With the power of money, King Cheshi quickly found out the identities of Zhou Li and Zhang Wen.

After learning that Zhang Wen and Zhou Yi were envoys from Soochow, King Che Shi could not help but frown.

After the Han army recaptured Yumen Pass, he was the first to surrender to the Han army as he was deeply involved in the country's civil strife.

This move not only allowed him to successfully quell the civil strife in the country with the help of the Han army, but also made him the first person from the Western Regions to come to Chang'an.

After King Cheshi arrived in Chang'an City, he did not feel that he could sit back and relax.

On the contrary, after arriving in Chang'an City, the Cheshi King, who was quite vigilant in times of peace, used the power of money to inquire for information.

The Cheshi King is a man who is willing to spend money and is good at spending money. This talent ensures that he knows a lot about the current situation in the Central Plains.

As far as King Cheshi knew, the current Han Dynasty was not essentially a unified dynasty. There were two powerful enemies in the east of the Han Dynasty who were eyeing the Han Dynasty's artifacts.

Even if it weren't for Mi Yang's existence, it would be the Emperor of Wei who had just been expelled from Guanzhong to accept his worship.

After learning this important information, the Cheshi King kept thinking about how to use this important information for his own benefit.

Regarding this question, the driver king did not think about it for too long, and soon came up with an idea.

This is not because the King of Chariots is a wise and far-reaching person, but because the ancestors of the King of Chariots have left behind valuable experience for him.

The Western Regions first witnessed the power of the Han Dynasty from the era of Emperor Xiaowu.

At that time, there was another dynasty more powerful than the Han Dynasty, and that was the Xiongnu.

In fact, the Western Region is very vast, but its strategic location is not very good. Hundreds of years ago, the Western Region was basically under the attack of the two dynasties of the Han and the Xiongnu.

According to common sense, even if we don't mention the Huns who drank blood like hair and drank blood, according to Emperor Xiaowu's mentality, the Western Regions should have followed the footsteps of Korea, Fujian and Vietnam, South Vietnam and other countries, and have long been conquered by the iron hoof of the Han army.

But such a "tragedy" did not happen to the countries in the Western Regions. On the contrary, in order to win over the countries in the Western Regions, Emperor Xiaowu continued to send envoys to show his goodwill, and even sent clan princesses to make peace with the countries in the Western Regions.

The reason why Emperor Xiaowu, who was so talented and resourceful, could do this was not because of how strong the military strength of the countries in the Western Regions was. The reason was that at that time, Emperor Xiaowu needed to rely on the power of the countries in the Western Regions to fight against the Xiongnu together.

Under this strategic approach, the countries in the Western Regions, maintained and supported by the Han Dynasty, achieved a golden period of development.

Many people in later generations thought that the Han Dynasty benefited from the exchanges between the Western Regions and the Han Dynasty, but in fact, the exchanges between the Han Dynasty and the Western Regions were of great benefit to both parties.

It was interests that contributed to the initial integration of the Han Dynasty and the Western Regions.

After recalling the history of his ancestors in his mind, King Cheshi could not help but long for the time when Cheshi Kingdom was prosperous hundreds of years ago.

In the view of the Cheshi King, it is not difficult to restore the Cheshi Kingdom's prosperity in the past, given the current situation.

Of course, if you want to realize this idea in your mind, the most important thing is not to give the Soochow envoy a chance to succeed.

Upon thinking of this, King Cheshi quickly asked his confidants to summon the envoys from the Western Regions who were currently in the Sifang Pavilion.

The Cheshi Kingdom is a powerful country among the countries in the Western Regions, and King Cheshi personally called for it. Soon after, most of the envoys from the Western Regions countries who were in Sifang Pavilion came to King Cheshi's courtyard.

Of course, there are still some people who are unwilling to accept the call of the King of Drivers.

After all, the countries in the Western Region have been in constant civil strife for many years, and there are many who have hatred between them.

But the arrival of more than twenty people has already satisfied the King of Drivers.

After seeing that everyone who was willing to come had already arrived, the king of charioteers, who was sitting at the top, immediately spoke to the people below in the language of the Western Regions:

"Today, the envoy from Soochow has checked into the Sifang Pavilion."

As soon as King Cheshi finished speaking, a commotion immediately broke out among the people below.

The commotion was caused by confusion.

Not everyone knows how to gather information like King Cheshi. Many of the envoys below are people who have just arrived in Chang'an. They have no idea what kind of beast the Soochow envoy is.

Since they did not know the identity of the Soochow envoys, many envoys were surprised at the purpose of King Cheshi summoning them.

Could it be that King Che Shi wanted to lead them to meet the "Soochow Envoy"?

But they have never heard of the country name Soochow. If it were a small country inferior to theirs, it would be shameful for them to go to visit it.

Seeing that the commotion was getting worse, King Cheshi quickly cleared his throat and informed the envoys from the Western Regions present of the information he had obtained.

After learning that Soochow was the current enemy of the Han Dynasty, except for some smart people, more people became more confused.

The enemies of the Han Dynasty will naturally be dealt with by the Han Dynasty, so what does it have to do with them?

The King of Charioteers had long expected that his good intentions would not be known to everyone at the first opportunity, so he continued patiently:

"According to the information I heard, Soochow sent envoys here this time to sue for peace with the Han Dynasty!"

"You may not know that since the end of the Battle of Guanzhong, the Han Dynasty has become the most powerful dynasty in the world today.

Originally, the alliance between Soochow Wu and the Northern Wei Dynasty could still pose a threat to the Han Dynasty. However, once the alliance between Soochow Wu and the Han Dynasty was re-established, the Han Dynasty could devote all its strength to attack the Northern Wei Dynasty.

By then, the demise of the Northern Wei Dynasty was only a matter of time.

And once the Northern Wei Dynasty was destroyed, could Soochow Wu finally escape the end of destruction?"

As the Cheshi King explained his views, the noise in the courtyard gradually became quiet.

Most of those who can be messengers are not fools.

They easily heard that what the Chariot King was going to say next was a big deal.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After realizing that the atmosphere in the courtyard had returned to tranquility, the driver king showed a smile on his face.

He can be held responsible for what he said above.

Originally, King Cheshi had some concerns about the Soochow envoy coming to sue for peace.

But after hearing a nursery rhyme, his worries disappeared instantly.

"When Wu Man entered Wuguan, he was greeted by golden flags. The golden flags were hidden, but Wu Man was angry. The golden flags were dancing, and Wu Man was lying in wait."

They are all so cowardly. They are not here to seek peace. Could it be that they are here to declare war?

The King of Drivers, who was confident in his heart, continued:

"You are either domestic ministers or members of the royal family. You must not forget the prosperity of our countries in the Western Regions hundreds of years ago!"

"And back then, our countries were able to achieve such a scene, wasn't it because of the unremitting support of the great Han Dynasty?

As for why the Han Dynasty spared no effort to support our countries back then, you should know it very well."

When these words were spoken, thoughtful expressions appeared on the faces of the envoys from the Western Regions.

Why?

Isn't it because there is a powerful enemy like the Xiongnu, and the Han wants to draw on the power of the countries in the Western Regions?

Even if you don't help, at least don't let Guanzhong's backyard catch fire.

Although the Xiongnu have long been beaten to pieces after the changes of the times, but the powerful Xiongnu is no longer there, aren't the Northern Wei and Soochow still still there?

As long as the Han Dynasty has strong enemies, it will need economic support from the countries in the Western Regions.

It was not until this moment that many envoys from the Western Regions understood what King Cheshi meant by those words just now.

As long as the Han Dynasty has strong enemies, the countries in the Western Regions can get the highest attention from the Han Dynasty, and the countries in the Western Regions can restore the glory of their ancestors.

No matter how powerful the Han Dynasty was back then, in order to stabilize the overall situation, didn't they still win over them through marriage?

The great Han Dynasty of that time could do this, so why can’t the Han Dynasty of today do this?

Thinking of this, many envoys from the Western Regions showed excited expressions on their faces.

Although the countries in the Western Region have never been monolithic, none of them, who hold high positions in their own countries, do not want their country to prosper. The more prosperous the country is, the higher the benefits they can obtain.

Of course, not all of the more than twenty envoys from the Western Regions are profit-obsessed.

Some people just want to take things as they come.

Soon the envoy from Loulan Kingdom raised objections.

"Although what King Cheshi said is quite reasonable, rashly interfering in the diplomacy between the Han Dynasty and Soochow may arouse the anger of the Great Sima.

I’m sorry that our country cannot agree with the idea of ​​the King of Drivers.”

Loulan Kingdom is a powerful country in the Western Region that is as famous as Cheshi. Due to its unique location, Loulan Kingdom has always been relatively prosperous.

The comfortable life makes everyone in Loulan Kingdom not want to change the status quo, let alone suddenly participate in any dangerous actions.

There were several other envoys who had the same idea as the Loulan envoy.

The words "Da Sima" mentioned by the Loulan envoy made the originally exciting atmosphere in the courtyard instantly cool.

Many envoys from the Western Regions wanted to gain greater benefits for themselves and were willing to take some risks for this purpose.

But the problem is that the consequences of irritating Mi Yang cannot be simply described by the word risk.

King Cheshi was disgusted by Loulan's envoy's move to throw cold water, but as Loulan's envoy said, if he could just accept the situation and maintain the status quo, why would he ever think about taking risks?

It's a pity that there are some among the big men who don't want them to be safe!

King Cheshi looked at the Loulan envoy and said slowly:

"Don't you wonder why the Emperor of Han hasn't summoned us since it's been a while since we arrived in Chang'an?"

As soon as King Cheshi said this, many envoys from the Western Regions put doubtful looks on their faces again.

Logically speaking, based on the Han Dynasty's past style, he should have summoned them as soon as possible and decided on the candidate for the Western Region Protector in front of them.
