Salewoqi smiled at King Kangju and gave him an ambiguous answer. After all, even if the Chinese envoys didn't come, you still summoned yourself. Now that they have come, and you brought me here, it must have something to do with them.
"What you expected is correct. It is indeed related to the Chinese envoy. So what do you think the Chinese envoy is doing here?"
King Kangju shook his head. This answer was too general, so he asked again. He wanted to see how capable the other party was.
"I don't know about Sarwoch. I believe that the king did not recruit me here to test me, but because he has something undecided and wants me to be an adviser. If this is the case, I hope the king will tell you directly."
Sarewoqi shook his head. I am a scholar, not a fortune teller. I can't tell fortunes. If I could tell fortunes consecutively, I guess you, King Kangju, wouldn't be able to keep you.
"Okay, then I won't turn around. The Chinese envoys came and stated that their millions of soldiers have already entered Dayuezhi. Now they invite us, Kangju, to attack Dayuezhi together and provide food, grass and drinking water until Dayuezhi is captured.
After that, he gave the land of Khwarezm to Kangju as the governor."
The other party couldn't answer. Prince Kangju had nothing to say. He was a little too harsh on others. The other party may be a wise man, but he definitely didn't rise to the level of a prophet.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid you think that Hua Xia's trip has a big goal. It's not just to conquer the Yueshi, but it's also possible to take advantage of the situation to capture Kangju. Am I right?"
Hearing that the target of the Chinese attack on the Western Regions was the Yuezhi, although Salewoqi's facial expression remained unchanged, his heart was already in turmoil and could not calm down for a long time.
After all, China is China. If you take any action, an empire like the Great Yuezhi is simply too powerful.
The reason why King Kang Ju asked this must be because China was too powerful, so strong that King Kang Ju was afraid of it.
They were afraid that after the opponent captured the Dayue clan, Kangju would become the second Dayue clan and be destroyed by it.
"That's why Prime Minister Udarbu put forward two assumptions. One is that China has bad intentions. The reason why they are uniting with Kangju now is just to reduce their own supply losses. After they capture the Great Yueshi, they will take advantage of the situation to attack us.
Kangju started,
Secondly, Huaxia, just like the great Han Dynasty before it, has no desire for a prosperous life. It just gives us a chance. If we can help now, we will be richly rewarded."
King Kangju nodded towards Salewoqi. The other party could clearly see things and knew what the worries in the court were. This also proved that he had indeed found nothing wrong by asking him.
"Your Majesty, how do you feel about the big man treating Kang Ju?"
Hearing King Kangju confirm his idea, Sarewoqi smiled again and asked the other party a question.
"If we say that in the past, the Han Dynasty was really good to Kang Ju, but I, Kang Ju, were also very obedient to the Han Dynasty. I paid tribute every year without interruption."
King Kang Ju thought for a while and directly expressed the man's attitude towards Kang Ju.
"Then I would like to ask Your Majesty, why did the Chinese army attack Dayuezhi directly instead of going north to capture Kangju first?
After all, Kang Juzhi’s national power is much weaker than that of the Dayue clan, so it won’t take much effort to capture us, and after capturing us, then attacking the Dayue clan, wouldn’t there be no worries?”
Salewoqi was a great man who was studying, and he longed for China, the Kingdom of Heaven. The reason why he returned to Kangju after completing his studies was because he saw the suffering of the people in Kangju, and wanted to use his knowledge to make them live a better life.
But after he came back, he realized that what he had learned was of no use at all, because he had no strength and could not do anything at all, so he avoided compiling knowledge in order to infect more Kangju people.
But over the years, he has gained nothing but the reputation of a sage.
Now the Chinese army is coming to attack Dayuezhi. Although he knows that after taking Dayuezhi, he will probably attack Kangju.
But in his mind, if Kangju really merged with China, the benefits would outweigh the disadvantages for Kangju, so he had to find ways to facilitate this.
"this?
Why do you think the Chinese do this?"
Hearing Salewoqi's words, King Kangju was also stunned. Yes, why didn't the other side send people to attack Kangju first? Wouldn't it be better to wait until after taking Kangju to attack Dayuezhi?
Why would the other party do this?
"Your Majesty, China has been traveling all the way, and the Wusun clan has been conquered by it, but the other side has not sent troops to us. After all, there is only one answer I can think of, and that is that China does not regard Kang Juguo as an enemy at all.
That's why the other party sent envoys here to unite with Kang Juxing, otherwise I can't think of any situation that can explain the current situation."
Salwoqi looked at King Kangju in a daze and immediately spoke again.
"What you said makes sense. None of the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, including me, are as clear-minded as you, an outsider."
To be honest, King Kangju really agreed with Sarewoqi's words. Just like the question mentioned by the other party, the most obvious explanation for why the other party did not attack him was that he did not put Kangju on the enemy's side. Otherwise, otherwise
No commander-in-chief would sit back and watch Kang Ju behind.
"Your Majesty, I'm just not in the game."
Sarewoqi shook his head. He didn't deserve the high praise King Kangju gave him. Otherwise, if others didn't tell him, the Prime Minister Dara Ubu wouldn't be able to get around him. He was just a commoner, and he couldn't afford to offend someone who could dominate the world with one hand.
figure.
"Um."
King Kangju's heart is no longer here. He is wondering if he can make a decision now.
"If nothing happens to your Majesty, Salvoqi will retire."
Seeing that King Kangju had listened to his words, Sarewoqi bowed to him and left.
"Come here and give Salwoqi a hundred taels of gold."
Although King Kangju has not yet decided whether to defect to China or not, Sarewoqi's words are very insightful, and such people still need to be won over.
"As long as I can relieve the king's worries, forget about the rewards."
When he heard that the other party was going to reward him with a hundred taels of gold, Sarewoqi shook his head. He didn't come here for those rewards.
"What is given to you is given to you, just accept it with peace of mind."
King Kang Ju shook his head slightly, just take what he gives you.
"In this case, Salvoqi will thank the king."
After looking at King Kang Ju, Sarewoqi could only nod and accept.
"Call Udalbu over, I have something important to discuss."
After Salwoqi left, King Kangju thought for a while and decided to discuss it with the Prime Minister.
Soon Udarbu came to answer the call. Looking at the somewhat excited King Kangju, he knew that the other party might have made a decision.
"Your Majesty called me here, but have you made a decision?"
Udalbu saluted the other party.
"Udalbu, let me ask you a question. If you were the commander-in-chief of China, would you send troops to attack Da Yuezhi first, or would you send troops to Ankang first?"
King Kangju glanced at the other party and directly spoke out the question about Sarewoqi.
"this?"
King Kangju's question immediately stopped Udalbu. He didn't understand why the other party asked this question, but now that he thinks about it, this question is indeed a problem.
"What does Your Majesty want to express?"
Although he did not have an answer in a short period of time, it did not prevent him from asking the other party questions.
"Answer my question first, why did the Chinese ignore Kangju and directly attack the Da Yueshi in the west?"
King Kangju still had the same problem, he wanted to see how the Prime Minister understood it.
"There are two possibilities for this. One is that the other party thinks that we will not send troops at all and does not regard us as enemies. The other is that he has enough confidence that even if Kang Ju sends troops, the other party will have enough strength to deal with it. In addition,
I can't think of any other reason."
Udarbu's mind was spinning very quickly. Since King Kangju insisted on asking, he could only give these two answers.
"If that's the case, how do you think we should make a decision now? Can we still unite with the Yueshi to fight against China?"
King Kang Ju glanced at the other party, since you said so, can he still fight against China?
"This, if that's the case, no matter which of these two reasons are, we have no reason to unite with the Yueshi to fight against China."
After talking about this, Udalbu finally figured out what King Kang Ju meant. The other party wanted to join forces with Huaxia to fight against the Yueshi. As for coming out of one body, go away.
Well, if you are a dead Taoist friend or a poor Taoist, no one will cause trouble.
"Can that be decided?"
King Kangju nodded towards Udalbu. His heart really turned towards China now and he did not want to fight such a behemoth.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry now. It will take a few days for the four little kings to arrive. Didn't you send the dancers and musicians there? The so-called drunken gaffe may lead to unexpected gains."
Udalbu shook his head slightly. It was too early to make a decision now. After all, the four little kings had not come yet, and he could not make a decision in a single round. Moreover, he sent the dancing girl there just to find out about the situation of the Chinese people.
.
"That's right. Let's wait until the four kings arrive. In addition, we should always pay attention to the situation of the Chinese envoys."
King Kangju smiled slightly, that was indeed what he meant at the beginning, but now it depends on whether the Chinese envoy will take the bait.
"Gong Jin, you don't look like that. Why would you ask for a dancing girl like King Kang Ju?"
After returning to the military camp, Yan Liang glanced at the dancing girl sent behind him and couldn't help but feel confused.
"General Gongji, His Majesty said that a person should combine work and rest. We have been sending troops for such a long time, so we have to have some fun, right?"
Zhou Yu glanced at Yan Liang and said these words directly.
"?
?
Is there something fishy with you?"
Hearing what Zhou Yu said, Yan Liang became even more confused, but one thing was certain, that is, there must be something fishy about Zhou Yu.
"Haha, I can't hide anything from you. This is the situation in Kang Ju's country. We are coming north this time. Even if we can't let Kang Ju send troops, we still have to stabilize them. I want these dancing girls to come over. This actually has a profound meaning.
