Waves at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 36
In the jungle of the Indochina Peninsula, Wei Xun Yanyan's conversation is still going on.

For people who have been in the primitive dense forest for a long time, besides the high temperature and sweltering heat, it is also normal to be emotionally depressed. After the two met, they also asked their subordinates to find a cool place to rest, which was to relieve the emotional pressure. .

Of course, they can exchange some information by the way. After all, Wei Xun has been on the expedition for a year. If he doesn’t come back, the King of Southern Chu will probably send Yan Yan to lead the army to look for it...

"By the way, how did Meng Cheng get here? Could it be that the previous trip to search for the sea has been completed? Have you found Nanyang?" Yan Yan remembered that when he returned to the army last year, he happened to meet Wei Xun when he was on an expedition, so he immediately asked.

"Brother's predictions were right. Xun Xun did get to the seaside by luck. I don't know if it was Nanyang that my father said, so I went back to the army immediately to report." Wei Xun replied calmly.

"So Meng Cheng's great success is complete. This time... um... he was in danger on the road? Why are there only these people left?" Yan Yan was happy and remembered that Wei Xun had brought thousands of people with him when he went out. Now there are only Hundreds of people, so he asked with concern.

"Brother misunderstood, the trip went very smoothly, and the loss of soldiers was very small. I ordered Wei Zhong to take most of the soldiers to stay there to expand the camp, explore the surrounding area, draw a map, and bring a garrison of guards to travel lightly. Don't worry, brother. Xun is not all right, and now I have to meet my brother and the army, and we will naturally go together all the way, and you and I will discuss big plans later..." Seeing that Yan Yan was a little anxious, Wei Xun hurriedly comforted him, and quickly changed the subject...

Wei Xun also knew and supported Yan Yan's inner thoughts.

He has also been trying to persuade his father to establish a trade route with Yizhou, but he has not been approved. This time, taking the opportunity of exploring Nanyang, Wei Xun wanted to bring up the old matter again, so he wanted to communicate with Yan Yan to see what way would be better. more appropriate...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dahan's new guardian of the Western Regions has just been released, and the entire Western Regions seems to be floating.

Zhang Wen has been the Protector of the Western Regions for more than [-] years, and all the countries have become accustomed to Zhang Duhu's temper and policies. Now that he wants to replace the little-known Dong Zhongying, everyone is somewhat uncertain, so the various small alliances of various countries in the Western Regions secretly gathered It is also very frequent.

But no matter how you operate, one thing is certain, that is, the Han Dynasty is invincible!

Ever since that devil, no, that Han Chinese general came to the Western Regions, the countries in the Western Regions have become accustomed to submitting.

Of course there are different ways to surrender, what?Why not unite with that powerful Tongsi country to deal with the Han Dynasty?

A joke, didn’t you see that they are all Han Chinese, and in recent years they are so good that they wear a pair of pants and do business together, besides, that Tongsi country where everyone is equal is our enemy, okay?

Since you can't resist, let's study what posture is more comfortable to surrender...

----

And the protagonist that everyone is talking about is still marching slowly at this time. One thousand Feixiong troops and three thousand Qiang people are victorious. It is said that although some logistics are dragged down, after all, they are all cavalry. Marching should be fast, but they are still very slow. Because wherever he went, Dong Zhuo would receive grand hospitality.

Since the restoration of the Silk Road, the Western Regions have been generally stable, and the number of caravans has increased year by year. Coupled with the demonstration effect of Ouyang Long, many Han families have tasted the sweetness of doing business, so there are more merchants on this road than in another time and space. Several.

After leaving the Yumen Pass, the excitement still didn’t decrease much. Dong Zhuo even saw some emerging villages of the Han people developing towards the city outside the pass.

The reason for these Han people to please Dong Zhuo is also very simple, not because of Dong Zhuo's official position, army, strength or anything else, but because of his power to manage the business in the Western Regions!

What a huge benefit this is, the people in the court seem to have not realized it yet!Zhang Wen, who has been guarding the border before, will not talk about it, but this time he gave this power so easily to a mighty brazen man...

While they are envious and jealous, they can only put away their small thoughts temporarily, and offer all kinds of treasures, beauties, thousand-mile horses, belongings, luggage and shameless compliments...

After all, the business still has to continue. Fortunately, the imperial court chose this reckless man, and it would be harder to fool someone who is shrewd, isn't it?

So Dong Zhuo couldn't resist these combos. The days of banquets, flattery, and sensuality gradually began to erode his will. He also lived in poverty when he was young. He has worked hard these years with some courage. Didn't have time to enjoy...

Before leaving, Li Ru did have some explanations, um...a reminder, but Dong Zhuo underestimated the madness of these business people!

Although he also owns a caravan, he almost never manages by himself, and he also underestimated his own self-control, and the big plan he once drew with Li Ru gradually faded away...

So the marching speed is getting slower and slower...

----

At present, Dong Zhuo's capital guards have arrived at a place called Caolanhai, which is actually a small lake, which can be regarded as the second water supply place on the Silk Road after leaving Yumen Pass.

If there is water in the desert, there will naturally be life and people, and the Han people here are still in the majority. Generally, large caravans will set up branches at these supply points, and some business families have built manors or warehouses here in order to hide their eyes and ears, so The scale of this gathering place has been expanding year by year...

There is a forest around the lake to the west of the gathering place. Dong Xiao and Li Su stationed here with most of the Feixiong army and Qiang cavalry.

Dong Zhuo went to the banquet with his son Dong Wei, son-in-law Niu Fu and his personal guards, and they went there for two days, it seemed that it was not over yet, so they could only wait here.

Dong Xiao is the military commander, and Li Su is the governor of the governor's office, Shi Shuzuo, and the two stay in the army, one civil and one military.

Putting aside the daily business cooperation, the personal relationship between the two is also good, because they are both poor families promoted by Li Ru from the bottom. It can be said that the future is bright for changing jobs and taking charge of the logistics of the entire army.

It's just that their so-called future is based on the prosperity of Dong's group, and now their group leader is getting carried away by the gentleness of various caravans, so they are naturally more worried.

"Hey, I'm afraid that the adoptive father will not return to the camp today. With this speed, I don't know when I will be able to reach the Duhu Mansion..." Dong Xiao returned from patrolling the camp and settled down on duty, then went straight to Li Su's tent.

"Why, you can't hold your breath after just a few days?" Li Su said with a smile while dealing with the military accounts without haste.

"How can you not be in a hurry, foster father going on like this... this... don't you worry?"

"What's the use of worrying, it's better to do your part."

"It's natural, but I'm always uneasy..."

"Don't worry, everything is within Chang Shi's expectations. It's not yet time, when the time is ripe, you and I, um, and Fan Junhou, just act according to Chang Shi's words, and we will never let the lord Forget about the plans of the past!"
