Chapter 1908 Friends are coming
"So, then go, about when?" Fan Chou frowned and asked, "It's been more than March now, and the Chinese Book says that it doesn't say when."
"I said that in July, the other party said that we didn't need to worry about materials, food, and grass, and Vollogis V also gave us the land near the Caspian Sea in advance, saying that they were negligent in management of the east, and we would take it over if we had time." Li Jue said helplessly. The other party was so kind to them, which made them feel a little disgusted.
In fact, Li Jie had no idea that the places east of the Caspian Sea would be considered as Parthia, and it was indeed, and if it was Kushan, it was also considered as Kushan. After all, the Kushan had occupied it, and to be precise, it also occupied it in the previous hundred years.
But later that place was too far away for the Han Dynasty. For Kushan, there was a Han Dynasty squatting there, and for Parthia, it had to fight with Rome. So the area east of the Caspian Sea was very good, which was equivalent to the current three countries of Turkmen, Uzbek and Kazakhstan.
Of course, due to its strength, the Han Dynasty barely had some influence in the place east of Kazakhstan today. As for the distance, it would have no influence at all.
Vollogis V's approach was to lose his baggage. To be precise, this was basically the case with the good land given to Li Jue before. However, because Li Jue had too strong combat power, he killed a few waves of horse bandits. After the bandits, the place was really peaceful.
So in some cases, Vollogis V is not nonsense. He was indeed giving Li Jue more than one million square kilometers of land with a wave of his hand.
For Chinese people, money is not a problem, people are not a problem, and land is the biggest problem. As long as it is good land and you can take it, others will not want to take it back. This is a nation with deep love for land.
Li Jue himself inherited these things, so Vollogis V waved his hand and directly gave him a piece of land larger than Yangzhou. Moreover, the land was particularly good, either a pasture or a good land that could be used as a farm.
The so-called short hand of the person is indeed a brother in Li Jue's opinion, Vollogis V is indeed a brother, so Li Jue was still very happy when he wrote a letter to ask him to help. After all, the other party sent so much land, although there were some troublemakers like horse bandits and bandits on it, this was not a serious problem.
Isn’t the army just used to deal with this group of horse bandits? Besides, with the other party’s letter of state, he can let go of his hands and feet and do whatever he wants on this land.
"This emperor is indeed very upbeat." Guo Si said with admiration, "We should have nothing to do by then, and it's not much to lead the troops over. How many troops will they send."
"The soldiers were said to have been reorganized for 70,000 to 80,000, and more than a dozen internal energy left the body." Li Jue said with a slight silence. When he saw this letter of the country, he felt that Parthia suddenly felt very strong, which was simply unscientific.
"How is this possible?" Fan Chou was shocked. At that time, they went to Taixifeng, the capital of Anshui, and they all became like that. How could so much internal energy suddenly leave the body?
"I don't think it's possible, but will you write randomly on the national letter?" Li Jue said helplessly, "So no matter what, I plan to go and take a look, even if I understand the combat power of our allies."
"If this is the case, we have to go, but we will wait a moment, and soon the army sent by the military advisor will arrive. At that time, our troops will be united so that the other party will not be underestimated." Guo Si showed thoughts when he heard this, and then said strongly.
"That's fine, it's okay to raise an army until July anyway, so we can wait a little longer. By the way, what does it mean to send a lot of civil officials to us?" Li Jue turned his head and said to Guo Si.
Guo Si repeated what he knew, "Actually, I asked my subordinates to kidnap people in Liangzhou. I guess they could kidnap 200,000 people. The slogan was to divide a household into three thousand acres of land, of which 500 acres are not taxed."
"Hey, can we order this if we collect taxes?" Li Jue suddenly reacted.
"Whether to divide the land or not is a matter of our word. Isn't it easy to determine whether to collect taxes or not?" Fan Chou said casually. For him, Guo Si made a slogan called "Three thousand acres per household, and this guy didn't care at all, and no one farmed anyway.
"That's right." Li Jue touched his beard and felt it was reasonable. He never thought that this was an independent judicial power that only the vassal states had.
"Then just do it, wait to get people over, and then let the Chen family, Sima family, and Xun family you mentioned, at least you have to be self-sufficient. It is always unreliable to rely on expropriation from the Western Regions." Li Jue made the final decision. Whoever made this group of people have an internal affairs higher than fifty? The current logistics are only available by expropriation from the Western Regions.
"The military advisor's apprentice comes here and be a military advisor for us. I heard that this business also requires practice." Fan Chou thought for a while and said, "I always feel that after losing the military advisor, I have suffered a lot of brainless losses. Not having a smart person is really a big problem."
"That's right, after all, he is a military apprentice, so it should not be a problem at all. Yes, I have to respect Yu, who knows what he likes?" Li Jue agreed with Fan Chou's words. Li Ru's status in their minds was still very noble, so relatively speaking, before Zhuge Liang came, Li Jue and others regarded it as his own.
"How about Kunshan Jade?" Duan Wei thought for a while and said.
"No, no, this kind of thing is like fooling people. I just gave Zijian a piece and asked him to give it to the military advisor. A while ago, we found another piece better than that. This is completely insincere." Fan Chou directly rejected that there were too many things in the Western Regions.
"Why don't you give me a golden camel? I see that there is such a place in Kangju Palace." Guo Si thought for a while and said.
"This is too vulgar. He is a military apprentice, not you, just a golden camel. I can melt one out when I turn back." Li Jue directly rejected such a low-powered proposal. As expected, Guo Si's IQ is too low.
"I'll give you any references if you have anything. I've seen Zhuge Kongming many times." Hua Fei saw four guys proposing back and forth, but was constantly rejected by others. He frowned and said, "These four guys are in trouble."
"Oh, by the way, I haven't thanked Mr. Zhongming for helping him pick up his arm. Looking back, you can take whatever you like in our treasury." Li Jue said casually. Anyway, they don't want the things in the treasury.
Hua Fei was very interested in Li Jue's treasury. Seeing that the four people were quarreling again, they were not too lazy. He took Li Jue's handwritten seal and ribbon to the treasury. After entering, there were various treasures and even armor and weapons. However, except for the weapons and armor, which were well preserved due to their frequent wiping and warming, the others were covered with dust.
"These guys." Hua Fei saw that there were indeed many good things inside, but just seeing a layer of dust falling on it, you know that these things were all given up by those guys, otherwise they would not have been like this.
Hua Fei spent a lot of time finding many rare medicinal herbs in the treasury that were said to be miraculously effective in the local treasury. At this time, Li Jue, Guo Si and others could barely reach an agreement. Only Li Jue had read books and knew some ancient Chinese, and successfully defeated Fan Chou, Guo Si and Duan Wei.
"Please map, offer map, look at Jing Ke assassinating the King of Qin, holding Yan Dukang's map, even Qin Shihuang could deceive him, which means that this is a great gift." Li Jie angrily squirted the other two, and Duan Wei was also sprayed.
Li Jue became a monk halfway through the journey. Although he had studied, he was not sure about the reality inside. Not to mention Guo Si and Fan Chou, a bandit and a lower-level citizen. Li Jue was slightly higher than these two, no matter how bad he was, he was.
In addition, the three of them were not princes and did not understand what it means to offer a map. They just felt that this gift seemed high-end, elegant and upscale, and even Qin Shihuang could fool him and give him the future military advisors. There should be no problem.
"But it's a bit nonsense to offer a map, and I feel insincere." Although Fan Chou and Guo Si were hit by Li Jue, they still cursed, expressing their dissatisfaction, "It's just a silk cloth."
"I think I need to add something else." With Fan Chou's encouragement, Guo Si started to dance again. Anyway, Li Jue's behavior seemed to be insincere in his opinion.
"Gagaga, what do you think you will add! There are no beauties in this broken place. If not, let's go to the Western Regions to buy a few princesses." Li Jue said without any bottom line.
"Well, let me ask first, we probably don't have a map." Duan Wei suddenly raised his hand and asked. They have been relying on guides recently. To be precise, no one in their group can draw.
"No, I can't draw!" Li Jie roared without waiting for Guo Si and Fan Chou to mock him, "Tomorrow I will find someone who can draw to make a map with me and draw all the places that belong to us. Besides, isn't the military apprentice still two months to come? Two months is not enough for us to draw a map? Tomorrow I will go to the Western Regions to draw a map."
"It's OK." Duan Wei said that he stopped talking.
When Li Jue and others decided to deliver things to Zhuge Liang, after experiencing the cold winter in the north of the Western Regions, Yuan Tan and his group finally arrived at their destination.
At this time, Yuan Tan's number of people not only did not decrease, but instead, because he advanced westward and fought from places close to the east coast, he conquered everything he encountered, and his strength became much more expanding, especially the more barbarians under his command.
