeded 500 million silver dollars. Once this news was released, it was a celebration of the whole world.

But who can know the turmoil behind this prosperous scene?

Three years ago, if someone told Chen Ping that too much money would be a bad thing, Chen Ping would definitely sneer.

However, when Daqin really encountered this situation, Chen Ping couldn't help but be stunned.

In recent years, he has been following Zhao Kun and has been working diligently.

Chen Ping thinks he is not a fool, but he always feels that he can't keep up with Zhao Kun's ideas.

When Zhao Kun was in the imperial examination, Chen Ping didn't understand.

Especially supporting the scholars of the six kingdoms was not necessarily a good thing for the Qin Dynasty at that time.

But later this policy directly brought the scholars of the six kingdoms to their hearts.

On this basis, the old people of the six countries greatly improved their sense of belonging to the Qin Dynasty.

The first emperor's writings and writings, cars and tracks were all done well, and was solved by Zhao Kun's simple policy.

What does God mean to make a decision?

At the beginning of the first five-year plan, Zhao Kun vigorously promoted business development.

The State Bank, the State Administration of Supervision and Administration and the Market Supervision Bureau were established, and a blood exchange was carried out in almost several of the most important places.

Since then, the operation of the Qin Dynasty has almost revolved around these three departments.

Chen Ping thought it would be very difficult for the change.

However, before, Ying Zheng and Fusu suppressed the old-style nobles, and later Zhao Kun promoted various reforms behind the scenes. At the beginning of the reform, he implemented his firm will.

At that time, it was not an exaggeration to say that he was trying to resist the public and insisting on his own.

But the results are also unexpected.

Along the way, no one knows better than Chen Ping's strength.

Many people only think that Zhao Kun is in power, his thinking is like a wild imagination and no trace can be found.

But it always has extremely perfect results.

But only Chen Ping knew that it was not that simple to change a huge country like Daqin?

Zhao Kun is indeed a talented person. He seems to have a prophet's eye who can accurately see the development direction that is most suitable for the Qin Dynasty.

But in that position, Zhao Kun must be cautious in every word and action.

Even if the emperor enjoys the power and glory of the world, any tiny voice that spreads to the world is the roar of a giant dragon.

Therefore, in the eyes of others, Zhao Kun is just a matter of ruling the country.

But Chen Ping knew that since the Fusu reign, Zhao Kun was walking on thin ice behind his back, trembling with fear.

Just like the situation in front of us, Zhao Kun keenly discovered the crisis while everyone was optimistic.

Chen Ping can no longer remember how many times Zhao Kun has done this, but he will definitely follow him firmly.

The so-called "to defend against foreign countries" must first settle the country.

Although Zhao Kun has the will to swallow the world, the premise of everything is that it will not affect domestic stability.

Therefore, Chen Ping speculated that at this time, Zhao Kun actually didn't want to station troops in Xibar City.

The reason I look for myself is because there are some things that Zhao Kun could say before, but now he can't.

Before Zhao Kun ascended the throne, the relationship between the ministers of the new dynasty and Zhao Kun was similar to conquering the world with bare ass.

Both sides are sympathetic to brothers, and they are more likely to be more monarch and ministers. Zhao Kun will say whatever he has.

But now that Zhao Kun's identity has changed, he naturally needs to consider a lot.

Just like this time, if Zhao Kun directly rejected Wang Li's proposal, no one could say anything.

But there will be some inappropriateness.

At this time, Chen Ping, who is a minister, needs to take the blame.

So, after reading the two reports, Chen Ping took the initiative to stand up.

"Your Majesty, I think you should garrison troops in Xibal City as Wang Li said!"

"hehe."

Hearing Chen Ping's words, Zhao Kun smiled and waved his hand and said, "Then follow what I'm sorry!"

"However, now there are hidden dangers in China. At this time, the troops stationed in Xibal City may be unexpected..." Chen Ping pondered.

The two European heroes are really not weak.

When the Governor of Southern Rome, Makurs, sent an envoy to come, although Zhao Kun did not meet, Chen Ping had put in some effort.

He specifically looked for merchants from the Western Regions and asked about information about Europe.

At the end of last year, Rome defeated Carthage's main force.

The outcome of the Second Punic War gradually became clear.

Today, Carthage is just fighting stubbornly.

If Rome completely defeated Carthage, Europe would have a dominant situation.

When Rome frees up its hands, the Qin army stationed in Sibar City will inevitably become a thorn in its eyes.

After Rome won the Punic War, it would definitely use troops to attack the city of Sibar.

A country that has existed for hundreds of years has maintained strong strength until now, but it is not entirely brute force.

Chen Ping didn't believe that the Roman Senate would be so stupid.

But Zhao Kun knew that no matter how the Punic War was, it would take at least three to five years to fight.

By then, will Rome still have the ability to send troops to the city of Sibar?

Zhao Kun has enough confidence in this.

The war in this era is not a modern war, it will end in a few months.

By the end of the Punic War, the construction of Xibal City by Daqin was enough to support the logistics supply of Daqin. By then, it would be more than just an enclave.

If Rome really dares to move troops, the garrison of Sibar City, as long as it retreats to Eastern Europe, it will immediately gain a vast strategic depth.

Even Rome did not dare to act rashly.

Zhao Kun did not believe that Rome would fight on multiple fronts or fight a war of attrition with the Qin Dynasty.

If things cannot be done, Zhao Kun certainly doesn't want to waste a lot of resources to obtain an enclave that has no meaning to Daqin.

But now that all deployments have begun to show results, he naturally has to be more greedy.
