"That's it. Let's go then. When will it be?" Fan Cong frowned and asked, "It's more than three months now, and the national certificate doesn't say when."
"As I said, in July, the other party said that we don't need to worry about supplies, food and other things. Vologis V also donated the land near the Caspian Sea to us in advance, saying that they had neglected to manage the east side. We
If you have time, just go and take advantage of it." Li Jue said helplessly. The other party was so kind to them, which made them feel a little guilty.
In fact, Li Jue had absolutely no idea that those areas east of the Caspian Sea were, and indeed were, considered Parthian. If they were said to belong to Kushan, they could also be considered Kushan. After all, Kushan had once occupied them. To be precise,
It is said that the Han Dynasty also occupied it a hundred years ago.
But later that place was too far for the Han Dynasty. For the Kushans, the Han Dynasty was squatting there. For Parthia, they had to fight Rome desperately, so the area east of the Caspian Sea was very good, equivalent to today's
The three countries of Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan have become independent of others.
Of course, due to its strength, the Han Dynasty barely had some influence in the area east of Kazakhstan, but no longer had any influence at all.
What Volojis V did was to throw away the burden. To be precise, the good land given to Li Jue was basically the same. However, because Li Jue's fighting power was too strong, he killed several waves of horse bandits.
After the bandits, the place was really peaceful.
So from a certain point of view, Vorogis V is not nonsense. He indeed gave Li Jue more than one million square kilometers of land with a wave of his hand.
For the Chinese people, money is not a problem, people are not a problem, land is the biggest problem. As long as it is good land, no one else can take it back if they get it. This is a nation with a deep love for land.
Li Jue himself also inherited these things, so Vorogis V directly gave him a piece of land larger than Yangzhou with a wave of his hand, and this land was also very good. It was either pasture or good land that could be used as a farm.
.
The so-called short-handed man, in Li Jue's view, Vologis V was indeed a brother, so the other party wrote to him and asked him to lend a hand to help. Li Jue was very happy. After all, the other party gave so much land.
Although there are some troublemakers such as horse bandits and mountain bandits, this is not a serious problem.
Isn't the army used to fight these horse bandits? Besides, with the other party's credentials, he can free his hands and feet to wreak havoc on this land.
"The emperor is indeed in a good mood." Guo Si said with admiration, "We should have nothing to do by then. It won't be a big deal if we lead our troops there. How many troops will they send?"
"It is said that the troops were reorganized to the tune of 70,000 to 80,000 people, and a dozen of them had their inner energy separated from their bodies." Li Jue said with a slight silence. When he saw this credential, he felt that Parthia suddenly became so powerful for no reason. This was simply
It's not scientific.
"How is this possible?" Fan Chou was shocked. At that time, they had gone to Taixifeng, the resting capital, and they were all like that. How could so much inner energy suddenly leave the body?
"I don't think it's possible, but are you going to scribble on the credentials?" Li Jue said helplessly, "So no matter what, I plan to go and have a look, even if it's to understand the combat effectiveness of our allies."
"If this is the case, then we have to go, but we still have to wait a moment. The army sent by the military adviser will arrive soon. By then, we will unite together to avoid being underestimated by the other party." Guo Si heard this and looked up.
Lu thought about it, and then spoke loudly and forcefully.
"That's okay. The troops won't be raised until July anyway. We can wait a little longer. By the way, what do you mean by sending a lot of civil servants to us?" Li Jue turned to Guo Si and said.
Guo Si recounted what he knew about the situation, "Actually, I asked my men to abduct people in Liangzhou. It is estimated that they can kidnap 200,000 people. The slogan is that one family will be divided into three thousand acres of land. Among them,
There is no tax on five hundred acres.”
"Hey, can we decide whether to charge taxes or not?" Li Jue suddenly reacted.
"Whether we divide the three thousand acres of land is a matter of our words. Can't we just decide whether to collect taxes or not?" Fan Chou said casually. For him, Guo Si made a slogan: One household, three
Thousand acres, this guy doesn't care at all, no one is farming anyway.
"That's right." Li Jue touched his beard and felt that it was reasonable. He never thought that this was an independent judicial power that only vassal states had.
"Then let's go back and get the people here, and then let the Chen family, Sima family, and Xun family you mentioned do it. At least they must be self-sufficient. Relying on collections from the countries in the Western Regions is always unreliable.
." Li Jue agreed, why don't any of them have an internal affairs level above fifty? The current logistics are all obtained by levying levies from the countries in the Western Regions.
"The apprentice of the military advisor comes here and becomes our military advisor. I heard that you need to practice in this profession." Fan Chou thought for a while and said, "I always feel that after losing the military advisor, I have suffered a lot of stupid losses. No smart person is really
It’s a big problem.”
"That's right. After all, he is the apprentice of the military advisor. It shouldn't be a problem at all. Yes, he must be respected. Who knows what he likes?" Li Jue quite agreed with Fan Chou's words. Li Ru's status in their minds was still very high.
, so relatively speaking, before Zhuge Liang came, Li Jue and others regarded him as one of their own.
"How about the jade from Kunshan?" Duan Yan thought for a while and said.
"No, no, this kind of thing is just like fooling people. I just gave a piece to Zijian before and gave it to the military advisor. Some time ago, we found another piece that was better than that one. This is completely insincere." Fan Chou.
Reject it outright, there are too many things from the Western Region.
"Why don't you give me a golden camel? I think there is one like this in Kangju Palace." Guo Si thought for a while and said.
"This is too vulgar. That's the military advisor's apprentice, not you. It's just a golden camel. I can melt one out later." Li Jue directly rejected such an imbecile suggestion. As expected, Guo Si's IQ is too low.
"What do you have? I'll give you a reference. I've seen Zhuge Kongming many times." Hua Fei saw the four guys making suggestions back and forth, but being rejected by others. He frowned and said, these four gangsters
Come on.
"Oh, by the way, I haven't thanked you sir for helping Zhongming connect his arm. Now, you can take whatever you like from our treasury." Li Jue said casually. Anyway, they don't want anything in the treasury.
Hua Fei was very interested in Li Jue's treasury. Seeing that the four people were fighting again, he didn't stay longer. He took Li Jue's handwritten seal ribbon and went to the treasury. After entering, he found various treasures inside, and even some
Armor and weapons, but except for the weapons and armor, which were well preserved because they were wiped and warmed from time to time, the rest were covered with a layer of dust.
"These guys." Hua Fei saw that there were indeed many good things inside, but just by seeing a layer of dust falling on it, he knew that these things were all given up by those guys, otherwise they wouldn't have made it.
so.
Hua Fei spent a lot of time in the treasury to find a lot of rare local medicinal materials that were said to have magical effects. At this time, Li Jue, Guo Si and others reluctantly reached an agreement, which meant that Li Jue had read books and knew something.
Gu Wen successfully defeated Fan Chou, Guo Si and Duan Xuan.
"Present a map, present a map, you see Jing Ke stabbed the King of Qin and deceived even the First Emperor of Qin with the map of Yandukang, it shows that this is a great gift." Li Jue angrily scolded the other two people, including Duan Yan.
Already.
Li Jue was a half-way monk. Although he had read books, he had no idea about the actual situation inside. Not to mention Guo Bang and Fan Chou, he was a horse bandit and a low-level commoner. No matter how good he was, Li Jue was still slightly higher than these two.
.
In addition, the three of them are not princes and have no idea what the map presentation means. They just think that this gift looks high-end and classy. Even Qin Shihuang can fool it. There should be no problem in using it to give to himself and others' future military advisors.
"But presenting the map is a bit too nonsense. I feel there is no sincerity." Although Fan Chou and Guo Bang were critically hit by Li Jue, they still cursed and said, expressing their dissatisfaction, "It's just a piece of silk."
"I think we need to add something else." With Fan Chou's encouragement, Guo Bang started to dance again. Anyway, Li Jue's behavior seemed to him to be insincere.
"Jiajiajia, what are you talking about? There are no beauties in this poor place. If that doesn't work, let's go to the Western Regions to buy some princesses." Li Jue said without any bottom line.
"Well, let me ask first, we don't have a map, right?" Duan Yan suddenly raised his hand and asked. They must have relied on guides to get around recently. To be precise, no one in their group can draw.
"No one knows how to draw!" Li Jue roared without waiting for Guo Si and Fan Chou to ridicule, "Tomorrow I will find someone who can draw to make a map with me, and draw all the places that belong to us. Besides, aren't the military advisor's apprentices still here?
Do you have two months to come? Two months is not enough for us to draw the map? We will go to the Western Regions Recruitment Meeting tomorrow to draw the map."
"That's okay." Duan Yan said that he would not speak.
When Li Jue and others made the decision to send things to Zhuge Liang, Yuan Tan and his party finally arrived at their destination after experiencing a cold winter in the north of the Western Regions.
At this time, not only did the number of people under Yuan Tan's command not decrease, but because they marched all the way westward, fighting all the way from places near the east coast and conquering everything they encountered, their strength became much larger, especially the number of barbarians under his command.
A lot.
Because Yuan Tan walked too far north, he killed many tribes of Chukchi, Koryak, Itelmen, Yukagir, and Kate people along the way. These people are considered indigenous people of Siberia.
One of the sources of blood of the fighting nation.
