That day, the wind was warm and the sun was shining brightly, and envoys from all the countries in the Western Regions came to the Cheshi Kingdom in droves.

As the host, the king of Cheshi was very excited when he saw that his country had become the focus of the countries in the Western Region. Within a few days, he organized a large number of houses for these people to live in, and strengthened patrols.

With Da Chu's 3,000 Flying Bear Army here, the king of the Cheshi Kingdom was very reassured about the security of the border. Under such circumstances, if anyone dared to attack, it would be a slap in Da Chu's face. He wished no one would do this. Therefore, he did not

Without scruples, he withdrew half of the border guards and placed heavy troops in the city to show off his bluff.

The relationship between the countries in the Western Region is not very harmonious. They are completely competing with each other after taking advantage of the huge profits from the Silk Road. Countries are competing, fighting, and secretly cultivating horses for the share of profits available on the Silk Road.

Bandits, robbers, etc., used all kinds of methods and used all kinds of methods. Over the past few hundred years, the relationship between them has long been regarded as a fire and water.

They were supposed to fight each other as soon as they met, and this time they were summoned by Yang Xiu on behalf of Da Chu. They did not dare to take action at all because of the power of Da Chu. Even the former King of Cheshi Kingdom did not dare to do anything.

He dared to take action against Che Shiguo, let alone others. If Dachu was angered and three thousand cavalry were dispatched, he would have no place to cry.

"Your Highness the King, are everyone from all over the world here?" Yang Xiu, who was sitting on the main seat, did not consider that he was just a guest. He took a sip of tea, held the tea cup in his hand, and pointed it at the person in front of him.

The king of Cheshi Kingdom asked.

The former king of the Cheshi Kingdom had a flattering look on his face at this time, without the demeanor of a leader of a country at all, and said: "Your Majesty, all the countries in the Western Regions are here, even Kangju and Dawan are here."

"That's good. Originally, I thought there would be a few people who were willing to show off and let me, the great Chu, establish my authority." Yang Xiu chuckled, his face was calm, but his tone exuded a chill that made people's hearts tremble.

The former chariot king couldn't help but be alerted, and secretly complained in his heart. The Wuji captain in front of him was really too majestic. Even a king like himself couldn't hold his head up in front of him. Or was it another long history?

The Lord is so kind. Fortunately, the Lord in front of me this time is only leading the matter behind the scenes, and it is the kind Lord Chang Shi who comes forward. Otherwise, all the countries in the Western Regions may be in bad luck this time.

Little did he know that the adult in front of him was not a majestic person at all, and that everything in front of him was deliberately pretending.

Yang Xiu and others had already thought about their respective division of labor and positioning when they came to the Western Region. They added carrots and sticks, one being a good person and the other a bad person. Although this method is old-fashioned, it couldn't be more practical.

Needless to say, the red-faced position must be held by Zhuge Jin. With this guy's ability, if you give him a certain amount of time, he can make the kings of the Western Regions love him heart and soul. This charm value is already off the charts.

As for the remaining white-faced position, it was natural that it could only be placed on Yang Xiu. After all, Xu Shu was very impatient, so he didn't bother to pay attention to such trivial matters and focused on military strategy.

What Yang Xiu is best at is understanding people's hearts and understanding human nature. Although he is not a majestic and upright person, he pretended to follow the psychology of Tian Feng and others and deceived the kings of the Western Regions.

More than enough.

Relying on the intimidation of Da Chu, the power of Yang Xiu and Li, and the long-sleeved dance of Zhuge Jin, all the countries in the Western Regions once again surrendered as they should.

They were originally vassals of the Han Dynasty. The reason why they left now was entirely because of the chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty had no time to deal with them. In fact, they were still happy to sit back in their positions. After all, they would live a more stable life this way.

, there is no need to worry about the day when Guishang Anxi will attack them on a whim, nor to worry about the unrest in the country and the inability to suppress it. Yang Xiu said on behalf of Da Chu that none of this is a problem, and Da Chu is happy to help them, so that they can sit back and relax and enjoy themselves.

For both parties, this is a matter of willing to fight or willing to suffer. In these kingdoms that were established by making fortunes through business, the kings of the past generations were not ambitious figures. At most, they only saw the little benefits of business and trade. For Da Chu

It doesn't matter at all.

At the same time, Yang Xiu proposed increasing the scale of Silk Road trade, which immediately won the unanimous support of the countries in the Western Regions. The Silk Road was simply their lifeblood, and it was a blessing for them that Dachu was willing to expand the scale.

, all countries can get more benefits.

Everyone negotiated for several days on issues such as taxation, security and profit distribution of the Silk Road trade, and finally finalized the specific regulations with Yang Xiu's decision. At this point, the interests of the countries in the Western Regions were completely tied to Da Chu.

At the same time, Chu also occupied a dominant position among the countries.

Yang Xiu's trip was extremely smooth, and he easily completed the task of recovering the countries in the Western Regions. But at the same time, the Northern Huns and Kushan were also eyeing the Western Region Protectorate.

…

Jinling is the current capital of the Chu Kingdom. It is rich and prosperous, spectacular and solemn, unprecedented.

The city is full of businessmen, scholars and common people coming and going, and it is full of noise. Within the rationally planned layout, there are commercial areas, residential areas for common people, residential areas for wealthy families, factories, academies, research institutes, etc., all lined up in rows.

However, there are also shadows behind this prosperity.

After defeating Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and his think tank, who had been stationed in Qing and Xuzhou for a long time, after stabilizing the situation and pushing the development of the two states on the right track, only Tian Feng was left in charge here, and the rest returned to Jinling.

"The number of people this time is much smaller."

In a remote corner of Jinling Academy, Jia Xu, hiding in the shadows, looked at the large classroom not far away and murmured.

Next to Jia Xu, stood an old man with a kind-faced look. He smiled and said: "Now that Chu is prosperous and your Majesty is wise, there are fewer of these children with tragic fate. Isn't it a good thing?"

The ruling policy of Dachu was people-oriented. This courtyard was extremely remote and inconspicuous among the Jinling Academy. Most of the people there were children who were no more than ten years old.

These children are all orphans. Yuan Shu attaches great importance to these helpless children. There are schools all over Dachu specifically to recruit these orphans and teach them some basic knowledge for free. Among these orphans, those who are talented or have a strong personality

, after a period of observation and review to understand their character, they will be sent here.

Here, they will receive better education, and at the same time, they will also receive more powerful "brainwashing." They will become Yuan Shu, the most loyal supporters of Da Chu.

"Dead soldiers" are extremely important in a family. Likewise, as far as a country is concerned, they are also indispensable. And the person who was appointed by Yuan Shu to select and train the dead soldiers for Da Chu was Jia Xu.

These "dead soldiers" are just like spies in a certain period, but their uses are much wider than that. Some of these dead soldiers will appear on the surface and become Yuan Shu's ubiquitous eyes, supervising the entire Chu;

Some will hide in secret, inquire about information, and pass on intelligence; some will sneak into other countries, either join the army or politics, and become Chu's secret agents.

During the war, orphans were everywhere. However, with the development of Dachu in recent years, the number of orphans who were originally as inexhaustible as leeks has decreased significantly, so that Jia Xu's work has been somewhat affected.
