Mi Zhu told Liu Ming: "Although the countries in the Western Regions are thousands of miles away, they have been trading with us. We, such as silk, tea, and porcelain, can make huge profits there.
And those countries in the Western Regions also have things that are rare in China, such as gems, beads, spices, etc. Interconnection of business travel is of great benefit to our economy, but we Central Plains people generally miss our hometown, and those
People with ability can generally obtain food and clothing wealth in their country. Moreover, our Han Dynasty always focused on agriculture and commerce. Therefore, we, the people of the Central Plains, rarely risked the test of life and death to traffic in the Western Regions.
Yes, the caravans in the Western Regions have always been those Hu people running around. If General Lu Bu can carry out armed escorts along the way to ensure the safety of merchants, then our Youzhou Chamber of Commerce can send people to organize caravans to traffic in both places.
Our profits in Youzhou can increase at least several times. Our total treasury income will also increase a lot."
Mi Zhu's words penetrated into Liu Mingde's heart. Isn't this international trade? This is a good thing that makes a lot of money.
Liu Ming, who started out in modern times, was a little excited by Mi Zhu. Moreover, considering the recent opposition from many advisers, the plan of a mercenary union gradually formed in Liu Ming's mind. However,
This requires waiting for Lu Bu to come back and ask clearly. The most important thing is to ask clearly what the situation is like in Europe, Liu Tong, who has been to Europe now.
So, for several consecutive days, Liu Ming, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Xun Yu, Mi Zhu and others deduced several solutions in detail, and waited for Lu Bu's arrival.
Although Liu Ming and Liu Ming's subordinates are now looking forward to the arrival of Lu Bu, who proposed such a bold plan, in a few days, Lu Bu really rushed back soon. That really scared everyone.
For nothing else, Lu Bu came back too quickly. Not to mention that Lu Bu had already left his post without permission, he had ulterior motives. Some officials who didn't know much about Lu Bu couldn't help but raise such doubts to Liu Ming.
"Fart!" Before Liu Ming could speak, Zhang Fei couldn't help complaining for Lu Bu. "What's the matter withdrew from his post? Just that boy Lu Bu, if you hang a gold bar in front of him, that boy would run faster than a rabbit than a rabbit
.I bet that Lu Bu must have not brought a few people and ran over quickly." Zhang Fei, who cooperated with Lu Bu to attack Liaodong, still has a good understanding of Lu Bu's character. But when Zhang Fei thought of his cooperation with Lu Bu
At that time, as long as money is involved, even with his own strength, Zhang Fei couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "Damn, a guy who admits money to death."
Not to mention, Zhang Fei was really talking. Logically, Lu Bu shouldn't have rushed back to Ji County, Youzhou from the border base in Liaodong in such a short time. But money is too powerful for Lu Bu.
.Lu Bu just handed over a simple handover with Zhao Yun, and then handed over the specific work to Qian Mi to hand over to Zhao Yun. In order to act quickly, Lu Bu did not bring any escort troops, but only brought Liu Tong and Kanachi.
, and rushed over and rushed over.
When Liu Ming heard Zhang Fei's complaint, he smiled knowingly. Liu Ming, who controlled the three major intelligence agencies, certainly knew that in addition to having the title of "a shameless and kind Lu Bu in his army, he was also known as the Fei General.
Among those enemies, Lu Bu was not only the title of Greedy Wolf Lu Bu, but also the nickname of the evil wolf who was rushing thousands of miles away. Moving quickly was the special feature of the flying general Lu Bu.
In order to confirm Zhang Fei's speech, Liu Ming deliberately asked the reporter: "How many people can General Lu bring here?"
"Return to the Grand Marshal, General Lu brought two people here. One of them was our military captain, and the other was dressed as a Hu Shang." The informant replied truthfully.
Liu Ming nodded with satisfaction. Liu Ming knew that the two people Lu Bu brought must be the relevant people he asked for. And those under Liu Ming's men who didn't know Lu Bu very well and had just heard of some rumors about Lu Bu. At this time
There is nothing to say. After all, Lu Bu comes alone, which is enough to prove Lu Bu's loyalty. No guy with ulterior motives will come alone. Even if a person's martial arts is high, it can be tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands.
Under the escort of officers and soldiers, how big can he make?
Seeing that no one else had any doubts, Liu Ming signaled a little. The central army under Liu Ming immediately shouted loudly: "Tell me that Lu Bu is here to see you."
With Liu Mingde summoned, Lu Bu entered Liu Mingde's chamber with a sensation. However, the images of the two people behind Lu Bu became a little miserable. Liu Ming and the civil and military officials in the room were all patient and hard. So solemn.
If this place is hilarious regardless of the situation, it would be too rude. Lu Bu would not have tidied up the two of them. Lu Bu was really anxious.
Looking at the two people behind Lu Bu's explosion of heads and wind and sand, how fast Lu Bu rushed over along the way, that's not to mention it. Everyone knew very well. Cannachi and Liu Tong
The fact that Lu Bu was tortured to the point is something that anyone with eyes can see.
However, everyone was wrongly blamed Lu Bu, it was not that Lu Bu was deliberately trying to trouble them. It was that Kanachi's riding skills were not good, but that he was taken away by the impatient and kind-hearted Lu Bu and immediately ran away.
Although Lu Bu's Red Rabbit ran very smoothly, the scene of flashing across the road made Kanachi dizzy. Because of Lu Bu's Red Rabbit's rapid galloping, the blew towards him
The bone wind caused the usual pampered Cannachi to suffer. Although Liu Tong was well-rounded, Liu Tong's BMW was definitely several times different from Lu Bu's Red Rabbit Horse.
Even if the Red Rabbit Horse carries a Canaqi, it still makes Liu Tong very difficult. Lu Bu, who is skilled in martial arts, proficient in riding, and is determined to make a fortune, certainly didn't pay attention to these things. Therefore, Lu Bu also
It just inadvertently caused the miserable image of these two people.
After Lu Bu's greeting, Liu Ming asked Lu Bu: "General Lu. Have you brought all the relevant people who went to the Western Regions this time?"
"Bringed it. This is Liu Tong, the captain of the 27th Battalion of Zhenbei Army in the Western Regions, and that is Kanaqi, a large vendor of the Hu people in the Western Regions. They all have a certain understanding of the situation in the Western Regions." Lu Bu Xiang
Liu Ming introduced.
Liu Ming nodded and said to Cannachi: "Mr. Kanachi has worked hard all the way. I am not well received, so I am laughing at you. Please go and take a break and wash first. I will ask you for advice from you later.
.”
Kanachi, who had been in the for many years, certainly understood that Liu Ming's words are not convenient for him to hear. So Kanachi respectfully said goodbye to Liu Ming and led the guards under Liu Ming.
After Canaqi left, Liu Ming asked Liu Tong: "You have been to the Western Regions, along the way, what are you seeing? What are the military forces along the way? Where are you arriving? What are the troops there?
?”
Liu Tong was prepared for Liu Ming's question. If it weren't for the lord's question, why would the lord hire a lieutenant with a small position to come here?
Therefore, Liu Tong sorted out his thoughts for a moment and said, "Sir, I escorted the caravan out of the border, heading west, crossing the Mongolian grassland for more than a thousand miles. Yu Dong Zhuo's territory moved outside the pass, and along the way, only the Xianbei tribes
The horse thieves formed by the expelled abandoned people were in trouble. These horse thieves were more than a hundred people, and the majority were more than a thousand people. Although they were proficient in riding and shooting, their range of bows and arrows, and their armor and equipment were far inferior to us.
On the way forward, the caravan encountered several groups of such horse thieves peeping. The scouts under the army had designed to capture several of their tongues (living prisoners). After interrogation, they found out that they were afraid of the number of caravans.
He was so huge that he didn't dare to act rashly. He was joining forces with various horse thieves to prepare to attack the caravan. After obtaining the information, he would use his subordinates to make ambush. When they gathered 5,000 people to take action, he would take the initiative and take our initiative to do it.
The thunders were fast moving and the advantages of long range of bows and arrows caught them off guard and surrounded them. It was just that there was a little far from our Youzhou. The last generals did not have subsequent logistics troops to support them, and these horse thieves were not allowed to be slaves.
The caravan was transported back. Moreover, the water and food of the caravan were limited, so the last general could only follow the advice of the caravan leader Mr. Kanachi and kill all the horse thieves. The property of the horse thieves was sold and carried on behalf of Mr. Kanachi.
.”
Speaking of this, Liu Tong sank for a moment, seeing that Liu Ming had no intention of blaming him, then continued: "After that, we passed by Cheshiqianguo, traveled west along the southern foot of Tianshan Mountains, left Shule, and crossed the Pamir Mountains westward.
Dayuan, from Kangju, Yancai (none of the northwest of Kangju in the Western Han Dynasty, Chenghai, the northern grassland of the Caspian Sea, and the Eastern Han Dynasty belonged to Kangju) finally went west to Daqin. Along the way, we encountered more than twenty countries,
The smallest ones are like Shan Heng, less than 200 people. The big ones are like Wusun, with hundreds of thousands of people. The robbers along the way are mostly sand thieves. I don’t know why, but the equipment of those thieves is not as good as our grassland.
The horse thieves often had a piece of cloth wrapped around their heads, a cloth dress, and a scimitar in their hands, and then killed them like this. How could they be considered as a arch and arrow shooting for us?
Generally, there are no enemies that can stand on the battlefield after three rounds of shooting. The subordinates of the last general feel a little unfair. However, those sand thieves are often fearless and the last general is not afraid of death.
Purely attacking with bows and arrows, the consumption of bows and arrows is relatively high. Without subsequent supplies, the troops of the last general can only recycle them repeatedly and use them repeatedly. When the last general executes the order, they will bring them.
He left with full supply. Therefore, the troops of this battalion had 100,000 eagle feathers, so that there would be no injuries. However, after the lucky ones came back, the fewer than three thousand arrows could still be used by his subordinates.
”
Liu Ming nodded. Guo Jia added: "In the fourth year of Yuanshou, we fought the Huns in the north of Mo. Later, in order to supply the commissars of exchange, Emperor Wu and Emperor Zhao of Quli (now Korla, Xinjiang), Luntai (now southeast of Luntai, Xinjiang) and other places stationed troops to farm, accumulate food, and set up envoys to take over the leadership of the envoys. During the reign of Emperor Xuan, the right part of the Xiongnu, Rizhu, who was also in charge of the Western Regions' child servant commander, and Shanyu, who had been in charge of the Western Regions, failed to reconcile and surrendered to me. The dynasty. Our dynasty set up the Western Regions Protector, Kaifu Wulei Region (now Luntaitung, Xinjiang), commanded Dayuan and its eastern city walls, and inspected Wusun, Kangju and other nomadic countries, and issued imperial orders; There were chaos in the countries and they had to send troops to conquer. At that time, there were more than 30 countries, and they left Puchanghai (now Lop Nur, Xinjiang), and Loulan (later called Shanshan, now in Xinjiang), and now in Ruoqiang, Xinjiang). From then on, there was Qiemo (now today) (now Xinjiang Qiemo), Xiaowan (now Qiemo South), Jingjue (now Minfeng North), Ronglu (now Minfeng South), Hanmi (now Gantian Northeast of Xinjiang), Khotan (now Hotan, Xinjiang) , Shache (now Shache, Xinjiang); on the northern edge of the basin, there are Shanzang from east to west (now east of Bostensi Lake, Xinjiang), Yuli (now west of Korles, Xinjiang), Yanqi (now Yanqi, Xinjiang), Wu Le (now northeast of Luntai, Xinjiang), Kucha (now Kuche, Xinjiang), Gumo (now Aksu, Xinjiang), Wensu (now Wushi, Xinjiang), Weitou (now Aheqi area, Xinjiang), Shule (now Kashgar, Xinjiang). Most of these countries are centered on city walls and operate agriculture and animal husbandry. Only a few countries live in water and grass. They are west of Tarim and south of the Pamir Mountains, and there are also Yinai (southwest of Shache) and cannot be dug (now Kashmir Small countries such as Balticstan, some of which live in cities and some are nomadic. After that, the north of the Tsubasa, Zhuli (near Balikun Lake, Xinjiang), Cheshiqian Kingdom (now west of Turpan, Xinjiang), Cheshi Shihou Kingdom (now west of Qitian, Xinjiang), Beilu (now northeast of Urumqi, Xinjiang), Qimi (now Urumqi), Shanhuan (now Urumqi), Wusun (now northwestern Xinjiang and Central Asia), these countries are nostalgic Mainly. In addition, there is Dayuan (now the Fergana Basin in Central Asia), and both agriculture and animal husbandry are relatively developed; there is Dayuezhi (now the Amu River Basin) in southwest of Dayuan, and west of Dayuan You Kangju (now between Lake Balkash and the Aral Sea), both engaged in nomadic life.”
Obviously, Guo Jia did a lot of homework after Liu Ming discussed. Now Guo Jia’s remarks are mainly for Liu Ming’s ministers.
However, Guo Jia was stunned by the way that Lu Bu and Liu Tong. Guo Jia had never been there, how could he know so clearly? Especially Liu Tong, although Liu Tong was in charge of Liu Ming's army. The habit of marching is that there are marching records and painting maps along the way. However, Liu Tong himself cannot remember so many countries and directions.
However, Liu Ming in front of him didn't care about this. These small countries were useless. They were vulnerable. Liu Ming asked, "Have you passed by Russia? What's the current Roman Empire like?"
