Volume 9: Showing Power in the Western Regions 42. Bo Diao¡¯s Plan

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Jia Xu didn't show much emotion towards Li Shushi's sudden intrusion. Perhaps he had already become accustomed to Li Shushi's wild and unconstrained ideas, some of which were childish and some of which were extremely meaningful.  , perhaps because he was used to Li Shushi's behavior, Jia Xu could calmly listen to Li Shushi's speech while thinking secretly.

    ¡°If Li Shushi made a bad proposal, he needs to make amends.  If Li Shushi made a very ordinary proposal, he would need to proceed smoothly.  And if what Li Shushi put forward was a pretty good proposal, then he would naturally want to complete it and make it a complete plan with great operational significance.  .

    In the past, this work was mostly borne by Cheng Yu, and Jia Xu could naturally hide his presence on the side leisurely. But now, Jia Xu knows that even if he wants to be lazy, he has no chance, because  Li Shushi is obviously not the kind of person who is extremely attached to the power in his hands. He is even more lazy than Jia Xu at times.

    When Li Shushi is lazy, the ones who need to work are naturally the most suitable ones, Jia Wen and Tong Xia.

    Of course, Jia Xu is still snickering in his heart now - what news did his subordinates get from Kang Ju? It is said that it will never be more than ten days before Xu Rong and others go to Kang Ju. In such a short period of time, I am afraid that they can  It is very difficult to get the news back and forth, not to mention that it takes a lot of time to collect various situations and interact with relevant people.

    In fact, these news did not come from Xu Rong and others, but from the Queen Mother Wusun who was born in Kangju.  In order to show her sincerity and allow Li Shushi to be prepared in advance, she disclosed a lot of Kang Ju's situation to Li Shushi. This would make it easier for Li Shushi to make combat plans in advance and prepare for any difficulties in advance.

    Of course, these news have now become the material for Li Shushi¡¯s deception.

    Although that is said, it is obvious that this material seems to have an unexpected effect.

    Khwarezm, this land located on the south bank of the Aral Sea was expanded by Yan Gaozhen, the most outstanding emperor of the Kushan Kingdom. However, although this king of the Kushan Kingdom pushed Kushan to its peak state,  But just like Duke Huan of Qi, the leader of the Five Hegemons in the Spring and Autumn Period, large-scale civil strife broke out in the Kushan Kingdom due to succession issues after his death. In the end, the throne was passed to Kanishaka, a general stationed in India appointed by Yan Gaozhen.  At the same time, the national strength was also greatly depleted.

    It is precisely because of this civil strife that places such as Dawan, Kangju, Khwarazm, and Khorasan, which originally had extremely limited control, began to show signs of instability.  It¡¯s just that the new king Kanishka is obviously also an ambitious man. He not only respects academics, promotes planting technology, but also develops foreign trade. The most important thing is that he continues the expansion policy of his predecessor Yan Gaozhen.

    When Kushan was at its most powerful, it not only established its absolute dominance in northern India, but its sphere of influence even extended beyond Congling to the western region of the Western Regions. Both Shule and Wulei Kingdoms were greatly affected by it for a period of time.  The current capital of the Kushan Kingdom, Fulusa (today's Peshawar, an important town in northern Pakistan), was also moved there during the Kanishka period.

    However, it is common practice in the world to prosper and then decline. The descendants of Kanishaka obviously did not have the skills of their ancestors, especially during the period of Hubisaka, the father of Bo Diao.  Although the subordinate relationship with the Kushan Central Committee is still maintained on the surface, this relationship has reached an extremely fragile point.

    The reason why there is no complete separation can be said to be the credit of Hubei Saka's introduction of Zoroastrianism - after all, this place was ruled by the Persians before the Kushans arrived here, and Zoroastrianism is here  Although its spread is not very widespread, it can still be regarded as a relatively large local religion. Even if Buddhism later entered here, it could not shake its broad mass base.

    So when Zoroastrianism spread rapidly in Kushan, the original intention of the Khwarezm area to liberate the country, which had the same belief, naturally weakened a lot. Obviously, they should have received some promises.

    Of course, such a political commitment is obviously not a good thing for those who believe in Buddhism.

    Khwarezm and Kangju are both areas with 30,000 soldiers, and they are both in the northern part of the Kushan Kingdom. Although the area of ??Kangju is larger than the Khwarezm area, the northern part of it is either a desert or has abnormal winters.  In cold areas, it can be called useless to the Kushan people who have increasingly adapted to the warm climate of the south, abundant water resources and irrigable land.

    However, Khwarezm is still nominally part of the territory of the Kushan Empire, while Kangju is a completely independent country. It seems that the best choice is to incorporate Kangju into the Kushan territory.  the best choice.

    ButThe best choice for Kushan Kingdom is a poor choice for Bo Diao.

    Because the Khwarezm area is within the sphere of influence of Zoroastrianism, which supports his younger brother, and because this time Khwarazm is famous for supporting Kangju¡¯s friendship, if Kangju re-enters the territory of Kushan,  It is completely conceivable that Zoroastrianism will have a new stronghold.  And if the Kangju people and the Khwarezm people have the same fanatical beliefs, then this 60,000-strong army has the ability to change the original political balance of the Kushan Kingdom.

    By handing Kangju to the Han Dynasty, Bo Tiao will solve the problem of Khwarezm himself, and the two parties will have the opportunity to weaken the power controlled by the Kushan Zoroastrian Church in this battle against Xianbei.

    Bo Tiao thought of this.

    Jia Xu quickly figured this out through the expression on his face.

    "I have to admit that General Lee's proposal is really difficult to refuse However, even you and I are very clear about the interests and consequences of this, but I also need to obtain some benefits to convince my supporters and my countrymen. After all, Hua  No matter how disobedient Lazimo is, he is still part of Kushan, and many people in our country have a deep hatred for Kangju's betrayal."

    "We come from a distant country, so we believe that His Highness Bo Diao will have a better understanding of what your country needs."

    ?? Okay, Li Shushi can withdraw from now on, because it is better to leave the next thing to professionals.

    Of course, because of the performance just now and the previous impression, Bo Diao's attitude was obviously much more cautious. Not only did he speak slower, but he also often had to pause for consideration. It seemed that his attitude towards this matter had changed a lot.  .

    It is precisely because of this that the negotiation between the old fox Jia Xu and the cautious little fox Bo Diao became extremely difficult, and this time the negotiation between the two parties was no longer a verbal exchange of words that Li Shushi could not understand, but a real high price.  After landing and repaying the money, they gradually sought common ground while shelving differences, but they often widened the originally bridged rifts over some problems.

    Even now, Li Shushi has to admire the willpower and brain power of these two guys. One person can actually have the posture of an entire delegation. Basically, he will not miss any details. Anyway, if he hadn't listened to the tug-of-war between these two guys.  , Li Shushi would never have discovered that a mutually beneficial alliance for both parties actually needed to involve so many aspects.

    ¡°¡­I can make appropriate concessions on the things discussed above, but I need sufficient guarantees on trade rights.¡±

    When the negotiation reached this point, Li Shushi knew that it was time for him to appear without Jia Xu¡¯s signal in time.

    No, it should be said that at this time, both parties have basically played their most important trump cards, and have basically clarified the other party's bottom line and attitude. If Bo Tiao can turn the title of king on his head from nominal to substantial  , he is naturally qualified to represent the Kushan side.  Although Li Shushi was only a state pastor of the Han Dynasty, he also mastered the core pass of the most important Silk Road corridor from the Han Dynasty to the Western Regions, so his commitment was of decisive significance to a certain extent.

    "These are not areas that Jia Xu can decide, and he will never take a step forward in such matters.

    Well, as long as things have nothing to do with his own life, Jia Xu is basically a spinning top - although giving him a whip can keep him motivated for a long time, it will definitely not increase his sense of existence.  It is precisely for this reason that everyone in the Bingzhou Army was surprised that Jia Xu was so enthusiastic about the Western Regions.

    Of course, Li Shushi did not intend to explore the real reason. Anyway, he was very interested in this matter.

    "Everyone in the world is bustling for profit; the world is bustling for profit. Businessmen are a profession that uses information asymmetry to buy low and sell high. If there is enough profit to attract them, even if there is no government order, the other party will flock to it.  , but on the other hand, even if the government imposes an order, I am afraid that the businessmen will violate it or even be unable to stop it. His Highness Bo Diao should be from the Fang family in this regard, and should have a clearer understanding of such things than this warrior, and it is more expensive.  The Kingdom of Frost seems to be located on the main transportation road connecting the east and west and the north and south. Even if no one guides the merchants, they will eventually stop in Guishang. So what exactly does your highness want to get from me? If I can't explain it clearly, I  I believe it is not a good thing for both of us.¡±

    Well, Li Shushi, who had always regarded himself as a businessman, finally remembered his identity as a warrior at this moment. Although such words almost made Jia Xu on the side almost suffer from internal injuries, he seemed to have concealed his identity from the other side.

    "Honorable General Li, what you said makes sense, but the role you can play in this matter is equally great."

    "Compare???  "

    "For example, you can tell the Han caravans that if they walk on the trade route you have planned, they can enjoy sufficient protection, but there is basically no such preferential treatment on other routes"

    Bo Diao seemed to really regard Li Shushi as one of those sage students or generals who only devoted themselves to studying. Although it was not obvious, the small pride in Bo Diao's tone was still faintly revealed.

    Of course, Li Shushi and Jia Xu, who were secretly laughing, would not point it out.

    "Then what can His Highness Bo Diao get from me?"

    "Caravans, more caravans. Goods, more goods from the Han Dynasty. Only in this way can we bring more income to Kushan and bring more capable ministers and people. And with talents and wealth, I  I can change the current embarrassing situation of Guishuang, and I can let Guishuang regain the style of His Highness Kanishekia. The Han Dynasty to the east of Congling can do whatever he wants, and Guishan to the west of Congling is willing to become a solid barrier for the Han Dynasty!"

    Li Shushi felt that the ambition of the man in front of him might be much greater than he thought.

    However, now it seems that this proposal seems to be to his liking.

    ps: Today is the founder and spiritual secular leader of Inaslam, Abu Alqasim Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Abdul Muttalib bin Hashim  (Let me take a breath first) The day of death.

    At that time, the Arab world was as dark and chaotic as it is today. Externally, it was harassed by Rome, Sassanid and the northern steppe peoples, and internally, the feudal princes were fighting against each other.  Then there was a click, and the prophet realized enlightenment in the cave, so the Arabs united, the Persians surrendered, and the Jews were driven out of the sea

    ???????????????? Do you believe that there will be another episode of the Middle East naga?  A matter of opinion

    ps2: The college entrance examination is over. Forget about the exam results and all future worries. Enjoy this summer vacation and enjoy the last innocent youth.

    Of course, it would be better if you could keep your ticket collection or something.
