Chapter 782 Garrison 2,000 troops in Loulan King City to ensure the Silk Road!
"Of course, I, the Qin people, pay attention to every spit and nail, and of course I keep my word. However, the chamber of commerce and caravans under my command will go to the Western Regions and the Far West for trade."
"And Loulan is the gateway here. There will be two thousand troops stationed in Loulan Royal City to ensure that the caravan can be rushed to the rescue at any time!"
Having said this, Ying Gao grinned and said: "We can't afford to send hundreds of thousands of troops from Liangzhou to the Western Regions if something goes wrong. This will cause panic among other countries, and I can't bear it."
"What the Crown Prince of the Qin Dynasty said is true. The warriors of the Qin Dynasty are extremely elite. Two thousand troops are enough to protect the caravan. If the Qin Dynasty's hundreds of thousands of troops enter the Western Regions, it will definitely cause panic."
At this moment, King Youxian of the Xiongnu was the first to say that the Western Region was a piece of fat. Not only Ying Gao was staring at it, but Touman Shanyu was also staring at it. At this time, he naturally did not want Ying Gao to have the right to send troops to the Western Region at any time.
.
At the same time, the kings also began to agree that Da Qin must be too powerful and could destroy the country at any time.
"As for the division of land, after Shanguo and Loulan are destroyed, I will personally send the Liangzhou Prefect to handle the matter. I hope all the kings can help!"
This is a good thing for the kings. They will naturally not object. They will definitely see this as increasing their strength without being under huge pressure. They are naturally happy to see it succeed.
At this moment, the kings showed a hint of calmness in their expressions. They turned to Ying Gao and said, "This matter is the intention of the Crown Prince of Qin. We have no other intention!"
Great Qin stationed two thousand troops in the Loulan Royal City, which had little impact on them. After all, it was only two thousand troops. It was not the case that Great Qin sent troops to suppress a place, but in the end there was no benefit at all.
If so, they would be even more worried
A banquet, spent in a relaxed atmosphere.
Finally, the kings left, and Ying Gao returned to the official office. Although he had been drinking, Ying Gao was always sober. He had long been used to drinking for Jian Nanchun.
But the kings are different, and naturally there is a gap in their drinking capacity. Moreover, there is another difference, that is, no one dares to persuade him to drink in the atmosphere present, but the kings are different.
Coupled with the matter of dividing the land, the kings were naturally happy and drank too much. Everyone was happy at this banquet, and the only one who was not happy was King Youxian of the Xiongnu.
After all, this time when the territory was divided, without Qin, there would naturally be no Xiongnu. Just as he did not want Ying Gao to intervene in the Western Regions, Ying Gao naturally did not want him to intervene.
In the study, the map of the Western Regions clearly fell into Ying Gao's eyes. Fan Zeng and Ma Xing were both beside him, and the three of them were silent while looking at the map.
"General Ying, according to the news from Tie Lihua, the army has arrived outside Yumen Pass and Yang Pass, and all the gentlemen have also entered the army."
Ning Sheng walked in and cupped his hands towards Ying Gaoyi, saying: "Wang Li and Meng Liao request General Ying's order to destroy them in one battle."
"Send the order, the army is directed towards Loulan Royal City, destroy Loulan first, and then destroy Shanguo, with greater momentum, in order to achieve the purpose of destroying the country and frightening the Western Regions."
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Ning Sheng turned around and left. He knew in his heart that the alliance of kings had reached this point, and Ying Gao was filled with rage. Only by destroying the country could he display his power and intimidate the other countries.
Ning Sheng turned around and left. Fan Zeng put his hand on the map, drew a line on the territory of Loulan and Shan Kingdom, and then said to Ying Gao.
"General Ying, forget about this mountain country, but the geographical location of Loulan is extremely important. According to your previous deduction, Loulan is a key point on the Silk Road."
"Are you going to give up like this?"
Fan Zeng is a wise man. Although he is very cold towards the merchants and considers himself inferior, he has been working under Ying Gao for many years, so naturally he has some understanding of the merchants.
He knew in his heart that once there was interest in business here, just one Loulan would rise rapidly and become rich.
Fan Zeng knew that Ying Gao was originally an ambitious man, and the Great Qin Ruins were very powerful, but Great Qin's economy was miserable and it urgently needed external blood transfusions.
Da Qin has been at war over the years. It is because of this that Da Qin's internal tax revenue alone is simply not enough to maintain the operation of Da Qin's court.
Great Qin's treasury improved after Ying Gao's expedition to the northwest. This is why the Qin government and people not only did not have the slightest objection to Ying Gao's expedition, but the whole country supported it.
A large part of the financial expenditures of the Great Qin court came from the Jiannan Chamber of Commerce and the Peacock Chamber of Commerce under Ying Gao. In particular, Ying Gao was basically the one who provided the money and effort for all levels of the academies in Da Qin.
Under such circumstances, how could Ying Gao give up a place like Loulan that was destined to be rich? Even in Fan Zeng's view, Ying Gao's destruction of Loulan this time was more out of profit than the King of Loulan's desire for him.
Disrespectful.
"To rashly include Loulan under the rule of Great Qin will touch the sensitive nerves of the countries in the Western Regions. The next Great Qin will need the stability of Liangzhou, so we will have to do this."
Ying Gao withdrew his eyes from the map, took a sip of tea, and said in a relaxed tone: "Moreover, this is an opportunity. Although I gave up the territory of Loulan and Shanguo, I got an honest reason to intervene in the Western Region."
"With two thousand python troops entering the Loulan Royal City, it will naturally allow the gold and silver on Loulan's trade route to flow into Liangzhou. Liangzhou will be the focus of the future Silk Road."
"Because, I am here, and this place represents Da Qin."
The army was advancing rapidly. Fusu, Jianglu and others in the army had long been accustomed to such a high-intensity life. Although they were miserable in their hearts, they could not speak out.
They were not afraid of Ying Gao's jokes, nor were they afraid of ridicule by the army's sergeants, but as members of the Ying family of Great Qin, the dignity in their blood made them grit their teeth and persevere.
They cannot be embarrassed because their surname is Ying.
This surname gives them glory, so naturally they also want to share this surname with each other. This is their innate mission.
"Brother, starting from Xianyang, the army has been marching with such intensity. Just now I heard what the commander said, we are probably going to Yumen Pass or Yang Pass."
A look of solemnity appeared on Jiang Lu's face. This was the first time he had heard of Yangguan and Yumenguan, but he also knew that Yangguan and Yumenguan, like Hangu Pass, were the gateways to the northwest of the Qin Dynasty.
Liangzhou was locked up with two passes to protect the Qin Dynasty.
But this extremely important pass is often the place where death is most likely, because war is most likely to break out on such a pass.
It is said that the walls of Hangu Pass are all red because they are dyed red by blood.
