"When are you going to send troops to help us, Yelang, restore our country?"
Ayimu made it clear as soon as he came up, without any secrets.
Zhao Jun took her to sit under a tree in the yard and said with a smile: "Didn't I say it takes a certain amount of preparation time?"
Ayimu ignored this insubstantial answer and asked again: "How long was that?"
Zhao Jun thought for a while and replied: "Maybe one year, maybe two or three years.
After all, the Western Region is so far away from here. It is a laborious expedition for the army, so it is normal to be prepared. "
Ayimu gritted his silver teeth and asked: "Are you lying to me? You have never thought about helping our Yelang recover the country."
Zhao Jun shrugged: "I didn't lie to you, it's just that this matter takes time."
"you!"
Ayimu was angry, but didn't know what to do. Now that he was married to him, if he left now, everything he had invested would be in vain. But waiting for him, he didn't know that he would have to wait until the year of the monkey. .
Zhao Jun looked at Ayimu with a smile. There was no anxious look on his face, and he looked completely confident.
If Ayimu was a time traveler like Zhao Jun, she would definitely understand that she has fallen into a trap of teaching sunk costs.
Now that you have paid the capital, but what you asked for has not been realized, then before it is realized, even for the initial investment cost, you will not continue to persist, or even invest more costs, you only hope that your own The cost will be repaid.
There is no doubt that Zhao Jun is using this trap to take advantage of Ayimu.
Western Region?
Zhao Jun will definitely send troops, but in his plan, it will take a few years until Yunzhou County develops again, or the railway between the three cities in Yunzhong is built and the trial is successful. Later, we would only prepare for building a railway to the Tatar grassland.
As for now, we have to put it off for a while.
Seeing Zhao Jun's appearance like an old god, Ayimu was so angry that he couldn't speak.
However, at this moment, Wang Huaien suddenly walked into the palace quickly with a solemn expression. When he saw Zhao Jun in the front yard, his eyes lit up and he quickly called the prince and came over immediately.
Zhao Jun was a little surprised at first with such an expression, but when he learned what happened from Wang Huaien, his expression became serious.
First, Brick said to Ayimu who was standing aside: "Don't worry about the restoration of the country. Since the king has agreed, it will definitely be done. It's just a matter of time. I have urgent matters to deal with now, so you can go back first. "
After saying that, Zhao Jun took Wang Huai'en out of the mansion and walked towards the county governor's office.
At this time, in the county governor's office, Jiang He also received a letter from the tribe asking for help from the border. When he was hesitating whether to go to Zhao Jun alone to report the matter, he suddenly heard the faint voice of his subordinates coming from outside the public house. Respectfully call out.
"I've met the prince!"
"See you, my lord!"
"Your Majesty, a thousand years old!"
…
By the time Zhao Jun arrived at the door of the public house, Jiang He inside was already ready.
As soon as the door opened, Zhao Jun saw Jiang He who was saluting him respectfully.
"Jiang He, the lower official, comes to see the prince!"
Zhao Jun was not in the mood to deal with all the red tape with him now, so he waved his hand directly and said:
"Stop trying to deal with all this. Hurry up and gather some people. Let's have a brief meeting to discuss some things. I believe you have received the request for help from the border, right?"
Although Zhao Jun's words were questions, they were actually affirmative.
Although his information channel is definitely faster than Yunzhou County's official channel, it is only a day or two faster at most, so Jiang He must have received the letter for help by this time.
Jiang He nodded and said: "Back to the prince, I have indeed received it. I will call my colleagues here."
After giving another salute, he quickly turned around and left.
About half an hour later, the three chief officers of Yunzhou County, as well as the Yunzhou Army's coach Ding Hongguang and deputy commander Guan Ning, all arrived at the public house.
Everyone sat down at Zhao Jun's signal, and then Zhao Jun went straight to the point and sent the letter for circulation. After everyone read it once, Zhao Jun asked aloud:
"What do you think about this matter? Does the Da Yuezhi want to start a war again?
If so, should our Yunzhou County send troops to assist?
In just half a month, a tribe of 40,000 people was wiped out.
This is not an accident, this is definitely an organized and premeditated action!
However, they have been using this method to exterminate people, but they have never invaded on a large scale.
What is the purpose of Da Yuezhi doing this? Who can explain it to me? "
After everyone was silent for a moment, Ding Hongguang stood up and cupped his hands and guessed:
"Your Majesty, I wonder if Da Yuezhi is doing some early testing?
By the way, clear the roadblocks as a preliminary preparation before the army sets off? "
As soon as Ding Hongguang finished speaking, Guan Ning immediately answered:
"What Governor Ding said is true, and the general also has this suspicion. We are wondering if this is a sign before the storm is coming? And we are probably using this method to test the true strength of the Tatars on the Tatar grassland today, and Will we support the Tatar border tribes to make early predictions and preparations for the Tatar border invasion!"
After some discussion with them, Jiang felt that this might be the most trustworthy.
So they all expressed their agreement, but Zhao Jun looked at them and secretly shook his head.
He always felt that things were not that simple. The last war between the Tatars and the Yueshi just passed not long ago. Did the Yueshi lick their wounds so quickly?
Is it possible that the Western Regions are really that rich?
In contrast, Zhao Jun expressed doubts!
Suspicion was suspicion, but Zhao Jun did not say it out, but let them discuss it. After all, he had no evidence to prove that it was not Da Yuezhi who did it, right?
But in the bottom of his heart, he has secretly decided to let the secret guards investigate. No matter what hidden secrets there are, as long as it is not true, there will always be flaws and clues can be found. He believes in the level of the secret guards.
After discussion, the officials, Ding Hongguang and others unanimously determined that this was a test by Da Yuezhi. Regarding this kind of test, Ding Hongguang and others said that they must give a severe counterattack, otherwise if the opponent thinks that they are a soft persimmon, then This kind of thing will happen endlessly in the future.
However, the Yunzhou Army had just returned, and Zhao Jun did not want to send them out again at this time.
More importantly, what a coincidence!
Their war with the Xiongnu had just ended. He believed that with the size of the Great Yueshi, they would definitely be able to receive news of their battle. Under such circumstances, it was really suspicious that the Great Yueshi dared to take the initiative to find trouble.
After thinking about it, Zhao Jun said: "If it is confirmed that it was Da Yuezhi who did it, then we will fight him. Yunzhou County will not be afraid of Da Yuezhi.
But I always felt that there was something fishy inside, so I sent a team of envoys to Dayuezhi in my name. Go ask about this incident.
If this matter was really done by the Da Yueshi, they would definitely reveal their faults. If not, then they would have to find the mastermind behind it.
Although I am not afraid of war, and I believe that our Yunzhou Army is not afraid of any army, I do not want to be a spearman for others! "
As soon as Zhao Jun said this, everyone looked at each other for a while, but then they nodded in agreement.
Indeed, if you think about it carefully, there is something wrong.
Time came too fast and was too tight, and generally the Dayue clan would not rush to kill them all even if they wanted to destroy any tribe.
As both tribes were born on the grassland, there has always been an unspoken rule among the grassland tribes that children smaller than the size of a wheel are not to be killed. Even though the Da Yueshi no longer live on the grassland, this unspoken rule has never been violated in the past.
It's a bit strange to kill everyone alive this time.
"Your Majesty, who should I send as an envoy?"
Jiang He asked aloud.
Zhao Jun thought for a while and then asked:
"This mission to Da Yuezhi is still risky, and the person who sends the mission must have flexible adaptability and the courage to make decisions.
At the same time, we must not lose the face of our Yunzhou County. Although our Yunzhou County has sent an envoy, this does not mean that the king is afraid of his Da Yueshi.
Are there any such people among Yunzhou County officials today? "
Jiang He thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "After thinking about the conditions proposed by the prince, I can't think of any official except the poisonous Wang Cezhi."
Disappointment flashed across Zhao Jun's eyes. The population base of Yunzhou County was still too small, and there were also few talents. Unexpectedly, he could not find even one person to send an envoy.
However, the next moment, Zhu Tuo, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Your Majesty, there is someone I would like to recommend to you!"
"who?"
Zhao Jun and Jiang He asked at the same time, and everyone looked over at the same time.
Facing everyone's gaze, Zhu Tuo spit out a name.
"Formerly a minor official in Yunzhou City, now the chief clerk of Yunzhong City - Ban Chao Ban Zhaozhi."
…
Guess who he is? hey-hey.
