The first thousand one hundred and ninety-third chapters
After that, Chen Xi watched a large-scale melee. When the battle was over when it was almost Shenshi, Liu Bei did not come, so Li You rewarded the Xiliang soldiers with a bunch of wine, meat and steamed buns in the name of Liu Bei. Overall, it was completely enjoyable.
If you don't come out, you won't look like a laborer.
"The Liangzhou soldiers you mentioned who can do nothing but kill people. I took a look and found that they are mainly the headquarters of Aduo, Zhiran, and Zijian." Li You and Chen Xi also sat casually on the high platform to eat.
The same thing as Xiliang soldiers.
Big pot rice, how should I put it, especially if it is stewed randomly, with enough spices, it is actually very good to eat one or two meals, and Chen Xi is not too picky...
"I thought you wouldn't eat this kind of thing." Li You said suddenly while following Chen Xi to add meat to a bowl, "And I thought you couldn't accept this way of eating."
"It's okay, I'm not that particular. In fact, I don't object to putting vegetables in a bowl." Chen Xi shook his head and said, sharing meals is not popular in later generations.
"As for the taste, it's actually not bad. Although I'm quite picky, it's not that bad." Chen Xi shook his head and said, "At least it's much better than what I ate when I first came to Taishan. I always feel that you can eat it for so many years.
It’s not easy to eat a bad meal either.”
"Actually, the main reason is that you are too picky." Li You showed a smile, "Back then, it was good to eat meat, which was all white meat. It is rare for people like you to eat meat with so many spices and seasonings.
You are the one who never tires of eating and detailing."
"This is a normal pursuit of human beings. How about you eat white meat from tomorrow on?" Chen Xi rolled his eyes and said. Chen Xi did not strictly control aspects related to the kitchen, so now cooking has become popular all over the world.
.
"Wenhe has identified some of the countries around us not long ago, and we have collected a group of people who are proficient in Parthian, Wusun writing and language." Li You shook his head and had to admit that this is indeed a normal pursuit of people.
.
"Uh, how did you collect such talents so quickly?" Chen Xi said in disbelief.
"Since there are records in historical records, there must have been exchanges. The ancestors of the Han Dynasty Bo Wanghou, let alone say that the previous generation Dingyuan Marquis died less than a hundred years ago. What can I not find if I am looking for something?" Li You said casually
He said, "With the power of the Han Dynasty, if other countries in this era could do it, how could the Han Dynasty not be able to do it?"
"Which country-related materials have you obtained?" Chen Xi frowned. It would be bad if it was exposed. He had never thought that Jia Xu and Li You were so resolute.
"RIP Daxia, Tiaozhi, and Daqin!" Li You glanced at Chen Xi and said, "Although it is not very detailed, but as you said, rest in peace, Daqin is indeed the first-level empire, and Daqin may have annexed it as you said
The ambition of the world."
When Chen Xi said this, he could clearly feel Li You's fear, and couldn't help but wonder what kind of materials Li You had obtained to make him so fearful.
"The Chamber of Commerce is run by Zizhong. The Wu family and the Li family have some business outside Yumen Pass, so they are somewhat involved. When we were collecting news about Wusun, the Li family's caravan from Shanshan to buy beautiful jade just came back." Li You said with a look on his face.
Said with a smile.
"Where did the Wu family's caravan go?" Chen Xi thought of the Wu family in Yizhou that Li You didn't mention, and the Li family of Li Jue. It would be strange if the Wu family of the five wealthy merchants couldn't travel further.
"The Yancai Kingdom, the Wu family went to the Yancai Kingdom next to An'an. According to the Wu family's traveling merchants, this country has the strength of all the princes." Li You looked at Chen Xi and said.
"Huh?" Chen Xi looked confused, not remembering the existence of this country at all.
"In short, as you said, the situation next to us can be said to be messy, but the desert in the northwest blocks part of it, and the mountains in the southwest block part of it." Li You said a little tiredly, "As for the Guishang and Daqin you mentioned,
, there’s no way to get there.”
"It's okay to be far away. The empire is just like this. It has a vast territory, just like we are thousands of miles away from our farthest border." Chen Xi smiled and said, as long as he didn't expose it.
"Da Qin may be bigger and stronger than ours." Li You was silent for a while and said, "The Wu family returned from their business trip and brought back some Wusun merchants. One of them went to Da Qin when he was young and took a boat from the east of Da Qin.
To the west of Daqin, it will take about half a year..."
"..." Chen Xi looked at Li You and didn't know what to say.
The fact that the Mediterranean became the inland sea of Rome is indeed a compliment, but it is indeed scary that it takes half a year to take a boat. However, considering the shipbuilding technology at that time, it still used oars instead of wheels, so it was very likely that it would take half a year.
"What's going on with Anxi?" Chen Xi said with a frown. Compared to Rome, which couldn't be further away, Anxi is Chen Xi's goal. Central Asia is now considered a fertile land in Anxi, and it's really
It was within the reach of the Han Dynasty.
"We have been at war with Da Qin for a hundred years, and the war has basically not stopped. I heard it is quite miserable. Da Qin seems to be winning. I think you underestimated the rest of the world when you said it." Li You sighed and said, "I don't think so.
We can sustain the prosperity of the Han Dynasty for a hundred years."
Chen Xi rolled his eyes and didn't say anything. Anyway, he didn't think they couldn't handle it.
"Our generation has no problem, and we can even fight back, but a hundred years is five or six generations. It is so easy for the weak to defeat the strong." Li You shook his head and said, "In the war between Anxi and Great Qin, I
I have learned everything that the Wusun man knows."
"Anxi lost because its national power was weaker than that of Qin. In the early years, it was able to fight back with a strong generation, but it failed later. Although there are indeed problems within the country, no country can be completely united internally." Chen Xi clicked.
He nodded and said.
Chen Xi was deeply touched by this aspect. From the beginning of the founding of Mount Tai, he had carefully managed the interpersonal relationships among Liu Bei's subordinates, binding them with interests, uniting with reputation, supporting with ideals, and restraining with morals. As a result, the upper-level officials turned against him.
twice.
This is simply helpless. What I did was right was boycotted twice. It should be said that politics really depends on the position of the foot, or it should be said that politicians and political figures are completely two kinds of creatures. The former at least has an unshakable
The latter has only unshakable interests!
"I thought you didn't know, but it seems you know it too." Li You didn't doubt Chen Xi's channels. It took him a while to get this information. It was normal for Chen Xi to know.
"With regard to the issues of foreign aggression and internal peace, no country has its own internal problems. There are factions within a family. Unity means that it is not easy to be able to exert their respective strengths without holding back." Chen Xi turned over.
